Chapter 296: Winter Hunting
"Mom, let's go to the city tomorrow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the evening, Chu Xian's family had dinner with their uncle and aunt, and said to their parents after the meal.
"If you don't go tomorrow, you have to hang water for Ziran, if I don't go, your sister won't be coaxed, this little guy is a thing every day, tomorrow is the last day, you take Xiaoying to walk around us."
"There's nothing fun in our house." Chu Xian's sister and brother-in-law used to go out to work together, and Ziran was brought by Chu's mother, in Xiao Ziran's heart, she was still closer to her grandmother, and when she hung up the water, she cried and shouted that only Chu's mother could coax her.
"You take Xiaoying to Qinshan Lake tomorrow to have a look, tomorrow it will start winter fishing, there are so many people in that place." Father Chu smoked a cigarette and said.
"Winter fishing starts tomorrow?" There was a look of surprise on Chu Xian's face.
"Well, starting tomorrow, the weather forecast says that the temperature will reach more than minus 20 degrees tomorrow, which is just right." Father Chu nodded.
"Okay, then I'll take Xiaoying over tomorrow to have a look." Chu Xian had a happy look on his face.
"What winter catch?" Xiao Ying looked at Chu Xian with some curiosity.
"It's fishing." Chu Xian explained to her: "There is a big lake in our Yi City, Yishan Lake, which is one of the top 30 lakes in China, connected to the Yangtze River, and a winter fishing will be held every winter. ”
"It's cold in winter here, and Yishan Lake will freeze in December, but it won't be as thick as one or two meters of ice in the northeast, and we'll freeze half a meter at most, but even then there will be nothing for people standing on it."
"Winter fishing is a custom that has been passed down for hundreds of years in Washan District, Yishi City, and in recent years, every winter fishing has attracted a lot of people, and it is also very exciting when winter fishing."
Chu Xian recalled the previous participation in the winter fishing, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Really? Then we'll check it out tomorrow. Xiao Ying heard him say with an expectant look on her face.
Chu Xian nodded.
The next morning, Chu Xian and Xiao Ying drove towards Washan District after breakfast.
Yishan Lake in Washan District is not very close to their home, it takes more than 40 minutes to drive, the car is a Chang'an of 80,000 or 90,000 yuan bought by my sister's family when she got married, and another newly bought BMW X5 has to take Ziran to the hospital.
When Chu Xian and Xiao Ying came to the side of Yishan Lake, all kinds of cars were already parked on both sides of the surrounding roads, looking towards Yishan Lake from a distance, there were at least thousands of people on it.
"Wow, that's a lot of people." Xiao Ying looked at the people on the lake with a look of surprise on her face.
Chu Xian and Xiao Ying's house are in two opposite positions in the north and south, and the distance between the two families is at least ten hours if you take the train, so the temperature difference is very large, and it rarely freezes on the river surface of Xiao Ying's hometown, and now I feel very novel to see a person walking on the river.
"Let's go, let's go down." Chu Xian directly took Xiao Ying's hand and walked down.
Now that the school has all been closed, there are many children who come to Yishan Lake, one by one excitedly skating on the lake, this natural skating rink is much more fun than that kind of skating rink.
"Come on." Chu Xian took Xiao Ying by the hand and ran directly towards the river along a path.
"Slow down." Xiao Ying was pulled by his arm and shouted with a worried face.
"Haha, it's okay, do you want me to carry you?" Chu Xian laughed, grabbed her two arms without waiting for her to react, and bent down to carry her on her back.
"Run slower, it's dangerous." Xiao Ying hugged his neck and reminded.
"Don't worry, believe it or not, I can fly with you on my back." Chu Xian said hesitantly.
"Then you fly, I'll see how you fly." Xiao Ying lay on top of him and gave him a roll of the eyes.
"Then you have to watch it." Chu Xian smiled, because there was a slope of dozens of meters where he came to the lake, so he jumped directly down.
"Ahh Xiao Ying saw that he suddenly kicked the ground, and the whole person was startled, and closed her eyes in fear.
"Don't be afraid baby, hehe!" Chu Xian saw that Xiao Ying reacted so much, and hurriedly comforted him, it might be a little difficult to let him fly now, but it was no problem to really let him jump more than ten meters.
But here it is clear that he can't show it.
"Slow down, or you'll put me down." Xiao Ying said with some fear.
"Okay, I'll slow down." Chu Xian smiled and walked slowly into the distance.
Yishan Lake covers an area of about 200 square kilometers, as far as the eye can see, and there is an entrance to the Yangtze River on one side, the water of the Yangtze River is flowing and does not freeze, but when it goes deep into the interior of Qinshan Lake, Qinshan Lake begins to freeze.
Chu Xian's hometown is the coldest city in the Yangtze River Basin.
When he walked to the surface of the lake, Chu Xian slid hard, and under the strong inertia, the whole person directly slid out five or six meters away.
"Quick, put me down." Xiao Ying patted him on the back excitedly.
"Okay." Chu Xian smiled and placed her on the surface of the lake.
Those who had never skated on the surface of the lake would never know the fun, so Xiaoying stood on it and took two steps cautiously.
Chu Xian immediately walked over and pulled her towards the front.
"Ah, don't pull me." Xiao Ying shouted loudly and squatted down in panic.
Chu Xian smiled: "Then you just squat on it, I'll pull you, and we'll go to the fishing place." ”
He turned into a sled dog in an instant, dragging Xiaoying's arm with one hand, and ran quickly on the ice.
Xiao Ying was sitting on a pulley, sliding quickly towards the front.
"Ahh At this time, Chu Xian let out a loud cry and suddenly let go of her arm.
Xiao Ying was let go by him, and her body slid forward by inertia, screaming from her mouth.
"Haha." Chu Xian smiled and immediately caught up, blocking in front of her and hugging her body.
"You scoundrel, stay away from me." Xiao Ying glared at him and slowly stood up.
"Okay, let's go ahead and have a look." Chu Xian smiled and helped her up, and the two slowly walked towards the position inside.
In the center, there are many people gathered there, some with ice drilling machines in their hands breaking the ice and lowering the nets, and in other places there has already drilled a long hole with fishing nets on it.
There are a lot of fish in Yishan Lake, in normal times, Yishan Lake is forbidden to fish, only in the annual winter fishing time, and even if you use fishing nets, it is also a special fishing net, the mesh is very large, and small fish can not be caught.
"Come on, let's go to that place." After they walked a few hundred meters, Chu Xian suddenly saw a group of people dressed in colorful clothes gathered on the right.
"Huh? What is there to do? Xiao Ying looked over suspiciously.
"Winter fishing is their national custom in Washan District, so they will hold a ceremony to sacrifice the lake and wake up the net before the winter fishing, the lake is a sacrifice to the lake god, and the awakening net is a sacrifice to the fishing net, through the sacrifice of the lake to the heavenly father, the earth mother, and the lake god, bless all creatures to continue to reproduce, and the people live an auspicious and healthy life; They believe that there are spirits attached to the nets, and that the nets have been dormant for a long time after being put into the warehouse during the non-fishing season, and they need to be awakened before fishing. This ceremony expresses people's good wishes for a smooth and safe lake. ”
"Of course, people now know that this is superstition, but this custom has not been abolished, but it is very popular."
"Are they going to dance in their fancy clothes?" Xiao Ying asked curiously.
"That's right, there are more people surnamed He in the entire Washan District, it is their traditional dance, and later some aunts also participated, which is very interesting."
The two walked to the front, surrounded by several flags, and in the next position there were people from the cultural organization department of Washan District, and many people gathered around.
After a brief introductory speech by the leader, the mysterious and enthusiastic sacrificial rites began, and they danced strange dances one by one.
"Get off the net!" After the dance, an old man shouted, and then dozens of men slowly lowered the fishing nets into the chiseled lake.
"Is that how you can catch a fish?" It was the first time Xiao Ying had encountered Winter Fishing, and asked curiously.
"Of course, winter fishing is very interesting, because the lake is frozen, as long as you dig a mouth, there will be fish swimming over, and in our place, a net can weigh 70,000 or 80,000 catties." Chu Xian said with a smile.
"Seventy or eighty thousand catties? Oh my God, that's so many! Xiao Ying's face was full of surprise.
"Much, we have a relatively small winter fishing here because of the limited conditions, do you know how many catties of winter fishing in China's famous Jingpo Lake? 860,000 catties. ”
"There is also the famous winter fishing area Chagan Lake, where tens of thousands of people will gather at the time of winter fishing, the scene is huge, and the night will be held on the lake, and many first-line stars have been invited to perform, and CCTV has also reported on this."
"That's a grand one." Xiaoying's mouth opened slightly.
"Hmm." Chu Xian nodded: "On the first day of winter fishing today, there will be a lot of interesting things, come and I will take you to fishing, it is very interesting." ”
"How do we fish, are we going to cut the ice off the lake?" Xiao Ying asked excitedly.
"That's right, we're going to go and rent a fishing rod and have someone dig a hole for us."
Chu Xian smiled and led Xiao Ying to a stall with a table not far away, on which there were small fishing rods and bait, and a middle-aged man with an ice chisel machine.
"Boss, rent two fishing rods and dig two holes for us by the way."
"Okay young man, if you want to dig a hole, you can dig two of them in the designated area, right?"
"Yes." Chu Xian nodded, leading Xiao Ying to follow the middle-aged man.
The ice in Yishan Lake is not as thick as the ice on the surface of the lake in the northeast, and if you dig a hole at will, the ice will collapse, so it is specified in a specific area.
