Chapter 13 Successful Offline
"Brother Snow, this is our last meal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info" Briss came to the table with a plate of wheat cakes and gently put it down, the only food left in the town had been drained. After this breakfast, if they can't catch any more fish, the residents have to venture out into the mountains and forests to hunt. However, judging from everyone's physical condition and equipment now, the chance of taking the initiative to go into the mountains and forests and becoming prey is greater.
"Inform everyone, after breakfast, bring the fishing tools prepared before to the Lianxi River to gather." Snow picked up a piece of wheat cake, "I've had enough of this thing." After saying that, he took a hard bite.
After breakfast, the townspeople gathered at the river, all wanting to see how Snow was going to cast his net on the ice-covered river. If Snow fails, they will have to eat boiled bark for lunch.
Randolph and Abra led the men to sort out their tools and nets on the ice by the river, and at Snow's request, they interspersed the rope around the edge of the net and fastened it to one end of the pole. After Abra fastened the fork to the lever, he applied a thin layer of yellow dye.
At this time, Snow, the main character, is bending over and walking on the ice. In front of the previously selected medium water, the location of the access hole was chosen. Then, according to the drawings drawn before, mark the position of the mesh hole. Next, the sturdy guards began to pick up the iron drill to dig the hole, although the ice was very thick, but fortunately, the area of the hole did not need to be too large. After several people took turns to chisel non-stop, the net in and out of the net was quickly completed. Later, according to Snow's request, more than a dozen pole holes were dug between the two holes.
Looking at the ice cave in front of him, which was less than five feet wide, the big guy couldn't figure out how Snow was going to spread the net.
"Alright, let's get started." Snow clapped his hands, and he was a little nervous in his heart, if he couldn't catch a fish in this net, he would lose his face to his grandmother's house. Moreover, his prestige in the town will be reduced to the extreme, and it will be difficult to carry out the work in the future.
Under Snow's command, the crowd sent a large fishing net with several lead rope rods vertically into the hole. Because the end of the rope pole is tied with a stone and the front part is tied with driftwood, the rope pole is in a vertical state after entering the water.
The next thing to do is to work with the technology. You need to thread the lever through the lever hole near the water, and then rely on the fork to pull the rope lever in all directions.
The paddle is made of fir wood and has good buoyancy. In addition, the rod is coated with yellow dye, and the direction of the lever can be clearly seen through the ice. Under Snow's guidance, Abra and the others controlled the lever and slowly pulled the lead rope rod to completely unfold the net under the ice.
In the beginning, the big guy's movements were very rusty, and many times the fork not only failed to hook the lead rope rod, but instead hooked the fishing net, and failed several times. But after a few people slowly groped, they gradually mastered the trick. After two hours of stirring, the net finally moved slowly above the designated water.
"Untie the rod." Snow took a deep breath and gave the order.
Through the pole hole, several people pulled the lead wood out of the water. Together, the scattered nets were sent into the water, and a huge net began to close rapidly under the ice. Because all this was done under the ice, except for a few people who were involved in it with a slight frown in their hearts, the inhabitants of the river were still confused. They only saw a dozen people, under the guidance of Snow's dancing hands, punching rat holes in the ice and sending wooden poles into the water. Then they toddled and backed, not knowing why they were doing it.
At this time, before exiting the net, Abra and several strong guards were pulling the middle of the net, waiting for Snow's order to pull the net out of the ice.
The most exciting time of winter's netting is coming, and if Snow miscalculates, then the ten days of hard work will be in vain.
"Cheng Cheng Cheng is not successful, take a look!" Snow secretly cheered himself up in his heart, his nervous mood and busy work for a long time, Snow, who stood on the ice facing the cold wind, was sweating.
Pulling his collar slightly, Snow took a deep breath, estimated that the fishing net had fallen to the bottom of the river, and waved his hand and shouted: "Pick up the net!" ”
The crowd of Abrass waited for this moment, tugging on the ropes of the nets, shouting trumpets, and began to retreat. As Abra and the others retreated, the nets were dragged out of the net hole section by section.
Snow and Randolph stood at the front of the crowd, their eyes glued to the nets.
At the beginning of the period, the upper part of the net was empty, which is normal. But until the net was halfway pulled out, there was still no trace of fish, and Randolph and the others began to feel a little cold.
"Go help!" Snow ran towards Abela with some excitement on his face, because he saw the people pulling the net, their feet becoming more and more difficult, and their bodies were leaning back almost parallel to the ice. This shows that the nets in the water are very heavy, and it will never be so difficult to pull an empty net. There's something in the net, and it's heavy.
Randolph is the best at fishing, and when he looks at the performance of Abra and others, he knows that there is a play. Hurriedly led people to Abra and them, and made a concerted effort to go out. As Snow and the others joined, the nets kept spitting out of the holes.
"Fish! There are fish! One of the residents standing at the front of the line suddenly widened his eyes and shouted affectionately and excitedly.
Snow and the others also hurriedly looked forward, only to see that in the last third of the fishing net, large fish were gently flapping their tails in the fishing net.
"Everybody keep pulling!" Snow shouted excitedly.
Everyone quickly pulled out all the fishing nets as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Plump large fish almost fill the middle and lower parts of the net, carp, grass carp, crucian carp...... There are hundreds of large fish of all kinds.
"Oh my God......" Abra looked at the fish in front of him, swallowed his saliva, turned his head like a fool to look at Snow beside him, and muttered, "How can I eat so many fish?" ”
"What kind of mess, you still want to eat alone?" Snow slapped him happily, how could he not be happy if he had obtained such a big harvest through his own methods.
Seeing Snow's reaction, the residents on the shore also ran over. Looking at the fish in the nets, everyone was stunned.
"Why are you staying? Hurry up and clean up, and the fish will be frozen in a few moments. It was still Randolph who lived a long life and was well-informed, and he came back to his senses and greeted with a smile on his face.
The big guys cheered and busied, and everyone hugged Snow back to the shore with two or three big fish in their arms.
After the fish were put away, everyone looked at Snow. The adoration and respect in his eyes were even more blazing than the sun in the sky, and except for the dozens of people who had personally participated in the netting and fishing, no one could figure out how Snow did it. With a few tiny holes, how is it possible to catch so many fish.
"Mayor, you must be a messenger sent by God to save us." One resident suddenly fell to his knees.
He was like the first dominoes, and under his leadership, everyone fell to their knees.
In this era, things that people don't understand will take the initiative to turn them into magic and gods. Now everyone is suspecting that the ice hole that Snow made people make on the ice is simply a magic array. Relying on this magic array, the fish will take the initiative to come to the net.
Looking at the residents kneeling down in front of him, Snow couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It turns out that becoming a messenger of the gods is so simple, and it seems that he has the potential to be an envoy of the gods.
