Chapter 237: Beginning to Dig Ice
Not to mention that there is still an estrangement between her and the lady of the Guogong Mansion, even if there is no estrangement, imagine that with the temperament of these ladies and wives, the favorite thing is to enjoy the plum blossoms in the snow, sing poems and paint, chat, listen to dramas or something
As for icebreaker fishing, there should be little interest
Gu Xinyu called Xiaotian and whispered a few words to him, and then Gu Xiaotian rode out of the courtyard on a jujube red horse
The time of the night passed quickly, and after Xiaotian came back from the Guogong Mansion last night, he told Gu Xinyu that the Zhenguo Grandpa and the Hou Ye would wait for them at the city gate, because the Si Nong Shilang Mansion and the Guogong Mansion were not the same way to the city gate.
Gu Xinyu felt that this was just right, and these people met at the gate of the city
She walked out of the room, and was surprised to find that the three children had already packed up their money, and even the tools they had prepared, although some of them were nondescript
Gu Xinyu's mood got better in an instant because of the preparation of these children, and she was very happy in her heart, because this winter was too boring
Especially after Zhou Muhan left, it was really boring, although there are so many things to do, but not every day to do it, here, Gu Xinyu doesn't like to listen to dramas, those babbling drama books, turning over and over are all scholars, miss, private meetings under the moon or something, very, very boring
For a modern person who has lived in a colorful and colorful world for decades, these ancient people's entertainment. It's really not enough to see, it's just boring to the extreme.
So Gu Xinyu, who was infected, also became excited, Gu Xinyu quickly finished eating, and after tidying himself up, he took a few little girls who were also excited, Changle and Linlang, got into the carriage, and soon came to the city gate
At the gate of Herong Chen's city, Grandpa Guo and Hou Ye were waiting for these people there
Grandpa Guo was old and strong, and instead of riding in a carriage, he wore a black fur cloak. Sit firmly on the horse.
I saw Gu Xinyu open the curtain of the carriage. Grandpa Guo said with a smile: "Eldest grandson and daughter-in-law, you are really timely rain, I don't know what to do these days?" I was also very depressed, I didn't expect you to come up with such a fun thing. And. I don't understand either. Aren't the fish under the ice already frozen? Where are we going to catch fish? ”
Gu Xinyu saw that there were already a lot of people coming and going at this city gate, so he said to Grandpa Guo: "Grandfather, don't worry. The mountain people have their own tricks, and when you get to the place, you'll know what's going on."
Grandpa Guo has a straightforward temperament, and when he heard Gu Xinyu say this, he was not talking nonsense, but pulling the reins of the horse, and shouted a few times in his mouth, and the horse under his crotch neighed violently, and then raised his front hooves and took the lead towards Taoyuan Villa
Soon, these people arrived at Taoyuan Villa, entered the courtyard, tidied up a little, took some tools for breaking ice and fishing, took the guards of the villa, and galloped towards the wide river south of the villa.
Although it is winter now, there is also a different scenery, the faint blue sky, the pavilion birch, and the snow on the larch, and even those sparrows flying in the mountains and forests, chirping all bring a touch of vivid color to this icy and snowy land
The white snow splashed from the horse's hooves, like a puff of white smoke, filled this mighty team with a little fairy energy.
Soon they arrived at the bank of the river, and sure enough, it was just as everyone imagined, covered with thick snow, except for some animal footprints, not even human footprints, and it was. What do these people do on the river in the winter?
And on the other side of the river is a barren land, there is nothing, it is better to turn into the mountains and forests, you can't catch prey, and you can also pick up some firewood to warm up your home.
So there are no footprints of anyone here at all, Gu Xinyu recalled a program he watched in modern times, and carefully recalled their way of breaking the ice
Then these people came to the middle of the river, and did not act, Gu Xinyu and Grandpa Guo talked seriously.
She told Grandpa Guo: "Grandfather, do you know how deep this river is? ”
Grandpa Guo stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have been here in this river in summer, it should be more than 20 meters deep!" ”
Gu Xinyu nodded, and said to Gu Xinyu with a smile: "Grandfather, do you know? At this temperature in our north, the normal frozen layer is only three to five meters, and the remaining ten meters are flowing river water, where fish also live in winter, but it is a little cold."
Grandpa Guo still asked Gu Xinyu in disbelief: "It's already ice water down here, isn't this fish going to be frozen to death?" ”
Gu Xinyu shook his head and told Grandpa Guo that the flowing water, as long as it does not freeze, is actually not low, and it is just suitable for the survival of cold-water fish, these fish will not swim to other places in winter, they still live in the deepest part of the water, but everyone has not found it
Gu Xinyu raised her head, the sun rose at this time, a little dazzling, she squinted her eyes and said to Grandpa Guo: "Let's not tell anyone else about this matter, otherwise there will be people digging ice everywhere, and it won't be fun."
Of course, Grandpa Guo agreed, the old man was a domineering person, and such a proposal was also very much his appetite.
And laughed and said: "Of course we can't tell anyone else, such a fun thing, we have to play by ourselves, not with others!" ”
The others laughed as well.
At this time, several children had already had a snowball fight on the snow at this time, Wangcai and Shuangxi were especially excited, and no one had played with the two of them for a long time
And a few little girls just stood aside and watched with a grin
And Grandpa Guo and Hou Ye pointed at the mountains and forests in the distance from time to time, discussing something in a low voice.
Gu Xinyu brought a few guards, all of them were young and strong young men, they stood on top of a piece of snow that Gu Xinyu said, first cleaned up the snow around them, and then quickly exposed the ice, a few young men were very happy, and began to carefully chisel with tools.
Gu Xinyu asked them to pay attention to safety while watching them chisel, although such a frozen layer is actually very safe, because it can bear the weight of more than a dozen carriages, so for these people, it is simply a drop in the bucket for him, but because it is the first time to do such a thing, safety comes first.
If something really happens, it's really too late to regret it, so Gu Xinyu is also a little nervous, playing is playing, but safety is still the most important thing (to be continued.) )
