Chapter 160: Hair
I thought we were just fishing on the shore, but Francis turned out to be a fishing enthusiast and took out an inflatable boat from the RV, which said that if we wanted to have fun, they had to take Elena and me to the center of the lake to fish.
When Elena heard that she was going to go fishing in the lake, she said that she would not go, I secretly asked her why, she actually told me that she was afraid of water, there was no way, I had to let her go back to the RV to chat with Anna, otherwise Anna had no one around to take care of her, and Francis was uncomfortable playing.
In this way, Francis and I carried the inflatable boat to the lake, the weather today is exceptionally good, the sky in the distance is blue and cloudless, the lake is calm, the breeze is very comfortable on the cheeks, such good weather is very rare, because the United States is about to enter the typhoon season!
In the distance, there was another small boat on the lake in addition to our inflatable boat, which seemed to be a family of three, not purely for fishing, but more for enjoying the time with his family, only the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was excitedly waving his fishing rod.
"Meng, the task of rowing is up to you for the time being, first row the boat to the middle of the lake." Francis laughed.
"Why am I here to row?" I complained, who wants to do such a hard job as rowing.
"I can also row, so do you know how to get fishing tools? When you paddled to the middle of the lake, I installed all the fishing gear. "Francis's seems to make a lot of sense.
"Okay." I pouted.
It was a lot of hard work, and I had never rowed before, so it was hard to steer the way, but I was able to find my way and the boat slowly headed towards the middle of the lake.
After about ten minutes, I looked back at the direction of the shore, and we were about four or five hundred meters away from the shore, at which point Francis motioned that I could not row, I shook my arm a little sore, and when I went back, let Francis do the rowing, it was really tiring.
"Meng, this fishing rod is for you, will you use it?" Francis handed me a rod that had been installed, and although I had never fished before, I had seen it on TV and knew how to use it.
"No problem, I haven't played it, but I know how to use it." Most of the domestic fishing methods are with a hand rod, that is, there is no wheel to bring a fish float, but in foreign countries, almost all of them are lure rods with wheels, and the bait is a bionic fake bait, how to use it I understood after Francis demonstrated it to me a few times.
After throwing a few rods, I didn't expect that I still really have a talent for fishing, and immediately caught a big fish weighing three or four pounds, as for what species I don't know, but the process of fishing can be described as really exciting, I seem to gradually like the outdoor sport of fishing.
For a whole afternoon, Francis and I have been fishing tirelessly, the two of us have dropped a dozen fish, each has three or five pounds, the largest one can have about ten pounds, but we caught so many fish, we only left one, the rest were all released, Francis said this is called the trade-off, love the environment. No wonder the ecological environment in foreign countries is so good, because everyone will cherish nature and the living environment.
The sun was about to set, and the sky was covered with orange-red fiery clouds, and flocks of birds were flying in the sky.
"Francis, let's go back." I said.
"No problem, wait until I'm on the last shot." Francis threw the bait out of his hand and fell into the water more than forty meters away, and then Francis began to shake the fishing boat rhythmically.
Suddenly, Francis exclaimed excitedly, "Ha, lo and behold, I'm caught again." ”
I'm past the excitement of fishing, and I think to myself, I'll have to put the fish back when I catch it, so I'm not so happy?
"Oh my God, it's a big fish, Meng, come and help me, I'm a little overwhelmed." Francis screamed.
I hurried over and helped hold the rod, and there was a very amazing pull on the rod, and the fish was probably not small, even the two of us could barely pull the fish, and our boat was being carried farther and farther away by the fish.
"This fish must weigh hundreds of pounds, God, I've never caught such a big fish, I'm going to take a picture later." Francis screamed excitedly.
With a "whoosh", the line broke, and our boat was almost overturned by the reaction force.
"Fack, damn it, unhooked, let it run." Francis shook the fishing wheel in frustration, intending to retract the line.
When the line was gradually retracted, Francis and I were surprised to find that there was a lump of black aquatic weeds hanging from the hook, and we didn't pay attention at first, but when Francis was about to get the aquatic weeds off the hook, he suddenly screamed.
"Meng, this is not a water weed, this is a ...... A clump of hair? Francis said in shock.
When I heard Francis's words, I was really surprised, and when I looked closely, it was indeed a very long clump of hair, and it seemed to have a piece attached to it at the other end.
"Meng, hurry up and draw back, I want to notify the police as soon as possible, I'm afraid there has been a homicide in this lake." Francis said with a solemn expression, because we had put important items such as phones in the RV before we got on the boat, so Francis wanted to go ashore as soon as possible to notify the police.
"That's a piece of scalp?" I finally saw what was at the other end of my hair, it was a piece of scalp the size of half a palm, could it be that Francis's hook was hooked directly into the hair of a dead corpse? Then we thought the fish had hit the fish and pulled it upwards so hard that we ended up dragging off a large chunk of the corpse's scalp along with the hair?
"Yes, quick, let's go back." Francis said and began to paddle back.
At this time, we were seven or eight hundred meters away from the shore, no, when I was fishing just now, I obviously felt something pulling the hook, dragging us more than 100 meters away, what is it?
I quickly realized that something was wrong, the dead body could not have such a great force underwater, even if there was an undercurrent underwater, it was impossible to drag us more than a hundred meters away, because when I helped hold the fishing rod just now, I could clearly feel that the thing under the water was constantly changing direction, and that thing was definitely alive.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that something had been following behind our boat, and I don't know if it was my delusion, I suddenly turned around, and finally I saw something shuddering, and a layer of goosebumps on my body followed, and my scalp was numb.
