Chapter 5 Strange Fishing Methods
I don't believe Uncle Garu's explanation, spirits can communicate with humans, I have confirmed this, but spirits can act on humans, it is absolutely impossible, can you use an air hammer to knock people? Maybe it's really like what the fat brother said, it was indeed done by someone on purpose, or maybe it was done by some kind of mountain beast, and the people who disappeared before may have been eaten by the beast, and the found corpse should have not had time to eat it.
In any case, the unicorn and his assistants around us must be more fierce than the beasts, and I hope that they only hunt for money, and will not harm people's lives, so that at least they can protect us in any danger.
It didn't take long for the one-horned assistant to dig out the boat, which was made of wood and looked sturdy, although the river was a little damp, and many parts of the hull were blackened, but there was no sign of decay at all.
There were no oars on board, and a motor was installed at the end of the hull, and when the lid of the motor was opened, we could see that it was full of diesel.
Everyone worked together to push the boat down the river, and the unicorn held the stern of the boat to balance the boat as much as possible, and we jumped into the wooden boat one by one, and the unicorn finally got on the boat.
There is a rope on the motor with a plastic ring attached. The unicorn assistant pulled hard three times, but to no avail.
The unicorn pushed him away and walked over, and in a single moment, he pulled the motor on, making a sound of three collapses.
I gave a thumbs up gesture to the unicorn and praised him for being amazing.
Unicorn nodded and smiled at me, then looked at Uncle Garu again.
Under the command of Uncle Garu, our ship moved slowly and smoothly. It's really a bit of a feeling of swimming in the lake, the beautiful scenery on both sides, the gentle river in the middle, and the sparkling ripples behind the cruise ship.
We were all in a good mood, sitting in the boat, talking and laughing, and watching the scenery in the water.
Jiang Li sat on the edge of the boat and put his hand into the water to play. Uncle Galu reminded her that there were big fish in the water, so be careful of being bitten, but Jiang Li said that he was loved by animals and would not be bitten.
The fat brother patted the one-horned assistant on the shoulder and said, "King Silver Horn, you are still too tender, look at your master, King Golden Horn, you can pull it at once." That's arm strength and speed, like me. Then he gestured with his hand to pull the motor.
I don't know if the one-horned assistant understands it, but he just smiled and nodded.
Really give that motor to the fat brother, I guess he is not as good as the silver horn, look at the bow hanging behind the unicorn, it is not something that ordinary people with arm strength can use, and then think about the scene of the fat brother pulling the bow on the small stall in the forest park, it is not a level at all.
But the nickname of the fat brother is quite creative, and the golden horn and silver horn are also easier to call, and indeed we still don't know their real names, and I guess Su Rina doesn't know either.
The river flowed down the valley, and our boat went upstream, going upstream in the direction from which the river came. Our group was idle, only Uncle Galu pointed the direction, and the golden and silver horns changed shifts to control the motors at the stern of the ship to grasp the direction of the ship.
There are obviously more trees on both sides of the valley than on the outside, and small patches of forest can be seen. There are also more boulders along the river, and unlike before, which are all rubble, these boulders must have been washed down by the current during the heavy rain. The water of the river is very clear, and you can see all kinds of fish in it, so many that you can count them, but all you see are small fish, the largest is not more than the palm of your hand, and the big fish should be in a deeper place.
After all, our boat is an old-fashioned motor, don't look at it is diesel, and the strength is not very large, so the boat is not fast at the highest speed, and it didn't take long for everyone to show a tired look, not as excited as when they first got on the boat, how could they only sit in the boat, not lie down, and soon I felt back pain.
I looked at the time on my phone, and at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, I said to Uncle Garu: "Uncle, let's find a shore to lean on, I see that everyone is tired when I get up so early in the morning." ”
As soon as I said this, several people around me smiled, and it seemed that they were the same as I thought, and now they need to rest.
Uncle Galu nodded, pointed to a big stone a hundred meters ahead, and said a Mongolian language to the silver horn who was at the helm.
Silverhorn nodded, and our ship picked up a slight speed before heading in the direction of the big rock.
The urgency of the river is completely divided according to the drop of the terrain, the flow of the river is calm when it encounters a flat river, and the water flow is very rapid when it encounters a river with a large drop, and our boat is sometimes stable and sometimes shaking along the way. The big rock we docked was exactly a dividing line, and further on, the water became very rapid.
When the boat was out of steam, the group jumped ashore, and Uncle Garu and Golden Horn cooperated to turn the hull of the boat, and then tied the big stone with a rope in the bow of the boat, so that our boat would not be washed away by the water.
After getting off the boat, everyone took off their equipment, put it on the rocks on the shore, and moved their arms and legs.
While twisting my waist, I asked Uncle Galu, "How can we solve it for lunch?" ”
Uncle Garu said, "Don't worry, leave it to me, you make a fire." ”
Yan Qiu and Su Rina took the initiative to ask to go to the forest on the shore to collect firewood together.
We continued to rest on the shore while watching how Uncle Galu solved the lunch problem.
Uncle Galu pulled out a small roll of fishing line from his pocket, and at one end of the line hung a hook, which had no bait on it, but a kind of aquatic decoration made of rubber.
Uncle Galu shook the fishing line out three or four meters, then grabbed the line ball with one hand, pinched the fishing line with the other, spun the hook above his head, and after throwing it around, he threw it forward, and the hook decorated with fake bait was thrown behind a large rock, into a small whirlpool of water.
The fake lure made of rubber really looked like a real fish when washed by the river, flying up and down and swimming against the current.
Then Uncle Galu turned around, turned his back to the river, let the line go over his shoulder, and held the end of the line in his hand, slowly recovering it.
It's the first time I've seen such a strange way of fishing, so I asked Uncle Garu, "What kind of strange fishing method are you?" Is this how all Mongolia fishes? I'll see you for the first time. ”
Uncle Galu said with a smile: "This fishing method is my own creation, it is evolved from the fly fishing method, but I don't use a fishing rod, the fishing rod is very expensive, and it is not convenient to carry, so I use my fingers to feel whether the fishing line has caught any fish." ”
After saying that, his fishing line was also retracted, and he repeated the previous action, throwing it out and reeling it with his back to the river.
I don't know how to fish, but I've heard of fly fishing, but I have heard of it, and I don't know the specific method, and I can't see the difference between his fishing method and fly fishing.
The fat brother nodded and said, "It's really like fly fishing, constantly throwing hooks and reeling lines, I heard that fly fishing in the rapids is very effective." But why should you turn your back to the river? ”
"We are used to fishing in the river, because if we have fish behind us, we will attract the beasts in the forest, and they will run over and attack the anglers, so we must turn our backs to the river and always pay attention to whether there is any danger behind us." ”
It sounds like this is indeed the case, like living in our city, even if it is fishing, it is also a park, reservoir and other places, in addition to preventing tourists from disturbing the fish to take the bait, there is no danger of being attacked at all, so naturally I don't understand Uncle Galu's fishing method.
The fat brother smiled and said: "Jiang Taigong is fishing with a straight hook, you are fishing with your back to the river, fishing without a rod, it's comparable." ”
Uncle Galu probably didn't know who Jiang Taigong was, and was about to ask, when he suddenly paused, quickly turned around to face the river, and began to slow down the speed of reeling.
In a few seconds, we could see that Uncle Galu had actually caught a big fish swimming on the surface of the river.
Uncle Galu was not in a hurry to reel in the line, but stopped for a while, and waited for the fish to be completely tired, and then accelerated the speed of reeling.
When the line brought the fish to shore, Fat Brother and I ran over and picked up the fish.
Not far away, the unicorn followed my example and gave a thumbs up to Uncle Garu. The connoisseur must have seen the way, and his action affirmed the professionalism of Uncle Galu's skills.
Look at the fish that is sixty centimeters long, and how can it weigh fifteen catties. It looks like a big carp, but the fins on its body are beautiful, like sails, and the whole fish looks very energetic.
The fat brother and I cheered happily, unable to hide the excitement of getting the prey for the first time, of course, we were completely soy sauce.
The fat brother asked Uncle Galu, "What kind of fish is this?" ”
Uncle Galu said, "This fish is called grayling, and we have a lot of them in this river, and it is not unusual, this one is small, and there are many bigger ones than this." ”
It is estimated that the fried grayling I saw in the hotel restaurant before was made from this fish.
The cheers of our two brought Yan Qiu and Su Rina back, and they said that they had found a dead tree, so they came back with a lot of firewood.
Uncle Garu continued to fish, and we got together and piled the smaller branches together, and I took out my lighter and began to light the wood, but there was no paper to point it directly, so I couldn't light it.
So everyone began to look for paper everywhere, and just as they were looking for it, Yan Qiu suddenly stared at the bushes on the other side of the river, as if she had seen something terrifying, and she couldn't speak.
