Chapter 219
It was Chu Huaiqin's first time casting a fishing net. He imitated the movements of the fishermen on TV, first adjusting the net, stabilizing his body with his front and back feet, and his solid horse stance looked very professional.
"It's started." Chu Huaiqin was a little nervous, looking at the water as if facing a great enemy.
"Brother, come on." Lin Zhinan's fishing rod was already in the water, and he was cheering Chu Huaiqin with his fishing rod in hand.
The people in the live broadcast room burst into laughter at Chu Huaiqin's appearance. It was the first time they saw their brother so nervous that his muscles tensed up.
“Swish!”
The small net was thrown out, bloomed in the air, and then fell into the water, making a splash.
"Very beautiful." Chu Huaiqin nodded, very satisfied.
"Brother, we're a group now." Lin Zhinan said calmly, standing aside.
Chu Huaiqin looked carefully and saw that the nets were piled up in a ball floating on the water.
"Maybe it can't spill!" Chu Huaiqin thought with a frown, pulling the net up again. This time, Chu Huaiqin didn't spill it. He spread it out and worked it down bit by bit, but in doing so, Chu Huaiqin's gloves and sleeves got wet.
Chu Huaiqin shook his hands and didn't care much.
"Brother, how long will it take us to set up the net?" Lin Zhinan asked curiously.
Chu Huaiqin froze, thought for a moment, and said, "An hour?"
"So fast? At least two hours!" Lin Zhinan didn't understand this, but he always felt something was wrong. Is it so fast?
"Oh my god, I thought the North Pole would be my brother's home turf, but I didn't expect that. Hahaha, my brother's confused look is so charming."
"The fastest is four hours, the latest is overnight! Oh my god, I'm so worried he'll just take up the net in two hours and all the work will be in vain!"
"It's okay. Everyone has tried it before. Even if you don't catch any fish after two hours of fishing, you can just cast the net again when the time comes."
"It's already two o'clock in the afternoon. In two hours it will be four o'clock. If I log off the internet again, it will be evening."
"Well, earlier, didn't you forget that there is no night in the Arctic?"
“…”
It’s not that there is no night in the Arctic, but that there are only 191 days of daylight and 174 nights of darkness in a year. This is very extreme, so Anthony said that there is no night in the Arctic in spring and summer.
Fishing is lonely and cold. Chu Huaiqin and Lin Zhinan stayed there shivering, sitting in the boat with two fishing rods, staring at the lake in a daze. Lin Zhinan once said, "Taigong fishes, and only those who are willing will take the bait." Obviously, the fish here are unwilling to take the bait.
The live broadcast room is also anxious
"Don't be cold out here. Just leave the net here. We'll be able to retrieve it in four hours."
"Oh my God, my dear brother, your character has collapsed. You are the omnipotent character!"
"Someone come and save this child, stupid, so stupid."
"Zhinan, I'm thinking that if we are here, the fish may not swim over. Let's go back and help clean up the house first, and then come back to collect the nets later!" Chu Huaiqin's face was frozen.
"What about the fish and the fishing net? Will it float away?" Lin Zhinan was quite worried about this.
Chu Huaiqin also thought this was a problem. He tried hard to recall the fishing scenes on TV, but found that it never mentioned whether the net would drift away. However, he remembered that the fishermen would go back to eat after casting the net, so it should not drift away.
"No." Chu Huaiqin confirmed.
"Then let's go back!" Lin Zhinan put away his fishing rod.
The fish hook that was pulled out was indeed bare. The fish here are really smart.
The two of them paddled the boat back with great effort. The cars of the BC and BC teams finally repaired the snowmobiles and drove over with the boats.
"Chu, you're going back so soon?" Wade asked in surprise.
"Well, let's go back and dig two worms." Chu Huaiqin responded, got off the boat, tied it somewhere, and went back with only two things.
"Ahhh, why don't you take the fishing rod? What if someone takes it away?"
"Don't worry, regardless of whether these people will take it or not, even if they do, I can get it back."
Only then did everyone remember that the brother’s fighting power was the ceiling here!
Chu Huaiqin returned to the camp, put his things away, and asked Lin Zhinan to find a place to boil water. He rode his tricycle to find Xia En and the others. The first thing he saw was the little monk dragging ice bricks towards him. Just like the article "The Migrant Worker" that Chu Huaiqin learned in elementary school, he was pulling with great effort.
"Brother, brother, why are you here?" The little monk was very happy to see Chu Huaiqin riding a tricycle. "We haven't laid the ice bed yet!"
"What ice bed?" Chu Huaiqin came to the little monk and braked directly with his foot. His action was very handsome.
"Just sleep on an ice bed!" The little monk chattered and told Chu Huaiqin what they had discussed.
Chu Huaiqin frowned and thought, this is also a way out.
"You continue to drag, I'll go to help." Chu Huaiqin rode away on the tricycle.
When they arrived at the ice rink, Edward was muttering something while cutting ice. Xia En was pulling up the ice bricks with a frown on his face, his veins bulging slightly, and his eyes were full of murderous intent when he occasionally glanced at Edward.
"Xia Entang." Chu Huaiqin braked and shouted.
Xia En turned his head, his gloomy expression finally clearing up. A smile crossed his eyes, and he threw away the ice shovel in his hand. "Why are you here? Did you have a good time fishing?"
"There's no bait, so we can't fish. The net has been lowered, we'll collect it later." Chu Huaiqin responded, walked to the ice hole, picked up the ice shovel, and pulled up the ice bricks cut by Ice Edward.
"Oh, then we'll have to go in four hours." Xia En said, helping to pick up the ice and put it on the tricycle.
"Wow, Chu, you're amazing. With a car, we don't have to pull two by two." Edward's eyes lit up. "We can build an igloo right now."
"No, let's do what you discussed earlier. First, lay down a layer of ice to sleep on, and then build a small igloo of ten square meters." Chu Huaiqin thought this method was quite good. Ten square meters was enough for three tents.
With the tricycles, Group A was invincible in transporting ice. When the other groups saw this, they ran out to find their teammates. However, theirs were snowmobiles, which did not have a small open-air rear compartment like the tricycles.
The ice bed didn't require much ice, so it was quickly laid. Chu Huaiqin and Lin Zhinan set up the tent and laid a thick blanket inside. Chu Huaiqin asked Lin Zhinan to lie down inside to test the temperature while he found a spot nearby and started digging a hole. He discovered that, apart from the surface, there was nothing he could dig underneath.
Chu Huaiqin thought, if he tried any harder, he'd end up digging out a huge ocean, which would be troublesome, so he stopped. He used something to mark out a ten-square-meter square, but that was too small, so he drew a fifteen-square-meter square, which was great.
"Brother, it's warm, not cold." Lin Zhinan ran out and said excitedly: "Brother, we don't need the ice house anymore, we can just sleep like this."
"No," Chu Huaiqin said, walking around the square base line. "It's okay if the wind is light now, but it will be troublesome if the wind is strong. What's more, it's summer now. Although it rarely snows in the Arctic, it's summer now and there's a possibility of snow due to the influence of thermal air currents."
This igloo had to be built just in case.
Lin Zhinan thought it was right.
"Hey, your idea is good." Paige and the others also cast the net back. Seeing the ice bed of Chu Huaiqin and the others, they nodded, turned around and ran away.
"He's worthy of being the man I've fallen for," Zoro said, nodding as he turned around on the ice bed in Group A. "Chu, what a pity! If it weren't for Xia, we'd be in the same group. It would be so great to be with you."
"You misunderstood. The idea of the ice bed was not mine, it was Xia Entang's." Chu Huaiqin said with a smile.
Zorro: That man is not cute at all, so annoying.
"Brother, brother," the little monk pedaled his tricycle and called from a distance, "I'm hungry."
Carrying ice is not easy, so it's no wonder you're hungry.
"I've drawn the line. Tell Xia Entropy to come back and build the igloo. Zhinan and I will go check out the fish," Chu Huaiqin said. He waved to Zorro and led Lin Zhinan to the beach. This time, without a snow bike, the walk was a bit slow. It took almost ten minutes to reach the beach.
The two rowed out in a small boat and arrived at the place where they cast the net according to their memory. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the fish marker floating on the net. Fortunately, it did not drift away.
"Brother, do you think there will be any fish?" Lin Zhinan was quite nervous.
"Maybe!" Chu Huaiqin didn't know for sure. He had seen polar bears hunting here before. Logically, there should be schools of fish here.
The boat rowed closer and picked up the fish marker. Chu Huaiqin asked Lin Zhinan to stay away so as not to get his clothes wet, and began to drag it up little by little. However, after a while, there was not a single fish.
Chu Huaiqin's calm temperament was a little depressed. He was quite looking forward to it, but he didn't expect to be poured a bucket of cold water at the beginning.
"Oh my God, my clothes are all wet."
"There's nothing I can do. My clothes absorb water, and I don't have latex clothes or latex shoes."
"Yeah, the production team is a bit too much. They let people fish when they don't have any of these things. Don't be too excessive."
"Ah, look, fish."
Many people in the live broadcast room expressed their anger, but after one person exclaimed that there was a fish, the others turned their attention to Chu Huaiqin, and sure enough, they saw a fish on the net that was pulled up, and the fish was struggling hard, slapping its tail with a "puff puff" sound.
"Zhinan, hurry, hurry, get the net bag." Chu Huaiqin shouted repeatedly when he saw the fish was about to fall.
"Brother, there's no net bag!" Lin Zhinan stamped his feet anxiously and simply lay down beside the boat, "Brother, pull it closer, I'll catch it with my hands."
Lin Zhinan lay on the boat, his clothes were all wet. He stretched out his hand and just touched the fish, but before he could catch it, "plop", the fish broke free from the net, fell into the water and escaped.
Chu Huaiqin/Lin Zhinan: "..."
I finally saw a fish, but it ran away.
"Brother!" Lin Zhinan was wet, and Chu Huaiqin was also wet by the fishing net. When the wind blew, he shivered with cold.
"It's okay, there must be more." Chu Huaiqin comforted, turned around and took a deep breath.
It seems that fishing is not easy, he needs to put in all his effort.
The handsome man stood in the glacier, with a solemn expression and cold eyes, like a martial arts master facing thousands of troops.
Live broadcast room: "..."
The martial arts master continued to pull the net, but to their disappointment, when the net was half pulled up, they still didn't see a single fish. For a moment, Chu Huaiqin even suspected that it was because they came too late and all the fish they caught had run away.
“Huh!”
Chu Huaiqin gently pulled the net and found it was very heavy.
"Big fish."
Chu Huaiqin's expression lit up as he pulled the net upwards. Lin Zhinan was also delighted, concentrating his attention, afraid of letting another fish escape. Hearing Chu Huaiqin say the net was heavy, the livestreamer perked up, thinking it must be a big fish.
Everyone tensed up, staring intently at the water. One second, two seconds, three seconds, it was coming...
A white, furry fish? A fish with claws?
“Ahhh!”
A large white head emerged from the water with a large fish in its mouth.
Oh shit, they caught a polar bear.
