However, Hong Tao was not discouraged. The cooperation between his body and brain was still very sensitive. After trying it back and forth a few times, he slowly found the matching point between his body, tension and skateboard, and Hong Tao's maiden skate finally appeared.
.
The feeling of stepping on a skateboard is really different from sitting on a speedboat. The water under your feet is moving backwards quickly. Although there is no wind, the high-speed airflow still makes Hong Tao feel like his face has been blown away. If
If I weren't wearing goggles, I probably wouldn't be able to open my eyes.
This time the maiden skate only lasted a few hundred meters because Hong Tao put forward higher requirements for himself and wanted to skate in a change of direction. As a result, the skateboard became a bit too much and his body went directly sideways. Then he felt like
It was a piece of stone thrown on the water surface when I was a child. It bounced on the water three times before I felt my body entering the water.
After more than an hour of practice, Hong Tao has almost mastered the entry-level skills of skateboarding, which means he can water ski normally. However, the change of direction is still not good, and he can only change the direction bit by bit.
You can't row directly from the back of the speedboat to the side and rear of the speedboat like Irene did.
"No, I can't row anymore. That's it for today. My arms are weak." When the speedboat returned to the dock again, Hong Tao stopped sliding. Playing this thing requires a lot of upper arm strength, and many movements have to be done.
Rely on the extension and contraction of the upper arms to control the body.
"Well, you have made great progress. It took me a summer vacation to learn it." Irene didn't know whether it was to encourage Hong Tao or to tell the truth. Anyway, Hong Tao felt that if he learned water skiing in a summer vacation, it would be great.
It's not a difficult task. If he practices every day, Hong Tao thinks he can skate like Irene in a week.
The first day after arriving at Qiandao Lake was spent in free activities. Although I spent most of the day in the car, due to the special condition of the car and the fact that the environment here at Qiandao Lake was really pleasant, I didn’t feel it at all.
The fatigue from the trip took him until after 10 o'clock to go to bed, except for Hong Tao. He practiced wakeboarding a little too hard. At first, his arms only felt a little sore, but when he came up the next morning, he added
The word "pain" means "ache"!
Since we had already made an appointment to go fishing, we had to be careful not to get out of the line of fire. There were a lot of people anyway. Not having to worry about no one to work with, Hong Tao hung his arms and followed everyone on the small yacht arranged by the fat boss.
Since we didn’t know which old fisherman was going to take us fishing, we loaded all the equipment we could use on the boat, including various camping facilities. The two RVs here have lost their use, and most of the shore
There are no roads on either side, so even an all-terrain off-road RV cannot travel unless it can fly.
"I'll take you to a fish nest, and I'm sure you can catch good fish." The old fisherman surnamed Li stood in the cockpit, directing the resort employees who were driving the boat, while chatting with Hong Tao.
"That's a good feeling, but how do you know that there is a fish nest down there?" Hong Tao was very happy and put a pack of Yunyan in the hand of the old fisherman, wanting to ask more clearly. Local fishermen like this, who were born and raised in the area, caught most of their fish.
All their lives, their minds have been filled with topographic maps of this water area. They basically know clearly where the fish passages are and where there are no fish. If they can learn a little bit from their experience, they will also have a good understanding of Hong Tao's fishing skills.
Great help.
"Hehehehe...well...it's hard to say..." Old Man Li hesitated a little, rubbing the cigarette case in his hand with both hands. He also glanced at the employees of the resort where the boat was sailing from time to time.
"It's a bit boring here. Let's go out on the deck to catch the wind." Hong Tao looked at the old man's eyes and understood that the old fisherman was a little worried about the young man driving the boat. As for why, Hong Tao could figure out a rough idea, like
They live on water
The fishermen, where there are more fish and where there are less fish should be regarded as industry secrets. They told Hong Tao that they had no psychological burden because Hong Tao was a foreigner and could not steal their jobs. The young man driving the boat was probably a local, so the old man did not
Very willing to talk.
"Old man, I am 64 years old this year. The village I lived in when I was a child was under this reservoir. In front of our village was the Xin'an River. My ancestors made a living by fishing in the river for several generations." Old Man Li came to the deck and started chatting immediately.
Fully charged, take the flood
Tao handed over the cigarette lighter and started talking immediately. The pack of cigarettes that Hong Tao had just thrust into his pocket had already been in his pocket. It was not that he was seeking a small gain, but that he was unwilling to smoke such expensive cigarettes and probably wanted to take them back.
Put it away at home and take it out again during holidays and festivals when you need someone to run errands.
"Back then, there was a cave near our village. It was huge inside, several miles long. I don't know where it was connected. There was also a river in the cave, probably connected to the river. There were often schools of fish in it. Since it was first built in 1959
Our village was flooded by the reservoir, and all the original villagers moved to places dozens of miles away. But old man, I haven’t been able to farm since I was a child, so I didn’t leave. I relied on the government to take care of me.
We built two thatched houses by the water and continued fishing." Old Man Li started chatting endlessly. He talked for a long time and still didn't get to the point that Hong Tao wanted to hear. However, Hong Tao didn't say anything to urge him. For an old man like this,
, once they talk about the past, they will inevitably bring out some personal things. This is their life experience, and they are willing to share it with others. Whether it is out of politeness or patience, they will not lose anything if they listen to a few more words.
"The reservoir had just been built at that time, and the water was deep and large. It was difficult to catch fish. Sometimes I couldn't catch a few fish in a day. I was really at my wits' end, and suddenly I remembered the cave next to the village, so I went there
I want to try my luck, what do you think will happen if I go?" At the critical moment, Old Man Li stopped talking again. Eighty percent of people are like this. They always like to ask questions back to others when talking about critical moments.
"Have you encountered a school of fish?" Hong Tao immediately added this sentence according to the rules of chatting, so that the chatter can feel comfortable.
"No, I searched for a whole day and finally found the location of the original village. As soon as I put the hook down, there were fish biting the hook. There were all kinds of fish. From then on, that place became my job.
No matter what kind of fish you want, as long as it exists in this reservoir, you can find it anywhere, but they come out at different times." Old Man Li finally finished.
"Don't worry, we are just fishing for fun. We will leave after two days. I promise not to gossip about you." Hong Tao knows what this old fisherman is most afraid of. He is not afraid of how many fish you catch. The water here is
With a radius of several hundred square kilometers and a water depth of hundreds of meters, it connects two rivers. In a sense,
He said that as long as the water source is not destroyed, there are endless fish, so he is not afraid of you fishing, but he is afraid that this fish nest will be known to other locals. In this way, everyone will come here to fish, and there will be a few unscrupulous people.
Anyone who uses electricity, explosives or poison to harm fish will lose his job.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You city people just like to play with these fishy things. You said this fish can play with anything. It would be great to sit in an air-conditioned room and wait for food." After hearing Hong Tao's assurance, Old Man Li said
Not afraid, I finally let go of the stone in my heart, and by the way, I also made fun of Hong Tao, the behavior of city people who are full of food.
"Hey, the city is full of people, high-rise buildings, and cars. The only thing that doesn't exist is the green mountains and green waters. You are so blessed that you don't know how blessed you are. Living in a place like this, even if you eat glutinous rice every day,
, you can also live several years longer than people in the city. Look at your body and bones, walking up and down carrying hundreds of kilograms of stuff as if it’s nothing.
, I'm young, but I really can't shoulder your burden." Hong Tao said what he said was not entirely true. If he was asked to stay here for two months, he would definitely be fine. If he was allowed to stay here for several years,
Here, he is also annoyed. Not to mention eating chaffy vegetables every day, even if he is served seafood and abalone every day, he can't stand this loneliness.
People are, in one word, cheap! There is nothing to think about. Those who farm in the countryside want to live in the city all day long, and those who work in offices in the city think about buying a piece of land in the countryside, building a small yard, and growing crops.
Raise some chickens and ducks somewhere. But if you really want them to change, it will be successful in the short term, but over time, both parties will not get used to it, and they have to think about changing back.
