At 7:50 in the morning, Zhuang drove Ju An to the gate of the ranch dragging two dozen beers. He helped unload the beers and then turned back. Ju An only carried a long bag on his back.
With a bow, two dozen arrows and a camera, a man stood at the gate of the ranch, looking in the direction of Taylor's house.
It didn't take long before I saw Taylor's old pickup truck coming out of the distance. When I got closer to Ju'an, I discovered that there was a trailer hanging on the back of the pickup truck with a boat about five or six meters long on it. The car arrived in Ju'an.
He stopped next to him, and old Taylor stretched his head out of the car window: "Come up quickly, how long have you been here? I saw you at the door from a distance."
Ju An picked up a dozen beers at his feet, opened the car door at the back and put them in: "I just arrived a while ago! Erzhuang just went back." After saying that, he put the two dozen beers in the car, got in and closed the door.
opened the car door.
Thornton sat in front and said to Ju An: "Let me see the new bow you bought." After hearing Sander's words, Ju An took off the backpack he was carrying and handed it to Thornton.
Thornton unzipped the bag and looked at the bow inside and said, "Good guy, the bow in the bag looks heavy. How heavy is the draw weight?".
"The fifty-pound draw weight is the largest you can buy in the town," Ju An said with a smile. Today's bows are disassembled. The bow handle, limbs and bow are now separate and used
It can be put together when the time comes, and it is very convenient to take it apart and take it with you. It is a small long bag: "Did you two bring a bow?"
Thornton nodded, zipped up his backpack and handed it to Ju An: "I brought my own compound bow and a dozen arrows. Taylor can share one with me. After all, there is still someone to sail the boat."
Taylor glanced at the bag in Ju An's hand and turned his head forward to look at the road: "I am responsible for driving the boat. There is no need to fish for the fish in the river. I can catch more than a dozen fish in one lap of the boat. An is
When you go to the river to shoot fish for the first time, you have to pay attention to your own safety. Last year there was a report that a person was killed by an Asian carp."
Ju An was stunned when he heard this: "I was killed by a fish. How big of a fish was it?".
"The one-meter-long fish jumped out of the water and hit the person's face, killing him," Thornton explained and pointed to the temple on his head.
It turned out that it hit the temple, no wonder it could kill someone: "Then I will be more careful. Don't miss the fish and get slapped twice by the fish instead."
Thornton and Taylor laughed twice after hearing this. Thornton said: "This is really not a joke. You will know when you get there. Being slapped by a fish is very common."
Ju An smiled and said nothing, but he didn't care at all. How big could the fish in the river be? With his current skill, he could still be slapped by the fish.
The three people drove around the town and walked for about ten minutes. Then they got on a trail. It was basically like Mr. Lu Xun said, a dirt road that becomes a road when people walk on it. There were big trees and shrubs on both sides of the trail.
.Fortunately, the road is relatively flat with no ups and downs. If it were uneven, the boat on the trailer behind would probably not be able to bear it.
After driving on the dirt road for an hour, we arrived at the river. As soon as the car stopped, Ju An jumped out of the car and looked up at the small river in front of him. It couldn't be called a small river at all. It was surrounded by tall grass.
The river is slightly narrower than the canal in Ju An's hometown. Just standing on the shore can see fish leaping out of the river from time to time.
"An! Come here and help push the boat into the river." Thornton greeted Ju An who was admiring the river view.
Ju An turned around and saw that Taylor had turned around the pickup truck and put the trailer on the river. Thornton and Taylor were untying the cables on the boat. He quickly walked over and untied a few ropes.
Everyone worked together to push the boat down. The whole boat was much lighter than Ju An imagined. After knocking twice, he discovered that the hull was not made of steel.
Yes, it should be made of fiberglass and the like. It is very light and the three people can easily push the boat into the river. There is also a small wooden artificial wharf by the river, which is a small wooden frame with slightly wooden boards on it.
It stretched five or six meters into the river. As soon as the boat entered the river, Taylor dragged the rope he put on and dragged the boat to the front of the pier.
Thornton greeted Ju An: "Put the beer and everything on the boat. The water is deep enough to put down the propeller." Watching Taylor get on the boat, Ju An quickly put his backpack on his back, holding a dozen in his hand.
Beer followed Thornton towards the dock.
When they got to the boat, Ju An took off his backpack and started to put up the bow. Thornton and Taylor went back to the car to move things again. Then they returned to the boat and saw that Ju An had already put up the bow.
After handing Ju An a life jacket and all three of them put on the life jackets, Taylor put the propeller at the back of the boat into the water, walked to the driver's seat and started the boat, and waited until it was almost in the middle of the river.
You can see leaping fish everywhere.
The speed of the boat along the waterway became faster and faster. Everywhere the boat went on the river, densely packed fish jumped out of the water. Ju An was stunned to see the jumping fish on the lake surface shining in the sun. If Ju An had
Whoever has trypophobia probably just lay down in the cabin at this time, Sese
I was trembling. Looking at the scene in front of me, I blurted out the Chinese word "Holy crap!". After five or six minutes of sailing, a dozen fish jumped into the cabin, and each one was quite big. The smallest one was five years old.
It's sixty centimeters long. Let alone fishing, you can just drive the boat around in the river.
Ju An also saw the scene on the Internet of an old American sailing in a boat on the river with the fish jumping, but it was on a video after all. After experiencing it himself, he felt that it was really spectacular, the clear river water,
sparkling river surface
Accompanied by schools of silvery fish jumping out of the lake, the speedboat drew a white water mark on the river. The boat was surrounded by schools of fish leaping high, facing the breeze coming from the pavement. If this was done in China,
It was definitely a scene of good harvest.
Looking at the fish jumping in the cabin, Ju An realized that the Asian carp that the old American was talking about did not refer to the general terms of carp, silver carp, carp, etc. After five or six minutes of driving, the cabin was filled with fish.
Two or three kinds of fish jumped in, the biggest being silver carp, a carp and even a slimy fathead fish.
After driving back and forth in the river for twenty minutes, Taylor finally stopped the boat in the center of the river: "It's more fun to sail the boat in the river. Now you two can shoot fish. I'll take a sip of beer first." After that,
He got down from the driver's seat, took out the fish in the cabin and threw it back into the river. Then he took out a bottle of beer and unscrewed the cap and took a sip.
After hearing Taylor's words, Ju An picked up the bow and stood up from his seat. He walked to the stern of the boat and set up an arrow. He aimed at a leaping silver carp and shot it. The bow sounded with a bang and the fish fell down.
, Ju An happily watched the fish fall into the river.
He stretched out his hand and fished the fish up. Looking at the silver carp that had been shot, Ju An said with a smile: "It's so easy to shoot. It's basically right in front of you. You can do it with a little more sensitivity."
Let’s go ahead and catch it, let’s have grilled fish for lunch.”
Taylor shook his head after hearing this: "There are too many fish bones in these. It's very troublesome to eat. If you want to eat them, grill them yourself. I'll just eat the burgers I brought with me. Just use an arrow. If you shoot the fish directly,
Throw it into the river, don't dirty the boat."
Ju An was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that Americans don't eat these spiny freshwater fishes very much. No wonder Asian carp are so prevalent in America. He shook his head and secretly gave these Americans a thumbs-up that they don't understand good food.
Comment, this is the first time I heard someone say this when Ju An grew up.
I threw the fish into the river. I was afraid of dirtying the boat. I continued to draw the bow to shoot the fish. I didn’t even need to draw the bow to full. I just opened it a little and let the arrow go. Fish kept coming to Ju’an’s arrow mouth. Bang.
The arrows almost missed, and no less than a dozen fish were thrown into the river in a short time.
Seeing Ju An continuously pulling the bow with both hands, Thornton also became interested and followed Ju An to the stern of the boat and started shooting. Seeing a big fish not far away crossing the water, Ju An quickly set up the bow and guided the arrow.
, the arrow shot steadily into the belly of the fish.
I was about to cheer, but I didn’t know that the big fish didn’t die at all, and directly got into the water with Ju An’s arrow. Ju An looked at this situation and cursed: “Damn! This pair can’t even cross.
He didn't die, and he even took my arrow away."
Thornton smiled and said to Ju An: "Don't pick too big fish, shoot some smaller ones directly, and you also use carbon arrows, go get an arrow with a wooden shaft from my bag, even if it kills
It can still float up. If you shot such a big fish, it would probably have swam a long way even if it died."
After listening to Thornton's words, Ju An turned around and found a wooden arrow in Thornton's bag. As soon as he looked up, he saw a fish flying towards Taylor. Taylor had his back to the bow of the boat and was looking at it with a smile.
Thornton was shooting fish, leaning against the cushion with his crossed legs and drinking beer comfortably. Ju An quickly shouted: "Taylor, be careful!".
Taylor also noticed the fish flying over, and turned around to hide. Who knows, but he was a step too late and was hit hard by the fish's tail. Taylor groaned and covered his cheeks. The big fish that caused the accident jumped directly over the boat and fell to the other side.
in the water.
"Mother, f...!" Taylor covered his cheeks and cursed, then rubbed the corners of his mouth and spat into the river. When he let go, Ju An saw that the whole corner of his mouth was slapped by the fish tail.
It was red, and this tail directly made old Taylor burst into tears.
Ju An and Thornton quickly walked up to Taylor and asked: "How is it, how is it?". Old Taylor continued to rub his cheeks and shook his head and said: "Thornton, give me the bow and arrow, and I will always take revenge!" He stood up with that.
Get up and walk toward the stern of the ship.
Thornton smiled and gave Taylor the bow in his hand. Taylor took the bow and began to take revenge on the fish in the river. Ju An also took aim with a wooden arrow, and the two of them shot together.
After more than thirty fish, Taylor put down his bow and said: "Let's meet again! You two sit down."
Ju'an and Thornton sat down after hearing Taylor's words.
