The water near the lake was deeper than Wang Ping had imagined. A badger was sitting on the shore with his arms folded, thinking about whether to get a piece of jerky for fishing, when he heard footsteps behind him.
"Why is Gu Laosan back again? Didn't he go to set up the tent?"
Wang Ping turned around and saw someone walking towards him with a tablet in one hand and a tripod in the other.
Gu Lang approached the badger and squatted down, propped the tripod on the ground, and fixed it with rocks to prevent it from being blown down by the wind. Then he stuck the tablet computer on the support on the tripod.
"Hey, boss, there are a lot of people in the live broadcast room who want to watch you. I'll put the tablet here, so don't knock it over!" After tinkering with it, Gu Laosan did not forget to give instructions to Wang Ping.
Wang Ping scratched his head, speechless.
"I understand the logic, but where did this tripod come from? Are you going to explain it to me?"
When Gu Laosan was loading the car at home, a certain badger watched it from beginning to end, but he didn't even know when he installed the tripod on the car. In such a place with high sky and vast clouds, it's okay to bring a portable chamber pot, just as a way to protect the environment. But someone didn't even have a camera, but he actually got an extremely professional tripod.
"What a waste of natural resources..."
Wang Ping shook his head and moved closer to take a look at the tablet.
On the screen, a badger's furry face approached and a close-up was seen, and a row of "Hello, Boss" instantly floated across the barrage. Then, a row of special effects of gifts floated by, which was completely different from the scene someone had just seen.
On the other side, Gu Laosan pointed the camera on the rearview mirror in the car at the place outside the car where he was going to set up the tent, then got out of the car and started working.
Relying on his wifi, he won't let the other camera sit idle. Didn't a netizen just say that he wanted to see himself setting up a tent
Gu Laosan was thinking happily, not realizing that among the tens of thousands of fans in the live broadcast room, less than a hundred of them were still watching his screen. Many of the rest simply turned off Gu Laosan's camera and concentrated on watching a badger fishing.
In Aershan, the sun set early and the street lights in the community lit up.
Yan Lili came out of the kitchen with a bowl of steaming noodles and placed it on the dining table in the living room. Then she pulled a chair over and sat at the table, staring at a tablet on the table. She ate her noodles and laughed from time to time. Under the light in the living room, the amber pendant hanging on her chest sparkled.
Not far behind her, on the operating table, lay a tortoiseshell cat that had just been put in an Elizabethan collar. It was sticking out its tongue and looking at her with tears in its eyes.
On the screen, a flat-headed brother wearing a black T-shirt was digging the soil by the lake with his butt sticking out. The sky in the background was bright, and it was obvious that there was a time difference with here.
Although Tibet also uses the unified Chinese time, in fact, due to the difference in longitude, there is a two-hour time difference with the mainland. When Gu Laosan finally set up the camping tent recommended by Wang An, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and found that the sun had not set yet.
He raised his wrist and looked at the hands on his watch, which pointed to 7 o'clock. Gu Laosan looked confused.
"Hmm, it's west-southwest, and it's just after 5pm? Is the watch fast?"
On the other side, Wang Ping had already dug a pit as high as a badger by the lake. In the live broadcast, one could only see a white peach head occasionally shaking in the pit, and then mud and stones were constantly thrown up.
"What is the boss doing?"
“Why dig a hole near the lake?”
"Mysterious operation, I don't understand"
In the live broadcast room, a bunch of netizens made random guesses. Some said that it was to dig a hiding hole to rest at night. After all, the flat-headed brother lives in a hole. Others said that the badger was actually looking for earthworms to fish. Of course, after digging such a deep hole, there was not a single earthworm hair, so this argument was quickly drowned out by the army of barrages.
After a while, we saw on the screen that a badger climbed up the edge of the pit with its two furry little paws. It then brushed the mud off its paws and walked leisurely to the place where the pit and the lake shore met, using its claws to dig up the mud between them.
The lake water poured directly into the pit along the gap.
"Well, next, it's the bait..."
Wang Ping pondered for a moment and looked up in the direction of the parking lot in the distant valley.
"It seems a bit far..."
A distance of 200 meters, converted into the pace of a badger, would take at least 600 to 700 steps. I was a little hungry at the moment and was too lazy to move. After thinking about it, I decided to let Gu Laosan run errands...
“Ah~~!”
A badger shouted directly.
Although he was very resistant to his own voice, and Wang Ping usually didn't call out easily, after adapting to his identity for so long, he no longer felt annoyed by his own voice.
After a while, Gu Laosan came trotting over.
"What's wrong, boss? Are you calling me?" Gu Laosan said, and couldn't help looking at the puddle behind a badger. This guy has been staying by the lake, just to dig a hole
Wang Ping looked up at Gu Lang and gestured with his little paw near his mouth.
This was the only gesture that Gu Lao San could understand so far. As long as Wang Ping made this gesture, someone would know to prepare snacks.
"… "
Gu Lang looked back at the wrangler 200 meters away, then looked back at Wang Ping under his feet. In his heart, he secretly despised the lazy badger, then forced a smile and asked, "Boss, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Beef jerky or spicy strips?"
"Fuck you, have you ever seen anyone using spicy strips to fish? Besides, what idiot would let a dumb animal answer multiple-choice questions?" Wang Ping grinned, looking unhappy.
"Uh..." Gu Laosan also realized that he had asked another stupid question, so he changed the topic and asked, "How about taking the beef jerky you had this afternoon?"
Wang Ping nodded, then simply sat on the ground and watched someone jog back into the car to get something for him.
Behind him, a series of "cackles" came. A flock of birds flew back from afar and dived into the lake. Wang Ping stood up, put his little paws in front of his eyes and looked around. He found that there were several places in the center of the lake that were obviously deeper than the lake water. And as the angle of the sunlight changed, there seemed to be shadows in those places.
"There is actually an island in the middle of the lake, but it's a bit far away..." Wang Ping sighed, feeling a little regretful. If the islands were closer, he might be able to swim over and touch some bird eggs. It was only when he arrived at the lake that he realized that the shore was bare, without even any grass, let alone bird nests. At the moment, it seemed that the water birds were all living on the islands in the middle of the lake.
Footsteps were heard, and Gu Laosan came back jogging, panting, holding a few small plastic-sealed packages of beef jerky in his hand. He leaned over and handed them to Wang Ping.
Seeing a badger unpacking the package without even a smile, Gu Laosan curled his lips and prepared to go back to work. But when he stood up and was about to leave, he remembered something, ran to the place where the tripod was placed, and looked down at the screen of the tablet.
"Huh? How come it's already past 7 o'clock? This is unscientific!"
Someone looked at the watch on his wrist which he had just set back to 5 o'clock and fell into deep thought.
