Island Fishing Grounds

Chapter 327: Joseph and the Thunderbird

Views:

At night, the heavy snow outside the window was still falling, and the whole world was covered with snow.

"Ashu, is there any danger in going to the polar night area? The sky is completely black." Huang Yun said during the video call.

"There are street lights, and there are many stars in the sky. It's no different from a normal night." Li Shu said with a smile.

"Oh, that's it." Huang Yun nodded.

"It's late at night, go to bed early.".

"Okay then, good night.".

As the night got darker, Li Shu slowly fell asleep amidst the purring of the big orange cat, and the snow outside the three-story wooden house became heavier and heavier.

… …

Early the next morning.

When Li Shu went for a morning run after washing up, he found that the snow was already more than 30 centimeters thick. Fortunately, the snow on the road had been shoveled away by forklifts.

"It's really snowing, squealing~" Li Shu jogged on the road and looked around. Houses with snow-covered roofs were left behind.

Bah~

The thick snow protrudes much from the eaves of the house, and occasionally a large piece of snow that is too heavy falls directly to the ground, making a sound.

"The air after the heavy snow is very cold." Li Shu ran directly to the western seaside, stood on a 20-meter-high cliff and looked down. The sea water was washing against the rocks under the cliff, and white waves were flowing. Duoduo.

A large number of frigid barnacles grow stubbornly on the rocks. The sea water occasionally washes away a barnacle, and then sweeps away the unlucky one.

Buzz~

A flash of white light appeared in Li Shu's eyes, and his sight instantly penetrated one kilometer of sea water. Large cod fish ranging from half a meter to 80 centimeters long were swimming on the bottom of the sea. Their white bodies with light brown spots were streamlined, and some were chasing small ones. Shrimp and fish—they should have started eating breakfast too.

In addition to cod, there are also two kinds of salmon of different sizes, halibut, small halibut, etc. The further away from the coast, the more fish there are. The plum trees want to jump into the sea to catch one for stew.

Sudden.

A strange greeting sounded from behind: "Mr. Xun Tezhi, good morning!".

Li Shu looked back and found a black-haired young man wearing a leather jacket standing 5 meters away. He was also holding a Siberian husky, also known as a Erha dog.

After thinking for a moment, Li Shu realized that the man in the jacket called him "animal tamer."

"Hello, my name is Yasef!" The man in the jacket approached the plum tree and extended his hand enthusiastically: "Your cat training skills are really great, really amazing! My sister also has a cat. A cat, a big cat 1 meter long. It doesn’t listen to me and beats me up. I wish I had your cat training skills.”

It turns out that the man in the jacket had a "special experience", so he was extremely envious of Li Shu's ability to train cats. But what the hell is being beaten by a cat

"What kind of cat is one meter long?" Li Shu is very happy that Yasef's English is very good, otherwise he really doesn't know Greenlandic or Danish, but - being beaten by a cat should be considered a rare experience, right

"That's right... I have a photo!" Yasef touched his head, then turned on his phone to show the photo to Li Shu, who instantly had a black line on his face - the photo was clearly an adult "Lynx(she)Lynx(li)" ".

Lynx is a member of the feline family but not a cat. It is much larger than cats and very fierce. It likes to stay in the cold zone. It has a thick body and a short tail. It has upward-facing black tufts on the tips of its ears. It looks a bit like an adult. An evil monster

"This is a lynx, not a cat." Li Shu gestured with his hands. He didn't understand the English name of lynx, so he emphasized that it was not a cat.

"Oh, it's not a cat, so I said... Hey, Kabuta, stop this guy!" Yasef just said a few words and was almost knocked over by the dog, with a solemn face. The Erha dog looked extraordinary. It turned out that he saw a big bird 30 meters away on the right and wanted to chase the big bird.

"Stop! Kabda!" Yasef was prepared and quickly grabbed the two-dog. The latter no longer stared at the big bird. All four legs were raised or lowered together, jumping up and down. Yasef was happy, and a sense of stupidity came over him.

"What kind of bird is that? Or is it a pheasant?" Li Shu looked at the big bird. The bird was twice as big as an adult chicken, with a snow-white body and black feathers on its tail.

The head is like a pangolin's head, the body is like a pigeon's body, and the thick and thick hair is tightly attached to the body.

"Cuckoo~" The big bird lying on the snow glared at Li Shu, Yasef and Erhagou. Then he stood up and flew south against the snow. He flew more than a hundred meters and was still on the snow. It ran for a while, and then flew again - it turned out that it was just like the ground sparrow, it couldn't fly high.

"That's a ptarmigan!" Yasef said with a smile: "In the spring soon, male ptarmigans will appear in groups, cooing endlessly, and begin to court frantically. The irritability feels like... just Like cicadas over there in the tropics.".

"I understand! But in legend, the thunderbird seems to be able to control thunder and lightning, and is powerful and domineering, but in reality it looks like a bald bird." Li Shu saw Qian Rongjie waving to him in the distance, probably telling him to eat. After breakfast, Assef and I walked back and talked.

Before parting, Yasef nervously asked Li Shu for his autograph, but unfortunately he didn't have a pen, so he took a photo instead.

After breakfast, everyone took a short rest and then drove to the eastern suburbs. There were many people on both sides of the road, with cars of all brands, as well as people riding bicycles, walking, and riding electric vehicles. Many people still had stickers on their faces. A sticker with a sled pattern and a small colorful flag waving in his hand.

The venue for the dog sled competition is on a flat snowfield on the outskirts of the city. Staff members driving electric cars compacted and flattened the 80-meter-wide and 10-kilometer-long snow track.

The snow path runs north-south, with the starting point in the north and the finishing point in the south. A hundred meters north of the starting point, a white tent was set up for the contestants to rest, and a dog's figure flashed past the half-open entrance of the tent.

Hundreds of tents were set up together, the rock cloth swaying slightly in the cold wind, and a large number of staff wearing work badges shuttled among them. It looked very lively.

"Squeak~".

The old pink Volkswagen was parked in the parking area further north. Li Shu, Qian Rongjie, Su Zhizhe and others got out of the car, while their bodyguards got out of the two taxis behind.

“Oh, there must be thousands of people here!”.

"Looking at the scale, there should be more than 3,000 people!"

"There is a service area over there. Um, do you get free beer? Is this... drinking beer?"

Uncle York raised his fist as big as a sandbag and said bitterly: "It must be sponsored by that black-hearted brewery in the north!! There are so many drunkards in the first place. It would be fun to lie down on the ground and freeze to death after drinking too much! Humph!"

Obviously, Uncle York hates alcoholism very much. This may be related to his lifestyle. Uncle York lives a positive and optimistic life. He still insists on exercising in his 60s and is so clean that he has mysophobia.

Most alcoholics, on the other hand, muddle along, looking unkempt, slovenly, and full of decadence and negativity.

The little girl was carrying a big orange cat on her shoulders. When she saw many contestants coming out of the tent and starting to warm up, she was stunned for a moment: "Huh? There are so many bad dogs!"
