Views:

Even wearing thick clothes, people can easily get frostbite if they stay in the cold snow for a long time, so in the afternoon Yao Li, the little girl and others went back to the three-story wooden building where they stayed to rest, watch TV, and eat seals Dried meat, teasing orange cats, thrushes, white squirrels, etc.

After taking a short rest after eating, Li Shu called Uncle York to leave the wooden building, carrying the green net and the big iron bucket to the seaside - they were going to catch the sea.

"Wait for me, I'll go too!" Li Shu, Uncle York had just walked out for more than a hundred meters when Qian Rongjie caught up from behind. Because he ran in such a hurry, one trouser leg was stuffed in his shoe, and the other Not stuffed yet.

"Why are you here?" Li Shu stood still, turned around and said with a smile.

"Hey, I saw you leaving with the iron bucket, so I knew you were going to the beach to catch fish." Qian Rongjie used to be shy, but now he is much more cheerful. His eyebrows on his left eye are white, and his eyebrows are unconscious when he speaks. of upturned.

"It's not to catch fish, but to catch the sea." Li Shu said with a smile, "As for what you can harvest, you have to ask Uncle York."

"Haha, let's go fishing for Arctic shrimp! We will definitely catch a lot. I used to fish for it often when I was a child." Uncle York was even more excited than Li Shu and Li Shu, and he waved his powerful arms with great momentum.

"Prawns? Can we harvest prawns by going to sea?" Qian Rongjie was stunned, but he was a little hopeful. He had never been to Greenland, so he thought Uncle York would not lie to them.

The three of them came to a parking lot on the south side of "Gothob". A 1.2-meter-long white "electric sled" came into view. They lifted the sled to the snow. Li Shu and Qian Rongjie were sitting on the left and right. In the low car, Uncle York got into the driver's seat and quickly started driving.

The cold wind blew over, making his face hurt. Qian Rongjie yelled: "It's too silky, sliding on the snow is quite fast, but why do I feel like sitting in a small... … How do you feel about the Japanese army’s motorcycle with a compartment in the Anti-Japanese War movie? ".

"This sleigh does look like a Japanese invader's motorcycle. If you don't tell me, I haven't remembered it yet. I rely on Uncle York to brake! There are rocks in the snow in front of me!" Li Shu's pupils shrank, and he felt like he was dead.

Buzz buzz~

Uncle York was driving a snowmobile...no, it was an electric sled. He moved in an "S" shape to avoid the 20-centimeter-high reef that protruded from the ground. Li Shu looked back at the 20-centimeter-high reef that was gradually going away, feeling lingering fear.

The electric sled has no shock absorption and is sliding on the snow. If it hits the stone growing in the ground, I am afraid they will all fly out and fall into the mud.

"Haha, kids, my skills are very good! Don't worry!" Uncle York laughed loudly, and the hearty laughter spread across the vast snowfield.

There are some hills of 50 to 100 meters in the north of "Gothob", while in the south is an endless snowfield. At a glance, except for the occasional three or two steeple-roofed wooden houses without yards, there is nothing.

Oh, occasionally you can see a ptarmigan running around. It has a head like a pangolin and a fat body. The ptarmigan looks like it has a lot of meat.

squeak~

Half an hour later, the electric sled stopped. After Li Shu got off the car, he found that he had arrived at a coast with no snow but ice floes. The seaside was more than 500 meters long and more than 200 meters deep. The sea water rushed up and then receded. Going down, brown rocks are exposed from time to time, and dirty cold zone barnacles grow on the slippery surface.

"Hey!? There are really shrimps!!" Qian Rongjie put on rubber boots and leather gloves and just walked a few steps to the coast when he caught a shrimp in a puddle with transparent ice floes.

Qian Rongjie showed off to Li Shu, Uncle York, who was walking towards him, as if asking for credit. The afternoon sun shone on Qian Rongjie's face, illuminating the latter's face brightly.

"Hey, the little guy who is only about 10 centimeters is too small. We are looking for guys over 15 centimeters!" Uncle York said with a smile.

"Oh, okay." Qian Rongjie changed hands and threw the prawn back into the sea. The latter escaped death and swam into the sea quickly.

The three people carried the buckets and the net and walked toward the sea. Their rubber shoes left footprints on the muddy seaside. Some of the footprints were quickly filled with the sea water next to them.

soon.

The three of them found a rock pit that was more than 6 meters long and wide and only a little over half a meter deep.

"Quick, quick, big Arctic shrimp!!" Uncle York used the net to gently scoop up the puddle, and in an instant, more than a hundred Arctic shrimps of various sizes came up. The shrimps, big and small, were jumping around. Many jumped back into the sea from the net.

“Up, up, up!”.

"Catch it quickly! When the tide comes up and covers this rock pit, these prawns will definitely run away!"

Li Shu and Qian Rongjie's faces flushed with excitement. Looking at the lively prawns, the joy of finding a treasure surged in their hearts. They used the net to fish up a large number of prawns, and they swished them~ All the 15 cm long Arctic shrimps were thrown into the iron bucket, and other small shrimps and crabs were thrown back.

"I'll go, I'm afraid there will be 5 to 6 kilograms of goods in this net. There are a lot of big ones." Qian Rongjie was very happy: "Hey, there are also small crabs. Do you want crabs?"

"No crabs." Uncle York said: "Crabs have no meat, are difficult to handle, are small, and don't have much to eat."

The three of them were very efficient. In just 5 minutes, they harvested 15 kilograms of large shrimps, but there were almost only small Arctic shrimps left in this puddle.

"Don't eat these small shrimps, wait until they grow up before catching them!" Uncle York said with a smile, "Let's go look for them in other puddles!"

When the tide recedes, large and small puddles are left on the shore. The seafood that has not had time to retreat is left in the puddles. Not far away, there are thunderbirds catching fish and shrimps in the puddles to eat. This is really a gift from nature. .

"Not all water pits have a large number of Arctic shrimps. Hiss~ This water hole is 8 meters long and wide, and the water is more than half a meter deep. But when you lower the net, there are only one or two Arctic shrimps, which is different from the water hole just now. Huge, what’s the point?” Qian Rongjie frowned.

Li Shu said with a smile: "When the tide is high, we are standing on the seafloor. Arctic shrimps are not evenly distributed on the seafloor. Instead, they swim in groups. When the water recedes, the Arctic shrimps that have no time to retreat retreat into a puddle." , and it’s really normal.”.

"That makes sense!" Qian Rongjie gave a thumbs up.

Sudden.

Qian Rongjie was fishing for shrimps from the pit. He used a dip net to fish out a big cod. The tail of the big cod swung Qian Rongjie's face into the sea water. The latter lost his center of gravity in panic and almost fell down. Fortunately, Li Shu helped him in the puddle.

"Hurry, hurry! There is actually a big guy hiding in this puddle half a meter deep!".

"He can't run, his body is too big!" Uncle York said excitedly, taking the fishing net to fish for a half-meter-long large cod, blah blah~ I couldn't catch it several times, but he became more and more courageous with frustration.

Li Shu and Qian Rongjie also chased and intercepted him. In an instant, the small puddle exploded, and the cold air boiled with the noisy shouts.

"I got it! Haha, this half-meter-long cod probably weighs more than 6 pounds!" Li Shu finally found the exhausted big white cod and laughed. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, giving him His face was coated with red.
