Views:

Just when Jiang Hai was sighing there, there were really a lot of birds here, and it would taste good if he caught some and fried them, the originally fast team suddenly slowed down.

Just when Jiang Hai was puzzled, Paul next to him gestured to him. While lowering his body, he whispered to him: "There is a situation ahead. Follow me and try not to make any noise. Stop talking now!"

After hearing Paul's words, Jiang Hai and Fuyuan looked at each other, and then they quietly followed the crowd and walked over.

After walking through a forest, in Jiang Hai's eyes, the forest was nothing but trees, but now it suddenly became clear.

A very long mountain stream appeared in front of Jiang Hai. The snowy water in early spring flowed down the stream. Although the stream was not very wide, it was only about one or two meters wide at its widest point. But the current is very fast.

After all, the snow on this mountain melts very quickly once it is baked by the sun.

The water is constantly scouring, and from time to time, some swimming fish jump out of the water in the stream.

Compared with the major rivers that have been occupied by Asian carp, most of the fish in this mountain stream are native to North America. Jiang Hai cannot recognize many fish, unlike Wens. The river next to Luopu is basically full of market fish.

But at this time, he had no time to look at the fish. His eyes were following the gazes of everyone and looking towards the other side of the stream.

At this time, on the opposite side of the stream, a small group of deer were drinking water leisurely. At that time, when some deer were drinking water, there would always be some deer standing there, looking around vigilantly.

Although no one usually hunts deer here in the United States, it is different from that in neighboring Canada.

There are really too few people in Canada. In some small towns, there are even only a few dozen people in a small town.

Under such circumstances, there is really no need for them to kill these deer, so the deer in Canada are very happy.

Basically, they will not be hunted by others, so deer in Canada are not afraid of people.

As for the American Empire, after all, it has a population of 300 million. Normally, there are always some gun enthusiasts who go into the mountains to hunt, so although the number of deer here is also very large, they are almost ready to grow. It's a disaster, but it's much more vigilant than the deer in Canada.

"Deer, do you want one?" Looking at the herd of deer in front of him, Jiang Hai's eyes suddenly lit up, he gently poked Paul next to him with the tip of his elbow, and said excitedly, talking about his gun. I have never fought such a creature before.

"Forget it, these deer are too young. The oldest one is only about two years old and has not grown up at all. You can only eat meat after killing it. It is such a waste." Looking at the deer in front of him, Paul here After thinking for a while, he still rejected Jiang Hai's proposal.

"What else can a deer do if it doesn't eat meat?" After hearing Paul's words, Jiang Hai was stunned and asked with some confusion.

"Antlers!" After hearing Jiang Hai's words, Paul here had already informed everyone not to hunt these deer. Since there was no need to do anything, these people naturally stopped hiding and stood up directly. The deer on the other side As soon as they saw the people here standing up, the group suddenly exploded and fled in all directions. It was obvious that they knew that these people were not easy to mess with. As for Paul, he explained.

"Deer antlers? What should we play with... deer antlers? No, people here don't eat these things." Hearing Paul's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help scratching his head in wonder. He had been here for a while, but Mei People in the US really don't trust Chinese medicine, so there are very few Chinese medicine shops in the US. Deer antlers, which are very valuable in China, have little market here.

"Boss, they want antlers for collection. If you look at those movies, don't many people like to hang a specimen of a deer head in their study room? The number of branches of the antlers represents the number of the deer. Age and strength." Hearing Jiang Hai's whisper, Bell couldn't help but smile and explain.

After hearing Bell's words, Jiang Hai reacted immediately. He really remembered that it seemed that such a thing happened.

"Okay, it's noon now. Let's take a rest here. Let's light up the fire and cook." Just when Jiang Hai figured out the meaning of Paul's words, Paul here had already walked to the side of the stream and looked at the water. There was a clear stream in the open space beside him. He couldn't help but clapped his hands and signaled everyone not to leave in a hurry until they had lunch here.

As Paul's words fell, everyone started to clean up. It was obvious that these people were not out for the first time, so they were very skilled and had a clear division of labor. Those who picked firewood picked up firewood, those who picked up the empty space picked up the empty space, and some people picked up the empty space. Pile some large stones to form a stove for cooking. As for Jiang Hai, he has never done these things before, and he can't get involved.

But fortunately, in addition to these people, there are still some people who have to prepare ingredients. It is said that you rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, and you rely on the water to eat the water.

Now these people have just entered the mountains and haven't opened yet. Naturally, they can't eat game, so they can only eat fish.

Immediately, three people walked to the river, took out the prepared fishing rods, fishing lines, and fishhooks, and prepared to fish.

Nothing else is good, but when it comes to fishing, especially river fish, Jiang Hai is still very confident.

"Let me help!" At that moment, he also put down his backpack and walked towards the man who had just walked in front of them. This man had also spoken a few words to Jiang Hai and was somewhat familiar with him. Besides him, Will, and Paul Apart from the three of them, Jiang Hai had not spoken to anyone else.

"What? You know how to fish?" Looking at Jiang Hai, the man obviously didn't quite believe that Jiang Hai, a young man who looked very thin, could.

"Of course, I'm a little fishing expert here. Just give me a fishing line and a few hooks." After hearing what this man said, Jiang Hai couldn't help but smile. After hearing what Jiang Hai said, this man He couldn't help but feel happy. A piece of fishing line and a few fish balls didn't matter. He immediately gave Jiang Hai a roll of fishing line and a set of new hooks. Jiang Hai was not polite. After all, these things were not originally available. They are valuable. For people who come here to play, these things may not be worth as much as a few bullets.

After waving his hand, Jiang Hai took Fuyuan and Bell with him and walked upstream for a while. During this period, he had been observing the situation of the stream, and after a while, he selected a place.

The water in this place is very calm, and the underwater is different from other places, a little muddy.

There is a saying that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Although this sentence is not entirely accurate, it is not unreasonable.

At least when the water is extremely clear, there are no big fish. Of course, that’s not the case in the sea.

Secondly, it is inevitable that it is not easy for fish to take the bait in places where the current is relatively turbulent.

Jiang Hai has been fishing all winter, and he is very familiar with the habits of freshwater fish.

After putting the hook on the fishing line, Jiang Hai tried it. Although there was no fishing rod, it was not easy to throw, but fortunately the stream was very narrow, so it didn't matter to Jiang Hai that there was no fishing rod and it floated.

After studying the location, Jiang Hai casually took out a piece of beef from his bag. He was afraid that he would be hungry at noon today, so he brought it here specially. After cutting the beef into many pieces, Throw it into the water of your choice.

Then the beef swirled and fell into the water. Facts have proved that not only people like to eat the premium A-grade snowflake beef, but fish also like to eat it. As the beef enters the water, several bubbles also emerge from the water. Jiang Hai couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this. Then he threw down some beef again, but this time, in addition to the beef, he also threw down the fishhook that was covered with beef. The fishhook entered the water, and in less than ten seconds, Jiang Hai saw a sudden flash of red light under the turbid water, and then the fishing line in his hand couldn't help but tighten.

If an ordinary person doesn't have some strength, his hand may be broken if he tightens it, but who is Jiang Hai!

Under his influence, the power that reached the limit of human beings was lifted up in an instant, and a big silver fish with a hooked mouth, about forty centimeters long, was pulled straight out of the water by him.

"Wow, so fast!" Seeing that Jiang Hai had gained something so quickly, the three people who were standing in the distance and watching the excitement couldn't help but be shocked. The person who just lent Jiang Hai a fishing line just now , and even ran over specifically to look at Jiang Hai's harvest.

"This is char, a very good fish. I didn't expect you to be able to catch it with this thing. You can do it!" Looking at the big fish that was still struggling on the snow, the people here couldn't help but He was stunned, patted Jiang Hai excitedly and said.

Char, also known as lake char and lake trout, is a very common freshwater fish along the coasts of America and Europe. It can reach deep into the Arctic in the north and tropical areas in the south. It can grow up to 70 centimeters and weigh Up to four kilograms.

It enters the sea in June and July every year and is a migratory fish. When it reaches adulthood, it will return to its birthplace to lay eggs.

Before it grows up, it will stay in freshwater waters. This char is obviously not a complete adult fish, so it was caught by Jiang Hai, but even if it is not an adult, it does not mean that Jiang Hai will let him go. The big one is ready to eat.

"Haha, luck, good luck!" Hearing what the other party said, Jiang Hai also smiled. As for Fuyuan, he ran over to take pictures again.

He felt that his choice to come to Jiang Hai was really the wisest thing to do.

Apart from anything else, the number of photos I can take to show off is more than what I usually take in a year.

Now in his few groups, everyone is used to it. Whenever he appears, he will blow up the group. It feels so good!

There are a total of sixteen people in Jiang Hai, and one fish is definitely not enough. Even if the fish is not small, it is still not enough.

Then Jiang Hai picked another place, picked up the beef in his hand, and started cutting it.
