Ning Fei retracted the fishing line at a constant speed.
Since there was no pulley, he could only stand up and move back.
The fishing line was very long because he chose the deepest lake bottom to fish, and he let it out for a long time.
"This fish is pretty strong."
Ning Fei said while retreating.
After a while, the fish was finally pulled out of the lake from the bottom of the lake by Ning Fei.
"Out!"
Netizens' eyes lit up when they saw that there was actually a fish.
"What kind of fish is it?"
Ning Fei also came to the lake at this time, and when he saw the fish, he suddenly laughed.
"This is an elegant fish, also called Schizothorax."
"It only grows in freshwater areas at high altitudes. It has high economic value and good taste."
After Ning Fei finished speaking, someone asked again:
“How much does this fish cost approximately?”
"We sell it at the aquatic products market here. Wild Schizothorax costs more than 300 yuan per pound, and the price of artificially raised fish is about 180 yuan."
"If you have to eat it directly at the hotel, it's more expensive. A piece of fish can cost a thousand yuan."
"This is also something for rich people to eat."
"One thousand yuan is enough for eight or nine of us to order a table of food."
Everyone was marveling at the price of the Schizothorax fish caught by Ning Fei, but saw Ning Fei taking the Schizothorax fish off the hook and throwing it directly to the little falcon.
"Little Falcon, you eat first."
Xiao Falcon followed him all the way and probably didn't eat for a whole day. Besides, it was not easy to hunt in the snowy area, so the first fish Ning Fei caught was given to Xiao Falcon.
Little Falcon received the order and started eating happily.
Ning Fei had long noticed that the little falcon preferred to eat fish rather than rabbits and mice.
Then, Ning Fei probably tried again and continued fishing.
Not long after, Ning Fei caught another fish with speckled skin.
Ning Fei introduced:
"This fish is commonly known as Snow Mountain Leopard Fish, and it is also a type of Schizothorax."
"In the fresh water on the plateau, the temperature is relatively low, so unique fish like Schizothorax can survive."
Ning Fei put the fish aside. In the ice and snow, the fish only bounced a few times and then stopped moving.
Then, Ning Fei continued fishing.
Not long after, the fishhook moved again.
Seeing such a scene, especially the fishing friends, all felt itchy and envious.
"Where is this snowy area? I also want to go fishing!"
A fishing man exclaimed.
"That place is easy to find. First walk into the Valley of Death in Kunlun Mountain, then look for the highest snow mountain. After two days of climbing the snow mountain, you can almost find it."
Someone gave him some information.
"Okay." The fishing guy shrugged helplessly.
Although the fishing brother dares to overcome all difficulties in order to fish, there is still a difference between overcoming difficulties and seeking death.
At this time, Ning Fei pulled up the fishhook. This time, it was a smaller fish.
"This is a plateau loach and one of the few plateau freshwater fishes."
Ning Fei explained.
In this way, after Ning Fei caught another fish, he felt that it was almost done, so he returned to the lake.
"The fish are already there, the next step is to make a fire."
"If you want to survive in the wild, fire is a necessity."
"Similar to Robinson Crusoe, Robinson relied on lightning to ignite a piece of wood to obtain flames. But this kind of accidental outside help is very rare, so he still has to rely on himself."
"In places like snowy areas, there is also a way to make a fire, which is to take a piece of ice from the glacial lake and use a knife to cut it into a convex lens."
"A convex lens can focus sunlight onto a single point, thereby igniting flammable materials such as dry grass and tinder."
After hearing Ning Fei's description, netizens felt that their posture had improved a lot.
"You can still make a fire like this."
"Guanzhu Ning's method is really powerful."
"So next, Master Ning will use ice to make a convex lens to light the fire?"
Facing the questions from netizens, Ning Fei smiled again and said:
"I was just talking about how to make a fire under these conditions."
"And I'm going to use a windproof lighter."
Netizen: “…”
When you go out on an adventure, in addition to packing things on your backpack, you must also pack things on your body.
Ning Fei had tools like a lighter and a switchblade in his trouser pocket, so starting a fire didn't have to be that troublesome.
"The next step is to find firewood."
"Look over there, everyone, there is a snow forest over there!"
Ning Fei was on the ice lake, looking at a mountain in the distance and said.
Netizens looked in the direction he pointed and saw a pine forest above the snow-capped mountains, covered with white snow, like a large Christmas tree without decorations.
The altitude where Ningfei is now is not high. It has descended from the glacier to the middle of the snow-capped mountain. The geographical conditions have also transitioned from the plateau desert area to the meadow area.
Then, Ning Fei took his skis and chemical stick, carried a few fish, and walked towards the woods.
Fill your stomach first and then talk.
Entering the woods, the temperature instantly increased.
After all, trees also provide shelter from the wind.
Ning Fei took some firewood, found a flat place, cleared the snow, and exposed the gray-black mountain rocks.
Then he gathered the firewood into a pile and found some dead leaves.
Ning Fei had rich experience in outdoor activities, so it was not difficult to light a bonfire. He carefully started the fire little by little, and it didn't take long for the fire to burn.
When he was at the lake just now, Ning Fei had already cleaned the fish, so he quickly grilled the skewered fish on the fire.
At this time, Ning Fei suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings in the dense forest.
Xiao Falcon was beside him, and when he was about to move, Ning Fei stopped him.
"There is actually a group of snow chickens in this dense forest."
Ning Fei looked at the direction where the sound came from and said.
When the drone turned to look around, netizens could also see that in the woods, there were more than a dozen white-gray birds scurrying about, as if looking for food.
Although the snow chicken has the word "chicken", its appearance is more like a fattened pigeon.
"Are there chickens in the snow too?"
"You can eat fish when you have chicken? Isn't chicken better than fish?"
"Snow chicken is a Class II protected animal. Eat one and let me see."
"I used to think that there were no animals in the depths of the snowy area. Now watching Ning Guanzhu's live broadcast, there are actually so many animals in the snowy area."
"The depths of the snowy area are no-man's land. There are just no people. There will still be animals."
Ning Fei grilled the fish and looked at the snow chicken.
He said easily:
"In fact, the law stipulates that it is not illegal for people to eat protected animals in a crisis situation."
"Whether it is a second-level protected animal or a first-level protected animal, when people have no food and are on the verge of starvation, they can eat it."
"It's just that this 'on the verge of starving to death' state is difficult to identify, and generally very few people encounter this situation."
"Of course, my current situation is not a crisis. I will definitely not touch these snow chickens."
After hearing Ning Fei's words, netizens nodded frequently.
Some people couldn't help but complain:
"I feel that Ning Guanzhu is not only not in a crisis state, but also in a relaxed state."
"That's right. I'm convinced that I can still be so calm in the uninhabited desert of the Kunlun Mountain Plateau without any luggage."
"If I had called the police, I would have called the rescue team."
It doesn't take long for the fish meat to gradually turn from pink and tender to charred, which means the meat is cooked.
Just now at Tianchi Lake, Ning Fei specially scraped some white crystal-like things from the rocks on the shore.
Those are natural salts.
This Tianchi is not a completely fresh water lake. Most of the lakes on the plateau are salt water lakes, so there is plenty of salt.
Ning Fei spread the salt on the fish and continued to flip and bake it, allowing the fish oil mixed with salt water to penetrate into the fish.
Then, he looked at the snow chickens playing in the snow and ate grilled fish, which felt comfortable.
After eating the grilled fish, Ning Fei felt very warm in his body. He put out the fire, covered the wood with snow, and looked into the distance.
It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon now.
It gets dark very quickly in winter.
"Gotta find a place to live."
"The temperature is too low at night, which is quite dangerous if you don't have a place to live."
Ning Fei took out his phone, enlarged the map, and checked the map.
He has a good sense of direction and is a good map reader.
"I went up the mountain from here, and came down from here after the avalanche. The dragon's position is here."
Ning Fei pointed at the map and gestured.
"The distance is not too far. If you rush there, you can get there in about three or four hours."
"It seems that I really have to spend the night in Dalong's lair tonight."
