Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 436: Goose Bird Returns!

In May, even in the always cold Arctic Circle, the frost gradually melted and penetrated into the ground, bringing endless vitality.

Bi Fang and Etienne were standing by the lake. At noon, the weather was not cold even in the Arctic Circle. They only wore a single coat, and each held a harpoon in their hands. Looking for today's lunch.

Why do I feel that you seem to have changed? Etienne looked at Bi Fang from time to time. It was dark yesterday, and Etienne didn't feel it, but looking at Bi Fang today, he always felt the same as in the live broadcast two days ago. not quite the same.

But I can't tell exactly where it's different, it seems...more handsome?

Maybe it's because I came down from Mount Everest to rest for two days, so I came back for nothing. Bi Fang didn't expect Etienne to be so sensitive, so he quickly changed the topic after a haha.

If you happen to be near water in the wilderness, fishing is an excellent way to get high protein, and you have a higher chance of getting something in water than catching land animals, just make a spear , even if you don’t have much experience, it will pay off if you try a few more times.”

Sure enough, after Bi Fang explained his experience in detail, Etienne, who was still very concerned about changes, put this matter behind him and listened carefully.

The two days of waiting for the geese were idle anyway, so Bi Fang simply took Etienne to go hunting nearby.

Originally, he set up traps to catch small animals, but after a busy morning with no results, Bi Fang turned to try simpler fishing methods.

Fish can be caught with a net, with a hook, with a harpoon or a noose, or even by hand. If you set a trap in a stream, you can still wait for the fish to swim into the trap by themselves. Do other work.

How do you catch it with your hands? Etienne asked curiously. The fish is very strong and its body is still sticky. If you use your hands, wouldn't it be easy to break free?

It depends on what kind of fish it is. In smaller lakes, or fish that move slowly can be caught by hand.

Scanning around, Bi Fang found a small palm-sized fish next to a rock. For demonstration purposes, he handed the harpoon to Etienne, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the small fish.

Bi Fang said slowly and in a low voice: First determine the position of the fish, use both hands to slowly and gently approach the bottom of the water, with one hand in the direction of the head and the other in the direction of the fish's tail, when it touches the body of the fish, quickly move the fish hold.

Etienne's eyes widened, staring at Bi Fang's hands that were inserted into the water little by little, almost no water waves came out, and they were very stable.

The fish exchanging air in the puddle didn't even notice that a pair of big hands had come behind it, and they moved to outflank it.

Bi Fang moves slowly but steadily, the expansion of the chest seems to disappear, and it looks like he is holding his breath.

When catching fish with your hands, the most taboo is impatience. You must slow down your breathing to avoid fluctuations in water patterns, because fish can sense changes in the surrounding water regime through the lateral line. Generally, there is a little trouble, and they will run away immediately.

When Bi Fang's left hand was behind the fish's tail, he quickly touched the fish's head with his right hand, and at a distance of less than half a palm, he struck out instantly and clasped the fish's body like lightning.

Bi Fang fished for a moon in the water and threw the fish directly on the shore.

The fish without the water environment can only jump and jump on the soil, but its life has long been out of control.

The fish has great strength, and if you don't pay attention, it is easy to be escaped by it, so if the water is relatively shallow, you can directly pull it to the shore, or knock it unconscious with a hard object such as a stone or wooden stick.

Some fish prefer to hide in holes at the bottom of the water. For example, catfish can reach into the holes to grab them. This kind of fish is more ferocious, with sharp teeth and will actively attack and bite people. But if you are not sure what is in the hole, don't worry. Adventure is recommended.

Étienne asked, Then how do you know what kind of fish it is?

Bi Fang straightened his waist, returned to the shore from the water and flicked the water: This is a test of basic knowledge. First of all, you need to know the approximate latitude and longitude of the common fish species distributed in the area, and also know the temperature and water environment. What are the active fish in the current season and what are the habits of many common fish? These are all tests of basic skills, which cannot be learned just by watching fishing once or twice.”

Knowledge is power. This sentence is applicable no matter where it is. Often, the more people who survive in the wilderness, the more subjects they are proficient in, and the deeper their understanding of various creatures.

Etienne nodded helplessly.

Bi Fang caught the fish on the shore, looked at it, and smiled: Hey, it's the bream. We're lucky.

The lakes in Finland are dense with water and grass, and the bream is the most abundant food fish in this environment, and it is also the easiest fish to catch besides the perch. Moreover, the spawning period of the bream is at the end of May and the beginning of June. , the meat is plump, and it is the heyday of shore fishing.

Etienne's eyes lit up, the meat is plump!

With the harvest, the enthusiasm for hunting quickly increased, and the fish were put into net bags, and the two continued to move forward, successfully catching a total of five breams before dinner.

Among them, Étienne even caught three of them. Of course, there is a reason why Bi Fang deliberately asked him to try.

In the next two days, Bi Fang and Etienne went out to hunt when they had nothing to do. From trap making to hunting skills, as well as some common animal knowledge, Etienne listened with gusto.

It's a pity that land animals are much harder to catch than aquatic creatures. For two consecutive days, he set traps based on the knowledge taught by Bi Fang but failed to catch the prey.

As for hunting in person, it is useless at all. Let alone rabbits within ten meters, twenty meters is enough.

When the rabbit is found, the rabbit often also finds him. The two look at each other in blank dismay, and then run away.

Bi Fang laughed loudly, and comforted him: Don't be discouraged, land creatures are not so easy to catch, otherwise, wouldn't there be powerful hunters everywhere? Knowledge is known, but it is very difficult to combine it with reality and use it skillfully.

Etienne sighed, but he wasn't too discouraged: Let's catch fish in the afternoon.

Étienne set his eyes on the lake, and suddenly his eyes lit up, pointing to the shimmering lake: Hey, look!

Etienne turned around a small angle, and sure enough, he saw a big fish under the lake.

It's a pike! The sharp-eyed Bi Fang immediately recognized what kind of fish it was, and immediately told Etienne to be careful, Pike has a fierce temperament.

Just as Bi Fang was about to make an introduction, Erwan turned on the computer in the distant caravan and was about to monitor the movements of the geese and birds, but the red dot just appeared, and the distance on the map was less than 100 kilometers!

Erwan and Lennon were stunned for a moment.

In the next second, Bi Fang and the two saw them running out of the RV excitedly and shouting at them.

Hey, come here, the geese are coming!
