Chapter 539: The Oriole Is Behind
"Well, with a little effort, we can dig an ice hole here, and then find a lot of fresh meat and hot broth from this ice hole." Liu Gan smiled, He himself is craving some roast meat now, and some broth, and the birds are fading out of his mouth from eating those compressed foods.
When he came out of the liaison station, Liu Qian found some very strong silk threads, and also took some iron wire belts from the wire bed, and they all came in handy at this time. He made fishhooks out of these wires, hooked them with fatty rabbit meat from rabbits, threaded all the hooks together with silk thread, and tied some small stones he had collected earlier to the front end of the thread. Then put the small stones with strings into the dug ice hole, and slowly hang down.
Several hooks are tied to a silk thread, so that fish at various depths under the ice can be caught.
As long as there is water, there are fish, and even if the top is covered with ice and snow, there will still be unfrozen water at the bottom of the lake. With such a big lake, there must be many kinds of fish in the lake. They are also very hungry now, and they will definitely like the fat rabbit meat on the fishhook, which can provide a lot of energy for their bodies.
The water in the ice lake is very deep, and the fishing line was pulled in before the rocks bottomed out. Liu Gan asked the team members to cut down some branches, and the other end of the rope was tied to a long branch, so there is no need to worry The line was pulled away by the hooked fish inside.
"Is it possible to catch fish? Will there be fish soup soon?" Guo Tian and Zhang Mengdi looked at the ice cave expectantly.
"Not so fast. We need to dig a lot of ice holes like this to find enough food from them. But the ice hole is not finished yet, and some branches need to be stuffed into the ice hole. Now it's snowing again, the ice hole It is easy to refreeze and freeze, once the ice hole refreezes and freezes the fishing line, even if we catch fish, we can’t get it out.” Liu Gan said and stuffed some branches with leaves into the ice hole inside.
"I learned a lot from Master Liu again!" Guo Tian had a very convinced expression on his face. If it wasn't for Liu Gan, he would never have thought that he could use this method to find meat to eat here.
After making the first ice hole for fishing. Liu Gan dug more than ten such ice caves at intervals of several meters nearby. Every ice cave had a fishing line hanging down, and then they left with everyone. With so many fishhooks, it is impossible for too many fish to take the bait in a short while, and it is meaningless to stay here.
Taking advantage of the fact that the wind and snow were not too heavy, Liu Gan decided to go back and reorganize and strengthen the camp. If the wind and snow were too big, the current snow shed of the camp might not be able to withstand the attack of the snowstorm. Everyone will be freezing tonight.
The main purpose of strengthening the camp is to use the nearby snow to build a thick snow wall around the camp with a wide bottom and a narrow top, and then cut down more branches and tie them firmly to the four trees around the camp. The tree was covered layer by layer. As long as the branches used for the roof were not blown away by the storm, everyone would not be exposed to the snowstorm.
After finishing all this work, the wind and snow did not get bigger, but tended to weaken. Just as Liu Gan was about to check whether the ice lake had caught fish, two eagles appeared in the sky, circling and singing high in the sky.
"It seems that there is not only fish to eat today." Liu Qian couldn't help being very happy when he looked up and saw the two eagles.
"Master Liu. Is there a way to knock down and eat those two eagles?" Guo Tian also looked at the two eagles above his head, after hearing Liu Qian's words. He reckoned that Liu Gan must have had their idea.
"They are flying too high, more than a hundred meters above the ground. I can't shoot them down without Mr. He around." Liu Gan shook his head and continued to observe the two eagles above his head .
"Then why are you so happy, Master Liu?" Guo Tian then asked Liu Gan in a strange way.
"They are circling and singing above our heads, not for fun here, but looking for food just like us. Moreover, they fly so high, and their eagle eyes have exceptionally good vision. The singing just now is clearly looking for food. We have found a suitable prey. We are calling our companions to prepare for hunting. As long as we pay attention to the direction of their flight and observation, we should be able to catch the prey they want to hunt before them. It must be a big meal." Liu Gan said and ran in a certain direction.
Others also ran over, everyone was idle, this is a great opportunity to learn snow hunting skills from Liu Gan, who knows when they will be able to use it?
Following the flight paths of the two eagles and the direction they were looking at, the willow stem crossed the snow-covered woods, and at the end of the woods, they finally found a line of footprints that were not very obvious. It seemed that the two eagles in the sky It is very likely that the eagle is looking at the owner of this set of footprints.
"Looks like the footprints of a snow wolf! If it didn't mutate, catching it would be a feast! The two eagles in the sky should not be looking at it, but the prey it is hunting." Liu Gan pointed to the ground He analyzed the footprints of Guo Tian and others who followed him.
"Haha, now it's really praying mantises catching cicadas, and the oriole is behind... No, Master Liu is behind. Wherever Master Liu is, let's see who dares to compete with us for food!" Guo Tian was very excited and happy.
"It is likely that the snow wolf and the eagle hunted a rabbit, but that rabbit is not enough for us to eat. What we need now is this snow wolf. As long as we catch it, we will have a big meal today. It's over!" Liu Qian almost made a judgment.
"We should be able to find the snow wolf by following these footprints, right?" Guo Tian asked Liu Gan.
"Yes, but let's not talk anymore, so as not to disturb it." Liu Gan made a silent gesture, and then followed the footprints and walked forward.
Ten minutes later, around a rocky corner, Liu Gan saw the snow wolf at the end of the footprints. It was indeed an unmutated snow wolf, and that snow wolf was indeed catching a rabbit, but the rabbit escaped cleverly and hid in a nearby snow cave. The snow wolf scratched the snow-covered ground but couldn't get into the rabbit hole, so he guarded outside the rabbit hole unwillingly, wanting to wait for the rabbit to come out.
Liu Gan originally planned to wait until the snow wolf caught the rabbit, and then he could get a rabbit for nothing, but after waiting for a few minutes, there was no movement in the rabbit hole, but the snow wolf was a little impatient and wanted to leave up. (to be continued ~^~)
