Probably the scene yesterday of those children lying on the splintered ice, and even almost being swallowed directly by the ice hole, really impressed Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan, even though the two of them were still enjoying skating on the ice today. , but it has restrained itself a lot.
The most obvious change is that the two of them were like three fools on the sleigh, and the entire ice surface was not enough for the two of them to have fun.
But today, the two of them only played in the area where Su Qingluan dug the ice cave and the area near the shore. Other places that were farther away, especially those near the center of the river, they absolutely did not dare to go.
Even when two people were gliding on the ice, they would stop and lean over to check the ice from time to time, just for fear that there would suddenly be a crack in the ice that would swallow them in.
Su Qingluan saw this but did not specifically stop it, or clearly told the two that there was no great danger in the area, and there were no conditions for clearing the ditch, so the ice would not break like yesterday.
After all, in such natural conditions, whether doing necessary field work or simply playing, it is always better to maintain a certain degree of vigilance. She didn't want her brother and sister to completely lose their vigilance - after all, no one could guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen in the natural environment.
Letting his brother and sister play near the shore behind him, Su Qingluan quickly found the place where the ice hole was made yesterday - although there was a layer of ice there, you could still see the glimmering of fine water. come out.
The ice here is much thinner than in other places. Su Qingluan doesn't even need to spend too much effort to destroy the ice with an ice pick. He only needs to smash it twice with a slightly larger stone to break the fragile ice surface that has just been formed again. , then it shattered again with a "click" sound, revealing the sparkling water underneath.
Su Qingluan was still not in a hurry to catch fish. He first broke up the leftover coarse-grain pancakes from yesterday's meal at home, mixed them with yesterday's fish offal and stirred them into "fish food" and spread them in the water area, making a nest first. .
At this time, she heard her sister behind her laughing and screaming: "Sister, I can't stop, help me!"
Su Qingluan turned around and saw that her sister was sitting on the ice like a top, spinning and gliding towards him, and quickly took a few steps forward to close her legs.
Then the sister, who was spinning like a top, bumped into her leg, stopped, looked up at Su Qingluan's face from above, and laughed.
Su Qingluan picked up her sister and asked her to play with Su Xuanhe again. Then she looked down at her new pair of spiked shoes - due to Su Guangfu's modification, they were another pair of stronger straw sandals with added spikes.
And in order to make the nail shoes fit better with the shoes originally worn on the feet, Su Guangfu's pair of straw sandals are not only similar to the modern "one" shaped slippers, but the toes are woven into a "straw" "Cage", with loose and adjustable shoelaces at the back, so Su Qingluan can adjust the position of the shoelaces according to the different conditions of each pair of shoes.
In this way, the fit of the straw sandals is greatly increased, and the flexibility and grip are also improved, making them more convenient to use than the previous pair.
Every quarter of an hour or so, Su Qingluan would cast bait. After four or five times, Su Qingluan felt that time was almost up, so he began to cast the net.
However, she is not very urgent. After all, three fish were caught in the net yesterday. Even if there is no decent harvest today, the Su family will not be hungry. However, the original plan of grilling fish may be shelved - after all, three fish , and they are not particularly big fish, not enough to share among five people.
However, probably because her mentality was relaxed, Su Qingluan was particularly lucky today. Not only did three carps come online that were at least as long as her palm, but there was even a grass carp that was almost as long as her arm and a crucian carp that was as long as her forearm!
This is a complete surprise!
However, the unexpected joy also means that it is really necessary to work harder when closing the net. Su Qingluan couldn't help but feel lucky that there were no other larger fish in the net when the grass carp entered the net. Otherwise, with her current strength, she might have to All the fish were put back into the water.
Su Qingluan wiped the cold water on his face after being rewarded by the grass carp's tail, and looked sideways at Su Xuanhe, who was obviously very tired: "Aren't you always very powerful? When you use your strength, it is useless."
"I...I'm already exerting my strength!" Su Xuanhe took a few deep breaths, "And I don't have sister's nail shoes today that can stand firmly on the ice. It's not easy to prevent the fish from running away. Got it!"
"Humph, brother is energetic again now. I didn't know who it was just now. He kept saying 'I can't pull it anymore' and I almost cried." The little girl became more and more venomous and unforgiving - it was obvious that she and her parents were There is still a little angel in front of me, but in the quarrels with my brother, I have gradually mastered the skill of poisonous tongue, and I am almost self-taught.
The catch was enough, even more than expected, so Su Qingluan didn't want to be greedy and packed up his things to go home - it was getting dark very early now. If it was dark, it would be difficult to walk on such a road with floating snow. Some trouble.
The three of them laughed and quarreled all the way, and unknowingly arrived at the spot where they discovered the cracks in the ice yesterday - tiny pieces of ice had regenerated where the cracks had originally occurred, but there were no children playing on it anymore.
Su Xueyan seemed to have some lingering fears. Although she had been having fun today, she was still a little scared at this time: "Sister, won't the place where we stay today crack like this?"
Su Qingluan smiled and shook her head: "As long as the weather is still this cold, it will not crack like this easily, but there are signs before the ice cracks."
Su Xuanhe came over curiously after hearing this: "What's the omen?"
"Look at this ice layer." Su Qingluan took his younger brother and sister closer to the shore so that they could see the ice layer near the shore more clearly. "You squat down and take a look. There are tiny particles in the ice layer now." The lines and bubbles are arranged horizontally, and the ice surface at this time is relatively solid."
When the two little guys heard this, they quickly squatted down to observe the ice surface - and sure enough, it was just like what Su Qingluan said.
"But if the temperature rises, these small cracks will become vertically arranged, and the ice surface will become 'crispy' at this time. Even if the ice layer is very thick, you cannot easily step on it, otherwise it will be dangerous."
This is why she chooses to go ice fishing when the temperature drops, rather than in early spring after the harsh winter - at that time, even if the ice layer is very thick, it is easy to cause danger due to the "crispy" ice layer.
