After the stone burns red, it will continue to dissipate heat. Even if it is in ice water, it will be difficult to cool down after a while.
The place Jiang Xuan chose was not in the middle of the river, but at a bend of the river, relatively close to the shore, and the ice was about a foot thick.
"Gudong!"
As time passed, the ice surface gradually became dented by the hot stones. At a certain moment, a large stone fell directly into the river.
Then, other stones fell into the river one after another.
Jiang Xuan pointed to a place not far away and said: "Follow this method and make more ice holes!"
"good!"
Although I don’t know why Jiang Xuan wanted to make an ice hole, everyone was very enthusiastic about the work. Undo and others immediately went over to melt the second ice hole.
Chi Shao stood next to Jiang Xuan and asked curiously: "Are these holes made for fishing?"
Jiang Xuan was using a sharp stone to dig a wider hole in the ice. When he heard Chi Shao's question, he turned around and said, "It's not fishing, it's catching fish."
"Fishing?" Chi Shao felt confused.
"Yes, just use the rattan basket to catch the fish directly."
Jiang Xuan's words made Chi Shao feel very incredible. Is the fish that stupid? If you just use a rattan basket to catch them, won't they run away?
However, her doubts did not last long, as there was sudden movement in the ice cave.
"Crash..."
A big fish suddenly jumped out of the water. After leaving the water, it opened a pair of transparent wings, glided for a moment, and then fell to the ice with a "chirp".
"flying fish!"
Jiang Xuan screamed in surprise. This kind of fish was exactly the fish that entered the trap and then flew away when he first set up the fishing trap. He was so angry at that time.
Later, he set up many traps, but he never caught this kind of fish again, which was a big regret in his heart.
He never expected that he would encounter a flying fish jumping out under such circumstances today.
"Pa bang bang..."
The flying fish that landed on the ice flapped its tail in panic, but it was not a bird after all. Its wings could only be used for gliding and could not really take it into the sky.
"Haha, you can't run away this time!"
Jiang Xuan walked over in surprise and grabbed the flying fish, not giving it a chance to escape again.
There are many sharp bone spurs on the flying fish, including the transparent wing tips. Jiang Xuan quickly learned his lesson after being stung twice.
He directly lifted the wings of the flying fish and held the softer body of the fish underneath with both hands, so that he would not be stung.
This flying fish was very big and heavy to hold. Jiang Xuan estimated it could weigh more than ten kilograms. It was also very powerful when struggling.
Jiang Xuan happily put it into a rattan basket with a lid, and closed the lid of the rattan basket.
Chi Shao, the nearby Teng tribe members, and the tourists were so shocked that they couldn't even speak after seeing this flying fish.
However, this is just the beginning, the next scene is enough to make everyone crazy!
"Crash..."
There was a lot of movement in the river under the ice cave.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Immediately afterwards, flying fish rushed out of the water one after another. They spread their wings like a large flock of birds, gliding in the air, and finally landed on the ice.
This scene is very rare. Where have the tribesmen seen this?
"Pa bang bang..."
Dozens of plump flying fish flapped their tails on the ice, and everyone in the Vine tribe went crazy.
"Quick, catch them!"
Uncaria shouted, then excitedly rushed towards the nearest flying fish.
Others were not willing to lag behind. Even if they slipped on the ice, they did not care and rushed towards the flying fish.
"Food, food!"
Jingjie held a flying fish in his hands, and his whole body trembled with excitement. At this moment, he didn't know why, but he wanted to cry.
When Feiyu jumped out on his own initiative, Jingjie's worried heart was finally relieved. Jiang Xuan didn't lie to him. Sure enough, he had a way to get a lot of food in winter.
The emotions of the tourists were obviously out of control. Some were holding the flying fish and crying, while others were holding the flying fish and laughing.
At this moment, no one laughed at them, because including Jiang Xuan, they felt as if they were dreaming.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
However, this was not over yet. More flying fish rushed out from the hole in the ice. They spread their wings, gracefully flew through the air, and then landed on the ice.
"Quickly, put all these flying fish into rattan baskets and move them back to the tribe!"
Jiang Xuan shouted, and everyone reacted, and then quickly put the flying fish into the rattan basket.
Soon, all the rattan baskets they brought were filled!
After those flying fish left the water, they could not be tossed for long, and they were quickly frozen to a solid state. They were piled one by one in the rattan basket, which looked very pleasant.
Jiang Xuan said to Chi Shao: "Sister, take them to carry the fish back first and put it away before coming back!"
"good!"
Chi Shao immediately carried a rattan basket on her back. Although she was already a witch, she was never ambiguous when working and did not let others help.
They carried baskets of fish back to the tribe. The tourists who stayed in the tribe went crazy when they saw so many fish and wanted to lie on the fish and kiss them.
This river is relatively remote and there are no tribes nearby that are good at fishing, so the fish resources are extremely rich.
Those flying fish were just the first fish to come out. Soon, more fish gathered near the ice hole, some jumped out of the water, and some opened and closed their mouths in the water to breathe air.
Jiang Xuan led some people to fish up the fish desperately, while others carried the fish back to the tribe in rattan baskets like ants.
This crazy scene lasted for a long time before gradually fading away.
There are fewer fish swimming to the ice cave, but the number of fish stored in the Vine Tribe has reached an astonishing amount.
Jiang Xuan finally stopped. He placed a few branches where there were ice holes to mark them, and then allowed the ice holes to refreeze.
"With this much fish and the stored food, we should be able to eat it for a long time."
Jiang Xuan returned to the bamboo house and felt very satisfied looking at the mountains of fish.
Of course, he knew very well that the reason for today's grand occasion was that the fish in the river had not been caught before and there were too many.
If you do it a few more times, it will become difficult to "pick up fish" directly like today.
Jiang Xuan does not intend to fish in the river. After overcoming the difficulties this winter, he plans to open more ponds and raise more fish instead of fishing all the time in the river.
He even thought about trying to raise his own fry in the future. If he could succeed, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of fish to eat.
In the evening, Jiang Xuan carried two big flying fish to the house where the old witch lived and gave these fish to him to eat.
"Is it possible to fish in such heavy snow?"
The old witch felt a little unbelievable, but with the facts before him, he couldn't help but not believe it.
He couldn't help but sigh again, this vine tribe can always bring surprises to people.
The old witch curiously asked Jiang Xuan how they caught the fish. Jiang Xuan only said that he accidentally discovered that when the ice was cut open in winter, the fish would jump out on their own.
After hearing this, the old witch was amazed again. He felt that Jiang Xuan had hidden many secrets, but he did not go into details.
Having lived to his age, he has seen a lot of strange things, and he understands that not everything can be understood thoroughly.
That night, everyone in the Teng tribe ate freshly caught big fish, and the tourists also had a rare meal.
As for the uneaten fish, in this cold weather, there is no need to worry about spoilage, you can keep it and eat it slowly.
