Chapter 4 Why Is It So Difficult to Start a Fire

"Then what?"

Huang Xiaochen scratched his head and asked.

"follow me!"

Waving at them, Wang Yu took the lead and walked along the shore.

Flathead Lake is known as the cleanest lake in the world. Its water quality is clear and pure. When the light is bright, people can easily see the bottom of the lake 5 meters deep.

There are many cold-water fish living in the lake, such as white frogfish, black-spotted pike, etc. During this season, cold-water fish are hiding at the bottom of the relatively warm lake, but Huang Xiaochen and the others are still stupidly standing in the shallow water and beating them with wooden sticks. Fish, thanks to his thinking.

"In this lake, there are the most white frogfish. This kind of fish likes to stay in deep water. If you stand in shallow water near the shore, how can you catch fish?"

As Wang Yu walked, he complained about Huang Xiaochen and the others, while Xu Tongyao covered his mouth and snickered.

Huang Xiaochen withdrew his lips and asked, "Then how to catch fish? The lake is too cold, so you can't swim to the deep water to catch fish?"
At this moment, Wang Yu, who was walking along the shore, suddenly stopped. Under his feet in front of him, there was a piece of emerald green plants, which seemed to have just sprouted and grown. .

Such similar plants are everywhere, and they will not attract people's attention at all. Only a few local people know the usefulness of these plants. Wang Yu squatted down, pulled off a lot of young leaves in his hands, and then explained with a smile:
"This kind of grass with star-shaped leaves is called salmon grass by the local people. It belongs to side-water plants and only appears on lakes or stream shoals. They are one of the favorite foods of whitefish, so local anglers love to eat them. Or, when fishing for whitefish here, the leaves of salmon grass are crushed and mixed into the bait."

"Yuyu, shall we go fishing? But it takes time to make fishing gear, and it will be dark soon."

Xu Tongyao looked at the young leaves in his hands and said thoughtfully.

Wang Yu shook his head and explained: "No, fishing is too slow. You may not know that salmon grass is very attractive to whitefish. In winter, fish huddle at the bottom of the lake where it is relatively warm, and algae are scarce.

Therefore, whitefish can only rely on the fat stored in autumn to survive. At this time, if a large amount of salmon grass is sprinkled in the lake, it is tantamount to a dying traveler in the desert seeing an oasis. "

"Fuck, is that an exaggeration?"

Huang Xiaochen's face was full of doubts, and he obviously didn't believe that these seemingly ordinary grasses could have such a strong effect.

Seeing his doubtful look, Wang Yu stopped explaining and said with a smile:
"Whether it works or not, you will know if you try it. You pick more salmon grass, smash the leaves and sprinkle them into shallow water."

Although doubts are doubts, they are very clear about Wang Yu's professionalism in the wilderness, so they squatted on the ground and started picking salmon grass without talking nonsense.

The five people worked together, and quickly picked a small pile of salmon grass leaves. Then, under Wang Yu's guidance, they smashed the leaves, like fishing bait, and sprinkled them in the shallow water in front of them.

After the emerald green salmon grass fragments entered the lake, they quickly dispersed and sank to the bottom of the lake. Everyone stared at the clear lake with big eyes, and the atmosphere was very quiet.

After 1 minute, there was no movement as expected, let alone the whitefish, and there was not a single crab. Huang Xiaochen wondered: "Where are the fish? It seems that the eggs are useless!"

Wang Yu rolled his eyes, and said helplessly: "Are you stupid? It's only been less than a minute, how can it be so fast, the smell of salmon grass needs time to spread to the deep water area, just wait quietly for a while."

Everyone had to be patient and wait for the whitefish to be lured.

"coming!"

After waiting for a few more minutes, Xu Tongyao suddenly let out a soft cry.

In the crystal-clear lake water, a whitefish was attracted by the salmon grass and swam quickly from the deep water.

Seeing this scene, Huang Xiaochen was overjoyed, and was about to step forward with a wooden stick, but was stopped by Wang Yu, who lowered his voice and said:
"Don't worry, wait until it has completely entered the shallow water area. When fishing with a wooden stick, the speed must be fast and the force must be strong. In fact, it is not necessary to hit the fish directly, because the shock wave caused by the wooden stick hitting the water surface Strong enough to completely stun a fish."

Huang Xiaochen nodded silently to express his understanding, with an excited look on his face. He held the wooden stick tightly with both hands and stared unblinkingly at the white salmon approaching the shore in the water.

"quick!"

When the whitefish entered the shoal area and began to enjoy the salmon grass, Wang Yu suddenly opened his mouth. Hearing the reminder, Huang Xiaochen, without any hesitation, immediately waved the wooden stick and hit the water heavily.

"Bang bang bang!"

Five or six times in a row, the huge force caused countless splashes on the water surface, and when the water surface returned to calm, the whitefish had already been completely stunned by the continuous shock waves, floating on the water surface with its white belly turned over.

"Ha ha!"

Huang Xiaochen laughed loudly, and stepped into the lake excitedly, completely ignoring the cold lake water, and tightly grasped the 20-centimeter-long whitefish in his hands.

At this moment, he only feels a huge sense of accomplishment, which rises from the bottom of his heart. This feeling has never been felt before. It is better than when he brushed a thousand rockets in the live broadcast room and was kneeled and licked by others. This is the charm of survival in the wilderness. , Huang Xiaochen is now completely immersed in it.

"Good job! Keep working hard, I'll go see how the other two groups are doing?"

Wang Yu patted his shoulder, and after a few words of encouragement, he turned and walked towards the camp.

As long as they follow their own methods, it is very easy to catch at least 20 whitefish before dark.

After returning to the jungle, he found that the camp was almost completed. The four water friends used daggers to cut many branches and leaves, and covered the frame with a thick layer of dead leaves inside, which made it look very warm.

Nodding in satisfaction, Wang Yu came to the fire-making group again. At this time, the two girls, Guo Xinxin and Li Ruru, looked very embarrassed, especially Guo Xinxin, whose white, tender and cute face was black and gray, stained and stained.

The two little girls didn't notice that Wang Yu had come to them. They were still concentrating on holding the kindling and blowing into it.

Guo Xinxin puffed out her small mouth and kept blowing, but the firelight did not emit thick smoke like Wang Yu's live broadcast, and finally ignited, but the smoke became smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely.

"Why is it so difficult to start a fire!"

Guo Xinxin threw the fire starter on the ground and roared angrily.

Guo Xinxin originally thought that making a fire was a very simple matter, especially in the show, seeing Wang Yu easily light up a bonfire every time, but when he tried it himself, he always failed inexplicably.
