Chapter 424: Camping in the Mountains
It didn't take Wu Liang much effort to persuade Mitt to basically do anything, Mitt who had seen the amount of food for the four people was eager to send away the four big stomachs quickly, otherwise it might not be enough to put all the meager room fees earned into the food expenses, and she didn't want to do a loss-making business, she agreed almost as soon as Wu Liang made a request, and introduced several places with good scenery in a row, and the meaning between the words was to let Wu Liang and his party live in the mountains for as many days as possible.
Although he was dissatisfied with Mitte's general attitude of "sending the plague god", after all, he went down according to his own will, but it was really difficult to hold his breath in his heart, so he had to endure it like this.
A group of five people set out on the road into the mountain with a backpack full of bottled water, tents, simple kitchen utensils and seasonings.
From Xiaojie's mouth, I learned that the climate of Whale Island is more inclined to a subtropical climate, the temperature on the island is maintained above 25 degrees Celsius for most of the year, and the high temperature is accompanied by precipitation, the humid oceanic climate brings abundant rain to the island, on average every three days will experience a precipitation process, to the typhoon season precipitation is even more amazing, the highest rainfall in a single day and one night has set a record of 700 millimeters, in general, it is relatively close to the reality of China's Hainan Province.
The abundant precipitation makes Whale Island densely covered with large and small lakes and rivers, and the west of the island is also the lowest part of the island, and the rainwater collects into a large swamp, (the swamp fish spirit lives here!). The Neon people don't like to eat freshwater fish, (it's not that they don't eat it, but they eat relatively little, and the types of food are relatively small, and the few kinds of food that can generally be accepted by the public are sweetfish, salmon, eel, and loach.) Crucian carp and carp with a fishy smell are rarely eaten, and the way to eat them is also more strange, they are either salted or fermented, and they don't even let go of blood, don't pull out the scale line, and they actually put a lot of sugar when they stew fish. Fish activity can be seen in any large puddle, and it looks like you don't have to worry about the ingredients for a few days of camping.
The road into the mountain is very difficult to walk, except for a short section of gravel road before entering the mountain, and then go inside there is no road at all, a group of people can only carry a heavy backpack through the mountains and forests, fortunately, both Xiaojie and Wu Liang are relatively fast physique supermen, even if there is a backpack in the body will not affect the speed.
After about three hours of walking through the mountains and forests, we arrived at the first place recommended by Mitte, ---- very exquisite "Lake Sayama", which is said to have been a quarry in the village a few years ago, but was abandoned after the local residents moved to the port town and the demand for stone gradually decreased.
Because the mining time is short, the lake is not deep, the average depth is only about one meter, and the bottom of the lake is hard stone silt is very small, so the lake water is very clear, and you can see the aquatic plants growing from the rock peaks at the bottom of the lake and the swimming fish swimming slowly in the lake, which is indeed a good place for fishing and camping. (It is often said that when the water is clear, there are no fish.) However, instead of being a stagnant pool, Lake Sasama is a collection of several small rivers, and due to the slow flow of the lake, there is a lot of food, so it attracts a lot of freshwater fish to feed. )
There is a high and flat hard land by the lake that can be used as a campsite, and the previous tourists also left a fire pit surrounded by large stones that can be used to make a fire for cooking, and it can also reduce the probability of fire to a certain extent, saving Wu Liang a lot of trouble.
Don't look at Xiaojie is a seven-year-old child, but it is very inappropriate for him to live in a tent with himself, Sakura, and Poison Island, (the tent can't accommodate five people!) And Xiaojie's guy actually only brought a blanket up the mountain, and if he wanted to brush up his favor, he couldn't leave him outside, so Wu Liang could only set up two tents side by side, and he took Xiaojie to sleep in a tent by the woods in case of an attack by wild beasts, and it was safer for the three girls to sleep in the tent inside.
According to common sense, the place near the water source is also a place where all kinds of small animals often haunt, but this common sense is a little unreasonable on Whale Island, after all, there are too many water sources, and the locations where small animals appear will inevitably be more scattered.
It was a very easy thing for Wu Liang to set up a tent, don't look at it as two in a row, but it didn't take long to have three women to help, sweeping away the gravel, sprinkling snake repellents, insect pesticides, laying moisture-proof mats, tent unfolding, supporting keels, nailing ......, only twenty minutes later, two tents were erected with the cooperation of two people.
While Wu Liang and others were working tacitly, Xiaojie did not wait, pulled out a large pile of dried firewood in advance from the hole of a big tree next to him, and put it neatly in the fire pit, and then took out the fishing rod that was elastic enough to make people doubt his life and sat on the lake to catch fish, just waiting for the fish to take the bait and start cooking lunch.
Wu Liang, who hadn't fished for a long time, couldn't help but feel a little itchy when he saw this, and after handing over the kitchen utensils and seasonings to the three of Sakura, he also sat down by the lake with Mazha, and took out a seven-meter-long hand rod from his backpack to have a good time.
Although he wanted to enjoy it, Wu Liang did not rush to start, took out his 10,000-year-old nesting base ---- scallion oil-flavored compressed biscuits, crushed them and threw them into the lake to attract fish to eat, and the fish hook was not hung with the usual pasta, but a few worms found from the dead tree trunks when cleaning the ground.
Compared with the compressed biscuit crumbs with a lot of artificial flavors, these natural worms are the common food of fish in the lake, and the wriggling worms are particularly obvious in the water, and Wu Liang's hand is very rhythmically shaking the fishing rod to make the worms look more delicious in the eyes of the fish, and the fish bite the hook in less than a minute when the bait sinks into the water.
The originally loose fishing line was instantly tightened, and Wu Liang, who was holding the fishing rod tightly, saw that the fish had already bitten the hook, so he quickly lifted the fishing rod up, "Wow!" With a bang, a crucian carp the size of a palm flew out of the water with the line.
If you want to say who is the most excited after the fish, it is naturally Alice's little Lori, seeing that she jumped to Wu Liang's side in an instant, and pressed the plate carp with both hands on the grass about three or two times in surprise: "Ahhh Big brother caught a fish, it's amazing! ”
"I still have a fishing rod in my bag, so if I want to play by myself, I can sit down with a stool and fish together!" Reaching out to take off the hook in the mouth of the crucian carp and throwing it into the fish guard, Wu Liang greeted the three of them, Xiao Lori, Sakura, and Poison Island.
Little Lori had just arrived, and when she heard that she had the opportunity to go down in person, she couldn't help cheering: "Long live, I'm going to play ...... together!" ”
