Chapter 52 Fish Hunting

Zhou Xirui quickly asked the two young men to divide the sheep into two pieces. For fear that they would not be strong, he hung it on the hook himself and let the hook be buried deeply in the meat of the sheep. Then throw the sheep off the boat, and the other rope is put on a pulley and connected to a winch, so that if the monster is hooked, it will be much easier to collect the rope. After all, the steel rope is not very soft and too thick.

After the mutton went down, the sound of water swaying under the water was around the mutton thrown down, but the float did not move. Zhou Xirui thought that this showed that the monster's IQ was not low. It knew that it was a bait, but it was attracted by the smell of blood and still refused to give up and was still waiting for the test. But it's bad news. This water monster is a carnivore, so if you want to figure it out, the risk factor must be very high.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the sound of water disappeared. Xiao Pei asked Zhou Xirui, "Has the water monster left?" Zhou Xirui shook his head and thought for a moment and said to Acuo, "Brother, look here. If it floats down, you can call us. I'll help make mutton hot pot first." Acuo nodded with a smile and said, "Oi, you go!" Zhou Xirui took two steps and turned around assuredly, "Don't poke your head out of the boat and try to lean inside." Acuo nodded and took two steps in the middle of the deck and looked at the float from afar.

Zhou Xirui went to the back kitchen to help the boatman make seasonings. Xiaopei was very diligent and had been helping to choose dishes, because Zhou Xirui did not allow her to go to the boat. Everyone cleaned up the sheep entrails with a smile, cut them and threw them into the pot to cook. Zhou Xirui remembered that the locals in the Lao cottage said that wild green onions and wild ginger in it could remove the fishy smell. There were no wild ones here, but it was not bad to buy them. He quickly cut the green onions and ginger and threw them into the pot. While looking forward to this pot of mutton, Acuo shouted outside, "Hurry up, get on the hook!" Hurry up, it's floating down!"

Everyone rushed to the deck. Sure enough, the float was sinking, but it floated up again. Zhou Xirui knew that the monster was trying. He waved his hand to signal everyone not to move and let a young man go to the cab and be ready to sail at any time. Another young man pulled the rope with himself and told Acuo to pull it quickly and pay attention to safety!

The test lasted for about half an hour, and the float suddenly sank, indicating that the bait had been eaten. Zhou Xirui quickly pulled the winch, and the other two also pulled the rope desperately. After a while, the rope straightened, which was amazing. The monster was in pain and desperately wanted to break free. The boat was suddenly pulled and tilted. Zhou Xirui was very scared and roared at the young man who drove the boat to drive the boat with full power. Only then can the power of the two sides basically reach a balance. The ship can't move forward, and the monster can't drag the boat.

After a few minutes of stalemate, the wire rope was broken. It turned out that the thin rope was not strong enough and was dragged off by the monster. With this pine, the boat jumped back and was almost overturned. Acuo didn't grasp it and was thrown into the water, which made Zhou Xirui very anxious. Fortunately, Acuo could swim and often went to the pond when he was at home, so he was not afraid of the water. He just thought of the monster in the water and felt like he was under his feet. He scared himself enough. Fortunately, the boat quickly leaned over. Zhou Xirui Pulling him into the boat, the two of them sat on the board and gasped with fear.

Xiao Pei heard Acuo fall into the water and ran out of it. Zhou Xirui saw her and roared her inside. The last time he lost Li Wen in Heitan, it has become a permanent nightmare for Zhou Xirui, and he doesn't want to lose anyone anymore.

After breaking the rope, the water monster dived into the deep water and didn't come up again. Zhou Xirui thought that the monster was hooked by a fish hook and such a long wire rope connected. Most of it would die tomorrow. If he could see its body if he died, he would know what it was. If he is not dead, he should use a new method. If it really doesn't work, Zhou Xirui wants to put on his diving suit and go down and have a look.

The next day, when Zhou Xirui and Acuo woke up. Yesterday, the tug-of-war with the monster was really exhausting and tired. In addition, they drank a lot of wine with the two young men on the boat. As soon as they drank, they drank more. Those two were Tuva people, and there was heroic blood flowing in their bones. Liquid, drinking alcohol is just like pouring. Zhou Xirui and Acuo admired their alcohol. Unconsciously, they also drank too much. Finally, when they got off the boat, two young men carried them back to the hotel.

After waking up, I went to Xiaopei's room and saw that she was not there. I guess she went to the boat. Zhou Xirui and Acuo got up and washed their faces and went straight to the boat. From afar, I saw Xiaopei fishing with a fishing rod on the boat. They quickly got on the boat. When Xiaopei saw them, he hurriedly called him over for dinner. Xiaopei would be very diligent and had already finished lunch. In order to make them sleep more, he was not willing to wake them up.

After eating, everyone hurriedly drove the boat to the Sandao Bay where they met the water monster. After stopping the boat, Zhou Xirui looked around. There was no trace of the monster, and there was no calm wave on the water. After waiting for two hours, there was still no movement on the lake. Zhou Xirui was a little anxious.

He and Atso were ready to put on their wetsuits and put on their oxygen cylinders on their backs to have a look, which scared Xiaopei and pulled them to refuse to let them go down. They smiled at Xiaopei and asked her to go into the boat and put on the life jacket. They were not allowed to come up to the deck, and smiled and comforted Xiaopei that she would come up in a while. Don't worry.

In fact, they are also beating drums in their hearts, but they can't show their inner fears in front of Xiaopei. They know their personality and will definitely do what they really want to do.

The two put on life jackets and night vision goggles, which allowed them to see the surrounding environment clearly under the dark water. Zhou Xirui did not forget to insert a sharp machete in his pocket, which was given by Aga, the Yi guide in Heizhugou last time. Zhou Xirui sharpened it extremely sharp and specially customized a beautiful knife. Sheath. Insert the oxygen tank on the back of the knife, take the underwater camera, turn your back to the surface, and turn back into the water.

After entering the water, they slowly sank to see some small fish swimming around. He looked at the endless darkness below, and there was a sense of floating in the water, as if walking in the universe. The two of them slowly fell. In the process of descent, except for the occasional fish swimming around, there was no shadow of the monster and felt empty. It slowly dropped by nearly 100 meters, and the pressure of water began to make the lungs uncomfortable. Zhou Xirui knew that he could no longer dive. This was the limit, otherwise the blood vessels would be crushed.

When he was signaling Acuo to float up, he suddenly saw two green and faint lights below. Zhou Xirui decided to continue to dive there. He pointed there and asked Acuo to come over. More than ten meters away, he saw a huge fish-shaped outline. Those two lights were the strange fish. Eyes. Oh my God! This thing is so big that you can swallow it with just one bite. Zhou Xirui's nerves have reached the limit, and he can't decompress and float up at once, otherwise he will float too fast and die quickly. Thinking about the experience mentioned in Zhang Yongkui's diary, animals generally see running prey and have an instinctive desire to chase. Thinking of this, don't run away in a hurry. Let's see where they can hide around first.

Looking down, there are some big stones next to the big fish. These stones stand alone in the water, which looks like an underwater stone forest.

Zhou Xirui let A Cuo and himself slowly swim into the gap of the stone pillar below, trying not to attract the attention of the big fish. But I felt that the big fish had been staring at him. It should have seen it. The strange thing was that it did not swim over, but stayed next to the big stone without moving at all. Zhou Xirui felt strange to look at the big fish, and the big fish's green eyes were also looking at him.

But those eyes are not fierce and predatory eyes, but make people feel pitiful eyes of prayer. Zhou Xirui and Acuo swam a short distance forward curiously. Only then did I see clearly that this big fish was the one I caught yesterday. When it broke the rope and dived down yesterday, the wire rope was too long to be twisted on these stone pillars and tied it firmly next to the big stone and could not move. It seems that it has been here for a long time. It closed its mouth and looked at itself pitifully. Zhou Xirui moved his compassion and decided to go and help it untie the rope. Atso understood the meaning of Zhou Xirui's gesture and waved his hand in a hurry, meaning not to go for fear of danger.

Zhou Xirui waved his hand to show that it didn't matter. He swam to the big fish, and A Cuo also followed. Good boy, this fish is like a huge underwater submarine with huge red spots on its back. No wonder the previous scientific research team said that it was a big red fish, but the appearance of this fish is not a Zheluo salmon, but like a dolphin in the ocean. However, freshwater dolphins have never seen red spots on their bodies, and they have never seen such a huge one. Is it an unknown new species? The two are a little excited.

This big guy's IQ feels comparable to that of dolphins. It sees them swimming over, screaming happily, and making a low "mour-" sound like a cow. He also gently rubbed Zhou Xirui's body with a huge head, making people feel like a puppy that only pleases its owner. Zhou Xirui reached out and patted it. S swimming to its mouth, the big fish immediately opened its mouth to cooperate with Zhou Xirui. Now it was clear that the hook was firmly hooked on the fish's throat. There was no one to help. The fish must be starved to death.
