Chapter 167 Catching Fish
Nobita and I saw that thing almost at the same time and were stunned.
Then Nobita looked at me with inquiring eyes...
I nodded, indicating that what he saw was not hallucinations.
Nobita put down the fishing net in his hand, picked up the fine steel chisel next to him, and strode behind the tree.
I looked back and saw that Liang Qian was still playing with Terni. I didn't move. I picked up the shovel next to me and followed her.
Nobita's pace is relatively fast, and the snow is not so big. Every time his huge body steps on the snow, it will make a creak, but the sound is not loud.
Nobita came to the tree where the shadow disappeared in three or two steps, and then disappeared behind the trunk of the giant tree held by the two.
Then he didn't make any sound.
I hurriedly followed, and after turning to the tree, I saw Nobita squatting on the ground, looking at something.
I leaned over, and Nobita turned around and said, "It seems that some animal has walked through here just now. It's very fast."
Hearing what he said, I also squatted down and looked at it. Sure enough, there was a string of marks on the ground, not footprints, a bit like scratches left by people kicking the snow while walking.
I twisted a pinch of snow covering those traces and smelled it in front of my nose, but there was no smell.
If it is a wolf, snow fox or reindeer, it should have a smell, but it is not here at all.
However, judging from the scale of these traces, it should not be a big animal, so there will be no threat.
I told Nobita what I thought, and Nobita nodded and walked back with me.
When we left just now, it was obvious that Liang Qian also found out. As soon as we walked back, she asked us where we had gone.
In order not to let her think too much, especially not to scare little Lori, we said we were going to pee.
Liang Qian looked at us with suspicious eyes and said, "It's cold. The day is very short. You have to work hard."
I nodded and walked to the ice with Nobita, walking about 50 or 60 meters in the direction of the center of the lake.
Under the ice under our feet, the fish population gradually increased, but these salmon were obviously also alert, and the weak vibration caused by their footsteps scared them into the water.
It feels wonderful that people walk on the ice and fish swim close to the soles of your feet.
Nobita and I chose a place with thick ice around us, and then took out the old-fashioned mine lamp prepared in advance.
We are not in a hurry to make holes in the ice, because I want to see how the fish react when they see the light first.
So we put things aside and sat down around the mine lamp.
Looking back, Liang Qian was weaving grasshoppers for Tenny with weeds by the lake. I had a lot of fun, so I took out the oral book and continued to read it.
And Daxiong also found something to do for himself, and he didn't feel cold. He put his face against the ice and looked into the lake to see if there were any fish approaching.
He looked at it for a while and asked me, "Chuanzi, do you think I'm so angry at the ice surface that I will thaw the ice and we will fall down and drown?"
I didn't want to answer such a childish question, so I didn't say anything and continued to read.
After a while, Nobita asked me again, "Tagawako, do you think it's not dark and the fish can't see the lamp, so they don't come?"
I shook my head helplessly and said, "If you are a fish and see a bear looking at them, will you come?" Get up quickly and don't scare the fish away.
This time it was Nobita's turn to ignore me, and he still lay on the ice and looked around.
Three black lines appeared on my forehead and continued to read my book.
After a while, Nobita finally got up from the ice, rubbed his hands and scolded, "It's really cold. I didn't expect it to be frozen on the ice this night. If I had known it, I would have put on my ice skates at home. When you were in high school, your grandfather was still very thin, claiming to be the ice prince. With his slippery ability, he has soaked up many girls, known as the little prince on the ice.
I really can't imagine what Nobita looked like when he was thin. His mind was full of fat Nobita's slippery buttocks. He couldn't help sneering and said, "If you want to talk about anime characters, the little prince on the ice is not suitable for you, but the unlucky bear is quite similar to you."
Nobita rubbed his red nose and said unconvincedly, "Have you heard that every fat man has potential? Don't underestimate me."
When Daxiong saw that I ignored him again, he looked at the lake, and then suddenly said, "Why did Liang Qian and that little girl disappear!"
When I heard this, I hurriedly turned around and didn't see them, but after looking at them for a while, I found that two snowballs flew from behind the big trees from time to time. It seemed that the two had a snowball fight.
Nobita obviously saw it and laughed, "I knew you care about that woman... I said why you two are progressing so slowly. I'm still eager to be a godfather."
I sighed and said, "Why do you talk so much? It's like an old woman. Look, the fish won't come."
Nobita stared and said, "Who can't say it!"
After saying that, he moved his buttocks. Sure enough, I saw a bunch of small fish swimming under the ice under his buttocks.
I recognize that it is a cold-water crucian carp and prefer to hide in a shadowed place. Nobita's buttocks are big, and it is estimated that it is regarded as a water grass that blocks the light.
Looking at the crucian carp swimming slowly, I said to Nobita, "This lake is quite deep."
Nobita asked inexplicably, "How do you know? Do these crucian carp say: Lake* on their backs?
I told him not to be blind and said, "Although crucian carp can live in relatively cold places, generally when the temperature drops to zero, they will hide at the bottom of the lake. And you see, these crucian carp actually swam to the lake and look very active."
Nobita touched the back of his head and asked me, "So this means the lake*?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, this shows that the volume of the lake is quite large, so even if the surface has frozen 50 or 60 centimeters of ice, the bottom of the lake can still maintain a high water temperature, because the specific heat capacity of the water is very large. And generally speaking, it is impossible for cold water to float on hot water, unless it is possible that there is convection at the bottom of the lake. Generally, this convection occurs when there is a spring at the bottom of the lake.
Hearing what I said, Daxiong said, he said, "So much, you just want to say that there is a hot spring at the bottom of the lake..."
I nodded and said, "There is such a possibility, and there is also a possibility that the bottom of the lake is connected to the sea."
After saying that, I chiseled a piece of ice on the ice with the chisel in my hand and said to Nobita, "If you don't believe it, you can taste it. It must be a little salty."
Nobita looked at the ice in my hand and said, "Why don't you taste it..."
