Chapter 89: Otters take care of their babies, fishing with homemade fishing rods (55)
It was still winter at that time. When Su Ran followed the squirrel to pick stone ears, he found a gyrfalcon feather on the snow, and used it to track down three poachers.
Before the Saker Falcon struggled to escape, a grain of natans was pecked off their leader.
The Saker Falcon on his shoulder swayed its head like a pendulum, and it ignored Su Ran's words in its aloof manner.
Perhaps, it itself didn't know what Su Ran was talking about.
But when Su Ran opened the phone case and took out the feather he had picked up, Haidongqing's expression obviously changed.
It was very familiar with this feather because it was the one that fell from its body.
Picking up the feather that had been away from it for a long time with its mouth, the Saker Falcon turned its head and inserted it back into its own wing.
Although this is only a symbolic return and will not be very solid, the feathers may fall off soon, but it is enough to answer Su Ran's question.
Su Ran's eyebrows lit up: "Okay, it turns out it's really you."
Netizens also reacted.
"So this is the Saker Falcon that escaped from the poachers?"
"Brother Su, you two are so destined to be together."
"I suggest you get married right here."
"Saker Falcon is a capable general, Su Ran, why don't you just take it in?"
Su Ran had this idea, but the proud Peregrine Falcon didn't seem to want to stay with Su Ran.
Perhaps feeling tired, the Saker Falcon spread its wings and flew away from Su Ran's shoulder without looking back.
Su Ran didn't feel any regret: "It's okay, maybe we'll meet again in the future."
The big otter was standing on the dam and witnessed what had just happened. Now, it had come to Su Ran's feet without him noticing.
Su Ran also noticed its existence, and the two of them stared at each other.
Then, a dozen little heads popped up from the lake.
All the otters came ashore and stood behind the boss, looking very impressive.
Su Ran said blankly: "Why, do you still want to fight with me?"
Who knew that the next moment, the otter boss actually put his head on Su Ran's shoe.
At first glance, it seems like a sign of submission.
However, this is actually the case.
The big otter suddenly raised his head, then turned around, and like an instructor of the team, he gave some instructions to his family members in a whimpering voice.
Then Su Ran saw that the group of otters began to walk to the dam on the shore in unison and opened a hole with clear division of labor.
The lake water flows gently downwards, keeping the otter's nest at a suitable water level and providing a water supply downstream.
Su Ran was pleasantly surprised and a little surprised at the same time. He stared at the otter leader in front of him, who was holding his head high and waiting to be praised by him. He reached out his hand and patted its head: "Little guy, you are too smart. How did you know that I came up the mountain just to solve this problem?"
The otter leader laughed and clapped his hands again, and all the otters floated their heads out from the bottom of the lake.
But this time, each of them had fish of different sizes in their mouths.
Then, they walked to the shore and placed the freshest fish in front of Su Ran.
Many times, the spirituality of animals is beyond people's understanding.
Instead, it brought about an incomprehensible surprise and joy.
The audience in the live broadcast room likes these little guys more and more because these otters are so smart.
"So, because Brother Su rescued their members, the otter family began to repay Brother Su?!"
"There are so many fish. Brother Su will have something to eat when he goes home today."
"Good, good, good. It's a great harvest."
With another order from the otter leader, the otter team began to disband.
Those who need to go home go home, and those who need to bask in the sun bask in the sun. The two otters began to play with each other in the water.
They had a lot of fun splashing water.
There was also an otter, sitting on the dam and basking in the sun.
What made Su Ran most happy was that the otter boss was actually a gentle guy and was a nanny just like Su Ran.
At this moment, it was lying on the lake, coaxing the little otter in its arms to sleep.
Seeing this, Mantou rubbed its head in Su Ran's arms, wanting to try it too.
Su Ran almost choked up and said, "Silly girl, I don't have the ability to do that."
The sky is blue and the clouds are white.
Green mountains, green waters, red leaves and yellow flowers.
Everything is so peaceful and so comfortable.
Such a leisurely scene also made netizens in the live broadcast room feel relaxed and comfortable.
Su Ran was also in a good mood, especially when he saw the ripples on the calm lake surface and the fish jumping out of the water from time to time, he immediately had the idea of going fishing.
He first found some thicker branches and spread them flat on the ground. Then he inserted the same number of branches horizontally to make a base.
Then I made four more noodles in the same way.
Insert it vertically into the gap between the branches at the bottom, then peel the bark from the fresh branches into thin filaments and rub them into ropes to secure them firmly.
A simple fish box is ready.
Then he threw all the dozen or so fish into a wooden fish box, tied one end with a rope and put it into the lake.
Then Su Ran found a relatively straight branch to use as a fishing rod.
Use plant fibers to make very thin fishing line.
Su Ran's wilderness survival skills are simply maxed out, but netizens are concerned: "Brother Su, what about the fishhook?"
“Of course it’s made of wood.”
Su Ran smiled.
Netizens couldn't imagine how to make fish hooks out of wood.
But Su Ran only broke off a hard branch, cut off a length about a finger joint, peeled off the bark, and sharpened both ends.
Then use a knife to make a small groove around the branch.
This ensures that the line will not slip on the hook and that the hook is parallel to the line.
Then Su Ran kneaded the dug earthworms into meat paste, wrapped them in the middle of the hook, and then used fine plant fibers to wrap them into a small ball.
This will allow the flavor to spread and attract fish without causing the meat paste to disperse in the water.
Su Ran pointed the camera at the fishhook in his hand.
Although it is not very sophisticated, it looks decent.
"You see, when the fish swallows the bait, the hook is stuck horizontally in the fish's throat, so they can't escape even if they want to."
"And this kind of fish hook is not something I made randomly. It has a professional name, called a canyon hook, also called a fish hook."
"Primitive people before Christ made such fish hooks for fishing. The advantage of this fish hook is that it can be adjusted according to the size of the fish you want to catch."
Su Ran also shared some other experiences: "In the wild, there are many choices of fish hooks. In addition to fish cards, you can also use paper clips as fish hooks. If you can find acacia trees, you can also make barbed hooks."
"You can even use the tiny bones of small animals to grind bone fish hooks. In short, when faced with a truly desperate situation, there are always many options for survival."
Of course, Su Ran is not surviving in the wilderness now, he just wants to have a leisurely and pleasant time.
The moment Su Ran cast the rod, netizens began to wonder whether a fish would really take the bait!
My liver is killing me. It hurts.
