Golden Fishing Village

After surfacing, Lu Zhizi took off his mask and said in surprise: "What kind of fish is that? It's so big and looks so fierce. Fortunately we brought a diving knife!"

"Who thought it was too hard to go down with a diving knife just now? They laughed at me for being timid, saying this was for diving and not for fighting." Ao Muyang joked.

Lu Zhizi was annoyed and punched him lightly: "Say, tell me, what kind of fish is this?"

Ao Muyang said with a smile: "Water tiger, the scientific name is catfish. I didn't expect there to be such a big water tiger in Ambergris Lake. I haven't seen it in many years."

Lu Zhizi suddenly realized: "So this is the anchovy. It's very ferocious, right?"

Ao Muyang nodded and encountered a water tiger while diving. This was an unexpected thing.

He knew that there were barbels in Ambergris Lake, but barbels mainly lived in the middle and upper layers of rivers and lakes and rarely went to the bottom of the lake.

In addition, Lu Zhizi is right, this kind of fish is very fierce, they swim quickly and move quickly, and they are a large carnivorous fish. Because of their ferocious temperament and strong swimming ability, they often attack and hunt other fish, and may also attack chickens, ducks, geese, and humans.

Especially when the fish they encountered was over one meter long, it was very dangerous to children and might bite their hands and feet.

However, this anchovy did not come for people. It should have been attracted by a school of noodle fish, otherwise it would not have escaped so easily after being stabbed.

Ao Muyang handed the diving knife to Lu Zhizi and said, "It was an emergency just now. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hold you."

"It's okay, do you want to save my life?" After resting for a while, Lu Zhizi thought of the forest at the bottom of the lake: "Oh my god, I was stunned just now. I haven't looked carefully yet. How can there be woods at the bottom of the lake? I didn't look. Wrong?"

Ao Muyang said: "That's right, it's a forest at the bottom of the lake."

Lu Zhizi said in shock: "How is this possible? Trees need photosynthesis to survive. How can there be light at the bottom of a lake dozens of meters deep to support the survival of trees?"

Ao Muyang didn't show off and gave the answer directly: "They are not living trees, they are dead trees. Do you know the underwater forest? Both sides are similar."

Lu Zhizi was indeed well-informed, and she immediately said: "How could it be? The submarine forest is an ancient forest that was preserved on the seabed after the seawater submerged the land and showed its original growth and upright state. They are all dead trees. Those trees at the bottom of the lake There are obviously green leaves!”

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "Haha, you are wrong about this. Those are not leaves, they are some aquatic plants entangled on them, and some aquatic plants are attached to them. In short, they are indeed dead trees."

Lu Zhizi thought about it for a while and couldn't help but sigh: "Nature is really magical!"

Ao Muyang said: "This is not the work of nature, this is a miracle. Do you know the origin of the name Ambergris Lake? These trees at the bottom of the lake prove that the name is not nonsense. This used to be a small basin. , maybe there really was a dragon that spit out fairy water and submerged the land into a lake. "

Lu Zhizi smiled and said: "Really? Maybe so, but there are also other speculations, speculations from science. Do you want to listen to them?"

"Say it." Ao Muyang put on a posture of listening.

Lu Zhizi said: "The world's climate has gradually warmed since the end of the last Pleistocene. The ice and snow have melted, and the sea level has risen. The sea level has risen by hundreds of meters in the past ten thousand years. This lake may be the result of rising sea water."

"But this is a freshwater lake." Ao Muyang laughed.

Lu Zhizi thought for a while and said: "Then I will make another guess. It is that local crustal subsidence moves relative to the ground level. For example, an earthquake or the like occurs, causing the ground to drop, and groundwater to rise up and flood the woods, turning it into The forest below the lake today.”

Ao Muyang nodded: "This is possible, but will the earthquake only affect such a small area?"

Lu Zhizi also nodded: "Yes, the scale of local crustal subsidence is related to the active tectonic background of the crust, and the scope is generally not too large. This forest at the bottom of the lake is very beautiful and interesting. I will dive in again later to have a look."

Diving is a strenuous exercise, and the female teacher will be exhausted by now.

Ao Muyang let her rest, gave her a fishing rod and said: "Come, fishing can calm your mind - ah, no, you can calm down. If you use ground dog as bait, it will be easy to catch fish."

The plump ground dogfish is a delicacy in the mouths of many carnivorous freshwater fish, especially catfish, mandarin fish and snakehead fish that are most likely to bite the hook.

Ao Muyang hooked a ground dog with a fishhook and threw it into the water. The ground dog struggled in pain and became a better bait in the water.

He used small insects caught on the shore, hung a few hooks and spread them out to catch crucian carp.

The crucian carp in Ambergris Lake is also unique. The wild crucian carp here is very fat and fat, wider than his hand, and is especially suitable for making soup.

Ao Muyang randomly found a reason and jumped into the water again. He searched the water and found a water area with a school of crucian carp. He then hung up the sail and drove over to the boat, put down the fishing rod and started fishing.

There are schools of fish under the boat. With the bait in place, wouldn’t fishing be easy?

Moreover, Ao Muyang can also monitor the water at any time. As long as there is a fish biting the hook, he can choose the right time to raise the pole, so that he can quickly catch more than ten crucian carp.

Lu Zhizi had no harvest for a long time. She watched helplessly as Ao Muyang caught fish frequently. She suddenly became impatient, so she put down the fishing rod and said, "I'm ready to rest. I'm going to go diving."

Coincidentally, as soon as she finished speaking, the fishing line was suddenly pulled straight.

Seeing this, Ao Muyang said: "There is a fish on the hook. Come on, give me the fishing rod and get ready to go into the water."

Lu Zhizi grabbed the fishing rod himself: "Who gave it to you? Who is going to go into the water? I want to fish!"

Ao Muyang: "..."

The one that bit the hook was a catfish. It was attracted by the ground dog soaked in sesame oil and chicken blood. After opening its mouth and biting the hook, it had nowhere to run and could only struggle.

The catfish is strong and not a small one like the crucian carp. Lu Zhizi had a hard time dealing with it.

The general jumped into the water, dived to the bottom, found the catfish along the fishing line, opened his mouth and bit its head, and cooperated with Lu Zhizi to catch the catfish.

This is the ability of water hounds. Lu Zhizi had never seen such a thing before, so he was surprised and said, "Isn't the general too powerful? Can it bite fish while diving?"

Ao Muyang waved his hand calmly and said, "This is a piece of cake for golden shorthairs. They are trained and know how to find fish along the fishing line. And they have an extra layer of nictitating membrane in their eyes, which can isolate the lake water and act as goggles, helping them have better vision underwater."

As he said, he picked a chicken sausage for the general, who swallowed it in one gulp, shaking his head and tail, looking fierce and powerful, wishing that fish would line up to take the bait.

In its eyes, a fish is a chicken sausage. What swims in the lake is not fish, but chicken sausages.

With the help of the general, fishing is effortless. Lu Zhizi then recovered her strength and went into the water again.

This time she carefully fixed the diving knife on her waist. There are indeed many dangers underwater!

But every time she dives, Ao Muyang will follow her. Watching Ao Muyang swimming freely in the water, she is not afraid of the lake water and feels at ease.
