The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 274 Glacier Fishing
Early that morning, Feng Yao was pulled up from the bed by Mo Li, who said he was going to catch fish by the river.In a daze, Feng Yao let him get dressed, fed him a few mouthfuls of hot porridge, then put on his cloak and pulled it out the door.

It wasn't until Feng Yao was blown by the cold wind that he came back to his senses, complaining: "Buli, where can I catch fish in this world of ice and snow? You think I don't know, the river is frozen now. The ice is much thicker than that of the capital. .”

Mo Li was holding Feng Yao's hand and walking in front, but when he saw that Feng Yao was displeased and flattered, he came back, hugged Feng Yao to his chest, and carefully tied the strap of the hood tightly, and finally coaxed her He said: "This is the characteristic of the north, Yao'er has never seen breaking ice to catch fish, come quickly, make sure it's fresh and fun."

Feng Yao knew that Moli was so free these days that he went to play with Rong'er all day, maybe Rong'er thought of these funny things.Originally, he wanted to refuse and go back to catch up on sleep; but then he thought that if he and Mo Li would stay in the house, the heat would heat up again, and both of them would suffer a lot.He simply followed Mo Li and walked out of the house with him.

A carriage has been installed outside the door, and there are large objects such as fishing nets, hooks, chisels, and ice axes on the cart.Several guards and Zuo Ping were there.On the other side were their horses, Feng Yao saw his Thunderbolt, Yun Che's bay red horse, and a little white horse, which belonged to Rong'er.Seeing that these equipments are so complete, it is not just taking Rong'er to play today.

Mo Li and Feng Yao came to the side of Thunderstorm, Thunderstorm looked at Mo Li and hissed.Then he lowered his head and rubbed against Moli's shoulder, his appearance was as close as before, like an old friend reunited.

Feng Yao asked strangely: "Why did Baolei recognize you again? When you abandoned it back then, didn't you even recognize you as the master?"

Mo Li patted Thunderbolt's saddle, then ran along Thunderbolt's mane and said, "It is psychic, so naturally I have my own difficulties. Besides, I have told it quietly, let it take good care of me Well. That little red horse is too young, not as experienced as Thunderstorm. I don’t worry about it carrying you around.”

Feng Yao took a look at Bai Moli, "I didn't expect you to use a horse as eyeliner."

Thunder made another hiss, as if explaining to Feng Yao.Feng Yao touched Thunderbolt's bridge of nose, softened his voice and said, "But Thunderbolt is really powerful, and this journey is also thanks to him."

Mo Li carried Feng Yao onto the horse, and then took a ride and sat behind Feng Yao.Although Feng Yao's riding skills are already very good, but leaning on Mo Li's chest, with his arms around his waist and holding the rein, the feeling of being looked around by him in front of his chest is very stable, making him Feng Yao simply huddled in Mo Li's arms, allowing him to resist the cold wind.

All the way out of the city, after walking for more than five miles, I saw a plain, and a long way ahead was a forest.

Mo Li pointed to the plain and said, "That's a big river. In winter, the river freezes and snows, just like a plain. But there are a lot of fish under the ice."

Feng Yao was suddenly surprised: "This river is really wide."

Yun Che followed up and said, "Yes, otherwise, why would it be a disaster during the autumn flood this year?"

Feng Yao asked again: "Is there no embankment?"

"How can such a big river be completely blocked by dams? It is usually a river bank. When the water rises, it overflows the river bank, and there is no way to move forward. I can only hope that the downstream river channel will be smoother, and the water will fall soon. There will be no floods." Yun Che shook his head, expressing that he was really powerless.

Feng Yao is also helpless.Looking at the "plain" in front of him, he thought that if he really wanted to build a dam, it would be a costly project, and it couldn't be solved immediately.

Just as he was talking, Zuo Ping and others in front had already dismounted.The big cart with things also stopped, Zuo Ping and his attendants began to unload the cart.

Yun Che explained: "There is a river beach under our feet now. If we go forward, there will be a frozen river. Although we will be fine when we walk up, I am afraid that such a big car will not be able to withstand it, so we can only park in the Things are shipped here."

Feng Yao nodded, and Mo Li also dismounted, let go of the reins and let the horses stay on the river bank, and they walked towards the middle of the river.

When Feng Yao and Mo Li walked to the center holding hands, Zuo Ping and several guards had already swept away a large piece of snow from the ice surface, revealing the crystal clear ice layer below.

The ice layer is very thick, but it is so clear that you can see the flowing water below.Occasionally, a swimming fish flashed by. Looking through the ice, I felt that the fish was very big.

Feng Yao has never seen such thick and transparent ice, and there is a special sense of emptiness standing on it, as if there is a piece of water under his feet, and he can float on the water, which is another special feeling .

"This ice is so beautiful." Feng Yao couldn't help but knelt down and touched the ice surface, his hands were cool and slippery.

Mo Li squatted beside Feng Yao, holding her waist tightly to prevent the slippery ice from falling her down.

Zuo Ping brought another ice pick, hammer, and chisel, and he and a few other attendants were digging ice not far away.The ice layer is too thick and too hard, and each pick can only leave a white mark on the ice surface, and the chisel can only be hit by a hammer to make a small pit.

Feng Yao couldn't help exclaiming: "This ice is still so hard?" She thought that the crystal-like ice layer should be very brittle, but she didn't expect that it would take so much force to break open a little bit.

"Yeah, it's been frozen all winter." Zuo Ping continued to work with a smile. Several people swung picks in turn, and finally dug a two-foot ice hole.

After being able to hear the sound of running water, Feng Yao moved closer to look in, but couldn't figure out how to catch fish?

"Just lower the net into the water later, and lift it up later, it will be full of fish." Mo Li knew what Feng Yao was strange about, and explained it to her.

"Ah! How many fish do you get?" Feng Yao not only cried out in surprise.Zuo Ping and the other two guards had shaken off the fishing nets and let them into the water section by section.

"Auntie, stand still. We'll pick up the fish when they come up. You have to be quick, otherwise you'll be frozen on the ice and won't be able to get out." Rong'er put on a pair of fishskin gloves, and Passed a pair to Feng Yao, and arranged a job for Feng Yao by the way.

Feng Yao laughed and said, "I won't pick it up, I'm afraid of fishy smell."

Mo Li smiled and said nothing, and looked at Feng Yao with doting eyes.Xin said: It's up to you not to pick it up later.

After the fishing net was thrown into the water for about a stick of incense, Zuo Ping and the other two guards started pulling the net.At the beginning, I didn't seem to feel anything, but when the net was pulled halfway, the three of them had to shout and work together to pull the net up again.

At the end, Mo Li and Yun Che also went to the back to help pull the net, and only then did they pull up the net full of fish.
