Chapter 166 Fishing in the Sen River (1)
"Where am I? Who am I?"
The groundhog thought in the bumpy car, reached over and held the bag with one hand. Hearing the familiar scream, it shook its head and bared its front teeth to make a defensive look.
Han Xuan had just got off the car and saw the Labrador Retriever pudding barking constantly, and called it over, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"They two have fought before, and I know this groundhog." Old Patton glanced into the bag and said with a smile.
"I saw this scar on its face, it was caught by pudding. In winter, this marmot ran into the sheep pen and stole the grass. When the two met, they were almost bitten to death by pudding. I found it and saved it."
No wonder these two were unhappy. It turned out that it was an enemy meeting. The groundhog stood in the bag and twisted, accidentally fell down, and quickly kicked it with his short legs. The pudding took two steps back, and was really scared by it.
Old Patton pointed to the flock and said to Pudding, "Go over there, a few sheep have gone away and drove them back."
Pudding looked at the groundhog, barked, and left obediently. The fat mouse sat down softly, scratched his waist with his front paws, stared at Han Xuan with round eyes, and hurriedly left it away, then looked over again, with doubts in his eyes.
"It's injured? Usually these little things are afraid of people, and they will slip away even if they catch them in a blink of an eye. At that time, we tied them with ropes and used them for barbecue. "
Old Patton pinched the groundhog's belly, raised his head and smiled, "It's so fat, it can make a lot of snow lard. Recently, it's raining, and applying snow lard can relieve it."
The groundhog's eyes widened wider and wider. Regardless of the pain, he rolled and crawled under the boy's feet, poked his head out to peek at Old Patton, grabbed Han Xuan's trouser legs and swayed to ask for help.
"Barton, let's go to Senhe to catch fish. The fishing season for giant tartfish has arrived. I bought a fishing net yesterday." Han's father stood beside him and said.
"I can fish, but it's not easy to catch fish with fish nets."
"But I can recommend someone to you. His family used to be a fisherman on Lake Canningferry. Does Alexander remember that he took care of the cowboy Romney Sheep."
Old Patton felt funny. He lifted the groundhog and said, "Boss, fishing is a physical job. You can find someone to accompany you. During breakfast, I saw Alexander walking east. My fishing boat was in the Forest River. You can see it by walking straight along this road. Let them be careful and use it. The new guy I just bought."
"Thank you. Patton, let's go, son."
When the groundhog saw the boy walking away, he immediately struggled to leave with them, his eyes looking desperate.
"Little guy, don't move, let me see where I was hurt..."
...
The Sen River originates from the Teton Mountains west of Flathead, with a total length of 209 kilometers. The section flowing through the Snow Mountain Ranch is considered an upstream, with a width of less than 20 meters.
People have been using wooden bridges here for more than a hundred years. Until now, they still maintain their original appearance. The boy's father once thought about raising a new bridge on the river, but the cost was too high, and other ranchers around were reluctant to pay, and in the end they were left alone.
It didn't rain much upstream during this period, and the snow in the mountains was almost melted at the end of August. So now the water level of the Senhe River remains at about 3 meters deep and the flow rate is slow. The giant moustache fish like this living environment very much.
The river water is clear and there is a lot of mud and sand brought from the upstream on both sides of the river. The water level has fallen for only a few days. The reeds on the shore were soaked in the water some time ago, and the upper and lower pieces of the upper and lower colors are different.
The light red crab lay in the mud and sand and spitted bubbles. He heard the sound of cars moving, and his eight legs moved together and hid in the hole.
"Boss, go and talk to Patton. Even if you want to sweep cow dung, the stable is in a lie, and you can only see people sooner or later. There are more than 200 horses, and you can wash them every five days. After all, you will have to wash them again. I will be exhausted." Martinez said with his head on the front seat.
"Okay, okay, I've been nagging all the way. I'm not going to help you with Jones often. I'm watching football games every day, so I can't help but expose it." Anderson couldn't help but expose it.
Martinez waited for the car to stop, opened the door and got out, and muttered: "It's because of boredom that I can see it. Besides, you have only helped me twice. I called you the day before yesterday, didn't you come?"
"I'm here to play today. Just help me catch fish. Let me talk about those I'll let you clean them for two years." Han's father took two steps and found that the car key was not pulled out. He paused and continued to move forward. No one nearby could see it, so where did the car steal?
The cowboy named Alexander is thirty or forty years old and is a little taller than Martinez. Han Xuan had seen him before, but he was not very familiar with him. Now he came to the side and asked, "Mr. Alexander, are you two meters tall?"
"Two meters? I'm two meters at the age of nineteen." Alexander's voice was hoarse and he smiled stiffly at the boy: "In the next few years, it gradually grew to two meters and seven meters. My parents were both tall, probably because of hereditary reasons."
Han Xuan turned his head and looked at his father, thinking that he might only be about 1.8 meters away from now on. He needed to raise his head when talking to Alexander: "It must be good to play in NBA, it's really strong."
"I don't have that ability, otherwise I wouldn't be a cowboy." Alexander replied with a smile. Seeing Han Xuan almost stepped on the soft mud and sand by the river, he reached out and pulled him, picked him up easily, and placed it on a wooden boat more than seven meters long.
Anderson next to him handed the fishing net to Alexander, bent down and patted the hull: "It's really good, Patton will enjoy it."
"You can just buy a ship, either. You can lend it to me for vacation, and you can take a trip from here to Grand Falls, preferably with a cabin." Jones interrupted when he heard it.
"Yes, I'll buy a yacht and lend it to you?"
Anderson joked: "My money is so tight that Cheryl has taken care of, saying that when I have enough time to go to Europe for a few days, the Alps, boss, will I arrange more holidays this year?"
"What's so fun in the Alps? The ski resort in our ranch has also begun to be built. If you take her to play, I'll give you a 10% discount."
After Han Xuan said that, he looked at Alexander: "Can there be fish in the water so clear? You can see the pebbles under it."
"I don't know other fish, but giant thorn fish and bass like this environment. Look at the red shadows, that is giant thorn fish." Alexander asked Jones to help straighten the fishing net and stopped to answer him.
Han’s father couldn’t help, so he sat leisurely on the bow of the boat and said to Anderson: “My son is right. I can ski on the ranch in two years. Why do I spend that money? I have been to the Alps through graduation trip. Only the mountains are higher than ours and are not as good as Montana.”
Anderson was not fooled by the father and son and refused: "Then go to the Aegean Sea in Greece. Our ranch cannot even have beaches."
"I went to Greenland on my honeymoon. God, Cheryl didn't show me a good look for it for half a month. It was too cold. It took a while for more than minus 20 degrees Celsius. She and I stayed in the hotel for three days and didn't go out."
"Then aren't you so happy? I'll go there even if I'm on my honeymoon." Martinez smiled wickedly.
"Hey! There's a child here." Han's father threw a water bottle over and teased him: "Let's talk about it when you find your girlfriend first."
"You're not blamed? Boss, there are more than a hundred people in the ranch, but there is not even a single woman. I would have taken action when I knew Joanna was here. Damn it, let Hill take advantage!"
Martinez turned the engine rocker, and with the thud and thud sound, the water low propeller rotated, and the small fishing boat broke through the water surface and started downstream. (To be continued.)
