Chapter 791 Fish School Under the Ice
Several people who were trying to squeeze in front of Li Moer were blocked by employees working at the zoo. What a joke! If they were allowed to hurt the boss, they would become a bunch of useless people.
Li Moer ignored them and turned away. Anyway, everything had been explained clearly.
After thinking about it, she decided to go out for a walk outside the village since there was nothing to do. Her down jacket had a big fluffy hood and she was wearing thermal underwear underneath. Although it was over 30 degrees below zero, she didn't feel cold at all.
There was no wind today, but it was dry and cold. Walking on the dirt road outside the village, admiring the wild and pastoral scenery, I felt particularly relaxed. A large river appeared in front of me, and the river surface was completely covered with ice. I felt playful and ran a few steps on the ice and then slid forward two meters.
Suddenly, I spotted a giant carp, about a foot long, frozen in the ice. It was dead, but still fresh. If I were a kid, I would have immediately run home, found a pickaxe, and chipped the ice to get the fish out.
Now she wouldn't bother with just one fish. There were countless fish in the lake within the space. Some silver carp could grow to one or two meters long.
When she saw the fish, she wanted to see if there were any other fish under the ice. Her mind spread out, and the ice layer had reached more than one meter thick.
In some shallow places, the ice had frozen all the way to the bottom, leaving only a few dead fish at the bottom of the river.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. There was a relatively deep area under the river surface in front of her. The rest of the area was frozen through, but there was still about two meters of water there, and the area was only slightly smaller than a basketball court.
Inside, there were fish huddled together, and those fish rarely swam. They just stayed there, opening and closing their mouths.
If these fish are not taken out, they probably won’t survive, mainly because there are too many of them and they lack oxygen.
At this moment, several children aged seven or eight ran out of the village chattering. After leaving the village, they turned their heads back and forth as if they were looking for something.
One of the children seemed to see Li Moer’s white hat, and then several children ran towards her.
They ran up to Li Moer, and one of the older ones said to her, "Aunt, your grandma asked you to go home. She said it's too cold and she's afraid you'll catch a cold."
Li Moer pulled out a dozen candies from his pocket and gave a few to each child. He then said, "Go find the village chief and ask him to bring all the young men in the village, along with steel chisels, buckets, basins, and long-handled scoop nets, to come find me here and tell them I've found a school of fish!"
When the children heard that they had found a school of fish, they immediately cheered and ran happily back to the village.
Li Moer used his mind to shave off 70 to 80 centimeters of ice from the bottom, the size of a basketball court, and stored it in space, leaving only a 30-centimeter-thick layer of ice. An 80-centimeter gap suddenly appeared between the ice and the water surface, and the surface ice suddenly began to sink, making a crackling sound.
Li Moer was also shocked. She didn't expect that the ice layer would sink. Fortunately, the ice layer did not break and would not let her fall, but she still sat on the ice. The butt of her snow-white down jacket was stained. Once the ice layer collapsed, the entire ice surface became the same shape as a pot, with a hollow in the middle and high around it.
Li Moer looked around. She thought she couldn't climb up even if she wanted to. Looking down through the ice, she could clearly see the fish swimming slowly below.
After about ten minutes, voices and the thumping sound of cotton shoes stepping on the ground were heard in the distance.
After a while, Li Moer saw a group of people running towards her, led by those children.
The village chief walked to the river, looked at Li Mo'er below and asked, "Mo'er, they said you found a school of fish. Where are they?"
Li Moer stamped her feet: "It's right down there. I saw a lot of big fish."
A group of people immediately slid down the icy slope, but many of them failed and ended up sliding down in a dog-like manner.
The village chief also came down. After coming down, he lay on the ice and looked down. After a while, he stood up with his face flushed. I heard him shout excitedly: "What are you still standing there for? Dig a hole. There must be at least one or two thousand kilograms of fish below!"
