Early the next morning, before the sun came out, all the children in the cave woke up. Some of them probably thought too much and didn't sleep well, and their eye circles were dark.
Moore was still very puzzled when he was woken up, which was something he had never encountered in the cave before. Yesterday, I slaughtered a few Yeyans while practicing knives, and there were a few more wounds on my arms.
Doubts turned to doubts, Moer still stood up, carrying the knife, waiting for the next thing, he found that the other children in the cave were all five together, holding straw ropes and pieces of black things, crowded at the entrance of the cave, not knowing that they were discussing What, looking at Shao Xuan expectantly from time to time.
"The sun is out! Today's weather must be good, we can go fishing." A child looked at the sun in the sky and said.
"But yesterday was also such a good weather, isn't it still impossible to fish? Will it be the same today as yesterday?" Another child poured cold water.
Most of the children in the cave couldn't hear such unlucky words, and they all glared at the child who said "the same as yesterday" just now.
No matter if I can fish today or not, I still have to eat breakfast, otherwise I won't have the energy to work. Since he made a profit, Shao Xuan has eaten something every morning. At first, there were children who were reluctant to eat. As a result, when fishing, he had no energy and was not as efficient as others. He followed Shao Xuan the next day. Stone pot, there is no way, if you don’t eat, you have no energy, you can’t work without energy, and if you can’t work, it means that there are fewer prey than others, and it will be more hungry. This is a vicious circle.
Eating and drinking, feeling refreshed.
It shouldn't be a big problem to see Moore's actions, Shao Xuan called him to go fishing with him. The few Yeyans that Moore killed yesterday were donated to the group for breakfast, and the attitude of others in the group towards More softened a lot.
All the people in the cave left, and no one was watching. Shao Xuan was not afraid of being stolen. He carried the straw rope and the black pieces that could float on the water. As for the fish, the tribesmen would not come to steal the children in the cave. Otherwise, they will be severely punished and cast aside by the entire tribe, so even if the fish is left out to dry, no one will come to get it. In addition to these, there is nothing in the cave that can attract people from the tribe. There is no need to send someone to guard, Caesar is taken by Shao Xuan.
The river surface today is also very calm, but it is not as eerily quiet as yesterday. Seeing the flashing waves on the water surface, Shao Xuan felt a little relieved. Greeting Jieba and Tu, tied the straw rope to the stone worm and brought it over, and tried throwing a stone worm first.
Behind Shao Xuan stood about twenty children, staring at the stone worm that was thrown into the water without blinking.
"Axuan, how's it going?"
"Should be alright?"
"Has the fish come back?"
He couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
Shao Xuan stared at the surface of the water. He didn't "see" those aquatic creatures with tentacles today, and the tremor of the black block returned to its previous level, which was the struggle of underwater stone worms.
"I shouldn't have asked..." Before Shao Xuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the situation on the water.
The black block that was originally floating on the water suddenly sank, and the rope felt a familiar pulling sensation. Shao Xuan was overjoyed, and with the stuttering, they tightened the straw rope in their hands and quickly pulled it back.
"There are fish!"
"It's a fish!!"
"The fish is back!!"
Seeing this, the other children jumped on the spot with joy, and when the familiar grim face in the water was fully exposed, the twenty or so children finally felt relieved.
It was only a day later, and I missed it so much. The straw rope in my hand was already hungry and thirsty. After Shao Xuan signaled it, the little cubs began to skillfully catch fish in groups of five.
"Moer, you come with them, Tu you tell him what to pay attention to, I will take Caesar to dig stone worms, the few I dug just now are far from enough. Remember one thing, don't go into the water, don't fight, there are that It’s better to grab a few more fish for a fight, hurry up, winter will come in a few days. If you find something wrong, go to the soldiers guarding over there.” Shao Xuan said later to the others standing by the river bank.
In fact, there is no need for Shao Xuan to instruct them. After what happened yesterday, these children cherish today's opportunities. No one of them knows whether the fish will leave tomorrow. Therefore, it is better to catch more fish. Who has the leisure to fight? ah
When the children who came out of the cave were busy pulling fish, some people who lived in the area near the foot of the mountain also came here to fish along with them.
This kind of situation is common recently. The soldiers guarding are not like before when they saw someone approaching the water and ran over nervously to warn them. Now they just sit not far away and watch. Timely notification and so on.
I have to say that these fish have really solved some people's urgent needs. Several families in the area near the foot of the mountain were injured when they went out to hunt. They couldn't participate in the last outing before winter. If they didn't go out to hunt, they would have less food. In a hurry, and now, they are much more relaxed. Who would have thought that these guys in the water would be so good at hunting? Even the old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe can come and help.
After going through these things, Shao Xuan is also well known by the people in the area near the foot of the mountain. In the past, everyone only remembered a child walking around with a wolf every day. Now, because of the fish, he has to make a deal with Shao Xuan for the kind that can float on the water. The black block finally remembered Shao Xuan's name. I heard that Shao Xuan was going to change the animal skins. It doesn't matter if they are new or old. They will clean up the animal skins that are not needed at home for the time being and rush to exchange them with Shao Xuan.
When Shao Xuan came to the gravel ground, seven or eight people were already there. When they saw Shao Xuan, they greeted Shao Xuan. Hearing that Shao Xuan said that he could pull fish by the river today, they stared at the ground. Even more eager, I can't wait to quickly copy the old nest of the underground stone worm and take it to the river to lure fish.
Recently, the stone worms in the gravel ground were stalked, and they were dug up by people who rushed up to the ground. They simply cut off half of themselves to escape, or they could only be pulled out of the ground in whole by people. . In the past, even if they climbed out of the ground and slowly wriggled in front of people, no one would take a second look, but now, let alone outcroppings, even if the gravel on the ground moved a little, someone would dig it to see if there were stone worms underneath. , when you see it, pull it out.
However, compared to Caesar, these people are much less efficient. The man who was digging the worms in the gravel saw Caesar sniffing around and digging out one, and his eyes were hot.
This wolf nose is really tamarin!
Some people have also thought about weaving a large net with straw ropes to catch fish, but it turns out that this trick is not easy to use. Once the net goes down, you can indeed catch a lot, but before you can pull it up, the net is scrambled by those fish. When it is bitten, when the net is retracted, there is not a single fish in the bitten net. As a last resort, everyone still uses this troublesome method, one by one.
In the afternoon, the children fishing by the river were recalled by Shao Xuan to the cave to eat the food distributed by the tribe. They did not want to continue weaving straw ropes in the cave. Yesterday, they weaved for a day. For a while, they thought about going to the river to catch them for a while.
Shao Xuan didn't object, but he didn't follow him in the afternoon. Stone bugs had already caught a lot in the morning and were assigned to five groups, enough for them.
Look at the moon last night. Winter is coming soon. They have to catch more fish before winter comes. Once winter comes, the outdoor temperature will drop sharply, and the river near the river bank will freeze. At that time, there is no awakening totem power. People basically don't go out of the house, they can't bear the wind and snow, and they don't have thick fur and clothing, they are easy to freeze to death when they go out.
Instead of going to the river with the kids, Shao Xuan took two fish and left the hole. Shao Xuan pulls one, and asks Caesar to drag one. He also carried an animal skin bag, which contained slightly better stones that Shao Xuan had picked up at the training ground some time ago. The stone was moved, and now the cave is different from the past, and the gang of cubs who put the stone next to him did not dare to snatch it.
Every time he picks up a good stone embryo that can be used to make tools, Shao Xuan will exchange it with the stone tool master for food, and the person who chooses to exchange is also fixed. Finally selected.
This stone tool master is called Ke. I heard that he was responsible for setting traps in the hunting team. He just lost a leg during a hunt and quit the hunting team to become a stone tool master in the area near the foot of the mountain. He usually helps people make stone tools. to make a living.
Shao Xuan pulled the fish to the front of a wooden house. Many of the surrounding houses had no doors. They were only covered with thick leather curtains or straw curtains woven with plant vines. Shao Xuan could hear the sound of grinding stone tools inside, so he called out "Uncle Ke".
The person inside didn't respond, but the covered leather curtain shook a little, which is actually telling you that the owner of the house agreed with you to go in. Without permission, Shao Xuan could not lift the curtain directly. Many things in Ke's place look simple, but they are actually more complicated than those of the nearby residents. The curtains of other people's houses can be lifted directly, but it will not work at Ke's place. Enter, the unlucky one is definitely you.
Even if one leg is missing, in any case, Ke was the one who was responsible for the traps set by the hunting team back then, and the skills that he should have are still there.
