"What are you doing? A trap?" Mai came over and asked.
"When the river rises, I can stand on it." The person standing next to Mai laughed.
They don't know what Shao Xuan and Lang Ga are doing for this, but everyone in the hunting team knows that Lang Ga is interested in setting traps. Although most of the time they only set up traps such as ground bows, but they also set up some other traps. type.
Lang Ga talked about Shao Xuan and his own thoughts, and everyone was also very curious. As for setting up such a fish gate here, it is not only a problem for them, but also provides convenience. When the water rises, they can step on it. jump.
"It's time for you to go back. We'll patrol first tonight, Lang Ga, bring someone over to change it early tomorrow." Mai said.
"Okay, I'll go back after the last one. I didn't pay attention just now, but now I'm back, I'm really hungry." Lang Ga patted his stomach and looked at his results, very satisfied.
Shao Xuan, who had completed his last fish fence, found that the people who came with Mai not only brought their own stone tools and animal skin bags with food, but also brought a net woven with straw ropes.
"Uncle Mai, what do you use the grass net for?" Shao Xuan asked.
"This," Mai smiled, "of course it's for food."
Seeing that Shao Xuan was still confused, Mai said, "You will know when you come tomorrow. By the way, remember to bring a larger mesh bag when you come tomorrow."
Although he didn't know what they used the mesh bag to pack, Shao Xuan still prepared a mesh bag.
The next day, Shao Xuan took Caesar and Chacha to Lao Ke's side early in the morning, and then went to the patrol area.
When Shao Xuan arrived, Lang Ga and the same group of guards were already there. What surprised Shao Xuan was that Mai and the others were filled with snails the size of watermelons!
Not only that, but near the river bank, there are sharp corners that gradually become larger on the river surface. They are all snails, and they are coming towards the river bank.
Although it doesn't look like much now, if it continues like this, when the patrol is over, everyone will be able to get a lot.
Their shells are so thick that even the piranhas in the river may not be able to handle them, but the tribes people are different, after all, people use tools to pull them out of their shells.
"Don't look at how hard these shells are, but after you take them back and cook them, the shells will break easily after a long time. Some people used to want to use their shells to make things. I didn't expect them to be broken after a period of time." Mai said to Shao Xuan.
Even though the energy provided by these snails is not much, but the amount is there, it can really solve the food problem, no wonder Langga is not worried.
According to Mai, these snails do not come out usually, and only after the official start of the rainy season will they come ashore in large numbers. The good thing is that these snails do not have any offensive power. This is completely a ration for those who are in short supply in the rainy season.
I don't know if there are parasites, but people who watch the tribe have been fine after eating for so many years, so there should be no problem.
Now that the shift changers have arrived, Mai and the others stayed there for a while. After a night of rain, they hurried back to eat something to sleep, and then came over to continue patrolling after resting.
"You guys stand here first, and if you find any abnormal situation that you can't deal with, hurry up and whistle, do you hear?" Mai said to Lang Ga and others.
"Got it, it's not the first rainy season patrol. I already told him about Axuan, I'll take it with me when the time comes, don't worry." Lang Ga waved at Mai, then rushed over to continue watching the fish he made yesterday grid.
The rain has not stopped, at most it only falls a little occasionally. The river level has risen a lot compared to yesterday, and more than half of the fish fence closest to the river was submerged in the water yesterday.
At this level, no fish would enter, and it was still early, and there was no abnormality in the river surface, so Shao Xuan picked up the snails with the others.
These snails Shao Xuan don't know which species they are, and they look different. There are many kinds of threads and colors, but Lang Ga said they can eat them. Shao Xuan doesn't care so much anymore. Just get up and throw it into the grass net. It's just that they are close to the ground, and the smoother places with rocks need to use some force, and it is not easy to pull them off the rocks.
I spent most of the day patrolling, and I didn't encounter anything. Except for these various snails crawling to the river bank, there was nothing else. When Shao Xuan went back that day, he sent a lot of snails to the children in the cave and to Lao Ke. Anyway, he couldn't eat that many by himself. Caesar didn't eat them. The meat is pecked out of the shell, just for fun.
On the third day Shao Xuan participated in the patrol, the edge of the river had completely surpassed the first fish gate. The first fish gate was not big, only two meters in diameter. At the time, I thought it was too small, so I didn't demolish it and rebuild it, but made it a lot bigger when the second fish gate was built. Therefore, when the water surface crossed the first fish gate At the time of the fish gate, the second fish gate, which was almost side by side with the first fish gate, was only partially submerged in the water.
"How is it?" Lang Ga threw the snail he picked up into the grass net and shouted to Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan stood beside the first fish gate and looked inside carefully.
no fish...
In addition, there were no piranhas with big heads and fangs around, and no other fishes were seen, and they seemed to have disappeared.
In such a time of rising water, not a single fish was seen!
So, the fish gate is white
No, then you can see what else is in the river besides fish.
Keep it. Shao Xuan looked at the fish gates under his feet, and planned to leave these fish gates here temporarily, and then remove them when the tide ebbs, which would not hinder the patrol anyway.
"Nothing!" Shao Xuan replied.
Getting up and preparing to go to the shore, Shao Xuan suddenly felt a chill swept across.
dangerous!
Just as he was about to jump off the fish fence and run to the river bank, he heard Lang Ga's hurried cry.
"Don't move! Don't move!!"
To move, or not to move? These two thoughts flashed in Shao Xuan's mind instantly, and in the end, Shao Xuan decided to follow Lang Ga's words and set it there.
Although he didn't move, his muscles were already ready to go. Once something happened, he would move on to the next step. His hand just touched the stone knife.
Over there, Lang Ga couldn't care less about picking up the snails, and came over with the others, and while running, he threw the snails in his hand onto the water thirty meters away from Shao Xuan on the other side.
Shao Xuan could hear the sound of the snail falling into the river over there, but the needle-like gaze was still there. Shao Xuan froze there the whole time, maintaining the position just now, motionless.
As long as he raised his head, he could see the source of that icy gaze, but at this moment, Shao Xuan held back his eyes and did not glance at it.
Not far from Shao Xuan, at some point, a triangular-shaped head appeared on the water, with two bulging eyes on the head.
At this time, a small sound came from the water in front, and it was not obvious from the surrounding raindrops, but Shao Xuan could hear it clearly.
"Cuck!"
Shao Xuan: "..."
Nima!
He finally knew why Lang Ga told him not to move.
