In the morning, as soon as Shao Xuan walked out the door, he saw Lang Ga running over out of breath.
"A Xuan, go to the river! Quick!"
Lang Ga's face was flushed, and he didn't know whether it was because he was tired from work or because he was too excited.
"What's wrong?" Shao Xuan wondered.
"Fish grid! Yu grid!" Lang Ga didn't say much, came over and dragged Shao Xuan to the river.
Early this morning, when the sky was bright, Lang Ga ran to the river to see the fish gate. Based on his experience in the past few years, he naturally knew that there would be a big wave on the river last night, thinking that he might be able to trap something. It's just that everyone's mood was not very calm in the past two days, so they didn't come to find Shao Xuan. Today, when he couldn't wait to see the fish gate, he found that there are many aquatic creatures in the fish gate!
Not just the big-headed piranha, there are other, many things that have never been seen before!
At that time, Lang Ga was so excited to look at each fish gate, and later called a few soldiers who patrolled the river to help, and slaughtered the things that had almost escaped from the fish gate, and those trapped in the fish gate hadn't started. . Because I was always excited, I only paid attention to the things in the fish gate. It was only now that Lang Ga remembered it, so he immediately came over to find Shao Xuan.
Last night, the river swelled up again and returned to its previous state, as if the abyss of the previous two days was just an illusion.
When Shao Xuan came to the river, there were many people around the fish gate. There were soldiers in charge of patrolling the river bank, and there were also some people who came to see the situation near the foot of the mountain. The children in the cave also stretched their necks around.
People are curious and like to watch the fun. At the same time, everyone knows that as long as a fence like this is installed here at the right time, many good things can be stopped.
When Shao Xuan came over, he saw a one-meter-long mussel next to it, which was pried open and split and placed on the side.
"That was the one I encountered this morning, and it almost ran away, but luckily it didn't run fast." Lang Ga laughed, "The shell of that thing is so tight, it took a lot of effort for me to put it away. It's pried open."
Pushing aside the people surrounding him, Lang Ga excitedly pointed to a fish gate and said to Shao Xuan, "Ah Xuan, look, there are a lot of prey in here! A lot of prey that I've never seen before!"
As a hunter who has been hunting for more than ten years, Lang Ga, like other warriors, is naturally interested in many new prey, and has already started to cut some in the morning.
Shao Xuan jumped on the stone pillar of a fish gate and glanced roughly.
There is something in each fish gate, and among them, piranhas with big heads are the main ones, which are all lifted up by the waves.
Lang Ga was not interested in those big-headed piranhas, so he only kept two of them symbolically. After discussing with Shao Xuan, all the others were given to the people near the foot of the mountain and the children in the cave. After all, Lang Ga There is no shortage of this food, and he does not look down on this kind of fish, and Shao Xuan does not need it either.
Lang Ga took the spear and poked out the piranhas in the fish gate one by one. Every time the spear went down, a fish would be pierced, and with a single swipe of the spear, they were picked out and thrown aside.
The people watching the fun originally just wanted to come and see if the fish came back. If all the fish came back, they would be able to continue fishing in the next days. I didn't expect that they would also benefit from coming to watch the fun. After seeing Lang Ga throwing the fish aside, they all went up to snatch it.
There was no water in the fish gate, and there were many dead fish in it, all of them killed each other. The fish blood that came out when poking the fish made the fight even more fierce for the various fish that were fighting inside.
Shao Xuan saw a lot of strangely-shaped fish, some with long and narrow eyes, some with flat bodies, very similar to manta rays, and some like puffer fish, bulging into a big ball and squeezing the other fish to the side. .
Shao Xuan even saw shrimps and crabs, but they looked different from the shrimps and crabs he had seen in his previous life, and they were not that big compared to other fish. Also, even if there are big shrimps and crabs, the fish fence can't trap them. Even if they appeared here yesterday, they would have disappeared long ago.
"How about this one? I think it's edible."
"Hey, this one is good! It looks very fierce, so I can't eat it and take it out to play with."
"Look at that fish, it changes color with a poke!"
"… "
There were a lot of onlookers and discussions around, and Shao Xuan was watching when he heard Lang Ga shout over there: "I seem to have seen this when I was hunting, but it doesn't look like this."
Shao Xuan looked over and was instantly happy when he saw the creature Lang Ga had mentioned.
Yo, there's another asshole!
To be precise, that one looked more like a snapping turtle. When Shao Xuan looked at it, it was biting the tail of a piranha next to it, tearing off a large piece of meat from the tail of the fish.
"Keep that for me, I'll go back and cook!" Shao Xuan pointed at the guy who looked like a snapping turtle with a spear and said to Lang Ga.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Lang Ga was overwhelmed by today's harvest, and didn't care about what he seemed to have seen. He doesn't care if he can eat the things caught in the fish gate, or how much energy it can provide. He just feels that being surrounded by people like this makes him feel very fulfilled, just like walking to glory for the first time. road like.
Did you see that, in addition to the ground bow, brother also sets up traps to catch fish!
Lang Ga directed people to run errands on the side, and many people from the area near the foot of the mountain went to Lang Ga to learn scriptures. Lang Ga, who was standing on the stone pillar of the fish gate, never stopped his mouth since he came here.
After taking a look around, Shao Xuan stopped trying to grab the limelight with Lang Ga. Although he and Lang Ga shared these prey, he just wanted to see what other creatures were in the river besides those big-headed piranhas. Except for the turtle and a few fishes in the fish fence, Shao Xuan let Lang Ga handle it himself.
Squeezed out of the crowd, Shao Xuan walked along the river bank.
In the small forest near the river bank, many branches were broken, which should have been caused last night.
When the water rises, there should be big waves, the river bank is obviously washed away, and the things inside the fish fence may be lifted by the waves.
The broken branches were not seen on the shore, nor were there any floating objects on the river.
Shao Xuan walked to the forest, broke a branch, and threw it into the river.
Branches float on the river, undulating with the waves. But after only one breath, the branches sank, and after a while, a series of bubbles popped up, like hiccups after a full meal.
The wood-eating bugs are back.
During the rainy season, those bugs may also swim downstream with the river beasts, or, like the long-tailed frogs, have another place to go, but after the full moon, the river swells back, and they also return.
If the speculation is correct, Shao Xuan felt that during the period from the end of the rainy season to the full moon, if there was a boat, he might be able to row safely in the river.
During the middle period, the river seemed to be very turbulent, but only those big-headed piranhas were active. The so-called "there are no tigers in the mountains and the monkeys are called kings" is the principle. Without a lot of natural enemies, it is no wonder that those piranhas were excited and active during that time, and they could fight for a long time with a little fishy.
Shao Xuan can't confirm whether the facts are as he guessed. It's a pity that it only happens once a year. If you want to confirm it again, you can only wait until the rainy season next year.
Back at the wooden house, Shao Xuan wrote today's observations and his guesses in a secret notepad. After writing, he carefully rolled the animal skin roll, tied it with a leather rope, put it in a stone box, and sealed it. , move the stone box to the corner under the bed.
There are many things recorded in the animal skin scroll, which Shao Xuan can't let the rest of the tribe know now. The information in it may cause panic or cause more unnecessary trouble. Now Shao Xuan's ability is limited and he can't bear the possible consequences, so he can only hide them first.
"I hope to use it one day in the future." Shao Xuan whispered.
Is there only such a tribe in this world
Now the people in the tribe, and their predecessors, from birth to death, they only have contact with people from this tribe and have never seen other tribes. They talk about other tribes just like people in previous lives talking about aliens Like people, it is too far away, it only exists in legends, but it has never been contacted.
where are the others? Who are some? Shao Xuanneng could see some from the murals in the stone room in the cave.
But how do you go to meet people from other tribes
Maybe we have to go further through the dangerous mountain forest, or maybe we just need to cross the river at the foot of the mountain...
