On the second day, Li Shu and others did not go fishing, but went hunting with the tribe members.
Several people were walking in the dense jungle.
Huang Yun said with a smile: "Their hunting method is so amazing. It's a blowgun. This is the first time I've seen a blowgun in real life. I've only seen it in movies and TV shows before.
There is a feeling of film and television stills coming into reality. "
Li Shu smiled and nodded.
The blowgun is shaped like a 2-meter-long thin bamboo pole, with a hollow interior containing quenched arrows about 10 centimeters long.
Tribal members only need to blow lightly from one end, and the poisonous arrows will be fired from the other end, killing the prey silently.
Sunlight passes through the dense forest and forms light spots on the ground.
Soon a member of the Big Mouth tribe spotted a monkey in the tree and waved his hand.
For a moment the other tribe members hunched over in silence.
The little girl was held in Jing Lao Er's arms. She, Li Shu, Huang Yun and others watched nervously.
Members of the Dazui tribe raised a 2-meter-long blowgun, pointing one end at their own mouths and the other end at the monkeys on the tree more than 10 meters high.
"Zhizhi~"
The monkey was eating wild bananas, unaware of the approaching danger.
The man with the big mouth blew lightly, and whoosh~ a poisonous arrow, which was slender and had a green tip, instantly shot out from the other end, cut through the air, and pierced the monkey directly.
Pa da~
The monkey struggled twice, rolled his eyes, and fell directly from the tree to the ground. The dry leaves were shattered.
"Oh! Woo! Oh! Woo!!"
In an instant, the tribe members shouted with joy and danced. Li Shu and Huang Yun looked at each other and smiled, feeling very interesting.
Tour guides Gu Jiamu and Yaz came to Li Shu.
Yaz smiled and said: "A long time ago, there were many wild boars and bears in the woods. At that time, it was enough to hunt a large animal.
But now there are a lot less large animals, so in order to eat enough, we have to hunt a lot of small prey. "
Gu Jiamu then said with a smile: "Of course there is no shortage of small prey, you just have to be patient and look for it."
Li Shu nodded.
Huang Yun blinked her beautiful eyes and asked curiously in Malay: "What is the blowgun made of?"
Gu Jiamu smiled and said: "It is made from the core of palm trees. This is a craft. Only the blowgun made by the old patriarch is the best in the tribe. It has a long range and the poisonous arrows do not fly."
He saw that Li Shu and Huang Yun were curious about the blowgun, so he reached out and took a blowgun from a tribesman. He handed the blowgun to Li Shu for viewing.
Gu Jiamu's father was born in this tribe, but his father later settled in the city and came back occasionally. Gu Jiamu often returned to the tribe to play when he was a child.
When he grew up, Gu Jiamu often brought back things that were not available here, such as clothes, salt, iron knives, iron arrows, etc., so his status in the tribe was also very high.
Perhaps due to frequent use, the appearance of the blowgun is jade-like and has a thick patina.
"let me try."
"No problem, but aiming is a bit difficult, because the farther the distance is, the more obvious the arc of the poison arrow's trajectory will be due to the influence of gravity."
Everyone walked carefully in the woods.
After advancing for more than a hundred meters, Li Shu saw a red-headed pheasant not far away. He raised his blowgun and aimed at the pheasant.
Gu Jiamu opened his mouth. He wanted to remind Li Shu that the red-headed pheasant was extremely difficult to catch. It was very smart, agile and fast.
Red-headed pheasants are not a good target.
"Whoosh~"
A red-headed pheasant was walking around not far away. Li Shu spotted the moment when the pheasant raised its foot and was about to drop it, he blew out a poisonous arrow.
"Goooo~"
The poisonous arrows were very fast, and by the time the red-headed pheasant tried to escape, it was already too late. The poisonous arrows pierced his flesh and blood, and the red-headed pheasant struggled for a moment and stopped moving.
"Cow!" Gu Jiamu gave Li Shu a thumbs up, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Yaz was also very excited and gave Li Shu a thumbs up again and again: "I hunt a lot, so I know which prey are the hardest to catch.
The red-headed pheasant is the most difficult prey to catch, bar none! Usually when we encounter red-headed pheasants, we choose to ignore them. "
"Oh, why is this?" Huang Yun asked curiously. She felt honored when her husband was sincerely praised.
Gu Jiamu then laughed and said: "Because the probability of hunting a red-headed pheasant is too low, and the poisonous arrows are very thin, if the poisonous arrows are not inserted into the prey, they may not be found.
The production of each poison arrow is very laborious, and the loss of any one makes people feel distressed for a long time. "
"I see."
Li Shu nodded, feeling a little appreciative of Gu Jiamu and Yaz. When he just aimed at the red-headed pheasant, they might have thought they were going to lose a poisonous arrow, but they still didn't stop him.
Other tribe members picked up the red-headed pheasant and raised it high in joy. The colorful and charming hair on the pheasant's tail reflected the sunlight, and the colors changed at different angles. It was very beautiful.
"Oh! Woo!"
The other tribe members shouted excitedly.
Li Shu thought for a while and imitated their example and shouted: "Oh! Woo!"
The tribe members were even more excited when they saw Li Shu and said "Oh! Woo!" even louder.
Huang Yun instantly laughed out loud. She felt that Li Shu was very interesting, as if she had connected with the tribe members in the original language.
The group stayed in the woods for several hours and hunted several monkeys, a deer, 9 pig badgers (huan), 3 dog badgers, 3 rabbits, several red-headed pheasants, etc.
Great harvest!
Everyone walked back.
Huang Yun walked to the right of Li Shu and looked at a pig badger and a dog badger that Li Shu was carrying with a wooden stick.
She laughed and said: "It turns out that pig badgers and dog badgers are not the same animal, and pig badgers are not wild boars. Before, I thought pig badgers were wild boars, but they are called differently in different regions."
The little girl was being held by Jing Laoer, and she was playing with two colorful pheasant tail feathers in her hands.
Li Shu smiled and said: "Pig badgers and wild boars are different. Pig badgers and dog badgers are both members of the Mustelidae family. They look similar but have different genera and species.
Wild boars are members of the Suidae family.
Wild boars can weigh hundreds of kilograms, while pig badgers and dog badgers weigh only a few kilograms to a dozen kilograms, which are very small. "
Huang Yun nodded her little head: "I have learned a lot."
After staying in the tribe for a few more hours, Li Shu and others left by car in the evening. Many members of the tribe came to see them off. The old patriarch also gave Li Shu two pheasants and two pig badgers.
Li Shu couldn't refuse, so he accepted it and put it in the trunk of the car.
Buzz buzz~
The car gradually moved away, and the cool wind blew in from the window, ruffling Huang Yun's hair.
She looked at the tribe members from a distance, then turned back to Li Shu and said, "If we say goodbye today, maybe we will never come to this tribe again in this life, and we will never see Yaz, the old patriarch and others again."
Li Shu, who was sitting on the left, put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile: "Oh, look forward, we will meet other interesting people and things in the future."
"Uh-huh."
It was already dark when everyone returned to Kuching by car. When bidding farewell to the tour guide Gu Jiamu, Li Shu gave him the balance of RM20,000 and gave him a red envelope of RMB3,000.
Gu Jiamu was very happy. Counting the money given to him before, he got 33,000 ringgit from this trip, which was equal to his income last year.
"Boss, come and play again when you have time!" Gu Jiamu smiled eagerly and waved on tiptoes. He felt that Li Shu was really handsome.
"It's easy to talk." Li Shu felt a chill, and then left with Huang Yun and others.
Far away, Huang Yun smiled and teased Li Shu: "Boss, come and play again when you have time~"
Huang Yun's little smile with narrowed eyes was very cute. Li Shu said viciously: "You need to take care of it, right?"
"Bah~ I'm not sure who will deal with who." Huang Yun's pretty face turned red.
