Chapter 58: Fishing

The banks of the river are covered with tall trees, and the vines on the trees hang down, and some of them have even soaked into the river. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info There has been no rain these days, and the water level of the river is low, but it has not dried up.

An Su looked at the river that meandered and disappeared into the depths of the jungle, and said to Li Kai, "Let's make a raft and go down the river." ”

"But the water level is too low to float." Li Kai said.

"Wait until it rains."

They skillfully build shelters and raise fires. Today's food is finally not snakes, frogs, and insects, and Ansu plans to catch fish in the river. Ansu looked closely at them and found that their open and closed mouths were full of teeth as sharp as an awl, and those with such teeth were generally carnivorous. Ansu knew that there were piranhas in the waters of the jungle, and this inconspicuous palm-sized fish should be an alien piranha. They swim leisurely under the water, the sun shining on their backs, sparkling blue, and the red circles around their eyes are particularly noticeable. It's hard to see their murderous nature now.

Despite her powerful healing powers, Ansu still doesn't rush into uncharted waters, and she decides to make a bow and arrow, and shoot with arrows. If you use a harpoon, you're going to go into the water.

Ansu expertly chops tough branches, twists the bark into a rope to make a bowstring, and then sharpens a few arrows, the tail of which is tied to Ansu's wrist. If she hits the fish in this way, she doesn't have to go into the water, she just pulls the rope and pulls the fish back.

After making it, Ansu tried it on the ground a few times to find some sensations before walking to the river and waiting for some fish to swim closer. The area of Ansu Station is a large area of shade, and you can see that the bottom of the water is covered with yellowish and blackened rotten leaves, so it is easy to spot fish swimming over.

Shooting fish requires the same patience as fishing. Li Kai gathered some more firewood and came back, but An Su still kept that movement motionless, almost like a tree on the shore.

Suddenly, Ansu moved, she quickly pulled the string, released the arrow, the movement was extremely fast, in an instant, the arrow shot into the water, hitting a fish. The surface of the water suddenly boiled, the smell of blood spread under the water, and the fish that had been swimming leisurely under the water suddenly swam over like a drug, and bit the same kind of person who had been hit by the arrow. Ansu immediately pulled the rope back, the rope cut an arc in the air, and the arrow was wearing a fish that had been bitten almost half, and the tail and back of the fish were each biting a fish, and they would not let go. Ansule pulled them ashore together.

After coming ashore, they slapped their bodies violently on the ground, but they still did not let go. Li Kai walked over and showed a playful smile. "Captain, this is killing three birds with one stone?"

Ansu untied the rope in his hand: "You take care of them, I'll go around the neighborhood and choose some wood to make a raft." The bitten one will be kept for the first time, and it will be used as bait tomorrow. ”

Li Kai scooped some water with a bamboo tube in another place on the shore, picked some large leaves and spread them on the ground, and began to kill fish. The fish were so ferocious that Li Kai stoned them half to death and cut off their heads. He washed the surface of the sediment with river water, scaled it, broke the belly, dug up the internal organs, washed it again, wrapped the fish in fresh leaves, and tied the outside with bark to form a wrap. The head and entrails of the fish were buried far away.

Li Kai does not grill the fish directly on the fire, he prefers to wrap the fish in fresh leaves, then coat the outside of the leaves with a layer of mud, and then set aside the fire and put them into the fire to roast. With all that done, he could go and help the captain haul the timber back.

There is no shortage of wood in the jungle, and Ansu is looking for balsa wood, which is low in density and tends to float on the surface of the water, and can make a crisp sound when struck. Ansu selected two thicker trees and began to chop them little by little with his saber, and when he reached a certain level, he knocked them down. When the first tree fell, Li Kai came over and dragged it to the river. Ansu cut down the second one and dragged it back.

The jungle had completely darkened, and the surrounding area was beginning to glow with sporadic lights. The sound of insects came and went. Among so many light sources, it is still the light emitted by the flame that is reassuring.

Li Kai had already pulled the mud wrapped in the fish out of the fire, and Ansu could eat it together when he returned. Peel off the mud and uncover the wrapped leaves, and the smell of fish spreads. Ansu sandwiched a piece of snow-white fish meat with a twig, although there was no salt, but it had its own fresh and sweet taste.

"Not bad." An Su nodded at Li Kai and commented. It seems that in the past few years, everyone has not only become survival experts, but also improved their cooking skills. I remember that in the past, Li Kai had always only moved his mouth, preferring to drink tasteless nutrient solution and eat dry marching food. However, the federation generally pursues efficiency, and housekeeping robots take care of housework, and few people really do it themselves.

"Of course." Li Kai raised his chin proudly, the life of living alone in the past few years has not been in vain.

After eating the fish, drinking the boiled river water, and resting, Ansu took advantage of the long night to divide the two trees into six sections. So for almost the whole night, the sound of chopping wood was heard in the jungle.

Early the next morning, the trees overhead were rattling, and a group of monkeys were about to cross the river, and one by one they jumped from branch to branch on the other, squeaking, although noisy, but still very agile, like swinging, grabbing a branch or vine and swinging to the opposite branch. But when a man stumbled, a horse stumbled, and a monkey missed, a monkey did not catch a branch on the other side and fell into the river, making a big splash and alarming all the animals in the river. Although the monkey in the water desperately tried to swim to the other side, a large group of piranhas dragged it under the water and divided it. Ansu saw a blood flower blooming on the surface of the river. She looked at the wood that had been divided, and decided to make the raft stronger than ever.

When the river was calm again, Ansu threw the fishing rod made from tree branches. The line is made of vines, and the hook is made from a section of the barbed vine, and the long thorn hooks the fish that was bitten by the piranha yesterday, and after a night, the flesh has begun to stink, but these alien piranhas should not be picky eaters.

The fish sank into the water, and Ansu quickly felt the fishing rod in her hand sink downward, and when the fishing line was tight, she suddenly flung upward, and a blue-backed and red-eyed alien piranha was caught by Ansu. (To be continued.) )
