Chapter 8: The Gift of God

In the afternoon, there were two more people in the fishing team, Wu and his disciple Derpy, and the adults naturally scattered around Wu and Derpy as they walked.

In addition, Su Yan and his fish cage are indispensable in the team, Wu rarely leaves the tribe's residence, once he leaves, there are more important things to happen, and today's trip is precisely because of Su Yan and his fish cage.

In every tribe, adults are the most important, and the vast majority of the food in the tribe is obtained by adults, and it is precisely because of the food obtained by adults that the tribe survives tenaciously on the earth.

And now, a minor can get food with a tool made by himself, which has attracted the attention of Wu, and even Wu's heart is a little eager to verify whether this thing is true, and if he wants to verify the authenticity, he must see it with his own eyes.

By the small river, Su Yan stood at the front and carefully put the fish cage into the river.

Next to Su Yan, Wu carefully observed Su Yan's movements.

Derpy and the rest of the fishing team are all around the two of them, and fishing is no longer their top priority.

Not catching fish is just a little less harvest, at most some people in the tribe have to go hungry, and if they don't eat a meal, they won't starve to death, and protecting witches is the most important thing.

While they are paying attention to Wu, they are also paying attention to all the people they care about.

Swish!

A swimming fish weighing nearly two catties crashed into the fish cage, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Su Yan quickly pulled up the rope, and the end of the fish cage opened quickly surfaced, and the swimming fish struggled desperately in the fish cage, and could not get out of trouble.

It's off to a good start.

"Wow!"

Everyone shouted excitedly when they saw Su Yan catch a fish so quickly, this is incredible, especially since Su Yan is still a child.

Su Yan pulled the fish cage back to the shore, Wu squatted down and looked at the fish cage and the struggling swimming fish in the fish cage, and tapped the swimming fish twice with his hand, already understanding the role of this tool in his heart.

"Go on, fishing." Wu said to Su Yan.

"Okay." Su Yan nodded slightly, found a wooden stick the thickness of an adult's finger, inserted it directly into the mouth of the swimming fish full of sharp teeth, and then took the swimming fish out of the fish cage and threw it on the ground at will, and put the fish cage back into the river.

Moments later, another fish crashed into the cage, and as the cage rose with the force of the rope, the fish quickly turned around and fled from the cage, failing to catch the fish a second time.

It is normal to fail to catch, the first time you are lucky to catch a fish, if you can catch a fish twice in a row, then Su Yan has become a master of fishing, or this fish cage has become a fishing artifact.

Wu didn't say anything because of the failure of the second fishing, and continued to observe Su Yan's movements.

Keep fishing.

The third time, failed.

Fourth, failure.

The fifth time, it still failed.

Take a deep breath, calm down, and for the sixth time, success!

Another swimming fish was caught in the cage, and the mood of the people on the shore became more and more high, this fish cage is simply a sharp weapon for fishing, a child can rely on the fish cage to catch fish, if it were replaced by their adults, will they catch more fish.

Although fish is the worst food in the recipe of the snake tribe, no matter how bad the fish is, it is still food, it is better than being hungry and full, whether the food is good or not is not the most important, being able to eat is the most important thing.

Su Yan put the fish cage on the shore, and just wanted to take out the fish in the fish cage to continue fishing, when an unexpected thing happened.

Suddenly, Wu knelt down directly at Su Yan or the fish cage in Su Yan's hand, raised his hands high, and shouted loudly: "This is given to us (the tribe) by God, thank my God, praise my God......" (approximate meaning)

Just a few breaths after Wu knelt down, the adults also knelt down, and even the children around them were dragged to their knees by the adults.

Only Su Yan was still standing by the river, at a loss, but he thought in his heart: "The fish cage was made by me, how did it become a gift from God." ”

For the current scene, Su Yan is very speechless.

Su Yan knew that the god in the witch's mouth was the totem of the snake tribe, and in the cave where the tribesmen slept, there was also a wooden totem pole taller than an adult, on which a long snake was depicted.

Whenever the tribe performs a sacrificial activity, the totem pole will be moved out and erected on the ground, and the witch will sing some unintelligible songs around the totem pole and dance some dances that Su Yan thought were very funny.

After a few minutes, Wu stopped praising God, slowly stood up, solemnly took the fish cage from Su Yan's hand, and raised it above his head, and the surrounding clansmen still bowed to the two people in the middle, never daring to raise their heads, as if they were afraid of being disrespectful to God and being punished by God.

The afternoon fishing task was temporarily stopped, and under the escort of the fishing team, everyone returned to the tribe, and in the process of walking, Wu kept chanting words in his mouth, but Su Yan, who was following Wu, could not hear what Wu was saying.

The tribe's residence is only more than 200 meters away from the river, but it also has to pass through a short distance of woods, and there may be danger, so the fishing team can only escort Wu, Derpy, Su Yan and the fish cage back to the tribe.

After returning to the tribe, standing in front of the cave, Wu once again raised his hands high in the cage with a dying fish inside, causing more than 100 tribesmen to kneel and worship, and only Wu and Su Yan were still standing in the venue.

Wu is qualified to stand, Su Yan should also be qualified, anyway, no one will pull Su Yan to kneel.

After the praise of the gods, the fishing team left the tribe and went to the small river to continue fishing, but the children who had been following them before stayed, they stared at Su Yan with blank eyes, if Su Yan turned to look at them, they would quickly lower their heads, not daring to look at Su Yan.

Not only children, but even adults didn't dare to look at Su Yan, only Xiaohua and Xiaoyue, the two children closest to Su Yan, could look at Su Yan a few times, but they quickly lowered their heads.

Wu gently placed the fish cage in front of the somewhat blackened totem pole, and bowed to the totem pole, Derpy kept his head down and knelt on the ground, as long as Su Yan was still standing, carefully observing the surrounding scene.

It was the first time for Su Yan to come to the area of witch activity in the cave, which was relatively dark, but because it was daytime, Su Yan could clearly see that there were many pictures and words carved on the wall, and many pictures and words were also carved on the irregular stone slabs piled up on the ground, as well as several frightened stone slabs, waiting for Wu to carve words on them.

There are also several large animal skins on the ground, they are the beds and bedding of witches and dukes, and in the snake tribe, even the leaders sleep on the grass and have animal skins as quilts.

After Wu finished worshipping the god, Wu looked at Su Yan and said two words: "God X." ”

Su Yan knew that the first word was "god", and the pronunciation of the second word was very strange, Su Yan heard this word for the first time, and he didn't know what this word meant for a while.
