【Ask for recommendation vote......】
The next morning, after breakfast, Su Yan moved the rope and wooden stick he had placed in the witch activity area in the cave yesterday outside, and Wu, Derpy, the leader, and the three women gathered around Su Yan again.
Su Yan squatted down and connected the short ropes into two long ropes, and several short ropes did not move.
After that, Su Yan picked up the wooden stick, measured the distance with his fingers, handed the wooden stick to the leader, and asked the leader to break the wooden stick according to the dividing line pointed by Su Yan.
This wooden stick is relatively hard, if it is Su Yan himself, it is very difficult to break it, and it is easy to make mistakes.
According to Su Yan's words, the leader easily broke the wooden stick.
In terms of the strength of the workers who move bricks on the construction site in modern society, the power of the chief is at least twice as strong.
After a few times, Su Yan obtained twelve wooden sticks that met his requirements, put the wooden sticks on the ground, first used two parts, two long and two short four wooden sticks to make two almost rectangulars, and then used ropes to fix the two rectangles, and finally used ropes and the remaining four short wooden sticks to connect the two rectangles to form a rectangular frame.
The newly formed cuboid frame is not much different in size from the fish cage frame in front of the totem pole in the cave.
After making the cuboid frame, Su Yan used a rope to start weaving mesh on the five sides of the cuboid frame, and the six people around Su Yan watched Su Yan's movements seriously.
Interestingly, the leader did not take the hunting party out to hunt today, perhaps the leader had ordered in advance, and half of the hunting team had already set off with the fishing team to go fishing by the river.
With the experience of the previous time, this time Su Yan spent an hour and a half to complete the task of weaving the mesh on the rectangular frame, and then tied a rope to the blank section of a wooden stick, and a fish cage was made.
Su Yan handed the newly made fish cage to the leader and Wu, and the two of them carefully looked at the newly made fish cage, and then compared it with the fish cage in the cave, the two fish cages were similar, the leader and Wu grinned, and Derpy also giggled.
"Assemble, assemble." The leader shouted twice, and when he heard the sound, the remaining ten members of the hunting party came to the leader and gathered.
The leader has only heard that this fish cage is a sharp weapon for fishing, and has not seen how to fish with a fish cage with his own eyes, and the new fish cage is made, and the leader needs to go to the small river to verify it.
Not only the leader, but also Su Yan, Wu, and Derpy will go together, only Su Yan himself has used a fish cage to fish, and the new fish cage still needs to be verified by Su Yan himself, and by the way, Su Yan will also teach everyone how to fish with a fish cage.
A few minutes later, everyone came to the small river, chose a random location, Su Yan took the fish cage from the leader's hand, gently put the fish cage in his hand, and the rope was firmly grasped by Su Yan in his hand, waiting for the swimming fish to enter the cage.
The people around Su Yan were all standing quietly, only their eyes were moving, carefully observing Su Yan's every move.
The swimming fish entered the cage, and suddenly Su Yan pulled the rope fiercely, wanting to quickly pull the side of the fish cage without mesh out of the water.
Unfortunately, it failed, and the fish cage was not out of the water, so the swimming fish escaped from the fish cage flexibly.
In fact, Su Yan has only caught five fish with a fish cage, which is not a complete mastery of the method of fish cage fishing, and he still needs to try several times to master the essentials of fish cage fishing.
The first time it failed, the second time it failed, the third time it failed, the fourth time it succeeded!
After only four attempts, Su Yan caught a swimming fish weighing more than a catty, and if Su Yan tried a few more times, he would be able to catch a fish almost every three times, and if he mastered the essentials of fishing in a fish cage, the probability of success would continue to increase.
Throwing the fish out of the fish cage, Su Yan continued to put the fish cage into the water to fish, and with the attention of so many people around him, Su Yan was able to stay calm.
The first failed, the second failed, the third failed, the fourth failed, and it was not until the fifth that it was successful.
continued to fish, this time Su Yan was lucky to catch a fish on the third time.
"Oracle, teach me to fish." Seeing that Su Yan had caught three fish with a fish cage in such a short time, the leader's big mouth was never closed, and he kept grinning, and this time he also asked Su Yan to teach him to fish.
"Okay." Su Yan nodded in agreement, took out the fish in the fish cage, handed the fish cage to the leader, and then gave up his place to the leader.
"Hold the rope in your hand and put the fish cage in the water." Su Yan said to the leader.
The leader holding the fish cage came to the position where Su Yan was standing before, and after hearing Su Yan's words, he grabbed the rope with his left hand, and then slowly lowered the fish cage into the river water, so that it finally touched the bottom of the river, and the fish cage stayed quietly at the bottom of the water.
"The fish goes into the cage and pulls the rope."
The leader remembered Su Yan's words and completely focused his attention on the fish cage in the clear river water, and after a while, a swimming fish crashed into the fish cage one by one, and the leader quickly pulled the rope and quickly pulled the open side of the fish cage out of the water.
It's just that the leader is fishing with a fish cage for the first time, and the strength is big enough, but the reaction speed is still a little slower, and the fish runs away directly.
Having failed once, the leader continued to try.
The second failure, the third failure, the fourth failure, the fifth failure, the sixth success.
Taking the whole fish cage out of the river, the leader grinned as he watched the fish struggling in the cage, and the people around the leader grinned as they looked at the fish in the cage.
Taking the fish out of the cage, the leader continued to try to catch fish in the cage, and the time to catch the fish decreased almost every time he succeeded.
After the leader mastered some skills of fishing with a fishing cage, he asked others to try to fish with a fishing cage, and for the rest of the morning, Su Yan taught several clansmen how to fish with a fishing cage, both male and female, after all, the hunting team is still mainly hunting, and most of the time the fishing team comes to fish.
At noon, everyone returned to the tribe, and the leader and the witch once again held up the fish cage and said to all the tribesmen that this was an "artifact" given by God to the tribe, and at the same time once again clarified the identity of Su Yan's "divine envoy", all the clansmen should respect the divine envoy, and were not allowed to offend the divine envoy, and the identity and status of the divine envoy on the surface should be above the leader and the witch.
The leader and the witch had decided that after the hunting party hunted the prey tomorrow, the tribe would hold a large-scale sacrifice to thank the gods.
In the afternoon, Su Yan, Wu, and the leader did not go to Xiaohe, and the second fish cage was also left in the tribe, and the leader gathered more clansmen to learn how to make fish cages with Su Yan, and the number of fish cages needed by the snake tribe would definitely not be a small amount.
The first step in making a fish cage is to weave a straw rope The whole tribe has been learned by seven people, and seven people have taught other clansmen to learn to weave straw ropes, and the suitable hay in the cave has been collected by the tribesmen little by little, fortunately, there are a lot of hay in the cave, and the amount can at least meet the production of more than a dozen fish cages.
