There are fewer fish on the riverbank, and Lin Ji and a few other children with three nets are also pitifully reaping. Later, the three of them swept a stream across the river and barely managed to get a basket of harvest.

This harvest is not only fish and shrimp. They also caught several turtles, large and small, three or four snakes, and a greedy waterfowl.

Snakes are everywhere in this era, but fortunately, no one in the three friends of the forest is afraid of this.

Dunmu dared to grab the cobra when it bared its teeth, and then threw it like a whip, and finally threw out the snake's intestines. If Lin Ji didn't have a stick or anything in his hand, he would never dare to approach.

Back at noon, Bearpaw was digging by the river in the sun, and the five men who had gone to cut bamboo had returned.

Each of the five men brought only a small handful of bamboo, and then unceremoniously picked out the snake from the basket. Snakes have only one backbone, which can be said to have more meat and less bones, and when they are roasted and then skinned, they will eat it when they are full of tender meat.

"What about the eagle?" Lin Ji asked with a glare. It doesn't matter if you bring back less things, you can't say that if you go and cut a bamboo, you will lose people.

"He's lame and stupid, and he's going to come back along the river, who knows?" The man replied with a dead fish eye.

Who knows what follows, who knows where he went? Who knows if he'll ever be able to come back?

However, these people did not have to be arrogant for long, and they were reprimanded by the bear's paw and went to dig a pit. This is the grinding of the wicked by the wicked.

The bamboo that the five of them got back was just enough to build a raft, and after Lin Ji and his friends had lunch, they got busy.

Use sharp stone chips to cut off the branches and leaves, use stones to break the bamboo tube, make a relatively uniform length, drag back and forth on the sand to grind off the burrs on the bamboo skin, and finally tie it up with a rope and a crossbar.

"How many?" The forest trails lined up the bamboo and asked.

"Eighteen." The red monkey came as soon as he opened his mouth.

“…… Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-six. Stonebeak silently counted and replied.

"Dunmu?"

"What's after eight?"

“…… Nine. ”

It's a part-time job. Bring these together at the right time, and they will know what the use of counting is.

Steel bamboo is relatively cold-resistant, but the diameter is relatively small, generally less than ten centimeters. The forest trails put it together in two rows.

It was about three or four o'clock when the raft was launched.

The raft is more than one meter wide and about eight meters long, with four crossbars tied horizontally in the middle.

As the four-and-a-half-year-old child pushed it into the water, a crowd of people watched from the sidelines. All but the children came. A few old people such as Daji Bear Paw also arrived at the river. The men who dug the pond dug the pond and naturally stood on the side.

A few old people had seen the boats of the Li bream department, and they were very disappointed when they saw that this raft was different from the boat of the Li bream department.

"I just said how can bamboo be used to make boats, make it look like this, useful?"

"The boats of the Li bream department need to be lifted by the river god to not sink, and these guys are just messing around."

"When I was younger, I saw someone use driftwood as a boat, and the man tumbled down."

"Let's see."

Lin Ji jumped up with a bamboo pole first, shook it for a while, and took a few steps over there.

The remaining three children were a little hesitant on the side. Although they dared to cross the river, they were still landlubbers, and when they saw the fluttering raft, they slipped out a little when they jumped on it, and they did not dare to jump up.

"It's fine, the buoyancy is good. Come on. Lin Ji jumped twice on it and found that the raft had sunk less than a third. I am very confident that I can bring all four children on board.

Da Ji nodded to the people around her, and it didn't seem like she was going to roll. But it will be interesting to see how it goes.

"Hey, hey, hey. You can try it first. Bear Paw was smiling on the shore, seemingly full of intrigue.

In these years, there are many snakes and fish in the water, and people cannot give a reasonable explanation for the phenomenon of drowning people, and the underwater is almost said to be another world of water ghosts, so the people of the tribe are generally active in the shallow water, and there are almost no swimmers, and the deep water area is almost a hellish existence.

Lin Ji took the children to fish on the shore, and also subconsciously avoided the deep water. Lin Ji is known that the fish in these places are not easy to catch. Others are afraid.

Bearpaw seemed to see the forest trail disappearing into the deep water, so he smiled proudly.

"Then I'll try it first." Seeing that these people were afraid of water, Lin Ji propped up the penny and went to the middle of the river.

The mother and Da Ji by the river were slightly nervous. For mothers, forest trails are meal tickets. For Daji, Lin Ji is worth more than a young and strong existence. If they were dragged away by the water ghost or something like this, they would all be distressed.

On the water, the forest trail rowed into the river, looking down into the water from time to time. In autumn, the water is clear, and you can see fish swimming in the water from time to time.

"I'll go. Cast it all down, it's all meat. Lin Ji murmured in the river.

"It's over, it's over, the trail is being held down by the water ghost." Zhu Monkey and other children were secretly anxious on the shore. Da Ji and several other old people also showed some worry on their faces.

Lin Ji looked here and there, and then rowed a raft upstream, picking up a bamboo pole from the water.

"You put bamboo upstream?" Lin Ji asked loudly to the man on the shore.

When the bamboo pole came out of the water, it really scared a lot of people. Thought it was something weird. After seeing that it was a bamboo pole, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"The lame eagle lost it." The man on the shore said lightly.

When the forest trail looked up, he saw more bamboo floating downstream. Most of the bamboos broken by the emotional men floated down from the river. On the banks of the river upstream, there was something jumping in the grass, a limping eagle.

"Hey!" Lin Ji waved his hand at the eagle. Then he propped up the raft and paddled upstream.

Everyone's eyes followed, lest the forest trail disappear into the water. I saw that the forest trail had rowed into a deep pool, and then rowed over unscathed, and caught the eagle on the shore. Then make a U-turn and paddle downstream.

On the raft, the eagle's performance was far inferior to that of Lin Ji, and he stood crookedly on one foot, and his crutches did not seem to be very steady. He sat down when Lin Ji said something to him, and then poked his head out to look at the water, a smile on his face.

The eagle carries a bow around its neck. He looked at the water, and suddenly took it down, drew his arrow, drew his bow, and shot diagonally into the water.

"They're shooting water ghosts?" The red monkey's face turned a little white with fright. The pier wood and the stone beak also looked at each other.

The arrow slowly floated up, and sure enough, it seemed to be pierced with something transparent, and nothing could be seen. Well, this should be a miss.

Lin Ji gestured with the eagle, pointed vertically under the water, and then shouted to the shore, "Throw a short spear here." ”

Stone Beak picked up the bone spear of Lin Ruin, and a man next to him grabbed it casually, and with a wave of his hand, he threw it out thirty or forty meters and landed on the side of Lin Ruin's raft.

Lin Ji picked up the bone spear and handed it to the eagle, and then stopped paddling.

The eagle held the spear and looked at the water quietly, when suddenly the spear plunged into the water, and something was picked up from the water.

"I've stabbed the water ghost." Zhu Monkey shouted.

I saw that in the splash, a big fish flew up and fell on the raft.

Da Ji looked at the river and smiled. This raft succeeded.
