Chapter Twenty-Four: Who Invented Fishing for "Water Meat"

After a while, Xiao Ye and Shi Da came back, and Xiao Ye reported to Uncle Gao Shan: "In the grass not far from us, there are 11 bison grazing, and the trap dug is in the southeast, we can outflank it from the northwest to the southeast with torches, and we will definitely succeed." ”

After listening to the report, after thinking for a while, Uncle Gao Shan said decisively: "This method is very good, Xiaoye, you light the torch and lead the way in front, go quickly, don't alarm the bison, the rest of the people will walk with you with wooden sticks and unlit torches, and then light the torches when you reach the destination, shout in unison, and rush towards the bison, there will be a big harvest." ”

Uncle Shi immediately said loudly: "Everyone, listen, take the torch and stick, and act immediately according to the arrangement of Uncle Gaoshan!" After listening to Uncle Shi's arrangement, everyone quickly made preparations.

Xiaoye lit the torch and quietly led the way in front, and the people followed and ran forward, and soon arrived at the destination, and sure enough, they saw 11 bison still grazing in the grass, and Xiaoye's torch quickly lit everyone's torches. Uncle Gao Shan set up an outflanking formation and shouted in unison: "Kill!" "Rush to the buffalo grazing! The bison suddenly heard the shouting of killing, and saw the people rushing with sticks and terrible torches, and hurriedly fled in the direction of the southeast where there was no one, and the people kept killing and chased after them, and the bison ran desperately, and after a while, several bison fell into the trap, and the other bison had fled away, and the people did not chase anymore. It was found that there were five traps with bison, and even one trap with two bison, which filled the trap to the brim. Caught 6 bison in one go!

The people of the Shiyan tribe danced happily, and a lady said happily: "My God, how can I eat so many bison after catching them!" Uncle Gao Shan told Uncle Shi about the reserve method. Uncle Shi was very happy when he heard this, and immediately arranged for everyone to kill the bison, except for the ones that were about to be eaten, all the rest were cut into strips of meat, meat pieces, roasted into dried meat and stored for plowing, and only eaten when there was a shortage of food in the future.

On this day, the weather was very good, the sun was shining, and Uncle Gao Shan wanted to check the nameless island to see if there were enough people to live in, and wanted to find a way for the mountain tribe. Xiao Ye accompanied his father, Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Mu walked all the way, just walked to the lake, Xiao Ye saw a lot of "water meat", he approached to see that "water meat" was eating the intestines of bison. It turned out that the intestines of the bison that people had killed and no one had eaten, so they were thrown into the water by the lake, and they became food for "water meat", and they all came to fight for food. Xiao Ye bent down to take a closer look, and found that the "water meat" swallowed a section of intestines, and the intestines were not easy to bite off, he reached out and grabbed the intestines, and easily lifted a large "water meat", and quickly caught the "water meat". Everyone was very happy, and Xiao Ye went to catch the intestines by the lake again, and caught two big "water meats". Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Mu were interested, and they also came to participate in the war, and after a while, they fished up all the intestines by the lake, and caught more than 20 big "water meats" in total.

Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "It's easy to catch so many "water meat", and it's time to eat delicious food today." Several people were very happy and prepared to get these "water meat" back.

At this time, Xiao Ye saw a lot of "water meat" and refused to leave, swimming around the lake in search of food. He thought about it for a while, then took a stone knife, cut off the intestines, held one end in his hand, and put the other end into the water. Xiao Ye was very happy, he took a stone knife close to the mouth of the "water meat", cut off the intestines, and put the other end in the water.

Uncle Gao Shan smiled and said, "We all learn to fish." With Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu learned Xiaoye's method, and after a while, he caught more than 100 "water meat". The more they fished, the happier they became, and if they cut one section of their intestines, they would lose one section, which was already very short and could not be put in the water.

The clever Xiaoye thought for a moment, broke a branch on the tree, tied the short intestine to the tip of the branch, and only put a short section of intestines into the water, a "water meat" quickly swallowed the intestines into the stomach, Xiaoye lifted the branch, and fished the "water meat" again. Uncle Gao Shan, Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Mu also learned from Xiaoye, all broke branches and plugged intestines to fish for "water meat", a few people seemed to play a game, fishing laughing, and after a while, a lot of "water meat" was piled up on the shore.

Uncle Shi didn't see Uncle Gao Shan for a long time, he came along the lake, heard Uncle Gao Shan's happy laughter, for some reason, he hurried over, and saw a lot of "water meat" on the shore, he said in surprise: "You didn't go into the water, why did you catch so many "water meat".

Uncle Gao Shan smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, come and give it a try, you can also fish for "water meat". Uncle Gao Shan handed the branch in his hand to Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi saw that the tip of the branch was tied to the intestines, he curiously took the branch and put it in the water, several water and meat fought to eat, and was scrambled into the stomach by a big "water meat", Uncle Gao Shan shouted: "Uncle Shi quickly lift it." Uncle Shi mentioned it in his hand, and a big "water meat" was caught, and Uncle Shi at this time was as happy as a child, shouting: "I can fish for "water meat"!" Again, again. Uncle Gao Shan tied a section of intestines to him on the branch, Uncle Shi gently put it into the water, just put it into the water just a "water meat" swam to swallow into the stomach, Uncle Shi mentioned the branch, this "water meat" was caught, Uncle Shi was very happy, shouted "I fished another one, come again." ”

They fished one after another, and finally the intestines were gone, and Xiaoye dragged the intestines from the mouth of the "water meat" and tied them to the branch to catch another one. A few people caught more than 200 pieces of water meat, and Uncle Gao Shan said happily: "Get all of them to the big fire, please eat delicious." ”

It was a lively night, and the people of the Shiyan tribe asked curiously, "Can you eat the things swimming in this water?" Uncle Takayama smiled and said, "You can eat it, it's much better than beef, use a branch to put it in your mouth, put it in the fire and eat it, it's delicious, but you must pay attention to the small bone spurs." People learn to eat after the barbecue, and everyone says, "This is delicious, so delicious!" "More than 200 pieces of water and meat were eaten, and everyone had a beautiful meal.

Uncle Shi spoke: "Where did the delicious food you eat today come from, do you know?" Uncle Gao Shan they did not go into the water, is with the intestines of the bison that everyone lost, I also learned to catch a few, today to kill the bison, the intestines can not be lost, but also want to eat delicious tomorrow everyone learns to fish "water meat", very easy to learn, a learning will, the nameless lake "water meat" is very much, is not finished, in the future we eat a few days of beef, mutton, and eat another day of "water meat", our days are getting better and better. These good days were brought to us by Uncle Gao Shan, and we should thank them well. People nodded happily in approval, and they were very grateful to Uncle Gao Shan.

The next day can be lively, along the lake are fishing "water meat" people, everyone holds branches, tied to the intestines to learn to fish "water meat", here is shouting fishing, there is another big "water meat" fishing, a laugh is followed by a burst of laughter, Uncle Shi unified command, a while to catch more than 300 "water meat".

Uncle Shi shouted: "I can't finish eating, everyone call it a day." At this time, the interest of people fishing for "water meat" is high, no one refuses to go, the more they fish, the happier they are, the laughter continues, and a total of more than 900 "water meat" are caught in half a day.

Uncle Shi shouted again: "Everyone is done, get the "water meat" next to the fire, and everyone barbecues the "water meat" to eat at noon." Only then did people stop fishing for "water meat", and put all the "water meat" around the fire, and happily barbecued "water meat" to eat, and everyone ate the beautiful "water meat", so unhappy......

That night, Uncle Gao Shan smiled and said to Uncle Shi: "Uncle Shi, tomorrow we are going to go to the Nameless Island to have a look, to see if the Nameless Island can live people, I think, our Gaoshan tribe now lives in a much worse place than here, and the number of people is growing, it is difficult to survive, if the Nameless Island can live people, our tribe is ready to move there to live." Uncle Shi replied, "Okay, tomorrow I will accompany you to Nameless Island with Shi Da."

After that, Uncle Shi arranged for Shi Da, and Shi Er immediately went to inform Sister Caoping and Brother Grassland that they would come to the Shiyan tribe early tomorrow morning and accompany Uncle Gao Shan to the Nameless Island. Because Uncle Gao Shan did his best and selflessly helped the three tribes, he was very powerful in the three tribes, and they were very grateful to Uncle Gao Shan, and they also liked to listen to his arrangements and commands, and he had become a great benefactor and leader in the minds of the three tribes.

Early the next morning, everyone was barbecue beef around the fire, Sister Caoping and Brother Caoyuan smoked cigarettes and rushed to the Shiyan tribe. ”

Brother Prairie smiled and said, "Let's accompany Uncle Gao Shan to go to Nameless Island today." Uncle Gao Shan smiled and said, "Thank you so much." ”

Brother Prairie said: "You're welcome, Uncle Gaoshan, you have helped us too much, you have brought us fire, taught us to catch so many wild things, and made us live a good life with fire, so we should thank you for being old." ”

Sister Caoping also smiled and said: "Uncle Gao Shan's kindness to us, we don't know how to repay it yet, Uncle Gao Shan is going to Nameless Island, and we should accompany you to the old one." ”

At this time, Xiaoye came back from the lake, took a circle of teng strips in his hand, and said, "I cut teng strips from the trees by the lake, and I will not be afraid to cross the single-plank bridge today." Uncle Shi greeted everyone warmly and said, "The meat has been barbecued, everyone eat the barbecue." ”

Uncle Gao Shan said, "Okay, when we are full, we will take wooden sticks, stone axes, and stone knives, and smoke and go." So, everyone gathered around the fire and ate delicious barbecue, and everyone ate well.
