Chapter 27: Rich Rivers
To go to the river, the necessary preparations must be made. The pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info brought him one for the fangs of the tiger, and gave him a spear for the tribe to catch crocodiles. The strong ox will follow, so he will bring a bow, arrows, and a basket on his back. Wang Chuan took the rope net and took another spike from Bihu. That's all there is to it.
Then the spirit and the other children did not follow. After all, the riverside is still relatively dangerous. It's not good to look at the child when you go too much, and it's a big problem to run around and encounter crocodiles.
The products along the river are really abundant. As for this kind of thing, the adults who hunted crocodiles brought some back from time to time, and so far they have woven twenty or thirty nets, and it is said that there is no such thing by the river.
In addition to crocodiles, adults occasionally bring back turtles and turtles, saying that they were picked up by the river......
The autumn wind blows, and the grass and trees are now golden by the Yeyuan River, and hundreds of birds are flying. The water in the river is falling and the fish are jumping into the shallow water.
The strong cow drooled at the fish in the river, but Wang Chuan was attracted by the bamboo shoots on the bank of the river. This thing is the later generation of the white man, and now the white is old at this time. But the wild rice is ripe. The rice cooked with wild rice is the famous carved hu rice in later generations, it is said that it is soft and glutinous and sweet, and it is extremely delicious, and later generations have never had the opportunity to see it, but I did not expect that there is such a large piece here now.
Thinking of the rice he hadn't eaten for a long time, Wang Chuan's saliva was about to flow down. Launch Operation Bull to get a little more before the birds eat it. Bihu is clumsy with hands and feet, just watch to see if there is a crocodile with no eyes approaching.
The three of them went deep into the reeds and grass, and gained a lot along the way. Bihu is a little puzzled by this, isn't it just a little grass seed, what's so strange. Zhuang Niu knew that it was food, so he had no doubts at all. Wang Chuan said that it could be eaten, it must be delicious, and those bamboo rats didn't eat much at noon, so they were all eaten by the strong man next to him, and they didn't tell him about these delicious things at night.
When the three of them walked to the river, the back basket of the strong ox was full, and it was only after pressing it that it was filled a little more. This thing looks like a lot, but it's really nothing compared to the dozens of people in the tribe.
In the river or in the pond by the river, the scene of driftwood floating is gone. Crocodiles have either been hunted or have found a place to dig into the ground to hibernate. Not far away, men from several tribes were hunting crocodiles.
The crocodiles on the shore could not be seen, Wang Chuan stipulated that they could not go into the water, and the crocodile harvest of the tribe did not decrease, which was also Wang Chuan's surprise how they hunted crocodiles.
Bihu is also very curious about the crocodile, this kind of thing he has seen in Daze, extremely vicious, and other idlers are incapable of defeating it. In the past few days in the tribe, he was shocked to learn that the River tribe had become what it is now by eating this fierce beast. Now that he can see the tribesmen catching crocodiles, how could he miss it?
The people of the tribe were simple-minded, and Wang Chuan said that they couldn't go into the water, so they wouldn't go into the water. When the crocodiles don't come ashore, they use various methods to lure them to or near the shore. Now that the crocodiles have been digging holes and hibernating, they get the crocodiles out of the ground.
It's not easy to get a crocodile out of a hole. In order to protect against the cold, crocodiles generally dig holes with their own turns or bury the holes. A few stabs with a long-pole stone spear along the hole dug by the crocodile only made a little bit of sand, as if nothing had been pierced.
After a few people who had been waiting for a battle with a spear and a net, they walked out of one person, approached the entrance of the cave, squatted down and picked up a lot of soil from the entrance of the cave, and then took the stone spear and put it into the bucket.
This was repeated several times, and the people who dug the holes were already like clay figurines. The narrow hole in the crocodile hole was also dug more than a meter larger. But the crocodile hasn't come out yet.
Wang Chuan saw from a distance that the one who was trembling when digging the ground but did not flinch was his cheap daddy. Zhuang Niu wanted to go up to help, but was stopped by Wang Chuan. These people may be clumsy, but they are still very face-saving. This state is seen by his son, and he may find a reason to beat his son to get angry. It's a good excuse to come to the river without permission. Don't touch the mold.
Knowing their operating methods, Wang Chuan was not interested in watching it. Just as he was about to leave, the crocodile in the cave was disturbed and finally rushed out with a piece of sand, and Kuan was just crouching down to pick up a little more sand.
A man and a crocodile encountered him head-on, and Kuan hurriedly rolled backwards, but it was still a little late. At the beginning, the temper of the hibernating crocodile was not smaller than that of the spawning period, and the size of the crocodile was not small, with a body more than two meters long. Coupled with its big mouth, it was more than a tiger to see two trembling forces.
Kuan seemed to be very experienced in this situation, and he quickly threw mud and sand into the crocodile's mouth as he retreated, and the crocodile closed its mouth and hit Kuan headlong. The collision knocked him out of his head several times.
Seeing that the crocodile was still rushing towards the wide side, Wang Chuan was almost about to rush out. The tribe's long experience in killing crocodiles played an important role, and the man with the net quickly spilled the net, and the spear holder in the back also stabbed the spear.
The crocodile was in pain and turned to leave, but it was strangled by the net rope, and it became difficult to move, and the tribesmen waited for a spear.
When the crocodile was killed and Kuan's crisis was resolved, Wang Chuan and the three of them all broke out in a cold sweat.
A gust of wind blew the sound of a wide laugh washing mud and sand in the shallow water, and the sound of conversation with other people.
"Kuan, change us next time, you can't be like this."
"What do you know, my son Huo Yanzi taught me...... You can't do it well. ”
These words made Wang Chuan extremely uncomfortable to hear. He hadn't taught him anything about this cheap dad alone. In fact, he didn't care much about his father.
In addition to his strength, his father has no special skills in the tribe, which can be seen from the mural of his mother. However, his father is still proud of him, and in order not to drag him back, and not to affect his future of being able to take over his mother's position, he is so desperate.
"Zhuang Niu, go and tell them that the next time you dig the soil, lay a net at the entrance of the cave first." Wang Chuan hopes that it is not too late to start teaching.
When you step out of the grass along the river, you can see the shallows that are covered with pebbles and sand of various sizes.
Wang Chuan let Bihu watch from the side, rummaging in the shallows, and after a while, he picked up a silver-gray pebble like a baby. After rummaging for a while, he threw a number of pebbles of the same color into the grass by the river.
Wang Chuan, who didn't expect that there was really such a treasure at this time, was almost crazy. Thinking of those sharp swords, guns, swords and arrows, or the infinitely practical iron pot hoes, Wang Chuan only felt that the wheels of civilization were coming towards him.
This time, Bihu and Zhuangniu couldn't understand what Wang Chuan was happy about. Isn't it just a little stone, all over the mountains, as for the big people who came all the way to be like this?
Wang Chuan ignored the two who stood by and watched, and hurriedly picked up more while the water was shallow. These ores are excellent hematite in color and luster, and can be forged directly. Each piece is a treasure.
Half a day later, there were more large and small stones in the grass by the river, and Wang Chuan was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist. Sitting on the stone panting for breath, he saw the other two people who were calm and calm, and Wang Chuan's anger came out of nowhere: "Why don't I make a bet with the two of you?" Five-day ...... No, in three days' time, I'm betting that the two of you will rush here to pick up this stone. If I lose, I'll cook for you for five days. If I win, help me hammer something every day before the end of this winter and don't cry out tired. ”
Zhuang Niu drooled over the rice cooked by Wang Chuan, but instinctively felt that he should not bet with Wang Chuan, so he stood and did not speak, just smirked. Bihu didn't believe that Wang Chuan had any magic that would make him change his opinion of this kind of stone, so he decided to gamble. You can eat the rice cooked by Wang Chuan for five days in a row, it's delicious......
The two high-fived as an oath. There are expectations for this bet.
It's cool to bet with simple-minded people, Wang Chuan is in a happy mood and ready to go back. When I passed by a dry pond, I saw a lot of fish crowded inside. It's also a rare opportunity, and it's not good if you don't catch the fish back in case it gets crowded. As soon as the net goes down, the net will be handed over to Bihu and left it alone. I still have to go back with the iron ore. Those dozens of catties of fish, where is the iron ore in their own hands important?
