Chapter 185: The river is full of fish belly white
The sailboat in the river was dragged out of the water by Wang Chuan overnight and made a meticulous inspection. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The sailboat in the info shipyard had just been put on a layer of pine resin and had not yet been launched, but it was also dragged out by Wang Chuan, loaded with a sail mast, and thrown into a pool in the creek for a simple test.
After checking both sailboats and finding that there were no problems, Wang Chuan got the lightest canoe and tied it to the butt of the new sailboat. The canoe was loaded with some necessary things.
Niu Fan was requisitioned, and tomorrow before dawn he would follow Wang Chuan and set off to the upper reaches of the river. Wang Chuan didn't say what he was going out for, he just said that he would go out for two days.
Before going to bed, Wang Chuan also found someone from the fishy department and asked about the original situation of the fishy department. The preparation is all done.
Early the next morning, when everyone got up for morning exercises, they watched Wang Chuan and the four of them sail down the river.
The people of the tribe were extremely curious about how Wang Chuan asked the dragon for fish and shrimp. Someone from the fishy department probably guessed what method Wang Chuan used to get fish and shrimp. But they couldn't figure out how they could go back and forth from the fishy part in one day. You know, when they came, they were gone for four or five days. It will take seven or eight days for one to come back, right? Even if you row, it will take four or five days, right?
Mother didn't want Wang Chuan to go. However, Wang Chuan said that there is a boat, and there is a tiger by his side, and he will return tomorrow morning. Mother felt that Wang Chuan should not be able to go far, and he had already combed with the drums of the mountain god in the distance of the past two days, and there were almost no fierce beasts, so she silently followed him.
As he walked towards the river, Bihu roughly figured out Wang Chuan's intentions and asked his own question: "How can we run back and forth in one day?" ”
Wang Chuan knew that simple calculations would be a breeze for future generations. But it was still too difficult for these prehistoric people to understand the unknown from a mathematical point of view. They know that sailboats are fast, but it's hard to imagine how long it takes for a sailboat to get to a place. Unless they have experience with it. It was also more troublesome to explain to Bihu, a person who was accustomed to the octal system, so he said: "Just keep up." ”
Wang Chuan took Bihu on a sailboat, a strong ox and a bull sail. The four men and two boats sailed upstream in the morning light.
The new sailboat was much lighter than the original, so that even if it pulled a canoe, it was not slower than the original one. And it's not afraid of water ingress, and it's a lot smoother to drive.
Both Bull and Bull Sail have practiced sailing these days in the morning and evening, and there is no problem in operating alone. Wang Chuan asked them to take turns. Substitutions do not slow down. It's just that when the boat was carrying two people, one of them had to be ready to get the water out of the cabin at any time, or it would slow down, which was very distressing.
After Wang Chuan got on the boat, he began to teach Bihu to sail. He is better than the tiger and has a very high level of understanding. When he first started to operate independently, he also asked Wang Chuan to point out the wind direction beside him, but it didn't take long for Zhuangniu Niufan to be thrown directly behind. This made the two people behind feel gloomy and chased all the way.
The two sailboats sailed from the morning light to the green and blue water, and then broke through the long shadows of the trees, startled countless osprey and water birds, and sailed into the bright sun. All the way up, I saw the river confluence, the mountains turned with the water, and the water surface gradually narrowed. Seven or eight hours later, the boat entered the river, which was less than twenty meters wide, and there were rocky beaches on both sides, and a bank full of caves on the other, and the fishy part had arrived.
There are still branches on the river beach that are used to worship crocodiles, but the banks of the river where they live have been encroached on by wild grasses. Crocodiles are found on the other side of the river, but rarely near the beach on the other side of the cave. Because on the beach there are clumps of shrubs full of small purple flowers. That is the magic weapon that the fishy department relies on to avoid crocodiles, drunken fish grass, and it is also the purpose of Wang Chuan and his party.
The four of them dragged the canoe ashore and cut a boatload full of drunken fish grass. A few people were especially not enough, so they cut a lot and tied them to two sailboats. He hurried back.
Although the return voyage is smooth, it is headwind, and it is necessary to drive in a zigzag all the way. Moreover, the weight of the two boats has increased a lot, and Wang Chuan's new boat is dragging a canoe full of them, and it is even more difficult to walk. The two boats were only a third of the way until it was dark.
Fortunately, Wang Chuan was prepared, took out a torch made of bamboo, one for two boats, lit a torch and set off at night. After the bamboo is dried, it is soaked in water for a few days, and then the torch made of dried bamboo is more flame-resistant, not easy to extinguish, and the fire is very bright. If you look at the boat on the river, you can see the sand and gravel shoals that are outcropping in front of you, so there is basically no problem.
The two boats walked with torches in the middle of the night, and finally even the torches were almost burned out, and I didn't know where they went. Wang Chuan decided to lower the sails, tied the two boats together, and prepared to float down the river until dawn.
The boat carried a large number of drunken fish grass, all the way over, from time to time the grass fell into the river, you can see the fish belly turning, crocodiles dodging, but not afraid that the crocodiles will attack the sailboat at night. However, in addition to the crocodile, there were other dangers in the water, and several people took turns to watch and light small torches.
After dawn, the people of the River tribe had no intention of having breakfast, and went down to the river early with various tools to wait. Wang Chuan said that if there are fish to pick up today, there are fish to pick up. And never less. Wang Chuan never let them down.
When the sun was rising for half a day, my mother came to the river. Others are waiting for the harvest, but she is worried.
Everyone waited for a long time, and finally saw the shadow of the boat appear from the river in the distance. A few people in canoes rushed up to meet them. When they reached two or three kilometers away from the river, they all stopped, and they were commanded by Wang Chuan to get something.
It didn't take long for the calm river to rise from above. First, countless small fish flipped their bellies, countless large fish jumped out of the water, and then the muddy water rolled, and the crocodiles came out of the water and ran to the riverbank. It didn't take long for the green water to turn white with a fish's belly.
"Wow, catch the fish!" Before the water shouted, some people rushed into the canoe raft, took the big net, and threw themselves into the river.
Standing on the bank of the river, Bark also began to command the team: "Hunting party, take the guys, go to the two banks, and kill all the crocodiles." The woman went down to the river first. The slaves went back to carry wood to make rafts. Prepare to go down to the river to catch fish, and drink all the fish soup today. The children guarded the grandmother and retreated to the pier. Kill all the crocodiles, and then come down. ”
With such an arrangement, everyone has taken action. For a while, the riverside was full of people.
The hook prepared earlier can be used to hook a large fish. It's faster to catch fish with a net. Once the net is pulled, it is difficult to lift it, so you have to drag it back to the shore and pour the fish to the shore before you can net it again. Everyone thought there were no crocodiles on the river nearby. But those crocodiles, large and small, can actually fill the riverbank, which really makes people's scalp tingle.
Even in the newly dug dock, a crocodile more than one meter long was drilled, and the children shot more than a dozen crossbow arrows before lying on the ground.
The baby elephant and the little rhinoceros playing by the river were already scared away. Under the command of Wolf Ting, several wolf dogs went into the water one by one to drag back the fish from the river, and soon dragged back a bunch of them.
After Wang Chuan and the others let go of the drunken fish grass, they rowed across the fish-white water and returned to the dock. The day and night of running around had already made them tired and almost out of strength. But when he approached the dock, Wang Chuan still shouted excitedly in a hoarse voice: "I want to go back to the fish and shrimp with Shenlong." How much you can pick up depends on your ability. ”
At that time, Wang Chuan's body was covered with the green juice of drunken fish grass. One of the sails was torn, tied with the pants of several of them, and they were all naked. Seeing such an embarrassed look like Wang Chuan, who came to pay attention, everyone laughed.
They didn't know where the divine dragon was, but they knew that Elder Chuan was by their side. (To be continued.) )
