Chapter 141: Savages and the Net Break
The continuous heavy rain caused the water level of the river to rise again and again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The place where everyone could have settled yesterday has now been flooded by the river.
The width of the river has almost doubled, and the water level has changed from four or five meters deep at the beginning to at least ten meters deep now.
However, this has no impact on Wang Hao and them. Because of the turbulence of the fish, wherever there is water, it is full of fish, even the shore.
If the net is cast, the dense big fish will be hung all over the net, and there will be almost no dead ends.
The rise in the water level is nothing more than clearing the weeds and shrubs on the net, which can be regarded as a slight delay in the progress of fishing.
Because there is a way to store live fish, at the request of Wang Hao, the men are trying their best to cast their nets to catch fish, while the women are working overtime at the factory to catch up with the nets.
Hemp is a plant, and even if it is woven into hemp fibers and woven into fishing nets, it still does not change the fact that it is a plant. The fishing net woven with hemp rope cannot be fished for a long time, and it will not take long to dry and maintain it, otherwise it will be continuously blistered and will soon rot.
It is precisely because of this that there is a saying on the earth that there are three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. Although the hemp rod on the great wilderness has a certain difference from the one on the earth, it still can't change the perishable characteristic of the hemp rope.
Fortunately, the women who had learned how to weave fishing nets were finally freed from the mountains of fish and could concentrate on weaving their nets in a dry and comfortable factory.
It rained heavily for three days and three nights. The water level of the river has even risen to the point where the fish used to be handled.
From the shore, the entire river is more than 600 meters wide, and the river is turbulent. A huge tree floated down the river in the middle of the river. With the ebb and flow of the river.
Suddenly, a huge whirlpool rose in the middle of the river, and the tree happened to be in the center of the whirlpool, and then the tree sank to the bottom of the water under the endless suction of the whirlpool.
Except for startling a school of fish, there was not even a bit of other reaction.
Looking at this scene and feeling the power of nature, even the giants shuddered. At this time, there were no steel cruise ships of later generations, and it was simply impossible to cross the river with the help of small rafts. Once you accidentally fall into the water, even if you are usually the best person in the water, you will definitely die.
In such a turbulent river, not to mention people, even fish, are dizzy. One by one, large fish jumped out of the water and tried to move in the direction of the upper reaches.
Near the shore, countless large fish accidentally jumped onto the shore. If you're lucky, you might be able to get back into the river. And the unlucky, the more they struggle, the farther away from the river bank, and in the end, they can only be reduced to a good meal in the mouth of a predator.
At this time, even the most stupid people in the Great Wilderness understand that the most abundant day of the year is finally coming. There is no need to eat unknown plants that may contain highly toxic substances. There is no need to risk your life to grab food from the birds of prey in the wilderness.
All they had to do was find a river, and then in the midst of the many beasts, they grabbed a large enough bank, and all that was left to do was to wait for the fish to jump ashore on their own.
The 'fish landing' of the summer flood every year is the happiest and most solemn day for the people of the Great Wilderness. Because during this time, almost everyone can eat enough, and if the lucky tribe can occupy a long stretch of water, maybe in just a few days, they can get enough food to eat for a year. Unfortunately, due to the loss of food storage methods, these fresh fish can at most guarantee that they will not starve for a month after the summer flood.
These people from other villages who came to Wang Village this year couldn't wait to tell their village about the method of digging and building a fish pond to store live fish that Wang Hao came up with. It's just that there is only one person in a village, and it is almost impossible to return to their own village after a few days of trekking with the strength of one person, so everyone can only work while looking forward to the arrival of the people in their own village.
Xia Xun's 'fish ashore' is not only a festival for the great wilderness people and wild beasts, but also a festival for the wild people everywhere in the great wilderness. Although for some special reasons, these savages have degraded the language and intelligence that humans possess, but the instinct to survive still tells them that this is the best time to get food.
It is not as safe to seize the river bank with those dangerous beasts as it is to the savages.
Because unlike wild beasts, wild beasts can feed not only on fish, but also on people, and people in the Great Wilderness, unless absolutely necessary, usually do not eat people.
In other words, in the battle with the savages, the Great Wilderness people will not gain any benefits, and if they win, they will definitely have to suffer losses, but there is no benefit. And if you lose, not only will you die, but the dead will also become the rations of the savages, no matter how you look at it, it will be more than worth the loss. The Great Wilderness people let the wild people everywhere, and also made the wild people have the idea that the Great Wilderness people are very easy to bully.
This year is the same, as soon as the day comes for the fish to come ashore, the wild people hidden in the deep mountains and old forests are like installing radar sensors, and they accurately drill out from every corner.
Wang Hao couldn't help but be stunned as he looked at the hundreds of wild people who came out of the Black Forest. He really couldn't understand how these wild people could survive in the poisonous Black Forest without the protection of Black Armor.
Not to mention anything else, just during the time of picking sweet fruits, Wang Hao has only been to the Black Forest a few times, and he was unexpectedly identified by the system dozens of deadly poisonous insects, poisonous snakes and poisons, you know, he only walked in this small area on the periphery of the Black Forest, not to mention the interior of the Black Forest.
From one point to see the whole picture, just near his village, there are hundreds of wild people coming out of the Black Forest, Wang Hao really doesn't know how these people live in the Black Forest.
Of course, there is no need to worry too much about food, and there is no shortage of food in the jungle all year round, most of the time. A variety of edible plant fruits and roots, plus a variety of protein-rich insects. No, there are all kinds of small animals in the Black Forest, and with patience, you can always find food. It can even be said that the food in the forest is more abundant than the food on any kind of landform, but what makes Wang Hao strange is how these wild people survive by avoiding the poisons in the forest.
As usual, the wild people who rushed out of the Black Forest did not go to the territory occupied by the wild beasts at all, but rushed straight towards the people of Wang Village who were casting nets to fish.
Because the movement of the wild people in the forest is relatively small, and the distance between the village and the Black Forest is quite close, when the big bell used for early warning in the village rang, Wang Hao, who was checking the cause of the broken fishing net by the river, could already see the wild man rushing over with a roar.
The breaking of the fishing nets, this happened very suddenly. As usual, the giant cast the net normally, who knows, after the net went down, it seemed to catch a big guy. The power is extraordinarily great. If it weren't for the giant's amazing strength, he might even be pulled directly into the river if he was caught off guard. Just like at the beginning, Wang Hu was pulled into the water by a big fish for the first time when he fished.
After this matter was reported to Wang Hao, he did not take it seriously. There are many things in the water, and it's not just fish. The current is so strong that boulders and trees can be washed down. It's not quite normal to break a net.
However, what happened next made Wang Hao have to pay attention to it.
