Chapter 633: A Different Web
Quinto, who was resting in the cabin, was quickly called out.
"Great Elder, do you have something to do with me?" Quintu asked.
Unlike Tuo and Ah Guang, who grew up with Shao Xuan, he was one of the people who later returned to the tribe with the Yanjiao tourists on the grassland, just because of his good performance and rapid progress in strength, he is also very active in the tribe now.
Kuntu has always had respect for Shao Xuan, it was Shao Xuan and others who went to the grassland to pick them up, otherwise, even if the fire in Yanjiao's hometown was ignited, they would not be able to leave the grassland alive. Coupled with some later things, as well as Shao Xuan's current status in the tribe, Kuntu can't be so casual with others in terms of title, so every time he sees Shao Xuan, he is directly called "Great Elder".
Shao Xuan beckoned to Kuntu, "Come and see, these are the fishing nets that the people of the Gu tribe brought to the trading area?"
Kuntu went over, squatted down and carefully checked the two nets in Shao Xuan's hand, because there was definitely more than one tribe that went to the trading area to sell fishing nets, and there were many fishing nets that looked very similar, even if it was determined at first sight, he had to carefully identify it, he didn't want to lose face in front of the Great Elder.
After carefully examining the two nets, Kuntu nodded and confirmed: "Yes, these two are both, the fishing nets of the Gu tribe are different from other tribes, and the grid on the net is also different from other nets, and there are many places on these nets that I can't understand, but the people of the Gu tribe didn't explain much at that time. ”
Yes, there are many differences between these two fishing nets of the Gu tribe and those of other tribes, and some of them even give people the feeling that they were made wrong when weaving.
"They didn't explain?" asked Shao Xuan, pointing to a few seemingly redundant weavings on the Internet.
"Yes, I was also curious when I watched it. So I asked casually, but they didn't explain, they just said that the network is like this. But......" Quintu hesitated for a moment, continued, "I think there must be other secrets in this. At that time, the people of the Gu tribe didn't look at me very well. ”
"What's wrong?" Dori and Tuo were also curious.
"I don't know if it's right or not, but I just think they look at me like I don't know something. Quintu scratched his head.
Because he used to be a tourist living in the grassland, he was not covered by a tribe and lived in dependence on other tribes, so he inevitably had to look at people's faces, and Kuntu was also regarded as a person with more leadership talent among the tourists in the grassland Yanjiao. He was more perceptive in many ways, which was why Shao Xuan called Kuntu instead of the others. Therefore, although the people of the Gu tribe at that time did not show too obvious on their faces, and they also converged quickly, he could still capture the contemptuous gaze of "turtles, ignorant goods".
In the Yanhe Trading Area, few tribes would show a bad look at the people of Yanjiao. There are definitely people who don't like each other, but there are contemptuous eyes like this. But it's rarely seen.
"Tell me. Shao Xuan also became interested in understanding the people of a tribe. There are many details that can be seen in general, and using tools is one of them.
During that time, most of the tribes living in the Yanhe area who went to the trading area were small tribes, and because of this, their reactions would be even more apprehensive when they saw the formation of Yanjiao. Anxiety. But whether it is Zhengluo's evaluation or Kuntu's opinion, the people of the Gu tribe obviously do not belong to this list.
Although the people of the Gu tribe would also have surprised and curious reactions when they were in the Yanhe trading area. But compared to other tribes, there is more arrogance.
This kind of Shao Xuan is no stranger, and generally such tribes are tribes that are in a dominant position near their respective habitats, rather than suppressed characters.
"In this way, the Gu tribe is definitely not a small tribe like the Qi tribe. ”
Shao Xuan picked up a net and asked Dori, Tuo and Kuntu to open the net, and then Shao Xuan carried over a wooden stake, which was cut and put on the boat to dry, and then chopped for firewood.
The one-person thick tree was easily grabbed by Shao Xuan with one hand, and looked at the net that was more than ten meters long by the three of them, if it was all opened, the net could be more than twenty meters long and nearly thirty meters long.
Zhengluo also got these two nets not long before Shao Xuan's departure, because he was too busy and didn't have time to dig deeper, Shao Xuan decided to give it a try now.
Looking away from the net, Shao Xuan looked at the wooden stake in his hand again, and then poked a few holes in one end of the stake with a knife and inserted a few branches, which looked like the antlers of a deer.
Then, Shao Xuan grabbed the wooden stake with "horns" on both sides and approached the net.
When he first approached, he couldn't see anything, and as Shao Xuan continued to move forward after touching the net at the end of the stake, the net that was originally nothing abnormal made a "poof" sound.
It's like flipping a switch, and as it turns on, the web starts to change.
Whether it was the three people who helped pull up the net, or the other people next to them, they were all staring at the net.
I saw that there was still a net on the net, and while one net kept its original grid to block the "prey", another net hidden on it began to play a role, and began to shrink towards the position where the "prey" hit the net.
Because Shao Xuan's movements were not fast, and he was also slow when exerting force, all these changes were very clear to everyone present.
"This!"
"Two nets?!"
"Isn't this a fishing net? How can this be?"
Everyone looked surprised.
And after Shao Xuan continued to exert his strength and pushed the stake forward, the second net on the net was finally closed, and the second net was firmly tied to it.
The first net is like a pocket bag, which will bring the prey into it, while the second net plays a restraining role, tying the prey while tying the "pocket bag" by the way.
"Such a net, set up with false stakes, is secretly arranged in the path of the prey, and if the prey hits it headlong, or is chased by the hunter and crashes into it, it will surely be bound up. If a horned deer hits it, its antlers will be entangled in the neck, and the more it struggles, the tighter it becomes, and even strangles it. Shao Xuan said.
Because of some research on the lasso, Shao Xuan can see it better than others, and the people in the tribe also know about it, so they don't doubt Shao Xuan's words.
"This net is for catching deer, sheep and other prey!" Shao Xuan concluded, I don't know what kind of woven plant this net is, and it has also been finely processed, which is stronger, and it is more than enough to catch ordinary beasts.
"It's not a fishing net!" said Dori, surprised.
"So, the people of the Gu tribe may not live on the Yan River, maybe they don't belong to the tribes around the Yan River, but in other parts of the land?"
"No, they must be in the Yanhe area, and besides, they are definitely not too far from the Yanhe. Shao Xuan affirmed.
As he spoke, Shao Xuan picked up another net, which was different from the first net, and the weaving technique and the straw rope were different.
The straw rope used to weave the first net was more tightly rubbed and very strong, and it was impossible to find a gap in the rope, and a thorn tried to pierce the straw rope, but it could not be done without a little force.
But in the second net, the woven straw rope is completely different, and the thin silk-like plants are combined into a strand, and they have not gone through the stage of "rubbing".
Let Dori and them pull up the net again, this second net, Shao Xuan did not use a wooden stake to try, but from the place where the food scraps were piled up. There were some leftover piranha bones, which were left over after being caught with a fishing rod and grilled when Dori was bored.
The piranha's large head, with its fangs, is very recognizable.
Shao Xuan broke off the skull of a piranha, and in the open mouth of the fish, those fangs were very conspicuous.
Shao Xuan put the mouth full of fangs into the net, bit the net, and then moved the upper and lower jaws to make it look like it was biting into the net.
If it is an ordinary fishing net, it will definitely leave tooth marks on the net rope, and the unstrong net will be quickly bitten by this piranha, but now, this net, after closing the fish's mouth dozens of times, is almost still intact!
On the ropes woven into fishing nets, a thread-like structure separates from the fangs of the fish's mouth when they bite up, so every time the fish teeth bite up, they will pass directly through the net rope, and when the fish's mouth opens, the fish teeth break away from the net rope, and the net rope composed of many filaments merges again.
"It's ......"
"This is a mermaid?!" Dori curiously picked up the net again to take a closer look, and found the head of the fish to try it.
"Really!"
In general, there are fish with fangs in inland rivers, but the number is not large compared to here, and the species are not different, so they do not weave such nets to catch them. The most likely thing is that the other party weaves such a net to catch piranhas in the Yan River, after all, there are many piranhas here.
"The people of this Gu tribe are indeed very good at weaving nets. Although they hadn't seen it, Tuo also had to admit it, if Shao Xuan hadn't pointed it out, they might not have been able to see it so quickly.
"If this fishing net gets wet, the rope will be more slippery, and the teeth can easily pass through the braided rope, but it will not be able to bite the rope in a short time. Shao Xuan touched the wet place of the fishing net and handed it to everyone.
"Really!" Quintu scratched his head again. No wonder the people of the Gu tribe looked at him like that at that time, they really felt that they were clumsy and illiterate, and they couldn't see the goodness of this net.
"With such a net-weaving technique, the people of the Gu tribe will certainly not starve, on the contrary, they will live in abundance. Shao Xuan said.
"But there are no poppy tribes here. We came along the river and didn't see the Poppy tribe. Otherwise, Great Elder, you will definitely know. Quintu couldn't figure it out.
"Since we haven't seen it until now, the Gu tribe may be farther away from us. Shao Xuan looked ahead.
In the Yanhe area, far away, you can still know the Yanhe trading area, and the information of the people of the Gu tribe is also circulating. (To be continued.) )
