Chapter 90: Don't Move!

"What are you guys doing here, trap?" asked Mai.

"When the river rises, you can stand on it. The man standing next to Mai laughed.

They didn't know what Shao Xuan and Lang Ga were doing this for, but everyone in the hunting team knew that Lang Ga was interested in setting traps, although most of the time it was only about the ground bow and the like, but there would also be some other types.

Lang Ga told Shao Xuan and his own thoughts, and everyone was also very curious, as for setting up such a fish fence here, it was not only not in the way for them, but also provided convenience, and when the water rose, they could step on it and jump.

"You should go back, we'll patrol first tonight, Langga, you bring someone over early tomorrow to change. Mai said.

"Okay, I'll go back when I'm done with this one last. I didn't pay attention to it just now, but now that I come back to my senses, I'm really hungry. Lang Ga touched his stomach and looked at his results, very satisfied.

Shao Xuan, who had already completed his last fish fence on the side, found that the people who came with Mai had brought their own stone tools and animal skin bags containing food, as well as nets woven with straw ropes.

"Uncle Mai, what are you doing with grass nets?" asked Shao Xuan.

"Well," Mai smiled, "it's food, of course." ”

Seeing that Shao Xuan was still puzzled, Mai said, "You'll know when you come over tomorrow." By the way, remember to bring a larger mesh bag when you come tomorrow. ”

Although he didn't know what they used to hold in a mesh bag, Shao Xuan still prepared a mesh bag.

The next day, Shao Xuan brought Caesar and Chirp to Lao Ke early in the morning, and then went to the patrol area.

When Shao Xuan arrived, Lang Ga and the same group of guards were already there. To Shao Xuan's surprise, Mai's grass nets were filled with watermelon-sized snails!

Not only that, but you can also see that near the riverbank, the surface of the river shows a gradually larger and larger sharp corner, which are all snails, and they are coming towards the riverbank.

Although it doesn't seem like much now, if it continues like this, everyone will be able to get a lot by the time the patrol is over.

Their shells are so thick that even piranhas in the river may not be able to handle them, but the tribesmen are different, after all, people use tools to pull them out of their shells.

"Don't look at these shells are very hard, but after you take them back and cook them, it won't be long before the shells are easy to break, and there were people who wanted to make things out of their shells before, but I didn't expect them to break when they were knocked out for a while. Mai said to Shao Xuan.

Even if these snails don't provide much energy individually, but the amount is there, it can indeed solve the food problem, no wonder Lang Ga is not worried.

According to Mai, these snails usually do not come out, and only after the rainy season officially begins, will they come ashore in large numbers. The good thing is that these snails are not very aggressive, and they are simply rations for those who are in short supply during the rainy season.

I don't know if there are any parasites, but the people who look at the tribe are fine after eating it for so many years, so there should be no problem.

Now that the shift changers had arrived, and Mai and the others had stayed for a long time, and after a night of rain, they hurried back to eat something and sleep, and then came back to continue patrolling after resting.

"You guys stay here first, and if you find something unusual that you can't deal with, blow the whistle quickly, do you hear?" Mai said to Lang Ga and the others.

"Got it, it's not the first rainy season patrol. Ah Xuan has already told him, I will take it with me when the time comes, don't worry. Lang Ga waved at Mai, and then immediately rushed over to continue looking at the fish fence that was made yesterday.

The rain has not stopped, at most it has only occasionally rained, and the level of the river has risen a lot compared to yesterday, and more than half of the fish fence closest to the river yesterday has been submerged in water.

In this way, there will be no fish entering, and it is still early, and there is no abnormality in the river, so Shao Xuan and others will pick up snails together.

Shao Xuan didn't know which species these snails were, they looked different, there were many kinds of threads and colors, but Lang Ga said that they could be eaten, and Shao Xuan didn't care so much, just wait for them to climb ashore by themselves, just pick them up and throw them into the grass net. It's just that they stick tightly to the ground, and where there are rocks in relatively smooth places, you have to use some force, and it is not easy to pull them off the stones.

I patrolled for most of the day, and I didn't encounter anything, except for these various snails that climbed to the riverbank, there was nothing else. When Shao Xuan went back that day, he sent a lot of snails to the children in the cave and Lao Ke's side, anyway, he couldn't eat so much by himself, Caesar didn't eat this, but the chirp was fresh for a while, just dedicated to pecking the snail meat out of the shell, which was just fun.

On the third day of Shao Xuan's patrol, the edge of the river had completely surpassed the first fish fence. The first trap was not large, only two meters in diameter, and it was felt too small at the time, so it was not demolished and rebuilt, but was deliberately made much larger when the second trap was built, so that when the water surface crossed the first trap, the second trap, which was almost parallel to the first trap, was only partially submerged in the water.

"How is it?" over there, Lang Ga threw the snail he picked up into the grass net and shouted to Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan stood on the edge of the first fish fence and looked inside carefully.

No Fish......

In addition, there were no piranhas with big heads and fangs around, and no other fish were seen, as if they had all disappeared.

At this time of high water, I didn't even see a single fish!

So, the fish fence is white?

No, when the time comes, you can see what else is in the river besides the fish.

Keep it. Shao Xuan looked at the fish fence under his feet, and planned to leave these fish traps here for the time being, and then remove them after the tide receded, so that it would not hinder the patrol anyway.

"Nothing!" Shao Xuan replied.

Getting up and preparing to go to the shore, Shao Xuan suddenly felt a chill sweep over.

There is danger!

He was about to jump away from the fish fence and run to the riverbank, when he heard Lang Ga's rapid shout.

"Don't move!Don't move!!"

To move, or not to move? These two thoughts flashed in Shao Xuan's mind in an instant, and in the end, Shao Xuan still decided to follow Lang Ga's words and settle there.

Although he didn't move, the muscles in his body were ready to go, and as soon as the incident happened, he would move on to the next step, and his hand had already touched the stone knife just now.

Over there, Lang Ga couldn't care about picking up snails, so he came over with others, and when he ran, he threw the snails in his hand on the other side of the water thirty meters away from Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan could hear the grunt of the snail falling into the river, but the needle-like gaze was still there. Shao Xuan froze there all the time, maintaining the posture just now, not moving at all.

As long as he raised his head, he could see the source of that cold gaze, but at this moment, Shao Xuan held back, and his eyes didn't wander.

Not far from Shao Xuan, at some point, a triangular head appeared on the water, and there were two bulging eyes on the head.

At this time, there was a small sound from the water in front of him, and it was not obvious in the sound of raindrops around him, but Shao Xuan could hear it clearly.

"Quack!"

Shao Xuan: "......"

Nima!

He finally knew why Lang Ga told him not to move.
