The next morning, the support that the chief had spoken of arrived.

Pan brought the hemp rope as well as bamboo branches and reeds that Zhang Duo had requested yesterday.

More than a dozen women and children were also brought with them.

In this era, it is difficult for people to solve the problem of food and clothing, especially for women and children.

The leader Rui just asked Pan to find a few people.

But a lot of people want to get involved.

After all, people who can't go out hunting hear that there are easy ways to catch fish and want to join in.

However, because the leader said that he would just let Zhang Duo try it first, Pan did not let everyone come, but more than a dozen clansmen still came.

Pan looked at Zhang Duo and said, "Duo Duo, is your idea reliable?" Now many people in the tribe know that you are going to fish, and they are waiting to see what you can do. ”

Zhang Duo didn't expect to cause such a big reaction: "Uncle Pan, don't worry, I think the chance of success is very high!" ”

Pan nodded: "That's good, if it really succeeds, the tribe will have an additional source of food, and it will be able to lose some less clansmen this winter." ”

Zhang Duo understood that the size of the Eagle Tribe remained at about three hundred people all year round.

It's not that Rui doesn't want to expand the size of the tribe, but it's limited by food.

A tribe cannot grow without a stable source of food. For no other reason, hunting cannot support the survival of a tribe of several thousand people, and once the tribe grows larger, it must have cultivation as food support.

However, due to various reasons, the eagle tribe has not yet tried to farm, and is still in the stage of hunting.

Now that the necessary things were ready, Zhang Duo first came to the river with everyone and the required supplies.

Then he began to assign tasks to everyone.

Seven of the more than a dozen were children of eight or nine years of age, and the remaining six were adult women.

Zhang Duo asked the children to go to a place not far from the river to turn over the soil, he was going to use earthworms as bait, according to his memories in his previous life, he knew that the water in the body of earthworms accounted for more than 75% of their body weight, so the earthworm's body must be kept moist.

The soil not far from the river must have been an area infested with earthworms.

In case children don't know earthworms.

He first took the children to dig one out of the river and asked the children to find it in the same way.

The women were asked to make bamboo clips. Three of the women cut bamboo branches with a stone knife in 3 cm length, while the remaining three women cut reeds.

Pan took two other hunters to guard the surroundings, although this was not far from the tribe and there were no large predators, but for safety reasons, Zhang Duo still asked Pan to lead two hunters to guard the surroundings.

Seeing that it was almost noon, everyone was basically busy with the task at hand, and the children also dug up a lot of earthworms.

Zhang Duo brought everyone together again.

Tie it to the top of the bamboo clip with hemp rope, bend the bamboo branches, pass through the bait earthworm, and put on the reed segments. A simple bamboo clip is ready.

Thirteen other women and children were asked to help make a bamboo clip each.

He led everyone to the river, asked them to take their own hemp ropes, and then threw the bamboo clips wrapped around the end of the hemp rope into the river.

told everyone not to worry, and then Zhang Duo began to wait patiently.

After about ten minutes, a child on Zhang Duo's right hand suddenly shouted

Zhang Duo remembered that the child's name was Lin, and like himself, he also lost his family because of hunting.

"Duo! Bell! Something tugging at the twine! ”

Zhang Duo knew that a fish had been baited, so he motioned for him to quickly pull the hemp rope ashore.

After Lin pulled the hemp rope ashore, a fish of about a pound or so appeared at the other end of the hemp rope.

Zhang Duo looked at the fish and felt that it was a little familiar.

Somewhat similar to the piranha or piranha pomfret in the previous life.

It's not that this fish really lives by eating people, but it is to describe that this fish has the guts to attack animals that are several times or even dozens of times larger than itself, and when they hunt for food, piranhas always bite the deadly parts of the prey, such as the eyes or tail, so that it loses the ability to escape.

Then attack in groups, rushing forward one by one to bite hard, then get out of the way, leaving room for the fish behind them, and quickly break the target into zeros with incredible speed.

Looking at the sharp triangular teeth of this fish, Zhang Duo felt that this was the same as the piranha in his mind in his previous life.

No wonder the fish was later forbidden by the patriarch. There are such fish in the river, and if you try to insert the fish again, it is easy to be attacked.

Lin was obviously very excited, as a child who was about to turn ten years old like Zhang Duo and was about to be conferred a coming-of-age ceremony, he was very eager to hunt.

Although fishing nowadays is not a fight against prey, it is also a kind of 'hunting', which makes him very satisfied.

At this time, the others also felt the bamboo clip being triggered one after another, so they all pulled the twine and pulled the fish ashore.

Zhang Duo knew that most of these carnivorous fish were dispatched en masse, and it was estimated that there were schools of fish coming from such a dense fish. He beckoned everyone to hurry up and continue to lay out the bait, put on the reeds and continue to throw them into the river to fish.

Zhang Duo beckoned Pan to help build a fire by the river, and he himself began to deal with a few piranhas that came ashore.

After picking up a stone knife and disemboweling it, he threw all the fish entrails into the river, which was used to use the smell of blood to attract more piranhas.

After the treatment was completed, a wooden frame was erected by the fire that was born. The remaining bamboo sticks used to make bamboo clips passed through the fish and began to roast around the fire.

During this period, Lin and the others were still fishing.

Slowly, a unique smell of grilled fish came out. Zhang Duo found that the surroundings were quiet.

As soon as he turned around, Zhang Duo saw that everyone was staring intently at the grilled fish in their hands.

It's scary to be surrounded by a crowd of hungry people with nothing left in their eyes. Especially there are those who have saliva.

Hurriedly beckoned the others to put down the bamboo clips in their hands and come to grill the fish together.

Zhang Duo handed the grilled fish to Pan.

Then I took another one and continued to roast.

Seeing that Lin and the others were eating with relish, Zhang Duo felt that there was a lack of salt and was a little unpalatable. This strengthened Zhang Duo's idea of getting salt as soon as possible.

However, for other tribesmen, it is very satisfying to be able to eat meat.

Usually, the tribesmen can only eat very little meat, which is the minimum supply of the Eagle Tribe, and it is not to enrich their own pockets, but if the tribe of more than 300 people wants to eat all of them by hunting, these people in the hunting team are a little insufficient.

If they don't usually have enough to eat, Lin and the others can only find ways to dig up some rhizomes and find some bird eggs to eat more.

It's a very happy thing to be able to eat all-you-can-eat grilled fish today, in his opinion.

After eating, Zhang Duo beckoned the others to continue fishing.

Pan watched one fish after another being thrown ashore, and couldn't help but sigh: "Duo, how do you have such a brain, what a genius!" ”

Zhang Duo scratched his head: "It's over, Uncle Pan." It's just a method that came up with a chance. ”

Until the afternoon when the sun was about to set, Zhang Duo counted the results of today's fishing.

There are about 170 of them, and many fish run away during this period, because the hemp rope is consumed, and it is easy to break it after using it a few times.

However, such results also look very good in Panpan.

You must know that this is the harvest of thirteen old and young people who can't go out to participate in the hunt in one day, close to one hundred and fifty catties of meat (easy for everyone to see, so use modern units of measurement)!

In Pan's mind, if everyone else came tomorrow, it would be unthinkable!

Of course, Zhang Duo knows that earthworms are limited, hemp rope needs to be compiled when it runs out, and fish are also limited.

In the evening, he led everyone back to the tribe with the harvest, and the leader Rui was already waiting at the gate of the tribe.

Rui is worried about the winter these days, and the tribe does not have enough reserves this year. Unable to exchange enough leather clothes and salt and other supplies with other tribes, it is difficult for most people to survive this winter, so when Zhang Duo found him yesterday to express his idea of fishing, he was very supportive.

Today, I watched Zhang Duo and others use hemp rope to pass through the gills of one fish after another, and return with a full load.

A rare smile appeared on Rui's steady face.

He knew that tonight, each of the three hundred people would be able to get a share of the meat to eat.

What made him even more excited was that Zhang Duo had found another way to hunt. The Eagle Tribe will be much better this winter.
