Hoarding money to raise cubs Day 293
The bow broke, and the line was quickly dragged into the water by the big fish.
Salius couldn't bear to part with this rare big fish, so he stretched out his hand to catch it. He let out a muffled grunt and persisted for more than ten seconds, but finally he had to let go and let the fish dive into the bottom of the water with the broken rope. .
Salius took a breath, shook his hands, and spit into the water, as if telling himself: "It's okay, there is a spare bow in the cabin, continue."
Lu Liran caught a glimpse of Saryus' palm, and several bloodstains were clearly rubbed together, making the palm **** and bloody.
Salius took out a small packet of powder and sprinkled it on his palm, grinning his teeth in pain.
He turned his head to Lu Liran and Ke Ji, and said, "If you get cut anywhere, ask me for this, and the pain will stop in a while."
Lu Liran nodded, and secretly slapped a systematic elementary reconnaissance appraisal skill.
It is a herbal medicine with anesthesia effect, ground into powder and applied externally, it also has a certain anesthesia effect and can weaken pain.
When fishing in the tribe, it is not uncommon to encounter a big fish breaking the bow rope and slipping away. This happens from time to time, so there are always extra fishing tools on board.
Lu Liran took a bow and arrow again, and the movement just now has scared away the fish that surrounded him, but there are still fish pecking at the fish pieces near the boat.
Bows and arrows are used to shoot fish a little further away from the boat, while harpoons are used to attack fish within two meters.
Salius's aim is very good, out of five forks, one or two can always be rewarded.
Most of the fish in this watershed are red herring, tilapia, and trout, and the larger ones include sturgeon and perch. They are all omnivorous fish, and they are not ferocious.
Lu Liran and the others don't always cast bait and catch fish in one place, and after staying for more than an hour, they will change to another place to find fish and catch bait.
The first half of the night ended quickly with busy work. The harvest of Lu Liran and the others was not bad. There were more than 20 tilapias and more than a dozen trouts, and one of them was even a copperhead trout. The individuals were better than other trouts. The big trout came back to the river basin because it was spawning season. This one alone weighed 13 kilograms, which was worth as much as five or six other trout.
And six red herrings.
These can add up to 30 to 40 kilograms, and only a small mountain of fish rafts has been piled up.
But apart from these, the most exciting thing is that they caught a sturgeon, the whole body is gray and black, covered with white spots, it is more than one meter long, with a long and pointed head. Salius was wounded.
This sturgeon weighs more than 20 kilograms, and it is still relatively small in this kind of fish school, but this kind of fish is very cunning, and it depends on luck and experience to catch it.
According to Salius, this fish can grow up to three meters in length, weigh hundreds of kilograms, and can drag people on the shore into the water. This kind of accident happened several years ago.
Lu Liran was slightly stunned, thinking that if that fish was able to drag people from the shore into the water a few years ago, it would be even worse if it survived to this day.
Salius felt that he was very satisfied with having such a fish on board, so he decided to collect the net and return to the tribe in advance today.
The collected fishing nets also hooked a lot of fish, but most of them were small grass carp, the big ones were as long as an arm, the small ones were even the size of a finger, and most of them were palm-sized fish.
Zarius untied all the small fish that were as thick as fingers and threw them back into the river, and fished the rest back into the fish hold.
"Today's luck is actually quite good, there are quite a lot of fish in the fishing net!" Salius said happily and satisfied.
"The fishy smell on the boat might attract crocodiles, so we might as well go back earlier." Salius said to Lu Liran and Ke Ji.
Their harvest today is much more than what the tribes went fishing in the past, but it is far from enough to support a tribe's stockpiling of food during the rainy season.
Lu Liran nodded slightly, thinking of the women and children in the tribe who were eating clay pancakes, they should take the fish back first.
"These fish are enough for us to eat for several days." Salius looked very excited all the way, "Achill and I will go out to fish sometimes, but we have never caught so many fish like today! These fish today It’s really turning around our boat, next time we’ll catch some fish, shrimps and crabs, and chop them into pieces to lure them!”
They seldom did this before. First, these small fish and shrimps are very difficult to catch. There is no way like Lu Liran, who catches a piece of poison, and it is like picking up for nothing; second, it is a little bigger fish. Shrimp, they are reluctant to use it to lure fish. Sometimes they throw several pieces into the water, but no fish is willing to take the bait. Smart chicken thieves, they might as well eat it themselves.
This time when he came out with Lu Liran Ke Ji, Salius understood that sentence more thoroughly - if you don't want your child to be caught by a wolf, if you don't want to smash the fish to pieces, you won't be able to catch a big fish.
However, even though Salius said so, in the future, it may not be as smooth as this time, because those fish pieces are hard to come by, and it takes a lot of time to find them.
Lu Liran and the others paddled back, and the journey went smoothly.
"It's also strange today. I used to walk along the way and always saw one or two crocodiles lying on the bank of the river. I wanted you to see it today." Salius seemed to think that this was a special scenic spot on their side. I also feel a little regretful that Lu Liran and Ke Ji didn't see it.
"Have you ever seen them? Those pair of yellow eyes are really evil. If you stare at them for a long time, you might capsize the boat and fall into the river." Salius laughed and threatened others.
With a bumper harvest today, Salius was in the mood to joke around.
Lu Liran twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, thinking that they didn't want to watch anymore.
Pointing to Ke Ji beside him, he grinned at Saryus, showing his white and straight teeth, and said with a smile, "Yes, we met one in the swamp once, and he killed it."
When Salius heard this, his paddling hand stopped abruptly, his black and white eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Ke Ji with stupid eyes.
"He killed a crocodile?" Salius gasped.
Lu Liran said "hmm", "I remember that one was three meters long, which is pretty big."
The sound of Saryus' inhalation became louder.
Ke Ji gave Lu Liran a helpless and amusing look, seeing that he was frightening the simple little aborigine.
"Then you don't have to be afraid if you encounter a crocodile. There are crocodile catchers here." Salius said after regaining his composure.
Ke Ji: "..."
However, the three of them went back smoothly and safely. Everyone in the tribe knew that they had gone fishing, and they all lit torches to wait for them to come back.
Lu Liran didn't expect that there would be so many people waiting here. When he first saw the thin faces full of expectation under the firelight, he was stunned for a second, and a soft place in his heart was stabbed violently.
He sighed softly, but before he could think more, Salius had already run into the crowd cheering enthusiastically.
Although the language barrier, it did not prevent Lu Liran from understanding the excitement and joy of the tribe.
Akeliu also ran out with the support of several children to watch, and whispered: "What a big fish!"
The one-meter-long sturgeon can be called a big guy, and the sturgeon looks extraordinarily fierce. Its sharp and long head is like a sharp arrow. Several indigenous children surrounded the sturgeon. Wow, wow, screaming, as if wanting to touch but not daring to touch.
Salius could carry the sturgeon by himself, and the one-meter-long sturgeon stood out even more against the human arm.
Lu Liran saw the expressions of pride on the faces of the tribesmen on both sides. The surrounding atmosphere was really exciting, and the joy from the bottom of the heart was the most contagious, and people couldn't help but smile along with them.
"Grill these fish first and share them." Lu Liran said to Akeliu and Salius.
Saryus had no objection, he never had a full stomach, and even if he caught the prey, he would bring it back whole and leave it to the tribe, and now sharing the food with the big guys is his happiest thing.
Akeliu was thinking about the deal promise they made at the beginning, and he was not sure whether Lu Liran's doing so would be counted in the rainy season they agreed to store food.
Although it seems a bit stingy to be so preoccupied, Akeliu thinks about his injury and the scarce youth and strength in the tribe. If Lu Liran and Lu Liran are not asked, this rainy season will be really hard for them.
Lu Liran met Akeliu's eyes, and he knew what the other party was thinking. He said, "I haven't filled my stomach, so why stock up on food?"
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and just said: "I promised you to stockpile food for the rainy season, and I will collect it for you, don't worry."
Achilles blushed embarrassingly, and said nothing.
Lu Liran directly asked Salius to set up a bonfire in the tribe's open space and start grilling fish.
I ate half of the fish in the boat, even if there was no seasoning, the fish tasted very good when grilled while it was fresh.
As for the rest of the fish, people in the tribe are reluctant to eat any more, and they have to keep a little in reserve, but they are not stingy at all for grilling fish for Lu Liran, Ke Ji and Salius, until Lu Liran waved his hand and refused. .
In the daytime of the next day, Lu Liran and Ke Ji left the tribe again and went into the jungle, still taking Salius with them.
They planned to set traps, but whether the traps could catch the prey and when they caught the prey would have to be checked by Salius later.
After walking for half a day, Lu Liran finally found a beast path, blocked by a rock, forming a natural necessary route. Lu Liran set a trap at a place that looked like a bottleneck.
"This trap can be used repeatedly." Lu Liran said to Salius.
In terms of traps, tribal hunters are good at it, but different tribes have their own housekeeping skills.
For example, the Kugwa tribe where Salius and Akeliu belonged to relied on fishing as their main source of food, so they were a little weaker in setting traps on land.
Lu Liran used the existing thin and weak trees on the ground to cut a section, leaving the required height, and cut a vertical slit on the branch.
He asked for a tribal bow and arrow, and now he stuck the bow rope into the gap, fully pulled the bowstring, and then stuck it into the arrow, and firmly connected it with a line that passed through the ground.
The height set is about the height of an armadillo from the ground, which is almost the average height that most small and medium-sized beasts will pass and touch, and the probability of triggering is very high.
Lu Liran demonstrated the triggering of the trap to Salius, and threw a stone right in the middle of the rope.
Hearing a whooping sound, Salius didn't even see how the arrow shot out, and it had already penetrated deeply into the ground at the target, fast, ruthless and accurate!
Salius gasped, he didn't expect such a trap to be so aggressive with the blessing of their tribal bows and arrows.
He memorized Lu Liran's operations carefully, and Lu Liran would remind him of the details from time to time. Soon, Salius also set up a similar trap in another place.
"Where's your friend?" When the trap was set up and was about to leave, Salius looked around and found that Ke Ji wasn't here.
"Here we come." Ke Ji's voice came, and Lu Liran turned his head to look over, and saw a dark blue and black-spotted frog in Ke Ji's hand wrapped in leaves.
Extremely beautiful means highly poisonous.
Salius exclaimed: "Devil Frog!"
Lu Liran twitched the corners of his mouth. After the devil snake came the devil frog. The names of these aborigines are really monotonous.
But you can also see the toxicity of this little frog.
Ke Ji smiled gently at the screaming natives, and said, "In order to prevent the prey from escaping after being hit by an arrow, it's safer to rub some poison on the arrow."
Salius stared blankly, but this is a devil frog... a little poison is enough to kill them all.
"The poisoned prey can be detoxified by roasting it at high temperature, so you can eat it with confidence," Ke Ji added.
Salius thought to himself, he wasn't worried about whether he could eat...
He looked at Ke Ji, cautiously: "This poison..."
During the time he spoke, Ke Ji had simply disposed of two batches of arrowheads and replaced them again. Hearing this, he looked at Salius: "Have you never used poison? It's a good thing."
Salius: I have used poison, but I have never used it so ruthlessly.
They saw these poisonous frogs walking around in the rainforest, and there was no one like Ke Ji who caught them directly and became a strong man.
He looked at Ke Ji differently.
Ke Ji smiled: "Its poison can only work through the blood of the wound. If it is not injured, it just rubs against the skin, at most it will make the skin red and itchy for a while, so there is no need to worry about it through the leaves."
Salius was greatly relieved when he heard the words, his eyes lit up, it turns out that as long as there is no wound, it will be fine? That's great!
"We can come and see the situation of the trap tomorrow." Lu Liran said, "Shall we continue fishing tonight?"
Salius nodded: "Okay, then let's catch small fish now? Prepare more bait today, maybe catch more fish than yesterday!"
