Chapter 90 Don't move!
"What are you doing? Are you traps?" Mai came over and asked.
"When the river water rises, I can stand on it." The person standing next to the wheat smiled.
They don’t know what Shao Xuan and Lang Ga did this for, but everyone in the hunting team knows that Lang Ga is interested in setting traps. Although most of the time they only set up sets about ground bows, they also set up some other types.
Langga told Shao Xuan about his thoughts, and everyone was also very curious. As for setting up such a fish fence here, it will not only not hinder their troubles, but also provide convenience. When the water rises, you can step on it and jump.
"You should go back. We will patrol tonight first. Langga, you can bring people here to change tomorrow." Mai said.
"Okay, I'll go back after finishing this last one. I didn't notice it just now, but now I'm so hungry." Lang Ga touched his stomach and looked at his achievements, very satisfied.
Shao Xuan, who had already completed his last fish fence, found that the people who came with Mai, in addition to his own stone tools and animal skin bags containing food, also brought a net woven with straw ropes.
"Uncle Mai, what are you doing for bringing hay nets?" Shao Xuan asked.
"This," Mai smiled, "Of course it's about filling food."
Seeing that Shao Xuan was still confused, Mai said, "You will know when you come tomorrow. By the way, remember to bring a larger net bag when you come tomorrow."
Although they didn't know what they used to pack with mesh bags, Shao Xuan still prepared a mesh bag.
The next day, Shao Xuan brought Caesar and Zhazha 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 patrolmen were already there. What surprised Shao Xuan was that Mai and his grass nets were filled with snails as big as watermelons!
Not only that, you can also see the river bank where sharp corners gradually appear on the river bank, all of which are snails, coming towards the river bank.
Although it doesn't seem to be much now, if you keep going like this, everyone can get a lot when the patrol is over, and you will know it by looking at the microphone.
Their shells are very thick, and even the piranhas in the river may not be able to deal with them. However, the tribes are different. After all, people can use tools to pull them out of the shell.
"Don't look at these shells being very hard, but after you take them back and cook them, the shells will easily break soon. In the past, some people wanted to use their shells to make things, but they didn't expect that they would break after a while." Mai said to Shao Xuan.
Even though these snails provide not much energy alone, the quantity is there, which can indeed solve the food problem. No wonder Langga is not worried.
According to Mai, these snails do not come out normally, and will only land in large numbers after the rainy season officially begins. The good thing is that these snails do not have any attack power, which is completely the food provided to people who are in short supply of physical objects in the rainy season.
I don’t know if there are parasites, but looking at people from the tribe, they have been eating for so many years, so there should be no problem.
Since the shift changers have arrived, Mai and the others have not stayed for a long time. They have been wet all night and have a rain. They quickly go back to eat and have a sleep. After resting, they come over to continue patrolling.
"You are here first. If you find an abnormal situation that cannot be dealt with, you should blow the whistle immediately. Do you hear it?" Mai said to Langga and others.
"I know, it's not the first time the rainy season patrol. I've told him that I'll take it with me then, don't worry." Lang Ga waved at Mai, and then rushed over to continue looking at the fish fence made yesterday.
The rain has not stopped, at most it only occasionally falls smaller. The river surface has risen a lot compared to yesterday. Most of the fish fence closest to the river yesterday has been submerged in the water.
At this level, no fish would enter. It was too early and there was no abnormality on the river surface. Shao Xuan and others picked up snails.
These snails, Shao Xuan, don’t know which species they are, they grow differently, and there are many types of threads and colors. However, Lang Ga said they can be eaten, and Shao Xuan didn’t care so much. When they climbed ashore, they just picked them up and threw them into the grass net. But they were stuck tightly against the ground, and the smoother areas with stones would have to use some force. It would be not easy to pull them off the stones.
After patrolling for most of the day, nothing happened. Apart from the various snails climbing to the river bank, there was nothing else. When Shao Xuan returned that day, he sent a lot of snails to the children in the cave and Lao Ke. Anyway, he couldn't eat that much, so Caesar didn't eat this, so Zhazha was fresh for a while, just committed to pecking the snail meat out of the shell, which was fun.
On the third day when Shao Xuan participated in the patrol, the edge of the river had completely exceeded the first fish fence. The first fish fence was not big, with a diameter of only two meters. At that time, he felt it was too small and did not dismantle and rebuilt. Instead, he deliberately made it much bigger when building the second fish fence. Therefore, when the water surface passed the first fish fence, the second fish fence that was almost parallel to the first fish fence was only partially immersed in the water.
"How is it?" Lang Ga over there threw the picked snail into the grass net and shouted to Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan stood by the first fish fence and looked inside carefully.
No fish...
In addition, there were no piranhas with big heads and sharp teeth around, and no other fish seemed to have disappeared.
When the water rises, I didn’t see a single fish!
So, the fish fence is white?
No, you can see what else is in the river besides the fish.
Keep it. Shao Xuan looked at the fish fences under his feet and planned to keep these fish fences here for the time being, and then remove them after the tide is reduced. Anyway, it will not hinder the patrol.
"Nothing!" Shao Xuan replied.
As he got up and was about to go to the shore, Shao Xuan suddenly felt a chill sweep by.
There is danger!
Just as he was about to jump out of the fish fence and run towards the river bank, he heard Lang Ga's rapid shouting.
"Don't move! Don't move!!"
Move, or not? These two thoughts flashed through Shao Xuan's mind instantly. In the end, Shao Xuan decided to settle there according to Lang Ga's words.
Although he did not move, his muscles were ready to go. Once something happened, he would take the next move. His hand had already touched the stone knife.
On the other side, Lang Ga no longer cared about picking up snails and came over with others. When he ran, he threw the snails in his hand to the water surface 30 meters away from Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan could hear the gurgling sound of the snail falling into the river, but the gaze like a needle was still there. Shao Xuan kept froze there, maintaining his previous position, without moving at all.
As soon as he looked up, he could see the cold gaze source, but at this moment, Shao Xuan held back and didn't even glance around.
Not far from Shao Xuan, at some point, a triangular head appeared on the water surface, and two round eyes were also on the head.
At this time, a small sound came from the water surface in front of him, which was not obvious in the sound of raindrops around him, but Shao Xuan could hear it clearly.
"Qua!"
Shao Xuan: “…”
Damn!
Chapter completed!
