Original War

Chapter 90

Soon after Shao Xuan returned home, Lang Ga came over to inform him about his participation in the patrol. Each hunting team had a place in charge, and three groups of people took turns guarding.

Participating in defense does not necessarily encounter dangerous things, but just plays a preventive role. After all, there are too many unknown factors in this big river, and it is always good to be prepared.

“Mai and the others will start patrolling tonight, and you will change them with me tomorrow morning.” Lang Ga said.

“Okay, I see, what do I need to bring?” Shao Xuan asked.

“You don’t need to bring too much, just weigh the stone tools in your hands. It only takes half a day each time.” Lang Ga pointed to a place under the mountain, “It’s there, by the river, not far from where you used to fish.”

“You probably didn’t know when you stayed in the cave last year. After the rainy season comes, the river will rise a lot, probably to… there.” Lang Ga pointed to Shao Xuan.

There, there is a line surrounded by stones, and there is no house in the place where the stone line goes down.

Therefore, the people living at the bottom of the tribe are only close to the foot of the mountain, but they do not build houses directly at the foot of the mountain, which is the reason for the flooding in the rainy season. Those who were temporarily stationed near the river for fishing purposes have now all been evacuated, and they will not be close to the river until the end of the rainy season.

Thinking that Shao Xuan might not know what happens in the rainy season, Lang Ga also specifically talked to Shao Xuan about the things that happened in previous years. When the rain outside became lighter, Lang Ga took Shao Xuan around. Recognizing the land also gave Shao Xuan a psychological preparation. Although the place they are guarding won’t have much difficulty, they still pay more attention.

“In other words, the hunting team will not leave for hunting until the end of the rainy season?” Shao Xuan asked.

He thought he was just staying in the tribe for a period of time, and if there was no trouble, he would go hunting, but according to Lang Ga’s words, this meant that he had to stay in the tribe during the rainy season? What does the undernourished person eat? !

“There is no way. The tribe has such rules. Like many people on the mountain, they stock up a lot of goods and have a high level of prey. If they can survive, it will be troublesome for the people under the mountain. High, the energy provided is limited, most of the time I will still be hungry, but!” Lang Ga chuckled: “This is much better than in winter, because during the rainy season, there will be some things that we can pick and eat.”

“Something?” Shao Xuan couldn’t help frowning at the thought of the various insects coming out of the training site.

“You’ll know when the time comes.” Lang Ga also said too much, “I’m not starving anyway.”

Um?

Shao Xuan is really curious now. Hearing Lang Ga’s words, it was not the kind of bug that emerged from the training ground, but something else?

“It’s this once a year. Although it may be dangerous, be careful, it’s okay, don’t worry.” Lang Ga clenched his fist and hammered Shao Xuan’s shoulder to show encouragement.

Shao Xuan rubbed his shoulders and looked at the river in the rain.

Overlords of the river show up from time to time on the river in the distance. After observing the horror beasts, Shao Xuan had a doubt. The overlords in the river seemed to be moving in one direction, as can be seen from the movements of their leaping. It’s okay if it’s an individual case, but all the horror beasts that have been exposed above the water have their heads facing in the same direction, without exception!

“Is that the upstream or downstream of the river?” Shao Xuan asked Lang Ga, pointing to the direction of the river fear beast when it jumped up.

“Upstream and downstream? I don’t know, I haven’t been, it’s too far.” Lang Ga said indifferently. For him, there is no difference between upstream and downstream of the river, and he won’t think too much.

Shao Xuan looked in that direction and wondered what exactly it was over there, why those river overlords would head over there, the river was already big enough, if it weren’t for the river’s water to be fresh water, at first glance he thought it was the sea… …Ocean? !

Could it be that this is a river into the sea? !

Shao Xuan recalled the situation when he went out with the hunting team twice, speculated on the position and topography, and concluded that the current direction of the overlords in the river is mostly the lower reaches of the big river, and if the river really enters the sea. , So, why do the overlords of the river swim toward the sea in the rainy season?

Many fishes will make periodic directional swimming back and forth due to many factors such as reproduction, food or overwintering, which is the so-called migratory feature. Then, are the overlords in these rivers also carrying out similar migratory behaviors?

Shao Xuan shook his head, everything was just speculation. They won’t get the result if they ask Lang Ga, because they don’t even know what the sea is.

Regardless of whether the overlords in the river are swimming in the direction of the rainy season, for the current Shao Xuan, there is nothing they can do. However, after going back later, Shao Xuan will record these observations in his own “notebook”.

Shao Xuan had already cleared out some animal skins suitable for recording and used it to record things, including those paintings that he saw in the cave before. Shao Xuan also painted them from memory and hid them. If the animal skin cannot be stored for too long, then it will be re-engraved on a slate.

Looking back from the behemoths who couldn’t see their figures in the distance, and staying on the river beach for a while, Shao Xuan suddenly said, “Langga, you said, make a few fish fences here, okay?”

Lang Ga, who was thinking about how much food he could get in the rainy season this year, was pulled back to his senses by Shao Xuan’s words, and asked suspiciously: “Fish gate? What is that?”

“It’s something made of wooden sticks and nets to intercept fish.” Shao Xuan gave a general description, and then continued: “I wonder if I can use such a fish fence as a simple trap.”

“Trap?” Lang Ga’s eyes lit up suddenly.

“It’s actually very simple…” Shao Xuan took out the stone knife he was carrying and drew a picture on the ground.

As Lang Ga, who also uses the skill of trap setting, he can infer what Shao Xuan means when he sees what Shao Xuan is telling, and then connects with the paintings on the ground.

Feared and patted his head, Lang Ga regretted: “Why didn’t I expect it before!”

What Shao Xuan wants to make is a simple fish-bar trap. It is not difficult and does not require other more sophisticated settings. Just like setting up a fish bar, wood or stone pillars are used to make a fence, and the fish bar is like a mosquito coil. Inwardly, some are circular inwardly, while others are squarely inwardly. Shao Xuan wants to see the difference between these types. The only opening of this simple fish trap type trap is toward the direction of the river.

Or use a fish grid to make a pocket, such as the larger letter omega “Ω”. Unlike the former, this kind of opening faces the river, so that after the low tide, the fish that swim in will be trapped inside.

Unless the fish that swims in has a high IQ, generally speaking, it can still be trapped. Shao Xuan tried it in his previous life.

However, because Shao Xuan has not participated in the patrol of the tribe during the rainy season, I don’t know if such a setting can be added at this time, so I asked Lang Ga.

“Yes, yes! No problem at all!” Lang Ga looked at the river surface that hadn’t started soaring, and called to Shao Xuan: “Let’s go find the stone, and set up this set while the river surface hasn’t risen!”

Because some things in the river eat wood, you can’t use wood if you set up a fish fence, you can only use stones. However, when you don’t pay attention to stone, the stone pillars used to make the fish fence are easier to make.

Therefore, when Mai brought the first group of people over and started to patrol, he saw Shao Xuan and Lang Ga who were busy on the river bank, and from near the river to the stone line set up by the tribe, there was a certain gap between them. There is a fish fence in the distance.

Because the time is too fast, and the beauty is not emphasized, the thickness of the stone pillars is not uniform, and a few stone pillars are even as thick as thighs, and people can stand steady on them.
