The next day.
Last night's rhetoric finally came to a test.
Except for the hunting team that has not yet returned, no one has gone out. If the fishing net can be successful, the tribe's food pressure will be greatly reduced. Everyone wants to witness the arrival of this moment.
"God's envoy, God's envoy...fish?"
From the moment Song Xuan got up, the group of children gathered around him, chattering without stopping for a moment.
"Let's talk after breakfast..."
Really unable to do anything about the noise, Song Xuan put on a slightly serious face and pretended to be a little angry.
Seeing that the divine envoy was a little angry, everyone calmed down, but they still stared at Song Xuan with burning eyes, which made Song Xuan lose his temper.
After Song Xuan came to Tengshe, the original two meals became three meals. Although the breakfast was not very rich, it was still enough to satisfy his stomach.
A bowl of clam soup and a few snails is everyone's breakfast.
"Sen Si, Sen Si, eat &*,& fish!",
As soon as Song Xuan's lips touched the edge of the bowl, the most noisy Shi Pi started a new round of urging.
He drank the boiling broth in one gulp and was so hot that he grinned and couldn't even speak clearly.
"Why……"
"Okay, okay, let's go!"
With a sigh, Song Xuan also speeded up his eating. He drank the soup in the bowl in a few mouthfuls, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, picked up the fishing net that had been moved out a long time ago, and the group rushed to the river with great momentum.
Song Xuan carefully considered the place to lay the net. The water flow is the slowest on the lower reaches of the convex bank of the river, and fish generally prefer to gather here.
The tribe only has one net. Here, you can also use the river banks on both sides to set up a pocket array. When the fish comes in, you only need to stop one party.
After making some arrangements, Song Xuan took everyone into action. The river water in the late autumn morning was still a bit cold, and Song Xuan shivered as soon as he entered the water.
The three people stretched the net into a semicircle, and inserted wooden sticks into the mud on both sides. All the others need to do is drive the fish into it.
Everyone spread out in the river, holding hands, and surrounded the river for about ten meters.
Song Xuan gave the order, and everyone started to take action. Water splashed for a while, and the scene was somewhat joyful.
"Wow~"
As the circle of people continued to shrink, children kept screaming. Basically, fish hit their calves, and fish jumped out of the water from time to time.
As the encirclement gradually narrowed, the net, the crowd, and the river bank formed a cage, a two-story human wall, making it difficult for fish to escape through the gaps.
At this time, the fishing net started to move. The other side of the river bank did not move. The other two people cooperated with the human wall and gradually tightened it until the fishing net and the river bank formed a semicircle.
The semicircle formed by the seven or eight meter fishing net is not large, but there are many fish in it. The escaping fish collide with the fishing net, causing water to splash around the net.
Fortunately, the water is only waist deep now, and there is a lot of surplus in the fishing nets. Except for those who are very lucky and can escape from the edge, the others are basically blocked.
Seeing this scene, Song Xuan finally felt relieved. The rich resources did not disappoint him. Looking at the website, there must be dozens of large and small ones.
All that needs to be done now is to drag the net up. There are animal skin ropes tied to the four corners of the net. However, in order to prevent the fish from being too strong and breaking the net, there are still people standing behind the net.
He could not only pull the net to maintain the height, but also use his body to support it. Although it was not easy to be hit by a big fish, everyone was happy. There were so many fish, enough for the tribe to eat happily for a day.
There is strength in numbers. When the fishing net shrunk to only two meters wide, Song Xuan signaled everyone not to move any more.
Pulling it up further will only increase the pressure on the fishing net. If the net is torn, it will be a big loss, so it is better to be safe.
At this time, everyone looked at Song Xuan.
"Angel! You...come..."
Net fishing was the idea of Song Xuan, and everyone wanted him to catch the first fish with his own hands.
Scanning the water, Song Xuan quickly locked onto one, swooped down, and held it tightly with both hands. Feeling the strength of the fish's struggle in his hands, Song Xuan also smiled happily and threw it onto the shore.
"Don't be stunned, let's catch him together!"
Looking at the lively fish on the shore, Song Xuan looked at everyone with a smile and said, catching fish requires more people to have fun.
As more and more people came in, the water became more and more turbid, and it really became a case of fishing in troubled waters.
After all, the number of fish in the net is still limited. Because there are too many people in the sewer, it is difficult to use them. The last one or two keep escaping between the legs of the group, and they have never been able to catch them.
"Okay, come on up, Dahua, you two, pull up the net."
There are not many fish in the water now, so there is no pressure to continue trawling. It is easy to pull it to the shore, and the remaining fish can only jump around in the net bag.
In addition to fish, there were also many river mussels and snails that were pulled to the shore. Song Xuan even saw two large crabs. Crabs are at their most plump in autumn, so this was an unexpected harvest.
Watching dozens of fish jumping around is quite visually impactful.
The counting results came out quickly. The fish were divided into two piles according to size. Since the mesh automatically filtered out the small fish, the fish on the shore were not small, and the smallest one weighed about half a catty.
The big ones weighed more than four or five kilograms, and there were thirteen in total. The rest seemed to be smaller, most of them weighing about one or two kilograms, but although they were not big, they were plenty in number.
According to a rough calculation, one net can yield more than a hundred kilograms of fish. For the Tengshe Tribe, this harvest is already quite terrifying.
Although it requires a lot of manpower, everyone wants to participate. We will do it later, and five or six people are enough.
Moreover, catching fish can be left to the children, so not many people are needed.
Everyone was a little stunned at this time. When they caught each person, they only had one or two. Although they knew that they would gain a lot, they did not expect that there would be so much.
Save some fish from this net and add some wild fruits, which is enough for the tribe to eat for two days.
Looking at the meandering river in front of us, everyone's eyes glowed green.
The rich catch made everyone very excited. Before Song Xuan could say anything, the children in the tribe were all rushing into the cave.
Then someone ran out with a pile of animal skins. Those who didn't grab the animal skins even took out their own bedding. Being hungry was much more uncomfortable than sleeping uncomfortable.
"God's messenger...net!"
"God's envoy, God's envoy!"
Soon a group of children gathered around Song Xuan, holding the animal skins and looking at him eagerly, the meaning was self-evident.
