The wilderness is rich in materials.
Since Fengxi taught the tribe how to tame animals as livestock, and through words and deeds, the Fenggun tribe has gradually gotten rid of the days when food was scarce.
All kinds of beasts began to be conquered by the tribesmen, and even with the help of Fu Dou, they tamed a type of species living deep in the jungle.
This population seems to have some similarities with Fu Dou, like those animal companions of humans in the future life, but retaining their wild nature.
At first, they were unwilling to surrender, and even the tribesmen had to squat for several days in order to capture them.
Even so, Feng Gun's clan members were all covered in bruises.
Groups of beast races know how to cooperate with each other in hunting better than they do, and their abundant wildness also makes them unwilling to surrender.
In the end, Feng Xi, who was secretly observing, ordered Fu Dou to appear and naturally replace the king of this group, which made them bow their heads and surrender.
Feng Xi named this group of beasts subdued by Feng Gun - dogs after the hieroglyphs created by himself and Xi!
From then on, every member of the Fenggun tribe who could go out hunting imitated Feng Xi, and accompanied each person by a dog.
Dogs gradually became the help of tribal people. The passage of time seems to have bound the two destined races together in no time.
…
This day.
Feng Xi left the tribe, but he didn't take any one person or beast with him. There were very few people who could threaten his life in this primitive jungle.
He also took away the rope that the tribe used to remember things.
These ropes are made of some kind of grass entwined around the tribe. They are so strong that even huge beasts have difficulty breaking free.
According to Amhuash, its production method was passed down from a tribe in a distant place a long time ago, along with the method of making clothing from animal skins.
That tribe is called Ziyi.
In addition to using these tribal ropes to help the tribesmen hunt, Hua Xu kept the rest to record tribal affairs.
When Fuxi showed Hua Xu the characters he created, the intelligent Hua Xu quickly understood the purpose of the characters.
The rope that Hua Xu originally used to remember things was quickly replaced by characters that made it easier to remember things.
Feng Xi also asked for the rope used to remember things from Hua Xu in advance.
He will use these ropes to find a way for the tribe to become stronger again!
…
At this time, Feng Xi was standing by a large river, with a pile of straw ropes piled beside him. Some straw ropes had already been tied with regular note-taking knots.
He looked at the rolling river in front of him. The river was so wide that one could not see the end at a glance.
This is the only river near the tribe and the source of water that Feng Gun relies on for survival.
He stared at the river in front of him. The water was not very clear, and it was so dark that he couldn't see the bottom of the river clearly. It made people tremble at the sight, as if there were powerful predators living in it.
Hua Xu told Feng Xi that the tribe rarely came here, and they would not take the risk to get water unless the tribe's water source was scarce.
Compared to the dangerous jungle, this place is like a deep and greedy mouth. If they are not careful, their lives will be taken away silently.
Feng Xi stared at it for a long time and slowly sat down. He took out a few straw ropes, placed them in front of him, and began to thread them through and tie them.
Make a web.
What Feng Xi is doing right now is building a net.
The tribe's life is getting better day by day, and the abundant food makes the tribe members immersed in happiness.
But Feng Xi did not forget that although hunting jungle beasts and raising livestock could solve the people's survival difficulties, they still wanted to develop and grow. A single food source is not enough.
The fight triggered a swarm of beasts, and when the last swarm dispersed, many beasts died. Coupled with the Fenggun tribe's frequent hunting and the creatures' pursuit of advantages and avoidance of disadvantages, they began to stay away from this jungle.
During this time, the tribesmen went out to hunt, and the distances they traveled became farther and farther. This made Feng Xi see the crisis behind the tribe's prosperity.
He needed to find another source of food for the tribe.
You can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you can rely on water to eat water.
When the jungle gradually became unable to satisfy the Fenggun tribe's appetite, this river became Fengxi's first choice.
But Feng Xi knew very well that rivers were different from jungles. The surging water not only blocked the progress of the tribe, but also made all previous hunting methods useless.
And the net.
It was a tool prepared by Feng Xi for his tribe to hunt in the river.
It is not an easy task for one person to weave a large net. Fortunately, the tribe has ready-made straw ropes, so Feng Xi does not need to start weaving from beginning to end.
It is actually not difficult to make a net. A few straw ropes can be interspersed to make a simple net.
The key is the method of knotting. Only by making correct and strong knots can we weave a real net.
The knot should be neither too loose nor too tight. It is not easy to tighten the mesh size. If it is loose, the entire network will be useless.
A simple knotted net is only suitable for catching prey on land. There are tribesmen holding weapons to assist. Even if the net cannot completely restrain the beast, it is enough to block it for a moment, allowing the tribesmen to pick up weapons and hunt it down.
But if you want to hunt the "beasts" in the river, it's not possible. If the mesh is loose, all the "beasts" will run away.
A weak net cannot restrain the beasts in the river!
What Feng Xi wants to do is not only to make a net for catching large beasts on land, but also to make a fishing net that can catch those clever "beasts" in the river.
Time passed and the sun was setting in the west. After working for most of the day, a large net took shape in Feng Xi's hands.
They are criss-crossed with four stones tied to the four corners. Knots securely fasten the interlaced straw ropes to form fist-sized meshes.
This was the mesh size decision that Feng Xi made after careful consideration.
The mesh should not be too small, otherwise it will exhaust the fish and catch all the big and small "beasts" in the river.
When tribesmen hunt, they will inadvertently give up those young "beasts". It is not that those "beasts" cannot be used as food for the tribesmen, but the tribe wants them to grow up before hunting them.
In this way, you can obtain a steady stream of prey.
You can’t catch fish without exhausting the lake!
Even many members of the Fenggun tribe understand the truth, so why can't Fengxi, who comes from a mature civilization and has experienced education, not understand it.
But the mesh should also not be too large. If the mesh is too large and the knots are too few, the net will not be strong and the tribe will be able to obtain less food.
The size of the fist is just enough to release the young "beasts", leaving behind the big "beasts" that the tribe needs.
He raised his head and glanced at the scorching sun in the sky. As the sun set to the west, there was already a touch of coolness in the air.
Feng Xi lowered his head and stared at the river in front of him, with a divine light in his eyes.
"I just hope this net won't disappoint me!"
