Chapter 91 Fishing and Hunting
"The blood of the earth?"

Lin Yu was puzzled.

Miao was even more skeptical, and he didn't dare to jump to conclusions. The bluestone in the tribe had always been kept by the priests of the earth, and he had only seen it in sacrificial ceremonies. It was said that only those with the blood of the earth could play its role.

Although the white stone in this girl's hand is very similar to the blue stone, but after all, the color is different, maybe it is also a "spiritual stone", maybe not, he can't be sure.

Before that, Miao still had reservations about Lin Yu's remarks about grain planting, but at this moment, realizing that she might have the blood of the earth like Kui, everything became reasonable.

If the earth priest doesn't know how to farm, that would be a strange thing!

After thinking about it again, the Dahe Tribe has both sky priests and earth priests at the same time, no wonder they can use the power of the sky and the earth at the same time.

"Hey... what do you mean I have the blood of the earth? Have you seen this white stone?"

Lin Yu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, seeing that Miao suddenly fell silent, his eyes were dazed as if his soul had gone out of his body, but the expression on his face became more and more complicated, shocking, stunned, envious... I don't know what he was thinking about What, but judging from where he looked, it was probably related to this white stone.

Miao regained his composure, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before. Do you use it to purify water?"

"That's exactly what it does." Lin Yu admitted frankly.

"Are you the only one who can make it work?"

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows, and keenly caught the loopholes in the other party's words: "How do you know that only I can play its role? You know its origin!"

"This……"

Miao hesitated again. The existence of Qingshi was the most important secret of the tribe, and also the most important secret of the priest of the earth. He was unwilling and unable to reveal it to outsiders.

But this time Lin Yu didn't let him go easily, and he was determined to ask to the end.

Being asked in a hurry, Miao had no choice but to say a little bit: "Whether it is stone or soil, they are all part of the earth. You can ask these questions when you meet the earth priest of our tribe. I know a lot about it." Not as much as she knows."

After Miao said that, he immediately ran away, afraid that the girl would continue to hold him.

Lin Yu stroked the round white stone, and became more and more curious about this earth priest who "hidden his head and revealed his tail".

She told Zhang Tian about this, and Zhang Tian was equally astonished. He didn't take the priests of these primitive tribes seriously at first, but now it seems that the priests of the Yougu tribe might really have something.

After breakfast, the guests insisted that they should not just sit and eat, and that they should join the men in the mountains to hunt and contribute a little bit of their strength.

The young hunters were gearing up, and Gu YouQi was eager to try. In just one morning, he had already achieved the achievement of proficiency in archery. Even Hutou had to admit that this young man's talent might not be inferior to his own.

Gu Po was somewhat complacent.

Compared with his brothers, he is not strong enough, nor can he run fast enough. He can use all kinds of weapons, but he can only use them. He has always been the most ordinary one. Nothing special.

Now, he has finally found his own strengths, and he is waiting to flex his muscles!
With the addition of the guests, the hunting team almost doubled in size, so the soldiers divided into two groups, heading upstream and downstream of the river respectively.

The anglers still went to the river.

Hearing that fishing is a relaxing and joyful job, Miao happily went there. He was very curious about this thing called a fishing rod composed of a bamboo and a long line. It is said that it can catch fish continuously!

He couldn't figure out the reason at all, but he had seen so many things that he couldn't figure out that night that he was a little numb now.

Zhang Tian hadn't gone fishing by the river for a long time, and Zhang Tian also joined the fishing team today.

Since the first snowfall, the river water has faintly shown signs of freezing. Zhang Tian found fragments of ice on the bank when he fetched water from the river these days.

The result of the increasingly colder river water is that the fish catch is decreasing.

In the beginning, one day's fish catch was enough for the entire tribe to eat for three days, but now the fish catch and hunting income are added together to meet the daily amount.

Of course, there are also plenty of food reserves, and the clansmen are more able to open their stomachs to eat meat. The same amount of meat, placed in the Yougu tribe and the Dashu tribe, is enough for them to eat for two days.

Zhang Tian also considered whether to weave a fishing net to catch fish, but he gave up after a little attempt.

Fishing nets made of bark fibers are too thick, have too much wind resistance, and are not easy to throw far. Moreover, the water cutting performance is too poor, and the sinking is too slow. As long as the fish are a little more flexible, all the fish will run away. It is very heavy, and the fishing efficiency is extremely low, even worse than fishing.

Besides, he has already cultivated a group of excellent prehistoric fishermen who are keen on this, so why bother to look far away?
Nothing can stop them. Their yearning for fishing, even if the river freezes in the future, they can still dig a hole for winter fishing!
A group of nine people went down to the river.

Zhang Tian gave Miao a fishing rod and taught him how to fish.

Miao was a little nervous.

Haven't done anything like this in a long time.

He used to be good at hunting deer with spears, climbing trees and catching birds. He used to be able to run for dozens of miles without changing his face or panting. He used to face giant beasts in winter hunting without flinching... …But now he is very old, and he is no longer up to the task of hunting over mountains and mountains and over long distances.

When was the last time you went out into the wild to hunt for food?He can't remember.

He only remembered that it was a beautiful day, the sky was clear, the millet in the field was growing vigorously, and the weather was neither cold nor hot, but that morning, the clansmen went hunting and did not call him again.

He knew that the clansmen were doing it for his own good, and he also knew that no matter how strong a person is, he will eventually grow old, just like a hundred flowers blooming in warm weather, and will eventually return to the embrace of Mother Earth in cold weather.

but……

"Throw the hook."

A slightly childish voice interrupted his chaotic thoughts, he imitated Zhang Tian's movements and threw the baited fishhook into the water.

The line sank slowly with the hook, and only the dead leaf buoy floated on the water, motionless.

He held the fishing rod tightly, feeling uneasy, not sure whether these old and feeble hands could regain their former glory.

"Relax." Zhang Tian said, "Although fish are stupid, they are also very sensitive. If you are so nervous, they will notice."

Time passed slowly.

Miao is very calm, which is one of the few advantages that old age gives him.

Suddenly, the dead leaf buoy shook violently!
The strength of the fish's struggle was transmitted through the fishing line to the fishing rod, and then from the fishing rod to his fingertips. He only felt his fingers go numb, followed by goosebumps all over his body!

At this moment, he felt his old heart beating enthusiastically again!
