Farming in the Primitive Tribe

Chapter 18 Catching Fish

Grandpa Yuan Qiao snorted coldly, looked at Shen Xiaoxiao displeased, and kept chattering for a while before stopping. Shen Xiaoxiao was going in one ear and out the other, completely ignoring her. Xiao Yan wanted to do something for her. She was able to stop him from even complaining. After all, those two sentences were all he could say. It was just that she had led Xiao Yan astray and made him not even want the tribe.

Shen Xiaoxiao was extremely helpless. If Xiao Yan didn't want to become bad, could she take care of him? Besides, she didn't do anything, so she was even more unjust than Dou E.

But who makes her an outsider? She is not trusted by them. In their eyes, no matter what she does, it is wrong. In addition, Xiao Yan should have been a good child in the tribe before. Now that she comes, Xiao Yan became disobedient, so it was not her fault.

"Xiao Xiao, I'm sorry." Xiao Yan suddenly felt guilty. Xiao Xiao finally came to him, but within a few days, he had made Xiao Xiao suffer a lot. If he hadn't come here, Xiao Xiao would have been very happy now. Be happy.

Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and understood, and said nonchalantly, "It's not your fault. Besides, I'm not money, so it's impossible for everyone to like me." But everyone was wary of her. It's off the mark.

"First rub the rope, and then tie the firewood, so that you can make a simple door. The wind and sand will not blow into the cave. In winter, with the door blocking the door, the cave will be much warmer." She thought about directly It was tied with reeds, but the reeds were easy to break. Thinking of how she had learned to twist the straw rope from the old man, she thought of twisting the reed into a rope shape, but she didn't know if the dry straw used for twisting the straw rope would work.

Shen Xiaoxiao first took eight reeds and divided them into two halves, tied them into knots, clamped the knotted end between her legs and fixed it. She rubbed the reeds in the same direction with her thumbs and index fingers. After rubbing for a while, she added more The new reed was about one meter long. Shen Xiaoxiao smiled happily. It seemed that it was feasible to use reeds to twist ropes.

Xiao Yan's face was full of curiosity, and he became even more curious when he saw Shen Xiaoxiao rubbing the grass that no one wanted together, "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"

"The rope is used to tie firewood together to make a door. It can also be used to tie things." Shen Xiaoxiao said while tying a knot at the end, "I'll teach you." The speed of the two of them will be faster. , Xiao Yan looked at her with a curious face, "First take some reeds, and then..." Shen Xiaoxiao demonstrated while speaking. Xiao Yan watched carefully and followed step by step, and soon rubbed out a small piece. Seeing this, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but praise him for learning quickly, "Xiaoxiao teaches well."

Although he was a novice, his speed was not slow. Apart from being unskilled at the beginning, he became more and more familiar and soon there was a long string of ropes piled under his feet. Seeing this, he asked Shen Xiaoxiao to rest while he rubbed it himself. This looks simple, but if you rub your hands for a long time, your hands will hurt. He can do this kind of work.

Shen Xiaoxiao did not refuse. She took a wooden stick and measured the width and height of the cave entrance. She found that the firewood she brought back was a bit short, shorter than the stone cave entrance, but this was just what she wanted. After all, She didn't plan to seal the hole tightly, ventilation was still very important.

She spread the required firewood on the ground, placed a wooden stick across the top, and then tied it with a twisted rope. Then she used the rope to directly connect the wooden sticks tightly together, and also placed a wooden stick in the middle and at the bottom. A wooden stick was placed horizontally at the top and fixed with a rope. The two horizontal wooden sticks were tied with a rope between them.

The two worked hard for a long time before finishing the door. Xiao Yan placed the door at the entrance of the cave according to Shen Xiaoxiao's instructions. Shen Xiaoxiao frowned slightly. It would be easy to fall down if it was left like this, and it would be easy to run in if it was placed sideways.

Suddenly her eyes lit up, "Can you dig a hole here? It doesn't need to be too deep." Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to a place at the entrance of the hole. Xiao Yan nodded and started to work. Shen Xiaoxiao was at the far end. A longer wooden stick was tied to a wooden stick, and Xiao Yan also dug a hole in the ground according to her request.

Shen Xiaoxiao asked him to use the bone knife to sharpen the length of the stick, measured the length of the longest stick, and then asked Xiao Yan to smash the sharpened stick into the cave wall with a stone at the corresponding position. Shen Xiao Xiao placed the door there, then tied the two wooden sticks together with a rope, and then tried to push the door. When she saw that the door successfully turned and closed, her eyes were full of joy.

"In the future, we can close the door when we are not at home, or we don't want others to see what we are doing." Although it took some time, the results were still quite good.

Xiao Yan pushed the door curiously. It turned out that this was the door Xiaoxiao said. It was exactly what Xiaoxiao said. You couldn't see inside if it was closed.

After they packed up, the people who went out to hunt and pick had almost returned. Xiao Yan originally wanted to go into the mountains to catch a short-tailed bird but was stopped by Shen Xiaoxiao, "Today we eat fish."

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment and then said, "That one doesn't taste good." Although Xiaoxiao was able to judge the meat as very delicious, the fish was so smelly that it was hard to swallow. Just smelling it made her feel stinky. Xiaoxiao should I don’t know why I want to eat it.

"It definitely doesn't taste good when eaten raw. You can eat it when roasted. I won't go into the mountains today. Let's make do with it first." Shen Xiaoxiao said with a faint smile, "The reason why it smells fishy is because it is eaten directly without processing. Cleanliness is also a delicacy.”

Xiao Yan was doubtful. Although he was still very confused, seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao was so sure, he subconsciously believed what she said. Even if he couldn't eat it, he would wrong Xiaoxiao and eat some wild fruits first. He would hunt some prey tomorrow. return.

Xiao Yan and Shen Xiaoxiao arrived at the river. The fish in the river were not afraid of people at all. Maybe it was because there were few people catching them, but these fish were very bold and even dared to swim in front of them, as if to say , even if I swim to you, you don't dare to eat me, some even jump out of the water in front of them, extremely arrogant.

Shen Xiaoxiao only thought it was funny, as expected, the soil and water provided the fish.

Just when Shen Xiaoxiao was about to take action, Xiao Yan stopped her, "I'll do it." Shen Xiaoxiao didn't argue with him and looked at him from the shore. Soon Xiao Yan caught a fish and he held it up with a smile. The fish looked at Shen Xiaoxiao, "Throw it to the ground and knock it unconscious." Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to the shore.

Xiao Yan did not hesitate and threw it to the ground. The fish jumped twice and then fainted. Shen Xiaoxiao quickly picked it up and shook it with her hands. It weighed two or three kilograms. She washed it with water. Then he put it on the rocks and used a bone knife to hang off the scales of the fish. Then he disemboweled the fish and took out the internal organs. The gills were not forgotten.

Xiao Yan caught another fish before she had finished handling it. He threw the fish to the shore and tried to catch it again. Shen Xiaoxiao called out to him, "That's enough. Come up quickly."

The one she looked at was about the same size as the one she was holding, except that it was crucian carp and the one she was holding was grass carp. It was enough for two people.
