primitive survival evolution

Chapter 22 Catching Fish
This time, a total of eight large fish with the thickness of an arm were caught, and more than a dozen medium-sized fish that were the size of two palms.

Although the efficiency of the five members of the tribe has improved a bit compared to the usual, it is obvious that this cannot meet the requirements in Li Yan's heart.

According to the plan, this fish dam should be able to intercept all the big fish leading to the river.

Li Yan went into the water with doubts to observe each stake.

"Ok?"

He quickly discovered the problem. Some of the stakes had been drilled through the bottom, and smaller fish could swim out through the cracks.

"Catfish can make holes." Li Yan suddenly realized, "These catfish saw that the road was blocked, so they dug mud along the bottom of the wooden fence, and put some stones at the bottom of the wooden pile to support it."

Li Yan found the first reason, and soon, he found several more reasons.

For example, this wooden fence has double horoscopes. Li Yan's original intention was to allow the fish at the front and back to run in, but obviously, this would increase the chances of the fish escaping.

Another reason is that there is a problem with the location of the fish dam. This river section is gentle, but it is not the main place for fish to enter and exit.

Secondly, coelacanth and catfish eat meat, but they put grass, so some meat bait should be put in.

After finding out the reason, Li Yan and several men removed the fish dam.

At this time, the collection team also came to collect. This time Wen Ge, Bai Wu, and even Mu from the tribe also came here in person.

Seeing this, several men here hurriedly brought the fish they caught to Mu for a look.

"Mum, so many fish were caught this morning, hee hee." The fishing man laughed.

Both Tom and the gatherers laughed when they saw the catch, but it seemed that the catch was only a little better than the usual method.

"Patriarch."

"Why did the patriarch remove the fish dam again?"

The collectors looked into the river, full of doubts.

Seeing this, Li Yan quickly climbed ashore and explained to Mu why he wanted to rebuild the fish dam.

Mu looked at the fish dam in the river and thought for a moment, then asked: "Yan, I know you are also for the tribe, but the tribe's food storage is not much, I plan to collect the grain and rice, and get food by gathering in the next few days." , are you sure you can really catch all the big fish that enter the river?"

"Yeah, it will definitely work this time." Li Yan nodded.

"it is good."

Mu once again agreed to Li Yan's request, and let Li Yan continue to take five middle-aged men out of food collection work to rebuild the dam.

In primitive times, people's productivity was low. Many times they ate one meal and did not have another meal. Therefore, every labor force is very precious. Li Yan repeatedly let five men out of the work of food collection. In order for the tribe to continue to operate, Only those who are not food collectors can be arranged to collect, and even Mu has to go into battle himself.

At this time, Tamar also came leading the previously tamed Parasaurolophus.

After Parasaurolophus was brought back, it was tied to a corner, and no one had time to take care of it. Now, this Parasaurolophus has an extra wooden frame.

Tamar came to him and said, "Yan, Hei Wu and I installed a wooden frame for Xiao Kuan, you can use it to transport wood."

"Uh-huh."

This juvenile Parasaurolophus is two meters tall and has plenty of strength. Now that it is installed on the wooden frame, it can put the wood on it.

Li Yan and several men placed the removed stakes on its back.

With the help of Parasaurolophus, these stakes were quickly moved to the junction of the tributary and the main river.

The river water at this junction is a bit rough, but Li Yan thinks that this is a good place for fishing.

He took the men and first built a row of wooden fences in the small river, with stones at the bottom. The gap between the wooden fences was only five centimeters, and it was difficult for those big fish to pass through, especially catfish and coelacanths. Relatively large fish.

This fishing trap is ten meters long, so that there is enough space inside, even if the fish is trapped here, it will not struggle too much.

There is a V-shaped wooden fence in front, and the side of the big mouth is facing the main river. The junction of this V-shape is a relatively small and weakly made opening, no matter how big a fish is, it can be arched in.

After finishing the trap, he also built a wooden door, which was used to close the door, and put it in the grass first.

It is now afternoon.

After carefully observing every detail, Li Yan took the men beside him to help collect.

After collecting, go back to the tribe, where the women of the tribe are killing fish.

Tribal people do not eat fish offal, so Li Yan asked for these offal, but the woman who cooked said that these offal must be reserved for direwolves, so Li Yan carefully picked out some dirty offal, such as fish Gallbladder fish stomach, etc., which add up to a pound of internal organs.

He wrapped these fish guts in hay and put a stone in the hay.

The hay is easy to disperse, so he went outside and cut a piece of soft bark, smashed the bark to make a bag, and wrapped the internal organs tightly like rice dumplings.

After dinner, he and several men returned to the fish barrage with these viscera.

It was evening at this time, and there were waves of terrifying beast roars from outside the valley, and sometimes some unknown loud noises, or seeing some giant trees trembling, it was very scary.

Evening is the time when fish come out to look for food. Along the way, you can see a lot of fish circling in the water. Some fish even jumped out of the water and made a loud noise, just like a person falling into the water. It was quite shocking. .

Some big fish are still chasing the school of fish, scaring large pieces of fish out of the water, and then falling back to the surface like rain.

In fact, there are a lot of fish in this river, but they hide during the day and only come out to move around at night. However, at night, the tribesmen will fall asleep.

Although there are fishing nets, people and fish habits are in conflict with each other in time, and it is difficult for people to catch enough fish.

Li Yan stood by the river, looking at the jubilant fish in the river, he felt very excited.

There are a lot of big fish here. Big fish weighing hundreds of catties can be seen everywhere, but the bigger fish are more cunning. They only come out to look for food at night, and the tribesmen rarely catch big fish over a meter level.

But Li Yan believed that with his fish dam stuck in the mouth of the river and these bloody and thick baits, he would definitely be able to catch those rice-sized fish.

After a while, he nailed a wooden stake in the middle of the fish dam, and then tied the bait to the wooden stake, making sure it was all submerged in the water, otherwise some birds would be attracted to take the bait away.

After putting in the bait, he was still a little uneasy, and went into the water to see if there were any omissions in the dam. After making sure that there was no problem, he returned to the tribe with his people.

Another night passed.

He got up at dawn, and ran to wake the five men.

However, two men said that it was not yet dawn and they were unwilling to go. Li Yan was a little strange and thought they were tired, so he didn't say much.

He took the remaining three men to the fish dam with stone and wooden sticks, fishing nets, harpoons, wooden spears, and ropes. He saw a lot of big fish in the river last night, so he must be prepared to deal with big fish this time. preparation.

Soon, they came to that section of the river, and when they arrived, they heard several loud explosions in the dam.

Li Yan looked at the mouth of the dam, and saw that the wooden stakes there were a little crooked, it seemed that the opening was too small, but it didn't prevent those big fish from entering the trap.

Li Yan hurriedly found the wooden door with his clansmen on the bank.

Carefully ground the water, place the wooden door on the inside of the dam mouth, and then block it.

In this way, the big fish inside will be trapped in this ten-meter-long river section.

The net that was brought was very large, wider than the width of the river.

Four people are divided into two teams.

Two people, one holding a net horn to pull the net, while Li Yan and another clansman held sticks tied with stones and wood, and brought harpoons and spears, and guarded the outside of the wooden fence on the other side.

The clansmen pulling the net came back little by little, and the movement inside the fish dam became more and more loud. The wooden fence on Li Yan's side was hit by big fish many times, causing water to splash and wet them all. .

As the fishing net gradually closed, the fish inside struggled more and more, and some fish even jumped out of the fishing net, but they were still in the fish dam.

And Li Yan was not idle here, because some powerful big fish would jump out of the wooden fence, so they took sticks tied with rocks and wood, like playing baseball, and beat the big fish back into the dam one by one, even As soon as some big fish came close to the wooden fence, they killed the fish immediately.

The power of the stick tied with stone and wood is quite impressive. Basically, a big fish can be stunned with one blow, and even if it is not dead, it will be crippled.

The fishing net was closed, and the fish in the net struggled violently.

There were too many fish, especially rice-level big fish, which were very strong. They were worried that the fish net would be broken by the big fish, so they didn't dare to pull the net hard. Therefore, Li Yan and another member of the clan ran to the side of the fishing net, separated by Fishing with a fishing net, knocking out the big fish inside.

Finally, the net fish was finally salvaged.

There are more than a dozen rice-level fish alone. These rice-level fish are catfish, and each weighs more than [-] catties.

There were still several stunned fish floating in the fish dam, so they picked them up again.

There was a fish that slipped through the net just now, Li Yan and the others salvaged it twice, and got more than ten big fish.

They were very happy. This was the biggest catch in the history of the tribe, and it was worth hundreds of catties of fish.

Several clansmen were skewering fish by the river, while Li Yan went to overhaul the fish dam.

However, when he stepped into the water, he saw a huge water animal head at the mouth of the dam, which shocked him greatly.
