Original War

Chapter 13 Fight!

The weather is indeed sunny today.

The river is also very calm, very quiet, and there is no wind. The water on the bank of the river will wash the shallows with waves a few days ago, but today, this is not the case.

It’s too calm, a bit weird.

The river is not clear, and the shallows are okay. One meter further away, you can’t see the underwater situation in a slightly deeper place.

In such a crisis-ridden world that cannot be justified by common sense, one cannot underestimate any detail, and neglect is death. What’s more, this river is regarded by the tribes as a high-risk zone like the black swamp. The smooth fishing in the past few days does not mean that it is safe.

Seeing Shao Xuan’s appearance, the originally enthusiastic child stopped the action in his hand in doubt and retreated. They are greedy and not clever, but they are not stupid. Everyone takes their lives. Besides, the events of this period gave them a lot of trust in Shao Xuan, and after retreating, they all looked at Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan stood on the bank, looking at the calm river in front of him, thinking.

The river is still calm, except for this, it’s not much different from usual. The water in the river did not change color, and nothing suspicious appeared.

Is it too suspicious?

Suddenly, white translucent creatures appeared in front of them. They were like upside-down shuttlecocks with many beard-like tentacles. Swim with the swing of the tentacles.

With the experience of the previous few times, Shao Xuan knew that this kind of situation would not happen for no reason, it should be that there are such creatures in the water, and this thing is still very dangerous.

Shao Xuan took the rope tied with the stone insect and threw it into the water. The place where the stone insect fell into the water was only two meters from the shore. After the stone insect fell into the water, Shao Xuan did not feel the violent pull of the piranha biting the bait through the rope.

The black lump floating on the water is shaking gently. If you don’t look carefully, you will only think that the stone worm below is struggling, but after fishing for a few days, Shao Xuan is very familiar with what it is like to be struggling with a stone worm. But the current fact is that the black mass on the water trembles slightly less than before, and there is a trend toward smaller tremors.

Shao Xuan pulled the straw rope back, and when he saw the stone worm, the little cubs who had been staring at this side surrounded him.

The stone worm was not bitten off, but the entire worm body turned white, shrunk a circle, still stiff, maintaining the twisted state when struggling underwater.

Putting the deformed stone worm on the ground, Shao Xuan tapped the back of the stone knife against the worm’s body slightly.

Click!

After a slight crisp sound, the stone worm broke, brittle and broken, completely without the soft body of a normal stone worm.

The cubs standing nearby looked in horror. If this is a person into the water, will it also become dry and hard and brittle?

No one dared to try, even dare not touch the water, and stayed far away.

Shao Xuan threw a few stone worms into the water again, the same situation each time, and after a few seconds of throwing it into a crispy worm, there was no fish biting the bait in the water for a long time.

“It’s either that fish are not interested in insect stems, or that there are no fish around today. Now there are terrible things in the water, and the fish may have all gone. The fish will probably not come back until the creatures leave.” Shao Xuan retracted the rope. , Said.

“Then… when will the fish come back?” a child asked. Now they are not at all afraid of the hideous-looking piranhas, but are looking forward to seeing them.

“I don’t know, let’s see it tomorrow.” Shao Xuan shook his head and briefly talked to the two warriors who were in charge of guarding the river bank, telling them not to let the tribesmen go into the water, leaving a bug stem for them to study.

“Go back, weave some more straw ropes, and use them next time.” Shao Xuan persuaded. The straw rope is not strong if it is not well-woven, and it will not work if it is used twice, so it consumes a lot of money. It was just a break today. Shao Xuan thought about letting them pull the grass and sit in the hole to weave the straw rope.

Although the sight of the stone worm made these little boys very scared, they were still unwilling to see more of them.

If you can fish normally today, how many fish will you have to catch? There must be four? If Caesar can dig more stone insects, they may catch more. For the sake of life, the arrest will not be made today. According to what A Xuan just said, I will come back tomorrow. But what if the same happens tomorrow? Houtian, big Houtian, can’t even fish anymore?

It’s scary to think about it!

The children in the cave were anxious, and they were absent-minded when they returned to the cave to weave straw ropes.

Shao Xuan sat at the entrance of the cave, basking in the sun, thinking about the kind of creature he “saw” just now, and thinking about the coming winter by the way.

On this day, many people who had gone to fish on the banks of the river were driven back by the guards.

People living near the foot of the mountain discovered a few days ago that the children who lived in the cave who usually ate and slept, and rarely walked out of the cave and grabbed things everywhere, have become more diligent! Those children would go out every day, and they would not come back from the river bank until dinner time in the afternoon, and every time they came back, they would use straw ropes to pull back a series of weird bighead fishes with long arms and mouths full of teeth.

Some curious people followed and wanted to learn how to fish. But first, it was difficult for them to dig stone insects, and they couldn’t replace them with other things. They couldn’t catch fish by just throwing grass ropes; second, Even if you catch stone insects or use other alternatives, it is difficult to easily catch fish every time like Shao Xuan and the others. A few times they catch creatures that you don’t know what they are. Boss.

In the end, those people noticed that Shao Xuan used a black thing that would float on the water. Compared with Shao Xuan’s fishing equipment, they only had less fishing equipment. When you don’t use that thing, the harvest is really not ideal.

Shao Xuan analyzed the reason. It is probably that the piranhas do not like to move underwater. When the straw rope is tied with the bait and thrown in, they sink. The use of floating objects such as wood blocks is not long-lasting. The creatures are dragged down. Once the stone insects touch the bottom of the water and encounter the soil and sand in the ground, they will easily escape. The combination of these two factors leads to unsatisfactory results.

In the past few days, Shao Xuan asked Caesar to help catch some bugs in the Black Swamp, and made a lot of small black pieces. He used this person near the foot of the mountain to exchange some meat and fur. There was not much meat, so he distributed it to the cave on the day of the change. The children ate. As for the fur in exchange, even if it is not a good fur, it can make the coming winter a little better.

Therefore, in addition to these children in the cave, those near the foot of the mountain who did not go out hunting are also fishing. No one would think that there is not enough food. The winter season is about to come, not stocking more food, and my heart is not at ease.

But today everyone is disappointed.

Shao Xuan sighed as he looked at another group of people returning from the river with their heads drooping in the distance.

Suddenly, Caesar, who was lying next to him, stood up and stared in one direction.

Shao Xuan looked over.

There are a few big rocks about 20 meters away from the cave. If the weather is good on weekdays, children will lie on them to bask in the sun. Now that there is something to do, no one will go there anymore. At this moment, there was no one on the big rocks, but Shao Xuan was able to see the exposed corners of animal skins.

Even if it was a corner, Shao Xuan could recognize it. It was a game. He used to grab Shao Xuan’s things and was beaten to the ground by Shao Xuan in the training ground a few days ago. Generally speaking, the two boys Ye Hezhan will be followed by the game, but they are here again today.

The day before yesterday when Shao Xuan took Caesar to the edge of the Black Swamp to catch insects, the three of them blocked Shao Xuan on the gravel, trying to grab the small black piece that could float on the water. The two sides had a fight, only then. There was a child in the past, and the three of them quickly ran away. Today, the three of them probably didn’t give up, and they wanted to steal something from here.

They dare not grab the fish. The tribe has a rule not to grab food from the children in the cave, but other fishing tools are not included in the food.

Shao Xuan touched his chin, patted Caesar, let it wait for a while, then turned around and went into the hole.

“Little ones,” Shao Xuan said to the people in the cave. “Recently, everyone has performed well, and they have hunted a lot of prey. I’ll be hungry. But what if anyone wants to grab our stuff at this time?”

When I heard Shao Xuan’s voice, I thought I could go out fishing. The eyes of all the people who were stunned were bright, but when they heard that it was not, their eyes darkened again. However, after hearing the complete sentence, they just darkened. His eyes were replaced by anger.

robbing?

beat! !

Don’t grab fish but steal tools?

Tools are not good either! !

But what is “steal”? What, you steal it without telling it? Isn’t that the same thing as snatching? ! Hit it! !

Shao Xuan said that for these little boys, “eat” is the most beautiful and most beautiful word in the world, and food is the specific interpretation of this word. Whoever wants to grab their food is to move what they care about most, they Desperately with whom.

At this moment, I took the two of my classmates and hid behind the big rock outside the cave and discussed how to take a moment while the people in the cave didn’t pay attention to picking up some small black pieces and leave. He was positively suppressing his voice and spoke vigorously, and Caesar suddenly jumped from above. , Pounced on the three of them.

Suddenly, the three of them were startled and jumped away in reflex.

The dodge match was still in shock, holding the wooden stick in his hand, staring at Caesar, thinking that if the wolf took a step forward, he would swing the club.

Thinking too much, Sai didn’t pay attention to his surroundings until Ye Hezhan poked him.

“Poke what? I didn’t see me…”

Sai turned his head and yelled, but before the words were finished, Sai followed the direction pointed by Ye Hezhan, and saw more than 20 things standing at the entrance of the cave, holding wooden sticks and stones, and his eyes full of anger and fierce gleam. Staring here, boys.
