Prehistoric Woman Age

    "Crash-"

    When everyone's eyes were focused on the fragrant grilled fish, Abu picked up the fishing rod again. With the sound of water splashes like the sound of nature, a big fish more than one meter long was dragged out of the water and struggled with its tail.

    Da'er, who was closest to him, was splashed with water on his face, turned his eyes a little unhappily, and was immediately replaced by an ecstatic expression: "Ha! Kong Kong, we caught it again. A big fish—what a big fish!"

    An Er's face also showed a happy smile. The little kitten fish with a big slap in her hand, Da'er and Kong Kong, the two children, are staring at them, and she is worrying about how to tell them apart. Okay now, clean up this big fish, everyone has a snack for noon!

    After coming to the Atayal tribe, An'er has been trying to adapt to the environment here and changing some customs of the tribe step by step. However, although there is enough food now, the Atayal people are still insisting on the habit of two meals a day. They were always shrouded in the shadow of hunger before, and they hated all the wasting of food.

    Atayal people think that the noon snack is a pure waste, so after An'er tried several times to no avail, she had to let it go. However, the man in her family is still pretty good. Knowing that she has the habit of having a second meal at noon, when hunting, he tried every means to help her get some wild fruits and let her eat it at noon. She would also cook some vegetables occasionally to eat. Fortunately, it was not easy to get hungry after eating meat, and she was able to persevere gradually.

    However, from the perspective of modern people, three meals a day is more scientific. An'er still did not give up the idea of ​​changing the eating habits of the tribesmen, and planned to wait for the food to be planted in the future. After the livestock breeding has also expanded, let's take it slowly!

    After cleaning up the big fish, An'er threw the internal organs and gills into the river. At this time, only the bamboo rafts of them and the Asang family were left on the river, floating slowly on the water. The other clansmen had already run to the front on the bamboo raft, and only their backs were left on the river.

    "Yes, yes! The patriarch is amazing! Kong Kong, let's do our best!" Asang sat cross-legged on the bamboo raft. Looking at the big fish in An'er's hand, she thought about how much she could get. Seeing that the fish in the patriarch's hands repeatedly took the bait, his heart was itching. He grabbed the fishing rod in Kong Kong's hand and ran to the end of the bamboo raft to fish.

    An'er divided the big fish into several pieces and smoked them on the charcoal fire, rubbing some salt and chili powder on it from time to time. The grilled catfish had already been taken by Dar and shared with Kong Kong with brotherly love. Such a small fish. It wasn't enough for two greedy cats to stick between their teeth, but instead aroused the greedy worms in their stomachs.

    Kongkong pulled out, hooked the bamboo raft where An'er and the others were with hooks, and made the two rafts stick together tightly. He took a bunch of fish in his hand. Licking his face, he said, "An'er, I'll bake for you!"

    A Sang stared at the surface of the water intently, Ji smiled and said, "Kong Kong. Don't forget the share of Palba!"

    "No! Baba, don't worry, I'll eat it for you!" Kong Kong flipped the fish skewer in his hands, earnestly. The adults on the two boats burst into laughter.

    "Hey! Hey! Patriarch. Don't be proud, my old Sang also caught one!" A Sang's proud voice came.

    "Really? Asang Baba. Or are you amazing..." Kong Kong looked over excitedly, and his excited voice stopped abruptly. It turned out that the fish that Ah Sang caught was not half as big as the first one caught by the patriarch. Such a small fish has thorns in the mouth, no one likes to eat it! Kong Kong squatted down in disappointment, and continued to salivate at the half-cooked fish in his hands.

    Taking a bunch of grilled fish from An'er, Ming squatted on the edge of the bamboo raft, tasting the delicious grilled fish while looking at the slowly flowing river.

    Because of his thin body since childhood, Ming has never left the tribe except gathering grass seeds, fruits and herbs around the tribe, let alone set foot on the way to the market like now. He touched the bamboo raft under him, and was once again conquered by An'er's whimsy.

    Chopping a few bamboos and tying them with rattan and hemp ropes, it can float smoothly on the water, and can restrain several people and so many prey. Ting Abu said that they floated on the water for a day, and if the road they walked on land, they would have to walk for at least two or three days! Traveling on a bamboo raft saves time and effort. As expected, she was the goddess sent by the gods to save Atayal. Anything you make at random can be of such great use!

    This fair and slender youth, with a slight smile on the corners of his mouth, his eyes drifting along the river to the distance, suddenly—

    "Abu, what is that!" Ming pointed to a piece of dead wood floating over from the river bank, faintly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he couldn't help asking aloud.

    A-Sang, who was also sitting at the end of the bamboo raft, took the lead to look in the direction of his fingers, only glanced at him and then moved his eyes to his fishing hook, and said nonchalantly: "Ming, you To my surprise, I thought you saw something, isn't it just a piece of bark floating on the water!"

    Abu had put away the fishing rod, sat beside An'er, touched her little hand, and found that it was not so cold, so he was relieved. Hearing Ming's voice, he glanced at him lightly, just like Ah Sang, he didn't take it to heart.

    An'er took a few more glances, and her intuition told her that the thing that looked like old bark was not that simple. She closed her eyes gently, then opened it and looked at the "bark", her heart suddenly burst!

     Meow! What was that, and why did she see the red dot on the bark representing the central nervous system of the living body, and it flashed so violently! Experience has shown that the stronger the red dot flashes, the stronger the animal's vital signs and the harder it is to deal with. The red spots on this old bark were almost comparable to the Spinosaurus she had seen. In other words, this guy's ferocity is comparable to that of carnivorous dinosaurs?

    "Everyone be careful! Abu, Asang, Ji! Take the crossbow! Da'er, Kongkong, come to me! Quick!" An'er threw the animal skin on her body. , grabbed Dar'er, who was nibbling on the tender meat on the belly of the fish, and Kong Kong, who was confused, with a solemn expression on his face.

    A Bu and A Sang were stunned for a while, looked at each other, and asked in confusion, "Ann, what did you notice? Will there be danger on the water?"

    Seeing that the three big men didn't move, An'er said anxiously, "Look at that big bark! It was drifting along the water. What about the bark? Not only did it not float down, but it quickly approached our bamboo raft. What does this mean? It means that it is not bark at all, but a living creature , a huge, living creature that lives in water!"

    Abu's face changed, he thought of what he had said when he was there, when he led his clan to hunt by the river, he saw a huge water monster with his mouth open The saber-toothed tiger drinking by the river was pulled down. The saber-toothed tiger, which weighed at least five or six hundred pounds, was the monster's opponent in the water, and it became the monster's belly Chinese meal without a few tossing.

    Baba also warned him again and again not to go to the river to play in the water, if you encounter something that looks like a dead tree and floats on the water, you should avoid it, maybe it is The monster!

    "Ming, Ji! You two support the bamboo raft, as fast as you can! Ah Sang, prepare your weapons, there will be a hard fight later!" The mantis bone knife was placed at his feet, holding the strong crossbow tightly in his hand, staring motionless at the piece of dead wood that was drifting closer and closer.

    Seeing Abu and An'er's expressions are so serious, several others seem to realize the seriousness of the situation. Several big men methodically followed the instructions of the patriarch and did their job well.

    Ming's heart clenched tightly, he clenched the bamboo pole in his hand, and pushed it hard towards the silt at the bottom of the river. Fortunately, it is now the dry season, and the source of the Biqing River has entered the freezing season. After a clear autumn, the water level has dropped a lot, and the water source has gradually reduced. The water level at this time is suitable for bamboo rafts. If it is rainy in summer, I am afraid that the length of the bamboo poles will not reach the bottom of the river.

    An'er held the two children in her arms, her eyes locked tightly on that strange living body, and her heart was never let go.

    Although the bamboo raft is fast, the speed of the "dead wood" is faster, and the target is very clear, chasing straight towards the people on the bamboo raft.

    As a warrior of the hunting team, Ji has excellent physical strength and endurance. However, Ming's strength was gradually exhausted in the pole, and his movements became slower and slower. The bamboo pole in his hand seemed to be extremely heavy. , the veins on his neck burst out, and his face rose like a ripe peach, red all the way to his neck.

    An'er looked at him with some worry, seeing this thin young man, already exhausted to the extreme, still supporting himself. She looked at the approaching giant beast, sighed softly, and said, "Ming, stop! Fighting is inevitable, you still squat down like something, hold the bamboo raft with your hands, and hand over the danger to our warriors. Bar!"

     Ming gritted his teeth, stood up straight, stubbornly continued to support his pole. Abu also found that he was exhausted, so he hurriedly tore the bamboo pole from his hand and shouted, "Squat down beside Ann, they need you!"

    Ming dawdled beside An'er dejectedly, and paused slowly. This gentle boy, with tears in his eyes, said sadly, "An, I... am I very useless?"

    An turned his gaze from the dead wood to Ming's face, shook his head firmly and slowly, and said, "No! Ming is an excellent witch doctor, and he never flinched in the face of danger. Ming, you are very good! Your speed on the bamboo raft has caught up with Ji, how can you say that you are useless? This monster's speed is too perverted! Here, your strong crossbow will be full of strength for a while Shoot it a few more arrows!"
