Ancient wasteland

Chapter 59 Fishing Nets

The concrete road between the tribe and the round kiln has been repaired, and the ox carts pulled by the moo beasts are going back and forth on the road, transporting bricks at a very fast speed.

When these moo beasts are directly carrying things, they can carry about a thousand catties, pulling an ox cart with two round wheels!

In addition, the concrete road surface is smooth and the resistance between the wheels and the wheels is very small, and it can move slowly and slowly, and it can pull two tons of bricks.

This greatly improves work efficiency. In the past, when they transported bricks, they relied on manpower, and each basket could only hold two hundred catties.

Moreover, the road surface is not good. It is uphill from the back of the round kiln to the tribe. Two times of going back and forth can make people feel weak and uncomfortable.

So the pottery team was the happiest when this road was paved. Mu looked at the concrete road in front of him and smiled, "This road is really well paved."

She can still run barefoot on it without being crushed by all kinds of gravel, and her face is full of longing, "It would be great if they could be cultivated like this.

Can this kind of road be built in our tribe, Jing, if the roads in the tribe are built like this, the tribe must be very clean.

Even if it rains, I am not afraid, and the water will not gradually cover the soil, and the road looks very smooth, which is really beautiful. "

Jing Zhu nodded slightly, "It will be built like this, and I will start to build it when I find river sand nearby. It just so happens that the tribe is very busy recently."

He turned his head to go to the sacrificial cave, where the wild and mountains were there. Seeing that the weather was getting hotter, even the sacrificial priests put on light blue linen clothes.

Putting those thick furs into the box, Jing Que walked over, sat down beside Ye Ye and poured himself a glass of water, "Go to the Water Tribe tomorrow.

I will go with Ye, he will fly faster, and when you lead a hunting team to hunt, try to catch alive, like moo beasts and bleating beasts.

These can be captured and raised, and when the land by the lake is opened for planting, the moo beasts can be used to pull carts to transport food..."

Although the food hasn't been grown yet, isn't it hot now? Since the meat can't be stored, it's best to catch it alive and raise it.

Even if it can't be domesticated to pull a cart and shear its fur, it can still be slaughtered and eaten when food is scarce. Shan thinks this idea is very good, "OK!"

Jing Que smiled slightly, "The hunting team and the gathering team will have some people come out, follow Mu Duo to burn bricks and cement, and wait for me to find the river sand.

Let's start building the house. When the house is built, the safety factor of the tribe will be much higher when the fence is built, and we are not afraid of the cold season! "

The priest looked at him with satisfaction, "Okay."

When the pavement outside the tribe was carved like a huge boulder, when it was just paved, the priest seemed to see a miracle.

It was unbelievable, when he was young, he had traveled to many places, and he had seen tribes larger than the Great River Tribe.

But they have never seen such a smooth and smooth road surface. It seems that it is a treasure bestowed by God, which cannot be done by human beings at all.

He believed that the construction of the houses and walls that Jing said would make their tribe safe.

The priest was so shocked by the road outside the tribe that he couldn't sleep at night, staring at Jing Que all day, trying to see some clues from him.

How does the legendary super tribe exist? !

Jing Que, "...?!" How would I know?Anyway, it is impossible to be as big as their country.

Jing Que decided to go to the Water Tribe. Since it is a friendly establishment of diplomatic relations, it is natural to show their sincerity. The best way is naturally to give gifts.

He thought about it for a while, the gift to the Water Tribe included two rolls of spun hemp twine and many nails cut from green branches.

They are all materials that can be used to make fishing tools, thinking that since the Water Tribe relies on fishing for a living, wouldn't it be good for him to teach them how to fish?

When they fished with the method he taught, he offered to dig some river sand from their tribe and take them away. Could they still refuse? !

Jing Yu thinks this idea is great!

With his things, he set out to the Water Tribe with Ye. There was a lake between the Water Tribe and their tribe. Ye took him around the lake twice.

Find the narrowest part of the lake and record it on the map. If you find sediment in the future and transport it to the tribe, you have to rely on boats to transport it.

After crossing the lake, there are traces of human activities along the shore, and as Ye said, there are rivers irrigating the lake.

As soon as they arrived, there was gurgling water, the width of the river was not narrow, and the water was rolling and splashing white and transparent waves.

What pleased Jing Zhu the most was that the river bank was exactly as he had guessed twice, covered with yellow-brown river sand, which looked very nice!

Continuing to go up along the trace, Jing Que saw someone spearing a fish in the river, staring at the fish with a sharpened branch, and noticed the shadow above his head.

When he looked up and saw Ye, his face was filled with horror, the harpoon in his hand fell off in fright, he stumbled and fell to the ground, and he got up and was about to run.

Jing Que, "...Is it that scary, Ye, stop him!"

Ye waved his wings and hovered in front of the man. When he saw the monster that just appeared in the air and stopped in front of him, the man gave a strange cry.

Turning around and running in the opposite direction with a face full of terror, not even noticing that the fish in his hand was scared away, Jing Que hurriedly shouted, "Don't run!

We are from the mountain tribe on the opposite side. I came to your tribe to find your patriarch. He is a beast warrior, and he will not eat you unless he is a monster! "

The man turned a deaf ear and continued to roll and crawl, running fast.

Ye turned into a human form, picked up the longbow, raised his hand and shot an arrow at his feet, "If you dare to run again, the arrow will fall on you. How fast can you run?"

Seeing the man stop tremblingly, Jing Que trotted over with his straw hat on, and said as gently as possible, "My name is Jing, what's your name?"

The man who fell on the ground was so frightened that his face paled, trembling and speechless, Jing Qu frowned, "Why is he so timid?"

They all made it clear that they belonged to the Mountain Tribe, and the two tribes were not far apart, and they might meet occasionally when hunting.

It is also a small tribe by the lake, but it is not a scourge, so how can it be so scary?Are their tribes so fierce? !

Ye put on his clothes and pursed his lips, "Shui tribes are all like this. They have no fighters, they are weak in combat and can't hunt, and they are very timid."

Jing Que, "So, I like the river sand in their tribe. If I want it, I can just dig it. They don't dare to resist?!"

Ye Ye looked at the little man lying on the ground trembling with fright, nodded slightly, "Yeah."

Jing Que, "..." Fortunately, he was knocked out by the wild and carried back to the Dashan Tribe.

If this falls into the Water Tribe, why do you want to develop? !With such a temperament that dare not resist when he is robbed and beaten, he must not be aggrieved to death!

He shook his head, raised his gentle and harmless smile again, smiled and looked at the trembling man on the ground, "I want to meet the priest of your tribe.

You take us back to the tribe to meet the patriarch and the priest, you take me back and I will give you a piece of meat as a thank you gift, if you don't obey, let him eat you! "

The man on the ground suddenly looked at them with horror on his face, "I... I'll take you back... You... don't eat me, I don't taste good."

Jing Zhu nodded, "Then hurry up, I won't let him eat you if you are obedient."

When he got up from the ground and walked towards the Water Tribe, Ye Ye looked at Jing He with a serious expression, "I don't eat people."

Ye repeated seriously, "Our tribe doesn't eat people."

Jing Que smiled, "Of course I know, I was scaring him, who made him obedient because of his timidity, who would eat people!"

After speaking, I felt that Ye's eyes were a little strange, "What's wrong?"

Ye pursed his lips, "Some tribes have no food in the cold season, so they will eat old people, children, or wounded warriors as food."

Jing Que was full of surprise in his heart, "Why..."

He quickly realized that this was not his original world, it was in a wild stage, and it was very common for people to drink blood and eat people.

Immediately, there was a chill behind his back, and he felt a gloomy feeling of fear after a while.

If the time and place he traveled here were wrong, and he fell near the cannibal tribe in the cold season, would he have been eaten as food long ago.

Thinking about that kind of scene made him feel hairy in the heart, cold all over his body, and shivered under the vicious sunlight.

Ye Ye saw that he was frightened, so he hurried over and put his hand on his shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Jing Que felt a little relieved, and nodded with a smile, "Let's go, let's meet the priest and patriarch of the Water Tribe."

The Water Tribe is slightly smaller than theirs, and they don't live entirely in caves. They are a semi-tavern tribe.

…that is, caves are dug on the ground or at the foot of the mountain to live in, and sheds are built with trees and thatch outside to avoid rain, water and sunlight.

Jing Que followed the people they threatened to lead into the tribe, and when they saw them passing by, the people in the tribe hid in their caves one after another.

Some people even pulled the thatch to cover themselves, trying to hide Jing Zhuo and the others. They were really cowardly and fearful to the extreme.

Jing Que was a little helpless, so he had to keep his eyes straight and pretend not to see, and then walked into the shed of the chief of the Shui tribe.

There are no sacrifices in the water tribe, which is the fundamental reason why their tribe has no warriors. Their patriarch is a strong woman.

Of course, this robustness is relative. It has no comparison with Shan's real robustness, and even looks a little thinner compared with Bei.

Fortunately, it looked generous and able to communicate with them normally, "I heard that you are warriors from the mountain tribe across the lake.

The two came to our Water Tribe specially through the lake. Is there something wrong? "

Jing Que and Ye looked at each other, and put down the idea of ​​directly sending someone over to dig the river sand.

Although it looked like this, even if someone robbed them of food, the Water Tribe would not dare to resist, let alone dig up river sand that was useless to them.

... But the Dashan tribe was originally small in number, and now they are busy hunting and domesticating prey, burning bricks and cement, paving roads and building houses.

Jing Que wished he could produce a hundred or so people out of thin air for his use, but he really couldn't find enough people to come to the water tribe to dig river sand.

He smiled slightly, "My name is Jing, and I am a candidate for sacrifice in the Dashan tribe, and this is Ye, the most powerful warrior in our tribe.

The reason why we came to the Water Tribe is very simple. We want to dig some river sand from the riverside of your tribe. River sand refers to the fine particles on the riverside.

It is very similar to soil, but things that cannot store water, I call them river sand. "

Hearing that they didn't come to trouble them, the chief of the Water Tribe was a little relieved, Hesha and his tribe had a lot of riversides.

The mountain tribe people wanted them to dig, but they said, "It is possible to dig, but I have a doubt, can you tell me?

There is a lake between your tribe and our tribe, how are you going to bring the river sand back from our tribe? "

Jing Qu smiled and looked at her, "This is what I'm here to tell you, I can teach you how to build boats and better fishing tools.

Use these to exchange the river sand in your tribe. If you want to help us transport the river sand, our tribe will pay you, such as meat or salt and other things you need. "

The head of the Water Tribe's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief, "You said you would teach us how to make fishing tools?!

You will make better fishing tools, what kind of tools, how many fish can you catch, can you show me? "

…Did you misunderstand the important point? The key point is the boat. If you have a fishing boat, you can go fishing in the middle of the river or in the lake.

Isn't it faster than you can catch fish by poking with a harpoon on the shore, or just throwing the net directly on the shore? !

It seems that the Water Tribe has no knowledge or concept of boats yet, Jing Que smiled and nodded, "Of course, let's go to the riverside and I will show you."

He specially brought a lot of hemp rope and twine from the tribe, put them in a pocket of cotton leaves, dragged the twine out of the pocket and put it on the river bank, and weaved the twine into a fishing net in front of the chief of the water tribe.

He explained with a smile, "This is called a fishing net. The way to use it is to throw it into the water where there are fish, and wait until the fish run into the net before closing it up."

As he spoke, he walked to a place where a depression was washed out and the river was relatively gentle, and he threw the fishing net into the water, waited quietly for more than ten minutes, and then put the fishing net away.

There were a lot of fish in it, and when I pulled in the net, I finally sensed the danger, and struggled in various ways in the water, it was a bit heavy, and Jing Que almost didn't pull it.

Ye Ye walked over calmly and helped him pull the fishing net out of the water. When the fishing net was pulled out of the water, the aqua chief's eyes almost popped out.

I was so excited that I even stumbled, "Okay... so many fish! This fishing net is really useful!"

She was smart enough not to be fascinated by the fish in the net, but stared at the net in Jing Que's hand, "Give us this net.

I'll let the people in the tribe dig river sand for you, and I'll let them dig as much as you need! "

Jing Qu slightly raised his eyebrows, and threw the fishing net and the fish in it to the ground, "Deal!"

The patriarch of the Water Tribe immediately smiled, and called for people to come out to get the fishing nets and fish, "I'll let them make grilled fish for you to eat.

Tell me again, what is the boat you mentioned just now? Is it also a fishing tool? "

Jing Qu smiled and nodded at her, it is always a pleasure to deal with smart people, "It is a tool that can walk on water.

If you have fishing boats, you can go fishing in rivers and lakes, and the harvest will definitely be much more. You can ask people to prepare some strong planks.

I'll make it for you to see, and you can understand it after you make it. "

The patriarch of the Water Tribe immediately arranged for some people to cook grilled fish, and the rest to prepare wood, and took Jing Que and the others back to the tribe to ask questions about the fishing boats.

Jing Qu followed her back, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw neatly growing plants beside him, hey, this...is it cabbage? !

He walked over slowly and wanted to take a closer look. The chief of the Water Tribe explained to him with a smile, "This is a wild vegetable we grow. It tastes very good. I'll ask them to make it for you to try."

Their tribe can't hunt well, and they don't get much from fishing. They all rely on the wild vegetables they grow. This is an exclusive secret in their tribe.

But Jing, from the mountain tribe, was willing to teach them how to make new fishing tools. She felt that it was okay to tell him something appropriate. Anyway, the tribes that can hunt prefer meat to wild vegetables.

Jing Que was a little surprised, this is really cabbage, although it seems that it is still a little small and has not grown into a big one, but Jing Que has grown cabbage.

Naturally, I recognized the appearance of cabbage when I was a child, which was really an unexpected surprise, "Do you have any seeds for the vegetable you planted? Give me some."

Now it was the turn of the water tribe chief to be surprised, "How do you know that this wild vegetable has seeds? Does your tribe grow wild vegetables too?!"
