prehistoric modern man

Chapter 12 Fishing

Stepping on the soft moss, Ji Chi walked a little absent-mindedly.

In the distance, a huge red-haired rabbit took advantage of its size and rushed past Ji Chi wantonly.

Ji Chi regained his senses, drew his bow, and shot an arrow at the red-haired rabbit's quivering round tail.

With a "squeak", the red-haired rabbit's hind legs went limp, and it staggered and fell to the ground.

When Ji Chi passed by, it was swinging its two front legs violently, half lying and half moving, trying to get into the nearby grass. He pulled out the arrow, grabbed its two hind legs with his left hand, and continued to walk towards the direction of the rattan house.

The Fuji House is about 300 meters away from Yu Yu’s thatched hut. There are a lot of poria cocos within this distance, and there are also a lot of red-haired rabbits. However, they are very fast and alert to sounds. If there is no bow and arrow, even if they are not alarmed It's a bit difficult to catch.

Ji Chi only had this set of clothes. Once it was winter, he would have no clothes to wear, and the fur of the red-haired rabbit was short and thin, so it might not be able to keep out the cold in winter.He would hunt some more big game, and make clothes from their pelts before the cold weather.

Thinking of this, he recalled the beast he encountered for the first time. If he encountered such a situation again, the bow and arrow would be useless, and only the jackknife in his pocket could fight it.

He touched his left leg subconsciously, there was no trace of being bitten there, and this was not the effect of trauma medicine.

It is undeniable that this forest is indeed eccentric.

Ji Chi stopped and scanned around. There were so many trees that he couldn't see the end.He couldn't help guessing how big this forest was and what was outside the forest.

Maybe he can try to go out, on the premise that he can keep himself alive.

In the past, what he cared about was how to live, but now he only knows how to live.

Perhaps only such an almost greedy desire can keep him going.

The red-haired rabbit in his hand seemed to have exhausted all his strength, hanging in the air like a big lump of dead meat, without any further struggle.

Ji Chi shook his hand, but there was no movement, it was indeed a piece of dead meat.

He stopped a few steps away from the rattan house, found two big rocks, piled dry firewood, and started to clean up the red-haired rabbit that was pretending to be dead.

Although its fur is thin, it is soft and smooth, and it should be good for close-fitting clothes.

He hung the cleaned dark red fur on the branches, divided its meat into three pieces and roasted them separately, and then cut them into small pieces and spread them out on the rattan roof to dry.

Ji Chi ate a few pieces, but the meat was hard and might be hard to chew after drying.

In order to prevent birds from pecking, Ji Chi put a few branches with many branches on top of the barbecue.

After finishing this, he climbed down the tree, found a few soft and thin rattans from around, spent about an hour, weaved a net with a mesh size of about 3.5 cm, and then wrapped the edges, Leave a large section of rattan on both sides to close the mouth.

Although the net is not big, it is made of rattan and is not light in weight.Ji Chi's back was already wet with sweat when he walked to the river with it in his left hand.

There is only a seven or eight-year-old girl by the river. Ji Chi glanced at her. She has long hair, skinny bones, and looks severely malnourished. She is squatting on the bank at this time, holding a long branch in her hand , stirring the river once and for all.

Ji Chi walked downstream of her, took off his clothes and entered the river, cast the net in his hand on the water surface, watched it sink quickly, and sank to the bottom of the river, Ji Chi stopped moving, and waited for the startled fish to come back again. When they got together, they quietly caught the net, picked it up suddenly, and put it on the shore to see, there was nothing.

The little girl had been staring at him since he came, and she didn't move her position even though she was curious. Seeing him fish out the net, she finally put down the branch in her hand, walked over cautiously, and took a look with her head, as if she didn't see anything. Tilting his head, he took a step closer and studied it carefully.

Ji Chi pressed his tongue against his cheek and cast the net again.Using the same method, I finally caught a living creature, a small silvery white fish, just a little bigger than the mesh of the net.

Ji Chi threw the still jumping fish aside and cast the net again.The fish in the river usually go from upstream to downstream. Ji Chi thought for a while, and held the net mouth against the direction of the river in his hand. Sure enough, there were many fish that bumped into each other. It jumped out, but it was much better than before.

When more than a dozen fish came into the net, Ji Chi stopped his mouth, and the speed was very fast, but five or six fish jumped out when they saw the opportunity.

He put the fish he caught on the shore, glanced at the little girl next to him out of the corner of his eye, was taken aback, and looked over again, the fish that was supposed to be bouncing around on the ground was now in the little girl's mouth, Only the tail was exposed, and it flicked violently.

Seeing him looking over, the girl showed timidity in her eyes, slowly spit out the fish in her mouth, held it in her hand, and handed it in the direction of Ji Chi.

Ji Chi acted dumbfounded on the surface, but deep down he was inexplicably touched.

Withdrawing his thoughts in time, he continued to play with the fishing net, intending to catch again.

The girl watched his movements carefully, and saw that he didn't intend to return the fish, so she continued to hand it to her mouth, and started to chew from the side, looking at Ji Chi in the water while chewing.

The fourth time, perhaps with some experience, he caught more than a dozen fish at once. Ji Chi left three of the fish that fell on the ground before, and put the rest back into the net. Go in the direction of the hut.

Halfway there, Ji Chi heard a slight sound of running. Ji Chi turned his head and saw that the little girl was holding three live fish that were still bouncing around and ran towards the forest, shouting "Wu Nuo Wu Nuo" as she ran. .

Ji Chi didn't look away until the little girl's back disappeared.He was thinking about things in his mind, and he didn't come back until he was a few steps away from the hut, and noticed the strong burning smell in the air.

He looked up, and the burnt smell came from the pile of dry firewood under the thatched hut, or the black thing lying on the charcoal, which should be a piece of meat according to the smell.

Da La La, next to the open fire was eagerly trying to pick up the piece of meat with both hands.Noticing Ji Chi, Yu Yu Cemetery looked over, his eyes lit up, he raised his hand and kept pointing at the piece of meat he was most concerned about, whether it was edible or not, and motioned for Ji Chi to take it out for him.

Ji Chi paused, looked away from his face stained with black charcoal, lowered his head and put down the fishing net, picked up a piece of wood and pulled the black thing directly to the fire.

Yu Yu froze for a moment, raised his hand in the air, looked down at his own flesh, then at Ji Chi, blinked, and turned his head to the fishing net next to Ji Chi.

As soon as Ji Chi opened the net mouth, Yu Yu had already rushed over. He grabbed one fish and smelled it with great interest, and then grabbed another fish and licked it. Girls eat like that.

Ji Chi found a few twigs from around, took out the jackknife in his pocket and began to sharpen it. After two strokes, he paused, put away the jackknife and put it back in his pocket without saying a word.

He added some dry firewood to Yu Wu's previous fire, took out the fish in the net and began to clean the fish scales.While doing this, Youdao's eyes followed him all the time, Ji Chi didn't look up, and continued to do his own thing.

It wasn't until he skewered the packed fish on a branch and grilled it on top of the already-burning dry firewood that that line of sight was retracted. However, the line of sight changed to a hand touching his pocket.

Ji Chi paused, and before the hand touched him, he took out the knife and threw it to Yu Yu.

After Yu Yu happily took it, he began to look around. The knife was very light and small. He took out the knife hidden under the animal skin on his waist and compared it. After playing with it a few times, he seemed to be more satisfied with his knife. It was quickly forgotten by him.

Ji Chi put away the knife, took two fish in one hand, and roasted four fish together. When Yu Wu was turning over the charred meat and couldn't eat it, the smell of grilled fish gradually dissipated.

Yu Yu stopped, raised his nose and smelled it, then turned his head to the grilled fish in Ji Chi's hand, seemed to understand, put down the black charcoal in his hand, and quickly moved to Ji Chi's side.

Ji Chi shook his right shoulder, the pain was still there, he handed the two uncooked fish on his right hand to Yu Yu, and asked him to continue roasting.

It's just that when the fish in his hand was grilled, he had already eaten the two fish that Yu Wu took.

Out of more than ten fish, Ji Chi only ate three, and the rest went into Yu Wu's belly.

After dealing with the fire, it was getting late, and Ji Chi hadn't collected the meat on the rattan roof. He hung the fishing net on the branch next to the thatched house and walked towards the rattan house.

With a face full of black charcoal, Yu Yu followed Ji Chi curiously.

The tree where Fujiya is located is very secret. Of course, this is Ji Chi's own opinion. The people here have lived in the forest for a long time, and their observation ability of the environment is no worse than him.

After arriving at the place, Ji Chi pointed out the tree to Yu Wu, and Yu Wu walked along his line of sight suspiciously for a while, looked up, his eyes lit up, and saw it.Yu Yu raised his hand and pointed upwards, grinned at Ji Chi, and rushed up quickly.

Ji Chi grabbed the vine with his left hand, and climbed up the tree with his legs.

On the tree, Yu Yu was going back and forth into the rattan house with an excited expression on his face.

Ji Chi shook his left hand and looked at the meat on the roof first, but the branches were still there, but the meat was gone.
