"Chief, what are you doing?"

Hearing Bai Tian's voice, the patriarch turned around and smiled triumphantly: "Bai Tian, ​​I thought of a good way to catch fish."

"You see, fish want to eat meat. I tie the meat to a vine and then lower it down for the fish to eat. When the fish bites the meat, I pull it up. Isn't that how I catch the fish?"

Although he had expected it, Bai Tian's cheeks couldn't help but twitch when he heard this.

The fishermen showed up so early, and the first fisherman was actually the clan leader, a woman!

Bai Tian swallowed his throat and kindly reminded: "Chief, the fish has bitten the meat. When you pull it up, won't it let go?"

The patriarch was startled. "Yes, that's a real problem... But if I lift it up faster, won't it be able to escape?"

Um? ?

These words left Bai Tian speechless, because what she said was right!

Kamu took over the conversation: "Chief, we saw prey. A flock of sheep, but they ran very fast and we missed them."

The patriarch was delighted: "Great! This way, we won't be so afraid of starving to death... Ouch, it's moving!"

As he spoke, the patriarch quickly swung up the long wooden stick.

What surprised Bai Tian was that she actually caught a fish!

The fish wasn't very big, and perhaps the chief pulled too fast, causing it to fly into the air before releasing its grip on the vine. As luck would have it, the fish landed on the shore.

The patriarch was now excited, and the people around him also became lively.

His face turned dark during the day. He must be a natural fisherman. He hit the target on the first try!

For a long time afterwards, the tribes migrated very slowly.

The clan leader was obsessed with fishing and spent her days researching how to fish better. She even figured out how to make ropes out of beef tendons and fish hooks out of bones.

I don’t know if the resources of this river are really rich, but the patriarch often catches fish.

In addition to fishing, some people in the tribe began to think about driving the fish to a small place and then catching them.

Of course, most people's minds are still on hunting, especially strong men like Kamu.

In short, the survival pressure of the Lai Ri tribe has been reduced. There are fish, prey, and wild fruits and vegetables by the river.

During the day, I vaguely felt that the tribe's living habits were changing...

The peaceful days did not last long as the rainy season arrived.

Rain is a very bad thing for the tribe, especially since the Lai Ri tribe is still on the migration.

After the rain, the river level rose and the tribe was forced to move into the mountains to build houses.

After the rain, hunting becomes difficult, and even raising animals becomes difficult.

After the rain, the temperature in the mountains and forests dropped and making fire became a problem.

This was also the biggest worry before daytime. When they started migrating, it was spring, and it was very likely to rain...

On the third day of rain, the migrating tribe suffered a blow: the picking team encountered a wild beast and two people were eaten.

To make matters worse, on the same day, a hunting party also encountered a wild beast, and two people were seriously injured and died...

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the entire tribe became more solemn.

In the evening, it drizzled.

During the day, I sat in the leaky straw hut with the tribe leader and others, and everyone looked unhappy.

One day, four people were lost, two men and two women. This was a huge blow to the tribe.

The patriarch gave the roasted meat to Bai Tian and whispered, "Brother Bai Tian, ​​we have to find a way."

Bai Tian accepted the meat but didn't eat it. Instead, she handed it to Naixi, who was still trembling beside her. Today, Naixi followed the picking team out and encountered a wild beast. She saw two of her tribesmen being eaten with her own eyes. She is still afraid now.

Bai Tian whispered, "I expected this when I came out. I would definitely run into these troubles."

The chief nodded: "I know this. The sky is leaking now, so hunting is inconvenient. I just don't know how long it will last."

They call rain the sky leaking...

This rain will continue for a long time. Judging from the daytime, it is the plum rain season, which will last for more than half a month!

However, we cannot just sit there and wait for death. The tribe needs confidence at this time, otherwise it will soon be washed away by the rain.

After thinking it over, Bai Tian whispered, "Chief, this is my plan. Starting tomorrow, the picking team will set out together with the hunting team. The hunters will hunt, and the pickers will pick. Don't stray too far from each other. Then, leave more people here to guard."

The patriarch pondered: "If that happens, the food we get each day will be reduced..."

"But it will be safer, at least we should do this during the rain." Bai Tian said seriously.

The patriarch thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Bai Tian continued, "Also, we need to change the way we hunt. We can't just keep chasing prey like before. When it rains, there are fewer prey, and chasing them becomes even harder."

Kamu was stunned: "What should we do then?"

Bai Tian sighed and explained, "We can dig holes and make traps..."

Even now, the people of the Lairi tribe still don't know how to set traps. They hunt recklessly, rushing forward when they see their prey.

This hunting method is indeed effective in normal times, but during rainy days, rushing is very dangerous.

"Dig a hole, put wood in it, and cover it with a layer of grass and branches. If the prey falls in, it won't be able to get out..."

"Also, we can make ropes out of vines and bark and attach them to trees. If prey accidentally touches the rope, the rope will tighten and we can catch the prey."

As the story unfolded during the day, everyone was shocked.

They had never thought that hunting could be done this way...

So the next day, he followed the team to go hunting during the day, and Naixi also went to pick fruits.

Originally, he had thought of digging a large pit to set up a trap during the day, but he soon realized that this would not work because digging a pit requires tools. Using only wood would take too long to dig a pit.

The most reliable method is to weave vines into ropes, then make a bungee trap and place it in the path of the prey. After chasing the prey, take advantage of the bungee to kill it quickly while it is strangled by the bungee.

Because the prey here are very ferocious, ordinary traps cannot trap the prey for a long time.

At this time, Bai Tian and Kamu were busy peeling tree bark and weaving ropes.

Naixi ran over quickly from a distance. Daytime thought she had encountered a ferocious beast, so she hurriedly dropped the rope and ran towards it.

"Daddy, daddy, sheep, lots of sheep!"

Hearing her scream, the worry that had been hanging in my heart all day was relieved.

Naixi jumped up to him excitedly and pointed in the distance: "There are a lot of sheep over there, red sheep, very big."

Red sheep?

From my impression during the day, most of the sheep killed by the Lai Ri tribe were black, a few were brown, and there were very few white sheep. How could there be red sheep?

In any case, sheep are the best prey because they are not as aggressive as cattle.

Bai Tian, ​​Kamu, and the others sped up their weaving, and then, along with the picking team, they cautiously approached the flock of sheep that Naixi had mentioned...
