After the crocodiles retreated, ye Xi cast his net several times. Seeing that the number of fish on the bank became scarce, he asked everyone to carry the casks and go back first.
There are four barrels of fish harvested this time, which is enough. There is no need to fish out.
The people happily carried the catch back to the top of the mountain, discussing whether to eat all the fish.
In fact, despite the fact that there are so many fish in four barrels, so many people in the tribe can eat them in one day. Not to mention the soldiers eat a lot of food, really open stomach to eat, maybe those ordinary people have not scored.
However, they are used to saving all food in rainy season. They only eat one meal a day, so as to avoid starvation in the late rainy season.
But the fish is not easy to preserve. The dead fish will go bad after a day or two. And now there is no sun, and the fish can''t be dried in the sun. They were reluctant to eat the piranha that had once been fished, but when they ate it again when it smelled off, they even had diarrhea and even got sick.
Hearing their discussion, ye Xi advised: "it''s better to eat all today''s fish, and tomorrow the fish will come again."
but there are still people who are frugal and hesitant.
Seeing their appearance, ye Xi laughed: "if you are really reluctant to eat them all, in this way, I have a way to save the fish."
"What is it?"
As soon as their eyes lit up, they asked eagerly.
Ye Xi always had a variety of ways to help the tribe solve a problem that could not be solved.
Up to now, they have no doubt about any proposal of Ye Xi, because no matter how strange the method seems, it can always achieve the goal in the end.
Ye Xi pointed to the stone jar placed in front of each stone house: "can''t you put the fish that can''t be eaten into the jar?"
These large water tanks have been full of water because of the continuous rain these days, and constantly overflow with the rain water falling into the tanks.
When ye Xi reminded them of this, they suddenly realized. Yes, fish will die when they are out of water. If you put them back in the water, it will be OK?
The reason why they didn''t think of it, of course, is that stupid is one reason. Another reason is that there were not so many fish harvested in the past, so we didn''t pay much attention to this problem.
Ye Xi saw that everyone was about to pour fish into the water tank when they were carrying the bucket. He reminded him, "don''t pour all the fish in. The big fish will eat all the small fish."
Don''t think that only piranhas eat meat. Most of the fish eat meat, from small fish to shrimp, from water bugs to the bodies of large animals.
Even if you are hungry, you can eat it.
Since we want to keep it in a tank, we should try our best to avoid the loss, so as to avoid the less fish. The best way is to get rid of the most powerful fish.
After ye Xi reminded him of this, people knew it.
Without Ye Xi''s help to judge, others can distinguish by themselves.
One by one, we can tell. The biggest fish will stay in the bucket directly. The smaller one will open its teeth to see its teeth. The fish with extremely sharp teeth will stay in the bucket.
The water in the stone jar was clear, and one fish after another was thrown into it.
Even if these fish are short of water for such a long time, they are still alive and kicking. If they are not careful, they will slide away from their hands. As soon as the water is put into the water, they will swing their tails and swim around actively.
These catches were mainly caught by Ye Xi. Of course, he got the most of them, almost half of them.
Originally, they wanted to help Ye Xi sort out the fish, but ye Xi stopped them: "no, there will be new fish caught tomorrow. The water tank is so big that we can''t raise them at that time. It''s better to eat them now and let us eat enough."
He thought that what ye Xi said was reasonable. Other people simply put aside their scruples and didn''t let their part of the fish into the water tank. They had a good time together.
Since then, ye Xi has been fishing in seven or eight nets every day. Because the number of times is more than one, the fish in the water will be scarce, and the next day, there will be more fish on the shore.
Over the past few days, more and more fish have been caught in the stone jar, and soon more and more fish are overflowing. There is no room for fish to swim inside. There are often fish hopping in the water and jumping out of the tank.
And every day there is a steady stream of fish coming up from the foot of the mountain.
The people of the tribe are very regretful, because there are more than 50 stone VATS in the tribe, but only about 20 have been moved up. If they knew that the stone VATS were so useful, they moved more.
Now there are so many fish, even if the people who save money can''t save any more.
If you don''t eat fish, it will be bad. If you have to, you can only have a good meal and change your pattern to eat fish every day. We eat grilled fish today, steamed fish tomorrow, fried fish in oil the day after tomorrow.
However, the fish here are really delicious. The meat is fresh and tender. There is a kind of fat yellow skin fish, which is especially delicious. It tastes so fresh that you can swallow your tongue, and there are few thorns. You don''t have to go to pick it.
Every day is a big meal of fish. Even though ye Xi loved to eat fish, he was tired of eating it later. Sometimes he changed his meat jerky to chew.But other people are not greasy at all. They still eat happily every day. Before they start eating, they are eager to wait. Moreover, they eat very clean every time, even the meat in the fish head is not let go.
Everyone said that the rainy season seems to have never been so tasteful. I can''t dream of being able to eat full suddenly without being hungry. I feel that my stomach is full of fat.
Even if you are stuck on the top of the mountain by the flood, you can''t go anywhere.
Sometimes the snails with beautiful shells are arrested and women are reluctant to throw them away. After eating the meat inside, they put the shells in the house.
Ye Xi saw that they were like this, so he said that they could string these large and small shells into wind chimes.
Women''s eyes brightened when they heard Ye Xi''s words.
Perhaps women have a natural instinct for beauty, and the wind chimes made later are very beautiful even in Ye Xi''s eyes.
In the daytime, the stone slabs are removed. When the wind blows into the house, the shells make a crisp sound, which is very pleasant to hear.
This shell wind chime is so good that the women discuss that if heize holds a trade fair next year, they can take it as their special commodity of Tu Shan, and then they can change something.
Day by day, with the continuous heavy rain, the water became deeper and deeper unconsciously.
On this day, people who went down the mountain to fish as usual found that the emperor crocodile group on the river suddenly disappeared, disappeared completely, and there was no one left.
Seeing this scene, the original smile followed the tribal chief, the smile disappeared.
The faces of the people became ugly.
The chief sighed, "the water is so deep."
I don''t know when, the water has flooded half of the jungle, a towering tree now only exposed the crown.
Ye Xi turned his head to see the chief.
The chief stares at the water surface, his face is very dignified: "such deep water, I''m afraid there is a big guy crawling out."
Just like this, suddenly appeared on the surface of the water a strong stir trace, there is a huge black figure flash past. The diameter of the water circle is very large, and it ripples around in circles.
"Now that even the crocodile has gone, it is obvious that there are more terrible monsters in the water, which make them all fear."
Although we were depressed, we couldn''t think of a way out. The day when we had a good meal came to an end, and we became thrifty again. Often lying beside the stone jar, counting the fish inside, but not willing to fish on one.
But Jiaojiao still wanted to go into the water.
Ye Xi worried about Jiaojiao and blocked it, but Jiaojiao was very firm and insisted on going into the water. Ye Xi had no choice but to believe it and let it go.
Fortunately, Jiaojiao can come back safely every time. When he comes back, his body will bulge out and he doesn''t know what he ate in the water.
Jiaojiao often brought back prey to Ye Xi.
There are all kinds of aquatic organisms, including strange creatures in the shape of mud like peeled skin, big black turtles that can spray water, and giant crabs that can even walk upright.
But as the water got deeper and deeper, Jiaojiao no longer came back intact. It gradually had scars.
In the most serious case, his whole body was covered with deep bite marks, and his flesh was cracked. The bite marks were especially deep near his head. If he was a little deeper, Jiaojiao would die.
The Jiaojiao stayed in the house for several days. After the injury was healed, the water at the foot of the mountain was deep again.
After a long hesitation, he finally returned to the top of the mountain.
**********
the top of the mountain.
Ye Xi stood on a boulder protruding from the cliff and looked into the distance.
The fierce wind mixed with rainstorm came incessantly. The bamboo hat on Ye Xi''s head was almost blown down. He had to press the brim tightly with his hands.
Jiaojiao accompanied Ye Xi. He coiled up his huge body, and the Python''s head stood up. His scarlet eyes followed Ye Xi''s vision and looked to the water ahead.
By this time the water had completely flooded the jungle.
Looking ahead, the vast waters, even the top of the tree can not be seen, the land has become a vast ocean. Only a mountain silent out of the water, like a vast sea of islands.
The gloomy sky darkened the water.
In the rainstorm, there are huge water animals leaping up from the dark water surface, splashing huge water spray; dark red giant aquatic insects, turning over the water, vaguely show ferocious limbs and tentacles.
Seeing what, ye Xi''s pupil suddenly shrinks.
I saw a water surface in the distance. I don''t know when, but a dark brown hill appeared!
He was sure that he had never seen the hill before! How did this hill come from? Is it some kind of creature? If so, what kind of creature is it? Is it aggressive? Too big!
At this time, suddenly came from the feet of a burst of water.I saw a huge dinosaur head actually appeared in front of him, looking at himself!
Ye Xi immediately took a big step back in shock and put his hand to the dagger hanging on his waist.
This is an aquatic dinosaur with a long neck. It has greenish gray skin and red umbelliform sarcoma on its head. Its black eyes are shaped like almonds. There is no trace of white eye. It looks very pure.
But no matter how pure it is, one eye is bigger than his whole person!
And the dinosaur''s neck was so long that it could suddenly reach the edge of the cliff from the water and look at himself standing on the top of the mountain!
Sleeping trough! What''s the situation!! Ye Xi cried out in his heart.
If he had hair like a cat, he would have had it now.
Jiaojiao was also frightened. Instinct drove him to flee back. However, ye Xi was still here. So he raised his neck high and opened his mouth to show his four sharp long teeth, making a silent threat to him.
But this giant beast didn''t manage Jiaojiao. It just tilted its huge head and stared at Ye Xi with big black eyes.
