Chapter 67: Fishing... Who is fishing? (2/2)
It stands to reason that for fish that have never been deceived with bait, it is not difficult to catch a fish, not to mention the fish in the lake are quiet plenty. He has seen a lot of ripples under the water, and there are obviously fish gathering.
Unfortunately, there are ice floats on the lake. He pulled the hooks farther away. Because of the depth and the floating willow grass under the lake, even if the lake is very clear, the visibility is not very high.
Dai Wen took the meat from the hook and stuffed it into his mouth. He licked it. ”It tastes good, it is a little portion though. This kid is too stingy.”
”Yeah, since you eat the fish, you lose a big chunk of fish obvious it so small, and there is not much taste.” Xi Meng complained, then said: ”The next time its my turn.”
”But humans are very smart and even figured out how to fish in this way.” Wen commented that they saw the curved fish hooks, and they naturally guessed the intention of hooks
”The material of this thing is a bit strange.”
”Well, maybe we can give him better material to exchange for his meat?”
”Hey? Do you think he wanted fish?” Xi Meng was anxious, he only ate two pieces of meat, one less than Dai Wen. ”Quickly, catch the fish and insert it into him.”
I didn't catch the fish when I closed the line. Yan Mo was a little impatient. Plus cold, he couldn't wait.
This is last time I fish.
Yan Mo once again slammed the hook.
Xi Meng grabbed the hook and hurriedly took the meat from the top and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he hung the fish that Dai Wen had just caught on the hook. ”Okay.”
On the stone, Yan Mo felt the weight. .
This must have caught some! Yan Mo was so excited that he quickly though how to cook the fish.
A fish was pulled out of the water by his tail.
Throwing the fat fish, which looks like a grass carp, to the snow on the shore of the lake, Yan Mo was not worried about someone stealing his fish, nor was he afraid that the fish will escape. On such a cold day, the fish will not The water will soon be frozen.
With the results, naturally he didn't want to go right away. Yan Mo planned to look at the hook several times. He sets himself ten times, no matter how much he catches, he goes ashore.
This time he inserted a piece of meat that was two times larger than before. He felt that the meat before it was too small. The fish in the lake was bigger, and the fish had no bite.
”Come here!” Two of The Mer-people are excited.
”This time is bigger! Sure enough, I have to give the bigger fish.”
”Fast, catch three fish for him.”
The two handsome Mer-peoples at the lake were happy, and Yan Mo on the lake is also very happy to get fish. Basically, you can catch three fish with one hook, and the bigger the meat, the bigger the fish he caught. He put a thumb-sized piece of meat directly on the hook.
A Mer-man with a silvery fishtail at the bottom of the lake swam to the top of the lake and quickly approached Dai Wen and Xi Meng. “What are you doing?”
The Mer-men were not talking in voice, but using another way of communication.
“Luo Meng!” The two handsome Mer-men of The Mer-people saw that the other physically strong Mer-man had come they had a panic and embarrassment of being caught doing a bad thing.
“Did you smell something strange?” Luo Meng waited for the two to explain.
Suddenly.
On the lake, fishing had gotten cold and Yan Mo has a sense of accomplishment.
Counting, he has caught four fish, and one is better than a fat meat he put on! Even if he doesn't hunt, he can't die if he goes fishing! Wow haha! Wait, what is this?
What--! His stewed lamb!
Yan Mo finally remembered the pot of stewed lamb he had cooked on the shore of the lake. The fishing activity was so happy that he completely forgot the pot.
Yan Mo refused to fish again, and quickly stepped on the stone to go ashore.
The stone pot has been burned, and some of the lamb and herbs were already on the bottom of the pot. But fortunately, the bottom of the fire because no one added firewood, the fire was already very small, otherwise the things in the pot may have been burnt up.
Yan Mo quickly added snow water, stirred the bottom of the pot, added dead branches to the fire, and was sweating.
”Hey, you human.”
Yan Mo was surprised and immediately looked up and saw three sharp-edged harpoons aimed at him.
”What are you doing here? Can you understand our words?” Luo Meng extended his long fingertips to poke the boy's head. He was more curious about how the hair on his head could be so short, it looked furry and made people look at at the human want to bully it
Yan Mo groaned, and wanted to pretend to be afraid, considering his Priest status that he would definitely be exposed in the future. After a sigh of relief, he slowly launched a kind smile.
”Who are you? My name is Yan Mo.”
Listening to Yan Mo who can speak their language and was not afraid of them. The three Mer-people were very happy.
”I, Luo Meng. This is Xi Meng and Dai Wen. We are the Long-Tailed Clan of The Mer-people. We live in this lake.”
Perhaps the younger ones are more pleasing to the eye. Luo Meng doesn't have much to worry about Yan Mo. There are few foreign enemies, and his alert is not high.
The Long-Tail Clan? Is there a Short-Tail Clan? Do The Mer-people have their own tribes and clans like humans? Yan Mo guessed.
“I am from the Jiu Yuan tribe. Our tribal residence is some distance away from here. I came here to fish.” Yan Mo made a slightly shy expression. “This lake is big and bigger than other lakes. I think there will be a lot of fish here.”
”How many people are in your tribes?” Luo Meng asked.
Yan Mo thought about the answer, if he said little will it make them think they can be invaded and driven away? If he say more, will they regard them as imaginary enemies?
However, his focus now is to make powerful neighbors not regard Jiu Yuan as threats. It may not be wise to show strength now, because they are not really strong. It would be better to let The Mer-people feel that their new neighbors feel that they are more aggressive and more stronger than Jiu Yuan.
“Not much.” Yan Mo said honestly: “We have just migrated because we couldn't stay at our original place.”
”Hey? Why do you want to migrate? Have you met the ferocious beast?” There was a powerful underwater beast.
Hey no one is invincible its is not safe even in the water.
Yan Mo nodded. ”We met a group of dwarf monsters like humans. They are only a bit high, but they are very fierce, and they eat people. They killed us as prey. Although we killed them, we don't know if they could still come back. How many people can we loose so we can only migrate because we have many children, women and old people who have no fighting strength.”
Luo Meng looked at each other. They didn't think that a young child would lie, only that what he said it was truth.
Xi Meng couldn't help it. After smelling it, he quickly interrupted: ”Yan Mo, what are you doing? Is it cooking?”
It tastes weird, but Xi Meng can't help but want to taste it.
Dai Wen and Luo Meng were also very curious. They didn't come over to threaten this human child, but they were mainly attracted by this strange smell.
Yan Mo listened to what they asked and immediately laughed. ”This is a mutton pot. It is cooked with herbs. Do you want some?”
The three people nodded together ferociously. Anyway, do they want to expel these human beings. In the end, you still have to listen to the Chief orders and he said they don't have to expel these humans now. Moreover, the little child that fed the fish with meat is pretty cute.
At the same time, in the original residence of The Awu Tribe.
Meng and The Awu Tribe were packing up, and Yuan Zhan left him with a road map. They agreed that they would migrate together after 30 days of their departure.
Most of The Awu women and children are busy collecting Flax fibers and using them to prevent them from being threaded. There are still a few elderly people who are smashing the skin hides, even if the weather drops into ice, they are still sitting on the edge of the frozen lake, rubbing the fur with snow, and removing the residue.
“Meng Da Ren.” The Awu Tribe Chief came to Meng with a distressed look on his face.
“What?” Meng asked him.
”The woman... is crying again, and she doesn't want to eat.”
Meng didn't care about swinging his hands. ”Don't give her then if she doesn't eat, don't worry about her.” He was waiting for the woman to get hungry, he will take the meat, then the woman will be willing to sleep with him.
”But...” The Awu Tribe Chief was very embarrassed. ”The Priest said that she is also likely to be God's Priest. Everyone can't touch her body, and she can still...”
”What did she do?” Meng finally Face up.
The Awu Tribe Chief gritted his teeth. ”She put her hand on Hei Pi who was responsible for guarding her last night, and Hei Pi was disabled and managed to walk this morning!”
