Chapter 824: Harvest

night comes.

Priley came to Du Dian's gate with a spear and invited Du Dian to go to the tunnel to gather.

"So early?" Du Dian was a little surprised. From the pocket watch he was wearing, it was just before six o'clock at night, and there were still more than ten hours before tomorrow's dawn.

"The desolate beasts come out to hunt and prey outside at night, so it's not suitable for walking in the tunnel, so we have to go to the tunnel in advance and rest there for the night." Priley explained with a smile.

Du Dian suddenly thought about it, and said: "I have an idea, which can double the harvest of our hunting, but we need to prepare some tools. I wonder if you have any here?"

Priley's eyes lit up, "Double the fishing harvest? What kind of tools does your benefactor need?"

"Stronger rope, I want to weave a fishing net."

The interest in Priley's eyes suddenly lost, and he said with a wry smile: "Grandpa wants to use fishing nets to catch it? It's useless. We have tried this method a long time ago. The fish in the Blue Fish Lake are all meat-eating guys with sharp teeth. Can easily bite through a fishing net."

Du Dian shook his head slightly, and said: "Weaving fishing nets is not for fishing, but for circling fish. You will know this by then. Do you have ready-made fishing nets here?"

"Fishing?" Puliley was puzzled, and said: "There are nets ready-made, but they are not used for fishing, they are used to besiege small wild beasts, and are kept by other wild hunting teams. If it is damaged, I can borrow it, but if it is damaged, we have to pay it to others.”

Du Dian heard that he was worried about the safety of the fishing net, so he didn't say much, and said, "Go borrow it, and I will pay for it if it breaks."

Seeing that he was confident, Priley said doubtfully, "Grandfather, is the method you said really effective?"

"It should." Du Dian didn't say anything dead, and said: "By the way, there are still eighteen people. Let them wear spears and wear tools for digging."

"Don't need to bring a spear?" Priley was stunned, and went out to hunt. He didn't bring a weapon, but he brought a tool for digging? Is this going to dig a hole for yourself and bury yourself?

Seeing his weird expression, Du Dian could fully guess what he was thinking, and said, "Believe me, it's useless to bring a spear, all of them bring tools for digging, and you need to borrow a large fishing net."

"Grandpa, this..." Priley hesitated. After all, going out to hunt is not easy, and the opportunity is rare. It would be better if he went alone.

The point is that there are 18 other people this time. Behind these 18 people are more than a dozen families, carrying the rations of the children and the elderly in the family. If they go out without gaining anything, then the next day will be very miserable. .

"Engong, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I'm worried that other people may not be willing to do this." Priley said tactfully.

Du Dian saw his embarrassment and said: "If someone wants to bring a spear, let them bring it. Others who bring digging tools can let them bring a bag for fish. If there is no accident this time, it should be big. Good harvest."

"Okay." Priley smiled wryly. If Du Dian hadn't saved him, he wouldn't have bothered to listen to his nonsense. Going out to hunt without a spear and wanting a good harvest? It would be nice not to just slip back.

An hour later, Priley found Du Dian with a borrowed fishing net. He was accompanied by three or four young men, all of whom were carrying tools such as shovels and hoes. Priley saw Du Dian waiting at the door. He hurried over and said: "Grandpa, I borrowed the fishing net, but you must be careful when using it. They said that if it is damaged, they will have to compensate them for at least thirty fish."

Du Dian took a look at the fishing net. It was woven with bark fibers and vines. The net wire was very thick, but it was considered delicate for hunting monsters outside. He pinched the fishing net, it was still tough, and he was satisfied, and asked, "What about the others?"

"They are all waiting for us outside the tunnel." Priley looked at the faint lights on the top of the village, and said, "It's getting late, Mr. Benefactor, shall we start now?"

"Okay." Du Dian nodded, turned back to the house, pulled Hailisha out, and said, "Let's go."

"Miss Hailisha is going too?" Priley was surprised.

Du Dian smiled lightly and said, "I will not be separated from her."

Priley was stunned, stopped asking more questions, and called the people behind to set off with fishing nets on their shoulders.

Not long after, a few people came to the tunnel outside the village, and saw more than a dozen people standing in front of the tunnel waiting, most of them were holding spears in their hands and carrying a small basket on their backs, waiting boredly.

Seeing Du Dian and Priley coming, more than a dozen people all looked over, their eyes fell on Du Dian, full of curiosity, and very few of them had vigilance and indifference in their eyes.

Du Dian didn't care and walked over.

"Everyone, this is Mr. Du Dian, my benefactor." Priley introduced Du Dian to everyone as soon as he came up.

Everyone looked at Du Dian without words, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Knowing that Du Dian's identity is sensitive, Priley coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, it's getting late, let's go to the tunnel first."

"Old Lei, do you guys really only bring shovels and no spears?" One of the older middle-aged men, about forty or so, frowned.

Priley glanced at him, then at Du Dian, and said, "We don't use spears, you can bring them yourself if you want."

"Old Lei, if you don't get anything this time, you will have to eat horse grass for several days." The middle-aged man reminded.

Priley shook his head slightly, waved and said, "Ready to go."

The middle-aged man glanced at Du Dian, with a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. Priley was leading the team this time, so he just had to make sure he wouldn't return empty-handed.

Everyone entered the tunnel one after another, and after a while, they came to the entrance of the tunnel blocked by rocks, and saw two Huang generals stationed here, and besides them, there were actually two groups of people at the entrance, There are about a dozen people in each wave, sitting in two piles at the moment, sleeping on the floor.

Du Dian glanced at the outfits of these two groups of people. They carried more tools, hunting nets, huge wooden frames all over the iron, and weapons such as spears and swords.

Priley was familiar with the road, came to another open space, and called everyone to rest.

Du Dian asked him about these two groups of people, and Priley explained in a low voice: "They are the third wild hunting team and the fifth wild hunting team, mainly hunting the small wild beasts on the southern wasteland, which has nothing to do with us. "

Du Dian was curious, and after asking a few more questions, he realized that their wild hunting team was responsible for hunting in different areas. For example, Priley was mainly responsible for the area of ​​Blue Fish Lake. The reason for this division was because Bluefish Lake was first found by Priley's grandfather, so it was assigned to him by the great priest, and then passed on from generation to generation, and now it falls on Priley's head. Others who want to go hunting in Bluefish Lake must join Priley's wild hunting team will get one-tenth of the prey they hunt.

Du Dian was a little surprised by such a regulation. This is a fairly complete contract. I didn't expect it to be implemented in this backward and poor place, but in this way, it did improve efficiency.

"Hey, old Lei, are you going out of the wilderness tomorrow?" A middle-aged man who was about the same age as Priley walked out of a group of people. He seemed to have a close relationship with Priley and said with a smile: With so many people, are you ready to make a big fuss?"

Priley smiled and said, "No way, how did you prepare this time?"

"If you prepare or not, no matter how well you prepare, it depends on the sky." The man smiled, glanced at the crowd, stayed on Du Dian for a while, and said, "I heard that you brought the outsider this time." Let's go hunting together, this guy seems pretty strong, right?"

Priley said angrily: "It must be several times stronger than you."

"Haha, the one who can easily kill the corpse is indeed better than me." The man laughed.

Du Dian glanced at the two, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for tomorrow's hunting operation.

Time passed quickly, and at eight or nine o'clock, everyone fell asleep one after another, with slight snoring undulating in the tunnel, and they didn't know the passage of time in the dark, until a rough voice shouted: "Everyone is up, time Arrived."

Du Dian woke up from a light sleep, opened his eyes, and saw other people waking up one after another.

It was Huang Jiang who spoke, and the rock at the entrance of the tunnel had been pushed through a gap.

Priley also woke up, patted the sleeping people beside him, pulled everyone up, and said, "Get ready, let's go."

Everyone quickly packed up their things and followed Priley out of the cave.

In a blink of an eye, the three groups of people went to their own hunting spots.

The sky was dim, and the twilight shone from the clouds. Du Dian smelled the unique moisture and freshness in the wilderness in the morning, and felt that the pores of his body were slightly stretched, and his consciousness was extraordinarily clear. Behind Li Lei, he climbed through the woods, and after a short walk, he came to the blue lake. He saw that the lake was as calm as a mirror, blue and beautiful.

When the others saw the blue lake, their eyes glowed, and they wished they could go forward and do a good job immediately.

Du Dian sniffed briefly and smelled the bloody smell remaining in the air. He glanced and saw a few messy monster paw prints in the distance by the lake. It seems that other monsters have been here in the past few days Here, it seems that a fierce battle has been experienced.

"It seems that this water source is a good place to attract monsters." Du Dian thought to himself, at this time, Priley came to Du Dian and asked: "Grandpa, our time is limited, only two hours, you What are you going to do?"

Knowing that time was running out, Du Dian said without hesitation, "Go to the shallow water where you fished last time, listen to my password to dig a deep hole, lead the fish to the hole we dug, and finally concentrate on salvage."

Priley was a little dazed, but the matter had come to an end, and he didn't say much. After all, he didn't even bring a weapon, so he could only listen to Du Dian's command. He turned around and called everyone, and came to the shallow water where he fished last time, and said to Du Dian: "Where to dig a hole?"

Du Dian pointed to the shallow lake with his finger, and said: "Make a hole here, dig a hole here, and everyone will start digging immediately. Just dig the hole two meters deep, and extend it to here, about ten meters."

Seeing Du Dian's gesture, Priley suddenly came to his senses. Although he had never thought of this method, judging from Du Dian's gesture, it was very feasible. He immediately greeted everyone and said: "Everyone is ready, according to Du Dian Do as you say." After speaking, the first one came to the lake with a shovel and quickly dug the soil.

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, and followed him to dig the soil.

The other seven or eight people with spears saw the movements of Priley and the others, and looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether to help or wait.

Soon, the middle-aged man who had reminded Priley turned around and left first, and came to another foothold by the shallow lake, holding a spear and spearing the fish into the water, and soon caught one and put it in the basket .

Seeing that he had gained something, the others immediately surrounded him, found shallow water footholds one after another, and speared the fish.

There were as many small blue fishes in the lake as a cow's hair, and when they saw someone approaching, they flocked to the edge of the lake one after another. Some of the small fish jumped up and bit the spear point, their small mouths were full of sharp teeth.

Du Dian glanced at these people, didn't say anything, and glanced at the center of the lake from time to time, beware of the scary monster fish lurking to attack them, and at the same time came to the edge of the woods next to him, chopped off the trees with a sword, cut them into small wooden sticks, and supported them. In the fishing net, prop the fishing net into a long basket.

After a while, the deep pit Du Dian gestured was dug. Everyone is a hunter, and the digging efficiency is very fast.

"Grandpa, what about now?" Priley wiped the sweat from his forehead, and glanced at those people who were fishing by another lake. There was a trace of heat and tension in his eyes. He was unwilling to ask Du Dian.

"Put the fishing net here." Du Dian gestured for him to put the fishing net horizontally into the deep pit.

Several people worked together to quickly arrange the fishing net and fix it in the pit.

Du Dian took the shovel in Priley's hand, and quickly dug open the ridge between the pit and the lake. The lake slowly flowed into the deep pit, but the small blue fish by the lake were all attracted by the people who stabbed the fish. Only A few small fish flowed into the deep pit along the lake water.

Du Dian swung his saber, pierced into the lake water, picked up a small blue fish, turned his wrist slightly, the light of the knife quickly chopped the small fish into several sections, blood flowed out, he threw the fish block into the middle and end , Not long after, as he expected, the stimulation of the bloody smell soon attracted all the small fish by the lake, the lake surface seemed to be boiling, and the small fish kept jumping.

With the flow of the lake water, small fish quickly poured into the deep pit. Just as the opening of the fishing net in the deep pit was aligned with the mouth of the lake, all the small fish poured into the net and swam towards the deep fish pieces in the net.

In just a few minutes, the fishing nets in the two-meter-deep and ten-meter-long pit were all filled with small blue fish and lake water, and the small fish inside were surging. A rough scan found at least hundreds of thousands of them.

Seeing this scene, Priley and several other diggers stared dazedly, a little unbelievable.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Du Dian said to Priley, "Block the mouth of the lake."

Priley came to his senses, and hurriedly called several people beside him to come forward together with shovels, and shoveled the digging soil to the mouth of the lake to fill it up.

The lake water stopped pouring in, and the deep pit was full of fish and lake water. Du Dian asked Priley to continue digging at the end of the deep pit, digging deeper, and let the lake water flow out.

As soon as Du Dian said, Priley understood, and several other people also came to their senses. They were so excited that they picked up the shovel and dug the soil quickly, only to feel that the blood in the whole body was boiling.

Soon, several people worked together to dig out a small puddle. The water in the deep puddle quickly flowed out and was absorbed by the soil. The fishing net in the deep puddle sank quickly, leaving only struggling blue fish full of water. One net.

Du Dian looked at the time, only an hour had passed, and he could do another net by visual inspection.

"This, so many!" Priley looked at the small blue fish in the fishing net jumping and struggling due to lack of oxygen, his eyes widened, and he was so excited that he couldn't hold it back.

Several other people also stared straight at it, swallowing their saliva, feeling like they were dreaming.

Du Dian said: "I'm going to collect the Internet cafe, pour out the inside, and go back after playing one more net."

When Priley heard Du Dian said that he had to play another net, he couldn't help but looked at him in amazement, and subconsciously said: "I, the bags we brought don't seem to be enough..."

"It's okay, I have a solution. Later, you go to the side to pick some big leaves, put them under the fishing net, and drag them back directly with the fishing net." Du Dian said.
