Chapter 112 Flood and Fish Picking
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
A flash of lightning broke through the sky, and the thunder suddenly exploded. Countless dark clouds gathered in the sky, moved quickly with the wind, and then collided with each other.
Then, the strong wind blew up, rolling up all the dust on the ground, dead branches and leaves, and the branches and leaves were blown away.
"Tick tick..."
Large raindrops fell from the sky, and then they fell more and more, and they became bigger and bigger.
“It’s raining heavily!”
Someone shouted in the farmlands of the Mang Tribe, and then everyone held tools and blocked their heads with their hands and ran back.
After a while, heavy rain fell, washing away everything in the mountains.
In the Mang tribe, Chen Bei ran back to his house, shook the water droplets on his hair, and wiped the water from his face.
“It rained too fast.”
Chen Bei was checking the growth of crops in the field just now, but unexpectedly he was covered in a body.
He took off his wet bark jacket, changed into a dry bark jacket, then slapped the water from his hair, then sat on a stool, watching the heavy rain outside.
"Tap, tap..."
Chen Bei sat for a while and suddenly heard the sound of water. He turned around and found that there were two places on the roof that were leaking.
"This roof leaked so quickly, and the roof made of thatch is indeed not durable."
Chen Bei muttered a few dissatisfaction, then took two pots of clay pots and placed them in the leaking place to collect rainwater. When the pots are full, they poured them out at the door and continued to collect them. This was repeated.
It's really annoying that the house leaks.
Chen Bei thought that when he had time, he would let a batch of tiles be burned out from the pottery workshop and replace the thatch and bark on the roof, which would be much more durable.
Tile firing is similar to pottery firing, and it is not very difficult, but because the number of needs is particularly large, it takes a lot of manpower and earthen kilns to complete.
The tribe is very busy now, and there are not so many people. It seems that it can only be completed after the autumn harvest.
The heavy rain continued to fall, and it took several hours. Chenbei finished cooking, but after the meal, the rain still did not weaken at all.
"Oh no, there won't be a flood, right?"
Chen Bei looked at the heavy rain outside and frowned slightly. The damage to the crops caused by floods was greatly affected.
However, he thought about it again and thought that he had thought about the flood situation at the beginning, so the tribe was far away from the river, and in places with high terrain, even if the river tide rose, it would not have much impact on the tribe.
Moreover, all the arable land of the Mang tribe has been set up ridges and dug a large number of drainage ditches in accordance with Chenbei's requirements, so there should be no large-scale water accumulation.
Thinking of this, Chen Bei's heart calmed down a little.
The heavy rain fell for a day before it gradually became lighter, but it still did not stop.
"roar!"
At night, Chenbei was sleeping, and there were loud strange roars by the river, which were sounds he had never heard before.
"Is it the water beast in the river?"
Chen Bei guessed that it might be because after the heavy rain, the river water flooded, the river water at the bottom was turbid and lacked oxygen, and the water beasts at the bottom of the river came out to breathe.
This made Chen Bei alert.
Although the Mang tribe has been fishing by the river for two or three years, it has been in shallow water and tried not to go into the water. The understanding of this lobster river is far from enough.
They have hardly ever had any contact with the terrifying big fish and water beasts that don’t usually appear in the river.
"It would be great if I could build a large ship in the future. I would not dare to sail on the river with canoes."
The idea of building a ship has taken root in Chenbei's mind. He planned to ask the carpenter workshop to try to build a simple boat first, slowly explore experience, and finally build a big boat.
"Build tiles and build ships, there are so many things to do."
Listening to the occasional roars by the river and thinking about what to do in the future, Chenbei gradually fell asleep...
The heavy rain fell for three days, and it did not stop gradually after three days.
After the rain stopped, the clouds in the sky quickly dissipated, and the scorching sun shone on the earth again.
The planting team immediately checked the crops in the field. Fortunately, because of the good drainage, the crops were not flooded.
"Chief, so many fish, so many fish..."
It was too, and I reported to Chenbei excitedly.
"What fish?"
Chenbei was working in the yard, and many plants were tilted by strong winds and rains. He straightened these plants and covered the roots with soil.
"The water washed the fish in the river to the shore, and it was everywhere, and everyone was picking it up."
"Oh? There is such a good thing?"
"Yes, not only by the river, but also in the fields."
"Then I have to go and have a look."
Chenbei quickly helped out the remaining plants, and then walked into the plowing field with his teeth.
When he walked into the field, he saw many people running around barefoot with barefoot excitedly. They were covered in mud, but they were smiling on their faces.
"Ouch!"
A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was holding a big fish worth more than 20 kilograms. The big fish struggled violently, causing the boy to fall, and the big fish jumped around on the ground.
"Will you not bring a rattan basket or a skin bag to pack?"
Chen Bei was a little amused and crying. Such a big fish was very strong, so how could he hug it like this?
"It's okay, leader, I'm very strong and can hold it."
The boy went to hold the fish again, then stumbled and ran away, being slapped by the fish's tail from time to time.
There are a lot of fish in the field, as well as lobsters, crabs, turtles, etc. It should be when it rains heavily, so it swims along the stream and then along the ditches into the field.
After the rain stopped, the water in the ground was quickly drained, and the big fish could not turn around in the narrow ditch and were left in the ground.
Chenbei walked towards the river again and saw that the fishing team was also picking up fish.
There are many puddles by the river. These fish follow the river to rush into the puddle. After the river falls back, they are left here.
"Smack it..."
In a puddle, a huge catfish was constantly struggling. It weighed hundreds of pounds and its mouth was scary. It was quite rare for such a big fish to be stranded.
"Take it to death first, be careful not to get bitten by it."
Lie used a simple harpoon and forked the catfish's head a few times, but found that it was too hard and could not be forked in at all.
"Let me do it."
Chen Bei saw the hunting heart aroused, pulled out the bone knife and walked to the big puddle.
The fishing team stopped and retreated aside.
Chen Bei saw the opportunity and stabbed the catfish in the head with a fierce knife, and most of the bone knife was in.
Blood flowed out along the bone knife, and the huge catfish's head was pierced through. After only a few struggles, it gradually disappeared.
"The leader is mighty!"
As a qualified supporter, Ya immediately screamed in excitement, and the others cheered.
"Chew!"
Chen Bei pulled out the bone knife and wiped it clean, without any gap on it.
Sure enough, the bone knife made of the arm bone of the barbarian bear is extraordinary. Although the catfish's bones are hard, they are still pierced by the bone knife.
"Come back."
