Chapter 171 Suspected Shark

"Just make do with it. After a while, life will improve." We would have been better off if the tribe had not been destroyed.

Because the dishes are not many, the portion is not very enough, three people eat nothing left.

After making the wooden box, I found myself a little hungry. All I can think about is going to sleep.

The next day when we helped me to make money, Li Ding and Cui Bin also complained that our life was getting worse and worse. They both thought that we should think of something to improve the quality of life.

I stopped and looked at them and said, "Do you want to fish in the sea without rattan nets?"

"Will that work?" Li Ding was full of doubts.

I said, "There is nothing else we can do but cane. Try it. Make it bigger. Maybe you can hit some."

"Then I'll cut the cane." Li Ding said and ran away.

When he returned with a pile of vines, the business of making money was immediately tossed aside and the three men began to make nets together. Because rattan fishing net is not light weight, can not make an awl. The three men made their nets. It was late afternoon. But hungry for food, we eagerly carried the nets down to higher ground.

For the sake of stability, we have been busy in the river now, and we have not caught a fish. When it was dark, we unwillingly laid our nets across the river and returned to the tribe empty-handed.

Probably all three were hungry last night, and she cooked a lot of sweet potato porridge with ground corn. The portions have also increased considerably.

"Why don't we go to the pit and have a look inside, maybe there are fish inside?" Zhang Yutong eager to say.

"No, we didn't notice it the last time we went. Cui Bin has just been there."

"It's pathetic." She sighed and took a swig of sweet potato porridge.

"At dinner." Cheng's voice rang out from the door.

Saying hello, I casually invited him to have dinner with me. Cheng was not polite either. After a meal, I didn't feel full.

"Cheng Shu, how do you eat these days?" I'm curious.

Cheng smiled and said, "There's Yuna. I go to her every day for dinner. The little girl always said that she wanted to eat kimchi, said that her kimchi is very delicious, but we have no vegetables here. I heard you went fishing. Did you get anything?"

I pointed to the empty plate on the table. "If there was, I would have eaten it."

"Don't lose heart. Try again tomorrow." Lao Cheng suddenly changed his mind and asked me to show him the copper coins I had made.

I took out one of the three copper coins and examined them. Lao Cheng was very satisfied.

"It's pretty good, but not pretty enough. But it's good enough. Make lots of them. They'll come in handy."

When I was about to bring them back, Cheng said he would have them. I'm also embarrassed to say no, just default.

As soon as Lao Cheng left, I went out. First went to Li Ding's house, the couple are still eating, eating almost the same as us. So we went to Cui Bin's house again, but they had already eaten.

"Should we attack the horde before? Bring more vegetables and livestock." Cui bin suggested.

"Yes, the construction of the tribe is also finished, tomorrow can not catch fish, start to prepare." In the beginning, things were worse than they are now, but we got used to it. As a result, after a trip to a big tribe, life was better, but after a long time, I could not adapt to the previous hard life.

The three of us went out early the next morning for a bite to eat.

Together the three of us hauled up the heavy net.

"There are fish, there are fish." Li Ding danced for joy.

Cui Bin and I were not at all happy. There were some fish in the net, but they were really small and pitiful. Only a dozen or so double fish were caught in the corner of the net.

The fish is naked, gray black, white belly, gills on both sides of a pair of sharp fins. I have no idea what breed it is.

"Is it edible, this?" Cui Bin was skeptical.

"I'm sure you can. Some fish in the sea are poisonous, but I'm sure the freshwater fish are fine." I'm being shallow, but it's a deeply ingrained belief.

"Tube it so much, eat not to know it once." Li Ding picked up the basket with the small fish in it and said, "Just a little. Why don't we eat together tonight?"

"Take it back and let them cook it. Call the old men and children of the tribe together and let them eat it." As leader, I can't think only about myself.

Li Ding some dejected, but also did not object.

"I guess you have to go to the sea after all." Cui bin suggested.

I also have the idea, but I worry more, the fishing net we make is very primitive, it is not easy to catch fish, especially in the case of big fish, will break the net, not to mention, may even drag our boat into the sea.

After some discussion, we decided to have a try. To cope with the depth of the water, we have lengthened and strengthened the rope that constricts the net.

When Li Ding sent the fish back, she asked him to bring several people over. After getting the nets ready, we took two boats out to sea and tied the lines of the nets to the boats. About a hundred meters from the shore, the combined force dropped the net, and about two minutes later, it was brought back.

In the end, nothing. But that doesn't discourage us. After a few stops and still no success, we went on about a hundred meters, and before the net was fully drawn, we saw fish struggling in it.

This makes us overjoyed, after pulling up the net, we harvested ten fish of different sizes, among which there are two hairtail about a catty.

As I cast the second net, I said, "One day of this should feed our tribe."

"Surely that would be enough." Cui bin said: "But in the future, we can often come to fish, when enough, we can dig our own fish pond to raise the fish."

"Fish in the sea can't adapt to fresh water." Li Ding reminded.

Cui bin said, "So we won't bring the seawater back? It's a bit of a hassle, but it's a way."

"Internet bar, more work, less nonsense." It was hard to pull the net, so I stopped them.

The second net only had two or three red fish and the effect was not very ideal.

In order to catch enough to eat all the fish on the day, we began to take shifts to cast nets, a morning of time, somehow had thirty or forty catties of harvest, dry a day, let everyone eat a meal of the idea has become unrealistic.

When we went back to dinner at noon, to reward those who had gone to sea, each of us shared some larger fish and kept the rest in a large tank with the sea water we had brought back.

Looking at two women happily drinking fish soup, my heart a little sad. In terms of overall conditions, the environment of our tribe has been equivalent to that of modern towns, but in terms of dietary conditions, it is still stuck in the stage of primitive society.

After dinner, I suddenly thought of Li Yunna, quietly caught two fish, button the gills went to her house.

She was single, so she could not share an apartment, and lived with another Aboriginal girl, but ate and drank separately. It so happened that the girl wasn't at home. When I went in, Li Yunna was lying on the bed singing a sweet, melodious Korean song.

I leaned against the doorpost and knocked on the door.

She sat up in amazement, her eyes wide open, dark and vivid.

"Oba, why are you here?"

As she spoke, she quickly got out of bed. She was wearing a pink dress with a bow tie on her slender waist.

"Have you had lunch yet? I asked.

Li Yunna shook his head: "not yet, in the morning up late, uncle went to the power cave, and so he came back I just do lunch."

I held up the fish in my hand. "I'll send you something to improve your food."

"Really." She happily ran up to meet the past: "I know you go fishing these two days, how the harvest."

"Not so good. Try again this afternoon and see if we can get fish for everyone."

She nodded and felt a little frustrated. "I thought my brother would send me fish, but you did."
