Chapter 762 Twenty Fish
The last time He Bian led his little bit along the Yan River to find a cure, he suffered a loss because of lack of experience. This time he followed the Yan River with thanks again, so he learned to be smart and was more alert to the people and things around him. Anyone who wanted to get close to them, no matter who it was, would kill!
Although the people from the Dishan tribe looked easy to talk to Yanjiao, Hebian always had a smile on his face, but keen people could detect the murderous aura that could not be concealed by them. It was not aimed at Yanjiao, but that they could not completely restrain these murderous auras.
Let’s look at the rafts loaded with big shells, which contained many blood stains that were not washed away by the river, including their own, as well as people and beasts they met along the way. What’s more, the Dishan tribes also experienced a life-and-death battle. It was the time when they were so fierce that anyone who got into trouble would start killing them.
Hebian did not hide the suspicious people he met in the middle of the journey from Shao Xuan. After all, their Dishan tribe is far away and few outsiders come, but Yanjiao is different. If it is really a person from the other side of the sea, it may pose a threat to Yanjiao, so you have to be prepared in advance.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Hebian came to the three big shells with various sea shells, but Hebian was not looking for these. Hebian looked at the three big shells with sea shells, then opened one of them, and on the many small shells, there was a slightly larger shell with an arm length.
The shell looks like two hands and fingers are intertwined, and something is filled with the gap, and water seeps out.
After Hebian carried it out, he skillfully pried it in several places with the pointed corner stone in his hand, and then as soon as he tried to force it, the shell was pried open.
Inside are small fish with their belly rolling.
Shao Xuan pointed to the dead little fish inside, looked at Hebian, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Dead fish?"
"No, these undead people were just fed medicine, as if they were dead." Hebian said.
When they were in the Dishan tribe, they sometimes caught many fish, but if they caught too much, they could not kill them all at once. Some people did not like to eat dried fish. Therefore, the Dishan people found a medicine that could make the fish fall asleep after eating so that the fish could remain fresh for a long time. When they wanted to eat it, they would catch the fish out of the sprinkled water and put it in normal water. They would wake up again soon.
He asked someone to fill a bucket of river water with a bucket of water. Hebian put the twenty small fish inside into the bucket. The water in the shell was sprinkled with medicine, and as long as the potion was removed, the fish would wake up again.
"However, if they can't wake up in three days, they may never wake up. However, judging from their appearance, they will definitely wake up within three days." Hebian said.
If the fish are really killed by the medicine, the fish will not remain like this. They often contact the fish, and of course they know whether the fish body is normal.
"This is given to you by Wu. When I came here last time, Wu saw your lake and heard that you raised fish, so I caught some fresh ones. Oh, and some dried fish were also made into shells." After Hebian put the twenty small fish into the bucket, he moved them one by one, and confirmed again that it was true.
"What kind of fish are these?" Shao Xuan looked at the small squirrels of spiral shapes that were only one palm, with their heads and backs of fishes being blue-black, darker in color, and they couldn't tell the appearance, and there were also fish that looked similar to them in the Yan River.
"It's turtles. Because they grow up like they wear hard armor. Although they are so small now, many fish are not big when they are born, and they are not as big as my fingernails, but in the end they can grow bigger than... than the houses here! turtles are. Moreover, turtles are hostile to turtles in the sea, and they will fight when they meet. We have helped turtles in the past and fought against turtles. We often go to the river to find their young fish to catch them, because turtles will go to the upper reaches of the river to give birth to small fish, but after birth, they will return to the sea again. These turtles grew up in the river, and you can definitely raise them here."
Hebian told Shao Xuan intermittently all the information he knew. In fact, they didn't understand the habits of turtles very well. They were just hostile to turtles in the past because they were on the same front as Diyu, so they often stared at their activities.
"What do they eat?" Shao Xuan asked.
"eat……"
Hebian was stunned. They only knew that Yanjiao raised fish and other animals, and they had no experience in this area. They just went fishing when they were hungry, and they didn't need to raise them at all. After Shao Xuan asked this, Hebian stuttered.
"Just...just...just...just...you should...grow...are you?"
When Shao Xuan saw Hebian like this, he didn't have to expect to get the answer from him.
"Hey, they can eat them in the water anyway. When they grow up, you can eat them. They grow very fast." Hebian felt more and more clever. They did not transport large sea beasts to come, but they brought these living small fish and Yanjiao knew how to raise them. As long as they were raised, wouldn't they be similar to large sea beasts?
Shao Xuan looked at Hebian speechlessly, who was inexplicably satisfied. If raising a child was so easy, it would not have become a skill that tribes valued.
He sent all the thank-you gifts and followed Shao Xuan to Yanhe Fort for a walk. The next day, Hebian took his people away. They were also worried that something happened to the tribe. After all, the war had just ended and they were worried about that. As for Yanhe Fort, although it really surprised them, they still prefer quieter places with fewer strangers.
"The Di fish did not disappear. After they lost their fire, many of them escaped. Now our Dishan tribe is killing each Di fish." Hebian said to Shao Xuan before leaving. After they returned this time, the Dishan tribe will truly start a new life, but they don't know what will happen in the future.
About fifty people jumped into the river at the command of Hebian. When they showed their heads again, they had totem patterns on their faces. The thick arms like a layer of scales waved towards Shao Xuan and others on the river bank, and then drilled into the water again.
Under the river, dozens of water arrows rushed towards the downstream, which was much faster than the boat. No wonder Hebian and others did not take long to swim upstream this time. The bamboo rafts were pulled by human power. They thought it was too slow to use wooden oars, so they unloaded the cargo when they went back, and the bamboo rafts didn't need to be pulled, so the speed was even faster.
Shao Xuan returned to the mountain and moved the pearls and shells to Guize. The other four salted fish from the shells were moved to Guihe and asked him to distribute food. This is a seafood product. Many people in the tribe have never eaten it. No matter whether they are used to the taste or not, they can taste it fresh.
As for the turtles transported by Hebian from afar, Shao Xuan thought about it and planned to pour them all into the newly opened artificial river around the trading area.
Because the Yanhe Bridge directly blocked the Yanhe River, and it was more troublesome to drive up and downstream of the ships, at Shao Xuan's suggestion, Yanke dug an arc-shaped artificial river channel around the Yanhe Fort and the planned expansion site. The two junctions between the river and the Yanhe River were blocked with gates, so that dangerous fish such as piranhas in the Yanhe River did not enter.
There are only some small aquatic animals that are not threatening. Shao Xuan doesn't know how to raise these small-clad turtles. As Hebian said, they can be poured into the water directly.
The reason why it does not fall into the artificial lake here in the headquarters is because the artificial lake is the territory of green ducks. Shao Xuan is worried that these turtles will be eaten by the fat ducks before they grow up. Even if the green ducks don't touch them, Shao Xuan is worried that these turtles will threaten other fish in the lake. After all, the fish that can fight against the difish must not be a simple fish.
The twenty small turtles in the bucket woke up the day after Hebian and the others left. I wonder if the medicine has not yet subsided and I looked unsatisfied.
Shao Xuan waited for a day, and seeing that their fins were swinging strongly, he carried the bucket to the other side of the river.
The pterodactyl followed Shao Xuanfei, but the dead leaf birds did not cross the bridge. Their range of movement was only in this area of the main part. When they left here, they would be afraid. There were too many strange auras on the other side of the river. After following them, they went back to the main part and stood on the branches and chirped.
Unfortunately, the Winglong ignored them and kept following Shao Xuan across the bridge.
"Don't eat these fish. If I know you secretly hold fish, I will feed you to Caesar." Shao Xuan warned.
The Winglong didn't know if he understood it, so he looked into the big bucket that Shao Xuan was carrying, screamed, and continued to follow.
Shao Xuan ignored it and continued to walk to the artificial river.
The Yanjiao warriors guarding the bridge were also curious, so they watched the elder carry the bucket and walk towards the river. After reaching the edge of the river, they poured the things inside into the artificial river.
"Great Elder, what's going on?" someone asked.
"Fish. Be careful and don't let people fish in the river." Shao Xuan said.
Several soldiers nodded repeatedly, and they would definitely stare at them with wide eyes.
The twenty turtles in the clothes were poured into the river and soon disappeared. The speed of swimming was not as weak as they were in the bucket.
The sluice may not be able to truly block these small fish. Perhaps they can find gaps to swim out, after all, they are still small now. However, Shao Xuan can't care so much. He doesn't care so much whether these small fish can really grow up.
Thinking of Gan Che and Wuhe who were left by him in Yisi yesterday, Shao Xuan carried the empty bucket and went to the trading area.
After Shao Xuan left, the winged dragon leaping on the tree spread its wings, glided to the riverside, stared at the water for a while, and then made strange screams, which were obviously different from its usual screams. Each scream was connected several times, and the last sound was particularly long.
After calling for a while, I didn't see any reaction in the river, but instead called the people guarding the bridge over.
"Don't eat the fish inside, the Great Elder will be angry!" The warrior who came over waved a spear in his hand, trying to scare the pterodactyl away.
The pterosaur standing at the other end of the river saw someone coming, shook his wings and flew to the tree not far away, looked at the river again, and called several times.
A figure with a blue and black back swung on the water surface and then got into the water.
Seeing this, the pterosaur shook his wings and flew away here.
The soldiers on the other side of the river finally drove away the pterosaurs, and then went back to guard the bridge.
Not long after, the pterodactyl flew back again, and caught it from the Yan River with a fish in his arms.
The warrior guarding the bridge saw the pterosaur tear off the fish and threw it into the water. He threw it a few times before calling it.
"What is it doing?" the warrior guarding the bridge asked his companions.
"Feed fish with fish?" Another guessed.
"Then do we care?"
"Don't care? It didn't eat the fish inside. Then let's talk to the elder, and see how the elder decides."
"It's OK."
As long as the pterodactyl does not eat the fish in the river, they will not go to drive it away for the time being.
At this time, in the artificial river, at first, only one fish was moving there, and then the second and third ones appeared one after another. Not long after, more than a dozen fish were moving there.
After tearing the caught fish to the point where only the skeleton was left, the pterosaur threw the wreckage into the river, and ignored it and flew back to the Yankee headquarters.
There are too many strange auras here, so it still feels safe at the headquarters.
In the trading area.
When Shao Xuan came to Yi Si's residence, Yi Si was writing something. When he saw Shao Xuan coming, he didn't stop writing. He just glanced at him and continued to write.
Qingshu still shrank beside Yisi. Although there were fewer thorns behind him, they did not completely disappear, which proved that he was still very nervous.
Wuhe and Ganqi were both in the same place. When Shao Xuan left yesterday, they were all there, and they were still there now. But Wuhe was standing yesterday, all on guard, but now he was wilted and sat on a wooden stool, speaking weakly. As for Ganqi, it was really the same as yesterday.
When Wuhe saw Shao Xuan coming in, he immediately became energetic and said to Shao Xuan: "Take this person away quickly, and I will leave immediately. Really, I will never come to you Yanjiao again!"
Yesterday, Shao Xuan said that Wuhe could leave after answering the questions asked by Gan Qi, but Wuhe didn't expect that although Gan Qi spoke less, he asked one question after another. He asked him all night but didn't let him leave.
This person doesn't sleep either!
For Wuhe, it would be fine if he didn't sleep all night, but he didn't want to keep looking at this stone face and answered questions constantly. If he didn't say that, he would directly threaten by force, and his arm was almost broken.
"How are you asking?" Shao Xuan looked at Gan Che.
Gan Che let go of Wuhe's hand and just shook his head gently. He was not satisfied with Wuhe's answer. It was okay at the beginning, but it was lies in the end.
"I'm going to Yanhe Castle, what are you planning?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Go back." Gan Che stood up, put on his hood, and followed Shao Xuan out. He left and went to Qingshu and glanced at Qingshu. He was so scared that all the thorns that had retracted from Qingshu's back appeared again.
Gan Che was actually just curious. He heard Wuhe said that Qingzi was a slave, a slave with the blood of humans and beasts. It was really interesting, half-orcs, slave owners, slaves... the relationship between people and people in the tribe is completely different.
Gan Che learned a lot of information from Wuhe. After returning to Yanhe Castle, he went straight into the basement and lay in the coffin to think about his life. Shao Xuan went to find Zheng Luo.
"What, is there something wrong?" Shao Xuan saw Zheng Luo and Duokang's serious look as soon as he went over.
Zheng Luo handed Shao Xuan the animal skin roll in his hand, "You'll know just by looking."
Shao Xuan took the animal skin scroll and saw the totem pattern on it first, which made him know who sent it.
