I Really Didn’t Want to Become a System

Chapter 63: : The river is gone

Chen Chao asked while drinking the fish soup, "What's the matter?"

The little old man with the horns sighed, "The river...is gone...the fish...is gone..."

"Gone?"

Chen Chao was full of doubts, how could the river disappear...how could the fish in the river disappear? This side is not facing the sea. Could it be that the fish in this small river will behave like a parade?

Seeing Yuan Xingzhi next to him is not very high, he seems to be very worried about this matter.

I heard the little old man continue to say, "Fish... finished."

Although I know that there is food that can't be eaten in the cave, the hoarding of food is inscribed in human genes, and since the people of the tribe know that the fish in the river can be eaten, they have been very strong against the fish in the river. rely.

As a tribal witch, who has lived here for decades, he certainly knows that the river will disappear in winter. However, because there was no need for fishing in the past, they were relatively satisfied after it was sealed, because they can go directly to the opposite shore, which is much more convenient.

But this year is different. He knows that there are inexhaustible food sources in the river, and he also knows that the river will disappear in winter, so he asked the old staff to net a lot of fish in rattan baskets in advance. Eat for a winter.

However, the fish cannot be kept for long under their current knowledge, so they must be eaten before the fish on the catch is destroyed, but they are gone after they are eaten, so they have to eat the food stored in the tribe.

Although I know that there is a lot of food, there is no need for hunting teams to go out hunting in winter. But Wu Yi wanted to start moving the mountains, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed and sad. Even the matter of counting his skins today made him unhappy.

Chen Chao wanted to see it later, could it be that there is something mysterious that he didn't know? A good river, how could it disappear? Is there no water at the source?

But looking at the two of Wu and Yuan, there was nothing right. After drinking his bowl of fish soup in two mouthfuls, he put on his animal skin clothes and came to the river.

Behind him was Yuan who hurriedly chased him out. Wu was older and his pace was a little slow, and he fell behind Yuan.

"You, go, where?" Chief Yuan asked Chen Chao in a low voice.

"I'll go to the river and have a look." Chen Chao replied.

Mawozi straw sandals stepped on the snow, because they were not made of wooden soles, they were quickly infested by coolness, but compared to direct barefoot contact with the snow, there was still an extra layer of protection.

Snow fluttered all over the sky, and the visibility was less than one meter. Chen Chao came to the river with snowflakes, eh? Isn't Xiaohe just here?

What do they say Xiaohe is missing?

Is it for them that if it freezes, it is gone?

At this moment, Wu Ye walked up wearing his alpaca coat. He saw him stepping on the frozen creek with one foot, and said in frustration and sadness, "Chen Chao, He... is gone."

Chen Chao looked helpless. He was shocked by what the old man said before that the river was missing. I thought it was a strange event. The special thing was that the river was frozen. They couldn't see the flowing water, and they could walk on it. They felt that the river had disappeared and turned into the earth.

It is not easy to explain, Chen Chao asked Yuanhui to get a spear and a rattan basket out of the tribe, and then called Da Zhuang out, and asked him to bring his two favorite slings.

Chen Chao squatted down and looked at the situation on the river. This snow should have fallen from last night to this morning, and I don't mean to stop now, and I don't know how thick the ice in the river is. I can just hit it with a rock to break it.

Although the little old man beside him was very depressed, he did not feel cold. One is that he wears really thick clothes, and it is not cold when it snows, and the coldest time is when the snow melts.

He watched Chen Chao knocking and touching next to him. On the one hand, he had great expectations in his heart. He hoped that this deputy leader, who had brought countless hopes and surprises to the tribe, could once again transform Xiaohe back, so that they would have more With a food source, there is no anxiety of sitting and eating.

On the one hand, he was constantly comforting himself, the deputy leader was a human and not a god, how could he change a disappearing river back. And it doesn’t matter if there is no fish to eat, the things in the tribe can’t be eaten in one winter!

Although it is one thing to know in my heart, it is another thing to really do it. The long-term hunger has brought a kind of almost pathological psychology to the people of the whole tribe. I can not finish eating, but I must have a lot of food to see.

Soon, Yuan came back with Da Zhuang. The two of them stepped on the snow with one foot deep and the other shallow. Da Zhuang’s left and right shoulders each hung a sling, and he took two more in his hand.

Truly a prince of sling stone.

Many people in the tribe followed, because they heard that they could start catching fish again. Everyone was very interested. They grew up here, and of course they knew that in winter, the river would disappear.

Every day, watching the fish caught in the tribe are eaten little by little. Basically, many people consciously reduce their meals, but no matter how they eat, the fish is finally eaten. Although they didn't say anything, they all saw it in their hearts and were worried about the loss of fish as a food source.

Especially many people in the hunting team brought their own weapons. But because the people who came out were very anxious, they only wrapped the two sleeping animal skins on their bodies, and didn't wear the hemp nests on their feet.

As soon as Chen Chao saw them stepping barefoot in the snow, they all slammed back. Don't catch a few fish one at a time, and your feet are all frostbite. That's really troublesome.

Nine little kids wrapped in animal skins looked at the adults around them timidly. They were wearing hemp nests, because they were all in the snow before they started their day of study and playing time. It's noisy.

The little stone who joined in the end, although still a little timid, but under the leadership of Huang Yan, the king of children, is also well integrated into the group of children of the Tianyuan tribe.

Chen Chao took the sling from Da Zhuang's hand, still feeling a bit small. But considering that the river has only been frozen overnight, the ice layer should not be that thick yet. Two people smashed four stones together, and it should be no problem to break open.

Thinking of this, he made Wu and Yuan both retreat a little bit, and then he and Da Zhuang also retreated a certain distance.

This small river has just been freezing overnight, and it may be a little bit choking to walk away, let alone stand directly on the ice, and the hole will be broken by then. It is estimated that I and Da Zhuang will have to fall into the river.

The surface of the river was also covered with a thin layer of snowflakes. Chen Chao used a spear to outline a range, and signaled that Da Zhuang would smash in after him.

Chen Chao and Da Zhuang waved the sling in their hands and slammed them toward the ice.

When the ice was hit for the first time, the surface of the ice did not move. Chen Chao slammed it for the second time and the third time. It was not until he heard the sound of "crack" that the ice cracked. Just then smashed.

By the time it hit the fifth or sixth time, a small hole could already be seen on the ice. Da Zhuang discovered that the river had not disappeared, but was hidden underneath. In addition to his surprise, he swung the manual sling harder and smashed it towards the ice cave.

Because there is still some distance from the river surface, plus the fact that Chen Chao told him to retreat and then retreat, there is no need to worry about falling. It didn't take long before the original small hole was smashed into a big hole by the sling prince Da Zhuang.

The witch next to him shouted in surprise, "Fish!"

I saw several fishes with large mouths breathing oxygen protruding from the ice hole, and they were probably kept under the ice. After breathing for a while, he didn't move. Chen Chao thought he was dead, so he plucked it with his spear. As a result, the fish sank. Several fish were like this.

Ok? ? ? Is it too cold? Frozen to death as soon as he came up?

But it didn't take long for the fish to float up again, lying flat like a dead fish. Chen Chao fiddled with his spear several times back and forth, and all three people next to him were taken aback.

Yuan next to him couldn't wait to set foot on the ice and net these seemingly good fish with rattan baskets as before. The face of the little old man with the horns turned overcast, and he was also willing to help.

In the end, Chen Chao was pulled back all by one hand, and now he is fishing for fish on the ice that has just been broken.
