Wolf-Shaped Blanket
The place to collect the grass stem fishing nets woven by other beastmen is still the big cave. This time Cheng An learned his lesson and got up early to urge Yu to take the fishing net to the big cave quickly.
However, there were still beastmen who were earlier than them and waiting in the big cave with their woven fishing nets.
Cheng An ordered Yu to unfold the fishing nets to check the quality before putting them away. When he met a beastman with good hands, Cheng An would ask Yu to praise them a few words and then remember the appearance of the beastman.
Shitou and Xiao Hua also arrived one after another.
Cheng An was not polite and grabbed them as labor to inspect the fishing nets together.
The inspection of the fishing nets was very fast, and soon the big cave was full of woven fishing nets.
The fishing nets had to be processed again after they were collected, that is, to sew them into a large net. Finally, they needed to tie a circle of stones of uniform size on the edge of the fishing net.
There were too many fishing nets. Cheng An knew that he could not help. The number of fishing nets was not more than 100.
Fortunately, Cheng An had foresight and asked several sub-beastmen who were good at weaving fishing nets to stay and help sew the scattered fishing nets into a big net.
With the experience of weaving fishing nets before, even if Xiao Hua and Yu could not convey Cheng An’s meaning very well, they somewhat understood and completed the processing of the fishing nets smoothly.
The time was less than Cheng An expected, and it was not even time to cook lunch.
Looking at the sky, although it was a bit gloomy today, fortunately it did not snow.
It takes a while to throw the fishing nets into the lake before you can collect them.
It is right to throw the nets early while the weather is good now.
“The fishing net is ready. Let’s cast the net early while the weather is good today!”
Yu nodded and pointed to a few beastmen to carry the fishing net to the big lake. Among them were Xiao Hua and Shitou. The beastmen carrying the fishing net looked similar to the beastmen who carried the beef last time.
Cheng An sighed. Maybe this is a small tribe. There are only so many strong beastmen. He is familiar with them.
Cheng An patted Yu and asked him to translate. They will go to the lake to cast the net soon. Any beastman who wants to go can go. Anyway, the frozen lake is not far away.
The three sub-beastmen left in the cave looked at each other, and finally only two sub-beastmen decided to go and take a look.
Cheng An nodded to show his understanding. After all, it is still too cold to go out in winter.
The sub-beastmen walked slowly. In order to take care of them, Yu deliberately slowed down his pace. When they arrived at the frozen lake, Shitou and the others had already transported the fishing net to the lake.
He saw a big black bear waving at him with a smile. Although Cheng An was prepared, he was still scared.
The difference between Xiao Hua’s human form and beast form is really huge.
As soon as Cheng An opened his mouth, the cold wind rushed in. Forget it, let’s just lie down next to Yu’s ear and talk. The wind will be smaller with a shelter.
“You have to punch a hole first, and then put the net in this hole. Then, according to the length of the fishing net, punch another hole opposite this hole, and pull the net out from the other hole.”
This is not difficult to understand, but the difficulty lies in how to choose the position to put the net, and how to pull the fishing net line from the hole where the net is put to the place where the net is collected under the ice.
They didn’t have any other tools, just the woven fishing net and a two-meter-long thin wooden stick.
Cheng An knew that the position of the net would affect how many fish could be caught when the net was finally collected. This is a technical job, but he is not an expert!
No golden finger either.
No, he has a golden finger, but the golden finger likes to play dead.
457: “…” Originally wanted to speak, but the host was too sad, so he continued to play dead.
Forget it, Cheng An closed his eyes and pointed to a place at random, “Just smash a hole there first!” Anyway, their fishing net is big enough, and there will always be blind fish that will hit it once the net is cast!
“Listen to An, break the ice there first.” Yu walked in the direction pointed by Cheng An and determined the position.
They reached out and wrapped the fishing net line around the wooden stick twice. It is not difficult to transport the fishing line from the net hole to the other net hole, but you need to dig more holes and spend more effort.
“What about the net hole? Which direction should it be set in?” Yu pulled Cheng An off his shoulder and wrapped him tightly with fur.
Cheng An’s comfortable nest is good, and he pointed to a direction at random, “Then let’s go over there!” How many fish can be caught in the end depends on fate.
If he had bad luck and got nothing, he would accept it. However, Cheng An thought that his luck was pretty good, so it shouldn’t be too bad…right?
Yu measured the positions and asked the beastmen to hit one position each. The first one to hit the right position would go to help the next person. Anyway, they should not be idle.
Even the two sub-beastmen who followed him wrapped their fur tightly to help Yu straighten the fishing nets to prevent them from getting tangled with each other.
Cheng An couldn’t help much, so he could only pray silently in his heart and cheer everyone up.
With the efforts of everyone, the fishing nets were finally spread.
Yu’s hands had been soaked in ice water just now. Now not only his arms, but also his lips were a little pale. He wanted to jump out of his arms and cover Yu’s hands with his fur belly.
Now that everything is done, they can finally go back.
“Everyone go back and take a break, and come back to collect the fishing nets at noon the day after tomorrow.” Yu pulled the line for collecting the net, wrapped it around the wooden stick several times, and then found a stone to press it down. After confirming that the fishing line would not sink into the ice water again, he asked everyone to go back to the cave first, make a fire and dry their fur to avoid getting sick.
Back in the cave, Cheng An quickly ran to the stone bed and took the fur in his mouth, “Cover up quickly! Your hands and lips are frozen blue!”
In fact, it was not that exaggerated, but Yu’s usually rosy lips turned a little white. Cheng An was very nervous.
After Yu obediently wrapped the fur around himself, Cheng An still felt it was not enough. He turned around and around and couldn’t really hold the other big furs. In the end, he simply sat on Yu’s arm and acted as a wolf-shaped blanket.
“Alright.” Yu weighed Cheng An, “It’s not that exaggerated, I will warm up soon.”
Cheng An didn’t listen. What did it mean to warm up immediately? His arms under his belly were still cold.
Cold or not, is his stomach upset?
Yu couldn’t get to Cheng An. Although he shook his head, he had a doting smile on his face, and added wood to the fire.
