Chapter 118 Fishing Nets
In particular, as fish are becoming increasingly difficult to catch, the arrival of this God-given plant, coupled with the fishing nets given by God before, made them very excited.
Su Yun, who was in the God Stone Space, heard them talking about artifacts on the left and right, and his mouth twitched slightly.
He swore that he absolutely did not say that the fishing net was an artifact, it was purely another imagination of the old priest.
"Thank you, great God!"
For a moment, everyone praised the great God and thanked him for giving them these two precious things.
This sacrifice was considered to be coming to an end.
Finally, at the call of the old priest, everyone walked towards the river.
He wanted to test the effect of the fishing net according to God's will.
Hundreds of people came to the river in a black mass.
The old priest stood on the river bank, picked out one of the five fishing nets, then hesitated and posed, and threw the fishing net out in an extremely unskilled manner.
The large fishing net with a diameter of several meters was thrown several meters away, like a deformed hat, sinking towards the water surface.
In the water, the fishing net sank like a jellyfish. Some fish didn't notice anything unusual and were trapped in the net. When they wanted to leave, it was too late!
The scales on the fish were supposed to protect them, but they were easily hooked by the fine white lines, making their desperate struggle useless. Instead, they sank deeper and deeper.
The old priest had nothing in his hands, and only a rope to pull the fishing net remained.
"Brother Kuang, do you think the priest can succeed?"
Shitou asked with implicit expectation.
"It should be possible. As long as the artifact is used, a big fish should be caught!"
Kuang was very confident in the artifact given by God.
"Well, the priest will definitely catch a fat fish, hehe!"
Shitou said excitedly.
When the others heard it, they also looked expectant, and their thoughts were similar to Shitou's.
The old priest waited anxiously for a few minutes before he began to pull the rope of the fishing net.
As soon as he exerted force, he felt his hand sink, and some sweat appeared on his forehead. He wasted a lot of effort but still couldn't pull up the fishing net.
"Uh..." The old priest was a little embarrassed, but he looked normal on the surface, trying not to let others see it.
He noticed it from the corner of his eye. The leader who was standing not far away with a face full of expectation immediately moved his heart, "Chief, the rest is up to you, we will do half each."
The leader was stunned and looked at him with some confusion, but this was a good thing, and he had no reason to refuse.
This was something given by the gods. He had wanted to do it himself before. Hearing this, he immediately stepped quickly to the side of the priest, and looked like a brother who would not forget him when he had a good thing. He patted the priest's shoulder hard.
The leader grinned, took the rope from the priest, and the muscles of his strong arms bulged. With a slight sinking in his hand, the fishing net was pulled up.
"Slow down!"
The old priest's eyelids jumped and immediately reminded him, "Don't go too fast!"
If it's too fast, the gift from God may be damaged by the leader.
The leader was slightly stunned and subconsciously slowed down a bit.
In this way, the fishing net was gradually pulled up from the water.
Everyone's eyes widened, reluctant to look away.
When a familiar black object was pulled up, their faces were full of surprise.
"Look, it's really a fish!"
"What a big fish, thank God!"
They excitedly thanked God. It really deserved to be a divine tool. Just throwing it down and the fish came up. They were amazed and amazed.
What a magical thing!
However, at this time, when their attention was all on the black fish trapped in the net and struggling and jumping, the second black spot accidentally caught the eyes of some people.
At first glance, they thought it was an illusion and subconsciously wiped their eyes with their hands.
"I'm not seeing things!" Fang in the crowd took a breath, and a look of shock flashed across his dark and rough face.
Qing, who was standing next to him, was also surprised, "The second fish?"
"Look, there is another fish there!"
With a cry from the crowd, everyone noticed the second black fish that was pulled up.
Everyone was silent for a while, and then exclaimed. Even the leader paused his movements and turned his head to look at the priest who was also shocked.
"Don't the priests know?" The chief noticed the priest's expression and thought in surprise.
The old priest was surprised. He really didn't know that this fishing net could catch two big fish at one time.
When God gave him divine revelation, the words were very concise and concise. Like most people, he thought that only one fish could be caught in one net, so now seeing the unexpected scene, he naturally couldn't escape the expression of surprise.
"Continue!" The old priest said to the chief with forced calmness. He had a surprise guess in his mind.
The chief nodded, exerted force with his hands, and the heavy fishing net was gradually pulled up.
When the third black big fish was caught in the fishing net and caught, the surprised expressions on everyone's faces became more serious, and their mouths opened wide.
The fourth...
the fifth...
watching, everyone gradually fell silent, and the scene fell into silence.
Finally, the whole net was caught up. Looking at it slightly, there were at least six or seven big fish, and some small fish, all caught up at once!
Everyone roared, and the deafening discussion continued.
"Oh my god! So many fish!"
"Just like this, they can catch so many!"
"This fishing net is really a magical object!"
Hundreds of people exclaimed, looking at the fishing net with fiery eyes.
It is worthy of being a divine artifact given by God. With this thing, won't they have endless fish to eat in the future, and no longer have to be hungry, and can eat a lot every day?
All of a sudden, the tribesmen fell into a happy fantasy.
After the leader pulled the fishing net ashore, everyone quickly surrounded it.
The old priest stepped forward, squatted down, and spent a lot of effort to save several big fish from the net.
At this time, someone noticed that there were some thumb-sized, long green things in the net.
"Priest, what are these?" The little tiger who was a few years old surrounded him and pointed at the green things in a childish voice.
The old priest was slightly stunned, and at this time he also noticed the small things in the net, "These..."
He took the green long things out of the net.
As soon as he took it off, the green thing struggled and jumped, almost jumping out of his hand.
After observing it in the sun for a while, the old priest also had some doubts on his face. He didn't know what it was. Looking at the curious little tiger, he was about to find a vague name.
"This is, green..."
Su Yun, who was observing in the dark, saw the old priest with a confused face and was about to force an explanation for the name, and his mouth twitched slightly.
In order to avoid being unable to bear to look at the shrimp in the future, he decisively transferred his consciousness into the body of the old guy and directly squeezed out his consciousness.
The old priest was slightly stunned when he was about to say the self-made name. After he came to his senses, he smiled slightly.
Su Yun looked at the little tiger and other curious tribesmen, and couldn't help explaining, "Child, this thing is called shrimp."
"Oh" Xiaohu and the others showed a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces.
"It's something that can be eaten." Su Yun added in a calm voice.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, and their eyes looking at the shrimps changed, full of greed, and some people swallowed their saliva subconsciously.
The rapid change of attitude made Su Yun's mouth twitch slightly.
"Go get a pottery jar."
He looked up and ordered, and the tribesmen hurriedly followed the order.
As the shrimps were put into the pottery jars, the big fish were also untied one by one.
After a while, there were only a few small fish as thick as one or two thumbs left in the fishing net.
Just when the tribesmen thought that the priest was going to take the small fish away, and someone had already taken a new pottery jar to put it there, the priest did something unexpected.
Su Yun took the fishing net and went directly to the river in the confused eyes of others.
"What is the priest going to do?" Shitou muttered.
"I don't know." Kuang, who was standing next to him, shook his head.
Then, hundreds of people saw that after the priest took the small fish, he actually put the small fish into the river.
"What is this?"
"What is the priest doing!"
Everyone was stunned, a little dumbfounded, and exclaimed.
"Priest, why did you release the fish?" The chief scratched his hair, walked to the priest, and looked confused, "What a pity for the fish."
"Yes, yes."
The tribesmen looked at the released fish with regret, and when they noticed that the priest was still going to release it, they suddenly became anxious.
"Priest, don't want it!"
"Leave it to us!"
They didn't understand why the priest would waste good food. Even if the fish were small, they were still meat. Even if the priest didn't want it, he could still give it to them. They thought with some complaints in their hearts.
If the person who did this was not the priest, who was the only one with the highest status in the tribe besides the gods, they would have complained long ago.
Xiaohu squeezed next to the chief and said in a childish voice, "The fish is delicious. Priest, if you don't want it, can you give it to me? I want to let my mother taste it."
Su Yun stopped what he was doing, turned around and noticed the hundreds of people. Everyone had some reluctance and complaints on their faces, and couldn't help but sighed slightly.
He turned to look at Xiaohu, rubbed his little head, and explained softly, "Child, are you confused about why I want to release the little fish? Why do I do this?" As
soon as these words came out, not only Xiaohu and the leader, but also the others were puzzled.
Yes, they couldn't figure out why the priest did this. Wouldn't it be better to keep the good food?
Seeing that the priest seemed to be trying to explain, they all pricked up their ears.
"I don't know." Xiaohu bit his nails and shook his head.
Su Yun squatted on the ground, looking at hundreds of puzzled tribesmen, and slowly taught, "This fish is like a person. The people in the tribe are divided into children and adults. Both are indispensable."
"If there is only adults left in the tribe one day, and there is no child, do you know what will happen?" As
soon as these words came out, the tribesmen began to ponder. Some of them scratched their heads and still didn't understand, and some of them felt like they understood something in a trance, but it was like seeing flowers in the fog, and they couldn't see clearly.
The last few people, such as Qing, suddenly realized and understood something.
"Priest, what will happen?" Xiaohu racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. This question was a bit profound for his age.
The others also looked at the priest.
Su Yun said calmly, "Adults will die when they get old. Without children, the tribe will perish."
When this answer came out, the eyes of the tribesmen were a little horrified.
"Now that you understand this, you can put it on the fish."
"You have caught both big and small fish. Now you have fish to eat every day. One day in the future, the fish will gradually disappear and you will never catch a single fish again."
This was a simple and easy-to-understand comparison. The tribesmen thought about it one after another. Even the dumbest people would understand it now.
Su Yun saw that the tribesmen suddenly realized and understood it, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
He touched Xiaohu's head again and said softly, "Child, I will release the small fish now. When the fish grow up in the future, you will be able to eat big fish."
"Then I won't eat the small fish. Priest, you should release the small fish." Xiaohu bit his finger and said with shining eyes.
"Yes, priest, we have wronged you!"
"Sorry!"
"Priest..."
The other tribesmen apologized one after another. When they thought of their previous complaints about the priest's ideas, they couldn't help but feel guilty and uncomfortable. They
also secretly blamed themselves for being superficial and not thinking as far as the priest.
"Life contains profound truths. You should think more about things when you encounter them."
Su Yun didn't care about their previous appearance and continued, "For example, today's incident can also be applied to other places."
"Just like when you hunt, if you kill all the prey at once, will there be less food? But you should know that if you do this, you can still kill prey in the future?"
He taught step by step, "You can't just focus on the present, only seek immediate benefits, and not make long-term plans."
As soon as these words containing profound truths came out, the tribesmen fell into deep thought.
They thought about the examples given by Su Yun, and they all understood and felt that these words made sense.
The more they thought about it, the more they looked at Su Yun who said these words, and their eyes flashed with admiration.
"The priest is so smart, he knows so much, so amazing!" Xiaohu said with shining eyes.
"It turns out that these things we didn't pay attention to have so many truths!"
Shitou scratched his head, and listened to the priest's words and couldn't help but compare some things. The more he compared, the more he realized the priest's power and secretly admired him.
Qing and Liaoya, who were standing by, had a flash of understanding in their eyes.
Everyone looked at the priest in admiration.
Su Yun shook his head and couldn't help but smile.
Since the matter was over, he just thought about it and returned the body to the old priest.
When the old priest came back to his senses, he was dumbfounded by the various praises and admiration coming from his ears.
After he figured out everything that happened by asking around, he couldn't help but panic when he heard the praises in his ears.
He knew in his heart that these words were probably said by the great god, and he couldn't think of these words himself. While he was worshiping, he was also a little tormented.
The leader on the side couldn't help but patted the priest on the shoulder and muttered, "I didn't expect that you, an old guy, could say such amazing words. How did you come up with them?"
"Priest, you..."
"Priest..."
Listening to the praises of the tribesmen in his ears, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back for the old priest, and he almost collapsed.
So, he could no longer care about anything, and hurriedly explained, "Don't say anything, these words are not what I thought, they were told to me by the great God, I just repeated them."
As he said that, he smiled bitterly and waved his hands to reject the praise of the tribesmen.
If he continued to talk, he felt that he would be ashamed to go into the cave.
When the tribesmen heard it, they were stunned.
