Chapter 12: An Unprecedented Harvest

More than half a year ago, Wang Wei taught the tribesmen a skill to fish with a maze. This was how to use a rope net to form a small maze, so that the fish could only swim forward, not backward, and can then be easily caught.

The principle of the net array was actually very simple.

The opening at the entrance of the net array was very large, and the smaller it went inward, the final gap could only allow a fish to just squeeze through. In this way, the fish could only swim forward, and couldn’t turn even if they want to turn around.

But in the middle of the net array was a very wide space, but there were nets all around, and the fish could only recognize people to catch it when they swim here.

Obviously this method of fishing was very effective.

At this moment, there were many of this net formations in the pond in front of them, and many tribesmen were running back and forth in the pond, driving the fish into the net formation.

“Look, it’s young master Wang.” Some sharp-eyed clansmen suddenly shouted loudly when they saw the three of Wang Wei’s group approaching them.

.....

As a stone stirred up a thousand waves, so also, and almost everyone in the pond immediately shifted their sights to the people coming . Some were saying their greetings, while some were whistling to the Qiu sisters.

A burly man with a cold face, heard the shout, and he slowly drew up from the river with a harpoon. This person only wore a pair of coarse cloth shorts. It was the patriarch of the ironwood tribe, Wang Mu Tuo.

“Father.” Wang Wei always had an inexplicable excitement whenever he saw the people hunting.

When he came to Mu Tuo’s side, Wang Wei couldn’t help asking excitedly. “Father, how’s the day going?”

Mu Hao nodded and said with a smile. “Well, the harvest is not bad. Thanks to my son’s contribution. Now, my people always get a lot when fishing.”

For his son’s cleverness and intelligence, Mu Tuo was always surprised, but also infinitely proud of him.

At this time, six or seven, ten-year-old children ran around Wang Wei, blabbing about his fish catching achievements.Some people carried their own small bamboo basket to Wang Wei to show him what they had caught.

Of course, more children were empty-handed and caught nothing.

Suddenly, one of the children carrying a small bamboo basket asked Wang Wei. “Brother Wang Wei, you are so smart, is there any good way for us to catch the big fish?”

Obviously this child was very concerned about what he had caught. He was not satisfied with the little fish he caught.

After hearing this, the other children also started to roar. These little guys obviously wanted to do something proud in front of the adults.

“Let me think about it.” Wang Wei looked at the river, concentrating on it. Suddenly his eyes lit up, obviously he had come up with an idea.

“Sisters, can you send someone to my yurt to get the rope-net from yesterday?”

“Let me go and get it for you.” Qiu Hong said, turning to leave.

“Then, don’t mind the trouble, sister.” Wang Wei said to the two guardian sisters of his before turning to a group of friends. “At the same time, see if you can find some long ropes, a few dead woods and stones. And also sister, the dead wood should have arm thickness, not too thin, not too thick, and it must be able to float on the water. For stones... just look for the size of the wooden egg’s head.”

Talking of the wooden egg’s head, he pointed to one of the children’s head, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.

Another older child hugged Mudan’s head and shouted. “Wang Wei, I found a piece of the right size.”

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter.

After everyone laughed, Wang Wei couldn’t help but wave his hand. “Thank you sister, I’ll be waiting here for your return.”

After that, he strolled along the river pond with Qiu Shuang, and would regularly say his greetings to the tribesmen..

A few minutes later, the scattered children ran back one by one. Wood and stones were laid out on the ground. Qiu Hong also brought everything he had asked.

Wang Wei asked everyone to open the net first, and saw that the length of the net was more than ten meters long, and the width was about ten meters. It was a big net. It was no wonder that Wang Wei wanted to use it to catch monsters. Generally, if smaller monsters were caught by this net, they would definitely not be able to run away.

Wang Wei first asked everyone to tie the wood evenly on the long side of the net, and then let everyone tie the stones evenly on the other side, and finally tied the four corners of the net with long ropes.

Looking at his hand work, Wang Wei couldn’t help shouting excitedly. “Okay, we’re done.”

After Wang Wei tied the big net, everyone suddenly felt puzzled looking at such a strange thing. Some adults also looked around curiously. Obviously they didn’t understand what Wang Wei could do with such a thing.

They saw Wang Wei divided the adults and children present into four groups. First, he let the two groups of people pull the ropes at the two corners of the net with the stone and open the net outside the pond.

Soon, the net was pulled into the water. The stones on the net brought up billowing sand under the water, and the pool water suddenly became muddy. The net on the side with the dead wood was pulled by the dead wood and floated above the water.

Then, Wang Wei immediately ordered the other two groups to pull the rope tied with the dead wood and straighten the rope. After the order was given, the four groups together pulled the rope from one end of the river pond to the other.

They saw a few large dead trees tied by nets, into a row, pulling an arc across the water quickly. They brought up a drain line.

And a few meters in front of this row of dead wood, the other side of the net was pressed by rocks on the bottom of the water and it slid forward quickly under the water, bringing up the rolling mud, holding a long turbidity behind the net.

The tail wave.

The tribesmen standing in the pond spearing fish couldn’t help frowning, because when the water was muddy, the shadow of the big fish could not be seen. But because it was Wang Wei who was instructing everyone to pull the net, these people were helpless. So they stepped aside to watch the excitement.

Soon, the net was pulled from one end of the river pond to the other by a large group of people. Everyone who pulled the net deeply understood that the net was getting more and more difficult, so that the people who came to watch the event also helped to pull it together, and the speed did not slow down.

When the net was pulled ashore from the other side of the river pond, everyone present was shocked.

Weeping gods!

What was this situation? They saw hundreds of fish in the nets. And all of them were big fish that were more than a foot long. The smaller fish obviously slipped out of the mesh.

The surrounding clansmen ran over from all directions, and they were also shocked by the sight in front of them. Dozens of people started catching fish early in the morning, and it had been almost two hours since Wang Wei caught as many fish in just a few minutes.

Wang Mu Tuo walked to his son’s side, patted his son on the shoulder excitedly, and shouted to the tribe: “Now everyone, collect the fish quickly, follow my son’s method, and net a few more times.”

“Yes!” everyone agreed, shouted, and then scattered on their own, one by one, eager to try.

Sure enough, there were so many people and great strength. With the participation of so many people, the nets were quickly pulled back and forth in the river pond, making the originally clear river pond muddy.

The harvest was unprecedented.
