"Hey, don't say it, I slept in a hammock yesterday and had a sore back and legs, but now I feel much more comfortable and feel light." The fat man just chewed it a few times, and he began to react, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, or if it was the first time he touched this thing, and the reaction was relatively strong. Hong Tao chewed for a long time, as if he felt that because of the excessive fishing force two days ago, the arm with a little muscle strain was no longer so painful, and he didn't feel anything else.

"Isn't chewing this a drug here?" Hong Tao is still not very relieved.

"I'm afraid it's a bit of a hassle to chew in front of the police, but we've been eating these things since our ancestors, and no one cares about them, and these coca leaves are not grown here, they are bought from further upstream. You probably haven't been to Bolivia, where coca leaves are already made into a drink and sold in stores. Have you ever drunk Coca-Cola? After Anaya chewed on the coca leaf, she obviously talked more.

"Drunk!" Hong Tao probably guessed what he was going to say.

"There's coca leaves in there, and it's not pure, they use the residue of coca leaves after extraction." Anaya was sure that he had revealed the secret of Coca-Cola, and he didn't know where he had heard about it.

After a while, the sturgeon also came in with a large otter carved of mahogany, which he had bought from the old man for six reais, which, according to him, cost much more than the old man's workmanship.

Just as everyone was chewing coca leaves and chatting, another villager walked in outside the door, first said a few words to the village chief, and then said hello to Hong Tao and the three of them in English, and walked out of the house.

"He is the only child in this village who has ever gone to school, I told the village chief, you want to go elephant fishing, the village chief specially arranged for him to be our guide, he went to prepare first, we went to the river to wait for him." Anaya explained to Hong Tao and the others the arrangements that followed. Then he took the lead in getting up and saying goodbye to the village chief.

In order to thank the village chief for his hospitality, Hong Tao and the three of them gave the chocolates, snacks, and flashlights in their backpacks to the Indian children outside the house.

However, they did not scatter the gifts in vain, and after obtaining the permission of the village chief, the sturgeon carried a camera to photograph the inside and outside of the village, and specially asked the old man who carved mahogany to show his skills, and in a few minutes, he used a small carving knife to carve a small piece of wood into a very sturgeon-style head. Although it looks rough, every detail is very expressive.

"Wood is good wood, the carving content is a little stumbling, and it is ruined!" Fat Man Bu bought the fist-sized statue for 10 reais, and he said that it would be put in the bathroom to ward off evil spirits.

When I returned to the little pier, the Indian who had gone to school was already waiting there, his name was Gu Aru, and he also learned English in the church school, and I don't know if it was because of the living environment or because of the race. He looks like he's in his 30s, but he's actually just 24 years old, and he's not married yet, so he's a little too anxious.

Guaru has a canoe of his own and can do 2 or 3 people. It was agreed that Fat Bu would be more suitable to share a boat with him, while Anaya followed them in another canoe carrying Hong Tao and the sturgeon.

According to Gu Alu's introduction, the main food of elephant fish is all kinds of small fish in the water, especially a kind of black piranha. So if you want to catch an elephant, you have to catch a few of these black piranhas as bait. This black piranha is not very numerous and is not as easy to catch as white piranhas. So he first took everyone to the nearby woods that were flooded with smoke to try their luck and see if they could catch this black piranha.

The local Indians were not into fishing, they preferred to fish with spears, and Guaru was no exception, with two harpoons more than a meter long in his canoe. The harpoons were not quite the same as those used by Anaya, and for the first time Hong Tao had seen them, their heads were not forked, sharp steel forks, but finger-length, barbed needles.

The needle was not firmly attached to the stick behind the harpoon, but was movable, it was just stuck in a groove in front of the stick with a rope attached to it. After Gu Alu's simple explanation, Hong Tao immediately understood its principle.

It is not a harpoon in the ordinary sense, but like a whaling fork launched from a whaling ship, when the harpoon is inserted into the body of a large fish, the needle at the head of the harpoon will fall off the harpoon, and then use the barb to get stuck tightly in the body of the fish, the owner of the harpoon will tie the rope attached to the needle to the canoe, and then use the weight of the hull to slip the fish through the oars, and finally catch the big fish.

Moreover, this harpoon was a tool used by the Indians to catch large fish such as elephant fish, and ordinary individual fish did not use such a troublesome way, and generally used fishing nets to catch them.

After catching the bait was going well, Guaru led the group to a forest flooded by the river, and then laid his fishing net between the trunks of several trees, and rowed further into the woods. After rowing a few dozen meters, he turned around and rowed back, and at the same time let the fat man cloth hit the hull with the oars, making a thumping sound.

The water here is not deep, and on the surface there is no movement of fish in the water, but when the fat cloth knocks on the hull of the boat, the water leading to the main river channel is lively, and a large group of small fish are frightened, scrambling to escape into the river, and some of them are caught in the fishing nets set up in advance by Gu Aru, and some remind the slightly larger fish to struggle desperately directly on the net, and the fishing nets are all disturbed.

There are more than 20 small fish of all kinds, but most of them are trash fish such as piranha and bagu fish, and there are only 3 black piranhas that are really needed. But it doesn't matter, shallow woods like this one are flooded by rivers everywhere, and it doesn't take much effort to change a few more places and get together a bucket of black piranhas.

It is said that it is called black piranha, or black piranha, but in fact, they have such a hated name on their backs, and they do not eat meat at all, but feed on the bark of those submerged tree trunks, and the reason why they are called black piranhas is entirely because of their mouth full of triangular sharp teeth, which looks more ferocious than the real piranha.

Because this fish feeds on the bark for a long time, it has the smell of bark in its body, and it is not clear what the specific bark tastes like Hong Tao, anyway, Anaya said that no one eats this fish, they are stinky.

Humans don't like to eat black piranhas, but elephant fish treat them as a good meal, but it is not easy for elephant fish to eat black piranhas, because this kind of fish basically lives in the woods flooded by the river, and it is difficult for fish of the size of elephant fish to enter those areas, so once they find the traces of black piranha in the river, they will definitely not say a word, and come up with a mouthful.

Now I have a suitable bait, but I still can't catch the elephant fish smoothly, the reason is very simple, saying it makes Hong Tao grit his teeth and hate, because there are too many fish in the river, and the bait is put down like this before the elephant fish finds out, it is eaten up by other fish, so I have to think of a way.

Gu Aru's method is very simple, he put a large piece of elephant fish meat with him with a rope, and then sink into the water, from time to time to mention a few times, as long as he finds something similar to a piranha gnawing on this piece of meat, he rows away, and tries as he goes, when this piece of meat sinks and there are no or few fish to gnaw, then you can throw the black piranha and the hook down, because the elephant fish does not eat the meat of its own kind, and in the waters where there are elephant fish, other small fish are scared away, and there is no fish to gnaw on this piece of meat.

"Alright, let's take the bait!" After trying a few places, Gu Aru suddenly picked up the piece of meat that had been bitten up, and then issued an attack order to the Hong Tao who was about to move.

"Puff, puff......" Before Gu Aru's voice fell, Hong Tao and the three of them had already thrown the bait down.

The hook of this black piranha is also unique, with the hook being threaded through the tail of the fish, which, according to Guaru, allows the black piranha to swim slower and still keep them alive. The most important thing is that the tail of the fish has the most abundant blood vessels, as long as they swim in the water, there will be a strange smell of fish blood flowing out of the wound, even if the fish is a few hundred meters away, they can taste this favorite taste, and then do not hesitate to rush over to feast.

However, Hong Tao still hung more than 1 pound of live fish for the first time as bait, after he threw the bait down, the fish pulled the fishing line under the water and kept swimming towards the river, the force was quite large, so that Hong Tao had to forcibly reel the line many times, pull it back, so as not to wrap the fishing line around the foreign body underwater.

I don't know how the fat man went to the fairy to give a generous gift before he went abroad, his luck was simply bursting, all the serious fish were his first medium fish, and the big beetle also fell directly to his belly, this time was no exception, just when Hong Tao and the sturgeon let the live bait in the water mix tirelessly, the fat man's fishing rod was directly pulled into a bow, not only the fishing rod was bent, the whole canoe was pulled, just like a propeller, towards the middle of the river on the past.

"Silly X!" Hong Tao and the sturgeon looked at each other, and then made an evaluation of the fat man's good luck in unison, and then continued to stare at his fishing rod without raising his head.

Although I was really envious, jealous and hateful in my heart, Hong Tao and Sturgeon didn't want to help the fat man Buyu, but everyone was no longer on the same canoe, so they could only help (to be continued......
