The Survival of the Wild Tribe

Because of Acao’s matter, the hunting team returned to the tribe early. The food needed at the bonfire was naturally not hunted. The birth of the new orc warrior was not only Luo Zhen, but everyone in the tribe was very happy. The tribe There is a large dirt road separating the two rows of wooden houses. The width of the two carriages is estimated to be more than excellent.

Lu Zhan simply waved his hand and moved the location of the bonfire to this dirt road. Even if Acao and Heiji could not come out to participate, as long as the wooden door was opened, they could feel the atmosphere of joy and celebration, and as long as they walked along the dirt road Just light the fire, there is no need to light another big fire like before.

Now the number of animals hunted by the tribe has increased. In addition to the usual food, the animal fats that are usually boiled out have a lot of surplus. In addition, Luo Zhen has also found rushes in the nearby mountains. He has tried several times. He got out the oil lamp after many times.

Luo Zhen simply rubbed some rough wicks, found some small stone pots, filled them with grease and placed them in front of the door of each wooden house, and lit the wicks after dark. Although the light would be weaker, it was better than The ignition pot at the door is always bright.

During this period of time, by eating animal liver, wild vegetables and the like, many ordinary people with night blindness have improved their vision at night. Now in order to save firewood, as long as they don’t need to cook or eat at night, most of them People choose to light oil lamps.

It's a pity that Luo Zhen didn't find ash trees nearby, otherwise he could try to make candles.

All the people who fell were prepared together. The speed was much faster. Lu Zhan took people to the Riyao River to medicine a few fish back. The two big horned deer in the animal shed were pulled out and slaughtered as the staple food tonight, the big horned deer for one year. It will appear in the mountains in all seasons. Just slaughter and catch new ones. The main animals Luo Zhen wants to domesticate are those goats and sheep, as well as some wild boars and bisons that have been domesticated in his original world. The successful animals, even the fast-breeding rabbits, have more than a dozen.

"Da Wu, do you want to stew cuckoo birds for younger brother?" A Hua took Luo Zhen's hand and asked curiously. Those cuckoo birds have been raised for a winter, and they are never willing to eat. Birds are only used to lay eggs.

"No, it's to replenish your mother's body." Luo Zhen smiled and stroked her little head.

"But those cuckoo birds have no meat and have a lot of hair. If you want to replenish their bodies, why don't the great witches eat meat for Ah Cao?" According to Ah Shui's knowledge, cuckoo birds can only eat bird eggs, and they eat meat. In order to have strength, birds like cuckoo birds that are either hair or bones, unless they are hungry, otherwise they won't appear in Ah Shui's recipe at all.

Luo Zhen smiled, but didn't answer. These people don't like birds just because birds can't directly peel their skins like other animals. But in fact, these hairy things can be washed with just one swipe of boiling water. The feathers all over were cleaned up.

The small wooden house where the cuckoo bird is raised is not far from the animal shed. The height is half shorter than the wooden house where they live. The space is not large, and you have to bow slightly when you enter the door. There are a few warriors busy in the animal shed. Luo Zhen and them Saying hello, they walked in with the two children.

Rows of wooden cages are stacked around the cabin. Each wooden cage contains a pair of cuckoo birds. Inside there is a bird nest with animal skins for the cuckoo birds to lay eggs, as well as food and water. The wooden container for cuckoo birds now is not just chopped meat, most of them are weeds cut from outside the tribe, chopped up and mixed with some meat foam, and it becomes a cuckoo. New feed for the birds.

In addition to these pairs of cuckoos, there are two large wooden cages filled with single cuckoos without a partner. At the beginning, Luo Zhen took a lot of thought to distinguish whether they are in pairs. , Cuckoos without a partner can't lay eggs, and now Luo Zhen's goal is the fat-growing cuckoos in these two cages.

Luo Zhen squatted in front of the cage and selected for most of the day, and finally selected a male cuckoo bird with a few white feathers on the tip. Even after being raised for so long, the nature of the cuckoo bird is still afraid of people, and will only know how to shudder to the side when things happen, and will not raise a peck to fight back when encountering an enemy like those pheasants. I caught the cuckoo bird I had chosen.

"Great Witch, a cuckoo bird died here."

Luo Zhen, who was about to greet the two children to leave, heard the words and looked over. I don’t know when they were squatting in a corner and looking at something. Seeing Luo Zhen looking over, Ah Shui waved to him and motioned Luo Zhen to come. Take a look.

It is a relatively remote corner. For light, two large windows are opened on the left and right of the cabin. Only here is not exposed to light, and it is just between the two cages. People who come in to feed the cuckoo birds are not. Will pay special attention to here.

Lying on the ground is a small cuckoo bird. Its two small claws are stretched straight and motionless. At first glance, it looks like it is dead, but as long as you look carefully, you will find the other's small claws. His chest was still undulating slightly.

Luo Zhen bent over and picked up the little cuckoo bird. There was a handful of cut off feathers on its head, indicating that this was the batch that was hatched with bird eggs in winter, because it was not mature enough to find a mate. Luo Zhen locked them with the single cuckoos, and didn't know how this little cuckoo squeezed through the gap in the wooden cage and ran out.

Luo Zhen poked the little cuckoo's body with his finger, without any reaction, as if he was really dead, but the warm touch in his hand told him that the little cuckoo was still alive.

"Da Wu, there is a hole here." A Hua pointed to a small hole the size of a fist and exclaimed.

Luo Zhen looked at it. He didn't know how long the hole had been dug. The surrounding soil was dry, and there were a lot of traces of bird claws on it. Could it be that the cuckoo bird in his hand made it? It seems that this is not the first time that Little Cuckoo has escaped.

Luo Zhen also didn’t know if other cuckoo birds had escaped from this mud hole besides the cuckoo bird in his hand, but it was obvious that the little cuckoo bird also knew how to return to the log cabin, which made him secretly let it go. Minded.

He blocked the hole first, tied the little cuckoo's paw with a rope and rushed to the wooden bar of the cage, and then took the cuckoo who was going to stew the soup and left with the two children.

Luo Zhen’s fire was placed in front of Acao’s house, and water was already boiling on it. He asked Axue to help bring the boiled water to a place specially used to kill the prey, and put the cuckoo bird in its blood. I put it in boiling water and wandered around several times, until the hair on it fell off in one stroke, and then I took it out.

It was the first time Axue saw someone deal with a cuckoo like this, and she couldn't help being surprised when she saw Luo Zhen clean up the entire cuckoo's hair in a few minutes.

Dig out all the internal organs and throw them away. The cuckoo is not very big. It is too troublesome to deal with these internal organs. Now they don’t lack food, Luo Zhen doesn’t bother to handle these things, but after cleaning the feathers, he finds a basket to dry. The feathers of birds are very useful. The bows and arrows they usually use, the feather pens made by Luo Zhen, and even the clothes or quilts made by Luo Zhen can be used when the number is large.

The whole cuckoo bird was placed in a small stone pot, without water, Luo Zhen added two slices of **** to it, and also cut a fingernail-sized Tai Sui into it. The few bamboo shoots that Luo Zhen brought back before are now alive and start to grow green bamboo leaves, but because of the small number, Luo Zhen only picks one piece for the chasing wind to eat every three days, and the other antlers need it. Luo Zhen planned to provide them with bamboo leaves after the entire small bamboo forest had fully grown up.

But this time he was generous. He directly picked five or six leaves from the bamboo with crystalline fruit and put them in the cuckoo soup. Now he has a little understanding of life energy and knows how these things are right. Humans have a great effect, and now Acao has just finished producing, it's time to use these things to make up for the body.

It takes a lot of effort to stew the soup. Seeing that there is nothing he needs to do for the time being, Luo Zhen sent A Shui to help look at the cuckoo soup, so he planned to go to the back of the cabin to take a look, and let the little cuckoo bird. The danger of falling into a dead state, Luo Zhen couldn't feel at ease without finding out what exactly it was.

Of course, for safety, Luo Zhen still went to call Lu Zhan.

Luo Zhen showed the dead cuckoo bird to Lu Zhan. Lu Zhan couldn't help frowning, his expression became serious, and he followed Luo Zhen vigilantly and walked behind the cabin.

The little mud hole is not difficult to find. At the moment, the sky is still dark. Luo Zhen soon discovered the abnormality. They found a lot of broken petals in the grass. The land around the wooden house has been sorted out by Luo Zhen. Once again, there was no such kind of flower that looked like some kind of fruit tree.

"It's a wild peony." Luo Zhen twisted a flower and looked at it carefully, and came up with the answer. The wild peony is one of the earliest blooming varieties in the basin. Their flowering period is also long. Luo Zhen has also picked a little blanched water for use. There are not many wild peony trees, and Luo Zhen still wants to wait for it to bear fruit before picking the fruit, so after only eating it once, he stopped.

I didn't expect that this kind of petals would still be seen here.

It didn’t take long for the two of them to discover the source of the petals. Before Luo Zhen could examine it carefully, Lu Zhan next to him picked him up and stepped back for several steps. Gloomy, "flaming ants."

Luo Zhenshun Lu Zhan's gaze looked over, and he saw some fiery red figures rushing through the dense grass. It seemed that he felt the approach of human beings. The flame ants that were still sprinting all stopped. , Only the two tentacles on his head swayed slowly, as if watching these two uninvited guests.

"They actually built a nest here?"

Lu Zhan looked at the already-formed ant nest. These little things hadn't been found after moving under his eyelids for so long, but he couldn't blame him. He hadn't been able to transform into a human form some time ago. Many things are naturally not meticulous enough.

"What to do? Do you want to kill them all? Or just drive them away?" Luo Zhen still remembers how Lu Zhan was injured by the flame ants. He didn't think what this harmless little ant would be. Something to deal with.

Lu Zhan shook his head. The number of ants in an ant nest is more than tens of thousands, and not all of them will be obediently hiding in the nest waiting for humans to eliminate them. Flame ants are the most cunning ants in the world. In addition, their small size is fast and flexible, hiding in the grass and soil, it is not easy for you to find them all.

As long as the flame ants escape, they will retaliate. At that time, their small sun tribe will not be able to develop well. It is enough to deal with this colony of ants.

Luo Zhen obviously thought of this too. The ant nest is too close to their wooden house. Their wooden house can’t keep ants away. If you leave these dangerous little things in the tribe, it doesn’t matter to the people in the tribe. The various animals domesticated in the tribe are a big threat. He still remembers Lu Zhan telling him that these flame ants can instantly gnaw off an adult bison.

Before the two of them could react, the flame ants outside the nest quickly gathered together, and some flame ants crawled back into the ant nest to look for other companions. Slowly, more and more ants crawled out. I don't know if these flame ants were the same batch that Lu Zhan had taken out of the ant nest. When they faced Lu Zhan, they looked like they were about to pounce on them and bite.

But when they turned to Luo Zhen, they showed a joyful mood.
