The Survival of the Wild Tribe

Lu Zhan didn't plan to go out. Although Luo Zhen seemed to be back to normal now, he still couldn't rest assured.

This breakfast was the first time Luo Zhen had eaten more than Lu Zhan. After eating, he planned to go to Axue’s house to see the injured staghorn horse. Last night, Lu Zhan said that the other party’s wound had cracked again. Luo Zhen was still a little worried.

It seems that there has been a little snow in the past two days. Lu Zhan took a new animal skin cloak from the mother-in-law and put it on Luo Zhen. As long as the cape of the cloak is worn, there is no need to worry about snowflakes getting into the clothes when it snows. went.

"Now that there are not many animal skins? Why did you make a cloak for me again?"

"You are afraid of the cold."

Luo Zhen looked at each other amusedly, and said in disapproval: "Although you can occasionally run out to hunt, winter is still very long, and there are still many places to use animal skins in the future. I have two sets of clothes that I can change and wash. No need to waste animal skins to make new ones for me."

"I hunted these animal skins back."

Luo Zhen pushed open the wooden door, and a cold wind came in, but he was dressed thickly, and there was a cloak that could cover his whole person, but he didn't feel cold, "Did you forget that you are now the leader of the tribe? Yes? If you give me all the things you hunted back, it would be bad for those who can't go out hunting. You are a leader and a warrior, and you should take more care of your people."

Lu Zhan pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Great Witch, you're awake." A Qing holding a big wooden bow was about to find a place to practice. As soon as he went out, he saw Luo Zhen and the two people, and they rushed over in surprise. His voice was already loud, and the rest was waiting. When the people in the room heard Ah Qing's words, they also pushed the door out.

"Great Witch." A Shui rushed over and hugged Luo Zhen's thigh tightly. He watched Luo Zhen fall in front of him with his own eyes, and always blamed himself deeply for not taking good care of the Great Witch.

"Great Witch, are you okay?" The crowd surrounded Luo Zhen, and Luo Zhen's heart was warmed by the unconcealed worry on his face.

"I'm fine, sorry, I worried you." Luo Zhen glanced around the crowd apologetically.

"Da Wu, I am very worried about you." Ahua raised her head and looked at Luo Zhen, her big round eyes still carrying obvious water vapor.

Luo Zhen bent over and picked him up, "Sorry, Da Wu scared you."

A Hua shook her head gently, "As long as the big witch is fine."

Luo Zhen smiled, and exchanged a few words with everyone. After everyone confirmed that Luo Zhen was really okay, they dispersed to do their own things.

"I have dealt with the injury of the staghorn horse. I change the dressing for it every day. Apart from lack of energy, there is nothing wrong with it." Axue said to the other side while taking Luo Zhen to her home.

"Why not energetic? Are you hungry?"

Axue shook her head. She carefully looked at Lu Zhan who was behind her, "I dig grass roots for it every day. Heifu also brings some evergreen leaves back when he goes out on patrol. It may be antlers. The horse's four hooves are all **** and can't move, so it's not very energetic." Axue guessed.

"Tied up?" Luo Zhen looked at her suspiciously.

Axue coughed slightly. She didn't have the idea of ​​tying the staghorn horse. Later, when the staghorn horse was sent to her, she wanted to untie the rope. Who knew that the staghorn horse wanted to go out the door. , No way, she can only continue to tie it.

Axue's wooden house and Luo Zhen's house were separated by a house, a few steps away.

Before Luo Zhen entered the room, he heard a mournful "yell" sound. He paused before moving forward.

The staghorn horse lies not far from the door. Luo Zhen can see it as soon as he enters. It is still covered with smashed herbs. Its four hooves are tied tightly as Axue said. The staghorn horse only Can maintain a side-lying posture.

Probably after hearing the opening of the door, the staghorn horse raised its head with difficulty. Before the word "吆" was spoken, his eyes were full-rounded, regardless of the restrained hooves, he crawled towards Luo Zhen's direction.

Luo Zhen wondered about the antler horse's over-enthusiastic attitude towards him, but for the sake of the other's wounds, he took a few steps to stop the antler horse's movements.

"Your injury isn't healed yet, don't move around casually."

The staghorn horse didn't know if he understood Luo Zhen's words, and as expected, he didn't move anymore, only stuck out his tongue and licked Luo Zhen's hand that had fallen on him.

Luo Zhen first checked the wound on the other party's body. After a few days of recuperation, the wound has healed a lot. It will be sent back to the antlers' territory in a few days, hoping that the other party will not go with the giant antlers. Complain that you were **** when you were here.

"I'll untie the rope for you, you can't move around by the way, okay?" Luo Zhen tried to communicate with the staghorn horse.

The staghorn horse raised his head and yelled "yes", like a response to Luo Zhen's words.

The rope was tied up, and Luo Zhen didn't untie it for a long time. In the end, he couldn't help but cut it directly with a bone knife.

"Do you want to take it back?" Lu Zhan was obviously dissatisfied that such a huge creature was kept in the house. He reached out in disgust and clicked on the huge antlers of the staghorn horse, and was turned away by the staghorn horse.

Luo Zhen was only planning to visit the staghorn horse. If the staghorn horse and Axue get along well, maybe the other party can become Axue’s mount in advance, but now looking at the stickiness of the staghorn horse towards him, It seems that it won't work if you don't take it back.

"Take it back first. You can send it back when its wounds are almost healed." Their agreement with the giant staghorn horse only started in spring, and they didn't have any preparations for this winter. With the food intake of the staghorn horse, To feed them is a bit too reluctant for the people in the tribe.

"Axue, are the grass roots you dug out that day still?" Luo Zhen came over this time to ask Axue about carrots. At that time, he wanted to see the suspected carrots dug by Axue. To confirm it, who knew that he fainted when he touched the white thing, and it was too late to confirm whether it was a radish or not.

Axue shook her head. She pointed to the staghorn horse and said, "I'm not here anymore. I'll feed it all to the staghorn horse."

The antler horse had a good impression of Axue who had been feeding him for a few days. Seeing Axue stretched her finger to point at herself, and gently nudged each other with her antlers, Axue also smiled and touched it back gently.

"Then you dug up that kind of white roots?" The appearance of the radish was very different from other grass roots. Luo Zhen only briefly described it, and Axue remembered what the other party was referring to.

"No, I only dug that one."

Luo Zhen asked suspiciously, "Isn't there still one in the hole you dug before?" He thought that Axue had eaten it all by the antlers, but didn't he even dig it? If they didn't dig, at least they would have one left. Luo Zhen had a bit of joy on her face, and she regretted that she forgot to explain that Axue wanted to save the carrot before she fell into a coma.

"There is one." Axue's tone was a little strange, "but when I went back later, the white root was gone."

"Gone?"

"Yeah." Axue nodded, "I had already dug halfway at the time, so I can't remember it wrong, but it did disappear afterwards."

Could it be that the radish will run away with long legs? Now I can't tell if the radish that has not been dug up was eaten by something, or it is missing as Axue said. Luo Zhen intends to go and take a look in person.

First carried the staghorn horse back to Luo Zhen's house, and then the group walked behind the house where the grassroots were dug before. A Shui and A Hua remembered that the place where Luo Zhen fainted, and they followed each other step by step. Beside him, for fear that Luo Zhen suddenly fell to the ground again.

Lu Zhan originally didn't agree with Luo Zhen to dig grass roots. He just woke up. Lu Zhan was anxious to let him stay at home and don't go anywhere. At most, just make some food. Do not touch any other tasks, but Luo Zhen insisted. He would not forcefully stop the digging of those carrots. He would only take the bone **** over by himself, and he could do it when he was about to dig something. Luo Zhen could hold his hands and watch.

It turned out that the place where the grass roots were dug was a lot bigger by Axue in the past two days. Now the land has been upturned and mixed with snow. After being trampled on, it looks a bit dirty. If the weather doesn't allow it, Luo Zhen really wants to organize the loosened soil into vegetable plots and plant crops.

Lu Zhan and Axue worked together to clear out a large area of ​​the surrounding snow. Luo Zhen looked at the dry grass roots under the snow, and could not tell whether there was a radish crop nearby. Those radish leaves said Uncertainty has long since fallen off and rotted away because of being buried by snow for too long.

"Start digging from here?" Lu Zhan pointed to the land under his feet.

Luo Zhen didn't know if there was any in this place, "Then start digging here first."

It is not easy to dig out grass roots from the frozen soil in winter. Luo Zhen does not want to embarrass Lu Zhan. If there are no radishes in this newly cleaned place, then he will give up and wait for spring. It will be much easier to recognize when the radish leaves grow back.

However, their luck was too bad. They dug a lot of foundations when they built the house, and they had never dug up a plant like radish, or even other plants suitable for edible roots.

Others did not allow Luo Zhen to do anything. Luo Zhen was stopped several times, and could only helplessly stand aside, staring at the movements of a few people with a pair of eyes.

Lu Zhan's strength is great. This kind of hardness of frozen soil is not a difficult task for him. Basically, a bone **** can bring up a piece of soil. Luo Zhen is worried about how many bone **** will be scrapped after the other party digs this place.

Because Luo Zhen had explained not to dig out the radish all at once, and several people were very careful in their actions. They had to stop and check after digging a few hoes, so the speed was not fast.

The animal skin backpack he brought was already filled with various plant roots. Luo Zhen looked at the sky. It was past noon, and was about to greet others to stop, but saw Lu Zhan beckon to himself. Luo Zhen, come and see if this is a carrot."

Axue stopped when he heard the words and walked over.

Luo Zhen watched Lu Zhan carefully peeling away the soil in front of him, and in the brown soil package, he saw a white root exposed.
