From Chief to Ball

After seeing a few heads, they kept chasing after them.

Both deer and goats are much faster than humans, but far inferior in terms of endurance.

Both deer and goats are ruminants, and they need to stop to regurgitate the grass in their stomachs into their mouths to chew again. If they run for a long time, they will have no time to regurgitate the forage, or they will be bloated to death, or exhausted.

Before the appearance of humans, these ruminant animals became the most powerful herbivore population. They chewed a few mouthfuls without chewing, digested when there were no enemies, and ran away when there were enemies. It is a pity that they encountered hairless monsters. The frightening hunter finally found his weakness.

In his memory, Chen Jiancai realized that hunting in this era was not as he imagined in his previous life. Throwing a spear at a disagreement was only used when hunting large animals. Nowadays, the large animals nearby are almost eaten up. If you want to hunt deer and sheep, what you need is a competition of endurance.

No animal can be more patient than humans. The word hunting can only be mastered by hunters who rely on intelligence rather than instinct.

It's just that before the invention of bow and arrow, the success rate was not high.So during yesterday's hunt, the tribe had no choice but to snatch half of the goat from the leopard's mouth. Although the leopard was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do.

Based on past experience, my uncle found a few with the best stamina, prepared to disperse the herd, and chased one of them down until it lay down to rest.

Because Chen Jian was hunting for the second time, he was the kind of spectator player who shouted in a circle, and his cousin wolf skin was the main force in chasing and fleeing.

When the division of labor was clear and it was time to start, the uncle's leather pants were grabbed by Chen Jian.

Chen Jian spoke out his plan, and naturally added the words of the black and white bear's guidance.

Everyone glanced at the dead bird on their backs. Out of respect for the unknown and recognition of bows and arrows, they finally decided to follow Chen Jian's arrangement.

Ten people quietly walked around to the opposite side of the herd of deer from a distance, and Chen Jian left a dozen people behind, holding the stone spears tightly in their hands, waiting for the opportunity.

After more than 20 minutes, those ten people suddenly rushed out from the opposite side, forming a semi-surrounding net.

The frightened herd of deer and goats frantically fled towards Chen Jian. Chen Jian drew his bow, and when the herd of deer and sheep approached, he suddenly shot a few arrows.

Because there are no hard arrows, it is okay to shoot birds, but it is far from enough to kill such a large animal with one arrow.

Shooting can't kill them, but it can hurt these animals.

After shooting all the feather arrows quickly, only two deer and three sheep were shot, and most of them were shot.

The sudden appearance of this group of people made the exhausted animals turn around immediately and run in the opposite direction. The mother animal tried to protect the cubs as much as possible. Those cubs that could not run immediately after birth had already died, and the rest were all It can run.

There are not many people in the tribe, and there are gaps everywhere, but with the roar of the people, these animals that originally gathered in groups can only choose to run away.

Chen Jian pointed to a deer with an arrow stuck in its leg, and shouted, "Chase!"

Cousin Langpi and two or three people ran towards the distance with Chen Jian, and the rest of them also chased the injured animals in groups.

The injured deer ran for a while, and when it opened the distance, it began to scream. The feather arrows on its legs expanded the wound during the running, and it continued to bleed.

The wolf fur yelled, so that the deer had no chance to rest at all, and the remaining few people went around in a big circle, driving the deer continuously.

This is the first time Chen Jian has personally experienced such hunting. Every time the deer has opened a safe distance, these people will rush over quickly, driving the deer in the direction of others, without giving the deer a rest time.

Even though the leg was injured, the deer still struggled for a long time, but unfortunately, the group of hairless monsters would use their brains to go around in circles, and finally couldn't support it, lying on the ground and breathing heavily.

Several people began to gather around from a distance, and the deer looked at the crowd in horror, trying to stand up again, but his limbs were trembling, and finally he couldn't hold on, completely gave up resistance, and wailed.

The wolfpi happily ran to the side of the deer, struggling to hold the deer's neck.

Chen Jian pulled out the broken feather arrow, looked at the exhausted deer, looked at its frightened eyes, and laughed haha.

Ordinarily, at this time, the emotional sentence "this is the cruel nature" was used to show the humanistic atmosphere, but what Chen Jian thought was that the deer's shoulder blades were tied to the simple wood like a cross, which could be used as the Lei of primitive agricultural tools, and also It is a simple "shovel".

I expressed a few words in the language of later generations, but the people next to me didn't know what it meant, thought he was celebrating, and yelled too.

The usual hunting requires the cooperation of more than 20 people to form a huge encirclement. Several people drive behind and chase alternately. The prey that can be caught every day is really limited.

Deer have good stamina, and sometimes it takes half a day to chase before the deer completely loses the strength to run.

As for the one-hit killing with a spear, it is said that a certain uncle who was eaten by a tiger was very skilled, but unfortunately it has become a legend now.

Today, five people actually hunted a deer, and it didn't take much time, and the sun had just left overhead, which was simply a miracle for everyone.

Amidst the cries of the wolf skin, these people worshiped the bow and arrow in Chen Jian's hand even more.

Wolf Pi even thought about engraving a black and white bear on his wolf tooth amulet when he went back.He felt that today's hunting was so lucky, it must have been protected by the black and white bear in Chen Jian's dream.

Chen Jian broke a branch and tied the deer's hooves with vines. Two people carried it and pointed to a hillside in the distance. Five people ran towards the hillside.

The wolfpi quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, climbed to the top of a big tree, and shouted loudly to the distant mountains, calling for the tribe.

The forest is deep and the grass is dense, but the sound can penetrate the dense bushes.

Soon, there were a few weak responses from a distance, far away, but not anxious.

The wolf skin jumped down from the tree, found some dry moss from the tree hole, tore a piece of bark and twisted it into a rope, and asked someone to cooperate to light a fire there with dry branches.

The two were sweating profusely from exhaustion, some green smoke finally came out of the moss and sawdust, they lowered their heads and blew gently, the tiny sparks finally turned into dancing flames.

There is a birch tree nearby, and a stone is used to cut a section on the birch tree, and when it is torn hard, the white birch bark is completely torn off.

This is an excellent kindling, even after heavy rain, as long as there is a fire, it can ignite the oil-rich birch bark.

When the campfire burns vigorously, it is covered with a mound of damp wild grass, and a thick black smoke rises from the fire.

This is a high place on the hillside, and with this black smoke, it can be seen clearly even dozens of miles away, so they are not afraid of losing their way.

All that's left is to wait.

Although very hungry, these foods cannot be eaten until they return to the tribe.Perhaps this has formed the original moral constraints, or it is a habit forced out by the harsh environment and the savagery where people must stay together to survive-those who break this rule will be driven out of the tribe.

A few people sat by the fire, and the wolf skin took out the three little chicks, followed Chen Jian's example, and teased them with bugs, making popping sounds from his mouth.

When the sun came close to the top of the distant mountain, the rest of the people finally came back, and there were excited roars from far away.

Compared with the past, today is a bumper harvest. Two deer, three sheep, a big fat bird and many small birds are rare.

People shouted loudly, expressing the excitement in their hearts with scarce words.

At least, in the struggle against nature and wildness, the clansmen survived once again and became the victors.

Picking up the prey, a group of people returned along the way they came under the pale golden sunlight...

Chapter 5 Surprise

In the cave in the distance, the women who stayed at home looked out nervously, and anxiety spread among the crowd.

The golden crow has fallen and the osmanthus soul has not yet flown, adding a bit of gloom; the night owl mourns and the lone wolf howls, making it even more desolate.

The old grandmother looked outside, and from time to time a woman yelled loudly into the distance, but no echo could be heard.

Normally at this time, they would return regardless of whether they had caught prey or not. Only caves were safe for the clansmen at night.
