Savage Tribe Survival

Because of Ah Cao's incident, the hunting team returned to the tribe early, and the food needed for the bonfire meeting was naturally not found. Not only Luo Zhen, but everyone in the tribe was very happy about the birth of the new orc warrior. There is a large dirt road separating the two rows of wooden houses in the village, and the width is estimated to be more than enough for two carriages to run side by side.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Zhan moved the venue of the bonfire meeting to this dirt road. Even though Ah Cao and Hei Ji couldn't come out to participate, as long as the wooden door was opened, everyone could feel the atmosphere of joy and celebration, and as long as they walked along the dirt road Just light a fire, and there is no need to light another big fire like before.

Now the tribe hunts more animals, and the boiled animal fat has a lot of leftovers in addition to the daily consumption. In addition, Luo Zhen also found rushes in the nearby mountains. After several times, he got the oil lamp out.

Luo Zhen simply rubbed some rough wicks, found some small stone pots, filled them with grease and put them in front of the doors of each wooden house, and lit the wicks after dark. Although the light would be weaker, it was better than The brazier burns persistently by the door.

During these days, by eating animal livers, wild vegetables and the like, the night vision of many ordinary people who previously suffered from night blindness has improved a lot. Now, in order to save firewood, as long as there is no need to cook and eat at night, most people People choose to light oil lamps.

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

All the people who landed prepared together, and the speed was much faster. Lu Zhan took people to the Sunyao River to feed a few fish and came back. The two big-horned deer in the animal shed were pulled out and slaughtered as the staple food for tonight. The big-horned deer has a year All four seasons will appear in the mountains, just kill them and catch new ones. The main animals that Luo Zhen wants to domesticate are those goats and sheep, as well as some wild boars and wild cattle that have been domesticated long ago in his original world. Among the successful animals, even the fast-breeding rabbits have raised more than a dozen.

"Big witch, do you want to stew cuckoo birds for my brother?" Ahua took Luo Zhen's hand and asked curiously. The big witch raised those cuckoo birds for a whole winter and was never willing to eat them. Ahua always thought that those cuckoo birds Birds are just for laying eggs.

"No, it's for your mother's body." Luo Zhen smiled and touched her little head.

"But those cuckoo birds have no meat and have a lot of hair. If they want to make up their bodies, why doesn't Da Wu give meat to Ah Cao?" In Ah Shui's knowledge, cuckoo birds can only eat bird eggs, and they eat meat. Only then can there be strength. Birds like cuckoo birds that are either feathers or bones will not appear in Ah Shui's recipes unless they are very hungry.

Luo Zhen smiled, but didn't answer. These people don't like birds because they can't be skinned directly like other animals. The feathers all over the body were cleaned up.

The small wooden house where the cuckoo birds are kept is not far from the animal shed. It is half shorter than the wooden house they live in. The space is not too big, and you have to bow your body slightly when entering the door. After saying hello, he walked in with the two little ones.

Rows of wooden cages are piled up around the cabin, and each wooden cage houses a pair of cuckoo birds. There are animal skin nests specially used for laying eggs for the cuckoo birds, and some are used to hold food and water. Now the food for Cuckoo birds is not only chopped meat, but most of them are weeds cut from outside the tribe. After chopping and mixing with some minced meat, it becomes Cuckoo. New feed for the birds.

In addition to these pairs of cuckoo birds, there are also two large wooden cages filled with celibate cuckoo birds without a partner. Luo Zhen spent a lot of thought to distinguish whether they were in pairs or not. Well, cuckoo birds without a partner can't lay eggs, and now Luo Zhen's goal is the fat cuckoo birds in these two cages.

Luo Zhen squatted in front of the cage for a long time to choose, and finally selected a male cuckoo bird with a few white feather tips.Even after being raised for so long, Cuckoo's nature is still afraid of people. When things happen, he will only know how to shiver and shiver. He will not raise his peck to fight back when he encounters an enemy like those pheasants. He caught the Cuckoo bird he had chosen.

"Big Witch, a Cuckoo bird has died here."

Luo Zhen, who was about to greet the two children to leave, looked over. At some point, the two were squatting in a corner and looking at something. Seeing Luo Zhen looking over, Ah Shui quickly waved to him, signaling Luo Zhen to come over have a look.

It was a relatively remote corner. For the sake of lighting, two large windows were opened on the left and right sides of the cabin. Only here was not illuminated, and it happened to be between the two cages. Will pay special attention here.

Lying on the ground is a little cuckoo bird. Its two little paws are stretched straight and motionless. At first glance, it does seem to be dead, but as long as you look closely, you will find the other's little cuckoo. His chest was still heaving slightly.

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

Luo Zhen poked the little Cuckoo's body with his fingers, but there was no reaction, as if he was really dead, but the warm touch in his hand told him that the little Cuckoo was still alive.

"Big witch, there is a hole here." Ah Hua pointed to a small hole the size of a fist and screamed.

Luo Zhen looked over and saw that the hole had been dug for an unknown amount of time. The surrounding soil was already dry, and there were many 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 the little cuckoo bird has escaped.

Luo Zhen didn't know if other cuckoo birds had come out of this mud hole besides the cuckoo bird in his hand, but it was obvious that the little cuckoo bird knew how to go back to the cabin, which made him secretly let it go. heart.

He blocked the hole first, tied the little Cuckoo's paws with a rope and ran to the wooden bars of the cage, and then took the Cuckoo who was going to make soup and left with the two children.

Luo Zhen's fire was set up in front of Ah Cao's house, and the water had already started to boil on it. He asked A Xue to help bring the pot of boiled water to a place specially used for slaughtering prey. Put it in boiling water and swirl it around several times, until the hair on it falls off as soon as you wipe it, then take it out.

It was the first time for Ah Xue to see someone handling the cuckoo bird like this, and she couldn't help but be amazed to see Luo Zhen cleaning up the hair of the whole cuckoo bird in a few minutes.

Dig out all the internal organs and throw them away. Cuckoo is not big, and it is too troublesome to deal with these internal organs. Now that they have no shortage of food, Luo Zhen is too lazy to deal with these things. After cleaning the feathers, he finds a basket to dry. The feathers of birds are very useful. They can be used in the bows and arrows they usually use, to the quills made by Luo Zhen, and even to make clothes or quilts after the quantity is large.

The whole Cuckoo bird was placed in a small stone pot, submerged in water, Luo Zhen added two slices of ginger, and cut a Tai Sui the size of a fingernail into it.The few bamboo shoots brought back by Luo Zhen before have all survived and started to grow green bamboo leaves, but because the number is not large, Luo Zhen only picks one piece every three days for Zhuifeng to eat, and other antlers need to eat. Luo Zhen planned to provide them with bamboo leaves only after the whole small bamboo forest had fully grown.

But this time he was generous. He directly picked five or six leaves from the bamboo with crystal fruit and put them in the Gugu bird soup. Now he has a little understanding of life energy and knows that these things are beneficial to People play a very important role, and now that Ah Cao has just given birth, it is time to use these things to replenish her body.

Stewing soup requires a lot of effort. Seeing that there is nothing she needs to do for the time being, Luo Zhen sends Ah Shui to help look at the Cuckoo Bird Soup, and then plans to go to the back of the cabin to see the little Cuckoo Bird. In the danger of falling into a dead state, Luo Zhen can't feel at ease until he finds out what it is.

Of course, for safety's sake, Luo Zhen went to call Lu Zhan up.

Luo Zhen showed the dead cuckoo bird to Lu Zhan. Lu Zhan couldn't help but frowned, and his face became serious. He followed Luo Zhen vigilantly and walked towards the back of the cabin.

The small mud hole was not difficult to find. It was not dark yet, and Luo Zhen quickly discovered the abnormality. They found a lot of broken petals in the grass, and the land around the wooden house had been tidied up by Luo Zhen long ago. After checking it again, there is no flower that looks like some kind of fruit tree.

"It's wild peony." Luo Zhen picked up a flower and looked at it carefully, and came up with the answer. Wild peony is one of the earliest flowering varieties in the basin, and their flowering period is also long. Vegetables to eat, but there are not many wild peony trees, and Luo Zhen wanted to wait for it to bear fruit before picking the fruit, so he stopped after eating it only once.

I didn't expect to see this kind of petals here.

It didn't take long for the two of them to discover the source of those petals. Before Luo Zhen could examine them carefully, Lu Zhan next to him picked him up and took a few steps back. Gloomy, "Flame Ant."

Luo Zhen followed Lu Zhan's gaze and saw some fiery figures busily shuttling back and forth in the dense grass. They seemed to sense the approach of humans, and all the flame ants that were running around stopped. , only the two tentacles on the head swayed slowly a few times, as if observing the two uninvited guests.

"They actually built their nests here?"

Lu Zhan looked at the ant nest that had already formed and was really angry. These little things had been moving under his nose for so long without being discovered, but he couldn't be blamed for that. A lot of things are naturally not detailed enough.

"What should I do? Should I kill them all? Or just drive them away?" Luo Zhen still remembered how Lu Zhan was bruised all over by the flame ants. He didn't think what this harmless-looking little ant could be Easy stuff.

Lu Zhan shook his head. There are more than tens of thousands of ants in an ant nest, and not all of them will hide in the nest obediently and wait for humans to destroy them. Flame ants are the most cunning ants in the world, and they are small-minded and hold grudges , coupled with their small size, fast speed and flexibility, hiding in the grass and mud, it is not an easy task for you to find them all.

And as long as the flame ants escaped, they would come back with revenge. At that time, their little Sunshine tribe would not be able to develop well, just dealing with this nest of ants would be enough.

Luo Zhen obviously thought of this too. The ant nest is too close to their wooden house, and their wooden house cannot prevent ants. If these dangerous little things are left in the tribe, it will be harmful to the people in the tribe. All kinds of animals domesticated in the tribe are a big threat. He still remembers that Lu Zhan told him that these flame ants can eat a full-grown bison in an instant.

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

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