The things that stunned Zhang Heng were actually three kinds of animals, a huge snake, a toad with a big dustpan, and a strange thing that looked like a cat, dog and mouse, with a small head, a sharp mouth, and a long tail, and the tail accounted for almost half of it. There is no shortage of animals in the space, but the season in front of you should not be at all!

The snake bit the toad, and the strange-looking animal bit the snake again, which is a bit of a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch in the back.

"King, it's a meerkkat, a meerkat At first, the sound of the reminder sounded again.

"Meerkat What is this? Zhang Hengyi was bold, and he made a move during the question, but this shot made him lose face, and he was proud of the speed that actually suffered a loss in front of this animal called a meerkat at a speed, and he didn't even touch the heel hair three times in a row, and finally he was almost bitten back.

In the end, the whip tail of the fierce fox was finally entangled, and it was only ten catties in the hand, and the large cats in the village were heavier than this, and they could hunt more than four meters long.

And the snake and the toad were not completely dead, but they did not have time to counterattack, and died in the hands of the bearded man and the cloud respectively.

The toad is the toad, the Shu dialect is called "Leprosy Kebao", this thing is rare, less than the yellow color of the earth frog, although the appearance is disgusting, but the old people in the village are also occasionally used to treat diseases, belonging to the medicinal animals.

A few minutes later, Zhang Heng checked the snake and the toad, and there were some differences in physical characteristics, mainly because they were a little shocked in size, and what surprised him was how the hibernating snakes and toads came out in this season.

And the meerkat in his hand made him even more curious, this little thing actually became the final winner.

"What's your name, tell me what a meerkat is?" Zhang Heng summoned the warrior who had just shouted.

Who thinks this man can only speak simple globes. couldn't communicate with him, so he asked Su Xiu to translate. After a moment, Zhang Heng smiled. This person was born in a small tribe in the north, the pronunciation of the name is Tupa, this tribe has raised this kind of meerkat before, according to him, this kind of meerkat is a treasure, where there are meerkats there will be no snakes, insects, rats and ants and other pests, even birds dare not appear, almost equal to the food guardian in the tribe, and the things eaten by the meerkat do not conflict with the food needs of primitive people. There will be no self-theft.

"Hehe, isn't this the equivalent of a cat? And it's a strengthened version of the cat, and when the cat steals fish, the meerkat only pays without asking for anything in return! Zhang Hengle said.

Who would have thought that Su Xiu said again: "Wang, he said that meerkat likes to eat snakes the most, and any snake can eat it." ”

Zhang Heng nodded and said loudly: "Since the meerkat has many advantages, let's raise it, Tupao." In the future, the matter of raising meerkats will be handed over to you, and when you go back, you will go to Ah Qi to listen to the errand! ”

This is a big promotion for the primitive warriors, and from then on they can not only eat three meals. can still eat well, Ah Qi is in charge of breeding.

"Kneel the Sun King!" After Tu Pa understood, he immediately prostrated down.

Zhang Heng smiled and personally pulled Tu Pi up, and said loudly: "Anyone who can contribute to the tribe in the future." Even if it's just advice, you'll be rewarded! ”

"Hooray. Long live the Sun King! More than two hundred people cheered one after another, and there was a faint hierarchy within Taihao. Although it is vague, but after a long time, many people have understood that they should climb up as much as possible, and the higher the status, the better the treatment, for example, when eating, the prestige group will be allowed to take the food first, Zhang Heng did not rank in detail, but it affected it.

For example, there are good things, good clothes, but also by the high status of the first selection, this not only satisfies a better life, but also appears a competitive mentality, animals are also divided into a leading beast, not to mention human beings, this level will appear sooner or later, when primitive people from the problem of eating, the mind will diverge, seeking more pursuits, perhaps this is the distinction between material and spiritual life, first there is material and then there will be spiritual pursuit.

This was just a small episode, and at this time, Zhang Heng naturally couldn't have thought of how valuable this kind of mongoose was.

"Wang, the temperature has changed, it has eased!" Su Xiu suddenly said loudly.

Zhang Heng reacted at this time, he was not afraid of the cold, and Qin Shou and the others were not afraid, but Su Xiu was the most sensitive to temperature, and this reminder made him show joy, and said: "Although it is the first time I have seen a swamp, according to previous experience, wherever there are good things, clouds and mist are most likely to appear here, and the clouds and mist here are so thick, in my estimation, there must be good things, everyone cheers up, and shouts loudly if they find anything." ”

After a pause, he whispered, "If I knew I was looking for rice, I should have brought a few ducks here." ”

"Ducks?" Su Xiu heard his words and asked puzzledly.

"Well, after harvesting the rice in the village, the ducks will be put into the farmland, the biggest advantage of the ducks is that they can find every grain scattered, whether the terrain is arid or in the water, in the soil, the ducks can find the rice, this kind of swampy terrain people will fall, but ducks will not, if there are really rice plants, ducks are more than a hundred times stronger than we will look for like this. But it's a pity, my original body is not looking for ducks, that is, it is not as fast as the time for us to return directly to Taihao to bring the ducks over, but we return to Taihao, then this trip will run in vain, and we have already arrived here, which is really a little unwilling. When the fifth heavy snow falls, it's time to return, and I hope to find a rice plant! Zhang Heng said a little speechlessly, this is speechless to himself, he actually forgot this kind of common sense, otherwise he should have prepared ducks before entering the valley.

"Look, king, duck!" This is Qin Shou's voice, although he didn't understand what Wang just said, but he understands that Wang wants ducks very much now.

"What?" Zhang Heng asked in surprise.

For a short while, they only walked forward less than 100 meters, as if they had entered another world, the climate here was actually like autumn, more than ten degrees higher than the temperature just now, the same fog, but not cold, more like water vapor.

Animals, a large number of animals appeared in front of me, although they were all small animals, but many should not appear in this season, such as the snakes and toads that I saw just now, there were more birds, and there was an endless reed plant, and there were many puddles of different sizes, and small rivers with cold air on the water, and when they gathered together, it was the fog they saw.

"Plop!" The birds were frightened, including the duck in Qin Shou's mouth, Zhang Heng took a look, it was indeed similar to the ducks raised in the tribe, but the one in front of him could fly into the sky, and the size was small, at most two catties.

"Grab a few dozen for me, be careful of the ground, work in pairs, one in front of the other, and tie rattan to their respective waists!" Zhang Heng commanded.

After all, the more than 200 people he brought were the elite selected from all the soldiers in Taihao, and it was naturally not a problem to catch some birds and birds, but it would take a lot of effort to catch them alive.

He didn't need to make a move on this kind of trivial matter, and was about to think about something for a while, when Qin Shou suddenly shouted again: "Wang, a tribe has come!" ”

"Tribe! You mean? Zhang Heng woke up, Qin Shou said that he had found traces of human activities when he just crossed in, but he didn't see a single hair along the way, but he didn't expect to find it again now, yes, only in such an environment, I'm afraid that human beings can live.

"Qin Shou, you and Yun and the two of you, take twenty people to check it out, see if you can find this tribe, and return here when you are hungry." There are too many people but it is not easy to act, a small half a day is completely enough, he didn't ask in detail, the matter of the survey is still left to the professional to deal with.

Soon Qin Shou set off, and he took advantage of this kung fu to take people to survey the road, no need to go into the swamp far, as long as he can pick reeds, this thing can be used to make beds, I have to spend the night here tonight, I haven't slept well before, the ice and snow are indeed not people's days.

In the evening, Qin Shou and the others actually returned in vain, and did not find the population, Zhang Heng was also quite speechless, but he also resisted his curiosity, because the duck-like birds had already been prepared.

The upper feather was cut off, so that it could not fly, and it was tied with thin rattans, and there were quite a lot of them, more than forty, which should be almost enough.

"Wang, what are you going to do with these ducks?" Su Xiu asked curiously, there is no end in sight to the swamp, in the afternoon, just surveying a distance of more than 100 meters to collect reeds almost led to the death of someone, although the duck was tied up with rattan, but it was impossible for the rattan to put the duck too far.

"Ever heard of killing chickens for eggs?" Zhang Heng asked rhetorically.

"I've heard of it, what's wrong?" Su Xiu was puzzled, and was talking about the duck, how did it get to the chicken.

Zhang Heng smiled: "The analogy is a bit inappropriate, let me tell you this, the duck consumes quite slowly after eating, and will accumulate in a small stomach, only the size of a baby fist, which is called (whisker bag) in the village, and the position is just at the end of the neck, that is, the arc in front of the chest, the ducks in the village will return to the cage when it is dark, and then the villagers will selectively touch the stomach of some of these ducks to distinguish whether the ducks are full, if they are not full, they will be fed some food at this time, Let the duck digest it at night after it is full, so that the meat can grow. ”

"I understand, but I don't seem to understand!" Su Xiu asked in a daze.

Zhang Heng suddenly showed a cruel smile, "I put these ducks into the swamp to find food, scattered in all directions, and when these ducks are full, I will cut the stomach of the duck directly, because the duck digestion is very slow, if you really eat the grain, then the millet taken out of the stomach can still be used as seeds, now do you understand!" ”

Rao is Su Xiu's personality is different from that of ordinary women, but she was also taken aback, it was such a cruel method, but if you think about it carefully, isn't this the law of survival in this world? People eat animals, animals eat people!

"Okay, go to sleep, whether you succeed or not, tomorrow will naturally see! By the way, tomorrow the team will be divided into two teams, one part will lead the ducks to find food, and the other part will hunt the birds and birds in the area to check if there is rice in the stomach. "The early birds have to eat, and the birds usually eat in the morning and evening, so the best time to cut the stomach is in the middle of the afternoon and just after night! (To be continued.) )
