Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 316 The old lady is unhappy
Mother Niu is very happy, she is so happy to be able to eat such fat grass. Swallow it, roll it again, roll it again. Well? Why didn't you get involved? Again, haven't got it yet? Could it be that the old lady's tongue has become shorter?
The cow mother, who was feeling the clatter of the grass being cut between her teeth and the clatter of chewing in her mouth, was a little unhappy when she didn't reel in the grass and hear the beautiful sound. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that there was no grass left in his hands, which annoyed it a little.
"Moo~"
Mother Niu mooed, as if telling Ding Qi: Human, you give me some more grass, it's delicious!
Ding Qi spread his hands, which meant to tell Mother Niu: I'm sorry, no, please be early tomorrow!
"Moo~"
Mother Niu seemed to be a little anxious, and her mooing voice was very long, as if to say: Human, just give me some, just a little.
Ding Qi was helpless, took out the mountain knife, cut a pile of grass in the surrounding grass and put it next to the mother cow.
Mother Niu was immediately happy, hurried a few steps, and felt like she was jumping and walking, very happy. Those eyes seemed to be slit, lining its long eyelashes that flickered back and forth, huh? That's a beautiful cow too!
Mother Niu was not polite, she rolled up a handful of grass with her long tongue, closed her eyes and began to enjoy the delicious taste of the grass. I just chewed four or five bites, paused, chewed again, and stopped again. Then he chewed three more times, continued to stop, opened his eyes, looked at the person in front of him and looked at the grass on the ground, nothing changed! Why does it taste different?
Chew it again, and it still tastes like this, which is different from the previous taste. Could it be that this human deceives himself?
Hum! Teasing the old lady? I don't play with you anymore, my mother is not happy! Although I don't dare to stand up to you now, my mother knows what you think in your heart, and she wants to seduce me, no way!
The mother cow turned around and left, leaving Ding Qi with a cow butt and a cow tail that flicked around. But no one knows what is in its heart......
"Let's bear with it, maybe when it will be again, he will definitely bring himself grass." Hum! ”
Raise your neck in the direction of the little cutie:
"Moo~"
That's the one who called the calf.
Not to mention, it really worked, the little calf really left the little cutie, caught up with his mother, and returned to the herd in the distance. It's just that the thick reluctance in his eyes made Ding Qi a little unbearable in his eyes.
"In that case, then follow me and see if I can take you all away! At least you and your mother can't run away, and my fine salt is eaten for nothing? Hey! ”
Ding Qi has his own plans, and he is not afraid of them running away, since he has found a place by himself, he has to stew you in a pot anyway.
No! It's a pot served!
It got dark quickly, and then the sunset disappeared between heaven and earth. As soon as it was dark, they hurried back and piled up all the dried cow dung. However, Ding Qi didn't agree, and hurriedly asked everyone to arrange six equally spaced small calf dung piles around the large pile of cow dung in the middle, and there were some surpluses, if there were no accidents, it was estimated that they could burn until dawn tomorrow.
Cang was still a little suspicious, and couldn't help but ask Ding Qi what he meant?
"We've had wolf ambushes before, and we were able to wipe out some of the wolves with some defenses. But on the grassland, it is not so easy, and you need to be strictly guarded at night. Six more fires are also for fear of a wolf pack siege. ”
Ding Qi explained the reason to his subordinate Tiger General, which dispelled his doubts.
"Well, Chief, doesn't it stink to burn this cow dung?"
You know what you mean, but you're worried about making the surroundings smelly.
"Don't worry, it doesn't stink! What's more, the food is delicious! ”
Ding Qi patted Kura on the shoulder and gave him a reassurance. only
It's hard to imagine that cow dung is associated with food, how can it not stink? It's delicious!?
Shaking his head, he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly arranged for everyone to light a fire and carry water, and prepare dinner.
Ding Qi himself led Xiao Erhei and walked towards the river with the little cutie, ready to drink horses.
When I came to this grassland, I obviously felt that Xiao Erhei was a little excited, as if he was coming home. Before, everyone was attracted by the magnificent sunset on the grassland, and they didn't notice the change in Xiao Erhei. But how could Tinch ignore his surroundings and let the horses lead them? It's just that Ding Qi doesn't want to wake everyone up, for them, this is a beautiful scenery that is rare to see once in a lifetime.
Otherwise, Ding Qi would not have mentioned the famous sentence "Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together" in a timely manner, which seems so appropriate.
Therefore, seeing Xiao Erhei stepping on the grass so excitedly and briskly, Ding Qi knew that he had come to the grassland where he lived before. But what they didn't expect was that they didn't encounter the long-thought herd of horses before dark, but saw another kind of livestock that the tribe needed: cattle.
In addition to the twenty or thirty cattle in front of him, there were five or six herds of cattle in the distance. In addition, the location where they are now is not far from the big river, surrounded by abundant water and grass, and all kinds of animals. There are five herds of bison, and antelopes, horned deer, and spotted deer are also herds. Further afield, elephants, rhinos and ostriches can be seen, as well as water buffalo in the swamps formed by the great rivers.
In addition, hyenas, leopards, and coyotes can also be seen occasionally, and there are also birds of prey cruising in the sky, but they all quickly disappear after seeing Xiao Jin fly into this airspace.
After seeing the scalpers, Ding Qi deliberately lowered his pace and did not let the team continue to move forward, preparing to pocket the small group of scalpers in front of him.
A bonfire formed by dried cow dung, the flame is not large, but it dedicates warmth and light to humans who know how to use it. For those who live on the grasslands, cow dung is a treasure. Cow dung is not only the most readily available fuel in the grasslands, but it also burns for a long time, making it suitable for burning an open fire in a yurt, which can be kept for several hours after the fire is sealed. It not only saves fuel, but also maintains the indoor temperature and preserves the fire.
Moreover, there is also a saying that the kind of cow dung, which has been stored for three or four years and faded and grayed, can be ignited to form smoke, which can kill more than 300 kinds of microbial viruses, cure respiratory diseases, and also treat rhinitis. The main reason is that cattle often eat various herbs grown on the grassland, and over time, the cow dung stored for a long time has certain medicinal properties.
The red cow dung has no smoke, no smell, and even some fragrant smell. This made the people who had never seen the world in Cang and them surprised, and they couldn't help but pick up a piece of cow dung and put it in front of their noses to smell it. As everyone knows, this move has already put the powder on the cow dung on the jerky around him, but he tastes the barbecued jerky with "condiments" with relish.
"Remember, cow dung is a treasure in the grassland. In the absence of a large number of trees for their own fires, cow dung became a great tool for human survival. The fire of cow dung is a simmer, the flame is not large, but it is durable and durable, especially suitable for making some barbecue. ”
While eating barbecue, Ding Qi told everyone about the benefits of cow dung.
"By the way, Yun, this cow dung can also be used as a medicinal herb, which can repel some invisible insects and germs, and treat diseases such as coughing. These bugs and germs are microorganisms that cannot be seen or touched, but they can cause harm to the human body, so some special methods are needed to get rid of them. ”
Speaking deeply, I didn't forget to give Yun a lesson, so that he could understand the special role of cow dung itself.
"At night, when we went to bed, we had to divide into eight shifts, and each of us would be on duty for an hour until dawn. Everyone, be vigilant, I'm afraid the night won't be so easy
。 If there is a siege by a beast, set fire to the other six cow dung heaps at any time. ”
Ding Qi arranged the vigil and told everyone to pay attention to safety. The horses were tethered to a steel spear buried in the ground, which was Tinki's possession, which could be attacked and defended. Fearing that there would be a beast attack at night, Tinch deliberately did not stumble on the horses, just in case.
Before going to bed, everyone puts their weapons in a position where they can take advantage of them. Tincch himself took out a spear wood and embellished it with a versatile Swiss Army knife. The spear wood is worthy of toughness, and it is even better than the yew I found, so I can only say that nature is magical. Such a special wood can exist in the primitive period, but it has not survived, should it be said that God is jealous of its material!
At this time, the spear wood had been made into the shape of a long bow, and the sides were thinly sharpened, about less than a centimeter thick, and the middle grip was its most primitive shape, about the thickness of an egg. Such a longbow, with its own bowstring made of special spider silk, can reach an astonishing distance of two hundred meters after being fully drawn, and the effective killing distance is about one hundred and fifty meters.
It's just that such a bow has too strong a pulling force, just like Ding Qi's power, he can't stand it after pulling ten times in a row, and he has to stop and rest for about ten minutes before he can continue to draw the bow. It's just that this is already very terrifying, and none of them can pull Ding Qi's bow into a full bow.
Carefully removing the bowstring and pressing this spear wood under the backpack, Tinch slept with his clothes.
"Whew~"
A wolf howl sounded, waking up the crowd sleeping around the campfire. Ling who was keeping vigil saw Ding Qi wake up, and hurriedly came to Ding Qi's side to explain to Ding Qi what had just happened.
"Chief, this is about a pack of two dozen wolves. They spotted the herd and were about to attack. But the cattle were also very smart, and they were so fast that the wolves did not dare to approach us easily. Now the wolves hide in the surrounding grass and surround the herd, putting pressure on them to prevent them from moving. ”
Ding Qi nodded, wiped his face indiscriminately, and quickly stood up after removing the drowsiness to observe the situation of the herd.
With the help of the faint red light, you can vaguely see the herd with its head facing outward and buttocks facing inward, protecting the old and frail cows, calves and pregnant cows in the middle.
"Moo~"
The cows roared, as if they were a little worried about their situation. Nearly thirty wolves circled around him, and the pressure was not ordinary.
Ding Qi is not in a hurry to make a move, the pressure brought by the wolves to the cattle herd has not yet reached the limit, and when the spirit of this group of cattle is completely broken, that is when he and his companions show their skills and take the herd into their pockets.
The commotion of the herd continues, and the bulls on the periphery keep turning in circles, driving away the wolves that are in the dark and ready to pounce. A pair of big bulb-like eyes, flickering and dimming, scattered around, so that the herd had no chance to escape.
Soon, a tall and sturdy wolf king appeared at the front of the team, slowly approaching the herd, as if looking for an opportunity, but without touching the bottom line of the herd, slowly forcing the herd to show its flaws. In the light of the fire, you can see that the fur of the wolves is black, blending in with the night.
Suddenly, a bull accidentally fell to his knees while spinning in a circle. As if sounding the horn of attack, the other wolves rushed towards the herd. The wolf king was the most direct, and suddenly jumped forward, wanting to bite the bull with his mouth full of sharp teeth.
"Moo~"
The herd began to disorganize and flee in all directions, most rushing towards the fire-lit human camp. Among them, the cries of the mother cow and her child were the most helpless. One wolf after another rushed over and surrounded them, howling smugly. The bull and the cow that fell to the ground will be enough to fill their bellies, and the calf will become their dessert before the meal, and the sweet blood has aroused the most primitive desires in the hearts of the black wolves.
