Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 158 Coquettish Little Erhei (Ask for Collection Subscription)
Xiao Erhei chased and frolicked in the herd, this one kicked it twice, and the other refused to bite twice, and slowly the whole group of horses was born, and they were looking for food in the valley, and some began to lie on the ground to rest.
Ding Qi saw that the whole herd of horses was no longer rioting, and blew a whistle, and Xiao Erhei, who was chasing bees and butterflies in the herd, immediately stopped, turned his head and ran towards Ding Qi, no longer paying attention to the resentful woman behind him. But the resentful woman horse was unwilling, and neighed, as if he wanted to summon back the big black horse he had just hooked up.
Resentful Horse:
"You turtle grandson, hook the old lady on fire, do you want to run away halfway?"
Xiao Erhei cocked his tail, walked bumping and bumping, and screamed as he ran, as if in response to the resentful woman and horse:
"Baby, wait for me. Don't you know that our new master is so powerful that even I dare to beat me when he starts a fire, but it's much more itchy than yours. Wait until I get back! ”
Turning his head, he stopped caring about the resentful woman and horse, and ran quickly to the boulder where Ding Qi was, and saw a beautiful brown mare beside him, who used to snort at other people's buttocks, and ran away with his head, and his ability to flirt with the mare skyrocketed. Under the upside-down, upturned tail, a tuo horse dung spilled down, as if to say:
"And voila! Chick, brother is so sexy, is it? ”
Tinch sat down on his horse, swung the reins lightly, and walked out of the narrow valley, where a group of men were leading their horses and laughing in a circle commenting on each other's horses. There were also two people who did not lead the horses, drooping their heads, squatting to the side in frustration, presumably not catching the horses, of course, the warehouse was not counted.
Outside, everyone praised Dingchi for the horses they caught, saying that their horses were the best. The two horses of the bear and the strong are tall and strong, and they are very suitable for their stature, and the others are not bad. Ding Qi laughed, pointed to the horses in the valley and said:
"See, this is the most powerful, with these more than 100 horses, it will be more convenient for everyone to travel in the future, and hunting will be easier."
The crowd cheered with joy, saying that following the leader was the happiest thing in the world!
When everyone stopped, Ding Qi looked at the two team members who had not caught the horses and comforted:
"You two need not be disappointed, but go to the valley and pick one for your mount, and the barn, and the chestnut horse will be given to you. You go to train and tame yourself first, and if you can't tame it, give it to the soil, and give everyone two days to adapt. But now I have a task for everyone, which is to collect enough forage, and if there is no food, they will rebel. ”
The two members of the team who didn't catch the horse were very happy that they could own a horse themselves, what a majestic thing, and it was also something to show off when they returned to the tribe.
Cang also saw the scene of Xiao Erhei fighting with the chestnut horse, although he couldn't do the big black horse, but it was the leader's horse, can it not be powerful? Cang hurriedly took the people who had tied up their horses to collect forage. In the future, these horses will belong to their own tribe, but they have to take good care of them!
Tinch called for soil again, and told him to go to the valley and count the number of horses, distinguish the number of stallions and mares, and have a foundation in his heart, and at the same time prepare to train the horses.
Now Tinch doesn't have the skills of a western cowboy to take a large herd of freshly caught horses on a long journey. Therefore, he was ready to rely on this narrow valley to feed the herd of horses for the time being, while he led the people from the tribe to exchange meetings
When you come back, take it back with you.
After putting Xiao Erhei back into the herd to connect with the feelings, Ding Qi also joined the forage collection team, and tied the collected forage with a rope with everyone, and then transported it back to the outside of the valley. After a winter, the grass on the ground is far from being as good as the grass before autumn, and some of it is still a little wet, but it can only be collected and dried before feeding to the horses. Moreover, the grass that these horses eat all the way over should not be too much of a problem. When the grass grows in large patches, the horses don't have to worry about eating.
After dealing with the problem of forage, Ding Qi arranged for Jin Yu and Black Feather to wait here, and he took the people back to the shack, and transferred the reindeer, snow plows, and other items to the narrow valley, and quickly set up two large shacks as future camps, so that it was convenient to take care of the horses in the valley and prevent predators from attacking the horses.
After the camp was built, Ding Qi arranged for people to cook, and on the other hand, he led two teams of people to continue cutting down trees, and built a horse pen between the narrow valley and the camp, and tied the tamed horses of the hunting team members to it, so as to distinguish them from the horses in the valley, so as not to mix together and be indistinguishable.
At night, when there was no wind, a crescent moon was rarely seen in the sky, and a little starlight blinked their mischievous eyes, watching the group of people in the narrow valley. There was a large bonfire burning at the mouth of the narrow valley, and everyone was talking and laughing around the campfire, telling the interesting stories and troubles of everyone when they caught the horses this afternoon, and the two men with blue noses and swollen faces became the objects of ridicule.
Tu reported to Ding Qi the number of horses in the valley, a total of 139, plus the 26 caught by the team themselves, a total of 165 horses, including 70 stallions and 95 mares.
This is a considerable number, and if all the mares give birth to a single horse, not only will the number of horses increase by 50% in the future, but the daily forage consumption alone will be a big problem, and it will also take up a lot of manpower and material resources. But there are also advantages to having horses, being able to carry people, pulling goods and plowing the land, and being able to quickly reach a destination, if you can form a cavalry squad, wouldn't it be invincible in primitive society?
However, while Ding Qi was there, he was also thinking about how to create horse chews, stirrups and horseshoes, which will be the things that will accompany the horse for a lifetime, and can also better control and protect the horse. It seems that it is necessary to train some blacksmiths and horsemans again.
In the next two days, while familiarizing themselves with their horses, training their ability to react to human commands, and quickly understanding the meaning of human commands, they collected a large amount of forage and piled it up at the mouth of the narrow valley to prepare a large amount of forage for the next day after leaving here. Ding Qi had already arranged for five people, including Golden Feather, Black Feather, and Earth, as well as the other two, to stay here and take care of the horses so that they could not go hungry.
On the third day, the hunting team members rode a tall horse, led the reindeer around them, waved goodbye to the golden feather and them, and embarked on the road to the original deer tribe. Xiao Jin, who had been holding back for a few days, circled and flew in the air, indicating the direction of progress. After walking back and forth a few times, it has already memorized its way. As for the cutie, she stayed in the tribe to take on the work before the little black and white: vigilance.
At this time, Xiao Erhei was a little uneasy, turning back three times in one step, and his reluctant appearance made Ding Qi want to kick it twice, so soon he wanted to enter Gentle Township.
With the horses on their feet, the speed of the procession accelerated, and it took less than two days to reach the original deer tribe
in the location. Being able to arrive quickly, everyone still looked a little incredulous, and expressed their gratitude and admiration to Ding Qi and praised the greatness of Aragami.
The other tribes hadn't arrived yet, and the surroundings seemed quiet and empty, but Tinch was confident that it would soon be different.
After settling down, everyone performed their own duties, hunting, building houses, building horse pens, deer pens, and collecting forage, and everyone did not complain without any complaints, and they were in full swing. In everyone's mind, this is the tribe's own business, and it has to be done well. Not to mention that this is something arranged by Aragami, and it must be done well. And they knew that when exchanging with other tribes, there was a desirable event that would take place, and the event was called the "Spring Meeting". Men and women from various tribes gather together to choose their favorite people to be paired with each other to bring new healthy blood to their tribes.
A large number of people is easy to do, and Ding Qi only needs to command to deal with things one by one.
First of all, they divided a relatively large area as the main exchange site, where the tribes could display and exchange their belongings, and as long as they agreed, they could exchange them. In addition, this exchange area can also be used as a place for various tribes to hold gatherings before the exchange begins, such as bonfires or something, which can also be regarded as promoting relations between the tribes.
Secondly, they divided several living quarters, including the main living quarters of the Ding tribe, which contained three zigzag shacks, one each for horse pens and a deer pen at the back, and a forage area in the middle. As for the snow ploughs, they were arranged in front of the huts, and covered with animal skins, so that the contents would not be known in advance. On the side of the shack, another shed was built, and several earthen stoves were built underneath, and clay pots were placed, which could be used for cooking and as a display area for the upper echelons of the tribes to visit and experience. The main living area will be the area that the Ding tribe focuses on, and the idlers of other tribes are not allowed to approach.
Several other living quarters have been divided, but no shacks have been built. According to Ding Qi's idea, it takes effort to build a shack, and since it takes effort, you have to have money or something to help build a shack. The shack of the Ding tribe is of great quality.
Produced by the Ding tribe, it must be a high-quality product.
While supervising everyone to start construction, Ding Qi himself was not idle, took out axes, saws and chisels, and prepared to make a few stools to come out to welcome the arrival of the heads of the tribes. Let them feel this novelty, deepen their impression, let them feel the benefits of sitting on a stool, and consider changing some back.
Ding Qi knows that if he wants to be the spokesperson and leader of new things, he must do a good job in advertising. If you don't show it, if you don't let people feel it for themselves, people won't recognize your stuff. Just like the wooden shed prepared by Ding Qi, it is a place that is prepared for people who have not touched pottery pots to experience for themselves, so that they can see the magic of pottery pots, and presumably their desire to buy them will be stronger, and the price of the pottery they sell will be higher and the value will be greater.
Just as Ding Qi was making a stool, there was a sound of bronze knocking in front of the hunting team to warn, which were several warning devices specially made by Ding Qi, just like the track steel that he knocked on in and out of class when he was in elementary school, and this one was a bronze plate. In addition to the drum, there are also five or six bronze plates of this kind in the tribe, which have a crisp sound, can be transmitted far away, and can be warned at any time.
Members of other tribes are starting to come!
