Volume 1 Building the City Chapter 98 Departure Again (5) (Proofreading)
The warriors of the tribe were caught off guard and were attacked by the wild wolf who was hiding, but fortunately, the second brother on the side was quick and took the metal axe in his hand and slashed it in the air, killing the hiding she-wolf on the spot.
Wang Tian couldn't help but feel afraid for a while, the wolf was too cunning, and he was so cautious that he almost caught the road.
This she-wolf has been hiding at the bottom of the cave and has never appeared, could it be because there are wolf cubs underneath? Wolves are hateful, but dogs are man's most loyal friends.
Getting a domesticated dog in primitive times is not for the sake of being a pet, in this era food is wasted, and raising a pet is a luxury. Wang Tian didn't have the time and patience either.
Now even the little Fuma Wang Tian who crossed with him can't take care of it, let alone raising a pet dog, the dog can help humans hunt and graze, track prey, and stand guard......
The dog's sense of smell is sensitive, and in Wang Tian's upcoming river exploration, this alone will play a great role, at least he can detect the danger from all sides in advance.
Of course, domesticating wolves into dogs is not an overnight thing, but if you don't start, won't it be possible forever!
The average lifespan of wolves is only about 10 years, Wang Tian feels that in his lifetime, at least he can domesticate several generations of dog cubs, and domesticate wolves into dogs.
In comparison, in his limited life, it is almost impossible to see a white and tender big fat pig like the later generations.
Thinking that under this cave, there might be little wolf cubs, Wang Tian couldn't help but get excited, dogs are really too helpful to humans, especially in this era, so he decided to dig this cave at all costs.
Wang Tian asked the second brother of King Kong to use a metal axe to smash the stone at the entrance of the cave, but found that it was a very laborious and almost impossible task.
There is no other way to do this, and these blues are not all blue, they are all made of stones, and the basic situation is half stone and half earth.
The stone couldn't be dug up, so it could only start from the soft soil, and through the continuous efforts of everyone, after digging three spears, Wang Tian finally cut the cave like a face.
At the bottom of the wolf's den, in a space of less than half a square meter, he finally saw the five little wolf cubs lying inside, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that these little wolf cubs had not yet opened their eyes, and their cheeks were still covered with thick eyelids.
Isn't this more conducive to the success of domestication, for this reason Wang Tian has no experience, and if he wants to domesticate a wild wolf to become a domestic dog, he actually needs to take a lot of risk.
Wolves are carnivores after all, and who can guarantee that they will not break out wild and harm the people of the tribe, but the importance of dogs to humans made him decide to take the risk.
At this time, Wang Tian seemed to have forgotten that he not only got 5 wolf cubs today, but he also got 2 tiger cubs.
Perhaps in his thoughts, he never thought of being able to raise tigers, and the reason why he brought the tiger cub with him was just to resign himself to fate and not be the one who raised the butcher's knife.
He didn't expect that the two little tigers, like these five little wolf cubs in the future, would regard him as their mother for the first time when they first opened their eyes.
Let his wife be a stepmother who has not yet made a few little cute things, and is still out of control, taking care of them as both a stepmother and a nanny.
After getting the 5 wolf cubs, Wang Tian immediately decided to end today's work and return to the tribe with everyone.
Vegetables are grown in abundance, and soybeans can be cultivated as food crops. Cotton, an important plant that can be used in the textile industry, rabbits and pheasants for the development of animal husbandry.
And the ancestor of the dog, the most loyal companion of mankind, maybe from now on, Wang Tian will no longer feel lonely, my heart is lit by the moon, and so is the bright moon.
The harvest of these two days has set the tone for next year's development, half of the Tianlong tribe is about to enter the semi-agricultural civilization, Wang Tian will apply the main energy before the winter to the preparation for the winter.
On the way back, it was not surprising that I picked up a lot of prey, and these hunting traps from later generations were extremely effective in this era.
After a few days of fighting wild boars, shooting tigers, killing leopards and destroying wolves, the excitement is exciting, but Wang Tian's little heart is still a little unbearable.
Before the training task was completed, the weapons and equipment were not distributed in place, Wang decided that it was better not to be so excited.
Be careful to walk the ship of ten thousand years, and you need to be hard to strike iron, first make your tribe stronger, and then declare man the lord of all things in this primitive world.
In the future, the main source of fur, Wang Tian will focus on these rabbits, the traps on the way, set a bit far away, Wang Tian plans to set up traps around the tribe in the future.
There is no need to go deep into the forest to obtain rabbits, they should be available by the river and the woods.
Wang Tian, who was in a happy mood all the way, was thinking about what he had already obtained and what he would get, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for the lack of population again.
If there is a sufficient population, not only the fence can be built this year, but also the houses where you live, as well as the supporting toilets, bathrooms, and kitchens, will not be a problem.
The more than 900 acres of land suitable for cultivation in front of the door can also complete the process from land reclamation - deep ploughing to fine cultivation, and with the current manpower of the tribe, it is a long way to go to turn these more than 900 acres of fields into high-yield fields.
After returning to the tribe, Wang Tian gave Xiaoling all the soybean seeds he got today, and let him peel them off and dry them, so that they can be stored and planted after the spring of next year.
As for the cabbage, radishes, and green onions that are obtained. Just transplant it into the ground and you're good to go.
As an evergreen plant in all seasons, the propagation of green onion can be transplanted directly, and after transplantation, its roots will continue to emerge new leaves.
Chinese cabbage and radishes, which do not have seeds in this season, can also be transplanted directly into the ground, and after the seeds are harvested, they can be cultivated directly with seeds in the future.
Today's harvest is wild onions, Wang Tian does not plan to plant the 900 acres of land at this stage, he asked Kuroko to take the tools, and dug out a ridge of land along the gable in front of the second rejection of the observation deck, covering an area of about 10 square meters.
The wild onions, as well as a small amount of cabbage and radish, were transplanted to the land, which was deeply ploughed, the soil was broken and covered with a layer of farm manure.
This land will be used as an experimental ground for breeding and improved varieties in the future, and large-scale cultivation of agricultural land will need to wait until the fence is built, and then organize everyone in the tribe to work together.
The picking period of radish and cabbage is generally before the first arrival of winter snow, before which the plant can be harvested, and only seeds can be obtained this year, and a small trial planting can be carried out next year.
The valley where he was found today can be visited again before the snow arrives at the beginning of the year, so that we can collect some more seeds for next year's planting.
Vegetables and melons and fruits will be mainly bred and planted in a small area next year, and soybeans, the main food crop, will be the top priority of agricultural production next year.
However, due to the lack of seeds, next year will still choose the method of intensive cultivation, increase the number of existing seeds and carry out optimal breeding.
Wang Tian believes that after the efforts of the next year, the tribe has now obtained all kinds of vegetables and fruits, as well as the main food crop soybeans. The seeds needed will be abundant.
In the year after that, melons and fruits are fragrant, and the appearance of plump soybeans is expected, although the nutritional value of soybeans is extremely high, it seems that its yield is still not comparable with millet is millet.
In addition, soybean processing is also more troublesome, not to mention anything else, just tofu, gypsum is available, extracted from rock salt ore, the stone mill needed to make tofu, in the absence of iron tools, it is very troublesome to make.
In a word, in the next year or two, the tribe will also focus on fishing, supplemented by hunting, and raise livestock and various vegetables, fruits and grains as supplements.
