Chapter 34: Keeping the Wolf Cubs
Thinking that it might be a wolf cub, Ye Feng's mind was alive, and he remembered that the dog was domesticated from the gray wolf in the early days, and was called the "six animals" along with horses, cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens. It is known as man's most loyal friend, and in later generations, dogs are the most privately owned pets, with a lifespan of up to ten years.
The dog's sense of smell is unusually sensitive, so that he has a very important contribution in many fields such as hunting, military, search and rescue, with Ye Feng's lack of historical knowledge, it is impossible to know when humans raised dogs, but this is not the most important, the important thing is that if these wolf cubs are still young, they can be domesticated and used in hunting, military, and will be able to make important contributions to the tribe.
Ye Feng listened attentively, and after determining a direction, he found the hole that made a sound, because he was afraid that there was a big wolf hiding in it and didn't leave, he also threw a stone inside, and after no reaction, Ye Feng lay on the ground and poked his head in.
After a while, Ye Feng took out eight little wolf cubs, these little wolf cubs had just opened their eyes, and they were probably not weaned, which made Ye Feng happy, the smaller these wolf cubs are, the easier they are to be domesticated, if they are bigger, they may not be able to be fed, if they become white-eyed wolves, then they can't find a place to cry.
And the glorious task of raising a little wolf cub, Ye Feng handed it over to Chu Yun, who made her a top student specializing in animal domestication and breeding, the little wolf cub is also cute, for a girl who loves animals, it is simply a weapon of mass destruction, so Chu Yun gladly accepted it.
"Huh? Ye Feng, why do you have blood on your hands, you shouldn't be injured, right? The attentive Chu Yun found the faint blood stain in Ye Feng's right hand, so he asked with concern.
Ye Feng smiled faintly and said: "It's okay, it's not my blood, in fact, this litter of wolf cubs should be ten, there are two wolf cubs that should have been bitten to death by his mother, the corpse is in tatters, my right hand happened to touch it when I climbed in, I almost vomited at the time, so I'm really fine, don't worry!" ”
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Chu Yun relieved his heart, and then wondered: "The death of those two little wolf cubs shouldn't be that we disturbed their mothers, right?" ”
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Maybe, if it weren't for the long howl of the first wolf, these eight little guys might have died!" ”
As the saying goes, tigers don't eat their children, even if they are vicious animals, under the nature of motherhood, they will become extremely gentle to their children. However, in some special circumstances, animals will bite or eat their children, such as lack of milk, or encounter natural predators, etc., biting their children to death is a kind of protection for it.
Don't feel cruel, natural selection, this world itself is a world of the weak and the strong, and in the face of animals stronger than yourself, this is the most helpless choice.
Ye Feng and Chu Yun sighed for a while, and followed everyone back to the tribe.
Now there are large and small wolf corpses lying on the ground of the tribe, the women are cleaning them up, the air is filled with a heavy and fishy smell of blood, these women do not have the slightest dislike, this ability to bear hardships and stand hard work, the proud daughter of the sky who grew up in the greenhouse in later generations can never be compared.
Chu Yun saw that the way they dealt with it was actually to dismember it and make it into food to eat, and said anxiously to Ye Feng: "Ye Feng, you stop them quickly, those gray wolves who were killed by bows and arrows are better to say, the poisoned wolves may have the toxins of aconite grass in their bodies, and they may be poisoned if they eat them!" ”
When Ye Feng heard this, he was in a hurry, and ran two steps towards them, but he didn't have time to stop, and shouted to those women from a distance: "Wait a minute! Throw away the gray wolves who ate the flesh smeared with aconite and died, that can't be eaten! ”
When the women heard this, they immediately stopped doing it, and they all said that there are so many wolves and a lot of meat, isn't it a pity to lose it? And we've been doing it for so long...... The women chattered and called non-stop, but Ye Feng didn't even have a chance to explain, so he got a head and two big.
Taba heard the movement here, walked over and asked, "What's going on?" The screaming is non-stop. ”
Ye Feng smiled bitterly and said, "You are the chief, you tell them that these poisoned gray wolves must not be eaten!" ”
Taye was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why can't you eat it?" ”
Ye Feng spent a lot of effort, and finally explained his willingness, and with a wave of his hand, Duo Ye found a place to throw away these poisoned wolves. Before throwing it, people in line with the principle of thrift and thrift, knocked off all the wolf's teeth one by one, and hung them around their necks to make decorations.
Originally, he was going to take off the wolf's skin, Ye Feng asked Chu Yun, but where would Chu Yun, a half-hung doctor, know, for the sake of prudence, Ye Feng did not agree, and everyone had to throw away the whole wolf.
Piles of wolf carcasses attracted nearby carnivores and scavengers. After these animals ate the wolf carcass, they had large and small poisoning reactions, causing a large number of carnivores to die, which made the tribe people afraid.
Ye Feng saw this secret sin, which caused the death of so many animals, but it also had benefits, in the future, there would be no carnivores, the number of herbivores around the tribe would increase greatly, and people would be less dangerous when hunting.
It took two days to dispose of these corpses, it was late autumn, it was not yet winter, the food had not been preserved for so long, and the meat taken from the wolf killed by the bow and arrow was nearly a thousand catties, and the tribe would eat it for a long time, and it might have gone bad before it was finished.
But fortunately, before the autumn, Ye Feng taught people how to preserve food, that is, to marinate bacon with salt, or smoke it into jerky, which greatly increased the meat stored by the tribe in winter.
"Hey! Be careful! Don't fall. Ye Feng looked at the last piece of bacon hanging on the cave wall today, and then looked at the dazzling array of bacon and bacon on the wall, and then looked at the various nuts and edible rhizomes piled up on the ground, and the pride in his heart arose.
"Whoa" The eight little wolf cubs began to call again, the sound echoed in the closed hole, people have been overwhelmed these days, if it weren't for Ye Feng Chuyun and their protection, these eight little wolf cubs are estimated to have stewed and eaten these primitive people.
"Oops! O my little darling! It's coming, it's coming! Don't bark anymore! "The eating, drinking, and Lazar of these little wolf cubs were all covered by Chu Yun, which made her a qualified shovel officer through and through, and she struggled for them every day.
I saw that she was holding a bamboo tube in her hand, which contained a milky white thick liquid, which was made from the stems of an unknown plant, which were extremely starchy, and the soup was very thick, just enough to feed this unweaned wolf cub.
Chu Yun took a thin piece of bamboo, picked out a little from the thick soup, and gently fed it to the little wolf cub, and the little wolf cub's crying stopped
