Chapter 47: Tracking the Proboscis Horse

The wedding of Strongtooth and Redfish ends up in the envious gaze of the people, and people don't know how this wedding will change their future.

The birth of the family is the beginning of private ownership, in ancient times, the end of the marriage of couples, is the main factor in the collapse of the clan commune system, Wang Lang although their small tribe is not even a clan commune, but as long as people want to make their families better, children grow stronger, and people with strong abilities get more things, so that the tribe will have a certain differentiation between the rich and the poor, Wang Lang also knows that if this problem is not handled well, then this is undoubtedly a time bomb for himself.

Any great change will trigger social turmoil, people transition from the primitive Datong society to the family unit private ownership society, if the living standards of the majority of the people are not as good as before, then the interests of the part of the people who have been harmed will definitely rise up.

If Wang Lang wants to realize his ideals, he must let people get more benefits, use the gods as an excuse, he can only be stable for a while, and if he wants to develop for a long time, only by letting people get vital benefits, can everyone accept his reforms.

In the days after the wedding, the sky was not beautiful, and it rained for several days, and although the rain was not heavy, it still made the tribe muddy.

Because of the fact that they had hunted enough prey in the previous few days, and because of the weather, the people did not go out to continue hunting, but stayed in the tribe and built houses with the women, and there was no shelter from the wind and rain above their heads, and they could be said to have suffered a lot these days.

After several days of hard work, two thatched huts of more than ten square meters were built in the open space in the center of the tribe, these two simple houses are shaped like ancient spired barns, without windows, and only a one-meter-wide entrance is used as a door.

Due to the small number of houses now, Wang Lang can only let people live separately for the time being.

In this drizzly weather, although the house has just been built and the mud on the walls has not yet dried, at least you don't have to endure the feeling of rain on your body when you stay inside.

In the house where the men were, Wuyun said worriedly: "Lang, we don't have much salt, it seems that we can only last seven or eight days." ”

Wang Lan was silent for a while and said, "When the rain stops, we will go out to find salt, as long as we follow the animals here, we should be able to find it." ”

The people sighed, this place is good, except that there are no salt mines, so they can't help but miss the salt land in the jungle.

"Patriarch, patriarch, those wolves are here again." A small child playing outside ran in and said.

Wang Lang nodded to indicate that he understood, waved his hand to let the child go out to play by himself, and warned them not to provoke the wolves.

"Lang, kill them or not!" Fire asked.

Ever since the people threw their uneaten entrails outside the wall, they attracted these wolves, and these wolves have been wandering around the tribe for the past few days, waiting for the leftovers thrown out of the tribe, although they have not made any threatening moves, but the people still feel very awkward to have so many beasts outside.

Wang Lang was also a little worried at first, but after seeing these small wolves, he had an idea in his heart, this animal should try to be domesticated, as long as they don't make a move to harm humans, don't pay attention to them.

Wang Lang shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them. ”

Hearing Wang Lang say this, Huo didn't mind, those little beasts would not threaten people's safety, and there was not much meat to kill them, but they looked a little annoying.

The drizzle continued to fall outside until the clouds of the next morning, and the golden sun poured out on the earth, announcing the arrival of a new day.

The rain stopped, according to yesterday's plan, Wang Lang took four men out of the tribe early in the morning to look for salt mines, Wang Lang did not see the wolves outside the tribe, and did not know where they ran to forage for food.

It is impossible to find a salt mine without a purpose, and Wang Lang's plan is to follow some herbivores who must know where to find salt after living here for a long time.

This matter takes time and patience to complete, Wang Lang had promised to go out for at least seven or eight days before leaving the tribe, so in order not to affect the life of the tribe, so he only brought four people out.

An hour after leaving the tribe, Wang Lang and the others found the target of the tracking, it was a group of strange-looking horses grazing in the distance, the group of horses in the distance had brown and yellow hair, the most characteristic thing was their long noses, although the length was very weird, but the mane on their necks, and the tail of the horse made Wang Lang recognize that this was a horse, but this kind of horse was much smaller than the horses of that world.

The size of the herd is very large, Wang Lang roughly estimated, there are about a hundred or so, these long-nosed horses grazing leisurely did not find Wang Lang and others who were secretly observing them.

After the five of them waited patiently for a long time, the horses finally left the area, and Wang Lang and the others hurriedly followed, far behind the horses.

After a few hours of walking along the river, the herd stopped to continue grazing.

Looking at the stopped horses, the five of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this kind of tracking is too tiring, it doesn't matter to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times, but also to keep up with the speed of the horses, this kind of intensity of movement, it is really a little difficult for humans.

The five of them sat in the grass, enduring the sun's rays, munching on the roasted jerky, all a little depressed, not knowing when the tracking would end.

"Lang, are we going to keep following it like this?" Dark Cloud asked.

"Well, that's the only way, let's keep following, it's impossible for these grazing animals not to eat salt." Wang Lang said as he pulled away the grasshopper lying on his body.

As the night fell, the horses in the distance did not leave, a few people could only raise a few fires, let the night watch people observe the movement of the horses, others seized all the time to rest, the first day of tracking was a little unbearable, if you don't keep your spirit, the next day will not be able to last.

At night, the howls of wild beasts in the grasslands filled the night sky, and night watchmen could occasionally see a pair of green eyes walking through the grass, and these night hunters came out to forage in the cool night after avoiding the daytime sun.

Due to the presence of firelight, although there were a few pairs of eyes staring here, but after just a few glances, they went to look for other prey, and everyone on duty at night was highly nervous, and did not dare to let the fire go out for a moment, which was their greatest guarantee in this dangerous night.

There was a commotion from the horses in the distance, I don't know what animal attacked, after a few screams, the rioting horses returned to calm, in the face of the death of their companions, these proboscis horses will not even look at it after they are safe, they know that the predator will naturally leave after they are full, the law of survival of the fittest in nature is vividly reflected in the night of this grassland, killing and death are everywhere.
