Chapter 143: Canyon Hunting
Bamboo chickens can also be said to be birds, because they only weigh about half a catty when they grow up, and they are mostly used as ornamental chickens in modern times. Unlike pheasants, that is, pheasants can grow to weigh two or three catties, and the eggs laid can be half taels, which is suitable for eating meat and picking up eggs.
If he wants to raise chickens, he will definitely find a big one, but now he has not encountered bamboo chickens, this kind of small pheasants that are commonly found in the vicinity of bamboo forests, the meat is very delicious, relatively speaking, it is also relatively easy to catch, and can catch a live litter.
When he was working in modern times, he knew a pig slaughterer who lived in the mountains, and this man once got a dozen bamboo chickens, so he invited a few friends to eat them, and he ate that time, and heard about the method of arrest at the dinner table.
To sum it up, it is just four words, catching chickens under the moon is also called IQ catching emergencies. Because the bamboo chickens have a hobby, they like to line up in a row, occasionally during the day, and if they live on a tree at night, a cluster of bamboo chickens will squat on the same branch, and the chickens will be next to the chickens, and if one of them falls, the chickens next to them will quickly fill the position;
If you live in a crevice in the rocks, you can reach in and touch a chicken, and the captor will fill in until he is caught.
The process is so cool, the only thing that is more difficult is that he needs to find a tree or a rock crevice where the bamboo chicken rests, which he is looking for.
Of course, you can also catch bamboo chickens during the day, it depends on the accuracy of the bow and arrow, he has little confidence, so he still honestly goes to find the bamboo chicken's den.
Just if you want to catch chickens, you need to wait until the evening to weigh the gains and losses, then spend the night here, and you can't travel without food.
More than a dozen people searched in the wild bamboo forest, and soon there was a harvest, it was Pab who caught the big luck and found a stone crevice, which had obvious traces and feathers, and the arms could be stretched into the gaps, and it would not work if the feet were changed, which was most suitable for bamboo chickens as a den.
"It's this kind of gap, everyone is looking carefully, and when they find it, they will write down the place, and we will come back in the evening." Su Yang rubbed his hands excitedly, first got some bamboo chickens and went back to try to raise them, and if he caught the excess, he would satisfy his appetite.
This bamboo forest is very large, and it is estimated that you can pick bamboo shoots at that time, and all kinds of bamboo have a picking period of several months, so you can eat it.
Then they found ten suspected places of bamboo chicken dens, wrote them down and continued to hunt, and they had been busy for so long that they had not eaten.
"It looks like an owl, can you eat it?"
"What is this, water spinach."
Su Yang arrived at a valley at this time, the climate here is warmer than outside, and a green plant was torn off on the edge of the waterhole, a bit like rattan, the leaves are long and pointed, and the stem is hollow, so the water spinach is also called Kongtong cabbage, rattan vine vegetables, and the scientific name is bracken.
It is rumored that there was a talented young man in the Tang Dynasty who mistook water spinach when he was hungry, so he realized that the true meaning of martial arts is hollowness, and created the Kongtong School, one of the five major schools of Taoism. Well, that's pure.
However, the water spinach belongs to the origin of China, and it is not surprising that he can see it now, the one on his hand is less than ten centimeters, and it has not grown.
Su Yang sniffed it and found that there was no peculiar smell, so he pinched it off and saw that it was indeed hollow inside, but he was still worried that it was poisonous, what if he admitted it wrong? Wouldn't it be very sad?
Originally, I wanted the soldiers to try it, but considering that others are also fate, not to mention that they couldn't distinguish the taste at all, I had to muster up the courage to bite and eat a section, water spinach is a relatively tender dish, and it cooks very quickly when cooking, whether it is boiled or fried, it can be out of the pot in one minute.
But the smell of Mao is not right, phew, Su Yang spit it out, and hurriedly picked up the water and rinsed his mouth repeatedly to eliminate the uncomfortable smell, it is definitely not a water spinach, admit it wrong, but how do you feel that it looks exactly the same, and the characteristics are completely attached, could it be that the water spinach in later generations has been specially cultivated?
Let the soldiers rest first, he walked to the side to recall the knowledge in his mind, hoping to find some clues, but he didn't expect that there was a plant commonly known as "dog intestines", similar to water spinach, growing on the edge of the water source, extremely tenacious vitality, growth rate is also very fast, larger and longer than water spinach, and the fertility requirements are not high. This kind of dog intestines, which cannot be eaten by humans, can be used to feed livestock, and belongs to the water spinach in the eyes of fat pigs.
"Sister, it turned out that I ate pigweed, no wonder I felt that it tasted wrong."
But there is also a harvest, and he has found a good thing to feed pigs, but he would rather find a water spinach that people can eat, and he is resentful.
Until the afternoon, more than a dozen people did not find anything to eat, he had already eaten several handfuls of snow, he really couldn't bear it, sure enough, common sense can be harmful, he thought that hunting at this time of year was too simple.
A qualified primitive warrior requires patience, and even lions and tigers often starve, and hunt with all their might several times in exchange for meat, so he has nothing to complain about.
At this moment, when the time finally came, he said, Well, obviously Elder Sky Wolf had divined last night, and this trip was very fruitful, how could he be hungry, superstitious.
They saw a deer, without antlers, but with a large size, pale brown fur, looking for something to eat in the woods.
"This deer runs fast, Sue, leave a few people to protect you, and I'll take people to hunt deer." Prabhu whispered that he was ready to become a dog.
Su Yang nodded, although he is now older, his endurance and explosiveness are good, and his balance is very strong, but he still can't outrun the adult warrior, "Leave three people, and the rest will go and catch the deer back." ”
"Don't worry."
Immediately, Prabhu dispersed with eleven warriors, each of whom could kill the hornless deer on their own, but only if they could catch up.
Su Yang didn't see the excitement either, he and the three warriors slowly followed, maybe they could help. Seeing that the twelve people in front of him were fan-shaped and surrounded him, he was careful enough, but he was still discovered, and the deer was frightened, and instantly started to run to a low place, jumping and jumping as he ran, just like a rabbit, jumping high and looking at him dumbfounded.
Prabhu and the others reacted quickly enough, and they moved their legs like crazy to chase after them, and in a blink of an eye, the deer and the warriors were gone.
Su Yang and the others also followed, and when they passed through the forest, they suddenly saw a strange triangular canyon environment, at the bottom was a very small stream, and there were high slopes on both sides, and the deer ran from below, and Pabhu and his party chased down.
"Let's go, let's go down too." The environment is clear at a glance, nothing to be afraid of, there are no tall trees on the slopes on both sides, only some stones and low vegetation, and the sight is very good.
It's just that this hillside is a bit high, and the visual difference between the altitude and the above is about 300 meters, and the deer runs downhill, which is simply amazing, jumping fast, and sometimes the four legs will take advantage of it.
He ran out of breath, and there was still a long way to go, but he believed that Prabhu and the others would eventually catch up with the deer, and fought hard for meat. (To be continued.) )
