Chapter 303: The Necessity of Emasculation
Wang Chuan and the others stayed in the camp for two days before leaving. When the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info was leaving, Wang Chuan prepared some dowry gifts for the Yi people and explained the affairs of the tribe. I didn't prepare for these when I came out, so I had to hurry here.
Two days later, Wang Chuan was stronger than a tiger and a bull, and the five tiger chasers rode four tigers and baby elephants to the north with the little rhinoceros and the eaglet.
Wang Chuan did not ride a tiger, but rode on the back of a baby elephant. The remaining four rode tigers. Because Wang Chuan didn't want to ride a tiger, and because the tiger driver was still very concerned about Wang Chuan, he prepared four tigers.
The tiger had a limited load, so the baby rhinoceros turned into a pack horse, and most of the people's luggage was placed on its back.
The tiger's feet were no match for those of animals such as horses and baby elephants, and they had to hunt for them along the way, and there were two wounded men in the group, so they didn't walk very fast. You can walk up to forty or fifty kilometers a day, but that's a lot faster than a human walk.
Ignoring the cold face of the tiger exorcist to Wang Chuan, it is still very good to walk with the tiger on the road. These tigers have lost their ferocity under the hands of the tiger drivers, which makes Wang Chuan feel that these tigers are not much different from domestic cats, but they are just colder. Sometimes when resting, the tiger driver and a few tigers fight, and the scene is not much different from the scene where the shovel officer fights with the cats.
The baby elephant found that the tigers did not bite it, and liked to pretend to be the boss to tease them, just like the little wolf dogs in the tribe. It's just that these big cats are very cold, so that the baby elephants are always boring to themselves. But the baby elephant is a fool, even if the tiger doesn't respond, he can still entertain himself for a long time. This annoyed the tigers.
With these tigers present, other fierce beasts did not dare to approach, and there was no need to set up guards at night, so that Wang Chuan and his party walked extremely comfortably.
When he came out, Wang Chuan also asked Bihu to lead the way to see the place where he mined sulfur, Wang Chuan knew that there were few large sulfur mines in these places, and he did not report any hope for this mine, but when he arrived, he found that it was smaller than he imagined. It is a hot spring associated mine, the hot spring mist is curling, the water temperature is very high, and you can build a hot spring resort. But what is sulfur, I am afraid that if I mine ten tons or eight tons, it will be gone.
Coming out of the sulphur hot springs, continue on the road, and follow the last section of the savanna passage into the north of Osawa, where the animal migration road is almost over. Osawa is rich in water and grass, and some of the beasts will be scattered here for the summer, and some will cross Osawa to the north. To the north of Osawa is the grassland, where all the migratory animals end.
The tiger driver has never gone north, and when the tiger comes, he comes on foot, and he only remembers the direction, not the road. Wang Chuan was familiar with the migration stories left by the Yi people, and became the one who knew the way the most.
A few days later, under the leadership of Wang Chuan, he successfully passed through Daze and arrived to the north of Daze. Wang Chuan remembered that Bihu had said before that he had seen a tribe that planted millet here, and wanted to go and see it. At this time, Bihu had no physical obstacles, so he agreed to look for it and see how this planting tribe was doing.
But their opinions were opposed by the tiger chaperones. In the eyes of the tiger drivers, this is simply a waste of time, and the tiger's estrus period is getting closer and closer. Once the tiger is in heat, it may not listen to the command and will even run wild to find the tigress. Wang Chuan found that the four tigers were all male, because the female's strength was small, and it was completely unsuitable for riding. One or two of the four tigers were okay, but when all four left, the team immediately went back to paralysis.
Wang Chuan gave his own solution: "Have you ever thought about castrating the tiger? ”
Wang Chuan was afraid that the tiger exorcist would not know the meaning of castration, so he not only explained physically, but also taught a lesson to the tiger exorcist from the physiology of the animal.
Wang Chuan also learned in the past few days that the scars on the face of the tiger exorcist were caught by the tiger during the estrus period. Wang Chuan felt that since these tigers were difficult to control when they were in heat, why not learn from the methods of the shovelers in later generations to treat cats? The pigs raised by the River tribe are castrated. Before coming out, Wang Chuan had already thought about this plan, and he also peeled a few tigers to practice his hands, and he had a lot of experience in the physiological structure of tigers, and now he has some itchy hands.
Castration, a very common practice in later generations, is simply unreasonable in the eyes of tiger chasers. He still did not eliminate his vigilance against Wang Chuan, so he ignored Wang Chuan's statement.
The food on the road was made by Wang Chuan, and the medicine for the two injured patients was also boiled by Wang Chuan. Now that the tiger basically doesn't need to take medicine, and the tiger exorcist's injury is estimated to take a month or two to recover, Wang Chuan feels the need to let the tiger exorcist personally experience the feeling of estrus.
Leeches have the effect of healing strokes, bruises, and broken tendons and bones. When passing by Daze, Wang Chuan gained a lot from the animals. These things are difficult to remove when they are adsorbed on the animal, and pulling it out hard may break the leech's body and not be able to pull it out, Wang Chuan used salt water spraying to get it off the animal.
Leeches are afraid of salt, and a little salt water will make them loosen their mouths and flee for their lives.
Wang Chuan harvested hundreds of leeches, dried them with fireworks, ground them into powder, boiled them together with white wood incense, wild phoenixes, etc., and gave them to the tiger chasers. It is also very simple to let the tiger exorcist experience the feeling of estrus, Wang Chuan added dodder seeds and a tiger whip to the medicine.
This pot of medicine boiled out with a strong meaty aroma, Zhuang Niu wanted to taste it, but after Bihu saw the dodder in it, he remembered some past events and stopped Zhuang Niu. The tiger exorcist honestly and unceremoniously enjoyed this pot of medicine alone, and even ate the meat residue inside.
This night, Bihu talked about his women and children in the River tribe. He had two women in the River Tribe. One is the tall and thin original partner, who will be raised for a few years and finally gained weight. One is a quite capable concubine Shang Xiang. The original ration Bihu gave birth to two children. Now Shang Xiang is in charge of the tribe's weaving workshop, and also gave birth to a child for Bihu. Coupled with the wolf Ting and Wang Yong he adopted before, Bihu now has five children in the River tribe, and he can be regarded as a big family.
Speaking of these, Bihu asked about the situation of the tiger driver, and the tiger driver listened to the scream. He has been with tigers for many years, and although he has had women, those women are basically migrants, and they have not seen each other again after a short relationship. He didn't know what a child was.
Maybe it's the problem of the tiger that gives the tiger driver a stimulus, or maybe it's other reasons, the tiger driver is a little crazy this night. He spent the night with a few tigers, but from time to time he shouted at women and children, which made Zhuang Niu a little puzzled.
On the second day, the tiger exorcist had a nosebleed. He agreed to go and find a nearby tribe. and commanded the tiger to look around, and looked at Wang Chuan, hoping that Wang Chuan would let Xiaoying help.
It's already in the place where the migratory animals are scattered, and it's hard to see migrants. There is really no good solution other than finding nearby tribes.
According to Bihu's memory, he searched for the past, but did not find the original tribe that planted millet. Wang Chuan could see from some traces on the ground that the land here had been burned by fire. Slash-and-burn farming hurts the land, and the planters have to move around like shepherds, so it's not surprising that the tribe moved away.
Fortunately, Kitty found another small tribe nearby. This small tribe is not much different from most small tribes, women are in charge, and there is no concept of marriage. As soon as they saw that there were five sturdy men in Wang Chuan's team, they wished that they had blown away all the men of their tribe and left these five men behind. They warmly received Wang Chuan and his entourage. After some contact, after Wang Chuan paid a lot of jerky, they dispatched a number of women and tiger destroyers to warm up for one night.
In the process, Wang Chuan also found that they had a small amount of millet. So I exchanged a lot of jerky with them for a big bag of corn. It's a joy for all.
After daybreak, he said goodbye to this tribe, and the tiger exorcist asked Wang Chuan: "Is there no problem with castration?" ”
