Chapter 10 Cattle Taming

Seeing that a cow was knocked into the trap and let out a scream, the stone in his heart would definitely follow the other cows even if he put it down, thinking in his heart, the last bull ran to the pit and heard the scream of a cow, and also saw the trap and wanted to stop, but was pushed into the pit by the cow later, and then fell into the pit one by one, the most ten bison were almost filled with traps, and a calf did not fall into the trap because he ran slowly but stood on the edge of the pit. The flame encirclement of the www.biquge.info crowd surrounded it, and the little bison jumped uneasily and jumped to the right to see the flames around him getting closer and closer, and the timid calf jumped into the pit by himself. The cow body is round and the cow skin is smooth, how can it be stepped on, and it fell down in an instant, and the small bison of hundreds of catties also pressed the herd of cattle under him to howl one after another, and people trembled when they heard it.

All the cattle fell into the trap and became beef on a felt board, to be slaughtered. The whole round-up took only 2 minutes. Although the preparation process was time-consuming, the sun was just halfway up the mountain, and there was still nearly half a day to clean up the battlefield, and although the battle against the round-up of cattle was won and short-lived, everyone's sense of fatigue was still strong. Yao Ran himself sat directly on the ground.

After resting for a few minutes, discarding the torch in his hand, Yao Ran took out the rope and put it on the head of the calf who jumped into the pit at the end, and put it on for more than a dozen times before he finally tightened the trap. A few people were called and dragged to the edge of the low pit. The calf also lifted his legs more cooperatively, moving his body in the direction of the rope. This bison just can't speak, otherwise there must be a lot of noise in the trap now, crying dad and scolding. The calf was smoothly dragged out of the trap, frightened and uneasy still hovering around it, although there was no threat of torches, but the pressure on it from the people around it was still great, Yao Ran was kind to the cow and retreated, only the stone and the river wood dragged the rope in his hand, and he also stood three or four meters away, Yao Ran held the grass in his hand, the long sideways body of his hand, moved to the calf little by little, saw the crowd leaving, only one person in front of him, the calf did not spread his hooves and ran, but stayed quietly in place, when the grass was delivered to his mouth, it also lowered his head and sniffed, It may be that there is a taste of Yao Ran, and the little bison did not eat it. But at Yao Ran's insistence, he shook the grass in his hand in front of the little bison again. Because Yao Ran didn't know the habits of this bison, whether he had the habit of eating if he was afraid. Yao Ran had just heard that if the child cried and received some milk, no matter what reason he cried, he would always be quiet for a while. The little bison was super noodle and ate the grass in Yao Ran's hand. Yao Ran continued to lower his body and grabbed a handful of more grass and put it in a remote place in front of the little bison, while the little bison followed Yao Ran's hand and walked a few steps forward.

Although the stone was puzzled, why did these foods catch and move, and why did they feed it, he was surprised to see that the little bison had followed Yao Ran for a distance of more than ten steps. Yao Ran stretched out his hand to signal to Hemu, and Hemu threw the noose he had made before to Yao Ran. The calf followed Yao Ran's hand and ate the grass on the ground. Yao Ran tied a rope with a rope that could be put on the cow's chest. Just when the calf was grazing, he lowered his head and put it on his body. I felt a little uneasy that something was trapping my little bison. was blocked by the grass that Yao Ran had prepared, and the little bison ate it again. After putting on the noose, Yao Ran motioned to the man with the log and handed the log over, Yao Ran gently stroked the back of the little bison, and with one hand, put the wooden stick into the live buckle left by the lasso, and tied it tightly, and wrapped it a few times. After doing a good job on the left and right, he repeated the action just now, and the little bison was very cooperative. This made Yao Ran overjoyed. Yao Ran signaled that the brother who took the log could let go. He took out a piece of rope from his waist and tied the left and right logs together to form a "V" shape. Yao Ran held the front end of the noose, passed it under the tripe, repeated it several times, and finally tied a carabiner. The two ropes arrived in Yao Ran's hands, and he walked in front of the little bison, leading the calf and walking a few steps, maybe he had fed it a few times before, and with the foreshadowing, the little bison actually followed Yao Ran. Everything went so smoothly. When winding the rope, Yao Ran saw this little bison stone mother, perhaps because of this, this calf is more docile. Or is he so handsome, even the cow has a good impression of him, haha Yao Ran himself felt blushing, and actually laughed out loud. Yao Ran didn't let the river wood and stone loosen the earliest lasso until Yao Ran walked to a tree with the calf and wrapped the noose around the noose, and then began to untie the lasso. patted the back of the little bison, good fellow, this calf is about the same age as the domestic cattle of later generations.

With the first experience, Yao Ran came out with another little bison, repeated the action just now, and it was just as smooth, maybe the fear in the trap had worn out the little bison's sense of resistance. However, the second baby bison did not have any more lassoes, but only a noose. And tied it to a tree with the little bison from before. Unfortunately, this bison is also female, and there is a lack of experience in experimenting with bulls. Kawaki was worried about what to do if he didn't bring so much food. You can't still waste food here, and in a primitive society it's no different from suicide.

The third calf was in some trouble, he was unwilling to follow Yao Ran, this was a stubborn bull, Yao Ran subdued it in a very simple and rude way, and beat him if he was disobedient. Finally, it was tied to the other two calves. He gradually quieted down. It seems that cattle also have a herd effect.

The fourth cow is also relatively docile. After the rope is set, you can barely follow the people.

The fifth cow was not very lucky to break its leg, and the left front leg was visibly folded inward at an angle, but unfortunately it could have been cured without the veterinarian.

Because today's harvest is something that everyone has never had, Yao Ran arranged for 6 people to collect logs, and he took the rope he brought to make a rope. And unveiled Kawaki's doubts about waste. "Don't worry, there are five bison, and the cow will follow us obediently," and the beef could be brought back with all.

The sixth bison is supposed to be the mother of a baby bison by the tree. After the cow came up, she searched for the smell and found the location of the little bison and shook her head vigorously to go under the tree, Yao Ran was weaving ropes, and the others had no experience in domesticating animals. So Yao Ran pointed out the method and braided the rope in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the seventh and eighth heads were trapped, one of them was dying, and the other showed no obvious damage. But it may be that the pressure will not go for a long time.

The rest of the trap was the bull, and the first one to fall into the trap was apparently dead. It took a lot of effort for everyone to take off the bison that was supposed to be dead, and after dragging it up, Yao Ran still put the unlucky bull on the stretcher of the first little bison.

The head of the cow felt dying when the horns of the third bull squeezed into the trap pierced his belly, but after being dragged up, his tenacious vitality prompted him to stand up again. Drops of blood flowed down the wound. Yao Ran felt that if he was allowed to bleed like this, he would not stop walking home, and it would be easy to attract fierce beasts and wolves on the way. He tore a piece of animal skin, stood with some dirt, and slapped it on the wound of a cow. The bleeding of the cow has stopped for the time being. Probably knowing his fate soon, the cow showed little resistance.

When it was the turn of the last bison, the bull was only smashed a few times without being hurt very much, and after being pulled up, he jumped around, looking disobedient. At a time when everyone is at a loss. The one who went out to look for logs went and returned. Eventually, the bull was quieted for a while. After everything is packed up. On the way home, the third bull walked last, always screwing his strength and not wanting to follow the team, so everyone had to stab him a few times, especially when he was also pierced in the stomach. This time, Yao Ran didn't mean to stop the bleeding. If there really is a beast chasing after you. It was decided to abandon the bull.

As a result, he walked all the way back to the front of the village, ready to start distributing the fruits of this hunt, Yao Ran resolutely took four cows, three little bison, and a docile cow. In this way, Yao Ran can have three mothers, one male, and four cows. The cow is only halfway down the road and then it can't go. It was pulled back with a cow on a shelf. This was the first time that people saw animal power instead of human power. Such a weak cow can pull something bigger than his body. The rest of the people at the "Spoils Sharing Conference" asked for a part that they were satisfied with. Primitive man did not have a clear idea of quantity. But the extent of this harvest is far greater than the results of the usual hunting. Everyone's income is several times higher than usual. So no one questioned Yao Ran's unreasonable demands. This made the rhetoric that Yao Ran had prepared long ago useless. Yao Ran could only smile helplessly.

Along the way, Shi thought about a lot of things, and felt more and more that Yao Ran was different. After thinking about it, the stone walked up to Yao Ran, "I want to follow you"

"Huh? Why are you following me? ”

"You're going to make my life better."

That's right, to live better, human needs are based on survival, and then they will continue to ask, only those who are not satisfied, will have greater motivation and release greater energy.

"Would you like to let you move down the mountain?" Yao Ran asked with interest. Yao Ran suddenly felt that this stone was very interesting. This is a good thinker, which is very valuable in primitive societies. Thinking in the right direction and executing it will promote the progress of the whole civilization. Using the wrong direction can set civilization backwards, and even worse, cause a catastrophe of destruction.

The stone pondered for a while and did not give an affirmative answer, but asked, "Why?" ”

Yao Ran began to continuously improve his evaluation of stones. began to explain patiently. Because I was going to start domesticating livestock, I needed a bigger field. The cave is damp and unventilated, and it is not suitable for long-term habitation.

"Can't you live without ventilation, if you don't ventilate?" Stone thinks quickly and can identify problems, so that he can better understand the essence of things. And not ignorant blind obedience.

"If you don't ventilate, there will be turbidity, and if you inhale too much turbidity, you will get sick and die," Yao Ran patiently explained. About why animals are domesticated, why build a ventilated house under the mountain, and what a house is.

Shi asked this question all the way, and helped Yao Ran lead the ox all the way to the bottom of the dirt slope where the sound of knocking and rubbing was one after another. The huge beast brought back by Yao Ran shook Xiaoyu, and at the same time stunned everyone who was working. explained to Xiaoyu and repaired the fishing nets, while the stone had been standing or squatting beside Yao Ran. Today, these laborers still have to be paid, and this is the second time they have hired workers, and the wages of migrant workers cannot be in arrears, let alone the wages of primitive people. Yao Ran asked Xiaoyu to continue to stay at home. After feeding the little gray ash, he took the stone to the river, and it was almost dark, and the direction of the river bank walked back one after another many people holding the stone. These are supposed to be for the reward of five fish. Yao Ran thought that it seemed that he would have to catch a few more nets today.

The stone was taught the same operation steps as Xiaoyu, and the stone's bright little eyes were thoughtful. After the nets, bait, and nets are completed. Looking at the fish in the net, the stone was stunned.

Yao Ran enjoyed the frightened and adoring gaze of the stone. Thinking about what to say at this time. From the mouth, the role of General Yao Shi's life was inscribed. "Be prepared for anything." Yao Ran gently raised the fishing net in his hand, then spread out his hand and raised the meat foam in his hand, "If you want to repay, you have to pay first." ”
