The wolf kept whispering and roaring into the crowd, clawing around a few times and whining a few more times into the distance.

"Take your family back, and come and see five people with me."

The woman and child returned to the cave under the protection of a dozen men, and Chen Jian and several adult men followed behind the wolf with wooden spears and stone axes.

The wolf seemed to be quite anxious, limping its front paws, keeping a certain distance from the human, and constantly wailing forward.

It hadn't gone far before the wolf stopped, whining at a pile of rocks.

Chen Jian walked over to take a look, and the wolf made a gesture of goodwill to the person, but there was still a lot of vigilance in his eyes.

There was a whining sound in the cave, and when I looked through the cracks, it turned out that there were seven or eight wolf cubs inside.

This should be the wolf's cave, I don't know why the stone collapsed, and there are many traces of claw digging next to it, and there are traces of blood on the scratches.

The wolf was clever enough to know that there was nothing he could do about it, and instead sought the help of someone who was already familiar with each other's existence.

The wolf cubs inside should have just opened their eyes for more than ten days, stupid and cute, whining inside.

The tribesmen didn't think much of it, and they prepared to move the stones.

Chen Jian observed the she-wolf, and his vigilance against people was still very high.

It is said that wolves are in pairs, but you can't see the presence of male wolves when you look around.

The wolf skin patted Jian Chen and motioned for Jian Chen to move a stone with him, but Jian Chen said, "Don't worry. ”

After looking around and seeing that there were no other wolves, he observed the condition of the little wolf cubs.

The little wolf cubs inside are still lactating, and the wolf's lactation period is very short, and you can avoid milk for about a month, and it looks like the cubs inside are not big.

Everyone stopped, Chen Jian hesitated, and suddenly grabbed the stone spear on the ground and plunged it towards the she-wolf.

The she-wolf usually never gets so close to people, but this time she is worried and can't care so much.

Laugh at......

The sharp tip of the spear pierced the ribs of the she-wolf, and the clansmen reacted very quickly, although they didn't know what Jian Chen was going to do, they didn't hesitate at all, and suddenly five stone spears pierced the defenseless she-wolf one after another.

The she-wolf screamed, covered in blood, and finally lay on the ground. The bloody front paws twitched a few times to save the child, and finally froze there motionless.

"Drag it back."

The two men nodded, dragging the she-wolf's corpse towards the cave. The remaining three men turned over the stone and snatched the wolf out of the stinking cave.

There were nine wolf cubs in total, one of which was stoned to death when it collapsed, and eight remained.

He was grabbed in his hands and screamed.

Chen Jian confirmed that these wolves can be fed, firstly, because they can basically survive without breast milk, and secondly, the wolves do not have to eat meat, because these wolves near the tribe often eat some abandoned offal, which contains a lot of undigested vegetarian food, and these wolves can also use the nutrients in it over time.

If, as a certain book says, wolves are sacred and free, and wolf nature is untamable, then where do dogs come from?

The previous she-wolf was not hostile to people, and even showed a gesture of obedience, but Jian Chen didn't want to leave a little trouble.

If my mother doesn't die, how can my stepmother get on top?

Only wolves that have grown up with people since childhood can be domesticated into dogs.

Humanistic care and compassion for all things, that is when the human race will no longer worry about living today and starving to death tomorrow.

This she-wolf still misses her child until she dies, and it is great and touching. But who hasn't eaten an egg yet? Even if you don't eat eggs, aren't the rice and wheat beans all plants that have been pregnant for a year?

Several wolf cubs were grabbed in their hands, constantly gently biting the back of the person's hand, as if they were looking for breast milk, and they were probably hungry.

When she was brought back to the cave, the she-wolf had been peeled off by the tribesmen, and she was very thin because of the offspring.

People gathered around to see the eight little wolves, and the little wolves suddenly saw so many people, and they were a little frightened and trembling.

"Yu Qian'er, you and your sisters and brothers raise them."

"Huh!"

He found a pile of stones, made a small circle near the rock wall of the cave, and placed eight wolf cubs inside.

Now that the tribe has plenty of food, some of the internal organs are usually thrown outside, and the tribesmen don't care much about having a few more living creatures.

The children had a natural affection for this furry thing, so their minds shifted from the three little chicks to the little wolf.

If you kill their mothers, you don't have to worry about following the wildness of your mother's learning, and you will be able to integrate into human society more easily, and even treat people as masters.

I took a bird's egg, found some minced meat and mutton fat, mixed it into a jar and heated it, threw it in and cooked it with the remaining tubers and fern root powder, and the slimy mess came out of the pot.

"In the future, I will feed it like this, and after three or four days, I can directly feed the rest of the food."

After Yu Qian'er waited for it to cool, she hurriedly poured it into a broken pottery bowl with a gap and put it next to the little wolf cub.

When the little wolf saw the man coming, he hurriedly shrank into the corner.

"It doesn't eat. What to do? ”

"If you are hungry for a day, you will eat it, leave it alone, and when you have started to eat in two or three days, then move this stone away, and let it play with you, and don't lose it."

"Hmm."

After cleaning up this, Jian Chen and a few men left the cave to hunt, and when he left, he told the woman in charge of cooking that the wolf skin of the she-wolf should be soaked in the gray water of the grass and trees.

Only seven or eight people went hunting this time, and the rest of the people were arranged for the old grandmother to do something else.

Wolf Skin and Jian Chen walked side by side, thought for a while and said, "Jian, I want to go out with you to have a look." ”

Several people in the same company also expressed their desire to go, and Jian Chen shook his head and said, "There should be enough people in the family, just count my five men and five women." Let's go back and see what everyone thinks. ”

Ten people is the number calculated by Jian Chen, who can protect himself when encountering a beast, can scare away the beast, and is convenient to deal with in case of any special situation.

Now I am thinking about how to walk, as long as I have two legs, it will definitely not work, ten days back and forth, five days and a half, it is only two or three hundred miles away, and I am exhausted.

Originally, I thought that the first means of transportation was to ride animals such as cows and horses, but now it seems that I can only change it.

After finding a few large birch trees that were straight and more than a person thick, Jian Chen and the wolf skin climbed to the tree and cut a hole from top to bottom with a stone knife.

Tearing it hard, the three-meter-long, nearly two-meter-wide birch bark was torn off.

The bark of the birch tree is a bit like oiled paper, it is rich in various oils, it burns when it hits fire, and it is very soft and tough.

The outside is as white as snow, the inside is as yellow as oil, and when it is torn off, it rolls into a ball.

"Ken, what are you going to do with this bark?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

A few people peeled six or seven huge birch barks, saw that it was still early, and led them to a place with more pine trees halfway up the mountain.

The pine trees that had never been cut down gave off a fresh fragrance, and the grass underneath was very small.

He took out a stone axe, cut off the skin of a pine tree, dug out a Y groove, and pasted a large blade of grass underneath the Y groove.

The tears of the pine tree fell on the blades of grass one by one, and the sticky pine resin became more and more.

There are trees, but there is no need to worry about the protection of any species, and the rest of the people are looking forward to knowing what to do in the end, and they are getting started.

Soon, hundreds of pine trees had such a strange Y-groove, and the bark was peeled off, revealing the pine glands inside, which fell into the large blades of grass that were bent into a cage.

It's about the same, it takes time to take pine resin, Jian Chen sighed, I'm afraid I won't be able to go today.

After returning to the cave, he discussed with the clansmen who would go out tomorrow, and the wolf skin must go, and brought three cousins, two aunts and three cousins. There were ten people in total.

In order to prevent accidents, a jar of maple sugar, a jar of boiled mutton fat and minced meat was prepared, and Jian Chen would not eat this thing until he had to do so.

Even without salt, the meat can be preserved for a meal, the fat is boiled into fat, and the cooked meat is mixed in it, and it can be preserved for about ten days.

Add a lot of dried fish, and if you are careful about it, you can guarantee that you will not go hungry within three to five days.

There are a lot of things, and the people are guessing how to get these things? Wolf skin is considering the relationship between these things and birch bark and pine resin.

In the evening, the tribesmen were taught how to use grass and ash to tann fur and how to make soap, and the next morning, before the sun rose, Chen Jian woke up the wolf skin, and the two of them retrieved the pine resin.

The wolf skin felt that he had learned another method, which used to be taken directly from the trunk of the tree, which was far worse than this method.

On the way back, he cut down a few small trees the size of his wrist, and when he returned to the cave, he woke up the tribesmen, which required their help.

Two small trees three meters long were placed side by side, fixed with three horizontal logs of about one meter, and wrapped with a large amount of rope to make a simple boat gang.

The huge birch bark stretched on the outside, and after the bow and stern were sewn together with bone needles, and slightly roasted with fire, the birch bark immediately and naturally shrank inward.

The pine resin of the clay pot force melts and spreads on the place of connection while hot.

The outside is covered with another layer of wood, which is tightly tied together with the rope and the boat inside, except for the two layers of wood that are tightly clamped to the birch, and once in the water, the wood will expand and can be clamped more tightly.

Coating all possible leaks with pine and mutton oil, inspecting them, and carrying improvised birch boats down the hill with wolf skins.

The tribesmen followed them to the river, and the magical scene was deeply engraved in their minds.

In the river, standing on the bark of a birch tree that has completed the crescent moon, it did not sink to the bottom, but floated down the water!

The tribesmen have seen wooden sticks floating in the water, and they have seen mandarin ducks swimming in the water, but even if they are mandarin ducks, their feet are really underwater, how can Jian stand on the water?

The light birch bark is thin, but it is also tough, especially when wet, and it is not easy to tear apart the stubble.

Compared to canoes, birch bark boats are lighter and can be used by one person, and they can be used in shallow water, as long as they are half a meter deep.

The disadvantage is that the service life is only one year, and it is not as safe to transport goods as a wooden ship, but it is suitable for expeditions.

The sealing of pine resin and lanolin is good, and the light boat has a shallow draft.

The clansmen watched in amazement, until Jian Chen dragged the birch bark boat back from below, pointed and shouted loudly, "Boat! ”

The old grandmother drew the shape of a crescent moon on the ground with a wooden stick, muttering the pronunciation of the boat, and a new script was born.

In my heart, I was a little less worried about Jian Chen's outing, and a little more expectant.

By noon, the three boats, the poles, and the wood pulp had been completed.

After having lunch with the people, the old grandmother sprinkled the ashes on everyone's body and told them to be careful.

Saying goodbye to their families one by one, with the expectation of a new life and the anxiety of the unknown, ten people got on the boat.

Stone spears, five bone rakes, bows and arrows, clay pots, fire-roasted moss and fibre ropes, fibre sacks, food, and the hopes and blessings of the people were loaded onto the ship.

The shadow of the birch bark boat became smaller and smaller, and finally it was obscured by the grass and trees......

Yu Qian'er rubbed her red and swollen eyes and asked an answer that she knew clearly.

"When will my brother come back?"

"When the moon is full."

The old grandmother took Yu Qian'er's hand and led the people back to the cave, begging the ancestors to protect their children and grandchildren.
