Chapter Forty-Seven: The Bitter Daddy
Lin Bei went to the lower reaches of the small river this time, and first, Lin Bei showed traces of large beasts.
The so-called large beasts refer to tigers, bears and other beasts, Lin Beixian's one is bigger than the two, combined with the Asian elephants that Lin Bei saw a few days ago, he has every reason to think that a herd of elephants passed here not long ago.
The range of activity of elephants is generally grassland or wasteland, in fact, their activity rate in the forest is very low, because the forest is too dangerous, if you encounter hungry wolves or jackals, they may also attack them, and they are easy to lose their way in the forest, guide zhì and the group are separated, and the lost lone elephant is still quite dangerous in the forest.
However, now the outside has been occupied by humans, and in ancient times, there was no such thing as protecting animals, and they would kill wild beasts when they saw them, so the elephant herd had no choice but to venture into the forest.
"Looking at these thick toe prints, the number of elephants is estimated to be more than ten, but I don't know if it's a group or two groups, maybe a group is still the Asian elephants I've seen before, but because they occupy the upstream, so these elephants can only travel long distances to drink water downstream, so it is estimated that there is really no water source in a long distance."
In the forest, only the most powerful beasts can occupy the best territory, and the rest of the more gentle beasts that are not so powerful will retreat one after another, although the elephant is huge, it is not good at fighting, and it is natural that it will avoid Lin Bei, don't you see that even wild boars dare not wander around Lin Bei's territory now? Because they instinctively felt that there was extremely dangerous there, although Lin Bei didn't mean to kill all the wild boars.
"If you have the chance, you have to let these elephants live well, and it's better to divide an area for them." Lin Bei muttered, "In addition, it may be possible for elephants and humans to live in peace." ”
In later generations, Asian elephants have been quite rare, and most of them were killed by humans for the sake of elephant tusks, which is a symbol of the elephant's guilt, and it is precisely because of the ivory that the hunt is endless.
But if the elephant is integrated into the human group, it is like ploughing the ox, as far as Lin Bei knows, there is actually a saying about serving elephants very early in ancient times, and the well-known Shang Dynasty King Su once rode an elephant to attack the Dongyi tribe, and Meng Shu's mount is also an elephant, and it may even be a mammoth.
Elephants are actually more powerful than ploughing cattle, because they are larger and stronger, and it is obviously feasible to replace ploughing cattle, so if they can be integrated into the human group, elephants will not only not be killed, but will be vigorously protected, just like the ancient people protected ploughing cattle, in ancient times, killing cattle was a big crime, and it would be killed by the government.
Lin Bei had already faintly formed a plan in his heart, and he only waited for the people from Xishan Township to come over and trade with him.
In addition to the traces of elephants, Lin Bei also got back more than a dozen eggs, which appeared in a muddy beach, when Lin Bei went, it was like the scene of a car accident, everywhere were trampled by various beasts, countless broken eggshells were scattered in the mud and sand, seeing this situation, Lin Bei immediately thought that this should be the spawning ground of soft-shelled turtles, but now the spawning ground was destroyed by wild beasts.
After searching carefully for a long time, Lin Bei found more than a dozen soft-shelled turtle eggs in all corners of the mud beach, if they were a few days late, these eggs would also suffer a catastrophe, of course Lin Bei would not let these things live, so he collected these eggs and brought them back directly, ready to let them hatch.
Lin Bei's plan at this time was to prepare to raise a batch of soft-shelled turtles in captivity, so that they could make soup and drink something in the future to satisfy their appetites, but he didn't think that these soft-shelled turtle eggs would surprise Lin Bei in the future.
Lin Bei also went to the bottom of the river to take a look, and now the river finally flowed into a cave, the cave is not big, Lin Bei did not go in, but Lin Bei guessed that there must be another hole in it, and the water of the river may re-enter the ground, and then form a spring in other places, or it will flow smoothly underground.
After watching Xiaohe, Lin Bei rushed back, and as soon as he returned to Longtan, Lin Bei heard a terrible cry, which was very weak, Lin Bei listened carefully for a while, and then his face changed, how did it sound like a jackal's cry? Could it be the female jackal?
Hurriedly glanced at the snake eggs on the wooden house, Qiqi and the wooden house, they were not attacked by any outsiders, Lin Bei put down the soft-shelled turtle eggs first, and then re-entered the forest, and went straight to the hole of the mother jackal.
This time far away, Lin Bei had already smelled the smell of blood in the air, it was very strong, and the cry was getting clearer and clearer, this was indeed the cry of a jackal, but this was a newborn little jackal, because their mother, that is, the female jackal, had died.
The mother jackal does not know what animal it was injured, the body has been torn, the blood has dried up, and the body has stiffened, the six little jackals feel that the mother has died, so they will cry out to mourn, in addition, it is also possible that the mother is hungry, and the mother jackal can no longer provide them with milk.
Lin Bei was a little angry, but he left his breath around the female jackal, which animal would dare to invade his territory and kill the female jackal? But now is not the time to pay attention to this kind of thing, and the six little jackals are waiting to be fed.
The little jackal has already opened its eyes, so it is not feasible for them to recognize Lin Bei as their mother again, but according to Lin Bei's temperament, he still has to feed the little jackal, who makes him especially loving to small things, Lin Bei sighed, it has not been long since he came to this world, Lin Bei has been the father of several animals, and according to his temperament, there will only be more and more animals adopted in the future, because the last thing that is missing in the forest is this kind of small animal that has lost its mother.
Lin Bei came to the tree hole, although the little jackals were only one day, they still felt fear coming, but they were too small to do anything, so they could only snuggle tightly on the female jackals that had become cold corpses, hoping that their mother could give them warmth.
"You're lucky to have met me." Lin Bei sighed, carefully wrapped the six little jackals with leaves, and then gently wrapped the leaves with rattans, and then slowly got them back, the whole process was very careful, for fear of killing these little guys, as for the female jackal, Lin Bei took a look, and finally didn't care, nature naturally has its laws, the female jackal will become the food of other animals, just like the animals it ate before its death, this is its destination.
When the little jackals came back, Lin Bei made a nest for these little guys with fluffy grass, they kept screaming, one was sad, the other was too hungry, so they could only rely on the cry to express their thoughts, Lin Bei had a headache, these little guys have no teeth, now they need milk, but where does Lin Bei find milk? Lin Bei has no milk
Being a daddy is quite hard.
