Chapter 34: The Wolf's Den is Ended
The whole tribe was overjoyed, Yuan was on the side to direct the carrying of the wolf corpses, and after the wolf corpses were moved, the old people moved out the food that had not been eaten before and everyone continued to eat.
Although it took a day to prepare for the enemy, the time to actually start the battle was only two meals.
Everyone finally slept peacefully tonight, but today it was replaced by 5 old people keeping vigil, and even Wu didn't sleep. Usually, two old people take turns to keep vigil, but today the old people are not only happy in their hearts and can't sleep, but there is still a trace of worry in their hearts.
I'm also afraid that tonight is just a dream, and after waking up from the dream tomorrow, the tribe will not get dozens of wolf corpses. There is no endless wolf meat and chestnuts, and I am afraid that after waking up, I will return to the days when I ate the last meal and did not eat the next meal.
So tonight, in addition to guarding the entrance of the cave, the old people just let the other party pinch themselves from time to time, and wait until it really hurts, and then they are satisfied to pinch each other back.
Or from time to time go to the mouth of the small cave where the wolf meat is stored and go around a few times, although the entrance of the cave is sealed and nothing can be seen, but as long as you think about the contents inside, you can make these old people happy all night without sleeping.
And they are not willing to let the young people keep vigil, although they have been letting the old men go to rest before, but how can they let these young people keep vigil?
As a little old man with a sheep's horn thought to himself, 'Those young people, they haven't slept for two days and two nights, and they will wake up tomorrow morning with very important things to do.'
As for us old men, we have slept enough when we are young, and what winter is not sleeping one winter at a time? It's nothing to sleep two days less, not to mention, you can still nap in the tribe during the day tomorrow, right? ’
As soon as the sky was a little bright, the old men began to bury the pot to cook, today is still enough meat and fish, under the teaching of Chen Chao, they already know that wild boar meat should be stewed for a longer time to be delicious, as for how long it will be stewed, it is probably just bright to the birds chirping.
They don't have a grasp of the time, and now there is no clock, so Chen Chao taught them to poke with a small stick, and they can easily poke through the belt meat, which is soft and delicious!
The chestnuts were also peeled during their vigil last night, otherwise the night would be long, and they would have to find something to do, especially now that the danger is gone, and no matter how excited they are, they will still be a little sleepy.
In this way, the wild boar meat is stewed softly, and the chestnuts can be boiled in the mouth, but their spoons have not yet been cooked, and they can only eat the pork at the end, and each person holds a pot and finds a small wooden stick to pick the chestnuts into their mouths.
It's a hassle to eat, but it's delicious!
So only a little old man with a sheep's horn ate the slowest and most methodically, he grabbed the wild boar meat he had just scooped out in one hand, and took a bite, ah, how is this wild boar a little tired!
So he pinched his spoon again, scooped a chestnut and put it in his mouth, well, the chestnuts are delicious, so soft and glutinous, and they are so greasy~~
The hunting team set off after breakfast, and they had an important task today, which was to go to the den of the black wolves!
Leader Yuan thought in his heart, "I don't know where a group of wild wolves suddenly came out, I have never encountered such a large group of wolves when I was hunting in Tianyuan Mountain before!" ’
It is estimated that what was left yesterday was the young strength of the wolf pack, but just in case, it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots as much as possible!
After discussing his thoughts with Chen Chao, the two hit it off and brought 11 stone axes from the tribe, each with two spears, and those without stone axes with three.
The slings are made in the place where they are ready, because they do not know the specific habitat of the wolves, and they may have to walk a long way, so it is not suitable to carry a heavy sling.
The hunting team followed the footprints and traces of the wolves all the way, and Chen Chao drove the golden finger all the way, and walked a full thirty kilometers to touch the nest of the black wolves.
The cave is very secluded, covered by bushes, and it would have been easy to see it if it weren't for some cubs playing near the cave.
Yuan guessed that it was right, only six old wolves were old and patrolling the territory outside.
But Chen Chao felt that this should not be the only residence, you must know that the wolf's burrow is generally a soil hole and a tree hole, and the wolf is a creature that can dig an escape channel, and the stone cave is solid, but there is no escape channel, and it cannot be transformed.
Although the earth cave is not as strong as the stone cave, there are many escape routes, which can be renovated and ventilated, and the tree hole is also like the earth cave.
The hunting team did not alarm the six old wolves who were patrolling, and searched around, and finally found two more soil caves under Chen Chao's deliberate guidance.
There are 3-9 wolf cubs in it who haven't opened their eyes yet, but they don't see the she-wolf, is it out to hunt?
So the people of the hunting team first went back to the first stone cave, served the six old wolves in a pot, and when they entered the stone cave, they found that there was nothing in it, and it seemed that the two earth caves were the most important.
The hunting team divided into two ways and returned to the area around the earthen cave, quietly waiting for the she-wolf who had returned from hunting.
Originally, Chen Chao planned to bring back all the cubs who didn't open their eyes and kill all the ones who opened their eyes, but after thinking about it, forget it, domestication is from generation to generation, and it is difficult to succeed in a short period of time.
And even if it is successfully domesticated for a period of time, if these wolf cubs have rabies or something, and give a bite to the people in the tribe, let alone now, even in the future, the morbidity and mortality of rabies are also very high.
In general, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, maybe the domestication is successful, and some watchdogs can be cultivated to help guard the tribe, but there are too many uncertain factors, and it is not easy to do.
Due to various considerations, Chen Chao still gave up the idea of domesticating wolves.
Having successfully eliminated the wolves' den, the hunting party finally returned to the tribe before the sun went down, and the gathering team returned before them and was disposing of the wolf carcasses by the river.
Not far away, there is an animal skin that has been nitrated, which was dried by Wu and the old people after the hunting party set off today, and it is estimated that it will not dry until tomorrow.
Looking at the wood inventory in the tribe, the hunting team divided some people to cut wood, and the remaining part followed Chen Chao to make stone axes.
While teaching them to make stone axes, Chen Chao was thinking about his next plan in his heart, to build a high wall and accumulate grain!!
But the Tianyuan tribe, his initial location was not very good, although at the beginning it was close to the water source on the left, the jungle on the right, and the big cave behind it.
But he needs a place to build a high wall, preferably similar to a plain, as far as the eye can see, so that it is easy to plan, otherwise like now, there will be a problem that is more difficult to plan, because it is necessary to take into account the expansion of the population in the future, after all, the Tianyuan tribe cannot have fifty people forever, one hundred people forever.
