21

On the day of departure, it was cloudless, and it was estimated that there would be no rain in the near future, so Li Yue, like other warriors, only wore leaves around his waist and did not wear pants made of animal skins.

This autumn tiger is simply powerful, Li Yue sighed that it was too hot, although the air was clear, but this sun-roasted person was like a fire.

Li Yue: They walked towards the north.

Chiba took the lead, and he advised them to go straight in the northern direction. Li Yue wanted cows, horses, and the kind of long-haired sheep. So it was changed from west to east.

The reason why Chiba did this was mainly because his selfishness was that he didn't want to run into people in the west, for fear of attracting chase and killing again, and second, the cattle, sheep and horses in the west were not as good as those in the north, and third, he also wanted to see if he could meet the people from the northern tribes and see the situation over there.

"Chiba, how long are we going to walk like this before we meet the cattle, sheep and horses you said?" The more the warrior asked. They've been walking for most of the day, but the scenery around them is the same, and it's really boring.

"It's still early, at least 2 days later."

"Ah...... It's so boring, why didn't the wind follow this time? ”

"He'll have to catch the boar," replied the tanuki.

"Haha! Sacrificial lord, you said that the pigs raised by the tribe are really better than those wild boars? Da Niu took the opportunity to ask Li Yue. He had been listening to his son for a long time, saying that the pig was the most delicious to make braised pork. It made him very greedy.

"I'm not sure if it's good or not, but there should be no fishy smell, and there will be more fat than before."

Thinking of the only animals in the tribe, they have been ordered by Li Yue to remove their big fangs, and they look much harmless and pleasing to the eye. Each of them is carefully cared for by the clansmen every day, and the whole thing is round and the fur is black and oily. According to this situation, it is estimated that it will grow to about 400 catties in winter. At that time, it should be no problem for the tribesmen to eat a New Year's pig soup.

"That's a good feeling, sacrifice to the lord, the braised pork you said is really delicious?" If you can, I'll give you a wild boar and make him a meal.

"It's delicious! But this thing must at least have soy sauce and sugar" Not to mention the braised pork, Li Yue has fallen into the memories of the braised pork and can't extricate himself.

"Sugar!? Make meat out of sugar! Huan on the side heard a strange scream inside.

The other clansmen also heard it, and their faces were shocked. The sacrificial lord actually said that he used such precious sugar to make fishy meat, sacrificial adult, are you a violent creature or showing off your wealth?

Jiang Zi also looked incredulous, it is extremely difficult to obtain sweets in this era, which are more precious than salt, just because he can raise bees to obtain honey, and let the clansmen go out in exchange for more salt and materials, so he can become the leader. It can be seen that sugar, sweets are hard to come by.

Not to mention what Li Yue said about cooking with sugar, even if their tribe wants to eat honey, they just wipe the sticky leftovers on the edges to taste, which is only enjoyed by the clansmen with relatively high contributions.

Chiba was also shocked, although he was the son of the leader had the opportunity to eat sugar and honey, but that was also rewarded by the leader in a good mood, although a little bit was also rare, even his father was not so proud to use sugar to cook.

Is this sacrifice the people who live in this land? It's so bold about the use of sugar. Chiba and Ginger thought.

"Oh, by the way, we haven't gotten the sugar yet," Li Yue realized that there was something wrong with what she said. After all, sugar is relatively rare in primitive societies.

"The priest said...... Do you have a way to make sugar? Chiba said tentatively.

"Yes, there are many ways to get sugar"

"How varied? Tell me about it! The more and more tanuki happily jumped to Li Yue's side, and the dog's legs gave Li Yue shade.

"One of the easiest ways to do this is to find a plant that looks like bamboo, and the stem of that thing is sweet, and we can juice it out to make sugar."

"Oooh!"

"There is also a plant that is similar to the vegetable, the color may be red, and the following is also a red fruit, both of which have the highest sugar content and are the easiest to obtain, and can be planted in a large area!"

"Oooh!" The more starry eyes there are, the more people listen carefully. I can't wait to find those two plants right away.

"Of course, there are others, but they are a little more complicated, the plants that grow the same as our wheat, the kind of seeds are white and transparent, and they can also grow in water and dry soil, and they are steamed and fermented with our malt to produce juice, and after boiling the juice, it is maltose."

"Oooh!"

"There is also sweet potato sugar, which is just as complicated, I won't talk about it, in fact, many of them can be made into sugar."

"Oh! So it's so easy to get sugar? "Everyone thinks it's so mysterious.

Jiang Zi secretly thought to himself that this way of obtaining it was indeed much simpler than raising bees, no wonder the priest didn't say anything about his ability to raise honey.

"Yes, so if you want to eat sugar, just find what I said, you can eat as much as you want, and the corn stalks we grow are also very sweet" Li Yue doesn't like sweets very much, but the scarcity of this thing in primitive society is high, almost comparable to salt.

"What?" They participated in the corn harvest yesterday, and the priest didn't say it was sweet! Will there be anything left when they get back?

"Lord Sacrifice, why didn't you say it earlier! Those corn stalks are all for the pigs! I said how they eat so happily," the tanuki looked pity.

The tanuki is a sweet eater, because he runs fast, how many times he has been stung in order to steal honey, and he is desperate to eat this sweetness.

"There's no pity, next year's corn field will go to the wheat field to be wider and bigger, and you can eat it if you want to eat it then."

"Ouch......" The tanuki was not comforted.

…… It seems that this sweet tooth is quite tempting! Later you can do sugar temptation to tempt them.

"Well, when you go out, you will see that the leaves of the plant are hairy oval, and when you pull them up, they are round and round and bring them to me, and the leaves are almost triangular, and they grow on vines, and the fruit below is also brought to me, and if I am sealed with potatoes and sweet potatoes, I will reward him with sugar!"

"Really?" The tanuki regained its spirits, and the clansmen on one side were also eager to try.

"Of course, I mean what I say"

Jiang Zi looked at Li Yue thoughtfully, he hadn't forgotten that Li Yue had said before that he had to find those to have sugar, and if he didn't find sugar, he would have found potatoes and sweet potatoes? Where does the sugar come from? Won't it ......

Li Yue seemed to have telepathy with Jiang Zi, and the eyes of the two met each other.

Li Yue: Yes, that's what you think.

Ginger: ...... It doesn't matter what it means to honey?

As Li Yue walked, he gave the tribesmen a variety of edible plants and explained the tools that would be put on the cows and horses.

"Lord Priest, if you go forward now, you should encounter cows and horses" Chiba saw cow-like excrement on the ground. It seems that there are cattle and sheep moving in this area, and there may not be a need to walk for another 2 days.

"Okay, what are we going to do now?"

"Now disperse" a large group of people is easy to scatter the flock, and it is easy to arouse the anger of the cattle.

"Lord Sacrifice, you and I together" Da Niu was arranged by Shi Li to protect Li Yue. He must ensure Li Yue's safety at all times.

"Good" Li Yue and Da Niu are in a group.

Tanuki and ginger, Chiba and more. Huan paired up with the rest of the clansmen.

There were 26 of them this time, and they only planned to try the water first, and the cows and horses did their best, and the sheep were easier to control, so they tried to get a herd back.

They all dispersed and marched separately.

After walking for a while, news came from the right that a herd of cattle was found drinking.

Li Yue and Da Niu ran over there together. From a distance, he saw a herd of cattle surrounding the lake, and then Li Yue admired Jiang Zi's painting ability, which was simply realistic! Forgive him for talking about other people's paintings at the time.

At the same time, Li Yue also expressed his idea of using cattle to farm: bold!

Are these still cows? No wonder the big tribes in the west don't have this idea! It didn't work out if I did!

Li Yue held his forehead, these cows are indeed similar to those painted by Jiang Zi, but seeing it with his own eyes, Li Yue just wants to complain that this is clearly a stronger lion with horns! Can this be called a cow? What did that sacrifice think in the earlier period? Is it just because people eat grass?

Looking at the iron tools made for cattle and horses on the back of the big bull, can his plan still work?

"You lead the cattle to your place" Two pairs of people gathered in the distance, and they asked the pair on Li Yue's side to lead away most of the cattle, and when the time came, they took the opportunity to catch two in the rear.

"Howler!" The warrior here is also big-hearted, and immediately pulled up a small tree and swept it into the herd, which immediately caused the herd to lose its temper! A mighty ox rushed at him, and the ox behind followed him.

"Come on! Come on! "The warriors are still afraid of death, and they continue to provoke the herd.

The more Li Yue looked at it, the more frightened he became, first of all, the expressions of those cows were as fierce as if they were about to turn into carnivores, not to mention that they were as strong as a hill, and they were afraid that they could crush people to death if they fell. A herd of cattle followed him, and the ground shook with running.

"I ......," Li Yue wanted to say loudly.

"Don't worry about them, Lord Priest! These cows are just a piece of cake" In the eyes of the big cows, these things are not as powerful as the beasts they encountered, and their warriors can kill the beasts every day, let alone these cows.

Da Niu stood aside very calmly with his chest crossed.

Get...... Then let's see for myself.

Most of the cattle were led away, and there were still about 10 cows drinking by the lake, and one of the 4 warriors in the back rushed out, and led a few more cows away in the same way, and now the remaining 4 cows, they don't drink water, and they stare at the warriors angrily, and they are very angry that you have made them drink water! The hooves under his feet are constantly rubbing against the ground, and this posture is completely characteristic of bullfighting.

The warrior on the opposite side did not panic, took out the club-like weapon in his hand, and faced the ox that was about to rush towards him.

When the two parties met, the warrior hit it with a stick in his hand, looking at the posture to stun the cow, but the cow was fine, and he turned his head to hit the warrior. Let the Warrior dodge sideways. Start a tug-of-war between you top and I hide.

The other warrior also failed to stun the ox, and let the ox push the stick into the air, and in a hurry, the warrior jumped on the back of the herd, and grasped the horns with both hands, and the ox under him immediately bounced and made a gesture to turn the warrior down.

But in order not to be turned upside down, the warrior clenched his hands and tightened his legs, and one man and one ox were in a stalemate.

There is also a warrior who is more mildew, he has two oxen, he can't beat any of them, he can only use the stick in his hand to block the horns slightly, and the other one needs to keep jumping up and down. But it's almost unbearable!

Fortunately, the warrior who led away a cow at this time came back with the other 4 warriors, and they immediately took out the bull ring made by Li Yue and a large number of ropes and nets, and the five people unfolded the nets and looked over there.

"Get out of the way!" In the midst of shouting, the other 3 people immediately separated from the cow, and the big net followed. Trapping the 4 angry cows in it, the 4 cows inside immediately struggled to break free from the net.

The other oxen struggled together, and the net was straightened, and when they saw that the net was about to be torn apart, the warriors threw together a large net. Trap the cow again. The horns of the cow that were caught in the net were stretched under the hooves, and when the two were forced, the weak cow was pulled to the ground, and the powerful cow also fell to the ground due to inertia, and the other two cows that were also struggling fell together.

The cow tried to struggle but was restrained by the net and could not get up.

The other warriors took advantage of this time to pass the iron ring through the nose of the ox, and the ox that was enraged again could not move. The warrior carefully pulled out the cattle on the periphery, and tied them with their limbs and hooves. The other three did the same.

Li Yue looked at the cow lying on the ground and hummed with a complicated expression. It's so wild, how do they have to bring it back?

"Sacrifice to your lord! What do we do next? The warrior wiped the sweat from his head and tightened the rope to which the ox was bound in his hands.

…… Can Li Yue say that he doesn't know either? Looking at the eyes of the clansmen, of course Li Yue couldn't say that.

"Bring the cow shackles to them, and we may need to pull them in front when the time comes" I hope they can go.

"Good!"

"Lord Priest, when I came over just now, I saw the tanuki running back and saying that I saw a horse!"

"Okay, let's leave two people here to watch the cow first, and we'll go over there first!" Li Yue was happy that he could catch cows and horses in one day.

The group was taken by the warrior to the place where the tanuki appeared, and there was nothing.

"They may have gone after the horses," the warrior guessed.

"Well, you saw the tanuki running back from that place? Let's go over there."

"That's right! Tanuki is from ......"

Li Yue followed the warrior to chase the tanuki again, this time chasing them for a long time before seeing their warrior, but there was no trace of the horse. The 5 clansmen sat and sat on their stomachs, and everyone seemed to have gone to half a life.

"Hey, the more, what about the tanuki?"

"Go chasing the horse" Yue sat on the ground at this time and only panted, his face turned red, as if he had just run a marathon of 10,000 miles.

"And what are you?" The more curious the warrior looked.

"Don't mention it, run! The lungs are about to run out," Huan replied with a sigh of relief.

Li Yue saw that they were chasing horses like this, and he estimated in his heart that this horse might not be good at stubble.

"Hey, the tanuki is back," the bull saw a warrior running towards them in the distance. It's the tanuki, but it's a pity that he's alone, and there's nothing around!

"Where's the horse?"

"It's too fast, these horses are running too fast, and none of them are netting," the tanuki gasped.

"Lord Sacrifice, these horses are really fast, the tanuki is the fastest in our tribe, and they can't catch up with this horse" The warrior felt that it was a little difficult for the sacrifice to get a horse.

"How many horses did you have when you came?" Since you can't catch up, you can only wait for the horse.

"A lot" of Huan didn't count, anyway, it was a bunch of black pressure.

"I'm afraid that the horses won't come back today" Chiba relieved himself, according to his men, frightened horses generally don't go back that day.

"It's okay, we'll come back tomorrow, and then the strategy will be changed, and now we'll go to Jiang Zi and them," Li Yue said to the clansmen.

"Ginger, they're in another place, but I'm not sure where they are now" When Chiba saw the horse, he saw a flock of sheep not far away, and guessed that the others should go after him.

"Okay, let's go"

This time, they didn't walk for a while before they saw a flock of sheep, and Jiang Zi and the rest of the clan were already able to control the sheep to go in the direction of Li Yue. Much more successful than they are.

"Jiang Zi, you actually caught so many sheep?" The more he faced, he was a little uneasy.

"It's amazing," Da Niu also admired.

Chiba also looked at Jiang Zi with an unfathomable look.

As long as Li Yue is confused, is it difficult to catch sheep? He squeezed out of the crowd and saw a flock of "sheep" watching them obediently.

Then I remembered that I hadn't asked them to draw pictures of sheep before.

It's just that this sheep is too different, as big as a wild boar, with the smooth white hair of an Afghan hound, a pair of antlers on its head, and the key is its four hooves, which are particularly large! It's like a pair of thin legs wearing horseshoe shoes, which is a sheep? It's all about fun! Even a 3-year-old wouldn't make it so ugly.

Li Yue expressed his willingness to bow to the appearance and style of this primitive creature. But the wool on this sheep really made him feel excited.

"Ginger! How did you manage to get these sheep to listen to you? ”

"It just happened that I had a fight with one of the biggest sheep, and then they followed me," Jiang Zi was also confused.

"You should have defeated their leader" Although the appearance is very different, the racial habits still seem to be similar.

Chiba also agrees with Li Yue's statement.

"Now do you wait for the horses to catch them together and go back to the tribe or let the sheep and cattle go back first?" Da Niu asked.

"Get the cow and sheep back first" Thinking about it, Li Yue still asked them to go back first, mainly because the horse didn't know how to lasso for a while.

"Jiangzi, are the cowsheds and sheepfolds all right?"

"Sacrifice to the lord, it's done, but I'm afraid it's a little empty to live in these things," Jiang Zi said with a wicked smile.

"Hehe, then wait until you get these sheep back and catch them again! I'm waiting for you here" Hehe, what are you afraid of, it's you who catch sheep anyway."

Jiang Zi: There is no such thing as you!

Li Yue and Da Niu, Chiba and Huan and the other 5 clansmen stayed behind to catch the horses, and the others returned to the tribe.

For this horse to run too fast, Li Yue can only set a trap.

Then they quickly moved forward to check the horse's tracks. After walking for about 3 hours, I saw horses walking in the green area from a distance. It looks like this is where they roost at night.

Li Yue took a look at the surrounding environment, to set a trap, you must force the horse to one place, if the person is too obvious, the horse will also break through the encirclement and escape, so the place where the trap is set is best to hide people, but it can also provide an environment for setting traps.

The best place to set a trap is in front of them, in a place behind the horses where there are a few trees, which are about the thickness of their thighs, and if they tie a rope to them, and then they are pushed that way, and when the hooves stumble, they will go up and pick up a few fallen horses. I just don't know if the rope will be broken by the horse.

Li Yue turned around and explained the plan to the clansmen to see if it was feasible and asked them if there was a better way.

"That's it" Chiba couldn't outrun the horse even if they chased so hard before, except for this method, I really don't know how to catch it alive.

"Okay, which of you often ambushes your prey?"

"Me!" A clansman said.

"Okay, take out the rope from our bodies, lengthen and tighten it, and tie it up later"

Day 2...... Li Yue and Da Niu observed from the rear, and Chiba and the other three clansmen moved towards the horses in an outflanking pattern.

I saw that as soon as the four of Chiba approached the herd, they were noticed, and the horses immediately stopped grazing and began to rush forward, running smoothly towards the trees.

Bulging - Expanding - Driving ~ Collision, falling, horse barking.

I saw that the horse in front of me was tripped and fell to the ground, and the horse behind did not brake directly and fell to the ground in time, and the horse behind either did not react and was knocked over by the horse behind, or stepped on the horse in front of him, and then the horse behind reacted and ran directly around the road, and at the same time the other 3 people took the opportunity to go up, to press the horse and tie the ticket, or cover the horse with a net, and wait for the four of Chiba to step forward to make the horse together.

Like cattle, the system is controlled, but I don't know how to let them obediently return to the tribe.

Li Yue created a horse chew for horses, which was used by riders to control horses in ancient times, as long as the rider pulled the reins, the horse chew was pulled into the horse's mouth, so as to control the horse's speed of action and let the horse stop.

"Lord Sacrifice, now we don't have enough horse chews, and there are still so many horses that are not covered" Several clansmen have already brought horse chews for 6 horses.

"Well...... what to do? Li Yue watched the other 10 or so horses lying on the ground intact and struggling. It's a shame to let such a healthy and strong horse go.

If the hard ones can't come, then what about the soft ones?

"Chiba, do you know what these horses like to eat?" Use the method of seduction to see if you can make this group of horses have some peace.

"They like to eat alfalfa grass"

"Alfalfa grass?" By the way, this thing is equivalent to plant feed, which is a nutrient for various herbivores such as cattle and horses!

"Chiba, you go to the neighborhood to find alfalfa grass, and we use this grass to lure the horses behind to follow back to the tribe!"

"Great idea!" Chiba's eyes lit up, this thing can be done.

The horses on the front are covered with a horse chew, and the alfalfa grass on their backs attracts the horses that are not chewed in the middle, and the horses on the left and right are all carrying horse chews, and the tribesmen are on the horseback with one person pulling the reins to control them, and the other is hanging on the grass to induce them.

The clansmen who got on horseback for the first time were excited and nervous, but fortunately, these horses were easy to control because they had food to eat, and they were easy to be thrown out except for people who could not sit steadily along the way. The whole thing went very well, and they were back in the tribe soon after riding their horses.

This time, they shortened the expected time and successfully caught the prey.

The tribesmen felt that they should take advantage of the victory in the near future. Taking advantage of the fact that there is enough forage now, they can raise more of it, so that they can use it next year after domestication.

The main thing is that you can have a good time!
