After breakfast, everyone started their busy day.

As per yesterday's assignment of work, everyone started their own business.

Zhang Xiangyang put the bed away, lifted the pit covered by the bamboo plank, and began to continue the previous digging operation.

This pit goes deep into the bottom of the mountain, mainly to hide from the ape.

If the ape suddenly appears one day, everyone can hide in this small cellar to increase their chances of survival.

An Ran sat on the side doing the work of rubbing hemp rope, and listened to the knocking sound in the pit next to him, and he didn't feel noisy, but had a little leisure.

Everyone has their own business, there is no overseer here, and what you can do does not need to be supervised.

Zhang Xiangyang was knocking on the stones below, collecting the broken stones around him and putting them into the basket.

When it was almost noon, Zhang Han's voice suddenly came, and he felt that Zhang Han and Lu Shiqin were shouting something outside.

When Zhang Xiangyang heard this, he climbed up and said curiously, "What's going on outside?" I seemed to hear Zhang Han's voice. ”

Enron also doesn't know, the sound insulation of this house is very good.

"I don't know, it shouldn't be a bad thing."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiangyang continued to return to the pit to dig stones, and he was not so curious about the outside world.

It didn't take long for Lu Shiqin to run in and said happily to An Ran: "An Ran, Zhang Han hit an owl with a bow and arrow, the size of a little monkey!" Wings and bodies are gray! ”

When Zhang Xiangyang heard that it was an owl, he peeked out of the pit, "Are you dead?" ”

Lu Shiqin still said happily: "No, the wings were hit by bows and arrows, and they have been grabbed and tied up by Zhang Han and Zhang Bin, and the feathers should be able to make a warm glove!" ”

Zhang Xiangyang climbed out of the pit, and walked outside after coming up, "I still don't want it, I always feel that there is something missing here, and don't hurt some animals that are useful to us when there is no food crisis." ”

An Ran was very surprised, she always thought that Zhang Xiangyang was the kind of person who couldn't wait for the animals around him to die, but she didn't expect Zhang Xiangyang to protect animals.

Although I was puzzled, I didn't ask.

An Ran continued to sit on the bed and weave things, although she was not ignored and regarded as a burden by the rest of the people, she was actually withdrawn from the core, and she couldn't help herself.

Outside

After Zhang Xiangyang went out, he saw Zhang Han and Zhang Bin who were surrounding a large bird of prey.

Zhang Han tied a table-high owl to the ground with a rope, and when he saw Zhang Xiangyang coming out, he said with a smile: "Xiangyang, come and see, I hit a big bird!" This bow and arrow has finally come in handy! ”

Zhang Xiangyang walked over, glanced at the owl that was struggling slowly on the ground, and said, "Don't eat it, see if you can help it recover from its injuries, this thing eats mice, it is useful for us." ”

"Can't be saved, can you? And there are many owls this one, and other owls are not unable to catch mice. Zhang Han felt that it was unnecessary, just a bird.

Zhang Xiangyang still insisted on his opinion, "At present, there is no shortage of food, and this little feather can't be of much use, so that you can know if there is movement outside at night, and save a night watchman." ”

This reason is very sufficient, Zhang Han was quickly convinced, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll pull out the arrow, Zhang Bin, you make a bird's nest for it." ”

The owl's wings were pierced by Zhang Han's bow and arrows, and the two of them had been thinking about how to increase the lethality of the bow and arrow, which was originally used to deal with jackals and monkeys and the like, but they didn't expect this owl to become the first victim.

Zhang Xiangyang squatted down and looked at the owl, Zhang Han quickly said: "Be careful, this guy is fierce, he almost bit my hand just now!" It's going to bite all of a sudden! ”

This owl is very large, and its sharp beak has become a very deterrent weapon due to its large body proportions.

"It's okay, don't tie it with a rope yet, Shiqin help me get some meat out, and take out a piece of each meat."

Zhang Xiangyang knows that owls are not easy to mess with, even if it is a rooster, it will become terrible when it reaches a height of one meter.

After Zhang Han let go, the two gradually kept their distance from the owl.

The owl quickly stood up and pecked hard at the hemp rope on his feet.

The sharp hooked mouth quickly pecked at the hemp rope, and then spread its wings and wanted to fly out.

But as soon as he spread his wings, he fell to the ground.

Its left wing was unable to flap properly, and there was a wound where it was hit by a sharp arrow, which caused the owl to temporarily lose its ability to fly and maintain its balance in the air.

The owl, which found that it could not fly, quickly ran to the surrounding grass with its long legs hidden under its feathers, and hid there vigilantly watching the huge two-legged animals.

The three of them looked at the owl, Zhang Bin made a rough visual inspection, and said: "Judging from the flying posture I saw just now, it should be able to grab twenty kilograms of prey and fly in the air for a minute or two." ”

Zhang Han is concerned about another more realistic question, "How much does this thing eat in a day?" ”

"I don't know, I feel like I should eat more than a person." Zhang Bin expressed his opinion, and in order to strengthen his credibility, he added: "A dog of sixty or seventy pounds eats more than twice as much as a person of one hundred and twenty or thirty pounds." ”

This Zhang Xiangyang really didn't know, he always thought that dogs ate less than people, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

"That's the problem, we don't have a shortage of food at the moment, but we are not rich enough to feed this bird a few pounds of meat a day."

At this time, Lu Shiqin came back with wolf meat, jackal meat, fish meat, and bird meat, and the bird meat was the bacon left over from the last time, and everyone had just come to this place for more than ten days, which was not a long time.

Zhang Xiangyang took the piece of meat, slowly approached the owl, and under the vigilant gaze of the owl, put the piece of meat on the ground, and then slowly retreated.

Zhang Han looked at the motionless owl and wondered, "Is this useful?" I remember owls eating live food......"

"Let's take a look and see if we can survive today." Zhang Xiangyang was also not sure, he hoped that the owl was okay.

Zhang Xiangyang has always been very vigilant about the situation nearby.

What made Zhang Xiangyang most vigilant was not the ape monsters, but the tailless mice he saw before.

At a time when most animals were enlarged, there were still some animals that remained in their previous size.

At present, Zhang Xiangyang has only seen two animals with the same size, one is the jackal in the bamboo forest, and the other is the rat.

Whether it is a bamboo rat or a tailless rat, the body size is maintained at the level of the old era.

The adaptability and fecundity of rodents are definitely the best in the rankings, and they must have an advantage that only belongs to them when they maintain that size.

The red jackal seems to prey on bamboo rats, but bamboo rats should not be the staple food of red jackals, and Zhang Xiangyang has never been sure who the natural enemies of those rats are.

The jackals have the courage to attack and go forward, and what Zhang Xiangyang is most worried about is that those rats have also evolved a special combat method in this era when everything is extremely aggressive.

So when he heard that it was an owl, Zhang Xiangyang hoped not to interfere with the owl's way, hoping that the owl could continue to hunt those mice.

Whether you're growing crops or hunting, those rats will be their enemies!

In contrast, owls that don't actively attack large creatures and owls that don't eat crops are very cute animals.

The owl didn't want to eat, and Zhang Xiangyang threw the piece of meat, but it didn't look at it, but just nested quietly in the firewood pile and watched them all the time.

"Leave him alone and keep doing our thing." Zhang Xiangyang whispered, he was not very sure what to do with this owl.

There is not much benefit in killing, and if you save it, you don't know how to save it.

What they lack is not only a doctor who can treat humans, but also a veterinarian who is familiar with animal habits!

At noon, Zhang Bin first found Wu Sang and the three of them who walked back, and Wu Sang brought back three baskets of plants and three bundles of weeds.

When Lingling came up, he saw the owl and shouted in amazement, "What a big owl, how did you catch it?" ”

Zhang Han quickly boasted: "Of course I caught it with a bow and arrow, I was working at the time, and I saw this thing fall on the jujube tree, and then I shot with a handsome and brave bow, and I knocked down this stunned big guy!" ”

Ling Ling said disdainfully: "It's not that I haven't seen hunting, the stupid bird that Sister An Ran caught last time was stupid, but this owl is very big!" ”

Zhang Bin reminded: "Be careful, it is very fierce, and it bites very suddenly." ”

Wu Sang unloaded the things on his body and walked over to look at the pieces of meat on the ground, "You want to raise them?" ”

Zhang Han explained: "Yes, Xiang Yang said that this bird is a good bird, and he plans to let it go after it is cured, and he will show us the door in the next few days, and if there is movement at night, he can know it early, saving people from staying up late." ”

Wu Sang also felt that this proposal was good, so he didn't care about wasting food, anyway, it was good to raise, and it was not too late to kill when the food was not enough.

Everyone was busy with their own business, and because they all knew that the owl was a bird of prey, they didn't dare to get too close to the injured owl.

In the afternoon, the owl still didn't move its position, nor did it move the meat on the ground.

Wu Sang and the others continued to go out to fetch water, and when they came back in the afternoon, they collected some edible plants and berries.

Zhang Bin couldn't spare time, so he asked Zhang Han to build a very simple bird's nest for the owl.

It's more like a dog's kennel than a bird's nest, a straw basket placed on the wall of the house.

Spread some hay on top and press the middle place to sink down, and you're almost done.

Zhang Bin is working on a dripping bamboo tube timer to calculate the time, using the approximate weight and water flow to calculate the specific time of day.

For those who are unable to determine the exact time, this data is very important and may affect all aspects of the arrangement.

After making a bird's nest, Zhang Han walked a few laps at the foot of Changzhu Mountain, looking up at this not very high mountain, thinking about how to strengthen the defense capability and expand the powerful terrain structure.

Lu Shiqin selected the stones collected by Wu Sang and Zhang Bin, and determined the surrounding geology and the amount of minerals by examining the harvest in the past half month.

Zhang Bin has the habit of collecting stones to make props, because in the early stage, everyone was seriously short of resources, and stone knives and stone axes were all made of local materials, so Zhang Bin, who developed the habit of saving, would always collect some suitable stones.

Even when I go out on a regular basis, I put a few stones in my pocket.

Not only Zhang Bin, but when everyone goes out, three or four stones will be loaded in the basket to expel the wild wolves!

Every time she came back, the pile of stones would be more harvested, and Lu Shiqin would record what minerals were collected on which day and where.

After this information is gathered, Lu Shiqin, who is familiar with the geography of mountains and rivers, can deduce the local land history.

Lu Shiqin is grateful to Zhang Xiangyang for letting her play her own value, and in the previous team, no one looked down on her, a geology student with six years of scientific research experience.

In the evening, everyone ate and took a bath, and Wan Jing, who was tired for a day, had no strength to continue teaching, so she fell asleep directly on the bed after taking a bath.

Wan Jing was very tired today, blisters appeared on her feet, and it hurt badly when she took a few steps.

She has always been cooking in the mountains, and like Lingling, she lacks experience.

Lingling was also tired, so she ate a lot today, and soon fell asleep with the hay doll she made.

Zhang Xiangyang is also very tired today, he knocked stones in the pit for a day, his arm is sore, and he is more tired than going out to hunt.

Fortunately, this kind of thing is not the first day, and I will gradually get used to it.

Tired is very tired, and I can't get used to it, the only thing that can feel better is that I can endure it and not affect my normal activities.

The last one came out of the shower, and Zhang Xiangyang wiped his body with animal skins and quickly got dressed.

"If you don't learn a foreign language today, you'll be idle if you're idle, so let's move your body."

Zhang Xiangyang stood in the cold wind, swinging his body at will, thinking about how to deal with the beast after encountering it.

Some things are destined to happen, Zhang Xiangyang knows very well that he and those jackals will not coexist peacefully, and sooner or later they will have to fight.

This is a battle to the death, and only those who survive will not be eaten!

When Zhang Xiangyang was indiscriminately outputting in the clearing, the owl's eyes in the distance emitted the same rays of light, its eyes could reflect the light, and it also had a strong ability to capture and detect, especially at night!

At night, it's the home of owls!

However, owls are not interested in their larger prey.

A white light slowly approached this side, and the owl turned its head to the night sky on that side.

It was a beautiful white owl, and its body flew as if it were still in the air, making no sound.

Its trajectory was very beautiful, and its spread wings allowed it to land gracefully in front of the gray owl, without making the slightest sound that would alarm humans in the distance.

Compared to this huge size, this delicate and elegant movement is extraordinarily quiet.

The two owls are about the same size, the white one is more ornate and beautiful, and the gray one is very inconspicuous.
