Chapter Eighty-Five: The Bird That Broke Its Shell

Returning to the tribe and completing the knife washing ceremony, the hunting party went down the mountain. Shao Xuan's prey was not much, so he directly took the prey down the mountain by himself.

This time, Wu didn't immediately leave Shao Xuan to talk, because all his attention was on the green thieves brought back by the advance team, and he didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, but after the knife washing ceremony was over, Wu told Shao Xuan that he would look for him in a few days, and then Wu would find someone to talk to.

The number of fierce beasts brought back by the advance team this hunt was not as large as before, and the quality of the fierce beasts was not as good as before, but this time they had the greatest credit. It is impossible to say the matter of the green thief directly, only a very few people in the tribe know, and the people who know it are also people who have a lot of status or great contributions in the tribe. Most of the ordinary people did not know about it, and the only thing they knew was that the advance team made a great contribution this time.

Most of the ordinary people of the tribe don't bother about what the advance team has contributed, they are more concerned about what the people in their families who participate in the hunt are harvesting, as for other people's affairs, it is just their verbal topic, even if many people are curious about the appearance of the advance team, but after returning to the tribe, they forget about it and are busy dealing with the prey.

Shao Xuan dragged the prey home, and after putting the things down, he ran to Lao Ke's side, bringing some fresh meat and a few bird eggs by the way. When he went down the mountain, Shao Xuan also gave Mai and Langga a few bird eggs, anyway, he ate a lot of bird eggs on the side of the green space, and brought it back to let everyone eat it, to see if the bird eggs in the green space are different from those in other places, and whether they can be used as medicine eggs.

In the old kewu, Shao Xuan briefly talked about the harvest this time, of course, there are some things that need to be kept secret that can't be said, he just focused on the kind of white hair that set up.

"The kind of white hair is very suitable for setting up a set after forming a line, but unfortunately it can't be stored for a long time, I originally wanted to bring some back to show you, but I encountered a little trouble halfway, the set ran out, and the broken thread began to deteriorate after a few days, and there was no elasticity, and it broke when we pulled it, and when we came back, it had degraded. ”

Although some of the words Shao Xuan said when he explained felt very unfamiliar, he could also guess the meaning of these words and understand what Shao Xuan said.

"It's a pity. Lao Ke said. Materials are hard to find, which is one of the main reasons why the skill is gradually being lost.

"If only we could find a way to bring them back intact in the future. Shao Xuan said.

Lao Ke shook his head, "Don't force it." ”

For Lao Ke, his greatest wish is to pass on the skills he has mastered to the right people, and now, he has found Shao Xuan, and he has no regrets. Moreover, Shao Xuan was able to follow the advance team and come back safely, which is luck and strength.

"What are these eggs?" asked Lao Ke, looking at the eggs that Shao Xuan threw into the pot.

"I brought it back from there, and the people in the advance team often eat it, so I brought some back. ”

Hearing Shao Xuan's words, Lao Ke didn't ask any more. Since Shao Xuan said that the advance team often eats, it should be a good thing.

Shao Xuan left three bird eggs, and gave all the rest to Lao Ke, and in the afternoon he had dinner at Lao Ke's side, and Shao Xuan took Caesar home.

While the sun hadn't set yet, Shao Xuan planned to dispose of the beast meat he brought back.

Set up a stone pot in the house, light a fire, Shao Xuan put the remaining three bird eggs into the stone pot, planned to cut them after cooking, and take them to the cave.

After the eggs were thrown into the stone pot filled with water, Shao Xuan didn't care, and handled the animal meat outside the house, otherwise those night swallows would come out to stir up trouble again when it got dark.

Caesar was lying at the door of the wooden house and gnawing on a piece of bone, when suddenly his ears moved, he turned his head to look at the stone pot in the house, listened carefully, got up and ran to the stone pot, and looked into the pot.

There are three bird eggs in the pot, all of which are as big as Shao Xuan's fist, these three are not the largest eggs brought back by Shao Xuan, nor are they the smallest, and they don't have so many patterns, but the colors of the eggs are different.

Shao Xuan took the chopped meat in and put it in the stone jar to marinate, and when he turned his head, he saw Caesar staring at the stone pot.

"What are you looking at?" Shao Xuan walked over and glanced into the stone cauldron.

At a glance, I saw a crack in one of the eggs, and the egg was still shaking.

it!

Shao Xuan directly put his hand into the stone pot, fished out the broken bird's egg, and looked at it in his hand.

The eggshell was just cracking just now, but Shao Xuan fished it in time and didn't enter the water. The cracks in the eggs grew larger and wider, and there was a chirping sound from inside.

It is clear that the bird in this egg is coming out.

Looking back at the stone pot, Shao Xuan used his other empty hand to fish out the other two eggs in the stone pot.

Fortunately, the stone pot has just been set up, and the water temperature has not yet risen, otherwise if it is boiled for a while, the bird that is just about to break the shell will be cooked directly.

None of the eggs brought back had such a problem, and none of the eggs had been molded after eating so many eggs. At that time, when he took out the birds' eggs, Shao Xuan just took the kind of eggs that looked like they had just been stolen, and there would usually be no formed birds in them. It's a snorting experience. It's not that the sympathy is overflowing, but the green space is not good for ignition, and if there are formed birds in the eggs, he doesn't like to eat them raw, and it is inconvenient to cook eggs, that's all.

Eggs that have just been stolen are generally clean, while eggs that have been left for a long time have some stains or other marks on the eggs. The birds that steal the eggs don't pay much attention to hygiene, and the nests are not elaborate and rudimentary, and the droppings from the upper nests can fall into the nests below. So when Shao Xuan picked the cleaner ones when he picked them out, he didn't shake them one by one to listen to the sounds.

Besides, whether the eggs are formed or not, in fact, there is no need to care too much about it in that case, just like Swallow said, if you don't want to eat it, you can throw it away. And before that, Shao Xuan hadn't encountered a single egg with a formed chick in it. Unexpectedly, now there is one.

Shao Xuan's hands that had just been skinned were still bloody, the cracks on the eggs in his palms were getting bigger and bigger, and the chirping sound coming from inside was clearer. Shao Xuan's movement of the egg can be clearly felt through the palm of his hand, looking at the egg, thinking, if this little bird can survive, it will be raised as a chicken, but I don't know if it can lay eggs like a chicken, it doesn't matter if it can't be born, it will be slaughtered and eaten at the end of the year.

The broken eggshell was pushed out, and the chicks inside gradually revealed their shapes.

It's not the appearance of a chick cub that Shao Xuan has ever seen, this little bird is wet and has no hair, and its eyes haven't opened.

Chicks are divided into early and late adults. Early adult birds can open their eyes as soon as they come out of the shell, like chicks, fluffy, able to stand and walk, can move on their own, and can also feed independently. The late adult bird can't open its eyes after coming out of the shell, and there is not much hair on its body, so it has to stay in the nest honestly and rely on its parents to feed.

And the one in Shao Xuan's hand obviously belongs to a late-blooming bird.

Shao Xuan observed the beak of the little chick in his hand, and it looked like it was eating meat.

Probably because the smell of blood on Shao Xuan's hand stimulated the fledgling, the little bird had a big beak and pecked Shao Xuan's hand, probably thinking it was food, but found that it couldn't swallow it.

Shao Xuan looked around, took out an old animal skin and put it on the stone table, put the little chick in his hand on it, and then dragged out a piece of animal meat that had not yet been pickled, cut off a small piece, and tore it into smaller pieces, and put it into the open bird's mouth with two thin wooden strips.

The cut beast meat is the weakest among the prey that Shao Xuan hunted, but it will not be weak, Shao Xuan doesn't know if this bird can withstand the energy in the beast meat.

Without thinking about it, the little chick swallowed it directly, and then continued to grow its beak, and kept chirping.

Nothing seems to be a problem.

Shao Xuan continued to feed it a few more times before it closed its mouth. Eat and sleep when you're full.

Looking at the little chicks nesting on the animal skins and quieting down, Shao Xuan shook the two bird eggs he fished out before to listen to the sound, and then threw them into the stone pot to continue cooking.

As for the little chick that had just broken its shell, Shao Xuan shook his head, it was almost cooked, but fortunately it came out of its shell before it was cooked.
