Chapter Ninety-Eight: No Stopping

After a while, some of the animals, as if interested in the light and the heat coming out of the kiln, slowly approached, sniffed with their noses, soaked their urine, and shaved their hooves on the log door.

Everyone thought that the animals at the door were going to leave after doing these actions, but they seemed to be endless, and they had no intention of leaving.

Judging from these movements, my father estimated that it should be some kind of animal that eats grass, such as sheep and something. At this time, the third son woke up early.

I saw him standing on tiptoe and about to go to the door, but he was stopped by his eldest son.

The eldest son then picked up a cow rope and rattan rope, and also followed the example of the third son, stood on tiptoe and walked to the door, aimed at the widest gap in the middle of the log, and after seeing the general appearance of the animals outside, slowly tied one end of the cow cable rattan rope into a knot, and then tied the knot on a wooden stick thick with a hand stick, and then put the wooden stick horizontally on the log door, and beat the other end of the cow cable rattan into a live rope sleeve, along the ground, slowly stretching out from the gap in the log.

The edge of the rope was trampled by animals outside the door a few times, but the foot did not step into the knot.

After playing around for a while, I felt the animal's leg just step into the noose.

I saw the third son grasp the wooden stick on the wooden door with both hands, and quickly pulled the rope in, and the animal at the door was startled, and did not know that its leg was caught by something, so it kicked its leg desperately.

It was impossible to pull it out, because there was a wooden stick on top of it.

Seeing this, everyone came to help, and then someone put a rope around the animal's neck, and after pulling for a long time, the animal outside the door finally stopped moving.

When everyone got rid of a log and came to the outside of the kiln, by the bright moonlight in the sky and the light of the torches in their hands, everyone saw a rock sheep lying at the door of the kiln.

It was supposed to be time to sleep and stand guard, but at this time everyone was busy hunting, which was really interesting.

After each of them lifted one leg and struggled to pull the rock sheep into the kiln, which was no longer breathing, they hurriedly reassembled the logs, and tonight they did not want to be disturbed by any other animal, and just concentrate on eating mutton.

At this time, it was impossible to sleep again, so everyone simply canceled the turn to rest, and got up directly, a few people stood guard, and a few people packed up the roast mutton to eat.

The oil that bubbled out of the mutton fell into the fire, and from time to time there were balls of fire, causing everyone to swallow their saliva.

The father did not dare to be careless at this time, and still told everyone from time to time to be vigilant and be careful of danger, and the second son and the second son also consciously took on the task of vigilance, no longer sitting next to the fire, but standing with a steel drill, patrolling the cave.

Everyone also knows that eating is eating, and safety comes first when you come out, and it may be dangerous at any time.

The barbecue will be good for a while, everyone began to take turns to eat meat, of course, the dog and the little wolf are also very happy, full of saliva to eat the fragrant mutton handed over by the owner, everyone does not fight or grab, the owner will eat, do not give on the side to watch, just like watching the neighbors eat candy children, provoke people to pity.

While everyone was watching the cute dog and the wolf eat, some dirt suddenly fell from the breathy and smoking area on the roof of the cave, and a few pieces of meat that were roasting were stained. It was still the father who reacted quickly and shouted "Copy the guy!" After saying that, he stretched out the killing knife next to him, jumped up, and stared at the roof of the cave.

The others picked up steel drills and killing knives and scattered in all directions, and the dogs and wolves also stood up with a "whirl", some looking out vigilantly, and some staring at the dust above their heads.

The father felt that he had to make a noise at this time, otherwise it would be difficult for the animal above to come down, so he gave a signal to the dog and the little wolf.

The dogs and wolves barked loudly, and then they heard some animal overhead running away in panic, and the force of their legs shook the ash on the roof of the kiln and fell, causing everyone to cry out again.

Judging from the strength of the kicking legs and the cry of the dog wolf, the animal on the top of the head just now should not be a small thing, even much larger than this rock sheep, it should not be a grass-eating animal, but a meat-eating animal, if it was not scared away just now, if it fell - everyone didn't dare to think about it anymore, it seems that yesterday everyone had to choose this ancient kiln to occupy the nest of other animals.

When I was cleaning up the kiln in the afternoon, I found some animal droppings and hair, but no one cared about it because I was in a hurry to work, and there was no fire in the cave at that time, and there was no light, so I couldn't see what animals left behind.

Now that I think about it, it is estimated that from time to time there are grazing animals who come in to spend the night to avoid the cold wind and other animals, and the meat-eating animals also found out about this situation, so they followed and ate ready-made, but I didn't expect that these people and dogs took up the place tonight, and ruined the good thing of the carnivorous animals.

Everyone thought that the animal that ran away at this time must have been angry.

But it's the middle of the night, and even if you want to change places, you can't do it, so you can only hold on until after dawn tomorrow.

Everyone thought that tonight would be over like this, but just when everyone was relaxing a little, a sleeping dog suddenly jumped up and looked at the place where he had just slept in surprise, which startled everyone.

The eldest son and the second son hurriedly took a burning stick and walked over to see what was going on.

When they came to the front, they laughed happily, it turned out that it was a turtle that had come out of the ground, and by this time it had already drilled out half of its body, its neck stretched out to the old elder, and a pair of round eyes looked around, as if to ask who was where it was, and as if to ask what season it was, and the other half of the turtle's body was still hidden in the ground.

Hearing that it was a turtle, Manmei became curious for a moment and walked over to see it.

But the eldest son said, I'll bring it to you, and you won't come over, so you can grab the turtle with one hand and leave.

It turned out that the dog was sleeping there just now, on the one hand, it was the turtle that pressed the ground, and on the other hand, it may be because the warmth of the dog's body spread to the ground, and the turtle slowly woke up.

Generally speaking, turtles live in the water when the weather is hot, and some still have stone holes in the water, but in the autumn or when the weather is cold, they climb to the shore to lay eggs, and some stay for the winter if they can find a suitable hole in the mountain, and sometimes the turtle can leave the water and climb to a high mountain to lay eggs for the winter.

And the one I just discovered may be one of them, I feel that this hole is relatively warm for the winter, and I don't leave after laying eggs.

Thinking of this, my father suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Look at that hole again, maybe you can find the turtle eggs."

As soon as the words were spoken, one of the sons picked up a hoe and gently gouged it, while the other two took steel drills and watched vigilantly at the outside of the cave and the ceiling of the cave to prevent sudden danger.

In less than two clicks, a bunch of turtle eggs were dug up, and they rolled on the ground one by one, and the lively dogs next to them picked up one and ate it, and so did the little wolf.

In less than a few moments, several turtle eggs were eaten by the dogs and wolves one by one.
