Chapter 61: A Family Deer
If Song Xuan remembers correctly, this should be the legendary swollen horned deer, there are still two in the tribe, but those two are females, and Song Xuan has always wanted to catch a male to breed for them.
Before he got cattle, they were the animal power that Song Xuan was more satisfied with, although they were not as big as cattle and horses, but they also looked similar to the mules and the like in later generations.
Adult swollen horned deer also have hundreds of pounds, and it is not even a problem to use them to pull goods, but the load may be a little smaller, and they are relatively gentle, the two in the tribe are already very close, even if they go into the circle and touch them a few times, at most they will snort a few times, and rub their heads sideways a little hard.
If you hold the grass they like to eat in your hand, you will be able to touch it, so Song Xuan has been slowly training them with Shi Yan, and now they can put something on their backs, but the premise is that there must be the temptation to eat, as the so-called giant deer will never be a slave, unless it is eaten and contained, this should be the truth.
So when he saw these deer not far away, Song Xuan seemed a little excited, although the distance was not close, but the thing under the largest of them could still barely be seen, this was probably a small family, two slightly larger, with three smaller ones out to forage.
The place is just in the recess of the forest at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by trees, this opportunity is very rare, I saw a few deer eating grass leisurely, although I raised my head from time to time to look around, but obviously did not find Song Xuan, a dozen people.
After seeing the deer, Shi Meng almost rushed up with someone, but fortunately, Song Xuan quickly stopped it:
"Call Shi Yong and them over too, catch them alive!"
Although this is a meadow protruding into the forest, it is also fifty or sixty meters wide, and it is still a little difficult for the dozen or so people to completely block it alone.
After Shi Meng knew that Song Xuan wanted to capture him alive, he began to inform Shi Yong of them, only to see him holding his hands to block his mouth, and then let out the common bird calls in the forest.
Although it sounded similar, there was a small transliteration at the end, and at the same time there was a difference in rhythm, three in a row, followed by two slower sounds, followed by three more voices, and the shrill cry was very evident in the silence of the forest, which was also the secret signal of everyone, and in this way notified others if they encountered a beast in need.
After all, it is not easy for two or three teams of people to walk in such a large area, but if they shout loudly, they will definitely attract the attention of the prey, and the prey in the forest is still quite alert, and if there is a slight mistake, they will run away.
The group of deer not far away, too, quickly stopped their mouths when they heard the cry, and two of the small ones did not even chew the grass in their mouths, and bit into their mouths like this, until the leading ram was sure that there was no accident around, and then continued to lower their heads and eat.
Soon, the same voice came from the opposite hill, and through this simple and complex way, the two teams formed a connection.
Soon they came to the other side of the deer herd, these deer obviously did not realize the danger coming, after getting used to the sound of the stone fierce, they even shook their heads and tails a few times when they heard it, and seemed to enjoy it very much, the two big ones were not yet full, and a few small deer had begun to make a fuss.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual around, the male deer "hummed" a few times, and then began to bow his head and eat again, and from time to time he also rubbed his ears and temples with the doe on the side, and seemed to be very in love.
Song Xuan didn't expect that he would be able to eat dog food when he came out to hunt, this is definitely unbearable, it is best to catch them all back, match the male deer with two more females, and let it wait for the backyard to catch fire!
"Hey, hey, hey~"
Listening to Song Xuan's treacherous smile, Shi Meng couldn't help but shudder, the divine envoy generally showed this kind of expression, it was definitely nothing good.
"Chirp"
Hearing two special bird calls, Shi Meng said to Song Xuan:
"Divine envoy, Shi Mu and Shi Yong have taken over, do you want to act now?"
Hearing that the personnel were already in place, Song Xuan shook his head and temporarily threw away some evil thoughts:
"Go, act, this time you must be captured alive!"
"Chirp! Tweeted! ”
This is the agreed signal, and then everyone starts to act.
During this time of waiting, many people have already found their own position, even if the deer is driven into the forest, it is not worry-free, and someone has to surround them when they come in, so as not to let them run around at will, this not dense forest may not be able to trap them.
The most difficult thing in this hunt is to quickly block the retreat of this group of deer, both sides are very tacit to the edge of the forest and do not continue to act, and after everyone has come, Shi Meng waved his hand and signaled both sides to come out.
Fortunately, the weeds in this area are still dense, and the thigh-high weeds play a very good covering role, but the taller grass also extends out for about ten meters, once it comes out, it is time to fight for speed, and the deer herd is only forty or fifty meters away from the line arranged by Shi Meng, and it is really hard to say who will seize the opportunity first.
Once this group of deer escaped before the encirclement was formed, it would be difficult to catch them alive, and the grass between the two mountains was not small, and Teng Snake did not have so many manpower to surround them, so it was estimated that he would have to kill the killer at that time.
So in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Shi Meng waited for the people who blocked the retreat to be in place, and then began to prepare for action, just as he bent down to take the lead in running out, the doe raised his head and directly scared him back, but fortunately, he was just tired and stretched his muscles, and soon ate grass again.
Song Xuan estimated that they should be about to eat, and seeing that the deer herd was defenseless for the time being, he glanced at Shi Meng, waved his hand to Shi Yong on the opposite side, and rushed out of the grass like an arrow from the string.
By the time the stag raised his head, Song Xuan had already run out five or six meters, and the deer glanced at each other, and then made a sound very tacitly
"Yo~!"
"Quick~!!"
Several deer reacted quickly, and as soon as they turned their heads, they tried to escape from the gap that had not yet been rounded, and both sides were racing against time to get there before the other.
Seeing that the deer herd was only about twenty meters away from the gap, and Song Xuan was still more than ten meters away from Shi Yong, the explosive power brought by the deer herd when it was in mortal danger was still quite amazing, and the speed completely exceeded Song Xuan's expectations.
Just when Song Xuan was worried that it was too late, Shi Yu, who was standing on the edge of the grass, suddenly shot an arrow, impartially, the arrow grazed in front of the deer, and the sudden arrow obviously startled them, although the body was very agile to the right and dodged, but the speed was obviously slowed down.
