Early in the morning, Lawrence formed a team of five and headed out into the forest.
In addition to five people, there were two dogs.
The puppy of three or four months is no longer small, and now the two lively and active puppies are the size of a big rooster.
Because Sariel and others have always been protecting the chickens, and they were often chased by the big rooster when they were children, the two puppies never dared to provoke the big rooster, and they would let out a screaming dog howl when they were chased by the big rooster.
Lawrence doesn't want this kind of nest dog that knows how to play, and it's a good thing that he doesn't dare to bully the chickens, after all, he wants to form his own perception in the manor.
You can't be so weak when you go out, and this time you hunt with two puppies, which is to gradually cultivate the hunting awareness of the two dogs.
It wasn't Lawrence who was in charge of leading the two puppies, it was Sophia.
Sophia held a shield in one hand and shouted at two running puppies in the other, "Jim! Lim! Come on! ”
The two puppies were rarely released from the manor, and for the first time they came to this side of the forest.
The outside world was too new for the two puppies, and they soon ran away, looking down and sniffing indiscriminately among the leaves and branches.
Hearing Sophia's call, the two puppies quickly took a cheerful step and ran over.
Lawrence and the others were not moving forward quickly, and seeing that the two puppies were in good spirits, Sariel said, "Put them in the blue, don't get lost." ”
Lawrence said, "It's okay, there's Sophia watching. ”
"Let Seravon watch, Sophia has better eyes than we do, and taking care of two dogs will interfere with her attention," Saliel reminded. ”
Lawrence suddenly realizes that he has forgotten one thing, Sophia is not an ordinary little girl.
"Sophia, don't worry about the two dogs, you follow behind Leglow, watch your surroundings!"
"Yes, master!" Sofia also wanted to come in handy, walking quickly from the back of the line to the front.
After following Sophia for a few steps, the two puppies were quickly attracted by the plants and grass berries left and right, and looked down curiously to find something on the ground.
Lawrence ignored the two puppies, they would bark when they encountered something, and if they really got lost, they would rely on their noses to go back.
If you don't know how to follow your master, you don't have a keen sense of smell to follow the smell, or you don't have vision and memory, and you don't know how to yell and call your master, then it's a useless waste dog.
Lawrence and the others walked forward for more than ten minutes, and the surrounding vision became dim, there were tall trees over forty meters everywhere, the sunlight in the forest was scarce, and the temperature dropped a few degrees significantly.
Sariel glanced back and saw tall cedar trees everywhere behind her.
"Lawrence! We're lost! Salil panicked.
Lawrence glanced back and said calmly: "No, we are walking in the southeast direction, and if we go to the west, we can see the river, which is the river in front of our house." ”
Sariel breathed a sigh of relief, "Really? ”
Lawrence didn't talk nonsense, changed direction and said, "Let's go this way, let's go along the river, and watch to see if there are any signs of wild beasts nearby." ”
A few people followed Lawrence to the so-called west, where only Lawrence could tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and the rest of the people almost forgot when they entered the forest.
There were no pines and oaks nearby, and Lawrence felt that if he continued walking, he would be able to get closer to the area of the Uges, but it would be safe......
"I suddenly remembered that there were a lot of deaths in the Uger people, and Doug definitely wouldn't bury all the bodies, and he wouldn't bother to bring them back."
Lawrence said calmly, "Maybe some beast has been attracted to it. ”
Reglo asked, "I'll go take a look." ”
"No, you don't." Lawrence said: "It's a long way from us, and it's enough to deal with it for a while, and when the Bhumithes come back, we'll go hunting together, and now we'll all have no shortage of food." ”
Reglo agreed, and everyone followed Lawrence for three or four hundred meters, and sure enough, they saw the river behind a few large trees.
The river here does not flow towards the Bhumithes, but meanders down to the south.
Lawrence did not remember that there was a river near the Ugs, which was supposed to be bypassed from a remote place, and considering that the Ugs had their own mountain spring water to draw from, the river should have flowed in a route away from the kingdom of Loven.
Where does it extend exactly?
Lawrence was thinking about the unexplored areas ahead when Sophia excitedly shouted, "Master! There's a wild boar there! ”
Hearing the boar, Lawrence quickly removed the bow and arrow he was carrying.
Saliel quickly said, "It's a dead pig." ”
Lawrence looked in the direction Sariel was looking, and beside a gray mound of grass, he saw the lying boar.
The wild boar is not very large, it looks like it is one meter seven or eight long, and it is about the same as an adult domestic pig of this era.
Adult boars can reach more than two meters in length, have a strong physique, and are extremely combative, fierce and aggressive.
Generally, except for the breeding boars, the rest of the boars will be killed in advance, and no family will raise two adult boars at the same time.
Lawrence approached the boar, which had been dead for about half a month, and the pig's body had been gnawed away by bugs and beasts, leaving only a layer of skin and bones.
There was a clear round hole in the skin of the abdomen, and there were also obvious holes in the rotten flesh left on the boar's body, like a fatal wound from a fight.
Lawrence quickly said, "I guess it was an accident when I was fighting for a mate, and if I had been killed by wolves and bears, my bones would not have been so intact." ”
Sariel retorted, "Wild boars are preparing for the birth of piglets at the end of winter, and this time should be over." ”
Lawrence asked, "And what do you think was the cause of death of this wild boar?" ”
Sariel was dazed: "How do I know ......?"
Seravon, who had not spoken much, said: "It may have been killed by a male boar, and this wild boar has broken into the territory of another wild boar." ”
Lawrence looked around, "Looks like there are other male boars here." ”
Sarri didn't care about that, looked at the boar's carcass and said, "Let's take out the pig's teeth, which can be used as daggers and weapons!" ”
Lawrence shook his head, "Good fangs are taken out when they are just killed, especially the ones that are close to the brain are the easiest to keep. ”
The fangs of most giant beasts are very difficult to maintain, and they cannot be exposed to the wind and sun, nor can they be soaked in moisture and water.
The bones of dead beasts quickly lose their value, and many trappers kill ivory creatures such as giant elephants and remove the part of the tusks that have brain blood, also known as blood fangs.
Saliel asked, "And this pig tooth is gone?" ”
Lawrence turned around and said, "No, there are too many insects on it and it's too troublesome, and besides, there are iron tools, what pig teeth do you want." ”
The group walked back along the river, and after coming out of the cedar forest, they looked at the fish in the fish pond by the river.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the two puppies, who were tired of playing, finally found themselves lost and howled loudly in the woods.
Sophia shouted into the woods, and soon the two puppies followed the sound and ran back excitedly.
After confirming that there was a wild boar on the other side, Lawrence was in no hurry to develop the forest, and planned to wait until autumn to trouble the wild boar.
Blacksmiths should be idle lately, and Lawrence happens to need a lot of ironware.
