Chapter 424 Duck eggs

Compared with other animals in the mountains and forests, this fat duck still has a close mind to people. Sometimes, it doesn’t know what to do when flying far away, but it still flies back before dark, rests in the forest on the other side of the river, and continues to move in the river and the forest on the other side during the day. Because it is close to the Yanjiao Tribe, there are no other dangerous animals approaching, which is quite safe for the fat duck.

When the courage becomes stronger and the adaptation becomes more and more stable, the fat duck becomes uneasy.

According to people who often observe the fat duck at the foot of the mountain, the fat duck disappeared for most of the day at the beginning. People at the foot of the mountain were worried that it would disappear and planned to report to Shao Xuan, they found that it was back and brought another bird with them. Later, the two left, and when the fat duck came back again, they brought another one back.

In this way, a bird will be brought back one or two days. These birds are not exactly the same. Some have sharp beaks, some have flat beaks, some have long wings, some have bright fur, some have bright colors, some have dark fur, some like to rest on trees, and some like to rest in the grass. Even though these birds brought back by fat ducks are different, in terms of shape, it can be roughly seen that similar places look very similar to ducks, and may be a little related in the history of race.

If it were in the past, tribes would definitely hunt down the birds when they saw them flying in, and they would not let the prey they delivered to their doors go in vain. But the fat duck was owned by Elder Shao Xuan, and no one dared to take action, and no one touched the other birds.

People at the foot of the mountain are now interested in counting ducks. Whenever they have time, they go to the river to see if there are more ducks on the river today.

"Hey, how many?" asked a soldier who was on the rotation patrol today.

"Seventeen, I'm still fifteen yesterday." Another patrolman said happily.

"I didn't expect that these birds would actually increase by themselves!"

"What stupid things are you saying?! That was brought back by Elder Shao Xuan's bird. It's worthy of being the elder. He only brought back one bird. It's only been a long time since it has become seventeen!" The man said enviously.

"But, those birds don't look delicious, they are small and don't have much meat. They look just ordinary birds. Why do Elder Shao Xuan want so many birds?" Someone was puzzled.

"Since Elder Shao Xuan does this, there must be his reason. Don't think too much, just focus on not letting someone attack those birds."

"Stop talking. It's time to take a detour!" the leader scolded.

Compared to that fat duck, the others are more timid and very vigilant. After all, the fat duck has been with people and has a higher acceptance. It is easier to adapt to human territory, but the others are different. If someone approaches the river and the people who are still swimming on the water immediately scream and flee, it will take a long time to come back, and some will not even see each other for several days.

Therefore, in order not to startle those birds, even if the people at the foot of the mountain go to count, they will be separated by a distance. Over time, they have also found a safe distance. As long as they are outside this distance, they will not startle those birds. For this reason, when the patrolman walks to the river, they will change the way to avoid the birds.

So, when the hunting team came back, the ducks passed by there, and with a rattle sound, all the ducks that were originally swimming on the river flew up and ran away in screaming.

Someone from the hunting team, who was returning home with a load, planned to shoot a few bows. As soon as he took out the bow, he saw the patrolling people in the tribe running over like a wind and punched the person holding the bow away.

Others in the hunting team: "..." What exactly happened when we were away?

When the patrolman told the cause of the incident, the hunting team quickly put away the bow and arrow, but the frightened ducks could not be called back for the time being.

"Will they come back?" asked Dokang.

"It will...but it will take a little longer. If the elders can only come back, most of the others will come back." The leader of the patrol team replied hesitantly.

"The little elder is planning to raise birds?"

"The elder didn't care. Those birds flew over by themselves. At the beginning, they were the one, but later they flew more and more. Today I'm already twenty!" The leader of the patrol team smiled, but when he thought about whether those birds would be scared by the hunting team's formation and stopped flying back, the smile on his face faded and he was very worried. After all, the hunting team still carries blood and murderous aura, which is different from usual.

Worried, the leader of the patrol team went up the mountain to tell Shao Xuan about this.

"Don't worry, as long as the fattest one can come back, even if the others won't come back, more new members will join in the future." Shao Xuan said.

When the patrol leader saw Shao Xuan say this, he was not worried. He just often glanced at the river every time he was on the rotation to see if the birds had returned and how many of them came back.

Perhaps the ducks were really frightened. This time they came back much slower and only fifteen were flying back. However, when everyone saw that the fattest green one was still there, they no longer worried. It would be fine if this one was there, anyway, it would attract more.

Shao Xuan did not expect the current situation at all. He thought that if this fat duck settled near the tribe, it would probably hook a few female ducks. However, Shao Xuan still muttered about the ability of the fat duck, and that guy actually hooked up a group of people! Now, the harem of this fat duck is still expanding.

It seems that it is correct to bring that fat duck back.

If the female ducks lay eggs in the future and the ducks hatched, there might be those who inherit the fat ducks from detoxification. The male ducks can eat them and the female ducks can be slowly domesticated to see if they can lay eggs as much as possible.

Regardless of whether those second-generation ducks will develop as Shao Xuan thought, it is still early and there is not even a duck egg, let alone the second-generation ducks.

On that day, Shao Xuan had just returned from the bronze smith of the tribe when he saw someone guarding the door, two soldiers patrolling the mountain, one was a woman, and the other was less than Shao Xuan's waist.

"What's wrong?" Shao Xuan asked.

Seeing Shao Xuan come back, the woman waiting there came forward excitedly and took out the things she was holding in her arms that were carefully wrapped in animal skin.

"This is what my child picked up in the river last night. It should be your thing, elder." The woman handed the egg to Shao Xuan.

Usually at night, the ducks would leave the artificial river, enter the forest, and return to their nests to rest. Some of the ducks built their nests on trees, and some built them in the grass. Shao Xuan once visited them.

No matter what kind of wild duck it is, it will not often lay eggs like those birds that have been domesticated long ago.

"Where did you find this egg?" Shao Xuan asked the child.

"In the grass by the river." There were no ducks in the river at night. Sometimes they would go to the river to play because of curiosity. Unexpectedly, he picked up an egg in the grass by the river last night. He was so happy at that time. After going back to talk to his parents, today, led by two patrol soldiers to go up the mountain to find Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan looked at the egg, and he returned the egg to the child, "Take this egg back and eat it, eat some first, if nothing else, eat the rest."

Looking at the egg handed to him, seeing that Shao Xuan didn't seem to be joking, the child grinned and caught it: "Thank you, Elder! When I find more eggs, I will send them to you!"
