Chapter 155
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the two birds were like bored young men and women in love. Sometimes they flew, sometimes they fell down and pecked at each other's feathers, and sometimes they went to the well to drink water. In short, they just didn't go near the bird net.
Perhaps the two birds did not find the bait at all.
Xu Chen started to get angry. He was afraid that the wind would wait for a group of people and could not help but think about running back again, and then scared the wild birds away.
"Chirky~~chirky~"
Just when Xu Chen was extremely anxious, a few tits suddenly flew out of the woods on the side, landed straight near the bird net, and began to peck at the wheat grains in the open space.
These tits are not small in size. If you catch them together, you can stew them in a pot.
Unfortunately, Xu Chen was not interested in these broken birds at all today. Looking at a group of tits rushing to eat wheat grains, he was so angry that he wanted to throw a stone out.
The inappropriate group of tits came, but it also brought new changes to the situation. The two wild birds in love were obviously attracted by the tits pecking at them. They all looked at the rocky clearing where the bird net was located. Perhaps because this group of uninvited guests affected their pick-up of girls, the male bird suddenly flew up and rushed towards a group of tits.
A group of tits flew away in a bang, and the male bird landed next to the bird net, staring at the branched bird net and observing.
This bird should have been here to pick up girls for several days in a row, so it is very familiar with the situation near the cave. This thing seems to have never existed before.
But after all, it is just a bird. Although it is alert, it is not as smart as to recognize the trap.
Not to mention a bird, even a savage who has never seen before will be caught by food.
Therefore, Xu Chen's heart that had been holding on to him finally calmed down slowly, and he grabbed the rope tightly and waited for the opportunity.
The male bird pecked at the wheat grains a few times, but still did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he always observed the surroundings and even slowly entered the range of the bird net.
"Chenga~"
Seeing the wild birds entering the bird net, Gu was excited and gestured gently to pull the rope.
Xu Chen hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly, pointing to the female bird standing on the edge of the well.
It is said that people in love are fools.
Birds in love are naturally stupid birds.
This is a common intelligence reduction program for animals, and there are not many differences.
Because during the courtship process, dopamine will be secreted at a high concentration and will obviously lose its mind in handling many things.
And an excellent hunter will always choose the best time to take action.
Although this hunter was a little disappointed, he still had the ambition to kill two birds with one stone.
"Gugugugugu~~"
After pecking for two minutes, the male bird finally made a sound of summoning her companions. The female bird spread her wings and flew over without any hesitation. She fell next to the male bird and began to bury her head and pecked her. The male bird pecked the scattered wheat grains and threw them in front of the female bird. Sometimes she would use her claws to dig a few times to the ground, reminding the female bird.
This is such a chicken!
Xu Chen was so familiar with this action.
Don’t the big roosters raised in rural areas all call hens to eat like this?
Suddenly, Xu Chen made a new discovery, and the ambition of raising chickens came to his mind instantly.
Chicken is a domesticated pheasant.
These two birds are big enough and have the characteristics of chickens. Although they have never seen such beautiful chickens, there are actually many types of chickens on the earth before traveling through time. In addition to the common reed chickens in China, there are many very beautiful chickens at home and abroad. The size and color of feathers vary greatly, and one of them costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In fact, among all poultry and livestock, chickens are at the latest.
Dogs have the longest domestication history.
This is because humans gradually develop different domestication needs for different food and living environments.
To raise chickens and ducks, you must have a fixed shelter and sufficient food, because chickens and ducks can fly and must be fed to produce value.
Dogs can hunt and wander with humans, and they can depend on each other even if they wander around the world, so there is no need to have a fixed place to raise a dog.
Dogs don't mind being poor.
If the chicken is not good, you will definitely run away if you don’t feed it for a few days.
Although Xu Chen has been looking for ways to raise chickens since the move, his goal is still very traditional to focus on birds such as pheasants.
The scene of this beautiful wild birds pecking at each other today made him suddenly realize.
The times have changed, and raising animals also needs to keep pace with the times.
In this special era, animals and plants are extremely rich, and they are completely different from the environment they once lived. I don’t have to stick to the traditional knowledge I know to deliberately seek to domesticate the species I know.
These two wild birds are huge in size and are completely worth raising.
Therefore, he pressed the idea of stewing the two wild birds in a pot, grabbed the rope and was excited to wait for the two wild birds to enter the pot.
Although the male bird has always been more vigilant, even if he asks the female bird to peck at the food, he still stretches his neck around him from time to time to observe, but he still fails to see through this trap. The two birds slowly entered the rope net with the most wheat grains.
Finally, Xu Chen took action.
He pulled the rope suddenly.
The wooden sticks that supported them were pulled out, and the rope net covering the branches and weeds was scattered.
“Wow!”
Before Xu Chen could stand up, Gu Heju and his two moves faster than him, like two wild beasts rushing out. When Xu Chen walked out of the woods, they had already pressed the rope net tightly, and the two wild birds were covered in it and flew desperately.
“Catch Gaga.”
"Chicken stew mushrooms, cheesy..."
Gu Heju smiled so much that his back teeth were exposed, and the terrifying laughter of ghosts and wolves howling shook the mountains and fields.
Xu Chen was afraid that the two guys would think about the chickens stew mushrooms, so he killed the two wild birds, so he quickly stepped forward and held down the two wild birds that were fluttering in the rope net. Under his advice, the three of them carefully turned over the rope net and slowly took out the two wild birds.
"Bird feathers are good-looking!"
Gu carried the huge male bird and was extremely excited to see the clump of colorful tail feathers dragged to the ground.
He held the female bird tightly, smiling and silly.
Xu Chen took out a spare hemp rope to tie the wings and legs of the two birds, and then took the two birds to watch, laughing at him.
Both birds are very large and have some weight in their hands. They probably weigh three or four pounds in total.
For flying wild birds, this weight is no longer light.
Moreover, the feathers of both birds are very beautiful, especially the male bird. The feathers are like phoenix crowns and robes, with bright colors and natural harmony. In addition to the most beautiful long-tail feathers, a tuft of golden feathers on the top of his head is also very beautiful, which makes him unable to help but want to pull it with his hands.
"Du!"
Before Xu Chen's hand approached the male bird's head, he was pecked violently. The hard beak directly pecked through the skin, and blood emerged instantly.
"Hiss~"
The dogs are quite straight.
Xu Chen almost burst into tears of pain. He pinched the male bird's neck and shook it a few times and stuffed it into Gu's hand. Then he licked his fingers and grinned and began to clean up the rope net.
...
It was almost noon, and near the foot of the mountain, Moba and a group of women were busy collecting wild oats and wild beans.
Listening to the shouts of Gu Heju and others coming from the mountain, they couldn't help looking up on the mountain.
As the sound got closer, soon, three people were seen coming down from the mountain with baskets on their backs, as if they were carrying two big birds in their hands, one of which was colorful and very colorful.
"Wow, catch the bird!"
The young woman who was close to each other couldn't help but cheer in surprise, threw down her basket and went up to meet her.
Looking at the group of women running over with surprise, Gu Heju was even more proud. He raised the wild bird in his hand and showed it. The women surrounded him and were so surprised that they wanted to reach out to touch him.
"Be careful~"
The two birds are very wild, and even if they are tied up with legs and wings, they are still extremely aggressive.
Before Xu Chen could finish his reminder, the two birds took turns to speak out, and a group of women were pecked and exclaimed in surprise.
"Bloody..."
A woman covered her fingers with tears in her eyes and made a crying sound.
Faced with such a fierce wild bird, a group of women did not dare to get close to each other, but they were still full of interest and curiosity about such two beautiful wild birds. Mother Ba and the rest of the women rushed over and took a few glances, and praised Xu Chen and the other two with joy on their faces. Then a large group of people followed them home happily.
It is important to collect food, but the etiquette of the people of the tribe is even more important.
After all, a woman's adulthood means that the tribe will have another power to reproduce and grow, and has unique value and significance for the tribe's inheritance.
The population size is always the only criterion for measuring tribal strength.
What's more, Ye's identity has become more important because of Xu Chen's changes.
Since Xu Chen cannot become a witch, he must find a way to keep him in the Ba tribe.
Let the adult Ye family reorganize a new family with Xu Chen, form a unified tribe with the Ba people, and then hand over the next patriarch to Ye, then you can solve all problems in a beautiful way.
This is the final decision formed by Moba after experiencing helplessness, panic, sadness and even despair, after Xu Chen and Ye slept together, and then slowly thought about it.
Only in this way can the Ba people keep Xu Chen legitimately.
After the separation of tribes, Ye did not need to accept the courtship of the current adult men of tribes.
As for whether Ye's family should recruit adult men, as the patriarch, she can restrict her from doing so.
A family with only one man and one woman.
Although this is very inconsistent with the inheritance, in order to keep Xu Chen, Mu Ba felt that this was the best way.
Ye became Xu Chen's only spouse, so Xu Chen did not have a family conflict with other men for mating rights.
Although doing so seems unfair to both.
But for the long-term plan of the Ba people, they should be able to accept this unfairness. The only thing that makes Mother Ba difficult is how to speak out to the two of them.
Xu Chen naturally didn't know that Mo Ba racked his brains to think of this disguised monogamy system to keep him.
