Chapter 156 Two birds with one stone
Amid the bustling noise of a group of women, the three of them carried two captured birds home with great confidence. Naturally, they were cheering from the group of women, children, elderly and weak left at home.
These two wild birds were so big and beautiful that everyone gathered together and couldn't bear to leave.
There are even some older women who whisper in a low voice, seemingly wanting to get a new and beautiful feather to decorate themselves.
And those women who are still raising children are full of envy and jealousy.
They don't have the right to wear feathers yet.
But such beautiful feathers made them feel itchy.
Such beautiful feathers have never seen them before.
Two wild birds were tied with ropes and placed under the eaves. Xu Chen personally brought a bowl of water and placed it next to it. He sprinkled a handful of wheat grains. Then he pointed to the beautiful feathers of the male bird and smiled at the leaves that were watching without blinking. "Is it good?"
"It looks good!" Ye was excited with a hint of shyness that he had never felt before.
This is the wild bird that Xu Chen personally helped her catch back. It is also the most beautiful wild bird she has ever seen. There are several long colorful tail feathers, one of which belongs to her.
She decided to keep her own feathers well and keep them until the child grows up. She wants to wear them on her head every day so that everyone knows that this was found specifically for her by Xu Chen.
In order to catch these two birds, Xu Chen's hand was pecked.
Looking at the frozen blood on Xu Chen's fingers.
Ye felt very distressed and grabbed his injured fingers and gently licked them like a cat licking his claws.
Xu Chen:...
It seemed a little embarrassed in public.
However, the little mother savage cousin's tongue was extremely flexible, and occasionally sucked it gently, which made him feel a urge to tremble in his soul and he couldn't help but hum.
It’s fine if you lick your own fingers, but you also like to lick other people’s fingers.
"Kill the bird?"
Gu squeezed to Xu Chen and gestured excitedly.
Xu Chen couldn't stop pulling his finger out of the little savage's mouth, laughed dryly and shook his head and said, "No, let's build a house for the two birds!"
"Buy a house?" Gu's face was full of inexplicable ideas.
"Raised it and lay eggs!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Feed ducks?" Someone came over and asked in surprise.
"Yeah!" Xu Chen nodded.
Everyone was in a state of turmoil, and Ye's emotions were instantly lost. His face became pale with excitement and excitement. After a moment of staying, he turned around and squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.
Everyone looked at each other. It turned out that Xu Chen had caught two wild birds in order to get beautiful feathers, but he didn't expect that he wanted to raise them like wild ducks to lay eggs.
But this idea seems to be good too!
The successful experience of raising ducks tells them that raising wild birds is completely the best way to get a good source of food.
Since the existence of these ducks, pregnant women and children will eat a few bird eggs every month, and they don’t have to go out and take risks to find them.
The incident of Gu He's venom in the snake was filled with joy.
The same is true for catching birds in the mountains. When going out in the morning, Mom Ba and a few older women repeatedly reminded a group of hunters and three of them to be careful.
Although this time it was successful, who can guarantee that nothing will happen next time?
If such a beautiful wild bird can lay eggs and hatch, not only will the whole clan have endless beautiful feathers, but it can also have an extra bird egg as food.
So it was completely different from Ye's sadness and loneliness. Almost all the tribe members cheered and praised Xu Chen's magical idea and creativity. Some people could not wait to turn around and help find wooden sticks and green vines.
Even Mother Ba agreed very much and ordered a few men who stayed at home to help build a bird room. Thinking that Ye must be sad, he went to Ye's room to comfort him, saying that he would continue to arrange for the hunter to help find a beautiful feather to hold an adult ceremony for her.
"Woooo, I want this kind of feather!" Ye squatted in the corner of the wall and cried with his face in a heartbroken manner.
"Moga, I will only raise it next year!" Moba continued to persuade.
"I don't want one!" Ye Bu was moved. Now that he has grown up, he has gradually begun to have a little temper.
Mother Ba was helpless and angry.
She is a parent and no one dares not to listen to her words.
But even she was wrong about this. Since Xu Chen left early, Ye has been thinking about it at home and from time to time, he has also run outside the gate to look at the mountainside. He finally hopes for a huge success and joy to come back, but in a blink of an eye, it is lost again.
In fact, Moba was very sorry for this matter.
But from the perspective of the entire clan and the future interests, Xu Chen’s bird raising plan is undoubtedly the best.
Therefore, she would not spoil Ye, and she had to ask Xu Chen to pull down the bird's tail feather and give it to Ye as a gift for him.
However, she didn't want Ye to complain or be dissatisfied with Xu Chen from now on, otherwise her family division plan might be discounted.
So Muba decided to express her thoughts first and let Ye choose which one is more important.
If Ye can't figure it out, then she will have to face the puppet selection ceremony on the Old Mother's Day next spring, and she will have to find another way to leave Xu Chen behind.
Mother Ba sat by the bed and slowly told Ye about her arrangements and plans.
Ye squatted in the corner of the wall with aggrieved face and cried, but slowly stopped crying. The more he heard, he became more and more dazed. Finally, he turned into an extreme surprise. He turned around and threw himself into Moba's legs in front of him.
"Mother Baga, really?"
"Really, really, Chenga, don't know, don't say it..."
Seeing Ye's excitement, Mother Ba's heart instantly relaxed, a relieved smile appeared on her face, and a kind-hearted face helped Ye wipe away the tears from her face with her rough big hands covered with calluses.
"Woooooo, Mom Bagaga is so good!"
Ye was so excited that he lost control of his emotions and lay in his mother's arms and cried with joy.
"Okay, go see the kids, don't be lazy!"
Mother Ba touched Ye's head and stood up and went out.
There are a lot of family affairs every day, and now it is the time to collect harvests. She is not too lazy to care about the love between the family and the children.
Whether you are happy or not, it is just that the relationship between Xu Chen and Ye is too important to the future of the Ba people, otherwise she would not have been so patient in dealing with this matter.
After all, family interests transcend feelings.
There is no turnover between tribal survival and tribe-people's feelings.
There were jinglings in the yard, and Xu Chen and Gu Heju were busy building a chicken cage.
After a group of women went home to see the beautiful feathers, they rested for a while and then went out to collect them with their mother Ba.
A group of children gathered under the eaves to watch two wild birds. Some of them couldn't help but want to touch them, but they were quickly pecked and burst into tears.
Under the guidance of Mother Ba, Ye had completely recovered his emotions and even became even more excited. He felt a gust of wind when walking. He carried a well on his back and held the room in his arms. He rushed out of the room and scolded a group of children not to get close to the wild birds. Then he rushed to grab the ropes crawling around in the middle of the yard. He instantly turned into a three-headed and six-armed mother god, and began to take care of the children's daily life.
But now, she no longer felt the boredom and fatigue of her daily life, but was filled with unparalleled excitement and joy.
Because she will soon form a new family with Chen and have a complete two-person world.
While she was busy with her back and forth, her eyes kept falling on Xu Chen, who was working while chatting with Gu Ju and others.
She has always known the tradition of family siblings not being able to marry.
Although she had the idea of rebelling and even elopement with Xu Chen, she also knew that this hope was extremely slim. Therefore, after learning that she had grown up, she had an uncontrollable desire, hoping that she could mate with Xu Chen once and express her love for him.
Unfortunately, her hint was rejected by Xu Chen.
This made her very sad, so she settled for the second best, hoping to get an adult gift from Xu Chen.
But this hope was shattered just now.
But now, she has received better news.
And this news perfectly solved everything she wanted.
Mother Ba has planned a happy future life for her and Xu Chen.
Suddenly, all her grievances were gone, only excitement and excitement.
The chicken cage is close to the duck house, but it is much smaller.
Therefore, it was built very quickly, and the chicken cage was successfully completed in just two hours.
In order to adapt to the living habits of wild birds, there is not only a nest, but also a crossbar.
"Soga, grab the bird!"
Xu Chen checked it for the last time, opened the chicken cage door and closed it a few times, and felt that there was no problem, so he ordered Gu Heju to catch the two wild birds.
Soon the two of them caught a wild bird and came over with each other.
Xu Chen came out of his room and held a sharp little copper knife in his hand.
Seeing the bronze knife, Gu's face shivered slightly, and asked in horror: "Gaha?"
"Cut your wings and feathers, otherwise you will be afraid of flying away!"
Xu Chen first grabbed the female bird's wings and slowly cut the wing feathers shortened one after another, and then let the hemp ropes on the wings and legs be thrown into the chicken cage.
Next, it's the male bird's turn.
The male bird is fierce in nature and keeps struggling and calling when his wings are cut. He even pecks Xu Chen's hands and swords several times. However, facing the three young humans, this struggle is useless. The shaved ridge of the ridge was pressed to the ground.
After cutting off a piece of the wing feather, facing the most beautiful long tail feathers, Xu Chen directly reached out and pulled them all down.
“Wow!”
I originally thought Xu Chen would leave his tail feather or cut it off, but I didn't expect Xu Chen to be even more cruel.
"Okay, throw it in!"
After getting a few extremely beautiful long tail feathers, Xu Chen was satisfied and smiled from ear to ear.
This day's hard work is the goal of these bird feathers.
But now we have chickens and feathers, which can be said to be a great harvest of two birds with one stone.
Chapter completed!
