Chapter 0019 The cow and the dog(1/2)
After the tribe members weaved the fishing nets, they began to weave hunting nets.
These hunting nets are used to capture wild buffaloes.
The group of wild buffaloes that once raging in the rice fields have long been remembered by Ye Qing, and the days when they can go wild are over.
The reclaiming of new fields depends entirely on manpower. The efficiency is too low, and it is difficult to reclaim enough paddy fields even if you are exhausted.
Must be awesome!
The prey that the tribe hunts on daily basis often has buffaloes, but they have never been raised because the tribe has not yet learned how to domesticate buffaloes.
The key to training cows lies in the bull’s nose ring.
The weakness of a cow lies in the bull's nose. When the cow is worn with a bull's nose ring, he is very honest and obedient. He goes east, goes east, goes west, goes west.
Although the buffalo I just caught was not very obedient because of the new training and could not let one person run the plowing field alone, there was no problem in participating in the plowing field.
As long as there is a person leading the cow in front, the cow can plow the field, and the people who lead the cow and children can do it.
Ye Qing's idea was to take all the wild buffaloes wandering near the tribe. If he couldn't do his best, it would be enough to catch forty or fifty heads.
In that case, the efficiency of reclaiming new fields can be several times higher.
With ox plowing, it will not only help the current new fields reclamation, but also help the tribe's future rice field planting.
With ox plowing, the labor required for farming will be reduced and the efficiency of farming will be greatly improved. The amount of fields that each laborer can cultivate will also be greatly increased.
Rice yield will also be greatly improved.
The grand scenery of Guman Cang will wave to the tribe.
And sufficient food is the cornerstone of the development of a civilization.
...
Ye Qing did not participate in the cattle hunting operation. He was only six years old. He participated in the cattle hunting, even if it was just a command, it was a death act.
He hasn't lived enough yet!
He set out with Ye Qing's redesigned hunting net, and captured the buffalo people, and returned from the swamp where the buffalo was roaming.
They hunted two buffaloes, one dead and the other alive.
The tribe members are very happy.
Just so happened that the task was completed according to Ye Qing's instructions, and there was also beef to eat. It was so beautiful!
A cow has been enough for the tribe to eat for two or three days.
When was the last time I ate beef? How many days have it been?
I counted my fingers and couldn't use both hands.
Forget it, it's been a long time anyway!
Ye Qing: “…”
Ye Qing was speechless when he looked at their harvest.
Two cows are one big and one small, the dead are big cows, and the living are calfs.
The calf's nose was wearing a bull nose ring made of bamboo, but it was dripping blood, and blood and snot kept flowing.
After a closer look, the wound in his nostrils was so big that it was stuffed into his fist. Obviously, the calf refused to follow his tribe along the way and was pulled into pieces by his tribe.
Who did it? He can't be beaten to death!
The blood flowed like a faucet. Can this cow survive?
"Qing, your method really works. This cow was brought back alone, and we don't need to carry it."
"Yes, you're obedient!"
They praised Ye Qing in a verbal way.
obedient?
The bull's nose was slammed!
Ye Qing had a dark face and carefully asked about the whole process of their hunting.
The tribe members described with a gaze of how to drive away, how to surround, and race and fight with wild buffaloes. Some said how clever they were, and some said how brave they were.
The guy with a large piece of bruised horns on his chest was slapped, and he was a little dull about how he pressed the bull's head to the ground before being stabbed to death by everyone on the plane with a spear.
Everyone praised his bravery and praised him as the number one warrior in the tribe.
Wrestle with the bull?
So awesome!
The best thing about a person is his brain!
Ye Qing couldn't help but: "Where is your website?"
"It's bad...it's bad."
After asking, it turned out that they were two people in a group of people to pursue and intercept them.
When two people operate simultaneously, they require high coordination and are often escaped by the cow because of poor cooperation.
Moreover, there are bushes in the wild and the nets are often caught. Just solving these nets takes a lot of time and misses a lot of opportunities to catch buffaloes alive.
The net designed by Ye Qing is much larger than the net they usually use to hunt, and they are not used to it for a while.
The net has a very small role.
Another way they can catch buffaloes is to set traps.
However, it is not ideal. There are silts of slush in the swamp and bushes with reeds, so there is no place for traps to be arranged.
Even if there are several suitable places and traps are laid, the buffaloes cannot catch the trapped buffaloes in time because of the group of buffaloes. Over time, the trapped buffaloes will naturally break free or run away.
Ye Qing was speechless.
The buffalo is easy to catch, but it is hard to catch, and it is hard to catch, so the key depends on the method.
A creature like a buffalo is very fierce when he has strength, and is very obedient when he has strength.
It is not difficult to catch buffalo by mastering the characteristics of buffalo.
Ye Qing watched an episode of "Animal World". A group of hyenas hunting buffaloes. They first kept intimidating and driving away the cattle, allowing the cattle to run constantly, running all the time, and never let the cattle stop for a moment.
Finally, the exhausted buffalo in the herd was left alone due to exhaustion and became a big meal for the hyena.
The exhausted buffalo was standing like a fool, and was bitten by a group of hyenas from the anus and dragged out the intestines and internal organs, and then scrambled to eat them.
At this time, the buffalo was not allowed to die for a moment. He watched the hyena eat its intestines and internal organs, but could not do anything, and could only whine.
Therefore, it is also very simple to catch buffaloes alive.
As long as the tribe members hold the torch and take the dogs, they take turns to intimidate and drive away the cattle, be careful not to let the cattle go into the water, let the cattle run on land and drive away all the time.
Until the buffalo was exhausted and could not run, then, he chose the agile tribe, took the net, walked forward, and threw it directly, and it was done.
Next, the buffalo took it and asked for it.
At this time, the buffalo cannot even walk on the road, so how can they have the strength to break free from the hunting net and fight against humans?
Therefore, catching buffaloes doesn't need to be as earth-shaking as they say.
Ye Qing took a net for them to hunt and signaled his clan members to let go of the calf.
The calf was let go, and after running for a distance, Ye Qing chased after him with a hunting net and spread the net...
thump!
The net covers the cow, the running calf stepped on the mesh, and then kneels down.
The calf lying on the ground hit his already wounded nose, and it mooed tenderly in pain. It struggled hard, but could not stand up.
Its legs penetrated into the mesh and could no longer be able to break free.
The more you struggle, the tighter you will be.
The voices of the tribe members came to an abrupt end.
This...this is over?
The tribe members were dejected. You looked at me, I looked at you. A hundred people were busy all day, and it turned out that they were in vain.
It turns out that catching buffalo is so easy!
The next day, the cattle hunting team set out again. This time, in addition to the net, they also brought enough pine branches torches and all the dogs of the tribe.
Torch and dogs are the most powerful means to drive away cattle.
Dogs are the first domestic animals to be domesticated by humans and the longest and most faithful companion to accompany humans.
The dogs domesticated by the tribe are Chinese pastoral dogs.
Overall, the Chinese pastoral dog can be said to be the best breed.
First of all, it is easy to feed. Eat everything. When there is no food to feed, you can feed your shit.
