Chapter 9 Abnormal
Jin Mang looked at the salt that Qing Feng brought back. To his surprise, the salt was white and delicate, not the coarse salt that had not been extracted as expected.
"Where does the salt come from?" she asked with a wink.
"Of course the salt is mined from the salt mine." Qingsui said without thinking.
Jin Mang tilted his head and watched Qing Feng pour the snow-white salt from the bag into the jar, and asked: "What does the salt mine look like?"
——Anze The jars used by humans are not clay pots. They are kneaded jars made from the eggshells left over from the chicks’ hatching. They are stronger, more durable and less fragile than clay pots.
Qing Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know, there are salt tribes who are very strict about salt mines and won't let us see the salt mines, but..."
He looked at Qingsui and said ambitiously: "After this split season is over, we can consider seizing the salt mine."
Qingsui frowned slightly, "Let's talk about it later, Jin Mang is still so young..."
Hearing this, Qing Feng's expression also became heavy. Yes, the salt exchanged this year was less than in previous years...
After getting salt, Qingfeng and Qingsui once again increased their hunting volume. It turned out that the couple hunted about 50 kilograms of prey a day. Before, Qingsui took Jinmang alone, but the hunting volume did not decrease. After Qingfeng came back,
The total amount of prey hunted by the two people every day must add up to 100 kilograms, and sometimes it can reach 200 kilograms.
As before, Jin Mang was stuffed with a lot of food every day. In just half a month, she felt that her weight had increased by at least five pounds.
——Although she couldn't figure out her current weight without weighing herself.
Qingfeng and Qingsui watched Jin Mang closely, fearing that she would be eaten by wild beasts that broke into their territory, but they would not restrict her excessively. She could move freely within a certain range of their surroundings.
Jin Mang was not used to this natural and wild environment at first, but he soon became happy in it.
She got along very happily with the small animals in her territory. Without Qingfeng and Qingsui knowing, she also tried to eat a lot of foods that were not on their daily diet, such as nuts or starchy foods.
——Jin Mang has eaten Anze's white potatoes and potatoes. The sizes are a little different, but the taste is not much different. It may be because they are natural and pollution-free, and they are a little sweeter.
This is actually a bit outrageous. You must know that without the intervention of science and technology, the original varieties of most plants are relatively unsatisfactory. Just like the modern fruits and vegetables, they are all new varieties domesticated and cultivated from generation to generation. Primitive
The taste of fruits and vegetables is not that good, the yield is not that high, and the sweetness is also low.
But the plants here in Anze are a bit strange... Jin Mang thought with some uncertainty: It seems that their practicality is even worse than the modern varieties in her impression?
However, although the yield of white potatoes is not low, there are not many survivors when they grow wild and there are many towering trees competing for nutrients.
In winter, the territory is usually very quiet, but this year there are some exceptions.
Along the way, Jin Mang has already encountered a python and a hedgehog, and just now he faintly heard the roar of a brown bear in the distance...
Aren’t these all hibernating animals?
Such anomalies reminded Jin Mang of the split season mentioned by Qing Feng and Qing Sui.
What exactly is the split season like?
Jin Mang, who was thinking like this, didn't know that the splitting season had quietly arrived.
When Qingsui wrapped her body in two layers of clothes and put a piece of bearskin on top, Jin Mang noticed something was wrong.
The weather this year is really too cold.
In previous years, she wore at most two layers of clothing and never put on animal skins.
In such a cold weather, Jin Mang would of course stay in a comfortable cave and not go out, but Qing Feng and Qing Sui took her out to inspect the territory.
This couple is not usually very keen on patrolling their territory. They usually mark their territory only once every two or three days. Occasionally, outsiders invade. As long as they don't go deep into the center, they don't care about it. But as the weather gets colder, they
I go out to inspect the territory almost every day, sometimes even once in the morning and evening.
The wind outside was too cold. Jin Mang sat on Qingsui's neck, disgusted for the ten thousandth time that her hair was not warm and soft at all, otherwise she could just sleep on it.
Yawning, Jin Mang raised his head unconsciously, and then couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Father and mother!" she shouted.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Qingsui said softly.
Qing Feng's eyes were fixed on the melee in front of him, his body tense in preparation for battle, but his voice was inaudible: "When they are finished, we will go and take advantage."
Um?!
Jin Mang opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but glance at the brown bear fighting with the wolves, and then at Qing Feng who didn't look like he was joking at all.
Isn't it?
As far as she knew, her parents would not actively provoke ferocious beasts, and they would rarely include them in their diet.
Not only is it a matter of risk, but there is also a very important reason - compared to hooved animals, the meat of beasts is more difficult to chew and requires more teeth.
The apex predators on land will consciously protect their teeth. After all, they are not killer whales. If the teeth are rotten, they can still eat them. The beasts do not understand what is filial piety and what is a mother's baby.
But depending on what Qing Feng means... he plans to eat the meat of these wolves and brown bears?
Jin Mang couldn't help but frown.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, the place where the wolves and the brown bears fought was not in their family's territory. Was Qing Feng planning to invade someone else's territory?
If you encounter a domineering lord and beast, such behavior will be regarded as provocation, and there is a high possibility of conflict between the two parties.
Normally... Qing Feng would try to avoid this situation as much as possible.
Because they were downwind, neither the wolves nor the brown bears noticed their arrival. When the only two or three gray wolves fled and the injured brown bears began to eat, Qing Feng swooped over and killed the brown bears in one fell swoop.
Press down, and then hit him with heavy punches, causing the opponent to gradually lose his breath without any resistance.
Jin Mang couldn't help but hold her breath. She didn't come back to her senses until Qing Feng and Qing Sui dragged their prey to her.
"Mang Mang, you can only walk back by yourself, is that okay?" Qing Feng and Qing Sui had prey on their shoulders and hands, and they could no longer hold Jin Mang in their arms. Both of them looked worried.
You must know that their family's territory is not generally large, at least more than 500 square kilometers. Going from the edge to the center is no small challenge for Jin Mang, who is only two years old.
But Qingfeng and Qingsui couldn't care about that at this time. They had to bring the prey back quickly, otherwise, whether it was the smell of blood or the smell of the cubs, they would attract powerful enemies.
