Xu Chen became interested and asked a few questions carefully. He learned that it was a wild bird that he had never seen before. It was very large, had long tail feathers, and its color was as beautiful as a rainbow.
Unfortunately, the lack of language of a group of hunters prevented Xu Chen from figuring out how beautiful this bird was. He only knew that he found a particularly beautiful wild bird in front of the cave where he used to live. As a result, a group of people fought over it, and one
None of them hit the target, and the wild bird fluttered and flew away.
A group of people had no choice but to go to the milk fruit hillside below the cave to pick some milk fruits. When the sun was about to set, they decided to go and have a look. As a result, they saw the beautiful wild bird again. As a result, a group of people did not learn their lesson and started fighting over each other just to show off.
Thanks to the effort, the wild birds were alerted in advance and they ran away again.
Recently, in order to satisfy Xu Chen's request to get this unique and beautiful feather, a group of hunters searched all over the valley. They were a little angry after failing every time. Finally, they finally encountered a good bird, but they missed it twice because of the competition.
.
Therefore, it is natural to avoid quarrels and mutual complaints.
The mother came out of the kitchen with a few women to scold them, and a group of hunters dispersed. Some started to collect a few tortoises and rabbits, and some started to collect milk fruits. A group of children cheered and found wooden sticks to start prying the fruits inside.
Looking at the ripe milk fruits, Xu Chen couldn't help but grab a few to try them out.
Sure enough, it still has the same rich and silky flavor, and the taste is different from all wild nuts.
A year passed in the blink of an eye, and the milk fruit was ripe again.
He remembered the time when he had just traveled through time last year, when Ye took the risk of taking him to the hillside to pick milk fruits just for a bite to eat.
He even clearly remembered the first time Ye climbed up the steep cliff and came down with a fruit in his mouth.
At that time, in order to eat more milk fruits, he improvised and made a rattan basket.
The first time Ye carried a vine basket on his back, he was so happy and excited that he grabbed the vines and swung away on the steep mountain road. The scene was still fresh in his memory.
Wearing a short fur skirt, she is dark and thin, like a mountain elf, full of wild charm.
However, this year, the little female savage may not be able to jump anymore. Now she lives under the mountain and rarely climbs the mountain. Not only has she grown taller, but she has also gained weight. Her skin has also turned a lot whiter. She has begun to show signs of evolving into a normal human being.
.
The mountain has not been visited for more than half a year, and it is probably difficult to move forward. A group of women are busy collecting food, and they have not had time to pick milk fruits recently. I have been quite free recently, and I can just go and get more with Gu Heju.
A group of hunters said that the big bird actually appeared in front of the cave twice. It seemed that it was not passing by in the ordinary sense. It might be building a nest near the cave.
If you are lucky, you may meet again.
It’s good to be able to catch it, but it’s okay to open your eyes if you can’t.
He felt that a beautiful wild bird must be extraordinary to a group of hunters who had seen countless species of wild birds and beasts.
However, his archery skills are too poor, and Gu Heju is on par with him. If a group of hunters who hunt every day cannot hit the prey, the three of them will most likely miss it, unless God is blind.
But bows and arrows are not the only way to hunt birds in this world. In fact, the best way to catch birds is a net, especially after knowing the range of the birds' activities.
So after eating seven or eight milk berries in one go and feeling satisfied, he found some thin hemp rope and started to weave a net.
This kind of fine hemp rope is specially used to weave fishing nets. The crude fishing nets in the past have now evolved into the third generation. They are not only larger, but also stronger and lighter, with better water permeability, and even easier to disassemble and assemble.
Since the introduction of this more useful fishing net, the harvest of each fishing has also greatly increased. Sometimes we can catch hundreds of kilograms of fish in a day, and we can eat enough fish just to eat it.
However, it has a strong fishy smell, is light in taste, and has many thorns. In fact, the tribesmen don’t like to eat it very much.
In addition, making fish balls is very time-consuming.
In the past, there were jam-marinated sashimi, and men were still rushing to eat it. However, with the arrival of summer, fish tends to smell bad, and women do not have much time to carefully handle the fish meat, plus wild plants, fruits and vegetables.
After they mature and have enough food, the weather gradually becomes hotter and they eat less fish.
Hunters focus most of their energy on hunting, because fresh blood, meat and internal organs can replenish a large amount of salt that is rapidly consumed in summer. The more fish eat, the more salt they lack.
This is also the most primitive hunting instinct, which they will send out to carry out different hunting activities according to their body's needs.
In fact, the most fish is eaten in winter and spring.
Since we hired a group of foreigners to build a house last year, we have eaten fish almost every day in those months. In winter, women do not have much collecting activities, so they have a lot of time to process fish. Coupled with the condiments of fruit wine, fish is very popular.
Therefore, after eating fish for a whole winter, Xu Chen was completely injured, and now he feels a little nauseated when he sees fish.
But with the arrival of autumn, it is the golden time to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms.
This kind of delicacy is different from fish. It tastes delicious and you won't get tired of eating it for a long time.
Make a few bird-catching nets, and maybe you can get a few more meals this fall and winter.
After a rather sumptuous dinner, Xu Chen called Gu Heju over, and the three of them built a net together. Before going to bed at night, they built a thin rope net covering two square meters.
Early the next morning, Xu Chen got up early, chopped down a few wooden sticks, and after getting ready, he took Gu He, carried a rattan basket on his back, picked up a bow and arrows, and set off up the mountain with a group of hunters.
The road up the mountain was almost completely covered by weeds and thorns, but everyone was familiar with this road. Half an hour later, a group of people arrived near the cave.
The last time I came to the cave was in March in the spring, and now it's the end of June. The front of the cave doesn't look the same at all. It's all covered with weeds and thorns as tall as a person. Only the entrance of the cave is a rock, and some discarded bricks can be seen.
The stone and wooden sticks have some vague traces of old life.
"Moga!"
A group of people hid in the woods and observed for a long time. Except for the crawling and jumping squirrels, insects, snakes and some common wild birds, they did not see the beautiful wild bird they talked about yesterday.
"You go to the mountain, don't come near here, the three of us stay here to guard!"
"Watch out quack!"
A group of people exchanged a few words, and the wind took the hunter away.
Xu Chen took Gu Heju to a rocky clearing covered with weeds and observed a circle. He used wooden sticks to set up a rope net, and made some simple camouflage coverings with branches around it. Then he sprinkled some oats under the net.
Then he retreated into the woods and continued to wait.
As a result, after waiting for more than an hour, the three of them were bitten by countless mosquitoes and did not see any wild birds. So Xu Chen became a little discouraged and took Gu He with the basket on his back to pick milk fruits on the hillside below.
.
In the past, the area near the cave was the area where the tribesmen lived. Due to the frequent activities, there were very few weeds in the forest, and some wild fruits and plants were even specially cleared and planted.
But now everything is covered with dense weeds and vines, making it almost impossible to move.
Not far below the cave, the big tree with a crooked neck is still lying prone on the edge of the cliff in its eternal posture. The waist-thick ancient vines are wrapped around the trunk, and it is densely covered with green fruits. Occasionally, you can see a few that have begun to grow.
Glowing golden red.
In another month, it will be harvest season for these ancient vine fruits.
Thinking about the wonderful taste of these vine fruits, Xu Chen felt like he couldn't stop drooling.
In fact, he was surprised that there seemed to be only one such ancient vine fruit in the entire valley, and it was extremely huge. He didn't know whether it had been growing for hundreds or thousands of years.
From the way this crooked neck tree and ancient vine grow entangled with each other, it seems that they have a symbiotic relationship, with their roots almost entangled and growing together.
He very much suspected that this ancient vine was a parasitic plant and might have come from a very far away place.
And this kind of vine fruit seems to have no seeds, because when cut open, it is similar to a kiwi fruit. After years of ripening, the fruits fall down and are not seen growing on the hillsides and canyons below.
If this is the case, then this is a unique and orphan tree, and the chances of it being introduced are very low.
But in any case, such delicious and high-quality wine-making fruits are still worth transplanting and planting on a large scale. He decided to wait until winter, cut a few canes and find a place near the foot of the mountain to try cuttings. If they survived, he would
No longer do you have to risk climbing to such a high and dangerous place to pick fruits.
After the three of them stood under the tree and drooled over the vine fruits, they wiped their mouths and decided to pick milk berries first.
