Amidst the bustle and bustle of a group of women, the three men carried the two captured birds home majesticly. Naturally, they were greeted by the warm cheers of a group of women, children and the elderly who stayed at home.
These two wild birds were so big and beautiful that everyone gathered around to watch them and were reluctant to leave.
There were even some older women, whispering to each other, as if they also wanted to get a new beautiful feather to decorate themselves.
And those women who are still raising children are full of all kinds of envy and jealousy.
They don't have the right to wear feathers yet.
But such beautiful feathers made them feel itchy.
No one in the Uzbek tribe has ever seen such beautiful feathers.
Two wild birds were tied with a rope and placed under the eaves. Xu Chen personally brought a bowl of water and placed it next to it, sprinkled a handful of wheat grains, and then pointed at the beautiful feathers of the male bird and stared at them without blinking.
Ye smiled and said, "Does it look good?"
"Good-looking!" Ye was excited with a hint of shyness that he had never seen before.
This is a wild bird that Xu Chen personally caught for her. It is also the most beautiful wild bird she has ever seen. It has several long and colorful tail feathers, one of which belongs to her.
She decided to keep her own feathers until her children grow up. She would wear them on her head every day to let everyone know that Xu Chen found them specially for her.
In order to catch these two birds, Xu Chen's hand was pecked open.
Looking at the blood that had solidified on Xu Chen's fingers.
Ye felt very distressed, grabbed his injured finger, and licked it gently like a cat licking its paw.
Xu Chen:……
It seemed a little embarrassing to be in public.
However, the little female savage cousin's tongue was extremely flexible, and she would occasionally suck it lightly, which made him feel the urge to hum with a trembling soul.
You just have a habit of licking your own fingers. What does it mean if you like to lick other people's fingers?
"Kill the bird?"
Gu squeezed next to Xu Chen and gestured excitedly.
Xu Chen couldn't help but took his finger out of the little savage's mouth, smiled dryly and shook his head and said: "No, let's build a house for the two birds!"
"Build a house?" Gu looked confused.
"Raise it and lay eggs!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Feeding duck quack?" Someone understood and asked in surprise.
"Yeah!" Xu Chen nodded.
There was a commotion among the crowd, and Ye's mood suddenly dropped. His face suddenly turned pale with excitement. After a moment of silence, he turned around and squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. They originally thought that Xu Chen caught two wild birds to get beautiful feathers, but they didn't expect that he was going to raise them like wild ducks to lay eggs.
But it seems like a good idea!
The successful experience of raising ducks taught them that raising wild birds is the best way to obtain high-quality food sources.
Since the arrival of this group of ducks, pregnant women and children can eat a few eggs every month without having to go out and take risks to find them.
The incident of Gu He being poisoned by snake venom made everyone feel sad.
The same goes for hunting birds in the mountains. When they went out in the morning, Muba and several older women repeatedly told a group of hunters and the three of them to be careful.
Although it was successful this time, who can guarantee that nothing will happen next time?
If such a beautiful wild bird could lay eggs and hatch, not only would the whole family have an inexhaustible supply of beautiful feathers, but they would also have one more kind of bird eggs to use as food.
So it was completely different from Ye's sadness and loneliness. Almost all the tribesmen cheered and praised Xu Chen's magical idea and creativity. Some people even turned around impatiently to help find wooden sticks and ivy.
Even the mother-in-law agreed very much and ordered a few tool men who stayed at home to help build the bird house. Thinking that Ye must be sad, she went to Ye's room to comfort her and said that she would continue to arrange for hunters to help find a good-looking feather for her.
She held a coming-of-age ceremony.
"Wow, I want feathers like this!" Ye squatted in the corner and hugged the wall, crying heartbrokenly.
"Moga, keep it until next year!" Mother Ba reluctantly continued to persuade.
"I don't want one!" Ye was unmoved. Now that he has grown up, he is slowly starting to have a little temper.
Mother was helpless and angry.
She is a parent, and no one dares not to listen to her words.
But even she thought about it wrong. Ever since Xu Chen left home early, Ye had been thinking about it at home. From time to time, she would run outside the gate and look at the mountainside. She finally looked forward to a huge success and joy, but in the blink of an eye,
Failed again.
In fact, Muba was very sorry about this incident.
But from the perspective of the whole family and comparing future interests, Xu Chen's bird-raising plan is undoubtedly the best.
Therefore, she would not coddle Ye and had to ask Xu Chen to pluck out the tail feathers of the male bird and give it to Ye as an adult gift.
But she didn't want Ye to complain and be dissatisfied with Xu Chen from now on, otherwise her family separation plan might be compromised.
So Mu Ba decided to express her thoughts first and let Ye choose which one was more important.
If Ye can't figure it out, then she will have to face the mate selection ceremony on Mother's Day next spring, and she will have to find another way to leave Xu Chen behind.
Mother sat beside the bed and slowly told Ye her arrangements and plans.
At first, Ye squatted in the corner and cried with aggrieved face, but he slowly stopped crying. The more he listened, the more dazed he became. In the end, it turned into an extreme surprise. He turned around and threw himself in front of his mother, who was hugging her.
Seeing Ye's excitement, Mother's heart instantly relaxed, a relieved smile appeared on her face, and she used her rough, calloused hands to wipe away the tears on Ye's face with kindness.
"Wow, my mother is so good!"
Ye was so excited that he lost control of his emotions and lay in his mother's arms crying with joy.
"Okay, go see the kids, don't be lazy!"
Mother touched Ye's head and stood up to go out.
There are a lot of family matters every day, and now it is the harvest season. She has no time to care too much about the family's love for her children.
You have to work whether you like it or not, but the relationship between Xu Chen and Ye is too important to the future of the Ba tribe, otherwise she would never have dealt with this matter so patiently.
In the final analysis, family interests surpass feelings.
There is no trade-off between tribal survival and the feelings of the tribe.
There was a clanging sound in the yard, and Xu Chen and Gu Heju were busy building a chicken coop.
After a group of women went home and looked at the beautiful feathers, they rested for a while and then went out with their mother to collect feathers.
A group of children gathered under the eaves to watch the two wild birds. Some of them couldn't help but want to touch them, but they were quickly pecked and started crying.
Under the guidance of her mother, Ye has completely recovered her emotions and even became more excited. She felt like she was carrying a gust of wind when she walked. She carried Jing on her back and held Fang in her arms. She rushed out of the room and yelled at a group of children not to get close to the wild birds.
, and then furiously grabbed the rope that was crawling around in the middle of the yard, and instantly transformed into a goddess with three heads and six arms, and began her daily routine of taking care of the children.
But now, she no longer feels the boredom and fatigue she usually felt, but instead was filled with unparalleled excitement and joy.
Because she will soon form a new family with Chen and have a complete world for two.
While busy going back and forth, her eyes kept falling on Xu Chen, who was chatting lively with Gu Ju and others while working.
She has always known the family tradition that brothers and sisters cannot marry.
Although she had the idea of rebellion and even running away with Xu Chen in her heart, she also knew that this hope was extremely slim. Therefore, after learning that she was an adult, she had an uncontrollable desire, hoping that she could mate with Xu Chen once and express her love.
My own love for him.
Unfortunately, Xu Chen rejected her suggestion.
This made her very sad, so she settled for the next best thing, hoping to get a coming-of-age gift from Xu Chen.
But this hope was dashed just now.
But now, she got better news.
And this news perfectly solved everything she wanted.
Muba has already planned a happy future life for her and Xu Chen.
Suddenly all her grievances were gone, only excitement and excitement.
The chicken coop is next to the duck house, but it is much smaller.
Therefore, the construction was very fast, and the chicken coop was successfully completed in only two hours.
In order to adapt to the living habits of wild birds, there are not only nests but also a crossbar inside.
"Sou Ga, catch the bird!"
Xu Chen checked it one last time. After opening and closing the chicken coop door a few times and feeling that there was no problem, he ordered Gu Heju to catch the two wild birds.
Soon the two of them caught a wild bird and came over.
Xu Chen came out of his room holding a sharp small copper knife in his hand.
Seeing the copper knife, Gu turned pale and trembled slightly, and asked in horror: "Gaha?"
"Cut the feathers on your wings, or else you might fly away!"
Xu Chen first grabbed the female bird's wings, slowly cut the wings short, then untied the hemp ropes on the wings, legs and feet and threw them into the chicken coop.
Next it was the male bird's turn.
The male bird had a fierce temperament. It kept struggling and screaming when its wings were cut off, and even pecked Xu Chen's hand and knife several times. However, facing three young humans, this struggle was useless. He was pinned to the ground and shaved.
Ling Ba Ya.
After cutting off a section of the wing feathers, facing the most beautiful long tail feathers, Xu Chen reached out and pulled them all out.
"Wow!"
I originally thought Xu Chen would leave his tail feathers or cut them off, but I didn't expect Xu Chen to be even more ferocious.
"Okay, throw it in!"
After getting a few extremely beautiful and slender tail feathers, Xu Chen was so satisfied that he smiled from ear to ear.
After a hard day's work, the goal is these few bird feathers.
But now we have gained both chickens and feathers, killing two birds with one stone.
These feathers were one meter long, and they must be very cool when placed on the head. He couldn't help but put them on his head to make gestures, and even made a monkey-like appearance and movements, which immediately made a group of children scream.
