Looking at the male bird thrown into the chicken coop, Gu Heju and the two tool men who helped showed painful expressions on their faces.
Xu Chen also took a look inside, his face twitching and he couldn't help but say "f*ck".
It is said that a hairless phoenix is not as good as a chicken.
This sentence is the most true portrayal right now.
I just saw two birds flying in court in front of a cave on the mountain, with colorful feathers like phoenixes.
But now that the wings have been cut off and the tail feathers have been plucked, the male bird is covered in feathers and has a bald tail. It has completely transformed into a chicken and a dog-like existence. The beauty, nobility, and elegance are gone.
, not even as exquisite as the female bird, just like a prostitute who went to a brothel for three days and was raped seventeen or eight times by a group of old ladies. It was so miserable that one couldn't bear to look at it.
Why are these two ugly birds naturally cast aside by people?
A group of people packed up their tools and left. A group of children looked around for a while and felt that it was too ugly and not worth watching, so they went to pry the milk fruit.
"Which one looks better?"
Xu Chen walked up to Ye holding three long colorful tail feathers.
Ye hugged Fang and carried the well on his back, his face full of excitement and a bit at a loss.
From the moment Xu Chen pulled out three long brocade feathers, she knew that she would be wrong. In fact, Xu Chen just didn't want to kill the bird, and he didn't say he wouldn't give her the feathers. She just ran away before she could ask clearly.
Therefore, facing the feather that Xu Chen brought over, I felt extremely ashamed.
"They're all beautiful!" Ye lowered his head so hard that he almost couldn't hear his voice.
"But you can only have one..."
Xu Chen took the three feathers in his hand and looked left and right, and finally chose one on his own initiative and put it in Ye's hand.
"Just this one, it's the longest and the prettiest."
"Thank...Xie Ga!" Ye clutched the feather tightly, tears of emotion falling down.
"Why are you so polite? Fang Ga, give it to me. You can put the feathers in Mother Ba's room to avoid being ruined by a group of children!"
"Um!"
Ye handed the room to Xu Chen with a crying sound, and then took the three feathers away with a smile while crying.
“It’s really troublesome to take care of a baby!”
The little guy started crying very quickly after he got it. Xu Chen didn't have the slightest intention of becoming an uncle. He only felt his scalp was numb. He walked back and forth in the yard while holding the little guy in his arms. Fang still kept kicking his legs and crying.
, I had no choice but to take him to the chicken coop to watch the two ugly birds.
"Oh, don't howl, don't howl, let's see if the two chickens my uncle caught today look good..."
Xu Chen let the little guy look at the two wild birds in the cage.
The little guy didn't give him any face at all and howled even louder.
Xu Chen was hurriedly patting and bumping, and just when he wanted to throw him into the chicken coop to calm down, Ye hurried over to pick up the child, and the little guy stopped crying in an instant.
Xu Chen:……
"Kukukuku..."
Seeing the depressed expression on Xu Chen's face, Ye couldn't help but smile proudly while holding the child.
Xu Chen was even more speechless. He pointed to the room and said, "Aren't you tired of holding it? How comfortable is it to put it in the cradle?"
Ye suppressed laughter and shook his head: "The cradle is too small, so I won't be able to sleep for long!"
Xu Chen also knew that as the child grew up, he no longer liked the quiet cradle as much as he did at first. He only liked to be carried by adults and walked outside. However, looking at the way Ye Bei struggled to hold each other, he always felt that he should find a way to let them go.
She is more relaxed.
Now among the women in the tribe, Ye is considered the youngest, and there is another one who is only eight or nine years old. Although she also helps take care of the children, most of the burden falls on Ye. Currently, there are three children who cannot walk yet.
Ye was already so busy that she couldn't rest all day, and four more pregnant women appeared in the tribe. The children were born one after another, and her daily task of raising children would continue and become more and more tiring.
Xu Chen frowned and thought for a moment, then called Gu Heju, gave some instructions, and then everyone got busy.
Busy and busy, the sun sets soon and the day is about to pass.
In the evening, the wind brought a group of hunters back from the mountains. They had a good harvest today and hunted a brown stag, weighing fifty or sixty pounds.
This kind of woodland wild deer is somewhat different from the wild deer on the river beach. Its limbs are thick and powerful, and its two horns have only one fork, which looks very hard.
The wild deer was thrown to the ground, and a group of children surrounded it with a roar and sucked its blood.
Xu Chen's face was twitching and he didn't know what to say.
For the safety and health of the tribe, he once warned against eating raw meat and drinking raw blood.
However, since there is currently no additional salt as food supplement, salt-rich blood and internal organs are naturally the best way to supplement salt.
Not only do hunters take advantage of the heat to breathe after killing their prey, but a group of children have also developed the same habit.
It’s not that you can’t change it, it’s just that the environment is such that you have to do it for your health.
Although Xu Chen himself had always insisted not to drink raw blood and eat raw meat, he could not completely prevent his tribe from continuing to live like this.
On the way home, a group of hunters must have known that Xu Chen had caught two beautiful wild birds, so they went straight to the chicken coop before they had time to rest. After seeing the two wild birds with ragged feathers, they ran away eagerly.
When they came to Xu Chen to ask about the whereabouts of the feather, Xu Chen asked Ye to take it out of Muba's room and show it to them. The group of people suddenly let out a long sigh, but they were also a little depressed.
After getting beautiful feathers, their mission was completed.
But in the end, it was Xu Chen who did it for himself, which was quite a loss of face.
Xu Chen also briefly talked about the process of catching birds. In fact, the methods are similar to those used to catch wild ducks, except that one uses a rattan basket and the other uses a rope net.
Although this method is very effective in catching birds, it is a bit useless for a group of hunters because this method is too slow and luck is very important. Sometimes you may not be able to catch one even if you wait for a long time.
And their task is to satisfy the meat supply of the entire tribe, so it is far less direct and faster than attacking with bows, arrows and spears.
What's more, birds have never been humans' main source of meat, and they can't even be considered as a supplementary source of meat. Obtaining one occasionally can only be regarded as an unexpected gain. Since the advent of bows and arrows, the opportunities to eat birds have gradually increased, but
Their main prey is small and medium-sized herbivores.
Today, it took a group of people to chase this mountain deer for half the mountain, but it was enough for the entire tribe to have a good meal.
But after the feathers are done, they will no longer have to go to the mountains tomorrow. Instead, they will go hunting on the river beach, which has a greater chance of success.
"What is the taste?"
Xu Chen suddenly sniffed a few times and felt that after Feng and others left, there seemed to be a strange and strong fragrance remaining in the air.
This smell is vaguely familiar.
He dropped the stone ax in his hand and stood up and headed straight for the wild deer.
As he got closer to the wild deer, the scent became even more obvious. When he drove away a group of blood-sucking children and saw clearly the bulge on the belly of the wild deer, he couldn't help but reveal a clear look of joy on his face.
Not surprisingly, this is a musk deer, which as the saying goes is the fragrant deer.
However, this fragrant deer was much larger than the ones he had seen in the breeding farm, almost twice the size of ordinary deer.
Musk is a very rare medicinal material. It has the effect of rejuvenating, relieving pain and reducing swelling. The effect is much better than ordinary herbal medicine, and it has almost immediate effects.
Musk is used in many Chinese patent medicines with miraculous effects in later generations, such as Yunnan Baiyao, the most common hemostatic medicine, Liushen Pills for treating toothaches and headaches, Pien Tze Huang for treating severe diseases and pain, and Suxiao Jiuxin Pills for emergency relief, etc.
It is simply the most natural and pure original analgesic and antibiotic, a truly rare good thing.
Xu Chen was very excited.
In this primitive and barbaric era, in addition to ensuring food and clothing so that you don't starve to death and freeze to death, you also need to have life-saving medicinal materials at all times, otherwise you may die from even a minor injury.
He has been continuously collecting all kinds of medicinal materials he knows, and making some emergency reserves based on his simple knowledge of herbal medicine. The emergence of musk can be said to have qualitatively improved his medicine reserves.
In addition to Tianqi and Chonglou, this is the third type of medicinal material that has appeared, and it has the most miraculous effects. It is also an animal medicinal material.
Add musk to Tianqi and snake gall powder, and you can almost make a simplified version of Pien Tze Huang.
This was the most effective anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug in the world before the Western medicine penicillin was invented.
At this time, a man came over with a stone knife and was about to kill the fragrant deer. Xu Chen quickly reminded him to cut off the sachet first.
"Don't get cut!"
Seeing the careless looks of the two men, Xu Chen kept nervously reminding them.
"Don't worry quack!"
Although the man in charge of the operation didn't know what Xu Chen wanted to do with this thing on his belly, he still carefully and slowly cut off the sachet and a large piece of flesh around it.
Holding the musk sachet that was still bleeding, Xu Chen found a clean slate and carefully cut it again, leaving only the sachet part. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and found a hemp rope to tie it up.
Tie it up and hang it on the antlers in your room.
After slowly drying in the shade, you can open the sachet and take out the musk inside.
Musk is not only medicine, it is also a top spice.
Therefore, after hanging the musk in the room, a scent will soon fill the room.
This aroma is not only refreshing, but it can also repel mosquitoes. In the hot summer when mosquitoes are rampant, it is simply the ultimate natural mosquito repellent.
However, this thing cannot be used casually. It is said to have a great impact on pregnant women and may cause premature birth.
Therefore, during dinner, Xu Chen specifically talked about this matter and asked the women to try not to go to their rooms, especially the pregnant women, so as not to affect the fetus.
Mother was naturally very nervous after hearing this, and gave her strict instructions several times. It was only after a group of women said they would not go that she felt relieved.
In fact, Xu Chen didn't know the extent of the impact of musk on the fetus, but he took this opportunity to prevent a group of aunts from disturbing his sleep in the morning.
There are often women who will go directly to the room to call him if something happens in the morning.
And he was always in a high-spirited state as Optimus Yizhu, so the scene was extremely embarrassing.
Especially today, the little mother savage licked his fingers in public, causing the second brother to be in a state of quantum superposition for half the day. He was very worried that he would be caught and seen when he couldn't help but work at night, which made him even more worried.
