The backyard is also surrounded by a circle of houses, where a group of Uzbek men currently live.
In the middle is the stable, with more than ten wild horses tied inside.
The gate of the second phase is opened in this yard. The stables are placed here to facilitate entry and exit, and secondly, it is easier for a group of men to take care of them. They bring the animals in and out every day for grazing, and they also have to cut grass, feed and clean the horse manure.
A group of horses have been kept in captivity for a while, and now they are slowly getting used to it, especially this time when the five first-time tamed wild horses came back from a long trip with them. Their temperaments are already very docile, and they have completely lost all vigilance and hostility towards humans.
Xu Chen petted each horse outside the stable, and several men responsible for taking care of the horses followed respectfully, reporting to him on the recent feeding situation of the wild horses.
When it comes to raising horses, Xu Chen is definitely the number one brother in the entire tribe.
The first horse was raised by him since he was a child.
If it weren't for this pony among them, this group of wild horses would be really difficult to tame.
The success of Xu Chen's well-planned horse-catching plan made all the people in the tribe have more respect for him, especially this group of outsiders.
Riding a beast is something that no one has ever thought of, let alone dared to do.
But in Xu Chen's hands, he managed to get such a large group of people in just half a month. From now on, everyone can ride a horse when traveling far away, and it only takes two meals to get to and from the Uzbek tribe. This is really called lightning speed.
It is said that during this long trip, the hunter also gained a lot from hunting on horseback. He could catch up and kill an injured beast almost instantly, because the speed of a wild horse is so fast that human legs cannot compare with it.
Nowadays, their main responsibility is to take good care of these wild horses, carefully feeding and training them. They can not only ride, but also plow fields and carry things. They are called all-round beasts.
Raise wolves, monkeys, horses, chickens, ducks, beasts of prey, and birds of prey.
Nowadays, there are more and more wild animals being domesticated by the tribe.
Some people even began to wonder if the two giant eagles could ride on them and fly when they grew up.
"Chiliu~"
Hearing someone swallowing saliva next to him, Xu Chen turned his head in confusion. A guy was watching a foal cupping its breasts with bright eyes.
"You want to gaha?"
Xu Chen was worried that these guys would have the urge to go up and suck the mare's milk.
"I...I want to ride the big bird Quack!"
This guy made a flapping motion with his hands.
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, his face twitched slightly and he nodded and said: "Your idea is very good, maybe you will have a chance then!"
"Really?" This guy's face was filled with excitement instantly.
While Xu Chen nodded angrily, an incomparable ambition arose in his heart.
What era is this? This is a primitive era, and it is also a prehistoric civilization before the great flood. Maybe we can really find a super bird, just like the Avatars, tame it and ride it in the blue sky to travel around the world. Then
Isn't it more exciting than riding a horse?
It seems that my layout is still too small.
Riding a horse is not considered an apostle of the gods, only riding a bird is truly awesome.
Since taming these wild horses, not only his own ambitions for kingship and hegemony have continued to expand, but even these tribesmen have expanded to the point where they are almost unstoppable.
"Chenga!"
Just as Xu Chen was greeting these wild horses, Feng hurried in from outside.
He looked very excited and anxious.
Xu Chen was very curious, "Have you gone?"
"Horse, wild horse quack!"
Feng gestured to the outside of the yard and was a little excited and incoherent.
Xu Chen was stunned, "The wild horses are back again?"
"Moga Moga, there is a Moga in the Wild Wolf Valley!" Feng shook his head excitedly.
Several Uzbek people nearby who were responsible for taking care of the horses also nodded quickly and started making gestures.
It turned out that seventeen wild horses were taken care of in one go before the last departure, and most of the group of wild horses that had been entrenched in the valley all year round had escaped without a trace. However, the situation was chaotic at that time, and a few horses ran into the Wild Wolf Valley in panic.
went.
The entrance to Wild Wolf Valley is narrow and complicated. It is full of large rocks washed down by torrents and streams. There is basically no road, and it is covered with poisonous plants like the Dripping Guanyin. Except for a small pool, there are also
It's just a pile of grass and rocks, with nothing useful, and not many people from the tribe go in there on weekdays.
After the wild horses ran in, they were trapped inside and could not get out. After Xu Chen led the team to leave, a group of hunters who stayed at home and a group of Gonghuo Tribe prisoners also tried to trap some horses, but they tried twice.
They failed every time and even injured a few people.
It stands to reason that they can handle it, but because they lack the backbone of Xu Chen, and the real group of flexible and brave guys in the tribe have been taken away, the remaining horses are not good at roping horses, so these horses have been stuck.
Trapped in the Wolf Valley.
A few days ago, two horses tried to take the lead and escape, but they blocked them back.
As soon as Feng came back, he heard a few men staying at home talking about this matter. He couldn't wait to run and take a look. Sure enough, there were seven or eight horses, and they were all adult horses. Once they were caught and tamed, they could be ridden.
During this trip, everyone witnessed how powerful the horsepower is.
Not only riding on a horse is fast and effortless, but it is also invincible when hunting.
Therefore, the more horses, the better. With these adult horses, not only will the strength of the tribe be greatly enhanced, but the range of activities will be expanded countless times, and the hunting harvest will naturally be doubled.
Especially for those of them who are accustomed to hunting with bows and arrows, hunting on horseback is simply endless fun.
Whether it’s accurate or not is another matter. The main reason is that the speedy feeling of running is easy to get addicted to. Once you get used to it, you will never forget it. Going out without riding a horse is almost the same as standing still. It is so slow that it makes people vomit blood.
Xu Chen was naturally very excited after hearing this.
There is a high probability that the wild horses that escaped in the valley will never come back. If you want to catch them in the future, you will have to go near the river. There are still several groups of wild horses from there to the river beach near Uzu, but in such an open environment, if you want to catch them,
Rounding up wild horses is countless times more troublesome than last time in this small valley.
So Xu Chen and Feng Yi worked together and decided to capture it as soon as possible.
When the men heard about it, they became very excited. Nearly a hundred people quickly set out for the Wild Wolf Valley with horse poles, slings, rope nets and trip ropes.
Naturally, a group of women, children, old and young were very excited and followed to watch the fun.
The rain had eased a lot at this time, but the ground was even slipperier.
A large group of people poured into the Wild Wolf Valley, stepping on big rocks and entering the valley through a huge plant that had almost all its leaves cut off. Sure enough, they could see several adult wild horses grazing near a small waterhole in the distance.
A large group of humans came in with tools, and they immediately ran around in a panic, screaming, their manes flying, and their heroic looks. The group of men were drooling at the sight.
What a good horse, what a good horse, this time I really caught a turtle in a urn.
Xu Chen was so excited that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
The valley is narrow, only about ten acres in area, and is full of large and small rocks and densely growing thorns and weeds. The range where wild horses can move is very limited, and only the seven or eight acres near the small water pool are relatively open.
After coming in, Xu Chen did not rush to arrange for anyone to take action. Instead, he stood on a big rock and observed the situation in the entire valley. While observing, he continued to communicate with Feng and other hunters to prepare a relatively complete plan.
"Have someone go back and fetch some horses!"
After the general round-up plan was basically communicated, Xu Chen turned around and gave instructions, and several hunters immediately turned around and headed straight out of the valley.
Taking advantage of this time, Xu Chen also directed a group of hunters to start setting up in the Wild Wolf Valley.
The first step is to lay out snagging ropes and rope nets in a narrow area made of large rocks.
The other is to ambush people in places where thorns and weeds are deep.
Because the place is narrow, it is easier to drive away, and there are enough people, so the roundup plan this time is very simple. We still use the crowd tactics, but the environment is complicated to prevent injuries. Xu Chen had to give a few more words to let everyone be careful.
, don't compete with these wild horses as brutally as last time.
These horses couldn't escape, and if they couldn't escape today, there would still be tomorrow. He would rather move slowly, and he didn't want people to lose arms or legs.
What's more, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and bacteria and viruses are becoming more and more active. In this era when there is no medical treatment or medicine, with his skill as a mountain doctor, many times he can only resign himself to fate.
Soon the manpower was in place, and several wild horses were running around in the valley like headless flies in fear, neighing continuously.
At this time, the neighing of horses could also be heard outside the valley. Soon, several tamed wild horses were led in through the thigh-deep stream.
"Horn, take action!"
Xu Chen issued a formal round-up order.
"Woo~~"
Gu held his breath and blew the golden horn.
"Uga~~~"
A large group of impatient hunters swarmed forward, armed with poles and slings, and charged at several wild horses gathered not far from the waterhole.
"Eh~"
The wild horses neighed and spread their long legs and ran away.
But the place was too narrow. Apart from a small open space, there was an area with extremely complex terrain and intertwined boulders. These wild horses were running around like headless flies, and soon there were two horse roping poles hidden in the grass.
Put it around your neck.
Immediately, a large group of hunters rushed forward together. Horse poles were placed one after another, neck collars were placed on the necks, and legs were placed on the legs. Soon the two horses were pulled by the ropes and unable to move.
