In less than half an hour, all the ponies were transported to the other side of the river.
So the ponies kept bleating on the other side of the river, while a large group of mares kept neighing and struggling on this side of the river.
"Okay, prepare the raft and drive the mare across the river!"
Seeing a group of mares in a restless mood, Xu Chen issued a second order.
Then a group of hunters began to let go, and the mares that had been strongly refusing to cross the river rushed into the water one after another.
"Quick, raft~"
"Whoa, catch me!"
"Puff thump thump~"
In an instant, the river became chaotic again. Some rafts were not ready yet, and as soon as some hunters climbed onto the rafts, many mares eagerly jumped into the deep water and swam to the other side. Many hunters who grabbed the ropes were directly killed.
He was dragged and fell into the river, and then he was pulled by the mother horse to the other side of the river, screaming all the way.
At first, these guys were still crying and howling, and many of them choked several times because of this. However, gradually some people discovered that they had reached the middle of the river without any effort. Among them, the brave Gaga ghost smiled and even rode on the mother.
On horseback, ghosts, cries, and wolves howled with excitement, and they quickly headed towards the other side of the river as if they were riding horses.
"Wow, wow, so fast!"
The hunters on the shore were completely stunned by the scene in front of them.
The wild horses that were unwilling to cross the river just now are now swimming in groups to the other side without having to drive themselves.
There were still some hunters who were holding on to the mare tightly. At this time, they all seemed to have discovered a new world. They didn't pull hard and just relaxed the rope. Then they followed the mare into the river, directly pulling the horse's tail and even
I followed the guy in front of me and got on the horse and swam to the other side.
"Wuga~"
Some people excitedly raised their voices to the sky and began to thank the gods.
The dragon looked pale and was being held on the ground by two hunters, looking at the magical scene in front of him with surprise on his face.
In order to stop a group of wild horses that were about to escape from the encirclement, this guy jumped up and collided with an adult stallion, and almost strangled the stallion to death with his arms.
Love reading books
Although he successfully prevented the wild horses from escaping in the end, he was also injured during the struggle of the wild horses, probably crushing two of his ribs.
Fortunately, after a simple inspection, Xu Chen found that the problem was not serious. At least for now, it did not appear to be life-threatening, but he needed to rest for a few months.
"Haha, don't you think it's amazing!"
Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the dragon and a group of awe-filled hunters with a smile.
"I didn't think of this method at first, but after observing for a while, I discovered that ponies are afraid of water, and many of them can't swim, so they are unwilling to go into the river. The ponies won't walk, and the mare naturally won't walk either. Plus there are a group of ponies.
The stallions among them were restless and resisting, making the entire herd uncontrollable. Now after getting rid of the most disobedient stallions, the mares and ponies will have no one to rely on. And if the ponies are taken over, the mares will
In order to take care of the pony, they all want to follow. As for the other remaining mares, they all move with the herd and will not stay alone..."
Speaking of which, Xu Chen looked at a group of hunters from the Gonghuo Tribe.
"When you attacked the Cang Clan, you had a numerical advantage, so why did you surrender?"
A group of Gonghuo hunters blushed, and one of them said in embarrassment: "Because His Majesty the Witch King captured the great Wuga, as well as women and children!"
Xu Chen laughed: "Haha, yes, because I captured the witch, women and children, you have to surrender. This is called the situation. The same goes for wild horses and people. Now there are no stallions to cause trouble.
The mares and ponies will no longer have the confidence to resist. If we get all the ponies over, since we love our children so much, these mares will have to follow us."
"Sigh!"
Xu Chen's explanation made Feng and many hunters suddenly realize it, and they nodded together with understanding faces.
"There are no mares and ponies upstream, so the stallions can't get across!" a hunter reminded.
"Haha, it's okay. We will drive the mares and ponies to the ferry later. The stallions will pass by under the temptation. This is just like the women of your tribe touching your butt every night. Do you want to go or not?
"
"Of course!" Many hunters nodded vigorously with their eyes shining.
"Haha, that's right, it's almost over here, follow me to Wild Wolf Beach!"
At this time, almost all the mares had started or completed crossing the river, and there was no horse left on the bank, leaving only messy horse hoof marks on the sandy beach.
The remaining hunters also began to fill up the rafts and follow them across the river, and there was joy on both sides.
Xu Chen got on his horse with a smile, took Gu Ju and a few protective hunters, carried a big drum, blew a horn and rode straight upstream.
By the time Xu Chen arrived at Wild Wolf Beach, the wind had already driven a group of people and stallions there for nearly an hour.
However, they tried several times, but the horses still refused to cross the river, and they were still in a stalemate.
Seeing Xu Chen, Feng and several hunter leaders came up covered in water to ask about the situation downstream. After learning that all the mares and ponies had crossed the river, they were very depressed and said that these stallions were too violent and powerful.
It was extremely difficult to tie them up and drive them away. It was too difficult to express their opinions one by one.
Xu Chen asked them to stop driving the stallions across the river, and instead prepared rafts. After waiting for almost an hour, they saw a large group of people driving a large number of mares and ponies to the ferry downstream on the other side of the river.
For a time, people on both sides of the river mouth were neighing with their backs on their backs, and stallions, mares and ponies were neighing and neighing on both sides of the river, feeling restless and restless.
The stallion kept struggling and neighing, trying to call the mare on the other side to come over.
But because the mare has to stay with the pony, she can only neigh and call.
As a result, the group of stallions who had been unwilling to cross the river began to have different differences. Some stallions directly dragged the hunters and jumped into the river, trying to swim over to save their wives and children, while others neighed and scratched their hooves anxiously.
, watching the other companions begin to cross the river, some of them started to follow them into the river after hesitation.
Now there was no need for Feng and others to forcefully drive them away. Many hunters jumped onto the rafts and started paddling with joy, following the stallions across the water. Others, relying on their good water ability, also directly grabbed the rope or even the horse's mane and tail.
Follow the stallion and swim to the other side.
Then a scene almost identical to the one downstream began to unfold.
Most of the stallions had already started to wade across the river, and some of the remaining horses finally gave up their strong stance due to being driven, and they all stepped into the river and swam to the other side.
As one after another the stallions swam to the shallow water on the opposite side, they were immediately swarmed up and controlled by the hunters who had been waiting for them, and some helped to help the hunters who had followed them to the shore.
Every time a stallion comes ashore, there will always be a burst of warm cheers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Only the wild horses that cross the river are truly harvested. If they cannot be driven over, today's large-scale horse hunting operation will be greatly compromised.
Half an hour later, Xu Chen finally let out a long breath amid cheers as he watched the last wild horse finally step onto the river beach on the other side.
After a lot of effort, he finally filled up the gap.
"Go, cross the river, go home!"
Xu Chen walked onto a raft in high spirits, and the horses he was riding on were unsaddled by a few accompanying hunters, and then they were driven into the river and swam to the other side with the raft.
…
Sunset, sunset.
Although the Ba Valley is quite lively, it seems much deserted compared to yesterday. There were people setting up stalls and trading on the river beach, some practicing pushing wheelbarrows, and many people gathered around the ponds, kilns, and courtyards to visit and
play.
On a flat grassland not far from the compound, a group of witches and tribal chiefs gathered together, each holding a clay tablet and learning to read and write with the little witch.
Although they are all a group of middle-aged and elderly women who have missed their study time, and it is very difficult to learn, and it takes a long time to barely draw a similar shape for each word, but everyone's face is full of incomparable piety.
Because this is the power that represents the gods and is the source of all innovation and mysterious knowledge. Only by learning and understanding can we better lead the tribe to keep up with the development of the Ba people.
Especially for a group of witches, they have the responsibility and obligation to record knowledge and pass on their beliefs. Writing is greater and more magical than shaman writing. It can record everything they want to record, which is the professional skill they need most.
In addition, in the future, animal skins and writing must be used to sign pacts between the great shamans of various tribes.
Witches who cannot read and write these Witch King characters must be incompetent and will be eliminated in the future.
Exchange and learning are originally the most important purpose of tribal gatherings.
In the past, the great shamans of each tribe communicated with a group of clan chiefs to summarize survival and life experiences, summarized and organized them, and then disseminated and passed them on as useful knowledge.
But among the various gatherings held by the Ba people, learning writing is the most important. At every gathering, the great shaman will convene several shamans and a group of clan leaders to learn the witch king's dictionary. As for skills, tribe members can communicate with each other.
All inventions and creations of the Ba people, as long as they are not prohibited from visiting, can now be learned from each other, but whether they can learn it all depends on their own understanding.
For example, there is a large group of foreigners gathered under the pergola all day long, watching a group of carpenters and masons busy working. They can understand that the masons are making stone mortars, sinks, stone piers and other rough stone tools, but they cannot understand the carpenters.
Build wheelbarrows and carriages.
They can learn to cut wood and burn charcoal in the kiln, but they cannot learn to process and smelt metal tools.
Because some skills can no longer be learned simply by watching and require professional guidance.
On the river beach, a bonfire has been lit, and a wooden frame has been set up to barbecue. The earthen stove has also begun cooking multigrain rice porridge and minced meat. The women are busy preparing dinner.
More than a dozen flags were arranged neatly, gently rolling in the autumn sunset and evening breeze.
The river beach is filled with a strong aroma of food.
