Han Cheng frowned slightly and asked anxiously and worriedly.
"I don't know, I came back earlier at this time..."
Tietou also looked anxious.
Apart from Han Cheng, Tietou, who professionally cuts grass and feeds deer, is the closest to the deer in the tribe.
Han Cheng put down the cloth and followed Tietou towards the gate.
Wu, Senior Brother and other members of the Qingque tribe have also received the news, and everyone gathered at the gate.
The already large deer pen that was built now seems even more empty because the deer and the others have not returned. A kind of worry and anxiety pervades the Qingque tribe.
"When did the deer leave?"
Han Cheng asked.
"as usual."
Tietou replied.
Han Cheng was a little worried.
Since they came to the Qingque tribe and started herding, the deer have only come back late twice. One time was after the spring started in the third year of Qingque. The deer master and the little doe who felt the spring were too selfless, and the other time is now.
.
It's winter now, and neither humans nor animals are as restless as they were in spring. Even if Uncle Deer comes to the second spring with great interest, it shouldn't be at this time, and it shouldn't be so troublesome.
long time.
At this time, no less than in spring, animals are migrating and hibernating. What is left are all kinds of hunters who seize the last opportunity and work hard to stock up on winter supplies.
Whether it is ferocious beasts that are not uncommon in this era, or primitive people who are no simpler than wild beasts, or herds of deer that only eat grass, when faced with them, they are just prey. No matter how they are transformed, they will not become hunters.
"Where's General Fu?"
Han Cheng asked again.
"They both came together and didn't come back."
Han Cheng's heart clenched again.
He has come into contact with General Fu and Uncle Lu not long after he came here. It would be a lie to say that he has no feelings.
And with the development of Qingque tribe's agriculture, the role of deer has become more and more important. Now they have not come back. This...
Thinking like this, Han Cheng felt a little more at ease.
There is no longer one Fu Jiang, there are five Five Little Fus that have grown almost as big as it. Even if it is really in danger, it is not without the strength to fight.
To say the least, even if they are defeated, depending on the number and luck of the deer herd, none of them should be able to come back.
Now that no one has come back, things shouldn't be as bad as imagined.
Han Cheng reassured himself in his heart.
"Son of God, I'll go out and look..."
"Yes, go out and look for it..."
The firelight flickered, the cold air hit the person, and in the somewhat silent and tense atmosphere, Shang, Junior Brother Sha and others spoke.
Everyone in the tribe values the increasingly large herd of deer, and their failure to come back affects everyone's heart.
"can not go……"
Before Han Cheng could answer, the senior brother took the lead in expressing his position.
His reason is still that it is too dangerous at night and safety comes first.
"Son of God..."
Everyone turned their attention to Han Cheng, waiting for him to make a decision.
Han Cheng was a little silent.
To go out or not to go out, that is indeed a difficult question.
"Woooooooo..."
"YoYo……"
He was not in trouble for long. Before he could make a decision, a familiar cry came from the darkness outside the wall.
There are dogs and deer.
The dull atmosphere was suddenly broken, and everyone let go of the big rocks in their hearts.
The gate opened, and the first person to come was Fu Jiang, who had been following the deer herd all day long. He jumped around Han Cheng with his five little Fus, wagging his tail.
Judging by the way they were jumping around, you knew there was nothing serious.
While Fu Jiang and the others were circling Han Cheng, Uncle Lu also came in.
He rubbed his big face against Han Cheng and walked towards the deer pen without saying a word, followed by a group of younger brothers who followed closely behind him, not too arrogant.
After confirming that all the deer were back, the gate was locked from the inside.
Han Cheng and others came to the deer enclosure, lit a fire and checked the number of deer to see if they were damaged.
As the bonfire was lit and Han Cheng and others were talking, several deer moved uneasily in the deer enclosure and hid in corners.
Han Cheng frowned slightly. This group of deer had indeed been attacked. Otherwise, they, who were used to seeing people, shouldn't be so panicked when facing him and others!
"one two three……"
Han Chengxin calmed down slightly and began to count the number of deer.
"Forty-six?"
Han Cheng spoke in surprise.
"Son of God, how many heads are missing?"
Someone next to me asked urgently.
Han Cheng shook his head and said nothing. Judging from this result, there were not only no fewer deer in his tribe, but more deer.
Han Cheng thought like this and secretly thought that his arithmetic was getting worse and worse.
Even simple counting is wrong.
Even the big deer and the small deer, the total number is only forty-one. Even if you count the three sheep mixed in the deer herd, it should be forty-four. Where did you get forty-six?
Or forty-six?
Han Cheng's eyes widened.
What's going on? Why are there so many deer all of a sudden?
"The Son of God is forty-six deer."
After counting forty-six times four times in a row, Han Cheng, who still couldn't believe the result, called the stone with the best arithmetic in the tribe besides him to count.
The result is still forty-six!
What exactly is going on?
Not only Han Cheng was surprised, but everyone in the tribe who knew the reason was also surprised.
According to today's situation, many of them are mentally prepared for the deer herd to decline.
But now the result is that not only are there no fewer deer, but there are five more deer!
This result is really unbelievable.
Did all five does give birth today?
So not only did the deer come back late, but there were five more deer?
Han Cheng thought like this, and his eyes began to wander among the deer, but he didn't see a fawn that looked like it was just born today.
Is it them?
Han Cheng looked at the deer that seemed a bit out of place and not as calm as the other deer.
Counting, there are exactly five.
"Did you abduct this?"
Han Cheng, who was surprised and happy, came to Uncle Lu who was resting on the ground, pulled his head and asked.
Faced with Han Cheng's question, Uncle Lu only replied with a cold snort.
"Hahaha……"
Han Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
Like humans, animals that live in groups also have the habit of gathering in groups.
In later generations, Han Cheng still remembered how several pigeons he raised were seduced away by other people's large flocks of pigeons.
I just didn't expect that when I got here, Mr. Deer actually lured five adult deer back.
"Good job!"
After taking a closer look and discovering that all five deer were female, Han Cheng patted Mr. Deer on the head and praised him with his thumb.
