Chapter 81

The setting sun was like blood, and an unknown bird's song occasionally came from a distance.

Chen Bei hunted two giant-horned deer, skinned them, and wrapped the dead bodies of the two tribesmen with deerskin.

Chen Bei said softly: "You are a member of the Mang tribe for a day, and you will be a member of the Mang tribe for the rest of your life. Even if you die, you will not be left alone here."

Chen Bei wiped the corners of his eyes, choked up and said: "Let's go, the leader will take you home."

The rhinoceros king silently carried the bodies of the two, and Chen Bei followed the rhinoceros king, walking forward step by step.

Lie and other totem warriors followed behind, with wet tears still on their faces.

When they came, they were still two living people, but when they returned, they turned into cold corpses, how could it not make people sad.

When it was getting dark, they joined Baicao and others who were waiting anxiously in front. Those totem warriors were very sad when they saw the corpses of their clansmen.

They spent the night on the mountain. In the early morning, the north wind blew up, and the weather became even colder. After a while, a layer of snow-white frost condensed on the ground.

Winter is coming quietly.

After dawn, the people of the Mang tribe set off again. Except for meals and overnight stays, they hardly stopped on the way, and walked all the way back to the Mang tribe.

When seeing the familiar tribe again, everyone's eyes were moist, and they finally came back.

"We're home."

……

At night, two dead clansmen are cremated in front of the altar. It is said that their souls will be protected by the totem god.

Later, at Chen Bei's insistence, their ashes were put into exquisite clay pots and buried on a hillside east of the tribe, turning into two graves.

"Let them lie there and watch the tribe every day, and they won't be too lonely."

From this day on, all the dead people of the Mang tribe, whenever they have the opportunity, will be burned to ashes, put into clay pots, and buried on that hillside.

This has become a tradition of the Mang tribe.

The dead are gone, and the living continue to live.

……

Winter has truly arrived, and according to Wu's prophecy, the first snow this year will fall in five days.

Everyone knows that the witch's prophecy is very accurate, so the preparations for the sacrificial ceremony became more intense.

The winter sacrificial ceremony is related to the number of new totem warriors in the tribe, which is really important to the tribe.

The second day after Chen Bei came back, he personally led the hunting team into the mountain.

On the one hand, it is to find more sacrifices, and on the other hand, it is also to find something for myself, so as not to be too immersed in sadness.

Today they were lucky, they found a wild boar nest, and a big wild boar was caught by Chen Bei not long after it ran out. With his current strength, it was too easy to deal with the wild boar.

The big wild boar was tied up, and even its long mouth with tusks was tied up, only the nose was still panting.

"Hohohoho..."

Another big wild boar also ran away, but it didn't run very far, and turned around to make a threatening sound to everyone in the hunting team.

"Strange, why doesn't this wild boar run away?"

Yun walked a few steps forward, and the wild boar quickly backed away, but when Yun stopped moving forward, it turned back again, obviously very scared, but it didn't run far.

Chen Bei said: "Catch it back."

"Yes!"

Yun immediately led the hunting team to surround the wild boar with fishing nets.

If the wild boar was determined to escape, even if Yun and the others could catch it, they would have to use a lot of hands and feet.

But this wild boar is a bit strange, its eyes have been staring at the wild boar nest, wanting to run but not daring to run.

"Whoosh!"

The hunting team surrounded the wild boar, and then they used fishing nets to trap the big wild boar. The wild boar struggled frantically, but to no avail, and was finally tied up.

However, up to this moment, it was still staring in the direction of the wild boar nest, looking very anxious.

This wild boar den was built in a sunken stone cave, with a boulder extending outwards on top to shelter it from wind and rain.

The stone cave is full of all kinds of grasses and twigs brought by wild boars, weaving into a big wild boar nest, with only one oval entrance, the inside is dark, and the situation inside cannot be seen clearly from the outside.

Chen Bei looked at the wild boar nest, and said to a totem warrior of a hunting team: "Pull this nest open and see what's inside."

"Yes, chief."

Immediately the totem warrior went over and pulled a mass of grass and twigs out of the boar's den.

The big wild boar that was tied up suddenly struggled crazily, but it was useless, and he could only watch helplessly as the wild boar nest was dismantled bit by bit.

Soon, the entrance of the wild boar nest was demolished. At this moment, a small wild boar covered with yellow and black patterns suddenly sprang out from inside.

The totem warrior had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately rushed forward, pressing the little wild boar to the ground.

The little wild boar let out a sharp cry, and its four little hooves swung wildly.

Soon, five young wild boars sprang out of that wild boar nest, all of which were captured alive by the hunting team.

There are a total of six young wild boars, each weighing about a dozen catties, apparently born in autumn.

Yun stepped forward, looked into the wild boar nest, turned around and said to Chen Bei: "There is nothing inside."

Chen Bei nodded, glanced at the big wild boar struggling wildly, and said, "No wonder you ran and fell back again, so you wanted to protect them."

Yun pointed to one of the little wild boars, and said, "Boss, what should we do with these little wild boars? Should we eat them directly, or take them back as sacrifices?"

Chen Bei thought for a while, and said: "It's so small, it's a pity to eat it, there happens to be a sow, take it back and raise it."

The Mang tribe now raises colorful pheasants, triangular green sheep, red ducks, and gray rabbits...but they haven't raised pigs yet, because they didn't catch little piglets before, and all they caught were big wild boars.

Now this opportunity is very good, with sows taking care of them, these wild boars should be able to raise up smoothly.

It only takes a few generations of domestication to slowly turn wild boars into domestic pigs, which are very important domestic animals.

Afterwards, Chenbei captured several giant horned deer and two bison, and returned to the tribe with these prey.

After returning to the tribe, the wild boars were handed over to the pig raising team and put into the livestock pen where the triangular green sheep were raised.

However, that night, Lao Lu found Chen Bei with a sad face.

"Boss, that big wild boar is too fierce. The house that closed the Sanjiao Qingyang couldn't hold it! The door was broken by it."

Chen Bei said: "I didn't expect this question."

The wild boar has a violent temper and is very destructive. A house made of wood can house the triangular green sheep, but it is difficult to house the wild boar.

Is it possible to build a house with stones?

But there is no cement, if it is piled up directly, it is estimated that it will not be very strong.

what can we do about it?

Chen Bei frowned and thought about it. After a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of an idea.

"Since a wooden house can't keep them closed, it's better to just dig a hole at the foot of the mountain, as long as the door is made strong."

"That's right, why didn't I think of that." The old deer showed joy on his face.

Chen Bei said: "You go back first, tomorrow I will send someone to dig a hole for you, and let the carpenter make a solid door."

"Okay, thank you leader."

With a solution to the matter, the old deer breathed a sigh of relief, and his steps back became brisk.
