Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 109 The Chicken Coop
The people who delivered the supplies had already arrived. They had traveled a long distance to get here, so they had to rest for two days before they could return.

In these two days, Zhou Xu's job at the barren mountain camp was to rest well besides directing the camp's reconstruction.

After all, after the transport team had finished resting, he had to arrange fifty prisoners of war to return with the transport team.

Before these prisoners of war leave, he needs to confirm all their panels.

On the one hand, it is convenient for him to make follow-up arrangements, and on the other hand, it is to see if he can find any talents, so as not to accidentally miss important talents.

For this reason, he had to quickly recover the mantra power that had been consumed before.

And the best way is to get enough rest.

It doesn't have to be sleep. Zhou Xu found that as long as he empties his mind and enters a state of complete relaxation, even if he is just in a daze, it can have similar effects.

Of course, Zhou Xu would still find something to do for himself when he had enough sleep and was in a daze.

After all, he had been idle all the time, and he was also flustered.

On this day, while making adjustments to the plan of the camp, Zhou Xu turned his attention to the chicken coop that Wang Luchong had built before.

In this primitive era with poor conditions, Zhou Xu's tolerance to various harsh environments has been greatly improved compared to the beginning.

But this time, the moment he walked into Wang Luchong's chicken coop, he still couldn't help but almost vomited out.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Several times of retching made Zhou Xu's face turn pale.

"Are you doing your daily hygiene?"

During the period, Wang Chuan, who came with him, was obviously also very smoked, but his mind was still clear. After hearing Zhou Xu's question, he hurriedly expressed...

"I do it every day, but these pheasants are so good at pulling, if you don't pay attention, they will be pulled everywhere, and these chicken feces are wet and stick to the ground, it is difficult to clean them completely..."

Having said that, Wang Chuan didn't go any further. Zhou Xu could roughly guess what happened next.

If it is not cleaned up, the chicken coop will become dirtier, dirtier and smellier.

At the same time, when he entered just now, Zhou Xu could clearly feel that the inside was full of all kinds of feather dust, and the environment was no longer simply stinky, but it was disgusting to even breathe.

I feel that if I stay in this environment for a long time, I will suffer from respiratory diseases.

"Haven't you thought about making it open-air?"

Facing this question, Wang Chuan nodded quickly.

"I thought about it. At the beginning, I built a fence and kept pheasants in it, but these pheasants flew out easily as long as they flapped their wings. It was useless to raise the fence. Later There is really no way to make such a chicken coop."

Hearing this, Zhou Xu nodded his head, he had a pretty good idea.

What he overlooked just now is that the "domestic chickens" in his impression are the result of long-term domestication by humans, and even in modern society, some free-range chickens, or pheasants and pheasants are more expensive than domestic chickens. Will flutter.

Now in this primitive era, pheasants have not been domesticated, and their athletic ability is undoubtedly stronger, and they even have the ability to fly short distances.

This forced Wang Luchong to set up this chicken coop.

But to be honest, the conditions are too bad now, and the hygienic conditions in this chicken coop are also terrible. Zhou Xu guessed that this situation cannot be solved by cleaning every day.

I'm afraid that this poor sanitation environment will breed some bacteria and viruses, which will be troublesome.

Instead of thinking about how to deal with bacteria and viruses, it is better to eliminate the problem from the beginning to save effort.

From this point of view, open-air free-range breeding is definitely the most trouble-free and reasonable.

On the one hand, it is a completely open space, the air circulation is smooth, and it is not easy to produce peculiar smell.

On the other hand, this chicken has always been pulling around everywhere. If it is placed in the chicken coop, the hygiene problem is a headache, but if it is placed in the wild, the excrement of the chicken can directly become the nutrients of the surrounding land and plants, and it will degrade naturally, basically no Need them to worry about.

But just like what Wang Chuan said, the biggest problem with open-air free-range farming at present is that these pheasants cannot be kept in captivity, and it is estimated that they will all run away as soon as they turn their heads.

To solve this problem, Wang Luchong had no choice but to build a chicken coop and keep all the pheasants inside.

But for Zhou Xu, this problem is easy to solve.

"It's a simple matter, just cut off the wings of those pheasants."

"..."

Hearing these words, Wang Chuan was silent for a while.

He subconsciously imagined that their new leader was holding a stone axe, and with two clicks, he cut off the two wings of the pheasant, and then turned to him with a smile and said, "Look, so they can I can't fly away. ' picture.

For a moment, Wang Chuan was also in a cold sweat.

During this process, although he didn't say anything, according to Zhou Xu's keenness, he undoubtedly realized that Wang Chuan might have imagined some strange picture.

"Catch a pheasant and let me show you."

Hearing this, although Wang Chuan was in a delicate mood, he acted simply, and directly asked someone to catch a pheasant.

After all, if this matter is really to be discussed, even if their leader breaks all the wings of all the pheasants, he doesn't care.

For them, these pheasants are essentially food, and in the end they have to eat the contents of their stomachs. It would be too hypocritical to be entangled in this matter.

After a flurry of nonsense, a tribesman came out clutching a pheasant.

In order to facilitate control, Zhou Xu first asked them to tie a rope to the chicken's paws, and then asked one person to control the pheasant. After pressing the wings on a relatively flat stone slab, Zhou Xu picked up a stone dagger , and began to draw and pull the tip of the pheasant's wings.

No way, there are basically no sharp knives in this era. If you want to cut something, you can only saw it like a blunt knife cutting meat.

It took a lot of effort to cut the pheasant's wings as if they had been eaten by a dog, and Zhou Xu let out a long breath.

"almost."

While speaking, he signaled the tribe members who controlled the pheasant to let it go.

Losing its restraint, the pheasant flew out immediately, flapping its wings violently while running wildly.

This situation stunned Wang Chuan and the others.

They thought that the pheasant's wings must have been broken by their leader, but now it seems that it is completely fine.

But because the rope was tied in advance, Wang Chuan and the others were not afraid that the pheasant would run away.

With the flapping of its wings, the pheasant jumped violently, as if it was about to take off on the spot.

Just when Wang Chuan and the others thought the pheasant was about to fly, something beyond their expectations happened.

After taking off, the pheasant just flapped its wings and fluttered in the air for a few times, and then stuck its head on the ground in a very funny manner.

Not two seconds later, the head stood up straight again, and turned around to quickly look around. His eyes were full of wisdom, as if he didn't understand how he fell...
