wild trail

Chapter 77
The emergence of writing has made human beings break away from barbarism and ignorance, and has stepped into the threshold of civilization. It is one of the most important milestones in human civilization. Writing has broken through the time limit of language, enabling language to be preserved for a long time, and the memory of social groups With leaps and bounds, there has been an exchange of ideas between eras.

Because human life is limited, it is impossible to contact with people from several generations before and after. In this way, it is easy for civilization to release faults.

Wang Lang knew that his tribe would have its own history in the future, and his name might be written into myths and legends by future generations after countless years. Wang Lang couldn't help but wonder how his descendants would interpret their own stories.

The tribe that had been bustling for a day gradually returned to calm. With the addition of forest fires and tree bark, the construction of the fence accelerated a lot. Two days later, the buried tree stumps were all connected with three ropes. I bumped these ropes and there is no sign of damage. I am very satisfied with the performance of these straw ropes.

After the fence is built, the rest of the time is waiting.

Regarding the strange things that appeared near the salt lake, after the initial panic, the nearby animals found that there was no danger here, and gradually got used to the existence of this fence.

Since those giant deer have not come for a long time, Wang Lang took advantage of this time to strengthen the fence again. For such a strong animal, the rope is still a bit unsafe. A thatched cottage was built nearby.

The waiting process was very difficult. Wang Lang climbed up to the high platform to look towards the salt lake every day, but those giant deer seemed to have forgotten this place, and they were not seen for a long time.

A week later, a group of animals with long antlers finally appeared on the distant horizon. Kong Yi, who was in charge of monitoring, saw the animals and shouted excitedly: "Here they are, those giant deer are here."

Hearing this news, Wang Lang was refreshed, and hurriedly climbed up to the high platform.

"Where is it!" Wang Lang said excitedly.

"Over there, over there." Kong Yi pointed to the northeast.

Wang Lang set up an awning and looked in the direction of Kong Yi's finger, and saw dozens of giant deer slowly walking towards this side, and his hands holding the wooden stake turned white due to his excitement.

"Tell everyone to take weapons, and let's go to the salt lake to ambush." ​​Wang Lang ordered Kong Yi.

Kong Yi responded excitedly, and hurriedly climbed down the high platform.

"Damn it, let me wait for a while, you don't want to escape from my palm today." Wang Lang slammed his fist on the stake, his face a bit hideous.

Not long after, everyone, including the three women, gathered, rushed out of the tribe with weapons, and ran towards the salt lake. They had to ambush the giant deer before they arrived, so as to catch them all .

Eight people formed a group of two, sealed off all escape routes, and lurked in the grass, waiting for the giant deer to enter the ambush circle.

During this period of time, Wang Lang repeatedly told them how to act, and they were already familiar with what they were going to do.

The herd of deer leisurely walked towards the salt lake along the familiar route. Only the leading stag was always paying attention to the wind and grass around him. After seeing the fence not far from the salt lake, the deer herd stopped. This was never seen before. The strange things that have passed, let them be vigilant.

The herd of deer stood motionless, their erect ears kept turning, and the tree stumps in front of them gave them an extremely uneasy feeling.

Wang Lang saw that the deer suddenly stopped moving, and he was very anxious. The palm of the hand holding the spear was full of sweat. He was afraid that other people would not be able to bear the noise and scare the deer away. Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen for the time being. The beating heart calmed down a little.

The vigilant herd of deer watched without moving for more than ten minutes, and after confirming that there was no danger, they continued to move forward.

Watching the herd of deer walk into his encirclement little by little, the sweltering weather and extremely nervous mood made Wang Lang's mouth dry, swallowing his saliva non-stop, not daring to wipe the sweat dripping from his forehead .

As the deer came into the ambush circle, Wang Lang blew his whistle, and suddenly jumped out of the grass, waved the spear with Kong Er, and ran towards the deer, shouting.

The deer were a little panicked by the sudden appearance of the two humans. Although they were much stronger than humans in size and number, they were timid by nature and chose to escape, but something that made them desperate appeared. No matter which direction you flee, two terrifying humans will pop out from the grass.

The herd of deer huddled in a mess, and the young deer surrounded by the herd wailed after being frightened.

Seeing the approaching humans, the herd of deer became more and more panicked, and led by the head deer, they ran towards the only direction where there were no humans.

Seeing that the prey had been hooked, Wang Lang and the others chased after them with spears, their roars were a bit louder than before.

Since the other direction has been blocked, the panicked deer group plunged into the gap in the fence. The deer group who were eager to escape did not pay attention to the wooden post in front of them. The fastest running deer hit the wooden post heavily. , The huge force broke one of the ropes, but the sturdy wooden stake only shook a few times, and it was still firmly fixed on the ground.

Seeing that the herd of deer had already run into the fence, people hurried over and closed the heavy door.

Looking at the herd of deer running around in the fence, Wang Lang was extremely excited when he thought that these animals, which were stronger than horses, would soon be used by him.

"Lang, it's really lucky this time, not a single deer escaped." Huo said excitedly, looking at the herd of deer in the enclosure.

Wang Lang said with a smile: "This is the result of everyone's hard work. If we make a mistake, we may not receive any goods today."

Kong Yi laughed and said: "These big guys, I didn't expect them to be so timid. When I saw them rushing like me, my legs trembled. I didn't expect them to run away first."

After people chatted and laughed for a while, Wang Lang said: "Let's stay away a little bit, it's too exciting for these deer, it's not good if they crash into the fence."

People nodded, followed Wang Lang and slowly retreated a certain distance, staring at this place from a distance.

As Wang Lang and the others left, these frightened deer herds gradually calmed down. Although they were trapped in this strange thing, no companions were killed or injured, which stabilized their emotions a lot. They huddled together and watched vigilantly. Humans in the distance.

At night, in order to ensure that the deer were not attacked by wild animals, Wang Lang and Lin Huo lived in a thatched house near the fence, and the two took turns to be responsible for the night watch.
