Original War

Chapter 86

After returning to the tribe, completing the baptism ceremony, everyone in the hunting team went down the mountain. Shao Xuan didn’t have many prey, so he took the prey down the mountain directly.

This time Wu didn’t immediately leave Shao Xuan to talk, because all his attention was on the green thief brought back by the advance team. He didn’t have time to pay attention to the others, but after the baptism, Wu told Shao Xuan to wait. I will look for him again in a few days, when the witch will find someone to speak.

The number of beasts brought back by the advance team from this hunt was not as large as before, and the quality of the beasts was not as good as before, but this time they did the most. It is impossible to directly tell the story of the green thief, only a few people in the tribe know, and the people who know it are also people who have considerable status or contributions in the tribe. Most ordinary people don’t know, the only thing they know is that the advance team made a lot of contributions this time.

Ordinary people in the tribe, most of them don’t worry about what contribution the advance team has made. They are more concerned about the gains of the hunters in the own family. As for other people’s affairs, they are just verbal topics, even if there are many. People are curious about the performance of the advance team, but after returning to the tribe, they forget about it and are busy dealing with the prey.

Shao Xuan dragged the prey home, put it down and ran to Lao Ke, and brought some fresh meat and some bird eggs by the way. When he went down the mountain, Shao Xuan gave Mai and Langga some bird eggs. Anyway, he ate a lot of bird eggs in the green space. He brought them back to let everyone eat them. Look at the bird eggs in the green space and other places. There is no difference, whether it can be used as a medicine egg.

In Laoke’s room, Shao Xuan briefly talked about the harvest this time. Of course, there are things that need to be kept secret.

“That kind of white wool is very suitable for setting up after the thread is connected. Unfortunately, it cannot be stored for a long time. I originally wanted to bring some back for you to see. I encountered some trouble in the middle. It has deteriorated and lost its elasticity, and it will break as soon as it is pulled. When we come back, it has already degraded.”

Although some of the vocabulary Shao Xuan said when he explained it felt strange to him, he could also infer the meaning of these words and understand what Shao Xuan said.

“It’s a pity,” Old Ke said. Materials are hard to find, which is one of the main reasons for the gradual loss of this skill.

“It would be great if we could find a way to bring them back intact in the future.” Shao Xuan said.

Old Ke shook his head, “Don’t force it.”

For Lao Ke, his biggest wish is to pass on the skills he has mastered to the right people, and now, he has found Shao Xuan, no regrets. Moreover, Shao Xuanneng can follow the advance team and return safely, which is luck and strength.

“Are these eggs?” Old Ke looked at the eggs that Shao Xuan had thrown into the pot and asked.

“I brought it back from there. People in the advance team often eat it, so I brought some back.”

Hearing Shao Xuan’s words, Old Ke didn’t ask any more. Since Shao Xuan said that the advance team often eats, it should be a good thing.

Shao Xuan left three bird eggs, and all the others were given to Lao Ke. After having dinner at Lao Ke’s in the afternoon, Shao Xuan took Caesar home.

Before the sun had set, Shao Xuan planned to deal with the beast meat he brought back.

A stone pot was set up in the room and the fire was lit. Shao Xuan put the remaining three bird eggs into the stone pot, planning to cut them after cooking and take them to the other side of the cave.

After the egg was thrown into the stone pot filled with water, Shao Xuan didn’t care about it. He handled the beast meat outside the house, otherwise the Ye Yan would come out to stir up the trouble when it was dark.

Caesar was lying on the door of the wooden house holding a bone and chewing on it. With a sudden ear movement, he turned to look at the stone pot in the house. After listening carefully, he got up and ran to the stone pot and looked into the pot.

There are three bird eggs in the pot, all the size of Shao Xuan’s fist. These three are not the largest or the smallest among the eggs that Shao Xuan brought back. There are not so many patterns, but the eggs are of different colors.

Shao Xuan brought in the chopped meat and put it in a stone jar to marinate. When he turned his head, he saw Caesar staring at the stone pan.

“What are you looking at?” Shao Xuan walked over and glanced into the stone pot.

At a glance, there was a crack in one of the eggs, and the egg was still shaking.

Damn it!

Shao Xuan directly put his hand into the stone pot, fished out the broken bird egg, and took a look at it in his hand.

The egg shell just cracked, and Shao Xuan fished it in time, and there was no water in it. The crack in the egg got bigger and bigger, and there was a chirping sound from inside.

Obviously, the bird in this egg is coming out.

Looking back at the stone pot, Shao Xuan fished out the other two eggs from the stone pot with his other empty hand.

Fortunately, the stone pot has just been set up, and the water temperature has not yet risen, otherwise the bird that is about to break the shell will be cooked directly.

None of the bird eggs that I brought back had such a situation. After eating so many bird eggs, none of them had formed in them. When digging out bird eggs, Shao Xuan followed what Bai Bai said, taking those eggs that looked like they had just been stolen, and generally there would be no shaped birds in them. This is the experience of chanting. Actually it is not that sympathy is overflowing, but if the green space is not easy to light up, and there are formed birds in the eggs, he does not like eating them raw, and it is inconvenient to boil eggs, that’s all.

Bird eggs that have just been stolen are generally cleaner, while eggs that have been left for a long time have some stains or other marks on the eggs. The birds that stole the eggs don’t pay much attention to hygiene, and the bird’s nest is not delicate and simple. The bird droppings from the upper bird’s nest can still fall into the lower bird’s nest. So when Shao Xuan picked them cleanly, he didn’t shake them one by one and listen to the confirmation.

Besides, whether the bird’s egg is formed or not, in fact, there is no need to care too much in that situation. And before that, Shao Xuan hadn’t encountered a chick in the egg. Unexpectedly, one appeared now.

Shao Xuan’s hand that had just peeled the animal’s skin was still bloody, the cracks in the egg in his palm were getting bigger and bigger, and the chirping sound coming out of it became clearer. Shao Xuan can clearly feel the movement of the egg through the palm of his hand. He looked at the egg and thought to himself, if this little bird can survive, it will be raised as a chicken. I just don’t know if it can lay eggs like a chicken. , Raised until the end of the year, slaughtered and eaten.

The cracked eggshell was pushed out, and the chicks inside gradually revealed their body.

It wasn’t the little chicken that Shao Xuan had seen. The little bird was wet and hairless, and his eyes didn’t open.

Nestlings are divided into early and late adults. Early adult birds can open their eyes as soon as they emerge from their shells. They are furry like chicks, able to stand, walk, move on their own, and feed independently. The late-birds cannot open their eyes after they come out of their shells, and they don’t have much hair on their bodies, so they have to stay in the nest and rely on their parents to feed them.

And this one in Shao Xuan’s hand is obviously a late adult.

Shao Xuan observed the beak of the little chick in his hand. The long beak seemed to be meat-eating.

Probably because the bloody smell on Shao Xuan’s hand irritated the chick, the little bird had a big beak, and he pecked at Shao Xuan’s hand. He probably thought it was food, but found that he couldn’t swallow it.

Shao Xuan looked around, took out a piece of old animal skin to cushion it on the stone table, put the little chick in his hand on it, then dragged out a piece of uncured animal meat, cut off a small piece, and tore it into smaller pieces. Pieces, sandwiched with two thin wooden strips and placed in the open bird’s beak.

The cut beast meat is the weakest of the prey that Shao Xuan hunted back, but it won’t be too weak. Shao Xuan didn’t know whether the bird could withstand the energy in the beast meat.

Unexpectedly, the little chick swallowed it directly, and then continued to grow its mouth, and continued to chirp.

There seems to be no problem.

Shao Xuan continued to feed him a few more times before he closed his mouth. Sleep when you are full.

Looking at the small chicks nesting on the animal skins, Shao Xuan shook the two bird eggs that he had fished out before listening to the sound, and then threw them into the stone pot to continue cooking.

As for the little chick that had just broken its shell, Shao Xuan shook his head, it was almost cooked, but fortunately it came out of the shell before it was cooked.
