The Survival of the Wild Tribe

Everyone knows that Luo Zhen has a pair of cuckoo birds. Except that Axue knows that Luo Zhen uses that pair of cuckoo birds to try out various newly found plants, only the horn bamboo family and Lu Zhan know this pair. The cuckoo bird is what Luo Zhen intends to raise to lay eggs.

It's just that the two cuckoo birds have been caught back for almost a month, and they have not been fed less, and they don't even need to find food by themselves. They sleep every day after eating, and they have gained a little weight, but they have never seen any laying eggs. As a sign, Ah Shui had to wonder if these two cuckoos were fake. He didn’t expect to feed the cuckoos as usual today, but found that there was a snowy thing in the bird’s nest. He picked it up and took a look. Is it the bird's egg he has been looking forward to for a long time?

Those who did not go out hunting all gathered together and passed a small bird's egg several times like they were watching some rare items.

"Luo Zhen, if we can raise a lot of cuckoos, will we have a lot of eggs?" Axue reluctantly turned the eggs up and down. Although she didn't feed the cuckoos, she could still be considered After watching it for so many days, even if it is just a small bird's egg, I feel full of joy when holding it in my hand.

"Well, cuckoo birds have a very high egg production frequency, and they can lay one egg in three days in the wild. If we can provide them with a comfortable and safe environment without being disturbed by natural enemies, it might be able to increase to one egg in two days. Even one a day.” Luo Zhen was also very happy to see the bird eggs, and even Lu Zhan brought two female goats back without attracting the attention of the group.

"What are you talking about? Why is it so lively?" Lu Zhan pulled Luo Zhen out of the crowd and asked him to deal with the two female goats.

Luo Zhen pointed to the bird egg in Axue's hand and explained it to Lu Zhan with a smile. Lu Zhan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the two boring little guys could actually lay eggs. He thought After raising it for so long without any movement, the female may have lost her fertility a long time ago.

"A Zhan, you can actually catch two female goats." Luo Zhen looked around the two female goats in surprise and touched them.

Lu Zhan retracted his gaze from the bird's egg and saw Luo Zhen's movements turn his entire face black. This man...how...how could he touch his mother casually in the public. Where is the kind of beast? Even the most rogue fighter would not do such a thing.

"What are you doing?" Lu Zhan pulled Luo Zhen up, lowered his voice and whispered in Luo Zhen's ears.

Luo Zhen still had a little white liquid on his hands. He didn't think his hands were dirty, so he put it on his lips and licked it. There was a lamb scent, but it was not unpleasant, as long as he could use some sweet wild fruits. When mixed into the boiled goat's milk, it will overwhelm the smell of goats, and children should like to drink it.

The children who stayed behind are ordinary people who are not in good health. Their parents are also worried that the hard-earned child will not be able to survive the long-distance travel and the upcoming severe cold. Even if they know they will stay, the child’s chances of survival are not great, even They might take their own lives, but for the sake of their children, they decided to try.

Heifu’s partner is also an ordinary man. Even if they can rely on the power of the fruit to give birth to a child, they cannot give birth to breast milk like a woman. When their children are born, they usually let tribal women give them breast milk. , And the parents use all kinds of prey in exchange.

When there is no breast milk, they will be fed juice. When the baby teeth grow, they will start to feed some broth and other things. But I want to know that these things are not enough for children to get nourishment. Children like Heifu grow up. Very thin.

I don’t know if the children here are strong enough to survive. Even if the body lacks nutrition, the children’s spirit is good, so Luo Zhen always forgets to find food that can supplement nutrition when he is busy with other things. , But there are not many things suitable for children to eat here, and Luo Zhen has no experience in raising children, so he dare not intervene more.

But now it’s different. Goat’s milk can be drunk whether it’s a lamb or a human. What's more, Lu Zhan got back two ewes that had just given birth to a cub in one go. It was when the milk was sufficient. It's enough to feed the children in the tribe, and even Ah Shui can follow along to replenish nutrition.

These are the future pillars of the tribe, and Luo Zhen has to think about it.

"If you want to drink, can't you drink it later when no one is there?" Lu Zhan pulled Luo Zhen's hand over with red ears and put it directly on his animal skin skirt and wiped it.

Luo Zhen glanced at him inexplicably, then turned to find a woman named Acao, and he needed someone to help milk the goat.

Acao is the partner of the mother-in-law's adopted son. He seems to be older than the adopted son of the mother-in-law. If outsiders don't know, they would think that they are more mothers and sons than partners.

However, there are few women in this world. Tribes with child-mother trees like the Black Panther Tribe are not bad. At least everyone can find a partner, even if there are no ordinary people, two warriors can be together. For example, some tribes that veteran soldiers met on the opposite side of Changfeng Mountain, in order to give birth to children, the status quo that several fighters have a woman at the same time has also appeared.

Of course, the current situation of Luo Zhen does not know. He was lucky enough to be picked up by Lu Zhan of the Black Panther Tribe, and the Black Panther Tribe has some regulations similar to what Luo Zhen once knew because of the existence of the child-mother tree and the Great Witch. In addition to the different lifestyles, Luo Zhen was easily integrated.

After listening to Luo Zhen’s explanation, those who were still shocked by Luo Zhen’s actions invariably coughed softly. Lu Zhan pressed Luo Zhen’s head into his arms in anger, preventing the other party from seeing his expression. Then he smashed Luo Zhen's hair fiercely, and almost didn't smother Luo Zhen to death.

"Will you explain to us next time before you do something?" Lu Zhan snorted heavily from his nose and ran away after letting go of him.

Luo Zhen was confused by Lu Zhan inexplicably, "What is this person doing?"

Hei Ya smiled lightly, "A Zhan is just shy, don't worry about him."

"It's all dark, he ran out, do you still want to go hunting?" If on weekdays, by this time, Lu Zhan would have sat next to him and waited for himself to make his own food.

Heifu's soldiers all smiled when they heard the words.

Hei Fu was very touched by the fact that Luo Zhen asked Lu Zhan to catch two ewes back for his children. He used to think Luo Zhen was a foreigner. Later, because the other party knew a lot, Hei Fu treated Luo Zhen. His thoughts are slowly changing.

Now Heifu has completely admitted that the other party is a member of his own tribe, and even believes and respects each other wholeheartedly. If you have to describe this feeling, I am afraid that he and a wizard who is the spiritual pillar of the tribe can't be too much. , Even when the great witch of the Black Panther tribe left, Luo Zhen had long surpassed the great witch in their hearts.

It's just that the big witch still has an identity recognized by the beast **** after all, and it is not the same as Luo Zhen.

Acao has a strong learning ability. She has experience in feeding children and knows how to squeeze the milk more easily. She got several bowls of fresh goat milk in a short while.

After all, there was still a little lamb in the fence, and Luo Zhen didn't let Acao squeeze it all out. He stopped when he saw that it was almost done.

Luo Zhen asked Acao to pour the goat's milk into the cleaned stone pot. The others were curious about what Luo Zhen would do, so they all followed and watched, even the mother-in-law who was preparing to tanning animal skins in another straw shed. Also came over.

There is no complicated way to boil goat’s milk. After all, these are freshly squeezed raw goat’s milk. In order to sterilize, Luo Zhen boiled it for several minutes before serving, then took out a handful of the sweetest berries and squeezed the peel. Broken, the juice drips into the goat’s milk.

The juice of the berries is red, mixed into the goat’s milk and turned into a beautiful pale powder. The little guys looked wide-eyed. They knew that Luo Zhen specially cooked them for them and stretched them all out. Little head, smelling the sweet milk scent, couldn't help swallowing.

Luo Zhen filled a small bowl with a wooden bowl and handed it over. Heifu took one of the bowls. His child had a small palm. He was afraid that the other party would knock it over. He directly put the wooden bowl to the child’s mouth and let him hold it. Drink along the bowl.

The goat's milk with sweet juice added after boiling is very fragrant. The scent of goat that Luo Zhen tasted before was suppressed by the fragrance of milk. The child's eyes sparkled after taking a sip, and he wanted to bury his whole head in it. Go to the bowl of goat's milk in front of you.

After all, it was the first time to make goat's milk. Luo Zhen set aside a portion for the adults to taste, but the quantity was not large enough for them to take one bite.

The adults don’t dislike it. It’s passed by turns that everyone took a sip. After drinking, they finally understood why Luo Zhen had to touch the two ewes happily. Now that they tasted the taste of goat’s milk, they couldn’t wait. Immediately ran to the fence and kissed the two ewes, so that they could produce more milk.

"From now on, you can squeeze some goat's milk back every morning and cook it for these little guys according to the method I just did." Luo Zhen confessed to Acao.

Acao smiled and accepted the task. Her child was older than Heifu's. She was an ordinary girl. She was five years old this year, but she looked like two or three years old.

Girls are more difficult to feed than ordinary boys. Even if Acao is very careful about raising her, her daughter still gets dizzy and fever every three days, but fortunately it is not serious. Generally, just drink some water and sleep for two days. .

The little girl held half of the goat’s milk in front of her mother, and Acao leaned over, licked the white paste off the little girl’s lips, then pushed the wooden bowl back, and smiled softly, "A mother has already drunk it. Now, you can finish the rest."

The little girl's reaction was a little slow. She tilted her neck and thought for a while before she understood her mother's words, so she obediently brought the wooden bowl to her mouth and drank the rest of the goat's milk.

Axue followed Luo Zhen to learn cooking for several days, and now he has basically taken over the task of cooking food for everyone. Now they are still living together, instead of eating separately from each household as before.

But even so, Luo Zhen still needs to make another food by himself. The picky eater Lu Zhan only wants to eat the things he made by himself, always saying that Axue's food is unpalatable. Luo Zhen has tried the taste of the food made by Axue, and the taste is almost the same as the one made by himself. Even some dishes have been made even better than Luo Zhen's. I don't know if something is wrong with Lu Zhan's tongue. The problem will have this wrong perception.

However, Lu Zhan didn't care. If it wasn't for Luo Zhen's own hands, he would rather eat the raw meat directly. Luo Zhen had no choice but to still cook for the guy every meal.

"Did you not leave that goat's milk to me?" Lu Zhan didn't know when he would come back. His body was still moist and his hair was a bit moist. It looked like he had just taken a bath in the river.

Luo Zhen heard the complaint in the other party’s tone and couldn’t help but smile. Sometimes this person is clearly strong enough to protect himself, but sometimes he’s too naive, and he likes to care about everything. Now he looks at the one who hasn’t finished drinking in the Ah Shui bowl. Goat's milk almost didn't turn the accusation in his eyes into substance.

"You caught the two ewes back, of course I have to give you a taste." Luo Zhen brought the goat's milk covered with a wooden dish next to it, and put it there for a while, only a little warm feeling.

Only then did Lu Zhan take it over with satisfaction, and gave Luo Zhen a sensible look. He took a sip first, smashed his mouth twice, then drank half of the goat's milk in the wooden bowl, but pushed the rest to Luo Zhen, "Well, it's okay."
