Compared with other beasts in the mountains and forests, this fat duck still has a closeness to people, and sometimes it flies far and doesn't know what to do, but it will still fly back before dark, rest in the woods on the other side of the river, and continue to fly during the day. The river and the forest on the other side are active. Because it is close to the Yanjiao tribe, there are no other dangerous beasts approaching, so it is relatively safe for fat ducks.
When the courage is big and you get used to it, the fat duck will not be stable.
According to the person who often observed the fat duck at the foot of the mountain, the fat duck disappeared for a long time at first, and the people at the foot of the mountain were worried that it had disappeared. When they planned to report to Shao Xuan, they found that it had come back with another One bird, then the two left, and when the fat duck came back again, he brought back another.
In this way, a bird is brought back every one or two days. These birds are not all the same, some have pointed beaks, some have flat beaks, some have long wings, some have short wings, and some have brightly colored coats. Some are dark, some like to rest in the trees, and some like to rest in the grass. Even though the birds brought back by the fat ducks are different, from the shape, we can see the similarities.
If it was in the past, when the tribesmen saw the flying birds, they would definitely hunt and kill them. But that fat duck belonged to Elder Shao Xuan, no one dared to take action, and no one even touched the other birds.
The people at the foot of the mountain are now interested in counting ducks. Whenever they have time, they go to the river to see if there are more ducks on the river today.
"Hey, how many are there?" asked a soldier who was on patrol today.
"Seventeen, it was fifteen yesterday." Another soldier on patrol said happily.
"I didn't expect these birds to increase by themselves!"
"What are you talking about?! That was brought back by Elder Shao Xuan's bird. As expected of the elder, he only brought back one bird, and it has only been a long time, and it has become seventeen!" The man said enviously.
"It's just that those birds don't look delicious. They're small and don't have much meat. They just look like ordinary birds. What does Elder Shao Xuan want so many birds for?" Someone wondered.
"Since Elder Shao Xuan did this, he must have his reasons. Let's not think about it too much, just stare at not letting people attack those birds."
"Don't say it, it's time to detour!" the leader scolded.
Compared with the fat duck, the others are more timid and highly vigilant. After all, the fat duck has been with people, has a higher degree of acceptance, and is easier to adapt to on the human site, but the others are just The difference was that if someone approached the river, those still swimming on the water immediately screamed and fled away, only to return for a long time, and some even disappeared for several days.
Therefore, in order not to frighten the birds, the people at the foot of the mountain will keep a distance even if they count them. After a long time, they have also figured out a safe distance. As long as they are outside this distance, they will not frighten the birds. . For this reason, when the patrolling personnel walked to the river, in order not to scare away the birds, they all diverted to avoid them.
So, when the hunting team came back, the ducks happened to pass there. With a quacking sound, all the ducks that were swimming on the river flew up and ran away screaming.
The hunting team returned with a full load, someone planned to shoot a few bows down, just took out the bows, and saw the patrolling people in the tribe running over, punching the person with the bow.
The rest of the hunting party: "… "What the hell happened while we were away
When the patrolling personnel explained the cause of the incident, the people from the hunting team quickly put away the bows and arrows, but the flock of ducks could not be called back for the time being.
"Are they coming back?" Dokang asked.
"Yes... but it will take a little longer. If the elders can only come back, most of the others will follow." The patrol leader replied hesitantly.
"The little elder is planning to raise birds?"
"The elder didn't care. Those birds flew over by themselves. At the beginning, there was only one bird. Later, they flew more and more. I counted twenty today!" The leader of the patrol team showed a smile, but when he thought of those birds Will I be frightened by the formation of the hunting team, will not fly back, the smile on the face will fade away, and I will be worried. After all, the hunting team still carried blood and murderous aura, which was different from normal.
Worried, the leader of the patrol went up the mountain and told Shao Xuan about it.
"Don't worry, as long as the fattest one can come back, even if the others won't come back, more new members will join in the future." Shao Xuandao.
When the patrol leader saw what Shao Xuan said, he didn't worry anymore, but he often glanced at the river every time he was on duty to see if the birds had come back, and how many.
Probably the flock of ducks was really frightened. This time, it came back a lot slower, and only 15 flew back. However, everyone saw that the green fattest was still there, so I no longer worry about it, this one is just fine, It will bring back more anyway.
Shao Xuan didn't expect the current situation at all. He thought that if this fat duck settled near the tribe, it would probably hook a few female ducks. However, Shao Xuan still muttered about the ability of the fat duck, and the guy actually hooked up. group! Today, the fat duck's harem is still expanding.
It seems right to bring back that fat duck.
If those female ducks lay eggs in the future, and some ducklings hatch, maybe some of them will inherit the detoxification physique of fat ducks. The male ducks can eat them, and the female ducks can be domesticated slowly. Let’s see if they can lay as many eggs as possible.
Regardless of whether the second generation of ducks will develop as Shao Xuan thought, it is still early, and there is not even a single duck egg, let alone the second generation of ducks.
On this day, Shao Xuan had just returned from the coppersmith of the tribe when he saw someone guarding the door, two soldiers patrolling at the foot of the mountain, a woman, and a child who was not as tall as Shao Xuan's waist.
"What's wrong?" Shao Xuan asked.
Seeing Shao Xuan coming back, the woman who was waiting there excitedly stepped forward and took out the thing carefully wrapped in animal skin that she was holding in her arms.
"This is what my child picked up in the river last night. It should be yours, Elder." The woman handed the egg to Shao Xuan.
Usually at night, the ducks will leave the artificial river, enter the woods, and return to their nests to rest. Some of the ducks built their nests in trees, some in the grass, and Shao Xuan once went to see them.
No matter what kind of wild duck it is, it does not lay eggs as often as the birds that have long been domesticated.
"Where did you find this egg?" Shao Xuan asked the child.
"In the grass by the river." There are no ducks in the river at night. These children sometimes go to the river to play out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, he picked up an egg in the grass by the river last night. . After I went back and told my parents, today I was led by two patrolling soldiers up the mountain to find Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan looked at it and saw that the egg had cracked, so he returned the egg ground to the child, "Take this egg back and eat it. Eat a little first, if there is nothing else, eat the rest."
Looking at the eggs handed in front of him, seeing that Shao Xuan didn't seem to be joking, the child grinned and caught it: "Thank you, elder! When I find more eggs, I will send them to you, elder!"
With this first egg, when the ducks leave at night, many people will go to look for them. However, few eggs can be found. Shao Xuan saw in the woods that some ducks were lying in the nest. A dozen or so eggs.
