Shao Xuan didn't know what the bird would look like when it grew up, what its habits and flight ability would be. Maybe it would be similar to a chicken, or maybe it would be a bird of prey. If it is the former, it can only be used as food, and if it is the latter, it can be trained to be used as a falcon, and even if it cannot hunt, it can be warned.
Of course, it's too early to say this now, Shao Xuan still doesn't know what the potential of this bird is. If there is no meaning in existence, other people will kill it without Shao Xuan's action. After all, it is not Caesar. Caesar was listed by the witch when he was a child. Even if he lost his wolf nature, no one dared to fight him in the tribe.
There is an ice cave in the tribe, just near the top of the mountain, where many people keep unsalted food, but they have to hand in part of it as a reward.
Shao Xuan also put some meat in the ice cave. It is impossible for him to marinate all the animal meat he brings back every time. Caesar does not like to eat marinated meat. Lao Ke often eats that kind of food. Now that there are more birds, we can't give them all cured meat, can we
"It's really troublesome!" Shao Xuan sighed. He could just throw the little chick away, or use it as food for Caesar, but he always felt that he should try to keep it.
Three days later, the little chick opened its eyes.
This was much earlier than Shao Xuan expected. Originally, he thought that this bird, like many birds he had seen in his previous life, would take seven to ten days to open his eyes. He also had a little more hair on his body, but he couldn't walk yet. When he was hungry, he would bark there and open his mouth, for fear that people could not see or hear.
Shao Xuan has been grinding stone tools at his home for the past three days. Shao Xuan now has some basic grinding tools, so ordinary stone tools can be completed at home. Lao Ke came over occasionally to have a look. He asked Shao Xuan to rest for a few days, and by the way, he polished some stone tools and went to the training ground to train when he had enough things.
Shao Xuan can fully recover after only one sleep. In the past three days, he has polished a lot of stone tools, some for trapping, some for training, and a batch of more sophisticated ones for the next hunting. He had already planned to go out with Mai and the others next time on the hunt.
"Axuan!" Someone shouted outside the door.
The two people who came over were Tu and Jieba, who were currently managing affairs in the cave. They brought four fish to Shao Xuan. Because Shao Xuan often brought things to the children in the cave, the children in the cave often brought Shao Xuan a few fish caught that day.
Many people never went back after they walked out of the cave. For example, the library in charge of the cave management before Shao Xuan never went back to see it. However, the others who were awakened in the same group as Shao Xuan went back a few times. Whether they wanted to go back to show off their hunting achievements or other purposes, at least they did not directly cut off contact with the people in the cave. Of course, these are all because after Shao Xuan took over the management of the cave, he brought a series of changes to the lives of the children in the cave.
No matter what happened to the other people who came out of the cave, Shao Xuan would give something to the children in the cave every time he came back from hunting. Anyway, he had enough food, and it was okay to distribute it. And the children in the cave are also grateful to Shao Xuan, because of Shao Xuan, their lives have changed a lot, and their bodies are now a lot healthier.
Shao Xuan did not reject their kindness, and it was rare for the two to drag the fish over. Although for the current Shao Xuan, fish can't provide much energy, but it is still possible to improve his appetite.
Every time Jieba and Tu came over, their eyes were filled with envy. It's really good to be a totem warrior. Having your own wooden house, you can hunt to get more food, and grow up fast. Before Shao Xuan was not as tall as them, it took a long time for him to wake up, and he stuttered the biggest person in the cave.
"Don't be envious, maybe it will come to you next year." Shao Xuan brought them a small piece of marinated animal meat, "It's still the old rule, everyone in the cave eats a little bit, don't eat too much, you will die if you eat too much. of."
Every time Shao Xuan gave them the lowest-grade animal meat, they couldn't bear the high-grade meat, and they didn't have much weight, so they couldn't absorb more. In the past, the jerky that Mai and Lang Ga gave to Shao Xuan were also of a slightly lower grade. As for the level of the four-toothed wild boar or the thorny black wind, the children in the cave could not let them touch it. Shao Xuan didn't know about it before, but when he learned about the relationship, he strictly controlled the quality and quantity of meat sent.
After Zhiba and Tu left, Shao Xuan brought a fish, and after slaughtering it, he tore off some of the meat and put it in front of the little chick. Just now, the bird's beak has grown big, and the fish meat is tightly closed after it is placed in front of it. Replaced it with animal meat, and continued to open his mouth and swallow fiercely.
"It's a slap in the face!" Shao Xuan scolded.
Carrying the fish, Shao Xuan looked at Caesar lying on the side.
Looking at Shao Xuan's eyes, and looking at the fish that Shao Xuan was carrying, Caesar turned the wolf's head to one side, but didn't look at Shao Xuan, nor did he look at the fish in Shao Xuan's hand.
"Ma's, you're so rude!"
Originally, I wanted to feed the birds with fish meat, but now it seems that the fish are disliked by these two goods.
On the seventh day, Shao Xuan had already prepared the tools for polishing, and planned to go to the training ground with Lao Ke. After thinking about it, Shao Xuan decided to bring the bird with him, otherwise he might do something better. What.
This little bird grows very fast, and it looks the same every day. Shao Xuan guesses whether it is because this place is special, so the birds grow fast. Its vitality is also tenacious. Shao Xuan has no experience in raising birds and is not so careful, but this animal has grown up healthy, even if he eats a lot every day, he will chirp again after sleeping for a long time.
Now this bird often doesn't stay in the nest. If Shao Xuan doesn't pay attention, it will come out of the grass nest that Shao Xuan made for him, and then climb to the edge of the table. If Caesar is found lying beside the table, he will Rolled straight down from there and landed on the wolf's back, causing Caesar to bark in anger. Nearly killed him several times under the claws of the wolf.
Thanks to Caesar's obedience, he knew that Shao Xuan would not let it hurt the bird, so he endured it, otherwise he would have eaten it as a snack.
Shao Xuan felt that this bird was not only tenacious, but also very courageous. It only took a few days to directly peck at Caesar's wolf nose. Even though this bird was still a chick, the pecking force was very strong, and Shao Xuan pinched it. There are already many peck marks on the stick of meat. Not afraid to fall on the wolf's back, he continued to peck, and Caesar's wolf hair was pulled out a few times. I don't know if it's really bold, or if there's a string in my head. He was kicked off several times by Caesar, but nothing happened. Next time, he would continue to make a fuss.
The little chick was too noisy and kept chatting all day long. Shao Xuan directly named it "chatter".
On the tenth day, the brown fur on Chacha's body grew denser and thicker, and he could stand up and move around, but he fell to the ground when he walked too fast, which was not stable.
Shao Xuan, like the previous days, brought Chacha and Caesar to find Lao Ke first, and then went to the training ground together.
When Shao Xuan was training, Lao Ke was watching from not far away, and he was watching. The old man liked to play birds with stone worms recently.
Chacha doesn't eat stone worms, but it likes to peck and play. Lao Ke swayed in front of it with the stone worm sandwiched between branches. Chacha would stretch the bird's neck and lift its wings, which were not strong enough, to enter a fighting state, and then slammed violently. Rush up and peck. Before long, the stone worm that Lao Ke was holding was pecked to pieces.
After Shao Xuan broke through a round of trap bombing, he came to rest, saw the pecked stone worm held by Lao Ke, and said with a smile: "It's too aggressive, it's probably a fighter jet, and he thinks about everything he sees. Go and fight." But it's better to be brutal, and it won't starve to death immediately if it flies out, unless it kills itself.
"Battle chicken?" Lao Ke was stunned for a while, and then smiled, "This name is not bad, it will definitely be better than those chickens with beautiful tails in the mountains in the future!"
Shao Xuan recalled the ostrich-like pheasants in the mountains and forests. If the pheasants in the mountains and forests grew up and attacked people, they would not be able to stay in the tribe. Either slaughtered or thrown far away, the Horde would not allow such a creature to exist within.
No matter whether it is chicken-like or eagle-like in the future, it should be well-trained.
When returning in the afternoon, Shao Xuan met Tuo who was on duty in the patrol team.
"Just right, I plan to have someone give you a message. I didn't expect to meet you here." Tuo said, "Wu asked you to go up the mountain tomorrow."
"Got it, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow."
"There are good things." Tuo whispered, and gave Shao Xuan a "you know" look.
The so-called "good things" were probably about the green thief, Shao Xuan understood in his heart, thanked him, and left.
When walking back, Shao Xuan opened the animal skin bag and looked at the bird that seemed to be dozing again, thinking about whether to take it up the mountain tomorrow.
