The continuous rain was just a good rest time for Yunchuanbu, but it was a disaster for Xuanyuanbu.
All the things Yun Chuan tried to do have only one purpose, that is, to have enough food for the family and not to panic.
The Xuanyuan Department does not have overnight food, and eats whatever they get every day. This habit has lasted for many, many years.
At the beginning, Xuanyuan thought that as long as the population increased, there would naturally be a surplus in the tribe.
Unfortunately, his idea was wrong. Without changing the production structure, more people means more mouths to eat.
A large number of people means that they are out of production and more people participate in management. This difference alone can eat up the production surplus of the tribal people, and it is not enough.
Hunting is a great way to get food.
However, for a long period of time after the hunting, the hunters could not think of catching much more prey, so the hunting was just a result of eating more than enough food, or even worse.
In order to solve the food crisis of the tribe, Xuanyuan had to leave the tribe with the most elite fighters to hunt large prey in the upper reaches of the distant river.
Big game here refers to takin, bison, elk, woolly rhino, and elephant.
A takin weighs at least 800 catties, and the fattest elk can weigh as much. The woolly rhino weighs one ton, and the elephant weighs three tons. Although there are heavier ones, they are not something humans can afford to provoke.
After half a month, Xuanyuan's harvest was not bad. Three takins, two bison, five big-horned deer, and one woolly rhino were enough to feed the core tribes for a few days.
However, Xuanyuan was not satisfied. He wanted to take advantage of the warm weather and the elephants had no chance to leave here to go to the warmer lower reaches of the river. He planned to capture a few elephants. good.
There is a huge grassland area in the upper reaches of the river, which is the only way for elephants to return from the mountains.
If you want to catch an elephant, there is no other way but to dig a trap. As far as the thick skin of the elephant is concerned, except for bronze and iron tools from Kumokawabe, bamboo spears, and wooden spears, unless you hit the elephant The eyes, dung doors, and genitals are fragile places, otherwise, for elephants, they are like tickling.
The grass on the grassland is still green, but the distant mountains are already a little cold. Standing on the grassland, you can see that the distant mountains have turned slightly gray.
Li Mu and Feng Hou stood in the rain and looked at their leader. Neither of them had fully healed their injuries, especially Li Mu, who lost half of his tongue, and it was in his mouth. The hot spring didn't have much effect, so it could only be healed slowly, but the burns on Fenghou's body were different. After soaking in the hot spring, scabs had formed, and the whole person looked like he had leprosy.
Since the First Battle of the River Bend, these two people have been inseparable from Xuanyuan, and Xuanyuan didn't deliberately avoid them, but took them by his side regardless of their injuries.
Digging traps on the only way for elephants is an extremely complicated job. They have been digging a hole for three days. Go alone to piss off the elephants and attract the elephants.
Under normal circumstances, people who want to provoke and attract elephants will be trampled into human skin by elephants, because, on the grasslands, elephants are not slow to run.
? To capture an elephant, not only do you need to anger the elephant, but you also need to wait for someone to attract the head elephant, and then send people to beat drums from three directions to drive the herd of elephants to follow the head elephant to the direction of the trap.
After the trap was set, Xuanyuan looked at the elephants in the distance and said: "This time I will provoke the elephants."
When Li Mu and Fenghou wanted to stop them, Xuanyuan said: "Yun Chuan said that I am not a good person, but a patriarch who stepped on the bones of his clansmen and drank the blood of his clansmen and committed misdeeds. Today, I will go, and you take care of others."
Fenghou said: "No matter how powerful Yunchuan is, hasn't his rice been burned by us?"
Xuanyuan glanced at Li Mu, seeing that Li Mu avoided his gaze, he sighed and said, "We didn't do it."
"It's impossible. I saw the fire with my own eyes. They couldn't put out such a big fire. The rice must have been burned."
Xuanyuan shook his head and said, "The rice must not have been burned, don't you think so, Li Mu?"
Li Mu nodded.
Feng Hou murmured: "I saw the fire started."
Li Mu squatted down, first scraped off the seeds of a small piece of weeds, and then drew out a piece of grass in the middle of the weeds.nbsp; The spear pierced the elephant's thin skin accurately, pierced through the neck all the way, and finally pierced through the back of the neck.
The baby elephant fell silently at the feet of the mother elephant. The mother elephant pulled the baby elephant with her trunk, and there was a big pool of blood on the ground
"Doo-toot¡ª¡ª" The mother elephant who had lost her cub rushed out first, and Xuanyuan ran away. Soon, all the elephants chased after Xuanyuan.
"Hahaha" Xuanyuan ran all the way, laughing all the way, only when the whole elephant herd ran over, the tribe could gain more.
Xuanyuan ran swiftly in front like the wind, the ground was shaken by the herd of elephants chasing after him, and in the distance, a woolly rhinoceros rushed straight towards a boulder.
Xuanyuan jumped over a dead log, which was quickly smashed to pieces by the elephants. Xuanyuan passed through a bush, and the bush was soon trampled to the ground by the elephants.
Xuanyuan ran up a hill, and the elephants caught up with the hill without showing any weakness. Xuanyuan ran down from the hill at high speed, and when he passed a signal stone, he jumped up, and his body drew a beautiful arc in mid-air Landed in a sand trap.
Then, he turned around and faced the herd of elephants rushing down the hills, without fear.
