I'm doing shopping in the original

In the middle of the night, Qi Ku picked up a fat bird.

Although Qiku's body is weaker than normal men's, and even some stronger women can't compare, but he has a smart mind, is cautious, and is very good at setting traps and small slingshots, so he is also counted as a member of the hunting team , plus it was a man, they were arranged to patrol tonight.

Watching and patrolling are habits that existed before the wooden wall began. The men have always been vigilant and have not completely relaxed, so it is not difficult to pick it up again.

When he picked up the fat bird, he was chatting with Bai Lian and the blue bird to learn how to speak, and by the way made a joke about the blue bird.

Newcomers to the tribe also learn language quickly and slowly. For example, Lili is relatively slow in this aspect. Sometimes it is not even as fast as the bluebird. It is just that the bluebird learns much faster and often makes mistakes. Words make jokes.At night, you only need to pay attention to whether there are wild animals, and you don't need to pay attention to whether there are lurking people attacking. In addition, you just escaped the fire, and everyone's mood is indeed relatively relaxed.

That's how the fat bird flew out of the mid-air unsteadily, fluttering its scorched feathers, and when it seemed to be half-breathed, it landed on its lacquered head and rolled over by the way. on his lap.

"who is it!"

Qiku reacted quickly, but the weight of the fat bird was faster, so just as he finished his sentence, he saw a fat bird falling from the sky. The beating on the head just now was probably its masterpiece, and his bright smile froze all of a sudden. face.

On the other hand, Bai Lian and the blue bird who had been buried all the time collapsed laughing without shame.

But laughing, the three of them still studied this fat bird that attacked Qiku very seriously. It was not too big. The suicide chicken they caught before was about the size of a medium-sized dog. Except for its bulging belly, this fat bird is basically the size of a large parrot. Its face is like a cockatoo with two round blushes. Its feathers are white and gray with beautiful feather spots. A lot has been burned for a while.

"Isn't it too small?" Bai Lian poked the comatose fat bird's stomach, and sighed thoughtfully, "It's not enough to fit between the teeth."

"Very fat." Blue Bird misunderstood Xiao's meaning, and he also touched the swollen belly with Bai Lian's hand. He felt that it was quite elastic, and the feathers were also very suitable for making arrows. There is no tenderness for lovely things, only vicious greed and ridicule that have not completely faded away,

Untamed birds and beasts have always been extremely wild, and it is no exception after being injured. The fat bird opened its eyes not long after, staggered and stood on Qiku's hand and tried to balance its body. It hadn't fully recovered and was dizzy. It suddenly flew to the ground, the feathers on its wings were scorched a lot, it couldn't fly much, and soon fell to the ground, flying dust, and screamed in a panic.

"It was burned by fire." Qi Ku picked it up again, touched the wings of the injured fat bird like a bunny, pinched it up and looked at it, wondering if the fat bird lost its strength or was really injured He was so heavy that he was hugged by Qi Ku in his arms and stroked his wings extremely docilely.

The other two probed their heads and saw that the feathers had been burned a lot, but the feathers were dense and layered, and it was not so obvious in the dark night. Under the firelight, it was almost like a Mediterranean fat bird.

"It doesn't seem to be able to fly."

Qiku thought about it.

Bai Lian guessed, "Are you hungry? You didn't have enough to eat, so you flew and fell."

"It's so fat, it's full." Blue Bird shook his head, disapproving, "Did it get shot down by a dead star?"

The other two couldn't help but look at the blue bird in horror. The long night is long and needs to be patrolled. Everyone has no mood to sleep, and there is little entertainment.

After all, if you hit a bird, you might as well hit them.

Qi Ku thought carefully for a while, and finally denied the blue bird's guess rationally and cautiously. He spread the fat bird's wings, carefully looked at the incomplete feathers and white spots on it, and said seriously, "It was not smashed by a star, It should have been burned by the fire, or the smoke came from the fire."

When raising free-range chickens before, everyone used to tie it up firmly in the way of raising rabbits, but unfortunately it committed suicide and died. Everyone felt that this kind of thing could not be kept alive. Originally, it just ran around on the ground at most low altitude I can't raise a skating one, let alone a flying one, I'm afraid they will run away if they are fed.

Since it wasn't killed by Xing Xing, the sense of mystery brought by the fat bird dissipated in an instant, and both Bai Lian and Lan Bird became murderous.

The blue bird said uninterestedly, "Can we eat it? Or leave it to the leader and the witch."

"Too young, pay them." Bai Lian also said thoughtfully.

Qi Ku shook his head again, carefully inspected the fat bird's wings for a while, and said slowly, "Bai Lian, blue bird, look at its feathers."

"What's the matter?" Bai Lian deliberately leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help sighing, "It's so burned that we can't even make arrows, how could such a useless fat bird fall on our heads ?”

The blue bird thought about it, and he asked, "Qiku, is there something wrong with its feathers?"

No matter what people do with feathers these days, the method of obtaining feathers is very simple. After killing the bird, pluck it out, and then heat the water to pluck the feathers, and dry the wet feathers. After using it, it is considered a difficult and precious consumable item to obtain.

That's why Bluebird asked this question.

"When it just flew up." Qi Ku paused, grabbed the fat bird's wings and flapped it twice. Although the scene was ridiculous, he said quite seriously, "It's like this."

"Yes." Bai Lian didn't take it seriously, he hadn't grasped the point, "This is how birds fly, otherwise how would they fly?"

Qi Ku shook his head and said, "No, ordinary birds can't fly like this, it can't fly."

This time Bai Lian finally came to his senses. He changed his previous indifferent attitude and looked at the little fat bird whose eyes were about to shine. He touched its burnt wings tremblingly and said in shock, "Qiku, you It means that it is not that it is injured and cannot fly, but that its feathers are gone, so it cannot fly?"

"Yes." Qi Ku nodded and said, "But it's just what I think, maybe not, we raise it, if it flies away, it's wrong; if it wakes up and can't fly, we can raise one Bird, see if it will die? As long as it does not die, there may be eggs to eat, it is very small, but eggs can cook a lot of soup."

Eggs are a very precious resource at this time. The chances of picking up teal eggs in the aquatic plants are very small. Once the nest is found to be stolen, basically the birds will not stay in that place anymore.There are very few non-flying birds, and most of the flying ones lay their eggs on the highest places of forests or cliffs. Except for birds devouring each other, there are also pythons sneaking up on some forests, so there is no more danger.

If the danger is high, some birds will leave the nest with their parents immediately after hatching.

Therefore, most of the time, not only can people not find the eggs, but even if they find them, it is difficult to get the eggs.

Bai Lian was not as observant as Qi Ku, but his thinking was deeper than Qi Ku's. If the experiment with this bird was successful, then all the birds caught in the future would not need to be killed, but could be prevented from flying by burning their feathers.Just like rabbits, there will always be a few birds that are more docile, easy to get close to, and will not hunt for death. After a while, they can lay many, many eggs and give birth to many, many cubs.

Just thinking about it, Bai Lian's saliva is about to drop.

Compared with children and pregnant women, men rarely have the opportunity to eat eggs. Bai Lian has only drank egg soup once in his life, and he still remembers the smooth taste.Eating meat is to ensure nutrition, and eating fruit is to ensure survival. The salty, fishy, ​​sweet and sour taste of fruits is a kind of taste, and the texture of eggs is also the same.

Bai Lian really likes that kind of taste, but he didn't dare to expect it before. Now that he has the opportunity, he certainly won't miss it.

Besides, although this bird is chubby, it is not big enough to eat enough, so it is just right for the experiment, even if it fails, it will not be too sad.

And the nervous and slow blue bird finally digested their conversation, tilted his head blankly and asked, "Then... shall we build a nest for it?"

Bai Lian and Qi Ku looked at the blue bird together.

Blue Bird subconsciously swallowed the sentence "Ajie save me", and said timidly, "Am I wrong?"

"That's right." Qi Ku praised, "Let's find some grass."

The excited three people just stood up and prepared to work, and then they saw the bare hillside and the gleaming salt grains, and a gust of cold wind blew by, and they sat down again silently.

Bai Lian said quietly, "That's it, Qiku, otherwise you'd better hold it, it doesn't struggle anyway, I don't think it's necessary to build a nest for it."

Blue Bird nodded silently.

"What if it catches me." Qi Ku said sadly, "You put it simply, it may have fainted now, what if it wakes up?"

None of you have ever been scratched by birds or animals, but it is one thing to be injured while hunting, and another thing to be scratched by a fat injured bird.The three of them had no choice, they all sat down with sympathy and thought for a long time, and the fat bird they had high hopes for had already fallen asleep in Qiku's arms, but they didn't even know whether the other was a female or not. have no idea.

"Anyway."

Finally Qi Ku decided, "Let's raise it first, and find something to eat for it?"

Bai Lian thought for a moment and said, "Eat, let's wait until dawn to ask the leader to see what she thinks, or ask Wu again, maybe Wu knows if we can do this?"

Bluebird dropped out of the conversation due to language pool data scarcity.

As a result, the night watch trio fell asleep until noon after changing shifts. Fortunately, the fat bird was not crushed to death by Qiku, but was nestled in his arms very docilely, appearing very honest, lying on its stomach Sometimes it didn't even make other people see anything strange.

In the past, when the men kept watch at night, everyone first discussed who would partner with whom. Most of them would only rest and change shifts in the middle of the night, so that they could not delay the hunting during the day.Fortunately, they eat early and go to bed early, and they don't have any recreational activities. They live their lives according to the length of the day. Sometimes it is enough to sleep only half the night, and they are not too sleepy.

But this time when they moved to the lagoon, there were a lot of escaped prey in the forest. In addition, they had their own dried food, so the resources in this area were quite sufficient. In addition, there were no barriers like caves and wooden walls nearby. Let the guards stay on guard all night and sleep more during the day.

The trio still got up smelling the aroma of food placed outside their grass nest.

Fat Bird had regained some energy at this time, probably hungry, and stayed in the animal skin on the lacquered chest, chirping and screaming, the sound was not too loud.

Qi Ku took a few sips of the broth, then folded two thin sticks from the straw nest and used them as chopsticks to feed the meat to the fat bird. It chirped, and the shredded meat disappeared on the stick with the bird's beak. , He specially learned Uro with this hand. People in the tribe have learned it more or less, but they are not fully used to it. Most people are still accustomed to using their hands, which is more convenient and quicker, unless they want to eat in hot soup.

Blue Bird and Bai Lian were very kind and shared some of their own food. After all, if a bird lays eggs, those eggs will be shared and eaten by the tribe.

It's just that the meat is the same meat, but the fat bird only eats the meat that Qiku feeds it, and it's very dismissive of the blue bird and Bai Lian.

Although the three of them noticed this situation, they didn't pay much attention to it, let alone the serious consequences that this problem would bring.Bai Lian was just surprised that Qi Ku could be liked by birds, so he held the bowl and leaned over to take a closer look at his face, almost not being scratched by Fat Bird, and subconsciously avoided it, then said with lingering fear, "Qi Ku, you look so good. Not like a bird man?"

Qi Ku couldn't help touching his face when he heard the words, but he couldn't fully comprehend the meaning, and asked hesitantly, "Bird man? Do I have feathers on my face?"

"Yeah, it's weird." Blue Bird joined the battle immediately, drinking the broth and replied, "This fat bird only eats dry meat."

Although Qi Ku understood what he meant, he still felt chills when he heard it, and couldn't help rubbing his goosebumps. He was indeed weak, but he wasn't at the point of being pecked by a bird. This fat bird couldn't fly, it could only He flapped his wings feebly on his arm, trying to attack Bailian and the blue bird, but was caught in the arms of Qiku who couldn't be bothered, like a captured beast, kicking his little paw uneasily.

"Let's go find the witch."

Qiku stuffed the barbecue into his mouth in a couple of strokes, and rubbed his greasy palm on the fat bird's scattered feathers.

At the moment, Wu Luo is telling Jie and a few others to check the size of the fire. The mountain fire came suddenly, and the meteorite was a disaster without any reason. The size of the fire will affect whether they have to leave early to find a new place to live, or they can survive a few days. back home.Many animals have fled these days. Even if the wildfires are extinguished, if the ecological chain is completely broken and it is difficult to grow again, then a new living environment must be considered.

In other words, it really expands the scope of hunting.

Thinking of this incident made Uro feel slightly depressed. This indiscriminate disaster can be called a disaster or an opportunity. They can take this opportunity to expand their area recklessly without the trouble of clearing trees.It's a pity that the owner of the wilderness is still missing, and his only child is playing carefree with two mounts. Uro has not yet figured out how to deal with him.

If Yan is dead, it is natural to take over his territory, but correspondingly, they will start making weapons to deal with other tribes.

Whether it was the Lianshan tribe, or the tribe that tried to understand them secretly, they were all intimidated by Yan's own majesty and were safe for the time being.Once the transaction starts again next year, or the two tribes discover the truth of the matter on a whim, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the future.

And if Yan is not dead, whether he is injured, or whether he can be rescued, whether he can still fight, how to maximize the benefits after finding him is also a headache.

People, no matter how hard they struggle, live their lives according to the face of nature.

"It's always been fate." Wu Luo couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. He didn't think that apart from modern society and martial arts novels, there would be such difficulties in such a primitive environment. It can be seen that life is difficult, no matter what he does Whether he is 80 years old or [-] years old, whether he has nothing or a lot of money, there will always be constant difficulties looking for opportunities to come quietly.

The trio heard the voices talking inside when they were outside, and half understood, half understood, so they patiently waited outside, carrying a half-sized fat bird, like three huge human-shaped stakes.Someone passed by and saw them, looked at the bird and then at them strangely, and thought it was daylight, and was going to ask the witch for some medicine.

When Jie came out, she happened to bump into the trio of bird catchers, and she smiled at the blue bird with ease, fascinated the other party's three souls, and almost followed the object's buttocks.Even though Bai Lian and Qi Ku didn't know what eating dog food meant, they subconsciously showed disgust towards the two who were dating.

"Are you here to find the witch?"

Jie was originally tall and long-legged, but now she puts her hands on her waist and stares at the three of them, which has a different style. Unfortunately, apart from the blue bird with love bubbles in its eyes, the other two care more about their eggs. He nodded honestly and said, "Yes, I caught a fat bird yesterday, and it seems that it can't fly."

"Oh." Jie had indeed heard the corresponding news, and knew that Wu had always wanted to raise something, so she let it go, "Then you go, I'm going to work too."

Blue Bird looked at Jie, and subconsciously called out, "Jie, let's have dinner together."

"Okay." Jie turned around and smiled at him without being too surprised, "I'll be back before dark."

People in the tribe have never concretized such things as love. Of course, Jie had paired up with other men in the tribe before and had several children, but at this time men always die faster than women. The man in the house died a long time ago, and there is no one to match with after that. This is also the reason why she will go out in spring and meet Bluebird during the transaction.

No matter how dull a person is, he can perceive the good and bad of feelings, know that his instinct is to stay close to good and stay away from evil. Without pretense, it is good to make oneself feel comfortable, and it is bad to make oneself feel pain.Jie has never felt love, she just likes how Blue Bird treats herself like this, as if she is not a gust of wind, not completely carefree, and someone who cares about herself for no reason.

"Strange." Bai Lian tilted her head, wondering, "Why doesn't Jie talk to us like that?"

Blue Bird stroked Fat Bird in a good mood, and walked inside humming, "She is my Jie."

Bai Lian let out a "huh", feeling a little strange, but he couldn't refute it. Jie's attitude towards them was indeed different, not just as simple as a companion, but he didn't know how to describe this difference. Reluctantly Jie also greeted them with a smile.Besides, it's not that Jie didn't smile at them, but she didn't smile like that at Blue Bird.

mine.

This word sounds more like food, or what the tribe would say, Bai Lian shook his head helplessly, so he had to attribute this abnormal situation to the different rules caused by their different tribes, or another word used by the blue bird improper.

"Stand at the door and don't come in, are you waiting for me to invite you to dinner?" Uro's voice sounded from inside, the thatched hut was narrow, and there were no candles, even though it was the witch's residence, he could barely light a bonfire in a clay pot , rough woven hemp mats were spread on the ground, and the silver-white box was placed on the ground, which seemed to be shining brightly as if it could emit light.

The three squeezed into the narrow grass nest, and said respectfully, "Witch."

"Why, holding such a bird to see me?"

Fortunately, Wu Luo's eyesight is pretty good, and he can see the items in Qi Ku's arms clearly in a semi-enclosed environment. Last night, he gave Chen and Hu Po a half-night astronomy class, and he was so sleepy. I didn't really wake up until two hours ago, and after I ate something, I started to think about the future development plan, and told Jie and the others what they were going to do today.

"Let's go out and talk." Uro took off his glasses and rubbed his brows. He was really not used to such dark light. There were enough bonfires in the cave before, and enough light was guaranteed by the glass in the house. It's strange that I'm not used to the nest.

The three of them had just entered the grass nest and then had to go out. When they went out, they looked at each other, not knowing why they had to go in.

"Are you three door gods?" Uro's dissatisfied voice sounded from behind, darker and more terrifying than the fire, "What are you trying to do by blocking the door?"

The three immediately got out of the way, giving Wu Tong a road where the crabs could walk sideways.

"How?" Uro sighed helplessly. He had just extinguished the fire. The previous mountain fire was too shocking. He didn't want to burn all his grass nests. Natural disasters are troublesome enough and can't be avoided. Just try to avoid, "The three of you brought a bird to me, do you want to ask how not to be eaten by wolves at night, or do you think you have a talent for acting and want to be the protagonist of the next tea party, replacing Le and Yu?"

"Ah—?" Bluebird said sincerely, "Wu, speak quickly, or I will understand."

Uro, "Blue Bird, I advise you to shut up,...or sooner or later, my blood pressure will rise and I will need to take antihypertensive drugs, and you will not be able to pay the medical expenses at that time."

Bluebird "???"

"Forget it, come on—I think it must have something to do with this fat bird who can't fill his teeth enough."
