...

As spring flowers bloom, the green grass on the river beach is slowly flourishing.

A large number of wild beasts began to appear in groups on the river beach again.

Wild horses, wild deer, wild sheep, wild boar, rabbit, and many strange herbivores that they don’t know at all. They spend their days foraging and running on the river beach, making them leisurely and lively.

The water of the river gradually became abundant, and the clear stream began to fill the river beach. In the gurgling flow, various fish began to move up the water from the river, attracting a large number of birds flying and playing on the river beach, hovering and confronting.

Men started group hunting activities, and wild animals in spring were difficult to capture because this was the breeding period of female animals. The male animals were very vigilant. As long as there was a slight movement, they would take the tribe away. When encountering female animals in pregnancy and childbirth, hunters generally would not take action. This is an ancient hunting habit.

They will follow this habit and try not to hunt pregnant mothers and newly born small animals.

In this way, the traditional hunting method will bring less rewards.

However, unexpected surprises will occasionally appear.

Especially on the big river beach outside the valley entrance, because there are the most wild animals there, when animals in the estrus compete for mating rights or for leadership, more severe conflicts often break out.

In the past, because the Ba tribe was too weak, a large group of wild wolves occupied the river beach, which almost all the Ba tribe's territory was compressed into the valley. But this year is different. Since the group of wild wolves suffered heavy damage and escaped, the large river beach with abundant water and grass at the entrance of the valley has become the exclusive hunting territory of the Ba tribe.

Feng and a group of people not only fished there, but also successfully picked up bargains twice in a row.

Once I encountered an injured wild deer, and once I encountered a wild sheep that was knocked out.

However, this kind of opportunity is not often present, which makes it significantly less likely to eat meat in spring than in autumn. In addition, the remaining oatmeal and beans and other grains were taken as seeds by Xu Chen, which led to a shortage of food in the Ba people. A group of women had to increase the collection of various wild vegetables to supplement food.

Although it is not suitable for early spring, it is the most scarce time of food every year.

But spring is also the most tender season for a large number of wild vegetables.

Pearlslane, shepherd's purse, wild onions, leeks, and many young plants that Xu Chen didn't know at all. Anyway, women would come back every day and cook them into porridge with some crushed rhizomes and fruits. In addition to the fish caught by men and some other hunting harvests, the entire tribe still kept barely full.

Humans lack food in spring, and wild beasts of all sizes that have lost weight after a winter have also begun to work hard to eat, strengthen their physical strength to prepare for the estrus period of spring and summer. At the same time, the mother beasts must also accumulate enough nutrients and energy for the upcoming childbirth.

Although the weeds on the river beach are prosperous and tender, the weeds grown after burning the wasteland are more plump, tender and sweet. As for the farmland specially cultivated, the green, neat and tender oat bean seedlings and weeds inside make all herbivores covet even more.

Therefore, since the oat bean seedlings and weeds in the farmland began to grow hard, a large number of wild animals have also begun to visit frequently.

"Chenga, horse... horse..."

On that day, Xu Chen was lying on the grass on the river beach to bask in the sun. The pony had time to eat grass next to him. The sun was shining and the wind was bright, which was the most rare leisure day in early spring.

A group of children are playing and running on the river beach full of flowers and plants, chasing wild birds on the river beach.

Gu came from a distance with a bow and arrow, panting, and shouting loudly from a distance.

"Magaha?"

Xu Chen vomited a piece of weed in his mouth and sat up and asked.

"Ma...eat...eat Miaoga!"

Gu ran to Xu Chen and reported the situation of being angry

"Damn!"

When Xu Chen heard this, he immediately got up from the ground, patted his butt and ran towards the farmland.

Didn't notice a few days ago, a few wild deer rushed in and caused many green seedlings. Although they ate more weeds, the places they visited were in a mess. Xu Chen could only hoe them all and then replant them from other places. Although they looked sparse, they were better than empty.

In fact, in addition to wild deer, there are many animals that harm farmland, including rabbits, hedgehogs, pig badgers, wild muntjac and even wild boars.

In order to minimize the losses, he asked Gu Heju to patrol the farmland every day to drive away wild animals.

Although it is quite troublesome, the overall situation is pretty good. Except for the time when I was not careful, I lost about one minute of the land, and the other beasts were dispersed and I could only catch a few bites outside the ridge of the field. The loss was very small, so Xu Chen didn't care too much on weekdays.

At present, in the early stage of the seedlings, as long as it is not caused by large-scale disasters, the losses will not be too great. What really needs to be guarded against is the maturity stage. Whether it is wild animals or birds, they are the enemy of food production, and the hard work of several years of disasters has been wasted.

There is only a group of wild horses in the valley, which are the family of ponies, about thirty horses.

I don’t know if it was because of the pony or for other reasons, this group of wild horses has been entrenched in the valley and has never left. Sometimes when I see the pony living with humans from afar, I will neigh a few times and try to summon the pony back, but I have never succeeded.

The group of horses came and went like the wind, and was very alert. Humans could hardly get close to them. The group of hunters such as the wind had tried several times and gave up completely.

His long and handsome legs and extremely handsome appearance made Xu Chen drool.

Unfortunately, he is not a man who is trapped.

I can only let these long-haired and long-legged Oppa wander around the valley, and then I hope to raise the pony as soon as possible, feed him more aphrodisiac fruits, and seduce a few mares back and set up a few foals to help humans start the era of horse riding.

Because these horses are very vigilant of humans, they almost never get close to courtyards and farmlands, and usually feed far away near river beaches.

But I didn't expect that today I would go to the farmland to cause trouble.

When Xu Chen ran to the edge of the field in one breath, the wild horses were driven away by the wind, but under the mounds near the valley, there was a large area that looked messy, and there were even several long traces of lodging through the middle of the farmland and disappeared along the slope near the river beach.

It seems that the loss is quite large!

Xu Chen's face twitched and headed straight to the scene of the disaster along the ridge of the field. Gu followed behind, and Feng also ran back with a bow and arrow from the direction of the river beach.

The farmland was surrounded by picked stones, which were only more than one foot high. Except for reptiles such as turtles and hedgehogs, it was basically useless and could not even be blocked by rabbits. For medium and large beasts such as wild sheep, wild horses, wild deer, and wild boars, it was similar to not.

This group of wild horses entered the farmland from the foot of the mountain in the direction of the river valley, and caused nearly half acre of land to eat and trample. Then, driven by Feng He Gu, several horses rushed directly from the center of the farmland, causing greater damage.

Xu Chen walked into the farmland and carefully checked the damage.

The most serious thing is that the area near the outside of the ridge is about two or three minutes. All the seedlings and weeds have almost been gnawed. The dense horse's hooves trampled inside, leaving almost no good seedlings.

In addition, there are two or three parts of the fields that are scattered and trampled in chaos, so there is almost no reserved value.

The several lodging belts that were waded through were also severely damaged. Under the heavy horse's hooves, a large number of green seedlings were directly stepped into the soil.

A rough estimate is estimated to be a loss of one acre.

It is still time to replant according to the season, but the tribe has no remaining seeds.

Therefore, the only way is to transplant the seedlings.

Although he was so angry that he was itchy, Xu Chen had no choice.

There has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, but no one to be a thief.

It seems that such intermittent patrols and drives away will still be negligent.

And Xu Chen was also worried that once these wild horses were thinking about this delicious farmland and came to visit several times every now and then, this year's farming plan would probably be completely ruined.

If you don’t get much harvest in autumn or even unable to harvest the seeds, you will encounter great resistance if you want to continue promoting farming next year, and then the little magic and awe that you have finally accumulated will slowly disappear.
