Chapter 100 Love and Kill each other
After a group of hired workers left, the kiln factory left a row of simple thatched huts.
Although it is no longer useful, Xu Chen did not intend to remove it. Instead, he re-reinforced it with stone bricks and built it into a room where the stables and a group of monkeys lived.
It is said that it is better to raise horses and monkeys together, so he decided to give it a try.
Originally, I planned to raise the pony in the courtyard, but the side yard where the plan to raise cattle, horses, pigs and sheep has not been repaired yet, so I had to give up for the time being.
The monkeys were still divided into two groups, one in the kiln factory, and the remaining few weak monkeys that had been fed for a period of time were tied to the courtyard.
These monkeys on the mountain are relatively docile, and Xu Chen has more time to train and can understand some simple commands. However, the group of monkeys in the kiln factory are all strong young male monkeys. Except for the monkey leader who was killed on the spot by a group of manic savages on the day they were caught, the remaining monkeys were scared and very scared of humans. But occasionally there will be fights because of robbing food or other things. Xu Chen is worried that he will hurt women and children, so he decided to keep them separately.
The two little wolves had grown to seven or eight pounds, and their fur was ridged all over, and they began to break away from the state of cute cubs and develop towards the wild wolf.
But after living with humans for a few months, the two little wolves have low malice and vigilance towards humans. Apart from not obeying the commands and being stubborn, they have no big resistance to various human grains and foods. However, every time the hunting team brings back the prey that is still dripping blood, they will always rush around and grin and make beast-like roars. The deep bloodlines reveal the appetite for flesh and blood and the ferocity of the beasts.
However, Xu Chen had already reminded all the tribe members that they should not give the two little wolves raw and cold-blooded food at any time, and all the tribe members strictly followed it. Therefore, at present, the two little wolves had never eaten the raw and cold flesh and blood.
Wolves and humans are not in dealing with each other, but they are not in dealing with a monkey.
Not only did the monkey group almost ravage the two little wolves to death last time when they attacked the cave, the group of monkeys caught were even more unfriendly to the two wolf cubs. They would attack them as soon as they saw them, just like the meeting of enemies from the ninth generation.
Since a group of monkeys were raised on the mountain, the cave has become much more lively. You can hear the little wolf roaring and the figures of monkeys jumping up and down all day long.
As long as there is a chance of getting close, biting and fighting will inevitably occur. Sometimes a group of men are bored after eating and drinking, and they will deliberately tie the little wolf and monkey together to see them fight to gain primitive and low-level happiness.
Every time this kind of fight, the little wolf is always bullied. He is bitten by monkeys and wails around and hides everywhere. He really can't escape, so he drills into the legs of the crowd. Monkeys dare to bully the little wolf, but never dares to attack humans. Therefore, every time he sees the little wolf hiding under the legs of humans, he can only squeak and threaten them, and then stop.
After a while, the little wolf slowly felt a security from humans and his sense of closeness to humans has become stronger. Now he has gradually stopped human touching, at least not like before. Before he got close, he grinned his sharp fangs and threatened.
This phenomenon also surprised Xu Chen.
The so-called gangsters marry shrews, and one thing is to defeat another.
A group of monkeys who completely admit defeat in front of humans made two little wolves who always regard humans as enemies begin to admit defeat.
This was definitely an unexpected gain for Xu Chen.
As long as this continues, the changes of the two little wolves will become greater and greater, and the possibility of successful domestication will naturally become greater and greater.
However, as the two little wolves grow up slowly and their strength continues to increase, they will inevitably have more severe conflicts with a group of monkeys in the future.
I was bullied when I was a child, but I must bully you when I grow up.
When Xu Chen thought about the noise and chaotic scenes of wolves running around in the yard and monkeys jumping, he could not help but make a few big shivering battles.
The scene was so sour and so cool that I didn't dare to think too much about it.
Later generations have always said that monkeys and dogs are born enemies and they must be done when they meet.
Is it because this violent conflict began when humans tamed monkeys and dogs in ancient times?
Xu Chen didn't know.
But the situation in front of him surprised and happy, loved and hated him, and he didn't care about his future development for the time being.
At the entrance and exit of the courtyard gate, Xu Chen built a new wolf den at the foot of the wall on the left side of the entrance. Opposite the wolf den is the monkey cage.
The two hereditary enemy groups moved from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, but still could only fall in love and kill each other as neighbors.
However, in order to prevent the two ethnic groups from having an inexorable battle, the ropes tied are much shorter, and they can threaten each other at most half a meter apart.
After settling down the two groups of beasts, Xu Chen set his eyes on the empty space in the middle of the courtyard, which was larger than the standard basketball court.
After the burning and cleaning up the wasteland, the open space was covered with a layer of carbon ash.
And there is also a large pile of ashes left after the bonfire dinner in the center.
Although I have cleaned up twice, I still have a lot of potholes, including many discarded stones, broken bricks, dry mud, wooden sticks and grass chips.
This yard will be the main venue for tribe members to work and rest on weekdays and dry food and clothing, so it needs to be planned and arranged carefully.
When living in the cave, the surroundings were ventilated and the surroundings were covered with ancient vines hanging above the entrance, swallows built nests, and trees were nearby the entrance, and there was also a spring next to it. Although the area was relatively narrow, it was filled with birds singing and flowers, which was naturally harmonious. Especially in summer, the surrounding trees were covered with thick shade, and the cave looked very cool.
However, after moving to the foot of the mountain, although the site was open and the living environment and living conditions had undergone earth-shaking changes, the comfort of the affinity and nature has decreased a lot.
There is no big tree in front, back, left and right of the courtyard of this house. There is only a forest at the foot of the mountain dozens of meters away from behind, but the trees are not particularly large.
By summer, the whole courtyard will definitely be very sunny.
Although the house can be shaded and shrouded, for primitive people who are used to living on the ground and working outdoors, they are definitely not used to it.
Just like the countryside that Xu Chen was familiar with when he was a child.
No matter how hot the summer is, the villagers don’t like to stay at home. Instead, they gather under a few big trees by the river at the entrance of the village, shrouded in the thick shade of trees, blowing the hot summer wind, chatting while working, having fun and endless fun.
This habit in rural areas is passed down from ancient times, probably starting from primitive people.
Because Xu Chen had never seen men and women from the tribe do work in the cave.
A cave is a place to sleep and store supplies.
All activities are outside the cave.
Even in the cold winter, they would sprinkle threads and weave cloth around the fire pit at the entrance of the cave, chatting and joking.
As for a group of men, they rarely stayed around the fire pit, almost all working in the open space outside the cave entrance and on the edge of the woods.
Therefore, facing the entire courtyard where there is nothing but a house, Xu Chen felt it was necessary to carry out some greening work and make some long-term plans for the life of the tribe members here.
In this era, there are not many people, and there are many other plants and animals.
It is too easy to plant flowers, plants and trees, and it is everywhere when you go out.
However, Xu Chen didn't want to dig a few trees randomly and plant them.
In addition to shade, beauty and practicality are also important, so he decided to search on the mountain.
So he took Gu He and two close followers to carry wooden hoes, stone hoes and dig trees up the mountain.
From a practical point of view, the bigger the transplanted tree, the better. After planting, the trees will be shaded soon in summer.
