Section 14 Deer Herd

In fact, when he said this, the old priest Wuxing himself was not very sure.

The hunting method used by Tianhao is simply incredible.

This was the case last time, and this time.

Just the day before yesterday, the leader Fusong summoned the hunting captain and went over to him. When he heard Tianhao telling the hunting plan, the old priest felt shocked.

Not only himself, but also Fusong and Yonggang's expressions at that time.

It was a huge plan, which sounded as unreliable as a god showing miracles in public. But even Wu Xing had to admit that Tianhao's plan was full of temptation and irresistible.

Tianfeng felt that his shoulders and chest were not as painful as they were a few days ago. His firm face showed a satisfied smile: "I knew Ahao was not an ordinary person. He has been good at thinking since he was a child."

Tianshuang had already fed a bowl of soup. The old priest covered Tianfeng's skin and patted it slowly with his palm a few times. Without saying anything, he walked out.

A gap appeared in the middle of the thick clouds, and the precious golden sunshine in winter fell. Although it was just a wisp, although it was far from Panshi Village, I don’t know which lucky place was shrouded, but this scene made people feel warm when I saw it.

I want to pray for them and for all those who go out to hunt.

Thinking of this, the old priest returned to his wooden house.

The statue of the god carved on the wood stands by the wall. To be precise, it is just the head of the statue. It is a rectangle symmetrical left and right, and the simple and neat knife method carves outlines on the wooden part. Square eyes, square nose, square lips... At first glance, it is a rough head formed by many careful rectangles piled up, sunken on the surface of a large rectangle, and collocation.

"Great patron saint, please bless your devout believers! We sacrifice to you with black blood and red flames, and offer you the most precious purple gems. You drive away the night, and as long as you exist, the heaven and earth will be as bright as day."

...

Changlin tied a wooden wind whistle to the branch, and gently tweaked the triangle-shaped wooden wings filled with reeds with his fingers. A trace of worry flashed through his slightly tired eyes.

He poked Tian Kuang standing next to him with his elbow: "A Kuang, do you think the thing A Hao asked us to do really work?"

Tian Kuang's appearance fully meets the aesthetic standards of the northern barbarians. His broad shoulders are like a rock, and his low and mute voice sounds full of strength, without any slowness, and is so firm that it is absolutely unquestionable that others doubt: "Of course it works."

Changlin was a little confused: "Why? Have you used it before?"

"I haven't used it." Tian Kuang shook his head. He had his own way of understanding this matter: "This is what my brother did, he is very smart."

Nothing is more convincing to a person who is half hungry than a hearty meal.

Tiankuang had never seen a way to stir-fry the bear meat first and then simmer it on a slow-fire. He had never known that sprinkling a little dry leaves in the broth would make the soup smell fragrant. His memory of food came more from the dead girl. The pot at home was cooking soup day after day, and this work was later handed over to his sister Tianshuang. Sea water was the only seasoning, and salt was not absolutely gone, but the amount was pitifully small. But even such simple and rough food could not make people fill every meal.

When my father was alive, he often kept a word on his lips whenever he ate: "It's almost done, save it until the next meal."

The food is very precious and the annual output is very small. Without hunting income, it will not last until the spring of the next year. On the issue of "hunger", there is no difference between everyone in Panshi Village, even the noble leaders and priests.

Tian Kuang never thought that he could use that simple and convenient method to deal with the violent maned bear.

Maybe I had a few full meals before, but it was too long and my memory was blurred. My brother cooked a lot of bear meat that night and used all three large iron pots at home. Tian Kuang felt happy for the first time and was very supportive.

The lazy brothers who used to be looked down upon have now become wise men and doctors whom Tiankuang believed in.

Changfeng, who had wind whistles tied up on another nearby tree, walked over, and his face was also full of confusion: "According to Ahao, if this time goes well, we will not be hungry all winter, is that true?"

Tiankuang's copper black skin was covered with a layer of oil: "We must believe Ahao. You must know that even the leader and the priest dare not say such things. Almost all the old people in the village have been killed. If this continues, even if we can survive until next spring, there will be few people left in the village."

...

Behind the tall snow pile, Tian Hao bent his body slightly and silently stared at the mountaintop covered with snow and black forests in the distance.

The effect of the first fusion point investing in the brain has begun to be reflected. Through confirmation of the host memory fragments, he knows that his current comprehensive visual ability exceeds 5% of the host. The hearing enhancement is about 4%, the skin feels sharper, and the central nervous system is also optimizing while tending to be fully balanced.

A few dry black leaves were taken out from the pocket of the leather robe and stuffed them into their mouths. A faint bitterness suddenly spread across the surface of the tip of the tongue.

Many northern barbarians like to chew the leaves of needle birch trees. The trunk of this tree is no different from the birch trees in Tianhao’s memory, but the leaves are sharp and thick. Perhaps it is a variant that was forced to evolve by itself to adapt to the environment. It is impossible to verify when the northern barbarians included needle birch leaves in regular recipes. They usually collect leaves in summer and autumn, and can be stored for a long time after drying. Some people use them to soak in water, just like making tea in the civilization era. Some stuff them directly into their mouths and take them, and wait until the dry leaves are soaked in saliva and become soft, then chew slowly, and then swallow.

Every human living habit does not appear out of thin air. Tianhao felt the slight bitterness from the surface of the tongue, fused the components in the silent gap between cells, and quickly found the existence of several essential vitamins in the human body.

In the long winter without fresh vegetables and fruits, the people in Panshi Village rely on this to survive.

The hunting captain Yonggang lay next to Tianhao. He held two guns in his hand, and his eyes were full of nervousness when he was also staring at the top of the mountain opposite.

"Ahao, will they really come?" Yonggang's lowered voice was filled with a hint of suspicion.

Tianhao nodded slowly but surely: "Yes. As long as there is wind, it can spread the sound far away."

The wind is blowing.

Thousands of wind whistles tied to trees make a "buzzing" sound at the same time. The triangle wings rotate at high speed, creating a special melody inside the wind whistle with a special structure. The airflow hits this artificially set woods, and the whistle overwhelms the wind, rushed into the sky, and flew to a distant place.

Ten minutes, half an hour, one hour...

Tianhao glanced at the hunting captain who was about to lose patience and smiled slightly on his young face: "If I were you, I would cut my hair and change it to a clean robe."

This topic is obviously not related to what is going on, not to mention that Yonggang has a noble status in the village, and few people speak to him in this teasing tone. Yonggang looked at Tianhao with a strange look: "Why?"

"You haven't taken a bath for a long time, and your body odor is too great." Tianhao used his finger to remove a piece of dirt from Yonggang's leather robe: "The animal has a very sensitive sense of smell, and they can judge too many secrets by smell."

Yonggang's face froze. He knew that Tianhao was not talking nonsense without foundation, but there were too many things that could not be changed in reality. He lowered his head and used his hand to scratch the itchy movements of the hair root to cover up his embarrassment, but he felt a greasy deep in his hair, and even a lice that was frozen to death.

Tianhao grabbed a handful of snow from the ground next to him, rubbed his cheeks a few times, and the cold instantly drove away the trouble: "This hunt will be successful. Then we will have a new robe."

Before he finished speaking, Yonggang suddenly widened his eyes and made a bass sound from his mouth: "Look... over there... they are coming, they are really coming!"

On the opposite ridge line, there were crowds of dark shadows.

Many animal habits in this world make Tianhao feel strange.

According to zoologists in the civilized era, deer is an animal with very low IQ, and there is even the idiom "silly as a deer and a pig". However, many studies have shown that pigs are much smarter than deer.

The cold forced the giant horned deer to reduce its range of activities, and they had a habitat in the north. This is an open secret in Panshi Village. Hunters passed by there many times and had the idea of ​​surrounding them countless times. However, the deer herd was too big, and these docile animals became a strong whole by relying on their number. The strong and huge horned stags defended the outside, and they surrounded the female deer and the deer in the middle. When encountering emergencies, the huge deer with a total of more than 60,000 will follow the stags and form a terrible torrent that can crush everything between the vast mountains and forests.

Panshi Village, which is just over 200 people, is no match for the deer group. Over the years, after paying the price of dozens of hunters, whether it is the leader of the village, Fusong or the hunting team leader Yonggang, completely dispelled the idea of ​​hunting deer.

These giant-horned deer are very smart and have produced the most basic social framework. Even the strongest violent-bred bears are unwilling to provoke them.

Countless weak people gather together because of the same target, and they will form an extremely powerful force.

Tianhao knew very well that if you wanted to break this kind of power, the best way was to defeat it from the inside and cause conflicts within the deer herd.
