1171. Forest hunt (2)
Lazhong looked big and thick, with a frosty face, but when he actually started to move, he was so clever and clever. He quickly strung a chain of hanging chains on Doma's neck with red silk thread.
Then, he used the remaining cypress seeds to string a bracelet and put it on Ao Muyang respectfully.
Ao Muyang was wearing a white nan chain on his hand, and the cypress seed string was a bit complicated, but looking at La Zhong's pious look, he could not refuse.
Moreover, the cypress seed bracelet is quite exquisite. He looked at it and nodded, "It's very good, La Zhong, I didn't expect you to have this kind of needlework."
Doma laughed and said, "In our village, needlework is a skill that all men are good at."
Ao Muyang was very glad that he was reincarnated in a fisherman's house, not a Zhalong collector, so he couldn't stand housework such as washing clothes and sewing clothes.
After packing up the cypress seeds and putting them in Lang Er's small backpack, he patted his butt and said, "Doma, tell your dad, let's go?"
"good."
La Zhong understood his words, and then he pursed his robe and stood up happily to call the dog.
Doma also looked expectant, and he said to Ao Muyang: "My dad has a very powerful jungle tracking technique. You can wait and see. As long as we find traces of wild beasts, my dad can find them."
Ao Muyang thought for a while and said, "Doma, I remember well. You Zhalong people should believe in Tibetan Buddhism, right? Didn't Tibetan Buddhism teach people not to kill? Then why do people in your tribe have such powerful hunting skills?"
Doma said: "Yes, we believe in Buddhism, but in the village, men will not have contact with Buddha. That is the exclusive enjoyment of women, so if they do not kill, we men can kill. Besides, this kind of tracking technique is not mainly for tracing wild animals, but for tracing the cattle, sheep, pigs and horses that are lost in our own village."
Later, he told Ao Muyang while walking that there were many mountains and dense forests in the area of Zhalong, and the cattle, sheep, pigs and horses that were raised in the village liked to rush into the mountains to find tenderer and greener grass.
In deep mountains and old forests, high mountains and dense forests, searching for lost cattle and sheep there is tantamount to finding needles in a haystack.
Nowadays, many farms in Inner Mongolia and the northwest have used a chip for newborn livestock in their ears, which can locate them and follow the navigation to find them.
The Zhalong people are in a nearly primitive society. Naturally, they do not have these high-tech technologies, and everything depends on the skills they have passed down.
Walking on the road, Lazhong kept saying something to Doma. The father and son communicated in tribal language. Ao Muyang couldn't understand it. He could see Lazhong constantly pointing at the stones on the mountain and talking to Doma. Doma kept nodding, and from time to time he would touch the stones and the forest.
When Lazhong stopped talking, Doma explained to Ao Muyang considerately: "Uncle, my dad is teaching my clan the tracking technique. Do you want to learn it?"
Ao Muyang smiled dryly and said, "I won't learn it anymore. This is the secret of your clan that is not passed down, right?"
Doma smiled and said, "That's right, but if you are willing to learn it, this skill was summarized by our ancestors from the hunting life of ancient times. You know, there are many animals and plants in our mountains, including bears, big deer and big wild boars, as well as small animals such as fat rats, grouse, and rabbits. These are our food, so whoever can accurately identify their footprints can bring rich food to the tribe."
Ao Muyang understood that the people of Zhalong did not know how to plant this. It was not until the great era of the Republic of China that the planting industry was introduced to the local area, and they began to clean up the land and plant some food. In the past, they mainly relied on hunting to make a living.
For a tribe who lives like this, hunters are the hope of the tribe. If a tribe has excellent hunters, the tribe will flourish and develop, otherwise it will decline.
Doma told Ao Muyang that his father had taught him to identify the differences between rocks and trees and weeds in different locations. These differences were very small, but tracing prey in the jungle requires careful observation, because often the traces left by wild birds and beasts are very slight.
Compared to Doma, who has been receiving modern education, Lazhong is more conservative. After hearing some communication between the two, although he didn't say anything, his expression pulled down.
Ao Muyang waved his hand to Doma and said, "Forget it, Doma, you don't have to explain the skills of tracking to me, you have learned it yourself."
But Doma suddenly became angry and shouted at Lazhong.
La Zhong sighed and said to Ao Muyang: "Give up the mud and replenish the energy!"
Lao Ao couldn't understand it anymore, Doma laughed again and said, "My dad is apologizing to you and saying I'm sorry."
Ao Muyang said inexplicably: "Why did he suddenly apologize?"
Doma laughed and explained, "I got angry with my dad just now. I said that the village chief took us in, saved my life, and asked me to go to school and gave you work, but you cherished him. This is a very despised behavior, and my dad will definitely apologize to you."
Ao Muyang also smiled, and he waved to La Zhong and said, "This is nothing. I should respect your customs. If tracking is the secret of your tribe, no matter how much I have to you, I should not force you to disclose the secret."
Doma immediately said, "Uncle the village chief, you are the real Dharma protector in front of the Buddha."
After hearing his words, Lazhong showed a sense of sadness on his face, looked up at the distance, and a sense of sadness appeared in his eyes, his mouth squirmed and muttered something.
Doma once again translated to Ao Muyang: "My father said that this is no longer a secret. There are no wild animals in the mountains and forests, and the people in the village have also begun to receive tourists and go out to work, so that they can live a better life. In fact, what is the tracking technique worth keeping it confidential? They are no longer valuable."
Their goal is deep in the mountains and forests, beyond Ao Muyang's expectations.
After entering the denser jungle, Lazhong began to become busy. He lay in the grass from time to time and looked around in the gaps of the grass. During this period, he became taciturn and did not teach Doma much.
Just as Ao Muyang was wondering if it was because he was by his side, La Zhong simply stopped talking, so he said to him: "Uncle, my father has discovered the prey, and he has no time to teach me!"
Ao Muyang understood that his thoughts were seen through by this child who was only in the second grade, and he was suddenly embarrassed. In addition, he was also surprised by Doma, who was quite smart and clever.
After lying in the grass several times, La Zhong waved his hands with a serious expression and called the two of them to his side. Old Ao also looked solemn. It seemed that he had met a big guy, and it should be a wild boar!
