This Is My Primitive Tribe

Chapter 61: Birding in the Snow

It snowed heavily for several days, and the snow on the ground was no longer than my knees, making it very inconvenient to walk outside.

This winter was wickedly cold. After it snowed, the weather became even colder. Although it would not drip into ice, the pond of the Veng tribe and the flowing stream were quickly frozen.

In such cold weather, not only the tribesmen of various tribes felt tormented, but also those animals who did not have the habit of hibernating.

Even the divine vine on the stone mountain, after being covered with ice and snow, seems to have entered a state of hibernation, and the silence seems to be eternal.

On snowy days, most of the Teng tribe stayed in their houses, relying on the food and firewood they hoarded in autumn to get through the day.

Even the giant eagle raised by the old witch only went out for food when it wasn't snowing, and it didn't catch its prey every time.

Jiang Xuan actually walked around the Veng tribe every day, observing the animals and creeks in the forest, as well as the freezing conditions of the river.

On October 2, Jing Ji found Jiang Xuan again.

Because they have almost finished their food reserves, and the food provided by the Vine tribe is far from enough for more than 100 people.

"Boss, when are you taking us to find food? Our food is almost finished."

It was obviously cold winter, but Nepeta was very anxious to get angry, and those tourists were also very anxious, after all, they were about to face the danger of running out of food.

This time, Jiang Xuan did not let him go back and wait.

"You come with me."

Jiang Xuanxian took Nepeta back to the bamboo house, and took a pair of old animal leather boots for him to put on, because he was always so barefoot, it was easy to freeze.

This makes Nepeta very grateful. In the tribal era when productivity was extremely low, even a pair of animal leather boots was precious.

After Nepeta put on the animal leather boots, Jiang Xuan brought a bundle of ropes, a large rattan basket, and some food scraps, and then took Nepeta into the forest north of the tribe.

"Boss, what are we doing here?" Jing Ji looked at the vast white forest and couldn't guess what Jiang Xuan was going to do.

"Catch birds." Jiang Xuan walked forward while observing the situation around him.

Nepeta looked at the forest blankly, and said, "But we didn't bring bows and arrows, and we couldn't set up a lasso trap in this weather!"

Jiang Xuan smiled mysteriously: "Who said that only lasso and bow and arrow can catch birds?"

Ignoring the confused Nepeta, Jiang Xuan continued to look for the range of activities of the big bird that he was optimistic about before.

When it snows heavily, not only people's range of activities is greatly reduced, but so are animals. They generally don't get too far from their nests, and their range of activities is relatively fixed.

Before long, Jiang Xuan discovered a series of scattered footprints on the snow.

"follow me."

Jiang Xuan followed the footprints to find it, and Jing Ji followed behind.

They didn't go too far when Jiang Xuan noticed a flock of big birds ahead, about seven or eight.

This kind of big bird is very big. The adult bird weighs more than 30 pounds and has thick legs. It can run fast in the forest, but its wings are very short and can't fly.

The most peculiar thing is that this big bird has a bunch of feathers on the top of its head, which looks like a horn. Therefore, the tribesmen call this bird a unicorn.

Although the unicorn can't fly, it is very vigilant. It will panic and flee if there is a slight disturbance, so it is difficult to hunt.

Only a good archer, or a trap set in advance, can catch a unicorn.

Jing Ji whispered, "Boss, it's hard to catch unicorns."

Jiang Xuan smiled mysteriously: "It's really hard to catch them in normal times, but now it's a cold winter when food is scarce, so they will become very easy to catch."

Jiang Xuan quickly got back to work.

He first found a wooden stick, tied a rope at the bottom of the stick, and then put down a rattan basket where the unicorn often traveled, and supported the wooden stick on the edge of the big rattan basket.

Next, he sprinkled some fragrant food scraps under the big rattan basket, and carefully unrolled the bundle of ropes connected to wooden sticks and extended it into a bush.

Jiang Xuan and Jing Ji hid behind the bushes.

Jiang Xuan said in a low voice, "You wait here, I'll chase these unicorns. After a while, the unicorns will find the food under the rattan baskets after they run here."

"If a unicorn gets into the rattan basket to eat, you immediately pull the rope and tear off the wooden stick. The rattan basket will fall and cover the greedy unicorn. At this time, you can run over and hold it down. Basket, don't let the unicorn overturn the rattan basket and run away, remember?"

Jiang Xuan's words finally made the confused Nepeta understand what was going on. He hurriedly nodded, indicating that he remembered it.

"Then I'll go catch the birds."

Jiang Xuan left the bushes, then went around in a circle, and went behind the group of unicorns.

After becoming a two-color warrior, his body seemed to be more adapted to the mountains and forests. Even the snow that covered his knees could not stop him from moving, and he only made a very soft sound.

Jiang Xuan hid behind the unicorn and didn't show up, because the unicorn was too timid, if he showed up, he would probably run around everywhere.

"Crack..."

Jiang Xuan broke a branch wrapped in ice and snow, making a crisp cracking sound.

The group of unicorns that were foraging in the snow immediately raised their heads, looked in this direction vigilantly, and prepared to escape at any time.

"Crack, click..."

Jiang Xuan broke the branches one after another, and the highly vigilant unicorn fled immediately, but because he did not see any predators, he was not frightened, and did not reach the point of panic.

Jiang Xuan watched the group of unicorns run in the direction of the rattan basket trap, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

These unicorns were just like what he knew before, and if they weren't overly frightened, they would just run around in familiar places.

"Next, just wait for them to throw themselves into the net."

Jiang Xuan circled again and ran towards Jing Ji.

Speaking of Nepeta, he was hiding in the bushes, but he didn't have much hope for such a simple trap.

Because the tribesmen are aware of the vigilance of the unicorn, how could the unicorn be so stupid and get into the rattan basket by itself?

But since Jiang Xuan asked him to wait here, he could only wait patiently, and at the same time pray that he would be able to gain something when he came out in the severe cold today.

It didn't take long for the group of unicorns to be driven over by Jiang Xuan.

They were more cautious about the newly-appeared rattan baskets. They didn't approach them at first, but looked at them from a distance.

But it didn't take long for one of the unicorns to find the food under the rattan basket.

Since the snow, these unicorns have had a hard time finding food in the forest, and they have been hungry for days.

The temptation of the food made this one-horned bird involuntarily walk towards the rattan basket, but it still stared at the surroundings vigilantly. As long as there was a disturbance, it would run away.

However, until it came to the rattan basket, there was still no movement around, and the food under the rattan basket was in front of him.

Nepeta behind the bush became nervous, and he kept praying in his heart: Go in, go in quickly...

The one-horned bird first tentatively pecked a piece of food on the edge of the rattan basket, and found that there was no danger, and then it pecked a second time.

Gradually, other unicorns also discovered the situation here~www.readwn.com~ and came over here.

The one-horned bird that was pecking was in a hurry. It stopped looking up, pecking faster, and unknowingly walked under the rattan basket.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, Nepeta suddenly yanked on the rope, tore off the wooden stick supporting the rattan basket, and the big rattan basket caught the one-horned bird all at once.

"Gu Gu Gu..."

The unicorn in the big rattan basket panicked and wanted to escape, but couldn't see the way.

Nepeta immediately rushed up and threw herself directly on the rattan basket, pressing down on the one-horned bird so that it would not have the chance to fly away again.

Scared by Nepeta, the other unicorns immediately fled in a panic, running fast on the snow.

After a while, Jiang Xuan also came over.

Jing Ji shouted excitedly, "Boss, I got it, I really got it!"

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Grab it, you'll almost crush the bird in the rattan basket."

"it is good!"

Nepeta got up, opened a little rattan basket, then reached in and grabbed one of the unicorn's wings, then dragged it out and pressed it against the snow.

Afterwards, Jiang Xuan tied the two long legs of the one-horned bird together so that it could not run away.

"Go, go back to the tribe first."

Jiang Xuan and Jing Ji returned to the tribe with the rattan basket, rope, and the unfortunate one-horned bird.

Nepeta was very happy because he knew that if he could catch one bird this way, he could catch more birds, which was a very important source of food.

Of course, Jiang Xuan knew very well that just relying on bird hunting would not be able to feed the more than 100 tourists.

But it doesn't matter, he still has a way to let these tourists get more food in the cold winter!
