Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 428: Duck Eggs
Compared to other animals in the mountain forest, this fat duck still has a kind of closeness to people, and sometimes flies far from knowing what to do, but before dark it will still fly back, rest in the forest across the river, continue to move in the river and the forest on the other side of the river during the day, because of the proximity to the flaming horn tribe, there are no other dangerous animals close, which is safe for fat ducks.
When you get bold enough to get used to it, the fat duck won't be stable.
According to the man who often observed the fat duck at the bottom of the mountain, the fat duck disappeared for most of the first half of the day. When the people at the bottom of the mountain worried that it was gone, they were going to report it to Shao Xuan, and found it coming back with another bird. Later, they left, and when the fat duck came back, they brought another one with them.
So every other day or two, they bring back a bird that doesn't look exactly the same, some beak tips, some beak flats, some wings long, some wings short, some bright fur, some gray, some joy resting in the trees, some love resting in the grass. Even though the birds brought back by the fat ducks are different, morphologically, you can almost see the similarities, they look a lot like the ducks, and there may be a little kinship in the history of race.
If in the past, the tribesmen saw the birds flying in, they would surely hunt them, and the prey they sent to their doors should not be taken for nothing. But the fat duck belonged to Elder Shao Xuan, nobody dared to do it, and nobody even touched the other birds with them.
People under the mountain are now interested in counting ducks, go to the river whenever they have time to see if there are more ducks on the river today.
“Hey, how many?” A soldier on patrol today asks.
“Seventeen, fifteen yesterday.” Another soldier on patrol was happy.
“I didn't expect these birds to become more themselves! ”
“What are you talking about?! It was brought back by Elder Shao Xuan's bird. He was an elder. He brought back only one bird. How long has it passed now, it turns into 17 birds!” The man envied the tunnel.
“It's just that the birds don't look good, they're small, they don't have much meat, they're just ordinary birds. What does Elder Shao Xuan need so many birds for?” Someone's wondering.
“If Elder Shao Xuan does this, there must be a reason for him, let's not think about it, just stare at the birds. ”
“Stop it, it's time to detour!” The leader scolded.
Compared to that fat duck, the others were much more timid and vigilant. After all, the fat duck had lived with people, was more receptive, and was easier to adapt to on human soil, but the others were different. If someone approached the river, those still swimming on the water immediately screamed and fled, and would come back for half a day, some even for a few days.
So, in order not to freak out the birds, people down the hill, even if they count them, would go a little further, over a long period of time, and they would figure out a safe distance, so long as they were beyond that distance, they wouldn't freak out the birds. For this reason, the patrols, when walking to the river, turned away in order not to frighten the birds.
So, when the hunting team came back, the duck herd happened to pass there, and with a squeaky sound, all the ducks that had been swimming on the river took off, screaming and running away.
The hunting team returning full, someone intends to shoot down a few bows, just pull out the bow, see the tribal patrol wind run over, punch the bow man to the fly.
The rest of the hunting team: “…” What exactly happened while we were away?
When the patrol told the cause of the incident, the hunting team quickly put away the bows and arrows, but the frightened duck herd could not be called back for the time being.
“Will they come back?” Dokan asked.
“Yes, but a little longer, if the elders can only come back, most of the others will follow.” The head of the patrol hesitated to answer.
“Is the elder planning to raise a bird? ”
“The elders didn't care. Those birds flew in by themselves. The first one, the more they flew, the more I counted today!” The patrol leader had a smile on his face, but when he thought about whether the birds would be frightened by the hunting squad's position, he never flew back, and the smile on his face faded, worrying. After all, the hunting team still carries blood stains and killings, which are different on peace days.
Worried, the leader of the patrol went up to the mountains and told Shao Xuan about it.
“Don't worry, as long as the fattest one returns, even if not all others, there will be more new members in the future.” Shao Xuando.
The patrol leader saw Shao Xuan say so, and he was not worried. However, every turn, he often went up to the river to see if the birds had returned, and a few had returned.
Probably the duck herd was really scared. This time it came back a lot slower, and only fifteen of them flew back. However, you can see that the fattest green one is still there, and you don't have to worry about it. It's only good, it will attract more anyway.
Shao Xuan did not anticipate the current situation. He thought that if this fat duck settled near the tribe, it would probably hook a few female ducks. However, Shao Xuan still muttered about the ability of the fat duck, and the cargo actually hooked up with a group! Today, the rear palace of this fat duck is still expanding.
Seems right to bring that fat duck back.
If henceforth the ducks lay eggs, some ducks hatch up, maybe there will inherit the fat ducks detoxifying physique, the ducks can eat, the ducks can slowly domesticate, see if they can lay as many eggs as possible.
Whether or not the second generation of ducks will develop as Shao Xuan thought, it is too early, not even a duck egg, let alone the second generation of ducks.
On that day, Shao Xuan had just returned from the tribal bronzer's side and was seen guarded at the entrance, two warriors patrolling the mountain, a woman and a child below Shao Xuan's waist.
“What's the matter?” Shao Xuan asked.
See Shao Xuan come back, wait for the women there to excitedly take out what was in their arms carefully wrapped in animal skin.
“This is what my kids found in the river last night, and it's supposed to be from you, Elder.” The woman handed Shao Xuan her eggs.
Normally, at night, the ducks leave the artificial river and enter the woods to rest in their nests. The ducks, some nesting on trees, some in the grass, Shao Xuan had seen.
Either wild duck will not lay eggs as often as those already domesticated.
“Where did you find this egg?” Shao Xuan asked the child.
“In the grass by the river.” There were no ducks in the river at night, and their children sometimes went to play by the river out of curiosity. I had no idea he had picked up an egg in the grass by the river last night, not to mention how happy he was. After going back to talk to my parents, I went up to Shao Xuan today, led by two patrol soldiers.
Shao Xuan looked and saw that the egg had already cracked, then returned the egg land to the child. "Take this egg and eat it. Eat it first. If there is nothing else, then eat the rest. ”
Looking at the egg in front of him, it didn't seem like a joke to see Shao Xuan. The child grinned and continued: “Thank you, Elder! When I find more eggs, I'll send them to the elders! ”
With this first egg, after waiting for the duck herd to leave at night, many people went to look for it, but few more eggs could be found. Shao Xuan saw it in the woods, and some duck nests lay several to a dozen different eggs.
