A group of people didn't care what kind of mess the pigs inside were in. They opened one side of the fence and rushed in.
However, this was also discussed during the tribe. Once the circle formed by the trapping net cannot be narrowed, the wild boar can only be captured in the most brutal way.
There were quite a few ropes thrown in. Although few of them were directly tied, many were still wrapped around the wild boars. Coupled with the sudden influx of people, the already panicked pigs lost their sense of proportion.
Facing an adult wild boar, such an action is obviously very dangerous, but fortunately, each person holds a shield and rushes in directly to the wild boar. One person may not be able to suppress it, but in the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty people rush in. It directly squeezed the already small surrounding circle, leaving not much space left.
The space was already small, and the wild boars also lost their last chance to escape. Even if they were lucky enough to get out of the crowd, the surrounding net formation was still tight.
After a few minutes, the group of wild boars were restrained and each one was tightly tied with a rope.
However, everyone was not much better at this time. Although the numerical advantage was relatively large, injuries were inevitable during the fierce struggle, especially if the wild boar's big head could not be stopped at the beginning. It hurt people, and several people were bitten like this.
Fortunately, none of the injuries were serious. Although they all looked miserable, they were all caused by the mud on these wild boars.
Not long ago, these wild boars were playing happily in the quagmire, each one covered in thick armor.
Naturally, they haven't been able to dry themselves out since they were frightened, and the way everyone hunts is very rough. They just press on them, so the mud naturally gets on everyone.
But this is just a dirty point. Compared with the results, it is nothing at all. They can catch so many wild beasts in just two days. This is something that the hunting team has never dared to think about before. In the past, when they went out to hunt, Even if you pay careful attention, bringing back three or four in one hunt is considered a good harvest.
Looking at the wild boar that was still struggling, Shi Meng couldn't close his mouth.
"God...God's envoy..."
Song Xuan is also very excited now, and has swept away the disappointment of the previous two days.
After counting, there were twenty-three in total, sixteen of which were adult wild boars.
Even if all these wild boars cannot be fed, eating them as meat is already very profitable, but no hunting can bring back so many prey.
The largest one weighed two to three hundred kilograms, and that alone was enough to feed the tribe.
The wild boar is not as gentle as the road, so if you want to take it back, you have to carry it. A big wild boar even requires two people to lift it.
Naturally, we must seize the time to bring the wild boar back to the tribe, but it is getting late now. It will take at least half a day to walk back to the tribe from here. Everyone can only camp on the spot. Fortunately, it is not far away. There is a lake where everyone can wash themselves off and go home smoothly tomorrow.
Although these wild boars were tied up tightly, Song Xuan also asked people to send them some grass. Even though he knew that no pigs would eat them, it was considered to allow them to adapt in advance.
However, two of the several deer had begun to eat slowly. They had been running around with the team all day long. At this time, they saw more than 20 wild boars. Song Xuan guessed that they had also recognized the reality.
As for the next die-hards, they can be brought back to the tribe and handed over to Uncle Lu for instruction.
Song Xuan actually had no idea how to raise wild boars. It would be fine if they were domesticated. Wild boars are not picky eaters, and they are omnivores. His food ranges from grass to wild fruits and even smaller beasts.
But the biggest problem for these newly captured people is how to survive in the tribe. They can only take them back and let Shi Yan and the others try them out.
The people who are the most expert in taming wild beasts are the people of the Ox Tribe. Unfortunately, Soaring Snake has not learned the essential part, and there is still some time before the exchange meeting. Song Xuan only hopes that these wild boars can survive until then, but not in the tribe. Ended gloomily.
At least it feels like they've gained a lot of fat, and they're a neat family, so they should be able to hold on for a while longer.
Early the next morning, everyone carried the wild boar and embarked on the return journey. By noon, they had returned to the tribe. On the way back, they even met Shihua and others who were picking wild fruits.
"Wow~"
Shi Meng and the others were obviously very impressed by the surprised sounds from the women, and they all raised their heads.
In this way, dozens of people were added to the already huge team. Since the animal trapping team had already taken away most of the adult males, only Shi Yan was left in the tribe.
The sudden return of everyone not only brought him a huge surprise, but also made Shi Yan and Water Witch a little confused. After all, preparing lunch for so many people in a hurry is not an easy task. So, Song Xuan directly asked Shi Hua to lead others to help with the cooking.
Song Xuan began to select a location for the pig pen of this group of wild boars.
Although it is the safest way to put it in the yard, there is not much space in the yard now. If a large pig pen is crammed in, the space will be too little. Fortunately, the wild boar has rough skin and thick flesh. Don't pick the place.
The most important thing is that the pig pen needs to be strong enough, otherwise if it collapses, the success will be in vain.
Except for a few smaller ones, Song Xuan asked Shi Meng to untie them and lock them in the house. The group of wild boars were still tied up, and the pig pens could not be delayed. They had to be built as soon as possible.
Pigsty Pigsty has almost become synonymous with messiness in later generations, but after all, it cannot be too far away from the tribe. If it is too far, Song Xuan will not worry, so he still arranges it on the south side of the tribe. This place is originally It is the place where wild animals are mainly raised, except that the pig pen is outside the tribe.
Song Xuan also decided to expand the tribe next year. By then, all the animals can be put together, which will make it easier to take care of them.
But if it is placed on the south side, then the wall on the south side will need to open a door. When the fence was built before, in order to avoid trouble, and the tribe did not need too many exits, so only the one near the river was opened. A door is open on one side, and the other directions are completely closed.
This door does not need to be as wide as the main door, it just needs to be easy to get in and out.
This exit is mainly used for the entrance and exit of the tribe's livestock, so that they don't have to go in and out through the gate every day, but Song Xuan estimates that Uncle Lu will not pay attention to it. According to his character, he will definitely not want to use the small door.
In order to facilitate and save time, the pig pen is still built against the wall, which can save a lot of effort, and the wall is strong enough, so there is no need to worry about the wild boar collapsing it. Even if it is destroyed, it can only lead to the inside of the tribe.
How strong the wall was at that time, how troublesome it is to tear it down now. Fortunately, the tribe's brick wall has not started construction, otherwise a large project would have been added. After a year of accumulation, the tribe already has a lot of bricks. , but this is also a big project. Song Xuan plans to wait for the trading conference before arranging their whereabouts.
A group of strong men spent a lot of effort to dismantle it by more than one meter. Although it is not wide, the passage is no longer a problem. The next step is to dismantle another section, which may damage the strength of the wall, so it is not possible. Only this width can be maintained.
The pigsty was being built at the same time as the demolition of the fence. Anyway, there were a lot of manpower, so it would be a waste if we didn't use it. Obviously we wouldn't go out again this afternoon, so just being idle in the tribe was idle.
Since they are wild boars from the same group, there is no need to build two pig pens. Just build a larger one for them to have fun in.
Regardless of the height, the hospital can be regarded as the second largest building in the tribe, with a length and width of more than ten meters. Of course, only a small part of it is for them to rest, and most of it is for the wild boars to have fun. Song Xuan even wanted to arrange a quagmire in the place. Pigs like to play in mud anyway, so the environment must be good no matter what, so that they can at least feel like they are in a forest.
Considering that wild boars like to use their noses to poke, Song Xuan asked everyone to nail more wood into the ground, and at the same time arranged two layers inside and outside.
Although the scope was large, only three sides needed to be built, and there were so many people. After two or three hours, a strong fence was completed, without even leaving a door.
Leaving a door in front of this group of wild boars left them with a weak point. The wild boars were still too destructive, and the pig pen had to consider this issue.
Anyway, except when they are slaughtered, they are not usually let out. Whether there is a door or not does not make much difference.
Since it was built against the wall, this side of the wall was their resting place. Before the pigsty was built, the shed had already been erected.
This group of wild boars is also fortunate to be the first in the tribe to use straw roofs. The dried straw does not need to be processed much, and the length difference is not too big. After a little arrangement, it can be directly sandwiched between the wooden sticks, and then spread on the already-made straw. On top of the set up shelf.
The straw does not need to be used sparingly like thatch. It has been taken back anyway and is still piled in the field. The tribe cannot burn it all. Besides, except for the cows, the other animals do not even look at it. The three cows only regarded it as hay with a special taste and didn't eat much.
If you don't use some when building a house, then the straw will really be wasted. Song Xuan even decided that if you can't use it up this year, you don't have to worry about it next year. Just cut a little less and the rest will be cut directly from the top. , much easier.
Although the ability of a single straw to prevent rain is not as good as that of thatch, as long as there is enough quantity and the cover is thick enough, there is no problem at all in sheltering from wind and rain.
