Chapter 44 Saving the Bison

After the black bear was killed, the hunters hiding in the darkness all around retreated and gave up the thirteen cows.

Mainly, they don't think they can be the opponent of the two-legged beast, not to mention that the two-legged beast has accomplices.

After getting rid of the black bear, Xia Qi left twenty people to take care of the sheep and cattle, and then took the people to hunt around.

However, so far, Xia Qi has encountered only two kinds of livestock that can be domesticated, namely sheep and cattle. In fact, they have encountered a lot of hares, but these guys can dig holes, and they don't have the tools at hand right now, so they won't do it for the time being.

Think about it. I saw a lot of pheasants and wild ducks, but the problem is that these guys can fly, and I haven't found their eggs.

Unknowingly, Xia Qi and the others have been in this world for four days. So far, they have captured many sheep and several other wild beasts. However, because they could not be tamed, Xia Qi killed them all for meat.

Several people each carried a basket of grass on their backs and cautiously approached the cows. Before taking action, Xia Qi had specially warned them to be careful.

Although these big guys have been hungry for a while, who knows if they are still aggressive.

Perhaps they knew that these two-legged beasts had been protecting them, or perhaps they had been hungry for nearly two days without a wink and were too tired, so the thirteen bison did not resist.

When these people came to them, the bison behaved very docilely, making no noise or making any fuss. Their huge eyes looked at the people who came to them quietly.

Seeing this, these people quickly grabbed a handful of grass in their baskets and placed it in front of the bison. These big guys were really hungry, and they didn't care what the two-legged beasts wanted to do or what their ultimate goal was.

His tongue circled the green grass in front of him into his mouth.

Although these guys were feeding the cows, what they were thinking was: Why didn't the clan leader kill all these big guys? Killing such big guys would definitely produce a lot of meat.

Not only were the cattle and sheep not allowed to be killed, the clan leader not only refused to kill them, but also assigned people to take care of them.

However, although it is not clear why the patriarch of the family does not do this, judging from the past, the patriarch's decision is always correct.

Xia Qi, who was on the shore of the lake, felt relieved when he saw that the cows were very docile. The next step was to find a way to get them out of the lake.

After all, these dozen bison are cattle, not buffaloes. If they are soaked in water for a long time, their bodies will have problems, especially their hooves, which look very hard, but most of the problems that occur in cattle come from

here.

As for why we didn't just get the bison out when they got stuck, to put it bluntly, it's actually the same as boiling an eagle.

Only by letting them experience despair, and then a person appears as a savior, can the risks be minimized. For example, when they struggle to rescue them, or when the bison just pulls out its hoof, it backhands them with a kick.

However, there is a problem in getting these bison out of the lake. Who knows whether these seemingly docile big guys will struggle during the subsequent rescue, run in the wrong direction, or run away as soon as they are rescued?

Already?

Xia Qi felt that they had to get something like a traction for these big guys, such as a rope. They didn't have a rope, but they could cut the animal skin and make it into a rope. Such an animal skin rope would be better than most ropes.

Be solid.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. The animal skin rope was divided into two strands and put on the two horns of the bison respectively. Unfortunately, the conditions here are not enough. Otherwise, each of these bisons would be given a nose ring to ensure that these bisons can

Everyone is obedient.

In addition to being used for traction

In addition to the ropes to prevent the bison from escaping, Xia Qi also had people put a lot of grass under their feet. This was to prevent these big guys from sinking in again as soon as they pulled out their feet.

A group of people hugged a bundle of grass and walked closer to the bison in the lake.

Unlike the bison, the reason why these big guys can get stuck in the quagmire is because their bodies are too heavy and the structure of their bodies. Once they get stuck in the quagmire, unless they are lucky enough to get help from humans, they will have no choice but to die.

.

As for humans, they are much lighter than bison. Coupled with the structure of the body, the contact area between the feet and the mud is much larger than that of bison. What's more, even if they accidentally fall into the quagmire,

, humans can just bend down and peel away the mud next to them.

Under the puzzled gaze of the bison, these people placed grass mats in an area around them, and repeated the matting several times. This was to give the bisons enough support to prevent them from pulling their hooves out of the mud.

, and fell into it again.

Once everything is ready, the next step is to dig out the mud next to the cow's hoof so that it can break free from it.

Rescue of a bison requires the cooperation of at least two people, with one person pulling the rope and the other digging the mud.

As the mud was dug up little by little, the bison felt that the hooves that had been tightly sucked began to loosen.

"Moo!"

The bison looked up to the sky and mooed, and then began to struggle hard. The surrounding lake water became turbid at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, it did not break free from the shackles of the mud, but instead sank deeper.

Feeling that all his previous efforts were in vain, Xiong Er slapped the bison on the neck angrily.

"Don't move!"

"Moo--" the bison responded.

Perhaps knowing that his struggle was of no use, the bison remained motionless, waiting for Xiong Er to dig into the mud.

"alright."

Xiong Er put his arms around his neck to wipe the water on his face, and then patted the bison's dug leg to signal that it was ready. It was as if there really was some kind of bond between humans and cattle.

The bison immediately understood what Xiong Er meant.

This time it didn't expend too much effort, and pulled out the leg with just a little force.

Then a funny scene occurred. For fear of getting the hoof stuck in the mud again, the bison just lifted the leg and refused to put it down.

"Relax."

When Xiong Er saw this, he stretched out his hand and pressed it down hard.

"Moo!"

The bison barked reluctantly, but in the end the hoof was pressed in again. Originally, it was thought that the hoof would get stuck in the mire again and be unable to get out, but the scene it was thinking about did not happen.

After the cow's hoof stepped on the grass there, it only sank a little, and the cow's hoof could still move freely. After feeling this, the bison stopped moving for an instant, allowing Xiong Er to dig out the other three legs.

silt.

After more than half an hour, the other three legs of the bison also broke free from the mud. Under the guidance of the bear, the bison successfully stepped on the grass and landed.

"Moo——"

After landing, the bison stretched its neck and roared, seeming to celebrate its escape from death.

After the bison came ashore, someone immediately wiped the water stains on its body with the animal skin. During this process, the bison did not run away but quietly gnawed on the weeds with its head down.

Because it was the closest to the shore, it was the first to be rescued. Several other bison were being rescued. One of the bison was far away from the shore, and the silt had already reached it.

of the thigh.

Otherwise, it could be said that misfortunes and blessings depend on it. Previously, because it was the closest to the shore, several groups of wild beasts were eyeing it. If it weren't for the Xia tribe, I'm afraid it would have turned into a pile of skeletons by now.

Fortunately, there are no crocodiles, piranhas, etc. in this lake, otherwise, these bison would have been left to die.

Rumble…

While everyone was busy digging the mud, a roaring sound came from the distance.

No, are you still coming?

After hearing this sound, almost everyone had the same thought, thinking it was another herd of bison.

Only Xia Qi, the expression on his face was changing drastically.

"Xilulu——"

After a while, everyone only saw a patch of yellow dust appearing on the horizon and coming towards them rapidly. In terms of momentum, it was much stronger than the buffalo herd that day.

Soon after, these creatures revealed their true colors. They looked tall and majestic, with long manes on their necks flying in the wind. The combination of strength and beauty was vividly displayed on their bodies.

Xia Qi stared straight at these creatures, his saliva almost flowing out.

If cattle are a necessity for the development of civilization, then these creatures are a necessity for the military, and they are one of the ultimate romances for men.

After all, what man doesn't want to be a knight for a while?

That's right, this group of creatures coming from afar is not a herd of cattle, but a huge herd of wild horses, with at least a thousand wild horses among them.

When Xia Qi was in his own world, he had encountered a herd of wild horses, but because the tribe was migrating at that time, and the tribe was too weak at that time and could not tolerate any surprises, he had no intention of taming the wild horses at that time.

.

But it's different now. If possible, he will definitely try to tame some horses, because Xia Qi wants to try to build a cavalry.

The cavalry is the pinnacle of the cold weapon era, especially the heavy cavalry, which is comparable to Blue Star's modern tanks.

Looking at the flexibility of the cavalry, they are the harvesting machines on the battlefield. Even during World War I, the cavalry was still active. Knowing the large-scale use of guns during World War II, the cavalry has been active in the history of human battlefields for thousands of years.

The army declined.

However, the development and use of machine guns were all in the gunpowder era. You know, he is still in the morale era. Therefore, this is not something he has to consider now. Even for a long time in the future, he will

There is no need to think about this matter.
