Chapter 125: Wolf and Deer fight and harvest

Deer Lord also joined in. With its fondness for flowers, it wouldn't miss the opportunity to indulge in the tempting display.

When Han Cheng spotted the deer approaching, he quickly led Fu Jiang away. These two companions were not ones to put a person at ease.

Deer Lord's current look was quite cool. Not only did it have a face with a splint, but it also had ropes wound around its antlers and even a mask covering its mouth. It was a unique sight in the entire Green Sparrow tribe.

Of course, this mask wasn't made of gauze. At this time, even if Han Cheng wanted to make a gauze mask like that, he couldn't find the materials.

Under Han Cheng's instructions, the Deer Lord's mask was woven by the Green Lord tribe's top craftsman, Lame, using rattan.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

It was roughly bowl-shaped, with symmetrical ropes tied around the edges. When worn, it only needed to be hooked onto Deer Lord's long mouth. Then, it wouldn't fall off by tying the ropes slightly at the base of its antlers.

Such a thing was called a "cage head," commonly used for cows and horses, usually woven from broken bamboo strips in Han Cheng's old hometown.

However, Han Cheng hadn't found any bamboo, so he had to use rattan instead.

Fortunately, the effect was not bad.

This was evident by watching Deer Lord desperately trying to get its mouth on the rapeseed flowers but miserably failing due to the mask, with its tongue making loud noises.

Seeing this pitiful scene, Han Cheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Could it be that Fu Jiang, this silly dog, was becoming clever, using tactics where sacrificing oneself to kill the enemy?

Deer Lord, upon witnessing this scene, was furious. It grunted, grunted again, and spared the rapeseed flowers that were frightened by it. Lowering its head, it charged towards Fu Jiang.

These two companions, who had fought countless times, were already familiar with each other's tricks.

Fu Jiang, who had been poked in the butt many times by Deer Lord's antlers, couldn't let it succeed. It swiftly dodged to the side, baring its sparse teeth at Deer Lord.

Considering that there is more rapeseed this year than last year, Han Cheng also expanded the construction of the wheat field quite a bit to about fifty or sixty square meters.

For the rapeseed harvest, the couple Tie Tou and Ruhua are the main force, especially Tie Tou. During this period, he has become adept at cutting grass with a stone sickle; the same skill applies to rapeseed harvest. One person can harvest faster than two people.

Like harvesting thatch, the harvested rapeseed is placed in small piles nearby, tied with ropes and transported to the tribe's wheat field.

Larger bundles of rapeseed are made for those with greater strength, while those with less strength make smaller ones.

Because there isn't much rapeseed, not everyone in the Green Sparrow tribe is involved in the rapeseed harvest.

Han Cheng only drew a quarter of the workforce from those building the wall, plus the couple Hei Wa and his wife, which was already sufficient.

Han Cheng didn't let others handle the carefully cultivated two patches, totaling less than two hundred rapeseed plants. Instead, he harvested them.

After harvesting, they were tied into bundles with grass ropes, four plants per bundle, then carefully hung on some branches on the west side of the tribe's cave entrance to dry without mixing them with the rest of the rapeseed.

Not only were they not mixed with other rapeseed, but even these two patches of rapeseed were strictly separated during drying.

They may not look much different now, but they would become two major factions in Han Cheng's anticipation.

One faction would develop towards the direction of Chinese cabbage, while the other would develop towards rapeseed with better taste and more seeds.

Of course, even if this plan could succeed, it would take at least seventy to eighty years.

Looking at the rapeseed hanging on the branches, exposed to the sun and wind, Han Cheng couldn't help but sigh slightly. The road ahead is indeed long.

Thinking like this, he immediately smiled again. To encounter this primitive rapeseed at this time is already extremely fortunate. How can one be dissatisfied and proceed slowly when luck is so good?

If the direction is right, there will always be that successful day.
