Chapter 52： the best offering

It takes about ten days for a huge pottery ding to dry in the shade, and it also takes a certain amount of time to dry in an earthen kiln.

Therefore, after Jiang Xuan was done, he began to prepare the most important thing for the sacrifice.

That is to prepare sacrifices!

Because I want to make the sacrifice more ceremonious, and also to make the rattan **** more satisfied, the preparation of the sacrifice is very important.

The first is all kinds of food, including stone eggs, round potatoes, thorn fruit, red hair fruit, Huang Jing and so on.

If there are five grains, it is the best, but unfortunately, there are no vine tribes yet, so we can only find them and plant them later.

Then there is Shenteng's favorite blood food.

In terms of blood food, Jiang Xuan plans to use big fish, colorful pheasants, colorful ducks, bighorn sheep, black deer and other prey to sacrifice to Shenteng.

The offerings this time are very rich, Jiang Xuan believes that Shenteng will definitely like it.

Jiang Xuan planned to go hunting for bighorn sheep, black deer and other prey first, because the big fish are in the river, and it is the same when they go fishing.

That night, Jiang Xuan and Chishao, Uncaria, Loach, and Nanxing discussed hunting matters.

"We're going to hunt. This time the hunt is more difficult, because the ones caught alive will be brought back for sacrifice. I plan to take three people and leave one person to stay in the tribe."

Chi Shao didn't say anything, because she would definitely go.

Uncaria said first: "To catch live prey, you must rely on traps. I'm good at making traps, leader, take me there."

Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Uncaria is good at making traps, count him as one."

"Me, me, leader, you promised to go hunting again last time, and you will definitely bring me with you!"

Nan Xing looked at Jiang Xuan eagerly. He was the youngest and had the lowest combat power. He never took him with him every time he went hunting. He had longed for it for a long time.

Last time, Jiang Xuan kept him at home and promised to take him with him next time he went hunting, can't he break his promise?

Jiang Xuan looked at Shi Loach with some embarrassment.

Shi Loach was relatively calm, and he took the initiative to say, "I'll stay in the tribe."

"Okay, let's take Nanxing."

"Great!"

Nan Xing jumped up with joy and shouted, "I'll go prepare hunting tools right away."

Everyone in the room laughed, and then went to prepare hunting utensils.

Early the next morning, Jiang Xuan, Chishao, Uncaria, and Nanxing brought all their hunting tools and prepared to go to the southern forest for hunting.

It was already late autumn, the autumn wind in the early morning was bleak and cold, and the green leaves in the forest gradually turned yellow or red.

Jiang Xuan's face was painted with totem patterns, and he was wearing a simple animal skin coat, animal leather pants, and animal leather boots. He held a bone spear in his hand, a stone knife at his waist, and an animal skin bag on his back. bow and arrow.

It is said that people rely on clothes and horses and saddles. This outfit makes him look wild and more intimidating.

"Huhu..."

On the top of the stone mountain, giant dragonflies circled constantly, catching some large insects, and some small birds and beasts to eat.

But its movements are not as fast as in summer.

"I don't know if this giant dragonfly can survive this winter."

Jiang Xuan looked up, his voice a little low.

This giant dragonfly has accompanied the Vine tribe for more than half a year. When the Mosquito tribe's hunting team attacked, it also helped them fight and ate a lot of bird-billed mosquitoes.

However, the life span of dragonflies seems to be very short, even if it is so large, it cannot survive the winter.

Chishao said, "Some bugs can only live for a few days. They can live well for half a year. This is their life."

Jiang Xuan thought about it and said, "Yes, compared to trees, our lives are also very short."

Jiang Xuan no longer struggled with this issue, Chi Shao was right, this was her life.

"Let's go, go hunting in the mountains!"

Jiang Xuan glanced at the giant dragonfly again, then withdrew his gaze and walked firmly into the forest, followed by the three of them.

Nan Xing was particularly excited, and there was a bone whistle hidden in his animal skin bag.

After a long time of practice, he can now use the bone whistle to make vivid bird calls and deer calls. After he enters the mountain, he plans to find some prey to try to see if he can use the bone whistle to attract prey.

Soon, they entered the wild virgin jungle.

No matter what state they were in before, when they entered the jungle, everyone's attention became highly concentrated and their steps became lighter. These actions almost became their instincts.

The jungle is dangerous, and hunting is also dangerous. Careless people can easily lose their lives in the jungle.

"Chuck, chuckle..."

While walking, Jiang Xuan suddenly stopped and squatted down. The others also stopped.

A group of colorful pheasants appeared in front of them, there were about seven or eight pheasants.

The colorful pheasant is very beautiful. The rooster has a bright red comb on its head, a purple-blue neck, and long and gorgeous seven-color feathers on its tail. It looks very beautiful.

In autumn, there is plenty of food in the forest, and these colorful pheasants are very fat. The roosters are roughly estimated to weigh more than 20 pounds, while the hens are relatively small, estimated to weigh about 10 pounds.

At this time, these colorful pheasants are looking for food in the forest. They are looking for some plant fruits, seeds, and various bugs to eat.

Jiang Xuan asked Chi Shao in a low voice, "Can you catch these colorful pheasants with a lasso? They are all good sacrifices."

Chishao looked around and said, "The colorful pheasants don't fly far, we can go around to the front, use bugs as bait, set up lasso traps, and drive them away."

"Okay, let's do that."

Jiang Xuan waved his hand, and the four of them bypassed the colorful pheasants far away, and from the open space in front, they quickly caught some bugs and set up many lasso traps.

Uncaria is indeed very talented in setting traps. After a period of study, his speed in setting traps is comparable to that of Chishao.

Uncaria bent a small shrub down, tied a rope, and connected it to a trigger trap on the ground.

Finally, he tied a bug in the center of the noose.

This bug is connected to the trigger trap. As long as the colorful pheasant wants to eat the bug, it will pull the safety device of the trap, and the twig will bounce up instantly, pulling up the rope and wrapping the colorful pheasant's neck.

If you are lucky, you might catch its claws.

"All right."

Uncaria briefly cleaned the traces on the ground, and then proceeded to lay out the next trap.

With the efforts of the four, all the traps were laid out soon after.

"Nan Xing, follow me, sister, you go to the left, Uncaria go to the right, and we'll sandwich the three breads later to drive away those colorful pheasants and let them fly to the trap."

"it is good!"

After Jiang Xuan finished the division of labor, he immediately took Nan Xing back to his previous position.

The red peony and Uncaria go around the sides of the colorful pheasants.

"Uuuuuu..."

When they were ready, everyone stood up immediately, waving their weapons, and making a whistling sound to drive away their prey.

"Gluck cluck..."

"Flapping fan fluttering fan..."

Those colorful pheasants were startled, then flew up, and instinctively fled to the side where there was no one.

Because the colorful pheasants are relatively fat and not good at flying, they only flew a few dozen meters before falling, and burrowed into the bushes to hide.

The four Jiang Xuan gathered together again.

Seeing the colorful pheasant fly to the trap area, Jiang Xuan was very satisfied.

"Okay, now let's find a big tree that can see those traps, and then hide in the tree and wait patiently."

The four of them searched around for a while and then found a big tree with a better view. They climbed up to the tree one after another, hid on the dense branches, and watched the movement over there through the gaps in the leaves.

About ten minutes later, those colorful pheasants thought that the man had left, and they burrowed out of the bushes.

At first, they were more cautious, carefully observing their surroundings.

After half an hour, they gradually became more courageous. As usual, they used their claws to dig on the ground, looking for insects to eat.

An hour later, a colorful pheasant was the first to spot the bug in a lasso trap.

It stared at the bug for a while, but after all, it failed to resist the temptation and pecked at it.

"Whoosh!"

The colorful pheasant triggered the trap, and the bush bounced up instantly, and even the noose immediately tightened, wrapping around the colorful pheasant's neck and dropping it.

This colorful pheasant flapped its wings desperately, but couldn't break free.

"Gluck cluck..."

The other colorful pheasants escaped again.

"You're caught, go down."

The four quickly climbed down the tree, Jiang Xuan rushed to the front of the trap the fastest, and grabbed the two wings of the colorful pheasant.

"Quick, tie its claws."

Uncaria excitedly took out the rope, quickly grabbed the two claws of the colorful pheasant, and tied it up.

Chishao untied the rope around the neck of the colorful pheasant to prevent it from being strangled to death.

"What a fat colorful pheasant, a good sacrifice, haha!"

Jiang Xuan held this colorful pheasant and laughed from ear to ear.

This hunt started off well, and I will definitely catch more prey in the future.
