Chapter 101： Young bird dumplings

Popular recommendation:

The hunting team carried the giant horn forward and captured a big guy. Everyone was in a good mood, and they were even discussing how much the horn, hide and bone of this giant horn could be made.

Jiang Xuan's mood is also very happy, because he really feels his current powerful strength, which is the guarantee of survival.

"Leader, there is a bird in front of it, it can't fly, it's so big!"

At this moment, a soldier who was exploring the road in front hurried back, his face full of excitement.

"Can't fly? Take me to see."

Jiang Xuan followed the soldier and ran forward quickly.

In the primitive jungle, there are all kinds of birds, some can fly, some can't.

Flying birds are more difficult to catch, but flightless birds, such as the plump unicorn, are a good hunting target for the people of the Vine tribe.

They've already killed a giant horned beast, and they'll be happier if they have another big flightless bird.

Jiang Xuan moved fast in the various complex terrains of the jungle. From time to time, his feet stepped on some huge vines covered with moss and fallen dead trees, but he didn't make much noise.

The same is true for the soldiers of the hunting party. Except for those who carried the prey, everyone looked light when they advanced.

This is the instinct of a hunter, because too much movement will scare the prey away.

Not long after, they came to the foot of a high mountain and saw a strange looking bird.

This big bird is about half the height of a human being and looks very plump. Jiang Xuan estimated based on his rich hunting experience that the bird weighs at least 70 to 80 catties, more than double the size of a unicorn.

"Strange, how come I've never seen such a flightless bird?"

Jiang Xuan stared at the big bird standing under the tree, feeling that something was wrong.

Because it is too fat, or too fat, and its eyes are big, but it is not as sharp as those fierce birds, but it looks a little cute and moves very slowly.

The vine tribe warriors who explored the path judged it to be a ferocious bird based on its eagle-like beak and strong and sharp claws, and did not dare to do it themselves.

Jiang Xuan also relied on his own strength. After he felt that something was wrong with the big bird, he approached with the bone spear.

When Jiang Xuan approached, the big bird spread its wings and made a threatening tweet at Jiang Xuan.

"Baby bird?"

Jiang Xuan was shocked to find that the wings of this big bird were fluffy, not the thick and sturdy feathers of an adult bird at all.

Not only that, its cry is not sharp at all, and it is relatively immature.

"What kind of bird is this, how come even the juveniles are bigger than other adults?"

Jiang Xuan felt incredible. If this bird was an adult, how big would it be?

The first thing Jiang Xuan thought of was the black giant eagle of the old witch.

That giant eagle has a wingspan of more than twenty meters and is terrifyingly large, feeding on all kinds of ferocious beasts and even beasts.

Secondly, the black-toothed birds of the Black-Toothed Tribe have a wingspan of more than ten meters. Although they are not as large as giant eagles, they have excellent endurance, can fly long distances, and have strong attack power.

Could this chubby young bird also be a giant bird?

Jiang Xuan was suddenly moved, because he was very eager to be like the old witch, like the expedition team of the Black Teeth Tribe, to have a large bird that could take him around the world.

Although there are giant dragonflies in the Vine tribe now, but giant dragonflies have short lifespans, and it is difficult to cultivate feelings, let alone communicate with them.

However, the life span of large giant birds is generally very long, and the IQ is relatively high. After being raised for a long time, they can understand some simple words and instructions.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan stared at this huge young bird with gleaming eyes, which scared the young bird back and forth.

"Eye...Eye..."

The chick still keeps its wings outstretched, which makes it appear larger.

When the animals confront each other, they will take various methods to make themselves look taller and more powerful, hoping to scare off their opponents.

However, after Jiang Xuan discovered that it was a young bird, he knew that it did not have much attack power, so he directly ignored its behavior and rushed towards the young bird.

Seeing that the threat was ineffective, the young bird was so frightened that it turned around and ran, but because it was too fat and had no running experience, it couldn't run fast at all.

After a while, Jiang Xuan caught up with the young bird, pressed it to the ground, and tied its two claws so that it could no longer escape.

"Eye...Eye..."

The young bird screamed loudly, but it was of no use, and its mother bird was obviously not in this area.

Jiang Xuan finally felt relieved. He was really afraid that the cry of this young bird would attract a bird as big as a giant eagle, and they would all have to flee.

"Bring a Tengnet over here!" Jiang Xuanchong shouted to the soldiers of the hunting team who had already arrived here.

One of the warriors in charge of carrying the Teng Net immediately took off a Teng Net from his back, and together with Jiang Xuan, netted the young bird.

Jiang Xuan tried it and found that the young bird was too big to mention, so he found a pole, hung Teng Wang on the pole, and let the two soldiers carry it away.

Uncaria came to Jiang Xuan, looked at the young bird that was still calling, and said, "Boss, are you going to bring it back for domestication?"

Jiang Xuan replied: "Yes, this is a young bird, take it back and see if it can be raised."

"Baby bird?"

Uncaria thought he heard it wrong. He stared at the large bird in the rattan net for a while, and said incredulously, "Such a young bird is really rare."

"It's not unusual that I don't want to raise it yet."

Jiang Xuan was already imagining what this young bird would look like when he grew up.

Currently, the plumage of this young bird is gray and white, which is about the same color as most young birds.

When they grow up, they will have more brightly colored feathers, which are completely different from when they were young.

A day later, they returned to the Vine tribe.

The huge giant horn aroused cheers from the Vine tribe and was quickly disposed of.

The young bird was sent to the yard where Jiang Xuan lived, and Jiang Xuan tied it in the yard with a strong bark rope.

Along the way, the young bird didn't eat anything. After being tied up, it tried to struggle for a while, but couldn't break free, so it squatted on the spot, closed its eyes, and cried from time to time.

Jiang Xuan went to the breeding area and asked Dajiao for some bugs, then brought them back to the yard and tried to feed the young bird.

However, after seeing the worms, the young birds turned their heads and didn't eat them at all.

Jiang Xuan changed several kinds of big bugs, and even brought some fish and shrimp.

However, the young bird just glanced at it and still didn't eat it.

Jiang Xuan's brows furrowed, if the young bird didn't eat, it would starve to death in a few days.

"What kind of food is this chick going to eat?"

Jiang Xuan pondered carefully, guessing what food the mother bird of this young bird would feed it.

"Do you want to eat animal meat?"

Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up, small birds might eat bugs, but large ominous birds like giant eagles obviously wouldn't prey on small bugs!

They obviously go for some larger prey, even when feeding young birds.

Just at this time, the giant horn had been decomposed, and two warriors brought the giant horn, the heart of the giant horn, and a part of the animal meat.

"Why don't you try the meat of a giant horn."

Jiang Xuan cut the meat of the giant horn into smaller strips and placed it in front of the young bird.

This time, the young bird stared at the meat, obviously interested.

But Jiang Xuan waited for a long time, but it still did not take the initiative to peck.

"You eat, I teach you, like this, pecking and eating."

Jiang Xuan held his hand into the shape of a bird's beak, and then went to peck at the meat strips.

The young bird lowered its head and tentatively pecked one, but it didn't hold it firmly and fell to the ground again.

Jiang Xuan was anxious to see it. He directly picked up the meat stick and hung it above the young bird, shaking constantly.

This time, the young bird finally opened its mouth, grabbed the meat strip in one bite, and swallowed it in a few bites.

Jiang Xuan let out a long sigh and said, "Finally eat."

In the previous life, Jiang Xuan also dug out some birdhouses and caught some young birds, fantasizing about raising them.

But at that time, he was young and impatient. Those young birds would not eat the worms by themselves, and they all starved to death.

Later, he had some psychological shadows on raising birds, for fear that he would die from raising them again.

If the young bird stopped eating just now, he planned to break open the bird's beak and force it into its mouth.

After eating some meat sticks, the young bird's mental state was obviously better, and it began to call out "Eyer...Eyer...", and was always pecking at the rope tied to its claws, trying to break it.

Jiang Xuan said to himself: "It's not good to tie it like this. You can't let it live in the house at night, right? Otherwise, let's build a shed and lock it up."

Jiang Xuan did what he said, immediately called a few soldiers, chopped some sturdy bamboos nearby, and then started to build a roofed shed in the yard.

Everyone has experience in building a bamboo hut, not to mention that the soldiers are amazingly powerful. When the sky is dark, a brand new bamboo hut is built.

Jiang Xuan spread some hay in the bamboo shed, then untied the rope from the young bird's legs, locked it in the Hsinchu shed, and fed some meat strips.

The young bird ran around in the bamboo shed, but did not find a chance to escape. After dark, it lay on the haystack and gradually became quiet.

"Finally clean."

Jiang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, the young bird had been calling for a day, making him dizzy.

He cooked something to eat, washed again, threw some stinky grass into the fire to repel mosquitoes, then lay down on the bamboo bed and fell asleep.

That night, he had a sweet dream, dreaming that he rode a giant bird flying in the sky.

"Eye...Eye..."

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Jiang Xuan was woken up by the soul-like cry of a young bird.

Jiang Xuan got up, sat on the bamboo bed, and said helplessly, "Why do you like to be called so much?"

But the baby bird that I caught, I have to continue to raise it with tears.

He went to the bamboo shed to have a look, guessing that the young bird was hungry, so he cut some meat strips for it to eat.

Sure enough, after the young bird devoured it, it finally stopped calling.

Jiang Xuan looked at the lack of a large piece of animal meat, and muttered: "It's too edible. Fortunately, the food is more abundant now, otherwise, it will be thrown into the pot if it is raised."

After the sun rose, many warriors knew that Jiang Xuan had caught a large young bird from the mountain and brought it back to raise, and they ran over to see it.

Chi Shao also came over, because her bamboo house was not far from Jiang Xuan's place, and she could hear birds chirping.

Jiang Xuan asked, "Sister, can you tell what kind of bird it is?"

Chi Shao stared at the young bird for a long time, shook her head, and said, "I have never seen this kind of young bird. If it is an adult bird, I might be able to recognize it."

Jiang Xuan nodded, but he didn't care too much, he would know it naturally when he grew up.

Chi Shao looked at it for a while, then said, "Did you give it a name?"

"name?"

Jiang Xuan scratched his head. He knew that Dajiao had given many names to the animals he raised, such as Xiaofei and Dahei.

Tribal people are also accustomed to naming domesticated animals. For example, the Deer Tribe used to raise a lot of big-horned deer, each with a name.

It's also a little fun in hard life.

Jiang Xuan stared at the young bird for a while, thought for a moment, and said, "It's long and round, and it's edible, or it's called Tangyuan."

"What are dumplings?"

Chi Shao was a little puzzled, she had never heard of this word.

Jiang Xuandao: "It's a kind of food that the old man told me in the dream. It's round like a ball. It can be cooked and eaten. It's sweet."

Chi Shao nodded and said, "Sweet food is delicious, so let's call it tangyuan."

Chishao didn't know that the dumplings had a special meaning for Jiang Xuan, and they pinned a kind of nostalgia for the past life.

In fact, this kind of miss gradually faded with the time he lived in this world. He was afraid that one day he would completely forget that world In this way, the name of this young bird was determined.

Soon, the entire tribe knew that the leader had adopted a very large chick, and many warriors were very envious of this, and fantasized about being able to capture such a chick.

Time passed by day by day, autumn came silently, and the hot summer became a thing of the past.

This young bird named "Tangyuan" was also carefully raised by Jiang Xuan. It grew up and ate more and more every day.

At the beginning, it was a little afraid of Jiang Xuan, but as it was fed for a long time, it gradually became less afraid of Jiang Xuan, and even showed closeness to Jiang Xuan.

Slowly, Jiang Xuan tried to stop locking it up and let it wander around the yard.

After a period of time, the dumplings lost their fluff and gradually grew hard purple and blue feathers, and became more intimate with Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan was sure that it would not escape, so he opened the door of the yard so that it could walk in the bamboo forest and look for some food.

Until one day, the glutinous rice **** that had grown full of hard feathers came back from the bamboo forest with a snake, and held it in front of Jiang Xuan as if offering a treasure.

Jiang Xuan, who was working in the yard, was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Tangyuan, you can actually catch snakes!"

Tang Yuan raised his head arrogantly, with a look of complimenting me.

"Tangyuan, you are so amazing!" Jiang Xuan let the tangyuan get his wish.

The dumplings really happily opened their wings and fluttered a few times, kicking up a puff of dust.

Jiang Xuan looked at the snake on the ground and said to Tang Yuan, "This is the first time you have searched for food by yourself. Eat it yourself."

Tangyuan seemed to understand Jiang Xuan's words, and it immediately pecking happily.
