Watching the people of the Sheep Tribe pick up their weapons and walk away with the exchanged pottery, the Eldest Senior Brother quickly closed the gate, and any displeasure on his face disappeared. He turned around and ran to the place where the sheep were kept. Even on the way, laughter erupted uncontrollably, and no trace of seriousness remained.
Other members of the Green Sparrow Tribe, aside from those on guard duty, gathered around to see this bountiful food. Fifteen sheep!
Back when the Green Sparrow Tribe relied solely on fishing, hunting, and gathering, there were times when, due to bad luck, they couldn't catch this much game for almost a month!
Now, just by using the common pottery in the tribe, they had exchanged for so much game. How could they not be pleased?
Among them, the shaman was the happiest, laughing heartily at the sight of so many sheep.
Now, he completely understood the intention behind Divine Child’s insistence on giving fish instead of pottery during the Joyous Gathering. Looking at it now, if given a choice, he would also send some salted fish back to the participating tribes and, of course, possibly nothing. However, he definitely wouldn't send out any pottery.
After a short period of joy, Han Cheng announced that there would be no fieldwork in the morning. Instead, everyone should join forces to process the sheep.
Although the weather had cooled down, meat couldn't be left for too long. The sheep brought by the Sheep Tribe had been dead for some time now and needed to be skinned, butchered, and processed quickly, or it might go to waste.
Most people were enthusiastic about the dead sheep. However, Han Cheng, the Shaman, and the Eldest Senior Brother were watching the three-and-a-half-grown lambs with unbridled joy.
The vines on the lambs had already been untied. The little lambs seemed very frightened. As soon as they were released from the restraints, they immediately struggled to escape. However, their vitality was weakened by injuries and being bound for a long time. Their front legs went weak after standing up from the ground, and they immediately fell down.
After several attempts, the three lambs were firmly squeezed together, helpless and crying ‘baa baa,' which made people feel sorry for them.
Seeing their flat bellies, Han Cheng told Tie Tou to bring some green grass. Tie Tou ran swiftly and brought a bundle of green grass from not far away, placing it in front of the three lambs.
The power of delicious food was extremely strong, especially for three lambs who didn't know how long they had been hungry. Even in the face of several ferocious monkeys showing their teeth and looking extremely fierce, they couldn't resist the temptation of the abundant grass.
They walked over with trembling legs, reaching the bundle of grass, and stretched their necks to eat the greenery inside, mouths moving rapidly, eating very quickly.
Han Cheng took advantage of this opportunity to carefully examine the three lambs. Although they had some wounds, they were minor, and given some time, they would heal without causing significant harm.
With some food in their bellies, the three lambs gradually calmed down and revealed some of their natural behavior. The two ewes lowered their heads to eat grass peacefully, appearing quiet. The cheeky ram, on the other hand, was more domineering. Occasionally, it would use its head to nudge the two ewes, competing for the grass.
This guy was indeed a bit cheeky. When it saw a little ewe holding a long piece of grass in its mouth, struggling to finish it for a while, the ram tilted its head, opened its mouth, and used its tongue to bring the other end of the grass into its mouth. It ate quickly, moving its mouth rapidly.
While eating, it extended its neck toward the little ewe, following the gradually shortening grass.
A bit stubborn, the little ewe accelerated its chewing when it saw the food being snatched away. Then…
In Han Cheng's widened eyes, the mouths of the two lambs touched.
The cheeky ram even extended its tongue to lick the little ewe, and then both lambs lowered their heads, continuing to eat the grass as if nothing had happened.
How could they be so indifferent, showing the demeanor of an experienced driver? You haven't even reached adulthood yet!
Han Cheng sniffled, lamenting in his heart. Damn, this was unbearable. We've come to a primitive society, yet we have to witness this lovey-dovey scene.
If it were just primitive people, it might be acceptable, but now, being tormented by two underage lambs, what's going on?
Single dogs, indeed, have no rights.
Not only Han Cheng, the single dog, was distressed by this decayed and sour smell, but also Fu Jiang, the second dog. Unable to bear this corrupt odor, Fu Jiang suddenly jumped up, making whimpering sounds, and pounced towards these two guys who were used to feeding the dogs.
Having recovered some strength, the little lambs never expected such a disaster to befall them. The two were making ‘baa baa' calls in a panic, running with wobbly legs. The cheeky little ram was relatively unlucky and got pounced on directly.
Being frightened and struggling but unable to escape Fu Jiang's clutches, Han Cheng was also frightened by Fu Jiang's sudden move. After reacting, he raised his foot and lightly kicked Fu Jiang's buttocks, shouting, "Get up!"
He was worried that Fu Jiang, who had no habit of going easy, might accidentally kill the naughty lamb. After all, this guy was now the only offspring, and Han Cheng was counting on it to reproduce with the other two little ewes.
Fu Jiang, who usually practiced with the deer lord, had no habit of using excessive force. It just playfully pinned the lamb down, shaking its head and making threatening gestures.
At this moment, getting kicked in the butt and hearing Han Cheng's scolding, the frenzy immediately disappeared. It looked somewhat aggrieved as it stood up.
The little ram, who was frightened and pinned down, took the opportunity to jump up like a carp and joined the other two little ewes waiting not far away.
After a chaotic chase, the three lambs, scared and trembling, ‘baa baa' incessantly, were carried by people and placed into the deer pen.
This place was relatively secluded, with few people coming, so it wouldn't make these frightened lambs uneasy. It was an excellent place for them to stay.
