Vine Tribe, Gou Teng’s home, night.
"Mom, why can’t we go out when it gets dark?"
Fu Ling sat on the threshold, with little Tian Dong, just over two years old, lying in her arms, curiously asking all sorts of questions.
At this moment, the moonlight was like water, and the whole tribe had quieted down. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
Fu Ling looked at Tian Dong with a face full of affection, scratched his little nose, and said, "Because when it gets dark, all sorts of fierce beasts come out, and if you go out at night, you’ll get eaten by them."
"Then why hasn’t Dad come back yet?"
"Because your dad is a warrior of the tribe, he has to go far away to hunt, so that we can have meat to eat."
Hearing the word "hunt," little Tian Dong clenched his small fists full of longing, "When I grow up, I also want to become a warrior like Dad, go hunting, and eat meat meat!"
Fu Ling chuckled softly, "Alright, in the future, our Tian Dong will be a brave warrior and eat meat every day."
Little Tian Dong was very serious, his eyes full of determination.
Fu Ling ruffled Tian Dong’s little head, looked at the moon in the sky, then at the mysterious Stone Mountain in the night, praying that Gou Teng would return safely with prey.
Every time the tribe members went out for hunting or battle, they would encounter all kinds of dangers, and those left at home couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Because no one knew whether this time would be a farewell of life and death.
It is due to this extreme lack of security that the tribe members need faith. Faith can bring people courage, provide a refuge for the soul, and make them braver.
"Mom, I want to hear the hunting song..."
Fu Ling cleared her throat, then softly sang with a very ancient tune:
"Mysterious forest... hidden dangers everywhere..."
"Brave warriors... enter the mountain to hunt..."
"Guardian God of the tribe... protect the warriors against fierce beasts..."
"Return from hunting... everyone eats meat..."
"Return from hunting... everyone eats meat..."
The ancient and simple hunting song, under the repeated humming of Fu Ling, floated in the night sky.
Little Tian Dong, just over two years old, listened to it, his eyelids gradually unable to stay open, and soon fell asleep.
Perhaps in his dream, he would become a brave warrior, walk into the mysterious forest, fight against all kinds of fierce beasts, and finally return loaded with prey.
"Fell asleep so quickly."
After singing several times, Fu Ling looked down and saw that Tian Dong had fallen into a deep sleep, his little face particularly cute in the state of sleep.
Fu Ling couldn’t help but kiss little Tian Dong’s forehead, then carried him into the house and laid him on the bed.
To prevent mosquito bites, Fu Ling went outside to pick some Fan Grass, squeezed out the juice, and applied it to Tian Dong’s clothing and the bedside, so mosquitoes wouldn’t come near.
Actually, she could also take out some charcoal from the firepit, put a handful of Stinky Grass on it to smolder.
However, burning Stinky Grass produces a lot of smoke, which is quite choking, and Fu Ling is afraid of choking the child.
After doing these, Fu Ling took out a few sheets of cut Beast Hide, a Bronze Needle, and fine thread, and began to sew.
As the Workshop Master of the garment workshop, Fu Ling is very diligent and thinks about how to sew better clothes, backpacks, and shoes whenever she has time.
May sixth, the breeding area.
"Snorting snorting..."
Under Da Jiao’s careful breeding, over thirty wild boar piglets had all grown up smoothly, especially those boars that had shed low tastes, growing plump and making people happy just looking at them.
"Raise them until autumn, then we can slaughter them, choose a fat and strong one as a sacrifice, and offer it to the Vine God."
Da Jiao patted the back of a wild boar, the thick meat making him quite satisfied.
The wild boars in the mountains are very fierce, but the domesticated wild boars are used to people and behave more docilely.
Of course, this is only relatively docile.
As these wild boars grew bigger, the pigsty could no longer contain them, and if forced to be confined, they could butt the door apart.
Therefore, Da Jiao specifically fenced off a piece of land to raise these wild boars, usually not closing the pigsty door, allowing them to roam around that area.
Strangely, after opening the door, these wild boars would wander outside during the day, and when it was feeding time or at night, they would return to the pigsty on their own.
This made Da Jiao quite relieved.
Besides these wild boars, the variety of wild beasts and birds domesticated by the Vine Tribe was also increasing.
For example, the Fierce Birds.
When the Fierce Bird Tribe was destroyed, Da Jiao picked up some Fierce Bird Eggs and brought them back to the tribe, having the Unihorn Bird hatch these eggs.
Now, this group of young Fierce Birds had also grown to mid-size, beginning to show their ferocity.
Those Five-Colored Ducks, Seven-Colored Pheasants, and even the Unihorn Birds all dared not approach this group of Fierce Birds because they were too fierce.
Strangely, the tribe members just liked ferocious wild beasts and birds, and these large and ferocious Fierce Birds quickly attracted the attention of many warriors.
These warriors all begged Jiang Xuan to let them try to tame the Fierce Birds as mounts.
Although the Fierce Birds couldn’t fly, they had long legs, ran fast in the forest, and possessed great endurance and attacking power, making them suitable as mounts.
Jiang Xuan pondered a bit and agreed to their request.
After all, the Vine Tribe already had several types of mounts, adding a Fierce Bird wouldn’t matter.
