Chapter 29: How Ancient People Hunted
Qi Guan Xiong went to farm in the morning, and in the crop field, he met Uncle Mao who came back from hunting.
Uncle Mao went into the mountains to hunt last night, and when he got up in the morning, he harvested a lot of prey, and when he came back, he happened to see Qi Guan Xiong. Because he was happy, he called Qi Guanxiong to go back to drink with him.
He has too much prey for one person to handle.
That's it! The two of them came back together.
When passing by the house, Qi Guanxiong put the hoe at home, said hello to his aunt and went to Uncle Mao's house.
Uncle Mao peeled a pheasant and asked the family to stew it. Seeing that Qi Guanxiong was coming, he quickly asked his family to heat up the ready-made boiled meat, and then took out some fried dried fruits, and the two began to drink.
Hunt! It's not just about hunting, it's about waiting, waiting for the prey to be covered.
Hunting is not just about finding your prey and then chasing it and shooting it, it also involves trapping your prey.
Next set! It is the use of special tools for hunting, such as clips, rope sleeves, traps, cages, net pockets, etc.
Install these hunting tools first, and then! Hide aside and wait for your prey to take the bait.
Generally, they go up the mountain at night, then go home to sleep, and then go to harvest the prey after dawn.
If it's going deep in the mountains, then! At night, you will spend the night in the mountains. Spending the night in the mountains is called "hunting".
Generally, hunters go hunting in the mountains in groups. Deep in the mountains, they have their own stronghold. There are makeshift houses with stoves and firewood. Pots and rice, etc., some of them were brought over temporarily.
The hill is a small hilly area with small mountains. So! Usually they spend one night in the mountains and come back the next day.
Hunting in particularly large deep mountains, hunters usually have to stay for a period of time after they have moved in. They brought salt, rice, dry food, and other food, and killed and ate all the prey they caught. After capturing the prey with good fur, the fur is peeled off. The fur is stretched out with branches and dried. Meat, eaten straight. If you can't eat it, you can make it into a finished product with salt.
Under normal circumstances, everyone has enough to carry before going down the mountain to go home.
If you are lucky enough to catch a wild boar or other large beast, you can go home after three to five days in the mountains. If everyone is unlucky, they may not be able to return home for ten days and half a month.
Even! I have eaten all the dry food and other food I brought with me, and I haven't caught much prey yet. In desperation, I had to go home.
In antiquity! There are many people who have fled and become "unlicensed" hunters after hiding in the mountains. Or! Survive by stealing prey from hunters.
There are also many people who have fled and explored, strayed into the hunter's hut and temporarily hid inside.
Where hunters live, they are generally able to live at home. There is a water source nearby, the ground is open, and large beasts dare not go.
Last night's Uncle Mao, who was very lucky, caught seven hares, ten pheasants, and a dog badger weighing more than 30 pounds.
Other than that! Also ran a wild boar.
"That wild boar, I suspect it is at least more than two hundred pounds. If I do, I won't be able to kill it alone! That's enough! That's enough! Uncle Mao didn't regret the wild boar that ran away at all, and said very complacently.
That's it! Uncle Mao, who came back, all the prey combined, has more than 100 catties.
Last night's hunting record was more than the usual combination of a dozen or so people.
It is precisely because of this that Uncle Mao was happy and invited Qi Guanxiong to dinner.
Of course! There are two other reasons for shouting that the official bear is eating: one! Happy, showcased. Two! There were so many prey, many of which were still alive, and he couldn't hold them alone.
Shouting that Qi Guanxiong will go back to their house for dinner now, in fact, it means: help me! Take your prey home.
Of course! It's not the kind of utilitarian idea that is blissfully utilitarian.
Qi Guanxiong naturally knew Uncle Mao's intentions, so he stopped working, and helped Uncle Mao come back with the prey.
The two drank wine and bragged about it, and the atmosphere at the scene was very warm.
Uncle Mao's family stewed the pheasant and served it to them. Other than that! At the behest of Uncle Mao, he was willing to do it. The dog badger, which weighed more than 30 pounds, skinned and boiled it, and was ready to be chopped up and given to his clansmen and relatives, as well as to those in the village who had good relations with him.
Under normal circumstances, every household has to give a little. How much of the above is said, let the children try it.
The ancient people were very simple, and the relationship between neighbors was relatively harmonious. People who can't get along will be driven away sooner or later. Other than that! Most of the people who live in a village are a family. Or! People who are related to the family.
In general! Strangers are rare. You can't live unless you are kind to others. Or! Someone is willing to help you, so you can live.
In a word: the ancient people had a very strong family concept.
Unlike people in modern society, who are indifferent, the neighbors in the urban unit may not know each other. The voices of chickens and dogs are heard by each other, and the old and dead do not get along.
The two were eating and drinking, and Le Ge came over on crutches.
Seeing Lege's embarrassed appearance, Qiguan Xiong pulled his face down on the spot.
Lege's body is wearing pajamas, which are a little wrinkled. His hair was disheveled, like a madman. None of this is the point, the point is! Lege lost weight, his eyes looked even more stupid, and he looked pitiful and called Hanako.
Qi Guanxiong felt that Lege's appearance was the one who came out to throw him away, making his face dull.
"Hehehe! Le Ge! Come on, come on! Eat pheasant meat! ”
Uncle Mao doesn't care at all, on the contrary! Also very welcoming. He took out a piece of chicken leg from the food bowl, shook the soup on it, and handed it to Lege.
"I don't eat! I just ate it and can't eat it! Lege refused.
Since he got sick, his appetite has not been great and he can't eat. I also have no appetite, and I feel tasteless when I eat anything.
"Oh! Oh! I'll eat it later! Wait! I'll keep it for you! Uncle Mao took the chicken leg back and put it in the food bowl. And then! Beckoning Le Ge to sit down.
"Daddy!" Le Ge didn't sit down, but stood there, shouting at Qi Guanxiong.
Qi Guanxiong didn't speak, and looked at Lege, his face was still ugly.
"Daddy! Auntie went to the mountains to dig herbs alone after lunch! ”
"Auntie, she went alone?" Qi Guanxiong changed his face and asked.
"After Kong Qiu came at noon, he saw that his aunt had gone to the mountains, and he also followed."
"Hehehe!" Qi Guanxiong listened and laughed with satisfaction.
"Daddy!" Seeing that Qi Guanxiong didn't understand what he meant, Le Ge hurriedly called "Dad" to remind him.
That means: there is absolutely no good thing for a lonely man and a widow to go into the mountains! Go ahead! Otherwise! Auntie is about to roll the grass with Kong Qiu in the meadow in the mountains.
Not rolling sheets, but rolling grass.
No! It's a field battle!
"What? What the? Uncle Mao seemed to hear it and asked, "Auntie went to the mountains to dig herbs, Qiu?" Confucius he followed? What do you mean? ”
"What else do you mean? Not yet? He wants to get married, and he can't wait! Lege said loudly and dissatisfied.
"Smack!"
Under the reminder of Le Ge, Qi Guanxiong's face couldn't hold back, and he slapped the chopsticks on the desk with a "snap". Forthwith! He stood up.
"Thanks! Uncle Mao! I'm still in business! I'll go first! ”
"Master Xiong!" When Uncle Mao saw the image of Qi Guanxiong, he didn't dare to stop it.
"Come to my house another day for a drink!" When he went out, Qi Guanxiong turned around and said.
And then! Take a quick step and run quickly.
Are you kidding? It doesn't matter if the music doesn't make it clear. This makes it clear, if such a thing really happens, what will be the face in the future?
