86 hanging feet
◎The sub-adult females were curious and rubbed their brothers' butts, wanting to see what was on them.
Qiao Jinnian didn't waste any time and used a thorn dipped in blue plant juice to tattoo a blue number 1 on Sister Sa's direct descendant.
Of course, she only needs to embroider the numbers on the males, because the males will be kicked out at the age of 3, and the females will stay, so marking the males is very important.
She thought that Sister Sa's descendants were blue, and the number 1 represented the first generation, while the descendants of Little Sister Sa and Sa Zhua Zhua were marked in red, also starting from the number 1.
Later, if she encounters a male with these marks in the wild, she will continue to mark their offspring with the numbers 2, 3, to indicate the generation, and so on.
Unlike the four of Sa Dadan, Qiao Jinnian was already very familiar with them because they had been together for a long time. But this next generation had 14 more of them at once, which made it too difficult to distinguish them.
So, she didn't bother to name them. After all, there were so many names that she couldn't figure it out herself. She just wanted to know whose descendants they were.
After embroidering a blue number 1 on one of Sister Sa's male offspring, the poor little brother kept crying "woo woo woo".
But even though he was yelling so loudly, his mother just watched him helplessly and didn't even do anything.
Yes, although Sister Sa didn't understand what Qiao Jinnian was doing, she had always been very indulgent towards this strange cub. She also knew that this cub had very big ideas, and even Ryan couldn't control them.
Qiao Jinnian is the only lion who is never afraid of Ryan's roar. No matter how angry Ryan is, she is not afraid.
Therefore, Ryan usually gives up educating his children, and Sister Sa is not in a position to intervene, after all, she is not their biological mother.
Now, there was a strange blue mark on her son's butt for no apparent reason. Sister Sa just walked over and looked at it for a long time. Seeing that there was hardly any bloodstain, she didn't bother to care about it.
So, Qiao Jinnian grabbed several other sub-adult males, held them in her arms, and embroidered the number 1 on each of them. However, the colors of the offspring of Sister Sa, Little Sister Sa, and Sa Claw Claw were all different.
If you think about it this way, it is equivalent to Ryan's descendants being blue and Reiner's descendants being red.
The female sub-adult lion opened her big lion eyes and looked at her brothers. They were held down and poked on the butt by the elder. She was very curious why this lion sister or aunt didn't poke them too?
What does this mean?
The sub-adult females were curious and scratched their brothers' butts, wanting to see what was on their butts.
Unfortunately, most predators can only see a few colors. These light blue and red markings are not very obvious. Compared to red, blue can be seen.
So, the female lion came over and licked the blue numbers on her brother's butt, as if she was using her tongue to disinfect her brother. No lion licked the red numbers, because obviously this color was too insensitive.
After the imprint was made, everyone had a full meal and rested, and then the sub-adults were taken back by their mothers.
Although Qiao Jinnian said that she would look after the cubs and let Sister Sa and her two younger sisters go hunting, she mainly felt that she could not cooperate with Sister Sa in hunting.
But she can hunt in her own way and bring them back, so that the sub-adults can practice their hunting skills.
Now, every time the sub-adult hunts, she observes her mothers’ hunting methods and learns many techniques from them, but practice makes perfect, and catching a live prey is what she, as the elder sister, or aunt, can do for the family.
After thinking about it, Qiao Jinnian still wanted to ride the prey back, so she set her sights on the zebra.
She had personally witnessed Sister Sa hunting zebras. Zebras were actually very dangerous animals. If you were kicked by their hind hooves, your kidneys would definitely rupture.
Therefore, Qiao Jinnian must make a thorough plan to ensure that he will not get hurt and can successfully capture them alive.
Qiao Jinnian lay quietly in the grass, looking at the herd of zebras in the distance, thinking about his hunting plan.
Because she wanted to capture the zebra alive, she couldn't use bows and arrows or traps. In addition, she had to prevent the zebra from performing its back kick.
She thought of the method of using a rope, which was the same method used by ancient people to trap their prey.
In her previous life, she seemed to have seen on the Internet how ancient people made hanging foot covers, but it was so long ago that she couldn't remember it at all.
It doesn't matter, she should be able to figure it out after trying a few more times.
So, she sat in the grass for the whole afternoon, connecting shorter hemp ropes to make a long hemp rope. After trying many times, she finally figured it out.
That is to fold the rope end to the right first, pass the noose through the rope end, leaving enough space, and then tighten the rope end slightly.
She stuffed a wooden stick into the noose and pulled the rope hard. She found that the noose would tightly wrap around the wooden stick and was quite useful.
So she crawled forward and sneaked into the herd of zebras, trying her best to avoid their notice, and placed the noose she had prepared in advance on the road where zebras often appeared.
Because the rope was very long, she tied the other end to a tree. In this way, she didn't have to wait by the side until the zebra stepped into the noose. When it walked forward, as long as its feet were caught in the noose, the further it walked, the tighter the noose would become, and finally it would completely tie itself in the noose.
Of course, she would also wait behind the big tree. It would be unrealistic for the zebra to tie itself up by itself. The zebra's feet would need to stay in the noose, so it would be more reasonable for her to pull the rope.
So, Qiao Jinnian prepared the noose and wanted to try this hanging-leg-snap hunting method.
At present, this method can capture zebras alive without any loss, and is the most economical hunting method.
The trap method will harm the prey, and digging too many traps can easily cause accidental injuries.
After setting up the noose, Qiao Jinnian hid behind a big tree, waiting for the zebra to come here to eat grass.
But this is like waiting for something to happen, which is a bit silly.
So, Qiao Jinnian went to call Cloak over to help. There was no other way, because only Cloak knew how to do this kind of work, and the other animals couldn't understand what she was doing at all.
Sure enough, Cloak quickly realized that the trap this time was the rope. Although he was surprised, he wondered how he could hunt if he placed the rope on the ground.
In the past, Cloak could easily understand the traps dug by Qiao Jinnian. They were meant to lure prey into them so that the prey would fall into the hole and be injured by the spikes.
However, this time, Cloak raised his eyes, and there was a rare look of confusion in his eyes, as if asking her, where is the trap?
Qiao Jinnian didn't explain, just waved his hand and told him to attract the zebras over there.
As her loyal little brother, Cloak was really conscientious. Without asking any questions, he went into the herd of zebras, picked a zebra, and bit its hind leg.
Because the cloak is very short, even if the zebra uses its back kick, it cannot knock him away, so being short has its advantages.
The bitten zebra ran after the cloak in frustration, and came to the side of the tree.
Then, naturally, the zebra stepped its hooves into the noose. Qiao Jinnian had been staring at the zebra. With a quick pull, the rope tightened instantly, and the horse's hooves were completely tied up.
The zebra found that its legs were tripped by something, and it made a "woof woof" sound like a dog barking, trying to struggle free, kicking its hooves hard.
As a result, the characteristic of this kind of rope is that the more you struggle, the tighter it becomes. The zebra was very angry and started to kick its hooves wildly...
Qiao Jinnian covered her face and said that this was the first time she tried this hunting method. She could only say silently in her heart: Sorry, the children at home need to eat!
After catching the zebra, Qiao Jinnian didn't dare to ride on it as planned. The zebra was completely crazy and looked very dangerous.
So she could only wait on the side, waiting for the zebra to tire itself out.
After waiting for about an hour, the zebra was completely exhausted and could only sigh and hiss in place, making a hissing sound from its mouth.
Until he saw a strange two-legged beast, pulling a rope in its hand, and then looked down at the rope on its feet.
Zebra: “…” I was wondering what was going on. It turns out it was this biped who did it!
"Wheesh--" The zebra made an angry sound towards Qiao Jinnian. Although it was very tired, it still ran towards her.
Qiao Jinnian had no choice but to grab one end of the rope and lead the zebra back home. She didn't have to pull hard, the prey ran forward with her on its own.
Cape, who had accomplished his mission, just stared blankly at how the zebra was caught. It was another day of admiring his big brother's hunting skills!
Cape also followed the zebra, as if watching its prey and not letting it get away.
Everyone was running and chasing each other all the way, it was so lively.
After Qiao Jinnian ran back to the lion group's territory in one breath, he simply tied the zebra to the acacia tree.
At this point, the zebra was completely stunned, realizing that it had actually run into the lion's territory...
This time, the zebra became completely obedient. Knowing that he was going to die, he felt indifferent to life and death.
Nonsense, there are almost 20 lions standing in front of the zebra, and it is so scared that it dares not move...
Sister Sa looked at Qiao Jinnian speechlessly, then walked closer to the prey and asked her with her eyes, is this the cub's new friend?
Yes, Qiao Jinnian suddenly remembered that whenever she caught prey, such as guinea fowl or hares, the lions at home would not eat them because they thought they were her pets or friends and belonged to her.
But this time it’s different. There are 14 cubs in the family, and she is also the elder of the family. She has to raise the children. This is obviously the food stored for the family.
So, in order to clearly express that this was prey, Qiao Jinnian hardened his heart and stabbed the zebra's butt with a flint knife. Instantly, the prey felt pain and ran forward, making a "hissing" sound from its mouth, but was pulled back by the hemp rope while running.
Seeing that Qiao Jinnian actually stabbed the prey, Sister Sa immediately understood that this was the prey caught for the family, not a friend.
The sub-adults found it very interesting. This was the first time they had seen live prey up close. Before, they could only watch their mother and grandmother hunting from afar. As long as lions approached herbivores, the herbivores would run away.
Wow, this sister (aunt) is so awesome!
