Raising the fence was not as quick as expected, not only because raising it higher required a series of tasks such as building scaffolding and hauling mud, but also because of another major reason: this group of deer.
When the population is small, it is inconvenient to do anything, even raising deer.
If there were only one or two, feeding them would not be a problem for the Qingque tribe, but now there are more than twenty of them.
Not to mention other things, the daily consumption of grass alone is not a small number. It requires at least seven people to harvest grass for them just to feed these big eaters.
And it’s the kind of collection that doesn’t allow for laziness.
This is undoubtedly a huge burden for the Qingque tribe today.
Even under Han Cheng's orders, the eldest brother and others used rapeseed to lure out an old deer and secretly slaughtered it for meat, but the pressure on the tribe to feed the deer did not decrease.
Moreover, after the spring began, the rabbits that had been listless for the whole winter began to get excited. Because of the increase in "exercise", their appetites increased, and as more and more little rabbits were born, the demand for grass began to increase.
This further increased the burden on the people in the tribe.
After the grass near the tribe was harvested, if they wanted to harvest the same amount of grass again, they would need to go to a farther place.
This means that more effort is required and the chances of encountering dangerous situations will also increase significantly.
Han Cheng was at a loss as to what to do about this matter. He had not expected that what was originally a very good thing for the tribe would turn out like this.
He had considered letting the deer roam free, but he was always hesitant. He had coaxed and tricked the deer into coming back with great difficulty, and he had paid a lot for it.
The deer pen was built better than the place where the people of the Green Bird tribe lived. If these guys were released now, they would run away without looking back, leaving the deer pen empty. Han Cheng couldn't even find a place to reason with them.
After careful consideration, Han Cheng finally chose to succumb to reality and decided to let the deer roam free.
However, some compromise measures were taken, which was to tie up the deer with a rope.
At first it was tied around the neck, but Han Cheng quickly changed this practice because if it was tied too loosely it would easily fall off, while if it was tied too tightly it would affect Mr. Deer's breathing.
If you don't pull hard, you can't control it. If you pull hard, it will be strangled and stick out its tongue.
Uncle Deer looked at Han Cheng with dissatisfaction, and Han Cheng was also looking at it.
It was looking at Han Cheng's hand holding the rope, but Han Cheng was looking at its nostrils.
Uncle Deer, who didn't understand what was going on, was very angry about the little two-legged creature's attempt to tie him up. He stuck out his tongue and licked his nostrils. Perhaps he felt the taste was not very good, so he sneezed twice and shook his head at the same time.
Han Cheng thought about it and decided not to touch Uncle Lu's nose.
In addition to the fact that the distance between the two nostrils is too small and is not suitable for nose rings, another important reason is that nostril piercing is too painful.
After such a long period of contact, Han Cheng has developed feelings for this rather spiritual deer, and he does not want to treat it in such a cruel way.
After thinking about it, I can only start from the top.
You can't just use a rope to make a noose and put it on Uncle Lu's head, as that would easily leave bloody marks on his face. After all, Uncle Lu makes a living by his face.
What Han Cheng was making was something called a "plywood" in his hometown in his previous life.
This thing was originally used for cows.
As the calf grows older, it is tied up with a "splint" to prevent it from going out into the fields to eat crops.
As for the nose rings, generally only those cattle that are sure to stay and become working cattle will be pierced with them.
Generally, calves that are sold for meat are not given nose rings.
This kind of "splint" is also easy to make. You just need to split a wooden stick that is about 12 or 13 centimeters long and 2 or 3 centimeters in diameter in the middle, and then use a hand drill to drill a hole at each end to pass the rope through.
When using it, first pass the two pieces of wood through a rope, then place them on the deer's face, one on the left and one on the right. After fixing them, tie the splint with a long rope.
Just pull the rope and the deer will follow you.
In this way, all the previous disadvantages can be avoided.
While ensuring that the deer can be controlled, it can also prevent it from being harmed and protect its beautiful appearance.
The old deer, who was coaxed by Han Cheng again with his wife's milk, shook his head from time to time. Sometimes he lowered his head, twisted his buttocks, and scratched his face with his hind legs, trying to get rid of this troublesome thing.
It’s a pity that it has only two hooves and cannot move freely, so it can’t get rid of the things Han Cheng tied to it.
Uncle Lu looked at Han Cheng with resentment, and kept rubbing his face against Han Cheng's hand, wanting Han Cheng to take off this uncomfortable thing. In the end, Han Cheng hardened his heart and did not take it off.
It took about two days for Uncle Deer to gradually get used to this thing.
Han Cheng took Tietou and a few others out to release the deer.
Only Uncle Deer was tied with a rope and led in the hands. He was the leader of the deer herd. As long as he was controlled, the rest of the deer would follow.
Han Cheng found that he was wrong. He should not have come out to release the deer. This was not releasing the deer at all. It was clearly the deer releasing him!
Revenge! This guy is just seeking revenge!
Han Cheng, who was unable to stand as Uncle Lu held his neck, was panting and wanted to curse.
Uncle Deer was in a very good mood, because he could finally leave the deer pen where he had lived for half a winter, run outside and breathe freely.
Another reason is that it can take revenge on this hateful little two-legged beast.
Uncle Deer lowered his head and took two bites of the lush and juicy young grass. Then he turned his head to look at the little two-legged beast who was holding the rope and panting. He swung his tail behind him and ran away gracefully with his long legs.
Han Cheng couldn't hold on any longer and was dragged away again.
Fu Jiang, this silly dog, thought that this was just a joke and ignored Han Cheng's words to stop the damn deer. He followed the deer around, running happily back and forth. Han Cheng was so angry that he wanted to eat dog meat in the evening.
Uncle Deer ran for a while and then stopped. He swung his tail and ate the grass leisurely. He was as happy as he could be.
It now thinks that tying a rope on its head is actually a good idea, at least it is good for walking the little bipeds.
