Chapter 62 Come on,
it will take a lot of time to get all these live animals out, but Luo Chong is still worried about the wolves hiding in the forest. Who knows when they will come out to attack when people are not prepared.
In order to solve this hidden danger, Luo Chong took Rourou and Huishan to drag two Wanchi pigs to the edge of the forest. This can be regarded as easing the relationship with the wolves. I let you eat enough, you can't fight with me again.
Of course, this is not a long-term solution. Luo Chong is just a temporary compromise to buy time. As long as he is given a day, he will not mind fighting with the wolves again when all these livestock are brought back.
After more than an hour of tossing, all the scattered beast corpses outside were dragged back into the wall. It was midnight, but today happened to be a full moon night at the end of the month, so he didn't feel how dark it was around.
Half a night was spent fighting and working. Before, they were all nervous, but now that they were relaxed, they were exhausted. Luo Chong first arranged the shifts of guards, and asked several women to kill a pig for everyone's midnight snack. Each person had a large piece of barbecue, and unlimited broth. After eating, there was still a lot of work to do.
At the edge of the western forest, the wolves ate the food given by Luo Chong in frustration, and in the wall of the Han tribe, the tribesmen also ate delicious midnight snacks.
It has been three months since the beginning of winter. Every day, they had either dried meat or broth. Finally, they had a meal of fresh barbecue. Looking at the mountains of meat in the wall, everyone's face was filled with smiles, and the men also proudly boasted about how many gray wolves they had just killed and how much reward they could get.
After the meal, it was almost dawn. Luo Chong divided more than 70 adults into four teams. One team of 10 people took turns standing on the wall to guard and patrol. Another team of 20 people was responsible for repairing the wall and the animal pen. The remaining 40 people followed Luo Chong to the outside of the wall with tools.
There were copper shovels for digging, many ropes, hand saws for sawing cattle horns, and two thin copper sticks used to punch holes for wheels, which were now bent into two copper hooks by Luo Chong.
First, six people were arranged to use copper shovels to dig an upward slope on the north side of the artificial river. The slope was very narrow, only about 70 centimeters wide, and could only accommodate one livestock. Once it climbed the slope, it would not even be possible to turn around.
The other 30 people built wooden fences under Luo Chong's command. The wooden stakes were four meters long, and half of the strong and thick tree trunks were buried in the ground, with only two meters exposed on the ground. Then three layers of horizontal bars were tied horizontally. The aisle composed of two wooden fences faced the earth slope by the river. As long as the livestock below came up, they would enter this narrow wooden fence passage.
It took nearly three hours to finish all this. It was already dawn. Luo Chong asked the tribesmen to take a rest. He brought another basket of charcoal, built a temporary stove with red bricks, lit the charcoal in it, and inserted two copper hooks into the charcoal stove to heat it.
After making preparations, Luo Chong asked someone to bring a bundle of hay and used a rope to lure the animals in the river to the ramp.
These herbivores originally migrated everywhere to find food. The Han tribe’s residence was also one of their important feeding points in previous years. In addition to the desperate escape last night, they fell into this long ditch that was like a cage. They were cold, hungry, and frightened. They were already exhausted. At this time, a bundle of exquisite hay was hanging in front of them. Even if they were Liu Xiahui, they couldn’t resist the temptation of such delicious food.
The first one to be caught was an alpaca that looked like a plush toy, with long brown hair on its body, a bunch of messy hair in the shape of a killer on its head, and a side bangs in front of its head.
It is nearly two meters long, about 1.2 meters high at the shoulder, as big as a donkey, with a thin and long neck, but very light, weighing only about 150 pounds. Under its round sweater, it actually only has a thin and long body, and an adult can easily pick it up.
Alpacas are timid animals by nature, relatively docile, and easy to tame. Generally, they will run away at the first time when they encounter danger, but when this alpaca foolishly followed the grass to the wooden fence passage, it was too late to run away.
Luo Chong specially arranged six people to stand on both sides of the wooden fence with wooden sticks as thick as arms. As soon as the alpaca came up, they immediately used wooden sticks to stab the front and back of the alpaca to death, trapping it in the passage and unable to move, even turning around. Then someone put a rope around its neck and led it directly to the fence.
The alpaca was very scared, but its neck was tied and it couldn't run away. In addition, someone fed it grass, so it didn't resist violently.
The second bull that came up was not caught by the grass at all, but a bull that ran up by itself. It ran all the way into the passage and hit the thick tree stumps used to block it in front. Fortunately, the fence posts were buried deep, so they did not knock down the wooden fence.
Luo Chong did not give it a second chance to hit it, and directly punished it severely.
They had the bull sealed up with wooden sticks as thick as arms, and then tied two ropes to the two huge horns on top of its head. Three adult men pulled each rope tight to both sides, so that it could not turn its head. The bull kept struggling and shaking its body. Its eyes widened in fear as it looked at Luo Chong, who was holding a red-hot copper hook
and approaching step by step. Its breathing became more and more rapid, and its huge nostrils kept emitting white smoke. The next second , a deafening roar spread in all directions. The red-hot copper hook in Luo Chong's hand had burned through the septum between the bull's two nostrils. A puff of white smoke came out of the bull's nose, and the air was suddenly filled with the smell of burnt barbecue. The nerves in the septum in the middle of the bull's nose are the most developed, and a heavy blow can produce strong stimulation, not to mention a hole directly burned through by a red-hot copper hook. The intense pain almost made the bull faint. Luo Chong cannot be blamed for being cruel. He has no other choice. If he wants to tame these adult wild bulls, he can only use the method of nose rings. Moreover, nose rings were not invented by Luo Chong. If you want to blame someone, blame the ancients. If it were in modern times, nose rings would not be so cruel. However, the noses of the bulls would be pierced with steel nails when the bulls were still young. However, this was done under medical conditions. Luo Chong did not have anti-inflammatory drugs. He wanted to prevent the wounds on the bulls' noses from getting inflamed. He could only use this cruel method. While there was still a month of winter left, he hoped that their wounds could heal themselves. This season was the season with the least bacteria. With the addition of "high temperature disinfection", there should be no problem. In history, people invented nose rings as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and the time when humans tamed wild bulls was even earlier, so early that it is impossible to verify. There is a story in "Lüshi Chunqiu": An old domestic bull lost his temper. A strongman named Wu Huo came forward to wrestle with the old bull. As a result, he pulled the bull's tail off. The old bull still did not move, but a child was able to lead the bull away by its nose. Cows are huge, have sharp horns, have bad tempers, and often attack people violently. This story shows that even domesticated cows are so disobedient, let alone captured wild bulls. If you want to tame them, you must use the toughest means. ～ ～ ～ ～ ～ Please vote! Please vote!
