Chapter 110 Subsequent Arrangements
The unexpected stupidity of the pheasant made Zhou Xu laugh.
Wang Chuan and the others couldn't help laughing and started laughing too. For a moment, the whole camp was filled with laughter.
After laughing almost enough, Zhou Xu coughed twice.
"Anyway, that's pretty much it. If you cut off the tip of a pheasant's wing, it will basically be unable to fly."
Zhou Xu had never raised pheasants. At most, he had helped his grandmother feed a few old hens at home in the countryside.
Of course, the specific work content is limited to scattering the leftovers on the ground, and that’s it.
Under this premise, the reason why Zhou Xu understood this piece of knowledge was the same as the reason why he knew some knowledge related to rabbit breeding before.
That is, he wanted to have a pet before, and he studied all kinds of animals that could fly in the sky, run on the ground, or swim in the water.
He has not studied pheasants, but he has studied parrots and munias.
After some research, he felt that raising birds was too noisy and there was also the problem of feather dust. He also had rhinitis, so he successfully persuaded himself to give up.
But before that, he did a lot of related homework.
So it is known that many people who keep parrots and munias choose to trim their feathers in order to ensure that their pets will not fly away without being noticed.
That is to say, the feathers at the very end of the wings are cut off. In this way, they can basically not fly, and at most they can only flap a few times in the air.
At the same time, doing so will not cause harm to your pet.
So, Zhou Xu was thinking at that time, since they are all flying birds, the structure of their wings must be similar.
Parrots and munias, birds that have excellent flying abilities, lose their ability to fly after their feathers are clipped. So what about pheasants, which have poor flying abilities to begin with, which have to become ground chickens after their feathers are clipped?
As it turns out, this is indeed the case.
For Wang Chuan and his colleagues, this was undoubtedly a new discovery.
To be honest, in their hearts, Wang Luchong, as their leader, is already like a god.
Although he is dead now, and they had no choice but to submit to the new leader in order to survive, this does not affect Wang Luchong's position in their hearts.
No one thought that the problems that their previous leader had failed to solve could be solved by the new leader.
But now, the reality is right in front of us.
He didn’t know what other tribal members were thinking now, but Wang Chuan himself was feeling very complicated at the moment.
During this period, Zhou Xu didn't have many thoughts. After arranging this matter, he quickly shifted his attention to the fence.
"Wang Chuan, you just said that you built fences before? Are those fences still there now?"
"Here I am."
Wang Chuan nodded quickly.
As he was talking, Wang Chuan led Zhou Xu to the outskirts of the camp, where they saw fences standing on the edge, looking as if they were planning to enclose the entire camp.
Zhou Xu was speechless after watching this scene.
He could roughly guess what Wang Luchong was thinking at the time.
That is, the fence has already been built. If we take it down, wouldn’t that be a sheer waste of time and labor?
If you don't plan to tear it down, then just use it to surround the camp. By surrounding it in a circle, it can at least improve the camp's defense capabilities.
From the perspective of not wasting time and labor, and improving the defensive capabilities of the camp, there is actually nothing wrong with what he did.
But Zhou Xu still has to say that this guy really likes to do useless things.
Not to mention that this thin fence can only improve the defense a little bit, let’s just talk about the development of the tribal camp.
You know, in the early stages, the tribal camp is the fastest growing period.
Simply put, their camp may have to expand after a while, or even expand every day.
At this critical juncture, why not build a fence to surround your camp?
Wouldn’t rounding off hinder the expansion and development of the camp?
This is undoubtedly a stupid thing to do.
With a speechless mood, Zhou Xu walked forward and checked the strength of the fence with his hand.
The fence itself was made from sanded branches that were then tied together with ropes.
He had nothing much to say about using branches. Judging from the current conditions, this was indeed a suitable choice. He mainly observed the ropes for binding.
As mentioned before, if you want to use ropes to fix and tie these branches firmly, this actually requires some skills and it is not something that can be done casually.
A common problem with tying something poorly is that it tends to become loose.
Once the fence becomes loose, the gaps between the branches will become larger and easier to squeeze through. The pheasants kept inside may be able to escape. At the same time, some animals outside may also come in and harm their pheasants.
"Wang Chuan, arrange some people to dismantle all these fences and tie them up again."
If he wanted to save effort and just use the existing fences to build walls directly, he would soon be faced with the need to carry out large-scale repairs and renovations on these fences.
Rather than tearing it down and rebuilding it later, he would rather start tearing it down now and save some trouble.
Needless to say, this is where he is different from Wang Luchong.
Wang Chuan was somewhat unable to understand their new leader's request, but in this era, he obviously would not choose to resist. Instead, he obediently followed the instructions of their new leader and arranged things.
Afterwards, Zhou Xu undoubtedly also asked about some potential risks of raising chickens in the open air with fences.
The most critical factor is undoubtedly whether other wild animals around will come to steal their chickens.
You work so hard to raise chickens, but before you even have a chance to eat them, they are stolen and eaten by the wild animals around them. This is undoubtedly a very annoying thing.
Faced with this question, Wang Chuan nodded.
"Yes, although after we set up our camp, the animals on the mountain chose to stay away from this area, but from time to time, some animals would still approach our camp when it was dark, because there was food outside the camp."
Speaking of this, Wang Chuan's tone was filled with helplessness.
"Outside the camp, the vegetables planted in the fields were often eaten up, and even the entire field was turned into a mess. In addition, the chickens in the chicken coop were also bitten to death by animals from the mountains."
"Later, we had no choice but to send someone to guard the chicken coop at night and send someone else to patrol the fields."
The campsite is located in an area frequented by wild animals, which is unavoidable.
Sending people to patrol and guard is the best solution for now.
