Chapter 154 Bull Temper
After returning to the camp, Zhou Xu gave some instructions while everyone was eating, then went back into the tent and habitually fiddled with the cub that was still sleeping soundly there.
After a few days, the young animal's hair became thicker and it seemed to have grown bigger, but at the same time, it showed no signs of waking up.
He scratched its chin like petting a cat, and the young animal twisted its body in its sleep. Its originally restrained sleeping posture suddenly became sprawled out, which made Zhou Xu laugh, and then he couldn't help but yawn.
Different from Zhou Chongshan, Ye Jinghong and others.
After going through the previous mission, although they were still very tired, they would definitely not be able to fall asleep in the short term.
But Zhou Xu was different. Because he had consumed a lot of mantra power, his head was dizzy and it was not difficult for him to fall asleep.
A new day began, and his biological clock woke him up on time. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to turn around and check on the condition of the cub.
Yeah. Still sleeping.
Ignoring it, Zhou Xu walked out of the tent and stretched, not rushing to see the three bison.
Yesterday before going to bed, he asked someone to put some fresh water in a ceramic dish for them. As long as they have water to drink, they will not starve to death even if they go hungry for a few days.
On this day, his condition was obviously much better, and he could feel that his brain was starting to speed up.
While eating breakfast, Zhou Xu was thinking about the current situation and subconsciously thought of the saber-toothed tiger they encountered on their way back.
[I have never encountered such a large beast in that area before. Did it move here recently? ]
As this thought came to his mind, Zhou Xu subconsciously thought of the baby's mother, and he had a guess...
[Among the wild beasts, this grassland area was originally the territory of the beast. When the beast was alive, other predators did not dare to approach it easily. But now that the beast died unexpectedly, the beasts from other areas moved here? ]
At this time, Zhou Xu's idea can be said to be very reasonable.
They now live in this grassland area, so they must pay more attention to this issue.
During dinner yesterday, he had already found an opportunity to talk to the tribal members at the grassland camp about the saber-toothed tiger.
After some analysis in his mind, he quickly gave everyone some instructions.
The presence of ferocious beasts like this in their living area is undoubtedly a threat to them.
After breakfast, Zhou Xu, who was still taking a break, changed a basket of hay and walked slowly to the three bison.
If they could nibble on some grass on their way back, they haven't eaten a single bite of grass since they were tied here.
It is impossible for them not to be hungry. What is preventing them from eating right now is their vigilance towards the humans in front of them.
Zhou Xu believed that if he left the fodder there and turned around and left without taking care of it, when he came back the next morning, the fodder in the basket would most likely be gone.
But he didn't want to do that.
If he is not in a hurry and just wants to keep a pet or something, it doesn't matter.
But the problem now is that his matter is quite urgent!
To do this, he must speed up his efficiency appropriately.
To put it bluntly, he now wanted to use the pressure of food to force the three bison to get close to him and compromise with him in disguised form.
But these cows are indeed stubborn enough that after a whole morning, they are still holding on.
Fortunately, Zhou Xu was recuperating during this period, so he didn't need to worry about wasting time.
At the same time, a sunshade had been built in advance for the place where he was sitting. After that, Zhou Xu simply prepared an armchair for himself, collapsed there, with his eyes half open and half closed, his mind empty, and he went straight into a state of dozing and meditation.
Maintaining this state, a morning passed quietly.
During this process, although the mother bison, who had stronger physical fitness, could still hold on, the two bison cubs were obviously unable to hold on and began to tentatively walk towards the basket of hay.
Zhou Xu, who noticed the movement here, slowly opened his eyes, but other than that, he didn't make any more movements.
The two bison stopped for a moment when they noticed his eyes were open, but eventually they walked to the grass, sniffed it, and began to eat it voraciously.
Needless to say, they were extremely hungry.
During this period, the bison mother felt complicated when looking at her two unfortunate children.
Originally, it could still tolerate it when no one wanted to eat it, but now, there is no point in it enduring it!
Looking at the three bison that approached one after another and then immersed themselves in eating their food, Zhou Xu smiled.
At the same time, he turned around and gave instructions to the member of the Ministry of Agriculture next to him...
"For the next few days, you don't need to do anything else. Just follow this method. But you have to pay attention. When people show up, fodder appears. When people leave, the fodder must be taken away regardless of whether they have eaten it or not! They can only eat when we are present and under our noses!"
The domestication of bison requires a lot of time and energy. Zhou Xu obviously doesn't have that much time and is wasting it here every day.
Although Zhenyan's power has not yet fully recovered, after a period of rest, he has basically regained the strength to act, so naturally he has to do something.
The task of training and raising bison here was handed over to the members of the Ministry of Agriculture assigned here.
The core purpose of his instructions at this time was to tie them and the food together. When they appeared, the food appeared; when they left, the food left with them.
For animals with limited brains, food is the easiest thing to understand, so if you want to train them, you naturally have to start with food! The next goal is to make the three bison completely accustomed to their presence. Once the grass is put up, they will eat it immediately and no longer be wary of them. This goal will be achieved, and then the next stage of the plan will be launched.
Of course, it would still take some time to complete this stage, so Zhou Xu didn't say too much at once and planned to confirm the situation after he came back next time.
That’s right, tomorrow morning, he planned to take Ye Jinghong, Zhou Chongshan and others out to catch bison.
After all, at this stage, the two bison cubs are of no use at all and there are still others to be raised.
But apart from the two young bison, the transportation capacity that an adult bison alone could provide for them was really very limited.
According to Zhou Xu's idea, their tribe must have at least ten ox carts to meet their current needs for transportation capacity and efficiency.
Update is here, thanks to book friend '我要喝煤哗' for the reward!
