"Can't we eat oriole meat?" Qiu Ying asked, because she really didn't understand. She was afraid that there were some taboos, or that this kind of meat was the same as winged rats and so on, so it couldn't be used as food.
"It's edible. The meat of the oriole is delicious. However, we have never thought about killing the oriole. We all think that it would be better to kill large beasts than to waste so much energy."
The one who spoke was not Qiu Yan, but Qiu Sen.
When Qiu Sen heard Qiu Ying's words, he came over, sat down opposite her, wiped the sweat from his face, and said with bright eyes: "Tell me again, what do you think?"
Qiu Ying looked puzzled and asked: "What do you need to think about? I was spotted by the oriole. Although this kind of bird is small, it can be eaten in large quantities. If you hunt for a month, the number will be considerable. Besides, they
If you don't hold grudges, they will rush over in a steady stream without us having to hunt them down, which will save trouble!"
"She is indeed his daughter, she is so smart!" Qiu Sen exclaimed, looking at Qiu Ying, it was as if he was looking at another person he admired through her.
Qiu Ying had an intuition that what he was talking about was not Qiu Meilin, but the biological father of this body.
However, Qiu Ying is not interested in knowing that the reason why she can admit Qiu Meilin is because she needs to hide in Qiujiazhuang. Moreover, this woman can capture her mother's warmth. Even if she is now darkened, she will still be greedy for that feeling.
With Qiu Ying's suggestion, it was like opening a window to a new world for Qiu Sen and others, allowing them to see a new world. Suddenly, the crisis turned into an opportunity.
After the stone blocking the hole was removed, everyone saw a large number of oriole, surging like a yellow cloud under the sunlight, and their chirping sounds were heard.
"Brothers, kill me!"
Qiu Sen was so excited that he no longer looked like a wolf scurrying around just now. He led half of his team members to rush out, like wolves and tigers, and swung his sword to kill the birds.
Suddenly, the flock of birds went crazy. One by one, they swooped down and fought with Qiu Sen and the others in an extremely violent manner. Pieces of dead birds fell down, and more oriole rushed down.
The remaining Qiu Yan and others followed Qiu Ying's instructions, gathered up the dead birds on the ground, dragged them back to the cave, and began to collect these birds, which were not much bigger than sparrows.
Qiu Ying added: "The oriole meat can be eaten, and the bird feathers are good things. They can be used as cotton when collected, and the internal organs can also be used as bait, whether for fishing or digging traps."
"This little bird is full of treasures?" Qiu Yan said happily, and asked everyone to gather the feathers into a pile and the internal organs into another pile when cleaning up the oriole.
"I'm going to find a place to dig traps. If I dig more, I might be able to harvest something tomorrow. If I eat too much oriole meat, I'll get tired of it." Qiu Ying looked at the oriole meat and couldn't help showing some disgust.
When she said the first half of her words, everyone smiled approvingly. When she finished, everyone was speechless... What are you thinking? It would be nice to have something to eat in winter, and you are tired of eating meat. You
Why not go to heaven?
Qiu Yan was also stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay, I will count on you, lest I get tired of the oriole meat. Let's go, I will dig traps with you."
"I'll go dig alone." Qiu Ying said, not wanting to bring a burden with her.
However, Qiu Yan said: "Uncle, let me go with you. Just tell me how to make this trap. Let me do the rough work. Just watch."
After hearing this, Qiu Ying felt a little warm in her heart. Not to mention touched, at least she recognized Qiu Yan and classified him as one of her own.
Others don't have any objections. If you follow Qiu Ying's advice and dig some traps to get more harvest, it will be a good thing.
Qiu Yan took Qiu Ying and walked deep into the cave, reaching the deepest crack in the gourd-shaped cave and climbing up along the interlocking cracks in the mountain.
The crack in this mountain is not big, the narrowest part is less than half a meter, and it is very steep. It was really a technical job to climb up.
After the people from Qiujiazhuang occupied this cave, they dug a hole in the rock wall. Using the intertwined rocks, they carved a natural stone ladder, which was quite easy to climb up.
There were several stone slabs blocking the exit above. Qiu Yan was very strong, and it was difficult to lift the stone slab above his head. The veins on his neck bulged.
Qiu Ying was below, using a jade bamboo to push open the stone slab.
"You are so awesome!" Qiu Yan praised, climbed out, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, are all the oriole in Mishan Mountain flying here?"
In the sky above, like a flock of oriole billowing with yellow clouds, they are all flying towards here, and the chirping of birds sounds like a magic sound.
The exit of the crack in the mountain is slanted towards the inner perimeter of Mishan Mountain, and is already quite far away from the entrance of the cave where the battle between man and bird took place.
The attention of all the birds in the sky was directed towards the entrance of the cave, but Qiu Yan's basket on his back contained fresh oriole offal. He was really afraid that as soon as he went out, the birds would find him and rush over to attack him frantically.
"Hurry up!" Qiu Ying urged, and directly used the jade bamboo pole to kill him on the basket on his back, and then killed him with the basket on his back and threw him far away.
Bang!
Qiu Yan smashed his backpack into a lush bush, just in time to avoid a group of oriole passing by at low altitude.
Qiu Ying also jumped out and restored the stone slab. In a flash, she landed on a rock in the bushes. Looking up into the distance, she could see a vaguely visible millet valley.
She didn't know what millet was, but when that thing appeared in her field of vision, relevant memories emerged automatically. She couldn't help but ask: "The millet in the mountains is ripe, right? It should be an ownerless thing. Why don't we cut it?"
Qiu Yan subconsciously said: "The wild millet in Millet Mountain is food for oriole, they don't let people..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly thought that his old thinking had changed. Now their hunting team was preparing to use oriole meat as food reserve, and they were about to fight to the death with the oriole flock in Milishan Mountain. There was no other millet grain that could not be harvested.
of?
He immediately changed his mind: "You are so smart. This is a good idea! After we dig the trap, I will tell the captain and ask him to send someone back to the village to get the sickle. He can harvest some millet and make up for the poor rice harvest.
It’s a loss.”
"..."
Qiu Ying was really speechless. She came up with such a simple idea. How smart is that?
No wonder the people in Qiujiazhuang starve as soon as winter comes. It’s because they are completely stupid that they guard the treasure mountain and become beggars!
However, she soon realized that she had overestimated the problem, and there was a reason why the hunting team did not hunt those millet grains.
Qiu Yan continued: "We can only harvest the scattered millet grains at the junction of the outer and inner perimeters. We cannot cross the border, otherwise we will not be able to get out."
Chapter completed!
