Chapter 154: Bull-tempered
Back at the camp, while everyone was eating, Zhou Xu gave some instructions, then got back into the tent, and played with it out of habit, which was still sleeping there. of cubs.
A few days passed, and the cub's hair became thicker, and it felt as if it had grown a little bigger, but at the same time, it showed no tendency to wake up.
He scratched its chin like a cat. In his sleep, the cub twisted its body. The originally restrained sleeping posture suddenly became spread out, making Zhou Xu He couldn't help but laugh, and then he couldn't help but yawn.
Different from Zhou Chongshan, Ye Jinghong and others.
After experiencing the previous mission, although they are still very tired now, they will definitely not be able to sleep in a short time.
But Zhou Xu is different. Because he has consumed a lot of mantra power, his mind is groggy, and it is not difficult for him to fall asleep.
On a new day, his biological clock woke him up on time. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to turn his head to check the condition of the cub.
Yeah. Still sleeping.
Ignoring it, Zhou Xu stretched himself out of the tent and was not in a hurry to see the three bison.
Yesterday before going to bed, he temporarily asked someone to put some fresh water in an earthenware plate for them. As long as they have water to drink, they will not starve to death for several days.
On this day, his condition was obviously much better, and he could feel that his brain was starting to spin.
While eating breakfast, Zhou Xu was thinking about the current situation, and at the same time, he subconsciously thought of the saber-toothed tiger they encountered on the way back.
【I have never encountered a large beast like that in that area before. Did it just move here recently? 】
As this idea arose, Zhou Xu subconsciously thought of the mother of the cub, and made a guess...
[Among the beast group, this grassland area was originally the territory of the beast. When the beast was alive, other predators did not dare to approach easily. But now that beast died unexpectedly, so the beasts from other areas moved over. Already? 】
Zhou Xu’s idea at this time can be said to be very reasonable.
They are now living in this grassland area, and they must pay more attention to this issue.
During dinner yesterday, he had already found an opportunity to tell the tribe members at the grassland camp about the saber-toothed tiger.
Now that there was a burst of analysis in his mind, he quickly warned everyone again.
There are beasts like this in the living area, which is undoubtedly a threat to them.
After breakfast, Zhou Xu, who was still taking a break for himself, bought a new basket of fodder and walked slowly to the three bison.
If they could have nibbled a few mouthfuls of grass on the way back, then since they were tied here, they have not eaten a single bite of grass.
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 put the fodder there and then turned around and left without caring about it, if 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 keeps a pet or something, it doesn't matter.
But the problem now is that he is quite urgent about this matter!
For this reason, he must speed up some efficiency appropriately. He now put it bluntly that he wanted to use the pressure of food to force the three bison to approach him in disguise and compromise with him.
However, these cows are really stubborn. One morning passed, and they continued to hold on.
Fortunately, Zhou Xu himself was recuperating during this period, so there was no need to worry about wasting time.
At the same time, where he is sitting now, a shade shed has been built in advance. After that, Zhou Xuzai simply made a chair for himself, and he slumped there, with his eyes half open and half closed. , emptied his mind, and directly entered a state of false sleep and meditation.
Maintaining this state, the whole morning passed quietly.
During this process, although the mother bison, who was in stronger physical condition, could still hold on, the two little bisons obviously couldn’t hold on any longer and began to move tentatively toward the place where the fodder was placed. basket and walked away.
Zhou Xu, who noticed the movement here, slowly opened his eyes, but other than that, he made no more movements.
The two young bison who noticed that his eyes were open paused for a moment, but finally walked to the forage, and after smelling it, they ate hungrily.
Needless to say, they were both starving.
During this period, looking at her two unlucky children, the bison mother felt complicated.
Originally, it could tolerate it even though no one would eat it, but now it still tolerates it!
Looking at the three bison who approached one after another and then ate their food, Zhou Xu showed a smile.
At the same time, he turned to the member of the Ministry of Agriculture next to him and warned...
"You don’t need to do anything else in the next few days, just follow this method. , but what you have to pay attention to is that when people appear, fodder appears, and people leave, no matter whether they eat it or not, the fodder must be taken away! They can only eat it in our presence and under our noses!"< br>
The domestication of bison requires a lot of time and energy. Zhou Xu obviously doesn't have that much time and spends it here every day.
Although the power of the mantra has not been completely restored, after a period of rest, he has basically gained the energy to act, and naturally he has to do things.
The work of training bison here is left to the members of the Ministry of Agriculture assigned here.
The core purpose of his instructions at this time is to tie them with food. When they appear, the food appears, and when they leave, the food also leaves.
For animals with limited brains, food is the best thing to understand, so if you want to train them, you must naturally start with food!
The next goal is to make the three bison completely accustomed to their existence. As soon as the fodder is put up, they will eat it immediately and no longer be wary of them. In this way, the goal is achieved, and then the next step can be started. stage plan.
Of course, it will take some time to complete this stage, so Zhou Xu didn’t say too much at once and planned to wait to confirm the situation after his next trip back.
That's right, tomorrow morning, he planned to take Ye Jinghong and Zhou Chongshan out to capture bison.
After all, at this stage, the two young bison are of no use at all, and there are still others to raise.
But leaving aside the two young bison, the transportation capacity that one adult bison alone can provide them is really limited.
According to Zhou Xu's idea, their tribe must have more than ten ox carts to meet their current needs for transportation capacity and efficiency.
