Chapter 209: Do not get up early if there is no profit
The drop of ‘heart blood’ found in the heart of a thousand-year-old mother made Zhou Xu curious about the animals in this world.
He began to pay attention to whether there was similar 'heart blood' in the hearts of other animals.
So far, the heart conditions of a series of animals including cows, horses, antelopes, rabbits, etc. have been looked at and nothing has been found.
This situation gave Zhou Xu a new idea.
[Is there something wrong with my thinking? Not every animal will have that kind of "hard work", but only powerful enough beasts can produce it? 】
Zhou Xu thought that his guess had some basis for the time being, so he told his subordinates to pay more attention to the traces of wild beasts outside.
This is also the main reason why Ye Jinghong gave all the corpses of other hungry wolves to Drogo and the others, but only brought back the corpse of the Wolf King.
Leaving the residence, they have specialized personnel in the village who are responsible for skinning and picking the meat.
It’s just that because of the fighting during the day, the internal post-war work was too busy. Everyone in the entire village was transferred to help. At this time, whether it was the recovered hyena corpses, The corpse of the Wolf King hadn't even had time to be disposed of yet.
They had just finished dinner, and they were not yet sleepy. They were wondering which one to deal with first, when Zhou Xu came.
"Dispose of the body of the Wolf King first."
"Yes!"
With a response, the two masters quickly started working.
During this process, Zhou Xu subconsciously looked for traces of Chitose.
After all, the first drop of his 'hard work' that he discovered had gone into this little guy's stomach.
If a second drop is found, Zhou Xu has not yet decided whether to feed it to Chitose, so he still has to be careful.
But I don’t know if he has gradually reached a ‘wild’ age. Recently, Chitose has not been as clingy as when he was a child. He has begun to let go of his nature and run wild. I don’t know where he is now.
However, Zhou Xu is not worried. This little guy is still smart and knows where home is. He estimates that he will be back to sleep in about an hour.
Open the stomach and remove the internal organs first as always.
After what happened before, their entire actions seemed much more cautious.
"Chief, do you want to cut it open?"
After carefully removing the heart of the wolf king, the villager who was responsible for handling the prey carcass asked aloud.
“Cut it open.”
Without hesitation, Zhou Xu gave the answer directly.
The villager who received the permission nodded, took a pottery bowl from beside him and held it underneath.
Then he held the heart in one hand and carefully cut it open with a knife in the other.
A lot of blood spilled during this period, but those were not the 'hard work' he had seen before.
The 'hard work' is said to be blood, but in fact it gives Zhou Xu a completely different visual sense. It is closer to the texture of a liquid gem, like a drop of flowing ruby.
【It seems that the Wolf King is gone. 】
[However, that beast was so powerful that it was completely beyond the level of ordinary beasts, and only a drop of 'hard work' was left. This wolf king obviously did not reach that level. 】
After confirming that the Wolf King had no ‘hard work’, Zhou Xu undoubtedly lost interest in him all of a sudden.
When they finished disposing of the body of the Wolf King, the day's work was basically over.
Back at his own place, the little guy Chitose had already crawled under the quilt, but he was not asleep. At this moment, he was looking at him with a pair of big round eyes.
"You kid, did you know that there was nothing on the Wolf King, so you didn't go at all?"
"Ouch~" Chitose, who was not sure whether he understood the question or not, rolled on the bed.
This is not to say that Zhou Xu is wronging him. Recently, he has found more and more that this little guy is a typical unprofitable person who does not get up early.
But after thinking about it, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
It is the instinct of living things to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Not to mention that Chitose is just an animal, even humans are no exception.
Under this premise, it is very simple and clear to do things that are beneficial and not do things that are not beneficial.
"Forget it, let's go to sleep."
After lighting the stove and raising the temperature in the room, he was ready to go to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Zhou Xu exhaled a long breath.
He felt that this day was really too long. It had only been a day since he was attacked by the saber-toothed tiger in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, no more accidents happened that night, allowing Zhou Xu to sleep until dawn.
Woke up early in the morning and after breakfast, their village quickly entered a busy state.
There are still too many things to do. Because Zhou Xu has consumed a lot of mantra power, he still focuses on resting at the moment. The work in the village has basically fallen to Li Ce. He also had no leisure at all.
As for Ye Jinghong and Zhou Chongshan.
Following his instructions, Ye Jinghong went to contact Drogo and asked them to move the Centaur clan to the Prairie Village first for garrisoning.
Zhou Chongshan, on the other hand, was taken by another soldier and set off to Black Moon Village to recover from his injuries.
During this period, Zhou Xu, who had just woken up, although he mainly wanted to rest, if he were to continue sleeping now, he would definitely not be able to sleep.
So he also took the two of them to the frozen river.
"You guys, use stones to smash the ice on the river."
According to the news that Ye Jinghong brought back before, if their terms are agreed, the Centaurs will come If they are stationed in the village, then the other party's food will definitely need to be supplied by them.
Under this premise, the food in the village, which was already not plentiful, has undoubtedly become more tense.
Considering this, Zhou Xu undoubtedly had to think of some way in advance to add some food supplements to the village.
The fish in the nearby river has become his first choice now.
After smashing the frozen river surface, the villagers cast their fishing nets, and he didn't need to worry about the next thing.
Half a day passed quietly. Amidst the snowflakes blowing in the wind, Ye Jinghong led the centaur clan headed by Drogo and appeared on the outskirts of their village.
After receiving the news from the sentry, in order to show his importance to the centaur clan, Zhou Xu rode directly to the outside of the village to greet him.
"Drogo, welcome to our village."
Drogo actually has a rough idea of the location of Prairie Village, but considering their relationship and some common sense The problem is that he has always consciously avoided this area to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings to both of them.
This is really the first time to be so close.
At one glance, I was immediately shocked by the size of the prairie village.
Obviously, in the context of this primitive era, from the perspective of primitive people, the scale of the prairie village can only be described as incredible.
They could not imagine that the camp could be like this.
What Zhuo Ge didn’t know at this time was that in terms of scale, the Prairie Village, which basically existed only as a military stronghold, was simply not comparable to the Black Moon Village and Huangshan Village that were serious about development, or even Nothing beats Salt Lake Village!
It is the least developed among the several villages under Zhou Xu's command.
