Chapter 47 Tracking the Proboscis Horse

The wedding of Jianya and Hongyu ended in the envious eyes of the people. People didn't know what changes this wedding would bring to their future.

The emergence of the family is the beginning of private ownership. In ancient times, the end of pairing marriage was the main factor for the disintegration of the clan commune system. Although Wang Lang and his small clan are not even counted as clan communes, as long as people want their families to live better Well, children grow stronger and stronger people get more things. This will cause a certain division of wealth in the tribe. Wang Lang also knows that if this problem is not handled properly, then this will undoubtedly bury a hole for himself. ticking time bomb.

Any great change will lead to social turmoil. People have transitioned from a primitive Datong society to a family-based private ownership society. If the living standards of most people are not as good as before, then those whose interests have been damaged will definitely rise up.

If Wang Lang wants to realize his ideals, he must let people get more benefits. Using the gods as an excuse can only be stable for a while. If he wants to develop for a long time, only by letting people get immediate benefits can everyone accept his various interests. reform.

A few days after the wedding, the sky was not beautiful, and it rained continuously for several days. Although the rain was not heavy, it still made the tribe muddy.

Due to the fact that they had hunted enough prey a few days ago and the weather, people did not go out to continue hunting. They stayed in the tribe and built houses with the women, and there was no place to shelter from the wind and rain above their heads. Ended up suffering.

After several days of hard work, two thatched houses of more than ten square meters were built on the open space in the center of the tribe. door to use.

Due to the small number of houses now, Wang Lang can only let people live separately for men and women for the time being.

In this drizzly weather, although the house has just been built and the mud on the walls is not yet dry, at least you don't have to endure the feeling of rain on your body if you stay inside.

In the house where the men were, Wu Yun said worriedly: "Lang, we are running out of salt, and it seems that we can only last for seven or eight days."

Wang Lan was silent for a while and said, "We'll go out to find salt when the rain stops, and we should be able to find it as long as we follow the animals here."

People sighed, everything is good in this place, but there is no salt mine, so they can't help but miss the salt field in the jungle.

"Patriarch, patriarch, those wolves are here again." A child who was playing outside ran in and said.

Wang Lang nodded to show that he understood, waved the child to go out to play by himself, and warned them not to provoke those wolves if they had nothing to do.

"Lang, do you want to kill them!" Huo asked.

These wolves have attracted these wolves since people threw the uneaten offal outside the fence. These wolves have been wandering around the tribe these days, waiting for the leftovers thrown out from the tribe. Although they did nothing Threatening gestures, but people still feel awkward with so many beasts out there.

Wang Lang was also a little worried at first, but after seeing these small wolves, he had an idea in his heart, this kind of animals should try to be domesticated, as long as they don't do anything that hurts humans, don't bother with them.

Wang Lang shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them."

Hearing what Wang Lang said, Huo didn't mind, those little beasts didn't threaten people's safety, and there wasn't much meat after killing them, they just looked a bit annoying.

The drizzle outside was still falling, until the next morning the hazy clouds dispersed, and the golden sun shone on the earth, announcing the arrival of a new day to people.

The rain stopped, and according to yesterday's plan, Wang Lang took four men out of the tribe early in the morning to look for salt mines. Wang Lang didn't see those wolves outside the tribe, so he didn't know where they went to look for food. up.

It is impossible to find salt mines by searching aimlessly. Wang Lang's plan is to track some herbivores. These animals must know where to find salt after living here for a long time.

This matter needs time and patience to complete. Before Wang Lang left the tribe, he told him that he would go out for at least seven or eight days. In order not to affect the life of the tribe, he only brought four people out.

An hour after leaving the tribe, Wang Lang and the others found their target, which was a group of strange-looking horses grazing in the distance. The group of horses in the distance had brown hair, and the most distinctive feature was their long hair. Although the noses are weirdly long, the mane on their necks and the ponytail made Wang Lang recognize that this is a horse, but this kind of horse is much smaller than the horses in that world.

The horse herd was very large. Wang Lang roughly estimated that there were more than 100 horses. These long-nosed horses grazing leisurely did not notice Wang Lang and others who were secretly observing them.

After the five people waited patiently for a long time, the horses finally left the area. Wang Lang and the others hurriedly followed, far behind the horses.

After walking along the river for several hours, the horses stopped to continue grazing.

Looking at the stopped horses, the five people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This kind of tracking is really tiring. It doesn't matter to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times, but also to keep up with the speed of the horses. This kind of intensity of movement is difficult for humans. To be honest, it was a bit difficult.

The five people sat in the grass, enduring the sun exposure, chewing the roasted jerky, all a little downcast, not knowing when this stalking would end.

"Lang, are we going to keep following like this?" Wu Yun asked.

"Well, that's the only way to go. Let's continue to follow. It's impossible for these grass-eating animals not to eat salt." Wang Lang said while picking up the grasshopper lying on his body.

As the night fell, the horse herds in the distance never left, and a few people could only light up a few fires, so that the night watchman could observe the movements of the horse herds, and the others took every time to rest. The first day of tracking It's a bit overwhelming for people. If you don't nourish your energy, you will not be able to persist in the next day.

In the grassland at night, the howls of various beasts resounded through the night sky. People on duty at night can occasionally see pairs of green eyes walking through the grass. These night hunters came out to hunt in the cool night after avoiding the sunlight of the day. Food.

Due to the existence of the fire, although there were several pairs of eyes staring at this place, they went to look for other prey after only a few glances. Everyone on duty at night was very nervous and did not dare to let the fire go out for a moment. The greatest protection in this perilous night.

There was a commotion in the horse herd in the distance. I don’t know what animal was attacking. After a few wailings, the rioting horse herd returned to calm. Facing the death of their companions, these long-nosed horses would not even look at them after they were safe. At a glance, they know that predators will naturally leave after they are full. The law of survival of the fittest in nature is vividly reflected in this grassland night. Killing and death are everywhere.
