N-A-A Chapter 190
Chapter 190
"Didn't you find crocodiles or pythons?"
"The water is clear and deep, there are a lot of fish, and I think crocodiles and pythons don't really like lakes like this, they are more fond of mudflats and puddles. Even if they are close, they usually move on the shore.
Shen Bing nodded: "You come up quickly, I'll see if there are leeches on you." Lu
Zhe climbed up, there was really one on his body, but despite his efforts, it still failed to gnaw Lu Zhe's skin.
Lu Zhe took off the leech and threw it into the fire.
"What fish do you see?"
"There are many, there are about ten kinds of visible to the naked eye, but in fact there are definitely more than those, most of them can be eaten."
"So, this lake is really a treasure!"
Lu Zhe wiped his body with a rag: "There is a chance to clean up the pythons and crocodiles, this is our fish pond and reservoir."
"Do you want to kill them all?"
Lu Zhe muttered, "I will talk to them, if I can persuade them to leave, it is best, I really can't persuade them to kill them again." Although it is somewhat inhumane, there is no way around it.
Shen Bing nodded: "Hunting them can indeed improve the safety of the camp, otherwise visiting one from time to time, not to mention those little girls, I want to feel afraid." But will this not upset the ecological balance of the island?
Lu Zhe shook his head: "Although carnivores can hunt herbivores to maintain the ecological balance of the island, our existence can completely replace them." It is afraid that when herbivores multiply in large numbers, we will hunt them very hard.
"So I think it's better to keep some predators that pose a lower threat to human security." Otherwise, we may not hunt at the same rate as they reproduce.
Lu Zhe nodded: "Well, let's eat something and go back, don't let them wait in a hurry."
Shen Bing took out a piece of mutton and prepared to roast it hot and eat it with Lu Zhe, but Lu Zhe looked grim and made a silent gesture.
Found anything?
Lu Zhe pointed in one direction!
Shen Bing turned his head and looked:
"Chicken..."
Thirty meters away, on the dirt slope, stands a big flowered rooster!
The red crown and beautiful feathers, except for the brighter color, the appearance is no different from that of a large domestic rooster.
Shen Bing was stunned!
If she sees a pheasant in the mountains and forests, she is not surprised at all, but what do you say when she sees a domestic chicken?
"Who raised this?"
"Have you ever seen such a beautiful chicken?"
"That's..."
"Get it first, watch me shoot it!"
Saying that, Lu Zhe bent his bow and took an arrow and aimed at the big rooster.
And that's when he spotted another predator.
A figure appeared like lightning and pounced on the chicken!
The chicken was completely defenseless, and was immediately pressed under the body, flapping its wings and shouting "oooo
Lu Zhe and Shen Bing both saw it clearly.
Clouded leopard!
It turned out to be a clouded leopard!
Clouded leopards are small but natural hunters.
It didn't give the chicken any chance to resist, and two fangs were instantly inserted into the chicken's body, and the chicken's eyes couldn't live, desperately flapping its wings to do a death struggle.
At this time, Lu Zhe suddenly shouted and rushed out, throwing a large piece of crocodile meat in his hand towards the clouded leopard.
It didn't hit, but it startled it.
Its naturally sensitive and suspicious personality, as well as its characteristic fear of humans, makes it cowardly.
It decisively put down the chicken, took a few steps back, turned and got into the woods.
"Brother Cloud Leopard, don't go, I still have something to say!"
It's good not to say this sentence, after saying this sentence, the clouded leopard walked more decisively.
Bang, jump up the tree, and in a few clicks it's gone.
"Well
, the little saber-toothed tiger is a natural hunter."
"I heard that it can kill Tibetan mastiffs."
"Don't talk about the Tibetan mastiff, some wolves can't beat it." Its mouth can open to the maximum angle of a feline, and its tusks can easily kill predators much larger than its own size. I don't know why I have a deep fear of human beings.
Shen Bing thought for a while: "I feel that its intuition about danger is quite accurate."
"What a quasi-what! Are we in danger? "
Didn't you?"
"Of course not. I originally wanted to make a deal with him and exchange that piece of crocodile meat for this chicken, but he left without asking for anything, and he betrayed my friendliness in vain.
Shen Bing pursed his lips and smiled: "It may have consulted other animals here."
"There must be some misunderstandings, but I believe that over time, they will really understand who I am."
After speaking, Lu Zhe picked up the dying chicken.
The message of this chicken comes to mind!
Red junglefowl: feeds on the ground but has the ability to fly, and perches in trees. Its range includes the Indian subcontinent, temperate southern , tropical coasts, and Southeast Asian islands.
It is the ancestor of domestic chickens.
Lu Zhe was overjoyed: "This is not a domestic chicken, but it is the ancestor of domestic chickens." The chickens raised by our ancestors were domesticated by this jungle chicken.
Shen Bing nodded: "So that's the case, I thought there were still people living on the island!"
"This time I came and gained a lot. Let's go back and eat this male first, and when the camp stabilizes, we will catch a few mothers and raise them in the yard, so that we can often eat chicken and eggs.
"Doesn't it fly?" How to raise?
"Simple, if you pull out the long feathers on your wings, you can't fly, you can only jump around and lay eggs for us."
Saying that, Lu Zhe put the chicken away.
Two people returned to the camp.
By the time we got to the camp, it was already dark.
The four girls were still waiting for them to eat in the camp, but Lu Zhe and Shen Bing did not come back, and none of them could eat.
This feeling of having someone to care about is wonderful.
Several girls were extremely surprised when they saw the chicken, and after Lu Zhe's explanation, they understood why such a species appeared on the island.
That night, the acorns were roasted and a rooster mushroom stew was made, and the six people feasted on it.
Saturday, August 6, the 58th day of living on a desert island.
With the continuous efforts of the four girls, the protective net was finally successfully weaved.
At this time, the watermelon seedlings in the ceramic pot had already given birth to seedlings, and they could be transplanted after more than twenty days.
Passion fruit, melon and strawberry seeds, on the other hand, take longer to grow.
It doesn't matter, in order not to delay the process of planting.
Lu Zhe is ready to plant some crops first as the first tenants of the experimental field!
In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Zhe pulled a protective net at the bottom of the volcano and planted a loquat, a lemon, ten wild thins, and more than 20 pepper seedlings into the test field.
After a while, mint and peppers begin to grow normally, and if the ripe loquat fruit is not stolen, important crops such as sweet potatoes can be grown.
Sunday, August 7, the 59th day of exile on a desert island.
Lu Zhe began to prune the banyan tree, preparing to rebuild the shelter and put the room on top of the banyan tree.
