Savage Tribe Survival

Chapter 63

Lu Zhan didn't intend to go out. Although Luo Zhen seemed to have returned to normal now, he was still worried.

This was the first time that Luo Zhen ate more than Lu Zhan for breakfast. After eating, he planned to go to A Xue's house to see the injured stag horse. Last night, Lu Zhan said that the other party's wound had burst open again. , Luo Zhen was still a little worried.

It seems that it has snowed a little again in the past two days. Lu Zhan took a new animal skin cloak from his mother-in-law and put it on Luo Zhen. As long as you put on the cap of the cloak, you don't have to worry about snowflakes getting into your clothes when it snows. went.

"There are not many animal skins now? Why did you make me another cloak?"

"You are afraid of the cold."

Luo Zhen looked at the other party with a funny face, and said with disapproval: "Although you can go out to hunt occasionally, the winter is still very long, and there are still many places where animal skins will be used in the future. I have two sets of clothes that I can change and wash. No need to waste animal skins to make new ones for me."

"I hunted these animal skins back."

Luo Zhen pushed open the wooden door, and a gust of cold wind came in. However, he was dressed thickly and had a cloak that covered his whole body, so he didn't feel cold. "Have you forgotten that you are the leader of the tribe now?" Is it? If you give me all the things you hunted, it will be bad for those who can’t go out to hunt. You are a leader and a warrior, so you should take care of your people more.”

Lu Zhan pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Big witch, you're awake." Ah Qing was holding a big wooden bow and was about to find a place to practice. As soon as he went out, he saw Luo Zhen and the two of them, and ran over in surprise. People in the room pushed the door open one after another when they heard Ah Qing's words.

"Big witch." Ah Shui rushed over and hugged Luo Zhen's thigh tightly. He saw Luo Zhen fall in front of him with his own eyes, and he always blamed himself for not taking good care of the big witch.

"Big Witch, are you alright?" The crowd surrounded Luo Zhen, and the undisguised worry on their faces warmed Luo Zhen's heart.

"I'm fine, sorry for worrying you." Luo Zhen looked around at the crowd apologetically.

"Big Witch, I'm very worried about you." Ah Hua raised her small head and looked at Luo Zhen, her big and round eyes were still obviously moist.

Luo Zhen bent down and hugged him, "Sorry, the big witch scared you."

A'hua shook her head lightly, "As long as the big witch is fine."

Luo Zhen smiled, and exchanged a few pleasantries with everyone. After confirming that Luo Zhen was really fine, they dispersed to do their own things.

"I've already dealt with the antler horse's injury, and I change its dressing every day. Apart from lack of energy, there's nothing wrong with it." A Xue said to Luo Zhen as she walked to her home.

"Why not energetic? Are you hungry?"

Axue shook her head, and looked carefully at Lu Zhan who was following behind her, "I dig grass roots for it to eat every day, and when Heifu goes out on patrol, he also brings back some evergreen leaves. It may be antlers The horse's four hooves are all tied up, so it can't move, so it has no energy." A Xue guessed.

"Bound?" Luo Zhen looked at her suspiciously.

Axue coughed lightly, she did not come up with the idea of ​​tying the antler horse, when she sent the antler horse to her, she originally wanted to untie the rope, who knew that the antler horse wanted to go out the door anyway , there is no way, she can only continue to tie it.

Axue's wooden house is only a house away from Luo Zhen's house, and they are just a few steps away.

Luo Zhen hadn't entered the room when he heard mournful "yelling", and he paused for a moment before stepping in.

The stag-horse was lying not far from the door, and Luo Zhen could see it as soon as he entered. It was still covered with smashed medicinal herbs, and its four hooves were tightly bound as A Xue said. Able to maintain side lying position.

Probably because of the sound of the door opening, the antler horse raised its head with difficulty. Before the word "向" was uttered, a pair of eyes were wide open, and regardless of the bound hooves, it wanted to crawl towards Luo Zhen's direction.

Luo Zhen was puzzled by the antler horse's overly enthusiastic attitude towards her, but for the sake of the wound on the other party's body, she stepped forward to stop the antler horse's movements.

"Your injuries haven't healed yet, so don't move around."

The antler horse didn't know if it understood Luo Zhen's words, but it didn't move anymore, it just stuck out its tongue and licked Luo Zhen's hand that fell on him.

Luo Zhen first checked the wound on the opponent's body. After a few days of recuperation, the wound has healed a lot. It will probably be sent back to the antler horse's territory in a few days. I hope the other party will not fight with the huge antler horse Complain about how you were tied up when you were with them.

"I'll untie the rope for you, so you can't move around, okay?" Luo Zhen tried to communicate with the antler horse.

The antler horse raised its head and let out a "yell", as if in response to Luo Zhen's words.

The rope was knotted, and Luo Zhen spent a long time trying to untie it. In the end, he had no choice but to cut it off with a bone knife.

"Do you want to take it back?" Lu Zhan was obviously very dissatisfied that such a huge creature was kept in the house, and reached out his hand in disgust to touch the huge antlers of the antler horse, but the antler horse turned its head away to avoid it.

Luo Zhen originally only planned to visit the antler horse. If the antler horse and A Xue got along well, maybe the other party could become A Xue's mount in advance, but now seeing how sticky the antler horse is to her, It seems that it will not work if you don't take it back.

"Take it back first, and send it back when its wounds are almost healed." Their agreement with the huge stag-horse only started in spring, and they didn't have any preparations for this winter. It is a bit too much for the tribe to feed them.

"Axue, are the grass roots you dug up that day still there?" Luo Zhen also wanted to ask Axue about radishes when he came here this time. I went to confirm it, who knew that he passed out as soon as he touched the white thing, and there was no time to confirm whether it was a carrot or not.

A Xue shook her head, she pointed to the antler horse and said, "It's gone, I'll feed it to the antler horse."

The antler horse still has a good impression of A Xue who has been feeding him for a few days. Seeing A Xue pointing at herself, and gently rubbing her antlers against him, A Xue also smiled and touched back lightly.

"Then did you still dig that white root?" The shape of the radish is very different from other grass roots. Luo Zhen only briefly described it, and Ah Xue remembered what the other party was referring to.

"No, I just dug that one."

Luo Zhen asked suspiciously: "Isn't there still one in the hole you dug before?" He thought that Ah Xue was eaten by stag antlers, but did he not dig it?At least they had one left if they hadn't dug it up.There was a bit of joy on Luo Zhen's face, and she also regretted that she forgot to tell Ah Xue to save the carrots before she passed out.

"There is one." Ashe's tone was a bit strange, "But when I went back later, the white root was gone."

"Gone?"

"Yeah." Ashe nodded, "I had already dug half of it at the time, so I couldn't remember it wrong, but it really disappeared later."

Does the radish still have long legs to run?Speaking here now, there is no way to know whether the radish that was not dug out was eaten by something, or it disappeared as A Xue said, so Luo Zhen planned to go and have a look in person.

First, the antler horse was carried back to Luo Zhen's house, and then the group of people walked to the back of the house where the grass roots were dug before. Ah Shui and A Hua remembered that the place was where Luo Zhen fainted, and they followed each other step by step from left to right. Beside him, I was afraid that Luo Zhen would suddenly fall to the ground again.

Lu Zhan didn't agree with Luo Zhen digging some grass roots at first. He just woke up. Lu Zhan wished that the other party would stay at home and not go anywhere. At most, he could just cook some food, and don't touch other jobs, but Luo Zhen insisted If he wanted to dig some radishes, he wouldn't forcefully stop him, he just took over the bone hoe, and when he wanted to dig something later, he could just do it, and Luo Zhen could hold hands and watch.

The place where the grass roots were originally dug has been dug up a lot by Axue in the past two days. Now the land has been upturned, mixed with snow, and after being trampled on, it looks a bit dirty. If the weather does not allow it, Luo Zhen wanted to organize the loosened soil into a vegetable field and plant crops.

Lu Zhan and Axue worked together to clear out a large area of ​​snow around them. Luo Zhen looked at the dry weed roots under the snow, and couldn't tell whether there were radishes nearby. Those radish leaves said It may have fallen off and rotted away because it was buried in snow for too long.

"Start digging from here?" Lu Zhan pointed to the ground under his feet.

Luo Zhen didn't know if this place existed, "Then start digging here first."

It is not easy to dig out the grass roots from the frozen soil in winter. Luo Zhen didn't want to embarrass Lu Zhan. If there were no radishes in the newly cleared place, he would give up and wait for the spring. It will be much easier to identify the radish leaves when they grow back.

But their luck was too bad. When they built a house before, they dug a lot of foundations, but they never dug out a plant like a radish, or even any other edible plant roots.

The others did not allow Luo Zhen to do anything. Luo Zhen was stopped several times, so she could only stand aside helplessly, watching the movements of several people with her eyes.

Lu Zhan has great strength. This kind of hard frozen soil is not difficult for him. Basically, a bone hoe can bring up a piece of soil. Luo Zhen is worried about how many bone hoe the other party will waste after digging this place.

Because Luo Zhen had told them not to dig out the radishes all at once, the movements of several people were very careful, and they would stop to check after digging a few hoes, so the speed was not fast.

The animal skin backpack he brought was filled with all kinds of plant roots. Luo Zhen looked at the sky and saw that it was already past noon. He was about to tell others to stop, but saw Lu Zhan beckoning to him, " Luo Zhen, come quickly and see if this is a carrot."

Hearing this, A Xue also stopped her movements and walked over.

Luo Zhen watched as Lu Zhan carefully pulled away the soil in front of him. In the brown soil package, he saw a white root sticking out.
