Survive in the beast world

Chapter 72

No matter what the idea is, at least for a short period of time, these herbivorous dinosaurs can only be kept like this, but the various thoughts of YY in his mind at least comforted Li Shizhen, who currently feels that it is not worthwhile.

The lambs in the pen were standing firmly and sucking milk. They had already grown a lot, and they were taken care of by Asha and the others. Li Shizhen looked at the lambs and then at the females with big bellies. He couldn't help being curious. asked eagerly, "What do the cubs in the valley eat just after they are born?"

Seeing the curiosity on Li Shizhen's face, Asha and the others all laughed. No matter how blessed by the Holy Spirit, he is still a child who has not gone through the ceremony and knows nothing.

Asha said with a smile, "The cubs drink soup when they are young, with some meat and fir fruit."

Li Shixuan: ==

It sounds so pitiful that he can only drink soup without milk, but for some reason, Li Shizhen seems to be relieved deep in his heart. Finally, his lower limit has not been refreshed again this time.

But it's also thanks to the orc cubs. If it is a human baby, it is estimated that it will grow up or not.He looked at the ewes in the pen, counted the females with big bellies, and looked at the healthy lambs. He felt that he could rest assured that these lambs were healthy and strong. Early weaning should be fine.

Asha thought that Li Shizhen was still surprised by the cub, so he said carefully: "The cubs were in the shape of animals when they were young, and they are relatively small when they are born. Just feed some soup. When they grow teeth, you can feed them some minced meat. If you can crawl and run, you can eat meat by yourself, and now you can drink soup and eat meat.”

Li Shixuan: ...

Why does it sound like a wild animal? Should he really be called a little orc?However, this is talking about little males.

"Hey, what about the little female? Are you always feeding soup?"

Several females looked at each other and sighed: "Yes, the little females are weaker and not easy to raise, that is to say, we can have such conditions in the valley. If the small tribes outside, the snow season Lots of little females are thrown into the river."

Li Shizhen was taken aback when he heard that: "Throw it into the river? Why?"

Asha smiled bitterly: "In the snow season, there is less food, the weather is cold, and the predators are more ferocious. It is difficult for ordinary small tribes to survive even adult females, and they cannot raise young females. Moreover, they are passed down from generation to generation and thrown into the river. The females will be rescued and raised by other large tribes."

Li Shizhen disapproved: "In winter, the river is very cold even if it doesn't freeze, and there are predators in the river..."

Asha sighed: "They don't know, it's just that the rules are like this, and the little females can't grow up in the tribe, so it's better to seek the possibility of surviving. Moreover, even if the little females grow up, they are still weaker than the little males, It is also difficult to escape under the pursuit of predators. My original tribe is that, a few little females who grew up with me just disappeared, and then they came to the valley to live a safe life..."

As if thinking of something, Asha's voice was almost inaudible, and several females around him also thought of something, and they all lowered their heads.

Li Shizhen was silent. He thought of the leopard group. There were only a few of them. If they also encountered such a heavy snow season in the north, it would be really difficult to feed the baby females. No wonder the ratio of males to females is so unbalanced. It seems that this is not an isolated phenomenon.

Compared with animal-shaped male cubs, little females who are more like human babies can only eat liquid food for a long time. Of course, it is more difficult to raise them, and their self-protection ability is still much weaker when they grow up. Because the conditions in winter are better, the little females can stay in the valley for a long time before they grow up, but this ratio is much better.

However, there are no particularly young females in the valley. I am afraid that even in such a warm valley, because of food, sanitary conditions and inherent fragility, it is difficult for young females to grow up.Maybe many of the young females I saw were also rescued when they were young or grew up like Ahu and Asha.

However, thinking about the situation of the Leopard Clan, Li Shizhen subtly felt that bringing back females would not only make one-to-one marriages more popular in the valley, but also avoid the problem of too close blood relationship, and the children would be healthier and smarter, right? The ancestors in the valley also noticed this advantage early on, so they advocated bringing back females from outside.

"Is it also the habit of our valley to bring back females from outside?" Li Shizhen couldn't help asking.

The dozen or so females who had already gone through the ceremony were stunned, and all laughed: "Isn't that right, Aren't you also brought back?"

Li Shixuan: 囧.

He really forgot that in the eyes of others, he was also the "female" brought back.

Li Shizhen is too lazy to correct everyone's opinions now, and he returned to the issue of lambs: "These lambs should be raised to be stronger. Goat's milk is more suitable for the cubs than broth. When the lambs are older, they can be weaned earlier to save money." The goat milk that comes down is just...uh..." He looked at Asha's stomach, feeling a little embarrassed.

Asha quickly understood what Li Shizhen meant, and his eyes sparkled immediately: "Really? Goat's milk is better than broth?"

Li Shizhen nodded hesitantly: "Uh, logically speaking, it should be so. Cubs are more fragile. You see, lambs are also just born. Goat milk is more suitable for newborn cubs." Although it is not as good as breast milk, But it's also stronger than broth, which is probably the most nutritious fluid food grown-ups can find here.For a little male with a relatively strong body, feeding some goat milk is at least better than broth, Li Shizhen sighed.

A female named Asi next to him added: "Yes, I heard Lan Amu said that his previous tribe used to feed their cubs with milk. It seems that Ache and Aman also drank a little milk when they were young, but It doesn't seem to belong to sheep."

The females discussed excitedly, but they did not expect that there are such benefits in raising sheep. The cubs are born with better food, and of course they will be stronger.

Li Shizhen is a female who has not gone through the ceremony. Even if she talks about the blessing of the Holy Spirit, her persuasiveness in infant knowledge is still far inferior to that of Lan Amu. Lan Amu successfully gave birth to and raised two little females. This was one of the legendary events in the valley that year.

Li Shizhen added: "If it's a newborn female, I'm not particularly sure. Drinking some corn juice may be better than broth alone." In modern times, he has never heard of using goat's milk for babies to drink directly. , probably not, the baby's stomach is fragile.But I have never heard of broth or anything, but I have heard of rice soup. It is probably pure starch. Babies can absorb calories, but protein and other nutrients must be lacking.

As for the corn juice, he remembered that his little cousin added this as a food supplement when he was very young, along with eggs and so on.Wait and see if the hunting team can harvest poultry. If it is not possible, Li Shizhen turned his attention to the several herbivorous dinosaurs next to him. Anyway, they eat so much every day that they are not useful for the time being, but the eggs they lay are also eggs. no.

For other things, such as rice paste, Li Shizhen was a little helpless. He had found wheat, but the seeds were still on the back of Miss Brachiosaurus, and he didn't see any trace of rice.I don't know if there will be surprises in the other seeds brought by Ahu, but even if there is food suitable for babies, I don't know if it will be too late to plant and bear fruit.

Asha and the female looked at each other with joy in their eyes. Although I don't know if Ah Chao's statement is reliable. very good already.

Asha nodded: "I'll ask Lan Amu later."

Regarding Asha's going to ask Lan Amu's opinion, Li Shizhen not only did not feel displeased at being distrusted, but nodded vigorously to express his agreement. Regarding the knowledge of infants and young children... Li Shizhen said that engineering students really don't know anything. What he had just said was all he knew.Seeing that Aman and Ache have grown up to such a healthy and lively age, Lan Amu's opinion is obviously more worthy of reference.

After all, the future of a group depends on the next generation. Infants and young children really need to be taken care of carefully. The half-safari career separated by the two teams in the valley may cause some infants and young children’s knowledge to be unable to communicate in time, or in this era, everyone thinks that children The premature death of males, especially young females, is too normal to attract attention, but Li Shizhen always believes that if this kind of experience can be passed on and accumulated, it will be of great benefit to the future of the valley.

Li Shizhen, who felt that he was thinking a little too much suddenly, laughed, and then said goodbye to a few "quasi-ams" who were going to visit Lan Amu later. Maybe he can talk to Bai and Lan Amu about this when he goes back. One thing, this kind of adult female who is about to become Eminems, maybe they should strengthen communication with Eminem Blue and Eminem Yu?

After the fattening over there is completed, these females can be replaced, and let them go to a group with Lan Amu for a while, so that we can communicate more and have a caretaker.Li Shizhen thought to himself——

The base fertilizer had just been filled, and the sky was snowing again. This was the second snowfall in the valley. It seemed that the snow season had really come.

Li Shizhen transferred several pregnant females to Yu'am's logistics team, and temporarily assigned the young females to the breeding area to help. It has snowed for the past two days, and the planting work has been suspended. Let them go to the breeding area to help It is also good to collect a little more forage and hoard it, so as not to overwhelm the breeding area when manpower is needed for planting.

Li Shizhen went to the north to see. Because of the high temperature, the ground is not as thick as the snow in the south. There are only sporadic snowflakes, which melt quickly, which saves them the work of irrigation.Just because they were afraid of hurting the seedlings, they decided to transplant them after the snow stopped.

Both Li Shizhen and Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the impact was not too great. It is estimated that Xueting and the others will be able to continue this work.

The matter of Chiapa and the others is more and more hanging in the hearts of the two of them. It has been so long since they have been out, it is really hard to let people feel at ease.If it drags on, even if Li Shizhen's words as a magic stick say it will be difficult to guarantee persuasion in the valley, I'm afraid that people in the valley will be panicked again.

However, on this day, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the valley. This whistle meant that something was happening outside!Li Shizhen and Bai were eating, but in surprise, they dropped their chopsticks and immediately left the stone house to see what happened.

Today, Team Leader Yong was patrolling outside the valley. In view of the bad weather, Bai had previously arranged for the patrol team to widen the scope of the patrol, so he specially arranged for Li's team to be stationed at the entrance of the valley, so that he could respond to anything.

Facts have proved that this arrangement is really wise. It was Li's team who blew the whistle, and a young male rushed to report to Bai. A smoke message was lit in the south, and it seemed that the distance was not close!

When it is snowing like this, if they are not standing at the entrance of the valley, I am afraid it will be difficult to see the smoke signal in the valley, and the signal from the south is obviously from Yong and the others. The situation is obviously very urgent and the distance must be very far, so it is used. Smoke news!

Bai did not hesitate, but took out the whistle specially made for him by Li Shizhen, and the hurried assembly whistle sounded in the valley, three short and one long, all the young males hurriedly put down everything in their hands, took up their weapons and assembled in front of the hall up.

Bai didn't talk too much, and didn't even have time to explain to Yang Apa who was running from a distance, he just hurriedly said to Li Shizhen: "Take care of the valley!" He turned around and led the team out.

Seeing this group of tall figures disappear at the mouth of the snowy valley, Li Shizhen was a little uneasy. What happened made the calm Yongdu light up the smoke.

Taking a deep breath, Li Shizhen forced himself to divert his attention. Seeing the old and weak people running in panic, he had to calm down first to appease everyone.

"I'm still not sure what it is. There are smoke reports from the south. It may be that a large group of prey has been found. If you are worried, please rest in the hall for a while." The calm expression on Li Shizhen's face made many girls Heaved a sigh of relief, those who had work like Yu Amu and Lan Amu went back to continue working first, and everyone who had no work hesitated and chose to stay.It was quite warm with the fire in the hall, so Li Shizhen was not worried.

Yang Apa looked worried: "What will happen?"

Regarding this wise old man who has gone through many vicissitudes, Li Shizhen is not prepared to hide: "I don't know yet. But obviously Yong needs manpower to help. First, he may have encountered a predator, second, he may have found a large group of prey, and third, "Li Shizhen took a deep breath, seeing that the people around him had entered the hall, and they should not be able to hear their conversation, so he lowered his voice, "We have received Chiapa and the others."

Li Shizhen has thought about it carefully, Yanxun can only tell everyone that there is an emergency, hurry up, but can't explain what it is, but if it is a predator, it is no problem for them to escape, and if it is really impossible to deal with There are so many predators, they have no time to escape, how could they have time to burn the smoke.Most likely the latter two guesses.

If it was Chiapa and the others, and Li Shizhen didn't say anything, then the situation might not be good. Yong and the others either couldn't find someone to report back, or the situation was too urgent and they couldn't wait for the reporter to arrive, so they used the smoke message directly.

Yang Apa frowned his snow-white eyebrows, apparently also thought of this question, it may be good news, or it may be bad news, in any case, we still need to appease everyone and wait for further news.

Both Li Shixuan and Yang Apa stayed outside and did not intend to enter the hall. If something happened, the two of them would get the news as soon as possible, and whether to conceal it or publish it would be arranged according to the situation at the time.

Li Shizhen's feet were numb when he stood, he wanted to persuade Yang Apa to go into the lobby to rest, he was young and fine, but Yang Apa was old and had just lost his vitality, after all it was cold outside.

Yang Apa shook his head but refused. The two were holding each other. A young male with flushed face and sweat profusely came back. Li Shizhen recognized that this was a member of Yong's team. After running for so long physically, I am panting like this!

Seeing Li Shizhen and Yang Apa, he breathed a sigh of relief, took a few deep breaths, and said with a half-bowed waist, "Qi, Qiapa," he gasped again, swallowed, straightened up, and Li Both Shizhuo and Yangappa raised their hearts, and only then did they hear, "They're back."

The expressions of Li Shizhen and Yang Apa did not relax because of this news. If they came back safely and smoothly, why did they light up the cigarette so urgently, and the male's expression did not seem to be very relaxed.

He seemed to catch his breath, and said in a breath: "Qiapa and Qing Apa, many of them were injured. I met Bai on the road and told him. Bai said that they would go directly to meet him and let me report directly. , Let the valley get ready, he said that Ah Chao knows how to arrange it." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen didn't start making arrangements immediately, but instead asked a few key questions, how many people were injured, and how serious were the injuries.

After hearing the answer, his and Yang Apa's hearts sank heavily.

Yang Apa ran back directly to get the medicine, and Li Shizhen turned back to prepare manpower to meet Bai and the others. After all, Bai and the others only carried weapons, and they probably only had some emergency medicine powder on them, and more things needed to be taken out of the valley.Li Shizhen himself has experienced the magic of herbal medicine, but for hemostasis, disinfection is still required.

It is impossible to hide this news any longer, and the people in the valley are afraid to take action.Fortunately, Yu-Amu and Lan-Amu left each other because of their respective affairs, otherwise Li Shizhen was really afraid that they would not be able to appease them.

Li Shizhen quickly entered the hall and explained the situation directly: "We have received Qiapa and Qingapa, but they are not in good condition. Many people have been injured and need to be rescued."

A pot exploded in the hall, and Li Shizhen raised his voice: "Everyone be quiet!"

Although the panicked elderly women calmed down, they looked very anxious. Li Shizhen then continued: "Everyone calm down, Bai and the others have already gone to meet them, and nothing will happen! Don't think about it, last time we prepared Is the stretcher still there?"

After Li Shizhen received an affirmative answer, he ordered several young females on the scene, and arranged for them to rush to get the stretcher, and prepare more animal skins, thick or thin.These stretchers themselves are not heavy, and they need to carry things to meet them.

Li Shixuan: "Other people boil some hot water. Forget it, just take the animal skin to the hot spring water and scald it. It will be useful after drying. Don't touch the animal skin with your hands. Everything that comes into contact with the animal skin will be damaged." Wash it with hot spring water. Also prepare some more salt and cool hot spring water, it will be useful when people bring it back later.”

While talking, Yang Apa came back with a huge animal skin package on his back, and several females also arrived with stretchers and animal skins.Then, Yu-Amu, Lan-Amu and others with anxious faces also received the news from nowhere.

Li Shizhen had no choice but to say: "Arms who can deal with trauma, come along, Shi Amu, I will leave it to you to deal with the animal skins, Ying Amu, you are responsible for leading people to prepare salt and water, and in addition , Burn more fires in the hall, and prepare some beds and animal skins, I am afraid they will stay here for a while."

After finishing speaking, before he could listen to their responses, Li Shizhen carried the bag for Yang Apa first, let the young male take the lead, and the group set off in a hurry.

The distance is indeed very far, and the snow has been falling. Except for one male, Li Shizhen and his party are all old men and females. They walked along the messy footprints of Bai and them in the snow, breathing white air. , with a dull face.

The world was completely white, and everyone was so anxious that their brains went blank, just like this vast white world, only the sound of panting, just wanting to go faster and faster, but this seems to have not changed much from the beginning to the end. Xuebai makes people want to go crazy.

Fortunately, in the end, I saw a lot of small black spots from a distance, which should be Bai and the others.

There was a long distance on the snowy ground, Li Shizheng and his group saw Bai and they all started to run. When they got close, Li Shizheng found that the situation was worse than his own judgment.Li Shizhen couldn't even imagine how Chiapa's team could persist until they were near the valley after suffering such a heavy blow.

Everyone is carrying people, and some even turned into the shape of a beast to bear the beast's Apa, and the Apas behind are also supporting each other.

Bai had already turned into a tiger shape, and at this moment Chiapa was carrying the wolf shape, and the blood even dyed Bai's own fur red.

Li Shizhen gasped: "Quickly, stop first, bandage to stop the bleeding and then move it back!"

Yang Apa didn't speak, and stepped forward to take Chiapa and helped them onto the stretcher brought by the females. Only then did Li Shizhen realize that it wasn't that the bleeding hadn't stopped, but that the wound was too deep and couldn't be stopped for a while. The huge wound was missing a piece of flesh, and the bone was almost visible, so it couldn't be stopped directly.

Li Shizhen put down the package without Yang Apa's order, and opened it. Lan's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and didn't let herself go to make trouble.

Qing Apa in human form was carried on Yong's back. He seemed to be in better condition, but his legs seemed to be bright red and he was unable to move. Yu Amu hurried forward to apply ointment on him.

The Eminems have all seen similar scenes. Although the situation made them anxious and sad, they still shed tears to help Yang Apa deal with the most needed injuries.

The Chiapas who were in serious condition were all moved to the stretcher, and a few males carried it. Several young females and Li Shizhen also helped to carry the stretcher. At this time, regardless of the male and female, there are not enough people. One female People can't carry a wounded person, so they have to carry a stretcher.The rest of the mothers also supported the Appas behind, and the group returned to the valley again.

It was more strenuous to come here than to go. Carrying and carrying the wounded was not light, but everyone was more anxious. The injury was so serious that it was treated hastily just now, and they had to go back to the valley as soon as possible to deal with it.

Li Shizhen deeply regrets that there is no hospital at this time, and there is no professional team of doctors and nurses. He is worried that Yang Apa is alone, and he doesn't know if he will be busy.I hope everyone is ok in the end...
