I am a Primitive Man
Chapter 265 – Five Little Blessings and the Deer of the Ploughed Land
The instinct of blessing to protect its cubs still exists. Except for Han Cheng, who raised her, Fu Jiang does not allow anyone else to go to the dog’s den to take her wolf cubs.
However, because it hasn’t spent as much time with wolves as it has with humans and has long considered the Green Sparrow Tribe its own group, it has become familiar with the people of the Green Sparrow Tribe. So, when others approach the dog’s den, it just shows its teeth and doesn’t attack.
Furry little animals are the most lovable, especially for the girls in the tribe, who are captivated by these furry little creatures.
Although they don’t care much about silkworm farming, they are exceptionally fond of these wolf cubs.
These people who don’t usually come to Han Cheng’s house now want to hang around here when they have nothing to do.
Squatting on the side and watching the wolf cubs suckle, their hearts are melting.
These primitive girls, who couldn’t resist the impulse to “trap the god” half a month ago and told their thoughts to the Eldest Senior Brother and the shaman, have now completely forgotten about trapping the Divine Child and giving birth to monkeys for him. Their hearts are now wholly devoted to these meaty little dog cubs.
If they watch for a long time, they will beg the Divine Child to bring out these little dog cubs for them to touch, hug, and lift high.
Because in the entire tribe, only the Divine Child can bring the puppies out of the dog’s den.
Han Cheng looked at these underage girls who were wholeheartedly devoted to the little wolf cubs, recalling what the shaman had said to him half a month ago, and couldn’t help but wipe away a cold sweat.
Who knows how these guys suddenly started thinking about trapping him again?
Why are people like Xing, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Li so eager?
Is it because the Divine Child’s face became more charming after being struck by lightning?
As a certain Divine Child wiped away his sweat while shamelessly thinking like this.
The matter of “trapping the Divine Child” was naturally firmly rejected by Han Cheng with righteous words. The reason was very justified: he was still not grown up and was not suitable for doing things that were not suitable for children…
With the sudden occurrence of twin sisters and then living a life of kidney pain, Han Cheng had fantasized about it a lot in his previous life, but now…
Looking at Xiao Mei and Xiao Li, who were not much thinner than Xing, Han Cheng still found it difficult to open his heart.
Is this the difference between ideal and reality?
Han Cheng thought helplessly while sniffing.
Speaking of which, it’s a bit bitter. Whether in this life or the previous one, marriage matters are full of twists and turns for him.
This matter was temporarily put aside. As he grew up, he would choose whether to bow to reality or remain a lifelong bachelor and cultivate unparalleled hand speed.
Thinking so bitterly, Han Cheng was very supportive of the behavior of Xing, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Li, who were wholeheartedly devoted to the little wolf cubs. In this way, they wouldn’t be thinking all day about how to “trap the Divine Child”…
The five little dog cubs already have their names: Da Fu, Er Fu, San Fu, Si Fu, and Xiao Fu.
Han Cheng did not give these names, but Xing, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Li this group of girls.
They felt that the cubs born under the blessing must have the character “Fu” in their names, and they also knew from the Divine Child that the character “Fu” means blessings.
Han Cheng looked at these people who were full of expectations looking at him and finally resisted the urge to cough and agreed to these names.
But his face couldn’t help but twitch a little. Five Little blessings, indeed.
After thinking about it, he realized this was also good. Apart from being easy to remember, aside from the pun with Five Little Fu, the implication of “Five Blessings Arriving” is also good.
The weather was getting warmer daily, and the grass changed from tender yellow to deep green, completing the transformation from fresh meat to old bacon.
Many wildflowers also began to bloom, including many purple joy flowers.
This year, the joy flowers were blooming white because no joy festivals were held between the nearby tribes.
However, the people of the Green Sparrow Tribe still had things to do.
The large patch of rapeseed to the west, nourished by spring sunlight, was lush green, and its growth was quite satisfactory. By now, it had started to bud universally.
In a little while, it would blossom.
The people of the Green Sparrow Tribe were not busy with these already established rapeseed fields but with the open space next to the rapeseed fields.
These empty spaces, covering more than twenty mu, stretched from the foot of the mountain in the north almost to the riverbank.
Most of these lands were opened up after planting rapeseed last year.
The area near the river was newly opened after spring this year.
With the weather warming up, the planting of millet, which Han Cheng attached great importance to, was also on the agenda.
Millet is planted in spring and harvested in autumn. He roughly knew the timing but wasn’t sure when the most suitable time was to plant millet. Therefore, he divided the millet into four batches and planted them, with about ten days between each batch.
The first batch of millet is currently being planted.
The Deer Lord appeared somewhat impatient and aggrieved, occasionally shaking its head.
This was not because it was restless again and wanted to engage in some indescribable activities with its harem but because it still had ropes on its back and head that made it extremely uncomfortable.
It was indeed quite aggrieved. On such a sunny day with a gentle breeze, when it took its tribe to the wilderness to bask in the sun and eat a few mouthfuls of lush green grass, some heartless two-legged creatures were now leading it, walking on land with hardly any grass.
The old deer wouldn’t feel so aggrieved and uncomfortable if it were just that. The key was that while walking on this land with hardly any grass, there were broad things made of leather on its back.
On both sides of these leather things, there were ropes connected, and at the end of the ropes was a half-meter-long crossbar, with two ropes tied to this crossbar.
Behind the crossbar, there was another piece of rope with a wooden hook tied to the end. Behind the hook was something almost two meters long.
This thing was very similar to the ladder of the Green Sparrow Tribe, except that it was not made of whole round logs but of those split in half from the middle.
And the spacing between those crossbars was much smaller.
Yes, this thing was a rake used for breaking up soil.
But it was a bit different from the rake in the future.
The teeth of the rake in the future were made of iron, while the teeth of the rake made by Han Cheng were made of sharpened and curved hardwood sticks.
The spacing between adjacent teeth on the same row was twenty centimeters. Considering that hardwood sticks were not as sturdy as iron and that the strength of deer was not comparable to that of cattle, horses, donkeys, and mules, the teeth didn’t protrude much downward. This way, the soil would be shallowly tilled, and the resistance when pulling it up wouldn’t be too excellent.
On this makeshift rake, there was also a handle placed, and the handle was filled with soil inside so that the teeth of the rake could be pressed into the soil.
Han Cheng long ago planned to use deer as beasts of burden. As the cultivated land area of the Green Sparrow Tribe increased, the labor intensity would also continuously expand, so using animal power was necessary.
Without cattle and horses, they had to make do with what they had and use deer instead.
Although the strength of deer was not as good as that of cattle, horses, and donkeys, it still had many advantages compared to humans. For example, the ongoing tilling of the land.
