Chapter 28 Red Duck

In a blink of an eye, three days passed, and there were still many bugs in the vegetable field. Everyone in the planting team was in a state of great anxiety and was busy catching bugs every day.

Chenbei tried to catch some tiger-patterned frogs from the edge of the pond, but the effect was still not good.

Until noon on the fourth day, Ya suddenly ran to Chenbei excitedly.

"Chief, a big group of red birds flew by the river. They looked fat and could swim. Everyone was trying to find a way to catch a few to eat."

"A bird that can swim? A water bird?"

Chen Bei seemed to have thought of something and immediately said: "Take me to see."

Ya immediately took Chenbei to the river. In his heart, this kind of bird that can swim is a good prey.

“Gagaha…”

Before he could reach the river, Chenbei heard a cheerful cry from afar.

Chen Bei ran over and took a look, his eyes widened.

"Duck?"

I saw a group of red wild ducks swimming happily on the shallows by the river. There were about fifty or sixty, and from time to time they came into the water to catch small fish, shrimps, snails and other things to eat.

"It's really a duck! Could it be that this is the turning point that Wu said?"

Chen Bei felt excited and linked the ducks to the pests in the vegetable field.

In his previous life, he often saw reports of using ducks to control locusts, because ducks eat a lot and digest quickly, which is much more efficient than chickens.

Since ducks can control locusts, it should be OK to control pests in the vegetable fields?

Although ducks may also eat vegetables, they definitely prefer to eat bugs compared to wild vegetables, and they can eat a lot of bugs.

The more Chen Bei thought about it, the more feasible he felt, the eyes of these wild ducks were shining.

Another point is that it is easier to domesticate wild ducks. They are flocking animals. As long as the duck that leads the lead is controlled, the rest of the wild ducks will follow obediently.

There are so many ponds in the tribe. If they are full every day and keep them fat, they will not be able to fly and naturally they will not be able to escape.

"Tait, go and inform the hunting team, catch them, don't let one go!"

"Yes, leader, I'll go right now!"

Ya ran to the tribe with excitement. He is already thirteen years old this year. If the winter sacrifice goes well, he will be able to awaken the power of totem, become a totem warrior, and join a hunting team or a fishing team.

Therefore, as long as it is related to these two teams, he is always particularly active.

The hunting team happened to go out to hunt today, and everyone was in the tribe, so they called them all to the river without any effort.

Not only that, the closest fishing team also rushed over. After all, the riverside is their territory, so we can't stand by and watch.

"Chief, what ducks are you going to catch?"

Hunting captain Yun glanced at his teeth and said, "It's a duck, right?"

Ya nodded at him because he heard Chen Bei screaming.

Chenbeidao: "That's right, these red ducks are like colorful pheasants. I want to catch them back and tame them."

"These red ducks are very important. They are likely to get rid of bugs in the vegetable field, so don't let any one go and catch them all!"

"Yes, the leader, I will definitely not let it go."

With the experience of catching colorful pheasants, Yun agreed very readily and confidently this time.

Yun turned around and went to Lie to discuss how to catch these red ducks.

Lie said: "I suggest using the net, just like catching colorful pheasants, first set up the net, then put their favorite food under the net, and when they go in and eat, pull the net down and you can catch them."

Yun Yuanyuan looked at the red ducks on the river for a while and said, "It seems that they like to eat small fish and shrimps in the river. I'll trouble your fishing team if you bait."

Lie patted his chest and said, "No problem, it's all for the tribe."

After the discussion, the fishing team began to catch small fish and shrimps, while the hunting team borrowed fishing nets and laid them by the river. The two sides cooperated to catch these red ducks.

Chen Bei watched them work throughout the whole process and was very satisfied with their performance.

Although hunting teams and fishing teams will compete to see who brings back more prey, they will not have any barriers when it comes to cooperation.

As Lie said, it was all for the tribe.

The net on the river bank was quickly laid, and the net was covered with water plants on the river, making disguise so as not to scare the timid red ducks.

The fishing team also caught a large number of small fish, shrimps, and some snails, all thrown under the net, which was very conspicuous.

Then, everyone hid in the water plants by the river.

At first, the red ducks didn't dare to get close, but just watched from afar and swam around the river.

But the ducks are all greedy. In the end, they still couldn't resist the temptation and, led by the head duck, approached the river bank bit by bit.

After swimming several laps and finding that there was no danger, they finally got ashore.

But they still did not lose their vigilance. They walked back and forth on the shore for a long time before slowly approaching the place where they set up the net.

A red duck went in first, ate a small fish, and watched around, ready to escape at any time.

However, nothing happened.

“Gagaha…”

The red duck started to scream happily and began to feast on it.

After getting the safety signal, the other red ducks rushed in, scrambling for the fish, shrimp and snails on the ground.

"I've gone in, I've gone in, I've pulled the net quickly!"

The hunting team members who had been patiently waiting for a long time pulled off the wooden sticks supporting the net from two directions, and the big net instantly covered the red ducks!

“Gagaha…”

The red ducks were struggling in the net in panic, but it was too late. After being caught in the net, it was impossible for them to escape.

"Quick, grab them and tie them all with ropes, don't let them run away."

Chen Bei couldn't suppress his excitement and rushed up himself, grabbed a red duck near the edge of the net, and tied its legs with straw ropes.

The others in the hunting team followed suit, stepped forward and tied up the red ducks, without letting them run away.

After all the red ducks were tied up, the net was removed. The red ducks were caught by everyone, held backwards, and kept flapping their wings.

"One, two, three..."

“There are fifty-two in total!”

Chen Bei counted it and smiled on his face. This was much more than the colorful pheasant.

"Everyone has done a good job, and the tribe is proud of you!"

Chen Bei injected some chicken blood for everyone, then waved his hand and asked them to take all the red ducks back to the tribe.

Ya was also holding two red ducks in his hand. He was always following Chen Bei, his face turned red with excitement. He felt very honored to be able to participate in such hunting with the leader.

“Gagaha…”

Along the way, the red duck kept calling, attracting the attention of everyone in the tribe.

Chen Bei took them directly to the captain of the breeding team Lao Lu.

"These are red ducks, and I hope you can tame them and make them like colorful pheasants, poultry from our tribe."

Then, Chenbei told Lao Lu about the things he should pay attention to in raising ducks, such as the duck's living habits.

"Don't worry, leader, I will definitely raise them."

Lao Lu agreed to this matter because he had the experience of raising triangular green sheep and colorful pheasants, and now he was full of confidence in taming red ducks.

"Old deer, raise them as soon as possible and then drive them to the vegetable field to remove insects. This is very important and urgent. As long as you can do it well, the tribe will not treat you badly."

"If you have any difficulties or problems, you can just come to me and I will do my best to help you."

Chen Bei, based on the idea of ​​giving professional matters to professionals, gave the matter of raising red ducks to Lao Lu, which is also his trust in him.

"Thank you for your trust, I will never let the leader down!"

Lao Lu was a little excited. At his age, he was already a burden in the tribe.

But because of Chen Bei, he became the captain of the breeding team and was able to be entrusted with important tasks by Chen Bei, he found his own value.
