Chapter 109 Chicken Coop

The people transporting supplies have already arrived. They have traveled a long way to get here. They have to rest for two days before they have the strength to return.

During these two days, Zhou Xu's work at the barren mountain camp, apart from starting to direct the renovation of the camp, was to have a good rest.

After all, after the transport team finished resting, he had to arrange for fifty prisoners of war to return with the transport team.

Before these prisoners of war left, he had to check all their panels.

On the one hand, it is to facilitate his subsequent arrangements, and on the other hand, it is to see if he can find any talents, so as not to accidentally miss important talents.

For this reason, he had to quickly restore the power of the mantra that he had consumed before.

The best way is to get enough rest.

It doesn't have to be sleeping. Zhou Xu found that as long as the mind is empty and the whole person enters a state of complete relaxation, even if it is just in a daze, it can have similar effects.

Of course, after having slept enough and being dazed enough, Zhou Xu would still find something to do for himself.

After all, he had been idle, and he felt panicked.

On this day, while making adjustments to the camp's plan, Zhou Xu turned his attention to the chicken coop that Wang Luchong had built before.

In this primitive era with simple conditions, Zhou Xu's ability to tolerate various harsh environments has improved a lot compared to the beginning.

However, this time, the moment he walked into Wang Luchong's chicken coop, he still couldn't help but almost vomited.

"Ugh, vomit. Isn't it too smelly in here?"

Several times of retching made Zhou Xu's face look slightly livid.

"Are you doing your daily hygiene?"

During this period, Wang Chuan, who came with him, was obviously very badly smoked, but his mind was still quite clear. After hearing Zhou Xu's question, he hurriedly expressed...

"It happens every day, but these pheasants are very good at pooping. If you don't pay attention, they will poop everywhere. Moreover, the chicken poop is wet and sticks to the ground, making it difficult to completely clean it off..."

At this point, Wang Chuan didn't say anything further. Zhou Xu could roughly guess what happened next.

If it is not cleaned properly, the chicken coop will become dirtier, dirtier and smellier.

At the same time, the moment he walked in, Zhou Xu could clearly feel that it was filled with all kinds of feather dust. The environment was no longer just smelly, but even breathing made him feel sick and uncomfortable.

I feel that if I stay in this environment for a long time, I will suffer from respiratory diseases.

"Have you never thought about making it open-air?"

Faced with this question, Wang Chuan nodded quickly.

"I have thought about it. At the beginning, I made a fence and kept the pheasants inside. But the pheasants just flapped their wings and flew out easily. It was useless to raise the fence. Later, the pheasants flew out easily.

We had no choice but to build a chicken coop like this."

Hearing this, Zhou Xu nodded, and he had a general idea.

He just overlooked something, that is, the "domestic chickens" in his impression are the result of long-term domestication by humans, and even in modern society, some free-range chickens, pheasants, and pheasants are better than domestic chickens.

Will flutter.

Now in this primitive era, pheasants have not yet been domesticated, and their athletic abilities are undoubtedly stronger, and they even have the ability to fly short distances.

This forced Wang Luchong to build this chicken coop.

But to be honest, the current conditions are too bad, and the sanitary conditions in the chicken coop are also terrible. Zhou Xu guessed that this situation cannot be solved by cleaning it every day.

I'm just afraid that the poor sanitary environment will breed some bacteria and viruses, which will cause trouble.

Rather than thinking about how to deal with bacteria and viruses, it would be easier to eliminate the root cause of the problem from the beginning.

From this point of view, free-range breeding in the open air is definitely the most trouble-free and reasonable.

On the one hand, it is a completely open space, with smooth air circulation and less odor.

On the other hand, this chicken has always pooped everywhere. When placed in a chicken coop, the hygiene problem is a headache. However, when placed in the wild, the chicken's excrement can directly become nutrients for the surrounding land plants and naturally degrade.

They need to worry about it.

But as Wang Chuan said, the biggest problem with free-range breeding in the open air at present is that these pheasants cannot be contained. It is estimated that they will all run away as soon as they turn around.

To solve this problem, Wang Luchong had no idea what to do, so he could only choose to build a chicken coop and trap all the pheasants inside.

But here in Zhou Xu, this problem is easy to solve.

"This is a simple matter. All you need to do is clip the wings of those pheasants."

"..."

Wang Chuan was silent for a while after hearing this.

He subconsciously imagined that their new leader would take a stone ax and cut off both wings of the pheasant with two clicks. Then he turned to him with a smile and said, "Look, they will be like this."

Can't fly away.' picture.

For a moment, Wang Chuan was also sweating profusely.

Although he didn't say anything during this process, according to Zhou Xu's keenness, he undoubtedly realized that Wang Chuan might have imagined some strange scene.

"Catch a pheasant and let me demonstrate it to you."

After hearing this, although Wang Chuan was in a subtle mood, he acted simply and asked someone to catch a pheasant.

After all, if we really talk about this matter, even if their leader breaks the wings of all the pheasants, it doesn't matter to him.

For them, these pheasants are essentially food, and in the end they have to eat what is in their stomachs. It would be too pretentious to dwell on this matter.

After a while of chickens and dogs jumping around, a tribe member came out holding a pheasant.

In order to facilitate control, Zhou Xu first asked them to tie a rope on the chicken's feet, and then asked one person to control the pheasant. After pressing the wings on a relatively flat stone slab, Zhou Xu picked up a stone dagger.

, and began to scratch and pull on the tip of the pheasant's wings.

There is no way, there are basically no sharp knives in this era. If you want to cut something, you can only saw it like a dull knife cutting meat.

After a lot of effort, Zhou Xu exhaled a long breath after cutting the pheasant's wings as if they had been chewed by a dog.

"about there."

As he spoke, he motioned to the tribe members who were controlling the pheasant to let it go.

Losing its restraints, the pheasant immediately flew out, running wildly and flapping its wings fiercely.

This situation made Wang Chuan and others look stunned.

They thought that the pheasant's wings must have been broken by their leader, but now it seems that it is completely fine.

However, since they had tied the rope in advance, Wang Chuan and the others were not afraid that the pheasant would escape.

With the flapping of its wings, the pheasant jumped suddenly, as if preparing to take off on the spot.

Just when Wang Chuan and the others thought that the pheasant was about to take flight, something beyond their expectations happened.

I saw that after the pheasant took off, it just flapped its wings and fluttered in the air a few times, and then plunged to the ground with a very funny look.

Within two seconds, the head stood up straight again, and turned its head to look around quickly, its eyes full of wisdom, as if it didn't understand how it fell...
