Mutton has been a first-class delicacy since ancient times, and it is also Mufeng's favorite.

So he naturally took the wild sheep as his first animal to be domesticated.

But as Mingguang said, wild goats run so fast in the jungle that very few can catch up to it.

Wild sheep are not only fast, but also very cunning. They appear in the jungle between human tribes and large carnivorous beasts. Some of the wild goats appeared less than ten miles away from the Jiang clan.

According to Mu Feng's memory, there are quite a lot of wild sheep near the tribe, and there are more than 20 wild sheep in the small-scale wild sheep flock, which completely meets his "trial" standard.

In addition to salt, he asked Mingguang to prepare animal tendons and rattan.

He twisted the animal tendons into animal tendon ropes, and kept them for tying sheep.

As for rattan, it is used to weave nets.

Mufeng knew how to weave nets before. He had studied history in archeology before, and was very familiar with the appearance and weaving of fishing nets.

Under Mu Feng's special emphasis, the rattans are all soft and tough.

Under his "guidance", people in the tribe quickly learned to weave rattan nets with rattan.

It's just that the net woven with rattan is not as practical as the net woven with rope and twine.

Fortunately, Wood Wind didn't use it to catch fish, but to make traps.

After doing this, Mu Feng asked Mingguang about the hunting habits of the wild sheep, and decided to set off for the woods before dawn tomorrow morning. The destination was a place where about thirty wild sheep had haunted.

Before dawn the next day, Li Hu appeared in the cave and woke Mu Feng up.

With previous fishing experience, no one will stop Mu Feng from going out now.

More than 50 young and strong people from the entire tribe were dispatched, and almost everyone was wearing skin bags filled with salt water.

In addition to the salt water, everyone carried rattan nets, bone knives, bamboo spears, and animal tendon ropes.

The most puzzling thing is that Mufeng asked people to bring the two shovels with them.

"What is the great chief planning to do?" Li Hu asked Ming Guang in a low voice, "You still have a skin bag for hunting, and water in the skin bag?"

"I don't know either!" Ming Guang shook his head, "Now that the gold utensils have been brought, it won't be necessary to dig a well again, right?"

"Dig a well?" Li Hu frowned, "Can you hunt by digging a well?"

Mu Feng walked not far behind the two of them, and when he heard it, he shook his head and smiled secretly, without explaining, and sighed in his heart: "The cognitive level of people in primitive society is really worrying!"

A group of people soon arrived at the place Ming Guang said.

It was still dark, and Mu Feng took a torch and looked around. There were obvious teeth marks on the leaves of the surrounding grass and shrubs, which were obviously eaten by herbivores.

He looked left and right again, chose a place with relatively lush vegetation and few teeth marks, and said, "This is it!"

Everyone around came together.

"Woodwind, what are we going to do?"

Mu Feng stretched out his hand to pick up a bamboo spear, drew a circle seven to eight meters long and two meters wide on the ground, and said, "Now, everyone, hurry up and dig up all the soil in this circle, and throw all the soil farther away. place!"

"Huh?" Li Hu was surprised, "We want to dig such a big well here?"

Mu Feng shook his head: "No, it doesn't need to be that deep, as long as it is about your height!"

He originally wanted to say more than one meter deep, but he was not sure about the bouncing of wild sheep, so he had to say a little more just to be on the safe side.

"What's the use of this?" Li Hu looked puzzled.

Mu Feng looked at the dawn of the sky, waved his hands and said: "Now is not the time to explain, dig the hole first, and you will know later!"

"Yes!" Li Hu hurriedly called these people to dig the soil.

With two shovels and more than fifty bone knives, the hole in Mu Fenghua was dug out in less than an hour.

After finishing these, Li Hu looked at Mu Feng again: "Mu Feng, what are you doing now?"

"Cut down a few slender branches now, as long as they can cross the hole! Then put the rattan net on it, quick!"

So Li Hu, Ming Guang and several young men hurriedly cut off the nearby branches and put them on the pit, and spread the rattan on it according to Mu Feng's request.

After doing all this, everyone still didn't understand what Mu Feng wanted to do, and they all looked at him together.

Mu Feng sighed in his heart, and had no choice but to say: "Now, everyone cuts off the nearby grass, puts it on the rattan net, and spreads the rattan net until the net is no longer visible!"

"Remember, spread it evenly!"

It was also everyone who acted in unison, and soon finished as Mu Feng asked.

More than fifty people looked at Mu Feng together.

Mu Feng was very speechless, so he could only say: "Now, try to get rid of the soil around the pit as much as possible, and then pull the weeds to cover it, it is best not to see the soil!"

Everyone did the same.

A grass trap from modern humans on Earth is thus completed!

In the end, Mu Feng didn't wait for everyone to look at him, he picked up the skin bag and opened it, and sprinkled it on the grass on the trap.

"Ah, Mu Feng, what are you doing?" Li Hu couldn't help exclaiming.

Mu Feng still didn't explain too much, just ordered: "Ten more people, each of them will also sprinkle salt water on the grass!"

After doing this, Mu Feng picked up another skin bag, found a direction and sprinkled water no less than ten meters on the grass leaves.

At the same time, he asked Li Hu and Ming Guang to sprinkle about ten meters of salt water on the grass.

In this way, invisibly, the grass on three lines was sprinkled with salt water, and finally pointed to the trap in front of him.

Mu Feng clapped his hands, nodded in satisfaction, and signaled everyone to follow him and leave quickly.

So far, the trap designed by Mu Feng for wild sheep has been successfully set up, and his domestication plan has officially started!
