The interest in eating mulberries was disturbed by the 'foreign spicy food'. Han Cheng and Tietou climbed up and picked some more before returning home. These mulberries were gifts to the tribe.
Because he had just encountered a mythical beast like the 'Foreign Spicy', Han Cheng seemed a little cautious when he picked it again. He did not dare to be as carefree as before, worrying that he would be taken care of again.
At this time, the rain also stopped, and Han Cheng and the others put the mulberries they picked into the bamboo hats that were turned upside down.
A group of people started walking back.
"Stop."
The senior brother at the front who was holding the stone spear suddenly turned his head and said to the crowd.
Han Cheng couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Did he hit a beast?
With a mixture of fear and anticipation, he leaned closer to Junior Brother Sha and looked in the direction of Senior Brother's finger.
Didn’t you see any wild beasts?
Han Cheng was confused and looked around. Then...
Then I discovered that about ten meters ahead, a gray rabbit was squatting there and eating grass intently.
When Han Cheng saw this, he was greatly disappointed. A rabbit could be groomed so grandly...
The eldest brother held the stone spear in his hand, stood on tiptoes, and approached the rabbit in front of him gently.
After getting closer to two meters, the rabbit became alert, looked up at the senior brother, and then ran away.
The senior brother, who was well prepared, waved his right hand and the stone spear came out of his hand and flew towards the rabbit.
Then...the fork didn't hit the target, and the frightened rabbit jumped away.
"Ouch~ow~ow~"
The senior brother shouted and chased the frightened rabbit. The others also shouted and chased. Only junior brother Sha and Tietou were responsible for guarding Han Cheng, so they did not leave, but judging from their expressions
, obviously also has some technical itch.
About ten minutes later, the senior brother who was a little out of breath came back with the others who also looked a little out of breath. The senior brother was holding the dead rabbit in his hand.
I haven't hunted for a long time, and today I unexpectedly met a rabbit, which made everyone a little excited.
Han Cheng looked at this rabbit, which looked larger than most of the rabbits raised in the tribe, and suddenly frowned.
It is said that the rabbits in the tribe eat when they are hungry, sleep when they eat, and mate when they are interested. They live like pigs and are only bigger than the wild ones outside.
But now, it is not as good as the wild one, which makes Han Cheng a little confused.
With Wu, a person who just goes to the rabbit circle when he has nothing to do, there is no chance that the rabbit will be hungry at all.
If it's not a food problem, then what's the reason?
Han Cheng couldn't help but miss his sister.
After returning to the tribe, Han Cheng washed the purple stain on his hands and face, but after he threw two mulberries into his mouth, he carried the wild rabbit and walked to the rabbit pen with the witch.
Wu didn't understand what the Son of God meant at first, thinking that the Son of God wanted to eat rabbit meat, so he held a small wooden stick with a kind face and followed Han Cheng to the rabbit pen, grabbed an adult rabbit from inside and started to attack.
, was stopped by Han Cheng.
The witch was a little confused and didn't understand what the Son of God meant by this move.
It was only after Han Cheng put the wild rabbit in his hand and the one in Wu's hand together for comparison that Wu suddenly realized the difference.
They are both rabbits, so why is the gap so big?
Wu looked at the obviously plump hare, then looked at the one in his hand, put the rabbit back into the rabbit pen, and then fished out another one from it.
After comparison, it was discovered that most of the rabbits kept in captivity by the Qingque tribe were not as fat as this wild rabbit.
Wu scratched his head with his short stick hand, looking at the obviously different rabbits, and then at the grass used to feed the rabbits on the raft not far away, as well as the uneaten grass in the rabbit pen.
, also full of confusion.
I have never owed these rabbits anything, so why can't they grow up like wild ones?
"Is it because I don't exercise enough?"
Han Cheng thought this, and then smiled and shook his head. He had only heard of people getting fat by eating without exercise, but he had never heard of people losing weight.
Unable to understand what was going on, Han Cheng could only take out his anger on these unsatisfactory rabbits. Han Cheng asked Wu to take out nine more rabbits from the rabbit pen, beat them to death one by one, prepare a pot for the fat wild rabbits, and drink rabbit soup at night.
After seeing that the sky was clear, he started to have a meal with the tribesmen who were stuck on the mud roof without any further instructions.
Rabbits are easier to peel. As long as the head is taken care of, you can peel off a 'tube skin'.
The peeled rabbit skin is soaked in plant ash for a day and night. After it is taken out, washed and dried, it becomes a soft and good piece of skin.
Fu Jiang stood aside with his tail wagging, looking at his master expectantly, hoping to get some fresh meat from his hands.
Fu Jiang, who has lived with the Qingque tribe since he was a child and was deliberately trained by Han Cheng, no longer has much wolfish nature.
"Bah"
Han Cheng threw the dug out internal organs to General Fu who was waiting aside. General Fu caught it and took it aside to share with himself.
Uncle Lu also wanted to come over and have a bite, but Fu Jiang bit him on the nose and left angrily.
Ten rabbits, seven stewed in soup, and three were barbecued. Everyone who had eaten too much fish felt that the rabbit meat tasted extremely delicious.
So much so that after most of the vat of rabbit soup was finished, everyone turned to the fish soup...
Wu still looked a little melancholy. Even after killing nine rabbits and experiencing that wonderful feeling again, he still couldn't resolve the sadness in his heart.
Why are they all rabbits, but the ones you feed yourself are smaller?
This is the countless times he has asked himself this question.
Wu also experienced the feeling of tossing and turning and being unable to sleep...
Got it!
Han Cheng, who was helping to put tiles into the rafter head, suddenly had an idea flash in his mind. The problem that had troubled him and Wu for more than two days was finally solved!
Inbreeding! It should be inbreeding!
These rabbits in the Qingque tribe are all descendants of the two old rabbits. After breeding like this for countless generations, it is reasonable for the rabbits to become weak.
In order to make the descendants of the tribe strong and able to reproduce, several nearby tribes even got together to hold a happy party this year, but I had forgotten about it!
Not only rabbits, but also deer will have to consider this issue in the future.
Han Cheng called Wu and asked him to identify the larger rabbits. Sure enough, these larger rabbits were basically early rabbits...
Wu asked Han Cheng why, Han Cheng expressed his opinion, and Wu showed a look of surprise.
Now that we have found the crux of the problem, it is easy to solve. All we need to do is catch a few wild rabbits and throw them into the rabbit pen...
