Chapter 45: All things have spirits
Xiang Dong gently untied the rope from the mother rabbit so that she could easily feed the baby.
Lin Tingxue said uneasily, "Won't you run away like this, let's tie it up." ”
Xiang Dong said, "No, Mother Rabbit has given birth to a baby and knows that she has to take care of the child, how can she leave the child and run away." ”
"It's a rabbit, not a human. ”
"Animals also have feelings, haven't you heard the saying that everything has a spirit? Believe it or not. ”
Lin Tingxue lowered her head, and sure enough, she saw the mother rabbit lying obediently with the baby breastfeeders, and she had no intention of running away at all.
It was the first time she had seen the scene of all things having spirits, and she couldn't help but think of some pictures related to herself, and her heart was warm.
It's a pity that the two of them have harvested this pregnant rabbit mother this afternoon, and the newly built trap has never caught a rabbit again.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, the two had to pack their things and go back.
Lin Tingxue is responsible for holding this nest of rabbits, and Xiang Dong is responsible for carrying trap equipment, picking some wild vegetables and wild fruits on the way back, and I will make do with it today.
Before returning to the cave, Lin Tingxue put a nest of little bellies in the cave, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and the more she looked at it, the more fun she felt.
Xiang Dong and Song Xin were busy cooking outside, and Song Wei was arguing there for some reason, "Let's eat these things today? This is too nutritious, I'm still pregnant, so it's definitely not okay to eat these things." ”
Xiang Dong raised his head with a cold face, "Why don't you give all my food to your mother and brother, we need to eat these things?"
Song Wei said, "It's over, why are you still holding on." Besides, I apologized to you, and I knew it was wrong, why did you still talk about me. Xiangdong, didn't you bring back a litter of rabbits, why don't you kill them?"
"Don't you see it's a litter of rabbits, how do you kill them?"
"Why can't you kill a little rabbit? The little rabbit is delicious, isn't it better to eat? ”
"Song Wei, I said are you a cold-blooded animal? The baby rabbit that the mother rabbit has just given birth to is like a human who has just given birth to a child, and is fragile, are you embarrassed to eat it?"
"Xiangdong, are you mistaken, you are so sympathetic to a rabbit, why are you so ruthless to me. It's pitiful, you can't bear it, what about me, I'm not pitiful?"
"I am pregnant with your child, how hard it is, you will give me these wild vegetables and fruits. I don't want to eat rabbit meat!"
Xiang Dong waved his hand, "If you love to eat, you don't want to eat, and you don't eat to pull it down!"
Song Wei was choked and speechless, glanced at Lin Tingxue's direction fiercely, and then walked away with a snort.
Lin Tingxue smiled, ignored the outside affairs, and continued to busy herself.
The meal was quickly ready, Xiang Dong, Lin Tingxue, and Song Xin each served soup and drank it, and Song Weiwu sat on the side, waiting for others to serve it to her?
Think beautifully!
I really can't help my stomach "gurgling", so she still serves the soup by herself.
Shicai dislikes it in every way, and now he hypocritically says that this soup is actually quite delicious, but in fact, it is just to continue to create the image of a good person in front of Xiang Dong.
Xiang Dong didn't bother to expose her for her tricks.
After eating, Xiang Dong told Lin Tingxue that he wanted to build a nest for rabbits, "I think that area is good, I plan to cover all of it, and we can breed it on a large scale in the future, so we don't have to hunt anymore." And it's not just rabbits that can be raised, we can raise many animals on this island. Listen to the snow, what do you think?"
Looking at Xiangdong's grand plan, Lin Tingxue only felt excited, "Okay, self-sufficient, with plenty of food and clothing." I very much agree with your proposal, and we should develop not only animal husbandry, but also agriculture, and create a new area for planting. ”
"That's what I thought. "The two men are completely on the same page.
Song Wei's voice came at an inopportune time at this time, "It's not that I hit you and poured cold water on you, if there were just a few of us on this island, your grand plan would definitely be fine, but don't forget, there are Sun Yaobin and them." They are so hungry that they don't even have anything to eat, but you are still breeding and planting here, and I am afraid that if you don't raise them, they will rob them. ”
The two glanced at each other and ignored Song Wei's words at all.
Song Wei was stunned, not to mention how ugly her face was.
"Let's go over there. Xiang Dong said to Lin Tingxue.
Song Xin trotted to follow, "Brother-in-law, I want to go with you." ”
"Let's go together. ”
The three of them came to the place designed by Xiangdong in Shicai, roughly measured the size of this place in steps, and then Xiangdong first designed the plan of this place in his mind.
Lin Tingxue and Song Xin couldn't help much in this regard, but they could help weed, mark with stones, or something.
To the east, roughly calculated, this place is about 3,000 square meters, that is, five acres of land.
With such a large area, if it is used for breeding, it can raise thousands of rabbits.
To build a house that can breed thousands of rabbits at one time, the project is too big, they can build a little first, and then breed again when those rabbits grow up in the future, and then continue to expand the rabbit house.
His plan is that half of the space will be taken up by the rabbit hutch, and the remaining half can be used to raise other animals.
"What do you think?"
"That's good. Lin Tingxue nodded in agreement.
Song Xin also nodded, "I also think it's good." Brother-in-law, when are we going to start?"
"Without further ado, let's get started now. Let's get rid of the weeds in this patch first. ”
As he spoke, Xiang Dong rolled up his sleeves and went straight to work.
Lin Tingxue and Song Xin were not to be outdone, they took off their coats one by one and followed Xiangdong to work together.
Song Wei, who was not far away, looked at this scene and couldn't help but sneer, "Everyone is a fool, what do you think about farming in this kind of place." ”
If they want to go crazy, let them go crazy, and she won't be involved anyway.
Xiang Dong and the others were busy until nightfall, and only then did they clear a small area.
This desert island is overgrown with weeds, and the soil is very hard, and it is not a trivial matter to be aware of these weeds.
Lin Tingxue and Song Xin are two girls in the end, they have little strength, and they can't bear it after being busy for a while, so they all rely on Xiang Dong to support them alone.
In addition, the tools used by everyone are not very good, which delays the efficiency.
However, although the work is hard, everyone enjoys it.
This kind of purposeful busyness can see hope.
Xiang Dong didn't forget that he was going to accompany Lin Tingxue to take a bath tonight, but Song Xin was also busy all afternoon, and he must have sweated a lot, so the two of them went together.
This time, Lin Tingxue did not reject Song Xin, and gave Song Xin a bottle of shower gel for her to use.
The three of them brought toiletries and walked towards the beach with a smile, Song Wei was like air, no one paid attention to her, no one talked to her, and no one asked her if she wanted to wash it.
They didn't ask, but Song Wei could find her cheekily.
Everyone still ignores her, so follow suit.
So, a group of four people walked towards the beach at night.
In order not to have any conflict with Sun Yaobin and them, several people made a special detour to avoid Sun Yaobin and them.
Lin Tingxue's bathing place is behind a large rock, which can become a natural barrier, and only need to lean on the rocky side to the east to defend against bad people coming from the beach.
The waves crash against the beach, and every now and then there is a "whoosh" sound.
The three women were bathing behind the rocks, and they didn't know what that scene was like.
Xiang Dong wanted to turn his head and take a look, this was a normal mental reaction of a normal man, but reason told him that he was here to be a flower messenger, not a voyeur, and he couldn't do things that he shouldn't do.
A person has nothing to do, and he can't help but think about more things to the east.
Two days ago, Gao Mei specially asked him to tell him about Sun Yaobin and others, and a few days have passed, why don't you see any movement from them?
Is something going on over there, or is Gao Mei's message simply not accurate?
As he was thinking wildly, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be happening in the trees in the distance, and there was a faint shout, and there were scattered fires jumping between the trees.
It's Sun Yaobin, what are they doing?
Looking at the direction of the firelight's departure, weren't those people heading in the direction of their cave?
Xiang Dong subconsciously wanted to go over and take a look, but when he left, what would the few women behind the rocks do?
"Listen to the snow, Song Xin, do you have a slingshot?"
"With it. ”
"What's wrong, Xiang Dong?"
"I found that Sun Yaobin and they seem to be heading for our territory, I have to go back and have a look. Be careful yourselves!"
"Okay, we'll be careful, you can go back and have a look. Lin Tingxue said.
Xiang Dong answered, pulled his legs and ran.
He took a shortcut and hurried back to the cave as fast as he could.
But it was still a step too late, Sun Yaobin's entire team came here, and there were several people climbing on the bush tree where the food was originally hidden, but to their disappointment, there were no ingredients on it.
Including the wild mountain mushrooms in the cave, they are gone, and only a litter of newborn rabbits remains.
Zhang Chao threw the nest of rabbits on the ground in disgust, and pointed to Xiang Dong's nose to spread the wild, "The surname Xiang, where are the things?"
Xiang Dong looked at the nest of rabbits, and he was about to step forward to teach Zhang Chao a lesson, but saw Zhang Chao take out a crossbow very similar to the one he made from behind him, facing Xiang Dong's head.
"Hmph, arrogant, continue to be arrogant. Dare to mess around and try to see if I don't blow your head out. ”
Xiang Dong subconsciously glanced at Gao Mei in the crowd, only to see Gao Mei shaking her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know what was going on.
Xiang Dong didn't want to know how Zhang Chao and the others' crossbows came to be now, he knew that Zhang Chao had lost his things, and he was very angry now, very angry!
