Chapter Eighty-Nine: Six Little Bunnies
Zhou Heng found a worm and reached out to catch it. The thing looked a bit like a beetle, with powerful front paws that gripped the tender bamboo and refused to relax.
The skin of this young bamboo has been bitten and flowered, and by tomorrow, this one will inevitably be bitten to death.
Zhou Heng unceremoniously took down the worm, put it in a bottle and covered it.
Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at the place where the tender bamboo was bitten and praised: "You are really kind!"
Zhou Heng said: "Actually, I took a fancy to this bug, and it was good to drink." ”
"This ...... Can you eat it?" Jiang Xiaoxuan's face was a little frightened.
Well, she knew that there was a famous "Hundred Insect Banquet" in southern Yunnan, and she had personally seen it, and it was said that they were very nutritious and high in protein, but she just didn't dare to try it, and she couldn't pass the psychological level.
There are really brave people everywhere.
Zhou Heng said: "This is not only edible, but also very delicious." Would you like to try it later?"
Jiang Xiaoxuan shook her head like a wave, she regretted coming a little.
Zhou Heng laughed: "Don't regret it, this is really delicious." ”
I searched all the way, but I caught a lot of worms, and the bottle was filled with a third.
Jiang Xiaoxuan felt a little numb in her scalp, and she wanted to go back.
Zhou Heng stretched out his hand and knocked on a bamboo tree casually, the sound inside was very crisp, there was no noise, this one was good.
If there is that kind of empty sound inside, then there will be insects in this bamboo, and eighty percent of it will not survive.
There is also a kind of insect in the bamboo, and it is also harmful to eat the whole bamboo into an empty section if it eats it down.
A bamboo insect the size of a grain of rice, growing to the thickness of a finger, only needs 20 days, and eats all day long.
Speaking of which, bamboo is really a lot of disasters, and the bamboo roots under the ground are still eaten by bamboo rats every day.
Zhou Heng slowly looked for the insects, and suddenly Jiang Xiaoxuan asked in a low voice, "Eh, look at it, what is that?"
The voice is small and a little scared.
Zhou Heng turned around and looked in the direction she pointed, on the ground full of dead grass and fallen leaves, there was a very strange thing, with fluff in the weeds, and there was a sound in it.
I have to say that girls are more careful, if it was Zhou Heng, eighty percent wouldn't be able to see it even if they stood next to that mass of things, maybe they would step on it.
Just seeing the weeds outside, it looked like a nest, but Zhou Heng couldn't tell what was inside, so he walked over lightly and gently opened it with a branch to take a look.
Peeling open a cloud of dead leaves, there was a small hole inside. When you crouch down and look at it, there is more fluff in it.
Zhou Heng whispered: "This may be a hare nest." When the hare lays, they will make a hole in the secret place, and then pull off their own hair to make a nest to keep the rabbits warm. Fearing that it would be discovered by its predators, it sealed the hole with withered grass itself. ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at him, a little unconscious.
Zhou Heng gently picked the hole with a branch, and said: "It's so quiet, nothing jumps out, the female rabbit should go out to find food." ”
He turned the nest over a little, and there were five or six dark gray rabbits in it, who had just been born for two or three days.
The little rabbits huddled together, waiting to be fed, and there were no big rabbits to take care of them.
Jiang Xiaoxuan suddenly became playful, and exclaimed in surprise: "What a cute little hare." ”
Pick up her camera and shoot it non-stop.
Zhou Heng was a little unbearable when he saw her so happy, and said, "I heard a legend. ”
"What legend?"
"That is to say, if the hare is stained with the smell of a man, their wife will bite them to death or even eat them when they come back. ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan was really startled, and was stunned for a while before asking: "True or fake? Impossible, right? Tiger poison doesn't eat children, who will eat their cubs?"
Zhou Heng said: "There are a lot, bamboo rats will also eat, stained with the smell of people, they will not recognize their cubs, they are distinguished by smell." ”
"But isn't the rabbit a herbivore? ”
Zhou Hengyi stretched out his hands: "Who knows? Anyway, I have heard a saying: rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry." Think about it, what can't it bite?"
"That'...... So what should I do?" Jiang Xiaoxuan was very flustered.
"We haven't touched its cubs, we're all pulling them with sticks, it doesn't matter. But I have a hunch that maybe the rabbit we ate at noon was their old lady. ”
Jiang Xiaoxuan was stunned again.
This......
Judging from the color of the coat, it is not impossible.
Although the hare was chased to death by the Great Yellow Dog, the law of nature is like this, even if it is not the Great Yellow Dog, they have other enemies. Hares are at the bottom of the food chain in the forest.
Half of the cubs in the forest can grow up and reproduce naturally, and half of them are the food needed by other animals to reproduce.
Even if they are not eaten by predators, they will die of illness and other reasons.
"That'...... Raise them!" Jiang Xiaoxuan said.
"I'm raising?!" Zhou Heng asked rhetorically.
At this moment, the mobile phone "ticked", which was the sound of the breeding APP.
Zhou Heng picked it up and looked at it, and was immediately stunned, this APP is too funny, right?
[The third-order quest has been activated, and the randomly farmed crop is a hare.] 】
[The third-order task has been activated, and you will get an initial gift package, please click to claim it.] 】
[Third-order mission: 500 free-range hares.] Progress Completed: 6/500]
This morning, it was said that random breeding, how did this become raising hares?
He asked a lot of questions in the morning, raising cattle and sheep, but he didn't respond, why did he suddenly react now?
He pondered whether his last sentence of "I raised" touched the key to the task.
The problem is that he is asking rhetorically, not a statement! He has no intention of raising hares himself!
It's too late to say anything, the quest has been activated, and the rewards have been sent.
He didn't claim the reward and planned to go back.
So what kind of random method is this random? Is it necessary to have a physical object near oneself?
If he had just said "I'll raise it" to a panda cub, would that trigger the quest?
Zhou Heng thought to himself, fortunately, this is not a nest of scorpions, otherwise he accidentally said "I raise", and it may be activated to raise scorpions.
He silently made a simple nest out of dry grass, put six little hare cubs on them, and then carried them back with his hands.
He also wrapped the rabbit fur from the original rabbit nest, which was soft and smelled of a female rabbit, which could reassure the little rabbits.
The task that I activated by myself is also going to be raised with tears.
Jiang Xiaoxuan looked at Zhou Heng's careful movements and thought to herself, this man is quite caring.
Returning to the team, the litter of little hares that Zhou Heng brought back was suddenly surrounded by people, and everyone wanted to squeeze forward to take a look.
After all, not everyone has ever seen a hare.
One by one, they questioned: "It's so small, what does it eat, can it feed?"
"I heard that rabbits want to drink goat's milk, but human milk can't do it, so you can't give it to them. ”
"Human milk? You're too good, aren't you? Shouldn't people be human milk?"
"Bah, it's okay if I'm wrong? People can't drink milk, you can't feed rabbits, otherwise you're going to have indigestion. ”
These students, who suck pets through the online cloud, are all gossiping.
Zhou Heng was also thinking, can he feed this bunch of small things if he brings them back? At least, it takes half a day to go back from here, and in this half a day, the little rabbits can hold on without eating or drinking?
He wasn't sure.
I don't know how long these little ones have been hungry.
For the sake of the little bunnies, the students decided to set off and return immediately, and they were almost rested anyway. I've also shot all the videos that should be taken, so I can go back and get the draft or something.
A group of people walked back in a mighty way.
Of course, the way you went back is not exactly the same as when you came, so you can take pictures of different scenery along the way.
Zhou Heng came out with a bamboo basket on his back, thinking that he wanted to carry some mushrooms and bamboo shoots or something, but this was good, so he carried six hare cubs.
The students walked in front, and he guarded the safety behind him.
So boring.
Looking at Jiang Xiaoxuan's walking figure, I feel that she is really tall. The main thing is that some people's dress, or their own temperament, will make people taller, which depends on the matching technology.
Zhou Heng thought of it again in the morning, when he was resting somewhere, he took a picture of her, and it almost made her laugh.
Not convinced, he took out his mobile phone and took a few photos of her.
Zhou Heng looked left and right by himself, and felt that the shooting was really good, very beautiful, is it so ridiculous?
How can one meter six or seven be shot into one meter and twenty-seven?!
After looking at his phone for a while, he thought, no one pays attention to him anyway, so it is better to get the gift bag in the APP first and see what it is.
Click to claim, and the phone displays:
[Congratulations on successfully receiving the gift package and getting a "Purple Cloud Pill".] 】
Correspondingly, there is also an explanation that Ziyun Pill can provide the nutrients needed by the little rabbits, enhance their ability to resist disease, improve their meat structure, make their meat more delicious when they grow up, and humans will get more nutrients after eating.
THE USAGE IS TO DISSOLVE THIS PILL WITH 500ML OF WATER, WHICH IS THE AMOUNT OF FIVE HUNDRED HARE.
Speaking of which, it also answered one of Zhou Heng's doubts.
Zhou Heng has never raised rabbits, and when he was a child, he heard others say that rabbits can't drink water, even if there is water on the radish leaves, rabbits will be poisoned and die if they eat it, so he has always believed that rabbits can't drink water.
However, this is not the case.
Because the gastrointestinal ability of rabbits is very weak, the amount of water that needs to be ingested is limited, but generally the water content in radishes and radish leaves is very sufficient, so under normal circumstances, there is no need to feed additional water, and even the leaves have to be slightly dried before feeding.
If you feed water again, it is equivalent to ingesting too much water, which will cause gastrointestinal diseases in rabbits, resulting in rapid death.
This is not to say that water is poisonous to rabbits and should not be drunk.
But like a hare that eats pure dry feed, it needs to be fed with a moderate amount of water, otherwise, it will not die of thirst.
For example, now, these little rabbits have no milk to drink, and they can't ingest other things, and in weather like this, they will soon become dried rabbits.
