Su Yang took a few soldiers out, this is for his own safety, and if he encounters a small animal, he can also catch it and raise it, of course, he also needs labor after finding the clay.

He didn't go to the forest to look for it, but specifically went to look for Popo Kankan, which was a smart approach, but his luck was not good, and the dirt near here didn't feel right with his hands, so he didn't have to go back and try it at all.

When I had to go back in the evening, I didn't find the clay, but I accidentally found a litter of rabbits, gray rabbits, theoretically speaking, gray rabbits should grow faster than pure white rabbits. Of course, it depends on what kind of breed it is.

But who knew that the soldiers were too fast at this time, and he only had time to save two small rabbits, and the rest were all killed, which is really a pity.

But luckily, both of them are female rabbits, and as a veterinarian, he can distinguish between male and female rabbits that are less than full moon rabbits, which is a technical job. The two rabbits in hand are both female rabbits, and they were raised first.

When they returned to the tribe, the elders had already sent someone to bring food for eleven people, and the eldest girl belonged to the helpers and went back to eat herself.

Su Yang sat in the new cave, the things in it were very simple, all of them were bamboo, but he had a very strong sense of it, he learned to distribute food like Matsu did on weekdays, basically making everyone's portion about the same, but there was a difference in quality, and those who performed well ate well.

The effect looks good, no one has complaints, and even if there is, they don't dare to disagree, you must know that Chun Ke is one of the sixteen qualified warriors of the tribe, no one present can fight, and there is Matsu on it to support him.

At night, he left half of the people to work overtime, and made a rabbit cage by the fire, which looked similar to the baby's cradle, but it was very simple, and the gap was very large, which was to ensure that the rabbit's feet did not touch the ground, and the leftover forage and excrement could leak from the gap, and keep it hygienic, dry and ventilated at any time, so that it was not easy to have parasites, and the survival rate of the rabbit and the speed of growing meat would be greatly improved.

"Let's start with rabbits!"

Su Yang rubbed his hands excitedly, of course, this matter still needs the support of the old man Matsu, and he went to ask for instructions the next morning, proposing that a large number of live rabbits are needed, and asking the soldiers to observe what forage the rabbits like to eat, and let the women go out to collect in the future, and pull the rabbit grass back by the way.

But the old man was a little incomprehensible, she thought that since she could hunt rabbits outside, why bother to catch them alive and feed them, and collect rabbit food, isn't this nothing to do?

Su Yang organized the language for a while, and then persuaded him: "Matsu, last time I heard about the Chaos Tribe, more than ten years ago, the Chaos tribe had a population of five or six full, and the population of our Rock Tribe was less than three full. Now the population of the Chao tribe is still so large, and our rock tribe has greatly surpassed the Chaos. What causes this? ”

After the old man understood what he said, he replied: "All the people of the chaotic tribe went out to hunt, and they died more than the rock tribe, and now the rock tribe only has brute warriors to go out to hunt, and the children can grow up safely in the tribe." ”

Su Yang clapped his hands, "That's the reason, this year we can hunt five full rabbits, then next year will be the same, there is not much difference." But if we take these five-full rabbits back and raise them, then next year we can get ten, dozens, many, many full rabbits. ”

He stretched out his hands and said that people have to go through ten winters before they can become laborers, and rabbits can grow up to eat meat in half a year.

There is still a lot of information that cannot be expressed, such as the reproduction rate of rabbits, female rabbits reproduce three times a year without pressure, the gestation period is short, as long as it is about a month, it grows fast, it eats grass, and it grows meat. Although the male rabbit is a family of almost 30 seconds, he can launch 20 times in a month without pressure and be alive and kicking.

The most important thing is that he is a veterinarian, has seen the base of large-scale rabbit breeding, knows how to prevent diseases, and quickly deal with some diseases.

Of course, there will definitely be problems in the early exploration process, but in the end, it will definitely succeed, which he can swear by with his toes.

"Matsu, we raise our own rabbits, and all we pay is for the women to bring some rabbit grass back when they collect it. And we can also let the children under the full festival go to find rabbit grass, we still have a surplus cave, that is, no waste of manpower, no waste of space, and no waste of our food, and finally the rabbit is raised, and there is no shortage of meat in the tribe. At least there is food in winter, there is no need to go out in the wind and snow, and there are more rabbit skins and meat, so there will be no death in winter. ”

The old man fell into thought, she was digesting what Su Yang said, if she said something else, she might not be able to understand it for a while, but the situation of the chaotic tribe and the rock tribe was in front of her, as one of the founders of the rock tribe, she naturally knew the main reason for the difference in population between the two tribes, and the most straightforward point was safety.

And now, as Su Yang said, rabbits grow on their own outside, which is naturally not safe, but in the tribe, they are safe, and naturally they should get more.

The old man was moved again, and he called the other four elders vigorously, and asked Su Yang to repeat the previous words, plus her explanation, and then this matter was done.

Immediately after that, all the tribe was gathered to the open space outside the cave, it would be early morning, and everyone had not gone out yet, just in time.

"Tribesmen of the Rock Tribe, from now on, you all try your best to catch rabbits, alive, we want live rabbits, and send them to Dundun after catching them......"

A mobilization meeting to catch all the rabbits began, which made Su Yang dumbfounded, according to his idea, it is enough to take it slowly, it is enough to raise a dozen or twenty first, I didn't expect it to be so big this time, maybe this is the advantage of the collective system, enough unity, and the strength of many people.

After the convention, the rabbit catching operation began, and almost all the adult men and women went out, the women moved around the safe area and the men ran further.

This made Su Yang hurriedly urge his ten helpers to hurry up and make rabbit cages, clean up the cave, and when the rabbits were caught, they couldn't fail in the details.

In the afternoon he went out again to look for clay, even if he saw other small animals on the way, he didn't care about it, my brother can't raise it now, and he is busy enough to focus on pottery and rabbits, you must know that he is only eight years old, or child labor.

But after this winter, he will be nine years old, and it won't be long.

However, catching rabbits is not so smooth, you must know that the three holes of cunning rabbits, especially those that have to be caught alive, are even more difficult, because even if you see rabbits, you may not be able to catch up, and you may not be able to pounce alive if you catch up.

When the matter of clay came to an eyebrow, he found that the soil on a small hillside was very similar to clay, but this hill was rocky and less soil, and it would not be enough to fire it in large quantities at that time, so he took two steps, while letting people dig up soil from here and return to the tribe to prepare, while continuing to go out to find a new source of soil.

At the same time, Su Yang also asked his two miscellaneous uncles to polish the base stone tools for him to make pottery, which needs to be as round as possible, flat and smooth, this thing cannot be omitted, in fact, it can also be replaced by flat wood, but there is no sharp knife, so it is better to polish the stone tools.
