Chapter 17: Wren Returns Home Again
On this day, Anna was tracking the goats up the hill looking for salty rocks.
The fourth Cullen's eager voice sounded: "Anna, Wren has been driven out of the Eagle Clan. ”
After more than a month of getting along, he gradually got used to the changes in his family.
Anna seems to have become the backbone of the family.
Build stone houses, engage in planting, chisel stone pots, roast sweet potatoes, and boil corn.
He had never thought of it before, but now he was used to it.
Either way, their home life is a little bit uplifted.
Anna wondered, "Why did he come back?" ”
Didn't this guy go to the door son-in-law?
Karen said: "I heard that there is no delivery~!" The ability to mate was driven out by the little female. ”
Anna looked subtle.
Cullen had a bad look on his face, "He hasn't eaten for three days, and my mother asked me to go up the mountain and catch some rabbits for him to eat." ”
Today it was his turn to protect Daisy at home, so he could come over and report the news.
Anna shook her head, "Leave him alone, bring this stone back." ”
She had noticed that goats often came over to lick the stone.
She also tasted it with a salty taste, and she should be able to refine the salt.
Of course, refining salt is just a pretense so that she can take out the edible salt from the supermarket.
"Karen, what are you carrying a rock, I want to eat meat, I'm dying of hunger." Wren sat on the ground and rubbed his stomach a little angrily.
Before Elusa kicked him out, she deliberately locked him up in a small dark room for three days.
There was no food or water during this period, and his legs were still weak from hunger.
"Put it in a stone jar and add water over the stones." Anna commanded faintly.
Karen bowed his head and took the barrel and went to the river to carry water.
"Hey, Anna, you're back." Wren had a flattering smile on his face, but his body honestly hid in the corner.
When he came back this time, he was shocked to see the stone house.
The stone roof is built with three bedrooms and one living room, and there is also a special place for excretion.
Compared to the wooden house, one is in heaven and one on the earth.
Anna took Wren for air and skipped straight in front of him.
Wren didn't miss the opportunity to curry favor, he hurriedly said: "Anna, this egg seems to be about to break." ”
He held the egg in his hand, and he was still a little scared in his heart.
Anna turned her head and took the egg to examine it carefully.
Sure enough, I saw a slight crack in the upper end of the egg, and it was indeed about to break.
"I've been warm, and you're still warm to the touch." Wren continued to recount his credits, and the smile on his face never stopped.
Anna said lightly: "If you are hungry, you will go hunting by yourself." ”
Daisy accepted Wren, and she couldn't get rid of anyone again.
It's just that there is only one chance, and it depends on whether the other party can grasp it.
Wren nodded doggedly and hurriedly ran out of the stone house.
"Roar, roar, roar." Brother, brother. In a little more than a month, Greer has grown to knee height.
The growth rate is extremely fast, and it is like a blown ball.
"Roar, roar, roar." Mother, my brother is coming out. Although Natsu is a few days behind Wren, her development is not slow.
Two little things standing together, about the same height.
Anna also looked at the egg with anticipation, and the last one was finally about to hatch.
If it weren't for the fact that it would shake every day, it would have thought it was an egg that had not developed successfully.
But after three days of waiting, there were still no holes in the eggshell.
Daisy was a little worried, "Anna, why don't we help him?" ”
There was a constant scratching sound inside the egg, which showed that the little one was also very anxious.
"Wait." Anna was also a little anxious, but she was still a little hesitant.
The cubs don't have the pointed beaks of birds, so it's not easy to break through the shells.
She touched the eggshell, which was indeed thicker than the previous two.
Wait until midnight, click, click.
Anna, who was asleep, immediately opened her eyes, and she grabbed a flashlight from the supermarket.
She shone towards the sound, and there was a black, living creature crouching in the corner.
"Roar, roar, roar." Mother, is a younger brother.
Grell also woke up, and he flew excitedly to the corner and circled in the air.
Anna tiptoed to the corner with the lights on.
"Cubs?"
She reached out to touch it, but when she touched the little one, it shrank into a ball.
And the body also became hard as iron, like a lump of iron.
"Roar, roar, roar." Mother, I'm coming. Natsu walked over with small steps, and he patted the little one with both front paws.
"Roar, roar, roar."
It's a beast language that Anna doesn't understand.
The little guy replied twice, and then cautiously raised his head.
The gentle gaze and familiar aura on Anna's body made the little guy remember.
He walked on his short legs and rubbed against Anna's legs.
By the time Sean saw the third child, it was already the second day, and he was very happy.
Looking at the three little cubs standing in a row, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
All three eggs hatched, and he was relieved.
"Sean, you can name the cub." Daisy's eyes were sparkling and she was looking forward to it.
Sean said, "It's called Lias." ”
Lias.
Anna bowed her head, a domineering-sounding name.
After breakfast, the males went up the mountain to hunt.
Wren did not want to hunt and had to stay at home to do coolies.
Anna commanded, "Scoop out all the water in the jar." ”
After soaking in the salty stone for a few days, the water also brought a salty taste, and she was ready to boil the water to refine the salt.
Wren was reluctant to do so, but he had to honestly scoop the salt water into the stone pot.
"Anna, what are you doing here?" Wren secretly tasted the water, and the salty one was not good at all.
"Salt making." Anna's expression was pale.
To prevent pot batter, she needs to stir constantly.
"Isn't salt mined from salt mines? Can it still be boiled out? Wren really didn't understand.
Anna glared at Wren irritably, "Less nonsense, add firewood." ”
Wren shut up and squatted on the ground to add firewood to the obedient firewood.
After waiting for about half an hour, the water in the stone pot finally boiled dry, and a white crystal remained at the bottom of the pot.
Wren hurriedly dipped a little and tasted it, and his eyes instantly lit up. "It's really salt."
"A handful of salt can be exchanged for a sheep, and we won't have to hunt in the future." Wren had already begun to dream of trading salt for food.
He was finally able to lie down at home.
Then there was no need to rush, his movements were more swift.
By the afternoon, the vats full of salt water had been made into salt, and the entire bucket was filled.
Wren drooled as he watched the salt, which had automatically turned into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Anna, exchange this salt for food, enough for us to eat for half a year." Daisy was also said to be tempted, with a face full of anticipation.
Anna thought for a moment, "Yes. ”
She really shouldn't eat and drink for nothing.
There is no need to stir-fry at the moment, and the salt will naturally not be consumed so quickly.
Wren immediately smiled and ran out with a bucket of salt.
However, when the males returned from hunting, he did not return.
Daisy was a little worried: "Sean, why don't you go and find Wren, don't be robbed of salt and something will happen." ”
Anna shook her head, she didn't think so.
I'm afraid that this guy used his crooked mind and ate alone.
Sure enough, after searching all night, Sean found nothing.
Gradually, everyone figured out what was going on, and there was nothing else in their hearts except disappointment.
Only Daisy cried once, and she couldn't recover for a few days.
