Chapter 182: Escape from the World of Beasts and Farming (10)
After planting potatoes, Lin Qinghe found sweet potatoes and peppers. She immediately transplanted a small part of them in the yard, and placed most of the others in her own space.
"Hu Xi, did you steal the rabbits again?" Lin Qinghe counted the rabbits he raised and found that two were missing.
Shechen didn't dare to steal food. He usually ate outside until he was full before coming back. The rabbits in the yard were not enough for him to satisfy his hunger.
That could only be something that Hu Xi stole.
"They ran away and I saw them. I definitely can't let them run away in front of me." So he put them into his mouth. Hu Xi sat on the floor, but his eyes never left the rabbit shivering in the corner of the yard.
"At least leave a few to give birth." Lin Qinghe was helpless when she heard him say that.
These rabbits have a strong reproductive capacity and give birth to a litter of babies every month. It’s okay for Fox Xi to steal and eat a few of them, because another litter of babies will be coming soon anyway.
After telling him not to eat too much and to at least keep the mother rabbit, Lin Qinghe went to see the chickens he had caught and tied up a few days ago.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck." The rooster was extremely aggressive. When it saw Lin Qinghe, it acted as if it saw an enemy, and its eyes turned red.
"It really is a fighting chicken?" Lin Qinghe's eyes twitched. The fighting power of this chicken was really amazing.
The chickens in the orc world are three times larger than the roosters she had seen in the modern plane before. Because they are wild and have not been domesticated, these chickens living in the jungle have terrifyingly high attack power.
Every time the sharp beak bit, a bloody line would appear. In order to catch these six chickens, Hu Xi was bitten several times, and the bloody cuts have not healed yet.
The rooster flapped its wings and was stepped on by Lin Qinghe. These chickens can really fly, and she tied up their wings to prevent them from flying away.
There were six chickens, two females and four males. The hens had lower fighting power but slightly better personalities. After being trained by Lin Qinghe over the past few days, they had become much gentler. Lin Qinghe made a cage with branches and kept them in it.
There are only these two big roosters. They won’t eat anything and won’t drink water. They are almost starving to death. They look like they are about to die heroically.
Lin Qinghe looked at the stubborn look of Brother Chicken. She tamed the two big roosters for a while, but seeing that they still refused to drink water or eat food, her patience was worn out. She took out a kitchen knife and pointed it at the chicken's neck.
"Well, we should drain the blood first. Chicken blood is a good thing..." Lin Qinghe murmured. A porcelain bowl appeared in his hand. He broke the chicken's neck and placed it on the bowl to collect the blood.
Then he raised his knife and slashed it, "click...click..."
A stubborn rooster fell down and made a dying sound.
Lin Qinghe held down its body, and after making sure it would not struggle any more and was dead, he turned his attention to the other chicken.
The other big rooster stopped crowing after being exposed to the murderous gaze, and miraculously it struggled hard!
He stretched his neck and bit the meat in front of him fiercely.
"You're quite sensible." Seeing that it was indeed sensible, Lin Qinghe wiped the bloody kitchen knife clean and put it back into the space.
After the big rooster finished eating the meat in front of it, Lin Qinghe picked it up by its legs and threw it into the cage, planning to keep it in the cage for a while before cooling it down.
Witnessing the tragic death of his brother who was as stubborn as himself, the well-fed rooster couldn't help but shed a tear of emotion out of fear.
"Hu Xi, let's have chicken tonight. I'll make chicken soup for you to drink together." Seeing that the blood had almost been drained, Lin Qinghe picked up the big rooster and walked out the door, "Go and boil some water."
When Hu Xi heard that Lin Qinghe was going to cook, his ears immediately perked up, "Okay, okay, I'll go and boil some water."
Lin Qinghe's cooking skills are so good. No matter whether it is a fish full of bones that is not very tasty, or a chicken full of hair, she can cook it deliciously. Hu Xi took the stone pot to the yard with a smile, and didn't even look at the rabbit in the yard.
When Lin Qinghe scalded the chicken with boiling water, plucked all the hair off its body and started to make chicken soup, She Chen, who had been out for a long time, came back leisurely.
He raised his snake head and looked towards the stone pot, "What a nice smell..."
"Have you driven them away?" Lin Qinghe was holding a piece of barbecue skewered on a wooden stick and slowly turning it over the fire, "Sizzle--"
The barbecued meat is sizzling with oil and the aroma of meat is fragrant.
"Well, they didn't want to go too far at first. I beat them up a few times and injured the snake beast. Finally, the female stopped three hundred miles away as you said."
Shechen seemed to be thinking of some unpleasant images, and its voice became a little cold.
The female named Li Xing was too noisy and argued with him all the way. He was just following orders to get them out and didn't want to talk to her at all.
When Shechen thought about Lixing constantly accusing him of bullying the weak, having no morals, and being cold and heartless, his head was about to explode.
He was a cold-blooded snake beast. They were disobedient and insisted on provoking him. What was wrong with him beating up her beast?
"You've worked hard, would you like to eat something?" Lin Qinghe saw that She Chen was depressed and knew that he must be angry.
She handed the roasted meat to him, and She Chen didn't hesitate to take it away with his big mouth. "I found something to eat on the way back."
She Chen coiled into a circle and sat beside Hu Xi, waiting to be fed by Hu Xi and Lin Qinghe.
Under the leadership of Lin Qinghe, the beastmen in the tribe also caught some rabbits, sheep or chickens to raise in captivity.
Everyone’s favorite animal to raise is rabbits. After all, rabbits have strong reproductive abilities, can give birth, and they only eat grass, which is delicious.
Because the dry season was coming, Lin Qinghe fetched a lot of water from a nearby stream and put it in the space.
There are many streams nearby, and there is a huge freshwater lake on the east side near the sea, which does not dry up even in the dry season. The surrounding orc tribes mostly get drinking water there during the dry season.
This made Lin Qinghe feel much more at ease, at least nothing unexpected would happen during the dry season.
It was scorching hot. During the dry season, Lin Qinghe and Hu Xi didn't want to go out at all. The ground outside was so hot that you could fry eggs.
She Chen ran directly to the cave he had found and went to sleep. As a snake beast that prefers coolness to heat, She Chen basically never came out during the dry season.
When the rainy season came, it started to drizzle, and the fine raindrops floated densely onto Lin Qinghe's body. She raised her hand to catch a lot of raindrops and said in a calm voice, "The rainy season is here."
"Yes, little sister, the rainy season is finally here!" Hu Xi was so happy that he almost jumped up.
The dry season was finally over, and he rushed out of the house and ran into the rain, enjoying the coolness of the raindrops falling on his body.
Many animals in the tribe cheered for the naturally coming rainy season, and the roars of animals continued all night long.
And that night, feeling the sudden drop in temperature around him, Shechen also crawled out of his cave.
"That orc and the female have run around the fox tribe again..."
