Bai Jing kissed Yu Wanwan on the lips, carried her back, and saw the yellow-bellied bird tied to the ground. He asked, "What are you doing?"
Fei Han pointed at Yu Wanwan: "This is the idea of the little female. She said she wants to raise them to help solve the tribe's food shortage problem."
"Aquaculture?"
Yu Wanwan smiled sheepishly.
These past few days, the tribe has been short of food. When Bai Jing leads the people out for a collective hunt, they catch any prey they see, regardless of size.
Today, Bai Jing caught a lot of yellow-bellied birds. Some of the birds were still alive when he brought them back, but they were too scared to fly and lay on the ground, barely alive.
Yu Wanwan thought about how the tribe had been short of food recently, and that almost all the young males had gone out hunting. She also had to build traps in the afternoon, keeping her busy day after day.
While the females and cubs remained at home, Yu Wanwan thought that if she could teach the females and cubs to raise livestock, it would make full use of the tribe's labor force and perhaps reduce some of the pressure on the males.
However, the animals on the Beastman Continent are all wild, and no one has ever tried to keep them in captivity. When Yu Wanwan told Fei Han and Mo Zhou about this idea, they were surprised for a long time.
They both unconditionally supported Yu Wanwan's idea, but getting the females to help was quite difficult.
Firstly, the females are lazy, and secondly, they are willful, domineering, and impatient, so they probably can't keep their prey alive.
Yu Wanwan had also considered this matter, wanting to do it but not daring to, and struggled with it for a long time.
Just then, Granny Minzhu brought some animal hides to exchange for food with Yu Wanwan. Seeing that Yu Wanwan seemed unhappy, she asked, "Wanwan, what's wrong?"
Yu Wanwan shook her head: "I'm thinking that the tribe doesn't have enough food, and Bai Jing is too tired from hunting every day."
Grandma Minzhu nodded in agreement: "The tribe is really short of food right now."
In the past, the tribe should have sent people to exchange salt crystals and stockpile food to raise the cubs at this time. However, after the battle with the elephant tribe, the tribe was busy with repairs and collecting herbs and food, and did not even have time to exchange salt crystals.
For women like her who have no mate, although the tribe would give her some food, she was already old and unable to have children. The tribe would naturally prioritize the younger females, and the food given to her was simply not enough. She could only obtain food by trading animal hides.
Yu Wanwan: "Grandma Minzhu, what do you usually do at home?"
Minzhu said, "Sew animal hides, and sleep."
