Jiang Yanyue shrank her neck. She had originally only picked the big ones, but now she went to each nest one by one, leaving nothing behind, big or small, and only leaving one egg in each nest.
Yi Yuan told her that if all the eggs were taken away, the mother bird would feel that this place was unsafe and would find a new place to build a nest and would not lay eggs until some time later.
If one is left behind, the hen will think that she has not laid enough eggs and will continue laying eggs the next day until she has laid twelve eggs, and then she will start to incubate them.
Jiang Yanyue touched five or six nests and filled half of the basket with about forty pieces.
It felt a bit heavy to carry, so Jiang Yanyue moved the eggs into the warehouse, and the basket was empty again.
Qi Yu's eyes widened.
In the Xuesen tribe, there are very few males who have special abilities and can use them, let alone females.
In Qi Yu's understanding, females do not have special abilities.
Qi Yu actually also has an animal pattern on the back of her neck. Her mother said it was a beautiful curly shape, but Qi Yu had never felt her own special abilities.
Qi Yu was stunned for a while. It was the same again. Every time he casually compared her to nothing.
"Be careful, these small beasts are picky and afraid of the strong. They are still aggressive towards females. Don't get too close."
Yi Yuan stood slightly in front of Jiang Yanyue, and Jiang Yanyue then noticed that a few steps away there was a large flower chicken looking for insects to eat.
"Is this chicken delicious?" Jiang Yanyue was still used to calling this animal a chicken because it looked so similar.
Yi Yuan thought about the meat that Jiang Yanyue usually liked and shook his head, "It's hard and tough, and there's not much meat left."
Jiang Yanyue immediately gave up the idea of catching it and making soup.
As they were talking, a scream suddenly sounded not far away. Jiang Yanyue looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qi Yu sitting on the ground with her buttocks. A bird with upturned feathers flew up to a height of more than a person and pecked at Qi Yu's face fiercely with its sharp beak.
Jiang Yanyue's heart suddenly became nervous.
Fortunately, a green wind blew over, and the flying chicken changed direction and flew far away, landing on the sweet potato field.
"Sister!" Qi Yu's two brothers rushed to Qi Yu. If Qing Lan didn't take action, Qi Yu would definitely be injured.
Qi Yu was also very frightened. She was stunned for a few seconds before she burst into tears.
Jiang Yanyue and the other two did not go over immediately. They waited until Qi Yu calmed down a little before Jiang Yanyue walked over and handed her a bamboo tube filled with warm water.
"Let's take her back to the main force first. We can't take care of her." Qinglan said directly.
He and Yi Yuan both disliked this little female and didn't want to waste extra time on her.
The two brothers thanked Qinglan and left with their sister, who was still trembling, on their backs.
"Isn't the fighting power of this chicken a bit too incredible?" Jiang Yanyue glanced and saw a chicken pecking a walnut-shaped nut into pieces with its beak.
It didn't just crack the shell, but even the small stone underneath the walnut was shattered into pieces with one bite.
"Don't be afraid." Qinglan thought she was frightened by the scene just now, so she quickly hugged her.
Jiang Yanyue shook her head to indicate that she was fine.
Yi Yuan transformed into a golden-threaded black tiger and roared at the flock of chickens, startling many feathered birds hiding in the sweet potato leaves.
The big pheasants flew up and down, their claws trembling, and fled in all directions in a panic. There were actually hundreds of them.
"I'll go and chase them away. Don't let them run away. I'll come back when I'm done so we can continue harvesting tomorrow." Qinglan flapped his wings behind him and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Well, now there's not a single feathered bird left. You can have fun as you please."
Yi Yuan still followed Jiang Yanyue, but not as closely as before.
Jiang Yanyue felt around all the way and found many nests of 12 eggs. When she felt tired, she asked Yi Yuan to take over. In total, she found 260 eggs. Together with the previous ones, Jiang Yanyue harvested 308 eggs that day, plus seventy or eighty kilograms of sweet potato leaves.
Jiang Yanyue planned to eat them herself, so Qinglan naturally only picked the tenderest ones. As a result, from more than ten acres of land, they only yielded less than a hundred kilograms.
When returning home, Jiang Yanyue found that Qi Yu was still pale and shivering with her arms folded.
Many females were comforting her.
On the way back, Jiang Yanyue was still sitting on Yi Yuan's shoulders. She had also consumed a lot of energy, so she decided not to go her own way and walked away.
Jiang Yanyue discovered that the females in the spring outing group also looked very tired, which made her feel a little confused.
When she came back and gathered with everyone, Jiang Yanyue clearly saw Hongya and the others playing mahjong at several tables.
Those who played Jiang Yanyue's sandbag throwing and snowball fight games were all males. Females didn't like to play them, especially after a female suddenly fainted during the game. Females no longer played such "dangerous" games.
"Their bodies are not as good as yours, and they don't have animal patterns. They are all tired after playing out today." Seeing Jiang Yanyue's confusion, Qinglan explained.
???
No, it was just that jump around in the morning, about half an hour?
Jiang Yanyue suddenly had a flash of enlightenment. In fact, Jiang Yanyue didn't understand how such a weak female, who almost did not produce any children, could survive so well in a primitive society?
In fact, anything, when taken to its extreme, will become an advantage.
When a female in the animal world is pregnant, perhaps due to her body's self-protection instinct, the chance of a female conceiving a female cub is lower than that of a male cub.
Male cubs are born in animal form, while female cubs revert to animal form to become pregnant and give birth.
Although the mother of a female cub will revert to her animal form in the middle and late stages of pregnancy to reduce the risk of pregnancy, she will give birth in human form.
Newborns in human form are the most difficult to give birth to, and the pain the mother has to endure is beyond imagination.
In addition, female cubs are fragile and can easily die during their growth. It is unknown how many female cubs that could have survived have lost their lives due to respiratory distress in a newborn.
Under the natural conditions of the animal world, the number of females is extremely small.
In addition, the survival pressure in the animal world is not based on the physical fitness of females.
Even a free-range chicken in the beast world is a village bully. Considering the experience of being chased by five big geese, Jiang Yanyue felt that she could not defeat them even if she went there.
And this may be the most "gentle" animal in the world of animals.
The physical condition of females is generally such that they get out of breath after walking for 10 minutes and may not be able to lift 10 kilograms, just like the real Lin Daiyu.
Instead of letting the female participate in reproductive labor and then letting the female who has finally grown up die, it is better to hold her in the palm of your hand and take good care of her.
The little labor output that females get by risking their lives is really negligible compared to the output of males.
It is said that when orcs first formed pairs, the females followed the males, but the females often lost their appetite due to missing their families and their bodies became damaged, so they simply turned into males and followed the females.
Anyway, when males reach adulthood, regardless of whether they have a partner or not, they will be thrown out by their parents to start their own families, so there is no such thing as homesickness.
