Chapter 109 Giving Birth to a Litter of Bunnies
Su Mingyuan was very strong. He climbed up the tree and just like playing, he easily broke off the dead branch.
If you encounter a thicker dead branch, you can cut it off with just two swings of the axe.
Su Mingyuan and Su Qingshan were chopping dead branches.
Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan both set their eyes on a turtledove.
The turtledove was very fat and stood on a branch looking around.
Gu Jinchen's arrow and Gu Jinan's slingshot shot out at the same time!
Hearing the noise, the frightened turtledove flapped its wings and tried to escape, but unfortunately Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan both had good aim, and the arrows and stones hit the turtledove at the same time.
With a thud, the turtledove fell to the ground.
Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan ran over at the same time to pick up the spoils.
Here, Xiao Mo found an empty space and put some old newspapers on the ground: "Qibao, are you tired? Sit down and take a rest."
Gu Qiqi sat down on the newspaper.
In early December, the weather was a little cool. At a glance, the grass on the hillside had dried up and a thick layer of pine needles had fallen on the ground.
Dong Yulan was raking the pine needles with great enthusiasm.
This thing is the easiest to burn and is perfect for starting a fire.
It was estimated that few people came to this hillside. Not only was the ground covered with thick pine needles, but pine cones were also everywhere. She wished she could rake them all home.
Su Mingmei also had a lot of fun picking up pine cones.
"Rabbit, it's a rabbit!" Gu Jinan pointed at a bush not far away with sharp eyes.
The sound startled Su Mingyuan, who was cutting dead branches on a tree.
"Can't you keep your voice down? You scared away all the rabbits!"
"This rabbit is quite fat. Its belly is so big. Could it be pregnant?" Su Qingshan, who was sitting on another tree, looked in the direction Gu Jinan pointed and saw a fat gray rabbit.
The rabbit lay in the grass, looking a little impatient and uneasy.
The rabbit's belly was abnormally large.
Dong Yulan paused while raking the pine needles and said, "We can't fight a rabbit with cubs!"
When Gu Qiqi heard that the rabbit was pregnant, she couldn't help but stand up from the ground out of curiosity.
Xiao Mo held her little hand and walked towards the rabbit.
After listening to his grandmother, Gu Jinan did not use the slingshot to shoot the rabbit, but slowly approached it.
Gu Qiqi and Xiao Mo also came over.
Sensing someone approaching, the mother rabbit with the cub became more and more anxious and let out sharp cries.
"Grandma, this female rabbit seems to be giving birth to baby rabbits!" Gu Jinchen suddenly said when she saw the rabbit struggling restlessly, manic and incompetent.
What, giving birth to little rabbits?
Dong Yulan dropped the rake and ran over.
No wonder the mother rabbit wasn't scared away despite the loud noise. It makes sense that she was giving birth to a rabbit.
Gu Qiqi’s spiritual sense swept over.
The mother rabbit had seven cubs in her belly, and one of them was stuck in the birth canal and couldn't come out. It was probably because the mother rabbit was frightened.
"Could it be a difficult birth?" Su Mingmei frowned.
The most frightening thing for women when giving birth is a difficult labor, which could mean two deaths.
Rabbits are polygynous animals, and if they have a difficult birth, there will be multiple lives lost!
Out of maternal instinct, Su Mingmei didn't want to see this ending.
Shippo suddenly walked towards the rabbit.
The restless female rabbit saw Qibao approaching and made an angry snoring sound. Her body was tense and she stared at her with a pair of red eyes, as if she would attack her at any time.
"Good girl, don't go!" Dong Yulan exclaimed.
Even a rabbit bites when it is anxious!
What if this female rabbit bites my daughter?
Su Qingshan and Su Mingyuan also came down from the tree.
Gu Qiqi moved her mind, and a pool of spiritual spring water appeared in her palm...
The female rabbit immediately calmed down after smelling the spiritual spring water.
"Good girl, come back quickly, be careful of being bitten by rabbits!" Dong Yulan moved closer and tried to pull Qibao back.
Unfortunately, Qibao didn't listen. Instead, he squatted down and put his palm close to the female rabbit's mouth.
The female rabbit, who had been agitated just now, suddenly became docile. She put her head obediently into Gu Qiqi's palm and licked the spiritual spring water in Qiqi's palm clean.
The powerful vitality brought by the spiritual spring water made the anxious mother rabbit gradually relax. With a powerful vitality accumulated in her body, she gave birth to a little rabbit in one go.
Then there were two, three, four...until the seventh!
Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan, who watched the mother rabbit's birth process, exclaimed it was magical!
After giving birth, the mother rabbit bites off the umbilical cords of the little rabbits one by one, eats the afterbirth, and licks the blood and mucus off the little rabbits...
"Grandma, there are so many little rabbits. Can we take them home to raise?" Gu Jinan stared at the nest of little rabbits, as if he saw countless rabbit meat flying before his eyes.
"The weather is so cold, and the female rabbits are giving birth at this time. Without fresh grass and food, it will be difficult for these rabbits to survive." Su Qingshan sighed.
"Take it back and hide it so that no one can see it." Dong Yulan said.
Su Qingshan took out a backpack, put a layer of pine wool on the bottom of the backpack, and then put a few pieces of old newspapers that Xiao Mo brought on it. Then he put the mother rabbit and the seven little rabbits into the backpack.
After doing all this, Su Qingshan and the others hurried to collect firewood, leaving Qibao and Xiao Mo alone to look after the rabbits.
Gu Qiqi had just given the female rabbit some spiritual spring water, and the female rabbit looked quite energetic.
Seven little rabbits huddled around the mother rabbit. They were red and small. Their eyes were not open yet, but their noses had begun to twitch slightly.
The little paws are pink and tender, and the ears are slightly erected, always alert to the surroundings...
"I'll take care of them. Brother Xiao, you go help them hunt pheasants!" Gu Qiqi glanced at Xiao Mo and deliberately sent him away.
"Okay, are you okay staying here alone?"
Xiao Mo saw through it but didn't say anything, and before leaving he still remembered to express his concern.
"It's okay, go and help your brother!" Gu Qiqi shook her head firmly.
How can we feed the rabbits if we don't send this follower away?
Xiao Mo went to find Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan readily.
Dong Yulan and Su Mingmei are right next to them, and they will be the first to know if anything happens.
As soon as Xiao Mo left, Gu Qiqi moved her mind and took out a green vegetable leaf from the secret space.
The mother rabbit had just given birth and needed to eat something to nourish herself. When she saw the green leaves, she immediately came over to eat them...
Xiao Mo picked up a stone from the ground casually, and as his spiritual sense spread out, nothing that moved around him escaped his eyes.
Under Xiao Mo's spiritual awareness, a pheasant was squatting in the dry grass not far away and laying eggs.
Under the gazes of Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan, Xiao Mo threw the stone in his hand into the bushes in front of him as if by accident...
Accompanied by a scream, Xiao Mo walked forward leisurely, picked up a pheasant from the grass, and brought a freshly baked egg with it!
"Brother Xiao, you are so lucky. You can hit a pheasant just by throwing a stone!" Gu Jinan's eyes widened, his face full of admiration.
Brother Xiao is worthy of being Brother Xiao. He and his second brother searched for a long time before they finally killed a turtledove.
As a result, Brother Xiao caught a pheasant as soon as he came over!
Comparing yourself to others will make you feel thief!
