Chapter 44: Rabbit Gives Birth, Both Mother and Child Are Safe



There is already a small path leading from the tribe to the salt mountain, which was made by the people in the tribe through trampling and clearing.

What Master Lu said was indeed correct. As more people walk, a path will emerge.

Han Cheng came here for no other reason...

It's for the group of deer staying near the salt mountain.

Since the day when the rock salt from the salt mountain was mined, Han Cheng would go to the salt mountain every day except when it rained heavily.

Anyway, he runs every day to Yanshan, which is about fifteen or sixteen miles round trip, which is a good running route.

At the beginning, Han Cheng was so tired from running back and forth that he couldn't recover for a long time.

However, as time went by, with his persistent and unremitting exercise, this distance no longer caused him too much pain.

I still feel tired, but not as tired as before, and my strength recovers faster than before.

Of course, this has something to do with the daily salt intake during this period.

Wu and the eldest brother were worried that something dangerous might happen, so every time Han Cheng went there, Heiwa, Tietou, Zhuang and a few women in the tribe would follow, holding weapons in their hands, acting as the personal guards of the Son of God.

The sun had just risen and cast its rays on the earth when Han Cheng and his companions reached their destination, Yanshan.

Uncle Deer is still here with a group of his subordinates, some of whom are lying on the ground, while others are taking leisurely walks.

They have not yet left their habitat to go somewhere else in search of food.

Hearing the noise coming from afar, all the deer became extremely alert. After realizing that it was a group of "two-legged beasts" coming, their tense bodies relaxed.

The deer have long been accustomed to them. Not only that, they will consciously come over to eat the dew-free grass they bring.

The first one to come and eat is naturally their king.

Unlike other deer, the proud old deer only ate the grass that Han Cheng held in his hands, and would not even look at the grass thrown on the ground.

Uncle Lu's appetite was not very good today. After eating two mouthfuls of the grass brought by Han Cheng, he stopped eating and snorted while gently nudging a covered ceramic pot hanging on Han Cheng's waist with his mouth.

It seemed to be urging Han Cheng to open the thing quickly and let it have a bite.

Han Cheng smiled and touched the not-too-long face of Uncle Deer, chattering something to it, while opening the lid of the clay pot.

Uncle Deer listened patiently to the chatter of this two-legged little brother. When he saw the lid was opened, he put his mouth into the pot as if he was familiar with it and started to drink happily.

Looking at this pot of delicious water, the arrogant Mr. Deer didn't even care about this two-legged little brother touching his proud "horns".

Who makes me feel guilty about eating other people's food?

Well, this sentence is not only applicable to humans, but also to deer. If you don’t believe it, please look at the author’s serious and solemn face.

Han Cheng touched Uncle Deer's bony horns and satin-smooth face, a sly smile appearing on his face.

There wasn't much water in the clay pot, and it was drunk up by the greedy deer in a short while.

When Han Cheng saw Uncle Lu raising his head, he immediately dodged to the side!

However, it was still a step too late!

The damn deer still put its wet mouth close to his body, rubbed it up and down, and splashed water all over half of his face!

Uncle Deer ate the grass and drank the salt water and did not forget to wipe his mouth. He walked away contentedly with an elegant step. Before leaving, he did not forget to lick Han Cheng's face. After all, a lot of delicious salt water had just splashed on him. It would be a waste if he didn't lick it away.

The rest of the deer, like their leader, came near the others to eat grass and drink the salt water in the pot.

Except for Han Cheng, the others are stronger than him, and each of them has to carry two pots of salt water.

Of course, this salt water was not carried from the tribe as it would be too heavy.

Instead, it was fed from a spring on their way here, about a mile away from the salt mountain.

On the way back, they would hide the empty pottery pots in the bushes near the spring and cover them up. When they came the next day, they would take them out, fill them with water, and then add the salt that Han Cheng brought from the tribe.

Deer, which also need to consume salt, love to drink something as delicious as salt water.

Looking at these twenty or thirty deer, Han Cheng smiled. His original idea was still feasible. By using this method of boiling a frog in warm water, these deer would sooner or later become the private property of their Qingque tribe.

The people in the tribe followed Han Cheng's example and caressed the deer that came to them to eat grass and drink water. This was a special instruction from Han Cheng, with the purpose of making them accustomed to their presence and to touching them with their hands.

Of course, these deer do not come here to roost every day. They also go to other places. It is not enough for them to only eat the grass near the salt mountain.

However, after they go out for a while, they always come back to the salt mountain.

Han Cheng made a record of how long the deer stayed here each time and how long they went elsewhere. By comparing, he found that the time the deer stayed here was gradually increasing, while the time they spent outside was decreasing.

This is great news!

After playing with the deer for a while, Han Cheng and his team began to return.

The two rabbits in the cave that Han Cheng used to test medicines and taste herbs were lucky. During this period of time, not only did they not show any signs of poisoning, but they became fatter and fatter.

Not only that, the two of them also accomplished good things in this little world that belonged to them.

The female rabbit with a little white fur on its head is not only pregnant, but also gave birth to five cubs today. Both mother and cubs are safe!

Looking at the five little rabbits who were sucking milk under their mother's belly without opening their eyes like little mice, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile.

This is really an unexpected success!

The reindeer and rapeseed planting that I have been busy with have just shown some progress, but there is still a long way to go before success. However, the rabbit that I had not paid much attention to has given birth to lambs!

No wonder these two rabbits look rather irritable. They scratch the ground with their claws and bite their own fur.

Han Cheng just thought that they had been quiet for a while, and for some reason they wanted to escape again. When they failed to escape, they began to bite their own fur, threatening to commit self-mutilation in a tragic way. So he deliberately reinforced the surrounding stone walls and covered them with stone slabs more tightly.

As for the ground, they could not hold on to it because it was made of stone slabs.

It was not until he saw these little brats now that he suddenly realized.

Their previous actions were not to escape from prison, but to dig a hole to give birth!

Han Cheng realized what was going on and quickly found a pottery jar that had cracks during firing, stuffed some soft dry grass into it, and padded it with some rabbit hair that they had bitten off. Then he placed the bottom of the jar with the grass side facing down against the stone wall, with the mouth of the jar facing inside. He also placed a stone on each side of the jar to prevent it from shaking.

In this way, a small nest was made.

Han Cheng built this nest and waited here for a while, but the two rabbits showed no intention of moving in. The male rabbit even stood in front of the female rabbit, looking at Han Cheng with his eyes, as if angry at Han Cheng for staring at his wife while she was feeding her baby.

Tsk, there’s so much hair under the belly that you can’t even show your key points. Who would want to see it?

Han Shenzi, who was regarded as a gangster by the rabbit, muttered to himself and left in a huff.
