After confirming that the "two-legged hooligan" outside had really left, the rabbit couple began to get busy.
First the male rabbit entered the jar to check it out, and then made the grass inside firm. After coming out, he and his wife took the little rabbits, whose bellies were already round and who were still holding the food in their mouths and unwilling to let go, into the jar one by one, and began their happy life as a family of seven.
Han Cheng was very happy. He asked Xiaomei and Xiaoli to bring back more green grass, discarding those with yellow leaves. After carefully selecting for a while, he put it into the rabbit pen.
Much more careful than before.
When he added grass, only two big rabbits could be seen in the circle. It was obvious where they had hidden the little rabbits.
Han Cheng now likes these two rabbits more and more. Although the male rabbit looks at him warily, as if afraid that Han Cheng will steal his wife, Han Cheng is still very happy.
This is a good start.
Planting and breeding are the two basic conditions for people to move from primitive times to ancient times.
If you want to solve the food problem, you cannot rely solely on fishing and hunting, because the food obtained in this way is too unstable!
If you are lucky, you won't go hungry and you can still get some survival. If you are unlucky, you can't even catch a single hair of the animal and you have to go hungry.
Not only that, but lives can be in danger at any time, and the relationship between hunter and prey changes constantly.
Take the Qingque tribe for example. It is common for people to be injured by prey while hunting, and people in the hunting team are often injured.
Fortunately, during the time that Han Cheng was here, they only suffered some minor injuries. No one lost their life, and no one, like Lame, suffered from a serious hidden illness.
But this kind of thing often happens near the river, and your shoes will get wet someday. If you want to reduce the chances of this happening, the best way is to reduce hunting.
Planting and breeding can not only provide a stable source of food, but also greatly liberate productivity, freeing the strongest people in the tribe from busy and unstoppable hunting activities, so that they can have free time to do other things.
Of course, planting and breeding are not easy either, but compared with the life-threatening and unstoppable hunting, it is still much better.
At the very least, there is a distinction between busy and slack times in farming, and livestock only need to be fed a few times a day, unlike hunting, where there is no fixed free time.
Of course, the Green Bird Tribe has not yet taken any steps towards planting and breeding. At this time, hunting is still the main source of food for the Green Bird Tribe.
But if it relies solely on hunting, the tribe cannot last long, and it is impossible for the tribe to develop into a scale of tens of thousands of people. Relying on hunting cannot support such a large tribe.
Although the rabbit giving birth is a small matter, the significance it represents is great, which is why Han Cheng is so happy.
These children have been familiar with Han Cheng for a long time, but they still can't understand why the Son of God is so happy.
These two rabbits, plus a few newly born rabbit pups, are not enough for the people in the tribe to eat in one meal.
The chief and his men had never seen the Son of God so happy even when they brought back a sheep and two wild boars at a time.
Not only were they puzzled by Han Cheng's contrasting performance, but even the wisest witch in the tribe and the eldest senior brother, who was also very wise, were also puzzled.
However, Wu was better than others. He vaguely sensed some of Han Cheng's intentions, but the feeling was too vague and he could not grasp the key points.
Regarding this matter, they all came together to ask Han Shenzi, who would run near the rabbit pen and peek at the rabbits feeding.
There is nothing to hide, after all, this is for the sake of the entire tribe.
Moreover, Han Cheng wanted to develop the domesticated livestock business as quickly as possible, and explaining the significance of this matter to Wu and his eldest senior brother was a necessary procedure.
Only in this way can we mobilize the strength of the entire tribe and work together.
This time the discussion was not held in the inner cave where the witch lived as in the past, but next to the rabbit pen.
The male rabbit is now very panicked, because the number of people peeping at his wife breastfeeding has increased from one to three, and the eyes of these three "two-legged beasts" are getting brighter and brighter as they look at his wife.
It was very worried that they would suddenly come in and compete for milk for its children.
Although his wife has enough milk, he has five cubs to feed. If he adds three such big "two-legged beasts", his children will have to starve!
It quietly moved back again, covering the cave entrance behind it better, and looked at the three two-legged beasts outside with vigilance and nervousness.
Wu was indeed very excited, he had not thought that things could be done this way!
Putting aside what the Son of God said about the herds of prey, if they and others wanted to eat, they could just kill one. There was no need to risk their lives to engage in such a wonderful thing as hunting.
Just raising some in the tribe, when encountering bad weather such as heavy snow or rain and unable to hunt, or when no prey is caught that day, slaughtering some and eating this one is enough to make his heart beat fast!
The eldest brother was able to become the leader of the tribe because he was not only strong but also intelligent. After hearing Han Cheng's description, he was very excited.
I wish I could take people out hunting again and bring back more living prey.
At the same time, I also felt a little annoyed. In fact, I could have brought the sheep back alive today, but I was afraid it would run away, and also to make it easier to transport it back, so I killed it. If I had known it would have such an important role, I would have brought it back alive no matter what.
The eldest brother has secretly made up his mind that in the future, he will try his best to leave alive when hunting.
Han Cheng saw what the eldest brother was thinking and quickly waved his hand, telling him that in the future when he went hunting, he should wait until he had caught enough prey for the tribe to eat for a day before considering catching them alive and bringing them back.
Moreover, not all prey need to be caught alive. For example, there is no need to do so for carnivorous creatures such as tigers, leopards, and foxes. If you encounter them, then hide if you can. If you can't, then fight them to death!
The animals that should be brought back alive are herbivorous animals, such as pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese.
Of course, the premise for doing all this is to ensure that no one in the team is harmed. If there is a possibility of injury and life-threatening, no matter what kind of animal it is, no matter how precious it is, it must be abandoned immediately!
For Han Cheng, nothing is more precious than the lives of people in the tribe.
