Chapter 226 226 Cub Raising Plan (2)
Si Ye shook his head, still somewhat disapproving. "Raising cubs isn't that simple. If you're worried about food shortages during the cold season, I can hunt more prey. If you're looking to raise something small, there are plenty of other small animals to choose from. There's no need to look for cubs."
The cold season is not like the hot season. The temperature is very low, so there is no need to worry about the stored animal meat going bad. As long as the quantity is large enough, it can last for a long time.
If the purpose is simply to stockpile food before the cold season, he believes there is no need to use this method.
It takes a lot of energy and time, and you may not be able to support it, which will end up being a thankless task.
[Yes, yes, what Lao Si said is very right. What should we do now that it is the cold season? There is not enough food to begin with. How can we raise small animals?]
What's the point of raising them for food? Do you think naturally grown ones aren't fat enough?
[The previous one is hilarious. Because they are not fat enough, they feed themselves until they are fat before eating???]
It's rare for Lao Si and Xia Xia to have a disagreement. I've always listened to her before, so I don't know what she'll decide this time.
Si Ye's tone was actually quite gentle, but it was a stark contrast to the previous times when he had remained silent and only nodded. However, Xia Tian also had her own insistence. "I don't want to hide it from you. I have plans to raise cubs. In the future, the wild exotic beasts will be domesticated, so we won't have to risk the hardship of hunting outside. But taming is a very long process, so the sooner we start, the better."
“I know it’s not easy, but I can’t give up on something just because it’s not easy.”
The girl's eyes were firm. "Of course, I know different exotic beasts have different habits. I'll try to start with something simpler. It won't be particularly difficult. This is also the most important part I want to tell you."
"You said you want to raise exotic animals at home?" This idea made Si Ye's eyes light up.
Hunting is the nature of orcs, but for a family, it is not a good choice.
Because hunting often requires being out for long periods of time, it requires a particularly strong body and a flexible brain.
Even though hunting is easy for him now, the golden period for hunting is only a few short years. After that, it will be difficult to catch prey. Without the help of the tribe, he will starve to death or freeze to death in the cold season. There will not even be anyone to collect his bodies, and he will only become food for vultures.
This is also why orcs are willing to live together in tribes. Even if young orcs want to share their prey with the old and the cubs, they will not refuse, because everyone will grow old one day, and this is a tradition passed down from generation to generation.
But for people like Si Ye and Xia Tian who have no tribe to rely on, even though their lives seem to be getting better now, if they don’t have children in the future and can’t keep the territory when they get old, their later years will be miserable.
Si Ye himself had considered this issue before meeting Xia Tian, but he didn't care.
I just want to live one day at a time, and when I leave, I will leave, without any worries or reluctance at all.
But now it’s different. He has people he wants to protect, so he has things to worry about.
But by then, let alone giving her a good life, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect her.
Si Yuan's arrival a few days ago had just touched a nerve in him. For a moment, he even thought about compromising with that man for Xia Tian's future stable life...
