Chapter 240 Building a Shack (1)
Si Ye usually had no objection to Xia Tian's suggestions for housework. "Okay. I'll help you prepare the fixed tree stumps, and you go get the long branches."
"Okay." Xia Tian responded and turned to prepare the ingredients.
Before leaving, Si Ye suddenly called out to her, "By the way, you don't have to tie the sheep to the tree. If you let it go, it won't run away. Hey, the same goes for the chicks, don't keep them in cages."
"You mean free-range?" Xia Tian blinked. "Are you sure they won't run around?"
"No." Si Ye shook his head and suddenly smiled, his emerald eyes narrowing. "This is my territory. They know they can't escape, so they won't run around. Just let them go and let them play on their own. Don't worry about them. They will go home on their own at night."
Xia Tian said, "Huh?" "Then we don't need to make the fence so high, right?"
Her original plan was to build this small shed in the same way as raising poultry on Earth to prevent them from running away, so the more enclosed the better.
But since Si Ye said they won't run away, there's no need to make it so high. Just simply fence it off and build a small shed to protect it from the wind and rain, right?
"No." Unexpectedly, Si Ye still shook his head. "They won't run away, but we need to prevent other monsters from snatching them away, so it's still necessary."
Although this area is his territory, it is only limited to the orcs of the snow leopard clan. Other ordinary exotic beasts can still move around here.
For example, if he is not at home, these cubs will stay at home and will be taken away by the strange beasts that eat cubs if they are not careful.
Unfortunately, this strange beast is not big in size and is extremely agile and flexible, making it difficult to catch, and even if caught, it is of little value.
However, although the danger is not great, if the cub is taken away, it will be very troublesome to find it.
Therefore, the purpose of making the fence high is not to prevent the cubs from escaping, but to protect them from being taken away and eaten by wild animals.
"I see." Xia Tian had a new understanding of the animal breeding situation in the world. She didn't expect that the most important thing was not to prepare feed for them, but to protect their safety.
"Okay, then I'll go down and release them, and then prepare the ingredients."
Si Ye: "Yeah."
Xia Tian found the chicken coop next to the cave entrance, poured all the chicks out, and let them find food on their own.
Then he freed the sheep from the vines to which it was tied and let it feed on the grass on its own.
Sure enough, they were all very obedient. They didn't run around or make any noise. They just ate grass and walked quietly by themselves. They looked very well-behaved and cute.
Xia Tian stood there and watched for a while, then left to prepare the materials for the fence.
The construction of this fence not only requires a circle on the outside, but more importantly, it is also necessary to prepare a place for them to shelter from wind and rain, so as to better protect them and provide them with a comfortable shelter as much as possible.
After all, they will be killed and eaten in the end...
We should be nice to them while they are still alive, right?
Xia Tian planned to build a shed with thatched grass.
However, this requires waiting until the ground fence is completed first, and then the roof frame is set up to confirm that it can bear the weight, and finally the thatch can be covered. Otherwise, even if the thatch is prepared, it cannot be used.
Si Ye: I brought you back, fed you and protected you. Are you touched?
Yangyang & Chick: Don’t dare to move, don’t dare to move…
