Chapter 165 Tiezhu and Jianguo
As soon as this little beast made a sound, it lost all its dignity, leaving only a smell of milk and the same grievance as before.
It seemed as if it was asking Zhou Xu why he let it fall to the ground.
Faced with this situation, Zhou Xu's face became uncertain. He was a little unsure about the situation of the little beast.
[Many animals regard the first creature they see as their parent. According to this logic, the first thing this little guy saw when he opened his eyes should be me.]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu immediately held his breath and slowly stretched out his hand towards the little beast. He did not touch it, but waited for the little beast to smell his hand.
At this moment, he had already prepared for the worst...
[At worst, it will bite or scratch you, which is not a big deal. ]
However, this bad situation did not happen. Looking at his outstretched palm, the little beast was not afraid at all. It directly put its head in the palm of his hand and rubbed it.
During this time, her eyes were narrowed into two slits, and it looked like she was just acting coquettishly with him.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu gradually became bolder and touched the shiny fur with his other hand. The touch was so silky, just like touching fur.
However, the weather was still hot after all, so a simple touch a few times was fine, but after a long time, Zhou Xu couldn't help feeling a little hot and wanted to keep a little distance from the little beast.
As a result, as soon as I took my hand away, the little beast let out an "ow" and rubbed against me again.
“…”
At this moment, Zhou Xu suddenly felt like he was wearing fur in the summer and he started sweating.
At the same time, he slowly realized that the little beast kept rubbing against him and acting coquettishly towards him, probably not just because it wanted to be close to him.
"Are you hungry, kid?"
Before he traveled through time, he had two cats.
Therefore, he can be considered experienced in some things, such as now.
If this happened to his two "rebellious sons", there would only be one reason why they kept rubbing against him, and that was because they were hungry...
While speaking, Zhou Xu, who was sweating from being rubbed by the little beast, turned his head to look at the tribal members who were holding torches.
"Go get a bowl of water, and then..."
As Zhou Xu thought about it, he boldly parted the little animal's lips.
[Well, when I sleep, my teeth grow completely. ]
"Go kill another rabbit."
This little animal is obviously a carnivore. It looks a bit like a cat and should eat fish. But it was late at night and he didn't have the energy to catch fish for it all night.
Fortunately, there are meat rabbits in the camp.
These meat rabbits were sent from the Black Moon Village. As the earliest domestic animals raised artificially in their tribe, the meat rabbits have now been raised on a large scale and can provide a stable source of meat to each camp.
While waiting for the rabbit to be processed, Zhou Xu had already walked out of his tent.
Putting aside the mosquito problem, it is much cooler outside at night than in the tent.
Looking up at the sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, Zhou Xu secretly said in his heart, "What a sin!"
According to his speculation, the little beast was in a long sleep because it had eaten that drop of heart blood. That drop of heart blood provided huge nutrition, which it needed to digest while sleeping.
Now that it had been digested, I woke up from hunger in the middle of the night and licked him awake as well.
Since coming to this primitive world, Zhou Xu has been eating two meals a day without fail, and his daily routine is even more regular. He has never gotten up in the middle of the night to eat a midnight snack.
Now it’s because of this little beast that he has broken his vow.
The little beast, not knowing what Zhou Xu was thinking, licked him again to show its affection.
But as I said before, the feeling of this little beast licking him was like a rubber brush brushing his skin.
The fundamental reason is that the tongues of cats are basically covered with densely packed barbs, which are the organs they usually use to comb their hair.
It is basically impossible for a tongue like this to feel comfortable when licking human skin.
Fortunately, the little animal licked very gently so it wasn't uncomfortable.
"Come to think of it, I haven't given you a name yet."
It was undoubtedly a good thing that the little beast was close to him and regarded him as a parent.
After all, some of the wild beasts in this world are obviously extraordinary, and the mother of this little beast was able to bite the hyena queen to death when she was alive.
Zhou Xu was determined to adopt the little beast at that time, with the intention of training it into a fighting force for the tribe.
He hadn't given it a name before, to put it bluntly, he didn't know whether the little animal could wake up alive.
What if he can't wake up, then what name should he give it? Now that the little beast has woken up after sleeping in a completely different state, it's time to think about the name.
He always names his pets in a rather sloppy way, basically just whatever comes to his mind.
Take the two cats he used to have, for example, one was named Zhaobai and the other was named Wangcai.
"Should you call me Tiezhu or Jianguo?"
“…”
The little beast listened to Zhou Xu's words, not knowing what he was saying, let alone understanding the meaning. It opened its big round eyes and stared at him blankly.
While Zhou Xu was muttering this, the night watchman over there had already quickly killed a rabbit, skinned it, and removed its internal organs.
"Chief, what should we do next?"
"Chop half of it and give it to the little guy, especially the bones. Chop them finely. The remaining half can be roasted for a midnight snack."
Their meat rabbit is quite big, and Zhou Xu didn't plan to feed it too much at once. After all, it was its first time eating, so it would be better to feed it a moderate amount.
As for feeding raw meat directly, Zhou Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
He had fed raw meat to cats before, and this little beast was the child of a wild beast. Wasn't it normal for it to eat raw meat? Zhou Xu had no intention of adjusting its diet.
After receiving the order, the night watchman acted quickly and soon brought over a plate of minced meat.
Taking the plate of minced meat, Zhou Xu fiddled with it with his fingers, gave it a quick inspection, and then placed it in front of the little beast.
Looking at the dish, the little beast came forward and sniffed it.
From birth to now, the little beast has never drunk milk and has only eaten a drop of blood. It has no concept of food at all. It doesn't know whether the thing in front of it is edible or not. For a moment, it really doesn't open its mouth easily.
When Zhou Xu saw this, he didn't hesitate. He picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it directly into the little beast's mouth.
At that moment, the little beast tasted the flavor and chewed it subconsciously a few times.
After swallowing the first bite of rabbit meat, the hungry little beast pounced directly on the plate of rabbit meat and started to gobble it up.
It basically never went through a real cub stage. As soon as it opened its eyes, it had grown into a big child, and its teeth could easily crush a rabbit's bones.
In the blink of an eye, the plate of rabbit meat was completely eaten up by it, leaving no blood foam on the plate.
Then he opened his eyes and turned to look at Zhou Xu again.
“Ah~”
Not full...
