"Are all pheasants deep in the forest this big?" Su Tang was still somewhat shocked as she looked closely at the pheasant.
This pheasant is huge!
Her neck stretched out, even higher than her waist.
She believed it when they said it looked like an ostrich that looked like a chicken!
It's one thing for other large prey to grow big, but even pheasants have mutated. Will there be spiders the size of wild boars in the future?
Thinking about it this way, Su Tang found her kitten extremely cute.
Indeed, there is no harm without comparison.
"Brother Wolf said that this is just the prey on the edge of the forest. If we go deeper, the prey inside will be many times bigger than this!" Xiao Fu said excitedly, gesturing.
However, he found it strange that his elder brother seemed to know nothing about these things. He only learned about the events in the forest recently from his brother, Wolf Strong.
After all, he was still a cub, and if it weren't for the two people leading him, he would never have been able to venture into the depths of the forest before reaching adulthood.
"But these are all hens. My brother said that next time we'll catch a rooster, we'll have chicks at home. When the chicks grow up and lay eggs, we'll have lots of chickens and we won't need to hunt to have enough to eat!"
Xiao Fu's mind is full of chickens.
In reality, Su Jianyuan only said, "It's a pity they're all hens, otherwise they could hatch chicks," and the rest was just Xiao Fu's imagination.
He now knows that chickens can be raised at home.
A hen can lay one egg a day, so ten hens can lay ten eggs a day. The eggs all turn into chickens, and the chickens lay more eggs. He couldn't figure it out, but there were just a lot of them.
It will be a long time before he grows up. If we could raise chickens, he wouldn't have to wait to grow up and he could have meat for his mother and sister to eat.
"Sister, can we keep them?"
This was the first time Su Tang had ever seen Xiao Fu's gaze so intense.
"Okay, but these chickens are too big. The old chicken coop won't fit them all. We'll have to build them a new one." She patted Xiao Fu's head. The little wolf cub was becoming more and more lovable.
Xiao Fu thought about it and it seemed to make sense; if there were no chicken coop, the pheasants would run away.
The chicken coop needs to be big, really big, to hold countless chickens, big and small, in the future.
Su Shiwei, who was standing nearby, said, "There is a lot of open space near Father's orchard, and it is also close to the wooden house. I will fence off the fields and orchard, and the chicken coop can also be built there so that we can manage them together."
After he finished fetching water today, he went to survey the surrounding terrain.
To settle down here, one place to live is definitely not enough; safety hazards and infrastructure need to be continuously improved.
There must be high walls to enclose the orchards and fields for safety.
"Tie the pheasants up today, and I'll build a chicken coop tomorrow." Su Shiwei's voice was gentle and steady, giving people a very reliable feeling just by listening to it.
Xiao Fu felt that his elder brother's image had instantly become much taller and more imposing. "Brother, you're so kind!"
Since falling off the cliff, his father, mother, brother, and sister have all become incredibly capable, as if there's nothing they can't do.
Xiao Fu even wondered if there was a miracle at the bottom of the cliff.
Otherwise, he might give up raising chickens and go jump off a cliff; maybe he'll come back stronger.
Soon, Su Jianyuan and Lang Zhuang returned.
Xiao Fu's idea was interrupted and left unresolved.
Su Jianyuan called his family out and told them about their recent discovery.
"Wolf Zhuang and I found a cave at the foot of a nearby mountain. It was newly dug, not very big, and there was nothing inside, except for some golden animal fur that had fallen out."
"His beast form is a tiger, and his fur is golden." Su Tang remembered Hu Shen's beast form as majestic and domineering.
This confirms that Hu Shen was not lying.
Su Guodong was speechless.
The sky was getting dark.
It's harder to cook after dark, so Lin Xia made dinner before sunset.
They had originally invited Lang Zhuang to dinner, but he declined. He then shared the day's prey with Su Jianyuan and returned to the Gray Wolf Tribe.
We caught a total of twelve pheasants and thirty pheasant eggs today. After dividing the eggs among the pheasants, we still have eight pheasants and twenty eggs left at home.
Xiao Fu considerately fed the pheasant that was tied up, saying, "Eat more, lay more eggs. Pheasants that don't lay eggs will be eaten."
A pheasant the size of an ostrich: "..."
After seeing Lang Zhuang off, Su Jianyuan returned to find Xiao Fu squatting in the corner with a bright smile, while eight pheasants trembled in fear.
He walked over and said with a serious expression:
"Xiao Fu, you can't do it like this. The pheasants need some time to adjust before they can lay eggs. Don't rush it."
The pheasants looked at him as if he were their savior. This beastman was kind-hearted and understood them!
Xiao Fu listened attentively and asked, "So what do I need to do now?"
Su Jianyuan said seriously, "First, break their wings and pluck out the useless feathers so they can't fly away and will adapt to the environment here better."
He had just run out of arrows recently, and the feathers from the pheasant from before hadn't grown back yet. The feathers from these few pheasants could make quite a few wooden arrows.
Su Jianyuan was eager to try his hand at it.
"Oh!" Xiao Fu nodded. He remembered that his older sister's little hen only started laying eggs after his older brother plucked its feathers.
Brother, you are indeed knowledgeable and well-traveled!
Pheasants: "??"
...
The one-armed wolf returned to the gray wolf tribe with pheasants and eggs.
Along the way, many gray wolf orcs cast envious glances their way.
Ever since Lang Zhuang and Su Jianyuan started hunting together, he has been able to bring back a lot of meat every day. Many females have been waiting on his way back to the cave, trying to attract his attention.
The females saw the prey in Lang Zhuang's hands; there were actually four pheasants this big today!
It's still alive!
The females couldn't help but swallow hard. Such a fresh pheasant, with its neck cut off, its blood would still be warm. It must taste delicious!
And those eggs, so smooth and slippery, they quench your thirst and fill your stomach, they taste even better than meat.
The females were practically drooling with desire, but they didn't approach, because they knew that Lang Zhuang wasn't interested in them.
Orcs are very straightforward; they either like something or they don't.
Although they were envious, Lang Zhuang had made it clear that he didn't like them, so they could only watch from the sidelines.
Behind the female, a female with a slightly protruding belly snorted contemptuously, "Useless. What good is a male with a missing arm? He might die in the forest one day."
Upon hearing this, the other females all turned to look.
One of the females said enviously:
"Wolf Cloud, we're not like you, able to find such a powerful mate. Your Wolf Kui feeds you meat every day, look how well he's fattened you up, your face is all rounder now."
Other females also began to chime in.
"That's right. The rainy season came late this year, and the weather has been hot and humid. There haven't been many prey lately, so I don't dare to eat my fill, for fear that I won't have anything to eat next time."
"If only my partner were half as good as Wolf Kui and Wolf Zhuang..."
"Wolf Cloud, why don't you talk to Wolf Kui and ask him to take my partner hunting with me, like Ah Tang's brother did?"
