Ling Yun saw the cubs in the west room scattered all over the floor, each holding a butterfly cocoon in their mouth and chewing it. The most outrageous one, Shao Zheng, was lying like a tiger in the basket containing the butterfly cocoons. He was still flapping his arms and legs, and the butterfly cocoons fell from the basket.
Hearing their father's roar, the other four quickly slid down the wooden ladder into the nest.
Only Shao Zheng was caught by his father and taken out of the basket of butterfly cocoons.
There was a severe drought in the tribe during the summer, and Pu Su and his team had no time to take care of the batch of colorful-winged butterflies they raised. After the colorful-winged butterflies made cocoons, they were distributed to each family and everyone was allowed to deal with them on their own.
Their family got two large baskets of butterfly cocoons. After boiling them, they put them on the rack. It was too hot and no one wanted to move. Ling Yun had been planning to spin the cocoons with Song Mu in the past two days.
Lin Qiu heard Ling Yun's voice and asked from the kang over there, "What's wrong? What happened to Shao Zheng?"
"Xiao Qiu, he took the lead and bit through so many of the butterfly cocoons at home that half the baskets are unusable!"
The butterfly cocoon cannot be destroyed, otherwise the cocoon silk will break into pieces.
Ling Yun picked up Shao Zheng and threw him to Song Mu, then went to pick up the silk cocoons that the cubs had bitten, otherwise he would not be able to tell them apart after his saliva dried up.
These guys were probably digging out the dried insects from the butterfly cocoons to eat. The cocoons were thrown aside one by one, but Ling Yun didn't see any trace of insects.
Shao Zheng was grabbed by Song Mu's neck, his ears twitching backwards, and he looked extremely pitiful: "Woo woo..."
The little tiger cub whimpered tenderly, and its round blue eyes, the same as their father's, stared at Lin Qiu, as if begging for mercy from its mother.
Song Mu pinched Shao Zheng's ears, and Shao Zheng cried out
"No pleading allowed. If you make a mistake, you will be punished."
Song Mu found a hide bag, put Shao Zheng in it, tightened the rope, leaving only the head exposed, and then hung it on the wall.
"Awooo..." Shao Zheng was the most mischievous and active kid in the litter. He struggled to crawl with his hands and feet tied up like this, but was tapped on the head by his father.
"Ouch..." It hurts!
Shao Zheng was a fragile little tiger cub, and Song Mu was so shocked that his eyes went dark, and then he became obedient.
Ling Yun packed up the cocoons, placing the good ones high this time, and then took the damaged ones to complain to Lin Qiu: "Xiao Qiu, look, they bit them."
After Ling Yun finished speaking, he glanced at Shao Zheng, who was wrapped in an animal skin bag and hung on the wall next to him. His eyes were full of grievance, and he almost couldn't help laughing.
He pointed to the house next door and said, "Those four need to be hung up too."
"Diao, di, di." Lin Qiu did not refute because he thought they looked cute like this.
Ling Yun took action immediately, and soon, a row of furry heads were hanging on the wall of their house.
Lin Qiu burst into laughter, and Shao Zheng let out an aggrieved "wow".
She continued to draw patterns on the wood, and then said, "Don't waste the silk. You can use it to make soap."
"Can silk be made into soap?"
"You can add it in. It has a moisturizing effect. When the weather gets better next year, I'm thinking of extracting some essential oils from the flowers. Not only will it smell nice, but it might also have different benefits."
Lin Qiu explained.
Ling Yun admired Lin Qiu's creative ideas: "Then I will put these away and not waste them."
Lin Qiu also nodded: "It won't be wasted. Don't be angry with them. Just hang it for a while and then let it down."
"These brats won't learn their lesson if they're not educated." If Ling Yun hadn't been afraid that Lin Qiu wouldn't agree, he would have thrown them all out one by one according to his personality.
