Chapter 71 No One Knows

"We have stocked up on chestnuts and persimmons, let's go find some other food.

"All the wild fruits nearby have been picked." He added, "Same in other places." Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to pick anything. Everyone picked the fruits as soon as they were ripe.

Xiao Yan thought for a while and then said, "The prey I hunt now won't last long. When it's almost cold, I'll go hunting again and see if I can catch some prey to keep."

"It doesn't have to be wild fruits. You can save some nuts." But thinking about the situation here, it is estimated that the nuts they are familiar with are gone. After all, nuts are more durable than wild fruits and can withstand hunger. What if they knew something? If it is edible, it must have been picked early.

"Forget it, we don't have these. Let's catch more chickens and raise them. Then we will kill the chickens every day." Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile, but there is also a problem with raising chickens, that is, we have to pick grass for them to eat. In winter, there is no grass. I'm afraid it will kill them.

But this is not a big problem. Just wait until it snows to kill them directly, then put them directly in the snow to freeze them. Then the snow will become a natural refrigerator, and any number of prey can be frozen.

She heard from Xiao Yan that it would snow in this place in winter. They usually stay in caves in winter and have less activities. This can reduce hunger and avoid eating so much food.

It would be nice if there was rice. After eating meat for so long, she really wanted to eat rice. She didn't know where this place was or if there was any rice.

"Then let's catch chickens tomorrow." Xiao Yan said immediately, "I'll go there in two days to see if I can catch a few more sheep and raise them." In the past, he could do anything, but now that he has Xiaoxiao, naturally We should try our best to make her life as good as possible, at least there should be enough food for Xiaoxiao to eat, instead of following him to starve.

"Just catch a few more chickens. As for the sheep, let nature take its course. If you can catch the best, it's okay if you don't have any." After all, the sheep are not that easy to catch. The wounds on his body are still so obvious now, and she is not that good either. Such a heartless person who doesn't know how to care about him.

She felt that she had to collect some herbs and prepare them, otherwise she would always feel uneasy.

Unlike modern times where medicine can be bought quickly here, they had to survive when they were sick or injured. Especially in the winter, they had no equipment to keep out the cold. They relied on animal skins to survive the winter, so it was easy to catch colds.

She heard Xiao Yan say that winter was the time when the most people in the tribe died, and many old people and cubs could not survive the whole winter.

Fortunately, the plants here were no different from the ones she knew, otherwise she would have been blinded.

In two days, she will collect as many herbs as possible, come back, dry them and put them away. It is best not to use them, but they can be used if necessary.

"Okay." Xiao Yan agreed, but he was already planning how to catch two more sheep.

"By the way, you should also think about how to contact Ashu before he really lets Li Chuan control him." Shen Xiaoxiao frowned.

"Well, don't worry. Since Li Chuan didn't show up, Ashu should be fine." After a pause, "Like them wandering savages who live in no fixed place, few people know their whereabouts." Unless they are specifically following them, they We go to different places every day and we don’t stay in one place for long, so it’s not that easy to find them.

"Well, you should pay more attention." She had a good impression of Ashu, and she didn't want him to suffer any disaster because of her. It would be best if he was fine.

The next day, Shen Xiaoxiao cooked and ate the food and then they set off. Because it took a long time to go, she also brought a few eggs for lunch.

When they arrived at the place, they didn't see the group of chickens there. Shen Xiaoxiao thought that they might have gone foraging for food and hadn't come back yet. There were still a lot of eggs on the ground, so they put all the eggs into baskets first.

But they filled the baskets they brought and only saw a few chickens here and there. Shen Xiaoxiao felt a little strange. Could it be that someone had caught the chickens before them?

"No one knows about this place." As if he knew what she was thinking, Xiao Yan decided that if anyone knew about this place, then these chickens would have been captured long ago. There would not be so many of them, and it is even less likely that they would not be there before. scared.

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully, her eyes suddenly brightened, "Let's go and see where they go to find food." She found that the chickens she had captured and raised were thinner, even though she only fed them grass. But they should usually eat grass. How could there be so many bugs for them to eat in the forest? Why did they become fat and strong just eating here, but they lost weight after being raised by her for a few days.

She would like to see the difference between the grass they eat and the grass she gives them. Otherwise, why would she lose weight while raising them? Is it possible that she is not suitable for raising things?

This is impossible. Although she is not like her mothers and grandmothers who can raise everything well and strong, she is an agriculturist after all, and she did not read in vain in those years. How could it be possible that the things were in her hands? If you can't survive here, it must be a problem with the food.

As for why she, a descendant of a medical family, took the agriculture major, it must be mentioned that she was late in her rebellious period. In order to go against the old man, she secretly filled out her application without telling her family. By the time they found out, it was already done, and they were angry. There was nothing she could do, but later she regretted it when she saw the old man's disappointed and hurt expression, so she applied for medical school again when she was a graduate student.

Although she has graduated from graduate school, she has skipped grades all the way and is now only 22 years old. She has been a child of other people's families since she was a child. The only thing she did to be rebellious was her college aspirations.

However, that has passed, and now she wants to see what they eat to make them so fat.

She was not exaggerating, she was really fat. Every time she killed a chicken, there was a bowl of chicken fat. If the chicken fat was not cleaned, the chicken soup would be full of oil. Even if she had made the chicken thin, there was still more than half a bowl of chicken fat.

And the eggs they picked up had double yolks. She had already cooked several double yolks.

Shen Xiaoxiao looked around, but found nothing.

Xiao Yan walked to the side, looking for them as he walked. She also walked in another direction, but she didn't find anything. Except for the few that were there, there was no trace of the others.

And she found that what Xiao Yan said was true. No one knew about this place. If those chickens were caught, they would be scared when they saw people, but they had no reaction at all. Those who should bask in the sun basked in the sun, and those who should rest rested. They were not afraid of strangers at all. This was because they had lived in this safe environment for a long time, so they became like this.

"Xiaoxiao."

"What's wrong?"

"Come here."

Shen Xiaoxiao walked towards him, "Where?"

"Look." Seeing her coming, Xiao Yan pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "They are all there. They seem to be eating that kind of grass. Let's take more back."

Shen Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly her pupils shrank sharply. This is...

"What's wrong?" Seeing her stunned, Xiao Yan asked in confusion.

"Let's go and take a look." Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled him to the foot of the mountain.
