Chapter 17 Rabbit
"How much meat does such a big rabbit have? It's enough to eat several meals, right?"
Listening to Xiaohua's excited cry, Lin Yuan's mouth twitched. Sure enough, when children of this era saw rabbits, they would not think of cute words at all, but the problem of eating meat.
Luo Xiaohua, who was drooling at the rabbit when she learned that she was just pregnant, had a little regret, but she thought that there would be a little extra bunny in the future, so the regret would soon disappear.
In particular, Lin Yuan also promised her that she would give her two when the female rabbit gave birth to a rabbit, which made Luo Xiaohua even more excited. When she thought that the little rabbit would have meat to eat when it was raised, she was surprisingly patient.
Luo Xiaohua imitated her usual eyes when she looked at her breasts, looked at the female rabbit with loving eyes, and touched its bloated belly, hoping to give birth to a baby soon so that she could catch her home to raise it.
After Lin Yuan and Luo Xiaohua stuffed the female rabbit into a wild vegetable basket and covered it with grass, and avoided the eyes of the villagers along the way and returned home smoothly, the two of them were completely relieved.
Nowadays, whether it is the crops in the fields or the wild animals in the mountains, they are collective. If someone sees them, they will catch a rabbit and come back, and they will have to be confiscated.
When the old lady saw that her granddaughter had caught a female rabbit, she sighed in her heart that her granddaughter was lucky. At the same time, she built a nest for the rabbit in a small room next to the warehouse according to Lin Yuan's request. Now the weather is getting warmer and it won't be frozen even if it is kept here.
The old lady touched the female rabbit's belly again. The pregnancy cycle of the rabbit is usually around forty or fifty days. Judging from the belly, it is estimated that it will be about ten days before giving birth.
The female rabbit in captivity was a little weak. Lin Yuan took wild vegetables and fed it but didn't eat much. It was not until Lin Yuan fed it a lot of spiritual spring water that allowed it to slowly adapt.
In the next few days, Lin Yuan and Luo Xiaohua slipped to the gentle slope from time to time, except digging wild vegetables and trying their luck to see if they could encounter wild animals again.
Perhaps because everything is revived in spring, there are more pheasants and hares that are rarely seen throughout the winter. Lin Yuan’s space soon has two more wild pheasants in stock.
Luo Xiaohua was also lucky and met a pheasant and hare several times, but she failed to catch it without a cheat.
This is all meat, Luo Xiaohua was a little anxious and simply called her three brothers to reorganize the trap that had been abandoned for several years.
It was only at this time that Lin Yuan heard from the old lady that the abandoned trap pit before was actually made by her father when she was still alive in her life.
At that time, her biological mother was pregnant with her. Her father came back from the army to visit her relatives and found that it was inconvenient for her family to eat meat. In order to supplement her daughter-in-law's nutrition, she dug many traps.
"In addition to that place, there are several traps dug in the mountain. Your father is brave. He dares not enter the mountain. He has really caught a lot of good things by him. But who knows that your father died shortly after he returned to the army. If your father is still alive..."
Seeing the trap pit that was re-tied by the eldest brother of the Luo family, Lin Yuan also missed the father who had never seen him and had died early.
Compared to her scumbag father in her previous life, if her father was still alive in this life, he would definitely be a good father.
Lin Yuan could only sigh that he seemed to have no parents' connection in both life.

Early in the morning that day, Lin Yuan was busy seeing the female rabbit who was almost due to due date as soon as she got up.
When I entered the warehouse compartment, I saw the slippery female rabbit raised by Lingquan water moving her body with difficulty.
When Lin Yuan came to the front, he found that there was a rabbit like a little mouse in the nest, and the female rabbit was still working hard to give birth.
Lin Yuan, who was the first time seeing a rabbit give birth to a baby, was startled and hurriedly ran to inform her of her breasts.
The old lady was cooking. When she heard the shouts, she got up and went to take a look. Seeing that the female rabbit was having some difficulty, she went out and poured a bowl of salt water and brought it to the female rabbit.
After listening to the old lady's explanation, Lin Yuan realized that if the female rabbit did not replenish its energy in time when she gave birth, the female rabbit who was not strong enough would eat the baby she had just given birth.
Lin Yuan was trembling when he heard this, and was startled by the cruelty of the female rabbit.
Perhaps it was because Lin Yuan fed the spiritual spring water to the female rabbit these days that it worked. With sufficient physical fitness, it showed no sign of eating the little boy.
The old lady looked at it for a while, but saw that she couldn't give birth in a while, so she told Lin Yuan not to touch the little rabbit and went out to continue cooking.
Lin Yuan just squatted aside and watched. It was not until almost half an hour later that the female rabbit finally gave birth to all the little rabbits.
Seeing that the female rabbit started drinking water, Lin Yuan added some spiritual spring water to its bowl and counted the number of rabbits in the nest. After counting, he was surprised that there were actually nine rabbits in total.
Lin Yuan looked at these nine fleshy little cubs and was shocked that the female rabbit could have such a child. No wonder the rabbits became a disaster in Australia later.
At first she thought that at most four or five were born, but now there are nine in this nest, so the number of people assigned to Luo Xiaohua must also increase accordingly.
Lin Yuan felt that it would be almost done to leave three or four of them. Anyway, if she had no meat to eat in the future, she could go to the mountains to catch them, so there was no need to raise them at home.
Luo Xiaohua ran over to see after learning that the female rabbit gave birth, but the newly born rabbit was too young and had to be raised with the female rabbit for at least ten days before she could survive alone.
When Luo Xiaohua learned that Lin Yuan only had four little rabbits and all the remaining few were distributed to her, she was so happy that she couldn't stop working, and she started to work happily. She even asked her father to help build a cage for the rabbit to make a nest.
Seeing that she was so enthusiastic about the little rabbit, Lin Yuan was really worried that she would raise a relationship. When the little rabbit grew up, she was reluctant to eat it.
However, Lin Yuan obviously underestimated Luo Xiaohua's persistence in eating meat. At this time, what Luo Xiaohua thought of was not the cute rabbit, but various ways to eat rabbits.
Because Lin Yuan often feeds the rabbits spiritual spring water, not only did the female rabbit recover quickly after sufficient milk, but even the little rabbits that were not easy to raise were all survived.
After about ten days, the nine little rabbits, which were originally not much bigger than babies' fists, all grew like children's palms and were fluffy.
After the little rabbit could eat grass by himself, Luo Xiaohua caught all the five people he had booked before, staring at the rabbit and looking forward to eating meat soon.
