A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 277 The Inexplicable Hole
Hua Zhuo nodded emphatically, glad Jiang Qing didn't refuse.

Karl did pick a lot of cherries, she couldn't finish them all by herself, and the most important thing is that she is very happy. Jiang Qing likes to eat cherries, and she is very happy when someone shares them.

"Jiang Qing, how many chickens do you have here? Why does it look like one is missing..." Qing asked.Dried bamboo shoots exposed to the sun on wooden boards can be collected and stored in the cellar after a day or two in the sun!In autumn and winter, it tastes great when used to stew bacon or something!

While eating the cherries, Jiang Qing tilted her head and said, "There seem to be 26 here?" Kong sent a lot of them one after another, except for those who were slaughtered and stewed every day, there should be more than 20 at home.

Seeing Qing's gloomy expression, he said, "Why, the number of words is not right?"

After counting and nodding, there were only 25 after counting a few laps, obviously one was missing.

"One is missing." Qing Qing said seriously.

No one from the tribe will come here to catch chickens to eat, and the captive pheasants have their wings cut off, let alone fly away.Could it be that he ran away?Looking around the tight fence, no matter how I look at it, I don't think the chicken can fly away by itself.

"Is there no chicken ring?" Jiang Qing asked doubtfully.The number of words here is wrong, maybe it is laying eggs in the chicken coop.Although the front and back of the house are orderly, there is still a lot of land left, overgrown with weeds, and there are many kinds of small insects.They don't need to be fed every day, and they don't go hungry.

Qing shook his head, and said anxiously: "I checked the chicken coop, but there is nothing there. There is a hole in the chicken coop, as if something gnawed it out..."

Qing is worried that the tribe has entered the beast?Green vines are strong and wear-resistant.The bowl-sized hole looked like it had been gnawed off by some kind of animal.Thinking of the bamboo rat's teeth, it's no wonder that Qing is so suspicious.

"There are regular patrols in the tribe every day. Come to think of it, shouldn't some wild beasts dare to sneak in?" Jiang Qing thought hard, quite puzzled.

Luo Shan also put down the bone needle at this end, and the clothes were just about to be hemmed, and it didn't take much time.This is the last modification, after trimming, it can be worn.

"Could it be a bamboo rat?" Cao asked.

Qing waved her hands, her mouth was slightly cold and she walked up the steps, "It doesn't look like it, this thing is a bit evil!"

It's no wonder that Qing is so serious. You must know that tomorrow is the wedding day, so don't let this mess up!She clearly remembered that the chicken coop was in good condition the day before yesterday, so why did she find a hole in the chicken coop when she went to see it today? It should have happened in the past two days.

"Don't worry, I'll go to the chicken coop to have a look." Jiang Qing waved her hand and got up from the reclining chair.This reclining chair was specially made by her with the rush of work, and it was covered with thick animal skins, making it very comfortable to lie on.When she is free, she likes to lie by the window and rest.

Feeling the tranquility of Taoyuan, the whole person becomes elegant and peaceful.

As soon as Jiang Qing said, several people immediately followed.

They all want to see the opening of the hole that Qing said, the green vine is so strong that it is not easy to cut it even with a bone knife.They also want to see what kind of thing can gnaw a hole out of the green vine.

Walking to the chicken coop, Jiang Qing squatted down.

Sure enough, a hole the size of a bowl was exposed at the innermost corner of the chicken coop.Jiang Qing frowned, and walked slowly to the back of the chicken pen. There was a big shed here, and there were two sheep and three little piglets in it.

The two sheep were sent over empty-handed, and the three little piglets were brought back by Lang Mo when he went out.The big wild boar went into everyone's stomachs, and the little piggy Lang Mo planned to listen to Jiang Qing's captivity. He usually didn't get anything else to feed him, so he went to the nearby mountains and forests to cut some wild vegetables and throw them in. Sometimes Lang Mo even leaves and roots. Throw everything in.

At the beginning, Jiang Qing was worried that the little piglet would not eat it.

Unexpectedly, they ate very happily, not to mention wild vegetables, they even ate all the leaves and roots!

Jiang Qing was shocked when she saw it. She was thinking about how to cook the pig food, but now that she saw it, it didn't have to be so troublesome to cook the pig food!This wild wild boar eats omnivores, has eaten bark and roots, and can eat some wild vegetables to make a living, as long as it is not hungry!
"Such a small hole should be some kind of small animal." Jiang Qing gestured at the hole the size of a bowl, the largest of which was no larger than a bamboo rat or a hare. Such a small hole should not be harmful.

"Small animals?" Cao and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. There were not many small animals in the Forest of Death, and the ones they had seen were all very cruel.Like pheasant and wild duck, if Jiang Qing hadn't said it was delicious, they would never have thought about hunting at all.

There is too little meat, and it is too troublesome to handle and waste time.

After all, even Kong's half-grown children could eat two of them when they were hungry.Not to mention adults, women are better. If a man eats with his belly open, he may be able to eat four to five in one meal, which is not enough. The time spent dealing with pheasants and ducks is enough for them to hunt large wild animals.Besides, large beasts have a lot of meat, which is also convenient for hoarding and storage.

"Like a hare?" Huazhu whispered.

She likes rabbits very much, Karl caught a little white rabbit for her, it was just born, it is small and soft, and flowers like to hug it when they are free.

Jiang Qing nodded, and said with a smile: "Almost, with such a small hole, larger animals can't get in at all." Besides, she doesn't think that any wild animal can sneak into Taoyuan under the eyes of the inspectors. , It's already messed up!

During this time, Langmo and the others ran around Taoyuan in all directions, and roughly figured out the terrain and pattern near Taoyuan.The only thing worthy of attention is the direction mentioned by Lang Bo.

It has been confirmed that there is a tribe living there, and it is not yet known how many people there are in that tribe. Is it friendly?

Before his own tribe was fully established, Lang Mo suggested not to startle the snake, and not to cross the Mian River for the time being.It is long and long, extending far away, vaguely resembling Qinghe in the forest of death.

Jiang Qing stroked her chin and stared at the small hole.

Guess, is it a weasel or a fox?Weasels and foxes both like to eat chicken very much. Although they have never seen these two animals in the Beast God Continent, she couldn't help but feel a little weird looking at the entrance of this cave.

One must know that the men in the Beast God Continent have the shape of a beast. I don't know how they feel when they encounter the same kind of animals when they are hunting?He remembered that Lance liked to eat chicken very much, unlike Cao who was slightly interested in chicken soup, Lance wanted to eat chicken every meal.

Moreover, he encouraged fifty or sixty chickens to be raised in the grass pen, most of which were caught by Lance himself in the mountains and forests.If it weren't for the care of the grass, Lance would have liked to raise hundreds of chickens in captivity, and slaughter them every time he wanted to eat!
Thinking about it, Jiang Qing couldn't help but laughed cheerfully by herself.

The inexplicable laughter made Cao and the others confused, and asked: "Jiang Qing, what are you laughing at?" Seeing Jiang Qing staring at the entrance of the cave and giggling, they all became worried.

Jiang Qing quickly waved her hand and replied, "It's okay, I'll let Lang Mo come over to watch tonight..."
