I am a Primitive Man

The interest in eating mulberries was disturbed by the 'foreign spicy peppers'. Han Cheng and Tietou climbed up and picked some mulberry fruits on their way back home. These mulberry fruits were gifts for everyone in the tribe.

Because he had just encountered a mythical beast like 'Foreign Spicy Pepper', Han Cheng seemed a little cautious when picking it again, not daring to be as carefree as before, worried that he would be taken care of again.

At this time, the rain also stopped, so Han Cheng and the others put the mulberry they picked into the upside-down bamboo hat.

A group of people started walking back.

Stop.

The elder brother who was at the front with the stone spear suddenly turned his head and said to everyone.

Han Cheng couldn't help but shudder, did he run into a beast?

With 40% fear and 60% expectation, he leaned against Junior Brother Sha at the side, and looked in the direction of Senior Brother's finger.

Haven't seen any prehistoric beasts?

Han Cheng was puzzled and looked around. Then……

Then, about ten meters ahead, a gray rabbit was squatting there, grazing intently.

Seeing this, Han Cheng was very disappointed, even a rabbit was so grand...

The eldest brother held the stone spear in his hand, stood on tiptoe, and approached the rabbit in front lightly.

After getting closer to the distance of two meters, the rabbit became alert, looked up at the elder brother, and then ran away.

The elder brother who had been prepared for a long time waved his right hand, and the stone spear flew out of his hand, and flew towards the rabbit.

Then...the fork missed, and the frightened rabbit jumped up and down and ran away.

Aw~Aw~Aw~

The elder brother yelled and chased after the frightened rabbit, and the others also yelled and chased after him. Only Brother Sha and Tietou were responsible for guarding Han Cheng, so they didn't leave, but look at their expressions , obviously also has some technical itch.

After about ten minutes, the panting senior brother came back with other people who also seemed a little panting. The senior senior brother was holding the dead rabbit in his hand.

It's been a long time since I hunted, and today I unexpectedly met a rabbit, which made everyone look a little excited.

Han Cheng looked at this rabbit, which looked bigger than most of the rabbits raised in captivity in the tribe, and suddenly frowned.

It is said that the rabbits in the tribe eat when they are hungry, sleep when they eat, and mate when they are interested. They live a life like pigs, and they will only be bigger than the wild ones outside.

But now, it is not as good as the wild ones, which makes Han Cheng a little confused.

With Wu, a person who would go to the side of the rabbit pen if nothing happened, there might not be any rabbits who were hungry.

Since it is not a food problem, what is the reason?

Han Cheng couldn't think of his sister.

After returning to the tribe, Han Cheng washed the purple color on his hands and face, but he didn't wash it off. After throwing two mulberries into his mouth, he carried the wild rabbit and walked to the rabbit circle with Wu.

Wu didn't understand what Shenzi meant at first, and thought it was Shenzi who wanted to eat rabbit meat, so he carried a small wooden stick with a kind face, and followed Han Cheng to the rabbit pen, grabbing an adult rabbit from inside and was about to strike. , was stopped by Han Cheng.

Wu was a little puzzled, not understanding what the Son of God meant by this move.

It wasn't until Han Cheng compared the wild rabbit he was carrying with the one in Wu's hand that Wu suddenly noticed the difference.

They are both rabbits, why is there such a big gap?

Wu looked at this obviously fat hare, then at the one in his hand, put this rabbit back into the rabbit pen, and then fished out another one from it.

After comparison, it was discovered that most of the rabbits raised by the Qingque tribe were not as fat as the wild one.

Wu scratched his head with the hand of the short stick, looked at the rabbits with obvious differences, and then looked at the grass used to feed the rabbits on the wooden raft not far away.

As well as the uneaten grass in the rabbit pen, his face was full of puzzlement.

I have never owed these rabbits, why can't they grow up like wild ones?

Is it because you don't exercise enough?

Han Cheng thought about this, and then shook his head with a smile. He had only heard of people who became fat by eating without exercising, but never heard of people who lost weight.

He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only vent his anger on these unsatisfactory rabbits. Han Cheng asked Wu to take out nine more rabbits from the rabbit pen, beat them to death one by one, serve the fat wild rabbit with a pot, and drink rabbit soup at night.

After seeing the sky clear, he started to eat extra meals consciously with the tribesmen on the muddy roofs without any further instructions from him.

Rabbits are easier to peel, as long as the head is dealt with, a 'pipe skin' can be peeled off.

The peeled rabbit skin is soaked in plant ash for a day and a night, and after being taken out, washed and dried, it becomes a soft and good leather.

Fu Jiang stood aside wagging his tail, looking at his master expectantly, wanting to get some fresh meat from his hands.

Fu Jiang, who has lived with the people of the Qingque tribe since he was a child and has been deliberately trained by Han Cheng, no longer has much wolfishness.

baji

Han Cheng threw the excavated viscera to General Fu who was waiting at the side, General Fu caught it in one bite, took it aside and shared it alone.

Uncle Lu also wanted to come over to have a bite, but after being bitten on the nose by General Fu, he left resentfully.

Ten rabbits, seven stewing soup, three barbecues, everyone who ate too much fish, only thought that the rabbit meat tasted extremely delicious.

So much so that after most of the boiled rabbit broth was eaten, everyone switched to fish soup...

Wu still looked a little melancholy, even though he had killed nine rabbits and experienced that wonderful feeling again, he still couldn't resolve the melancholy in his heart.

Why are they all rabbits, and the ones they feed themselves are smaller?

This is the first time he has asked himself this question.

Wu also experienced the feeling of tossing and turning and being unable to fall asleep...

Have!

Han Cheng, who was helping to put tiles into the tree, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. The problem that had troubled him and Wu for more than two days finally made him figure it out!

Inbreeding! Must be inbreeding!

These rabbits in the Qingque tribe are all descendants of those two old rabbits, and it is reasonable for the rabbits to become weak after such reproduction for an unknown number of generations.

In order to make the descendants of the tribe stronger and able to reproduce, several nearby tribes gathered together to hold a happy party this year, but I forgot about it!

Not only rabbits, but even the herd of deer will have to consider this issue in the future.

Han Cheng called Wu and asked him to identify the larger rabbits. Sure enough, these larger rabbits were basically early rabbits...

Wu asked Han Cheng why, and Han Cheng expressed his opinion, and Wu showed a dazed expression.

Now that the crux of the problem has been found, it will be easy to handle. You only need to catch a few wild rabbits and throw them into the rabbit pen...
