Chapter 695: Cultivable Optimized Species

It was already past midnight. Xia Qing couldn't call Chang Li or her idol for advice for the five little rabbits. She could only take care of the rabbits according to the method she learned from the book.

She first fed the mother rabbit who had just given birth some green light alfalfa, and waited until it had eaten the grass and drank water before taking it out and putting it in the bamboo basket.

The mother rabbit sniffed the little rabbits in the basket and started to lick them again. Xia Qing quickly held its neck and let it lie on its side, and then put the little rabbit on its abdomen. The mother rabbit's milk is an important source of nutrition for the growth and development of the young rabbits, and it is also the only way for the little rabbits in her territory to gain resistance. Therefore, in order to feed these five little rabbits, they must be fed with milk.

Mammals have the instinct to suck milk when they are born. After the injured little rabbits approached the mother rabbit's abdomen, they quickly found the target and began to suck milk. The mother rabbit twisted her body and kicked hard with her hind legs a few times, but its strength was no match for Xia Qing's big hands.

After the little rabbits were full, Xia Qing put the big rabbit back into the rabbit cage and took the little rabbit home.

"Mee." Xia Qing came back after such a long time out, and the sheep boss lying on the tatami asked.

Xia Qing explained, "Our big rabbit gave birth to little rabbits, boss, look."

The sheep boss took advantage of the dim light of the night light in the living room on the first floor and took a look at the little meat ball in the basket. After confirming that it was not food, he lost interest.

"Boss, don't sleep too deep at night. Listen to the movement outside. Call me if there is any situation." Xia Qing reminded the sheep boss not to forget to keep watch, and then took the basket upstairs to take the blood oozing from the skin of the little rabbit to test the quality of the rabbit.

These five little rabbits have the same quality as their parents, all yellow lights, and one is a cultivar that has a three-point lower toxic element content than its parents, with a toxic element content of 8‰!

This may be related to the fact that she fed the mother rabbit a lot of green light plants. This little rabbit must be raised well, and the cubs it gives birth to when it grows up will definitely be of good quality.

Uh…Xia Qing couldn’t tell the gender of such a small rabbit, so she just treated it as a female rabbit.

She found a rabbit skin with good fur from the storage room and put it in a small basket to keep the litter of rabbits warm. These rabbit skins were disinfected, and the wounds on the little rabbits were also smeared with hemostatic agents.

She did everything she should do, and whether the litter of little rabbits can survive depends on fate.

Xia Qing yawned, washed up briefly, lay on the bed, and fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow. Hearing that there was no movement upstairs, the sheep boss who was chewing the cud downstairs also closed his eyes and began to sleep.

“Oh, oh——”

The biological clock of the rooster is very sensitive. When the sky began to light up at around four o’clock in the morning, the black-feathered rooster in the chicken coop woke up, flapping its wings and making loud crowing sounds.

Xia Qing turned over and pressed her head with a pillow.

“Oh, oh————”

Just after returning to the chicken coop, the black-feathered rooster used the crowing sound to declare that this was its territory and warn other roosters not to invade. At the same time, it crowed loudly to attract the attention of the hens.

But there was only one big rooster in the chicken coop, so what could it attract by swearing a warning? Xia Qing, who had a keen sense of hearing, grabbed the quilt again and pressed it on the pillow.

"Oh, oh——————"

After the rooster crowed for the third time, the sheep boss came out of the house and kicked the door of the chicken coop open.

"Cluck, cluck——"

"Oh..."

The hens were frightened and screamed and ran around. The black-feathered rooster, who was crowing, immediately fell silent when he saw the sheep boss. Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief and continued to sleep.

At 5:30 in the morning, there was a slight noise outside the window, and the red squirrel came to drink water.

The red squirrel, which was already fat like a ball, became even rounder after pregnancy, but it still jumped up and down flexibly outside Xia Qing's window. When Xia Qing opened the window, it immediately jumped onto the roof, grabbed the eaves with its claws, and poked its head down.

After Xia Qing put water and a few green beans on the windowsill and closed the window, the red squirrel jumped onto the windowsill and began to drink water and eat, and used its black eyes to keep an eye on Xia Qing's movements.

When Xia Qing looked out, the red squirrel immediately shook its fluffy and beautiful tail, rubbing its paws and looking at her.

Xia Qing opened the window and put a few more corns in it, "Since you are pregnant, I will give you a snack this morning. When will you..."

Before Xia Qing finished speaking, the red squirrel had already run away with the corn.

This heartless freeloader! Xia Qing closed the window expressionlessly and went to check the rabbits in the living room on the second floor. She found that two of the five rabbits had died, and the remaining three were sniffing around for milk. Fortunately, the optimized rabbit was still alive.

Xia Qing put away the dead rabbits and changed the nests for the living rabbits. Then she took them to the breeding greenhouse and pressed the mother rabbit to feed her milk.

After the little rabbits were full, Xia Qing put the mother rabbit back into the cage, and then put another little rabbit in.

Newborn little rabbits cannot defecate on their own, and need the mother rabbit to lick the little rabbit to stimulate its defecation reflex. The book also said that the mucus secreted by the mother rabbit will also provide certain nutrition and protection for the little rabbit.

The mother rabbit smelled the hairless little rabbit, licked it a few times, and suddenly exerted force. Xia Qing pressed its head in time to save the little rabbit's life.

It seems that it is not possible to rely on this big rabbit. Xia Qing pressed the intercom and asked, "Territory No. 4, Teacher Wang, are you there?"

She wants to find a "breeder" for the rabbits. The most suitable person in the Lords Alliance to take on this role is Mother Zhao in Territory 4. Because there are no evolvers in Territory 4, and unlike Kuang Qingwei in Territory 6, who can earn points by reselling materials, they need this opportunity the most.

Mother Zhao quickly responded, "Here you are, why is Qing so early today?"

Xia Qing asked, "I have something to ask you. Are you free now?"

"When you are free." Mother Zhao immediately replied, "Shall I wait for you outside the north gate of Territory Three?"

"No, I'll wait for you outside the buffer forest of Territory No. 4." Xia Qing walked out of the territory carrying two big rabbits and three small rabbits.

"Sister Qing." Zhao Ze, who ran out of the north buffer forest with his mother, saw Xia Qing appearing at the corner and immediately waved and shouted hello.

Seeing the rabbit cage that Xia Qing was carrying, both mother and son's eyes lit up.

Xia Qing put the rabbit cage on the ground and explained the reason for finding Zhao's mother so early, "These are two adult yellow lantern rabbits. The male rabbit is an evolved species, so it is bigger, and the female rabbit is an ordinary rabbit. In this basket are The female rabbit gave birth to a baby rabbit at around 11 o'clock last night..."

After recounting what happened, Xia Qing proposed an exchange, "I really can't take care of them, and I think it's a pity that the three little yellow-light rabbits suffocated to death, so I want to ask you first. If you are willing to raise them, The little rabbits that survive are mine, and you keep the two big rabbits. If all three little rabbits die..."

"If the three little rabbits cannot survive, I will return the big rabbit to you. Qing, thank you." Mother Zhao understood what Xia Qing meant without even finishing her words, and thanked her sincerely.

"The chance of feeding these three little rabbits is not high, and it is very likely that your work will be in vain for a month." Xia Qing handed the basket with the little rabbits to Zhao Ze, and took out a book soaked in water from his pocket to introduce the rabbits. A book on breeding techniques, "If you hold this book, it will be somewhat useful."

Mother Zhao held the book tightly with her remaining hand, "This work is not in vain. If we can make a living, we, mother and son, will have another way to make money in the future."

Zhao Ze was also very excited, "I can definitely feed him. I raised a little rabbit when I was a child, and it lived for several years!"

After the mother and son watched Xia Qing leave, they happily returned to their territory with the rabbit in hand.

Before Xia Qing could walk far, she heard Zhao's mother ask, "Is that rabbit yours when you were in elementary school?"

Zhao Ze argued, "You feed the rabbits, but I shovel the rabbit poop."

Zhao's mother had an occupational disease. "The word 'shovel' is used for cat poop, and the word 'clean' is used for rabbit poop. How many times have you cleaned up? Your dad cleans up seven days and six days a week."

Zhao Ze hehe, "I know, I know, you look at your feet, go down the hillside and then read the book, it won't take a while."
