On the tenth year of the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

Chapter 695: Cultivated Optimized Species
It was already past midnight. Xia Qing couldn't call Chang Li or her idol for advice on taking care of the five little rabbits. She could only take care of the nest of rabbits according to what she had learned from the book.

She first fed the mother rabbit that had just given birth some green clover, and then after it had eaten the grass and drunk the water, she took it out and put it in a bamboo basket.

The mother rabbit sniffed the little rabbits in the basket and started to lick them again. Xia Qing quickly held down its neck, 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 obtain resistance. Therefore, in order to feed these five little rabbits, they must be fed with milk.

Mammals are born with the instinct to suck milk. After the injured little rabbit approached the mother rabbit's abdomen, it quickly found its target and began to suck milk. The mother rabbit twisted its body and kicked hard with its 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 rabbits home.

"Mee." Xia Qing had been out for such a long time when he came back. The big sheep lying on the tatami opened his mouth and asked.

Xia Qing explained, "Our big rabbit has given birth to little rabbits, big brother, look."

With the dim light of the night light in the living room on the first floor, Big Sheep took a look at the small meat balls in the basket, but lost interest after confirming that they were not food.

"Boss, don't sleep too deeply at night. Listen to the noise outside and call me if anything happens." Xia Qing reminded Boss Yang not to forget to keep watch, then he went upstairs with the basket and first took the blood oozing from the rabbit's skin to test the quality of the rabbit.

These five little rabbits have the same quality as their parents, all with yellow lights, and one of them is a bredable optimized species with a harmful element content three points lower than that of its parents, at 8‰!
This may be related to the fact that she fed the mother rabbit a large amount of green light plants. This little rabbit must be raised well, and the cubs it will give 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 raised it as a female rabbit.

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

She has done everything she should do. Whether this litter of little rabbits can survive depends on fate.

Xia Qing yawned, washed up briefly, and lay down on the bed, falling 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 rooster's biological clock is very sensitive. When the sky starts to lighten at around 4 a.m., the black-feathered rooster in the chicken coop wakes up, flapping its wings and crowing loudly.

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

“Oh, oh—”

As soon as it returns to the chicken coop, the black-feathered rooster will use its crowing to declare that this is its territory and warn other roosters not to invade. At the same time, it crows loudly to attract the attention of the hens.

But there was only one big rooster in the chicken coop, so what was the point of 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, Boss Sheep rushed out of the house and kicked open the door of the chicken coop.

"Giggle-"

"Whoa whoa……"

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

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

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

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

When Xia Qing looked out, the red squirrel immediately shook its big, fluffy and beautiful tail, rubbing its paws and looking at her. Xia Qing opened the window and put a few more grains of corn in it, "Since you are pregnant, I will give you a snack this morning. When are you..."

Before Xia Qing could finish her words, the red squirrel had already run away with the corn.

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

Xia Qing put away the dead rabbit and found a new nest for the living rabbits before carrying them to the breeding greenhouse and holding the mother rabbit down to feed her.

After the little rabbits had eaten their fill, Xia Qing put the mother rabbit back into the cage and then put another little rabbit in.

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

The mother rabbit sniffed the hairless little rabbit, licked it a few times, and suddenly exerted force. Xia Qing held down its head in time and saved the little rabbit's life.

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

She wanted to find a "keeper" for the rabbits, and the most suitable person for this role in the Lord Alliance was Zhao Mu from Territory No. 4. Because Territory No. 4 had no evolvers, and unlike Kuang Qingwei from Territory No. 6, they could not earn points by reselling supplies, so they needed this opportunity the most.

Zhao's mother quickly responded, "I'm here. Why is Qing here so early today?"

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

"I'm free." Zhao's mother replied immediately, "I'll wait for you outside the north gate of Territory No. 3?"

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

"Sister Qing." Zhao Ze, who ran out of the North Buffer Forest with his mother, saw Xia Qing appear at the corner and immediately waved and greeted her loudly.

When they saw the rabbit cage Xia Qing was carrying, the mother and son's eyes lit up.

Xia Qing put the rabbit cage on the ground and explained why she came to Zhao's mother so early. "These are two adult yellow rabbits. The male rabbit is an evolved species, so it is bigger. The female rabbit is an ordinary rabbit. The basket contains the baby rabbits that the female rabbit gave birth to at about eleven o'clock last night..."

After explaining the whole story, Xia Qing proposed a trade, "I really can't take care of them all, and I think it's a pity that the three little yellow rabbits suffocated to death, so I want to ask you first. If you are willing to raise them, the little rabbits that survive will belong to me, and you can keep the two big rabbits. If all three little rabbits die..."

"If you can't keep the three little rabbits alive, I'll give the big rabbit back to you. Qing, thank you." Mother Zhao understood what Xia Qing meant without her finishing her words and thanked her sincerely.

"The chances of raising these three little rabbits are slim. You may have worked for nothing for a month." Xia Qing handed the basket of little rabbits to Zhao Ze and took out a soaked book from his pocket that introduced rabbit breeding techniques. "Take this book. It may be of some use."

Mother Zhao held the book tightly with her only remaining hand. "This is not in vain. If we can support him, we will have another way to make money in the future."

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

After watching Xia Qing leave, the mother and son happily returned to their territory carrying the rabbit.

Before Xia Qing had walked far, she heard Zhao's mother ask, "That rabbit you had when you were in elementary school, was it yours?"

Zhao Ze argued, "You fed the rabbit, but I shoveled the rabbit shit."

Zhao's mother's occupational disease came back. "Only cat poop is shoveled, rabbit poop is cleaned. And how many times have you cleaned it? Six out of seven days a week, your dad cleans it."

Zhao Ze chuckled, "I know, I know. Just look at your feet and turn the page after you get down the hill. It won't take a while longer."
