Chapter 26: Raising Pheasants

“I caught this myself yesterday!”
Tang Guo rolled her eyes at him. She got up, took out the improvised toothbrush she had made yesterday, and brushed her teeth and washed her face.
Although it was called a toothbrush, it was actually a broken willow branch. She felt that it was quite useful to chisel soft fibers from one end.
Bai Ye was quite surprised. “You caught it yourself?”
He thought that Pebble and the other brats had helped her catch it!
He could not help but lean over to the side of the cage and smell it carefully. It was indeed only her own aura!
He couldn’t help but look at her more deeply. The Wisdom Star had awakened. This ability had really grown. He couldn’t help but be impressed. He wondered what other abilities she had that he didn’t know about.
“What’s this?” he asked, pointing to the willow branch in her hand.
“It’s called a toothbrush. You use it to brush your teeth.”
Tang Guo ignored his probing gaze. Since he had already found an excuse for her, so be it. She would definitely know more and more things in the future. When the time came, she would have to give an explanation.
After washing up, she checked on the pair of pheasants first.
The primitive species of the Beast World had not been domesticated. These two pheasants were lucky enough to catch the lead vehicle. At this moment, they were very depressed. After being locked up for a day and a night, they were still very irritable!
However, the vine cage had a superpower. No matter how they struggled, it was useless.
Tang Guo didn’t care if they understood her or not. She just knocked on the vine and warned slowly, “Be good and lay eggs for me to eat. If you’re unwilling to cooperate, I’ll slaughter you and make soup. I think yesterday’s pheasant soup was quite delicious!”
Bai Ye was shocked. “So she’s not going to eat them, but keep them?” He frowned, thinking she was doomed to disappointment. In the past, someone in the tribe had tried rearing wild animals, but they had all failed.
Suddenly, someone walked towards them. Bai Ye was about to go out to hunt when he saw this and stopped. He was even more surprised to see Archie throw ten dead pheasants in front of Tang Guo.
Tang Guo happily moved all ten dead pheasants into the cave.
Bai Ye gave her a questioning look.
What happened to her catching the pheasant herself?
Tang Guo said, “Milo compensated me for this. In addition to these ten dead ones, they will also give me twenty live ones!”
At this point, she couldn’t help but feel vexed. She could weave a cage out of vines to keep them in for the time being, but once the number increased, it didn’t seem appropriate to keep them in cages!
She had to find a place quickly and build the henhouse first.
Bai Ye said, “Let’s just lock them in the cave.”
He didn’t think she’d succeed, but it wouldn’t hurt to let her try. As long as she was happy.
“Close it with a cave?”
It wasn’t impossible, but she felt it would be overkill to use a habitable cave to keep the pheasant.
Bai Ye took her straight down to see it.
It turned out that the caves where the orcs lived in the tribe were located at high altitudes. Although there were a few small caves in places like this that were very close to the ground, basically no one lived in them.
Only then did he say, “It’s too damp here. Beastmen don’t feel comfortable living in it for long, so everyone moved to higher ground.”
So this was an abandoned cave!
With that said, Tang Guo walked into a cave without any psychological burden. It was almost directly below Bai Ye’s cave, but it was much smaller than Bai Ye’s cave. It was about twenty square meters.
Perfect for raising pheasants!
At that time, she would tie vines at the entrance of the cave and add some superpowers to the vines to stop them from coming out. It would also prevent wild beasts and the like from going in to steal chickens.
Perfect!
Only then did Bai Ye ask, “Why did Milo compensate you for the pheasant?”
“Furthermore, they’re alive and there are so many of them?”
Tang Guo suddenly remembered that this person was the leader of the Back Cliff Tribe. Strictly speaking, Milo’s male beast had committed adultery with another female. This was also considered a major matter that endangered the unity and stability of the tribe. It was also under his jurisdiction, right?
So should she warn him or not?
Tang Guo had never done anything like this before, because in the past, she had been the one at the top of the food chain in the apocalyptic world. Such minutiae were things for her subordinates to worry about.
She was still not used to the sudden change in role.
The subtle change in her expression did not escape Bai Ye’s notice. He was about to ask her more carefully when Milo’s voice sounded outside the cave. “Tang Guo, can you come out for a moment?”
Tang Guo was surprised. “Was Milo looking for her about the twenty live pheasants?”
Apparently, Bai Ye thought so too. He couldn’t help but sigh. “There are as many of them as you want dead. It’ll be a little difficult to capture them alive.”
The orcs were used to pouncing on their prey and biting them to death.
“I know what I’m doing. Don’t you have something to do? Hurry up and leave.”
Tang Guo couldn’t stand him following her everywhere. What was wrong with him? Had he taken the wrong medicine and changed his personality?
Milo came alone, and there were no males following her. Embarrassed to be on the sidelines, Bai Ye went hunting.
Although Tang Guo had ten pheasants, they were living in his cave, so it was better to eat the prey he hunted.
Once Bai Ye was gone, Milo visibly relaxed. She looked at Tang Guo and started to say something, then stopped. Finally, she said, “Tang Guo, what happened yesterday was my fault. I… can I ask you a favor?”
