Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 76 The Runaway Rabbit

Chi was slightly disappointed.

Compared to yesterday's rabbit meat, today's meat is just ordinary meat, and the taste is completely incomparable.

Especially when compared to the fragrant roasted chili peppers, the better it tastes, the more regrettable and disappointing it becomes.

But at the same time, it makes people look forward to the next time even more.

Chi was eating his food with satisfaction when suddenly his ears twitched, and he and Jiang Luoluo looked in the same direction, one after the other.

That's the direction where two stunned rabbits are hanging.

The spiciness of the hot oil used to stir-fry the Sichuan peppercorns was probably too intense, because one of the two rabbits that were not far away was awakened by the spiciness.

The rabbit struggled in a daze, and perhaps because the rope wasn't tied properly, it actually managed to break free.

So, right in front of the two of them, it rolled onto the ground, bounced up once, and made a "splat" sound.

Before Jiang Luoluo could even laugh at the rabbit's clumsiness, her eyes widened instantly.

The reason is simple: the rabbit in front of us, which had been thrown around and was completely disoriented, suddenly rolled over and buried its head in the ground.

Jiang Luoluo: ? ? ?

She secretly reached out and pressed the ground at her feet a few times. The muddy ground, which had been pressed down by countless heavy objects, was already as solid as cement.

In just a moment of distraction, the rabbit had burrowed half its body into the ground, leaving only its chubby little bottom sticking out and swaying back and forth.

Jiang Luoluo was a little taken aback, but Chi's reaction was quite calm. She lowered her head and whispered to Jiang Luoluo, "Do you want to watch it a little longer?"

Jiang Luoluo turned her head in bewilderment. Huh? So you were sitting here without reacting because you were using this rabbit's escape as a source of amusement for her?

Jiang Luoluo quickly shook her bare arm, indicating that it was no need.

"Not watching anymore? Okay, I see the other kids seem to enjoy it." Chi put down the wooden bowl he had just finished eating from, got up and walked towards the rabbit that only had two hind legs left.

The hare probably sensed danger approaching, and its speed suddenly increased several times. Its two legs disappeared from the ground in an instant, leaving only a trace that was lighter in color than the surrounding area.

It's not even a hole in the ground.

Jiang Luoluo is brainstorming.

Chi remained completely calm, tapping the ground with his toes as if sensing something, before stomping down hard, a flash of red light passing over his body.

Jiang Luoluo could vaguely make out that it was the tattoo of a giant red wolf, just like the one that had been shown before.

With a loud bang, the earth rabbit that had burrowed underground was flung out of the ground as if it had been launched, and landed back in Chi's hand.

Chi glanced at the knot of the hemp rope that Brown had used to tie up the rabbits, and wanted to say that the technique was not good enough, but when he opened his mouth, he remembered that Brown only had one arm, so he changed his words to, "Luo, pack your things, I'll help you deal with these two rabbits."

Jiang Luoluo was still somewhat immersed in Tu Tu's series of actions, and was extremely shocked - what was that move just now?

Hearing Chi's words, he instinctively nodded in agreement and got up to work, but his attention was still on the marks that Tu Tu had made.

How did it manage to burrow into the ground without leaving a tunnel? Was it Tu Xingsun?

Even though he could only see a vague outline, Chi could sense the cub's emotions. "Luo, are you curious?"

Jiang Luoluo approached Chi, placed her chubby little hand on Chi's arm, and pressed down hard.

I'm so curious!

Chi laughed, picked up the rabbit in his hand and handed it to Jiang Luoluo to see, while saying, "Do you know why rabbits are called rabbits? It's because they love to burrow into the ground."

"They can absorb the surrounding soil with their bodies and blend into the land, so their flesh always has a strong earthy smell."

As Chi parted the rabbit's fur, Jiang Luoluo saw layers of mud seeping through the rabbit's skin, just like human sweat.

Jiang Luoluo suddenly realized why rabbit meat always had an earthy taste.

Also, she finally understood why there was always extra dust under the spot where the dried rabbits were hanging.

I used to think it was dust blown in by the wind, but now that I think about it, it was probably the result of the soil inside the rabbit's body naturally seeping out when it was dried by the wind.

Jiang Luoluo had previously wondered why a rabbit that looked so plump would shrink to just a long strip after being dried. Now she realized that it was because the rabbit's original amount of meat was removed after all the impurities were filtered out.

So, the dried rabbit meat she ate actually had much less of the earthy taste than regular rabbit meat... Good heavens, how bad must the original rabbit meat be?

No wonder the earth rabbits are never considered food in the tribe, even though they are numerous in the Taz Forest, few people bother to catch them.

Chi specifically went to catch a wild rabbit because he had eaten wild rabbit meat last night.

However, even after understanding some of the principles behind how the earth rabbit burrows, Jiang Luoluo still couldn't quite grasp one thing... This simply couldn't be explained by normal physics, biology, or other scientific principles!

Fortunately, Jiang Luoluo has been through enough shocks recently, and she can now calmly update her worldview with something like version 3.01 and then accept reality.

When in doubt, remember that this is another world.

Once the mud rabbit stopped oozing mud, Chi Cai began to work on it, bleeding it and skinning it, his movements so practiced it seemed he had done it countless times.

Even with eyes that can't see the details clearly, they can still peel off an entire rabbit skin without damaging a single detail.

While working, Chi chatted with Jiang Luoluo. "By the way, Luo, can this fire flower be used to cook soft-shelled turtle? I won't cut open the turtle's internal organs this time."

Jiang Luoluo pressed her hand to confirm, then shook her arm to indicate her refusal.

Roasted Sichuan peppercorns can certainly be used to cook fish, but she doesn't have a pot big enough to fit a fish that's a meter or two long.

“Just go to the shaman,” Chi said frankly. “I’ve been having my meals cooked by the shaman these past few days.”

For Jiang Luoluo, accidentally piercing the turtle's internal organs might not be a big deal, but Chi couldn't accept this mistake and didn't want people to think that she couldn't see things clearly and therefore couldn't do things well.

So for several days in a row, Chi spent her time catching fish in the river, practicing gutting and gutting them until she knew the structure of the fish inside and out and was sure she wouldn't make a mistake when she cut them again.

So the shaman ate fish with him for several days.

I can't refuse Chi's kindness.
