Chapter 34 Big Belly
squeak?
Aka?
Why don't you come and eat it?
For brown house rats who can jump more than one meter high as long as they are adults, the stove of about 60 cm is not very high.
But now, it has become an obstacle.
After receiving Ron's greeting, Aka from the stove tried hard to jump around, but she just couldn't jump up.
The highest time was only about fifty centimeters, and it was about half a rat to jump onto the stove.
After trying several times, Aka, who confirmed that she couldn't jump up, lay down under the stove in dejectedly.
It smelled the tempting smell from the stove, and it also saw it as several companions feasted and squeaked their heads with their heads raised and squeaked.
However, if you can't jump up, you can't jump up.
Aka could only confirm that she had not enjoyed the delicious stewed by the leader's slap.
However, watching Ah Ka jump up again and again, Ron's mung bean eyes suddenly widened.
squeak!
That's...!
His eyes were wide and he fell in a place-
On Aka's belly.
Of course, Ron was not looking at Aka's two rows of six small dots on his belly, he was looking at his whole belly!
squeak!
How could it be so big?
I just haven't seen each other for a few days!
After handing the bird eggs found in the wood ash on fire to Aka for hatching, Ron has never looked for Aka in the past few days.
Even the food was sent to Lao Hei.
If it weren't for catching a sparrow this time and making a delicious meal, Ron might not have seen Aka.
But in just a few days, Aka's belly was like a balloon, and she had several rounds of bigger size.
squeak?
The food is so good?
Or not exercise?
Scratching his head, Ron was a little puzzled.
However, good things need to be shared.
A roll of fresh bag was pulled from the stove. The fresh bag was bought by Ron a long time ago. It had not been opened. It was just that the dust stained with the packaging film on the outside was pulled off and clean inside.
Ron pulled a fresh bag, poured the soup, sparrow meat and stewed radish into it, and jumped off the stove.
Then, he asked the four rats on the stove to bring down a vinegar plate and pour the food in the bag into the vinegar plate.
squeak.
Eat it ~
So delicious ~
Pushing the vinegar plate in front of Aka, Aka squeaked a few times and stuck her head into the vinegar plate.
"Guru~"
"Guru~"
"Guru~"
Three grunts sounded.
The first sound was Aka eating, the second sound was the neat sound of the four rats standing behind Ron swallowing, and the third sound was made from Aka's belly.
But with the third Gulance, Ron finally knew why Aka's belly was so big.
It's pregnant!
Because, with the third sound of Guru, Ron could clearly see that a noticeable little paw print was raised on Aka's belly!
…………
squeak!
Old Hei!
What am I saying to you?
No sacrificing childbirth is allowed!
Aka was eating, but it was not easy to teach her a lesson. Ron turned his head and stared at Lao Hei fiercely.
After recruiting Lao Hei and Aka, Ron provided necessary training for the two rats so that they could not urinate and defecate in the house, store food in fixed places, open various import and export channels at will, and most importantly, they could not give birth to cubs at will.
Ron knew how terrible the fertility of the rats was.
As long as the conditions are appropriate and the food is sufficient, the mice can reproduce throughout the year.
The female rat will only have about 21 days of pregnancy each time, and each litter can give birth to up to 15 small mice. The small mice will mature sexually for three months and become adult mice that can reproduce.
Moreover, the breeding period of rats can account for more than half of the entire life cycle.
According to the average calculation, a female mouse breeds once a month, and a litter of ten mice is 120 mice a year.
If half of each litter of mice are female mice that can reproduce, they will mature in just three months and then join the breeding army...
When mice grow up, they give birth to mice, and when they grow up, they give birth to mice...
Of course, Ron now has only Aka, a female mouse, so something as terrifying as above will not happen, but Ron is still very angry.
After all, if someone has been recruited, you have to be responsible for it.
"Squeak squeak squeak ~"
He seemed to understand the meaning contained in Ron's eyes, and Lao Hei squeaked, as if he was defending him.
However, by this time, whether there are any random kids or not, or whether to defend or not, is no longer the point.
The point is when the mice with Aka’s belly were born. I don’t know if they tasted the delicious taste of stewed sparrows in their mother’s belly, or if Aka’s lying down and drinking soup made them feel a little uncomfortable, the mice’s paws held up Aka’s belly from time to time.
Scream~
Anyway, the number of places to be recruited is not yet full~
Then we'll call these mice ~
Just can be trained from childhood~
Ron could only comfort himself like this, watching Aka finish eating the stewed sparrow.
…………
Since I know that Aka's big belly is because of pregnancy, it's even more impossible for Aka to go out to hunt.
Lao Hei was also stayed to take care of Aka.
Ron also specially picked a skewer of dried grilled mosquito fish and dried grilled grasshoppers and threw it to Lao Hei, so that Aka would eat it when she was hungry.
Although I don’t know how many mice are in Aka’s belly, nutrition is very important at this time.
Have you never got married, but you haven't eaten pork, and have you ever seen a pig run away?
Even on TV.
Moreover, my mother has been talking in Ron's ear since she was a child about how painful Wy Ron was when she was young, so that Ron would be nicer to his wife when she got married in the future. Ron still remembers it in his heart.
Now it's just a little bit bigger.
…………
squeak!
Great power, go!
Without the lack of Lao Hei who was left at home to take care of Aka and the guardian, Ron's hunting frequency was even higher.
He focused on larger prey - after eating sparrows, Ron knew that the meat on a sparrow was comparable to dozens of mosquito-eating fish, and it tasted better and was more nutritious.
However, compared to stupid mosquito-eating fish that can be caught with a mosquito net cloth fishing net by putting some bait, flying sparrows are difficult to catch.
Moreover, as time goes by, the sparrows that were hunted by Ron for several companions became alert and immediately flew high as soon as they saw something flashing.
It was a bit difficult for Ron to get close, let alone hunt.
This forced Ron to turn around a few days later and put grasshoppers and mosquito-eating fish in the main hunting program.
Fortunately, both sparrow hunting and grasshopper hunting are on the way. I went out to hunt sparrows first in the morning, and when I came back in the afternoon, I hunted grasshoppers.
Over the past few days, Ron hunted five or six sparrows, marinated them all with salt, hung them and dried them. More than ten skewers of roasted grasshoppers were hung on the stainless steel clothes rack.
As for why not hunt budgies in the community, and pick other fruits.
First, Ron now has insufficient rat hands and is difficult to do these things separately; secondly, these things are all in the community, and Ron subconsciously treats them as his own things and keeps them for emergency use in the future.
So, in a blink of an eye, it was August 1st.
