Chapter 135
For adult Kantas, this must be the most wonderful sound in the world!
Before this, they had been worried about whether these soaked eggs could be hatched, and the birth of this cub made them feel relieved.
The birth of the first cub was a good leader. With his chirping, the cubs arrived one after another. They were hidden in the deepest part of the nest by their fathers. Everyone could not see their appearance, but the louder and louder chirping told everyone that more and more Kantas cubs have broken their shells.
The fathers of these cubs did not go out to hunt, and using their body temperature to keep these cubs warm has become their most important task. In previous years, they could only rely on prey stored beside their nests to survive this hungry day. This year's situation is even more special: because the ice and snow melted too early, they did not have a dragon to store enough food, but the difference this year is that they raised cubs in conjunction with one dragon, one dragon was responsible for guarding the cubs, and the other dragon was responsible for hunting. The cubs were safe, and there was still fresh and sufficient food to eat every day.
As a result, the weight loss seasons of Kantas in previous years did not appear at all. Everyone was very healthy, and some even gained a lot of weight.
That person is Meng Jiuzhao... and Louis.
Their family has three eggs, three adult Kantas, and one and a half-large Loli Kantas. Even if everyone hatches an egg, their family still has one person left to hunt.
Just be ordered by Daboro to concentrate on hatching eggs. Meng Jiuzhao and Louis's daily food was wrapped by Dabo and Alice. They could bring back a lot of food every day, and they could only eat but not move. Meng Jiuzhao and Louis both gained a lot of weight.
My uncle has no cubs of his own this year. According to his description, the female in his cave was walking with a big belly, and she did not lay eggs. This time, she was pregnant with 80% of the female cubs.
"They have been born in the past few years." The uncle explained expressionlessly.
Meng Jiuzhao:...
Well, the uncle who has given birth to his daughter for more than ten years... You are the national father-in-law in the future...
Uncle, who had no cubs, focused on guiding Meng Jiuzhao and Louis how to hatch eggs. Although he had only successfully hatched two cubs over the years, the only two hatching processes were firmly imprinted in his mind.
"The stones must be continuously raised! Prevent the eggs from touching the ice surface!"
"Turn another side of the eggs every day! Prevent uneven heat!"
"You can't take the balls out and turn them over! It's too cold outside, so you have to do it under your butt!"
When it comes to hatching eggs, he always has endless experience.
"The two cubs I hatched back then were the strongest in the entire breeding area." Recalling the scene that was buried deep in my memory, Gulunza came up with God.
"...Yes, I remember the second cub, with a tuft of black hair on his chest..." Gulunsa's words also aroused Meng Jiuzhao's distant memories. He remembered that cub, and he even nicknamed the little guy, called Yi Cun Hei.
The scenes when he was just born are still vivid in my mind. Now, he and Louis are coming to hatch their own cubs.
"...You are indeed very smart." After quietly looking at Meng Jiuzhao, Gulunsa smiled slowly. This handsome man with a cold and hard expression rarely smiled. When he saw his smile for the first time, Meng Jiuzhao was a little lost in his mind.
"Thank you for remembering him." Gulunsa said only this, and then he worked harder to guide Meng Jiuzhao.
He not only guided Meng Jiuzhao and Louis, but also guided the other cubs who came with Meng Jiuzhao and others.
Well, the most suitable profession for uncle... Maybe it's not the father-in-law, but the mother-in-law.
It was another long wait, and he worked hard to reach the breeding ground, but once again, he did not give birth to his own eggs. Gulunsa couldn't feel disappointed. However, the existence of the group of large cubs in front of him made him cheer up again.
My own dots (←, that is, the inch of black in Meng Jiuzhao's mouth ==If you survive, it would be about the same age as them. Looking at them, Gulunsa felt that he had seen the dots he grew up with.
What's more, although he has not given birth to his own male cubs over the years, he has many female cubs. Although the next generation that continues his bloodline cannot grow up beside him, Gulunsa is sure that the female will protect her.
Like male Kantas, female Kantas is very caring for her cubs. As long as the cubs have not grown up, they will not give birth to a cub. In this harsh world, the most gentle warmth that cubs can feel is the love from their parents.
Gulunsa and the others did not know the abstract thing like "love", but this did not prevent them from leaving all the best things to their cubs, just like their parents.
At this point, Meng Jiuzhao felt inferior.
For example, when Louis thought he had eggs, he immediately adjusted his identity to his father. He did not consider the authenticity of those eggs. He devoted himself to them wholeheartedly. However, Meng Jiuzhao is still ignorant. When he saw those three eggs, he would instinctively refuse to recognize their identities with rationality. Even if he was asked to hatch eggs, he would still care more about Louis's possible feelings in the future.
In his worries, all the "chicken" who reproduced were born.
To be precise, those who can get out of the shell have all got out of the shell.
The cubs' hungry screams became more and more intense, and they were shrouded in their energetic calls every day, and they became more vibrant. In order to satisfy their growing appetite, their fathers had to hunt more often.
In this thriving scene, there are always several heads that are out of place.
All the excitement has nothing to do with them, the nest under their butts is always quiet.
Finally, one of them moved his butts away and picked up the Dandan, which had been properly placed in the center of the bottom of the nest. The moment he looked at the Dandan, the Kantas howled in pain.
The top of the balls looks intact, but the bottom is already black.
It may be because of excessive soaking in water, or it may be because this inexperienced Kantas was too cautious and did not turn over Dandan. In short, the egg was already dead.
Not long after his father's body left him, the temperature on his surface disappeared.
He - he is already a dead egg.
The arrival of new life is gratifying, and those who have been deprived of their right to life before they are born... are also regrettable.
After that egg, six nests discovered the same situation one after another.
The little life in the eggs didn't know when they left, maybe they had already died, but their father still accompanied them on the last journey.
Like other eggs, give them temperature and protect their nests until the moment they have to confirm their departure.
Burying the dead eggs, Kantas of the seven nests left one after another.
There is no reason for them to stay here.
"Let's check the eggs too." After watching the Kantas fly away, Gulunsa spoke after watching the two heads fly away for a long time.
Like the nest of the seven-headed Kantas, the nest under Louis's butt was always quiet.
"No, I'll wait for them to come out on their own." Surprisingly, Louis rejected Gulunza's suggestion.
Without looking at him, he looked like he was swearing to sit in the nest and put it in his death.
The worst situation happened, probably because he realized that there was something wrong with his egg, and Louis began to refuse to admit it.
Meng Jiuzhao first found it a little funny, but soon became sad.
"Louis, let's take a look at them. After so long, they should have some breathing?" He poked Louis's head tentatively, feeling Louis's body tighten. Then, Meng Jiuzhao saw Louis slowly turn his head.
The moment she saw Louis' expression, Meng Jiuzhao's heart hurt in her blunt heart.
Louis's expression was very wonderful, and Meng Jiuzhao had never seen his expression now.
Louis, who has always been confident, also looked calm when he was in trouble. At this moment, his face was horrified, the corners of his mouth were tense, and his eyes were filled with grievances.
"I..." He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he slowly lowered his head after a while.
He grabbed Meng Jiuzhao's hand tightly, and he finally gave up his seat in the nest.
Under the nervous gaze of Meng Jiuzhao and Louis, Gulunsa took out the well-buried egg from the nest.
After checking the egg from beginning to end, Gulunsa frowned. After a while, he raised the egg and looked at the direction of the sunlight.
After seeing one, he put the egg aside. Louis hurriedly held the egg he had put down again in his arms and wrapped it firmly around the egg with his wings. Louis looked nervously as Gulunsa took out the second egg from the nest.
The same examination was made on the second egg, and Gulunsa turned around.
"This is not an egg, it's just a stone."
Finally, someone made it clear to Louis.
Fresh stools and eggs are very similar. In fact, they have the function of confusing the public. Kantas is a race that likes to steal eggs. Many Kantas will deliberately mix stools and eggs together to improve the safety of the eggs. There will also be no cubs who deliberately take the stools back and hatch.
This is a common mistake that Kantas, who has just arrived in the breeding land, happily picking up the sludge on the roadside as eggs laid by others, and finally there are jokes that cannot be hatched every year. It's just Louis' turn this year.
The anxiety, expectation on his face... disappeared all of a sudden, Louis took out the stone in his arms and held it hard-
Without much effort, cracks appeared on the surface of the "egg". With another force, it completely shattered into powder.
There are no cubs, and it is just gray-white matter in the same color as the shell.
Louis slowly replied with a expressionless look.
At this moment, his expression coincided with His Majesty the Emperor of the previous life, with no sorrow or joy, and Louis's eyes were daunting.
"Oh~ Alice!" At this moment, Alice's happy voice broke the dead silence in this corner.
Sliding skillfully on the ice with both fins, Alice slid around their nest.
"Fish! Fish! George!" Alice slapped a big fish out of her mouth and excitedly slapped the ground.
Look~ This is the big fish caught by George~ hurry up and put it away!
Since the birth of the cubs, Alice has been highly anticipating George's arrival.
If it were the usual, Meng Jiuzhao might be Louis. They must have put away the fish, but this time, the fish jumped on the ground for a long time but no one came to pick it up. Seeing that it was about to freeze on the ice, Alice hurriedly lowered her head and put the fish in her mouth again. She struggled to hold the fish in her mouth and crawled towards the nest.
It doesn't matter if no one comes to collect it. She knows that her mother usually puts the fish there and she can put it on her own.
With her double fins climbing on the outer wall of the tall nest, Alice tried hard to raise her body. Although she was very long, she was not tall at all, and this movement was very difficult for her.
However, she was not discouraged at all, slowly rubbing up against the nest. Finally, her chin touched the edge of the nest. Alice hurriedly clasped her chin on the nest and slowly opened her mouth wide. She was about to throw the fish in her mouth into the nest, suddenly-
"Um! Um!" A very strange scream came from Alice's mouth.
Her movement finally attracted the attention of adults.
"What's wrong?" After crawling to the top of the nest in a few seconds, Meng Jiuzhao took the fish from Alice's mouth, she finally could speak normally.
"George! George!" Her unprecedented joy made Meng Jiuzhao feel a little painful. However, just as he was about to throw the fish into the storage room in the nest, his gaze suddenly caught a glimpse of something.
After throwing the fish out, Meng Jiuzhao climbed towards the nest in a backwards. He stayed in it for a long time. When he finally crawled out of the nest, a very strange expression appeared on Meng Jiuzhao's face.
Continuing to maintain this strange expression, Meng Jiuzhao came out with a ball of animal skin. Holding the ball of things, he walked straight to Louis.
"Louis, give it." Pulling Louis' cold hands over Louis's big hands, Meng Jiuzhao carefully put the ball of animal skin in his palm.
The warm feeling finally made Louis come to his senses. He lowered his head and saw Meng Jiuzhao's face that was nervous and a little shy.
His heart moved slightly.
Raising it with one hand, Louis looked at the animal skin in his hand: the skin looked very familiar, but it was the horned sheepskin they brought from home, which was light, soft and warm. He thought about using it for the cubs...
If I remember correctly, he had left this piece of skin in the nest. He had been away from the nest for so long, so this piece should have been cold for a long time.
etc!
As soon as his mind moved, Louis trembled and lifted the skin of his palm, and the little thing under the skin was completely exposed in front of him.
"Jiu--" This is a lazy greeting.
Chapter completed!
