"Heavy means that George is healthy~" Supporting Meng Jiuzhao's body, Louis took over the small weight and raised it up to his face. He gently rubbed the little guy with his cheek.
Dad's eyelashes were so long they almost touched George's nose, and the little guy sneezed loudly.
Worried that it was a sign of catching a cold, Louis hurriedly put the cub into his robe. When he felt the heavy weight, Louis couldn't help but look at Meng Jiuzhao, and the two of them showed blushing smiles again.
"Have you two... wandered outside my lair enough?"
Just when the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled stupidly, a voice suddenly came from above them. When Meng Jiuzhao and Louis looked up, they saw the lair owner's displeased pooping face.
"You have walked around my lair five or six times just now, and I tell you that even if you help me retrieve the eggs, you will never steal my cubs!" The owner of the lair warned them sternly.
Uh-
Meng Jiuzhao's face turned red.
He was just thinking about why he hadn't reached his own lair for a long time, feeling that he and Louis had been circling around other people's lairs, and they were mistaken for egg thieves, this, this——
What a shame!
"You don't need to steal~ We have cubs in our family!" Completely different from Meng Jiuzhao, not only did Lu Yi not feel ashamed, he, he was actually very proud.
Louis seemed to want to show off, but unfortunately his partner didn't give him this chance, and Meng Jiuzhao quickly pulled him away after grabbing Louis' hand.
As long as they didn't go around in circles, their lair was actually not far from the uncle's house, and Meng Jiuzhao and Louis soon walked to their lair.
Just before they walked to the lair, they saw Alice lying on the side, waiting solemnly.
Seeing Meng Jiuzhao and Lu Yi, the big eyes of the crooked Lolita immediately released a light of surprise, she opened her big mouth, and a round... stone was revealed in her mouth, but it was just checked and confirmed by the uncle. A stone that is not an egg.
Didn't understand what Gulenza just said, in Alice's eyes, this stone is still an egg, and there is another George living in it.
"George! George!" Hearing little Lolita's cheerful cry, Meng Jiuzhao felt a little guilty.
During their absence, in order to help them guard this "egg", Alice has been firmly guarding their nest. As an aquatic Kantas that can't stay out of the water for too long, Alice can only run back and forth between the nest and the sea, and I don't know how many times she has run. A drag trail.
Taking the round stone out of her mouth, Meng Jiuzhao put it back into the nest properly. After crawling out again, he patted Alice's big head.
"Thank you, Alice."
"Yo~" You're welcome!
I don’t know about my own hard work, as long as my father touches my head, I feel very happy (≧▽≦) / Mom and Dad have returned, "George" has been taken away by them, and the other George has also seen it, Alice Finally satisfied.
Flicking her tail, she reluctantly left.
Meng Jiuzhao kept staring at her back until he confirmed that she had entered the water, then he looked away.
Louis was in charge of watching the cubs, and Meng Jiuzhao took the initiative to prepare the dinner.
As the ice and snow melted, the climate here gradually became warmer. Although it was still very cold, it was much better than before. Other creatures appeared one after another in the breeding ground.
Most of these creatures are small in size, and a considerable part of them are tiny mammals. Because of their small size, Kantas here mostly ignores them. In the era when dinosaurs dominated, mammals were mostly small, which was also a means for these mammals to protect themselves.
Kantas may not pay attention to these weak creatures, but Meng Jiuzhao does not. After eating raw fish for too long, he is now very greedy for real meat. There were already enough fish at home, so he didn't have to worry about the future. He concentrated on searching for those hidden ice holes on the ice. After spending half an afternoon, he really caught three emaciated prey.
This is a kind of creature that looks very similar to a rodent, but it is bigger than a rodent. When Meng Jiuzhao caught them, two of them were fighting for the right to mate. They fought so fiercely that Meng Jiuzhao suddenly Picked up a bargain.
It seems that after the cubs of Kantas were born, some creatures entered the reproduction period.
He took out one rodent and left it to Loli Crooked Mouth, and the remaining two rodents became Meng Jiuzhao's family's dessert. After eating the rodents, Louis purposely kept their tails. The mice's tails can continue to move for a long time even if they leave the body. The cubs of the Wash tribe love to play with them since they were young. Thinking of this, Louis decided to keep them as toys for George.
Louis put the mouse tail in front of George with love, and George lowered his eyes to look at the lively tail, and then...
Eat them up.
Satisfied with a full belch, George rolled on the spot with his chubby stomach in his arms, rolling and rolling, rolling for a long time, and at last probably had enough rolling, hugged one of the stones, and fell asleep sweetly.
"George, daddy is here." The cub ran to hug a stone without using daddy's warm wings, Louis felt a little uncomfortable.
Stretching out a hand, Louis immediately carried George back and placed the cub between his legs. Then Louis leaned back and made sure that he had left more space for Meng Jiuzhao to sleep. Stretch out the thick wings. The huge white wings cover the entire nest airtightly, almost perfectly insulating the cold air outside. It didn't take long for the nest to warm up.
The Kantas in the lair spread their wings one after another, so white roofs bloomed above the Kantas' lairs. Kantas do not need a roof for their nests, their wings are the best roof.
Not long after Louis spread his wings, it began to snow outside.
Even though the weather has gotten a lot warmer, it's still extremely cold here. Today, although the days in the breeding grounds are always sunny and good, there will still be blizzards at night, and the biting cold wind blows the white feathers of the Kantas, and the white snow fills the gaps in their elytra. For these Kantas who use their wings to protect their nests, the temperature inside the nest and outside the nest is simply a world of ice and snow.
It is a sweetest torment. For the precious treasures in the lair, they are willing to do so.
But they are not completely without gains. After the test of the blizzard, they will eventually transform into a more powerful Kantas.
Sitting in the nest, letting the blizzard beat his wings, Louis quietly looked at the two people in the nest: the cub had fallen asleep between his legs, and at some point, George hugged a stone again, and the whole cub fell asleep. The chicken was lying on a rock bigger than his body, and the little chicken was sleeping soundly; beside him, Ah Tu was crouching down to process the rodent skins they got in the afternoon. The skins they brought were limited, the key was that they were not thick enough . The rodent skins caught this afternoon were a windfall. After finding out that the skins of these mice were soft and thick, Meng Jiuzhao immediately decided to use them.
After dealing with the skins of the three rodents, Meng Jiuzhao made them into pockets and sewed them on Louis' body by putting the three pieces of skins together into one piece.
"In this way, you can carry George around." Meng Jiuzhao couldn't hold back his laughter when he thought of Louis who was carrying a cub around like a kangaroo.
Louis didn't smile, but after imagining the scene, a gleam of joy appeared on his face.
"That would be very convenient."
"When we were young, Dad also put us in bags." Patting the front pocket of Louis' clothes, Meng Jiuzhao suddenly remembered what happened when he was a child.
"yes?"
"It's not this kind of bag, it's just a big bag." Meng Jiuzhao recalled the scene at that time, "Dad packed us together. At that time, I felt very cold every day, so I relied on your body temperature to keep me warm. .”
"...It's a pity, I don't remember." Listening to the clips of his partner's memories, Louis also tried to remember the scene at that time, but unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't think of anything: "Then am I warm?"
Quietly looking at Louis's warm amber eyes, Meng Jiuzhao smiled slowly, "Well, Louis is the warmest, just like now."
"You've worked hard these days, Louis, isn't it snowing outside the lair?"
"It's not cold, it's okay. Shall we continue eating rodents tomorrow?"
"Okay~"
In the quiet lair, the two were discussing and talking until Meng Jiuzhao could no longer hold on and fell asleep.
Stretching the sleeping partner's body a bit more, Louis shrank back cautiously. After making sure that no wind leaked in through the wings, he closed his eyes. Soon after, there were more birds in the nest. A sleepy snore.
***
Louis's kangaroo outfit was accidentally spotted by Kantas next door, so a steady stream of Kantas began to come over to ask for advice.
Kantas is a race with a strong learning ability. Although they don't usually live together, once they have something good, they will always learn from each other. The most typical example is the small backpack of the Kantas. In the beginning, it was just a backpack prepared by a Kantas, but in the second year, this backpack became a must-have equipment for a sub-adult Kantas.
Eating, giving birth to cubs, and finding a wife are the most important tasks in Kantas' life, and giving birth to cubs takes up a particularly large proportion. The pocket that can carry cubs with him is an invention for male Kantas. It was very meaningful, and they immediately thought: how convenient it would be to have such a pocket when laying eggs~
Against this background, it's no wonder that Louis' kangaroo outfit became popular throughout the breeding ground in such a short period of time.
The rodents who lived a leisurely life were unlucky. They were never listed in the Kantas recipes because of their small size, and because of their thick fur, they became the objects captured by the Kantas.
Within two days, everyone in Kantas, the place of reproduction, had a big sack in front of their belly, and the chubby cub was lying in it, not to mention how comfortable it was.
