The eavesdropping uncle helped Meng Jiuzhao solve a big problem.
The uncle was responsible for carrying Alice, Louis was holding George and their family's luggage, Meng Jiuzhao... Meng Jiuzhao just took care of himself, and the family rejoined the other Kantas teams.
They embark on a migration that seems familiar.
Meng Jiuzhao also migrated with such a group of Kantas many years ago. Following the big army, following the two fathers, the newly formed family doesn't know where they are going...
At that time, Meng Jiuzhao was somewhat at a loss. At that time, he couldn't see himself as a Kantas at all. Without Kantas' strong body, he didn't know how long he could survive in such a harsh environment.
At this time, he had fully integrated into this group of races named Kantas, they accepted him, and he became a part of them perfectly, without any incongruities.
After a whole breeding season, Meng Jiuzhao was surprised to find that the extremely difficult journey had become easier. The body has become stronger, coupled with the leadership of the experienced Gu Lunsa and the others, and finally the blessing of Meng Jiuzhao's pocket suit, the speed of the Kantas has never been faster!
With such a forward speed, they quickly walked out of the snow-covered ice field. When bryophytes appeared on the ground, everyone's spirits were lifted.
Although Kantas don't like to eat moss, the appearance of this plant indicates that their food types can change. Sure enough, in the afternoon, they encountered a group of rock dragons who were eating leisurely. This group of rock dragons seemed to have just finished their breeding season, and many rock dragons had their cubs with them. Unlike Kantas, which can only lay one egg at a time, Rock Dragon can lay more than ten eggs at a time, and half of them can hatch into cubs. Among the cubs in this half, only about five percent can survive to adulthood. One of the main reasons for the low survival rate of rock dragon cubs is the predation of hunters.
The moment Meng Jiuzhao's Kantas group saw the rock dragon group, the whole group became excited, and immediately several Kantas became prototypes and flew out.
The chase and hunt lasted about ten minutes.
These Kantas are not eager to kill each other. After a long period of fishing life, they miss the hunting life on land. They chased and stopped for a long time until they were sure they had had enough. The throat of the prey, dragging the prey back to its own camp.
Louis also brought back a small rock dragon.
After living in this world for so many years, Meng Jiuzhao no longer has any thoughts about this kind of hunting. Handing Louis a piece of animal skin to wipe his hands, Meng Jiuzhao and Louis dragged Yanlong to a small area where his family was stationed.
With the addition of the rock dragon hunted by Louis and the rock dragon hunted by Gulunsa, their family of five had a total of two rock dragons.
Like the other Kantas pups, George and Alice were getting their first taste of something other than fish.
Seeing Yanlong's body for the first time, Meng Jiuzhao thought that George would be taken aback to some extent, but the moment he saw Yanlong, the little guy jumped out of his pocket by himself!
The buttocks were pouted high, and the small mouth was biting the rock dragon's skin tightly. Although George was small, his movements were no different from that of an adult Kantas.
Although he had never seen a rock dragon, the instinct in his genes told him: this is food.
Well - no matter how small it is, it's a Kantas.
Picking up the fierce George, Meng Jiuzhao pried a hole in Rock Dragon's body with a knife made of shells, and then put George back on.
Then George licked it with relish.
Before the little guy's belly was completely rounded, Meng Jiuzhao pulled him off Yanlong's body. George tweeted to his father twice, as if he wanted to eat more, but Meng Jiuzhao ruthlessly refused.
It is best to adapt to new food in stages, and cubs who are used to eating fish should be cautious when changing their diet all at once.
Meng Jiuzhao not only did it himself, he also reminded the other Kantas, so on this day, only one cub in the whole colony had diarrhea.
The cub's father couldn't resist the cub's begging eyes, and couldn't help but let him eat more, so the little guy had diarrhea decisively.
Fortunately, he just had diarrhea. After a day and a night of diarrhea, he refused to eat Yanlong meat from the next day onwards.
Alice was also given a rather large piece of meat. Faced with this novel taste, the little girl didn't express any opinion, but the way she devoured it proved that she didn't dislike this taste at all.
Meng Jiuzhao treated Alice more cautiously than he did with George: only let her finish the piece of meat that was allocated to her, and Meng Jiuzhao stopped giving her rock dragon meat when Alice still wanted to eat, and took out several large pieces of meat from his backpack Giving her the fish, Meng Jiuzhao carefully told Alice to tell him if she had stomach pain or other symptoms later.
Now that he finally decided to bring Alice out, he would be responsible for her.
For Alice, who has lived in the water since she was a child, the food on land is very different from that in the sea, and her recipe changes have to be done step by step.
Meng Jiuzhao decided to record the changes in Alice's diet structure every day from today. In addition, the rest of the family should try to eat normal food, and leave as much fish in the backpack as possible for Alice.
The whole family has no objection to Meng Jiuzhao's decision.
After the group of Kantas from the same breeding ground advanced together on the tundra for a few days, Kantas bid farewell one after another.
Unlike previous years, most of the Kantas who left this time were a combination of two Kantas and a cub. Kantas doesn't seem to be used to saying goodbye. He often spends the night, and when he wakes up, he finds that there are fewer people in the team.
Finally, yesterday, Gu Lunsa's good friend Mao Mao also left. Before he left, he had invited Meng Jiuzhao.
"I'm leaving, why don't you go? I know there is a place where there is a lot of food, and there are many good territories along the way, do you want to go there together?" Kantas does not live in a fixed place, and reproduces Afterwards, Kantas with their cubs often find a place with sufficient food and settle down.
For Kantas, it is a very face-saving thing to introduce the good territories that you know to other Kantas.
But Meng Jiuzhao refused.
"I want to go home. Dad and grandpa are still waiting for us to bring the cubs back home." Meng Jiuzhao said that at the time, and he didn't feel that there was anything unusual about what he said. He said it in a very normal tone.
"Yes! We're going home together! Ah Tu said we're going to come together, go home together!" At the last critical moment, the group of "cubs" brought by Meng Jiuzhao were already ready to fight with him. They went back together, and when they saw someone actually coming to abduct someone, they immediately came over with eager eyes.
Then, Mao Mao's expressions became very strange.
"You... want to go home? Do you want to go back to your home before you came here?" In order to confirm this point, Maomao couldn't help asking again.
"Well, yes." Maomao's expressions were so weird that Meng Jiuzhao wondered if he had said something serious.
He looked at Louis and questioned him with his eyes.
"Well, we're going home, to a home with dad and grandpa. Before leaving, dad said that we can go home when we have cubs." When mentioning dad, Louis' expression was very gentle, and when he mentioned cubs When, the expression was a little shy.
Meng Jiuzhao and Lu Yi looked at me and I looked at you, they couldn't help but blush at the same time.
Alan, Xiao Hua, and Qiao Qiao were just as excited as them. With their cubs in their arms, a group of not-so-small guys began to chat about what they planned to do when they saw their father. Many people even talked about the gift they brought to Dad in their backpack—
"Alan, do you think this is good? I will accompany you home first and show your dad our cubs, and then you will accompany me home and show my dad our cubs. We told Dad that our two families Would you like to live together in the future?" Xiaohua has even planned the specific matters after returning home!
These words…
They were—seriously planning to go home!
After figuring this out, Mao Mao glanced at them with a tangled expression, and blessed them after a while.
"Wish you guys good luck."
Facing this group of "cubs" immersed in happiness, Maomao doesn't want to break their sweet dreams at the moment.
Even if they have cubs, even if they have become a father, in Mao Mao's eyes: they are still cubs, for no other reason, and the word "father" still exists in their hearts at this moment.
As soon as their father was mentioned, they turned into cubs, and they still regarded themselves as cubs that someone could rely on in front of their father.
Kantas like this can only be a cub.
All the cubs were sent on journeys to the unknown by their fathers before the breeding season began, and no one—including their fathers—knew which currents would take their cubs to which breeding grounds this year.
In this case, how can the cub go home
Maomao still remembers his father, it is a very tall Kantas, there is a yellow scale on his mouth, every time his father licks him, he can see it at a glance. Decades ago, at the end of my first breeding season, I also planned to go home.
But with the cub, the journey was difficult. He tried to find it for a long time but still got lost. In the end, he was forced to take the cub and settle down in the best territory he could find at that time.
And then…
Then he couldn't remember what his father looked like.
When I separated from my father, my father was already a very old Kantas. My father said that I would be his last cub.
Time has passed for so long, maybe Dad is gone.
Thinking of the past, Kantas, who was always cheerful, suddenly became depressed.
"I hope you can reunite with Dad. If in the future... you see a Kantas with a yellow scale on its mouth, please help me tell him that Mao Mao is doing well now and has six cubs, all grown up Yes, and the third one also has a yellow scale on its mouth."
After saying what he had never said to anyone before, Mao Mao showed a relieved expression, took a last look at the group of cubs, nodded to Gu Lunsa, and then left.
