On the sixth day after picking up the strange cub, the Xiong brothers had almost asked around the entire city, and even asked people in the inner city to inquire, but the answer they got was still that they had never seen it.
Since no one claimed it, this cub with a clear origin just stayed in the family.
Although it took a long time, Ruan Shiqing found that the cub had undergone subtle changes compared to when it first arrived.
The cub's reactions are more varied, especially when facing Ruan Shiqing, there will be subtle emotional changes, which are not obvious, but if you observe carefully, you will find that when it is happy, its eyes will be brighter, and when it is confused, its vertical pupils will dilate slightly.
He can understand words and speak them, and he especially likes to imitate Ruan Shiqing.
For example, when Ruan Shiqing fed him nutritional supplements, he would draw out the sound "ah~"; after that, every time he took nutritional supplements, he would open his mouth and draw out the ending sound "ah~" before starting to eat.
But most of the time, it is quiet.
In the process of getting along, Ruan Shiqing also found that the cub lacked a lot of common sense. Although his mood was indifferent, in fact, the cub seemed to be curious about everything.
However, his curiosity is similar to being in a daze. When he sees something that interests him, he will stare at it intently, without moving for a long time.
Ruan Shiqing even suspected that the cub kept staring at him at first out of curiosity.
So when I have free time at work, I will take the cub out for a walk to let him see more of the outside world.
On this day, took the cub out again.
The cub grabbed the corner of his clothes and followed him closely. Ruan Shiqing occasionally looked down at him and found that his dull eyes were bright and his mouth, which was always pursed, was slightly open - a sign of great happiness and relaxation.
took the cub to the underground market and bought some daily necessities and small toys for .
The little kid, holding a small backpack filled with toys, tilted his head slightly, and his black vertical pupils changed from a thin line to an almond shape.
He stared at the small bag in his arms for a long time, and the tentacles on his forehead swayed gently.
Ruan Shiqing guessed that Shi Shi should be happy.
The two of them strolled around the house for a while before heading home with their bags.
09 is practicing singing in the front yard. I have recently become obsessed with a very famous singer and have been practicing his songs in my free time.
Seeing Ruan Shiqing coming in, she stopped singing, took the things in her hand, and complained, "Sir, have you noticed that the fallen star vines in the courtyard have become haggard? I have taken good care of them, but they have grown a lot of yellow leaves recently. It has never been like this before, it's really strange."
The little robot is very confident in his skills in taking care of the vines. Apart from , no one can take care of these Falling Star vines so well.
The branches are flexible and strong, the leaves are tender and green, and after careful care and pruning, the ornamental value is no less than that of a work of art. Although the vitality of the fallen star vine is tenacious, on the planet B3024, only repair shops can have such scenery.
The little robot is very proud every time he hears visiting guests praising the vines in the courtyard.
But now these carefully cared-for vines are beginning to wither, and the reason cannot be found, which makes the little robot very worried.
The red dot on the screen kept flashing, and I could only ask the owner for help.
Ruan Shiqing approached the vines and took a closer look, and discovered that there were indeed a number of yellow leaves hidden among the lush branches and leaves. The leaves that were not yellow were not as green and lively as before, and they looked wilted.
"Is he sick? Or is he infested with worms?"
The little robot shook his head: "I checked everything, there is no problem."
However, this may cause your vines to become sick or infested with insects.
Ruan Shiqing checked it again with and did not find anything abnormal.
Instead, the cub standing behind them tilted its head, with the tentacles on its forehead swaying. After a moment, it stepped forward and placed its palm on the wilted Fallen Star vine, as if stroking it - this was the first time it had done such a thing.
Ruan Shiqing and 09 both looked surprised.
In front of the camera, the baby will not actively touch any object, even if the baby shows great interest in it.
But now, the tiny cub was stroking the thick branches of the Falling Star Vine, and the tentacles on its forehead were constantly swaying.
Ruan Shiqing keenly felt that something seemed to have changed around them, as if a very soft aura had enveloped them, or rather the vines.
The little robot that had been keeping a close eye on the vines exclaimed, "The vines are coming alive!"
The mother looked at the cubs in surprise and waved her hands excitedly: "Thank you, I can feel that they are full again, as if they have eaten enough."
The tentacles on its forehead drooped down, and the cub withdrew its hand and retreated back to Ruan Shiqing. It grabbed the corner of Ruan Shiqing's clothes with its palm and leaned its body against Ruan Shiqing's legs.
This is a posture of intimacy and dependence.
Ruan Shiqing looked in amazement. He looked at the wilting vines and the tired cubs, and made guesses one after another in his mind.
But in the end, she calmed down, picked up the cub and brought it back to the bedroom.
The cub lay on the bed, staring at the camera with his eyes open.
Ruan Shiqing covered him with a quilt and said softly, "Take a nap if you're tired."
After hearing what the father said, the cub closed its eyes obediently, and the tentacles on its forehead drooped listlessly.
After he fell asleep, Ruan Shiqing went downstairs to the workshop and searched online to find out which Bis races had the ability to heal plants.
But the result is no.
In this day and age, fresh ingredients are very expensive and only a few people can afford them. Most people use nutritional supplements to supplement the energy needed by the body.
The reasons for the current situation are, firstly, the low cost of nutrient solution and secondly, the low survival rate of plants, which makes vegetables and food scarce. And those wild plants that can survive tenaciously, such as the falling star vine, contain a lot of toxins that are harmful to the human body and cannot be eaten.
It takes a lot of effort to cultivate non-toxic edible vegetables and crops. Without cheap crops as feed, animal farming can only rely on artificial feed, and the output is greatly reduced, so the price of fresh ingredients has been rising.
The ability to heal plants is a desire many people crave but never achieve.
—If we had this ability, the world would be filled with metal machines and there would be more vitality.
Thinking of the quiet and silent cub, Ruan Shiqing didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
thought for a while, found 09 in the yard, and asked him to tell him about the Falling Star Vine.
It's still a naive cub, and it's too early to tell what abilities it has mastered, whether they are good or bad.
