The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 147: The child's mother

Views:

This whole night, Hao Ren basically didn't sleep a wink.

After eating and drinking, the little mermaid completely stuck to him, unable to shake off or let go, even though the whole thatch is half a foot long, but the little guy's small arms as thin as chopsticks are really strong to hug him—and to be honest Hao Ren didn't dare to pull Doudou off his arm, he was afraid of hurting this small and thin guy, but it's not a problem to be exhausted like this!

The next morning, Hao Ren appeared in front of everyone with dark circles under his eyes. Doudou was still hanging on his arm, looking like an armband from a distance. Because the little guy refused to let go, Hao Ren didn't even change his clothes yesterday, so he just lay down all night without changing his clothes. In addition, he was afraid that the little guy would be crushed while sleeping, so he only slept for two or three hours. Naturally, I yawned at this time.

Lily was packing her things as if she was going to go out for work (the dogs in the back street should be vaccinated), and she was startled when she saw Hao Ren's appearance: "Ah! Landlord, you just let her hang out all night like this?"

"It's okay if you don't hang on." Hao Ren raised his arm, "It was better before feeding her yesterday, why did she become more and more clingy after that? She doesn't even want to go to the water basin."

The little mermaid was actually not so clingy when it first hatched. Hao Ren still remembered that he could easily transfer the little mermaid to the water basin, and the latter would jump out of the water and wander around like an explorer. , but as time went by, Doudou's clinginess increased abnormally, and now hanging on his arm all night has obviously reached a certain extreme. Now she refuses to go into the water basin, refuses to move by herself, and even refuses to let go - obviously yesterday when Hao Ren went to the house to bring her something to eat, the little guy could still stay by himself for a while.

Nangong Wuyue also felt that something was wrong with Doudou. She stepped forward and carefully put her finger in front of the little guy's eyes, and the latter stared at the finger cleverly and turned his head around. The tail flapped merrily too, but otherwise she wouldn't let go. I didn't immediately jump over it curiously when I saw something novel like yesterday.

"Very energetic, there should be no problem physically." Nangong Wuyue gently touched the smooth scales of the little mermaid, "It should be a psychological condition... She seems to be confused by the surrounding environment, so she finds the things she is most familiar with and hugs her all the time." caught."

"Confused?" Hao Ren was a little surprised, "Confused about what?"

"First, the environment here is not the bottom of the sea after all, the little guy must feel a little weird around him," Nangong Wuyue analyzed. "According to the rapid growth of this child after hatching, the cub of this mermaid race has a very high intelligence, and can judge the surrounding situation after birth. She probably gradually discovered that this place is not suitable for living... and it cannot be said that it is not suitable for living. , it should not match the environmental characteristics recorded in her genetic memory. The second and most important point: she can't communicate with us. As I said just now, Doudou is quite smart, and she has a very high IQ when she just hatched, I guess Cubs of this species are supposed to be able to communicate with other adults to some degree from birth, but we can't even understand her grunts. She doesn't know what we're doing."

"So she's afraid?" Hao Ren said while guiding Doudou into a comfortable position to lie in his arms. After all, the little guy must be quite tired hanging there all the time. From Doudou's performance, I can't tell that this guy has any fears: she is still full of curiosity and excitement about her surroundings, and she makes a "snoring" sound when she lies down. It seems to be expressing satisfaction.

"Think about what it was like when you were brought to the zoo by your mother for the first time when you were a child. Did you also hide in your mother's arms at that time," Nangong Wuyue said with her hands on her hips. "The most important thing now is to find a way to understand what this little guy is thinking. It is too difficult to bring up children of different races."…

Hao Ren nodded quickly. The language difference is the biggest difficulty facing these half-hearted guardians: if you can communicate with the little mermaid, then everything is not a problem, as long as you let the little guy solve the confusion, she should not be so clingy. But the problem is that the little guy can't talk at all - a day-old cub. how do you communicate

At this time, Lily suddenly said next to her: "Why don't you discuss it with Raven?"

Hao Ren was stunned for two seconds, wishing he could slam his head on the tofu: He didn't expect such a simple thing to be reminded by a husky!

Lily spread her hands: "I'm just two, I'm not stupid..."

"Terminal, connect to Raven 12345." Hao Ren yelled at himself, and the data terminal immediately floated out of it and started dialing. Doudou immediately became happy when he saw this strange glowing thing, and patted his tail to ask Hao Ren to catch the terminal. She tasted salty, but was ignored.

"Hao Ren? What's the matter?" Raven 12345's voice sounded a little anxious, as if he was busy, "What's wrong with that egg?"

"It's hatched!"

"Huh?!" Raven 12345 exclaimed, and then Hao Ren heard an explosion and a strange howling air in the background. He was shocked: "What are you doing over there?"

"It's okay, I'm dueling with someone, tell me what you want," Raven 12345 said quickly, "It hatched so soon?"

Hao Ren knew that Raven 12345's daily life cannot be judged by common sense, so he didn't ask what the duel was about, but took the time to introduce the situation of the little mermaid, and finally mentioned that he couldn't communicate and he was misunderstood by the baby mermaid. Think about Mom's problem: "The biggest difficulty now is that none of us can understand what this little thing is saying—she can't understand us either. The little guy doesn't seem to realize that this is where she will live in the future. Now Hanging on me and refusing to get off."

Raven 12345 paused for a moment: "Um, it can really be cooked... But communication is a bit difficult for a newborn cub, but according to what you said, the intelligence of the little guy It should be enough, as long as she can understand your words... Nangong Wuyue, you should be able to do it."

"Me?" The siren girl looked astonished, "I don't understand, and how many times have I said that I am a siren, not a mermaid!"

"It's nothing to do with mermaids, it's your innate ability to communicate with deep-sea races. Sea-monsters can communicate with any deep-sea creatures, even deep-sea creatures from other worlds, but this is the creation of another god system a long time ago. The lazy program I downloaded was to test the new creature template. It seems that this plugin has been automatically canceled after you have evolved for so many years. I will try to activate it for you and it may still work.”

Raven 12345 spoke so easily and naturally about the God of Creator's passive sabotage, which made Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue break out in cold sweat. The latter asked with a strange expression, "Then what should I do?"

"Go out and find an open place. This Goddess will give you thousands of miles... um, to teach you exercises remotely. By the way, remove electronic products such as mobile phones, as there may be interference."

Nangong Wuyue was at a loss, but thought that the other party was a "goddess sister", at least she should be trustworthy in terms of strength, so she didn't think much, took out her phone and threw it on the sofa before going out.

Hao Ren thought for a while and thought that the raven might be tricking someone again, but before he had time to call the siren girl back, he heard a "crack" sound outside the door.

Nangong Wuyue pushed the door in with her explosive head on her head: "... I will never trust her again from now on."

The voice of Raven 12345 was still yelling at the side: "The method is a bit drastic but the effect is good! It has been activated successfully, you try the method I said... I am very busy here and hang up first."

Nangong Wuyue went to the water room to wash her face, and when she came back, she asked Hao Ren to sit on the sofa. She carefully placed her finger on Doudou's forehead: "Let me try it, don't get your hopes up."…

Vivienne and Yizaks, who had heard the news earlier, and Lily, who had been watching the fun, all gathered together. A group of people stared wide-eyed at the results of Nangong Wuyue's acceptance of "Thousands of Miles". Hao Ren I felt cold sweat dripping down my neck from nervousness—later when I looked up, it turned out that Lily was standing behind him drinking water again.

The exchange between the big fish and the little fish lasted for more than ten seconds. Doudou suddenly looked at Nangong Wuyue in amazement, and the latter breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh... it seems to be successful."

Hao Ren heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately urged Nangong Wuyue: "Hurry up and let this little guy understand the situation here—the most important thing is to let her understand that I'm not her mother!"

"Come on, let me talk to her slowly." Nangong Wuyue nodded, and carefully carried Doudou out of Hao Ren's arms. Strange to say, after a certain kind of wonderful connection was established, this little mermaid seemed to be interested in her. Nangong Wuyue also developed a high degree of trust, and she actually let go of Hao Ren's clothes. Although she turned her head and screamed a few times before being picked up, she didn't sound panicked anymore, as if she was just saying goodbye.

Nangong Wuyue carried the little mermaid to her room to communicate. It is estimated that the latter will be more sensible when she comes out. Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. The first thing he did was to go back to the house and change into clean clothes: this was the same clothes he wore when he went to an alien planet, and he didn't have a chance to change them out yesterday!

After he came out, he found that Nangong Wuyue was already waiting in the living room with the little guy in his arms. Hao Ren was a little surprised: "So fast?"

"Similar to spiritual communication, the speed is very fast, and she is also very smart." Nangong Wuyue's expression was a little strange, "Basically, I have explained the situation clearly... The little guy will gradually adapt to this place."

Hao Ren was quite happy: "Then she knows now that I'm not her mother? A lot of words."

"About this... there is bad news and good news," Nangong Wuyue said with a dry smile, "Which one do you listen to first?"

Hao Ren's expression froze on the spot. He felt that the situation might be a mess: "... let's talk about it first."

"Doudou really understands that you are not her mother." Nangong Wuyue handed the little mermaid into Hao Ren's arms. "She thinks you are her father. And to be honest—as a guardian, you are also right."

Hao Ren felt that the news was good or bad, but he nodded anyway: "Father is fine, at least it's not as embarrassing as being a mother, as long as she doesn't get too clingy in the future. What about the bad news?"

Nangong Wuyue reached out and took out a pot from behind: "This is the child's mother."

Hao Ren: "..."
