The staring lasted for what seemed like several minutes, or maybe a few seconds. In any case, the time passed so quickly that little Jian Ning, who was lying on the ground, had no time to pay attention.
He looked at the bearded man in front of him and swallowed nervously.
The big man was also looking at him at the same time, with an ambiguous emotion in his eyes. Just as the big and the small were still playing the staring game, a few more people came up from behind.
Among the people walking over, most of the men had beards, while the women wore short skirts and long boots with weapons on their boots, looking sexy and charming.
"Boss, what are you doing here?"
A green-haired, bearded man with a slightly thinner figure came over from behind. When he saw the curly-haired cub on the ground, he asked in surprise, "Where did the child come from? Aren't children not allowed on this kind of commercial transport ship?"
"have no idea."
"Well, it's probably one of the crew members' children who brought it here without permission."
Commercial transport ships have to go through layers of inspection during the transportation process. Due to the unstable world, crew members working on extremely dangerous commercial transport ships have to undergo strict screening.
Raising a child here sounds like a lot of work.
Green Hair squatted down and stared at Jane Ning with great interest.
Jian Ning's gaze also moved from the bearded face to the green-haired face. The thick beards covered half of their faces, but looking at their deep eyes, straight noses, and sharp facial features, it can be seen that they are good-looking.
Compared to the previous group of bad guys, this group of bad guys doesn’t seem to be that bad judging by their appearance.
Although Jian Ning was ready to be reborn, he wanted to try his best to survive before he lost his life.
"ah!"
Hello!
Jian Ning, who was still speechless, supported himself on the floor with his chubby little hands and changed from lying to sitting. After he sat up, he first made a friendly sound.
When he realized that the bearded men couldn't understand what he was saying, he didn't get discouraged, but changed his strategy.
Along with him, his milk bottle was also thrown away. It rolled in a corner not far from him. This bottle with half a bottle of milk left was the only property Jane Ning had left besides the redstone necklace and shorts!
He crawled over and picked up the bottle. Since it was not convenient for him to continue crawling while holding the bottle, he used his chubby little hands to move the bottle, then moved it all the way to Green Hair's front and picked it up again.
"ah!"
Here you go, protection money.
Jane Ning, who had a lot of experience in survival in her previous life, knew how to deal with robbery. The best way was to call the police, the second best was to spend money to avoid disaster, to stabilize the robbers and prevent them from causing physical harm to her, and the worst was to knock the robbers down.
In this situation, Jian Ning couldn't call the police, nor could he beat the bad guys down with his short arms and legs. He was flexible and chose to hand over the last bit of his property.
Green Hair was stunned when he looked at the bottle of milk that was handed to him and the cub who handed him the bottle.
Not only was he stunned, but even Zhan Rao beside him raised his eyebrows.
The two men stared at the curly-haired cub holding the bottle of milk. The cub tilted its white and tender round face up, with a pair of big black eyes that were watery. It was obviously afraid of them, but it had the courage to approach them.
Very strange.
They had never seen such a cub before.
Jian Ning was holding the bottle, his fat arms like lotus roots were sore, but the bottle had not been taken away from him yet.
"That won't do."
He was thinking in his mind, and his brain was working rapidly. He didn't know if it was working too fast, but he felt a little dizzy.
After a moment, he ignored the discomfort in his head and put on a serious face.
"ah!"
Open your mouth!
He urged Green Hair to take the bottle again. Before his arms ran out of strength, he gathered up his last bit of strength and put the bottle directly in front of Green Hair's mouth.
Green-haired man's mouth was not closed tightly, so he was really pushed into it by him.
Jian Ning: “!”
Jane Ning's eyes suddenly lit up.
Drink this bottle of milk and let this cub go!
All of Jian Ning's thoughts were written on his face. After putting the bottle into Green Hair's mouth, he no longer had the strength to lean forward.
Green Hair bit the bottle, the astonishment in his eyes only stayed for a second before being replaced by complexity.
He looked at the cub sitting on the floor exhausted. The cub's body was shaking, and the soft flesh on his cheeks bulged slightly with his breathing, like a soft white bun just out of the steamed bun.
"Are you... trying to please me?"
Green Hair took the bottle in his hand, and his naturally smiling eyes no longer smiled. He asked the cub questions, and when he asked the questions, he even felt like he was going crazy.
The cub in front of him was so small that it could only crawl and make ahhhh sounds. How could it possibly understand what he was asking
But to his surprise, the cub actually nodded after hesitating for a moment.
The cub's nod made Green Hair's heart skip a beat. He poked Zhan Rao's waist fiercely and communicated with him with his eyes: "Boss, did you see that? This cub can understand us!"
Zhan Rao has been observing this cub until now, and he also feels that this cub is a little different from the others.
The two have been together for many years and have a tacit understanding. With just a glance, they have reached a tacit consensus.
Take this cub back to the den and study it carefully.
They exchanged glances, and Jane Ning just stared blankly, not understanding.
Zhan Rao was a man of few words, and he was not the type to tease the cubs. Not only did he not like to tease them, he was even a little annoyed by them. The cubs loved to cry and were difficult to raise, so he had no intention of raising them in his lifetime.
Even if the cub in front of him was taken back, he would send it away as soon as the research was completed.
Zhan Rao didn't like dealing with cubs, so after handing the cub to Zhan Xi, he stood up, called the few people who were watching the fun from behind, and asked calmly: "Have you done what I just told you to do?"
Before landing on the transport ship, Zhan Rao had already assigned them tasks.
Seeing Zhan Rao asking questions, the few people who wanted to watch the cubs suddenly straightened their backs and went to do their own things. They came to check the transport ship, and the other three were going to chase the poisonous spider organization that had just escaped.
When it comes to personal robbery, they prefer to kill their competitors and then take over all their assets.
There are rumors that this commercial ship, codenamed B33, is transporting a rare treasure of the universe. The leader of the Poison Spider Organization is famous for his greed, so Zhan Rao is not surprised at all that he is here to do this.
Not long.
A beautiful woman hooked a photon gun on her index finger. As she turned it, she came over to report to Zhan Rao: "Boss, we checked everything and didn't find anything valuable."
The legendary cosmic treasure was probably taken away by the poisonous spider.
As the woman spoke, she also reported another piece of news: "I saw the cub's clothes next to the trash can. It looked like they were ripped off forcefully. Several buttons were even broken."
As the woman finished speaking, Zhan Xi, who had just picked up the cub, looked over.
He only looked at it for a few seconds and then looked away.
Zhan Rao, who was talking to the woman, didn't pay attention to the topic about the cub's clothes. He knew the reason why the poisonous spider stripped the cub clean: it was checking whether there were any treasures hidden on the cub.
Zhan Rao was still mumbling something.
Zhan Xi stopped listening to them and continued to bully the cub who could understand: "Did you hear my self-introduction clearly?"
"I'm from the Star Pirates. The guy over there is our boss. Our main job is robbery, and our side job is eating children. You have to be obedient, or I can eat two of your tender skinned little brats in one meal."
If it were a real cub, it would probably be scared to tears if it were this cruel.
Little Jian Ning's chubby face showed a "shock" for a moment, but in his heart he was thinking very coldly -
He is not a cub, so he won't be scared.
Zhan Xi threatened the baby, but he held it firmly in his arms. Not only that, he also went to the trash can the woman mentioned and picked up two tattered little clothes.
"Come on, stretch your arms and put on your clothes. I love to eat cubs who don't dress properly."
Zhan Xi took the small clothes and wanted to put them on Jian Ning.
Seeing this, Jian Ning hurriedly stretched out her arms for him to put on, but the clumsy Zhan Xi just couldn't put on the simple clothes properly, and either broke his arms or strangled his neck.
When Jian Ning vomited milk twice due to being strangled and the cub was dying, the woman who was talking to Zhan Rao finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She snatched the pitiful cub from her arms and put clothes on it gently and skillfully.
"You're so stupid that you can't even put on your clothes properly."
The woman complained, not wanting to hand the cub in her arms to him. The soft and warm touch of the cub in her arms made her a little addicted to holding it.
Zhan Xi: “…”
Zhan Xi wanted to refute but lacked evidence, so he could only pull a straight face, with his smiling eyes filled with dissatisfaction and unhappiness.
It was the first time he was dressing the cub, how could he know how to do it
There was no one alive on the transport ship except for a little cub. The only little cub was taken away by Zhan Xi again and transferred to a new spaceship.
On the new spaceship, perhaps because of flying sickness, Jane Ning always felt dizzy and her eyelids were twitching.
He sat on Zhan Xi's lap, leaning against Zhan Xi's chest, listening to Zhan Xi whispering in his ear: "You can understand what we say, which means you are a precocious kid. Let me test you, what is 1 1 equal to?"
Jian Ning: “?”
Jian Ning frowned and uttered "ah" twice.
Zhan Xi thought for a moment and realized that two yeahs meant 2. His face was full of surprise, and he asked, "What about 1 2?"
Jian Ning uttered “Ah” three times.
Zhan Xi became even more excited, and as he asked, his numbers got bigger and bigger: "What about 2 8?"
2 8. Say “ah” ten times.
Jane Ning hung her face and refused to do it.
From the time he opened his eyes until now, he hasn't had any milk powder, let alone water. Now he keeps asking me to talk, and his throat is about to hurt!
But he had to tell her, because the space pirate holding him was urging him to tell him the answer.
Jane Ning, who didn't want to speak, simply raised both of her chubby hands. Adding up her two hands, there were exactly 10 fingers.
Zhan Xi: “!”
Seeing that he could still answer, Zhan Xi looked up at Zhan Rao, wanting him to come and see too.
But when he looked up, he found that it was not only Zhan Rao, but other people had gathered around him without knowing when. Everyone was looking at this kid who could only do math in shock.
The woman who had just dressed Jian Ning had a trembling voice: "Boss, this cub we picked up must be the legendary genius cub!!!"
"I heard that this kind of genius cub is very rare, and there are only a few in a hundred years. If this kind of cub is sent to school, he will definitely be admitted to university and become an educated person. Who knows, maybe he can even develop in a big city."
Pirates generally do not have household registration, so they cannot go to university or live in big cities.
This once-in-a-century genius cub made them feel both curious and excited. They themselves did not have much culture, but they envied cultured people in their hearts.
Jian Ning was asked even more questions. This time, besides Zhan Xi, there were also other unfamiliar uncles and older sisters asking him questions.
These people were much more careful than Zhan Xi. At least they knew to give him water and a nutritional paste that tasted strange but seemed like a meal.
"Alright, alright, stop it. I think he can't open his eyes. He probably wants to sleep. Cubs sleep a lot. Let's not disturb him."
Hua Ya cleared her throat and asked the people who were surrounding her to disperse.
The crowd, who were not very interested in the cubs, were quite reluctant when Hua Ya drove them away. They had not yet had enough fun interacting with the cubs.
Zhan Rao didn't show any reluctance, but before turning around and leaving, he casually threw a piece of candy to Jian Ning.
Jian Ning tried hard to stay awake and had been working until now, yawning from exhaustion.
He felt that his head was getting even more dizzy.
Zhan Xi was relieved when he saw the people around him disperse. He poked the little face of the cub in his arms and whispered, "I didn't expect you to be a little genius. Come on, go to sleep first, or you'll become a little fool if you become sleepy."
Upon hearing this, Jian Ning closed her eyes listlessly.
After a few seconds, Zhan Xi heard the cub's even breathing. He held the sleeping cub in one hand and connected to the Star Network with the other hand, seizing the opportunity to secretly watch various cub-raising videos on the Star Network.
While watching the cub-raising videos, Zhan Xi accidentally swiped to the video of the little prince of the empire. The little prince of the empire had just turned three years old, and the royal family occasionally released some of his videos.
In these released videos, the little prince always has a cold face and a bad temper.
It stands to reason that such a baby would not be likable, but the imperial royal family has excellent genes, and the little prince born, even if he has a sour face, is so handsome that people can't take their eyes off him.
A group of beauty lovers and royal supporters, blinded by love, said that the little prince's bad temper was his true nature and his cold face was tsundere.
Looking at the comments under the little prince's video, Zhan Xi snorted disdainfully: "Such a bad-tempered kid, only a blind eye would think he is cute."
Although they are both cubs, the one sleeping in his arms is obviously cuter and more obedient.
Zhan Xi was still watching the video, and the people who had just chased the poisonous spiders came back. The three people frowned and said to Zhan Rao who was sitting on the sofa in the corner: "Boss, the leader of the poisonous spiders ran away. We arrested his men, and they said they didn't find the treasure."
"I suspect that the baby was taken away by the poisonous spider leader..."
Zhan Rao and the others were talking about the rumored rare treasure and discussing its whereabouts. Zhan Xi was watching a cub raising video, while the others were quietly chatting about the genius cub.
The atmosphere on the spacecraft seemed very harmonious for a moment.
In this harmonious atmosphere, Jian Ning's chubby hands clenched Zhan Xi's fingers, and the eyebrows on his chubby face suddenly frowned tightly.
A few minutes later.
Zhan Xi felt that his fingers were a little hot. He looked down in confusion and found the cub with his eyes closed and a red face, obviously having a fever.
