Chapter 244 A Cub
[After the previous chapter was reviewed, it was revised again. You may want to take another look at it to see the complete version. :)]
It's another early morning.
He Qianqian and Qingyu woke up together, hugging each other.
Listening to the chirping of baby birds outside the window, the couple smiled at each other and quickly got out of bed.
The wooden door creaked and He Qianqian stepped out.
All I saw in front of me was a large, densely packed furry area with some small snake heads and some black and white spots mixed in between.
She was in a daze and couldn't believe that all 55 cubs were hers.
No, the black and white flower inside is not my own.
"Mom, wake up!"
"Mom is awake!"
The cubs flew, crawled, and jumped toward her.
The 11 baby birds also followed the flow, flapping their tender wings, grabbing the ground with their claws, and staggering towards her.
The older cubs deliberately gave way to their younger brothers and sisters so that the young birds could get closer to their mother first.
He Qianqian smiled as she stared intently at the nest of chicks that were flocking to her and were particularly affectionate towards her.
They were not at all shy, as if they had known for a long time that she was a female.
Just as Qingyu Qingche expected, how could the baby bird not know who its mother was?
Birds do have instinctive atavism and imprinting phenomena.
But as orc cubs, they also have the instincts of orc cubs. At the beginning of the "beast", they will lock the mother beast tightly to ensure that they will not be lost or ignored.
The baby birds snuggled up to her feet, flapping their wings and trying to jump onto her, trying to attract her attention and get close to her.
But because it was too small, only the size of a half-grown chick, it squeaked anxiously at my feet.
He Qianqian bent down and stretched out her arms towards them.
The 11 baby birds scrambled to jump onto her arms and stood in two rows.
They opened their big owl eyes, stretched their necks, and stared at her face greedily, vowing to remember the appearance of the female beast and her every frown and smile.
It continued flapping its wings, trying to get closer.
He Qianqian felt her forehead sink as two baby birds jumped onto her head. In the blink of an eye, two more baby birds stood on each of her shoulders.
The 11 baby birds each found a satisfactory position and used their hooked beaks to peck at her face, hair, nose, ears and mouth, and even used their furry heads to nudge her neck.
Be intimate with her.
The furry touch and the gentle itchy touch of the bird's beak made He Qianqian feel great. Her eyebrows were curved and she smiled happily.
"Be good, you are all so cute."
He Qianqian looked at them one by one, memorizing the characteristics of each chick so that she could distinguish them accurately.
Behind her, a tall and handsome figure walked out.
Qingyu's cool and handsome face with clear edges and corners, bathed in the morning light, is particularly handsome and extraordinary.
After being revived with full health, he curled his lips into a smile, glanced at his family and friends around him, and greeted them with his eyes.
Then he watched the interaction between the female and the group of cubs with burning eyes.
He was not jealous at all, but he was also very harsh:
"Children, are you selectively blind? You only saw your mother, but not your Snowy Owl father."
"Snowy Owl Daddy!"
The cubs greeted him in a comforting manner, but they still hung on to the mother beast and didn't even think about jumping on him.
Qingyu bent down and picked up the tiger and the leopard, kissed them twice with his hard stubbled chin, and then complained:
"I only think of my daddy when I'm hungry, my fur is dirty, and I need to poop."
He Qianqian laughed heartily: "What else? As a father, what else do you want?"
She glanced at the 55 kids around her and said proudly:
"I gave birth to all of them, and you just hatched the eggs."
"Yes, the baby is born by mother." He Momo said crisply.
The cubs nodded one after another like chicks pecking at rice. They were proud to be their mother's cubs.
Qingyu shrugged and strode towards the stove.
Now that your body has recovered, you should do what you need to do.
Seeing Xiaoyu's energetic look, Qingche's eyes were filled with satisfaction.
The Snowy Owl family had to accumulate countless generations of good luck to have the male cub Xiaoyu, who was fortunate enough to find a good female like He Qianqian as his partner.
In just one night, Qingyu, who looked haggard yesterday, has turned into a man with a cheerful face, full of life, like a new bud sprouting from a dead tree.
It must be Qianqian who repaired her own male cub again.
I have to admire her ability.
At this time, He Qianqian was sitting on the wooden platform outside the wooden house.
Take out the cold fish strips and feed the chicks yourself.
In fact, the chicks had just eaten, but they didn't want to refuse the meat strips given by their mother.
On the contrary, I feel that the strip of meat fed by the mother beast's fragrant hand is the most delicious meat in the beast's life.
The older brothers and sisters around them did not compete with them for food, but watched their younger siblings eat the meat seriously.
Watching them eat makes me happier than eating myself.
He Qianqian fed them for a while and stopped when she found that they were not hungry.
Newly hatched bird chicks are much stronger than kittens, tiger cubs, or even giant panda cubs, and have greater self-care abilities.
Because they have their eyes open as soon as they hatch.
Kittens and tiger cubs need to drink milk and only open their eyes when they are almost one month old and slowly see the world around them.
The chicks do not need to be nursed, the parents simply tear up the meat and feed it to them.
So on the second day after hatching, the chicks were already running all over the ground.
The adults gathered together for breakfast and decided to break camp and go home.
"Children, come and ride the Snowy Owl kite."
Grandpa Snow Owl suddenly transformed into a 3-meter-tall snowy owl.
As soon as he finished speaking, the cubs were already climbing onto him.
Within a few breaths, the snowy owl's back was covered with cubs.
It was so crowded that half of the cubs were actually hanging on the edges of the wings.
Some of the cubs were even pushed to the ground, and then struggled to climb up again.
The 11 baby birds couldn't climb up because they were too slow.
They anxiously gathered around the big bird's feet, squeaking and screaming.
Xiaobin smiled and said:
"Children, it seems that one snowy owl is not enough to climb. Don't worry, there are still two."
Xiaobai glanced at Xiaobin, and the two brothers immediately understood.
Then, three big snowy owl kites appeared in front of the cubs.
They no longer have to squeeze and can climb whichever one they want.
In a moment, 44 cubs were evenly divided on the backs of the three birds.
Qingyu also put 11 little snowy owls on the back of the snowy owl.
"Let's go. Brother will take you to visit the forest. We can go home when we are tired." Xiao Bin took the lead and walked into the depths of the forest with the cub on his back.
"Okay! Come home when you're tired of playing."
Normally they were not allowed to cross the dividing river, but the more the adults forbade them, the more curious they became.
I have longed for the place beyond the river.
Finally I had the opportunity to ride a high snowy owl kite and wander in the spring forest.
They chattered all the way and were very happy.
Qingyu held He Qianqian's hand and followed them for a spring day trip.
Hu Ling, Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhong, who were standing by, looked at Zi Zi and then at He Qianqian, their eyes and hearts filled with envy.
The same thought flashed through the minds of the three people:
If I work harder, and work harder, and if I can get the approval of the females, I can join this beautiful big family;
Does this mean that these so many cute cubs will become their own cubs in the future?
At that time, why should they envy?
