Chapter 292 Black Fish Protects Its Cub
A fiery red fox was nestling in He Qianqian's arms. Her graceful figure seemed to be in a lotus bush.
The little female's voice was light and crisp. She sometimes looked into the distance, and sometimes lowered her head to kiss the little fox's ears.
Ming Gong Yao stuck his head out and saw this scene.
With such a brilliant smile, it seems Qianqian really likes Hu Ling.
From Ming Gong Yao's perspective, when a male looks at another male, he certainly thinks Hu Ling is good, but he is still a little inferior to himself.
He suggested to himself with this belief: It doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good.
"Are you tired of it already?" Ming Gong Yao jumped out of the water and glanced at the little fox sourly.
Just because they have fur, they think they are great. They always show off their fur, try to seduce females, and use their coquettish ways to win their favor.
Seeing that Hu Ling was still unwilling to move, he reminded her:
"Qianqian is pregnant, why don't you come down?"
Fox Ling, who had been confused as if he was walking on a cotton cloud, immediately jumped to the ground, regained his human form, and lowered his head in embarrassment.
With an empty arms, He Qianqian still felt a little uncomfortable.
She looked at Ming Gong Yao: "A Yao, how is it underwater?"
Ming Gong Yao puffed out her chest and said proudly:
"How can it be bad underwater? I, Ming Gongyao, can't even handle such a thing underwater, how can I be Qianqian's male?"
He Qianqian: ...
Seeing his wandering eyes and awkward expression, He Qianqian smiled secretly and teased:
"I'm just asking casually, but your fish tail is about to stick up to the sky."
Ming Gong Yao took two steps and held her hand:
"Qianqian, let me take you to have a look underwater. Compared to our last visit, there have been many gratifying changes."
"I'm pregnant. Can I go into the water? I'm afraid I'll frighten the baby."
With a sneer, Ming Gong Yao became arrogant again: "No matter whose baby is startled, it won't startle this mermaid's baby.
Honey, the little mermaid baby you are carrying loves water. In the later stages of pregnancy, soak in water more often, and both you and the baby will feel very comfortable. "
He Qianqian gently stroked her belly, which was already bulging. Since the little fish likes water, she would go in and play in the water often.
"Okay, I just need to check out the water ecology around the Migu Tree."
Ming Gong Yao wrapped He Qianqian in a mermaid bubble and went into the water. Hu Ling followed with the water-repellent beads.
At the bottom of the water, there are already various aquatic plants, various microorganisms, and traces of small shrimps and fish, presenting a vibrant picture.
He Qianqian continued to tell them about the ecological symbiosis between the Migu Tree and Fanyin Lake:
“The roots of the Mysterious Valley Tree are spread all over the ridge of the sacred mountain and extend to the Fanyin Lake, helping the lake to stabilize the soil and regulating the hydrological cycle of the lake.
At the same time, the water from Fanyin Lake provides moisture, nutrients and humidity support to the sacred tree in Migu Valley.
The harmonious development of the two also provides a better ecological environment for the surrounding flora and fauna.”
"Qianqian, the sacred trees in the Mi Valley are lush and green, and the Fanyin Lake is recovering faster. Dense fish eggs can be seen everywhere among the water plants.
But I didn’t see any cichlid roe.”
Ming Gongyao took her to a place on the shore where there were lush aquatic plants.
Everywhere you look, you can see bubble-like clusters of fish eggs stuck in the water plants.
Look more closely, there is a small black dot in each transparent bubble, which is the eye of the growing fish egg.
"Ayao, is our little mermaid also in the fish bubble?"
"Yes, there are also soft fish bubbles in Qianqian's belly.
In each bubble, a small fish egg is being nurtured. They swim inside and gradually grow up, and will develop human eyes, noses, mouths, and hair. "
Speaking of this, Ming Gong Yao's silver eyes flashed with anticipation.
He couldn't help but stroke the female's belly with his big hand:
"It's difficult for mermaids to conceive, so they usually only have one baby. But from the sounds I heard, there will be several. Alas, I'm not sure."
Hu Ling on the side narrowed his eyes:
"How big is it? Do you want me to tell you how many there are?"
"Just shut up. I'll get angry with anyone who tells me that."
Ming Gong Yao pretended to be deaf and dumb, deliberately refusing to listen to the heartbeat in his stomach, and also not allowing others to tell him.
I deeply understand the feelings of the first few husbands at that time, that is, as a novice father, all of them would feel nervous when approaching home.
Hu Ling shrugged: This is a secret that all males know, but it cannot be told.
He Qianqian deliberately didn't want to know, and she even gave Hu Ling a warning look.
Hu Ling received the glances from his beloved female, and his heart warmed. He swam over boldly, kissed her cheek, and said with a smile:
"Qianqian will give birth to the little mermaid safely, we are all looking forward to it."
"You know what's going on!"
Suddenly, Ming Gongyao made a "hush" sound, pointed ahead and whispered:
"Look, it's a big fish protecting its eggs."
Not far ahead, I saw two one-meter-long black fish swimming slowly around a large group of black little fish.
Suddenly a fish rushed over and tried to devour the fish ball. The black fish was extremely ferocious and bit the fish fiercely. It bit off the fish body in a few bites, and the water was filled with blood.
The three of them wisely avoided this place and stopped disturbing the Black Fish couple.
After swimming for most of a circle underwater, He Qianqian did not feel any discomfort. Instead, she felt lighter and the pressure on her legs and lumbar spine was relieved.
Going ashore, they came to the foot of the Migu Tree. He Qianqian used her special powers to nourish the roots of the Migu Tree and continued to do routine maintenance.
At this time, there was a howling sound in the sky, and Qingyu came to meet them, carrying Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhong on his back.
After landing, Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhong carefully placed the large sack on the grass and opened their pockets.
55 little cubs, like the Calabash Brothers, crawled out of the sack one by one and rushed towards He Qianqian together.
"Mother, mother..."
55 little mouths called out together, and 55 furry or naked figures pounced on her.
Every time this happened, He Qianqian, the old mother, would have her head buzzing with surprise and joy.
Pain and happiness.
The good news is that the cubs are lively and healthy, but the scary thing is of course that they have a headache because of all the noise.
The adults decided to have dinner here.
I guess Li Yan and the other three should be out by now, so it's a good time to pick them up and have dinner.
This good news made the phoenix perched above his head jump with joy.
At this moment, he was squatting on a branch.
Next to him was a recently dead mountain goat, staring at him with its dead eyes.
He had been hesitating for a long time about eating the mountain goat, but he still couldn't bring himself to eat it. He was struggling with the idea that he would not have the energy to hunt if he didn't eat it.
With a few small steps, Phoenix picked up the mountain goat and slowly landed on the ground.
"Little female, um, I have something to ask you!"
"what happened?"
"Can I use this prey to exchange for a little food? Just a little bit will do."
He Qianqian glanced at the fat big male blue sheep, her eyes moved slightly:
"Okay, we'll have roasted whole lamb tonight."
"Ah? One is definitely not enough. Little female, shall I go catch a few more sheep beasts?" Without giving He Qianqian a chance to refuse, the phoenix disappeared in a flash.
Xiao Bo glanced at the blue sheep:
"Qianqian, he must have gone to our territory to catch sheep beasts. Is this what Qianqian taught us: offering gifts to Buddha with flowers?"
"Yes, these four words are very appropriate here. Uncle Xiao, you are always the best and most serious learner of characters."
Xiao Bo was praised and hooked her finger:
"I don't know why. I remember everything Qianqian said very clearly and I never forget it."
He Qianqian smiled knowingly.
Of course she knew why. Because Xiao Bo loved her, and he always remembered his lover's words most clearly, even for a long time, and would often revisit the memories over and over again.
"Let's have roasted whole lamb tonight. Roast five lambs on a campfire, stew beef bones in three big pots, grill them on a teppanyaki plate, and make fried or skewered pork meat. And a cold vegetarian dish will be fine."
"Okay, that should be enough. If you can't finish it, save it for the next meal."
Several beastmen agreed and divided the work to prepare food.
