Lin Qiao placed a small round table carved from stone next to the nursery film. She tried a sense of ritual that she had never experienced before. She would pick a bouquet of fresh flowers and put them in a glass vase every day. Sometimes she would also Move the TV over there and watch movies with the children. Facts have proven that their perception of the outside world is very obvious.
The same is true today.
Lin Qiao picked five tulips that were in full bloom, and there were water droplets on them from the morning rain exuding a faint fragrance.
She simply shaped the petals and put them in the vase, then raised her head to look at the child. Looking over and over, the more she looked, the more she felt that something was not right.
They have indeed grown a lot in the past month, but today's size is like a "sea baby" that suddenly swelled with water. It doubled in size overnight and grew an extra tadpole-like transparent tail.
Lin Qiao thought that the remaining children were not fully developed yet and were squeezed into the corner. She reached out and turned over the balls through the thin and extremely tough membrane. However, after turning over and over, she counted ten. In the end, there were only five children left.
The quantity is directly halved! !
She was frightened in her heart and cried out in panic, "Chu Ji! Chu Ji! I can't raise the child!"
Chu Ji Tentacles, who rushed over after hearing the sound, still had several bags of fertilizer rolled up in their hands. He comforted Lin Qiao before walking over to check the transparent eggs.
Lin Qiao bit her nails so nervously, "I checked and there is no damage to this film."
Chu Ji checked and retracted his hand, then turned around and said, "It's okay, my dear, cannibalism is normal. They just eat their less healthy brothers and sisters to ensure their own strong growth."
Lin Qiao was immediately shocked, "You call this okay?"
No matter how strong her psychological quality is, she has watched those ten cubs grow up every day. Sometimes they can squeeze on the wall and touch her hands to interact with her. They are connected by blood and have been together for a long time. Out.
Lin Qiao suddenly felt sad when she heard that five treasures had been eaten.
Chu Ji saw that her expression turned very bad, and immediately went over to pick her up and put her in his arms, explaining in a low voice, "This is a normal rule for us. The birth of fragile children will only become nutrition for the enemy. It is the best to choose the best among them." Nature engraved in the blood, if you really don’t like it”
He paused and gave the only compromise plan, "Then let's have five more, or do you want more?"
Lin Qiao was choked by his words and didn't know what to say. Seeing that there were only five fat children left in the membrane, she finally sighed softly.
Indeed, this is their racial nature, and even if they don't like it, they can't interfere.
"No more." Lin Qiao raised her hand to touch the membrane, with a look of pain on her face, "Just don't eat your brothers and sisters anymore, I will feel bad."
Chu Ji immediately assured her: "No more."
He gently caressed her lover's back, trying to dissipate the faint sadness on her body, but even though He comforted her every day, Lin Qiao was depressed for half a month, and she had to stick the child care film to the edge of the throne to ensure that she got up or went to bed every day I can observe their condition at first glance, and see that the children have continued to grow without losing weight, which makes me feel much better.
At the end of the second month, each child has grown 7 extra legs, and gradually develops like Chuji. The legs have a faint pink gradient color, and the nursery membrane is forced to expand due to their huge size. After doubling the amount, the film looked already very thin.
Chu Ji had already told Lin Qiao that the membrane was very strong, but she still didn't feel reassured, so Chu Ji found an old mattress and spread it underneath, and told her that she wouldn't be hurt if it accidentally fell out. It was a useless comfort, but Lin Qiao liked this trick very much.
Of course, they also had a new concern.
Lin Qiao said: "I'm going to give birth in one month, right? We need to buy clothes and supplies for the children. We are going to go to the deserted area again, and by the way, we will bring some seafood from our sea area to Ji Qiu."
She used a fishing rod to hoist a basket of seafood, added seawater to it and sealed it. The children had Chu Ji's body watching over them and providing them with nutrients. She and Chu Ji sailed away with confidence.
However, she didn't want to stay in the desert for too long during this trip. She had to go home to see her children for at most a week.
The desolation was the same as it was six months ago. Lin Qiao still stayed on the same beach, and the gang patrol officers came up to ask for money as usual.
She exchanged some gold jewelry from the seabed for the entry fee, and looked up at the leaden sky. It was drizzling today, and there were a few dark clouds covering half of the desolate sky.
"It looks like it's going to rain heavily." Lin Qiao said.
The two of them entered the deserted city. The buildings inside were stacked and messy. People were coming and going. When they saw the extra new faces, they couldn't help but cast a few more pairs of eyes.
Chu Ji followed Lin Qiao with a box of aquatic products in his hands. They first went to the tailor shop to find Ji Qiu. The people inside heard her purpose and said, "Ji Qiu has not been in good health in the past few days and has not come to work. Zhou Qi While on guard duty with the gang, I had a conflict with people on other territory and was..."
"My legs were broken."
The man sighed, "Both of them are currently recuperating at home. Not long ago, their home was robbed in revenge, and now they can't even buy medicine."
Lin Qiao frowned, knowing that in a chaotic place like a deserted area, it was reasonable for people to fight and die, but she still kindly went to the drugstore, spent a lot of money to buy the medicine, and took it to Ji Qiu's small shop. courtyard.
The smart machine at the door recognized the two people, and Zhou Qiao's voice came from inside, "Lin Qiao? Come in quickly."
Zhou Qi was still the same as before, with a cast on his leg, smiling at them in a wheelchair, with surprise in his eyes, "You're back so soon?"
Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in the sky above his head, and thunder rolled in.
Zhou Qi glanced above his head and said, "Come in quickly, it's going to rain."
The two walked into the house. Probably because Ji Qiu was ill, the house was a little messy. Zhou Qi bent down to put away the snack bags on the sofa and said, "My legs are not very convenient right now, don't mind."
Lin Qiao put the medicine bag on his lap, "I bought it on the way."
Zhou Qi was stunned, "For me?"
Lin Qiao nodded, "Yes."
He lowered his eyes and looked at the bag. There was a struggle in his eyes. After just a moment, they were covered by another kind of numbness, and then returned to normal.
"Thanks."
Lin Qiao looked around, "Where's Aunt Ji?"
Zhou Qi: "She should be awake in the room. You can go and have a look."
Lin Qiao nodded and looked back at Chu Ji, who was holding the water tank the whole time. "You put the fish in the kitchen first, open them and see if there are any dead ones. If there are any, take them out and throw them away."
Chu Ji nodded meekly, "I'll cook tonight."
