Chapter 12 (12) The egg breaks the shell
Liu Ye blinked, opened the small kettle and took two sips.
After drinking the icy spiritual spring water, she slowly came to her senses.
Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. If others take your things, she will die of pain, and the same goes for the little squirrel.
After spitting on herself, she quickly gathered the hazelnuts that had fallen on the ground and put them into her basket.
My feet were numb from squatting, so I beat my calves and continued to collect other dried fruits.
Walking back to the manor in the setting sun, the tigress had already returned before her.
There were game animals piled in the yard, including a big wild boar and two pheasants.
"What a great guy, what a fruitful battle!"
The tigress was suckling her cubs and puppies, her majestic and solemn expression showed pride, and she looked arrogant and petite.
"These are for Tai Nai. Mom and I have already eaten them."
The little tiger cub squinted his eyes in enjoyment and did not forget to show his filial piety.
"Tiger Mom is awesome. Thank you for your hard work. This is enough for me to eat for several days. It's great~"
Liu Yi praised the White Tiger mother and her son so much that they looked like airplanes. How could they still be majestic?
It was getting late, and she was too lazy to mess around. She put the wild boar into the space, added some mud, and made a simple beggar's chicken for the pheasant.
The bones left behind after eating the meat are not wasted. The little tiger cub sniffed the smell and ran over to pick it up and eat it.
The little puppy was so naive that he also chewed the bones.
A guest room on the first floor was opened for White Tiger mother and son, the bedding was arranged, the curtains were drawn, and they were allowed to move in.
In this way, they can rest in the manor when they are tired, and also protect her safety.
The tiger is the king of the jungle and has great fighting power. With the tiger mother in charge, even those jackals, tigers and leopards dare not come to the door.
The little tiger cub has always coveted the big, soft bed, but he is very sensible and has never said so explicitly.
At this moment, it has its own big bed, and it is so beautiful that it rolls on it.
The tigress lay leisurely on the big bed, dozing off comfortably.
After settling the white tiger mother and her son, Liu Yi washed herself and was about to put the two puppies into the space when she heard a very light but clear cracking sound.
It’s the sound of eggshells breaking! ?
In order to ensure that the pink egg hatches healthily, Liu Yi turns it over from time to time and adds a few drops of spiritual spring water to moisten the eggshell.
I always look at the light to see if the embryo inside is developing normally.
Liu Ye carefully held the big pink balls out of the space and towards the crack. As soon as she stretched out her hand, she felt something cold touch her fingertips.
The hatching was really successful!
Overwhelming surprises came to my mind.
"Crack... click!" With a cracking sound, half of the eggshell was pecked out, and a naked little guy was huddled inside, breathing rapidly.
There were still dry mucus and bloodshot residues on its body.
"Why don't you move? If you move again, you will be completely out of the egg." Liu Yi stretched out her little hand and gently touched the smooth little thing through the hole in the eggshell.
She really wanted to help it, but she thought that when the chick broke out of its shell, it was the first test for herself, so she had to withdraw her heart from manual intervention.
Let it try to break out of its shell on its own first, and if it doesn't work, let's talk again.
Breaking out of the shell is a slow process, and the chicks haven't completely shed their shells until late at night.
Liu Yi couldn't help it anymore and fed the little bird's beak through the holes in the egg shell drop by drop of the spiritual spring water she had saved for herself.
The bird's beak was young and slightly transparent, making her movements more cautious.
After some time, she started to feel sleepy...
"Squeak~"
At dawn, a hoarse and weak cry came from my ears.
Liu Ye's sleepiness was swept away, her sleepy almond-shaped eyes widened, and she looked at the eggshell placed on the bedside.
The little chick that started to break out of its shell last night has now successfully broken out of its shell.
It struggled out of the eggshell, breathing rapidly with its beak open.
The wings were pressed against the broken eggshell, and the big eyes that took up almost half of the entire head were tightly closed. Most of the mucus on the body had dried, and sparse white fluff spread all over the body, but it still couldn't cover the dark red skin underneath.
At first glance, it looks a bit ugly, but upon closer inspection, it turns out to be extremely ugly.
The puppy stage of animals is generally the cutest and cutest time in the animal's life.
But there is only one exception, and that is poultry.
Even if they grow up to look like red-crowned cranes, that kind of fairy-like bird that doesn't eat grains, they are basically too ugly to look at when they are young.
The same was true for the little chick in front of me. It was so ugly that it had no friends.
Liu Yi despised it while taking care of it.
First, I put it on a coral fleece blanket, made some goat milk and fed it to it.
Worried about the high temperature, I put it back into the space and told the two puppies not to bully the chicks.
The little puppy had never seen such an ugly little thing in its short life. They all came over and looked at the little chick huddled in the blanket with disgust.
They stretched out their fat, furry paws, curiously wanting to pull at it.
When Liu Yi saw that she was about to touch the delicate little bird, she quickly stopped her.
"You two, be good. It's still young and doesn't want to play around. You can play together when it grows up."
But the little puppy, who has always been very good, somehow always sneaks up to the little chick, as if he has endless energy in his body, working harder than cooking.
Liu Yi had no choice but to let the two puppies out to play with the tiger cubs.
Because she hadn't slept much all night, her body was a little tired, and she just wanted to waste the day.
But she couldn't really be idle, so she began to check out the excavated books.
"Encyclopedia of Bird Feeding"
The chick's crop is large and can store food, so it is enough to feed three to four meals a day, and the food must be regularly rationed. The food should be as thick as corn soup or rice milk...
Yes, just right for your own little chicks.
Although it is ugly now, people look forward to its beauty when it grows feathers, just like the legendary phoenix's rebirth.
After studying all morning, she felt that she knew how to do it, so she started preparing feed for the chicks.
Dissolve the whole grain powder with water until it becomes a paste, and add the egg yolk appropriately.
Then, use a syringe without a needle to feed the soaked feed into the bird's beak.
I didn't know if it was feeling unwell, but I felt that the little bird had a poor appetite and was not in good spirits, so I fed him some spiritual spring water.
"Although you are ugly, I don't dislike you. You must grow strong~"
By the way, I heard that a newborn bird will regard the first creature it sees as its mother, which is equivalent to the nestling complex.
"Baby, I will be your mother from now on. We will depend on each other for life together. You must live well, be strong and brave, and don't give up halfway..."
She didn't care whether the little chick could understand people's words or not, she was in high spirits all by herself.
Finally, he coaxed the little chick to sing a lullaby, but not a single line was in tune, the kind that ran off the train track.
The dark sky hangs low, accompanied by bright stars.
Chongerfei, Chongerfei, who are you missing...
When the male protagonist opens his eyes, there is an extra mother ^O^
