Xie Hui stared at his scorched hair in silence for a long time. Before, he only thought his cub's stupid scorched fur was funny.
Now when it was my turn, I realized that it was really not intentional, and I didn't have much feeling.
The scorched hair is visible to the naked eye, but it doesn't actually hurt. A strange burnt smell can only be smelled when you get close.
I struggled to bring the kindling to the cave, lit some dry fallen leaves, and added twigs, enduring the fear of fire in my bones.
When staring at the lit fire, Xie Hui realized that how to hunt became a difficult problem.
Giant pandas look cute, and their fighting power is not weak, but there are not many prey in this bamboo forest. In this superficial dynasty, the staple food of giant pandas is bamboo or bamboo shoots.
Even if he caught something, Xie Hui felt that his claws were not easy to get used to.
If it is baked directly without any seasoning, I don't know if the cub is picky or not.
Before Xie could think about it, the cub woke up, stood up unsteadily, and wanted to pick the last wild fruit left by the cave.
The whole green wild fruit was very sour, and he continued to stuff it into his mouth while inhaling.
After eating, he threw the fruit core aside, ran up to Xie Hui again, buried his head in the giant panda's stomach, and began to feel that he was sour and wronged.
Xie Hui never thought that after sucking cubs from so many worlds, he would be sucked by cubs like cats one day.
She patted his back lightly with her paw, feeling that she was thinking too much, and after coaxing him for a while, pushed him aside.
The cub who hadn't played enough, when pushed aside to sit down, raised his legs silently to follow.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, Xie Hui let out a warning growl, which made him stop subconsciously.
Xie Hui didn't know how far he ran before he caught a bamboo mouse from the bamboo forest. After scanning it, Ozawa confirmed that there was no problem, so he found a small river and cleaned it with his claws.
If the cub is also a beast, you can feed it whatever you want.
But since it is a human cub, you have to be careful, and dare not feed it to him unless you are familiar with it.
Every time the toddler cub would sit at the entrance of the cave and wait when the giant panda left, when he saw the familiar giant panda come back, he hurriedly ran up on his short legs.
Occasionally, other giant pandas will pass by in the bamboo forest, and they may be the same in front of outsiders.
But he seemed to be able to recognize them, and every time he saw those borrowed ones, he would quickly look away after just one glance.
"Aw, hoo~"
Listening to his childish voice, Xie Hui frowned and hugged him with his paws.
Decided not to say a word to him before letting him come into contact with human society.
The fire in the cave had already been extinguished, but fortunately there was still some kindling in the ashes. After rekindling the fire, roast the bamboo rat that had been cleaned up.
The smell of food gradually came out, and the human cub who was being held by the giant panda swallowed quietly.
He didn't like to look around like before, but put all his attention on the meat.
Xie Hui originally wanted to ask him if he could eat, but just as he opened his mouth, he realized that it was not suitable for him to talk to him now.
He had been staring at the cub of the giant panda. Seeing that Xie Hui opened his mouth and stopped talking, he curiously began to say:
"Oh?"
It was really inconvenient for Xie to return his paw. After poking it, he made sure that the meat was cooked, and put it aside to let it cool. He wanted to test whether it was hot with the cub he was holding.
Holding his hand, let him touch it lightly.
Zai's clear eyes were instantly filled with surprise. After holding the meat, he turned his head and looked at his father tentatively, as if asking if this was really for him?
Before Xie Hui could give an answer, he leaned forward and took a bite directly. His white teeth bit on the cooked meat, and he couldn't tear off a piece of meat after biting for a long time.
Xie Hui stared at the meat that had been chewed into a mess by him, and silently looked away.
As a panda, he thought it would be nice to be able to familiarize himself with this thing.
Although this cub can't chew it now, but the cub who can see that it is delicious, probably doesn't care much.
Some ate, the cub gnawed on the not-so-fat meat for a long time, and finally gnawed off a small half of it.
When Xie Hui hugged him to sleep at night, he could be seen swallowing there.
Early the next morning, Xie Hui was about to go out for a stroll to get some bamboo shoots to eat, when he turned his head and saw the cub standing at the door, with anticipation written in both eyes.
Just as she was about to tell him that she didn't go out to find him something to eat, she just opened her mouth before silently closing it again.
This region is quite special, and bamboo shoots are available in most seasons.
However, the taste of too old bamboo shoots is not very good. In the season when there are few tender bamboo shoots, the client either goes to the bamboo forests of other giant pandas to grab them, or simply gnaws the bamboo.
After Xie Hui was full, he searched around in the bamboo forest again, went to the next bamboo forest to pick some fruit, returned to the nest and threw it to the cub.
Although there is no delicious meat like yesterday, there is fruit to eat anyway, and the cub who was only lost for a moment quickly adjusted and was so happy that he groaned twice.
Xie Hui held a branch, checked to make sure there was still some kindling buried in the ashes, and after lighting it, he propped his head on his paws and thought about Xiong Sheng.
Xie Hui, who completed the first phase of the task, knows exactly how difficult it is to raise a child.
Not only to raise him, but also to teach him the truth, these are not things that I, who is just a giant panda, can do now.
Seeing the cub sitting on the leaf with his bare buttocks nibbling fruit, the more Xie Hui thought about it, the more worried he became.
If this is a modern society, if you take this cub into the human world, even if he has no family, he will be adopted by an orphanage.
But in this ancient world, countless beggars starved to death on the roadside.
The cub leaned there to chew on the fruit, and his teeth were not yet fully grown and not sharp.
When he couldn't bite once, he gnawed twice more. After gnawing, he stared at Xie Hui and yelled at him.
"Oh?"
As he spoke, he seemed to want to hand him one of his fruits.
Xie Hui waved his paw, silently changed the direction and continued to think about Xiong Sheng.
During the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, Xie Hui was able to barely make do with raising the cubs, and even if he worked hard, he could get food for him.
In the summer, I took him to take a bath together. I didn't understand what the giant panda wanted to do. When it was thrown into the water several times, it got up very strong.
With wet hair, he asked very stubbornly:
"Aw? Aww!"
No matter how much he protested, Xie Hui just silently pushed him down every time he climbed up.
In the end, the cub, who had no strength, could only sit in a shallow flowing water, let the panda scrub him with his paws, panting heavily.
Xie Hui didn't rub it twice, he screamed in pain, and hugged one of the giant panda's paws with both hands.
Anyway, there are four paws now, the cub is happy to hold one, and Xie Hui uses the other.
When it was time to take a bath for the second time, he was really afraid of pain. He followed Xie Hui's previous example and scrubbed himself to clean himself up.
Although they are living in the forest now, Xie Hui feels that they should pay attention to the quality of life.
Every time he not only takes a bath, but also asks him to wash his head when the weather is warm.
Although there was a language barrier, Xie Hui's way of teaching him was extremely rough.
Demonstrate it by yourself first. If you can't stand the cubs rubbed by the giant panda's paws, you will rub them very actively.
When the client picked up the cub, he just thought he had picked up a fun toy, and ran back to the nest with his clothes in his mouth.
As the child grows up day by day, the original clothes are already small.
When Xie Hui was packing up, he accidentally found a jade pendant from inside the rags and sackcloth, the quality of which looked pretty good.
At this time, I'm not sure if this cub's identity is unusual, so I can only help him put away his things first.
When the weather gradually cooled down, Xie Hui and his cubs gathered a lot of dry firewood in the bamboo forest.
Seeing the firewood piled there, Xie Hui silently calculated in his heart, thinking that it should still not be enough, after all, it was a long winter.
After waking up one day, there was frost in the bamboo forest. Xie Hui planned to change his position and sleep for a while, when he heard the sound of the cub sneezing.
Xie Hui lowered his head and stared at the naked cub, only then did he realize that he was not like himself, with extra thick fur to keep out the cold.
The clothes I used to wear are now so small that I can't wear them at all.
It's just that I sneezed when the weather turned cold. When the weather cools down in the future, there is no place to grab medicine in case I catch a cold.
Xie Hui hugged him in his arms, trying to make him warmer.
After much deliberation, I still picked a good weather and left the bamboo forest with the piece of cloth and cub.
On the way of leaving, Xie Hui made a mark to ensure that he could find the way back later, and he couldn't let himself pick up the firewood he had been picking up for so long.
In order to run faster, Xie Hui let the cub lie on his back, and fastened it with the cloth that the client brought when he picked him up.
After running for about two hours, I finally saw the road and followed it to a small town.
The bustling gate of the city caused a little commotion when the giant panda appeared, and even the guards guarding the gate were a little bit stunned when they saw it.
Then when Xie Hui ran closer, someone was even more shocked to see a child tied to his back.
This kind of black and white beast, His Majesty once made a decree that no one is allowed to harm it without authorization. If people see people hurting black and white beasts indiscriminately, it is so serious that they will be exiled.
Xie Hui dared to come to this place precisely because he knew this background.
The county magistrate received the news very quickly, and when he heard it suddenly, he even thought it might be a ridiculous joke.
Although the black and white beast is full of curiosity, but this baby? how is this possible!
The county magistrate went to the gate of the city before he even had time to change his clothes.
Seeing the black and white beast with a child on its back, he was stunned for a while, and it was the people around him who gently pushed his arm, which brought him back to his senses.
"This this…"
Xie Hui saw the official uniform on his body, and walked up to him with his cub on his back, pointing to the cloth with his paw.
"This, it this, this is?"
Finding that he didn't seem to understand what he meant, Xie Hui repeated it patiently.
Clothes, he wants cub's clothes!
