Cub Raising Association

More than half a month later, the northern hemisphere of Star Gaia not only failed to escape from the cold winter, but even lowered the temperature a little bit, and small snowflakes had already fallen in some areas.

The location of the Yunbao branch is a little bit better. It won't snow here, but the temperature felt is beautiful enough for Xie Tao.

Under the background of the other staff in the branch who were only wearing thin clothes, Xie Tao seemed to be wearing quite thick clothes, but as the temperature dropped in the past few days, Xie Tao had to put on an extra layer of clothes for himself. So as not to shiver in this weather.

When going to bed at night, Xie Tao would even unconsciously hug the fluff that was nestled next to his pillow into his arms after falling asleep, so that he would feel warmer.

"A Luan, are you... really so cold?" The room was filled with a group of alien races who had no sense of the low temperature. Xia Qi glanced at the human youths who had wrapped themselves up tightly in the past few days. , couldn't help asking aloud.

As soon as this question came out, the few people who were busy nearby couldn't help but glance at Xie Tao, they actually had the same question as Xia Qi in their hearts.

The distance between Gaia and the Earth Federation is very far. Although it is a trading planet, there are not many humans that can be seen on Gaia on a daily basis. Therefore, people living on this planet actually have a very good understanding of the human race. superficial.

It's like they know that the combat ability of human beings is generally weak after they get rid of special weapons and equipment, but they don't know the specific extent of this weakness.

Why does it look like you might freeze to death if you don't dress thickly in winter...?

As an alien race whose physical fitness is far superior to that of human beings, everyone in the room obviously cannot feel this kind of cold.As a newborn cub, you only need to stay in the incubator except when you are just born from the shell.

Facing everyone's eyes, Xie Tao could only nod his head, with a somewhat helpless expression.

The thick clothes he is wearing are all brought from the original world by using the rules before. Alien races are not very afraid of the cold. If there is no demand, there will be no market. Anyway, there is no such thing as selling thick clothes on Gaia. shops.

It is already known that adult alien races are basically not afraid of the cold, but Xie Tao is still worried about cubs, especially the mermaid cubs living in the small pool in the courtyard are Xie Tao's primary concern.

"Is the water temperature too cold?" Xie Tao knelt down, stretched out his hands to test the temperature on the water, and couldn't help but frowned.

It was colder outside than indoors, and Xie Tao's fingers felt a burst of icy cold as soon as they touched the surface of the pool.

The mermaid cub with short light blond hair had already swam past when Xie Tao walked to the edge of the pool. Although the delicate little face was not very expressive, the icy blue fish tail swaying in the water undoubtedly revealed that Out of emotion.

"a..." The mermaid cub who was watching the young man let out a very low breath from his throat, which he couldn't even hear if he didn't pay attention.But it still tried hard to make a sound to respond, and it shook its head at the young man after squeezing out a little breath from its throat.

Xie Tao read on "Cubs Encyclopedia" that the favorite water temperature for cubs of the mermaid race is 18°C. When he saw this content, Xie Tao turned around and bought a small water temperature adjustment device on the star website.

The pool is not too big, it is enough to buy a small device for the time being, and the price is not too expensive to afford, Xie Luan did not hesitate at all when spending the money.

But the courier was delayed by something, and the things hadn't been delivered to him today, and it just so happened that the temperature had cooled down in the past few days.

The preferred water temperature for mermaid cubs is 18°C, but even cooler water temperatures will not have any practical impact on mermaid cubs, after all, mermaid races have extremely high cold tolerance.

Xie Tao stretched out his hand to touch the short blond hair of the mermaid cub, and soon he heard a faint breathing sound.

The mermaid cub was leaning against the edge of the pool, which was the closest position to Xie Tao.

There was no way to get any closer, the mermaid cub had no choice but to raise its head and reach out to touch Xie Tao's knee.

The mermaid cub's hands were stained with water, Xie Tao didn't care about this, he was just thinking about the meaning of the mermaid cub's action.

"a...pa..." The mermaid cub pronounced the second syllable a little harder than the first, but this difference is hard to feel, and Xie Tao couldn't notice it at this time.

After touching the young man's knee, the cub's hand didn't intend to move away, it kept looking up at the young man.

Finally found that the mermaid cub seemed to want to get closer to him, Xie Tao thought for a while, but he still stretched out his hand, and when the mermaid cub showed no resistance, he slowly picked it up from the pool .

Wanting to get close to the young man, but because of the experience of being abandoned in the wasteland and almost dying of dehydration, the fear of being out of the water still made the mermaid cub instinctively flick its fish tail at the moment it was carried out of the pool .

The small mermaid tail covered with ice-blue scales slapped Xie Tao again. Xie Tao let the fish tail throw him all over the water, and only repeatedly raised his hand to caress the mermaid over and over again. The cub's light blonde short hair comforted him with a voice: "Baby is not afraid."

Like Xia Qi, Xie Tao disagreed with parents who would throw away their cubs because of their physical defects.Since you let this cub come into this world, you should take responsibility.

"This is your home, no one can hurt you anymore." Xie Tao said as he lowered his head to look at the small pool next to him. When conditions permit, he will improve the living environment for the mermaid cub.

The strength of patting the fishtail on the young man gradually weakened. Although out of the water, the sense of security felt by the young man's warm voice made the mermaid cub gradually less afraid, and the panic that was originally full of instincts finally gradually subsided. subside.

The small fish tail covered with ice-blue scales stopped moving at last, and only its tail fin moved slightly. The calmed mermaid cub leaned against Xie Luan's body, and made the breathy sound that it wanted to make forcefully before: " Pa..."

Pa?

Sensing that the syllable uttered by the cub in his arms should have some meaning, Xie Tao thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't think of the answer.

Unable to think of an answer, Xie Tao could only touch the hair of the mermaid cub in his arms, softened his voice, and used a universal comforting sentence: "Be good, baby."

Shaking its tail fin because of the young man's soothing voice, the mermaid cub lowered its head and rubbed against Xie Tao's arms, trying harder to pronounce the syllable: "pa——"

But it's a pity that it can still only be a low breath, making the syllable a little clearer, which is the limit that this mermaid cub can do at present.

After confirming that the baby mermaid could indeed accept the current water temperature in the pool, Xie Tao dismissed the idea of ​​bringing the baby mermaid back indoors temporarily.

The house really doesn't have a spacious environment for the mermaid cub to move around, and if you have to go back to the small wooden barrel, the environment is too cramped, Xie Tao still wants the cub to live in a spacious environment as much as possible.

After putting the mermaid cubs back into the pool, Xie Tao went back and changed his coat before entering the room where the cubs lived.

As soon as he walked into the house, there was a round cub in Xie Tao's arms that looked like a rabbit and a cat, with two small horns on its head. It was white and fluffy, and it was not generally comfortable to hold it for warmth.

The job Xie Tao arranged for Yayi was to tidy up the courtyard every once in a while, and it was a matter of minutes to solve it with supernatural powers, but Zarad had a complicated expression when he knew about it.

The ability displayed by the silver-haired Knox is very powerful, and such a powerful ability is actually used to tidy up the courtyard...

And when there was nothing else to do, the adult Knox would transform itself back into a cub form, and then the cub Knox would run to Xie Tao as a hand warmer.

There are a group of fluffy cubs in the room, each of these cubs can move freely, and they are completely unafraid of the cold, Xie Tao let go of his heart, but he couldn't help but feel a little bit of envy in his heart.

His hands were cold, which made Xie Tao unconsciously pat the back of the fluffy white Knox cub in his arms.

"Huh." Wanting to warm the young man's hand, the Knox cub moved and pressed the young man's hand under its fluffy soft belly.

The fluffy cub's body was warm, but Xie Tao was not willing to take out his right hand after such a pressure.

Several other caretakers in the room were preparing food for the cub, Xie Tao turned his eyes a little to the left at this time, and he saw that Kuti cub was still practicing flapping its wings accompanied by the other two Jiu.

In addition to the previous half month, this Kuti cub has been learning how to fly for a month. From the beginning, he could not fly at all, then he was able to fly on flat ground, and now he can fly to a certain height.

But this Kuti cub still can't fly very far. It doesn't take long after each take-off, and it will land involuntarily after flying about two meters away.

Every time it is fixed at about two meters, no more than two meters, this made Xie Tao find something wrong.

Before flying two meters away, the Kuti cub's flying posture was very standard and it flew very well.But as soon as it flew over a distance of two meters, the cub seemed to shrink back a little and landed by itself.

Xie Tao rubbed the Knox cub in his arms, temporarily put down the white fluffy cub, approached the Kuti cub who was practicing flapping its wings, and put the chubby light red chubby cub Hug up.

Xie Tao put the Kuti cub on the top of the locker he cleaned up before, and asked softly, "Do you remember the last practice?"

"Chirp." The Kuti cub moved its little wings folded behind it, looked at the young man nearby with its slick black eyes, and chirped crisply.

It can certainly fly by now.

Thinking that the young man was going to repeat the same exercise as last time, the Kuti cub stood on the edge of the top of the locker, waiting for the young man to walk two steps away and open his hands to it.

Xie Tao did back away, but it was not just two steps, but five meters away.

"Come on, the baby flew over here." Standing more than five meters away, Xie Tao opened his hand to the Kuti cub standing on the locker.

The Kuti cub, who was full of confidence just now, saw this distance, and suddenly lost confidence, but seeing the encouraging eyes from the young man in the distance, the Kuti cub did not flinch in the end.

Wanting to be able to fly into the young man's arms instead of asking the young man to squat down to hold it, this was an idea that this Kuti cub had when he was learning to fly.

"Chirp."

Gathering up his courage, the Kuti cub flapped its wings towards Xie Tao's direction.
