Coming to this strange ice field, it was the first time for Song Wen to stay outside at night. He should be glad that the day when his new mother left was sunny. Even though the temperature at night was lower than that of the day, there was no wind. Wen has grown up a lot compared to when he first came here, but he doesn't have to worry about freezing to death outside.

The snow pit is not big, but it is more than enough for two cubs to nest together.

When Song Wen was in the colony of emperor penguins, he always liked to look at the night sky and see the gorgeous aurora before going to sleep, but now he couldn't see anything in the cave.

"Song Song."

The little yellow chicken pulled some of the emperor penguin fluff under him to keep warm on Song Wen's body.

"Huh?" Song Wen lay in a pile of hair, the snow on top of his head hadn't frozen into ice yet, a handful fell onto his neck, he shook his head to get the snow off, and his whole body coiled up even more Tighten it a little, it will make him feel warmer.

The little yellow chicken huddled next to Song Wen, and used its beak to help Song Wen clean up the snowflakes on his head that he hadn't had time to shake off. Its small wings had grown a little these days, and the fluff on them had also grown. It is much denser, although it is not enough for it to hold an emperor penguin cub as big as Song Wen in its arms, but it is still barely enough to wrap around Song Wen's neck.

The temperature of the little yellow chicken is a bit high, Song Wen was a little disgusted that the other party was too close, and even his breath was blown to his eyes. He just ate eggshells not long ago, and he was covered with a soft and glutinous milky fragrance. , making Song Wen want to take a bite of the little yellow chicken.

Seeing that the little yellow chicken kept silent after calling out to him, Song Wen couldn't help but look sideways at it suspiciously.The ice sheet is covered with white snow and ice. Even without artificial light, it is not as dim as imagined. In addition, after becoming an emperor penguin, Song Wen feels that his eyesight has improved a lot, even if he stays in a snow pit. , and can barely distinguish things in front of them.

The little yellow chicken tilted its neck, and the other little wing was clasping Song Wen's little wing unconsciously, as if protecting its precious belongings. This expression showed that the little yellow chicken was thinking, and the inheritance of race could make the little yellow chicken The speed of learning things is very fast, but after all, it has not been long since I was out of the shell, so I can't express myself clearly at once. I can only speak while thinking like I am now.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." The little yellow chicken puffed out his chest after finishing speaking, a piece of ice slag just fell on its beak, and the attention that had just been thinking seriously was suddenly caught by the snow on the top of the head that had not had time to tamp down Being attracted to him, Song Wen wondered if the other party really understood what he said just now.

But these are not important, even if the novice mother who cared for him is gone, at least he is not alone, no, he is a penguin.This little chicken that broke its shell in front of his eyes has indeed been by his side since the day it broke its shell.

"Well, go to sleep." The mood in Song Wen's eyes fluctuated, and his tone became much more relaxed, because the boredom caused by the novice mother's sudden farewell without saying goodbye has also eased a lot, but you can't blame an emperor penguin Know how to take the initiative to say hello before leaving the group to go to sea.

The two fluffy cubs leaned on each other, the temperature of their bodies was transmitted to each other, and the thick fluff insulated the surrounding ice and snow. Although it was the first night to spend the night outside, Song Wen was still very fast. Just fell asleep.

Cubs don't need to look for food, the only task is to grow up quickly, and adequate sleep is also very important for growth.

The coldest day on the ice field is before the sun rises. Without the protection of the novice mother’s warm fur, Song Wen was woken up by the cold even though she covered her body with more fluff. She sneezed a few times uncontrollably. It won't be like winter that even the snot can freeze directly into ice, but the chill penetrating into the bones still makes Song Wen feel a little uncomfortable.

The little yellow chicken was sleeping soundly, with its two little paws raised high, clutching Song Wen's fur tightly, one wing wrapped around Song Wen's neck, and the other wing was able to clasp Song Wen's little wing. Almost the whole bird fell on Song Wen's body. I don't know how this difficult movement lasted all night.

Waking up from the cold, Song Wen couldn't fall asleep again. Although he wanted to stay with the little yellow chicken for a while longer, he didn't know if the ventilation at the entrance of the cave was too poor. He just felt a little stuffy in his breathing. Rescued from under the wings and claws of the little yellow chicken, crawled out of the snow hole.

The emperor penguins in the distance were still asleep, and the stars in the sky began to dissipate slowly. Song Wen stretched his stiff neck and walked around a few times. After moving around for a while, he felt warmer than in the snow pit many.

"Song Song?" The little yellow chicken also woke up at some point. Although it crawled out of the cave, its eyes were still half drooping, obviously not fully awake yet. It glanced at Song Wen who was standing not far away, and walked Little Claw walked over and saw that Song Wen had no intention of moving, so he just nestled beside him, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Song Wen: "..."

Is it because I can't sleep without myself?Song Wen didn't move at all, and stood quietly waiting for the little yellow chicken to return to the cage after sleeping.

After the novice mother left, Song Wen had nothing else to do except continue to tidy up the snow pit where he and the little yellow chicken lived. There are still a few of the baby fish that his mother got from him frozen in the snow pit, so he doesn't have to worry about food until he can walk a longer distance.

Some emperor penguin cubs were born a few days earlier, their parents are still alive, and they grow faster than ordinary cubs when there is enough food. They also have to be forced to live outside like him. At that time, both male emperor penguins and female emperor penguins have to go to sea together, otherwise the food they find is not enough for these cubs with growing appetites. of.

Even though it was in the cold snow, the little yellow chicken fell asleep much later than usual. There was already a noisy sound in the colony of emperor penguins, and the sun brought warmth to the earth. The little yellow chicken Then reluctantly opened his eyes.

Song Wen didn't rush, and waited for the little yellow chicken to wake up before taking it to pick up feathers and tidy up their snow pits.

In the first two days, Song Wen could still hear the voice of the harpy cursing at the emperor penguins from a distance, but then the voice gradually diminished, and recently it was no longer heard.

After surviving the first night of life in the snow pit, it was much easier to accept later on. Although he would still wake up from the cold before dawn, it was gradually within the acceptable range of Song Wen.

Some cubs in the emperor penguin colony have begun to try to live outside the pouch, but most still need the protection of their parents.

As usual, Song Wen wandered around the flock of emperor penguins, and then climbed onto the huge ice next to the entrance of the cave to see if he could see the harpies. Of course, he could see nothing but the densely packed emperor penguins. not see.

It has been several days, and I can't hear the other party's voice. Is it because I was frozen to death or starved to death because I didn't have anything to eat?Emperor penguins can go months without food while their young are hatching, but that doesn't mean that other creatures living in the polar regions can too.

If Song Wen is not a cub now, he would like to get in touch with the harpies. After all, a creature that can speak human words and is trapped by ice is the only way for him to understand this world. Unfortunately, He was just a cub, and he had to be a little cautious about every possible danger.

Two days later, more and more emperor penguin cubs began to be kicked out of their pouches by their fathers. Adult emperor penguins were either going out to sea or on their way out to sea every day. The emperor penguin will rob himself, and he will no longer cause commotion when he enters and exits the emperor penguin colony. Of course, no adult emperor penguin is willing to share food with a strange cub.

There are many cubs in the emperor penguin colony who were robbed before and have to starve now. It would be fine if they could find their parents again. If they don't come out, I'm afraid that the last thing waiting for them will be the result of starving to death.

Even though they have grown fast, it will take time and plenty of food until they are able to go to sea.

The little emperor penguins huddled together in the center of the colony. The fluffy gray balls left the safe pouch for the first time, full of anxiety and confusion. They instinctively relied on their own kind for warmth just like their parents. It's the first time, but it won't be the last time. Even if the snowstorm is coming soon, they still need to rely on it to survive.

Song Wen circled around these small dumplings a few times. These small dumplings are really too weak. Originally, Song Wen planned to see if he could bring the little yellow chicken in to warm up when the next snowstorm came, but it was very difficult. Obviously, these small groups are not as good as those big penguins. Even if they can survive, they will suffer a lot. I only hope that the next snowstorm will come later, and their snow holes can also hold up.

The little yellow chicken has grown rapidly recently. In just a few days, its soft, golden down has become quite hard, but it is not yet time to moult, but its food intake has increased accordingly. The daily portion of food that Song Wen had divided before had to be readjusted.Although there is a little discrepancy, it can last for a few more days.

Song Wen planned to stay a little away from the breeding ground tomorrow to see if he could get new food, but before that, he planned to visit the harpies again.
