The cubs I have raised are all grown up!

The first snow in early winter fell on the bare branches, and when the wind blew gently, it fell with a bit of coolness.

"Chirp~" The clear cry sounded, and people couldn't help being startled. It's already winter, so why are there still birds staying in the north?

Xu Jiujiu turned his head to look, and it turned out that the youngest Xiao Qi was buried in a handful of snow, and it was getting cold.

The little Baituanzi shook his feathers vigorously, and hopped his feet, but the coolness still seeped in, making the little Baituanzi shiver and tweet.

No way, who made them not fly high or far, so they can only spend the winter in the north?

As the only mature one in the whole long-tailed tit family, Xu Jiujiu had no choice but to lean over to help Xiaoqi clean off the falling snow from his head, and then covered him in his wings to keep him warm.

Yes, that’s right, as birds that cannot migrate to the south, the way their long-tailed tits spend the winter is to huddle together and keep each other warm. Every winter, they huddle together.

It's not that he can't look for human things to keep out the cold, but they have their habits. If they are used to it by human things, then if he is gone one day, the whole group will die because they lose the ability to keep out the cold. perish.

So the only thing Xu Jiujiu can do is to take a little thing under his wings when he can't hold on anymore, and support him through the long and difficult winter.

The weather is getting cold.

Xu Jiujiu shook his body, and watched the little tuanzi gather around, yelling fiercely and jealously at Xiaoqi, while looking at him with dependent and longing eyes, very helpless.

He also wanted to warm all the little dumplings in his arms, but although his Chirp was a bit bigger than the other dumplings, it was only a little bit bigger. If you compare it, the ordinary Chirp is about the size of a fist, and the Chirp is only as big as a fist. He is as big as a small notebook, so one or two is fine, but no more.

Moreover, he now has more important things to do.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Although Xiaojiu had stored enough food before, there was never too much food. What's more, this year's winter came very early.

Come early, don't necessarily leave early, which means that this year's winter may be longer than previous years, so the only way to feel at ease is to store more food.

Xu Jiujiu planned to bring the food he had stored before to the little Jiujiu.

After saying hello to Xiaotuanzi and telling him where he was going, Xu Jiujiu flew up with a fan. His chubby body made his flying posture a little funny. I always felt that the small wings could not be round. body, but Xu Jiujiu has become a spirit after all, so he flies fast and far.

And just as he flew to the tree hole where he had stored his food before, and wanted to move his food to the little twitters bit by bit, a strange light suddenly flashed in the sky.

The light was fast and bright, and it reached Xu Jiujiu in the blink of an eye. Before he could react, he was directly enveloped by the light and carried him to a further place.

What's this?Where are you taking him?

Xu Jiujiu was thinking in a daze, but before he had time to think more, he felt that he was in a daze and didn't know anything.

Before he fell into a coma, Xu Jiujiu was only thankful that he had informed the little Jiujiu of the location of the tree hole, so that even if this winter was too long, there would be enough food for the little Jiujiu to survive.

-

Xu Jiujiu woke up, but not fully.

The surrounding area was dark and quiet, there was no sound, and he couldn't see anything. Xu Jiujiu's first reaction was——Am I blind?

After all, even on a moonless night, the darkness is not so complete.

He opened his legs cautiously, wanting to move forward to test out where it was, but just as he was about to control his body, he felt a strange sense of restraint, trapping him in a small space.

He can't move.

where is this place?Was he imprisoned?

Xu Jiujiu was a little scared, and instinctively wanted to use the demon power to break through the shackles, but just after he tried, he found that his original cultivation base of more than 100 years had disappeared, and the sense of powerlessness in his body told him that he was very weak now.

"Chirp~" Xu Chirp called out in a low voice, but in the confined dark space, there was no echo at all to this small sound.

What can we do now?

As a bird, the only "weapons" that Xu Jiujiu possesses are claws, wings and mouth. Now the claws cannot move, the wings are bound, and only the mouth remains.

Trying to move his body, he found the wall that restrained him. Xu Jiujiu, who insisted on saving himself, raised his head and pecked hard at the wall next to him—hiss, it's so hard!

The burning mouth hurt so badly that Xu Jiujiu's little paws could barely hold it, but he still couldn't help but burst into tears.

How can it hurt so much?

As a fairy bird over 100 years old, such a forceful pecking and biting would not cause such pain at all, even if it was pecking a stone, it would not be so painful.

But now the pain in the mouth is simply beyond Xu Jiujiu's perception. I'm afraid it can only be compared to the time when Xu Jiujiu fell out of the nest when he was just born.

Xu Jiujiu, who had never experienced such pain, dared not try to use his small mouth easily anymore, but feeling his weak body, how could he get out from here?

Go, can't go, and there is no way to break through. Now, it seems that there is only one way to try.

So in the silent darkness, I heard a little bird trying very hard to "chirp~ chirp chirp~ chirp chirp chirp~"

That's right, what Xu Jiujiu thought of was to ask for help!

Dora is the storekeeper of the Imperial Palace.

Although it has been three months since the fall of the Goethe Empire and the enthronement of His Majesty Yin Si, the warehouse of the Imperial Palace is still a piece of pure land outside the smoke of gunpowder. No one told Dora that she was fired, and Dora had to continue in this clean in front of her warehouse keeper.

It was another day of doing nothing, and Dora was bored looking at the light brain. On the transparent light screen in midair, the media was reporting that another group of former imperial officials had been sentenced to death for various crimes. Every prisoner sent to the execution ground Cursing loudly: "Yin Si, you must die!"

"You won't live long even if I die, short-lived bastard!"

"Pure blood will never admit defeat! Mixed blood is inferior!"

"You will not end well! No!"

The vicious cursing made Dora frown. As a commoner, as long as it doesn’t hurt her, it doesn’t make any difference to Dora who is the master of the empire. She is angry that these criminals also belittle the bastards before they die. , although mixed blood is indeed inferior to pure blood in many aspects, but as a human being, Dora does not feel that she is inferior to those pure blood.

At least when she was recruiting in the palace, she passed with the highest score, and the pure blood didn't even have half of her score.

As if infected by Dora's anger, the executive officers in the light screen quickly blocked the mouths of these criminals. Seeing those criminals looking hideous but unable to speak a word, Dora was satisfied and changed her mind. set up a stage.

"Tak, Sicilian, six-legged, five-winged and other ethnic groups came together to visit His Majesty, and negotiated the empire's land lease and ethnic autonomy..."

The weird-shaped cosmic groups in the light curtain were paying homage to the people at the top of the palace hall, but Dora didn't pay attention to them. She just looked at the things held in the hands of those groups in the light curtain, knowing that after so long, she finally came to live up.

Sure enough, after a while, a few guards came over carrying many things, which were the gifts presented by the cosmic group that they saw on the light curtain before. The guards were also very polite when they saw Dora, "These need to be stored Gift."

As a manager of the Imperial Warehouse, identifying items and registering records are the most basic abilities. Dora nodded and checked the gifts from these ethnic groups.

"Aurora Stone, Five-Color Rays, Cloudy Haze, Starlight Gold..." These are all very precious planetary products of various ethnic groups, with special effects. Dora skillfully uses various measuring tools to weigh these rare items. portion.

However, just when Dora thought that this time would be as easy as every registration and storage, she suddenly discovered that there was an oval stone standing there in the middle of the gift.

Dora looked at this egg-like stone suspiciously. Although she was very professional and had three years of experience in the industry, Dora had to admit that she had never seen this thing in front of her.

"This is..." Dora looked at the stone in embarrassment, "Stone egg?"

The guard looked at Dora and smiled, "It can also be said that this is a gift from the five-winged clan. It is said to be an egg fossil passed down from prehistoric times. It has a history of tens of thousands of years. I wish your Majesty a long life." .”

Dora breathed out, it turned out that it was really a stone egg, but it was a little older, "Then I will put it in the antique category."

The guard didn't understand this, so he didn't answer Dora. Dora gently picked up the fossil egg, and when she was walking towards the warehouse, a "chirp~" suddenly came from her ear.

Dora was stunned, and the furry ears on her head moved. This voice... She stood on the spot carefully and looked around, but she didn't see or hear anything. Could it be her auditory hallucination?

The guard looked at Dora suspiciously, Dora looked at the guard's suspicious eyes, smiled, and continued to walk towards the warehouse, but when she started walking again, a voice came from her ear again.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp~"

The immature and clear voice lingered in her ears, and Dora stopped. She was sure that she had absolutely no auditory hallucinations this time, and she finally knew the source of the voice.

Dora looked down at the fossil egg she was holding in her arms. The feel of the stone was never fake, and she looked at the guard not far away. Although it is the duty of a warehouse manager to store gifts, but...

"That, sir..."

The guard asked, "What's wrong?"

Dora blinked and pointed to the egg she held in her arms, "If the fossil egg is alive, do I still need to store it?"
