Cub Raising Association

Having fully mastered the method of using the small feeding bottle and how to mix rations, Xie Tao has now basically mastered the skills of feeding cubs.

However, there were quite a few cubs who didn't know what race they were. Xie Tao suddenly felt that he needed a "Cubs Encyclopedia" to supplement his lack of common sense and to understand the habits of cubs of different races.

The Tukila cub lying on Xie Tao's lap was still squinting and grunting. It seemed that it was about to fall asleep, and the swing of its tail gradually became smaller and smaller.Xie Tao's legs were actually numb from sitting cross-legged, but he still didn't push the cub away.

Coaxing cubs to sleep is also a technical task. Some cubs can be very noisy, so not every nurseryman can do it to make such cubs sleep well.Among the star assessments listed by the Star Alliance for the profession of childcare workers, coaxing cubs to sleep occupies a certain proportion.

I have never seen this Takila cub wanting to sleep right after drinking milk. Xia Qi didn't realize it at first, but when she came back to her senses, she went to the human youth who was still sitting cross-legged. Went over there.

Xia Qi wanted to take the Takila cub, who seemed to have fallen asleep, back to its nest, but just as she approached and squatted down, the Takila cub suddenly stretched out her hand halfway. His eyes opened, and a deeper grunt came out of his throat than before, and the thick, short, fluffy tail slapped the ground several times.

Not happy to be hugged.Xia Qi knew the withdrawn nature of the Takira race, so she quickly put her hands back, with a helpless expression on her face.She felt that the cub had already fallen asleep, so she wanted to come over and carry him back to the bed.

Since he is still awake, he must not be able to hug...

"Do you want to take it back to the room over there?" Xie Tao picked up the cub Takila who suddenly opened his eyes again, and stood up at the same time. Because his legs were numb from sitting, Xie Tao was still a little bit awkward when he stood up. Didn't stand still.

The other party has more work to do than him, so it's fine for him to take the cub back to the nest, Xie Tao thought so.

"..." Xia Qi looked at the Takila cub who was being held by the young man but didn't struggle at all, and behaved very obediently, with a complicated expression, and nodded with a slow reaction.

If you agree to be unhappy, people will hug you, but if you agree to do so, you can't hug them? ?Although her inner activities were extremely rich at this time, Xia Qi still tried her best to maintain her stable image.

It didn't take much time to carry the Tukila cub back to the nest, but when he walked back, Xie Tao saw that two of his colleagues seemed to be discussing something, and one of them brought the topic to him as soon as he saw him.

"It's my turn today, but I think it's better to let the newcomers get acquainted with it, so that they can be more proficient when it's their turn later." Zhao Chuan said to the other two.

Of course the newcomer was referring to him. Xie Tao didn't hear the previous story, so he didn't know what he was talking about, so he cast a questioning look at Xia Qi.

"It's nothing, I just need to change the water for that mermaid cub." Xia Qi shook her head at the young man. How could she not know that Zhao Chuan was just trying to make himself lazy, and he said it so grandiosely.Now as soon as a new colleague arrives, this person wants to let go of the work he should be doing and throw it away.

Think beautiful!

If it weren't for the fact that their branch is really short of manpower and unable to recruit newcomers, Xia Qi would have gone to tell the old president about firing the other party.

Obviously, she liked the new colleague who was willing to take good care of the cubs, Xia Qi raised her eyebrows immediately, and was about to help Xie Tao speak with a stern face.

"Oh, okay." Xie Tao nodded, and quickly agreed to the matter.

Xia Qi was suddenly stopped by the young man's words, and abruptly swallowed back the words that were almost on her lips.She is anxious, the new colleague is so easy to talk to, don't you see that the other party just wants to be lazy and leave the job to him? ?

But of course Xie Tao didn't notice it, it's just that he was too lazy to argue over such a trivial matter, and he himself was quite willing to change the water for the cubs.

Now that the young man has agreed, Xia Qi can't say much about it, but she gave Zhao Chuan a cold look and said, "The supplies in the branch need to be replenished. I made a list. You can go out this afternoon. Buy things back according to the list."

After talking, Xia Qi doesn't care what the other party's expression is, anyway, it's settled like this.

Changing the water for the baby mermaid—the wooden barrel is not big, so changing the water in theory is a very easy task. You just need to pick up the baby mermaid first, pour out the water in the small wooden barrel, fill it up again, and put Put the baby mermaid back and you're done.

Xie Tao picked up the small wooden bucket containing the baby mermaid, carried it all the way to the bathroom and put it down, then he started rolling up his sleeves.

The mermaid baby staying in the small wooden barrel was very quiet. At least since just now, Xie Tao didn't hear the cub make a sound at all. He only raised his head and watched him with those blue eyes. Still expressionless.

But Xie Tao didn't mind, he squatted down and stroked the short light blond hair of the baby mermaid, and slightly bent his eyes to express his kindness.Then he stretched out his hand and carefully picked up the mermaid cub from the small wooden bucket filled with water.

However, after being hugged by Xie Tao, the mermaid cub who had been quite quiet just now seemed to start some kind of instinctive struggle, probably the instinct after leaving the water. The tail of the mermaid cub started to flick wildly, The fish tail covered with icy blue scales patted repeatedly on Xie Tao's clothes.

After a while, Xie Tao was thrown into the water by this mermaid cub, and his clothes on his upper body were quite wet.

Although this unexpected thing happened, Xie Tao was not angry, he could already feel that the mermaid cub seemed to be very scared.

"Don't be afraid, baby is good." Reassuring, Xie Tao quickened the action at hand, he quickly poured out the water in the small wooden bucket, then quickly turned on the water valve to fill the water, and quickly let the mermaid cub in his arms wait again into a water environment.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the water, the mermaid cub calmed down again. Xie Tao felt that the cub was still in a frightened state, so he squatted down and calmed down patiently for a while.

A few drops of water were also thrown on his face, Xie Tao didn't care, but at this moment the mermaid cub looking at him with blue eyes slowly stretched out his hand, probably trying to wipe off the water on his cheeks.

Even though it was just a cub, the cub remembered that the two caretakers who had changed its water before were very upset about being thrown in the water by it.

But the mermaid cub's hands were already wet, and the more they rubbed them, the more water would stain Xie Tao's face.Xie Tao didn't utter a word of reproach, he just patted the mermaid cub's head, and finally he casually raised his hand to wipe his face, then walked out with the small wooden bucket after changing the water.

Seeing that the young man's coat was wet a lot, Xia Qi looked at the mermaid cub sitting quietly in the small wooden barrel, and said involuntarily: "Don't blame it, this mermaid cub is just too scared, that's why it... ..."

It wasn't intentional to dump the caretaker, it's just that the cub couldn't control his behavior when he was panicking.

"The mermaid race can't stay out of the water for too long when it is a cub. You should also know this. When someone picked up this mermaid cub in the waste yard, the cub was almost dehydrated and died." Xia Xia Qi said, with a hint of unbearable expression, "Fortunately, the person who picked up this mermaid cub put it back into the water at the first time, and it was lucky to survive."

Why a cub was picked up in Gaia's waste yard? Of course, it was because the parents intentionally abandoned it.The planet where the mermaid race lives is not close to Gaia, so they deliberately ran to a distant planet to abandon the cub, Xia Qi thought, the parents of this mermaid cub really despise this child, as for the reason——

"This cub can't talk..." It's a congenital defect, Xia Qi paused, and then said, "But if the adult is angry, it will feel it, and then it will be more scared."

Can't talk?Xie Tao was slightly taken aback. He was thinking that this mermaid cub was a little too quiet, but he didn't expect it to be the reason.

"I'm not angry." Xie Tao shook his head, then said with a smile: "As a childcare worker, you can't be unhappy because of such a trivial matter as being wet by a cub, that's too unqualified."

Xia Qi felt relieved when she heard the words, "That's good."

The mermaid race uses singing as the medium for their abilities. This is the racial characteristic of mermaids, so a mermaid cub who cannot speak means that it has no possibility of mastering abilities.

But could this birth defect be decided by the cub himself?Xia Qi could never understand parents who would abandon their cubs because of such things. She even felt angry. This mermaid cub was left alone in the waste yard, struggling constantly due to dehydration. Fear, has the person who discarded it thought about it? !

Just thinking about it this way, Xia Qi felt that she was going to get angry again, her violent temper——

Bringing the cubs back to their dens to sleep, the caretakers also ushered in a period of rest, but Xie Tao didn't go to rest, he walked out to the courtyard outside the house, and found what Lin Yi said before. Said pool.

Although the other party said that the pool was unusable, Xie Tao decided to come over and have a look in person.

The pool is not far from the house. If you go out from the side door, you can see it within a few steps.Xie Tao glanced over and found that the pool was indeed dried up as Lin Yi said, and the bottom of the pool was covered with leaves and dust.

The pool is circular, about one meter deep, and there is a thing that looks like a large Rubik's cube installed on the bottom of the pool. Xie Tao thinks this should be a circulation device.

After neatly jumping down to the bottom of the pool, Xie Tao approached the device, knelt down and knocked on it with his hands.

The circulation device is broken, how to fix it?As an earthling living in the 21st century, Xie Tao still has nothing to do with the high-tech products in this world.

"Is there any way you can restore this circulation device?" Xie Tao poked the golden ball of light floating beside him, asking with little hope.

The golden ball has not disappeared, which probably means that the other party has not given him the real final guidance. Xie Tao also remembered that the golden ball cannot communicate with him, so he just asked casually during the thinking process.

Unsurprisingly, the golden ball of light didn't react at all, Xie Tao still had to rely on himself.

It is impossible to find someone to repair it, and it is impossible to replace it with a new circulation device. Xie Tao is still very aware of the financial situation of their cub care branch.To solve the problem, we can only start with the existing circulation device.

The circulation device did not appear to be damaged in any way. If the appearance was tattered, Xie Tao might have no choice but to give up, but the appearance was intact, which gave Xie Tao a little hope.

Logically speaking, this is the interstellar era, and high-tech products should be very durable, right... Since the whole thing is still intact, maybe this circulation device is just a little problem like "poor contact"?

At this time, Xie Tao remembered that his computer suddenly couldn't be turned on at the beginning, and after he beat the host computer, it was fine - now, it is also a dead horse.

"Hurry up and get back to work—" Xie Tao rolled up his sleeves and beat the large Rubik's cube-like circulation device.I don't know what kind of material this circulation device is made of, but it was slapped by Xie Tao anyway.

After shooting for about 1 minute, a voice suddenly sounded in the empty courtyard.

"beep."

Following the sound, the top of the large Rubik's Cube lit up, a series of unclear data flashed quickly, and finally the remaining blue light that represented the startup status was slightly lit.

It was too late to feel happy, almost at the same moment when the circulation device resumed operation, Xie Tao suddenly felt a sense of mental fatigue, which made him raise his hand to support his forehead, close his eyes and wait for the strange feeling to pass .

Did you really beat him up?Unexpectedly, breaking the pot and smashing it would have such a result, Xie Tao blinked to make sure that the little blue dot on the device was really on, and then stood up.

The process is not important, what matters is the result.Now that the circulation device is ready, he only needs to clean up the bottom of the pool, and he can immediately change the living environment for the mermaid cub...

Although this pool is not very big, it must be much more spacious than the small wooden barrel.Perhaps in this relatively free environment, the mermaid cubs would feel more secure.

Cleaning the pool is not an easy task, but it can be done with a little effort. Xie Tao worked here for several hours and finally made a clean pool.

After filling the pool with water, Xie Tao went back to the house and told Xia Qi about it, and went out holding the small wooden bucket that still contained a mermaid cub while the latter stared blankly at her.

"I'm sorry baby, it's impossible to get you a sea, but this pool should be better than the wooden barrel." Xie Tao said while carrying the mermaid cub out of the small wooden barrel into the pool.

The mermaid cub who changed its living environment seemed to be a little unresponsive for a while, but the spacious environment different from the small wooden barrel made it unable to resist trying to swim around. After adapting, the cub also tried to dive. to underwater.

There is water on all sides, and there is no more secure environment for a mermaid cub.

Xie Tao squatted by the pool and watched. Seeing that the baby mermaid had adapted well and seemed to like the pool quite a bit, he smiled along with it.

After watching for a while, Xie Tao noticed that the mermaid cub was swimming towards him. It stared at him for a few seconds with those beautiful blue eyes, and then suddenly raised his hand to rub his own eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xie Tao couldn't help feeling a little worried when he saw the mermaid cub suddenly started rubbing his eyes.

When Xie Tao couldn't stand it anymore and was about to pick up the cub from the pool to see what happened, he saw the cub stop rubbing his eyes, and then seemed to be holding something in his hands , carefully held it in front of him.

Because it took a long time to knead, the eye sockets were slightly red on the delicate face of the mermaid cub.

"a..." Can't speak, this mermaid cub can only vaguely make some breathing sounds from its throat, no expression can be seen on its face, but emotions can be vaguely seen in those eyes.

Holding in the hands of the mermaid cub are a few shiny particles, very small, reflecting a little light in the sunlight.

This is due to the special physique of the mermaid race. Tears can form a special spar. Some ladies like to wear jewelry made of this spar.

This kind of spar is worth money if it is said to be valuable, and it is not worth money if it is said to be worthless.The crystals produced by ordinary mermaids are completely worthless, but it is different for mermaids with supernatural powers.

The crystals produced by this mermaid cub are worthless, but this cub doesn't understand this, it just thinks that these crystals can be used as gifts for young people.

Noticing the few small crystals held by the mermaid cub, Xie Tao was stunned for a moment. While he was in a daze, the mermaid cub kept holding the things towards him, Then a single sound came out: "pa..."

This is a gift, Xie Tao realized it.So, under the watchful eyes of the cub, he took the few spars that were only the size of rice grains, and put them in his palm carefully.

"Hmm... very beautiful." Xie Tao said slowly, while thinking in his heart, he should find a small box or something to store this gift in the future.

There was still a little rest time left, Xie Tao, who had worked hard cleaning the pool, decided to go back to the staff dormitory to lie down for a while.

Originally, he only planned to sleep for half an hour, but Xie Tao felt that he had slept for a long time. In the quiet darkness, it was a particularly urgent voice next to his ear that woke him up.

"A Luan! Wake up, if you don't wake up, I'm going to call the police—"

Lu Yuan's voice.Because this voice was very familiar, Xie Tao recognized it almost immediately, but how could he hear the other party's voice?

Opening his eyes suddenly, Xie Tao saw a face with an anxious expression, and his thinking immediately froze.This place is his yard, has he traveled back again? ?

His thoughts were stuck for a few seconds. In this daze, Xie Tao suddenly remembered something... The golden light ball that forced him to pass through had told him a few words before he couldn't think conclusions.

1. Just build a link

2. It won't have much impact on his real life

These two sentences probably represent some kind of particularly important rule, and it is the kind that can be used by him.
