MTL - Cub Raising Association-Chapter 5 Fifth day as a childcare worker
Having fully grasped the method of using small feeding bottles and learned how to mix rations, Xie Luan now basically lights up the skills of feeding cubs.
However, several cubs did not know what race they were. Xie Luan suddenly felt that he needed a copy of "Pup Encyclopedia" to supplement the common sense he lacked and also to understand the habits of cubs of different races.
Takila's cub lying on Xie Luan's legs was still raising her pupils and mumbling, as if she was about to fall asleep, and the amplitude of the tail swing gradually became small and small. Xie Luan's legs were actually a bit numb, but he still didn't push the cub away.
Coaxing pups to sleep is also a technical task. Pups of some races can be very noisy. It is not something that every childcare worker can do to make such pups sleep well. In the star-level assessments listed by Star League for the profession of childcare workers, coaxing cubs to sleep accounted for a certain proportion.
I have never seen this Takila cub want to sleep immediately after drinking milk. Xia Qi was a bit unresponsive at the beginning. When she looked back, she went to the young human who was still sitting cross-legged. Walked over there.
Xia Qi wanted to carry the Takira cub who had fallen asleep back to its nest, but she had just approached the squat and had not reached half her hand. The Takira cub suddenly took His eyes opened, his throat purring lower than before, and his fluffy tail behind him fluttered to the ground several times.
Unhappy makes people hug. Xia Qi knew the lonely nature of the Takira race, so she quickly retracted her hands, with a helpless expression on her face. She thought the cub was asleep, so she wanted to come and carry her back to the bed.
Since you're still awake, you can't hold it ...
"Would you like to take it back to the room over there?" Xie Luan picked up the Tachira cub who suddenly opened her eyes again, and stood up. At the same time, Xie Luan was a little bit up when she got up because she was numb. Did not stand still.
The other party has more work to do than he does, and he can do such things as carrying the cub back to his nest. Xie Luan thinks so.
"..." Xia Qi looked at the Takila cub, who was hugged by the youth but was not struggling, and behaved extremely obediently, and nodded with a slow half-beat response.
Saying that you are upset makes you hug. ? Although her inner activities were extremely rich at this time, Xia Qi still kept her steady image as much as possible.
It didn't take long to carry the Takila cub back to his nest, but when he came back, Xie Luan saw that his two colleagues seemed to be discussing the matter, and one of them turned the subject to him as soon as he saw him.
"It's my turn today, but I think it's better to familiarize the newcomers so that they can become more proficient when the next turn comes." Zhao Chuan said to the other two.
The new man was of course referring to him. Xie Luan didn't hear the previous story and didn't know what it was talking about, so he cast a questioning look at Xia Qi.
"It's nothing, just to change the water for that mermaid cub." Xia Qi shook her head at the youth. How could she not know that Zhao Chuan was just trying to be lazy, and she spoke so grandly. Now when a new colleague comes, this person wants to throw away the work he should do.
Think beautiful!
Had it not been for the fact that they had a shortage of staff in the club and could not recruit new people, Xia Qi would have told the old president about firing each other.
Apparently, the new colleague who was willing to take care of the cub was more affectionate. Xia Qi immediately raised her eyebrows and raised her face, ready to help Xie Luan to speak.
"Oh, okay." Xie Luan nodded, and simply settled the matter.
Xia Qi was stopped by the words of the youth, and he swallowed it back to his mouth. She ’s in a hurry. The new colleague is so good at talking. Do n’t you see that the other person just wants to lazily dump his work? ?
But Xie Luan certainly didn't fail to see it, but he was too lazy to argue over such a trivial matter, and he was quite willing to change the water for the mermaid cub.
Now that the young people are ready, Xia Qi is not good at saying anything about this, but she gave Zhao Chuan a cold look and said, "The materials in the club need to be replenished. I made a list and you go out in the afternoon Buy the stuff according to the list. "
After talking about Xia Qi, no matter what the other side's expression, this matter is so settled.
Change the water for the mermaid cubs-The wooden bucket is not large. In theory, changing the water is very easy. The mermaid cubs are done when they are put back.
Xie Luan picked up the small wooden bucket containing the mermaid cub, walked all the way to the bathroom and lowered it, then he began to squeeze his sleeves.
The mermaid baby in the small wooden barrel was very quiet. At least from the beginning, Xie Luan didn't hear the little sound of the cub at all, and only raised his head to observe him with those blue eyes. Still no expression.
But Xie Luan didn't mind. He squatted down and touched the mermaid baby's short blond hair first, and slightly bent his eyes to show his goodwill. Then he stretched out his hand and carefully lifted the mermaid cub out of the small wooden bucket with water.
However, since the mermaid cub that has been quite quiet just now was hugged by Xie Luan, it seems to have started some kind of instinctual struggle, presumably after leaving the water, the mermaid cub's tail began to flutter wildly. The fish tail covered with ice-blue scales repeatedly flapped on Xie Luan's clothes.
After a while, Xie Luan was thrown into the water by this mermaid cub, and his upper clothes were wet a lot.
Although this unexpected thing happened, Xie Luan was not angry, he already felt that the mermaid cub seemed to be very scared.
"Not afraid, baby." Soothing, Xie Luan speeded up the action on hand, he quickly poured the water out of the small wooden bucket, then quickly opened the water valve to hold the water, and soon let the mermaid cub holding it again. Into a watery environment.
Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the water, the mermaid cub was quiet again. Xie Luan felt that the cub was still in a frightened state, so he squatted down and patiently calmed for a while.
A few drops of water were also thrown on his face, Xie Luan didn't care, but at this time the mermaid cub looking at him with blue eyes slowly reached out his hand, about to wipe him off the water on his cheek.
Even if it was just a cub, the mermaid cub remembered that the two nurses who had changed its water before were very upset and unhappy about being thrown into the water.
But the hand of the mermaid cub was wet. The more she rubbed, the more water on Xie Luan's face. Xie Luan didn't blame, just touched the mermaid's cub's head, and finally, he finally raised his hand to wipe his face, and then went out holding the small bucket with good water.
Seeing that the young man was getting a lot of wet shirts, Xia Qi looked at the mermaid cub quietly staying in a small wooden barrel, and could not help saying, "Don't blame it, this mermaid cub is just too scared, so it will ... ... "
It wasn't that he deliberately wanted to throw the babysitter into the water, but in shock, the pup couldn't control his behavior.
"The mermaid race can't leave the water for too long during the cub period. You should also know that when someone picked up the mermaid cub in the waste field, the cub was almost dehydrated to death." Xia Qi said, her expression implied, "Fortunately, the person who picked up the mermaid cub first put it back into the water, and it was lucky to survive."
The reason why a cub was picked up in Gaia's abandoned yard is of course because the parents intentionally abandoned it. The planet where the mermaid race lives is not close to Gaia, and deliberately ran to a distant planet to abandon the cub. Xia Qi thought that the parents of this mermaid cub really really hated the child. As for the reason—
"This cub can't speak ..." is a congenital defect, Xia Qi paused, and said, "But if the adult is angry, it will feel it, then it will be more afraid."
Can't speak? Xie Luan was stunned. He had thought that this mermaid cub was a little too quiet, but he didn't expect it to be this way.
"I'm not angry." Xie Luan shook her head, then said with a smile: "Being a childcare worker can't be unhappy because of the little things that get wet by the pups, that's too unqualified."
Xia Qi felt relieved when she heard the words, "That's good."
The mermaid race uses singing as a medium of power. This is the racial character of the mermaid. A mermaid cub that cannot speak can be said to represent the possibility of not mastering the power.
But can this congenital defect be determined by the cub itself? Xia Qi can never understand the parents who would abandon her cub because of this kind of thing. She even feels angry. This mermaid cub was left alone in the abandoned field. Because of dehydration, she continued to struggle with pain. How much will this cub Scared, has anyone thought of dropping it? !!
Just thinking about it that way, Xia Qi felt that she was going to get angry again, and she was so angry—
The cubs were brought back to the nest to sleep, and the nurses also ushered in a short period of rest, but Xie Luan didn't go to rest. He went out to the courtyard outside the house and found the former Lin Yikou Center. That pool.
Although the other party said the pool was unusable, Xie Luan decided to come and see for himself.
The pool is not far from the house. If you go out through the side door, you can see it within a few steps. Xie Luan glanced over, this pool was indeed dried up, as Lin Yi said, and the bottom of the pool was covered with leaf dust.
The pool is circular, about one meter deep. At the bottom of the pool is a thing that looks like a large Rubik's cube. Xie Luan thinks this should be a circulation device.
Li Luo jumped off the bottom of the pool, Xie Luan approached the device, squatted down, and knocked on it with his hands.
The circulation device is broken. As an earth person living in the 21st century, Xie Luan is quite rude to the high-tech products of the world here.
"What can you do to get this circulation device back to work?" Xie Luan poked at the golden ball of light floating around her, asking with little hope.
This golden ball has not disappeared, it should mean that the opponent has not given him real final guidance. Xie Luan also remembers that this golden ball cannot communicate with him, so he just asked such questions during the thinking process.
Unsurprisingly, the golden light ball did not respond at all, Xie Luan still had to rely on himself.
It's impossible to find someone to repair, nor can it be replaced by a new circulation device. Xie Luan is still very conscious of the economic situation of their cub care club. To solve the problem, we can only start with this existing circulation device.
From the appearance of the circulation device, there is no damage. If the appearance is broken, Xie Luan may have to give up, but the appearance is intact, which makes Xie Luan a little hope.
Theoretically speaking, this is the interstellar age, and high-tech products should be very durable, right ... Now that the whole is still intact, maybe this circulation device is just a little bug like "poor contact"?
At this time, Xie Luan remembered the computer that his family suddenly couldn't turn on at the beginning, and it was just fine after he beat the host computer-now, the dead horse is also a live horse doctor.
"Resume operation soon—" Xie Luan slammed his sleeves, beating against the large Rubik's cube-like circulation device. I don't know what material this loop device is made of, anyway, it was snapped by Xie Luan.
It took about a minute to shoot, and suddenly a voice rang out in this empty courtyard.
"beep."
With this sound, the top of the large Rubik's cube lights up, flashing a string of unclear data quickly, and the last remaining blue light representing the startup state is slightly on.
It was too late to be happy, almost at the same moment when the circulation device resumed operation, Xie Luan suddenly felt a feeling of mental fatigue, which made him unable to raise his hand to support his forehead, closed his eyes and waited for the strange feeling to pass. .
Really obedient to him? I didn't expect that the broken jar could really have this result. Xie Luan blinked to confirm that the little blue dot on the device was really lit, and then stood up.
The process is not important, what is important is the result. Now that the circulation device is ready, as long as he clears the bottom of the pond again, he can immediately change the living environment of the mermaid cub ...
Although this pool is not large, compared with small wooden barrels, it must be very spacious. Perhaps in this relatively free environment, mermaid cubs will feel more secure.
It's not easy to clean up the pool, but it can always be done with effort. Xie Luan has been busy here for hours, and finally has a clean pool.
Filling the pool with water, Xie Luan went back to the room to tell Xia Qi about it, and in the eyes of the latter's eyes stared out, holding a small wooden bucket containing a mermaid cub.
"I'm sorry baby, I can't get you a sea, but this pool should be better than a wooden bucket." Xie Luan said, and took the mermaid cub out of the small bucket into the pool.
The mermaid cub who changed the 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 bear to try to swim around. After adapting, the cub tried to dive Into the water.
Water is everywhere, and there is nothing more secure for a mermaid cub than this.
Xie Luan squatted by the pool and looked at it. Seeing that the mermaid was well adapted, and seemed to like the appearance of the pool, he followed with a smile.
After looking for a while, Xie Luan found that the mermaid cub was swimming towards him, first stared at him with those blue and beautiful eyes for several seconds, then suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this mermaid cub suddenly rubbing his eyes, Xie Luan couldn't help feeling a little worried.
When Xie Luan couldn't stand and was about to pick up the cub from the pool to see what happened, he saw the mermaid cub stopped rubbing his eyes, and then his hands seemed to be holding something , Carefully holding him in front of him.
Because the rubbing time was a little long, the eyes of the mermaid cub's delicate face were slightly red.
"A ..." couldn't speak. The mermaid cub only murmured from his throat. No expression was seen on his face, but emotions could be seen in those eyes.
In the hands of the mermaid's cub, there were a few shiny particles, very small, reflecting a little light in the sun.
This is due to the special constitution of the mermaid race. Tears can form a special spar, and some noble ladies will like to wear jewelry made from this spar.
This kind of spar is valuable as well as valuable. The spar made by ordinary mermaids is completely worthless, but the powerful mermaid is not the same.
The spar made by this mermaid cub is worthless, but this cub doesn't understand it, it just thinks that these spar can be used as a gift to the youth.
Noting the few small spar held by the mermaid cub, Xie Luan took a sip first. During the period when he was holding it, the mermaid cub just held things to him, Then a single tone was issued: "pa ..."
This is a gift, Xie Luan realizes it. So under the gaze of this cub, he took the few spar, which was only the size of rice grains, and gathered it in his palm.
"Well ... beautiful." Xie Luan said slowly, thinking by the way, he should find a small box or something to save the gift afterwards.
With some rest time left, Xie Luan, who had worked hard to clean up the pool, decided to lie down in the staff quarters.
Originally only intended to sleep for half an hour, Xie Luan felt that he had fallen asleep for a long time. In the quiet darkness, a particularly urgent voice in his ear woke him up.
"Aluan! You wake up, I'll call the police if I don't wake up—"
Lu Yuan's voice. Because the voice was so familiar, Xie Luan recognized it almost immediately, but how could he hear each other's voice?
Suddenly his eyes opened, Xie Luan saw a face with an anxious expression, and his thoughts were suddenly jammed. This place is the yard of his house. Did he cross back again? ?
Thinking was stuck for a few seconds. In this god, Xie Luan suddenly realized something after he realized ... The golden light ball that forced him to pass through had told him two words that he couldn't think. Come to a conclusion.
1. Just build a link
2. Will not have much impact on his real life
These two sentences probably represent some kind of particularly important rules, and they can be used by him.
