Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The news of the victory blew like a spring breeze at every ant in the entire Red Root tribe.

Tonight, no one sleeps.

……

An ant's nest, a certain secret room.

Queen Redroot smiled and looked up at the sky.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.

Isn't it an ant?

The queen's mood is like the moon tonight!

And the four daughters standing respectfully behind him: Bazhi Lychee Iron Flower Jasmine, are also much more pleasing to the eye than usual.

Especially the girl Ant Jasmine.

The more I look at it, the more I like it!

If it weren't for the strange guests she brought in, even if she won the battle against the ghouls, she would have been devastated, and some of her children would have been trampled to death in her own warm home......

It's all my own heart, as a mother, I almost shed tears on the moon tonight.

Thankfully, God is merciful!

Thanks to the strange human worms that Jasmine Girl got acquainted with, she not only helped them kill Frog Wuji, beat the crippled bugs, and tortured the pit king Frog Ni to kill, but this time it was even more powerful, and played a key role in turning defeat into victory in the Ghoul War.

I heard that they will shine again?

Could it really be the legendary fireflies?

The more the queen thought about it, the more energetic she became, considering that they had injuries to nurse, otherwise she really wanted to summon these magical guests at once and get a glimpse of the true face.

Regardless of whether they are legendary fireflies or not?

They are all "blessing insects" that bring a long way to the tribe.

……

"Child, come here, let my mother see your injuries. ”

The queen turned and gently took Jasmine in her arms, and lovingly caressed the girl's tentacles and head.

Seeing that Ant Lychee and Ant Tiehua were envious, they also wanted to throw themselves into their mother's arms and roll around.

Even the unsmiling ant Bazhi suddenly had a trace of long-lost tenderness beating in his heart, but it was quickly snuffed out by the coldness in his eyes.

"Thank you, Queen, I'm fine. ”

Ant Jasmine's face was flushed, and she snorted.

said that she hadn't been held in her mother's arms like this for a long time, and a warmth of reunion after a long absence spread from her heart...... It feels so good!

"You kid, call mother!"

The queen deliberately straightened her face and flicked the jasmine with her fingers.

Ant Jasmine gently looked up at her mother's kind face, like looking up at a bright moon, and was about to speak happily.

"Ahem!"

I heard a cold, familiar cough.

The ant branch on the side seems to have caught a cold.

Ant Jasmine glanced at the dean, her neck shrunk, like a frightened bird, and immediately broke free from the arms of the queen mother, lowered her horns and eyes, stood aside, and immediately became a well-behaved student.

"Bazhi, if you have a cold, you can go back first!"

Queen Redroot's voice was a little hard, she was suppressing her anger, today was a good day, she didn't want to be angry.

Ant Bazhi hesitated, and stopped talking.

The queen turned and looked up at the moon again.

She didn't want to face Antbazhi's face, and found that she hated her oldest daughter more and more.

Once, among millions of children, she liked this daughter the most, and there was no one.

At that time, she was so kind, so innocent, so sensible, so smiling like a spring breeze!

And now, how did this kid become so mean, so rigid, so cold as autumn frost. Now not only do I never call her mother, but I also don't allow other sisters to call her.

The maids and the other children said they had never seen this guy smile. The queen didn't believe it at first, but after time to prove it, she finally had to believe it.

……

The queen looked up to the sky and sighed slightly.

What was it about her that had changed so much? and made her mother so sick of her?

The queen bowed her head.

I think of a sad past of Ant Bazhi.

In the leafcutter ant tribe, no matter how high your position is, any worker ant has absolutely no fertility and reproductive rights, which is determined by the genes and family rules passed down from generation to generation of their ant family.

No one, including the Queen, can change this cruel fate.

However, whether it is a human or an animal, it is a woman, and there is an instinctive maternal love.

Since you can't have children, you dedicate your mother's love to your younger brother (prince) and sister (princess, worker, soldier).

Because Queen Honggen was sad about the prince's short-lived cup after marriage, she had deliberately not given birth to a prince for several generations, and she didn't want her son to be like her husband, like the morning dew, and take a day trip after marriage.

She was also sad that the princess became a widow immediately after marriage, so her princess didn't want to have more children, and only three were born in this generation, and one was missing.

The princess was raised by the queen herself, and all the other worker ants and soldier ants were entrusted to their older sisters from an early age.

As a result, many worker ant sisters who want to have children but can't have children have selflessly dedicated their overflowing maternal love to their young sisters.

This makes nursery nurseries the most sought-after and sought-after careers for worker ant sisters after graduating from college.

The loving Ba Zhi was the most active one back then, and the young worker she adopted was called Ant Lemon Flower, and the sisters often saw Ba Zhi holding the lemon flower in her arms like a treasure all day long. Xiaomeng Xiaomeng kept screaming, eating and sleeping together, and they were inseparable for 24 hours.

But in the end, Xiaomeng died.

On the first day of internship, he was trampled to death by a wild monkey running by.

When the sisters returned Xiaomeng's body to Bazhi, she passed out on the spot, and when she woke up, she hugged Xiaomeng's body and cried in the cemetery for three days and three nights.

After that, her smile became less and less, and her words became less and less, and the enthusiastic sisters once introduced other young children to her to raise, but as soon as Xiaomeng left, she seemed to take away her love, not only did she not appreciate it, but also quarreled with her sisters, and never set foot in the nursery room.

The queen saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart.

In order to distract her emotions and alleviate her grief, she was appointed as the steward of the worker ants and the director of survival, hoping that the heavy work would make her forget the sorrow in her heart, no longer be weak for her feelings, and become strong.

But what I never expected was.

Bazhi now seems to have eased his sorrow, but he has also completely changed, becoming so cold and ruthless.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but wonder if her decision to let Bazhi be the head steward was right or wrong?

She'd rather have a loving weak Bazhi.

I don't want a ruthless strong Bazhi.

……

remembered Xiaomeng's matter.

The queen fell into a deep remorse:

When Xiaomeng was originally arranged, Bazhi begged him overnight to let Xiaomeng go out when she was older, or stay in the ant nest to work and never go out.

And his answer at the time was: Everyone must learn to grow up, Xiaomeng is his daughter, and she is an ordinary worker ant in the tribe.

I still remember that Ba Zhi's back was so sad when she left, and the queen's heart was stabbed by that desolate back at this moment!

Thinking about the beginning, my routine standard answer was really a bit cold! It invisibly broke the heart of a "mother" who doted on her children.

Later, after Xiaomeng's accident, she once went to visit Ant Bazhi who was lying on the ground without eating or sleeping for several days.

comforted her and said: She loses thousands of children every day, and if she is as emotional as her, she will not be able to live for a long time......

After a long time, Bazhi replied in a very light and light voice:

You can have hundreds of millions of children.

And I only have one lemon.

Then he turned around and ignored her.

The queen stood speechless.
