Lin Qiao placed a small round table carved in stone next to the nursery film, and she tried a sense of ritual that she had never had before, picking a bouquet of fresh flowers every day and putting them in a glass bottle, and sometimes moving the TV there to watch movies with the children, which has proven that their perception of the outside world is very obvious.

The same is true today.

林乔摘了五支开的正好的郁金香，上面还有早晨下过雨沾着的水珠散着一股淡淡清香。

她简单弄了一下花瓣造型，插到花瓶里，再抬头去看孩子，看来看去，她越看越觉得哪里不太对。

They have indeed grown a lot in a month, but today they are like "ocean babies" that have suddenly grown full of water, doubling in size overnight, and growing an extra tadpole-like transparent tail.

Lin Qiao thought that the remaining children were squeezed into the corner before they were fully developed, so he reached out and turned over the spheres through the thin and soft and extremely tough membrane, but after turning and counting, there were only five of the ten children left.

The number is directly halved!!

She was shocked in her heart, and shouted in a panic, "Chu Ji! Chuji! The child is gone! ”

闻声赶过来的初霁触手上还卷着几袋肥料，祂安抚好了林乔，才走过去查看那些透明卵。

Lin Qiao bit his nails nervously, "I've checked it, and there is no damage to this membrane." ”

Chu Ji looked at it and withdrew his hand, turned around and said, "It's okay dear, it's normal for the same kind to eat each other, they just eat their brothers and sisters who are not very healthy to ensure their strong growth." ”

Lin Qiao was directly shocked, "You call this thing okay?" ”

Rao is no matter how strong her psychological quality is, those ten cubs are all grown up by her every day, and sometimes they can squeeze on the membrane wall and touch her hand to interact with her, the blood is connected, and the relationship has long been getting along.

Hearing that five treasures had been eaten, Lin Qiao was immediately sad.

Chu Ji saw that her face became very bad, and immediately went over to pick her up and put her in his arms and explained in a low voice, "This is a normal law for us, fragile children are born and will only become the enemy's nutrition, and it is the nature of the blood to choose the best from them, if you really don't like it"

He paused, and offered the only compromise, "Then let's have five more, or do you want more?" ”

Lin Qiao choked on his words and didn't know what to say, looking at the five big fat children left in the membrane, she finally sighed softly.

确实，这是他们的种族天性，这种事就算不喜欢也没办法干涉。

"Don't." Lin Qiao raised his hand to touch the membrane, his face was painful, "Just don't eat your own brothers and sisters again, I will feel distressed." ”

Chu Ji immediately assured her: "No." ”

He gently stroked his lover's back, trying to dispel the faint sadness on her body, but although he comforted him every day, Lin Qiao was also depressed for half a month, and he had to glue the nursery membrane to the edge of the divine seat, ensuring that he could observe their situation at first sight every day when he got up or went to bed, and watched the child grow further without decreasing, which made him feel much better.

第二月末，每个孩子多长了7条足肢，逐渐有像初霁的模样发展，足肢出现了一层淡淡的粉红渐变色，育儿膜因为它们庞大的体积又被迫撑开胀大了一倍，那膜看着已经非常薄的一层。

Chu Ji had already told Lin Qiao that the membrane was very strong, but she was still not at ease, so Chu Ji found an old mattress and spread it underneath, and told her that she would not be injured if she accidentally fell out, which was a useless comfort, but Lin Qiao was very comfortable with this trick.

Of course, they also have a new concern.

Lin Qiao said: "It's going to be born in a month, right?" It's time to buy clothes and supplies for the children, and we are ready to go to the desert again, and by the way, bring some seafood from our sea area to Ji Qiu. ”

She hung a basket of seafood with a fishing rod, added seawater to seal it, and the children had Chu Ji's body to watch and supply nutrition, and she was very relieved to leave with Chu Ji.

However, she didn't want to stay in the desert for too long, and at most she had to go home to see her children for a week.

The barrenness has not changed much from half a year ago, Lin Qiao still stays on the same beach, and the patrol officers of the gang come up to ask for money as usual.

She exchanged some gold jewelry from the bottom of the sea for entry fees, and glanced up at the lead-gray sky, which was drizzling today, and a few jet-black clouds covered the barren half of the sky.

"It looks like it's going to rain heavily." Lin Qiao said.

The two of them entered the barren city, the buildings inside were stacked and messy, people came and went, and when they saw the new faces, they couldn't help but cast a few more pairs of eyes.

Chu Ji followed Lin Qiao with a box of aquatic products in his hand, and they first went to the tailor's shop to find Ji Qiu, and the people inside heard her intention and said: "Ji Qiu has not been in good health in the past few days and has not come to work, and Zhou Qi has clashed with people on other sites when he is on duty in the gang.

"Broken leg."

The man sighed, "Both of them are now in a state of cultivation at home, and not long ago, the family was robbed by revenge, and now they can't even buy medicine." ”

Lin Qiao frowned, knowing that in such a chaotic place as a barren area, it was reasonable for a fight to kill someone, but she still kindly went to the pharmacy, spent a lot of money to buy the medicine, and went to Ji Qiu's small courtyard with it in her hand.

门口的智能机器识别出两人，周期的声音从里面传来，“林乔？ Come on in. ”

周琦还是原来的模样，就是腿上打了石膏，坐着轮椅冲着他们微笑，眼神惊喜，“这么快就回来了？ ”

A flash of thunder flashed in the sky overhead, and muffled thunder rolled in.

Zhou Qi glanced at the top of his head, "Come in, it's going to rain." ”

The two walked into the house, probably because of Ji Qiu's illness, the house was a little messy, Zhou Qi bent down to put away the snack bag on the sofa, and said, "My legs are not very convenient now, don't mind." ”

Lin Qiao put the medicine bag on his lap, "I bought it on the road." ”

Zhou Qi was stunned, "For me?" ”

Lin Qiao nodded, "Hmm." ”

He looked down at the bag, and there was a struggle in his eyes, and only a moment later it was covered with another kind of wood, and then it was back to normal.

"Thank you."

Lin Qiao looked around, "Where is Aunt Ji?" ”

Zhou Qi: "In the room, she should be awake, you can go and have a look." ”

Lin Qiao nodded, turned his head and looked at Chu Ji, who was holding the water tank all the time, "You put the fish in the kitchen first, take it apart to see if it is dead, and if there is, take it out and throw it away." ”

Chu Ji nodded meekly, "I'll cook in the evening." ”
