Chapter 88: Water Ducks

The long-distance bumps made it very uncomfortable for Yubao to stay in a small bucket for four or five days in a row.

When Lana scooped up Yu Bao from the bucket, Yu Bao, who was originally lying on his back and looked unenergetic, quickly raised his head and looked around.

The water vapor blown by the autumn wind made Yubao feel a different place, and he looked around, and soon saw the lake in the distance in the gap between the figures and cars in the way.

Lolita and Sophie approached and looked at the strange creature curiously.

"Is this a fish treasure?" Lolita looked at the little one, who looked like a child, and reached out and tapped on Yubao's smooth-looking skin.

Lolita's fingers touched the soft, fluffy skin and found it very pleasant to the touch.

Yu Bao looked at the children he didn't know, and then looked at the water in the distance, and began to "swim" towards the water surface with his body constantly shaking.

The little nun held the fish treasure and didn't let it jump down, and quickly reassured: "This is Sister Sophie, this is Lolita." ”

Yubao didn't react to Sophie and Lolita's presence, still shaking his legs and trying to go down.

Tim took the initiative to say: "Let's take Yubao to play in the water, let's go find the eggs, there are no snakes in the water here, right?" ”

Tim looked at Sophie with some concern.

Sophie quickly assured: "There are no snakes, this is far from the waterfall, and there are no big fish in the water that eat meat, nothing happens." ”

Several girls, large and small, quickly approached the lake.

There are many dry reeds around the lake, and the water here is directly illuminated by the sun, which makes it feel a bit dazzling at first glance.

Fortunately, the white clouds in the sky soon blocked the light, making the surroundings soften again.

Xiao Yubao quickly landed on the rock, ran to the water's edge with his legs and lay down, his careful frog-like palm on the water's surface.

The water here is not warm, and Yubao does not like this kind of unhot water very much.

But I haven't been in the water to play for a long time, and after hesitating for a few seconds, Yubao still tried to put his feet into the somewhat cold water.

In fact, colder water is acceptable, but after getting used to the hot water in the castle, Yubao doesn't like cold water.

A little unaccustomed to it was quickly adapted to the inertia of the bloodline, and Yu Bao quickly forgot about the water temperature and began to swim slowly in this quiet lake.

Its body resembles that of a crocodile, swinging in the water like a lizard.

For more than half a year in the monastery, Yu Bao's body was always trapped in a small tank, and he could only dive and float every day, and when he reached the castle's large pool, Yu Bao automatically mastered the technique of swimming in the wide water without learning.

The castle's pool is still too small, and now Yubao has entered a wider body of water, and there is no need to turn in circles and turns, as long as he shakes his body at will, he can quickly swim far away.

Its body and blood are all born for the wider and deeper sea, and it can adapt to the more moody winds and waves, rather than spending its life in a water tank.

The little nun saw that Yu Bao ran away a few times as soon as he got out of the water, and shouted loudly: "Yu Bao! Fish Treasure! ”

Lolita said nonchalantly, "It's okay, Heidi can find things in the water, and there are crows in the sky to find things, let's row a boat to find the eggs." ”

Tim comforted, "We'll row a boat to find Yubao, and Yubao will be back soon, maybe to find his master." ”

Sophie said, "Don't worry, it's all our territory. ”

"Hmm!" The little nun was a little relieved, because Lawrence had entered the lake, and the little nun was relieved about the area.

The girls entered the lake in a heavy boat made of reeds, and after Sophie rowed the boat with her oars, the boat approached the reeds in the distance.

"Waterfowl like to nest in the deep reeds, and there are plenty of eggs to pick up in them."

Tim wondered, "Won't we fall into the water when we go in?" ”

"No, it won't." Sophie, as a big sister, tells them about this place while rowing a boat.

"Waterfowl make their nests out of grass and branches, and this nest does not sink unless it is submerged for a long time, because of the accumulation of all kinds of bird droppings and birds' nests, and the reeds in the reeds grow very tall, and the water surface seems to solidify."

Tim happily said, "When I was a kid, I used to go to the chicken coop to pick up eggs! ”

"Me too!" The little nun was also happy, "There are too many chickens there, I heard that there are more chickens now, and I use several mountains to raise chickens!" ”

While a few people were chatting, Sophie soon discovered the traces of Yubao.

"Look, Yubao is back."

The little nun looked quickly, and Sophie's guidance found the shadow approaching in front of the ship.

Yu Bao raised his head from the water, looked at a few people on the boat, and then dived nearby to play.

The little nun quickly shouted when Yu Bao came out of the water again: "Yu Bao, let's go play in the reeds over there, don't run too far!" ”

Yu Bao looked at the position of the little nun's finger and quickly swam over first.

The water is very wide, and Yubao has not yet found the edge of the edge, but he loves the feeling of not being able to see the edge.

Although it looks like a deep-sea fish, its preference for warm areas makes it dislike to be active in cool deep waters, and mostly swims in clear water areas close to the surface.

After making sure that Yubao would not run away, the little nun went with Lolita and the others to collect the eggs.

When the boat approached the thick reeds, the little nun said in fear: "Won't the birds here scratch us by the hair?" ”

Sophie smiled and said, "No, the waterfowl of this season have all flown away one after another, and they will not come back until next spring, and the eggs left now are the ones that will not hatch." ”

As soon as the girls approached the reeds, the waterfowl flew up and shouted in the air and made a chaotic chirping.

The climate here is not yet cold to a certain extent, and there are still many waterfowl in the water meadows here foraging and frolicking to raise their offspring.

When food runs out and water levels begin to drop, the waterfowl will fly out of the area with young birds that can travel long distances and return next spring.

It's very quiet, the food isn't plentiful, but there are not too many predators, and the climate and environment are suitable for these birds to survive and reproduce, give birth and hatch young.

Most animals don't have that sense of punctuality, and many birds, like novice farmers, miss the best time to lay eggs for a variety of reasons.

Some waterfowl that do not have the ability to fly long distances die on the road, while others spend too much time getting the opportunity to breed, so the eggs have to leave halfway through hatching.

This kind of thing is very common in nature, but it is not a bad thing for the little girls, who soon pick up a few nests, collect blue and white eggs, and a few ducklings that can't fly.

Lolita even used her ability directly to land a few flying waterfowl on the water's surface.

After collecting enough eggs and waterfowl meat, the little nun shouted, "Fish treasure! We went back! ”

Yu Bao, who was swimming nearby, quickly turned around, and his supple body soon came to the side of the boat, revealing his cute little head.

Lolita saw that Yubao had come out and generously released a bird's nest to float on the water.

"Yubao, this is for you to eat."

There were two eggs in the nest and two water ducks that kept shouting.

Yu Bao had never seen such a strange creature before, and curiously floated on the surface of the water to look at the birds in the nest.

"Chirp~Chirp!" The water duck barked in a panic at the fish treasure.

Yu Bao looked curiously, and soon found that the two ducklings were flustered and spread their immature wings in the nest, and after a while, they ran to the edge of the nest.

Yu Bao quickly reached out and caught a duckling, and curiously touched the duckling's fluffy head.

Another duckling fell into the water, and Yu Bao quickly put a duckling in the bird's nest when he saw this, and raised the bird's nest with both hands to find the duckling who fell into the water.

It was obviously not the first time that the duckling had gone into the water, and quickly floated out of the water, its wings firmly attached to its side, and swam around in the water.

After seeing the swimming duckling, Yu Bao put the bird's nest in the water again, ignoring the eggs in the bird's nest, and swam directly towards the boat.

Just a few seconds out, Yu Bao found that the two ducklings behind him were about to run into the reeds, and quickly swam back and put the two ducklings in front of him and hugged them with both hands, and then stepped on the water and took the two ducklings to swim in the water.

Slowly, the two water ducks began to consciously swim around in the water with Yubao. (End of chapter)
