Chapter 215 The Difficult Estrus Period
Chapter 215 The Difficult Estrus Period
By the time He Jiaojiao woke up, it was completely dark. She'd originally thought, "It's just my period, how uncomfortable can it be?" Only then did she realize how uncomfortable females in the animal world can be during estrus. Not only did she experience unbearable abdominal pain and a general sense of weakness, but even breathing felt exhausting.
Looking at He Jiaojiao whose face turned pale, Mo Ran's eyes showed a trace of heartache, and he withdrew his hand that was transmitting energy to He Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao, how do you feel?"
He Jiaojiao forced a smile, "I'm fine."
Hearing that He Jiaojiao had woken up, Ziyi immediately brought hot soup upstairs. Today's soup was very different from the previous ones. Zhuxiong had added some medicinal herbs that were good for the female body. Although the taste might be affected to a certain extent, it was good for Jiaojiao after all.
He Jiaojiao fiddled with it and found that there were many more medicinal herbs in the bowl. She immediately realized that it must have been put there by Bamboo Bear.
"Jiaojiao, Zhuxiong said that you should drink this soup while it's hot so that you will feel more comfortable." Ziyi squatted beside him, his face full of worry.
He Jiaojiao was helped up by Mo Ran and leaned on him. Then Zi Yi hurriedly got up, holding the bowl and carefully fed He Jiaojiao soup.
It was the first time that He Jiaojiao was taken care of like this. Although she felt uncomfortable physically, she felt warm in her heart.
Although He Jiaojiao felt that she had no appetite at all, she still forced herself to drink half a bowl of soup, and then shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to drink it anymore.
Seeing that He Jiaojiao's appetite had dropped significantly, Ziyi was very worried. "Jiaojiao, is there anything you want to eat? Tell me and I'll make it for you. How can you eat so little?"
He Jiaojiao shook her head. "I have no appetite. When I get better, let Ayi make me some delicious food, okay?"
Zi Yi nodded, but couldn't laugh. He knew Jiaojiao must be very uncomfortable, but even so, she was still comforting herself, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"I want to sleep a little longer."
Just by listening to the sound, you can tell how weak He Jiaojiao is now. Mo Ran quickly helped He Jiaojiao lie down.
After a while, He Jiaojiao fell into a deep sleep again.
Seeing this, Ziyi sighed slightly, took the bowl and went downstairs.
"How's Jiaojiao?"
The five people downstairs, plus Yuan, all gathered towards Ziyi. They originally wanted to go in to see Jiaojiao, but they were worried that it would disturb Jiaojiao's rest.
"Jiaojiao has fallen asleep!"
Zi Yi still had half of the soup left in the bowl, and everyone saw it, and the worry in their eyes became even stronger.
When everyone was at a loss, suddenly there was a loud cry of a baby. Everyone then remembered that there was a baby crying for food here!
But Jiaojiao's current condition makes it impossible for her to feed the cub.
"There's another solution!" Bamboo Bear suddenly spoke up, and the others looked over at him. "We can go out and catch a bleating sheep or a mooing cow that's just given birth. Then the baby can drink its milk."
Everyone's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea.
Ziyi couldn't sit still. Ruoxue's crying almost broke his heart. He immediately handed Ruoxue to Zhuxiong and said, "Look after Ruoxue. I'll go out and catch her now."
The others were not idle either. In order to let Ruoxue drink milk earlier, they all went out, even Yuan followed.
Zhu Xiong held Ruoxue helplessly. Although he was a witch doctor, he had never taken care of a cub, let alone a female one.
When Xiangxiang arrived, she saw Zhuxiong standing at the door, holding Ruoxue in his arms, stiff and looking out from time to time, as if waiting for someone. Ruoxue in his arms occasionally cried softly, making Zhuxiong even more anxious.
"what happened?"
Xiangxiang hurried over and took Ruoxue from Zhuxiong.
"Jiaojiao is in heat and can't feed her cubs. The others have gone out to look for wild animals that have just given birth, but it's been so long and they haven't come back yet."
Xiangxiang is a female after all. She held Ruoxue skillfully and coaxed her softly.
She finally stopped crying, but after a while, Ruoxue started sobbing again.
Looking at Ruoxue who looked like a kitten, Xiangxiang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Why are these beasts so unreliable?"
Bamboo Bear waved his hand. "The cold season has just passed. Although the wild animals have already come out, it's not easy to find those that have just given birth. It will definitely take some time."
As he was speaking, he saw several figures approaching from a distance.
When people came closer and saw clearly what kind of beast was tied behind them, Xiangxiang couldn't help but take several steps back.
"Bamboo Bear, do you think this is okay?"
Ziyi asked anxiously. They searched several nearby forests before finding a mother beast whose cub had just died. Thinking that Ruoxue could drink milk as soon as possible, they hurriedly brought her back.
Bamboo Bear looked at the tied-up lion with some embarrassment and nodded with difficulty, "That should be possible."
Ziyi hurriedly stood up, trying to take Ruoxue from Xiangxiang and let Shizi feed her. However, Chiyan saw this and angrily gave Ziyi a slap on the face.
"Are you stupid? Can't you just squeeze out the milk and feed it to Ruoxue with a spoon?"
This is the first time I have seen a father beast let his child lie on the beast to drink milk. It really makes people wonder if Ziyi has no brains.
Zi Yi suddenly realized what was going on and hurriedly took the bowl. After using his supernatural powers to disinfect the bowl, he reached out to squeeze the milk.
But Ziyi is good at cooking, but asking him to milk the cows is really too difficult for him.
Seeing that Ziyi hadn't squeezed out any milk for a long time, Chi Yan sighed, stepped forward, snatched the bowl from Ziyi's hand, pushed him to the side, and then began to squeeze the milk seriously.
I have to say that Ziyi is very capable. In a short while, he squeezed out a big bowl of milk.
Xiangxiang hurriedly held Ruoxue and sat down, letting Ziyi feed the baby milk one spoonful at a time.
At the beginning, perhaps because the milk tasted different, Ruoxue refused to drink it. But in the end, she probably couldn't bear it anymore and finally started to drink the milk obediently.
Only after drinking more than half of the bowl of milk did Ruoxue tilt her head and fall asleep.
Seeing Ruoxue finally fall asleep, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should we do with this lion?" Zi Yi looked at the lion that was growling and struggling from time to time, worried that it would not be a good idea to keep it tied up like this. If it died, the cub would have no milk to drink.
Bamboo Bear walked forward, stretched out his hand and continuously catalyzed the wood-type ability in his body. After a while, a wooden cage appeared.
Several people untied the lion and threw it into the cage. As soon as it entered the cage, the lion suddenly let out a huge roar, and the next second, Zi Yi stepped forward to cover it.
That's right, just grab the lion's upper and lower jaws with your hands and close them manually.
"Don't make any noise. If you wake up Ruoxue and Jiaojiao, I will definitely skin you alive."
