Bai Qingqing had gotten used to males’ recovery abilities and thus didn’t make a fuss over it like when she first came to this world.
“I disturbed his hibernation,” Muir explained things simply, then said with anticipation, “Let’s make figurines.”
Bai Qingqing glared at him helplessly, not nagging anymore, and started to talk about the preparations they had to make.
Curtis looked at them sluggishly. Although it was very warm in the room, he still felt sleepy. He wasn’t sure if it was due to psychological effects or due to his sense of the seasons.
When they started to mold the soil, Curtis joined in as well, molding his children.
Muir felt embarrassed to mold himself, so he molded little snakes too. Bai Qingqing had no choice but to mold Muir. This made him secretly feel happy for very long.
The three of them spent quite a lot of time and finally finished making a batch of finished products. Muir was tasked to send them into the stove. A strong fire continued to burn until night time, and when the figurines were taken out, they were already smooth figurines that had their surfaces melted down.
Muir carefully placed his figurine in the family portrait figurines. At that instant, he felt that his life was complete.
The little snakes grew up sturdily over the cold season, and when they turned one month old, the cold season had just ended.
A drizzle continued to fall, secretly melting the layer of snow on the ground, exposing the obvious soil color on the ground. The wilted trees also spurted out tender green sprouts, adding a hint of vitality to the air.
The little snakes left the bedroom for the second time. They sniffed the air outside and their eyes, which had been gentle for very long, once again had a hint of wilderness flashing past in them.
They instinctively wanted to return to nature, hiding in the forest where no one could find them.
Bai Qingqing sighed and beckoned to the little snakes. “Stop looking. Come with Mommy. It’s time to eat.”
Ssss~
The little snakes drew their gazes back unwillingly, wavering their bodies as they crowded by their mommy’s side.
Bai Qingqing led the little snakes to the courtyard between the stone castle and the kitchen. The courtyard was filled with evergreen plants covered in a lush green when it was just in the early Spring. It looked like the silhouette of a forest.
Chirp Chirp~
Squeak squeak~
Croak croak~
When one listened carefully, they could hear the cries of quite a lot of animals inside.
These were small-sized animals that Curtis had especially caught. Bai Qingqing was unable to accept abandoning the little snakes directly and pleaded for very long before Curtis agreed to let the little snakes learn some hunting techniques at home first. This would avoid them from starving to death or being eaten up outside.
In this one month, the little snakes had food brought to them, and it was true that they lacked hunting experience. However, when they saw the small animals that passed by them with a flash, a few of them instinctively darted out.
It was a pity that they lacked experience and couldn’t react fast enough. They could only watch as the prey ran off, hiding amidst a bush, their traces completely gone.
It wasn’t easy to find prey the size of mice and frogs in the plant-filled courtyard, either.
To let the little snakes grow a sense of danger, Bai Qingqing even called the leopard cubs over when all of the little snakes entered the courtyard.
The leopard cubs were a lot more docile and immediately ran over upon seeing that. They howled away at their mommy.
Bai Qingqing lowered her voice and said, “You guys go and bite the little snakes.”
“Howl?” The leopard cubs trembled a little. They thought of the horrible sight when the little snakes broke out from their shells and weren’t too willing to do it.
But…
This time around, the little snakes had all scattered off. There didn’t seem to be any danger to dealing with just one or two of them?
The three leopard cubs exchanged glances, exchanging information through their eyes, then smiled eerily. Howl howl howl~
Bai Qingqing threw them a strange look. Why were the leopard cubs howling so weirdly?
She then instructed, not feeling assured about this, “Be careful not to hurt them.”
