Chapter 256: Peaceful...?
After dinner, He Jiaojiao put everything Ziyi had prepared into the space. Before they could leave, they heard Aman's voice.
"Jiaojiao, shall we set off now?"
Aman sat on Mishu's animal form, smiling brightly.
"Okay!"
He Jiaojiao nodded and was about to turn around to see whose beast form would be sitting today, when she saw everyone looking at her expectantly, as if being chosen was a great honor.
"what happened?"
Seeing that He Jiaojiao was still in a stalemate, Aman couldn't help but ask.
He Jiaojiao shook her head, smiled, and pointed to the bamboo bear beside her. "Azhu, can you carry me?"
Bamboo Bear was naturally extremely happy. After all, because of his animal form, Jiaojiao would never choose to have him carry her every time she went out. Unexpectedly, today, it was finally his turn.
"it is good!"
As Bamboo Bear said this, he took a few steps outside the house and then transformed into a beast form.
The others didn't say anything when they saw this, but they still had a faint smile on their faces. After all, no matter who Jiaojiao chose, her feelings for everyone were the same.
Sitting on the back of Bamboo Bear, he was just about the same height as Aman who was sitting on Michel's back, and the two chatted happily all the way.
After leaving the city, the group walked and stopped along the way, and finally saw a stream near lunchtime.
"Jiaojiao, why don't we just rest up front?"
The ink-stained snake head was raised high, the pink Sachiko swept up and down in the air, and the dark eyes were also round and pleasing, indicating that he was really relaxed now.
"Okay!"
He Jiaojiao responded cheerfully, then said to Aman beside her, "We can go play in the water up ahead."
The weather was no longer cold, and everyone had changed into lighter skins. He Jiaojiao was wearing a black snakeskin, which was light and comfortable. A Man was probably wearing a leopard hide, the pattern on it was particularly eye-catching.
The group soon reached the water's edge. He Jiaojiao pulled Ah Man to sit by the stream, and they dipped their white, tender feet into the water to play. The fish in the water seemed to have never seen such a thing before, and were attracted. They swam around their feet, tickling them and making them laugh happily.
The cubs also became very familiar with Aman's little tiger cub. They took him around in the nearby grass and had a lot of fun.
"This feels so good!"
Ah Man couldn't help but sigh. Because she didn't have many companions, she rarely had the opportunity to leave the city. Now that she was with He Jiaojiao, she had so many powerful companions and didn't have to worry about encountering danger at all, so she could relax to her heart's content.
"Then we'll hang out more often in the future."
He Jiaojiao supported herself with her hands behind her back, leaning back slightly. From this angle, the azure sky, the occasional white clouds drifting by, and the rustling of leaves in the wind created a scene of peace and tranquility.
"Ok!"
Aman also imitated He Jiaojiao and looked at the sky.
"Mom, my brother caught a strange bug!" Xikang ran over, turned into an orc, and pointed at the little tiger lying by the water not far away.
"Huh?" He Jiaojiao was puzzled. It was just catching a bug. What was there to be excited about? Why would she specially run over to tell her mother?
As the little tiger approached with the so-called insect in its mouth, He Jiaojiao finally understood why the cubs were so excited.
This is not a bug, it's a bullfrog, okay?
It's hard for the little tiger. How can he hold such an ugly thing in his mouth?
"Mom, don't look at this little thing's small size, its croaking sound is very loud!" As he said this, Xikang did not forget to imitate the sound of a bullfrog and croaked.
The other kids also started learning...
Looking at the group of chattering cubs in front of me, and then looking at Ruoxue sitting obediently on the animal hide mat beside me, I suddenly felt that female cubs are indeed quieter! The bear cubs are too noisy.
"Mom is telling you, this ugly thing is edible, and it's delicious. Do you want to help me catch some more?"
Since they are just playing anyway, it is better to let the kids play with a goal.
When the kids heard this, they instantly became excited and said, "Then let's have a competition to see who can catch more."
The three snake cubs reacted the fastest, instantly transforming back into snake form and scurrying away. Not to be outdone, Hong Yi flapped his wings and took off. Eagles have excellent vision, and he could see anything at a glance. As for Zi Su and Hong Feng, the two little foxes weren't very good swimmers, so they searched along the banks of the stream. As for Xiao Ba Yinchuan, who was still unsteady on his feet, he hopped after his brothers, but soon lost sight of them. Finally, he returned to He Jiaojiao, howling in grievance.
"Little Ba, be good. The brothers are running too fast. Go play with your sister."
Xiao Ba glanced at Sister Ruoxue who was sitting obediently on the animal skin mat, and immediately ran over happily.
Ruoxue could already crawl, but she had just sat quietly because Ziyi had made her a small grasshopper out of grass. Now that her brother came over, she decisively dropped the grasshopper in her hand and went to pet her brother.
"Ruoxue, my brother is still young, please be gentle."
He Jiaojiao knew how strong Ruoxue was, so she reminded her with a smile.
Ruoxue looked up at her mother and gave her a look to indicate that she understood, then she started teasing Xiaoba.
Xiao Ba liked Ruoxue very much, and he would endure whatever Ruoxue did to him. Suddenly, Xiao Ba's screams were heard, and He Jiaojiao was so scared that she jumped up and ran towards the two children.
"what happened?"
He Jiaojiao looked at Xiao Ba lying on the animal skin mat with his face buried under his front paws, while Ruoxue beside him also had an innocent look on his face.
"Xiao Ba, look up quickly and let mother see!"
He Jiaojiao carefully took Xiao Ba into her arms, and then pushed his front paws away. As a result... He Jiaojiao looked at Ruoxue's little hand with a helpless smile. Sure enough, there was still a tuft of Xiao Ba's hair there.
Lin Feng also walked over here. The moment he saw Xiao Ba's face, he was stunned and burst into laughter for a while.
"Hahahaha, so funny! Hahaha..."
There was an obvious bald spot on Xiao Ba's face, which was originally not very hairy. From a distance, it looked inexplicably funny.
Lin Feng laughed so hard that he fell backwards, as if Xiao Ba was not his biological son. Only when he felt that Jiao Jiao seemed a little unhappy did he quickly stop laughing.
"It's okay, Jiaojiao!" Lin Feng squatted down and took Xiao Ba out of He Jiaojiao's arms, then took a closer look. "It's just a small patch of hair that was plucked out. It will grow back in a few days."
Even so, He Jiaojiao still felt distressed. Such a large piece of hair was plucked out by Ruoxue, how painful it must be!
"Ruoxue, you are very strong, so you must be careful to control yourself, otherwise not only Xiaoba but others will get hurt too."
Ruoxue pouted and nodded. She really didn't mean it, she just pulled it lightly...
