He lowered his head and whispered a few words in Qiuqiu's ear.
After saying that, Qiuqiu hesitated for a moment: "Will this really work? Will it be able to trick Liuliu into coming out?"
Xie Chiyuan smiled and said softly, "Yes."
Xie Chiyuan said, then rubbed his head again: "Alright, you should take a nap."
The fact that Liu Liu can persistently drag the mutant out every day means he's nearby. He's followed us all this way; he couldn't possibly leave suddenly.
Chirp nodded and went back into the tent.
Inside the tent.
Bazai was still in the same position as before, and he was just turning over when Qiuqiu walked in.
The ground was probably a bit hard, and Bazai was feeling uncomfortable from the pressure.
He sat up, still half asleep.
Where am I now?
The first thing Bazai asked was where he was. After seeing Qiuqiu in front of him, he looked around.
"call."
Bazai breathed a sigh of relief and climbed back onto the bedsheet: "I'm still in the tent this time!"
Chirp: "..."
He almost didn't make it.
Chiu Chiu didn't say anything, but simply lay down next to Ba Zai.
The two little ones took a nap for a while.
When it was fully light, Bazai woke up and realized something was wrong. He found some spider silk that hadn't been completely stripped away by Qiuqiu.
Although Bazai isn't very bright, he can still think of things occasionally.
He was so angry he went berserk: "It was Spider-Man! Is he crazy?! Why did he drag me out like that?!"
Even among their own offspring, Bazai would occasionally fight, let alone a little spider.
After being abandoned for several days, Ba Zai was furious: "When I see him, I'm going to break his legs!"
Chiu Chiu frowned and objected, "No!"
The little spider just threw the eight-legged creature out; it didn't even hit it.
Even the little spider shouldn't break its legs.
"Why can't I? I say yes, so I'm going to beat him up!"
When Bazai saw that Chiu Chiu still dared to defend Little Spider, his anger flared even more. When he got angry, he started to speak recklessly.
"It's just a little spider, why are you so affectionate with it!"
Bazai's words became increasingly offensive, and even Qiuqiu, who usually disliked arguing, started arguing with him.
"You can throw the little spider at him a few times, but you can't hit him. He didn't hit you!"
"Besides, you haven't even met the little spider yet. There must be a reason why the little spider abandoned you."
Chiu Chiu isn't good at arguing, and his voice isn't as loud as Ba Zai's.
The two cubs started arguing inside the tent and moved outside. Finally, their arguing was drowned out by a loud cry.
Upon hearing the crying, Yu An slapped Xie Chiyuan's face away as he leaned in.
"Stop it, I heard Chuchu crying."
Their crybaby hasn't cried for quite some time now.
I don't know what's wrong with me right now, I'm crying so loudly.
Yu An hurriedly dressed and ran out of the tent.
The other cubs were watching, but only Seven was wiping away Chou Chou's tears.
"Chirp, don't cry."
Qi Zai patiently wiped Qiu Qiu's face. Qiu Qiu didn't want him to wipe his face, but Qi Zai didn't let him do it himself.
"Your eyes will swell up when you cry. Don't rub your face with the back of your hand, or you'll make your face red."
Chiu Chiu's skin is very delicate. If he were to rub it haphazardly by himself, his face would turn red in no time.
Seven uses the best cotton handkerchiefs to wipe her face; they're soft and won't hurt her skin at all.
Bazai looked at Qiuqiu's already swollen eyes, pursed his lips, and turned his face away. He stopped saying anything that would upset Qiuqiu.
Seven was also very angry when he saw how quickly Chiu Chiu's eyes swelled up.
"You brat, why did you make him cry!"
In the past, when Bazai and Qiuqiu had conflicts, Qizai always sided with Qiuqiu. He was a fence-sitter and very biased towards Qiuqiu.
Bazai kept a straight face and didn't say a word.
Xiao Lu also came over. He looked at Qiu Qiu and gave her the candy from his pocket.
He didn't have much candy left; this was the last one.
"Chirp chirp, come here."
Yu An called Qiu Qiu over, coaxed her for a bit, and then called Ba Zai over as well.
Bazai was being stubborn for some reason, refusing to admit that he had said something wrong.
The angrier Chuchu got because of the little spider, the more upset he felt.
The two little ones have fallen into a cold war again.
Qiuqiu originally intended to follow Xie Chiyuan's instructions and be more attentive to Bazai today, preferably even more so than before.
That might lure Liu Liu out.
But to his utter surprise, before he could even take action, he and Ba Zai had a fight.
Although Bazai wouldn't admit his mistake, he still secretly found an egg outside. Applying a warm egg to the eyes can reduce swelling.
However, there were no chicken eggs outside, only a few wild eggs.
Yu An applied a compress to Qiu Qiu's eyes, but the effect wasn't very noticeable afterward.
"Chirp chirp, are we going to video chat with Wu Zai again today?"
Qiuqiu video chats with Wuzai every day, and seeing her like this today will probably worry Wuzai.
"Hmm, I'm not playing anymore."
Chiu Chiu was still tilting her head back, letting her older brother see her eyes.
After Yu An finished reading it, he touched his forehead.
"No fever, but your eyes will recover slowly."
Yu An had experience; sometimes, if a baby cries too much, it can cause a fever.
Of course, the only one who cried so much that he got a fever was actually the little one in front of him.
A long time ago, when Chiu Chiu was still quite small, the other babies would cry too, but none of them cried as much as Chiu Chiu.
If she cries too much, she will get a fever.
"Brother, I just cried a few times, I won't get a fever."
Chuchu blushed a little; he didn't want to be called a crybaby anymore.
Yu An smiled and went along with him, saying, "Okay, we don't have fevers."
They're almost at the base now, but they need to find the little spider for Chiu Chiu.
After discussing it privately, Xie Chiyuan and Yu An decided to stay another night.
at night.
Bazai slept in the same tent as Qiuqiu. Xiaolu seemed to be afraid that Qiuqiu would be made to cry by Bazai, so she also asked to sleep with Qiuqiu.
The three of them were in the tent. Ba Zai fought off his sleepiness and stayed awake for a while.
He stayed up until midnight, and when he heard no sound from Qiuqiu's side, he spoke softly, "Qiuqiu, I won't make you cry next time."
After he finished speaking, he covered his head with the blanket and didn't look at Qiuqiu.
On the other side, Chirp opened its eyes but didn't speak.
But he silently replied in his mind, "Okay."
Although Bazaar might make him cry, he's actually... a very good person.
After a while...
The breathing inside the tent gradually evened out, and a faint rustling sound, almost negligible, echoed in the darkness.
Eight-Zai was once again wrapped in spider silk, this time almost strangling him to death.
The spider silk was no longer as harmless as before; several strands had even wrapped around the neck of the eight-eyed monster.
Just as the spider silk around her neck was tightened to its maximum, "snap!"
The lights in the tent suddenly came on.
Chiu Chiu, who was still awake, stared intently at a spot a few steps away with bright eyes.
"Got you!"
As the chirping sound subsided, a spider loosened its web and turned to crawl away.
But as soon as he turned his head, he saw a pair of feet in front of him.
It was Xie Chiyuan's foot.
Xie Chiyuan stood in front of him with his arms crossed, adopting a casual posture.
"Hello, little spider."
The little spider, caught red-handed: "..."
