At breakfast time, Lai Fu, who had gone out to play early in the morning, appeared in the kitchen on time.
"You have a good nose. You never miss mealtime." Mother Xiao took the prepared breakfast out of the pot and walked towards the kitchen table. Lai Fu was wagging his tail at Mother Xiao's feet and circling around her feet.
"Don't trip me, go away." Mother Xiao put down her breakfast and went to get the dishes. Looking at Lai Fu who kept circling around her feet, she suddenly saw that Lai Fu seemed to have a white round object in his mouth.
"What's that in your mouth? Spit it out. Don't eat anything random." Mother Xiao wiped her hands, opened Lai Fu's mouth, and saw a white egg inside.
"So this is what Lai Fu found as a snack today?" The family looked around at the egg.
"It doesn't look like a duck egg. It's bigger than duck egg white and duck egg. Can I eat it?" Father Xiao picked up the egg and knocked it against his bowl.
When Xiao's mother saw it, she quickly snatched the egg away. How could she do such a thing? Who knew if it was edible?
"This egg is quite hard and can't be broken." Father Xiao touched his nose. The force he used just now was actually quite strong. If it were an ordinary chicken or duck egg, it would have been broken long ago. It was obvious that this was no ordinary egg.
"Why don't you return it?" Xiao's mother called Lai Fu over and stuffed the egg back into his mouth, telling him to return the egg to where he had picked it up. Lai Fu just stupidly held the egg in his mouth and watched Xiao's mother wagging her tail.
Xiao Bai looked at her mother, who kept nagging Lai Fu to return the egg, and then looked at Lai Fu, who was drooling because of the egg in his mouth. She frowned and took a step back in disgust. She didn't want to eat it even if it was a duck egg. She was disgusted.
Dad Xiao looked at the edge of the bowl where he had just cracked the egg, then looked at the egg in Lai Fu's mouth, and the saliva on the ground that could be pulled into threads. He then thought about how Lai Fu had brought the egg back with him. Dad Xiao looked at the unfinished rice in the bowl and suddenly lost his appetite. He quietly stepped back and fed the rice in the bowl to the chickens.
Mother Xiao communicated with Lai Fu for a long time but to no avail, so she could only let Lai Fu hold the egg in his mouth. Well, let him do whatever he wants.
Lai Fu seemed to have noticed everyone's disdain for the eggs he picked up, so he no longer insisted on giving the eggs to Mother Xiao, but quietly took the eggs back to his own nest.
From that day on, Lai Fu's regular activities, in addition to going out for a walk every morning, picking up things to take home, and walking Xiao Dad with Xiao Guaiguai in the morning to practice flying with people, also included the work of hatching eggs in the afternoon. Oh, it is really a busy dog.
At first, Mother Xiao was wondering why Lai Fu always stayed in the nest and didn't come out in the afternoon. He used to play outside at this time, but now he suddenly became quiet. At first, Mother Xiao thought he was sick, but after observing him for a few days, she found that he could eat and sleep, and play as usual in the morning, but would go back to the nest in the afternoon. She dug into Lai Fu's nest and found that he had been incubating eggs.
Mother Xiao...Okay, as long as it is happy.
The days passed one by one, and through daily training, Dad Xiao became better and better at controlling the queen bee's flight. Without the need for Lai Fu to bite the safety rope, he could also command the queen bee Xiaoguaiguai to fly short distances. This made Dad Xiao very happy, and he took Xiaoguaiguai outside to fly and play every day.
At first, when Dad Xiao was practicing, he knew to find a deserted place, such as a deserted road or river. Gradually, Dad Xiao began to let himself go and was almost hit by villagers several times. Fortunately, he was not flying very high at that time, so he was not discovered. Angry, Mom Xiao grabbed Dad Xiao's ear and scolded him severely, saying that she knew he was showing off, but he should also be more responsible. Fortunately, the place we live is remote and there are not many people around. If someone saw it, they would spread rumors. Why don't you be quiet or show off in a deserted place?
Father Xiao thought, what's the point of showing off if no one sees it? Although he thought so in his heart, he kept agreeing with it.
At the back of Xiaojia Village, the village chief, leaning on a cane and carrying a food box, walked step by step into a stone cave halfway up the mountain. This stone cave was built by villagers in the past to store food and prevent bandits. The cave is relatively remote, with a small entrance and a semicircular arch inside. Both sides of the cave are built with blue bricks against the stone walls. In the innermost part, there is a small wooden bed, on which sits a blind old woman covered with a small blanket. If Xiao Bai were here, he would probably be very surprised. Isn't this the rumored deceased Granny Liu?
"I'm sorry to trouble you, old man." The village chief placed the lunch box on the small table next to the wooden bed. "If you need anything, please tell me immediately and I'll have them deliver it."
"There's nothing wrong with that. In the hot summer, it's much cooler to live here than in my shabby house. You're so old, how come you came up here by yourself? Just ask the young people to bring it over." Granny Liu fumbled to open the lunch box and instructed as she took out the food:
"Has the village already reached a consensus on what to say to the outside world?"
The village chief helped to arrange the dishes on the table and put the bowl of rice into Grandma Liu's hands.
"I've followed your instructions. I've told you that you've already been there. Anyone in the village who saw the debris has privately informed me. I also had people bury the craters that were created by the debris that hit the neighboring hills overnight. They dug up a lot of dirt and spread some grass on top to hide the burn marks. I've also had people try to get back any children in the village who are away from home, attending school or working."
"Well, we need to control it. Don't let those loudmouths talk nonsense and bring disaster! I heard that a lot of strangers came into the village a few days ago?"
"Yes, they were trying to get information about you and the fragments. Several groups of people have been to the ancient temple. There was such a big commotion there at the time that some people were quick to speak out, so they didn't keep it secret."
"It's okay. I've been there a long time ago and there won't be any problem. We can just fool them. They won't find any traces even if we go there, so we can just let them think that the villagers are bragging. By the way, this is for you." Grandma Liu took out a book from under her pillow and handed it to the village chief.
"Here, it's time for the young people to learn what our ancestors have passed down. This is all I can do for the young people with my old bones."
The village chief took the book and looked at Granny Liu’s increasingly gray hair: “Thank you for your hard work.”
Granny Liu sighed, "The disaster is coming, it's inevitable. All I can do is delay it as much as possible, so that the villagers won't appear before them for a long time, giving the young people a chance to grow up quickly. They have to learn to protect themselves as soon as possible. A bigger disaster will come sooner or later. This is a disaster for all of humanity on Blue Planet. I don't know if another person like the one from thousands of years ago will appear this time. Sigh~"
Granny Liu seemed to see through the fog the figure of the handsome young man in a black robe running towards the black vortex without hesitation. She wanted to take a closer look at the young man's face, but suddenly she lost all her strength. Her originally gray hair became even drier and paler.
The village chief hurriedly supported Granny Liu and said, "Please stop using your abilities. We are both old and weak. Let's rely on the young people."
