Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Zao Zao, save, save!
Xiao Chuzao wanted to say it before.
Even if it means forcing him to eat sour fruits, even if it means confiscating his candies and snacks.
Dad isn't a bad guy at all.
There was a soft quilt spread out on the bed, where the little cub had just slept. There was another quilt belonging to Amos, which had not been torn open yet. The small squares folded together had a certain thickness. The little cub stood on it, which increased his height a little, but he still looked very small. With his wings spread out behind him, he looked at Amos intently.
He told Amos very seriously -
In Zao Zao's opinion, you are the best.
The other crown clans all looked over.
Look at this little guy.
"So, so——"
He spoke softly.
"Papa, you need to know this."
He didn't want Amos to be shaken or doubtful because of this.
"That's it."
It was too quiet around. After the cub finished speaking, he turned his big eyes around. Not getting any response, he hesitated for a moment and scratched the quilt with his little toes. Hmm? Did Zao Zao do something wrong just now?
Or is it not good to stand on the quilt?
Little Chuzao remembered that Grandpa Mori once told him that the Crown Clan was the most elegant and gentlemanly race he had ever seen.
He doesn't seem very elegant at the moment?
The cub hesitantly lowered its body, climbed down from the quilt, and sat back on the soft bedding. The little wings behind it fluttered twice, like an exquisite little doll.
That's how it is anyway.
He finished speaking.
There have never been such cubs in the history of the Crown Clan.
So it is difficult to describe the feelings of the Crown Clan, including Amos, at this moment.
A sensitive, pitiful, strong cub who obviously doesn't have much sense of security but will sincerely lay everything out to you in an attempt to give you a sense of security.
Being too sensible, one appears sad.
Finally the cub was held in Amos' arms.
It's really amazing.
Such a little guy.
You give your love and he will try to give you lots and lots of love.
Little Chuzao was carried down to eat.
Because of the need for nutrition and various elements, he still relies on cub milk as his main food at this moment, supplemented by other meats and vegetables, as well as various fruits after meals.
Hull stood up and waved to Amos.
"Your Majesty Amos, I'm going out for a walk."
Amos nodded.
Hull pushed open the door and looked at the neutral planet, which had changed a lot since the last time he came. The voices of Anya and Feiman could be heard from behind him.
"Brother Amos, laugh if you want to."
"My favorite dad... Hey, I don't care that much, really. I don't care if you give it to me. Why don't you try giving it to me, brother Amos?"
Anya has an awkward personality and is rash. You can never hear anything nice from him.
Fei Man also has a strange personality. She only pays attention to things that she cares about, and doesn't want to pay any attention to things that she doesn't care about.
Obviously, Amos, who has a cub, has become the object of envy, and Xiao Chuzao has also become the most concerned target of the entire Crown Clan.
After the destruction of their habitat, the Crown Clan, which had been dragged down by a heavy fate and continued to fall, got some breathing space and gained a different kind of vitality.
Hull tried to blend in.
But he couldn't, even if he lost his mind with anger, even if he cried because of his powerlessness, but Hull always felt a layer of separation from the current crown family.
He lost his wings and his lover - he was like a bag with a hole in it. No matter how much strength he added, it would all slip out of the hole.
He just wanted to do his best to teach Xiao Chuzao all the knowledge that the Dwight family needed to learn.
If only none of this had happened.
Heer thought like this - although they founded Saint Cass, if nothing had happened, the habitat would not be destroyed by pollution, and all the crown families would not be affected and destroyed. They would live well on the habitat planet, with their relatives and friends, everything would be peaceful and tranquil, and they would use their spiritual power to have a cub of their own...
If all this suffering was just a dream - that would be fine.
A sharp pain came from the back where the wings were gouged out.
Hull took out the painkiller and took it skillfully with an expressionless face.
Without the little guy, he didn't mind the bitterness of the medicine.
He walked towards the direction where he once walked with his lover Morlo.
The crown family's resting place.
Little Chuzao was drinking from the bottle, leaning on Amos. The cub's hair had been combed, and his little wings were spread out behind him, allowing Amos to comb his feathers one by one.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Chuzao held the ghost bear in his arms, took off the halo, thought hesitantly for a long time, and then put the halo back on his head.
Fei Man was the last person present to know that the little guy could take the halo at will. She felt very bad. She and Anya had just been taught a lesson by Amos, and she trembled when she saw this scene.
Anya is used to it.
Especially after pulling Hull out of his house, Xiao Chuzao was very good at interrupting Hull's depressed mood.
He could always be seen taking off his little halo and talking to Hull.
He has this ability, which should be effective on the nearby Crown Clan, but he seems to only do this to Hull.
But after so many days, I realized that it is actually very useful.
Hull's overall condition looks much better than before.
Seems to be a little more alive.
So Anya asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to talk to Mr. Hull?"
Little Chuzao was just picked up by Amos who came out. He shook his head slightly after hearing these words.
"At a time like this... Mr. Hull would want to go for a walk alone with his old friend, right? It wouldn't be nice for Zao Zao to disturb him."
The little cub was keenly aware of Hull's emotions when he left the house.
He hugged Amos around the neck.
"……Um."
Amos responded.
"Dad has a meeting tomorrow, and uncle is going too. What does Zao Zao want to do tomorrow?"
The little guy said obediently: "Zao Zao, wait here."
"Don't you want to go out for a walk?"
Fei Man interrupted.
She subconsciously looked at Amos.
It has been a long time - little Chuzao and Amos have been inseparable.
Hull had discussed this issue with them before.
Amos seemed calm, but he was actually still in a state of stress. He watched little Chu Zao too closely. Although Chu Zao was young, Amos was a bit overprotective.
In fact, this situation has happened before.
In other words, the Crown Clan's inherent care for their cubs is something that even they themselves find difficult to control, especially when the cubs are in danger. Such emotions will be instantly magnified, making the Crown Clan wish to destroy all the existence around that threatens the cubs.
But in the past, the little crown people would rebel and struggle as they grew up, and would challenge the previous generation of crown people to declare that they had grown up and were slowly becoming independent.
Chu Zao is different. He is an unexpected find of Amos, a good baby who aroused Amos's instinct to protect his cubs belatedly.
He was keenly aware of the parents' emotions and tried to accommodate them in his own way.
It seems that Amos is always protecting and accommodating little Chuzao, but in fact, Amos is also the one being cared for by the little cub.
Amos naturally heard what Feman said.
He just looked at the little guy for a long time, then stroked his soft, fluffy black curls.
"Zao Zao, do you want to go out for a walk? Dad and uncle have work to do tomorrow, so we shouldn't bother Mr. Hull. Zao Zao, do you want to go out for a walk with your aunt and uncle?"
The little cub had been looking at Amos obediently, but now his eyes widened.
There is surprise in the soft and chewy little voice.
"Is that okay?"
"certainly."
Amos judged.
"The multi-national and multi-ethnic conference is not just a political conference, but also an exchange and cooperation conference for commercial agriculture, energy industry, etc. There will be many things that Sancas does not have."
The little guy was obviously very curious about this place, and it would be fine even if he went out with Anya and Fei Man.
"But keep the little wings and the little crown."
Little Chuzao's eyes sparkled as she hugged Amos' neck: "Okay!"
*
Night is coming fast.
Little Chuzao slept a little late and not very well, with anticipation for tomorrow. The small halo above his head lit up and flickered from time to time.
The little guy held the ghost bear, his little body curled up slightly, and leaned against Amos to absorb the warmth from Amos.
Amos adjusted the positions of the two people adaptably.
——After the accident, Xiao Chuzao slept directly with Amos in most cases.
Amos closed his eyes.
Before falling into a deep sleep, he saw those memory scenes from Xiao Chuzao again.
——They have slowly pieced together a lot during this period of time.
It’s still that forest grassland.
This is the land of angels.
The buildings belonging to the angel family are magnificent.
As the masters of the Angel Realm, the Angel Clan possesses the most resources and the most stable life.
This does not include the little cubs.
Little Chuzao looked still confused at that time.
He usually lives in his own little nest. He has nothing. He is very small and walks with his head down and huddled in the corner.
At this moment, the little cub was holding a pocket made of leaves in his hand, which contained the plants collected by the little guy.
In a shop on Angel Street, these things can be exchanged for some daily necessities.
This is very important for Xiao Chuzao who has no family and has to support himself.
But he was too young at that time.
The open class for the angel cubs was over, and he was not allowed to enter the open class for new cubs, and he did not find a suitable teacher.
He didn't know many plants, and these plants looked similar, plus there were many problems with the collection methods.
No matter how smart you are, most of the plants that are transported with great effort cannot be harvested.
“That’s all.”
The shop owner took out a small paper bag from behind the counter, which contained some loose nuts and nut cookies that the angels often eat.
The shop owner obviously didn't like Xiao Chuzao very much, and his attitude seemed a bit perfunctory, as if he was judging whether he would suddenly turn into a little white monster out of excitement again.
"As for those that cannot be collected, we will not help you deal with them. You have to take them away and deal with them yourself."
The tiny cub put the small paper bag away, nodded, and said timidly: "Okay, thank you."
He walked out of the shop with his wings drooping, holding the unharvested herbs in his hands.
After walking out of the store, the little cub blinked and looked at what he was holding.
"No... I should be happy today because I have nut cookies to eat today."
This food is something that other angels have already gotten tired of, but Xiao Chuzao, who eats fruits from outside on a daily basis, still cherishes it very much.
He had just walked out of Angel Street holding the unwanted plant when the little angels who had just finished class flew over and glanced at him as they passed by.
"What are those?"
"Weeds that look like some useful plants."
"He didn't bring these weeds to deceive people and get away with it, did he?"
"Ah? Then he's too bad, isn't he?"
"Maybe he simply didn't recognize it and is just stupid?"
Xiao Chuzao paused where he was and suddenly turned around.
"No! Zao Zao is not bad, nor is she stupid!"
Several little angels were startled by him and quickly called their companions.
"Go, go—"
"Dad said that when he gets excited he will turn into a white ball monster, which might affect us."
"So why keep him in the Angel Realm? Wouldn't it be better to send him away?"
"The Archangel said that it seems that the uncertain factors need to be monitored. Isn't he living well here? Anyway, it's the adults' business, let's go, we don't need to care about it."
The little angels fly very fast.
The sound gradually faded away.
Xiao Chuzao was about to throw away the thing in his arms, but he was a step too slow.
He was too small, too weak, without family or friends, like a weed in the arms.
Here, he is an island.
The little cub stood there for a long time, and finally returned to where he had lived before, holding the weeds in his arms.
Clean up the weeds.
The cub huddled in its little nest, taking several bites of a nut biscuit, filling its little mouth full.
In the end, he drooped his wings and eyelids in grievance.
"Zao Zao... is not stupid, and Zao Zao is not bad either..."
Zao Zao just, just learned too little.
No one taught Zao Zao how to do it.
Not at all.
Algae is not bad...
You are the bad ones.
Xiao Chuzao knows too well how it feels when people say bad things about you.
He didn't want anyone he cared about to feel this way, so he would seriously tell Amos that he was the best dad in the little cub's heart.
The little cub with drooping wings was huddled in its own little corner, nibbling on biscuits, crying, and finally couldn't hold back and let out a little sob.
“Wu…wuwu…everyone…are bullying Zao Zao…wuwu…”
Amos suddenly woke up to the cub's whimpering.
He opened his scarlet eyes.
Look at the cub in your arms.
The little guy was dreaming. He slept very uneasily. The small halo above his head flickered and then suddenly lit up. The cub opened his eyes all at once. In the dark room, the little guy's breathing sounded a little heavy. Little Chuzao seemed to sniff, leaned back further, and then fell asleep silently again.
“Click—”
The small lamp at the head of the bed was gently turned on.
Little Chuzao was stunned.
"Beep?"
Amos leaned over, reached out his hand, and gently wiped the tears from the little cub's eyes.
The little cub rubbed against his fingers out of habit, looking sleepy and dazed.
"Before Zao Zao met her father, she had always had a hard time, right?"
Amos asked quietly.
Before, he and other members of the Crown Clan always felt that the little one should not be allowed to recall the past. As parents, they should collect the records of the bullying suffered by the little one, find the place where it happened, and finally settle the accounts one by one.
That's not something the wronged cub should worry about.
But he still has nightmares because one or two words naturally remind him of his past sadness.
These are not the main points. The main point is that he will naturally and obediently suppress his sadness and then fall asleep quietly.
"Angel tribe."
Amos said as the cub stared blankly.
"They should not exist in this corner of the galaxy."
Xiao Chuzao looked at Amos.
“Beep… why… why…”
The little cub's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he sniffed. Just a moment when he talked about the past, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Will you know?"
"Dad told you, tell dad when you are sad, dad will comfort you."
Amos looked at Xiao Chuzao.
"Although dad is still not very good at coaxing people."
"Dad will get it back—"
Amos spoke softly, patting little Chuzao's back with his big hands.
He had never hesitated before.
The Crown Clan is not reasonable in matters like this.
He was just thinking about how to retaliate, but he could still tolerate it a little before, even though Xiao Chuzao was obviously a thorough Little Crown Clan member who had mistakenly entered the territory of other races. For those races that lacked warmth, vigilance and supervision were natural.
But no matter what - a little cub should not be tortured repeatedly between disappointment and hope, posing with a righteous attitude, as if they are doing the right thing and want to fly this flag high.
At that time, little Chu Zao was less than five years old.
"But...but - Zao Zao heard them say that suffering should be endured...after enduring it, good things will happen...Zao Zao didn't believe it at first, but then she met Baba."
As the little cub said this, tears were already falling. He sniffed and raised his hand to wipe his tears.
“Suffering is not something that should be endured.”
Amos lifted the cub into his arms.
The aggrieved little guy was like a smaller baby who could only be held by his parents. He lay in Amos' arms, with his wings drooping like a little white bird that had been wronged. His little hands grabbed Amos' clothes and his head rested on Amos' chest, listening to the strong beating of his father's heart.
"Suffering is only suffering. It damages the soul beyond repair. What Zao Zao should believe in is herself, because Zao Zao can stand up again, just like all the crown families in the past, who never gave in."
Amos held the curled up cub in his arms.
"It doesn't matter, Zao Zao, you have heard the sounds of those civilian starships of Saint Cass before. You are also a member of the Crown Clan. You are stronger than you think. It is Zao Zao who is more powerful, not Suffering."
The cub raised his head with tears in his eyes: "Is it Zao Zao that's so powerful?"
"Yes, but before you really grow up - Daddy is still around, you can rely on Daddy more... or rather, Daddy wants you to rely on Daddy more."
Especially at a time like this.
They were piecing together everything about the cub. It was rare for the Crown Clan to set "revenge" as the tone of a stage. They were trying to make the cub feel more at ease.
Amos coaxed the aggrieved cub to sleep.
Amos' heart was broken.
*
Early the next morning.
The little guy woke up and was tidied up by Amos.
Last night's nightmare didn't seem to have brought any changes.
But it seems that there has been a change, the little guy seems to be a little more down-to-earth.
Before, when he felt that his origins were not clear in the eyes of other people in the Crown Clan, he did not deliberately say it, and he was somewhat indescribably anxious.
But at this moment——
Little Chuzao hid her wings and halo, and put on her scarf, gloves and hat.
The temperature on the neutral planet was not high either, and it was also autumn and winter. The cub raised his hand and looked at his little gloves. The black curly hair on his forehead was squeezed by the plush hat. He exhaled a breath of white air and watched the white air dissipate. His two short legs swayed back and forth with anticipation.
You know it all.
But Baba said that Zao Zao was the most powerful.
Baba also likes Zao Zao!
He sat at the door, waiting obediently for Anya and Fei Man.
Anya and Fei Man were being pulled aside by Amos and being given careful instructions.
After what happened last night.
Amos almost changed his mind at the last minute and let the cub remain in the range of his mental power.
But seeing how expectant the little guy was, Amos pinched his nose and gave the two equally excited people some instructions.
Finney has not returned yet and there has been no news of him.
According to the informant's report, Lin Yuan, the leader of the Bell Alliance Revolutionary Army, seems to have an unclear connection with the Zan Ge Group.
The key point is that he pays too much attention to the Lingtong Clan of the Boer Alliance, and he desperately wants the Lingtong Clan to die, and he will do whatever it takes. This is usually what rats in the gutter like the Anthem Organization like to do.
But at this moment, the Saint Cass Empire is ready.
The starships of the Ninth Army that failed to enter the limited area are on standby outside, and the reserve army is clearing the alien beast army in the star field not far away, ready to arrive at any time to take control of the situation.
Amos knew in his heart that something was going on in this multi-parliamentary session.
Amos himself is also a megalomaniac.
His indifference to crises was also evident from the several accidents that had occurred to the cubs before - or perhaps this generation of the Crown Clan was used to this.
If it weren’t for Xiao Chuzao, Amos would have come by himself this time.
But at this moment, Amos was not sure whether something unexpected would happen.
So all the royal family members of the Crown Clan were present except Finny.
Little Chuzao’s safety is more than enough.
Fei Man nodded in response and looked outside eagerly: "Okay, okay, second brother, we all know, you and eldest brother should just have a good meeting."
"Yeah, no matter what, we are not as unreliable as the third brother, right?"
Anya also added.
Hull, who was also planning to go out, nodded after hearing this.
Finny's weapon is somewhat similar to Xiao Chuzao's, but he is really unreliable.
Hull had never expected that there would be no news of Finny till now.
His Majesty Amos's hesitation is not without reason.
Amos finally nodded.
They were allowed to take Xiao Chuzao out.
The fluffy little baby jumped down from the chair and followed his aunt and uncle like a little tail. Because he was wearing thick clothes, he walked out of the door swayingly.
We have just walked a short distance to the door.
Xiao Chuzao saw the Saint Cass Civilian Rest Area from afar. They were distributing stickers and small clips of the Saint Cass Empire flag.
Many people had stickers on their faces and small clips on their hats.
Xiao Chuzao's eyes widened for a moment.
Fei Man and Anya looked over.
"Want that?"
Fei Man looked down at the little guy.
The cub was small, with big bright eyes. He raised his head and nodded: "Auntie, I want it."
He calls me auntie!!!
Fei Man looked calm, but was already walking quickly towards that direction.
"Zao Zao, wait for your aunt for a moment."
Leaving behind the cubs and Anya.
The two looked at each other, and the little guy blinked his eyes. It was a bit tiring to look up at people like this, so the little guy looked around and sat down on the steps next to him.
"Uncle?"
"cough……"
An Ya finally coughed lightly.
"That's what..."
His eyes wandered.
"I was wrong about what I said to you before. I apologize to you."
The cub shook his little head.
Anya: ...
"If you don't accept that, I'll wait until later..."
"Apologizing is seeking forgiveness," Xiao Chuzao looked at Anya and smiled with curved eyes, "Zao Zao has already forgiven my uncle."
Anya was stunned.
At this moment, Fei Man came back with the peripherals of the Saint Cass Empire in his hand. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Amos following him out.
Amos looked at them and his brows slowly frowned.
Anya, Feiman: ...?
It's so strange, I always feel a chill on my back.
The next moment, little Chuzao, who was sitting on the cold steps, was picked up, and his aunt and uncle, who had failed to take good care of him, were hit each.
How to make Amos angry enough to come and hit someone?
Answer: I didn’t notice Zao Zao sitting on the cold steps.
Anya held her head and said, "I remember, I remember..."
It’s not their fault.
Little Chuzao had rarely gone out, and whenever he went out, he was carried by Amos.
Which of the crown family cares whether the steps are cold or not? They just sit anywhere.
I haven't paid any attention to this aspect, okay?
Fei Man pinched the surroundings and fell down naturally.
Anya:?
What are you doing?
The little cub poked his head out and saw Fei Man raising his hand. His voice was very calm, but the content was this: "Zao Zao, save us, rescue us."
My aunt is dying.
It would be better if Zao Zao came.
So pitiful.
The little cub just fell for it. He asked Amos to put him down, and stretched out his little hand to hold Fei Man's hand: "It's not Aunt's fault. Aunt didn't see Zao Zao. It was Zao Zao who found a place to sit by herself."
Fei Man turned his head and glanced at Anya.
Anya: ...?
She seemed very proud of herself.
