Chapter 214: Skua Egg
The convoy overturned, and the skuas chasing behind immediately swooped down and pecked at their heads.
After a while, there were cries for help and wails from behind.
Xia Xiaoman ran home quickly without looking back.
Maodan hesitated for a moment, thinking that with so many skuas flying down, he wondered whether he should catch one for a snack.
But seeing that the shit scooper ran so fast, he gave up trying to catch the skua, for fear of being spanked by the shit scooper with a ruler.
Xia Xiaoman ran to the bottom of the wall and got into a horse stance. Seeing this, Maodan jumped up onto Xia Xiaoman as usual, stepped on her shoulders and flipped into the yard.
Only after Maodan went in did Xia Xiaoman climb over the wall and go home.
After returning home, Xia Xiaoman immediately ran to the second-floor balcony and took out a telescope. A dozen skuas surrounded the group of people, and Xia Xiaoman only saw the wings of the skuas after watching for a long time.
After waiting for a few minutes, the skuas flew into the sky one after another, and Xia Xiaoman saw that the people driving the snowmobiles were all lying on the ground.
The skuas have extremely sharp beaks and claws, and they are very smart. They know that the head is the weak spot of humans, so they all concentrated their attacks on the heads of the group of people.
Faced with more than a dozen mutant skuas that were larger than humans, those people had no power to fight back at all and were beaten to a bloody mess.
The steel-toothed rabbit smelled the blood nearby and ignored the presence of the skua, snatched the food from the bird's mouth, ran quickly to the people, tore off a large piece of meat, and hid beside to chew on it.
In the end, no one knew whether those people were pecked to death by skuas or bitten to death by steel-toothed rabbits.
Xia Xiaoman waited patiently. When he saw that the skuas and steel-toothed rabbits had left, he put on his coat, climbed over the fence, and put the snowmobiles that were left behind into the space.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my heart, and the next second several white eggs appeared out of thin air and fell on the snow.
Xia Xiaoman covered his chest with an unpleasant expression, picked up the egg on the ground and took a look, "Damn it, which bastard put the jaguar egg in the car? He deserves to be chased by the jaguar!"
The skuas attach great importance to their territory. Those people broke into the skuas' nests to steal eggs. Given the skuas' vengeful nature, they could not escape the skuas' pursuit even if they ran to the ends of the earth.
These skua eggs are obviously alive, and perhaps there are already baby skuas inside.
She accidentally took the living creature into the space, and her heart was filled with pain, as if someone was stirring it with a dagger. The pain made her break out in a sweat even in the cold weather.
Throwing those damn skua eggs into the bag, Xia Xiaoman walked to the wall with unsteady steps, took out a stepladder from the space, and climbed up using his hands and feet.
Xia Xiaoman was so angry that she was half dead. If she didn't have such severe pain in her heart, she could just jump over the wall and there would be no need to climb the stairs.
When he got home, he threw the skua eggs into the corner of the kang, took off his coat and shoes with difficulty, and lay in the quilt, rubbing his chest weakly.
The pain caused by the space was ineffective even after taking painkillers. Xia Xiaoman's forehead was sweating from the pain and his face was frighteningly pale.
Maodan seemed to know that the poop shoveler was uncomfortable, and he lay quietly beside the kang without making any trouble.
After lying there for more than an hour and getting a little used to the pain, Xia Xiaoman climbed up and leaned on the pillow. He took out Maodan's food from the space and put it in its food bowl. He also took a hot pancake to eat.
But her chest was hurting so much that she wanted to vomit after eating two bites. She had to give up eating, drink some boiled water and continue to lie in bed to rest.
After three full days of pain, Xia Xiaoman finally recovered and was able to get off the bed and walk around.
She took out the newly collected snowmobiles and checked them one by one. She found that there were a lot of things tied to them, most of which were personal belongings. Only a silver suitcase was somewhat conspicuous.
The surface of the box was stained with a lot of bird droppings. Xia Xiaoman guessed that the group of people must have picked them up from the skuas' nests.
After unfastening the buckle and opening the box, she found that it was filled with a kind of high-density sponge that she had never seen before. In the middle of the sponge was a small box that looked like a pen holder.
Xia Xiaonan was curious about what was in the box that required such a big box to protect it.
While thinking, he unscrewed the box. After opening the box, Xia Xiaoman finally understood why the high-density sponge was placed in the alley.
The inside of the box is in a honeycomb shape, with an anti-inflammatory needle stuffed in each small hole.
Xia Xiaoman roughly counted and found that there were 26 anti-inflammatory needles in total. Moreover, these anti-inflammatory needles had been placed in the skuas' nest for such a long time, but they were not frozen. She guessed that the high-density sponge in the box should be some special material that can isolate the cold temperature outside.
Seeing so many anti-inflammatory injections, Xia Xiaoman felt a little comforted, thinking that the pain in her heart for so long was worth it.
Before the natural disaster, anti-inflammatory injections were everywhere. Every hospital, including small clinics on the roadside, had a large number of anti-inflammatory injections. But now, it is extremely difficult to find an anti-inflammatory injection.
If the anti-inflammatory injections were not precious enough, why would such a box be used to protect them?
She didn't know where these skuas brought the boxes back from. If the boxes were not from the official source, she really wanted to go and check to see if she could get more medicine.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Maodan suddenly stand up and stare at the corner of the kang. After staring for half a minute, it climbed onto the kang carefully.
Xia Xiaoman gave it a slap on the head without saying anything, "I've told you so many times not to get on the heated kang!"
"Awoo, awoo, awoo~" Maodan complained in dissatisfaction, raising his paw and pointing at the corner of the kang.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman climbed onto the kang and lifted the quilt in the corner. She saw the skua egg she had thrown in the corner three days ago was being pecked open bit by bit.
There were 18 skua eggs brought back, 12 of which were dead and quietly stayed in the space. Only the six eggs on the kang were alive and could not be stored in the space.
When Maodan saw the little skua hatching from the egg, he was so excited that he wanted to pounce on it and bite it. He knew the smell, the same stench as the mixed-feathered birds flying around in the sky.
Xia Xiaoman gave it a slap on the head and said, "Don't move. Wait until these birds hatch and I'll make bird soup for you."
The mutated skua is large in size and lays large eggs as well. A newly hatched baby skua is the size of a half-month-old chick, and after plucking its feathers it can just fit into a small stew pot.
Not to mention that she is cruel, she even doesn't spare newborn birds.
The skua is not an eagle. After training it, it can help her catch a rabbit and ambush the enemy.
Skuas are wild and unruly, they are not united, they have bad tempers, they eat a lot, and they don't lay many eggs. It's better to raise hens than to raise them, because at least hens will lay eggs every day as long as they are not sitting on the nest.
For Xia Xiaoman, the greatest value of these little skuas now is to fill her stomach and provide her with nutrition.
