After licking a mouthful of mutton, Chu Qi slowly stood up, walked over with small steps, lowered his tiger head, and put his ears on the tigress's furry and soft belly.
New life is growing inside.
"Snoring, gurgling..."
There was a strange sound of water flowing in her belly, and Chu Qi couldn't help but grin, "I'm going to be a father."
As she came into closer contact with Mei, she no longer resisted having a cub.
Instead, the unexpected beginning was just like Mei, looking forward to the arrival of new life.
Mei also smiled, "I'm going to be a mother."
The young couple looked at each other, both filled with the joy of becoming parents for the first time.
However, this joy was soon dispelled by the morning sickness that followed.
Mei's beautiful tiger face showed a hint of pain. She sniffed the sheep smell around her and felt her throat gurgling with sour water and a spicy feeling coming up. She tilted her head and vomited all over the floor again.
"Ugh, mutton... take it away."
She said weakly.
Her morning sickness was extremely severe.
Chu Qi hurriedly took away all the mutton, waving his claws and digging the ground frantically to cover up Mei's vomit.
Mei stood up slowly and walked around to the other side of the tree.
Although the big tree outside the cave is not as thick as the big tree in the territory square, it is also quite old.
It would take at least five adult tigers to hug the tree together.
Going around to the other side, Mei sat down.
The breeze was not dry and blew across her fur. The fluffy fur swayed slightly back and forth. She squinted her eyes, feeling the cool and refreshing mountain breeze. The sour feeling in her stomach finally subsided a little.
Being pregnant is a struggle even for the tiger, the king of the mountains.
Whether the morning sickness was strong or weak, the tigress could not eat normally. The taste of meat, which she loved on a daily basis, made her feel more or less nauseous when it reached her mouth.
Fortunately, tigers are omnivores, and female tigers at this time usually eat it together with sour leaves.
On the other side, after Chu Qi dealt with his wife’s vomit, he quickly ran to the place in the territory where sour leaves grew.
The tiger form is much more fluid and convenient than the human form in terms of doing things and running speed, so she did not change into a human form. She came to the place where sour leaves were planted, lowered her head, grabbed a piece of lush sour leaves, and with a light pull, she bit the sour leaves off at the root.
She held a neat handful of sour grape leaves in her mouth, stood up, and prepared to turn around and go back.
At this moment, a hesitant voice called her, "Lai?"
The lush sour leaves were growing well, reaching a height of about 1.8 meters. A slender arm stretched out and brushed away a large patch of sour leaves. Then, a woman with a pretty face came out.
Seeing what the big tiger was holding in its mouth, Hua Tao asked in confusion, "Tigers also eat grass?"
"No," Chu Qi carefully placed the sour leaves on the tender weeds on the ground and replied, "My wife is pregnant, I took it back for her to eat."
"Let's not talk about it for now. She's waiting to eat." The big tiger picked up the food again, turned around and ran away quickly.
Hua Tao looked down at the leaf in her hand.
She has been in the Tiger Tribe for more than ten days, and she only discovered this area with yellow leaves yesterday.
The yellow special leaves grow well and have a slightly sour taste, perfect for making appetizers...
In line with the principle of not eating something you don't know, Hua Tao specifically asked other tigers for advice. Only after they said it was edible did she decide to make an appetizer.
She happened to come picking today and saw a lot of tigers coming, but she didn't recognize most of them. She only recognized one, Lai.
Confused, she decided to ask Lai.
Upon learning that it was a pregnant tigress that wanted to eat it, Hua Tao pondered: Do the tigers here also eat sour food when they are pregnant?
Hmm... I wonder if tigers ate grass in the world she was in before?
Shouldn't I eat it?
She thought uncertainly.
But…pregnancy is so uncomfortable for tigers here. I heard a tigress complaining to her the day before yesterday.
Huatao has no means of treating morning sickness...
The main thing is that even if there is, it is drug treatment, and there are no relevant drugs here.
But, if you can’t use medicine to treat it, you can use diet therapy!
Thinking of the flint she found yesterday, she felt delighted. Finally, she could eat cooked food!
In order to survive, she had tried to eat raw food before, but raw food was not so easy to eat, and most of the time she relied on fruits, wild vegetables and herbs to survive.
Wouldn't a pregnant tigress be disgusted by raw meat?
It should be better to eat it cooked!
After all, even orcs have human characteristics in essence.
After hesitating for a moment, Hua Tao went to the residence of the tribe leader Zhen. The sooner the better. In order to make the tigress feel less uncomfortable, she had to do it as soon as possible.
On the way, he met another tiger and called out to Hua Tao: "Wu, where are you going? Do you want me to take you?"
Well, it is a consensus among the tiger tribe to take the witch along, and generally everyone who sees her will lend a hand.
It's not because of anything else, it's just because Wu is the only female beast who refuses to show her beast form, and she is so petite. With her own two short legs, how long will it take her to get home before dark?
"Great, I want to go see the clan leader, please."
Hua Tao held a handful of sour leaves in her arms and looked at the big tiger in front of her that was more than three meters tall with a smile.
Tiger lowered his eyes to look at the thing in Hua Tao's hand, then suddenly widened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Wu, are you pregnant?!"
Who, who is it!
The tiger cried in his heart, did he have no chance?
"No, I just picked them to eat." Hua Tao said calmly.
"So that's how it is..."
The big tiger's lost heart was revived. He happily lay on the ground and let Hua Tao sit on his neck. After making sure she was sitting firmly, he quickly rushed to the clan leader's house.
Sitting on the tiger's thick fur, Hua Tao grabbed the fur on both sides of the tiger's neck, trying to keep up with the tiger's running rhythm to prevent herself from falling off.
…
Chu Qi took the sour leaves back home and gave them to Mei earnestly.
Mei ate three tender yellow sour leaves, and the nausea in her throat was immediately relieved.
Because mutton had a strong smell, Chu Qi did not bring it with him and went back to hunting rabbits.
Before dark, she caught three rabbits and a pheasant that was one meter tall when standing.
This kind of wild pheasant has a very tender taste. Except for the fact that the meat is a little less and the hair is a little thick, there is nothing wrong with it.
Carefully tearing the fur off the rabbit, Chu Qi placed the processed rabbit meat in front of Mei.
Mei took a bite of sour leaves and a bite of rabbit meat, and swallowed the food with a frown.
Although it still doesn’t taste very good, at least I don’t feel like vomiting anymore.
"Hey, there are still more than three months..."
Mei transformed into a human form, leaning against her husband's fluffy neck fur, and said with a sad face, "My mother never told me that morning sickness would be so serious?"
She thought having a baby would just mean having an extra piece of meat in her belly, but she never thought it would affect her ability to eat!
