Chapter 2 Chapter 2
It turned out that she was really reincarnated as a tortoise... no, a little turtle.
Yan Luoyue lay in the cradle, her eyes dull and lifeless. She held a thumb in her mouth, blocking the complaints that were about to burst out.
From the conversation between the two, Yan Luoyue learned that the young woman's name was Yan Yu, and she was the caretaker of the incubator.
As for the other young boy, Yan Gan, he was a child of the tribe, and he came to the incubator to help out when he had nothing to do.
Half an hour ago, Yan Luoyue saw a tragic bloody flash before his eyes and it seemed that he was about to die on the spot.
At the critical moment, Yan Yu took off his coat and wrapped her up gently and carefully.
The soft fabric carried body temperature, blocking out the cold air and also saving Yan Luoyue's precarious health bar.
Seeing his health slowly recovering, Yan Luoyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Yu carefully picked up the baby girl.
She had never seen any of her fellow creatures transform at such a young age: even the baby's bones were soft, and its tiny fingers and toes were lumpy and lumpy, as if if she used a little more strength, the child would be crushed to pieces.
With that awkward posture of holding the explosive/medicine bag in his hand, Yan Yu carried Yan Luoyue all the way, as if he was carrying a dish, and brought her to the Great Elder.
After explaining the whole story of Yan Luoyue's hatching in detail, Yan Yu raised his head, hoping that the white-haired elder in front of him could give him some pointers.
A few seconds passed and the Great Elder was sitting cross-legged on the spot without any movement.
Two bullets passed by, and the wrinkles on the elder's face did not even ripple.
After ten snaps of his fingers, the Great Elder finally opened his eyes.
The big white beard moved slightly, and finally a sound came out. The elder said calmly and leisurely: "Ah, I know."
The Great Elder looked at the baby in Yan Yu's arms and asked slowly, "Child, do you have any idea about your birth?"
Yan Yu: “…”
Yan Luoyue: “…”
Yan Luoyue was in such a miserable mood that he was about to burst out with complaints.
Unfortunately, due to her inherent hardware limitations, she opened her mouth and only spit out bubbles.
The great elder laughed: "Look, he can spit bubbles. He is a child of our turtle tribe."
Yan Luoyue: “???”
Wait, what did you say?
Do you dare to repeat the two words you just said?
The baby waved his hands and feet excitedly, making soft "ah ah" sounds.
You are such a pure and righteous rebel, yet you say you are the king... bah, turtle tribe?
If it really doesn't work, then let the turtle tribe be the turtle tribe.
However, even though he was reincarnated as a turtle, his initial health bar was only 1 point. Is there any justice in this world?
Yan Yu used only one hand to suppress all of Yan Luoyue's protests, and because he used a lot of force, he also reduced Yan Luoyue's health by 0.1 points.
She asked uncertainly, "Great Elder, it seems that human babies can also blow bubbles."
The elder had a good reason: "But human babies don't hatch from eggs."
This sounds reasonable.
But didn't she ask to see the elder just to know how a baby could be hatched from an egg?
Yan Yu felt that something was wrong, as if he had encountered some kind of mysterious wall.
She hesitated and asked, "Elder, what about this child?"
The elder slowly closed his eyes and waved his hand at her. This simple action took him half a cup of tea.
The great elder said calmly and slowly, "Keep it."
Yan Yu waited for a long while, but she didn't hear the second order. She bravely reached out and touched the hem of the elder's clothes, and then she was stunned.
The Great Elder is in hibernation.
——————————
After the entanglement, Yan Yu decided to take Yan Luoyue back to his own residence to raise her.
Yan Luoyue didn't care about this decision for the time being. Although it was important who would take care of her in the future, the problem she was facing now was a hundred times more serious than that.
——She is losing blood!
Ever since Yan Yu brought him home, Yan Luoyue has been losing blood constantly due to hunger!
Although the blood loss rate is very slow, about 0.01 points of blood every five minutes, but Yan Luoyue's initial blood bar is low.
She had only 1 HP at the beginning. If she continued like this, even if nothing unexpected happened, Yan Luoyue's new life would be gone in eight hours at most.
Feeling a distinct feeling of hunger in her abdomen, Yan Luoyue opened her little mouth helplessly and burst into tears.
Yan Yu didn't know why Yan Luoyue was crying, and his brows were furrowed with anxiety.
She was genuine in her concern for Yan Luoyue. Like every flustered new mother, as soon as she saw her child crying, she rushed to find the cause.
During this period, she wrapped Yan Luoyue with an extra layer of quilt - because it was too stuffy and not breathable, Yan Luoyue lost 0.1 health points.
She also wiped Yan Luoyue's face with warm water - because the baby's skin is more sensitive, the burn took away 0.1 points of Yan Luoyue's health.
Afraid that there might be some foreign object in the swaddling clothes that might hurt Yan Luoyue, Yan Yu even untied the sheets to take a look - Yan Luoyue was suddenly hit by the cold air and lost another 0.1 health point.
Yan Luoyue: “…”
In the flashing red light of the death warning, Yan Luoyue was completely unconscious.
Even her eyes had lost their luster, and her whole body, no, her whole body was like a salted fish, motionless, lying on her back stiffly.
If she didn't move, Yan Yu wouldn't move. After eliminating Yan Yu, the biggest external disturbance, the health bar finally returned to the -0.01, -0.01 downward frequency.
Yan Luoyue discovered sadly that this was the only way to make her live longer.
——What? The life motto of you turtles is really "Life lies in stillness"?
Just when Yan Luoyue thought that she was going to face a tragic end of starvation to death, Yan Gan arrived and saved her.
Yan Gan walked around the makeshift crib and was soon shocked by the sadness and solemnity in Yan Luoyue's eyes.
Although he has no experience in parenting, this kind of look seems like it shouldn't appear on the face of a newly hatched turtle?
Yan Gan stretched out his hand cautiously and waved it in front of Yan Luoyue.
Yan Luoyue didn't even move his eyes, just stood there waiting to die.
Little boys are generally not steady enough and they don't use enough force when they hit someone.
If she stayed like this, she could probably live for another three or four hours. If Yan Gan poked her too hard, she might die on the spot.
Who would have thought that Yan Gan stared at Yan Luoyue for a while, and perhaps out of sympathy for each other as they were both working for the same living, he actually sensed her predicament as if by telepathy.
The boy turned around and called out, "Sister Yu, have you fed your sister?"
Yan Yu blinked blankly: "No, the turtles in the tribe that have just hatched cannot be fed immediately. They have to rest for seven or eight days."
Hearing her say this, Yan Gan was a little hesitant: "Since it's a human being that was hatched, the situation should be different, right? Otherwise...feed her some milk first?"
This sounds reasonable. After thinking for a moment, Yan Yu hurried into the inner room, and after a while, he returned with a bag of powdery substance.
Yan Gan poked his head in to take a look, and his voice was obviously a little surprised: "Hey, this is it."
"Hmm." Yan Yu performed a magic spell and the bowl was automatically filled with water.
"We don't have the habit of drinking milk in our tribe, and we can't find a source of milk for the time being. The little turtles in our tribe all love to eat this, so I'll make a bowl of porridge and feed it to them first."
The feeding process went very smoothly.
Yan Yu noticed guiltily that the little girl was sniffing her nose and almost trying to grab the spoon to put in her mouth. It was obvious that she was very hungry.
She had taken care of so many newly hatched turtles for the tribe, but today she made the mistake of seeing the light as dark. She had not expected that the habits of humans and turtles were so different.
After eating more than ten spoonfuls of porridge, Yan Luoyue finally got over her hunger, and her health bar, which had been dropping, returned to normal.
She smacked her lips and felt like she was alive again.
Only at this point did Yan Luoyue have the mood to pay attention to other things.
For example, why does the paste she just swallowed taste a bit weird?
It was slightly salty, a little bitter, and quite fragrant, as if it had a taste of protein. She thought it was a bowl of rice paste from the color, but there was no rice paste in the world that tasted like this.
While Yan Luoyue was thinking secretly, Yan Gan had already quickly picked up the bag of remaining powder, tilted his head back, and poured all the powder into his open mouth.
After tasting the snacks, Yan Gan squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"Sister Yu, when it comes to snowflake worm powder, it turns out that the one you polish here is the most authentic!"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Yan Luoyue opened her eyes wide in horror.
Snowflake worm powder... all the turtles in the tribe love it...
Well, in the animal world, what do turtles usually eat?
If she remembered correctly, turtles are omnivorous animals and can eat small fish, shrimps, and insects, right?
In other words, everything she just ate was...! ! !
The familiar red light once again filled Yan Luoyue's entire vision. This time, she suffered a severe mental shock and her health points suddenly dropped by 0.5 points.
…Yan Luoyue discovered sadly that even though she had only been here for less than half a day, she had already completely accepted the ridiculous concept that “0.5 points of blood is very, very much”.
After being stunned for a moment, Yan Luoyue couldn't help feeling sad.
She pursed her lips and followed her physiological instinct to make a move that was quite appropriate for her age.
“Wow wow wow——”
There is no way to live like this!
If Yan Luoyue hadn't been able to control her tongue well, she would have shouted out the name of the person in front of her to the whole world.
——Fuck!
——————————
Even though he would lose blood if he was cold, if he choked on milk, and even if he ate insects and had a mental shock, Yan Luoyue still managed to hold on tenaciously.
The sun is new every day, and so is the turtle food that is fed.
Yan Luoyue remembered that the diet of black turtles was very extensive. In addition to those high-protein sources with questionable taste, vegetables and fruits were also on their food list.
So she believed that as long as she persisted, one day her staple food would be replaced with vegetables, fruits, or other edible things.
The moon was bright that night and Yan Gan had already left. Yan Yu, who was taking care of the baby, had also fallen into a deep sleep.
The bright moonlight was like water waves, seeping into the room through the window curtains, like flowing silver, lightly covering Yan Luoyue's small quilt.
Listening to the quiet and regular breathing sounds beside her ears, Yan Luoyue opened her eyes.
The cotton ball wrapped in the swaddle trembled twice, and a short, soft white arm poked out from under the quilt.
Finally, when Yan Yu fell asleep, she could carefully study her health bar.
He bent his little arms above his head with great effort and grabbed the thin red thread.
The moment he touched the health bar, an inexplicable feeling suddenly spread throughout Yan Luoyue's body.
Countless golden magic weapons and spiritual objects suddenly flashed before her eyes. She observed their shapes and types...
Hmm, it looks like her backpack in the game "One World"?
