Chapter 49

Su Ci looked at the smile on the child’s face.

Number 7 had a head of silvery white curly hair, slightly naturally curly, and he had just gotten out of bed, so he didn’t take care of his hair, so it looked a bit messy.

However, with his young and delicate facial features, tender and healthy skin with a slight pink hue, and the slightly raised deer antlers on his forehead, he looked a bit more smart and playful. Although

Number 6 had just smiled at Su Ci, he could feel the obvious difference between the two.

The little monkey did whatever he wanted, and was friendly to Su Ci but actually indifferent, while Su Ci could clearly see himself in the eyes of the little white deer in front of him.

He reached out to take back the medical spray, thought for a moment, and said, "Your relationship with No. 8 doesn't seem to be very good."

In fact, judging from the conflict they had in the activity room, it seems that it can no longer be described as "not very good". If Su Ci had shown up a little later, No. 8 might have bitten No. 7's throat.

No one can be sure what serious consequences would have been caused if this really happened.

It is true that this is because No. 8 was affected by the power of blood and could not control himself, but the day before, Su Ci had just combed and suppressed the power of blood for No. 8.

If it had not been stimulated by something, theoretically speaking, No. 8 would not have gone crazy again in such a short time.

Su Ci also believed that if No. 7 could be as friendly and peaceful as he is now, it would be difficult for the little wolf to have any conflicts with No. 7.

After hearing what Su Ci said, No. 7 was obviously stunned for a moment, then nodded and admitted: "Well, yes, I often fight with that big stupid wolf."

The big stupid wolf...

Su Ci probably understood the reason why the two had a bad relationship.

"Do you think No. 8 is stupid?" he asked.

No. 7 opened his eyes wide and asked innocently: "Don't you think so?"

Su Ci: "..."

Well, that little wolf is indeed not very smart sometimes.

"No. 8 may not like you saying that about him." He could only say this.

However, the little white deer has his own theory.

"Then I have to say more!"

Number 7 picked up a spoon, scooped a mouthful of vegetable jelly and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "You don't understand, if we show too weak, we will be bullied!"

Although he was almost strangled to death by Number 8 today, now thinking back, the little white deer still couldn't help but feel scared, but next time he sees Number 8, he will still not let himself show any flaws.

Because, he was almost strangled to death now, if he was weaker, would he be eaten directly by them?

Number 2 is a red flame tiger, Number 4 and Number 5 are red tail lions, and Number 8 is a night wolf. They are all the most ferocious and powerful large carnivores. Even the petite Number 3 is a carnivore.

Moreover, No. 7 has observed that No. 3's appetite is no less than that of other cubs, although he doesn't like to eat much.

Whenever facing them, No. 7 would feel an instinctive fear, but the more afraid he is, the more he cannot show it. This is the survival rule he has figured out.

And Su Ci, keenly aware of something, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "We?"

"Yes!"

The little white deer nodded vigorously, looking at Su Ci's eyes, as if he was looking at himself, or looking at a natural ally.

"They are all carnivores. If we don't want to be bullied, we have to act tough! Let them know that we are not easy to bully!"

The little boy said with high spirits, but Su Ci's focus was a little distorted.

"Do you think I'm a vegetarian?"

Su Ci felt that he had been misunderstood. Although he also ate plants, meat was his favorite. A life without meat was incomplete!

But No. 7 blinked blankly.

He looked at Su Ci, thought for a while, and said truthfully: "I don't know. I just feel at ease when I see you. There is a voice in my heart saying that you can be trusted and you shouldn't bully me."

No. 7 leaned closer to Su Ci and said seriously: "Do you really not have the blood power of a herbivore?"

In fact, it was the first time that the little white deer met someone who gave him this feeling. It was not only because the keeper looked weak, but also a feeling that he himself could not explain.

"I don't have the blood of herbivores."

Su Ci shook his head in denial, but his eyes revealed some thoughts as he looked at the child.

In his impression, deer have always been very spiritual creatures, and white deer are the most intelligent among the deer.

Maybe No. 7 can't see his identity as the spirit of the earth, but his blood power has already sensed it. This sharp perception alone is stronger than many practitioners.

What's more, he is not even six years old this year.

If it were in ancient times, he would definitely be a genius that all major sects would compete to snatch, but unfortunately... now on earth, the civilization of the human race has almost been destroyed.

The little white deer couldn't tell what Su Ci was thinking, and after hearing his denial, he could only say with regret: "Okay then."

However, even if Su Ci didn't have herbivorous blood, No. 7 wasn't surprised. After all, after he came to the nursery, all the keepers he met didn't have beast blood.

Those adults with beast blood wouldn't want to work in the nursery at all, and he had already inquired about this.

"You are an ordinary person, and you are so weak, so we should unite!"

Although No. 7 is young, he speaks very well. "Although the big stupid wolf is stupid, there is one thing we can learn from it!"

Su Ci couldn't help but be curious, "What is it?"

"When the big stupid wolf can't win a fight, it will find No. 4 and No. 5 to join forces!" No. 7 was angry.

Although he also found No. 6, the monkey -

after all, they are all herbivores, and when No. 6 goes crazy, although his destructive power is also very strong, at least he will not produce instinctive fear because of the suppression of blood, and even his legs will not be so weak that he can't run fast.

They should have been natural allies, but unfortunately, the monkey was too unreliable and only cared about his own happiness most of the time. Anyway, No. 7 didn't trust him very much.

Now, when he saw Su Ci, he felt like he saw new hope.

"Do you really need this job? Is it because your family is very poor? So even if you knew in advance that this place is so dangerous, you still want to come here to work?"

The little white deer looked at Su Ci, and his blue-black deer eyes looked particularly bright.

"..."

Poor? Su Ci thought for a moment, then nodded.

Although there may be a little discrepancy, he is indeed very poor now, and he really needs this job.

Number Seven showed an expression of "as expected".

"Since you need this job, it means you want to stay here longer, and you should listen to me even more!"

The little boy tried hard to lobby Su Ci, but it was not obvious at all that he was actually a little older than Number Five.

"I can help you stay in the nursery longer, get beaten less, go to the infirmary less often, and I can help you stay for the three assessments during the probation period!"

Number 7 said confidently.

"You also saw how crazy Number 8 was, but I tell you, the strength of that big stupid wolf is ranked fourth at most in the nursery."

Number 7 counted on his fingers, "Number 2 and Number 4 are equally matched, and they usually fight the most fiercely."

Although they are all cubs, driven by the beast instinct, they will still fight for territory and even leadership. Regardless of whether they are frenzied or not, they will fight to the death.

Anyway, as long as they are not killed, they can be rescued in the medical cabin in the end.

"Number 6 is a little bit stronger than number 8, but not much worse. Then it's me." The little white deer continued. "

Don't look at me as a herbivore. I don't have sharp teeth and claws, but I can kick people very hard. I can kick a hole in the floor."

"Besides, I have horns." He touched his antlers with fine hair. "They are too small now and not sharp enough, but they will grow in the future."

He still has the strength and talent to occupy a place in the brooding house!

"As for number three and number five, they don't like to fight, but I tell you, you can't underestimate them. They are also very powerful!"

At this time, number seven whispered, "If you make them angry, you will be in big trouble."

"Oh." Su Ci nodded.

Seeing that the keeper didn't seem to take it seriously, No. 7 couldn't help but emphasize again: "Really, if No. 3 goes crazy, he's even scarier than No. 2 and No. 4. Don't mess with him if you have nothing to do."

Su Ci knew that No. 3 had a strong mental power, but he didn't really know what No. 3's ability was until he showed it.

However, he didn't have any idea of ​​exploring other people's secrets.

"Yeah, I know." He nodded.

Hearing this, No. 7 acted like a little adult, showing an expression of "a teachable child", which made Su Ci laugh a little.

"Then since you help me so much, what do you need me to do for you?" Su Ci asked.

Hearing this question, No. 7 couldn't help but crook his eyes.

"I really didn't misjudge you!"

His little deer eyes were filled with a little smile, looking sparkling and particularly energetic, "You just need to protect me, I'll tell you the specifics later!"

After all, the keeper was so thin that he might not even be able to beat him after he went berserk, so No. 7 didn't expect him to protect himself militarily.

But in other aspects, he can always be of some use.

Su Ci looked at the brilliance in the little boy's eyes, which was another kind of vitality that was completely different from that of the wolf cub, but equally dazzling.

Perhaps for this young white deer, the nursery is like a den of dragons and tigers, so he feels so insecure - even if it is the keeper's duty to protect the cubs, he still has to rely on alliances to get protection...

Su Ci nodded slightly.

However, in the smiling eyes of the little boy, he still said: "Maybe, you can change the way you get along with No. 8."

"What?" No. 7 looked at him puzzled.

"You are very smart."

Hearing the keeper say this, No. 7 nodded very confidently. Yes, he is very smart, he has always thought so.

"So, you will find that even without using tough methods, you can actually protect yourself."

Su Ci doesn't like to use force to solve problems - of course, there are very few situations that require him to use force.

No. 7 was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Su Ci. No one had ever taught him this. All his current experience was gained by himself.

"For example?" He asked curiously.

Su Ci thought about it carefully and said, "You can try to praise No. 8."

Hearing this, No. 7's expectant face suddenly wrinkled into a ball. He said with disgust, "What's there to praise about that big stupid wolf?"

Su Ci disagreed, "Didn't you just say that he would team up with No. 4 and No. 5? You teamed up with me because you learned it from No. 8, didn't you?"

So, although No. 8 is sometimes stupid, he is not without merits to praise.

No. 7 choked, it was indeed true... He couldn't help but puff up his cheeks.

"But I don't have a good relationship with him."

The little boy said angrily, "Praising him... is not the same as admitting defeat? That big stupid wolf is usually very arrogant. If I praise him, his tail will fly up to the sky, right?"

At this time, No. 7 finally acted like a real six-year-old child, showing his immature side.

"Don't you want to protect yourself?" Su Ci said.

"But...but..." Number Seven frowned and retorted, "What does this have to do with praising him? He hit me, and I still praise him? I won't do such a thing!"

"He almost strangled me to death today, and he didn't even apologize to me!"

At this point, perhaps the fear of facing death at that time came to his mind again, and the little boy couldn't help but choke, and said in a particularly aggrieved tone, "Why should I praise him?"

There was an obvious cry in his voice, and his pair of doe eyes turned red, which made him look particularly pitiful.

Realizing that he had revealed such a weak side, No. 7 suddenly stopped talking.

He lowered his head, grabbed the spoon, scooped up jelly vegetables one spoonful after another, and stuffed them into his mouth silently.

That forbearing little look was particularly stubborn.

But his stubbornness was different from that of other children.

Su Ci couldn't describe it. After all, he didn't have much experience getting along with human children, and as the spirit of the earth, he would basically not encounter the same situation as little No. 7. He

thought about it, and gently placed his palm on the top of the child's head, "Sorry, are you okay?"

No. 7, who was trying to adjust his mood, heard the young man's somewhat gentle and comforting voice, and suddenly couldn't hold it back anymore, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch again.

"Plop--"

Drops of water fell on the plate.

Number 7's body stiffened for a moment. He did not answer the keeper's words. He wiped his eyes with his little hand, then continued to hold the spoon and put his dinner into his mouth one bite at a time.

Su Ci retracted his hand, looked at the silent little boy, and felt the thorny situation for the first time.

He thought about it and said, "I just think that if you give it a try, you may have unexpected gains."

Number 7 continued to eat in silence without responding to him.

In fact, it's not that he didn't want to respond, but he was afraid that if he spoke, he would burst into tears again.

Su Ci glanced at the time, stood up and said, "I should go, eat well."

After that, he really left.

Hearing the footsteps, Number 7 raised his head and watched the keeper leave. He watched the metal door open and close, and he was left alone in the room again.

The silver-haired little boy held the spoon in his hand for a long time before he sniffed and raised his left hand to wipe the tears from his face.

He didn't understand why he was crying just now, but he suddenly couldn't control himself. This

is so embarrassing...

Will this affect his alliance with the breeder?

It should be okay, right? Number Five is also very fond of crying. Although Number Eight says she dislikes her, she will still protect her... But she has Number Four as her brother.

He is different from Number Five.

Looking at the closed metal door, the little boy sniffed again, his blue-black deer eyes were wet, as if he was going to cry again in the next second.

Just by lowering his head, his eyes lit up slightly.

He saw a potato chip next to his plate, and he had never smelled that faint spicy aroma before. When did

the keeper put it here?

Number Seven raised his hand again to wipe away the tears that were gushing out. When he was about to pick up the potato chip, he subconsciously retracted his hand and wiped it on his cub clothes before picking it up.

It smells so good.

Number Seven put the potato chip under his nose and sniffed it gently.

He opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and put the potato chip down, climbed up to wash his face in the bathroom, then poured a glass of water and drank several mouthfuls. After there was no taste of vegetables and fruits in his mouth, he ran back to pick up the potato chip again.

"Crunch--"

Number Seven took a small bite, and the next second, he was conquered by the wonderful taste!

This smell... is so fragrant!

He has never eaten anything so delicious! It turns out... that the tubers of plants can be so delicious?

The little white deer, who had never eaten anything other than vegetables, fruits and frozen nutritious food in his life, was instantly addicted to this spicy smell.

His mood naturally turned completely from gloomy to sunny.

Thinking that this was given to him by the keeper, the little boy laughed happily.

He felt that he had really found the right ally this time!

This was the first time that No. 7 talked so much to someone.

He felt that Keeper Su was listening carefully. Although he gave a very unreliable suggestion, the chat just now was still a very pleasant experience for No. 7.

He originally wanted to seek an alliance with Dr. Gu. Among all the adults he could come into contact with, Dr. Gu gave him the weakest feeling and was the friendliest to them.

But now, he seemed to have a better choice.

Thinking back to the hand that had just landed on his head, No. 7 couldn't help but be a little dazed.

This was the first time he had been touched on the head.

He used to be very resistant to this kind of thing. Whoever wanted to touch his head would be dodged by him, and he would even kick them.

But the feeling just now seemed not bad?

It's just... Hey, I wonder how long this keeper Su can stay in the nursery? He looks so thin, and his wrists are so thin, it seems that they will break if bent.

Without his help, would he not be able to last even a week?

This won't do!

No matter what, we still have to help him stay first. Who knows if the next keeper will be that tall and strong again?

He doesn't dare to form an alliance with such a threatening adult - it's not because he is timid, but those adults themselves give him an unfriendly feeling.

There was only one piece of potato chips, which was quickly eaten up. The little white deer continued to eat his frozen vegetables and fruits.

Although the keeper now looks unreliable, he is an adult after all, and can do much more than him, and he still has potato chips...

Number Seven swallowed his saliva, and then came to the conclusion - he still has to work hard to win over this keeper Su!

However, now that they are allies, then...

should we really try his suggestion?

Number 7 tilted his head, and his silvery white curls trembled slightly with his movement.

Although he really didn't want to praise Number 8, adults were very conceited and would not listen to children at all. Therefore, if he wanted their alliance to continue, he had to let this keeper know

how naive his ideas were and how unreliable his suggestions were, so that he would not speak nonsense again in the future!

Moreover, this also showed his sincerity.

But do we really need to praise number eight? The little boy's face wrinkled up again, and a fierce struggle between reason and emotion began.

In the end, he decided...

to finish dinner first and think about it later!

The little white deer grabbed the spoon again and started to eat seriously.

Speaking of which, the medical spray from the keeper is really useful. His throat doesn't hurt at all now! In the afternoon, swallowing saliva felt very painful.

The little white deer couldn't help thinking that this keeper is still useful. He knew to carry a bottle of medical spray with him just a few days after he came.

If only the keeper could get him a bottle, he wouldn't have to worry about not getting timely treatment when he gets hurt...

Su Ci, who had been standing in the corridor for a while, breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head gently.

A Yan is still the best. These human kids...

are a little hard to understand.

After making sure that No. 7 was fine, Su Ci turned around and went downstairs. When he returned to room 403, No. 8 had already finished his dinner.

As for the potato chips that he had planned to save for tomorrow, he couldn't help it in the end and ate them all.

Seeing the keeper reappear, the little wolf cub curled his lips. Although he was a little reluctant, he still kept his promise and stood up obediently, preparing to return to his room with the keeper.

Su Ci did not enter, but stood at the door waiting for him.

The young boy drooped his ears, and his big tail also hung low, dragging on the ground, and walked towards the keeper step by step.

There was a message of sadness from No. 8's body, and he was no longer the happy little wolf cub before.

However, just after he took two steps, a small hand suddenly reached out and gently grabbed his sleeve from behind.

Although No. 3's force was very light, No. 8 still felt it.

He was slightly stunned and turned back subconsciously.

No. 3 grabbed his sleeve and raised his little head slightly, but his pair of light blue eyes were still lifeless.

Looking at this friend who he had just become familiar with, No. 8 couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that No. 3 was reluctant to let him stay overnight?

If that was the case, then he wouldn't have to go back to the room and stay alone!

No. 8 was immediately excited, and the big tail that had drooped behind him rose high again and swayed wildly. Looking at No. 3, his green eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

Although No. 3 couldn't see, he could still feel No. 8's passion that was as hot as fire. Obviously... the color of his mental power was cyan.
