Although the cave was very simple and close to the lake, the temperature at night was much more damp and cold than usual.
Even wrapped in a blanket, Du Lushu could still feel gusts of cold wind. He yawned, and despite the cold, he was so tired that he quickly fell asleep.
After all, the flight was bumpy and uneven, and he didn't have the chance to enjoy any special care from Old Axe. He was forced to lie on Old Axe's back, using all his strength to keep himself stable, which prevented him from slipping and falling from the sky.
Of course, Du Lushu wouldn't be dissatisfied with such a small matter. He was a grown man and didn't want to be treated like a little princess, constantly pampered by the old man. That would be too nauseating.
Cheng Shuang slept in Big Axe's arms. It has to be said that the thick fur was really windproof. She didn't feel any cold wind or chill. Her little face was rosy as she slept. Sometimes, when she was warmed up, she would unconsciously kick off the fluffy "thick blanket" covering her.
At this time of day, she would always kick the 'thick blanket' awake, her big cat eyes widening alertly. When she realized what was attacking her, she would purr helplessly and affectionately, licking her cold little paws that were exposed, and then tucking them back into her arms.
At dawn, the dazzling sunlight streamed through the water into the cave, driving away all the chilly air. Before the little girl woke up from the heat, the old axe would get up, pull over a thin sheet, and cover her little belly.
Then, on its tiptoes, it walked over to the pile of instruments and started fiddling with them. During this time, Du Lushui was woken up by the heat of his blanket. Just as he got up to wake Cheng Shuang, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He subconsciously turned around warily and saw that Big Axe was glaring at him fiercely, raising its forelimbs and making a vicious shushing gesture at him.
Du Lushui choked. Was Liehu raising pigs? If it weren't for the rest stop, this golden finger gave them confidence, Cheng Shuang would have been fattened up by it long ago.
That's just spoiling the child way too much.
Like last time, the little girl just casually remarked how beautiful the stars were, and Old Axe insisted on taking them to the largest meteorite crater on Animal Planet, and risked breaking off a rock to sneak into the nearby Academy of Sciences for Cold-Blooded Animals, where he used a small piece of meteorite to make a star-shaped necklace for the little girl.
Of course, all harmful radioactive materials, such as radiation, on the meteorite have been eliminated. But it still came into direct contact with it, which caused severe hair loss that day. It was only thanks to a hair growth serum that its thick fur was preserved.
Du Lushui witnessed the incredible physical strength of the animals on Animal Planet, and also learned what true pampering really meant.
Helplessly, he made a zipping motion near his mouth, tiptoed to Liehu's side, and watched as it fiddled with the device for a few moments before it started operating on its own. He gave Liehu a thumbs up.
Last night, the energy-generating device was created using water flow, entirely by Old Axe himself; he knew nothing about it.
Big Axe grinned at him. Although it sometimes ignored this human, it was genuinely grateful to him for the many times it could spend alone with the baby, and it had made quite a few concessions.
Du Lushui chuckled silently, the unspoken understanding between the man and the tiger.
Just as Cheng Shuang was about to wake up, Big Axe leaped out of the waterfall and jumped into the lake. Using its sonic device, it caught fish and shrimp in the lake, picked out the juveniles and released them back into the lake, then picked out a few large river shrimp and fish, and dumped the rest of the smaller ones into the food processor. After confirming that the food processor was working properly, it turned around and lay on the edge of the water curtain to start processing the remaining river delicacies.
After tidying up and lighting the stove, it took out a plate-shaped metal sheet, spread the support legs and placed it on the fire, brushed some soybean oil on it, and placed the sliced fish into the hot oil pan, staring intently at it.
Fry until golden brown, then immediately set aside.
The fragrance slowly spread throughout the cave, and Cheng Shuang almost woke up by sniffing.
As soon as she realized where she was, she jumped off the stone bed and excitedly pounced on her father, asking, "What are we eating today?"
Du Lushui looked at their little stationmaster with complicated eyes. How many steps does it take for a sensible child to turn into a gluttonous little foodie?
For Cheng Shuang, perhaps all it takes is one step: having a doting father who spoils her endlessly!
"Daddy will make fried shrimp for baby. Didn't baby say yesterday that he wanted to eat it? Although Daddy can't make KFC or pizza dishes, Daddy can make fried fish and fried shrimp."
The little girl happily rubbed against Axe Daddy's big, thick legs, and excitedly tiptoed to give him several random kisses on the chin before turning around and running off to wash up.
"Baby, there's mouthwash and a washcloth on the table. Daddy's done. I'll put some lotion on you in a little while."
Cheng Shuang, of course, didn't need Axe Baba to apply perfume to her. In fact, she hadn't used skin cream for a long time. She threw the washcloth into the recycling bin and then pulled Du Lushui to sit obediently at the stone table that served as a dining table. She looked at Axe Baba with expectant eyes as he skillfully peeled out whole shrimp, his large and sharp claws seemingly capable of anything.
Big Axe thoroughly enjoyed the adoring gaze of his baby, his claws almost leaving afterimages as he slashed. Finally, he sprinkled seasoning on the slightly cooled fish slices and shrimp, placed them on two plates, and brought them to the table.
Although the method of preparation was different from the fried shrimp that Cheng Shuang usually ate, the taste was surprisingly good.
Big Axe continues to eat the mixed food made by the food processor. It doesn't have many requirements for food; it just wants to take care of its baby as much as possible and be good to it during the limited time it spends with it.
Old Axe wasn't completely disregarding the little girl's health and spoiling her excessively. After she finished eating the fried food, he took out a bottle of fruit and vegetable juice and watched her drink it gently, saying, "Baby, you need to have a balanced diet. We don't have to be picky eaters."
Cheng Shuang hugged the bottle, let out a delicate burp, then covered her mouth shyly, nodded with a smile, and agreed.
Her adorable and well-behaved appearance was so cute that Old Axe wanted nothing more than to hold her and never let go.
Du Lushui has started trying to contact Du Lanshan and the others in the past two days. The communication petals of the Four Seas have been upgraded. As long as the petals are sincerely given to his companions, they can be used to communicate with each other without him having to complete the consciousness connection.
When the old axe jumped back into the lake to wash away the smell of cooking oil, someone finally replied to him.
Cheng Shuang was studying the equipment that Da Laofu had brought via the compression container when she heard Du Lushui sigh. She turned around in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Did you manage to contact them?"
Du Lushui rubbed her temples and hesitated.
"Have they encountered danger?" the little girl exclaimed.
“No.” Du Lushu shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he finally decided not to hide it. “The three of them went directly to the territory of cold-blooded animals. They have been hiding for several days. Yesterday, they accidentally entered a laboratory and discovered that the gene virus has mutated again.”
Therefore, their conjecture is very likely to become a reality soon!
