"It...it survived..." Xiao Liu's voice trembled, filled with unbelievable joy.
Qi Xu nodded, the gloom in his eyes lessening somewhat. He reached out and gently touched the little guy's downy feathers with his uninjured wing, the soft touch easing his tense nerves.
“Let’s give it a name.” Qi Xu’s voice was hoarse, but it carried an unprecedented firmness. “Let’s call it ‘Nian’, to commemorate our departed clansmen and to cherish the hope of living on.”
"Okay, Little Eight is so cute."
"Nian ba, little nan bian ba..."
Qi Xu looked at Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, Nian, and Xiao Lao Ba with a hint of helplessness. They all sounded alright, but put together, they sounded a bit like "turtle"...
Oh well, as long as everyone's happy.
"You guys rest here. My parents are also seriously injured and probably can't be moved here in a short time. I have to go and keep watch over them."
Hong nodded, "Xiao Qi, you can go without worry. Leave this to me. Let Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu watch over Xiao Ba. I'll go find them some food."
Qi Xu hesitated for a moment, then decided to go to the granary with Xiao Wu and Hong first. Although it had been mostly destroyed by the sleeping behemoth, the food inside was still intact and needed to be moved over as soon as possible.
My parents need food too. Going there to watch over them now would only make them worry, and it wouldn't do any good. I'm all grown up now, and I can't just be called the young clan leader for nothing. I have to support the hopes of the Great Blackbird Clan.
Without hesitation, the three ignored their still-bleeding wounds and quickly traversed the valley and cliffs, making countless trips back and forth until they finally carried back most of the food. The rest, however, was trapped under a boulder.
With our current strength, there's simply no way we can obtain it.
Although there is less food, there are also fewer people in the tribe, so there will definitely be enough to eat for a short time. Only the newborn little ones have weaker digestive systems and may only be able to eat some fresh small insects, so we will have to catch them for them. The food for everyone else is guaranteed.
Qi Xu didn't want to rest for even a minute, and hurriedly ran to the big black bird's father and mother. The closer he got, the more panicked he became, fearing that when he arrived, he would find two cold corpses.
A mother's heart is connected to her child's; the mother black bird completely understood Qi Xu's anxiety and unease. So, as soon as she heard her baby's breathing, she hurriedly called out, "Baby..."
"Mother.."
Qi Xu instantly felt relieved. The bleeding wings no longer hurt, the chest that had been so tired that she could barely breathe was now able to breathe normally, and her heart, which had been pounding and bouncing up and down, could finally settle down.
Qi Xu darted into the smelly haystack, accurately landing in her parents' arms, and breathed a sigh of relief with immense happiness.
Thank goodness, thank goodness, Mom and Dad are still alive.
Knowing that her parents were worried about the situation of their people, Qi Xu explained, "When Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and I heard the noise, we immediately took them away and ran to a very safe place."
I just went back to the valley again. Hong is still alive. I took him to meet up with Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu. Little Lao Ba was also born. He's sparsely haired and not as cute as I was when I was a child.
Xiao Liu dotes on it. We just caught some insects for it to eat, and it's already asleep. We just went back to the valley and brought back a lot of food..."
