It was a novel thing to her that such natural phenomena took place very often.
âSo it has nothing to do with me?â
Muir replied, âEn, those are all lies! You just take care and give birth to a nest of chubby babies.â
Bai Qingqing rubbed her eyes forcefully; they still felt sore and swollen. Even after having gotten some sleep, they were still a little puffy.
She had cried so embarrassingly earlier. She was someone who was going to be giving birth a second time. She mustnât be so embarrassing in the future!
âEn, thank you.â Bai Qingqing looked and gave Muir a grateful smile.
As Bai Qingqing got to feel the existence of her children, the suppressed feeling that had been accumulating in her heart was all swept away. She felt that even her chest felt a lot lighter.
Muirâs expression also became relaxed as he said, âI was anxious to look for you earlier and had thrown all the food outside. Iâll go pick it up.â
âI want to go too. I should move a little. Itâll be good for the children.â
Muir carried Bai Qingqing and went down the tree. The food was still on the floor and Muir picked it up. Other than pine nuts, there were also hard olive-shaped fruits and a few green coconuts.
Muir first opened up a coconut for Bai Qingqing and passed it to her.
Bai Qingqing drank a few big mouthfuls before picking up a hard fruit and asked, âWhatâs this? Itâs so hard. Can it be eaten?â
Muir smiled and took the fruit from Bai Qingqingâs hand. He pinched it gently and the fruitâs shell, hard as a rock when Bai Qingqing was holding it, shattered.
Bai Qingqing only recognized that it was a pecan after seeing the brain-shaped brown flesh inside.
These things were expensive and she hardly had a chance to eat them. She liked them a lot.
âSo thatâs it. I like to eat this,â Bai Qingqing said in surprise, picking up a piece of the shattered nut and popping it in her mouth.
Muir wasnât any less surprised than Bai Qingqing was, and he looked at her expression in anticipation.
Bai Qingqing chewed on it and the elation on her face became a little faint.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although it didnât taste bad, it was different from the taste in her memories. The texture was completely different as well. It wasnât crunchy at all.
The ones sold had all been toasted, so this should be how raw pecans tasted.
Bai Qingqing asked excitedly, âCan you get me a pot? I want to toast these nuts.â
âYouâre so mischievous.â Muir tapped her nose and said affectionately, âThen Iâll go make one from stone. Do you want to stay here and play or should I send you up?â
His action was a little affectionate and Bai Qingqing couldnât help but turn her head away and walk toward the river. âIâll cool down by the river. You can go ahead.â
Muir looked at her back view and said, âAlright.â
After Bai Qingqingâs stomach got bigger, she started to frequently need to go to the washroom. It was the same when she was pregnant with the snake babies. Bai Qingqing almost couldnât hold it in anymore now that it had been a few hours since she had gone to the washroom. The reason she came down was that she wanted to go to the sandpit.
Putting the food down by a tree, Bai Qingqing held onto her stomach and quickly walked toward the sandpit.
There was a need to introduce the peacock tribeâs sandpit. As they were located close to the sea, there was plenty of sand around. Therefore, the sand in the pits here was always very clean.
However, this was a public sandpit, so females would come over at any moment. Males rarely came. They took care of their businesses when they went out to look for food. However, when they were in the village, they would also use it.
Even with the many plants in the surroundings acting as shields, Bai Qingqing was still on tenterhooks every time she visited it.
She entered the sandpit, took a few looks around, and then quickly went about her with business.
The plants at the side let out rustling sounds, causing Bai Qingqing, in the middle of urinating, to forcibly stop it, lift her pants, and stand up.
The plants didnât shake too badly, so Bai Qingqing guessed that it should be a female.
