"Touch it quickly. If you don't touch it, the penguin egg will freeze to death." Qi Leren encouraged Ning Zhou with a smile.

Thirteen-year-old Ning Zhou had a handsome face, and his face was full of hesitation.

The tall penguins stared at him, increasingly suspected that the uninvited guest was the penguin egg that craved them.

"Hey, poor little penguin, it's easy to freeze to death without his father's body temperature... Its cruel new father doesn't want to care about its life or death, and he is not happy to even ask about the temperature of the hatched eggs. He is such a cruel father." Qi Leren sighed aside.

"I... I just touch it." Ning Zhou was aroused by Qi Leren and made up his mind to grab a penguin.

The penguin screamed in panic, and saw the Holy See's boy suddenly put his cold-cold hand into his pupil...

He really wanted to steal eggs!

The penguin father was furious and bowed his head and pecked.

"!" Ning Zhou suddenly pulled his hand back, and a blood hole was pecked out of the back of his hand.

Qi Leren was shocked: "Penguin is so fierce?"

Ning Zhou glanced at him resentfully: "Of course the penguins during childcare are fierce."

Qi Leren couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and he stepped forward and touched Ning Zhou's hand.

Ning Zhou instinctively wanted to pull it back, but the mixed-blood succubus cub grabbed him tightly and did not let go, put it beside his mouth and blew it: "It doesn't hurt, it's for you."

Ning Zhou suddenly remembered that he would occasionally be naughty when he was young, and he was injured outside and returned home with tears in his eyes. His mother Maria also held his hand in this way, coaxing and comforting him lovingly.

Of course, it is impossible to heal the wound by coaxing alone. The final healing of the Holy See's healing technique, but Ning Zhou felt that before the healing technique fell on the wound, he no longer felt pain.

The mixed-blood succubus cub held his injured hand as if he was holding some precious treasure.

A silver-white spot of light spread out from his palm, and a gentle and tough force surrounded the wound, easily eliminating the pain. In the blink of an eye, his wound healed.

"Although I can't learn magic, I can cure you." The mixed-blood succubus cub blinked and boasted in a slightly proud tone.

The young Ning Zhou was silent, his ears were slightly red in the wind and snow. After a long time, he whispered: "Thank you."

He completely forgot who encouraged him to touch the penguin's puppy, which made Qi Leren even more ashamed. He said as if nothing had happened: "I suddenly thought that my rebirth origin might help you hatch this penguin egg, so you don't have to test the temperature anymore."

"It's okay, I can try again." Ning Zhou said.

This time he changed his approach and squatted down to look straight with the penguin. The penguin father still looked at him with a vigilant look. Ning Zhou tentatively touched the penguin's beak. The penguin looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what this human was trying to do.

Ning Zhou was brave enough to scratch the penguin's cheeks as if he was scratching the big cat's chin. The penguin shuddered and raised the bird's beak comfortably: Touch, touch quickly, touch hard!

Seeing that the penguin who was still fierce just now was conquered, Qi Leren was stunned: "What kind of magic is this?"

Ning Zhou, who was picking penguins seriously: "Penguins, like birds, can clean their bodies with their beaks, but because they don't have hands, they can't touch the position of their faces. If they touch them, they will feel very comfortable."

Qi Leren looked at Ning Zhou with bright eyes: "How did you know?"

Ning Zhou pursed his lips: "I guess."

Qi Leren: "?"

Ning Zhou: "I have never touched penguins, but I have touched other animals, and they all like to be touched."

Qile people infer from their own experience: "Cat? Dog?"

Ning Zhou thought for a while: "Absolutely."

The answer was a bit strange, and Qi Leren asked in confusion: "What does it mean?"

Ning Zhou: "The variety is similar, but the size is a bit big."

Qi Leren realized something, and his face suddenly changed: "What you said, shouldn't it be..."

Ning Zhou looked calm: "I have read the books on the biological fields. Tigers belong to the family Cats and wolfs belong to the family Canines. Although there are differences in body shapes, their habits are similar."

Good guy, this is really good guy, our childhood is different!

When he was a child, he recruited cats and dogs, and when Ning Zhou was a child, he raped tigers and wolves, and accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with animals.

Qi Leren was shocked and curious about this, and he asked repeatedly.

"The green field south of Yongwu Township has a large reserve surrounded by a large area, with many animals inside. If you like it, I will take you to see it another day." Ning Zhou said.

"Is it a wild animal?" Qi Leren asked.

"That's right. When the Holy See was still in the Holy City, there was a large zoo. Later, after relocating to Yongwu Township, after the supply of materials was tight, they were no longer in captivity and instead left-in stocking. They breed in mountainous areas where they cannot be cultivated. The climate in the southern part of Yongwu Township is much warmer than here, and it is a production area for grain and animal husbandry products." Ning Zhou said.

Never Township is a field, with ice and snow in the central area, but there are still planting belts in the surrounding area, otherwise it would not be able to support so many people here.

But compared to the once warm and fertile holy city, it is an indisputable fact.

The two chatted, and the penguins around had "discovered" Ning Zhou's identity - this was not an egg thief, but a free massage master, so several penguins came over with courage and rubbed his arm friendly, and wanted to have a free massage service.

Ning Zhou was too busy, and Qi Leren also helped and happily started to pick up the penguin.

Ning Zhou finally took over the penguin that had just pecked his hand and successfully found out the temperature in the parenting bag: "Its feathers are very thick, and the feathers between the legs wrap the whole egg. The temperature inside is about the same as that of a person's body temperature."

"That's great, that's simple. As long as we control the temperature, we can definitely hatch the eggs." Qi Leren said optimistically.

Ning Zhou nodded: "I remember this season, the little penguin is about to hatch..."

A slight click sound came from his ears. The two of them keenly caught the sound and looked at the penguin father who was enjoying the massage service at the same time.

The penguin father bent down in confusion, lifted up the parenting bag between his legs like a white blanket, revealing the penguin egg. A small hole was pecked out of the eggshell, and a cry like a little chicken came out from it, and it was a little penguin with eyes closed!

Qi Leren suddenly looked at Ning Zhou. Ning Zhou held his breath and felt the penguin eggs covered in his clothes also moved.

Qi Leren: "Is it going to hatch?"

Ning Zhou: "Yes!"

The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, and the words "at a loss" were written on their faces.

Qi Leren: "I have never been a father."

Ning Zhou: "I don't have either."

Qi Leren became more and more panicked and said stupid words: "I'll find some milk for it?"

Ning Zhou: "...The little penguin doesn't drink milk."

Qi Leren: "Then what does it eat?"

Ning Zhou pondered for a moment: "The fish is so slutty."

Qi Leren's expression was entangled for a moment, and suddenly grabbed Ning Zhou's arm and said solemnly: "You go home now, I'll go fishing."

"When you come back from fishing, the little penguin has starved to death." Ning Zhou said coldly.

"What should I do?"

Ning Zhou took out a few silver coins and handed them to Qi Leren. This was the pocket money he had finally saved. He originally planned to buy some private wine with the merchant, but now it seems that he can only buy fish.

"We'll go back and take action separately. You go buy fish and I'll continue to hatch eggs." Ning Zhou said.

Qi Leren didn't know that this unexpected egg emptied Ning Zhou's private money: "Okay!"

……………………

This unexpected penguin egg made the two completely forget the dispute that had not long ago.

Qi Leren returned to Ning Zhou's room with two strings of frozen big fish: "I thought the fish here were very cheap, but I didn't expect it to be very expensive."

"There are not many fishing catches in the countryside. The nearest coast is hundreds of kilometers away. You can't catch fish this season," Ning Zhou explained.

"Yes, it's not the land of dusk." Qi Leren said casually.

Ning Zhou, who was originally focusing on building a nest for penguin eggs, was stunned when he heard this: "Have you been to the hometown of dusk?"

Oh no, I missed it! In this copy, he has lived in the Jinghai Desert since he was a child and has never been to the dusk land.

Qi Leren was wise in a hurry: "I heard that you came from the dusk land, which was in the Dongji Diocese on the sea. There must be a lot of sea fish."

Ning Zhou did not doubt that he was: "Yes, but I don't like to eat."

"Why?"

"Hate fish bones."

Qi Leren burst out laughing: "You haven't been stuck with fish bones, have you?"

“…”

Ning Zhou's suspicious silence and embarrassing expressions have already explained everything. Qi Leren was even more happy. He asked about Ning Zhou's experience of living in the dusk land when he was a child. Ning Zhou said intermittently, how did he learn swordsmanship from Teacher Arnold and how he was selected into the church choir. The golden setting sun that never fell was the background of his childhood world.

"But on the eve of the establishment day every year, the sunset will set the horizon, night falls and fireworks rise, which is the most beautiful time in the dusk land. If you have the chance, you must go and have a look." Ning Zhou said to Qi Leren.

Qi Leren lay on the bed to take care of the penguin egg, holding his cheeks with his hands, and looking forward to it: "Okay, let's go back to the dusk country together, you can be a guide for me, and let's go see the fireworks of the Creation Day together."

Ning Zhou lowered his eyes. The founding day was his birthday, but this year's birthday was destined to be spent alone in being forgotten by everyone.

Does Qi Leren remember his birthday? He probably doesn't remember it. Although they talked about each other's birthdays before, he shouldn't take it seriously.

It doesn’t matter, Ning Zhou thought to himself, this is just a birthday, he always has to get used to it.

Qi Leren didn't know Ning Zhou's complicated mood at this time, so he was worried about the penguin eggs. They pushed the bed to the fireplace, used scarves to make a nest for hatching eggs, and hid the nest in the quilt. They were worried that the temperature of hatching eggs was too high, so they had to put their hands into the quilt from time to time to try the temperature.

In order to prevent the little penguin from being suffocated in the egg, Qi Leren also secretly used his rebirth origin to "cheate" it intermittently to "recharge" it to ensure that the little guy in the eggshell is full of vitality.

"The little penguin should be quite edible, right?" Qi Leren muttered, "I don't know how many days I can eat the fish I bought."
