After Li Mengxi had been busy for a few days, one day, Li Mengxi suddenly discovered that his younger brother was behaving strangely. The child put one hand into his clothes and covered his armpits, and held it up with the other hand. He didn't know what he was doing.

"Xiao Bian, what's wrong with your arm?" Li Mengxi asked curiously.

The younger brother took his hand out of his clothes and showed an egg to Li Mengxi. "I'm incubating a chick." Xiao Bian said seriously.

Li Mengxi was stunned. The guard behind Xiao Bian who was responsible for looking after Xiao Bian was dumbfounded with laughter.

When he went to the hiding place, Li Mengxi asked the guard what happened, and the guard told the truth with a smile.

The thing is like this, two days ago, Xiao Bian was running around with his friends with the chickens. The children didn't know how the chickens became. Some children said that the chickens were hatched by hens.

"How did it hatch?" Xiao Bian asked his friends curiously.

"The eggs were hatched in the armpit of the old hen," said the eldest child.

Then Xiao Bian got interested and wanted to hatch a chick, so he stuffed an egg under his arm to hatch the chick.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but look at his brother, this guy is so stupid.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but think of a story about the great inventor Edison. That guy was also a silly kid who hatched eggs.

He looked intently at his younger brother, who was holding his hands under his armpits and hatching chicks with a serious look on his face, his nose sniffling, and after looking at him for a long time, Li Mengxi smiled.

This kid might become a great person.

Li Mengxi walked towards his younger brother. He touched his head and said, "Little brother, you hatched a chick, can you give one to your brother?"

"Okay!" the younger brother replied happily.

Then, Xiao Bian thought that he had only hatched one egg, and the hatched chick was given to his brother, and he was gone.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Bian asked Li Mengxi for more eggs.

Of course Li Mengxi would give it.

Li Mengxi chose to protect his silly brother's innocent, curious and childish thoughts of seeking knowledge. Li Mengxi issued a notice to everyone. He asked everyone not to say anything about people not being able to hatch chicks or saying stupid things in front of Xiao Bian.

This unique announcement reached a wide range of areas, including patrolling soldiers, women in the women's and children's camps, teachers, and craftsmen. Even Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Lu Zhi were solemnly warned by Li Mengxi.

This inexplicable announcement made people confused. Although they didn't understand it very well, it was not a big deal and people would cooperate with Li Mengxi.

Little Brick is so obsessed with hatching eggs that he even sleeps with the eggs in his armpits at night.

Li Mengxi was secretly happy, he had anticipated what would happen.

Li Mengxi slept in separate beds with his younger brother without leaving a trace, staying far away from his younger brother.

After a night passed, Li Mengxi was woken up in the morning by his brother crying that the eggs were gone.

This guy slept with an egg in his nest, and sure enough he crushed the egg.

Li Mengxi was helpless, so he had to comfort his brother, and then moved the bedding out to find someone to remove and wash it. When he came back, Li Mengxi brought a basin of hot water and scrubbed his brother thoroughly.

"Stop crying." Li Mengxi wiped the tears from his brother's eyes, "Let's just get two more eggs."

——

Li Mengxi found a hen that was nesting in a nest. He put aside all his chores and took his younger brother to observe the hen that was hatching eggs.

Guidance is indispensable in this process.

"Xiao Bian, who do you think will hatch the chick?" Li Mengxi asked with a smile.

"It must be me! I hatched first!" Xiao Bian said in a sweet voice, with a look of confidence on his face.

Li Mengxi smiled.

The two brothers Li Mengxi who hatched the eggs, in the following days, every day, as soon as they opened their eyes and finished eating, they ran to the hen in the nest to watch the hen hatching the eggs.

Every day is spent incubating eggs. The hen is incubating the eggs. Little Brick neither runs nor jumps. He puts his little hands under his armpits and is also incubating the eggs.

Every day, Li Mengxi would ask, "Xiao Bian, which of you will hatch the chick first?"

"I will hatch the chick first!" Xiao Bian said with great confidence.

The days passed day by day.

Finally, one day came, the hen hatched the egg, and a little chick came out.

Xiao Bian lost this extremely important competition and looked very disappointed.

Li Mengxi keenly observed Xiao Bian's emotions, and he patiently encouraged him, "Let him hatch the chick first, and let's hatch the most beautiful chick, okay?"

"Okay!" Xiao Bian immediately became excited again.

The rules of the competition have changed, and the content of the competition has changed to see who can hatch more beautiful chicks.

The days passed day by day.

The hens are very awesome. The chicks that have broken out of their shells have come out one after another in the past few days, and the chicks have quickly formed a flock.

Every day you can see old hens hatching eggs for a while, then coming out of the nest to take care of the chicks, and then going out to hatch the eggs again.

Li Mengxi was able to observe some of the habits of hens hatching eggs. It turned out that this was the case. It turned out that hens would raise their babies while incubating eggs.

The eggs hatched by Xiao Bian have not broken out of their shells yet, but fortunately, Xiao Bian has always believed that he will hatch the most beautiful chick, and he is still full of confidence.

In this way, time passed day by day, and the hen hatched more and more chicks. In the end, all the eggs were hatched, and the hen and a group of twittering chicks pecked on the ground all day long.

After that, the chick also grew up day by day.

Until this time, there was still no movement at all from the eggs hatched by Xiao Brick.

Li Mengxi couldn't deceive him anymore, and Xiao Bian had noticed something was wrong. His expression became more and more serious day by day.

At night, Li Mengxi quietly took the egg out of his brother's arms, then lit it with a candle.

Something seemed wrong. The egg that had been incubated by Xiao Brick for many days was clear and translucent inside, with no shadow at all in the candlelight.

This is a question that even Li Mengxi can't answer. It's such a shame, why the egg didn't hatch.

a new day.

On this day, Li Mengxi still accompanied his brother to observe the hen.

The chickens have grown up a lot, and the chickens started fighting among themselves.

Li Mengxi and his brother watched the chickens pecking for a long time with great interest.

"Brother." Xiao Bian suddenly raised his head and looked over. There was confusion in his big eyes, and he couldn't hide the loss, "Why didn't I hatch a chick?"

Li Mengxi couldn't answer it.

It shouldn't be an egg problem, I specifically found two fertilized eggs before.

"Uh, um... should we incubate it for two more days and see?" Li Mengxi touched his brother's little head and comforted him with a smile.

"...Okay." The younger brother nodded, quietly put his hands under his armpits, and continued to hatch the eggs.

Two more days passed.

The egg still didn't move.

Li Mengxi already knew this would be the result.

Xiao Bian's little hand held two eggs that were warmed by him. He turned the eggs over and over for a long time, and even put his ears to hear if there were any chickens chirping inside.

"Little Brick." Li Mengxi gave timely guidance, "How about we open the eggs and take a look?"

"Okay!" Xiao Bian nodded vigorously.

Li Mengxi found a bowl, put the bowl away, picked up the egg, and put it on the edge of the bowl. "I knocked it," he reminded.

Xiao Bian squatted aside and watched eagerly.

Card.

Li Mengxi knocked the egg on the bowl, and the eggshell broke easily.

At the moment when the eggshell was broken, Li Mengxi clearly saw that his brother had a look of intolerance.

Crack the eggs and pour everything in them into the bowl.

Sure enough, egg yolk is still egg yolk, and egg white is still egg white.

Xiao Bian looked at the things in the bowl. They were no different from eggs. What about the chickens? Why were there no chickens? He bit his finger and frowned slightly, thinking deeply.

"Xiao Bian, there are no chickens here."

"It's so strange, why can hens hatch chicks, but we can't? Why is this?"

After listening to Li Mengxi's words, Xiao Bian raised his head and looked towards the hen. The hen was leading the chicks to eat everywhere.

"Why can mother chickens hatch chicks, but why can't we?" Li Mengxi asked gently.

Xiao Bian stared at the mother hen for a long time, then suddenly turned his head, his eyes were bright, "Brother, is it because I have fur and the mother hen has hair, right?" Xiao Bian said this almost excitedly.

words.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, he quickly retracted his expression and turned into a solemn expression of surprise and curiosity, "Ah! Is it like this? Is it because the mother hen has fur?"

Li Mengxi didn't give any conclusions. He simply raised questions and gave guidance without any trace.

Xiao Bian observed the hen for a while and said, "Brother, the mother hen has hair. Look, she has hair on her body, but I don't." Xiao Bian said with absolute certainty.
