Chapter 50
byIn a sense, the boy incarnated from the planet disrupted the lives of the experimental subjects to a certain extent. He seemed to be always keen on feeding the experimental subjects. He emerged from behind the bushes and among the branches and leaves of trees,A kind of astonishment that the experimental subjects still couldn't understand looked at them.
"You guys are amazing." 77 could even imagine his tone when he said this.
——
When the snow completely melted and the snow water flowed into the stream, the subjects gradually got used to and accepted the existence of the boy. One of the subjects asked the boy a question on his own initiative.
"We don't know your name yet." He looked down at the boy in front of him, "What should we call you?"
The boy thought for a while and said, "You can call me Xing Xing."
——
77 and 76 stopped by the lake, looking down at the reflection on the lake. The calm lake clearly showed their faces, and at the same time, their thick tails were fully displayed.
77 subconsciously stretched out a hand to touch the much rounded chin, then glanced at 76, and touched the flesh on 76's face with his own hand.
"It turns out that I really gained a lot of weight." 77 raised the tip of his tail, and gently tapped on the calm lake surface, making circles and circles.
77 stretched out his hand and touched his stomach. He didn't feel hungry yet, but looking at the position of the sun, it seemed that it was time for lunch again.
He recalled the amount of food he ate in the morning, looked down at the reflection on the lake that seemed to be stretched horizontally, and began to consider whether to eat less.
Just thinking about this, there was a big noise from the stone behind the lake. 76 and 77 looked up and found that the star appeared there again with a new prey.
"I checked the time, you should be hungry." He said, driving the fat looking prey forward, "I'll prepare some food for you."
76 and 77 looked at each other, 77 took a step forward, he looked up at the stars, noticed the expression on his face, and said in a hesitant tone, "I want to hunt with 76 by myself."
76 and 77 wanted to mention this matter to Xingxing before, but Xingxing always seemed to be keen on feeding them, so before bringing it up, both 76 and 77 cared about Xingxing's thoughts.
When in the laboratory, the authority of the "mother" is not allowed to be provoked, and everything they give must be accepted by the experimental subjects.
76 and 77 looked at his expression, and their heartbeat subconsciously accelerated a little.
Will he be angry?
Will they be "punished" for their disobedience, just like "mother", until they realize their mistakes?
But the reaction of the stars was somewhat beyond the expectations of 76 and 77.
"Do you want to hunt by yourself?" There was a hint of disappointment in the boy's eyes, but he was soon filled with more joy, "That's great, too."
He scratched his hair: "I forgot, you are all adults and have the ability to live independently."
He seemed to accept it easily, and was genuinely happy about it.
The two snakes looked at his reaction, their eyes showing a bit of bewilderment: "Aren't you angry?"
Xing Xing was a little puzzled when he heard the words: "Why are you angry?"
"Because we don't want you to continue hunting to provide us with food?" 77 hesitated and asked.
"Because we're not obedient enough?"
Xing Xing blinked his eyes: "I bring you prey in the hope that you won't be hungry, not that you must eat it."
"I like to bring you game, but I'd be glad if you could hunt it yourself."
He continued: "You don't need to do what I think, you can do everything you want."
"As long as I see you are living well on this planet, I will be very happy."
"Is that so?" Both 77 and 76 couldn't understand.
Xing Xing nodded, he thought for a while, and said, "You don't need to force yourself to do things you don't like."
"You don't need to restrain yourself either."
Xing Xing looked at 77: "When you saw 76, you were always very happy, and you would be so happy that you wanted to laugh, right?"
"You don't need to restrain yourself. You can express happiness, sadness, fear...you can express it straightforwardly."
——
"Don't need to restrain yourself?" After Xing Xing left, 77 subconsciously repeated what he said.
77 turned his head to look at 76. He lowered his head and was attracted by a fish swimming in the lake. It had a gorgeous tail fin behind it, which was probably bigger than his own body. There were four different colors on his body.It looks beautiful.
76 lowered his head, stared at the water surface for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand, and quickly passed over the lake, 77 felt a blur in front of his eyes, and after a few seconds, 76 straightened his body and spread his palms in front of 77.
"Does it look good?"
"Like it?" 76 asked.
"I like it." 77 looked at him earnestly, a feeling of joy naturally arose in his heart, he looked at 76's face carefully, and felt a small arc at the corner of his mouth.
He looked at 76, and suppressed the instinct to straighten the corners of his mouth that rose quickly.76 also noticed the smile on 77's face: "Are you happy?"
"I haven't seen you smile like this for a long time," he said.
As if infected by 77's smile, 76 also put on a faint smile. 77's head leaned over and touched 76's forehead lightly. He and 76 looked into each other's eyes and said softly: "Just seeing 76 makes me happy."
77 looked at 76, as if he had broken some shackles, his brows and eyes were raised, and the corners of his mouth were naturally raised. He moved closer to 76, and lightly touched the corners of his mouth.
"You don't need to control your expression, so you shouldn't need to restrain yourself when kissing, right?" The clever experimental subject quickly learned to infer other things from one instance.
——
After talking with Xing Xing, he basically didn't feed the experimental subjects very much. More often, he appeared after the experimental subjects finished hunting and continued his boastful remarks.
At the beginning, the experimental subjects were still a little uncomfortable, but as time passed, some experimental subjects soon began to show their prey in front of the stars in different ways, waiting for his praise.
For example, when the stars appear, use your hands to pull the body of the prey to reveal its beautiful feathers, or to reveal the huge body of the prey...
But every time, even if the vocabulary is still monotonous, the boy will seriously praise the experimental subject in front of him from beginning to end.
Then end with the same sentence: "You are really amazing."
——
During the period of receiving feeding from the stars, 76 and 77 don’t need to hunt, and have more free time. In these free time, they choose a place suitable for basking to lie down more often, kill time slowly.
Now after resuming their own hunting, the two snakes are busy again visible to the naked eye. The daily hunting is a considerable amount of exercise for the two snakes. After about half a month, the tails of the two snakesVisible to the naked eye, I have lost a little weight and my muscles have become firmer.
With the arrival of spring, the temperature gradually picked up, and 76 and 77 spent more time lying on the rocks and basking in the sun when they were free.
But in complete contrast to the two snakes who lie down every day and plan to take a nap, other animals on the planet are particularly active during this time.
Several birds had already perched on the tree not far away, chirping non-stop. From time to time, one flapped its wings and moved up and down in the air, and landed on the branch after a while.
Last fall, the flock seemed particularly playful, and after being chased away by 76 and 77 a few times, they became quieter.But in spring, even if they are driven away, they will flap their wings and fly back after a while.
Or transfer to another tree, this set of movements is completely non-stop.
76 and 77 couldn't understand their restlessness in spring. After realizing that they might not be able to take a nap recently, the two snakes simply basked in the sun and watched what the chirping birds were doing.
After watching it carefully for a while, 77 and 76 have to admit that it seems quite interesting.
Sometimes you can see a few birds around in front of another bird to show courteousness, some birds are holding worms, some birds are pulling out their feathers, some birds are singing beside, and some birds are flapping their wings and fluttering up and down.
Of course, more often than not, before the bird being courted responds, the birds next to it often flap their wings and waving their paws to form a ball.
The two human snakes, who had never seen this scene before, stared intently. After a snake hidden among the leaves suddenly sprang out and took away one of the birds, and the rest of the birds scattered, they looked away with still insatiable desire.
"What are they doing?" 77 inevitably had some curiosity about this.
Not only these birds, but other animals they saw were also very strange.
In the autumn of last year, the atmosphere in the prey group they saw looked gentle and calm, and they would be very united and united when encountering danger.
Of course, they will still unite to fight against the enemy when they encounter danger now, but in the scenes that 76 and 77 occasionally saw, there have been several fights among their clans.
In general, the two parties in the fight are of the same gender.
——
Under the half-understood observation of the experimental subjects, the animals on the planet followed their instincts and continued their courtship behavior when spring came.
After successful courtship, the faster animals are about to welcome their young in the new year.
77's gaze followed the bird holding the blade of grass to the branch, and he soon saw the almost completed bird's nest hidden among the branches and leaves.
After the nesting was over, the bird uttered a crisp and melodious song, which soon attracted another bird, and the two birds flew around the built nest several times.
After a burst of birdsong, the two birds landed on the branch together, head to head, grooming each other's feathers, poking me and poking you, looking very intimate.
77 stared at them for a while, the way he got along with 76 was somewhat similar to these two birds, he thought they were the same as himself and 76.I felt a little novel about this, and I inevitably paid more attention to these two birds in the later stage.
The two birds soon lived together, and the relationship between them seemed to develop somewhat unexpectedly.After a while, one of the birds began to stay in the nest and never left.
The other bird leaves early and returns late every day, feeding the other bird with worms in its mouth.
"77, what are you looking at?" When 77 looked at the tree again, 76 asked curiously.
"There are two birds living there." 77 pointed to the location of the two birds' nests, and then told 76 what he had seen during this time.
"The other bird hasn't left the nest for a long time." 77 guessed, "Is it injured and can't fly?"
76 doesn't know either.
"I want to go and see." 77 looked at the tree, the trunk was thick enough to bear his weight.
But 76 stopped him: "I'll go."
He lowered his head and wiped the dirt on 77's tail at some point: "You're about to shed your skin, stay below, I'll go have a look and tell you."
Hearing this, 77 nodded and obediently waited for 76 near the tree.
76 quickly climbed up the tree and watched the bird that remained in the nest from the branches and leaves inside.
His movements were very careful, and he was not noticed by the bird nestled in the nest. It lowered its head and pecked at the feathers on its body, but its body remained nestled on the nest, motionless.
76 waited on it for a while, and saw its wings spread slightly to the side, but it didn't look like it had any wounds.
Just when 76 was puzzled, another bird came back with food.
It put the food into the beak of the bird in the nest, and then the bird in the nest stood up, revealing the white round eggs under its body during its movements.
The bird that just flew back nestled on a few eggs, while the bird that had been hatching shook its wings and flew out.
After 76 shared the scene he saw, the two snakes fell into deep thought.
Buried under the body by two birds, what the hell is that white, round thing?
