Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Nine - Emperor Penguin
Entering autumn, the speed and volume of glacier melt are not as obvious as in summer, and light snow blows from time to time. By the end of March, the sky has changed again.
It was just an ordinary day. After playing around all day, the emperor penguins were ready to take a rest. When they opened their eyes, huh? Why was the sky dark?
Is it covered?
The emperor penguins rubbed their eyes, patted their little heads, and opened their eyes again to look. It was still the same, the sky was pitch black, and their vision was a little blurry.
Emperor Penguins:…
Ahhhh!
Boss, the sky is covered by a piece of black cloth. It's so scary. We can't see clearly what's in front of us.
Except for the time when they were just born, they were in the polar night. However, at that time, everyone was just born, so their memory may not be very good, so I think this is the first time they see the polar night.
This group of emperor penguins are screaming here, running around with their heads held high. Every time they step forward, they lift their flippers high and then land on the ground. Their two little wings are also flapping wildly on both sides.
, as if it were about to fly.
The scene suddenly became a little funny. Everyone was severely face-blind. Although this may be because they all looked the same. Among the emperor penguins, except for Oka who had a rope tied to his body, the rest were indistinguishable at all.
Who is who.
Xu Qiaoqiao was nestled in Jun Qi's arms. She slightly exposed her head and yawned. To be honest, she hadn't been woken up by such a noisy sound in a long time.
What's going on here?
Xu Qiaoqiao yawned again, tears immediately appeared in the corners of her eyes, and her vision was a little blurry. She blinked, turned her head and rubbed against Jun Qi's chest, and her vision became clear again.
The light all around was very dim. She looked at the sky. It was pitch black, with only a few stars twinkling. Ah, it was dark.
Xu Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes. Her head was not yet fully awake. She turned her eyes back and seemed to realize something. She blinked her eyes again, rubbed them by the way, and looked up at the sky again.
Yeah! It’s really dark.
Calculating the time, I have been staying here in this new gathering place for almost two or three months. The polar day and night times in the Antarctic and the North Pole are opposite, and it is indeed the time for the polar night to arrive.
Xu Qiaoqiao touched Jun Qi's beak, carefully moved it to his ear, and called softly, meaning: Junjun, are you awake?
At this time, Jun Qi's head was still buried in his chest, his eyes were closed, and it was impossible to tell whether he was awake or not with his eyes alone.
Hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's voice and the squawking emperor penguins next to him, Jun Qi didn't continue to sleep. He hadn't opened his eyes yet, but just turned his head slightly to the side and nuzzled Xu Qiaoqiao's beak.
"Quack." They are so noisy.
I feel so too.
Xu Qiaoqiao echoed Jun Qi's words. These guys are now a little tired from running and have begun to rest on the spot. However, the screams are still very exciting. But looking at it this way, at least a few emperor penguins are calm. Judging from the scene
It's really confusing.
Moreover, the boss still doesn't want to take care of it because he hasn't woken up yet.
Very rare situation.
Xu Qiaoqiao raised her arms, touched Jun Qi's head, and hugged her.
"Quack, quack, quack." Junjun, if you are sleepy, continue sleeping. I can take care of these emperor penguins.
Hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's voice, Jun Qi did not open his eyes. He just nuzzled Xu Qiaoqiao's arms affectionately for a few times, said "good" softly, and then continued to sleep.
His sleep quality has not been very good these days. I don't know why. Now that he was woken up, he is actually a little irritable. These emperor penguins really deserve a beating.
The sky was still pitch black, with no light at all. This was very different for the Emperor Penguins, who had lived in a bright environment for as long as they could remember.
Most of the time has passed. Beside them, the emperor penguins are still howling and running around. They don’t know what they are doing. There are no signs. It is getting dark. They have not seen the change of polar night and day.
, no one told them these things.
but……
They are really energetic.
Suddenly, Xu Qiaoqiao saw that among these emperor penguins, one of them looked particularly different. Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Jun Qi, touched his eyes, and found that he was really asleep, so he looked towards the emperor penguin.
The penguin called softly and asked him to come over.
"quack."
Happy heard a familiar cry, shook his head, suddenly met the other person's gaze, blinked, suddenly laughed, and then ran over there.
"Quack, quack." Sister Qiaoqiao.
When Happy saw Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, he immediately wanted to shout out in excitement, but when he noticed that the boss was still sleeping, he hurriedly stopped the car, tilted his head, and seemed to find it very interesting when he saw their posture.
appearance.
Why is it Sister Qiaoqiao who is holding the boss?
The figure and size look very different. Shouldn't it be the boss holding Sister Qiaoqiao?
These thoughts quickly flashed through Happy's mind, but in the end, he did not ask the question.
Xu Qiaoqiao waved her arm towards him, motioning for him to come closer because she had something to say to him.
Happy didn't think much about it. When he saw Xu Qiaoqiao making this move, he took a few steps forward. He thought that what Sister Qiaoqiao wanted to tell him must be related to the suddenly dark sky.
Because he felt that Sister Qiao Qiao knew a lot of things. Although he and his fellow Emperor Penguins couldn't understand those things, it didn't stop them from thinking that Qiao Qiao was a very knowledgeable Emperor Penguin.
"Quack..." Happy, tell these emperor penguins to stop screaming. It's a normal phenomenon for the sky to get dark. It was always bright before, but now, it's a change. It's dark.
This state is called polar night...
Listening to what Sister Qiaoqiao said, Happy nodded as if he understood. He thought for a while, and finally expressed his understanding to Xu Qiaoqiao: Sister Qiaoqiao, it was dark that day, so the sun was resting?
Just like every time they go ashore to rest and sleep after fishing, when they close their eyes, everything in front of them is dark. Is it possible that the sky will be like this too?
Xu Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes, and there was a hint of smile in her eyes. She was a little bit touched by Happy's cute understanding, and she nodded hurriedly: Yes, yes, the sun has been hanging in the sky, it's time to work.
It's been so long, now he needs to rest.
It's a very normal setting, so don't be afraid. Tell those screaming emperor penguins not to be afraid either, because it's really too noisy.
