During the month when the emperor penguin parents were away, the emperor penguin chicks stayed beside the nanny obediently, but they still pushed each other and fought with each other many times.
At this time, the deep affection of this group of emperor penguins was shown. When they saw two emperor penguin chicks starting to fight, the first reaction of the emperor penguin nanny they were looking for was not to stop them, but to stop them.
Stay aside quietly and watch the two of them fight.
Sometimes, there will also be comments.
Sure enough, he is still a child, he can't even fight, and he is not very good at making moves.
This emperor penguin nanny watched the fight between two emperor penguin chicks in front of him. It was now at the end. One of the emperor penguins was on top of the other, chirping loudly, as if for his own victory.
And feel proud.
The other emperor penguin chicks, like the nanny, surrounded the two emperor penguins and imitated her actions just now. They watched the two chicks fighting. Many of them tilted their heads and chirped quietly, not understanding.
What's so cool about this.
During this month, some of the things that happened here at the gathering place were very similar to some of the things that happened when the parents of the cubs were still young.
For example, they met Adélie penguins. If a general group of emperor penguins encounters a situation where the emperor penguin chicks are being bullied, they will definitely not take care of the chicks. They are just being bullied and their lives are not endangered.
As long as the commotion is not ugly, the emperor penguin nanny or parents will not care about such things.
However, this group of emperor penguins is different. Under the long-term influence of Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, they still care a little about their companions. In addition, they have formed a group to bully these "hooligans" before. Now, see them again.
The few adult emperor penguins that these "rogues" left behind at the gathering place all walked over there in unison.
"quack--"
One of the emperor penguins called twice, and several other emperor penguins responded one after another. This made the Adélie penguins a little uneasy. They stretched their little wings and looked left and right.
After thinking for a second.
He decisively ran away from this place.
Are you kidding me? They just bully these cubs. Even if the other person is taller and stronger than themselves, they are still cubs. They are definitely not as naughty and timid as them, so they can still bully them smoothly.
But adult emperor penguins are different.
They only like the kind of crushing fights, and don't like the two situations of balancing power and being crushed.
"Gah?" Ran away?
Several emperor penguin nannies looked at the fleeing figures of the Adélie penguins, looked at each other, and sighed together, forget it, let's continue taking care of the cubs.
In addition to these "rascals", there are also various other seabirds, such as petrels and skuas, which can often bully emperor penguin chicks, and they always pick the weakest one.
Fortunately, although this group of emperor penguin chicks is not so united, the adult emperor penguin group is still relatively united. They command a few larger emperor penguin chicks to block the periphery and keep a few smaller ones.
Zaizai protects himself.
Don't let them be bullied.
Several emperor penguin chicks also performed this task perfectly, but looking at their confused eyes, you can tell that they have no idea why they do this.
Suisui was one of the larger emperor penguins. He stood outside, looking at the white snow. His eyes became more and more hollow, he became more and more melancholy, and his thoughts began to drift away.
Why haven't dad and mom come back yet? He has grown up a lot. He can run and walk on his own without being held back. He can join them in activities.
Why didn't they take themselves with them on this trip?
The little guy couldn't figure this out. He looked at the sky in the distance, the glaciers in the distance, and the few flying birds that occasionally passed by. He sighed quietly like a little adult.
This time, neither his parents stayed with him, and he felt missing every year. He missed them so much.
The important thing is that when I am with my parents, my stomach is always full, and I always eat a lot of food. Now, when I have to share it with so many emperor penguins, the little guy is obviously not very willing.
.
I really miss them.
Time passed quietly in the yearning of yearning, and a month later, when the emperor penguin parents lined up, bathed in the pale golden sunshine, and walked back slowly, the emperor penguin chicks had their heads in full.
Chika was stunned for a few seconds.
After they came to their senses, they all cheered and immediately forgot all about what they had been taught before. No matter what they were doing at the moment, they all ran forward. They also followed the example of their parents and stood in a row.
He tilted his head and watched the parents coming to him with bright eyes.
No matter if it was his parents or not, he just ran forward, stopped an emperor penguin at random, started chirping, and hugged its belly.
Hungry, hungry, hungry!
The emperor penguin was suddenly hugged by its cub: "..."
It's so enthusiastic that I can't bear it.
Even though the emperor penguin chicks are very cute, every emperor penguin father and mother identify their own chicks very carefully. After all, if these food are given to these unknown chicks, their biological children will be hungry.
My stomach is full.
However, there is no guarantee that the cub will cheat other emperor penguin parents to get food.
"Chirp."
Sui Sui shuttled through these chaotic scenes. He raised his head from time to time and looked at everything around him. Listening to the voices of the emperor penguin parents, they all looked the same. He really couldn't tell who was who.
Already.
Where are my old father and mother?
I can't find them.
Soon, several pairs of emperor penguin parents found their chicks, and then began to express their longing for them. For them, even if no parents taught them this matter, they could still roughly feel it. It is estimated that this time
After meeting Zaizai, the chance of meeting him next time is very slim.
I remembered that when this happened to me, my parents left them after feeding them a very rich meal and kissing each other.
Until now, I haven't run into each other again, maybe it's not fate.
They would not think about why the emperor penguin parents had to leave their chicks at this time. They would just repeat what happened in their childhood memories.
Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi stood at the end of the emperor penguin team without moving much. When all the emperor penguin parents found their children, the crowd in front of them was no longer so crowded.
Xu Qiaoqiao patted Jun Qi on the shoulder, pointed to the road ahead, and motioned for us to walk there together. She had not seen Suisui for so long, and she was afraid that this little guy would cry in grievance.
"Quack." Listen to you.
Jun Qi said decisively that he usually didn't prepare much for these small things, so he just listened to Qiao Qiao.
So, the two of them staggered forward, with Xu Qiaoqiao still calling Suisui's name, hoping that the little guy who heard her voice would run out on his own initiative.
As a result, nothing changed along the way.
When Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi walked to the place where they usually stayed, she turned to look at the pile of emperor penguins and scratched her head in confusion. No, could it be that the little cub didn't hear her voice?
"Quack?" Junjun, have you seen Suisui?
"..." Jun Qi looked at these emperor penguin chicks who all looked the same, and he couldn't tell who was who. He shook his head slightly at Xu Qiaoqiao, and unless he made a sound, he really wouldn't be able to recognize them.
The same goes for Xu Qiaoqiao. She couldn't recognize these little cubs. She just felt that each one looked like her own age. They were really cute and chirped.
"Gah——" Then let's just wait here, or take a closer look, there will definitely be some lonely cubs.
Xu Qiaoqiao listened to Jun Qi's suggestion and nodded in agreement. Yes, she felt that no matter how stupid she and Jun Jun's little boy were, they could still have some telepathy.
At this time, Zaizai, whom Xu Qiaoqiao thought was telepathic with them, mistakenly recognized his parents.
"Tweet." Dad and Mom.
Sui Sui clung to the belly of an adult emperor penguin, raised his head, and looked at each other. His dark eyes were full of smiles, and he touched the other's belly very affectionately.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp." Mom and dad, I'm hungry.
The two emperor penguins looked at me and I looked at you, their heads were a bit hard to turn around.
——Do you know this cub?
——How is it possible? I only know our Xiaoxi.
——But how come this cub recognizes that we are his father and mother?
——I don’t know, I’ve never seen this cub or heard her voice.
——Really don’t know him?
——Really, very true.
After the two emperor penguins finished their brief exchange, they both looked down and met Suisui's shining eyes, and then...then they didn't know what to say.
Both of them could swear that they only have one child, Xiaoxi, and even though the Emperor Penguin is very carefree, at least when they have a partner with them, they are still very loyal and would not do anything cheating.
If this were the case in a normal colony of emperor penguins, they would not start beating the children, but just walk away without paying any attention to them.
However, under the influence of Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi, these Emperor Penguins have unknowingly changed many of their ideas. Now when encountering such a situation, they should explain it clearly and politely, unless it is true that they cannot even explain it.
Yes, the kind that needs a fight.
"Tweet?"
Seeing that the two emperor penguins were still motionless, Suisui tilted his head in confusion and looked at the emperor penguin on the left and the emperor penguin on the right. They all looked the same.
He also heard their voices just now, which sounded very much like those of his father and mother.
"Chirp chirp." Suisui called out again, feeling a little uneasy. What's wrong? At this time, grandma should rub her face, then hold herself in her arms, saying "baby, I miss you so much" and so on.
If so, why doesn't she do it now?
Could it be that Suisui did something wrong?
However, nothing has been done every year.
The two adult emperor penguins looked at the cub's aggrieved look, and their eyes quickly filled with water, as if they were about to cry, and alarm bells rang in their hearts.
Don't cry!
Otherwise, it would be bad if you were thought to be bullying the cubs!
Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to find a partner after they separate. Don't cry. Don't cry. Look at the two of us, we haven't found our cubs yet, and we haven't cried yet?
——What should I do, my dear, this cub is going to cry, but we are really not his parents.
——Hmm...let me think about it.
——Hurry up, he's going to cry.
——... Otherwise, find the boss and Sister Qiaoqiao. They are smart and will definitely solve it.
——But, we haven’t found Xiao Xi yet.
——It's okay, that kid is smart, maybe he got the wrong parent like this cub.
--Right.
Anyway, as long as this little cub knows that he is not his father (grandma), it will be fine. Then he will tell Happy. Emperor penguin parents who have not found their cubs will go to the boss to claim it. It won’t be fast.
?
The two emperor penguins suddenly thought of the same thing.
As a result, the two emperor penguins gently caressed the calf and led him towards the location of Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi. Everyone knew where Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were, so usually they would not
Go there.
This is also so that when an accident occurs, Boss Jun Qi and Sister Qiao Qiao can be quickly found to solve it.
On the way, the two of them were also observing the emperor penguin chicks they met along the way, listening to their voices to see if they were their own chicks, Xiaoxi, so that they could use less effort.
The journey was not long, and the two of them soon brought the cub to Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi.
"Gah—gah—" Boss, we picked up a cub. He always thought that we were his parents, but this is not the case at all.
Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were still waiting for the cub to come over. Suddenly, the cry of emperor penguins came over. Xu Qiaoqiao looked over and saw two emperor penguins walking over with a cub.
Listening to their words, Xu Qiaoqiao blinked curiously, it was strange that such a thing could happen.
Then she looked at the little cub, and the moment their eyes met, they both paused.
"Gah?"
"Chirp chirp..."
Sui Sui looked at the two emperor penguins stuck together, blinked his eyes, and immediately came to his senses. Then he heard Xu Qiaoqiao's cry, and jumped off the emperor penguin, clicking toward him.
He ran over there and hugged Xu Qiaoqiao.
"Tweet." Grandma.
Then he turned his head to the other side and said, "Chirp, chirp." Abba.
Two emperor penguins who have not yet come close: "..."
Horrified...
Long live!
Why does this cub misidentify its father and mother again?
