Walking into the house, Lu Zhengkang noticed the changes immediately.
There is an extra small bed.
There was a thick red velvet blanket piled on the bed, wrapped in a smooth and oily insect egg.
"Is this? Your and Paya's child?"
Nati nodded reservedly, "Yes, my main task now is to look at this egg. Paya asked me to watch it carefully and not let me sleep. I was so sleepy just now that I couldn't help but fall asleep on the ground.
"He couldn't suppress his happy emotions, and his tone was very gentle and happy, "Oh, you don't know, the ground is very cold. If you hadn't come and Paya woke me up, I don't know how long I would have slept.
Woolen cloth!"
As Natty said this, he was also observing Lu Zhengkang's mood. Seeing him nodding his head, he felt even happier. However, he also stopped in time to continue to talk about the family's shortcomings and began to care about Lu Zhengkang's experience.
They sat on the edge of the bed, just like usual, talking under the dim light.
The weaver larva summoned by the talisman curled up beside the bed and began to take a nap.
Lu Zhengkang was not in a hurry to take out the mask, and patiently described his journey while waiting for Paya.
Lu Zhengkang, whose oral expression skills are not outstanding, tells his exciting adventures in a dry manner, because he has no unnecessary vanity in his heart. In his abridged version of the story, he plays an ordinary wanderer,
I had a great time chatting with other kind-hearted people. Everyone was very friendly and there was basically no struggle. Of course, in fact, the unfriendly ones were dealt with by Mr. Lu, and every step he took was aimed at fighting.
But you definitely can’t talk about this with your family.
"Yes, it does rain all the time in the City of Tears. Paya should know... The Queen's Garden is very beautiful. The old Queen is amazing and kind. She gave each of us a gift... The edge of the Kingdom is beautiful. It's snowing.
Flying Feathers... It's very comfortable to ride on the Antler Bug... The Mantis Village is very hospitable, and the leader is very capable..."
Paya entered the room, sat on the small bed, gently stroked the smooth insect eggs with one hand, looked up at the two males reunited after a long separation, and listened to Lu Zhengkang's long words and Natty's exclamation.
Lu Zhengkang ended the story as quickly as possible, "...the mask maker is very good. He made the old queen's gift into something good. Let me show it to you."
He took out three masks from his pocket, gave the three-hole mask to Paya, the four-hole mask to Nati, and kept the multi-hole mask on hand.
"This is what I said, the method of resisting infection!" Lu Zhengkang said in a serious tone, "I'm not sure what will happen if I wear it. I will wear it first, and you will see the situation. If I am safe and sound, you can wear it again.
mask!"
Natty had been very relaxed, but after hearing these words, he became a little excited. He was vaguely aware of the crisis information revealed in Lu Zhengkang's words, and was even more frightened. He even jumped up, "Didn't we agree that it was a gift?
?Why is it still dangerous? No! Don’t take risks with such a dangerous thing, or else we won’t use it!”
Paya quickly stopped him, "Nati! Be quiet!"
Natty felt as if he had been splashed with cold water, and he calmed down. He pursed his lips and paced around the bed. After four or five circles, he stopped and said to Lu Zhengkang very seriously: "In this case, I will first
Put it on and try it... No, listen to me, you are still young, you haven't found a female insect yet, you don't have children yet, I have all these, little guy, logically speaking, I am already a person who can face death at any time
Old Chong, we can’t let a kid like you gamble with your life!”
Lu Zhengkang only retorted solemnly, "Protecting you is my path to glory."
Natty's hard-working shell was shattered by one sentence, and he fell into an extremely deep feeling and depression. However, he was optimistic by nature, and he cheered up again after a while. This time, he didn't have the courage to continue persuading, so he had to
Set your sights on Paya.
Paya was a little distracted. She kept stroking the insect eggs with her hands while she was talking.
No one spoke for a while, and the peaceful and harmonious little room fell into a panicky silence.
"Little guy, you have always been a very creative person. We all know this. We can't stop you and become an obstacle to your progress. We also believe in you. I can only wish you safe and sound." After she said this
, exhaled a long breath, as if relieved.
Natty pointed at Paya and shouted: "You will always choose to support him! You don't know that if he has an accident, I..."
He couldn't speak any more, like a bullet jamming before exiting the chamber.
Lu Zhengkang stepped forward and patted Nati's back, "I know, I know everything..."
Natty turned to face Lu Zhengkang, raised his head slightly, and their eyes intertwined. Lu Zhengkang saw a certain twinkling light in his eyes. Natty murmured, "Oh, little guy, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance,
I also want to take on this responsibility for you!"
"No need, this is another battle on my road. It is foreseeable that I will be fine."
Lu Zhengkang hugged Nati again, nodded to Paya, then sat on the bed and gently put the mask on his face.
Snow-white silk threads poured out like a tide, flying and swaying, covering the deer Zhengkang's body. The sleeping weaver larvae were awakened. They jumped up and merged into the sky full of silk threads. They looked like water dripping into the pond, but in fact
It was the skilled textile masters who ran into the material. They were busy in the silk thread, and the silk thread became neat and orderly visible to the naked eye, wrapping Lu Zhengkang layer by layer.
Lu Zhengkang's vision fell into darkness, and his heart was unusually calm.
From an ordinary bug to a container, this is a huge leap in the level of life.
The process will never be smooth sailing, and it will definitely be full of risks. Anything can happen. What Lu Zhengkang has to do is to work hard to survive.
He felt himself being tightly bound, and then the cocoon surrounding him was lifted up and hung somewhere high.
But these are no longer worthy of Lu Zhengkang's consideration.
Pure white mist-like liquid flowed out from the eye holes of the mask, filling the cramped space inside the cocoon.
Lu Zhengkang felt like he was being melted, little by little, including his carapace, eyeballs, internal organs, and brain.
He turned into a liquid like mist.
Lu Zhengkang's consciousness began to blur as he lost his ability to think.
Faintly, in the deep darkness where vision is lost.
A little golden light shines in all directions.
The dream world was like a train, coming quickly and slamming into him, knocking him out of his body.
