Chapter 79 - White Hedgehog & Owl
It is now April, and the breath of spring has just been felt that animals do not have such things as calendars, and they rely on animal instincts.
The sixth sense that humans often say is a premonition of what is about to happen and a feeling of uneasiness about what is about to happen, which are actually animal instincts.
Therefore, the animals had a premonition about the arrival of spring.
Spring is such a beautiful word. It is the first season of the four seasons and represents full of vitality.
At this time, the daytime starts to grow longer, and more direct sunlight is exposed to, so the temperature begins to rise.
In spring, plants begin to sprout and grow, and many flowers bloom and the fragrance lingers.
Hibernating animals wake up, and many animals that use eggs to winter hatch, and birds begin to migrate and leave the overwintering ground to move towards breeding ground.
Many animals are in heat during this time, so spring is also called the season of "resurrection of all things".
For many people, spring also represents hope. They are looking forward to the arrival of spring and especially want to kiss it.
But Xu Qiaoqiao is just the opposite. She has never hated a season so much.
It won’t take long for a hedgehog to be born to adulthood. It only takes about fifty days. After all, it only takes more than a month, but it hasn’t arrived in two months.
When you enter adulthood, a very important question also follows - the estrus period.
Xu Qiaoqiao chewed the sour fruit in front of her expressionlessly. This was something she had finally found. It was obviously very shabby, and the fruit was not ripe yet.
The temperature in March was still a bit cold, so Xu Qiaoqiao didn't care much about this issue, but she still couldn't escape it.
Now that April is coming, the weather is gradually warming up, and a few days ago, there was a spring rain, the air began to become wet, and animal hormones also began to get restless.
Xu Qiaoqiao suppressed the inexplicable impulse in her heart. In the past few days, she had always felt that her mood became particularly impetuous and kept making chirping.
Moreover, especially when facing Jun Qi, I feel even more irritable.
If you don’t meet Junjun this spring, you may become a mother in this season.
Of course, the premise is that she can find a male white hedgehog she likes.
Xu Qiaoqiao took a long breath. She always felt like a mirror in her current abnormal situation. After all, she would never forget the feeling when she felt this situation last time.
This is a damn estrus period!
In such a short period of time, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't believe that he had become an adult.
She looked at her thin arms and short legs. Although she was still weak, she was really an adult.
The thorns on the back are already hard, and if they fight, they will definitely be a rare and good weapon.
Xu Qiaoqiao had a deep memory of the way she looked when she first came. At that time, she remembered that she had only been out for a few days. She probably had only been born for a few days, and she didn't know if she had made any mistakes.
At that time, she was trembling even when she walked. Her limbs that had never been grounded before were obviously very weak. After all, her body's hair had not yet faded, and the tiny fluff was like the thorn that had not yet grown.
Now, Xu Qiaoqiao looked back at her thorns, and a sense of pride involuntarily rose in her heart, which diluted her irritability a little.
Look, now, I can stand alone.
Although I have been fed by Jun Qi for these days.
The pregnancy period of the female hedgehog is about 60 days. Including the day when Xu Qiaoqiao was born, the hedgehog mother probably got pregnant in July, and it is impossible for her to have only one little hedgehog in one child.
Does this mean that I have other brothers and sisters?
Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly thought of this. After all, it is rare to have only one baby in the animal world, but as for why he only thinks about it now, after all, it has been ignored before.
It seems that the situation in this life is completely different from the previous life.
Xu Qiaoqiao slowly chewed the fruit in her mouth. Because she was sitting on the ground, her legs were stretched straight and arranged casually in a horoscope. Her round belly was pressed into a bulging ball.
She squinted her eyes slightly and looked thoughtful, feeling that there were many tricks in this life.
Junqi is now looking for food, but he doesn't know when he will come back. The sun in the distance emits an orange-yellow light, dyeing the white clouds nearby with the same color.
Xu Qiaoqiao raised her head and faced the sunset. The thoughts in her head kept changing. There was no way, so that she could not focus on her own hormone restlessness, otherwise she would really suffer this spring.
Including the days of pregnancy and the state she was in when she came, the hedgehog mother mates her lover in July.
Um?
July?
Isn’t this the estrus period already over?
Does she remember that the estrus period of hedgehogs is usually in April and May?
Xu Qiaoqiao suddenly realized that he might have discovered something amazing. Animal mating is almost always carried out in spring. This is instinct and will not change unless it is a male rabbit who is in estrus all year round.
So, her hedgehog mom, mates with a male hedgehog in July.
Xu Qiaoqiao:!!!
It's amazing!
Because of discovering something surprising, Xu Qiaoqiao's attention was diverted a lot. When she was about to think about it again, she felt a familiar atmosphere.
However, it is also possible that he remembered it wrongly, and Xu Qiaoqiao was suspicious of himself. After all, mating in the animal world conforms to the laws of nature.
"Gugu."
Jun Qi's cry sounded under the quiet cliff, followed by the sound of wings vibrating wind. He felt that it was a pair of very strong and powerful wings.
Junjun!
Xu Qiaoqiao immediately threw down the sour fruit that had been eaten halfway, ran to the edge of the nest, tried to stand on both feet and stretched her head down, but just as half of her head was poked out, she felt a gust of wind blowing over her head.
What followed was the unique aura that belonged to Jun Qi.
Xu Qiaoqiao found that the restless feeling that was being suppressed by herself began to rise again.
"Gugugugu..."
A few clicks.
Several dead sparrows fell next to Xu Qiaoqiao. Jun Qi squeaked his wings neatly and slowly descended. His claws fell into the nest, and then began to tear up the sparrow meat.
These days, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but Jun Qi caught all sparrow meat.
Xu Qiaoqiao ran to Junqi again and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. Now the thorns on her back are getting harder, so be careful not to hurt Junjun.
Involuntarily, Xu Qiaoqiao looked up at Jun Qi. The other party was still a furry ball. Isn’t this the characteristic of an owl, right?
The hair on her body is so fluffy, it seems like she is rubbing a few strokes. In her previous life, she was rubbing her hair. In this life, she turned into a hedgehog and would definitely not be rubbing her.
Gradually, Xu Qiaoqiao began to think about being tranced.
When Jun Qi fed all the meat into his mouth, Xu Qiaoqiao realized that he had been staring at Jun Jun for a long time.
Chewing food mechanically in his mouth, Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but put his thoughts on Jun Qi, and he began to envy the other party. Jun Jun is obviously still in sub-adult now, and this estrus period has nothing to do with him.
Sure enough, the adult world is so bitter.
Xu Qiaoqiao stuttered expressionlessly and ate the food that Jun Qi fed, thinking that it was not only earthworm meat, but other foods, except for vegetarian food such as fruits, Jun Qi almost had to feed them a few times.
After Xu Qiaoqiao was full, he started to enjoy his own food.
The estrus period did affect Xu Qiaoqiao in many aspects, among which the food intake was the most obvious.
