The Carer of Cubs Chapter 4

After cleaning up the room, Finn Xie had to start working immediately. There were only four childcare workers in the branch including him, so the manpower was not sufficient.

It's time for the pups to eat.

Finn Xie was originally thinking about what the cubs of other races would look like, but as soon as he walked into the cubs' feeding place... he saw a group of fluffy ones.

The only ones who were not fluffy were the Milo cub who came close to him as soon as he came in, and the other Marina Mermaid who was placed in a small wooden bucket filled with water.

Mermaid... Seeing this kind of fantasy creature that only existed in people's imagination for the first time, Finn Xie couldn't help but take another look.

With a human body and a fish tail, the upper body of this Marina Mermaid probably looks like a two-year-old human baby. Maybe there is a racial advantage, the appearance is very pleasant, but there is no expression on his face, he looks very silent, and he has a feeling of being too quiet.

This glance accidentally lasted a little too long. When he suddenly looked into a pair of blue eyes, Finn Xie realized what he was doing. He simply raised his eyebrows slightly at the cub.

"Does this cub usually stay in this wooden barrel? There is no pool or anything in our branch?" Finn Xie walked to the colleague he had met before and asked thoughtfully.

When it comes to mermaids, the scene that people most easily think of is an endless blue ocean, but the Marina Mermaid in front of Finn Xie can only stay in a small wooden barrel filled with water. No matter how you look at it, it actually makes Finn Xie, who was deeply impressed by the story of The Little Mermaid as a child, a little confused.

"Yes, there is." Mason Lin did not deny Finn Xie's previous question, but nodded, "There is one in the courtyard outside the house, but the pond has been dried up long ago, and the bottom of the pond is now covered with leaf dust."

After saying this, Mason Lin saw that the human young man next to him seemed to be lost in thought, and couldn't help asking with a strange expression: "You don't want to clean that pool for this Marina Mermaid, right? It's useless, that pool." If the circulation device is broken, even if you clean the pool and fill it with water, you won't be able to change the water later. "

Besides, their salary is only 1,800 credit points a month. If they can just do their job well every day, why bother doing more hard work for themselves?

Finn Xie didn't say yes or no, and responded vaguely.

There are a total of twelve cubs in the branch that need to be taken care of. Finn Xie learned this from Avery Xia. Three of the cubs still have unbroken eggs and are now staying in the insulation room.

There are only four childminders in the branch, plus the newly recruited Finn Xie. If you have to take care of the cubs in the branch, of course there will be priorities in many things. Some cubs have to wait until the end to get food. thing.

Avery Xia was busy making milk powder, while the other two colleagues seemed to deliberately ignore the Milo cub who was following Finn Xie. Looking at this situation, there was nothing Finn Xie didn't understand.

Avery Xia had no time to take care of the Milo cub for the time being, but the other two were unwilling to take care of it and deliberately wanted to take the matter away from themselves.

If it were before, the two of them would have pushed each other, and in the end one of them would be reluctant to prepare food for the Milo cub. But now, Finn Xie took the initiative to take over the job.

In the past, you always had to wait until the end to get something to eat. The Milo cub actually had no idea about this matter. It usually watched the nursery prepare food or feed the other cubs, and in the end it would be its turn.

For economic reasons, the food they provide to the cubs is relatively cheap general cub rations, mixed with cub-specific nutrients. The taste is not that great, but enough to keep you satisfied.

Following the actions of his colleagues, Finn Xie poured a large basin of cub rations, which was quite heavy to hold.

The Milo cub was waiting as usual. Its dangerous and terrifying appearance made it look particularly aggressive even if it didn't make any movements. Its scarlet vertical pupils looked ferocious and cold. But when this dangerous creature watched the young man bring the bowl and put it in front of it, it paused and instinctively let out a low hiss from its throat.

This food is for it. After confirming this, the Milo cub lowered its head and started eating.

This amount of food was only enough to make the Milo cub feel full, but this time he only ate less than half of the food. The Milo cub pushed the bowl towards the young man.

Any survival resources are precious, especially food - this is the consciousness engraved in the instinct of all Milo people.

As a six-month-old Milo cub, this Milo cub obviously doesn’t know how other races survive. Only its innate instinct tells it that they must rely on fighting to survive in adulthood. resources needed for survival.

But the human youth in front of it has no fighting ability, so what should it do?

Perhaps the wisdom of lower races cannot understand things that are too complicated, but precisely because of this, their thinking direction will become particularly simple---

As long as it gives half of the survival resources it gets to its youth, it will be fine as long as it fights harder when it grows up.

Finn Xie was stunned for a moment when he saw the Milo cub pushing the food to him. But seeing that he did not accept the food, the large cub lowered its head and hissed even lower than before.

"I don't have to..." It's impossible to say that he wasn't touched in the bottom of his heart. Finn Xie squatted down and pushed the bowl back, and then reached out to touch this large cub that looked particularly dangerous. Touching and coaxing, "Baby, be good."

After Finn Xie finished coaxing the Milo cub, he turned his attention to Avery Xia, who was filling the soaked milky white liquid into several small bottles, thinking that he should go over and help.

However, after taking only two steps, Finn Xie suddenly felt a plush hair on his trouser leg, which made Finn Xie temporarily unable to walk. It's not that the cub weighs much, it's just that if he moved, he would definitely kick the opponent.

Oval ears, a thick but not too long tail, and thick fur that even makes this cub look a little chubby... This cub actually looks a lot like Finn Xie. In his impression, he was originally from Earth. A creature called "Rabbit".

Although the name contains the word "rabbit", the rabbit cat has nothing to do with rabbits. It is a cat and a ferocious wild species.

When the young man called "baby", he had a vague feeling of being called, because the voice he heard was too soft, like a gentle coaxing, so the cub raised its head, and when the young man walked by He grabbed the opponent's trouser leg.

Finn Xie didn't know the reason, he just thought that this cub liked to pounce on moving objects, and he happened to be passing by.

"This is a cub of the Toby race. Feed it." Avery Xia turned around and saw this scene. She walked over and stuffed a small bottle into Finn Xie's hand.

Avery Xia was actually stunned for a second just now. In her memory, this Toby cub did not like to get close to others.

This is probably also related to the nature of the race. Among the many races in the interstellar world, the Toby people generally have excellent individual combat capabilities, which makes them more inclined to be solitary, even as cubs. No exception.

So the scene in front of her now seemed particularly strange.

Finn Xie said "Hello" and squatted down with the bottle, trying to keep a calm face so as not to appear in a hurry. He knows how to bottle feed, but how to do it...?

After thinking for a while, Finn Xie first pushed down the two front paws on his trouser legs, sat down with his legs crossed, and then tried to reach out and touch the down on the back of the Toby cub.

This fur is really fluffy and thick, and the tip of the fur is very light in color. At first glance, it has a cold texture like frost, but when Finn Xie touches it with his hand, the only feeling is that it is soft.

The stubby tail was raised and lowered. The Toby cub, which looked like a baby rabbit, narrowed its eyes under the young man's touch and made a low purr in its throat unconsciously.

It was at this time that Finn Xie shook the little bottle that was still a little hot in his hand. When he felt that the temperature was about the same, Finn Xie stuffed the pacifier into the cub's mouth and continued to stroke the Toby cub's back while feeding it.

The purring sound of the Toby cub made the other cubs around turn their attention to some extent. The young man was a strange existence that they had never seen before, but they watched the young man gently caress the Toby cub again and again. , these cubs gradually just stared at this picture.

Other caregivers don't do such unnecessary things when feeding them.

Even after drinking milk, the Toby cub refused to leave. It stretched out its tongue and licked the palm of the young man's hand. Then it lowered its body and sniffed the young man's scent. After recording the young man's breath, it lay down with a purr. On the young man's crossed legs, the thick and short tail behind him moved slightly from time to time.

The weight on his legs made Finn Xie laugh a little. When he heard the low purring sound, he couldn't help but put out a finger and touch the oval ears of the Toby cub.

Probably because the ears were relatively sensitive, the cub immediately moved its body as soon as its ears were touched. However, it did not avoid the young man's touch. It just narrowed its vertical pupils and stared at the young man's slender fingers touching its ears.

Theoretically speaking, the withdrawn nature of the Toby race would not like anyone to treat them like this, not even their parents. If someone insists on approaching them forcefully, the most likely outcome is that they will be attacked and put on a blacklist that refuses all contact from then on.

Similarly, the cubs of the Toby race also have tempers. It would definitely not be a happy thing for them if their separate territory was broken.

Finn Xie didn't know this. Listening to the purring, he reached out and touched the head of the Toby cub, then the back, and finally even the particularly fluffy-looking tail.

There was no resistance during the entire process. If a nurse from another cub care branch saw this scene, they would immediately suspect that they were hallucinating ---This is not a cub of the Toby race at all, it is fake. !
