Chapter 203 Warm Reunion
The priest came to Crane Feather's side, squatted down, and carefully looked at Crane One and Crane Two.
Unlike the black snake cubs, the flamingo cubs transform into human form using a potion, but instead of a potion, they ingest the potion directly. This potion is the key to their transformation.
She turned to He Yu and Chu Xinyao and said, "Don't worry, He Yu, you and I will go prepare the medicine. You can put them on the bed first!"
Crane Feather nodded and quickly left with the priest.
Chu Xinyao gently held He Yi and He Er in her arms, and could clearly feel the heat emanating from their bodies. The heat even reached her heart, filling her with worry.
She gently comforted them, "Don't be afraid, Mommy is here." Her voice was soft yet firm, as if it could dispel the fear and anxiety in the two cubs' hearts.
After placing the two cubs on the bed, Tsuruha rushed over with the medicine.
"Xin'er, I'll brew the medicine. You watch over them for now." After saying that, she walked towards the kitchen without waiting for Chu Xinyao's reply.
Chu Xinyao was about to say something when He Yu stopped and turned to her, saying:
"Also, keep an eye on the other cubs. They're about the same age and they're probably all about to transform into human form."
"Okay!" She nodded slightly and looked at the other flamingo chicks. Fortunately, none of the chicks had a fever.
He Yu acted quickly, mainly because they always had hot water available in the room. Soon, he brought over two bowls of medicine and carefully placed them on the wooden table beside the bed.
The medicine had a strong herbal aroma, and its brownish color made it look very bitter.
"I'll give them the medicine; that should help."
Chu Xinyao looked at the medicine he brought over, then at the long beaks of He Yi and He Er Er. Should she use a bowl? How should she feed them?
Just as Chu Xinyao was wondering, He Yu took a special spoon from the bowl, scooped up a full bowl of medicine, and then without hesitation stuck it into He Yi's long beak.
He Yi and He Er Er seemed to know that drinking the medicine would allow them to transform into human form and talk to their mother normally, just like their older brother and sister, and be very obedient and sensible.
Despite the bitter taste of the medicine, they obediently drank it.
The two little ones fell asleep quickly after taking the medicine. He Yu gently touched them and felt that although their temperatures hadn't dropped, they hadn't increased either. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed.
"Yu'er, you take the cubs to rest first! I'll take care of them. There are also other flamingo cubs. They should all be able to transform into human form in the next few days, so they'll stay here too. I'll keep an eye on them."
Chu Xinyao nodded slightly and replied softly, "Okay, I'll take them to sleep first, and I'll come see you all after they fall asleep!" After saying goodbye to the seven flamingo chicks, Chu Xinyao took the other chicks to the next room.
Crane Feather's treehouse isn't very large, but it's quite tall. They transformed it into a split-level treehouse three years ago, and it's decorated very warmly.
Upon entering the next room, one finds a rustic wooden staircase. The handrails of the wooden staircase are crafted from crane feathers, resulting in a remarkably smooth surface with natural wood grain.
Ascending the stairs, they arrived at the second floor, where two connected bedrooms were just the right size for Chu Xinyao and the cubs to sleep. The two bedrooms had never been used, but thanks to Chu Xinyao and He Yu's regular cleaning, they were always spotless.
The bedroom wasn't large, but it was decorated very warmly. When the renovation was being carried out, Chu Xinyao said that it was a children's room for the flamingo chicks, and now it was coming in handy.
When designing the children's room, Chu Xinyao took the children's preferences into full consideration and placed some small items unique to the Red Crane Clan. Crane Feather had carefully crafted a wind chime, composed of more than a dozen colorful feathers, each of which could emit a unique luster in the sunlight. The wind chime was cleverly tied in front of the window, and whenever a breeze blew by, it would make a crisp sound.
There is also a small wooden crane sculpture on the windowsill, and every detail of the sculpture is carved to life.
Seeing these things, and glancing at the many cubs inside the house, Chu Xinyao felt an even heavier sense of guilt. She hadn't shown enough care for the children; they were already over three years old, yet they had never received any gifts from her.
Suppressing her guilt, Chu Xinyao arranged for the children to go to bed.
Two large beds were just big enough to accommodate all the cubs. The ichthyosaur cubs were placed on the wooden table in the center, while the white tiger cubs were nestled in a recliner covered with a thick animal skin blanket, both fast asleep.
Ten boys slept in the left bedroom, while six girls slept in the right bedroom with Chu Xinyao. After Chu Xinyao told them a fairy tale about Sleeping Beauty, they gradually drifted off to sleep under her comforting presence.
Chu Xinyao got out of bed and covered them with animal skin blankets, knowing they were exhausted from their journey, and her heart ached with heartache. She gently stroked each child's head and placed soft kisses on their foreheads.
Just as she was about to add a thin blanket for the white tiger cubs, she encountered a problem. The four cubs were curled up tightly together, like little furry balls. But they were curled up so tightly that their little bottoms were touching their faces, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Finally, she could only try to gently tuck the blankets under the cubs, hoping to keep them from getting too cold!
Just then, a white tiger cub suddenly moved, its little nose wrinkled slightly, and its limbs twitched unconsciously, as if it had been startled by a nightmare.
Chu Xinyao quickly stopped what she was doing, held her breath, and gently stroked the cub, trying to soothe it. Fortunately, the cub soon calmed down and continued to immerse itself in the sweet dream of its mother.
Chu Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the thin blanket again, first gently draped one corner of the blanket over the cubs, and then slowly wrapped it around them, starting from the recliner.
This should be much warmer, but Chu Xinyao looked at the four white tiger cubs' furry bodies, which were huddled together, so they probably wouldn't be cold.
After Chu Xinyao left, He Yu first coaxed the other eight red crane cubs to bed, and then he stayed by the bedside alone, his eyes never leaving He Yi and He Er Er.
"He Wuwu, move over a bit, don't crowd around your sister Er'er, chirp chirp." He Sisi whispered to He Wuwu.
"Ah, oh, then Fourth Sister, you should sleep a little longer, I'm going to fall down, chirp."
He Liuliu shrank back a little and said to He Wuwu, "Sister Wuwu, let me have some here, chirp chirp."
"Hmm, Liu Liu, do you think Mommy is coming back? *kiss*"
"You guys talk so much, go to sleep!" He Yu reached out and patted their heads, telling them to go to sleep quickly.
The flamingo chicks perched on the wooden sticks by the bed shrank back and stopped talking.
