Chapter 105 Egg

Dou Dou was swimming in circles in the basin, playfully spitting a string of water at Hao Ren from time to time. Her mental state seemed no different from usual, which dispelled most of Hao Ren's previous tension. However, after careful observation, he did find something wrong with the little one: when she was swimming, she would unconsciously tilt her body to one side, and her tail did not swing as nimbly as before.

Having raised a mermaid for two years, Hao Ren had accumulated a lot of strange knowledge. What normal parents would have the leisure to observe whether their daughter's tail was straight or not? Hao Ren estimated that if he continued like this for another two years, he would be half an aquatic expert…

"Is anything uncomfortable?" Hao Ren asked, concerned, as he poked Dou Dou's little arm. Although the little one looked energetic, she was usually an overly energetic child, and coupled with the fact that she was still at a dazed and ignorant age, it was hard to say whether she would ignore small problems with her body.

Dou Dou fluttered around Hao Ren's finger twice and then hugged the latter's thumb: "My tummy is bloated, but it doesn't feel like anything anymore."

Hao Ren turned to Elizabeth and asked, "What did she eat this morning?"

Elizabeth touched her horns and tilted her head to recall: "My dad's newspaper, Vivian's comb... oh, and she took a few bites on your desk. Basically, it's the stuff she usually eats."

If this diet were given to anyone else, they would have been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, but after thinking about it, Hao Ren felt that the little one's diet was quite healthy today, at least she didn't gnaw on the table lamp base today - that thing was made of bakelite, and the little mermaid couldn't digest it at all...

At this time, Nangong Wuyue also heard the commotion and ran over. After listening to Dou Dou's situation, she carefully fished the little one out of the water and observed her carefully in the sunlight. She also used a water ball to make a magnifying glass to carefully study the scales on the little one's tail. Hao Ren looked at this real deep-sea expert with a nervous expression, and after a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "How is it? Is it a stomach ache or gastroenteritis?"

Nangong Wuyue put the little one back in the water, looking embarrassed: "Actually, I don't know - mermaids and hairtails are definitely not the same concept, and it's useless for me to use the experience of treating fish."

Dou Dou was clinging to the edge of the basin in the water, looking up. The scene of a circle of adults discussing problems seriously was a bit inexplicable to her. The little one curiously listened for a while and became impatient, and began to slap the water hard with her tail to attract Hao Ren's attention, and then shouted loudly: "Boring! Boring! Boring!"

Hao Ren stroked Dou Dou's head with his fingertip: "Is your tummy still bloated?"

The little mermaid nodded.

Hao Ren turned to the living room and called out: "Terminal! Prepare the medical pod, I'll give Dou Dou a CT scan!"

The data terminal gave an "oh" and remotely started the equipment in the basement, and then ran into the water room in a hurry: "Let this machine see what's wrong!"

Then Dou Dou was stunned when she saw this unfamiliar blonde big sister: "Who are you?"

Hao Ren grinned: "This is your zoetrope, it just got a new shell."

When Dou Dou heard this, she immediately beamed and jumped up to pounce on the girl-shaped data terminal. The latter subconsciously opened her arms to catch her, but after Dou Dou took off, she suddenly remembered something: "Wait, this machine is just an image now…"

Hao Ren steadily caught Dou Dou in mid-air and rolled his eyes at the data terminal: "So hurry up and change back for me. If you really want to express your girlish heart, go to the spaceship and express it to Nolan as much as you want, no one will stop you, but don't make trouble at home."

Then he prepared to take Dou Dou to the basement for a physical examination, but just as he was about to go out, the little one suddenly arched in his arms twice, and then grabbed his sleeve: "Daddy, my tummy is not bloated anymore."

Hao Ren was stunned: "Huh? Are you okay?"

Dou Dou twisted her body with a strange expression: "Yeah, it's suddenly not bloated anymore, and…"

Hao Ren looked nervous: "And what?"

Dou Dou touched everywhere, and then found a white sphere the size of a peanut from somewhere and handed it over: "I laid an egg."

Hao Ren: "…"

The scene was silent for about half a minute, and finally Dou Dou took the initiative to tug on Hao Ren's sleeve: "Daddy, I laid an egg."

"Oh, oh," Hao Ren widened his eyes and said "oh" twice, but in fact, his mind was still not working. He turned his head to look at Nangong Wuyue with a head full of question marks, "What, what exactly is going on?"

"You're asking me, who am I going to ask!" Nangong Wuyue rolled her eyes, "Hurry up and send the little one for a check-up first, and then determine the rest!"

Hao Ren hurriedly ran to the basement with Dou Dou in his arms, and the others followed behind him in a swarm. After a series of earth-shattering tossings, the examination results came out quickly. The results showed that there was nothing abnormal about the little one's body. She was as healthy as the sun at eight or nine in the morning. The only change was - she laid an egg.

Hao Ren held Dou Dou back to the living room and put the little mermaid on the table, and next to her in a small dish was the white sphere the size of a peanut. The family stared at each other for a long time, and no one spoke during the period. Hao Ren reached out to touch the small "fish egg". He had to be very careful, because the thing looked fragile, a small ball with a diameter of no more than one centimeter, he was afraid of breaking it with a touch.

Lili looked at Dou Dou and then at Hao Ren, and asked in a low voice, "Landlord, do you think this phenomenon is normal?"

"Laying eggs should be normal, after all, Dou Dou herself was hatched from an egg," Hao Ren scratched his hair, "But is this egg laid a bit too early? Dou Dou is only one year old!"

"Rather than the egg being laid too early, I'm more concerned about the egg being laid too small," Vivian frowned, "I remember that the mermaid egg that the landlord brought back from outside was as big as a fist, and it was as hard as a stone, but look at this one in front of you... It's too narrow to hatch a shrimp from inside, right?"

Lili squinted at Vivian: "You don't even look at how old Dou Dou is."

"Tsk, the main problem is that Dou Dou is the only one in the world now, and we have nowhere else to find other mermaids to compare," Nangong Sanba scratched his hair, "Who knows if this is a normal phenomenon. I often see on TV that children eat hormones that lead to precocious puberty, do you think Dou Dou is also like this?"

"Don't be silly, she eats wood, where did she get the hormones from," Nangong Wuyue scoffed, then thoughtfully, "If you have to say... she often eats books, is there something wrong with the ink on them?"

The others were discussing it in a lively manner, but Hao Ren was staring blankly at the egg laid by Dou Dou. After a long time, he suddenly looked up and asked Nangong Wuyue: "Do you know how to take care of an egg after it's laid?"

Nangong Wuyue's expression immediately became very strange: "Why would I know this?"

"Aren't you a siren?"

"Sirens are not mermaids, I can't lay eggs!"

"But how do I remember that you were a ball when you were just born?"

Nangong Wuyue's face turned red: "Who told you that as long as you are born a ball, you are oviparous? I didn't know what to grow into at that time, so I just grew randomly, okay! And Nezha was a ball of flesh when he was born, would you say he is oviparous or viviparous?"

Hao Ren covered his forehead painfully and趴on the table: "Damn, this problem is too complicated... What are we discussing!"

Dou Dou looked at the adults discussing some questions that she couldn't understand from beginning to end. The little one was full of energy after laying the egg. She jumped around on the table by herself, jumped next to Hao Ren, and then grabbed his hair: "Daddy, I'm hungry again!"

The person involved has become the least worried one.

At this time, Izhaks suddenly spoke to break the silence: "Why don't you ask the Goddess?"

A circle of people fell silent at the same time, and then one after another "oh" rose and fell. Hao Ren slammed his head with his fist: "I was really dizzy with anxiety, I forgot about this. Terminal, come over and dial the phone!"

The data terminal had already transformed back into a PDA form. It floated over leisurely. Just as it was about to connect to Raven 12345's communication, Raven 12345 suddenly sent a message proactively: "Hello, is Hao Ren there?"

"I was just about to find you!" Hao Ren quickly leaned over, "My daughter laid an egg!"

Raven 12345 should have something to notify, but after hearing Hao Ren's words, even she was choked for a long time, and after a few seconds, she muttered in a strange tone: "Hey, you really don't have a single day of peace... I happen to have something to find you, bring your daughter over. Oh, by the way, bring Vivian along."
