Chapter 145 - The Cry of a Bear Beastman (1/2)
The lobsters in the basket climbed up, making “thud thud thud” sounds as they moved, and it looked like they were about to overturn it.
Bai Qingqing quickly poked those lobsters back down.
Parker was speechless.
Cortis was speechless.
Meeting their astonished gazes, Bai Qingqing laughed dryly. “Hur hur hur…”
Bai Qingqing now recalled that Eve frequently used a rattan basket to bring her leopard cubs out to play in the mountains, but she didn’t give this too much thought back then. She was surprised that this tiny detail implicated the customs in the beastman’s world.
“Stop poking it…” Parker could sense the vibration in the basket. His hands shook a little, and as he lowered his head and saw the lobsters in the carrier used for cubs, goosebumps rose all over his body.
Parker was about to pour out the lobsters from the basket, when Bai Qingqing hurriedly held it down and said, “Let’s just put the lobsters in there for a while. After we’ve picked enough lobsters, we’ll pour them out at home. It’s fine.”
“But…” Parker gazed at his surroundings. It was a rare sunny day, and the beastmen had all come out, but they hadn’t noticed them for the time being.
“We’ll be ridiculed by others,” Parker said worriedly.
Bai Qingqing pouted.
Cortis ruffled his hand through Bai Qingqing’s fringe that had been made messy by the wind and said indulgently, “If you wish to use it, just use it. No need to care about how others will look at you.”
Before the anxious Parker could speak, he heard Bai Qingqing say in a soft voice, “Forget it, gossip is a fearful thing.”
It wasn’t that Bai Qingqing was making a concession. Lobsters were living creatures, after all. This was probably the equivalent of people in the modern ages putting their dogs in baby prams. But then again, dogs were human’s best friends, so it was perhaps common for dog lovers to do this. However, if you place a bunch of lobsters in a baby’s pram…
It was a pretty scary thought.
