Chapter 198 - Nineteen Eggs (1/2)

“How are the babies? I want to take a look.”

“I’ll go and count them.” Curtis picked Bai Qingqing’s hair that had stuck to her face from her perspiration, then said to Parker, “Go and boil water to help Xiao Bai wipe her body.”

“Alright!” Parker ran out docilely.

Curtis’s nest had been made quite wet, and nineteen white eggs covered in viscous liquid were resting on it. He took out the bamboo basket that Bai Qingqing had prepared a long time ago, picked up the eggs, and put them into it.

Bai Qingqing watched. When she saw Curtis turning over, she immediately asked, “How many?”

“Nineteen.” Curtis placed the bamboo basket next to her. His movements were very casual, and when the basket was placed down, the snake eggs collided, causing slight sounds.

Bai Qingqing was given a bad shock. “Be gentler. Don’t break them.”

Bai Qingqing subconsciously lowered her volume, afraid that her voice would be too loud and might crack the snake eggs.

Curtis wore a light smile on his face, but the depths of his face were cold when looking toward the snake eggs.

“You’ll still have to be careful.” Bai Qingqing glared at Curtis, even though she could only see a black figure.

Bai Qingqing propped up her body with her elbow as she looked at the eggs from the grass pile, laughing uncontrollably. She reached out her hand to gently poke one of them. “They are dried.”

The nineteen eggs only took up one-third of the space in the bamboo basket, and it felt very empty. Bai Qingqing was a little regretful. If she had known, she would have made the bamboo basket smaller. They would be able to be more comfortable then.

Sparks rose in the main room, dying the bedroom in an orange-red light as well. Parker came in with a basin of hot water, washed the towel, and helped to wipe her.
