Chapter 131: Throw the lost teeth on the roof
The teeth are white, thin and pointed.
"What should I do with Nimu? Why did Mr. Yoghurt's teeth fall out?" There was a little panic in Mao Mao's eyes.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take a look at your mouth first."
Li Mu gently stroked the kitten's back to comfort her, and then held her in his arms: "Master Yogurt, please open your mouth."
"Ah~"
"Open wider."
"Ah~~" The kitten opened its mouth as wide as possible, revealing its small white teeth and pink tongue.
There are four canine teeth in the cat's mouth. Now one is missing in the lower left corner. If you look closely, you can see that a new pointed tooth has sprouted on the gum bed in the vacant position.
"I see, there's no need to open your mouth." Li Mu smiled and put the kitten back on the table.
"Why did Mr. Yoghurt's teeth fall out?" Mao Mao squatted on the table and looked at Li Mu nervously.
"Because Mr. Yoghurt has grown up and is starting to lose his teeth."
"Changing teeth?"
"Master Yoghurt's teeth before were the baby teeth of kittens, but this time they will be replaced by the hard teeth of big cats."
"Big cat!"
"Yes, after the teeth are replaced this time, Mr. Yoghurt will have sharper and stronger teeth like a big cat."
The cat lowered its head and stretched out its little paws to move the little fangs. The panic in its eyes disappeared and was replaced by the excitement and happiness of becoming a big cat.
"What mini teeth!" Brother Nan leaned his head over and stared at the fangs on the table.
The cat used its small claws to push its teeth towards Brother Nan, like a child showing off his treasure, "Brother Lan, Mr. Yogurt is going to change his teeth and become a big cat!"
"Oh? Do you want to give me your tooth?"
Brother Nan picked up the small tooth on the table, put it in front of his eyes and said, "No, the lost tooth will be thrown on the roof."
"Meow?" Mao Mao tilted her head. She couldn't understand what Brother Nan said.
"You translate what I said for her." Brother Nan stared at his teeth and said to Li Mu without raising his head.
Li Mu pursed his lips and looked at Xiaomao: "Brother Nan said that the lost teeth should be thrown on the roof."
After speaking, he secretly glanced at Brother Nan. Brother Nan was looking at the light with his little canine teeth, as if he couldn't hear him.
"Why throw the roof?" the kitten asked curiously.
"In our human world, there is a traditional custom that children's teeth should not be thrown away casually, otherwise the new teeth will not grow properly."
"What should we do?" Mao Mao turned his head and glanced at the teeth in Brother Nan's hand.
"Throw it over the roof and bury it in the ground."
Li Mu didn't wait for the kitten to ask questions and continued: "According to the old man, if the upper teeth fall out, they will be buried underground, and the lower teeth will be thrown on the roof."
"Why?" Kitty asked anyway.
Li Mu smiled and touched the cat's forehead, "Because the upper teeth grow downwards, they should be buried in the soil. The lower teeth grow upwards, so they should be thrown onto the roof. In this case, the teeth will not grow. Crooked."
"You have a bit of feudal superstition. It has been scientifically proven that you can grow good teeth without throwing down the roof." Brother Nan said from the side, and she had been eavesdropping with her ears pricked just now.
"Nothing." Brother Nan added, "We all came here this way when we were young. This is called inheritance."
Li Mu nodded. Many customs in the Dragon Kingdom may seem superstitious, but in fact they contain the wisdom and emotions of the ancients.
For example, throwing teeth contains the parents' best wishes for their children to grow up healthily.
"Shall I help you throw it on the roof?" Brother Nan asked the kitten.
"Brother Nan said to help you throw the tooth onto the roof."
"Well," the kitten tilted its head and thought for a moment, "will the teeth grow better the higher you throw them?"
"Yes." Li Mu looked at the small second floor in the center of the yard, "Our house has two floors, which is very high."
"Not high."
"Um?"
"It's not as high as the original god."
"That's it." Li Mu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"What are you talking about?" Brother Nan felt itchy in his heart as he listened. He couldn't hold it back anymore and looked at Li Mu: "Quickly translate and let me listen."
"Yoghurt wants to throw your teeth higher."
"Aren't our two floors too short?"
"Do you remember the musk deer who took us to pick matsutake mushrooms last time?" Li Mu told Brother Nan the general situation of rescuing the musk deer and the mountain.
"oh"
Brother Nan turned to look at the green peridot hanging under the eaves: "Did you pick up the Yogurt house jewel on that mountain?"
"Yeah." "Yes." Brother Nan made an OK gesture, "Let's patrol the forest early tomorrow, and then go climb the big mountain after the patrol."
Li Mu nodded. Yogurt and Brother Nan both wanted to go to that mountain, so he would naturally not object.
"Here, put the tooth in place." Brother Nan placed the small canine tooth in Li Mu's hand.
"Master Yogurt, do you want to keep it yourself?" Li Mu handed the teeth in his palm to the kitten.
"Put it away for Mr. Yogurt." After one glance, the kitten walked to her small bowl and continued to eat the dried rat.
"Your teeth haven't grown yet, so don't chew on hard things recently." Li Mu picked up the dried rat, tore the rat meat into small strips and put it in the kitten's bowl.
Brother Nan also helped the kitten tear up some green vegetables and chicken.
After eating, Brother Nan and Li Mu went to wash the dishes together.
The cat jumped off the table, climbed onto the wall of the courtyard, and stretched its neck to look at the mountains under the night sky.
"What are Master Yoghurt looking at?" The cubs, who were also playing in the yard after having a full meal, squatted under the wall and looked at the kitten.
"Look at the mountains."
The kitten turned around and jumped off the wall and walked to a group of cubs. "Master Yoghurt is going to throw his lost teeth up a very high mountain. From now on, he will be a big cat!"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"Why don't my teeth fall out?" Sister Tiger Cub licked the teeth in her mouth, but she didn't feel that any of the teeth were about to fall out.
"What are you talking about?" Li Mu finished washing the dishes and saw a group of cubs chattering together and walked towards them.
"Li Mu, do you think my tooth is about to fall out?" Sister Tiger Cub ran to his feet: "I also want to throw my tooth up a high mountain like Mr. Yoghurt!"
After saying that, Sister Tiger Cub opened her mouth wide and asked Li Mu to help her look.
"I want it too!" My younger brother also came running.
"You are still young, and it will take some time for your teeth to grow." Li Mu knelt down and touched the tiger cubs.
"Where are we?" asked the little wolf cub.
"Your teeth should be replaced in the near future." Li Mu touched the wolf cub again.
They have entered the molar stage, and when new teeth grow in, they will push out the deciduous teeth.
"Even if our teeth fall out, we will throw them to the high mountains!" The wolf cubs jumped up and down happily.
"Okay, throw them all on the mountain."
Li Mu touched the cubs one by one. It seems that this custom among humans will be popularized in the animal world by the kittens.
After wiping the kitten's paws clean, the kitten jumped on the bed and lay down.
"Master Yoghurt, haven't you felt that your teeth are itchy during this time?" Li Mu lay on the bed and asked the doubts in his heart.
As soon as the wolf cubs entered the molar period, they couldn't help but bite hard objects such as shoes. He didn't notice anything unusual about the yogurt.
If his teeth hadn't fallen out naturally after dinner tonight, he wouldn't have known that the kitten was also starting to lose its teeth.
"It's itchy." The kitten licked its paws twice and washed its face.
"Then why don't you see Mr. Yoghurt biting anything?"
"Bitten."
"What did you bite? I didn't see anything bitten at home?" Li Mu turned sideways and looked at the kitten.
Except for the last time the wolf cub chewed up a pair of his slippers and made them a teething toy, nothing in the house had been bitten.
"It's biting the branches, and there are mice." The kitten stared at Li Mu, its eyes reflecting the light, shining brightly: "You can't bite the things in the house."
"So you have to run out every time your teeth itch?"
"Yes."
"Master Yoghurt is so sensible." Li Mu held the cat in his arms. How could he not love such a sensible kitten?
“Sensible~”
"Why didn't you tell me that your teeth were itching?"
"Master Yoghurt doesn't know that he needs to change his teeth."
"I'm sorry, I forgot that Mr. Yoghurt also has a teething period. I didn't prepare a teething toy for you, so you have to run out and bite branches every day."
"It's okay." The kitten imitated the way Li Mu touched her, stretched out a small paw and put it on his face and stroked it gently. The pad was soft.
"Why isn't it bright yet?"
"It will light up after a good sleep, and then put Lord Yoghurt's teeth on the top of the highest mountain."
"Master Yoghurt, go to bed now!"
The cat lay down and closed his eyes and became silent.
