Blessings to the beautiful stars

Chapter 217 Teeth
At the beginning of human beings, it is difficult to say whether nature is good or evil.

But after ignoring the family filter, because the newborn's body is not yet fully developed, it may be difficult for their appearance to conform to the aesthetics of adults——

The whole body is wrinkled, the head is as soft as a water bag, and the noise makes people uncomfortable.

Perhaps traits like likability, like knowledge or even moral values, are acquired gradually with age.

In childhood, beauty has not yet transformed from cuteness, and the child's body still retains the deconstruction required for development, which looks a little scary.

such as.

When children change their teeth, the teeth are not born out of thin air, but the tooth germs that have been prepared in the upper and lower jaws complete their growth, and then slowly push them out.

thus.

In children's skulls, cheeks, and jaws, during the period of tooth replacement, there are actually densely packed, full of cavities, which are filled with teeth that have not yet grown.

But humans are fine, they only need to change their teeth once in a lifetime, and there is only one new set of teeth stored in the skull; after the tooth replacement is completed, the cavity in the bone will gradually close, and it will become completely regular and cold after adulthood beauty.

But Ma Niang is different. She has been preparing for tooth replacement all her life. There are more than one set of spare teeth in the skull, not only in the upper and lower jaws, but even near the eye sockets.

The astonishing number of spare teeth means that there are also many cavities in the Hui skull for reserve teeth, and these cavities will never have the day of filling.

On the contrary, due to the growth of age, it will be stretched wider and looser by countless new teeth flowing out of the cavity.

Therefore, a long time ago, the elderly Hui people seldom even died of organ failure, but the continuous expansion of tooth cavities affected the overall strength of the skull, and they would die of skull fractures if they were not careful.

at this time.

Ji Zhi's cheeks were flushed, and he covered his mouth with loose teeth with both hands, as if this could slightly block some light from seeing through the bones, and made the above science popularization in a muffled voice.

Marika nodded. Although these things were obvious to her at a glance, they were more or less references: "Thank you, Ms. Ji Zhi, you can take your hands off now."

Ji Zhi was vigilant: "You won't keep the photo of my skull, will you? It's full of teeth and cavities, like a tree trunk that is about to be eaten away by moths..."

The professor sighed softly: "Don't worry, this is more or less the patient's privacy; but I don't think Mr. Zuo will mind."

Zuo Wu hastened to wink at Marika, who had been quietly begging for this photo from Marika in the field of vision; Marika didn't give it, but fortunately, it didn't look like it would be exposed.

No exposure is required either.

Ji Zhi covered her blushing face and kept looking at Zuo Wu with misty eyes. This was her silent protest.

Having already become a pillow person in the process of being alone, some of Zuo Wu's thoughts have never been hidden from Ji Zhi's hope.

Zuo Wu scratched his hair and could only explain: "I was just thinking that the regeneration of the Hui tribe's teeth would affect the strength of the Hui tribe's skull. Would it be the same for you? I don't think so unless I see it with my own eyes. rest assured."

Ji Zhi's ears trembled, and the hand covering his face loosened a little: "Really? It's not us... When we were alone, you kept touching my lungs and nose... You understand, the reason for this is similar ?”

Lung and nose are the breathing holes on the horses of the Yi tribe. They are distributed between the ribs and are covered with countless thorns and fluff. They are directly connected to the lungs and secrete mucus to filter the dust in the air. Ji Zhi has always felt inferior because of her ugliness.

But the point of her extremely low self-esteem is exactly what Zuo Wu likes; Ji Zhi even thinks that men like these ugly places on her body far more than the face that she has been taking good care of.

It was hard for Ji Zhi not to feel extremely conflicted.

"Really," Zuo Wu said solemnly, "at least this time the factors that care about your health must account for a greater proportion."

He didn't deny that he was really interested in it.

"It's okay, I'm still young after all, and the current medicine allows us to easily strengthen the skull, such things rarely happen,"

Sagittarius nodded lightly, tricking herself into accepting the words, and shook her tail hanging behind her:
"Also, don't forget that Bai Ace's Tao-seeking program is still running autonomously in my body. I haven't done anything, but my body is getting stronger and stronger."

Hearing the word "seeking the Tao", Marika squinted her eyes. This is what the professor is most interested in;
It is said that the principle is to construct a private world in the body of the seeker. Is this another answer to my Golden Country plan?
Just like referring to the growth of the horse's teeth, this is what Marika needs to refer to.

Really need a reference.

Marika turned around and began to collect the body information of Della who was still obediently waiting on the other side. After finishing, she sat down; while giving the insect a physical examination, she thought about her recent gains and losses.

His own golden country plan can be described as a serious setback.

Originally planned to obtain the exploration rights of a star field, and then placed the tailor's golden scissors that can cut off the hyperspace channel, and slowly activated them. During the process, Chief Judge Shi Wener came to cover.

But Shi Wener was suspended.

The reason is that the explosion from the starfish cannery made everyone understand the hidden risks. Of course, Shi Wener had to be reviewed again and again, as well as the documents he approved.

Judging from the recent busyness of Liangguling's family, Shi Wener's troubles are not small; should we say that it was expected or unexpected?The risk of this starfish being imprisoned is not high, and there is even a slight possibility of reinstatement.

all in all.

During the period when the chief referee of the starfish was under review, Marika could only endure the freezing of her own approval document and plan some other possibilities.

I don't think it's a pity, because Marika didn't know the existence of Renlian or players before; isn't it a little too naive to want to use the physical distance calculated in light years to isolate the outside world and the existence like them?
Naive indeed.

Marika was leaning casually on the chair with one hand on her chin, and unconsciously corrected her sitting posture at this moment;
Looking back on my own time this year, I devoted myself to the "Army of the Dead", but I forgot the more basic knowledge underneath, and I even had to rely on my mother-in-law as a reference to recall what I thought I knew by heart.

You have to think about it.

It's just that Marika didn't know that her sudden seriousness made Zuo Wu and Duzi tense up as if they were facing a big enemy.

Della still opened her mouth, giggling in a carefree and even heartless manner; her small face was made of carapaces, so there was no need to worry about opening her mouth for too long and making her cheeks sore.

It wasn't until the professor caught a glimpse of Zuo Wu and Duzi's expressions from the corner of his eye that he burst out laughing:

"Don't worry, you two, everything seems to be normal now, and little Della, you can also keep your mouth shut, and you can ask your own mother for a candy."

The blunt clicked his tongue and wanted to say where she prepared the sugar, but he couldn't resist the sudden light in Della's eyes, so he took off the surgical gown that he dug out somewhere, and rushed to the kitchen that she had never entered before. .

Marika got up and took one of the four hands of the insect girl; the examination of Della's teeth was just an appetizer, and the in-depth research in the future was the main topic.

Zuo Wu has explained many things to his daughter about today's inspection, so Della is not nervous at all; when she followed Marika, she turned her head and waved goodbye with three hands together, like a small spinning windmill: "Dad, Mama Centaur, goodbye!"

Della is so even though the place she will go is only five steps away from Wu Wu in another creation.

Still covering her face, Ji Zhi snorted sullenly: "I don't think it's just Della's innocence. Your daughter's views on 'parting' seem to be...too heavy."

Zuo Wu nodded.

Della will always grow up and become a queen, protecting the towering tree of the bug people.

The growth of children is always fragile and sensitive, and sometimes some small factors will interfere with their final growth shape.

Besides, what Della was going through was no small matter—

In the face of the Duanmu stratosphere, he had to give up the insect labor, and this time he was almost caught up by the God Creation Manifesto detonated by resentment;
It might have been a storm that destroyed everything on other children, but Della was still as strong as ever.

But Zuo Wu was a little at a loss. He still didn't know how to properly guide him, or even whether he should guide him or not.

Just like the genetic mutation of a creature, it is impossible to know whether it is benign or malignant until the moment it is tested by the environment;
Traditional human education can only help children better adapt to the already stable human society; in this sea of ​​stars where the crisis is emerging, we must not apply it mechanically.

there.

The creations assembled by Marika began to emit various lights, and there were clicking sounds of parts colliding; it was more like some evil test bench than a medical examination device.

But Della just giggled like she was being tickled.

Zuo Wu pursed his lips. He still didn't understand that Della attached great importance to parting, and what kind of impact it would have on the future of Chongniang. He wanted to go back to discuss with Renmaniang, but suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry:
"Ji Zhi, the perspective of your skeleton is over, why are you still covering your mouth?"

Ma Niang touched her cheek and moved her fingers a few times: "I'm not covering my mouth, I just remembered something;"

"For the Yi people, the criterion for judging a girl is not only the appearance, but also the face is carefully touched by the matchmaker before they marry, and the cavities hidden under our skin that hide the reserves of teeth;"

"The thinner the cavity in a girl's face compared to the average size of her age, the finer the food the woman eats, the less wear and tear the teeth have, and the better the living conditions;"

"Just like you humans like thin skin and tender meat, like Miss Ai's lady."

As she spoke, Ren Ma Niang glanced at the distance, as if she was talking to Ai Shanshan who was not here.

Zuo Wu scratched his hair, and before he could say anything, Ji Zhi continued with his own words:
"A matchmaker of the Yi nationality can judge the length of a lady's lifespan by touching her face, and can even predict her future appearance - the cavity of the skull will become wider and larger, of course we will become ugly. "

talking.

Ji Zhi frowned:

"Fortunately, I don't have this kind of trouble, not only because the current medicine is more advanced than before, but also because I found a cheap master;"

"Zuo Wu, I have a hunch that the time we spend together may be very long, maybe...it may exceed this icy 300 years."

Zuo Wu nodded, as if he heard Ji Zhi's subtext; he reached out to touch the ear on the top of her head, but was not satisfied, and kept going down until he touched Renma Niang's hand covering her face.

"Even if it's more than 300 years old, the traditions of your Yi people can't be lost." Zuo Wu grinned, "Speaking of which, you haven't touched your face carefully for me yet."

Ji Zhi raised his eyebrows, feeling familiar again.

She hates the ugly part of her body, and also feels jealous of Zuo Wu for the part she loves more than her own body.

But she enjoyed Zuo Wu's teasing about her body very much, flirting like drinking poison to quench thirst.

thinking.

The horse lady didn't let go of her hand covering her face, the moisture in her eyebrows became more and more intense:
"I said I don't need it, because I will never marry again in my life."

"Can you allow Miss Ai to have the freedom to switch to and leave you at any time; why can't I have some little secrets that you can't...can't get easily?"

Zuo Wu nodded, still didn't take back his hand, but got closer and closer to Ji Zhi:

"There is no way to get it temporarily? What should the condition be?"

Ji Zhi lowered her eyes, seeming reserved, but the horse's lungs and nose breathing became heavier and her tail wagging more and more cheerfully: "I have to think about it..."

Think about it.

At this moment, Du Zi just rushed back from the kitchen, holding a small bag full of candies in his arms, he just gave a thumbs up when he saw the relationship between the two, and then rushed into the room where Della was undergoing a physical examination.

Renma Niang also thought about her first request, and slowly let go of her hand covering half of her face, her lips and teeth slightly parted:

"Will you help me pull out a tooth first?"

extract a tooth?

Zuo Wu was stunned, it was really his blind spot, he took a few steps back, wanting to at least seek Marika's advice.

But Ji Zhi refused to let him go: "It's not that complicated, the tooth-changing season of the Yi people has existed since the birth of our ethnic group; for so many years, I haven't heard of any young compatriots who have had an accident because of tooth-changing;"

"Besides, is this a sterile environment created by Immortal Marika?"

"Zuo Wu, please hurry up, hurry up."

talking.

The centaur lady's lips and teeth became wider and wider, she even used her tongue to point which tooth was closest to loosening, and then closed her eyes expectantly.

Zuo Wu swallowed hard, since Ji Zhi said it's not that complicated, since this is a sterile environment.

He directly extended his hand.

It was inevitable to feel Ji Zhi's scorching breath.

Pinch that tooth.

Apply lightly.

Click.

Ji Zhi suddenly let out a light hum that was extremely comfortable, as if Panasonic was carrying some extremely heavy burden;

But this soft snort was overshadowed by Dutzi's scream: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Zuo Wu, something is wrong!"

Zuo Wu didn't understand the situation for a while, but turned around in surprise.

Della bounced and ran out happily, holding a piece of candy she took a bite of in her hand, inlaid with a small sharp dragon tooth, and handed it to Zuo Wu.

This is Della growing up.

And Zuo Wu also had a foreign object in his hand, he turned his head, and a thin line of blood flowed from the corner of Ma Niang's mouth.

This is Ji Zhi's joy.

The two teeth are held in Zuo Wu's hands, and they are incomparably precious by any incomparable jewel.

at this time.

Ji Zhi's vision suddenly sounded, someone contacted, she wanted to hang up impatiently.

But when she saw who the contact person was, she hesitated for a moment—it was Ji Ya, her cousin, who she thought was a relative who would never get married and would never contact again.
