Xiao Yu immediately nodded, "Yes, that's right, I hadn't expected it either. Look how big this octopus is; it'll be enough for us to eat for several meals, haha!"
Xiao Yu carried the wooden bucket into the room, wanting Grandma to have a look too. After several days of her treatment, the old woman's condition had improved a lot. She was even able to catch octopuses by herself, and she picked it up for inspection.
"This is a female octopus, even if you don't catch it, it's about to die."
"Ah? Why is that?"
Xiao Yu hurriedly leaned in to see, but with her experience, she couldn't tell its gender at all.
"This female octopus has just laid eggs. She may be the most devoted and self-sacrificing mother in the world."
As it turned out, female octopuses give birth only once in their lifetime, laying hundreds to thousands of eggs, hidden within their dens.
During the incubation period, the female octopus stays by the den without moving, neither eating nor sleeping.
