I may be a dummy

Chapter 69

They didn't feel it in the big trench, and they didn't really feel the temperature drop until they swam out of the water.The sky was gloomy, and the wind was bleak.When I just returned to Haicheng, the first snow in winter fell. The crystal snowflakes were as soft as white feathers. The moment they fell to the sea, they melted into water.

Dongchen stopped suddenly. He looked up at the sky, opened his hands to catch the tiny white snowflakes, and said excitedly to Han Zhan, "Brother, look, it's snowflakes~"

Han Zhan's eyes fell on his side face, and the eyelashes stained with hoarfrost trembled slightly, unconsciously stirring Han Zhan's heart, "Well, it's very beautiful."

"Dongchen, Dongchen! Come here!" Dongkui in front noticed that Dongchen hadn't followed, and hurriedly beckoned to him.

"Okay, I'll come!" Dong Chen shouted, the blue fish tail flicked slightly, and swam up.

About to arrive in Haicheng, Dongchen heard Jiali's crisp voice coming from the direction of Haicheng, "Zai Zai—"

It's dad.

Winter Cub's eyes glowed warmly, and he was about to plunge into the water while wagging his tail.

The huge red fish tail swayed in front of his eyes. Immediately afterwards, he fell into a gentle embrace, smelling the familiar breath, and Dongchen raised the corners of his lips, smiling sweetly, "Dad."

Jiali hugged Dongchen around twice, he was both happy and melancholy, alas, Zaizai has grown up, and he can no longer hold it in the palm of his hand like before.

But the cubs who grow up are also very obedient.

Jiali pressed her cheek against it and rubbed it.

Still soft.

Dongchen's cheeks flushed from being rubbed by her father, and she was embarrassed to push her away, so she could only look at her brother for help.

The deep sea blue eyes are watery, as if they can speak, no mermaid can refuse such a pair of clean eyes.

Han Zhan frowned slightly, "Uncle Jiali, Chenchen is hungry."

Because Dongchen forbids everyone to call him "Dongzai", Han Zhan has to change his name to "Chenchen".

"Really?" Jiali immediately let go of Dongchen, grabbed his hand, and swam towards Haicheng, "Then we're going back soon, Lei Zhe has caught a lot of fish and is waiting for you to come back."

Jiali would occasionally go to the Great Trench to visit Dongchen to see if he was injured.Lei Zhe was too busy to go there, so he asked Jiali to bring something to eat for Dongchen.

Even though the fathers couldn't be with Zai Zai, they still cared about him.

I haven't seen Lei Zhe's father for a long time, and Dongchen misses him a little bit.

In a few months, the size of Haicheng has doubled, even including the islands on the water.

If the former Haicheng was just a small village, the current Haicheng has finally evolved into a small city.

In the waters above Haicheng, all kinds of fish roam leisurely.

The fathers took good care of the small fishing ground left by Dongchen. In addition to bighead fish, winged fish, and silvertail, there are many fish that Dongchen doesn't know.

Dongchen stared intently at the lively fish, pursed her mouth, was hungry and wanted to eat.

Jia Li said: "The ocean current passed by some time ago, and I don't know which sea area brought the fish. I tasted good, so I asked Lei Zhe to catch a few and raise them for you to eat when you come back."

The corners of Dongchen's mouth curled up involuntarily, "Thank you, Dad."

Back in Haicheng, Dongchen and his friends went back to their respective homes.

"Brother, come quickly." Dongchen shouted to Han Zhan behind him.

Jiali turned her head and raised her eyebrows, "You come here too."

Han Zhan was slightly taken aback, and looked up at the innocent smile on Dongchen's face, his dark eyes were filled with tenderness that was warmer than the warm sun in spring.

He said, "Okay."

Lei Zhe and the others still lived in that small round house, and everything was arranged the same as before Dongchen left.

The colorful corals in front of the house swayed with the flowing sea water, the sea flowers placed on the window sills were still bright, and the shells at the door "ding ding dong dong" sounded.

Lei Zhe swam out and said calmly, "I'm back."

That tone, as if Dongchen just went out to play for a while, not a few months.

Lei Zhe prepared a lot of fish for them, and Dongchen is no longer the little cub in the past. Although his teeth are still not sharp enough, he can bite as long as the sea animal meat is not too hard.Most importantly, he can swallow a dozen fish in one go.

Although he still doesn't like gnawing fish bones, every time he finishes gnawing the fish meat, Han Zhan will silently eat the fish bones by himself.Under Han Zhan's connivance, Dongchen really never ate a fish bone.

All the fish were processed, and the meat was fresh and tender. I hadn't eaten such delicious meat in a few months. Dongchen had a happy expression on his face, and he buried his head and bit the fish quickly.

After eating the meat, Dongchen threw away the fish bones while the fathers were not paying attention.

Han Zhan took the fish bone back without changing his expression, stuffed it into his mouth, and crushed the fish bone in two or three bites.

Dongchen was a little shy, especially in front of his fathers, watching his brother eat his leftover fish bones, but his fathers didn't respond, as if they were used to it, Dongchen breathed a sigh of relief.

After eating, Dongchen habitually followed Han Zhan to swim out, "Dad, let's go back~"

"Wait." Jiali stuffed a few fruits into Dongchen's hands, "I picked them from the island, take them back and eat slowly."

Before winter came, Jiali picked all the fruits on the island, but unfortunately they couldn't keep them for too long. When Dongchen came back, there were only a few edible ones left.

Dongchen was so moved, he hugged Jiali reluctantly, "I won't go back, Dad, I'll sleep with you tonight."

With a dark face, Lei Zhe asked Han Zhan to drag Dongchen away.

Seeing the back of Dongchen leaving with Han Zhan, Jiali felt a little sad. His family's pampered cub was finally abducted by the mermaid from the next door.

Lei Zhe lowered his head and kissed Jiali's lips, "If you like raising cubs so much, why don't we have another little mermaid."

Jiali pushed him away, and gave him a blank look, "No matter how many little mermaids you have, they can't compare to Zai Zai."

For some reason, he had a feeling recently that his family had gone through untold hardships before they came back to reunite with them, and he was reluctant to let his family suffer any more grievances.

"Father is so kind to me." Dongchen followed Han Zhan, swam into the house, and said to Han Zhan while biting the fruit.

Han Zhan looked at Dongchen's rosy lips, his eyes were slightly deep.

"By the way, brother." Dongchen called him.

"Ok?"

"Don't eat my leftover fish bones anymore." Dongchen couldn't help but said.

Han Zhan seemed a little confused, "Why can't you eat it?"

Dongchen faltered, I couldn’t say that there was my saliva in the fish bones, but we all lived in the sea, so there was no saliva.I didn't think so before, but recently when I saw Han Zhan eating his fish bones, Dongchen always felt uncomfortable and had an inexplicable sense of shame.

He quickly changed the subject, "Brother, do you still remember Pangpang?"

Han Zhan probably remembered that it was the little fat bird that recklessly took Dongchen, who was still a cub, to fly into the air.

"What's up with him?"

Dongchen said obediently, "I haven't seen Pangpang for a long time, and I kind of miss him."

Seeing his obedient little expression, Han Zhan's fingers itched slightly, and he wanted to pinch it, "Don't you want the fish he grilled?"

Dong Chen narrowed her eyes with a smile, "I think so too."

They mermaids can't leave the water for a long time, so they can't know what happened on the land side.If Little Fat Bird and the others don't come, they will never have the chance to meet again in this life.

On the vast and boundless Pangu Continent, several beasts that looked like tigers and leopards were running on the grassland, as fast as a gust of wind, passing through half of the grassland in the blink of an eye.

They rushed into the herd of horned cattle, bit the horned bull's neck, and dragged the horned bull to gallop.

At the end of the grassland is a dense forest. Their tribe is located in front of the forest, and the wooden houses are scattered in an orderly manner.

Beasts like tigers and leopards rushed to the tribe and turned into young men in an instant.They picked up animal skins from the ground, wrapped them around their waists, and dragged the dead horned bull into the tribe.

At this time, several hawks flew across the sky and flew towards the high mountains behind the forest.

The orcs of the tribe raised their heads in a hurry and cheered, "Is the king back?!"

Their king is Yuren, and he is very powerful.

He led the orcs to fight in all directions, laying down one territory after another.

He is both cruel and merciful king.

Orcs who do not obey him will be driven out of here, those who resist will be killed, and orcs who obey him will become his people.

The orcs of the nearby tribes were all his subjects.

And the orcs of their tribe respected and feared him.

What cheered the orcs was that their king came back and brought back a lot of food. They don't have to worry about being hungry this winter.

Hui Yi patted the taupe-feathered hawk beside him with his wings, "Your brother is back, why don't you go and see him?"

The eagle bird shook its feathers lazily, "No, why should I go to him."

Yingniao is Qimian. In the past six months, he has met his brother Qihe very few times. His brother has been outside for a long time. After attacking this tribe, he will attack the next tribe. If it is not winter, I am afraid he will Brother is not planning to come back.

Qi Mian could feel that the distance between him and his brother was getting farther and farther.

Before Qihe came back, Qimian would still visit him.

But every time they meet, Qihe will let him take the meat back, Qimian is very helpless, so that every time he looks for his brother, it's just for the meat, and it's not like he can't catch the prey.

"During the breeding season next year, your brother should be looking for a partner, right?" Hui Yi said.

Most of them belong to the Yuren tribe, similar to the Mermaid tribe, and some Yuren change their partners every year.But their Huiyu tribe is one of the few feathermen who insist on monogamy.

If one partner dies, the other would rather die alone than find another partner.

Therefore, adult Huiyu tribe feathermen are very cautious about finding a partner, and will not form partners with other feathermen casually.

If the male Yuren are tall and colorful, they can easily attract the attention of the female Yuren.Some feathered beasts have beautiful feathers or special decorations such as crowns and horns, and they can use these beautiful ornaments to attract female feathered people.

In terms of feathers, the gray feathered people are much inferior to other feathered people, such as the white feathered people, so they can only rely on their majestic body shape to attract the attention of female feathered people.

"What about you, don't you plan to find a partner next year?" Qi Mian asked Hui Yi.

Hui Yi let out a "tsk", "Trouble, I won't look for it anymore."

Qimian said in a daze, "What's the trouble with the female feathered ones? Don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't find a partner during the breeding period?" Qimian only became an adult at the end of this year's breeding period, and he has never experienced that feeling of restlessness all over his body, but According to other Yuren, it will be very uncomfortable, and even want to rub the bark.

Hui Yi came of age a few months earlier than him, and happened to be a Yuren who had grown up during the breeding season, and had just experienced a long winter and was starving and skinny. Compared with other adult Yuren, he had no advantage at all.

Qi Mian always thought that Hui Yi couldn't find a mate during this year's breeding season because no female Yuren liked him.

Hui Yi tilted his head, and said softly, "Idiot." If I find a partner, don't you have to be a bird by yourself, alone?

As soon as the words came out, they were blown away by the wind.

Qimian didn't hear clearly, so he asked, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing, I'm going to hunt." Hui Yi spread his wings and flew into the sky.

"I'm coming too." Qimian hurriedly flapped his wings to catch up, "Wait for me."

Dongchen discovered that in the past few days, my brother was often not in Haicheng, leaving early and returning late every day, not knowing what he was up to.When he came back, he was already asleep and had no chance to ask him.

Dongchen went out to catch fish with Yuanxi and the others tonight, and came back late, just in time to meet Han Zhan coming back, his face was gloomy, and he calmed down only when he saw Dongchen.

It's just that the sky was too dark, Dongchen didn't notice, he said pleasantly, "Brother, you're back~"

"Have you eaten?" Han Zhan asked when he saw the finfish hanging at the door when he entered the door.

"I've eaten it, and this is the fish left for you."

Han Zhan didn't say that he had already eaten it. He grabbed the finished fin fish and swam into the house from Dongchen's side.

As he got closer, Dongchen suddenly smelled a burnt smell on Han Zhan's body, and he couldn't smell it unless he smelled it carefully.He leaned forward, his nostrils twitching slightly, and he was sure that the burning smell came from Han Zhan, he wondered: "Brother, why do you stink?"

Han Zhan paused for a moment with his hand holding the fish, his expression was subtle, and his tone was uncertain: "It really stinks?"

"Not really, but it smells a bit bad." Dong Chen pushed him to swim out, "Go out and clean the scales, you are not allowed to go home tonight if you don't clean them up."

Han Zhan: ...
