90. You're a mermaid, how can I help?
"Qingzhe, what the hell is going on? What about Xitu? Didn't you tell me he was here, too? Ta asked worriedly.
The fire pit in the house burned very strongly, and a simple screen was placed at the front and back doors, the doors were covered, and the windows were closed, and the room was very warm.
Qing Zhe handed the old priest a cup of hot water and motioned for him to drink it first to warm his body, and he moved the wooden pier forward, close to his relatives.
On such an occasion, Ao Yang naturally did not come in to hang out, he stayed on the observation deck outside, and from time to time he looked at the dense forest in the distance, or scanned the situation around the holy lake.
"Tower priest, you drink hot water first, don't worry, no matter what you want to know, I promise to know everything!" Qing Zhe smiled softly and said that he must have been in a happy mood when he saw the long-lost clansmen.
"Oh~ what is this?" Ta sighed and shook his head in annoyance, slowly holding the bamboo tube and drinking hot water.
After hearing the complaints of his relatives, Qing Zhe lowered his head in embarrassment, although he looked quite free and easy on the surface, but because some of the questions to be answered later were difficult for him to speak, so he was a little frightened.
"Tower priest, my mother, father, beast father, they...... Are you okay? Is it okay in the tribe? Qingzhe asked in a humbled whisper.
Hearing this, the old priest put the bamboo tube on the platform next to him, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Do you remember that you have a mother and a beast father?" After you suddenly disappeared on the day of the Beast God Festival, your mother and father were so anxious that they wanted to help you take care of Xitu, they were really miserable, and they always had to worry about you when they were old! Before, you couldn't get along with Higg, and they had to help you get through it, and then you and Situ came to the Holy Lake, and they were worried, and now what's going on? Say it yourself, what the hell is going on now! β
The words of the old priest were like sharp thorns, which instantly poked out ten or eight holes in Qing Zhe's heart, oozing blood.
Qing Zhe was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head, because what Ta said was the truth, and he couldn't refute it. This is the reason why he has been hesitant in the matter of Ao Yang, and the current shape of the sea and land tribes is destined to make him unable to make the best of both worlds.
In some things, he was not a filial child.
"Tower Priest, I know I'm not doing wellβ" Qingzhe replied with a pale face and barely composure.
At this time, Ao Yang, who had been guarding outside, pushed the door and walked in, and he was quite bold to take all the responsibility:
"Don't blame Qing Zhe, it's none of his business, on the day of the Beast God Festival, I infiltrated your tribe and snatched him over, if you want to scold me, I am the evil dragon Ao Yang in your mouth."
The old priest stood up abruptly, looking at the tall and sturdy strange orc across from him in disbelief, and looked at each other in disbelief.
"Y-You're the dragon?"
Ao Yang nodded calmly, "Yes, I am the evil dragon, Xitu was forcibly detained by me at the beginning, and so is Qingzhe." β
The old priest was weathered, and he quickly saw the abnormal eyes of Ao Yang when he looked at Qing Zhe, and when he turned his head to look at Qing Zhe, Ta couldn't believe that the females in his tribe actually didn't have any expressions of coercion, unwillingness, or humiliation?!
O my beast god! Evil dragons and land females?
"Qingzhe, you, you won't be ......? Well? Are you crazy? Ta couldn't help but raise his voice in shock.
Ao Yang's eyes were very earnest, and he looked at the female he liked expectantly.
Qing Zhe looked back and forth, focusing on the silent dragon for a moment, and finally bravely straightened his waist, raised his head and replied firmly: "Tower Priest, yes, it is what you imagined!" I, I'm going to live here from now on. β
"Beast God, Qingzhe, do you know what you're talking about?" The old priest dragged Qingzhe back a few steps, raised his voice and asked tremblingly, he had never imagined that there would be a land female who would dare to decide to live with the evil dragon.
Ao Yang was very satisfied, his always angular and aggressive face softened, and the scars on his eyebrow bones looked less fierce.
"Tower Priest, huh? Don't embarrass Qingzhe anymore, I take care of him here. Ao Yang rarely said soft words with a smile.
The old priest couldn't accept such unexpected news for a while, and still dragged Qingzhe back involuntarily, he was anxious, but there was no way to escape.
"You must have forced Qingzhe, right? How could Qingzhe fall in love with the evil dragon? Ta yelled.
"Tower priest, don't get excited, let's sit down and talk slowly, okay?" Qing Zheyang begged.
At this time, the bedroom door opposite was opened with a "clang", and Ji Mo leaned out half of his body, he was wearing loose clothes, not wrapped in a cloak, sleepy-eyed and sleepy asked:
"Why is it so noisy? Did something happen? β
Ao Bai went out to run errands today, so he naturally didn't worry about leaving his partner alone at home at the bottom of the lake, so when he got up, he took Ji Mo to the wooden house by the way, and let him continue to sleep back in the cage.
"Ji Mo, be sober, get dressed and come out again, this is the priest that Ao Bai invited back for you." Ao Yang introduced with a faint smile, and he obviously found that the eyes of the mermaid on the other side were still foggy and unfocused.
Oh, it's a priest.
What the? Is this the priest that Ao Bai invited? Just a doctor? Obstetrician?
Crossing the fish fierce spirit, completely sobered up, pushed the door panel in his hand back, and there was a loud "bang", he walked out quickly, directly held the old priest's hand and shook it a few times, and said enthusiastically:
"Hello, it turns out that you are the priest of the tower, sit down, sit down, please sit down and talk! Come on, come on, sit here! I've always heard Qing Zhe mention you, and he said that you are the most powerful, kindest, and most benevolent priest of the Beast Tribe! Thank you so much today, willing to come over and help me, alas~ To be honest, I've been so worried lately that I can't eat or sleep......"
Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.
The old priest had just seen Ji Mo's appearance clearly, and he was quickly attracted by the other party's obviously bulging belly, as a priest's habit, of course he would not push and scold a female who had given birth to cubs.
What's more, Ji Mo is a natural self-acquaintance character, talking and laughing, thanking and sighing, he sent the old priest back to the fire pond and sat down, then went to pour hot water and handed it over, continued to hold the other party's hand and began to shush the cold and ask for warmth.
Ao Yang and Qing Zhe breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
They have also discovered a long time ago, and sometimes they are in a particularly embarrassing situation, and they can ask Ji Mo to reveal it in a few words.
The old priest was pressed to sit down, and several times tried to stand up and attack the evil dragon and Qingzhe again, but he couldn't succeed, because the female sitting next to him was so enthusiastic and cheerful that she suppressed the anger he had accumulated little by little.
ββ¦β¦ It's snowing outside again today? Oops, it's freezing enough! You don't have much to wear, Priestess, so I'll go in and get you a coat and wait for me." After Ji Mo greeted him for a long time, he felt a chill all over his body when he was only wearing a single coat, he naturally touched the thin animal skin jacket on the old priest's body, and stood up with a little difficulty to get his clothes.
"When you get up, you can't bend down and bow your head, you have to hold your back and raise your upper body slightly, which will be more comfortable, and the movements should be slow, and the cubs can't help but make big movements." Habitual, although his face was still not good-looking, the tower had naturally pointed out Ji Mo's unreasonable every move.
Ji Mo smiled gratefully, stood up according to his words, and said wistfully: "Thank you, alas~ My home is far away from here, and this is the first child again...... Alas~ If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, my partner wouldn't have rashly invited you over......"
"That blue-eyed orc is your mate? Hmph~ He's not as polite as you say, I wasn't invited! The old priest said angrily.
"Uh~" Ji Mo touched his nose in embarrassment, and said cautiously: "If you mean that silver-haired and blue-eyed orc, it is indeed my partner, his name is Ao Bai." Ahem~ Ao Bai is young and ignorant, if there is any rudeness, I will apologize to you for him first, I'm really sorry. But don't worry, when he comes back, I will definitely talk about him and let him apologize to you personally! "Ji Mo generously made a righteous awe-inspiring (righteous annihilation) form, and promised very strictly.
It's a pity that the half-open door poured in a cold wind with snow, which was so cold that the fish shivered, and the upright eyebrows and eyes were screwed up.
The old priest saw this qiΔ in his eyes, of course he also knew that the young female in front of him was playing tricks, but he couldn't stand being old, and he actually preferred this sweet, well-behaved, respectful and smiling set, and stood tall with his hands, since Ji Mo gave himself enough face, he couldn't force his anger anymore.
"Alright, you go in and get dressed, I really can't see the female who gives birth to the cubs suffer, and you will be considered to have won." Ta said angrily.
Ji Mole said hehehe: "What doesn't win or not, it's all because of your kindness and kindness, Qingzhe he respects you very much, I heard that more than half of the cubs of the beast tribe are delivered by the priests of the tower, it is really rare, I especially admire ......"
Who doesn't like to hear others praise themselves? The vast majority of people like it.
So, the old priest's face tensed and tensed, cold and cold, but at last he relented, and looked at the crossing fish with a smile.
"Hey, hey, hey......" Ji Mo smiled innocently, looking extremely adoring and admiring.
Qing Zhe was by his side, and he was also impressed by Ji Mo's eccentric character.
"This mermaid, it's really ......," Ao Yang crossed his arms and whispered with a smile.
At this time, Ji Mo had already gone in to get dressed, and Qing Zhe looked at the time and began to prepare lunch.
After hearing Ao Yang's words, Ta was stunned for a long time, quietly patted Qing Zhe's shoulder, took off his chin and nodded to the bedroom next to him, frowned and asked, "He, is he a mermaid?" Merfolk in the ocean? The kind of mermaid of the same race as the dragon? β
Qing Zhe smiled cautiously, looked at the other party's expression and replied, "Yes, his name is Ji Mo, and he is indeed a mermaid." β
This can't be hidden, the priest is invited to come over to help deliver the baby, how to hide the different races?
The old priest's face immediately sank.
Without waiting for the other party to ask again, Qing Zhe simply finished introducing it in one breath: "Ji Mo's partner is the orc Ao Bai you saw just now, he, he is also a dragon." β
"What? He's also a dragon? Tower's expression was even more shocked, and the wariness and hostility towards the Sea Clan, which had been stirred up by Ji Mo's gag just now, rose again, and he said bitterly: "Qingzhe, why are you mixed with so many foreign races? How dangerous, the evil dragon is angry, but the six relatives don't recognize it! β
At this time, Ao Yang had already gone out to look out again, and he was worried about Ao Bai and the others who had not yet returned.
"Tower Priest, they're not what you think, and the Sea Clan isn't necessarily all bad." Qingzhe mustered up his courage and whispered his opinion.
"You're so confused!" Ta lowered his voice and scolded, "How long ago did the hatred between us and the Sea Clan exist? Isn't it enough for the dragon to imprison your cubs and hold you hostage? In fact, the warriors of our tribe have been trying to find a way to slay the dragon, but for the sake of the stability of the tribe, they didn't tell the clansmen, do you know how many warriors in our tribe died in the claws of the evil dragon? β
The dragon-slaying had been a secret from the Beast Tribe, but the priests must have known about it in the first place, as wounded orcs would need to be treated by them.
Qing Zhe was once again struck down by the brutal facts, and once again unable to defend himself. can only say: "I know that Ao Yang has had many conflicts with the warriors who came to slay the dragon, and there were casualties on both sides, but Ao Yang's character is already very clear, he will never hurt any land orcs for no reason, Ao Yang is really not as ferocious and brutal as the legend-"
"Shut up!" Ta quickly interrupted, "Qingzhe, I don't know what happened between you, and I don't want to know!" I just want to ask you: Are you with the dragon trying to abandon your tribe, your relatives and friends? β
"I ......" Qingzhe turned his head in pain, his mouth opened and opened, and he was really speechless now.
"Didn't you ever think about running away from here and going home? Don't you want your mother and father and your beast father? Ta asked again bitterly.
"That's impossible, I will always be the child of my mother and father, no matter where I am or who I live with!" Qing Zhe quickly turned around and said nervously and loudly.
Fortunately, Ji Mo walked out again, and he really put a thick coat on his arm.
"Come, Priest of the Tower, put on your clothes, it's sleet again, and it's gloomy and scary."
"Mermaid, you don't have to be in a hurry to please me, I haven't decided whether to help the Sea Clan female give birth to cubs." Tower said bluntly, he didn't reach for the coat.
After being sad for a while, Ji Mo stubbornly stuffed his coat into the other party's arms and said open-mindedly: "Well, I know, don't worry, we won't force you." Relax, let's just come here to visit Qingzhe, aren't you of the same race? Leave me alone, just treat me as a pawn. β
To say that the crossing fish really doesn't care, it must be impossible, but at the moment it is obvious that it can no longer be pressed step by step, and it is more appropriate to retreat as advance.
Sure enough, when Ta heard Ji Mo say this, and then looked at the mermaid in front of him who was obviously lonely and sad, but barely smiling, he couldn't bear to say anything more to emphasize the hostile positions of the two sides.
"You, what about your own priests?" Tower asked awkwardly.
Ji Mo said helplessly: "They are all at home, far away from here." β
"Then didn't the elders of your family prepare it for you? It stands to reason that females who give birth to their cubs deserve more care. Ta Wei said dissatisfied.
"Although the elders are far away, Ao Bai cares about me very much." Ji Mo really smiled with satisfaction at the mention of this, "He has never been more nervous than me, because there are no priests here, so he went to invite you over...... Alas~ I can't blame him, I blame it. β
The old priest was even more dissatisfied, and asked puzzledly, "Blame you?" What do you blame? "Shouldn't an orc take care of his mate and unborn cub with care? How can that kind of ruthless and cold-blooded orc be worthy of being a beast father!
Ji Mo sighed, and habitually played with the fluff on the cloak in his hand, "Ao Bai has done a good job, and he really blames me, because there is no priest around, I am afraid that the child will not be born smoothly, and sometimes I can't even sleep when I think about it...... Ao Bai is here because you see me like this. β
Qing Zhe saw that the atmosphere was suitable, and couldn't help but help persuade again: "Yes, Priest Tower, although Ao Bai and Ji Mo are from the Sea Clan, their temperament is not bad, otherwise where can I and Xitu live so freely?" I guess I'm tormented. This is Ji Mo's first cub, and it's normal to be worried and scared, he was uncomfortable several times before this, but there is no priest here, and we don't know how to help him, alas~"
As a priest, Ta couldn't help but ask, "Uncomfortable?" How uncomfortable? How did it get out of here? β
"Oh, I was taken by the Hawkman once." Ji Mo explained: "At that time, I was tortured a little, and my stomach hurt for a while, which really scared me to death, but after going home and resting for a few days, I was fine, and I actually got better!" Hahaha~"
Faced with the mermaid's heart, the old priest was quite displeased, "Eagle man? Last time, Qing Zhe was also scratched by the eagle man, and he lied to us that we were injured by the evil dragon! Ji Mo: Right? Did you bleed then? β
Facing the doctor's inquiry, Ji Mo was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Uh~ I was busy running for my life at the time, and I was in the water, so I just felt very uncomfortable, and I even thought that the child couldn't be saved, and I didn't know if it was bleeding or not...... But I can be sure that there will be no bloodshed when I get home safely! β
"YouβYou're confused too." After struggling for a long time, the tower could only give such a conclusion.
Ji Mo shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment and accepted such an evaluation.
The atmosphere is slowly getting better again, the meat and bones in the soup pot are tumbling, the meat on the grill is sizzling, and the room is filled with the aroma of food, which is the best way to cure bad feelings.
Suddenly, Xitu's happy voice came from outside: "We're back!" β
Then came Ao Yang's voice: "Why is it so slow? Got into any trouble? β
Then the door was pushed open, and a biting cold wind poured in, which made everyone in the room shrink for a moment, and when they opened their eyes again, they saw Ao Bai walking in front with the little tiger cub in his arms, followed by Ao Yang and Rong Tuo, and a few tall orcs walked in and filled the living room.
Qing Zhe first asked, "What's wrong with Xitu?" His legs? β
"Are you hurt? How's it hurting? Ji Mo also asked with concern.
Ao Yang closed the door tightly, and Rong Tuo stood straight under his nose, very nervous, until he found that the eldest prince was not dissatisfied with his arrival, and relaxed a little, quietly found a wooden pier in the corner, imitated to sit down, and looked at the inside of the wooden house very curiously-when they came with Junny before, they were all in awe of the eldest prince's rules, and did not dare to approach this wooden house.
"When I was playing in the snow, I jumped down and accidentally fell on a rock, oops, I couldn't see the stone at all, and I found out when I fell down." Xitu took the initiative to explain.
Qing Zhe took his cub in distress and carefully examined his legs.
"Hello Tower Priest, I haven't seen you in a long time." Cetu greeted the tower obediently again.
"Qingzhe, come and show me." The old priest beckoned lovingly, and he always loved the young of his tribe very muchβas for the strange orc who followed in, he simply did not look at it, out of sight and out of mind.
Ao Bai glanced at Rong Tuo intentionally or unintentionally, and looked away from the latter, Rong Tuo was particularly worried that this cub would go back on his word.
"It's still smooth, right?" Ji Mo asked quietly.
"Well, it's quite smooth, are you feeling okay today?" Ao Bai sat beside his partner, helped him wrap his cloak more tightly, and asked worriedly.
"It's good, this kid is really well-behaved, he never makes much trouble, he should be very obedient in the future, right?" Ji Mo said wistfully.
Ao Bai couldn't help but laugh too, and hugged Ji Mo, "As long as I can be born smoothly, I like it whether I listen to it or not, and if I am disobedient, I can slowly teach it to be obedient." β
Although the old priest was treating Xitu's wounds, his eyes also glanced at the way the little white dragon husband got along from time to time, and he was judging.
"Do you have a clean strip of cloth?" Tower asked.
Before Qing Zhe could answer, Ao Bai, who had been paying attention to the priest, ran over first and said:
"Yes! I'll help get it! After saying that, he turned around and entered the bedroom, and then heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets inside.
Ji Mo smiled and laughed with emotion, for the clumsy flattery and intentions of the little white dragon.
Rong Tuo was originally cowering in the corner, but after seeing that he was not noticed, he couldn't help but move forward with the wooden pier, targeting the fish, shrimp and meat that were being grilled.
- Huh? Is this the cooked food that land orcs like to eat? It smells pretty good.
As a cub, it is impossible for Xitu to return to his mother and father without being spoiled, and just as he is enjoying the care of his mother and father and the priest, he turns his head and sees Rong Tuo who is putting his hand into the soup pot.
"Hey~ The soup is boiling very hot, don't you want claws?" Chitu loudly dissuaded.
After this voice, everyone looked at Rong Tuo.
βοΌβ
Rong Tuo pretended to naturally withdraw his fingers, and said stiffly: "Our dragon clan is not afraid of being hot!" β
The action of the tower bandaging the wound stopped again, his eyes widened, and he couldn't bear to ask Qing Zhe: "That orc is also a dragon?" How many dragons are there here? Am I still on the Sicilian mainland? β
