"What? Catch a thief? Rong Tuo repeated in astonishment, and then his excitement exploded all of a sudden, and with irrepressible surprise, he asked with gusting hands: "Where?" Where is the thief? My god of the sea, who would dare to steal here? ”

Kurosu also pricked up his ears and listened nervously, his heart uncertain.

"Wait!" Ji Mo thought for a moment and raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.

"What's wrong?" Ao Bai asked, while he strengthened the protection of the water curtain outside the house, he also had to appease Ao Yi, who came forward to make trouble curiously.

Ji Mo pinched his eyebrows, maintained the posture of raising his hand, and said carefully: "Ao Bai, don't show up first, let Rong Tuo take Heizhou over to have a look." ”

"Why?" Rong Tuo asked puzzled.

After Ji Mo clarified his thoughts, he quickly explained: "Ao Bai is the Dragon King of the Sea after all, if he comes forward from the beginning, he must have some scruples about the identity of the Dragon King-oh, the premise of what I say is that we know the thief dragon." Let Rong Tuo and Hei Zhou hide and guard in the past, see who moved the package in the past, and then act at the opportunity. ”

Then, the crossing fish turned his head to look at his partner again, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you want to find an excuse to let the West Sea Dragon Clan leave tomorrow?" Now there is a perfect reason, no dragon king wants to let the thief dragon stay in the sealed sea. ”

Ao Bai looked at his partner appreciatively, nodded and said, "You have a point, if I pass, I can't guarantee that they won't use Ao Ji's name to suppress me." ”

After Rong Tuo and Hei Zhou listened quietly, Qinglong asked, "Then what should we do now?" ”

"I'll take you on a detour, and I'll explain it to you slowly along the way." Ao Bai chuckled and said, he quickly grabbed the little dragon swimming beside him, sent it to Ji Mo, and admonished:

"Ji Mo, don't go over first, I don't know what the trouble will be later, don't come out if I don't come back, if Ao Yi is disobedient, despite the lesson, don't be reluctant, the young dragon's muscles and bones are also quite strong."

"Leave it to me." Ji Mo simply took Xiaolong and instructed repeatedly: "The three of you must cooperate well, if there is no theft, then forget it; If someone is really caught on the spot, don't make too much trouble at once, it is important to find out their motive first. ”

Ao Bai nodded, and then moved Ji Mo and Youlong into the door. Thinking that there should be a fight after a while, there was no dragon left behind, so Ao Bai let Rong Tuo swim into the stone house next door, picked up the old turtle that was napping, and sent it into his living room.

Then, Ao Bai took Rong Tuo and Heizhou to take a detour to the reef just now.

"Hey~ must control your feelings!" Ji Mo reminded for the last time, "Remember, even if you catch a thief, you can't kill him all at once, Ao Ji's qi is very average, and Sicily should not make enemies with him for the time being." ”

Ao Bai turned around again: "Got it, don't worry, I'm measured, you go in quickly." ”

Ji Mo hugged the little dragon tightly, watching the backs of the three dragons leave until they disappeared completely.

Crossing the fish not without concern thought:

――Wow~ This time, I went to two transformation dragons. Ao Bai should be able to contain his strength, so he was worried about Rong Tuo, the green dragon was used to being ruthless when fighting, and after eating the dragon fruit, his strength was not what it used to be...... In short, I hope they will get something out of their trip!

“…… Hey? The little dragon was stunned for a moment, and struggled in bewilderment, this little guy would actually imitate his father's puzzled syllable "Huh".

Ji Mo closed the door and lowered the latch to prevent a child from slipping out without paying attention.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Ji Mo smiled and teased Xiaolong, he slowly swam inside, and saw the old turtle that was carried over and was still sleeping soundly in the middle of the living room, it was simply breathtaking.

The little dragon writhed, wanting to be free, "Huh? Hey? He was amused, and happily repeated the doubtful syllable a few times.

Ji Mole couldn't help laughing, and took Ao Yi back to the bedroom, "Hahaha~~ What a stupid boy!" Dad is asking you "Huh" something. ”

“…… Yikes~! Xiaolong mistakenly thought that his father was playing a game with him, and he danced happily, screaming and laughing.

Ji Mo sighed contentedly: "Hey~ What a stupid boy!" Yi'er, why are you so cute? Come, call "Daddy" to listen? ”

The crossing fish returned his hand and closed the door again, and it was true that after Ao Yi couldn't slip out, he dared to let go and let him swim freely.

"Good boy~ call dad to listen, okay?" Ji Mo bent down and lowered his head, coaxing him very expectantly.

It's a pity that Ao Yi can't understand his father's teachings at this age, and as soon as he is let go, he immediately swims to the toy table and plays with the piles of colorful shells and conchs.

"Alas~ you kid!" Ji Mo straightened up a little disappointed, and stood uneasily at the fist-sized water hole and looked out, remembering Ao Bai and them who went to solve the trouble.

This is a long and anxious afternoon.

Ji Mo swam back and forth indoors until Xiaolong no longer wanted to stay in the house playing with shells and making noise about going out.

"Okay, Yi'er, come, come to Dad." Ji Mo cheered up and beckoned.

The little dragon swam to the door, and persistently stretched out his claws to try to pull up the latch and open the door to go out, but he couldn't do this action, so he simply banged on the door in a hurry.

"Ao Yi! What are you doing? Ji Mo hurriedly swam over, stabilized him and reprimanded softly: "Wait, what are you doing banging on the door?" It's a little young, but it's a big temper. ”

“…… Hey? Ao Yi looked at his father's face, a little restrained, but still stared at the direction of the door, a pair of clear and bright big eyes, pleading at Ji Mo.

"Hey~ It's really yours, come here again." Ji Mo smiled helplessly, stretched out his finger and gently flicked Ao Yang's head.

At this time, the old turtle guard, who was sleeping soundly outside, finally woke up from sleep (hunger), and he said in amazement:

"Huh? How did I end up here? This isn't my home. ”

Ji Mo listened, and hurriedly hugged Xiaolong to open the door and swim out, "It was Ao Bai who asked Rong Tuo to invite you over, there may be some accidents today, we are worried that you will be attacked if you stay at home alone." ”

Hu slowly stretched his body and asked suspiciously, "Accident?" What happened? "Maybe it's because the brain has just been well-rested, and Lao Hai □□ grasped the point of the conversation so quickly.

Also because of the sobriety of the guard and the back of the turtle when swimming, the little dragon was slowly diverted: he didn't want to go out, but wanted to play with the turtle.

Ji Mo listened to the movements around him, thought about it, and finally loosened his restraints on Ao Yi.

"Oh, it's not a big deal." Ji Mo explained in a low voice, "It was when we went out today, we found that we were being followed by a strange dragon clan behind, and Ao Bai took Rong Tuo Heizhou out to investigate. ”

While patiently playing with Ao Yi, Hu asked, "Heizhou? What's that? ”

Stuff?

"Uh~" Ji Mo wanted to laugh all of a sudden, and quickly explained: "Heizhou is not a thing...... Well? Wrong! Black Island is the East ...... Hey? Still not right! Heizhou is a dragon, he just joined the Sicilian Sea today, and he will bring all his family with him in the future. ”

Tsk tsk ~ is it something? Not something? Isn't it something? It's all swearing......

Hu lowered his head, and after thinking for a long time, he raised his head and spoke again, and what he said this time surprised Ji Mo even more:

"Strange dragons stalking you? Listening to your tone, you should already know who it is, right? Alas~ The dragons of the West Sea have been delayed for a long time, and they don't know what An's heart is. However, who made Ao Bai still a dragon king who was not well-known? Even if they follow you, you have to be patient if you don't have a good reason. ”

"......" Ji Mo is very difficult to accept such a sober and serious uncle.

Hu also said: "Although this sea is very deserted and remote, and there are not many sea tribes, Ao Bai is still a diligent dragon king. Hmm~ You have to be careful, it's not easy to keep the sea sealed. ”

Ji Mo couldn't help but swim to the guard, observed his expression, and said cautiously: "I know, thank you for the reminder...... Hey~ Are you in a good mood today? ”

Actually, all of a sudden, they used the same frequency of brain waves as us.

Ao Yi is lying on the back of the turtle, an old and a young swim together undulating and rippling, as comfortable as you want, for the inquiry of the crossing fish, the guard dropped the line again.

"Hmm~" Ji Mo didn't give up, followed up and asked again, "Then, do you have any plans for the current Sicilian Sea?" ”

After a while, the protector replied slowly: "No, I don't have anything to build." This is a matter for you young sea clans, I don't understand. ”

Ji Mo touched his nose, looked at the roof, sighed, and then retreated to the door and said, "Yes, we will find a way." ”

The merfolk patiently watched the little dragon and the turtle interact with each other for a long time, until the sun was gradually setting outside and twilight began to envelop Sicily, and they were all hungry.

Especially Ao Yi, who was already well-behaved and energetic enough today, was stuffed at home all afternoon, which was an extremely rare situation.

"Ao Bai, why haven't they come back yet?" Hu asked worriedly.

Ji Mo looked out of the wooden lattice window from time to time, the same nervousness, and couldn't hide his anxiety and said, "I don't know, they have been on the road for a long time." ”

Of course, it is definitely impossible for the fight to last so long, Ao Bai and Rong Tuo together are already a rare strong alliance in the ocean, not to mention Heizhou; It may be that it took a long time to wait for the dragon with a heart.

"Something can't happen, right?" Hu Zhiyan guessed. He knew the strength of Ao Bai and Rong Tuo, but he was not sure what kind of position such strength would be in the ocean today.

Ji Mo's face turned pale, and he hurriedly retorted: "No!" Ao Bai took Rong Tuo and Heizhou, together with the three dragons, Ao Bai is the most familiar with this area, and there will be no accidents. ”

"Oh, that's good." Hu waved his limbs, swam to Ji Mo's side, and also looked up, "It shouldn't be difficult to catch a thief, but the difficult thing is how to deal with him, if you theorize, it will take time." ”

Xiaolong also followed the example of his elders, lying on the edge of the pane sadly and looking out, but he has grown up a lot now, and the fist-sized pane can't get out of it anyway.

"Roar......" Ao Yi said wistfully.

Ji Mo looked at it, felt funny when he heard it, touched the young dragon's head, and said, "What are you sighing for?" Are you hungry? ”

Xiaolong's eyes lit up, and he immediately expressed his meaning with body language: I'm hungry, I'm really hungry!

Hu comforted: "Wait, Grandpa Hu will go out to catch fish for you." With that, he swam to the door.

Ji Mo hurriedly stopped him, "Don't! There is still food at home. ”

The old turtle looked back in confusion, "What to eat?" ”

Ji Mo pushed the door and swam into the small empty room next to him, and after a while, he came out with a few sea fish and shrimp, still alive, temporarily raised in a coarsely woven seaweed cage inside.

Facing the look of the protector in confusion, the mermaid explained a little embarrassed: "...... Ao Bai caught it back yesterday, I didn't care about eating, hahaha~"

After speaking, he quickly beckoned: "Come, you two eat together!" ”

Ji Mo's technique was quite neat and neat, and he roughly handled the fish and shrimp, and handed them to Hu and Xiaolong respectively, "Oh~ Hurry up and eat, don't make any more trouble and want to go out." This was said to Ao Yi.

It wasn't until the sea was completely dark and Ao Yi had fallen asleep that Rong Tuo's voice came from outside.

*****

"Hahaha~~ It's really relieving today, look at how ugly Ao Mu's dragon face is!" Rong Tuo said aloud quite happily.

Then came Ao Bai's voice: "His guard dragon was caught by you, and Ao Mu himself is also weak-hearted, how can he be strong if he can't be straightforward?" It is not surprising that there will be compromises and selfishness. ”

Ji Mo breathed a sigh of relief, quickly opened the door of the house, hugged Xiaolong and escorted him out, and said:

"You're finally back! Why is it so late? We were worried all afternoon. "If it weren't for the crossing fish now that there is Ao Yi and you have to take care of it, it's really anxious to wait.

The little white dragon swam over, he had a faint smell of blood, but his tone was as calm as usual: "After we found a place to hide, we waited for a long time to wait for the guard dragon under Ao Mu's men, he did steal those burdens, and was caught by Rong Tuo and Heizhou." ”

Ji Mo looked at Rong Tuo and Hei Zhou, who had a stronger smell of blood, and asked with concern, "How is it?" You're not hurt, are you? Who came out first with the claws today? ”

"None of us were hurt." Rong Tuo described excitedly, "It's not our claws that came out first, at that time, the guard dragon was scared enough, so he grabbed the burden and went back to find Ao Mu!" Hahaha~~ Ao Mu's expression at that time was really exciting, thanks to his subordinates, they couldn't explain the charge of stealing this time hahaha~"

Hei Zhou also seized the opportunity to add a few words: "Later, a female Jiao jumped out and beat a rake and said that it was our companion who bullied her, and then a few guard dragons rushed over and accidentally started fighting. ”

"How did that work out? What about them? Ji Mo is more concerned about the final ending.

Ao Bai smiled and said: "Ao Mu and they have rushed back to Xihai overnight, although he refuses to admit that he instructed his subordinates to steal our burden in the past, but it is indeed a big shame to lose face, and when I asked them to leave immediately, he didn't dare to say anything." ”

Huh~ finally justifiably "invited" them away, and did not leave any bad reputation for the Sicilian Sea, on the contrary, the group of West Sea Dragons will live in the shadow of "being stolen" from now on - because Ao Mu only quietly ordered one of the most loyal guardian dragons to carry out a "secret mission", so the other dragons were all implicated without knowing it.

Rong Tuo said again: "That white-eyed dragon slipped away so fast, she was bold enough when she provoked trouble, and she hid all of a sudden when she was fighting!" It's really ......."

Although I can't get my paws off when I beat a female, I really hate it in my heart.

Kuroyo whispered comfortingly, "It's okay, I flicked her tail before she escaped." I also have a lot of females in my house, but none of them are as nasty and vicious as the one today. ”

"You've worked hard." Ji Mo said with a smile, "Only by sending Ao Mu and them away as soon as possible can we go to Beihai to pick up Xiaozhou's family members." ”

Hei Zhou raised his head suddenly, looked at the mermaid with excitement, and thanked him vigorously: "Thank you, Queen Long, for being willing to think about my family." When I left, my hiding place had almost been discovered by the guardian dragons of the West Sea several times, and it was only a matter of time before I was driven away, and I was really worried! ”

"I understand your feelings." Ao Bai comforted, "You have all worked hard today, and you have done a very good job!" Heizhou, as long as you feel that your body is okay, you can return to Beihai to pick up Heixiu and them, if necessary, Rong Tuo can accompany you back, and he can protect your safety. ”

Hei Zhou bowed his body deeply, and surrendered willingly, today he saw Ao Bai's powerful combat power, and at this time he had already looked at this new dragon king with new eyes.

“…… It's so weak, you still need me to escort you when you go home? Rong Tuo habitually raised his chin and said with a grin.

Ao Bai cleared his throat, "Okay, as the leader of the Sicilian Guardian Dragon, you should take care of the Jiaolong brothers." ”

Rong Tuo pursed his lips and smiled again, looking at the new Heizhou who was aggrieved and didn't dare to say anything, and the appearance of his neck was unexpectedly stubborn and pitiful, and he couldn't help but feel hahaha again.

"So, can I go back tomorrow?" Hei Zhou discussed in a good voice, "It's the warm season now, the water temperature is rising, grandpa and they are still hiding in the border cracks of several large seas, I am worried that the surrounding guard dragons will expand the range of patrols, in case they are discovered......"

Ji Mo nodded in understanding and looked at Rong Tuo: "You two brothers can discuss this, forgive me for not being able to help you with a mermaid, Ao Bai is the Dragon King, it is best to stay and sit in charge." What do you say? ”

Hei Zhou looked at the one-eyed green dragon with blank eyes, and after a long time, he held back a sentence: "...... Please help me, team leader, my family will be very grateful for your ......"

He also wants to be independent, but it is an indisputable fact that his strength is not strong enough, so what's the use of being stubborn?

In this way, everyone gave Qinglong enough face.

"Ahem~" Rong Tuo's heart was smooth, he cleared his throat, no longer teasing the new little brother, and said heroically and heartily: "Okay, tomorrow will be tomorrow, it just so happens that I haven't been to Beihai either, so it's better to go out and have a look." ”

- He was so crisp, but it surprised Kuroyo.

Ao Bai reminded in time: "Don't be careless, when you go to other sea areas, you must abide by their rules, if you have an accident, you must quickly retreat, find a new way, don't be reckless." ”

Hei Zhou nodded again and again, and his expression was much more respectful to Rong Tuo, no longer standing up with feathers like that aggressive rooster.

"Then you go back and rest early, and I'll send you away tomorrow." Ao Bai urged with a smile.

Ji Mo didn't say much behind him, just smiled.

After watching the backs of the two dragons leaving, Ao Bai also returned to his home with his partner.

*****

After entering the house, while the husband and wife were talking in a low voice, Ao Bai easily picked up the shell conch that Xiaolong had made all over the room and placed it neatly on the table.

After pondering for a long time, Ji Mo still spoke:

"Ao Bai, although Rong Tuo usually looks fierce, you and I both know that he has no heart and eyes, and his temper is still impatient."

"Well, Rong Tuo does his best to do things, and he won't go against the sun." Ao Bai praised, "Otherwise, I would not have done my best to win him into the Sicilian Sea." ”

Crossing the fish reminded: "Tomorrow he will follow Xiao Zhou to the North Sea, hmm...... Frankly, I'm a little worried about him. ”

Human nature, human nature, good and evil, good and evil, it is difficult to explain clearly at once, but people will always subconsciously prefer friends they know.

Under the soft light emitted by the huge silver beads, the little white dragon's expression was very calm and soft, and he said, "I understand what you mean. We all know Rong Tuo's character, although Hei Zhou also knew each other before, he was too young at the time, and we didn't talk to each other much...... After being separated for so long, I don't know what happened to his family, is it just like Heizhou himself said? None of this qiē can be confirmed at this time. ”

Ji Mo sighed: "But then again, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger?" Rong Tuo needs a chance to experience, and of course I hope that what Heizhou said is the truth. It's just that you can't have the heart of harming people, and you can't have the heart of preventing people, Rong Tuo, you still have to mention it again, remember to make it clearer, lest Rong Tuo be wrong. ”

Alas~Alas~Alas~ Crossing the fish's heart suddenly felt that he had changed: Huh? How could I become so defensive?

"Well, I was going to talk to Rong Tuo later." Ao Bai said, he picked up the last chic conch on the ground, placed it neatly on the table, looked back a few times, and smiled with satisfaction.

Ji Mo fell back, lay on his back, and enlightened himself with emotion: "I just thought that I was still a little weak in my heart, but in fact, there was no need at all - didn't I have to have a probationary period when I was looking for a job in the past?" There must be a process of understanding and understanding, and it is even more prudent to be cautious about such an important event as the Sicilian Sea to attract people! ”

The little white dragon also swam to the bed, and after gently adjusting the little dragon's sleeping position, he said in a more calm attitude:

"What's there to think about here? Whether at sea or on land, the lord had the right to make the necessary investigations of the freedmen who came to take refuge, especially in the area of loyalty! Sicily is still weak, but its foundations must be laid from the very beginning. ”

Ji Mo listened quietly, unconsciously playing with his partner's paws.

The little white dragon said, "If what Heizhou said is all true, then it is best that their family can live in peace in the Sicilian Sea from now on; But if Kurosu has ulterior motives, then he can't complain that he will be punished by me, it's as simple as that. ”

Ji Mo smiled and said, "You still have to figure it out." It's not too early, you can go talk to Rong Tuo, and teach our Guardian Dragon Leader more. ”

*****

The home of the one-eyed blue dragon

"Kuroshima! Look at the good things you've done! Rong Tuo shouted angrily, his head was high, his snort was heavy, and he was so angry that he wanted to eat Jiaolong.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Kurosu apologized in annoyance and nervousness, "I really didn't mean to! ”

Rong Tuo flicked his tail, causing a turbulence in the water flow in the room, and he almost made a "crackling" sound, he said distressed and sad:

"You dragon is damned!"
