"See, Xitu." Ao Yang led the little tiger cub to the lake, stretched out his hand and pointed to the vast and wide holy lake, and said: "When the father is old, this place will be guarded by you and your brothers, but you are the eldest brother, and you will be tired after all." ”

"Hmm." Xitu stood up straight, looking at the rippling surface of the lake and the cool and pleasant wind, his thoughts gradually calmed down, and he said solemnly: "I know that the Father, the Holy Lake is our home, and I will try to keep it!" ”

"You have to keep in mind that the Sacred Lake is independent, independent of the terrestrial orc tribes and the major sea tribes, if you can—" As Ao Yang was concentrating on whispering his teaching, Hei Ting, who was busy picking fruit on the other side, shouted:

"Xitu! Seetu! Can you eat this fruit? It smells pretty good, so it shouldn't be poisonous, right? Hei Ting raised a dark purple fist-sized wild fruit and waved it, sniffing curiously and gesturing to take a bite.

"Can't eat it!" Xitu was startled and anxiously shouted to stop, "Poisonous! ”

Ao Yang shook his head and smiled, urging: "Forget it, these truths will be told to you slowly in the future, go and watch them, don't poison a few dragons." ”

Xitu nodded, ran over with his legs, and shouted, "Oh, there are a lot of fruits that are poisonous, you can't pick them casually!" ”

Ji Mo was also startled by the little tiger cub's warning sound, and he hurriedly ran over to the bushes and called back those overexcited dragons.

So, for the whole day he was very busy, because he wanted to teach the Sicilian guardian dragons how to dry the preserved fruit, because there was not enough space, they had to wash the boulders on the shore of the lake, and dry the cut and pickled fresh fruit on them.

In the evening, Qingzhe sat on the terrace to breathe the wind, and he smiled and sighed:

"Ji Mo, your dragon is really interesting."

Glancing at the pile of stones on the shore of the lake not far away, and the group of companions who were jumping up and down and tossing fruits, Ji Mo couldn't help but smile: "Right? They are all very simple dragons. This time they came to the Holy Lake, and the dragons at home rushed to follow, but they also had something to do at home, so they had to go ashore in batches to visit and play. ”

At this moment, the little wooden boat slowly came to the bottom of the terrace, and the little dragon was playing in the cabin, and he was pushing and rocking the oars with great difficulty, and shouted anxiously: "Yaaaaa I'm going to hit Uncle Rong again, wake up soon! ”

"Oh, it's okay, I can't bump into it." Rong Tuo lay lazily on his back in the cabin, soaked in the water below his knees, because he was too tall, Rong Tuo took a nap with his arms on his pillow, and after hearing the call of the little dragon, he slowly opened his eyes, and a second before the boat was about to hit the terrace, he raised his leg and kicked the terrace pillar hard.

Then the little wooden boat retreated without danger, and after a dangerous shaking, the boat continued to spin around the lake without a head.

"Dad, look at me." The little dragon sighed, he controlled the oars decently, looked up and shouted happily, "Daddy, I'm rowing"

Ji Mo was quite applauded, he walked to the railing and praised vigorously: "Not bad! Yi'er is really capable, and she can row a boat! ”

Xiaolong was praised and was in a good mood, he squinted his eyes, laughed, slapped his paws with great ambition, and said, "Dad, I'm going to take Uncle Rong and row to find my brother, you, you wait for me here, is it okay?" ”

From the wooden house to the stone pile on the side of the lake, the water surface distance is quite long.

After Ji Mo raised his head and measured the distance, he bowed his head happily, "Of course you can, you can go, Dad is here waiting for you to come back." ”

"Then I'm going to row away, goodbye Dad~" Xiaolong greeted his parents sensibly before preparing to leave.

"Okay, goodbye Yi'er." Ji Mo smiled and waved his hand, returned to Qingzhe and sat down, and the two continued to chat.

Under the terrace, Ao Yi's whole dragon was lying on the oars, his expression was very serious, trying to recall the rowing skills taught by Xitu, and the little dragon claws together, pushing and pulling hard, and the target was the pile of stones in front.

"Hey~ah!" The dragon tried to eat the fish, but the wooden boat still spun in place.

Rong Tuo didn't move at all, just lay down and napped.

"Hey~~!" The little dragon tried again and hung firmly on the oars.

However, although the wooden boat moved, it crashed into the terrace again.

Xiaolong immediately patted Rong Tuo's arm and reminded nervously: "Uncle Rong, again, it's going to hit again!" ”

"Oh?" Rong Tuo opened his eyes without care, raised his foot and kicked hard again, and said, "Okay, little prince, you can continue rowing, it's so comfortable to lie here and sleep, no wonder that little cub stays on the boat every day." ”

Ji Mo chatted on it for a while, and always heard that the child who had already said that he was going to row a boat to play on the opposite side was still talking below, so he walked to the railing again in curiosity, looked at it quietly for a while, and then couldn't help laughing and enduring a stomachache.

"Ahem~" Ji Mo coughed deliberately.

Xiaolong raised his head in a hurry, helplessly spread his claws, and asked in distress: "Dad, why doesn't this boat move?" ”

"Hmm...... Why don't you go into the water and push the boat? If the rowing boat doesn't move, the pusher boat should always move, right? Ji Mo made a serious suggestion.

The little dragon sharpened his claws, thought seriously, then nodded, turned over decisively and jumped into the lake, and began to push the boat hard "hey~hey~".

Not to mention, pushing and pushing, the small wooden boat really moved, moving forward slowly.

In this way, Rong Tuo had to open his eyes, look up at Ji Mo above, and said weakly: "You are really good, tease the little prince like this!" Is it ignorant to bully him? ”

"Hahaha~" Ji Mo laughed heartily and said awe-inspiringly: "How can this be called bullying?" Isn't it good to let Yi'er practice strength? He's also a dragon, but he can't just be a little prince. It's okay, just let him push! ”

Rong Tuo pursed his lips and turned into the water from the cabin, but he listened to Ji Mo's explanation and didn't intervene to help, just accompanied him and encouraged Xiaolong to insist on pushing the boat.

Qing Zhe carefully watched the whole process, and he said, "Ji Mo, you taught Yi'er so well. When I first heard them all called Little Prince Yi'er, to be honest, I was a little worried that I would raise the child, raise it-"

"Arrogance? Proud? Throw one’s weight around? Defiant? Ji Mo smiled and continued, guessing one by one.

Qing Zhe was shocked at this time, he immediately became cramped, and smiled awkwardly and wanted to explain, but Ji Mo waved his hand and said indifferently:

"It's okay, I still don't know you? I know you really care about Yi'er. ”

Qing Zhe hurriedly nodded and said honestly: "Hey, I, I'm just blindly worried." ”

Ji Mo smiled and took the initiative to explain: "Actually, Ao Bai and I are very strict with Yi'er, especially Ao Bai, because you also know that the Sicilian Sea Dragon Clan has a shallow foundation and has just been established...... Therefore, it is impossible for us to raise Yi'er to be arrogant and arrogant, no matter how much we love him, we will not spoil him. ”

Qing Zhe nodded appreciatively, then lowered his voice and asked, "Then, do you think that your eldest brother dotes on Xitu?" Alas, every time I train Xitu, your eldest brother stops me. ”

"Hey, Xitu and Ao Yi are different, Xitu is so old and sensible enough, you just talk to him, you don't need to be trained!"

*****

Ji Mo and the others have been away from home for two days, and Xiaolong is very happy during the day, but when he returns to his home at the bottom of the lake at night, the little guy looks at the empty bedroom and subconsciously asks: "Dad, is there no father?" ”

"Well, your father is at home, have you forgotten?" Ji Mo said gently.

Xiaolong is very unaccustomed to it, because in his memory, Ao Bai is an absolutely powerful and reliable existence, always sleeping on the outermost when resting, and when they live together, Xiaolong still doesn't feel anything, but now that they are separated, he can't help but scan the doors and windows - this is the nature of the dragon clan, instinctive vigilance against the external environment.

"So, what is my father doing?" Xiaolong insisted on sleeping on the outside, although he couldn't tell why he insisted on it.

Ji Mo thought for a while and guessed: "If it's okay, he should also be ready to rest." ”

Xiaolong blinked, and suddenly felt that the bedroom was too quiet, which he had never felt before, he became inexplicably unhappy, frowning and crying sadly: "Dad, I, I-"

This kid should be thinking about Ao Bai.

Ji Mo hugged Xiaolong, gently stroked his back, and comforted: "Sleep, when you're done, Dad will take you home - where is our house?" ”

"Sicilian Sea!" Xiaolong blurted out.

Ji Mo kissed Xiaolong's forehead and boasted, "Very good, right answer!" Go to sleep, wake up and play. ”

*****

Fortunately, everything went well, and when Ji Mo went to the wooden house the next morning, a group of land orcs had gathered on the shore of the lake.

"Ji Mo, hurry up!" The tower priest waved from the terrace, his voice loud and eager.

"What's wrong, Tower Priest?" Ji Mo asked, Xiaolong was lying on his shoulder, looking around to find Xitu.

"I didn't sleep all night last night, studying the herbs you gave, but I can't know if I don't try them. So, bring some more, I'll have to decoction the medicine, let them drink it." The old priest explained in a hurry.

Rong Tuo couldn't help but ask: "Let them drink directly?" What if something happens? ”

The old priest glared at Rong Tuo fiercely, and said angrily: "Don't say such unlucky words!" I've already drunk that medicinal soup first, aren't I standing properly now? Well? ”

- At this time, what else can I do but be a dead horse and a live horse doctor?

Rong Tuo also glared at him, thinking to himself that I kindly reminded you that you still have an opinion on me?? But Ji Mo quietly waved his hand, signaling that he should not be like the old man, and Rong Tuo had to snort angrily and turn his head to look elsewhere.

*****

"Have they all settled down?" Ji Mo went back and asked after taking the herbs.

"Well, they all live in the cabin opposite." The old priest quickly dispensed and cut the medicine with his hands and feet, and Ji Mo helped to make a fire and boil the medicine.

"Have you been there?" Ji Mo asked again, "How long have they been asleep?" ”

"I just came back from reading it, and I was drowsy at first, but in the last five or six days, I have become sleepy! Alas, it dragged on for so long! Alas, it's true in the tribe, how good it would be to send it early? I have to put it off until now! The old priest poured out bitter water without complaint, and said half-truthfully:

"Oh, if I can't save them, I won't have the face to go back to the tribe, I guess I'll have to hide in the holy lake."

Ji Mo smiled and was busy, but did not answer.

The old priest couldn't help himself, he elbowed Ji Mo, leaned closer and whispered:

"Hey, tell me about it, if Ao Yang really can't go back to the tribe, will he be willing to take me in?" 166 Reading Network
