Xitu, who learned that he was about to have a younger brother, lost his previous cheerful and sunny smile on his face, and was replaced by a faint sadness: he was no longer a cub who didn't know anything, at least he knew that the new brother would be a cub who belonged to Ya Father in the true sense, and he himself was a little orc of the Tiger Clan, a land beast tribe.

Ji Mo has been trying to appease and explain, thinking that this distress should exist in any time and space: if there are two or more children in the family, then parents should pay attention, and they must treat them equally, solve the conflicts between children fairly, justly and openly, and do not favor and spoil them, otherwise there will be no peace.

Xitu's worries are more understandable: this child is precocious, very smart and sensible, and he is afraid that Ao Yang will dislike him after he has a child of his own.

Qingzhe kept his arms around Xitu and promised again and again: "...... Xitu, even if we have a younger brother, it is impossible for us to ignore you, is it in your mind, mother and father are so confused? ”

"No, I'm just a little scared." Xitu whispered, uneasy and frightened.

"What are you afraid of?" Ji Mo relayed and comforted: "Xitu, have you forgotten? At that time, you accidentally broke into the holy lake and were detained by your father, how worried your mother and father were, I heard that your tribe is afraid of the holy lake and the evil dragon, but what did your mother and father do later? ”

Xitu finally smiled slightly, and said happily: "At that time, my father gave me three days to return to the tribe, and my mother and father were very worried about me, so they accompanied me back to the holy lake, and we stayed in the holy lake like that. ”

Qing Zhe also recalled those frightened pasts, remembered the interesting things when he first met Ao Yang, and couldn't help but laugh too.

Fate is such a wonderful thing.

"Xitu, your father is a very responsible Sea Clan orc." Qing Zhe slowly reminded, "In order to keep you from falling behind the little orcs of the same age in the tribe, he seriously asked your Rhea father how to hunt, how to lay traps, how to skin animals, how to make bows and arrows and bone knives, etc., do you think, if he doesn't treat you sincerely, he will learn what to do?" It's been so hard before, is he going to ignore you now because he has an extra cub in the family? That's unreasonable, it's impossible. ”

The little tiger cub nodded in agreement, he felt the attention and love of his elders, and his depressed mood slowly improved. Older children are also children, and they are also afraid of losing the favor of their parents.

"Xitu, isn't it just one more brother? It's not a big deal, anyway, you already have two younger brothers, Ao Yi and Rong Ge, and one more is not bad, so you are four brothers, and it is fun to play any game, right? Ji Mo changed his tone again to comfort the little tiger cub.

Xitu couldn't help but imagine the scene of having three younger brothers - wow~ How majestic I am then, they all have to call me big brother!

Cetu's smile gradually returned, and he mentioned it again:

"If I have a choice, I still want a little dragon brother, so that he can not only swim in the water with my father, catch fish and shrimp, but also accompany me to climb trees and pick fruits in the dense forest, and follow me to hunt!"

Ji Mo laughed, "Sounds so good!" But if Xitu wants his younger brother to be so capable, then you, as an elder brother, have to teach him more, cubs are not born so much, you look at Yi'er and Gege, everything needs to be taught to understand. ”

It's impossible not to accept it, Xitu tries hard to look forward to the future: living in the Holy Lake family, only Xitu is a little orc, it's too lonely, although Qingzhe Ao Yang loves him very much, but little orcs need playmates. When you think about it this way, multiple younger brothers are pretty good.

*****

At this time, Ao Yang strode over and asked with concern from a distance:

"What's wrong with Xitu? He shouldn't be too strict with his cubs, he's been very well-behaved lately, and it's rare to come to the island once, so let him have fun. ”

Ao Yang thought that his partner had caught something wrong with the child, so he deliberately carried himself behind his back and called the child to the corner and reprimanded him.

Qing Zhe hurriedly smiled: "It's not much, I didn't scold him, I don't believe you asked Ji Mo." ”

Ao Yang really looked at Ji Mo, and at the same time rubbed Xitu's head very naturally.

"I—I'm even more unlikely to scold him!" Ji Mo hurriedly explained, "Xitu is so sensible, and he often helps take care of Yi'er, Yi'er calls Brother Xitu with a smile in his sleep, I thank him for being too late." ”

Xitu secretly looked up at Ao Yang, and couldn't help but sadly imagine the scene where Ya's father might give all his favor to his new brother in the future, so he could only look at it with envy and longing......

"Ji Mo, don't you know, your eldest brother is very doting on cubs, he will stop me if I speak louder to Xitu, I can't scold anymore, and it's even more impossible to beat." Qing Zhe revealed with a wry smile.

Ao Yang habitually took Xitu's hand and said seriously: "After all, he is just a cub, and he hasn't made a mistake, why are you so strict with him?" Say it well, and he'll understand, too. ”

"Hetu, did you hear that?" Ji Mo asked with a smile.

"Hear what?" Ao Yang asked suspiciously.

The little tiger cub quietly held Ao Yang's palm with two hands, and remembered that when he was insulted and threatened by a foreign dragon a few days ago, Ya's father taught the other party a hard lesson and sought justice for himself.

"Nothing." Qingzhe said with a relieved smile.

Ao Yang nodded, looked at the sky, and Wen Yan suggested: "It's too hot to stand here, let's go back, sit down and talk slowly." ”

Ji Mo looked at Qing Zhe with inquiring eyes and motioned to listen to you.

"Good! While everyone is here, Ji Mo, you can tell everyone later. Qingzhe asked a little nervously.

Ao Yang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What to tell everyone?" ”

Qingzhe and Ji Mo listened to it and met to discuss their own.

At this time, the little tiger cub tugged at Ao Yang's arm and asked in a low voice, "Father, is it okay for you to carry me over?" ”

Ao Yang looked at the lost and depressed child, smiled, and immediately agreed: "Of course you can, come up!" You were scolded just now, right? Don't be sad, don't take it to heart, males should be strong and generous. ”

The little tiger cub lay on his father's tall and thick back, and couldn't help but think: When the father has his own cub in the future, is he still willing to carry me? Alas, it shouldn't be, the new brother has just been born, so why can't it be my turn to carry me, right? Everyone must be revolving around my brother......

On the other side, "Qingzhe, then I'll announce it later?" Ji Mo asked very cautiously.

"Well, I have to say it sooner or later anyway, let your eldest brother be mentally prepared as soon as possible." Qingzhe said helplessly.

Ji Mo nodded, subconsciously held Qingzhe's arm, raised his head and walked in the direction of the wooden house.

Ao Yang walked in front with Xitu on his back, and the big white dragon kept whispering to comfort the little tiger cub:

"Your mother and father are sometimes anxious, if there is really a mistake, just change it, and there is no need to be sad."

"Wow, got it." Xitu suddenly felt very sad - because he understood everything, he knew that he should be sensible, and he should not roll around and cry and make a fuss, in that case he would be ignorant and would be hated and blamed.

After all, it is a child who reorganizes a family after the divorce of his biological parents, and it is inevitable that he is precocious, and he is more restrained in his emotions when he encounters things, and he is suppressed in his heart.

Ao Yang heard the child's crying response, he stopped, turned his head in surprise and asked, "What did your mother and father say about you?" Well? Did I hit you? ”

"Nope! Didn't hit me! Xitu lay face down, desperately trying to suppress the sudden outbreak of sadness, trembling slightly.

Ao Yang wanted to put Xitu down, ask him, comfort and enlighten him, but Xitu used both hands and feet, and stubbornly, he just refused to come down, and kept shaking his head and denying it.

"What the hell is wrong with Xitu?" Ao Yang turned around, frowned and asked Qingzhe and Ji Mo.

Qing Zhe's mood is very complicated, it is the first time he has experienced this kind of thing, and he has a thousand words to say, but now it is suitable to explain to Xitu that are just a few words. In fact, when Qingzhe decided to form a partner with Ao Yang, he had already thought very far-reaching.

"Big brother, don't worry, there is indeed a big event to announce, let's go over and talk about it." Ji Mo replied on his behalf.

Ao Yang was very confused, and he stood there for a while before continuing to walk at Xitu's urging.

*****

Ji Mo helped Qing Zhe back to the pavilion next to the wooden house and sat down, then stood behind him, thinking hard about the opening remarks.

Fortunately, Ao Bai took the initiative to hand a coconut to his partner and said, "Ji Mo, drink some water." ”

Xiao Bailong looked at his partner sympathetically, thinking that he must have said a lot to Qingzhe just now, and he must be thirsty.

Ji Mo took it and took a few sips without much taste, Xiaolong waved his paws on the opposite side, and shouted in a milky voice: "Dad, me!" I! ”

"Okay, Yi'er is thirsty too, isn't she? You should have said 'I want to drink it too', remember? Ji Mo carefully fed Xiaolong a few sips of coconut water, and taught him to speak by the way.

Ao Bai couldn't help but say, "I wanted to feed him just now, but he didn't drink it himself." ”

"Maybe he wasn't thirsty just now, that's how children are." Ji Mo explained to his partner with a smile, and at the same time, his eyes quietly looked at everyone's expressions.

During this period, Qingzhe had been looking at Ji Mo expectantly.

Ao Yang and Xitu sat next to each other, and Ao Yang was patting him on the shoulder and comforting him in a whisper. Until now, Ao Yang thought that the strict Qingzhe had scolded the child and scolded Xitu sullenly.

Ji Mo finally stood up under the urging of Qing Zhe's eyes.

"Ahem!" Ji Mo cleared his throat and glanced at everyone, indicating that he had something to say.

Ao Bai raised his head first and asked his partner with his eyes.

Rong Tuo slowly stroked the little sea deer, and what he was most proud of was that he raised Rong Gege to be chubby. Hearing Ji Mo's cough, he also looked up curiously.

"Okay Xitu, don't be sad, what do you want to eat at night? Is grilled green back shrimp OK? After many attempts to appease and persuade him to no avail, he could only clumsily use the food meter, hoping to use the food to make Xitu happy.

Ji Mo looked at his eldest brother and coughed heavily.

Ao Yang raised his head and said, "What's wrong?" If you have something to say, I'll listen. ”

At this time, Qing Zhe was still very nervous, his hands on his knees, and he clasped them hard.

Everyone put down what they were doing and looked at Ji Mo curiously.

Xitu lowered his head, also very nervous, he guessed: Later, everyone will know the existence of the new brother, and they will be happy to shout and laugh, right? Especially the father, he must be very happy.

Ji Mo looked at Qing Zhe again, whose eyes were fixed, gritted his heart with his teeth, and said loudly:

"Big brother, Qingzhe is pregnant with your child!"

……

It's cold! Sure enough, it was cold!

Ji Mo blinked, gently pressed Qing Zhe's shoulders, and soothed him with a slight force.

After waiting silently for a moment—

Hey? Why haven't they blown up yet? Isn't this news exciting enough? Or am I not clear enough?

Ji Mo reflected for a moment and said loudly again:

"That's right, what I just said is: Qingzhe is pregnant with the eldest brother's child! Well, it can also be said that Qingzhe is pregnant with the cub of the eldest brother, and I don't know if it is a little tiger or a little dragon. ”

"It's also possible that she's a terrestrial female like me." Qingzhe tried to add with a smile naturally, of course, it was inevitable that he was a little apprehensive and shy, and he looked at Xitu's expression with special attention.

Ji Mo corrected it kindly, and solemnly announced again: "So, the future child of Qingzhe and Big Brother may be a little tiger, a little dragon, or a land female!" ”

……

Waited a few more moments—

Ice? Why is it still cold?

Ji Mo was a little puzzled, he changed his posture, and just as he was about to say something, Ao Bai finally spoke.

"What? Qing Zhe is pregnant with his eldest brother's child? ”

Rong Tuo finally reacted, and finally exploded as Ji Mo expected, he shouted, "Isn't it? Really? You're not kidding, are you? ”

Ao Yang's eyes hadn't moved for a long time, and he looked at Qing Zhe in disbelief, speechless.

Xitu shouted in panic: Woo woo ~ I know! I knew it! They will definitely be taken aback~

Ao Yang subconsciously hugged the frustrated and frustrated little orc, patted him lightly on the shoulder, opened his mouth but still couldn't speak.

The Great White Dragon looked completely frightened.

"Xitu, you, don't be afraid...... Qing Zhe also walked to the little tiger cub's side, and just when he wanted to squat down, Ao Yang quickly raised his hand to support his partner, and then stood up suddenly, carefully let his partner sit on the stone bench, and looked at Qing Zhe's abdomen with wide eyes, ten fingers trembling violently.

Rong Tuo hugged the little sea deer with one hand, bounced up directly from the stone bench, jumped to the stool and stood, waving his arms in disbelief and shouting:

"Isn't it? Ji Mo, did you secretly send him a fruit? Are you really pregnant? Are you sure you're not sure? Oh, it's a pity that there are no priests here, otherwise you can come and check it out right away! ”

In the vigorous jolting and shaking, the little sea deer was still calm and relaxed, and was slowly gnawing Rong Tuo's fingers and grinding his teeth, this Rong Gege had never been in a hurry.

Ji Mo was named, and immediately clarified nervously and loudly: "I didn't send him Heguo!" It's said that the fruit can't be eaten by females, are you confused with me? That's, yes, yes—"

The crossing fish was in a hurry, and it was stuck.

"That's a good thing." Ao Bai took over the conversation intimately.

Ji Mo waved his arm vigorously and said, "That's right! That's a good thing! It has nothing to do with the fruit! ”

"Wow, wow, wow!" Rong Tuo let out a cry of surprise and excitement with unknown meaning.

Uh, I have to say that Rong Tuo's performance is more like a novice father who is surprised that his partner is pregnant with his child, that ecstatic and surprised look, tsk tsk~

"Wow, wow, wow!" Rong Tuo whined a few times, and then immediately said hello to Qingzhe and Ao Yang:

"Congratulations to the two of you, your wish has come true, and you have got what you want—"

Except for the first two words, Ao Bai had been quiet the rest of the time, and he quietly gestured to Rong Tuo to signal him to calm down.

"Uh~" Rong Tuo was stunned for a moment, jumped down from the stool, hugged the little sea deer tightly, and looked at Ao Bai in puzzlement.

Ao Bai motioned to the straightforward, but careless Rong Tuo to look at Xitu.

"Shh~" Ji Mo also quietly pointed at Xitu.

Rong Tuo was simply confused by the second monk, and asked blankly: "What's wrong?" What are you doing? Qingzhe is finally pregnant, isn't that a good thing? ”、

On the other side, Ao Yang was indeed excited and ecstatic, but before he could be happy, he was already frightened by Xitu's tearful eyes and his sad expression.

Ao Yang held Xitu's left hand, and Qingzhe held Xitu's right hand, guarding him from left to right.

"Xitu, you're just sad about this, aren't you?" Ao Yang asked with pity.

Qing Zhe sighed, "Ji Mo and I have already told him first, and we have been chatting for a long time, but I didn't expect——"

Xitu didn't say a word, shook his head again in denial, and tried to pretend that he was emotionally stable. But at his age, he obviously can't be pampered and not frightened, and he is just forbearing.

"Y-Don't you want a brother? Then you two brothers will have company. Ao Yang tried to comfort the little tiger cub, but unfortunately he was not good at words, and he couldn't speak when he was in a hurry, so he was so anxious that he couldn't do it.

Xitu nodded silently, meaning that he would have a younger brother.

"Alas, Xitu—" Qing Zhe sighed sadly, and just as he was about to express his consideration, his sigh sounded so harsh in the ears of the little tiger cub, who was extremely sensitive at this time.

Xitu immediately said in trepidation, "I will like my new brother!" I'll definitely take good care of him! ”

Qing Zhe was stunned, distressed and sad, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Rong Tuo on the side finally understood, and he sneered and comforted:

"Hey~ Xitu, you should be happy, if you add another brother, then you will have three younger brothers, you are still a majestic big brother! How amazing, your friends will envy you! ”

Ao Bai sighed in his heart and said gently: "Big brother, you talk slowly, let's go back first." Rong Tuo, let's go. ”

Ji Mo also felt that his partner's proposal was right, and this should be the time for discussion within their family.

"Okay, okay, then I'll come up again when I'm free." Rong Tuo probably understood the little black cub's mood, and gave him a comforting and encouraging glance before leaving.

"Qingzhe, be careful yourself, I'll come up to see you tomorrow when I'm free." Ji Mo didn't dare to tell too obviously, and reminded: "The herbs and animal skins I brought from the Holy Lake are all in that big tree hole, you know, right?" Get it if you need it. ”

"Thank you, I know, thank you." Qingzhe thanked him repeatedly.

Ji Mo smiled heartily: "Thank you, thank you?" You and I don't have to thank each other. ”

Ao Yang has been staying by Xitu's side, comforting and enlightening the child over and over again. He is a naturally generous and open-minded dragon, otherwise he has wandered for many years and fought with land orcs to the ground, if he didn't have perseverance and principles in his heart, he would have become a Tyrannosaurus rex and a veritable "evil dragon" early in the morning.

*****

Ji Mo and his entourage silently left the island.

"Dad, go up, go up, want your brother." Xiaolong was picked up in a daze and was about to take it home, he was very puzzled, couldn't he play until dark and go home?

Ji Mo coaxed: "Yi'er, let's go home first, and then go up tomorrow to find my brother, there is something going on at your uncle's house." ”

The little dragon swam slower and slower, and secretly looked back at the island, his courage was getting bigger and bigger, and he always wanted to swim out to play alone.

Ao Bai was accustomed to being protected by the palace, and he glanced majestically at the grinding platinum dragon.

"Dad, Father Woo Woo~" Xiaolong didn't dare to be disobedient, and obediently swam to Ji Mo's side, muttering quietly.

Ji Mo said jokingly: "Do you still know about the complaint? Well? Aren't you afraid of being beaten and whined? ”

The little dragon smiled mischievously while holding his tail, and soon became happy again, he swam to Rong Tuo's side, helped push the little sea deer to swim together, and happily sang his own children's rhyme that was out of tune.

Rong Tuo looked at the little sea deer who was extremely entangled with him, sighed sadly, and said:

"If I find a mate and give birth to a baby dragon in the future, will Gege be like Xitu? Heck, I'm sure I'm not going to be partial! Ge Ge was also raised by me with hard work, just like my own child! ”

Yes, the key word that will surely come to mind is "eccentricity".

Ao Bai reminded: "However, you know in your own heart that it's useless, you have to let Gege also know that this is not so easy, and it is not easy for big brother to do." ”

When Rong Tuo heard this, he let out a long sigh again.

*****

Next to the island cabin, a family of three, oh, soon it will be a family of four, Ao Yang is still clumsily comforting Xitu.

“…… No matter how many children you have, I will take care of you equally, trust me! ”

Xitu had already suppressed the sadness and frustration that had exploded in an instant, and tried to smile, repeatedly saying that he was okay.

Qing Zhe's brows were kept locked, and he wanted to speak several times, because what he really wanted to say in his heart was too cruel, and he was worried that it would not be good to tell Xitu now.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, one more brother will have one more brother, it's good." Xitu comforts his parents, but he also comforts himself.

What does it matter? It's okay. Xitu said to himself sadly: "The beast father used to be very kind to me, but he later liked Kari, and Kari would give him new cubs, so the beast father didn't want me and my mother father...... Heck, I don't care about those!

Thinking of this, the little tiger cub pretended not to care and said, "When the time comes, if you are busy taking care of your brother and can't take care of me, then I will go back to the tribe, it's okay." ”

Ao Yang's face changed instantly, his eyes widened, he gasped quickly, and asked in a loud voice with anger: "What did you say?" 166 Reading Network
