"Is that okay? Isn't that okay? I promised to stay and talk to you, why didn't you agree to let my mother and father go? Xitu said angrily.

- You're a true dragon! No wonder you don't even have a partner, only a good dragon like Ao Bai can make the kind and good-looking mermaid female willing to marry him, and your evil dragon will be liked by no mermaid at a glance.

Ao Yang thought about it for a long time before he reluctantly agreed: "Okay, as long as you don't leave, I won't go to your mother and father for trouble, females are hateful, I don't want to deal with them." ”

The little tiger cub snorted angrily and said, "My mother and father are not evil at all, he is the best female in the entire Sicilian continent. ”

"Oh." Ao Yang looked at the little tiger cub with sympathy and pity, and replied perfunctorily, saying that your mother and father may cry for a few days, but after crying, he will plan to give birth to a new child, do you think you are his only one? Amusing.

The little tiger cub saw that it was dark, and cautiously discussed, "Can I go to the shore?" This piece of ice is so cold, I'm a cub, I'm going to get frostbitten. "If I get to the shore, I must find an opportunity to sneak away, and the promise I have to keep with the dragon will definitely agree to me.

How could Ao Yang not know what this little black cub was thinking?

"You can go to the shore. But if you dare to sneak away, I'll catch all the orcs who went into the jungle to hunt, and then I'll say that you killed them. ”

The little tiger cub was obviously pinched, and he thought to himself: this evil dragon will definitely do what he says, and it is impossible for the warriors of the tribe not to go into the dense forest to hunt, otherwise the female and the cub will starve to death, if the evil dragon will be angry with the other tribesmen because I escaped...... What to do?

Before he could figure out a solution, Ao Yang had already sent the little black cub back to the shore of the lake with confidence, and he dived into the bottom of the lake to fish, this time he had really slept for too long, and he was not starved to death - could the sea god still protect my dragon? Impossible, right?

Situ still remained in his beastly form, and he lay down in the warm, withered yellow grass, very sad.

"It's over, Yafu must be in a hurry at this time, and he doesn't know where to find me...... Mother and father must have been in a hurry, he had been sleeping less and less these days, and he had gradually recovered his health, and every day when he went back to the house, he had already roasted meat or stewed broth for me to drink...... But now that there is nothing left, should I have to accompany this evil dragon in the future? ”

When he was sad and sad, Ao Yang had already caught a fish and came out of the lake, and threw two little black cubs, in his opinion, it was equivalent to feeding a pet, since it was a small thing that could talk to him and relieve his boredom, it would definitely not let him starve to death.

Pap ~ Pap ~ The little tiger cub looked up slightly: two plump fish had fallen not far in front of him, still bouncing and bouncing.

"Eat." Ao Yang has eaten enough in the water, and now it is time to feed his pets.

Xitu was still lying on his stomach, looking like he was not in the mood to eat.

"Don't eat fish?" Ao Yang has no experience in getting along with others, so he can only make a guess based on his own survival experience: Don't the cubs of land orcs eat fish?

The little tiger cub suddenly thought of an idea:

"Yes, I'm a cub, I can't eat fish, those fish bones will hurt my throat, my mother and father are stewed broth for me to drink." By the way, can I go home at night and go into the jungle during the day to talk to you? This way, my mother and father don't have to worry about me, and I can continue to secretly take out pearl powder for him to eat.

Ao Yang's long dragon body was coiled on the shore of the lake, and he flicked the little tiger cub with his claws, successfully provoking the other party's unhappy roar: Is it so stupid? Can you get a bite on your throat when you eat fish?

"Okay." Ao Yang quickly came up with a solution.

Xitu's eyes lit up, and the hope in his heart rose again: So, for the sake of me being so difficult to support, is he ready to let me go back to the tribe?

Unbeknownst to him, the dragon in front of him just picked up one of the fish with its two huge front paws and began to ...... awkwardly Remove the bones, make a good end of the fish, and then put the flesh with the bones removed on the forelimbs of the cub that stretches out on its stomach.

"There are no more fish bones, eat." Ao Yang urged this little thing that was too weak to work.

Disillusioned again, he almost clasped his head on his forelegs, escaping the situation in front of him that made him powerless to resist.

"Still not eating?" Ao Yang didn't get angry, but just wondered: Isn't there no fish bones now? Why don't you eat it yet?

Forget it, I can't let myself go hungry and lose my strength, then I won't be able to walk.

After protesting in silence for a long time, Xitu began to compromise, silently eating the scattered fish fragments in front of him.

"What's your name?" After eating the fish, the anxious and helpless Xitu continued to try to talk to the dragon.

"Ao Yang." The brown-eyed white dragon stayed on the shore of the lake, though he never let his guard down.

The little tiger cub suddenly exploded: "What? Your name is Ao Yang? "Your surname is Ao? Are you friends with Ao Bai and Ji Mo? They never mentioned you, though.

"Well, what about you?" Ao Yang didn't understand the other party's surprise, so he didn't react, on the contrary, he was happy that his name was finally asked: If I don't mention it again, I won't remember my name.

The little tiger cub's eyes widened, and he looked at the white dragon in front of him with interest, "My name is Xitu." "Could it be Ao Bai's friend? If I sue him that I know Ao Bai and Ji Mo, will this Ao Yang let me go home?

"Okay, Xitu."

"Ao Yang, is there only one dragon living in this lake?" Shetu began to ask cautious questions.

"Yes."

"Do you have any other relatives and friends in the sea? You live here on your own, and they will definitely miss you terribly. "Tell me quickly, tell me that you have a brother named Ao Bai in the Sicilian Sea, and the little tiger cub looked at the big dragon in front of him almost encouragingly.

Ao Yang said lonely: "No, no. "I had it when I was very young, but they didn't want me anymore, so I didn't want them either.

Disappointed, he reluctantly asked, "How could it not be?" At least there will be a mother father and a beast father, right? Otherwise, how could there be you? "You must be lying, maybe you're still like me, and for some reason you sneaked away to stay on the territory of your rival.

After asking this question, Ao Yang suddenly became unhappy, and he said coldly: "Say no, just no!" Don't run away, or I'll catch all the orcs in the neighborhood tomorrow and throw them all into the lake!" With that, he stretched out and swam into the lake to dive.

- I hate it when anyone mentions my mother, my mother's ...... They all deserve to die!

"Hey! Whose dragon are you? If you are so domineering and cruel, if you are in a bad mood, you will throw all the innocent orcs into the lake and drown, and the beast god will definitely punish you! Shetu stood up and shouted silently at the quiet, waveless lake.

Although the bushes were behind him, Xitu did not dare to act rashly. First of all, he did get lost, and now if he rashly broke into the dense forest, he might run into a fierce beast and be torn to pieces and eaten; Secondly, he was also worried that after he escaped, Ao Yang would really vent his anger on the lives of his own people.

"Alas~ Forget it, what are you going to do?" The little tiger cub sighed sadly, lay back on his forelimbs, and then unconsciously curled up on his side and slowly fell asleep.

Soon after, Ao Yang quietly surfaced on the surface of the lake, looking at the little black cub who did not sneak away while he was away, and he hated it the most.

If the little tiger cub dared to slip away, he would not sympathize with it at all. This great lake is deep in the heart of the dense forest, and it is surrounded by many large beasts, and it is really clear that Ao Yang has lived here for so long—he has promised me that he will not sneak away, and now he has broken his promise, so it is none of my business to be eaten by fierce beasts.

Of course, there was not only one orc who had no intention of intruding into his territory, but there were several before, birds and beasts, all of whom promised well, and then sneaked away after they left, without exception, all of them ended up in the belly of the beast - of course, this account would eventually be counted on his head, but Ao Yang never cared or disdained to explain it to the despicable orcs.

"As long as you are good, I will catch fish for you to eat every day." Ao Yang whispered to Xitu, and then slowly sank into the middle of the lake.

In the evening of this day, after tidying up the house, Qing Zhe looked at the sky, quickly made a fire and began to stew bone broth, and then smeared the piece of fresh meat that was divided by the tribe with seasoning and marinated, and waited for his cubs to start roasting meat as soon as they returned from the jungle trial.

"I don't know if he is well-behaved today, whether he listened to his father." Qing Zhe muttered with a loving smile.

After he had prepared his supper, he went out again to gather all the dried fruit that was drying. Since his health has improved a lot, Qingzhe's whole person is no longer the lifeless despair he had before, and he thinks about who he wants to take care of after his death all day long.

It was getting dark, but none of the little orcs who had been brought into the dense forest by the warriors early in the morning had returned, and Qing Zhe kept going out of the house to look, and there were many females in the same mood as him, and finally most of the tribe gathered at the stone gate to wait.

"Did something happen? Why hasn't it come back yet? Everyone was speculating like this in their hearts, but none of them dared to say it.

It wasn't until it was dark and torches began to be lit around that the shadows of a group of people finally appeared in the distance.

"It's back!"

"Behold, it is back!"

"It's too late to come back today."

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and all of them greeted them with happy smiles, ready to lead their children and partners home.

Qing Zhe also smiled and walked forward, carefully identifying the group of orc males walking towards him.

Everyone quickly realized that something was wrong, because none of the orcs who came back had a smile on their faces, and all of them were ugly - most of the little orcs who couldn't hide their thoughts couldn't help but bring sympathy and pity when they saw Qing Zhe.

"What about Situ? What about Xitu? What about Xitu? Qing Zhe's smile slowly faded, and he nervously asked the few adult orcs standing in front of him with dodgy expressions.

"What about Situ? How, how can I ...... my Xitu?" the latter words Qing Zhe didn't say anymore, and he asked anxiously and loudly, "What about Rui?" He's the father of Seetu, has Rui returned? ”

There was silence, and no one dared to laugh anymore.

"Qingzhe, you calm down first. We've all been back to the creek outside the tribe this afternoon, and Hetu says he's going to pick sour grass nearby, and you know, it's just on the river's edge, but ...... Xitu never came back as soon as he went, Rui and Jia have already gone to find it, don't worry. ”

In fact, Xitu's footprints and smell were still very obvious, and Rui was also a very responsible father, and after he waited for a short time, he felt that something was wrong: because the sour grass grew not far away, it was enough to pick two handfuls at will, why didn't he come back?

At that time, he thought that Xitu was just playful again, and deliberately rubbed inside, so he went to look for it, and this time it was amazing: the disobedient little black cub actually ran into the dense forest again! What exactly does he want to do?

*****

Ji Mo has been busy with the same thing these days: looking for pearls.

Their new home is ready to move in. There are only a few days left before the agreed time with the little tiger cub Xitu, and Ji Mo wants to bring a little gift to the little tiger cub.

Since the boy insisted that the pearl was a lifesaver in their orc tribe, it would be better to give it than to give it away. Besides, if you can establish a connection with the terrestrial orc tribe in the future, pearls are very important items in the Sicilian Sea, and they can be said to be monopolistic - terrestrial orcs can't dive into the sea to find pearls because of their body structure.

"Is there any of this?" Ji Mo had been touching the pearls for an afternoon, and he was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, so he simply lay on the sea sand.

Not all shells can grow pearls, and the Sicilian Sea is not a modern pearl oyster farm. It is uncertain which shell has pearls in them, how big they are, and how many they are, but they can only be opened one by one to see, and the fingers of the fish have been scratched in several places by the sharp edges of the shells, and the nails are painful.

"Alas~ and no." Ji Mo was disappointed again, and after a busy afternoon, the shark yarn bag behind him only contained a dozen pearls of different sizes and colors.

The crossing fish turned over and lay down, and by the way, he looked at his hands and ten fingers full of small openings, and at first it was hot and painful to soak in the seawater, but fortunately it has become a mermaid now, and the wound quickly stopped bleeding by itself, and was covered with a transparent membrane.

"One, two, three...... Eleven, twelve, this afternoon's harvest is twelve. Ji Mo poured out the beads in the bag again and counted them, thinking with some distress that it was not easy to find pearls, and it was far from what he imagined.

Before, the sea area not far from the door of his house was full of shells, but he and Ao Bai never had the idea of "opening it to see if there are any pearls", because in the world of sea orcs, pearls can only be decorations and night lighting supplies, what to hoard them for?

After Ji Mo lay down and rested for a while, he felt that his strength still hadn't returned to his body, he felt that it was because he had consumed too much body, so he decided to rest for a while.

Lying in the world of corals, watching the colorful and colorful fish swim around, Ji Mo will never get tired of it, and he can look at it with great interest.

"Ji Mo, why haven't you gone home yet?" It wasn't until Ao Bai didn't see the figure of the mermaid coming out to look for someone after he returned home from inspecting the sealed sea, that Ji Mo's rest was interrupted.

"Ao Bai, you're back, are you still smooth today?" The crossing fish beckoned to his partner, who swam over with a smile and the two lay down side by side.

The white dragon said gently: "Shun lì." The cold season is coming soon, and all the beasts are migrating to the deep sea, and only a small part of our Sicily is actually the deep sea. ”

The corners of the fish's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but smile, and said, "Then didn't they all swim to the West Sea and the East Sea?" Will the dragons there ...... Yes? "Hahaha~ this、This is too much or something.

After casually weighing the bag in his partner's hand and estimating the other party's harvest in the afternoon, Ao Bai replied innocently with ice blue eyes:

"Yes, that's the habit of the beast itself, it's always been like this, everyone knows it. Ji Mo, the sea god still takes care of us, because the Sicilian Sea does not have as many dragons as other seas, so we can have a good rest in the cold season. Bailong said with satisfaction and emotion.

Ji Mo nodded, "That's right!" Although there are many fierce beasts in the Sicilian Sea, but when the cold season comes, they leave, you can finally rest for a while, and I am really worried that you will be tired after such a hard work of patrolling the sea all year round. ”

Ao Bai hugged his partner to his body, slowly kissed the mermaid's ear and said, "Actually, it's just the first time I'm tired from patrolling the sea, but now I'm just going to take a look, and I'll come back if there's nothing abnormal." Don't worry, Ji Mo, I will definitely always accompany you and the children in the future. ”

In fact, this kind of life is quite frightening, but I can't stand that my dragon is such a responsible dragon, so I can only send him out every day worryingly, and then hope that he will come back safely as soon as possible.

Ji Mo lay on his partner's body, his legs were parted and riding on each other's waists, nesting comfortably, playing with the other party's long silver-white hair floating in the sea.

"Alas~ Be careful, never be strong. There are so many fierce beasts in the ocean, three days and five days, March and May, three years and five years, and even this life can not be hunted, see that the situation is not right, run quickly, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood! The crossing fish was worried, and unconsciously said something that the white dragon did not understand.

Ao Bai kissed his partner's forehead and comforted him again: "No." I have sworn to you a long time ago: I will never be strong, I will never chase a beast, and I will go home every day when I am tired. Rest assured, I remember it all along. ”

The two hugged warmly, and the person they were concerned about was by their side at the moment, and they finally didn't have to do anything to be restless.

"There are almost no pearls in the shells here." Ji Mo lazily told his partner about the situation.

Ao Bai nodded knowingly and explained, "It's not strange. Ji Mo, the water here is too shallow, and there are often storms, and you can see so many shells piled up on the beach. I'll take you to the deeper sea another day to find it, there must be more of them. ”

Ji Mo covered Ao Bai's eyes with one hand, and the index finger of the other hand swiped the other party's tall nose, admiring how he could grow like this? He replied absentmindedly, "Oh, okay, let's go to the deep sea another day." ”

Ao Bai let his partner lie on top of him, and he liked the other party's initiative to approach very much. At this time, he felt Ji Mo's fingers gently slashing over and over his facial features, and he looked very relaxed and satisfied, Ao Bai couldn't help but take Ji Mo's fingers in his mouth and suck hard.

The smell of blood?

Ao Bai hurriedly spit it out, got up and sat down, pulled Ji Mo's hand away, and let him sit on his lap, "The fingers are like this...... Alas~ You don't have to be in such a hurry to find pearls, aren't there still a few at home? ”

Hiss~

"It's okay, what a small opening, if you don't suck it, it's fine." Ji Mo pulled his fingers back, worried that Ao Bai would have to help again.

"But every finger has it!" Ao Bai said stubbornly, and the tone was much stricter than hurting his fingers.

Ji Mo comforted him: "At the same time, every finger is already healed!" That's it, come, laugh. He pulled his partner down by the neck and grinned at him.

"Let's go home." It took a while for Ao Bai to decide not to pursue his partner's finger injury, and he directly picked up his partner and swam home.

Ji Mo knew that this was almost Ao Bai's habit, since he could turn into a human form, every moment as long as he was free, he would hug, hold, hold, and carry himself in various ways; A few times when he raised a slight objection, the other party became very sad and obviously lost, as if he had been greatly wronged, and said: I am your partner, why don't you want me to be close to you? Ji Mo, you still don't like my human form, do you?

De~ After saying all these words, Ji Mo was successfully shocked, and from then on, he no longer pushed away or resisted Ao Bai's closeness lightly, lest the stupid dragon think crankily again, for example, at this time.

"In the cold season, will these fish also migrate to the deep sea?" When passing by the colorful fish, Ji Mo asked curiously.

Ao Bai shook his head, "No, they have long been used to it. ”

"I'll open the door." Ji Mo leaned over to open the wooden door with a random latch, and the two of them entered the house.

Ao Bai put Ji Mo on the chair, and then helped put the shark yarn bag on the cabinet.

"We're going to get up early the day after tomorrow, we made an appointment with Xitu to meet the day after tomorrow, and I don't know if the little tiger counts the stones clearly, if you accidentally count more or less, it will be bad." Ji Mo said to his partner with a smile.

At that time, he could only teach the little tiger cub the number "twenty" and the corresponding number of stones.

Ao Bai nodded, and when he thought of the little tiger, he also had a smile on his face:

"Okay, then let's go to the beach and wait for him early, I hope that cub doesn't miss the time."
