"Mother, father, it's so lively outside, don't you really want to go out and have a look?" Situ said wistfully, standing by the windowsill, tiptoe and craned his neck desperately in the direction of the tribal square.

Qingzhe sat on the edge of the fire to keep warm, slowly stirring the dry wood burning inside, he smiled and said, "Do you want to see it?" ”

"Hmm~~~" The little orc looked at his mother's and father's shoulders that had not yet healed, and said with great patience: "Actually~ also、I don't think so, I just look at the excitement outside." ”

Alas~ Mother and father definitely shouldn't go out, the Beast God Festival is so grand and grand, and there are many foreigners coming, bustling and rubbing shoulders, in case it is squeezed and bumped, it will be bad.

"Hahaha~" Qingzhe smiled happily and indulgently, he put the bone spur in his hand to the side, stood up and walked to the windowsill, and looked at the red bonfire in the center of the tribe side by side with his cub.

"Mother and father know you want to go, but you can't go on your own. Your grandfathers will come over in a moment, and they will take you with them, Xitu. ”

The little tiger cub's eyes instantly sparkled, "Uh~ Really? What about you, mother, father? Actually, you can also go, and I will protect you when the time comes. ”

Qing Zhe shook his head and said with a light smile: "Mother and father won't go, your grandfather won't let me go, and I don't want to go out." If mom and dad go, where can you still have fun? ”

The cubs always like to be lively, and they shouldn't be too restrained, but Qingzhe is really not interested in it - the Beast God Festival is almost the same every time, I liked it the most when I was a child, and I looked forward to it day and night, but now that he is older and has a lot of things on his mind, he can no longer easily integrate into the simple hustle and bustle, and he is tired.

Xitu was a little disappointed, but he was young after all, and he was very happy to learn that he could go out.

"Alright Mother and father, I'll go with my grandfathers. Don't worry, I'll take good care of my grandparents, and I'll bring you a portion of the barbecue and jam. The little tiger cub couldn't hide his excitement, and the laughter and slapstick of all kinds of little orcs and little females outside almost hooked him unsteadily, and the soles of his feet shook upside down as if they had thorns.

Qing Zhe told uneasily: "There are too many foreigners who came today, you must not run around, you must listen to the words of your ancestors, you know?" Beware of the foreign guests, they are all timid. ”

"Ah~~!" The little orc immediately smiled happily and proudly, "Yes, Mother and Father, those foreign guests are really very timid! Especially from the Bobcat tribe, we were just joking with them, but they thought we really wanted to bully them! ”

――Hahaha~~ I didn't use my strength when I played, and the cat meowed and shouted for help, which was so funny......

Qing Zhe raised his hand and knocked on the door of the little black cub's head, and warned softly: "Play in a measured way, don't take it seriously, don't laugh at them!" The lynx tribe is relatively small and the beast form is weak, but they are very diligent, our tribe can't bully them just because they are tigers, lions and leopards, the lynx and spotted dog tribes come with a lot of food every time, and part of the food we eat in the cold season is brought by them. ”

It's also something that can't be helped, mainly because of racial differences.

The little orcs of the beast tribe are all little tigers, little lions, little leopards, little wolves, and little bears with natural powers, and when these cubs are just born and open their eyes, it is their instinct to attack and fight. But the little orcs of the lynx and spotted dog tribes are not strong enough and have a relatively gentle nature, so they always lose and cry often when they fight, because they feel bullied.

Therefore, every time the beast tribe of the beast god festival accepts the lynx and the spotted dog tribe to come in to resist the cold season, they will tell the little orcs of the tribe in their ears: try not to mess with the guests, in case you really want to fight, you can't go all out, which means to play.

Qing Zhe laughed while thinking, who knew that he hadn't finished laughing yet, Xitu suddenly said angrily:

"Who's going to eat their food? We have lots and lots of food ourselves! Ao Yang, he helped hunt—"

"Xitu!" The rare relaxed and leisurely smile on Qing Zhe's face disappeared immediately, and he covered the little tiger cub's mouth and stopped him harshly.

"What did Mother and Father tell you? Those things can't be mentioned when they return to the tribe, and if we mention it, we won't have a peaceful life, and the tribesmen will definitely ask to the end, have you forgotten? Qingzhe pulled the cub back to the inner bedroom and taught him in a low voice.

The little tiger cub's love suddenly became low, and he lowered his head in frustration, "I know that I am wrong about my mother and father, and I won't say it in front of outsiders." ”

Qing Zhe hugged him, sighed and coaxed: "Okay, mother and father don't blame you, don't be sad, today is the Beast God Festival, after the ancestors come over later, you will go out with them and play happily." ”

Alas~ The time I lived in the holy lake was really unforgettable, and my mother and father couldn't forget it, but this really can't be publicized, my tiger cub......

After the mother and son sat and talked for a while, Qingzhe's mother and beast father arrived.

Tara's voice came with a deep smile of affection:

"Where's my little tiger? Are you in a hurry? ”

Qing Zhe cheered up and said, "Beast Father, Mother Father, you have finally arrived. Xitu is not in a hurry, he just stood by the windowsill and watched for a long time, and the window was about to be demolished by him. ”

"Hahaha~~~" Qing Zhe's beast father Qing Jue laughed happily, although he was old, his body was okay, and it hurt to the bones for the only cub born to his only child.

Qing Jue picked up the little orc, whose body was not as noble as his chest, and threw it a few times, "Xitu cub is so anxious to go out to play, do you have a crush on which little female?" Hahaha~"

"Not really!" Xitu denied it embarrassedly, a little annoyed and angry, "I don't like any little female, they know how to cry and sue!" ”

Tara "ha~", slapped her palms, and teased: "A little cub!" What's the use of a hard mouth now? Don't you have to run behind a little female in the future? ”

Facing the jokes of the three closest relatives, Xitu's face turned red with anger, and he didn't know what to say, looking pitiful.

"You guys are not allowed to say it again, I really don't like any little female, I, I just want to play with Tao Tao and Pei them."

Since the atmosphere is so good, Qing Zhe also made a joke, "Isn't Pei just a little female?" Don't you dislike him again? ”

Tara decisively betrayed the little tiger cub: "Hey~ It's not! I know, that's because Pei is good-looking and obedient, and every day Brother Xitu and Brother Xitu shout, coaxing our little black cub's tail to, hahaha~~"

"Oops~I'm too lazy to tell you~" Xitu's face immediately turned red, he quickly turned around, clenched his fists and rushed out of the room.

Tara and Qingjue hurriedly chased out, "Hello, belch, wait for Xitu, you can't go by yourself!" ”

"Qingzhe, let's take the child out to participate in the Beast God Festival, you can rest early at home, remember to close the doors and windows, Xitu won't come back tonight, the beast father will take him home." Qing Jue hurriedly admonished, and then chased after his partner and the little tiger in a hurry.

"Knowing the beast father, be careful, go home early!" Qing Zhe chased out two steps and reminded him uneasily.

In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left.

The Beast God Festival is the only grand festival to reward the gods and pray for blessings, and its importance is not trivial. Therefore, the tribesmen, as long as they can go, generally go with the whole family: the first is a group activity, the second is to make the cubs happy, and the most important thing is to pray for a safe and healthy future.

Qing Zhe stood at the door for a while, tonight the snow stopped, there was a hazy moonlight, and the fire in the far center of the tribe square stained half of the sky, bustling and noisy, and it was more and more deserted here.

"Whew~ Sounds pretty hilarious." Qingzhe muttered to himself.

――Ao Yang must have never seen such a lively scene, right? He's a dragon, oh no, fortunately, there are Ji Mo and Ao Bai with him, Ji Mo should be rescued, right? It should be, the two dragons are on it together, and as long as the eagle people of the Raptor tribe are clear-headed, they will not hold Ji Mo. Even if they had wings, they would eventually inhabit the land protected by the beast god, and it would definitely be a big problem for them to provoke the two dragons......

While he was thinking wildly, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind the dry wood stack next to him:

"It's really lively in the square, why don't you go and see it?"

Qing Zhe turned his head in surprise, then quickly took a few steps back, and after taking a look at the visitor, he immediately turned around and entered the house, and wanted to close the door with his backhand.

"Qingzhe!" Higg strode over, stretched out his hand to block the door, and said bitterly, "What do you mean by that?" Don't you want to say a word to me? ”

"Let it go, Higg, I don't want to get in trouble." Qing Zhe said expressionlessly, he used a little more force with one hand, and the door failed to close, and then he simply pressed half of his shoulder against the door with force, but the door still did not close.

Because, Higg will not let go.

"Qingzhe, I don't mean anything else, I just come to see you, see how you're doing—" Higg said in a low voice.

At this time, he is no longer the high-spirited Tiger Clan warrior and tribal patriarch before, and the serious injury he suffered last time has caused a lot of damage to his body, and Hig has weakened a lot.

"I'm doing well, so you can go." Qing Zhe impatiently ordered the eviction.

Higg looked at the familiar and unfamiliar ex-partner in front of him, he was very flustered, because he obviously felt that there was no love, not even hatred and reluctance in the other party's eyes, and his face was full of dislike and disgust.

"I heard you're hurt, I'd like to come and see you, but Karihe—" Higg explained with some anxiety.

Qing Zhe quickly interrupted, "You hurry up, it's best if you don't come, lest Kari find out and come back to make trouble, I don't want to be angry anymore!" Please take care of your partner and don't let Kari come to me in a bad mood, okay? ”

"I know you're still mad at me and Kari, but I really can't help it, Kari was pregnant with my cub at that time, and I can't leave it alone-" Higg's face was full of grievances, and he tried to defend himself again.

The disgust and disdain in Qing Zhe's heart had completely been expressed on his face, and he simply let go of the door, pulled it and slammed it shut, and the heavy door panel almost hit Higg's nose.

"Enough is Higg!" Qing Zhe couldn't help but whisper angrily, "We have separated, you have long been an orc that I Qing Zhe didn't want, so no matter what happens to you and Kari, it has nothing to do with me, and, me, nothing, close!" Did you hear me clearly? I can't imagine that you are such a despicable and shameless orc, what do you mean by the fact that you betrayed me and Xitu in the first place, and did not say anything in advance, and you came to me now? Are you not satisfied to see me come back alive from the sacred lake? You're just trying to get me in trouble, aren't you? ”

These words made Higg's body tremble slightly, but he still insisted on blocking the door panel, and said disappointed with red eyes: "Qingzhe, you have changed, you were not like this before, how could I bother to come to you for trouble?" I really just came to visit you. ”

"So what? You're done, I said I'm doing well, now can you get out? Qing Zhe said with an extremely ugly face.

Qingzhe didn't dare to scold loudly.

There is no way, there are too many tribesmen and there are troubles, if the quarrel attracts the attention of the tribesmen at this time, then in the end, no matter how he explains it himself, the words that spread will not be too good.

It doesn't matter what the people say about me, I don't care, but Xitu is a cub I raise, and I can't let him be pointed at as well—the little orcs are innocent, but some people don't necessarily sympathize with him.

He paused for a moment, looking at the female who had been so much in love with him in the past, and now refused to give him a straight eye, with an expression of complete abandonment of himself, which he could not accept.

"Qingzhe, after you went to the Holy Lake, when I went hunting with Kamon, we were besieged by beasts, and we were both seriously injured...... My tail was broken into several pieces, and I couldn't get back to what it used to be, and without my tail, I lost the same important strength, and I couldn't keep my balance in battle...... The patriarch must be a mighty warrior, but I am no longer a warrior...... I'll soon be no longer a patriarch......"

Higg confided in pain, since his injury, he had been so strong that he had been wise and calm on the surface, but he was desperate in his heart - however, he could not find someone to talk to.

Sigg's beast parents have long been disappointed in Higg because of Qingzhe's affairs; Kari adores a mighty warrior and has always struggled to accept, let alone comfort, the fact that his partner's tail is crippled.

At this time, Higg only remembered his ex-partner Qingzhe.

"You go to the priests and ask them for help, and tell me it's useless." Qing Zhe said calmly, and what he thought in surprise in his heart was:

――It's unbelievable that I don't feel sorry for him at all. It seems that he really let go of it completely after he died.

Higg took half a step back in disbelief, he really didn't know why Qing Zhe didn't have a sad expression at all after hearing this, "Qing Zhe! I, I, you—"

Qingzhe's patience was all used up, he took a deep breath, and said angrily:

"Get out! Get out now! What you, you, you, me, me, me? We didn't have anything to do with each other for a long time, and if you dared to do something like that, you had to think about the consequences today! Don't let me look down on you too much, if you don't leave, I'm really welcome, orcs like you are so disgusting! ”

After gritting his teeth and scolding, he was really angry, and raised his foot and kicked the other party.

This kick kicked Higg to his senses, and he looked at the other party and then at himself in amazement, and then he regained his discarded self-esteem with a cold face, and dropped a sentence in disappointment:

"Qingzhe, I really didn't expect you to become such a female, don't forget, it was you who insisted on breaking the partnership contract with me in the first place, hum!"

After saying that, he strode away, mainly because Kari was still waiting for him to go back, and he only came here by stealing it today.

"Phew! What a disgusting thing, it really stains my threshold! Qing Zhe was so angry that his face turned pale, and he lost his mind and closed the door of the house with force.

With a loud "bang", Qingzhe stepped heavily into the inner room, wanting to drink saliva to calm down.

The next second, "Drink~~~!" With a frightened gasp, Qing Zhe rushed into the room in a few steps, and asked in surprise and joy:

"Why are you here?"

In the bedroom, Ao Yang stood quietly, although he did a lot of disguise, but there was no way to cover the figure and eyes, and Qing Zhe recognized it at a glance.

Ao Yang said seriously:

"You've just done the right thing, and I'm very happy."

*****

Rong Tuo grinded his fists, and there was excitement and bloodthirsty light in his eyes.

"Tsk~ There are a lot of four-hoofed beasts." Qinglong said without the slightest fear.

After Ao Bai settled Ji Mo, he swam up again, and Yan sù warned:

"Rong Tuo, don't kill indiscriminately tonight, we're not here to seek revenge, if you really want to kill, come by yourself another day."

Today's purpose is to take Qing Zhe back, and he can't be real with the land orcs, lest the eldest brother be a dragon - what if the land orcs die and Qing Zhe is angry with the eldest brother?

Alas~ No way, Poseidon actually made the eldest brother fall in love with a land female! It seems that in the future, we will have to wait for them to make the first move before we can fight back.

But that's what it was supposed to be, whether it's the eldest brother or me, as long as the other party doesn't take the initiative to provoke provocations, which dragon is so full that he can't get along with the land orcs every day? What's more, I already have the sea sealed, and when the child is born and the warm season, Ji Mo and I will take the child back to the Sicilian Sea.

- Dragons are only interested in water, and no matter how large the land is, it is of little use to them.

It's a pity that this one-eyed green dragon obviously doesn't think like that - Rong Tuo was originally young and vigorous, brave and ruthless, and in the process of searching for the dragon fruit, he was caught blind in one eye by the Raptor Tribe, which made the hatred in his heart as deep as the South China Sea, even killing all the land orcs probably couldn't make him relieve his hatred.

"Hmph, can you handle it? Kill whenever I want, whenever I want! Rong Tuo said angrily.

Ao Bai didn't say much, and with a blow of the water rope, he firmly tied the green dragon and threw it to the bottom of the river, thinking that I must not let you stay any longer to ruin our plans.

Ji Mo was sitting anxiously waiting in the water curtain cave when suddenly something big fell from it, and the water flow nearby fluctuated.

Take a closer look, and it's fun to cross the fish.

"Let go of me, damn Ao Bai!" Qinglong struggled desperately and scolded angrily.

"Hey, hey, calm down, he'll let you go later." Ji Mo kindly comforted.

Rong Tuo turned his head, and then he saw the mermaid sitting next to him with a smile.

"What are you laughing at? Your dragon bullies the weak, wait, sooner or later I will defeat him! ”

Ji Mo smiled even happier, "Okay, then you have to work hard, Ao Bai has worked very hard to get to where he is today." ”

Rong Tuo was so angry that he mocked without words: "Enough, it seems that Ao Bai is relying on his own efforts!" Didn't he get great power just because he curryed favor with his eldest brother and ate dragon fruit? Mermaid, don't think I don't know, your dragon is a notoriously indevisible weak dragon and waste dragon in the East China Sea, if it weren't for—"

"If you don't know the inside story, don't talk nonsense!" Ji Mo couldn't laugh anymore, he quickly got up and swam out of the cave, frowning and preparing to refute Qinglong

- Huh? How did I get out? Can I actually penetrate the water curtain arranged by Ao Bai?

Ji Mo was stunned, he had been sitting obediently just now and didn't try to swim out, as for the reason?

Ahem~ Of course, it's because I'm used to it and accepted it. It's like a story I've heard before, where sharks and fish are kept in a fish tank, separated by transparent glass, and the shark is desperately trying to hit the glass at first, and after a period of failure, it will die, and even if the glass partition is removed, the shark will not swim to the opposite side again......

Surprised, Ji Mo hurriedly tried to swim in again-hey~ I'm coming in again?

Next, under the surprise, the crossing fish flicked its tail back and forth, in and out, and was so happy that it couldn't close its mouth.

"Mermaid, are you crazy?" Rong Tuo looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Tsk~ How can there be such a strange mermaid? It doesn't matter if the tail is ugly, but now it seems that there is a bit of a problem with the brain, and it keeps spinning in circles?!

"You're crazy." Ji Mo retorted casually, he tried to touch the water curtain: Hmm~ I'm sure there is, it's not that Ao Bai forgot to get it, so why can't you stop me?

Could it be that Ao Bai's strength has weakened?

Oh my God, it can't be, right?

After thinking of this possibility, Ji Mo hurriedly swam in, and then raised his hand to greet Qinglong:

"Rong Tuo, come over here, I'll see if your claws can reach in and touch me."

As soon as these words came out, Qinglong was stunned for a moment, then moved back half a meter vigilantly, and said nervously and shyly:

"Hey~ what do you want to do? I don't like mermaids, and I can't find a mermaid as a companion, what I like is a female dragon...... So, you die mermaid, don't beat my idea, I can't reach out and touch you with my claws! "Hmph~ No wonder, this mermaid always looks at me with a smile......

Ji Mo: =_=
