93. Birth · Look, this is our cub
"Ah~!" Ji Mo screamed in horror, he knew something bad was wrong as soon as he stepped on it, and the small piece of floor was not covered with snow, but a smooth and traceless ice cube.
In the event of a sudden accident, the body's reflexive self-help will work faster than the brain, and Ji Mo subconsciously stretched out his hands and knelt on his knees when he fell forward, to cushion and protect vital organs.
But at the moment of falling, Ji Mo immediately thought about the child - he tried his best to raise his arms and stretch his upper body forward while kneeling down with all his might, and finally did not let his stomach touch the floor, nor did he let his thighs and chest squeeze into the abdominal cavity.
"Ji Mo!" Ao Bai had just bent down to pick up the basket, and the moment he heard his partner's shout, he looked up suddenly, but he saw a scene that made him frightened, but unfortunately there were a few steps between the two sides, and Ao Bai did not have the ability to teleport, and after he tried his best to pounce, he only had time to hold Ji Mo's shoulder that fell to the ground.
Ji Mo was already lying face down on the floor.
"How? How are you? Ao Bai asked in horror, he pulled Ji Mo over and picked him up, and asked urgently, so remorseful that he wanted to slap himself a few times.
- Was the ghost confused? What are you doing in a hurry to get the basket? The basket doesn't have long legs, so Ji Mo should be sent in first and then come out to get the basket!
Unfortunately, this kind of after-the-fact reflection is generally useless in the event of a sudden accident at hand.
"Hmm~~ My wrist ......" Ji Mo's eyes widened, and the darkness in front of him was starry for a while, and his facial features were distorted in pain, "My stomach is ......"
When he fell just now, he forcibly changed the posture of falling to the ground, because he didn't dare to borrow too much the strength of his thighs and knees, and was worried about squeezing his abdomen, he put his weight on both wrists with little cushioning, and the moment his hands supported the ground, he hit it straight and stiff, and his wrists were so painful that he almost wanted to roll and scream.
"Tower Priest!" Ao Bai roared and rushed in.
"Uh~~" What shocked the little white dragon was that when he ran into the wooden house with Ji Mo in his arms, he almost slipped once.
- Who did it? Who did this? Who's spilling water on the floor when they're full?!!!
The little white dragon hurriedly and angrily observed a few times, then suppressed his anger and carefully raised his feet to continue to rush in.
This qiē only happens in a few blinks of an eye.
"What's going on?" Ao Yang opened the door for the first time and asked in surprise: "Ji Mo, what's wrong with him?" "Didn't you two hug each other affectionately when I opened the door just now? How did it happen in the blink of an eye?
After the huge pain in his wrist subsided, Ji Mo desperately found that his stomach began to feel uncomfortable, and he had a dull pain in the twitches, and the symptoms tended to worsen.
Although I barely let my stomach hit the floor directly just now, I was sure that I had tossed it hard.
"Ji Mo fell, what about the tower priest?" Ao Bai explained briefly, and then anxiously asked about the old priest's whereabouts.
"What's going on? Immediately hug him in! The tower commander who hurriedly got dressed and walked out quickly, "Ao Bai, Ji Mo, what's wrong?" ”
"Ji Mo fell outside, and he didn't hit his stomach directly, he said that his wrist hurt." Ao Bai was so nervous that he couldn't speak in the usual tone and rhythm, and he quickly carried his partner into the bedroom and carefully laid it flat on the bed.
After all, Ta has seen a lot of this situation, and he calmly arranged: "Let Qingzhe boil some water, prepare some food and clean clothes, go and close the window tightly, cover the animal skin, move a small fire pit that is burning brightly, and put it behind the door, don't get too close to the bed." ”
"Good, good, good!" Ao Bai agreed a few times, but his eyes were glued to Ji Mo on the bed, and he couldn't move his legs for a while.
"Don't go yet!" Ta slapped Ao Bai's arm hard, scolding and urging.
Ao Bai suddenly gasped for a moment, and ran out quickly with a stiff face.
"What else is needed?" Ao Yang quickly closed the window, covered the animal skin, and then turned to ask.
Without raising his head the tower, he said, "You go out, let Qingzhe come in and help me." ”
Ao Yang nodded and strode out, his brows couldn't help but tighten: What happened outside just now? This wooden house Ji Mo walks around every day, and is protected by Ao Bai, he has never had an accident, why did he fall today?
At this time, Qingzhe also hurriedly got dressed and ran out of the room, so that everyone got up late on such a cold day, and they all nested beautifully.
Sleeping with his head covered, he was awakened by Ao Bai's vigorous and rapid knock on the door.
"Ji Mo fell? How can you be so careless? Qing Zhe pulled his clothes, also looking panicked.
"The priest of the tower asked me to boil some water, and I also need food, clean clothes, and a small fire pit, can you help?" Ao Bai repeated it very quickly, and as he quickly moved a spare small stone fire pit from the utility room, he hurriedly stirred charcoal and dry wood from the large fire pit in the living room, his lips pursed tightly, and his fingers trembled slightly.
After hearing this, Qingzhe spun around in place like a headless fly, and then ran over and began to prepare to boil water.
"Qingzhe, you go in and help, I'll do the things outside with Ao Bai." Ao Yang arranged.
"Oh, oh, good! I'll go in. Qing Zhe slapped his forehead, got up and ran into the inner room in a hurry, and he said in his heart:
- Come to think of it, I still have a little experience here, so it's convenient to go in and fight, and the rest are either orcs or dragons, they have heavy hands and feet, and they can't help.
The little white dragon was born with a fear of heat and not cold, and he always sat back when he roasted the fire, and he had no interest in drinking hot soup and eating cooked food.
At this time
"Ah~~~!" There was a scream of pain from Ji Mo's voice, and people's hearts tightened when they heard it.
Ao Bai gasped a few times suddenly, looked pained, and pinched off a dry firewood with a "click" in his hand.
"Don't be afraid, with the help of the priest, it will be smooth." While boiling water, Ao Yang comforted, "You have to hurry up, the house is cold and needs a fire." ”
"Hmm!" Ao Bai tried his best to calm his feelings, quickly lit a small fire pit that burned red, picked it up and went to the inner room.
Ao Yang quickly scolded: "Don't even wrap the animal skin, don't you want that claw?" ”
Originally, the stone fire pit had two ear-shaped handles, and when it was moved, it was usually carried with a piece of animal skin.
"It's okay, it's not hot when it just burns." Ao Baitou said without replying, he felt that his mind and body had been completely split into two parts: his body was busy fulfilling the priest's orders, and his mind had been completely snatched away by the screams and whimpering of his mate.
Ao Yang carried the stone pot and rushed out to get some lake water to boil, but he was almost slipped by a large sheet of thin ice outside near the right window of the stone house.
His heart was shocked, and his eyes immediately looked at the window of the room.
Rong Tuo, who was peeping inside, immediately lowered himself and moved away from the windowsill, leaning against the wall with his back, his heart "banging thump" and jumping in a string, almost unable to distinguish the spacing.
Ao Yang had a bottom in his heart, he snorted coldly, first went to the side to fetch water and went in to boil, and decided to clean up the green dragon that couldn't eat fish and shrimp if he didn't get into trouble for a day.
"Oops~ What's wrong? Who's calling? It's a terrible sound! Xitu on the bed was awakened by an extraordinarily shrill scream, and the little tiger cub suddenly got out of the animal skin mattress, jumped lightly to the ground, and asked in surprise.
Originally, he was quite alert, but he played with Rong Tuo last night and didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
"Ji Mo? Beast God, it's Ji Mo's voice, what's wrong with him? The little tiger cub pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and then he was frightened, and he looked at Rong Tuo, who was standing next to the window, and asked.
"I—I've just woken up, so I don't know." Rong Tuo replied in a fluttering voice, "It seems that Ji Mo's child is about to be born." ”
The little tiger cub was surprised: "What? Wow~~~! Is it finally about to be born? I've been waiting for a long time. After saying that, he flew out of the bedroom excitedly and almost hit Ao Bai's leg.
And his roommate Rong Tuo, although he had known the situation outside for a long time and wanted to go out to have a look, but he was afraid of being beaten or even beaten to death by Ao Bai, so he was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the house like an ant on a hot pot.
"Ao Bai, has Ji Mo's cub been born?" Xitu asked, holding the little white dragon's leg.
"No, not yet." Ao Bai slammed straight outside the door, clenched his fists with both hands, gritted his teeth, and replied loudly from between his teeth.
Ao Yang, who was making breakfast next to him, greeted: "Xitu, come here, don't disturb him." ”
The little tiger cub jumped over, lowered his voice and asked, "When will Ji Mo give birth to the cub?" ”
Ao Yang casually threw a handful of shrimp into the soup pot and stirred it rudely.
"Not necessarily, the priest knows."
Xitu didn't know about the accident that happened early in the morning, and he jumped excitedly: "Hahaha~ So I'll have a new friend soon, right?" If it's a dragon, I can take him to swim in the lake, and if it's a mermaid, I can invite him to eat preserved fruit~"
Ao Yang raised his eyes and keenly caught the light in the gap in the door leading to the rear observation deck, which was bright and then dim, and then dark and then bright again.
"Xitu, help me watch the fire, this Tang Jimo and his cubs will drink later, if you are hungry, you can grill shrimp and barbecue meat by yourself." Ao Yang assigned a task to the excited little tiger cub.
"Good! No problem, just let me make the soup! Xitu squatted earnestly in front of the fire, and although he yawned a few times from time to time, the anticipation of seeing a new friend supported him in his sleepiness.
Ao Yang stood up and walked to the back observation deck, and when he passed by Ao Bai, who was guarding the door, he patted his brother's shoulder hard to convey some wordless support to him.
"Big brother, help me ask him, don't do it yet, I want to do it myself after I ask clearly." Ao Bai whispered, and he glanced at the back door as well.
The little white dragon had also noticed the strangeness there. Although it is not clear what happened to him, it can be known from everyone's appearance and understanding of Rong Tuo that the ice on the floor outside is absolutely inseparable from Qinglong!
Otherwise, with Rong Tuo's character, he would have to rush out and ask questions as soon as possible to "join in the fun".
The brothers have a naturally deep and wonderful tacit understanding, Ao Yang nodded: "I know, I'll take a look." ”
Ao Bai closed his eyes with a cold expression, and only opened them vigorously after a long time, listening to the painful whimpering of his partner from time to time, it was really heart-wrenching, and he couldn't be distracted to deal with other things at all.
If it weren't for Ta forcefully driving away the pregnant husband's family members who were in the way, and the words were particularly heavy, Ao Bai would not have been willing to come out at all.
*****
Ao Yang gently pushed open the door, then closed it with his backhand, and stood quietly.
Rong Tuo was taken aback, bounced up directly, and immediately ran to the side of the railing, making a gesture to jump into the lake and hide.
He was lying on the floor, conjuring dragon claws and desperately trying to clear the large expanse of ice.
Rong Tuo looked anxious and nervous, and at this time, seeing Ao Yang's obviously unkind appearance, he was about to be scared away.
"I, I'm ......" Rong Tuo swallowed his saliva, crying and speechless.
Ao Yang walked over slowly, looked down at the clearing of the ice on the floor, and at the end, a little on his toes near the railing, pointed out: "This place has not been cleaned yet." ”
Of course Rong Tuo knew, he was interrupted just now when he cleared up to that position.
"Huh?" Ao Yang raised his eyebrows, anger slowly rising.
"The eldest prince, I, I, I originally came out to clean up, you can't beat me...... Of course, you can't drive me away! Rong Tuo said nervously.
Although he has now taken refuge in Ao Bai and has become a dragon in the Sicilian Sea, he admires Ao Yang from the bottom of his heart, and this "big prince" shouts are sincere and respectful.
Ao Yang slammed his fist on the railing, glared angrily, and reprimanded in a low voice: "I'm too lazy to beat you, hurry up and roll over and clean up for me!" Do you still want Ji Mo to fall again? Well? ”
Rong Tuo wiped his face, moved his heart sideways and cautiously, and looked at Ao Yang vigilantly.
"Rubbing what? Hurry up! Ao Yang was angry, grabbed Rong Tuo's arm and threw him to the position of the ice cube, and scolded helplessly: "I will not beat you again, but you must explain the whole thing honestly: Did you make this ice out?" How did you get it? Why are you doing this? ”
Then
"Ahhh I really can't stand it......" Ji Mo's hoarse and desperate cry came from inside again.
Then came the tower's reprimand: "If you can't stand it, you have to bear it!" It's never been so easy to be a mother and father, bear with it! Trust me, when the cub is born, I promise you'll feel like all the pain you've suffered today is worth it! ”
There was also Qing Zhe's comfort in the middle: "Ji Mo, bear with it and listen to the priest." Think about how your cub wants to come out and see you, see his beast father, see the world, just bear with it. ”
……
When Rong Tuo was carried by Ao Yang and thrown to the corner of the wall, his instinctive hand held his head and shrank it, and when he heard the pitiful movement of Ji Mo inside, he was also very uncomfortable and tormented.
"The eldest prince, I swear to the god of the sea, I definitely didn't mean to let Ji Mo fall!" Rong Tuo nervously explained, "I didn't make these ice cubes, oh no, I should have made them-"
Ao Yang gritted his teeth and interrupted: "Yes, yes, no, no!" You speak well to me! ”
You trouble-breaking dragon who will never clean up!
Rong Tuo was so trained that he didn't dare to raise his head, "Yes, I made it." I couldn't sleep last night, and so was Xitu, so we had a joke...... I came out of the window, and brought a curtain of water from the lake to splash it, because he bit me, and maybe, and while he was playing, he accidentally threw water on the floor, and it was a little more, because we had been making a fuss for a long time, and then the water froze......"
When it came to the end, Qinglong was so aggrieved and depressed that he didn't dare to raise his head, and he only felt that he was really unlucky: obviously he didn't have any malice at all, but he actually let Ji Mo fall and fall so badly.
Ao Yang hugged his arms and looked at Rong Tuo with a headache, he really didn't know what to say to discipline him.
"That's how it happened, if you don't believe it, you can ask Xitu, we're really just joking, how do you know that Ji Mo will fall? To say that I did it on purpose, it is absolutely impossible, what am I trying to do? Ji Mo is the female of our Sea Clan, and she is pregnant with the descendants of our Dragon Clan, so I Rong Tuo is not so confused. The one-eyed green dragon anxiously discerned.
It's really hard to explain.
Now it depends on whether Ji Mo can give birth to the child smoothly and safely, if something goes wrong with either side, Ao Bai will definitely go crazy - especially Ji Mo, if Ji Mo has any accident, Rong Tuo feels that he will definitely be killed by Ao Bai.
"Okay, you first quickly clean up all the ice, and then pray to the sea god that Ji Mo's mother and son are safe, otherwise no one will be able to protect you!" Ao Yang knew it even better, and after he put down the reminder, he shook his hand and entered the house.
Rong Tuo was left to stay in the cold wind outside, continuing to clean up the ice, constantly complaining about his bad luck in his heart, but this incident still happened when he wanted to live a good life.
******
When Ao Yang entered, he saw the little tiger cub's very frightened expression, and the hair all over his body was trembling with fear from Ji Mo's scream.
"Ao Yang, Ji Mo, ...... him?" Xitu didn't dare to approach Ao Bai anymore, because the little white dragon's expression was so terrifying, he had to ask Ao Yang.
"It's okay, it's like this when females give birth to cubs, and that's how your mother and father gave birth to you." Ao Yang rubbed the little tiger cub's head and hugged him comfortingly.
"Isn't it? It's scary. Xitu curled up, hid behind Ao Yang, and said in awe.
"Well, so you have to be nice to your mother and father." Ao Yang reminded in a trance.
- Yes, you all have mothers who need to be filial, but I don't, because my mother thinks my existence is a big trouble and can't wait to give me up.
"I will always be good to my mother and father!" The cub secretly shook his claws, further strengthening his determination to be an obedient cub.
*****
The pain is so painful that I can't describe it in words, the pain is unbearable, the pain is heartbreaking, and every second is difficult.
Ji Mo felt that he should be dying at this time, half-rolling his eyes like a dead fish stranded on the shore and being dried by the sun.
"Don't be stunned, keep working hard!" Ta Zhongzhong commanded angrily, and with a force on his palm, Ji Mo was pressed again, and he screamed hoarsely.
Qing Zhe could only do it in a hurry, as a person who came over, he knew that the pain of production was definitely not relieved by coaxing and comforting two sentences, the pain was pain, clear and long, and he could only grit his teeth and carry it.
"Priest of the Tower, if you tell me the truth, will I die?" Ji Mo asked in a desperate whisper, the sides of his head were covered with fine pearls, shining with a little fluorescent light against the firelight, very soft.
"Don't talk nonsense, you can't die with me, I've seen a lot of situations that are more difficult than you!" Ta said confidently.
At this time, of course, you can't hit the other party's enthusiasm and self-confidence, no matter whether it's true or false, the most important thing is to stabilize Ji Mo's love first.
Ao Bai, who couldn't hold back, tried to come in again outside, and the door was almost demolished.
Ta shouted: "Ao Yang, stop him!" Drag him away for me! ”
After a collision and dissuasion, there was calm outside.
"Hmph~ What are you doing in here? It can only add to the chaos! Ta said angrily.
According to the experience of the old priest: under normal circumstances, after the orcs rush in, the female's willpower will collapse for a while, and then the husband and wife will hug their heads and cry for a while, and the cubs will cry so much that they will retract it.
During the short break, Ji Mo also nodded in agreement: "Well, don't let him in, the way I look now is really too wolf, which will damage my image of being handsome and dashing Yushu Linfeng." ”
Ta sneered, "You're still in the mood to joke!" Come on, get ready, I'll press it for you, it's not enough on your own. ”
Ji Mo was so frightened that his pupils instantly dilated again, he gasped sharply, gritted his teeth and prepared to meet the heart-rending pain.
Qing Zhe helped Ji Mo wipe his sweat from time to time, and looked at the mermaid sympathetically: because Ji Mo fell just now, both wrists were red and swollen and bruised - so, he could have grabbed something hard, but he couldn't do it now, so he could only grit his teeth in vain.
After another long period of severe pain, Ji Mo seemed to have just come out of the water, lying wet and panting, and he even began to explain the aftermath:
"Tower priest, if it really doesn't work, please help me keep the child, I want to leave a thought for Ao Bai."
With this attitude of being soft in his heart but desperate to die, Ji Mo suddenly made another ruthless force.
"Shut up!" The old priest withdrew his hand and raised his head, and scolded helplessly, "It's not that time, you are a priest and I am a priest?" ”
Qingzhe suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? This one is for cubs...... Head? ”
Tower hurried to see: Huh? Head? Arms? legs? It's not like it......
Ji Mo muttered in a panic and surprise: "Head? How does the child look? Is there a lot of hair, is it black or not? ”
The surprise and anticipation in an instant condensed the last strength of the mermaid's body, and Ji Mo completely let go, straining his neck and struggling hard.
Finally, with the loud cheers of the two females, the baby was born.
Ao Yang outside was distracted, and Ao Bai vigorously broke free, slammed the door and rushed in.
The little white dragon trembled and asked, "Is Ji Mo okay?" Is he okay? ”
Ta didn't care to answer, he was quickly dealing with Ji Mo's wounds, shouting, "Close the door for me, do you want to frostbite your mermaids and cubs?" ”
Qing Zhe was at a loss to wipe the wet, extremely unfamiliar, and soft little life with animal skin.
"How's the child, the child? Show me. Ji Mo was still awake, and he couldn't wait to ask.
Ao Bai snatched the little life from Qing Zhe's hand, held his breath, hugged it in front of Ji Mo's eyes, the corners of his mouth were so upturned that he couldn't bend down at all, and said extremely reverently:
"Look, these are our kids."
Ji Mo looked over and was instantly stunned-
