Within the tribes of the Eastern Continent

The former patriarch, Kamon, walked through the small square of the tribe with a heavy heart and hurried steps, and he prepared to go to Sig.

"Isn't it? How could Qing Zhe be that kind of female? ”

A raised voice of surprise suddenly reached Carmon's ears, and he subconsciously stopped, standing behind a stone house, listening to the conversation of the group of females basking in the sun and chatting with their cubs in the square in front of him.

"How do I know, I also listened to Xiaoluo."

"Hey, hey, hey~ It's better not to spread this kind of unfounded thing, Qingzhe is pitiful enough, if this matter is a misunderstanding, then how sad he is to know."

"Is his pity a reason to indulge in profligacy and hook up with the dragon? He lost his fertility, that's a fact, right? I didn't wronged him! "This young female is just a little down.

Xiaoluo was persuaded by several older females for a few words, and felt that she couldn't hold her face, so she was even more aggrieved and said loudly: "What do you mean by this? Lately, everyone has been saying this, and I'm not the only one who is spreading it, so why do you make it seem like it's all my fault? Since he Qingzhe took the initiative to go to the holy lake to live with the evil dragon, then he is not the female of our tribe-"

"Shut up!" After going out to pick several spices together, Vize and Xingda heard that their friend Qingzhe was slandered and smeared like this, and they immediately ran over and pushed Xiaoluo hard, causing the young female who was originally sitting to fall on the stone slab, and the other party immediately cried.

Xingda glared angrily at the females on the scene, and then pointed to Xiaoluo's nose and scolded:

"Xiaoluo, you mouthy, tongue-talking! What qualifications do you have to say that Qingzhe is not the female of our tribe? Qing Zhe's mother and beast father are still there, you dare to arrange their children like this, if they hear it, it will be light to beat you! Qingzhe and Xitu were coerced by the evil dragon, they could have stayed in the tribe and didn't go to the holy lake, but their mother and son didn't want to involve the orcs who went to the dense forest to hunt, so they had to go to the holy lake. ”

Wei Ze relayed angrily and rebuked: "Xiaoluo, I really didn't think you were such a female, Qing Zhe taught you how to sew clothes and boots, make zuò dried fruits and dried meat, and also taught you to recognize spices and herbs in barbecue and stew, have you even forgotten all of this?" Qing Zhe really shouldn't help a female like you! ”

"You hit me...... You call me woo-woo...... What's the matter with me? Everyone is saying, and I'm not the only one saying it, if Qingzhe didn't hook up with the evil dragon, how could there be such ugly words, the land female is actually involved with the ocean dragon, and everyone is not allowed to say it-"

Chatting about gossip is usually an activity to pass the time or get closer to the relationship, and now that it has become like this, other females have opened their mouths to dissuade them.

Xingda is well versed in how to deal with this kind of occasion, he doesn't pay attention to other females at all, just for the little one who was caught on the spot and said bad things about Qingzhe and ruined his reputation, anyway, this female is quite average-minded, and he has been mouthy and arrogant since he was a child, and many females can't stand him anymore.

Camon listened to the more and more commotion over there, and there were no adult orcs patrolling here, so he had to walk out.

"That's it! That's enough! He yelled.

Although it was the previous patriarch, Yu Wei was still there, and all the females immediately quieted down.

"What are you doing here? Why Qingzhe and Xitu were forced to leave the tribe and live in exile, the reason is very clear to everyone, he is a very brave female, and the cubs he taught are also very sensible, you are also females, you can think about it, if it were replaced by you, how many would you be willing to face the evil dragon? You're all idle to do, aren't you? Have the straw ropes and baskets arranged by the tribe been braided? Carmon said in a fierce voice.

The females all shrunk and lowered their heads, although their hearts were extremely disdainful: Hmph~ Isn't the female who snatched Qingzhe's partner your child? What are you going to pack now? Shameless~

Carmon strode away after a fire, feeling very uncomfortable, of course he knew how the tribe people treated him and his wife, but what could he do? All the things that shouldn't have been done have been done.

Because of Kari, the support and prestige he had gained after working so hard as a patriarch for so long had almost been ruined.

Sighing as he walked, he heard a violent quarrel as he reached a short distance from Higg and Karry's stone house.

It's basically the sharp and sad voice of his own child Kari.

Carmon's heart is about to break when he is old.

"Go, go! If I stop it, I won't be called Kari! ”

Hig said patiently: "Kari, you don't know, even if I am the patriarch, I must participate in the hunt from time to time, otherwise the clansmen will have opinions, I haven't gone into the jungle to hunt for a long time." ”

"Haha~ Really? Are you sure you want to go into the jungle to hunt instead of taking the opportunity to go to the holy lake to see Qingzhe? Also, do you think I don't know that you secretly sent the captured beast meat and skins to Tory and Joe to Qingzhe's mother and son? What about me and my cubs? You've never thought about us! Kari cried out in tears.

Higg's face was also full of pain, his patience was about to be exhausted by endless quarrels, but Kari's belly was already very large, and the priest repeatedly told him not to provoke him, the cub should be born soon.

"Karry, what did you say in the first place? Didn't you say that even if I was separated from Cheong-cheol and before he found a new partner, I could still take care of their mother and son in terms of food? Xitu is just a cub, he can't hunt alone, should they starve their mother and son to death in the cold season? Higg said almost pleadingly.

Kari leaned on the bed with his stomach in his hands, his complexion was very bad, and he gasped violently after saying a few words, "Then what did you say in the first place?" You obviously promised that after you became a partner with me, you would get my consent for every contact you made with Qingzhe's mother and son, so have you done it now? You just sneaked behind my back to contact Qingzhe! ”

The partner was snatched hard, and Kari was always lacking in confidence. He couldn't be as generous and tolerant as he imagined, and from the beginning of his love, he loved Higg to the point of madness, almost demonic, and then squeezed into his eyes and his life, in exchange for endless quarrels and cold wars.

Higg froze, and he explained with difficulty: "It's not that I don't want to sue you, but you lose your temper when you hear Qingzhe's name, and I can't do anything about it because of your arguing-"

"You're talking nonsense woo woo woo~ It's clear that you did something sorry for me with a weak heart, otherwise why did you sneak around? Higg, are you worthy of me? Worthy of our cubs? Kari gasped even harder, and his face was full of tears, which was completely different from the shy, innocent and obedient appearance he had at the beginning.

Higg didn't want to quarrel any longer, he simply turned around and went out, it was too late to set off to hunt in the jungle now, he was a patriarch who finally went to hunt once, if there was no gain, it was really no face at all.

Carmon couldn't take it anymore, he pushed the door open, and two males, who were also tall, resolute and silent, looked at each other for a moment, mixed with the bitter weeping and cursing of the females in betweeping.

Relatively speechless for a while, after a long time, Carmon hurriedly dodged in and dropped a sentence: "Higg, you wait a while, I'll go in and say a few words to Kari and come out to find you." ”

"Whew~" Higg leaned wearily against the wall, "Okay, Father." ”

I don't know what Carmon said when he went in, the crying in the room gradually stopped, and Carmon quickly walked out again, and Kahari's nervous advice came from behind: "Beast Father, you must help me keep an eye on Xige, don't let him get close to the holy lake!" ”

"Hmm~ stop crying, be careful of the cubs." Carmon didn't look at Higg, he turned back to soothe his female child before calling Higg in the direction of the forest.

The two orcs walked side by side in silence, both in very complicated moods, and after a long time, Carmon said dissatisfiedly:

"Higg, you are the orc warrior of the Tiger Clan, I hope you can keep your promise and treat my child well, now that you have become a partner, Kari and the cub will depend on you to take care of it in the future."

"I know, Father, that I have chosen my own path, and I will not turn back. It's just Kari...... He's been so, too much of a fuss lately. Higg said bitterly.

It's not that he doesn't want to turn back, it's that he can't turn back, and if he doesn't get along well with Kari again, he'll be lonely and old in the future, and there's no way a female wants to follow him.

Carmon sighed: "Try to be tolerant and understand him, females with cubs are always uncomfortable, Kari is a bit willful, but that's always there, you should know." ”

Higg didn't speak, he was physically and mentally exhausted. Recently, I always think of Qingzhe, miss his gentle smiling face, his roasted meat stewed soup, and the way he always stands behind him and silently supports him to do things away from home.

Heh~ Who said that abandoning a partner is not punished? The beast god just didn't say it, I'm living so much pain now, this is the punishment that the beast god gave me.

Carmon looked at the silence all around, and then Zhengse discussed the matter with the current patriarch.

"Higg, are the dragon fruits ready? How many pearls can I get back this time? Don't be careless, we took a lot of risk by making a deal with those cunning dragons in private, and if it weren't for the life-saving pearl, I wouldn't have agreed to those dragons' requests. ”

"It's all ready, at least you can exchange it for about a bamboo tube of pearls, the exchange location is on our land, the warriors have already arranged, even if those dragons are strong, they don't dare to do it in the dense forest." Higg cheered up, and the two orcs, who had mastered the most top-secret events of the tribes in the Eastern Continent, began to secretly discuss the arrangements for the next sea and land exchange days.

*****

The water of the sacred lake is deep enough and the bottom of the lake is very warm.

It was already sunny outside, but due to the funnel shape of the holy lake, the reef cave where Ji Mo and Ao Bai were resting was still dim.

The merfolk were still asleep, the strips of cloth and sticks on their arms had been removed, and in the blink of an eye, they had been on land for more than half a month.

In his sleep, Ji Mo returned to the scene when he swam thousands of miles from the East China Sea to the Sicilian Sea, he swam side by side with the dragon-shaped Ao Bai, and when he was tired of swimming, he could ride on the back of the white dragon to rest for a while, and when they were particularly bored, they would play and make trouble, usually with their tails and shooting each other.

"Hahaha~" The mermaid quickly flicked its tail and smashed the white dragon, and then swam forward desperately.

Ao Bai quickly caught up, he blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't slap you with my tail again, you are already pregnant with my child, it will be bad if it hurts your stomach." ”

"Bang", Ji Mo suddenly flicked his tail and woke up from his sleep, he sat on the bed in a daze, the reef cave was quiet, and he was the only mermaid.

Gently covering his palm in his lower abdomen, feeling the small lump of meat that raised at some point, Ji Mo calmly comforted himself: "It should be that I have basically not exercised recently, and I have eaten a lot, fat, Qingzhe's stewed soup and grilled fish and shrimp are eaten every day, and those foods are wasted if you are not fat." ”

He let out a sigh and slowly swam out of the reef and toward the surface of the lake.

Ever since Ao Bai touched the piece of meat on his partner's stomach that was slowly bulging, he had become extremely diligent.

Early in the morning, he took the initiative to call Xitu, a dragon and a little tiger into the dense forest around the holy lake, caught a lot of prey, and is now busy cleaning up wild beasts on a piece of grass specially divided to collect prey.

Under the joyful desire and implicit pray, he actually slowly overcame the shortcomings of not liking the smell of land beasts, and he was very busy every day, because he heard Qingzhe say that animal bone stew is good for bone wound healing, so he has now learned the craft of bone broth.

"Why is he so positive?" Ao Yang helped Qingzhe divide all the raw meat piled up into small pieces, which is convenient for directly marinating raw or steaming and drying into stored jerky.

"Uh~" Qing Zhe looked up at Ao Bai, who couldn't help but smile and was dealing with his prey at that time, and said uncertainly: "It should be for Ji Mo, you know, he has already affirmed that his mermaid is pregnant with cubs, so he prepared so much food, just now he also asked me to help sew Ji Mo a few thick cold season clothes, saying that it was convenient for Ji Mo to go ashore to wear it and come to talk to me......"

Ao Yang immediately furrowed his brows, and he said sullenly, "What does that mean?" Cold season? Snow? Ao Bai said before that Ji Mo's shoulder injury was healed, and they would return to the Sicilian Sea. ”

cough cough~ Listening to the little white dragon's plan, how did it seem that he was going to live in the holy lake with his mermaid for a long time and not leave......

Qing Zhe gently persuaded: "Ji Mo's shoulder is very seriously injured, it has been broken twice, you think about it, it is not easy for him to be a mermaid, I heard him say that the two of them came to the Holy Lake from the Sicilian Sea and were lost for a long time and suffered a lot, alas~ They all call you big brother and respect you very much, just let Ji Mo completely heal from his injury before leaving, they will not forget your help." ”

Ao Yang said expressionlessly: "If you like, just leave them, I don't care, as long as they follow the rules and don't have any conflicts with the nearby land orcs." ”

You're the master of the Sacred Lake—oh no, the Sacred Lake is our land orcs, but it should be Ao Yang now? No, no, the sacred lake was originally a land orc......

Qing Zhe accidentally fell into a whirlpool of thoughts, and he couldn't bother to answer Ao Yang for the time being, and he was horrified to find that his position was becoming less and less firm.

"Ao Bai~" Ji Mo slowly swam to the shore of the lake, standing barefoot on the stone slab, he couldn't put on straw shoes for himself.

"Are you finally awake?" Ao Bai immediately put down the beast in his hand, he hurried to the shore of the lake, carefully washed the blood stains on his hands before approaching Ji Mo, took out his straw sandals from the basket next to him, squatted down and put them on him.

Ji Mo's hand gently supported Ao Bai's shoulder to stabilize his figure, raised his foot and asked the other party to help put on his shoes, and he whispered abruptly, "Am I the last one to get up?" Next time, remember to wake me up early. ”

"It doesn't matter, you just treat this place as the Sicilian Sea, and everyone won't laugh at you, you can start whenever you want." Ao Bai couldn't help but gently touch his partner's lower abdomen, felt the bulging part, and imagined that there was a little mermaid or dragon in it at this time. ”

The crossing fish felt it, but he began to walk in the direction of the cabin as if nothing had happened.

"Qingzhe, big brother, are you all busy making jerky?" Ji Mo walked over first to say hello, but he tried to stand upwind as much as possible, avoiding the fishy smell of raw meat wafting in the wind - as for the reason, he attributed it to the sudden smell of this smell in the early morning and was a little disgusting.

"Well, did you sleep well? Be careful, don't use too much force in your hands, and finally remove the strip of cloth, this time you must be completely raised. Qing Zhe told with concern, he had already seen the other party's dodging action when he smelled the smell of raw meat, but he didn't poke it, just said a few words and sent him to eat.

Ji Mo held his breath and didn't start to breathe fresh air until he was far away.

Pregnant with cubs or something......

There are some things that he can't accept in a short time, and he will choose to pretend to be an ostrich for a while, let himself think about it carefully, and then willingly figure it out and accept it.

Ao Bai had already put out a hearty breakfast, which was warm meat and bone broth, fresh fish and shrimp, as well as a few fruits and a few pieces of jerky.

"Ji Mo, come over and eat, I hope you can eat all these things." Pressing his partner down on a wooden pier, Ao Bai began to supervise the daily food plan.

“…… I'll try my best, you go and get busy, Ao Bai, don't worry about me, I'll eat slowly by myself. Traversing Fish gasped at the sight of the food on the table, and he immediately looked around for the little tiger cub.

Xitu, who was polishing a few bone knives, looked at Ao Bai, swallowed his saliva and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Ji Mo, I can't secretly help you eat anymore, both mother and father and Ao Bai said that you are pregnant with a cub and you need to eat a lot of food, otherwise the cub will not grow fast enough......"

Ji Mo immediately covered up his embarrassment with a dry smile: "Hahaha~ Xitu, are you sharpening a bone knife?" Looks like it's almost grinding, isn't it? You're a good little tiger! ”

Ao Bai smiled and did not speak, with a faint urging and banter in his eyes.

"Yes, it's almost sharpened, this one is for my mother and father, this one is for you, and I don't know if you mermaids need bone knives." Seetu simply and happily showed off the two bone knives he had made to be long enough for a female to grasp.

"Then thank you in advance, yes, I sometimes cut barbecue meat and grilled fish or something." Ji Mo started eating fruit first, and he didn't dare to look at Ao Bai.

Xitu also persuaded: "Then you should eat quickly, when you finish eating, the bone knife should be sharpened." ”

Ao Bai pushed the fish and shrimp in front of his partner again, and said very firmly:

"I'm sure you'll try to finish it, so I'm not looking at you Ji Mo, you eat slowly!" After saying that, he really stood up and walked to Ao Yang's side to help.

Left, Ji Mo struggled with the anorexic villain in his heart - did he want to live up to Ao Bai's trust and pour the soup back into the stone pot halfway? But he said that he believed that I would try to finish it, and alas, who would have to eat so much in the morning, and not a pig, eating too much hurts his stomach!

Holding the idea of a scientific diet, Ji Mo calmly took advantage of no one's attention to get the meat and bones in the soup back to the stone pot several large pieces.

After Ao Bai consciously thought it through, he walked up to Ao Yang and asked in a low but clear voice:

"Big brother, Ji Mo and I want to stay in your territory for a little longer, is it okay?"

“？” Ao Yang raised an eyebrow simply.

Ao Bai looked back and happened to see the scene where Ji Mo secretly put the meat and bones back into the stone pot, he sighed, and could only act as if he hadn't seen it.

"Big brother, it's like this, Ji Mo is now pregnant with my child, the cold season has arrived, his shoulder injury is recovering slowly, I really can't take him back to the Sicilian Sea, the most important thing is that once we return to the Sicilian Sea, neither of us knows how to deliver babies, don't know how to take care of the newborn little mermaid or dragon......"

Ao Yang said slowly, "I don't have a priest here. ”

"But Qingzhe, he, he, his cub Xitu is already so old." Ao Bai immediately looked at Qing Zhe for help, anyway, he just couldn't go, and when he went back to Fenghai, he really didn't know who to find to help deliver the baby.

"I—I won't, the tribe is all about priests helping." Qingzhe said with some embarrassment.

Ao Bai said earnestly: "You don't know more than me and Ji Mo, help us this time, I really have no choice." His hands clasped nervously, very worried about rejection.

Before Ji Mo was injured and conceived a child, Xiao Bailong thought that even if there were only three sea orcs in the Sicilian Sea, he could live well, but now that the turtle Hu entered hibernation, he had no choice when he encountered these problems - instead of hunting the fierce shark with strength and diligence, it was related to the safety of his mermaid and future children.

Seeing that Ao Yang and Qing Zhe didn't nod, Ao Bai hurriedly said: "I will help with things when I stay, whether it is animal meat or animal skin, fruit or dry firewood, all leave it to me!" ”

"That's not what it meant." Ao Yang raised his hand to stop it, and said seriously: "I understand your feelings, but Ao Bai, I really don't have a priest here, and Qingzhe is not a priest, you can stay, but we don't dare to guarantee that your partner and the young dragon are absolutely safe, understand?" ”

Qingzhe could only promise: "I will do my best to help you take care of him, as for the cubs...... I can only take one step at a time, because I really don't know how the mermaids in the sea give birth to dragons or little mermaids. ”

Ao Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "That's enough, thank you!" ”

If you really can't do it, you can only go to the nearby tribe and find a way to "invite" a priest to come over.

*****

After the arrangement of the exchange day was completed, Higg and Kamon walked into the depths of the dense forest by the way, preparing to catch some prey and go back.

However, they were very unlucky today, and they actually faced a small group of beasts.

Higg's scalp tingled, Carmon looked at his surroundings a little anxiously, and after a moment of stalemate, the two sides wrestled together
