Chapter 35 Age of Marriage
As the night wore on, Nahi had fallen asleep, and the hunt had just begun for the Culens and Theo. The mountains and forests are endless, and they are the most wanton hunting grounds. Darkness is not an issue, not even by the undulating and rugged nature of space, they have been in the crowd for too long, and they are in dire need of indulgence and pleasure.
From time to time, frightened birds soared into the dark forest, and the bushes trembled, and occasionally the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and the miserable neighing of beasts could be heard. Without any skill or talent, only sheer strength and speed, fluttering, overwhelming, fangs biting through the bones, swallowing with urgency and greed, this is the only ugliness beneath their elegant exterior, and the only weakness under their great strength. They suck blood, depend on it, are kings at the top of the food chain, and are demons on the edge of hell.
One by one, the corpses fell, and the black color representing hunger finally faded and turned into a pale gold of abundance. Several figures flew back to the villa, replacing the family guarding Nahi, the still dark-eyed figures walked outside the house, looked at each other and smiled, a few leaps disappeared into the forest, and a new round of killing began...
When Nahi woke up, the sun had already risen, and the breeze brought the moist breath of the lake, and he took a deep breath, as if there were a pool of blue waves in his chest and lungs, and a patch of emerald green. Stretching crookedly on the bed, well, it's so comfortable.
There was a chuckle at the end of the bed, and Dmitry stood there, his warm golden eyes soft and intoxicating.
"Morning, my baby~"
Nahi let out a wail and put her head under the covers, "Why did you get in!" ”
"Hey, Dmitry, watch what you say and do, we're all listening!" Edward's voice was annoyed and warned.
"Come on, you don't visit Bella's boudoir at night much?" Emmett unceremoniously dismantled his stage, and then was immediately besieged by several people, and her mouth was also covered, and she could only let out a muffled snort.
Dmitry approached the bedside and picked up the little girl with the quilt. The quilt writhed like a silkworm chrysalis, struggling for half a sound to no avail, and then lay on his shoulder and did not move.
"Alright, don't get bored." Digging out the little head from the quilt and kissing the red face with pity, Dmitry was full of softness, and he wanted to marry Nahi home immediately, and watch her wake up like this every day.
"You let me down first..."Nahi was extremely embarrassed, only to feel that her current appearance was a mess, and it was too embarrassing to be looked at.
How could Dmitry not see the little girl's thoughts, and whispered in her ear: "My Nehi, always so beautiful." ”
The little face in his arms turned even redder, the chrysalis began to writhe again, and Dmitry laughed and shook off the quilt and lowered her to the ground. The little girl immediately ran into the bathroom and locked the door, and did not come out for a long time.
Nahi's face was still red when she went downstairs, and she didn't dare to look at the teasing laughter of the elders, so she could only hold the cup and drink the milk wildly, shrinking like a little milk cat, but her eyes were wide. The ladies were so cute that their blood grooves were empty, and they couldn't wait to go up and snort and rub them.
Everyone had drunk enough last night, and today is mainly for entertainment. No need to wait for a roaring thunderstorm and no need to worry about being noticed by humans, everyone can exercise and have fun.
There were a lot of people coming this time, Carlisle turned out baseball and tennis, and Nahi was not very good at either, and he was afraid of being accidentally injured by their missile-like attack, so he planned to go swimming in the lake, but was attracted by the Tious and his wife, who were building ships.
Mr. Tio used to be a carpenter in the town, but after becoming a vampire, he has a lot of time and energy, and every time he wants to dig out his own home, he will dig it out by hand. I was most excited to come here this time, and I looked up and down the house a few times, and discussed a lot of details of the construction with Carlisle.
"I didn't build a boat..."This is the only place he regrets, such a big lake, it is a waste not to take a boat to fish.
Madame Theo did not understand the modern sport, and gave Mr. Theo a hand on the side.
There are no modern high-end electrical equipment, just a few old guys who take advantage of it, large and small, and oddly shaped. Seeing that Nahi's eyes were full of curiosity, Mr. Tio cut down two fine logs as easily as he broke sugar cane, and explained to Nahi the purpose of various tools.
Remio had previously apprenticed Mr. Tio as a carpenter, and this time he also came to help, as a newborn, he was much more powerful than ordinary vampires, and at this moment he dragged a huge piece of wood and carried it to the track of two joiners at Mr. Theo's request.
Lying down, the half-man-tall giant tree was dead and heavy, and Nahi couldn't even push it, and Lemuel couldn't lift it easily, and after putting it down, he bared his teeth and shook his arms. His eyes were still dangerously brownish-red, but he was clearly well fed, his mood was steady, and his expression was relaxed. When he passed by Nahi, he tried to reach out and rub his head, but Dmitry, who was overly nervous, slapped him and fell into the lake with a bang, making a huge splash.
"Damn-" Remio wiped the water from his face, all of which were shattered, and stared at Dmitry incredulously, not knowing what nerves he was experiencing.
"Stay away from Nahi." Demeter was expressionless inside, with a warning in his eyes.
Only then did Remio remember that he was still a dangerous person to Nahi, and while gritting his teeth and hanging his head, he crawled out of the water in three or two times, and said sorry to Nahi, who was covering his mouth in surprise, and shook his hand and swung his axe.
Both Tiou and his wife laughed and shook their heads, and continued their work. The vampire's balance and control are the best tools, and the seemingly random moves are carried with the most appropriate strength and proportion. As soon as they shoveled here and planed there, the logs obediently shed their bark and shook off the debris, and large and small pieces of waste fell off, gradually revealing the shape of a canoe.
Nahi's eyes lit up with relish, and he felt that it wasn't too difficult, so he picked up a piece of scrap that was the length of his little arm and began to make his own model of the boat. She followed Monsieur Theo's steps, digging cavities, chiseling out the shape of the ship, thinning the walls of the ship, and polishing the hull.
In the middle of the day, Esme called her to lunch, and she ate in a hurry, and finally completed her model before Mr. Tio's canoe was launched.
The bow of the boat is thin and pointy, but the belly of the boat is fat and bulging, which is different from the flat-headed and flat-bottomed boats that Nashi remembers to see, more like rowing boats in competitive sports, or even paper boats stacked by children. The light color of the log, with its own layers of lines, after brushing with clear oil, the color has more enamel maroon brilliance.
Although almost 20 times smaller in size, Nahi's boat doesn't look as elaborate and regular as a large canoe. Putting it into the water and stumbling, it seems that it will not be able to hold the boat capsized in a few more seconds. However, Nahi is still satisfied, and this is the first time she has done a handicraft work on her own.
Unable to put it down for a long time, Nahi carried it upstairs, dried and wrapped it, and prepared to put it in the bag, and saw the tablet still lying quietly in the corner of the bag.
Finished! Patronizing and playing, I haven't touched my homework yet.
Downstairs, everyone was discussing how to go back.
Dmitry was adamantly opposed to returning the way he came, and he was haunted by the painful expression on Nehi's numb hands.
"You go back directly, we'll rent a car when we cross the border." Edward proposed.
It's more than 300 kilometers from Seattle, and even if you start driving from the border, it will take you five or six hours to go back, and it won't be comfortable to sit in the car all the time, Dmitry still frowns.
"I'll get in touch to see if I can rent a private jet." He got up and went out on the phone.
Edward and Bella looked at each other, and both saw the exclamation in each other's eyes, Dmitry really had nothing to say to Nahi.
"It's an appointment, it's a helicopter, the take-off and landing conditions are lower, and it will be picked up from Yuri Town at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Thank you—" Edward's thanks were sincere, and he wasn't even sure who could do a better job of taking care of Nahi than Dmitry.
Dmitry raised his eyebrows, with doubts in his eyes, and a kind of displeasure that bordered on being offended, "Why thank you." ”
"Thank you for taking such good care of our Nahi," Edward was very moved to hear his thoughts, but deliberately teased him.
Dmitry's brows furrowed, pierced by the expression "our Nahi". Yes, Nahi is still theirs, they deserve to live with Naihi, live together day and night, protect her and love her as a matter of course, and even thank her for the care of others. And he, too, is an outsider.
He doesn't want that! No!
"When can I marry her?" The hoarse voice was full of suppressed emotions, and his voice was low, but it made the surroundings quiet.
Cullen and Theo, of course, are happy to see the two of them develop, but getting married?
"She's only five years old! At this age, you should still be eating lollipops in kindergarten, how can you marry someone. "Bella, who is not a vampire yet, is still a human mind, no matter how old the half-vampire daughter looks, five years old is five years old, and she should be well protected and loved by her parents.
"That said, we don't have enough babies yet!" Rosely, who usually lives in the store, has not seen much with Naxi recently, and even though she has accepted Dmitry from the bottom of her heart, she still doesn't want to give Naxi away so quickly.
Carlisle and Esme had always respected the children's own ideas, and Alice seemed to have foreseen something, but laughed silently.
Edward had some headaches, and most of the people in their family were typical of late marriages, and they really hadn't faced such a problem.
"Be fair, Bella, she's about to be a sophomore in high school, and Carlisle checked her up a while ago and said she's sixteen, which is about the same age we met. Rossly, in your time, Nahi was already married at her age. Edward couldn't help but speak for his friend, but he didn't intend to grant his wish right away: "But not now, at least wait until high school graduation like we do."
After graduating from high school, that is eight years old, which is also the adult age given by the Mapuche half-breed. It's not... That's acceptable.
Bella and Rossley struggled for a while, and reluctantly nodded.
Although Dmitry is anxious, he also knows that this is the limit of the Karen family of his daughter slave, and it is of course a good thing to have such a family that loves her with all his heart and lungs, and thanks to them, Nehi can be so bright and happy in this life.
