The river was wide, and we walked for a long time to get past the pontoon bridge paved by the adopted crocodiles. Adopted sons, like their mothers, walk on the bodies of their companions. The adopted son's body is small, and from time to time it comes to us, stands on our backs, wraps its front legs around our necks, and its mother doesn't care about it, letting it coddle with us.

Xiaoya and Tian Dou were flying in the air, Tian Dou probably thought that the moisture in the air was too heavy, and after flying halfway, he landed on the tail hair of Zhu Dinghong's sister and grabbed a tail hair. Xiaoya is naturally embarrassed not to fly, the crocodiles have already borne such a heavy weight, if she stands on our body again, the crocodiles may not be able to bear it. Therefore, without Tian Dou's company, he flew alone in front of us and guided us the way.

As we walked forward, the adopted crocodiles gradually dispersed, and when we reached the other side, the crocodiles dispersed, most of them disappeared, and the adopted son and her mother accompanied us to the shore.

Similar to the East Coast, the West Bank is mainly rocky, so it is not difficult to walk up and do not worry about getting stuck in the mud. Zhu Dinghong and I walked for a long time, so we didn't feel tired for such a little walk, and the adopted son and his mother climbed from the east bank to the west bank because they were more active in the water, obviously feeling very tired, and the little adopted son didn't want to move when he lay on us.

The adoptive son's mother stayed with us for a while and was about to leave, but the adoptive son was unwilling to leave and wanted to stay with us. His mother did not stop him, but went into the water alone and caught a few fish and threw them over as dinner for his adopted son, and then his mother said goodbye to us and left.

The adopted son and Xiaoya shared this dinner, and the adopted son ate and put it in his mouth after just a few chews and went down, but Xiaoya was different, for fear that the blood would stain his body. Graceful and decent, as if you don't do it, you're sorry for the food. A few fish were quickly eaten, and the adopted son noticed Xiaoya's elegant eating style, shook his head, and went into the river. After a while, he swam ashore with a big fish in his mouth. This time, the adopted son didn't eat a bite, and gave it all to Xiaoya, and when Xiaoya removed the meat from the fish, the adopted son threw the fish head and bones into the river.

As the sun gradually set in the west, Vermilion and I decided to rest on the shore. Make your soft bed, bring out the fruit you brought from the East Coast, and pick the ripe fruit for a feast. Throw all the rotten ones into the river, and continue to take the remaining green skins to eat on the road in case of emergency.

The adopted son brought us a lot of happiness, making us temporarily forget the sadness brought to us by the departure of Peony.

Zhu Dinghong sang a song, and her voice was very soft, like a breeze and drizzle, like a clear stream. Without the accompaniment of peonies, it feels a little cold. We all listened quietly, Xiaoya leaned on my body, the adopted son was lying in Zhu Dinghong's arms, and Tian Dou was standing on Xiaoya's neck.

Late at night, Zhu Dinghong's song gradually stopped, and Xiaoya and her adopted son gradually fell asleep. Zhu Dinghong and I couldn't sleep. We talked about the adopted crocodile, and Zhu Dinghong said:

"It's not fair for us to call crocodiles fish. ”

"Why?" I asked, puzzled.

"They're not fish, they're dinosaurs, and they're far more intelligent and socialized than many dinosaurs. Zhu Dinghong said.

"yes," I said. "They know how to repay their kindness, there is no hierarchy, the leader does not rely on force, they get along with each other on an equal footing, and they can unite as one, these things are difficult for us red-haired dinosaurs to do. ”

It's funny to think that they became leaders because they could tell stories.

"In that case, they should have a dragon name. Zhu Dinghong said.

"Quite agree," I said, "have you already thought about it?"

"It's called the pack dragon," said Zhu Dinghong, "and they can take the initiative to carry us across the river, which is enough to show their wisdom, and the story of what happened today will be an allusion in the future." ”

"Well said," I said, "but whether it is an adopted crocodile or a dragon, they are all related to us, and whether or not this name can be called is mainly ours." ”

Zhu Dinghong was a little puzzled.

I had to add:

"As the saying goes, 'green leaves lined with safflower', because of safflower, the green leaves have become unusual, and there are more green leaves in the world, because there is no safflower to attach, so it can only be obscure. ”

Zhu Dinghong realized a little and muttered:

"Looks like we're going to have to do something. ”

The heat in the water gradually dissipated, the temperature gradually cooled, Zhu Dinghong no longer spoke, probably because of the fear of cold, leaning towards me vigorously, her unique fragrance continued to inhale my viscera, making me more and more awake. I got up slowly, covered my soft bed and the soft bed left by Peony for Zhu Dinghong and my adopted son, and walked along the shore by the faint moonlight.

The waves were not big, as if they were going to sleep, the river seemed very flat, and the moonlight shone on it, and there seemed to be a lot of fish swimming on the water, which I knew was an illusion, and I heard that the fish would rest in the water at night.

But I couldn't sleep.

The one who thinks about it the most is the peony. I didn't want to mention it in front of Zhu Dinghong, because I was worried that she would be too sad. In the more than one time we have been together, we have rarely been separated, even if we are separated for a short time, we can meet soon, but this time we are separated and it is difficult to see each other again. Peony soon became the leader of the Swallowing Tribe, and many things in the tribe needed him to face alone, and there was nothing special about it, as the leader, he could never leave the tribe. And I can't go back to the pharyngeal tribe again and again.

Farewell, Swallow Tribe, farewell, Peony.

I hope that everything will be fine with the Pharyngeal Tribe, and I hope that Peony can govern the Pharyngeal Tribe well and be a good tribal leader.

From today, I set foot on a new land. This is the west, where sixteen tribes of red-haired dinosaurs live, but whether they are murmuring or gorgeous, they rarely interact with them because they are separated by rivers and canyons, so they are rarely passed on to their customs, historical evolution, etc.

I don't know if they will welcome us, and if this new land will be my place to live.

"Brother, why don't you sleep?"

I was startled, and when I turned around, Zhu Dinghong was standing behind me, staring at me blankly.

"Why don't you sleep?" I replied.

"I can't sleep either. Zhu Dinghong said.

"Then let's go for a walk together. I said. (To be continued......)
