I May Be a Dummy - Chapter 38
With Han Zhan’s assurance, Dong Zai felt relieved for the time being. He opened his small hand and hugged his brother’s arm, feeling sleepy.
Han Zhan squeezed Dongzai’s face, “Zizai hasn’t told my brother what did you dream of.”
But, but Zai Zai can’t remember well.
Dong Zai frowned, “Xi Zai seems to have dreamed of his brother and Uncle Ai.”
As he said, Dong Zai flat his mouth, “But there is no dad.”
“anything else?”
Dongzai was so sleepy that he rubbed his eyes, “I also dreamed that my brother was fighting with the bad dragon.”
Han Zhan was startled slightly, he lowered his eyes, and the little mermaid in his arms was already asleep. Han Zhan held up his soft tail and hugged him onto the stone bed.
The hard and icy stone bed is not as soft and comfortable as the shell bed, and the winter cub curled up with his little tail, watching the aggrieved.
Han Zhan watched quietly for a while, then picked up the little mermaid again and put it in his arms.
Dong Zai’s small face was pressed to his chest, and his pink lips were slightly opened, just like a baby in a mother’s body, breathing if there is no such thing, and spitting out small bubbles from time to time.
It was light, Dong Zai slapped her mouth, and woke up with a stare, “Dad, Zai Zai is hungry.”
“Huh?” Dong Zai shrugged his nose, his brother’s breath.
Han Zhan chuckled in a low voice, his voice was dumb, “Has Zai Zai dreamed of his brother this time?”
Dong Zai was a little confused, “Xi Zai didn’t dream~”
Han Zhan looked at the dazed little mermaid and couldn’t help thinking, “Really don’t remember?”
“Zubzai?” Jiali probably found that Dongzai was no longer in the hut, so she swam out to find him, “Zubzai, where are you?”
“Dad, Dad!” Dong Zai jumped out of his brother’s arms, wagging his little tail, and swam out the door, “Xi Zai is here!”
Jiali caught the cheerful little mermaid, wondering, “When did Zai Zai go to my brother’s house?”
Lei Zhe swam out of the house and glanced at Han Zhan through the window sill. He straightened his face and said, “Baby.”
Dong Zai turned his head and shouted sweetly: “Dad, Zai Zai is hungry~”
Lei Zhe’s eyes showed a bit of helplessness, “Next time you are not allowed to sneak out at night, I hear you!”
Dong Zai looked dejected, “Okay, Zai is obedient.”
After hearing this, Jia Li couldn’t laugh, he squeezed Dong Zai, “Little guy, slipped out to play again, hey? Zazai, you are heavier again, have you grown taller?”
Dong Zai is very sensitive to the words “heavy” and “fat” recently. He puffed up his cheeks, flicked his little tail and patted Jiali’s father’s palm, “bad father.”
“Don’t make trouble, eat fish.” Jia Li stuffed a processed big head fish into his arms.
Dong Zai buried his head on the fish while listening to the two fathers chatting.
Jiali seemed to smile, “Oh, Ellie is back? She didn’t haunt you, right?”
Lei Zhe said helplessly, “Don’t think about it, I will let her and Kyle stay in the Great Ditch, and I will have to go there after a while.”
Jiali glared at him, “No, it will be the rainy season in two months. Do you still want to spend the breeding period in the Great Ditch?”
Lei Zhe was stunned for a while, probably because he didn’t expect this problem.
Unknowingly, another year passed.
The rainy season in the sea is warm and humid, which is very suitable for mermaids to multiply. The reproduction period lasts about two to three months, and single adult fish will become irritable and restless during this period.
Therefore, the reproduction period is also the courtship period of mermaids. At this time, the adult fish will become agitated and start looking for a partner. As long as they meet their eyes, they will quickly become partners.
Feelings come and go in a hurry. After the reproduction period, some mermaids regained their single status and waited for the reproduction period to arrive in the next year.
But like Kyle, there are few who left their partners and mermaid cubs during the reproduction period.
Of course, there are very few mermaids who can only stay single because they can’t find a suitable partner, such as Ai Rui.
Jiali calmly thought about it, “Or you don’t go, or I’ll go with you, and you can leave it to Han Zhan at that time.”
With a partner by his side, the mermaid’s irritability will be greatly slowed down. Jiali doesn’t want Lei Zhe to be with him when he is uncomfortable with other mermaids.
Lei Zhe looked at Jiali with tender eyes, he held Jiali’s hand, “Okay.”
Jiali frowned suddenly, “However, what if Han Zhan finds a partner during the reproduction period?”
Hearing his brother’s name, Dong Zai quietly pricked his ears.
“No.” Lei Zhe said lightly, “If he can’t even handle this, what qualifications does he have…”
Speaking of this, Lei Zhe covered Dongzai’s head with his big hand, “Hurry up and eat.”
Jiali felt that she was worried about his cubs.
Han Zhan is currently the best single mermaid he has ever seen. Once the reproduction period comes, it is estimated that he will be pursued by many female merfolk.
His cubs just play around all day, and they still don’t know how to catch fish, so they are so anxious.
“Don’t think about it for now.” Lei Zhe got up and said, “I’m going to the sea later.”
Dong Zai didn’t know his father’s worries at all. Hearing Lei Zhe’s father said he was going to the sea to check the situation, he dropped the half-eaten bighead fish and hugged his father’s arm tightly, “Cub also went to play.”
Jiali picked up the little mermaid and laughed angrily. He was still thinking about playing when it was time. He took a deep breath of sea water, “After eating the fish, I can play!”
“I know.” Dong Zai picked up the leftover bighead fish, buried his head and continued to chew, looking up at his father from time to time, for fear that his father would steal it away.
After finally gnawing the bighead fish, Dong Zai wiped his small mouth, and looked at his father obediently, “Xi Zai has finished eating.”
Seeing Lei Zhe’s father reaching out to him, Dong Zai jumped onto his father’s arm and sat down obediently.
At this time, a group of little mermaids swam over and hadn’t seen each other for many days. Dongkui waved his hands particularly enthusiastically, “Winter Cub! Where are you going?!”
The little mermaids were at an active age, Dongkui couldn’t stay at home, so they called Shang Sutu, Yuanxi and the others to come and play with the winter cubs.
The little mermaids looked at Lei Zhe’s stern face and were a little frightened. They plucked up the courage to ask: “Cub, let’s go play, are you going?”
Dong Zai smiled, “Xi Zai is going to play in the sea.”
The little mermaids are envious. The winter cub’s father looks super fierce, but he is so kind to the cubs.
Dongkui said eagerly, “Can we go together?”
Lei Zhe nodded and promised, “Yes.”
great! The little mermaids cheered!
The little mermaids neatly followed Lei Zhe and swam to the surface of the sea.
The more you get to the surface of the sea, you will obviously feel that the water temperature becomes lower. They quickly swam over the surface of the sea and discovered that a thick layer of ice had formed on the surface of the sea.
Lei Zhe raised his hand and knocked through the ice. He asked Dong Zai, “Is it cold?”
Dong Zai shook his head, he grabbed his father’s arm and climbed up. It was cold and slippery, and Dong Zai had two short legs. He bent over and stretched out his hand towards Yuanxi in the water, “Brother, come!”
Yuanxi hesitated looking at Dongzai’s thin arms.
Dong Zai urged: “Hurry up!”
Yuanxi had to put his hand up and held Dongzai’s little hand.
Unexpectedly, Dong Zai was small and strong, and pulled him up at once.
Then they pulled the other little mermaid onto the ice.
The little mermaids are so light that they all step on the ice without fracturing the ice.
The mermaid’s tail is not suitable for standing on the ice, they learn from the winter cubs, and they have changed their legs. Dongkui raised his foot uncomfortably, but he couldn’t stand firmly, and a **** squatted and fell on the ice.
“Hahaha!” The little mermaids giggled.
The ice surface was too slippery, Yuanxi moved over cautiously and stretched out his hand, “Dongkui, grab my hand.”
Dongkui quickly grabbed his hand.
Yuan Xi was pulling him hard, not wanting to slip on his feet, landed on the bottom, and sat on the ice. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s a bit embarrassing.
The only one who can come and go freely on the ice is the Winter Cub. He stepped on his short legs, trot and sprinted, and then quickly slipped out.
As soon as he slid so far, Dong Zai felt so funny and “chuckled” non-stop.
Dong Zai turned around and slipped back. He grabbed Sotu’s hand and slipped on the ice.
Suo Tu was taken to fly on the ice, the cold wind blew his face, Suo Tu’s expression instantly stiffened, “Dong Cub, you let me go.”
Dong Zai turned his head, “Is it fun?”
Sotu nodded with a stiff face, fun is fun, but a little scared.
Okay, Sotu looked terrified, and Dong Zao had to let him go.
Hill was eager to try, “I want to play, Dong Zai, let me play.”
“I want to play too!” Dongkui couldn’t wait to raise his claws.
Dong Zai held one hand in hand, leading them to slip on the ice.
The short legs slid and slid flexibly, looking from a distance, like a light elf, jumping on the ice.
Dongkui slipped back a few laps, his eyes sparkling with excitement, he stretched out his hand to hold Sutu, “Don’t be afraid of Sutu, let’s play together.”
“I’m not afraid.” Suo Tu resisted, but Dongkui was dragged away.
Hill also pulled up Yuanxi, Yuanxi subconsciously grabbed the hand of the little mermaid next to him, so a group of little mermaid pulled one by one, brought a bunch of them and slid on the ice.
“Wow-“
Lei Zhe saw them having fun. There was no dragon breath nearby, and insects could not get out of the ice. Lei Zhe was relieved to let the little mermaids play here. He went to patrol the sea nearby.
After playing for a long time, Dong Cub was so tired that he lay on the ice, “Cub is so tired, I don’t play anymore.”
Little snow came from the sky, and the snowflakes flew up and fell on the little mermaids’ hair. The winter cub opened his hands to catch the snowflakes, and suddenly some pictures flashed through his mind.
On the snow-covered land side, a little gray bird flew staggeringly and saw a group of white and tender little mermaids on the ice. The little gray bird couldn’t help swallowing.
When Yuanxi looked up, he accidentally saw a little gray bird above his head. He was surprised and said: “Look, there is a bird man flying over!”
The little mermaids raised their heads together, and the winter cub blinked. This little gray bird is so familiar, it seems to be Qihe’s younger brother.
It’s just that the little fat bird is much thinner than the one seen two months ago. He flew a long distance, his wings were inevitably covered with snow, his feathers became wet and he looked thinner.
Dong Zai’s small hands expanded into a trumpet shape, and shouted in a crisp little voice: “Why are you here?”
The little fat bird was flapping its wings and shaking off the snow on his body. He was pleasantly surprised when he heard the little mermaid’s voice, “Little mermaid, you are here too. I’m so hungry, come and catch the fish.”
“Where is your brother?”
The little fat bird suddenly became sad. He sobbed and said, “He is sick and may be dying.”
Yeah, it’s so pathetic.
The winter cub couldn’t help feeling sad. If the big gray bird died, there would be no bird man to help him roast meat.
The little fat bird looked at the thick ice on the sea, and at a glance there was no edge, he became anxious, “Little mermaid, how come the sea is frozen, are there any fish below?”
Dong Zai nodded and said, “Yes, don’t worry, I…” Dong Zai originally wanted to say that Zai Zai can help you catch fish. But Dong Zai remembered that the little net his father had given him hadn’t been brought out, and he couldn’t catch the fish.
Winter Cub is even more sad, Cub Cub is a useless little mermaid.
Yuanxi saw Dongzai’s head hanging down, and he was about to cry. He touched Dongzai’s face, “Why are you upset Dongzai? What did Birdman tell you?”
Dong Zai said dullly: “He is hungry, but Zai can’t catch fish.”
Dongkui patted his chest, “It’s not just catch the fish, leave it to us! Sotu, Hill, let’s catch the fish.”
The little mermaids also thought that this birdman was the little fat bird before, and since it is a friend of the winter cub, it is their friend!
The little mermaids conjured their tails and plunged into the sea.
After a while, Sotu threw up a lively fish.
The little fat bird’s eyes glowed, he flew down, folded his wings, and grabbed the ice with his paws. He lowered his head and picked up the live fish, the bird’s beak opened, and he swallowed the fish into his stomach in one bite.
The little mermaids quickly threw a dozen fish.
The little fat bird ate seven or eight fish in one breath, but in the end he couldn’t eat anymore. He burped, “I haven’t eaten it for many days.”
Looking at the unfinished fish on the ice, the little fat bird asked earnestly, “Can I bring some fish back to my brother?”
“Yes you can.”
The little fat bird looked down at his two paws. He couldn’t bring too many fishes. The little fat bird stretched out his paws to hook the two largest fish inside.
Dong Zai thought for a while, “Wait a moment, I have a way.”
Dong Zai jumped into the sea, his legs turned into small tails, he found Yuanxi, and the two quickly swam to the bottom of the sea, pulling out a few seaweeds.
The winter cub swam out of the sea and saw the little fat bird standing on the edge of the ice cave, poking his head out to look down.
Little Fat Bird said excitedly: “You are finally back.”
Dongzai and Yuanxi string together a dozen fish. It would be better if there were fishing nets at this time.
The little fat bird lowered his head so that the little mermaids could hang the fish around his neck.
After finally hanging up the fish, Dong Zai said worriedly, “Can you fly?”
The little fat bird tried to flap his wings and flew, but it was too heavy, and it was a bit difficult to fly. He calmly said, “No problem.”
The little fat bird hovered in the air for a while, and he whispered, “Little mermaid, I have to go back, thank you so much.”
Dong Zai raised his hands, “Goodbye~”
