I May Be a Dummy - Chapter 69
They didn’t feel it in the great ditch, but when they swim out of the water, they really feel the temperature drop. The sky was gloomy and the wind was bleak. As soon as I returned to Haicheng, the first snow of winter fell, and the glittering snowflakes were as soft as white feathers, and melted into water the moment they landed on the sea.
Dongchen suddenly stopped, he looked up at the sky, caught the small white snowflakes with open hands, and said excitedly towards Han Zhan, “Brother, look, it’s snowflakes~”
Han Zhan’s gaze fell on his side of his face, and his hoarfrost-stained eyelashes quivered slightly, and he unconsciously moved Han Zhan’s heart, “Well, it’s beautiful.”
“Dongchen, Dongchen! Come here soon!” Dongkui noticed that Dongchen hadn’t followed, so he waved to him.
“Okay, I’ll come!” Dong Chen shouted, and the blue fish tail swayed slightly and swam up.
About to arrive in Haicheng, Dongchen heard Jiali’s clear voice from Haicheng, “Cub cub—-“
It’s dad.
Dong Zai’s eyes lit up with a warm light, and he was about to plunge into the water with his tail dangling.
The huge red fishtail dangled from before his eyes, and then he fell into a gentle embrace, smelling a familiar breath, Dongchen raised his lips and smiled sweetly, “Dad.”
Jiali hugged Dongchen around twice, he was happy and melancholy, alas, cub has grown up and can no longer hold it in the palm of his hand as before.
However, the cubs who grow up are also well-behaved.
Jia Li pressed her cheek against it.
Still soft.
Dongchen was flushed with his father’s cheeks, and he was embarrassed to push his father away, so he could only look at his brother with a look of help.
The deep-sea blue eyes are watery, as if they can speak, no mermaid can refuse such a pair of clean eyes.
Han Zhan frowned slightly, “Uncle Jiali, Chenchen is hungry.”
Because Dongchen was not allowed to call him “Winter Cub”, Han Zhan had to call him “Chenchen” instead.
“Really?” Jia Li immediately let go of Dongchen, grabbing his hand, and swimming towards Haicheng, “Then we will go back soon, Lei Zhe caught a lot of fish waiting for you to come back.”
Jiali occasionally went to Dahaigou to visit Dongchen to see if he was injured. Lei Zhe was too busy to get there, so he asked Jia Li to bring some food for Dongchen.
Even if the dads can’t be with Zai Zai, they still care about him.
It’s been a long time since I saw Lei Zhe’s father, Dongchen missed him a little bit.
Within a few months, the size of Haicheng has doubled, even including islands on the water.
If the previous Haicheng was just a small village, the current Haicheng has finally evolved into a small city.
In the waters above Haicheng, all kinds of fish roam leisurely.
Dads took good care of the small fishing grounds left by Dongchen. In addition to big-headed fish, finfish, and silvertails, there were many more fish that Dongchen didn’t recognize.
Dongchen watched intently at the lively fish, pursed his mouth, hungry, and wanted to eat.
Jiali said: “Some time ago, the ocean current passed by, and I don’t know which sea area fish was brought. I tasted good, so I asked Lei Zhe to catch a few of them and keep them for you to eat.”
The corner of Dongchen’s mouth turned up involuntarily, “Thank you Dad.”
Back in Haicheng, Dongchen and his friends went back to their homes.
“Brother, come on.” Dongchen shouted at Han Zhan behind him.
Jia Li turned her head and raised her eyebrows, “Come here too.”
Han Zhan was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at the innocent smile on Dongchen’s face. His dark eyes filled with tenderness that was warmer than the warm sun in spring.
He said: “Okay.”
Lei Zhe and the others still live in that round hut, and everything is the same as before Dongchen left.
The colorful corals in front of the house swayed with the flowing sea water, the sea flowers on the windowsill were still bright, and the shells at the door “ding ding dong dong” sounded.
Lei Zhe swam out and said calmly: “I’m back.”
In that tone, it was as if Dongchen was only going out for a while, not a few months.
Lei Zhe prepared a lot of fish for them. Today, Dongchen is no longer the little cubs of the past. Although his teeth are still not sharp enough, he can bite as long as it is not too hard sea beast meat. The most important thing is that he can swallow more than a dozen fish in one go.
Although he still didn’t like gnawing fish bones, Han Zhan would silently eat the fish bones every time he finished gnawing the fish. With Han Zhan’s indulgence, Dongchen really hadn’t eaten fish bones once.
The fish are all processed and the meat is fresh and tender. I haven’t eaten such delicious meat in a few months. Dongchen has a beautiful face and bites the fish quickly.
After eating the meat, Dongchen threw away the fish bones while the fathers were not paying attention.
Han Zhan noodles retrieved the fish bones without changing their colors, stuffed them into his mouth, and broke the fish bones in twos or twos.
Dongchen was a bit shy, especially in front of his fathers, watching his brother eat his leftover fish bones, but the fathers had no reaction, as if they were used to it, Dongchen breathed a sigh of relief.
After eating, Dongchen habitually followed Han Zhan to swim out, “Dad, let’s go back~”
“Wait.” Jiali stuffed a few fruits in her hand in the winter morning, “I picked it from the island. Take it back and eat it slowly.”
Before winter came, Jiali picked all the fruits on the island, but unfortunately they couldn’t keep them for too long. When they came back in the winter morning, there were only a few left to eat.
Dongchen was so touched that he held Jiali reluctantly, “Daddy, I won’t go back. I will sleep with you tonight.”
Lei Zhe’s face was dark, and Han Zhan took Dongchen away.
Witnessing Dongchen’s back with Han Zhan leaving, Jiali was a little bit sour. His spoiled little cub was eventually abducted by the mermaid next door.
Lei Zhe lowered his head and kissed Jia Li’s lips, “I like raising cubs so much, why don’t we have a little mermaid.”
Jiali pushed him away and gave him a blank look, “No matter how many little mermaids are born, they can’t compare to cubs.”
For some reason, he has a feeling recently that his cubs have gone through a lot of hardships before returning to reunite with them. He is reluctant to let his cubs suffer any more grievances.
“Dad is really kind to me.” Dongchen followed Han Zhan and swam into the house, biting the fruit while saying to Han Zhan.
Han Zhan looked at Dongchen’s rosy lips, his eyes were slightly deep.
“Right, brother.” Dongchen called him.
“Um?”
“Don’t eat my leftover fish bones anymore.” Dongchen couldn’t help but said.
Han Zhan’s expression seemed a little confused, “Why can’t I eat it?”
Dongchen fumbled, can’t say that there is my saliva in the fish bones, but everyone lives in the sea, there is no saliva. I didn’t think it before, but when I saw Han Zhan eating his fish bones recently, Dongchen always felt uncomfortable and had an inexplicable sense of shame.
He quickly changed the subject, “Brother, do you remember being fat?”
Han Zhan probably remembered that it was the little chubby bird who rashly carried Dongchen and was still a cub, and wanted to fly into the air.
“What’s up with him?”
Dongchen said obediently: “I haven’t seen fat for a long time, so I miss him a bit.”
Seeing his obedient little expression, Han Zhan’s fingers tickled slightly, and he wanted to pinch it up, “Don’t you want his grilled fish?”
Dongchen squinted his eyes with a smile, “I thought about it too.”
Their mermaids can’t stay out of the water for a long time, so they can’t know what’s happening on the land side. If the little fat birds don’t come, they won’t have the chance to meet again in their lives.
On the vast expanse of Pangu Continent, a few tiger-like leopard-like beasts ran across the grassland, as fast as a gust of wind, crossing half of the grassland in the blink of an eye.
They rushed into the herd of horned cows, bit on the horned cow’s neck, dragged the horned cow and galloped up.
At the end of the grassland is a dense deep forest, and their tribe is located in front of the deep forest.
The tigers and leopards rushed to the tribe and turned into young men in no time. They picked up the animal skins on the ground, wrapped them around their waists, and dragged the dead horns into the tribe.
At this time, a few eagle birds flew across the sky and flew towards the rolling mountains behind the forest.
The orcs of the tribe hurriedly raised their heads and cheered: “Is the king back?!”
Their king is Yuren, he is very powerful.
He led the orcs to fight in all directions and lay one territory after another.
He is a cruel and merciful king.
Orcs who do not obey him will be driven out of here, those who rebel will be killed, and orcs who obey him will become his people.
The orcs of the nearby tribe are all his people.
And the orcs of their tribe respected and feared him.
What made the orcs cheered was that their king came back and brought back a lot of food. They don’t have to worry about getting hungry this winter.
Hui Yi patted the gray-brown feathered eagle with his wings, “Your brother is back, won’t you go and see him?”
The eagle shook its feathers lazily, “No, why should I go to him.”
Eagle bird is his encouragement. In the past six months, he has met his brother Qihe a handful of times. His brother has been outside for a long time. After attacking this tribe, he will attack the next tribe. If winter is not coming, I am afraid he Brother doesn’t plan to come back yet.
Qi Mian could feel that the distance between him and his brother was getting farther and farther.
Before Qihe came back, Qi Mian would still visit him.
But every time he met, Qi He would ask him to take the meat back. Qi Mian was helpless, so that every time he looked for his brother, it was for the meat, and he was not unable to catch the prey.
“In the reproduction period next year, your brother should be looking for a partner, right?” Hui Yi said.
Most of the Feather Races are similar to the Mermaid Races, and some Feather Races change partners every year. But their Gray Feathers are a minority, and they insist on monogamy.
If one partner dies, the other partner would rather die alone than looking for a partner.
Therefore, the adult gray feather clan feather people are very cautious about finding a partner, and will not mate with other feather people casually.
If male plumes are tall and have bright feathers, they can easily attract the attention of female plumes. Some feathered beasts have beautiful feathers or special decorations such as crowns and horns, and they can use these beautiful ornaments to attract female feathers.
In terms of feathers, the Feathers of the Gray Feather tribe are much inferior to other Feathers, such as the Feathers of the White Feathers, so they can only rely on their majestic size to attract the attention of female Feathers.
“What about you, don’t you plan to find a partner next year?” Qi Mian asked Hui Yi.
Hui Yi gave a “tsk”, “Trouble, don’t look for it.”
Qi Mian said in a daze, “Where is the female plumage trouble? If you don’t find a partner during the reproduction period, won’t you feel uncomfortable?” Qi Mian came of age at the end of this year’s reproduction period. Hearing from other Yuren, it would be very uncomfortable and even want to rub the bark.
Hui Yi became an adult a few months earlier than him. He happened to be a Feather Man who had grown up during the reproductive period. He was so hungry and skinny that he had just experienced a long winter. Compared with other adult Featherman, he had no advantage at all.
Qi Mian has always believed that because there are no female feathers to look at him, Hui Yi could not find a partner during this year’s reproduction period.
Hui Yi tilted his head and said softly, “Idiot.” If I find a partner, don’t you have to be a bird by yourself and be alone?
When the words were spoken, they were blown away by the wind.
Qi Mian didn’t hear clearly, and asked, “What did you say?”
“It’s nothing, I’m going hunting.” Hui Yi spread his wings and flew to the sky.
“I’m with me too.” Qi hurriedly flapped his wings to catch up, “Wait for me.”
Dongchen discovered that in recent days, his brother was often not in Haicheng, leaving early and returning late every day, not knowing what he was doing. When he came back, he was asleep, and there was no chance to ask him.
Tonight Dongchen went out to catch fish with Yuanxi and the others. They came back late. He happened to see Han Zhan coming back. His face was gloomy, and he calmed down when he saw Dongchen.
It’s just that it’s too dark and Dongchen didn’t notice. He was pleasantly surprised: “Brother, you are back~”
“Have you eaten?” Han Zhan asked him when he saw the finfish hanging at the door when he entered the door.
“I have eaten it. This is the fish for you.”
Han Zhan didn’t say that he had already eaten it. He grabbed the processed finfish and swam into the house from the side of Dongchen.
As you approached, Dongchen suddenly smelled a scorched smell on Han Zhan’s body. If you didn’t smell it carefully, you wouldn’t be able to smell it. He leaned forward, his nose twitched slightly, confirming that the scorching smell came from Hanzhan, he wondered: “Brother, how stinky you are.”
Han Zhan paused in his hand holding the fish, his expression was subtle and his tone of voice was uncertain: “Really smelly?”
“It’s not right, but it smells a bit unpleasant.” Dongchen pushed him out and swam out, “You go out and clean the scales. You can’t go home tonight if you don’t clean it up.”
Han Zhan:…
