Jia Li gently picked up the little mermaid's tail fin and said, "Zai Zai, let me see your little one."
The appearance of the androgynous little mermaid is almost the same as that of the male mermaid, making it difficult to identify them.The only difference is that the hermaphrodite little mermaid has an inconspicuous line two inches below her abdomen.After adulthood, the line marks become deeper and deeper until the estrus period arrives. Once the mermaid is pregnant with eggs, the lines will slowly crack into a crack, and finally the formed eggs will emerge from the crack.
Dongzai sensed a trace of evil intentions from Jiali's father's smiling face, and Dongzai quickly hugged his little tail to prevent his father from looking at the shameful part.
But the delicate little mermaid is no match for Jiali.
Jia Li stretched out her fingers to touch the fish's tail and scratched it gently. The little mermaid immediately felt that the tail was extremely itchy. She opened her mouth and laughed silently. With this smile, she subconsciously let go of her little hands holding the fish's tail.
Jia Li took the opportunity to peek at the little mermaid's white and tender belly, and moved her eyes further down.
ah!Like him, a hermaphrodite mermaid.
At this time, dozens of heads gathered around, with pairs of colorful eyes shining equally, "Yo? It's a little mermaid that can lay eggs!"
Dozens of mermaids saw the shameful place. The winter cub was so embarrassed that his whole body, including the fish's tail, turned red. He propped up his tail fin and stood up from his father's palm. He jumped back to the shell bed with all his strength and pulledPull down the scallop shell above, and with a "click" sound, the two scallop shells come together tightly.
Jiali's face showed a bit of confusion, what's going on with Zaizai.
What is shyness?They are both mermaids and they have sex in public, and there is no such thing as shyness.
No matter how Jia Li coaxed him, Dong Zai still refused to come out.
"Jiali, your little mermaid..." Feiya's friend Ting Lan thought for a long time before finally thinking of a word to describe it, "It's super cute. I want to take it home."
Fia agreed with her face, "My brat is naughty and noisy, but your little mermaid is better. How well-behaved! I can eat two more anomalies just by looking at him."
Although the little mermaid is a bit delicate, it's not like they can't afford it. The soft little mermaid is cute and wants to steal.
Other mermaids echoed: "Yes, yes, I really want to have such a cute mermaid cub. I will never drive him away. There is no problem in raising him until he is an adult."
With a straight face, Jia Li drove away all the bastards who wanted to form a group to steal his little mermaid.
snort!I want to steal my family’s fish cubs, dreaming!
Jiali was a little nervous and really started to worry about whether mermaids would form a group to steal the cubs. He whispered: "Lei Zhe, should we move to a nest?"
Lei Zhe laughed, "I will protect you and Zai Zai and won't let you be stolen."
Jia Li put her hands on her hips and said fiercely, "Just protect Zaizai. How could I be stolen away?"
Lei Zhe looked at this face that was almost as delicate and gorgeous as the mermaid Zaizai. He couldn't help but leaned over and kissed the corner of Jiali's mouth, "Does Zaizai look the same as you when you were a child? He's so cute that you can't help but steal it."Walk."
"How is that possible!" Jia Li retorted unhappily, "I was very good when I was a child, otherwise my father and the others wouldn't have left me alone."
Mermaids never have the concept of family. After the little mermaid can hunt alone, many mermaid parents will abandon the little mermaid and find new partners or go to other sea areas together.
Before Lei Zhe and Jia Li hatched the little mermaid, they also considered that they would go to other sea areas after the cub could hunt on its own.However, it seems that their mermaid cubs are not able to learn to hunt on their own so quickly.
Having said that, now that Zaizai has broken out of his shell, he is indeed not suitable to continue living at the beach.Soon the dry season will soon come to the opposite land, and those birdmen will come to fish again.
When mentioning the birdmen, Jiali frowned. Those birdmen were so annoying.When Jia Li first learned how to hunt, he was still an innocent little mermaid. He didn't know how dangerous the outside world was. One day, he chased a big fish and swam to the beach. As a result, he met several birdmen and was teased by them for a long time.
Those bird people also knew that the mermaids attached great importance to the mermaid babies, and they teased them, but they did not kill and eat little Jiali.But even so, Xiao Jiali was still seriously injured.Later, Lei Zhe discovered him and drove away the birdman to save him.
From that time on, Xiao Jiali has been clinging to Lei Zhe.The two were inseparable for several years, and when they came of age, they became partners in the presence of Poseidon.
Birdmen are troublesome and petty people. Every dry season, they form a team to steal fish, but they can't drive them away. They also like to provoke mermaids, steal their prey, and play tricks on the little mermaids.
Of course, in the end, they were all plucked out by the angry mermaids and fled naked.
If it weren't for the fact that the birdmen tasted so bad, they would have been plucked and eaten by the mermaids long ago.
Unless they have no choice, mermaids are not willing to hatch little mermaids on the shore.The temperature of the deep sea water is cold and not suitable for hatching mermaids. Only the coast has warm sunshine and large coral reefs. Gradually, it has become a place for mermaids to breed in the surrounding seas.Every year, hundreds of little mermaids hatch successfully here and then flow to various sea areas.
Lei Zhe held up the shell bed and said in a slightly deep voice, "Zai Zai, come out and eat the mushy meat."
The shell opened a crack and quickly closed again.
Lei Zhe patiently said to the little mermaid: "Be good, Zai Zai. After eating the meat, we will take you home."
After a while, the shell slowly opened, and the little mermaid with big blue eyes popped out her head. After taking a look, she saw that the other stranger fish were gone, and then she slowly crawled out of the shell bed.He touched his belly and pointed at his pink mouth, "Ahhh——"
Daddy, I'm hungry.
Lei Zhe understood what the little mermaid meant. He picked up the winter cub, put it on his arm, kept this position, and fed the winter cub some meaty paste.
Dong Zai obviously prefers the meat of big head fish. He bites it easily. The meat of a shell is mushy and he eats about one-tenth of it.Dong Zai stretched out his little hand to push away the spoon that was handed to him. He patted his bulging belly to show that he was full.
Lei Zhe took note of the little mermaid's food intake and did not force Dong Zai to eat more. He put away the uneaten meat paste and saved it for Dong Zai to eat at night.
"I'm finally home!" Jia Li extended her palms towards Dong Zai, "Come here, Zai Zai, daddy will take you home."
"Take Zai Zai's shell bed with you." Lei Zhe avoided Jia Li's hand without leaving a trace. His Zai Zai was too small, and Lei Zhe was a little worried, fearing that Jia Li would lose his Zai Zai.
Jiali didn't notice Lei Zhe's little thoughts. He picked up the winter cub's shell bed, swung his tail beautifully, and his red tail fin made a perfect arc in the air, and jumped into the sea with a "pop", making only a small splash of water..
Lei Zhe lifted up Dong Zai and placed it on his head, and warned, "Zai Zai should grab daddy's hair."
Dongzai's little face tightened, his little hands grasped Lei Zhe's father's hair, and he nodded solemnly.
Lei Zhe's legs turned into fish tails, and he swam into the sea with a slight swing, and caught up with Jia Li.
Dongcub entered the sea for the first time. The moment the sea water came up, Dongcub was a little nervous, but soon he felt ice cold on his body, which was so comfortable.
After sinking into the sea, Dong Zai lay on the hair of Lei Zhe's father, looking left and right, with a bit of surprise on his little face.
The sea is vast and endless, and a few fish can be vaguely seen swimming by quickly and disappearing quickly.
Not far away, a group of small fish nested in the water, quietly blowing bubbles.
At this time, a huge black shadow swam over their heads, frightening the fish and fleeing in all directions.
Dong Zai opened his mouth wide, wow!What a big fish!
To the little mermaid, who is only a finger long, this giant fish seems to be a behemoth, making her extremely small.
Lei Zhe's deep voice floated over: "That's a mouthless fish. It eats from the belly and exhales from the back. The meat is a bit hard and not tasty."
Every time a fish swam by, Lei Zhe would introduce the name of the fish to Dong Zai, as well as the way to hunt them. Finally, he would comment on the quality of their meat, whether it was delicious or not.Every mermaid parent will teach their little mermaid this when it catches food for the first time.
Dong Zai listened carefully, patted his little paws from time to time, and looked at Lei Zhe's father with admiration, thinking that his father was awesome.
Lei Zhe was very helpful. He thought to himself that Zaizai was still too young and he would personally take him fishing when he grew older.
As they went further down, they met mermaids of the same race one after another. Because the distance was a bit far away, Lei Zhe's throat emitted a unique sound wave.Sound waves pass through sea water and are transmitted smoothly.
The other party responded quickly.
Dong Zai understood the meaning hidden in the sound waves. Lei Zhe's father was greeting the other party, and the other party responded in a friendly manner.
Lei Zhe was afraid that the winter cub wouldn't understand, so he explained: "Although our mermaid tribe is very powerful, there are still many dangerous animals on the sea, such as the Liopleurodon and Longorhynchus of the dragon tribe. They can also eat mermaids, so we need to be wary of them..So Zai Zai, if you go out to hunt alone in the future, you must say hello to your fellow tribesmen when you meet them. When you are in danger, just call out and the nearby tribesmen will rush over to help."
Dongzai kept Lei Zhe's father's words in mind.
He raised his little face and smiled brightly. I remember it, Daddy!
Soon approaching the bottom of the sea, Dong Zai saw many creatures he had never seen before. Colorful seaweed spread out with the fluctuation of the sea water. Crinoids clinging to the rocks were swaying gently. There were also unknown sea flowers, red and red sea flowers.Dazzling, fresh in white, and noble in purple, they bloom into beautiful flowers in the dim corner.
There is a stone hut deep under the sea. Opposite it are layers of coral. The symbiotic algae attached to the coral emit a faint fluorescence, and several red and white deep-sea fish shuttle back and forth.
Dong Zai unconsciously let go of the little hand holding Lei Zhe's father's hair, and the whole fish floated in the sea water, swinging back and forth.
It was so fun. Dongbai seemed to experience some kind of fun from it. He gently swung his fins and swam happily in the sea.
Seeing that Zaizai could have fun with his own fish, Lei Zhe let him play here. He cleaned up the area and found that except for a few small fish that were not threatening, there were no other creatures.
Jiali swam into the hut first, and then a soft light lit up in the hut.Not long after, Jiali held out a luminous pearl as big as his shell bed. He tossed it casually and threw it next to Dong Zai, "Zai Zai, this is for you to play with."
The little mermaid loves shiny things the most, and Winter Cub is no exception. He lay on the night pearl and rolled around happily in the sea.
One accidentally rolled away and came to a strange environment.
The little mermaid looked around blankly, where is Daddy?Why is it missing?
"Which mermaid are you?" Suddenly the boy's childish voice came from above.
Dong Zai tried his best to raise his head. It was a mermaid with black hair and a black tail. He was still underage. He looked about five or six years old. There were patterns like his father at the end of his eyes. When he looked at you expressionlessly, he looked a little...cool.
ah!He is a member of Dada’s tribe.
Dongzai immediately felt that the boy was more friendly. He was not afraid of the boy's cold face at all, and swung his fish tail and swam to the boy's shoulder.He opened his little hands, hugged the boy's neck, stood up on tiptoes, and pointed at the pattern at the end of the boy's eyes, "pa..."
Han Zhan frowned, and then he realized that the little mermaid couldn't speak yet, "Do you know where your home is?"
Dong Zai shook his head in confusion.
This is terrible. Could it be an abandoned little mermaid?Han Zhan thought about whether there were any mermaids living nearby.
After thinking about it, it seems that Uncle Lei Zhe's family is the only one. Han Zhan heard not long ago that the little mermaid in Uncle Lei Zhe's family is about to hatch. Could it be that this little mermaid belongs to Uncle Lei Zhe's family?
Han Zhan poked Dong Zai's belly, "Are you Uncle Lei Zhe's little mermaid?"
But the force of this finger was too strong, and the little mermaid leaned back and rolled off Han Zhan's shoulder.
Seeing this, Han Zhan quickly reached out his hand to catch the little mermaid.
Dong Zai fell into Han Zhan's hand and was still a little confused. However, after hearing the name of Lei Zhe's father, his blue eyes lit up slightly. He grabbed Han Zhan's long hair and spoke eagerly,"pa..."
"Okay, I get it." Han Zhan confirmed that this was probably Uncle Lei Zhe's lost cub. He held up the little mermaid and said, "I will take you to Uncle Lei Zhe."
Han Zhan couldn't understand how such a powerful mermaid as Uncle Lei Zhe could give birth to such a delicate little mermaid.
Dongzai understood that the cool little brother was going to take him to find his father. Dongzai held Han Zhan's fingers with his little hands, rubbed them with his cheek, and smiled like a flower.
Thank you Guo Guo.
Han Zhan moved his index finger uncomfortably, which was held by Dong Zai. This little mermaid was so soft, he wanted to rub it...
Que fofos!
