Chapter 4

Lei Zhe had just gone to clean the coral reef to give the winter cubs a place to play, but the little kung fu mermaid turned around and disappeared.

Lei Zhe wasn't too worried. The little mermaid's tail was so soft that she couldn't swim far no matter how hard she swam.

The breath of the little mermaid still remained in the sea water and had not dispersed far. Every powerful mermaid also had a very keen sense of smell. Lei Zhe pursued the breath of the winter cub and quickly swam towards the canyon.

After swimming not far, Lei Zhe felt the breath of the little mermaid getting closer and closer, and at the same time there was the breath of another familiar male mermaid.As he walked around the huge rock, he heard the cold voice of the male little mermaid, "Don't play here again. It's very dangerous."

Lei Zhe's expression was subtle. His family's fish cub was nestled in the palm of the male little mermaid, holding its tail and smiling happily.

Han Zhan didn't expect Lei Zhe to find it so quickly. He held the little mermaid in his palm and brought it to Lei Zhe, "Uncle Lei Zhe, this is your little mermaid."

"Pa..." Dong Zai was very happy to see his father. He opened his little hands to give him a hug, and his blue tail fin began to sway unconsciously.

The small tail fin was like a small brush, which made Han Zhan's palms itch.Han Zhan couldn't help but curl up his fingers and hold the little mermaid's tail fin to prevent him from moving.

Well?Dong Zai felt that his tail could not move, so he turned back in confusion.

At this time, Han Zhan quickly released his fingers and turned his face away, pretending that nothing happened.

The little tail started to sway again, and the blue and transparent little tail fin fluttered, like the wings of a flying fish, small and exquisite.

Lei Zhe picked up the little mermaid and nodded slightly to Han Zhan, "This is my Zaizai. Thank you for sending him back."

Han Zhan lowered his eyes, as if the warmth of the little mermaid still remained in his palms, Han Zhan held his palms tightly.

"Where did Zai Zai go to play? Why didn't you tell daddy?" Lei Zhe tapped Dong Zai's head with his index finger.

Dong Zai smiled sweetly, hugged his father's finger, and rubbed it flatteringly, "pa..."

Lei Zhe remembered what he had just heard, "Did you just come from the canyon?"

"Yeah." Han Zhan was slightly silent, "Catch long-tailed shrimp."

Long-tailed shrimps are relatively tame. Adult fish have longer arms and slightly sweet shrimp meat, so they are not popular with mermaids. Only underage mermaids will catch long-tailed shrimps to wrap their bellies.

Lei Zhe had met Han Zhan's parents several times. Han Zhan was indeed a mermaid of his own race. He had just emerged from his shell a year ago and was still a little mermaid in need of his parents' nourishment.

During the last breeding period, Han Zhan's parents, the two mermaids, quickly met their eyes and gave birth to Han Zhan not long after.But before Han Zhan could break out of his shell, Han Zhan and his father fell in love with another hermaphrodite mermaid and ran away after him.

Han Zhan's mother was so angry that she left Han Zhan, who had not broken out of his shell, and chased Han Zhan's father all the way to other sea areas.

Han Zhan has no parents to teach him how to hunt since he hatched, so he can only catch small, non-threatening fish and shrimps to fill his stomach.

For the sake of his own race, Lei Zhe usually takes more care of Han Zhan. If he meets him occasionally, he will teach him some simple hunting methods.

On normal days, Lei Zhe wouldn't have cared too much, but now that Han Zhan accidentally helped his family, Yu Zaizai, Lei Zhe's mind moved slightly and he suddenly wanted to help Han Zhan.

It depends on how far Han Zhan can grow.

Lei Zhe held the little mermaid with one hand and looked sideways at Han Zhan. The little mermaid had no parents to feed him, and he didn't know how to hunt. He often didn't eat enough, which made his body a little thin. His upper body was covered with large and small scars.There is a black fish tail that is strong and strong, and its scales are glowing with light.It is conceivable that if Han Zhan has enough food, he will definitely become a powerful mermaid in the future

"Follow me." Lei Zhe said. He swung his fish tail and swam towards the canyon.

Uncle Lei Zhe is calling him?Han Zhan paused for a moment, then chased after Lei Zhe.

The cracks in the canyon are bottomless. The lower you go, the lower the oxygen content, and almost no living things can survive.Han Zhan couldn't figure out why Lei Zhe took him to the canyon.

Passing by the pile of rocks, Lei Zhe caught a big-headed fish. Near the canyon, Lei Zhe stopped and suddenly released his hand holding the fish's tail.

The big-headed fish escaped from the claws and seemed frightened. It was a little panicked and swam in a zigzag way.

Lei Zhe swung his tail and swam in front of the big-headed fish in the blink of an eye. He stretched out his hand to grab it. His movements were as fast as lightning, and he pinched the gills of the big-headed fish in an instant.

The big-headed fish seemed to be caught in a tight spot, its eyes rolled white, and it entered a state of pretending to be dead, motionless.

"Do you see clearly?" Lei Zhe said calmly.

Han Zhan was slightly startled. Is Uncle Lei Zhe teaching him how to hunt?Why?Many questions flashed through Han Zhan's mind. The situation in front of him didn't give him much time to hesitate. Han Zhan quickly recalled Lei Zhe's actions just now. He took a deep breath and said, "See clearly."

Lei Zhe let go of the big-headed fish again. He raised his chin and signaled to Han Zhan, "Go and catch it."

The big-headed fish instantly resurrected with full health and quickly slipped away.This mermaid is simply a devil. He has been caught and released, released and caught again. Doesn’t it deserve the dignity of a big-headed fish?

Han Zhan caught the swimming track, flicked his tail, and slapped the big-headed fish hard on the head. While the big-headed fish was dazed, he exposed his sharp nails and pinched the big-headed fish's gills.

Lei Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly. Han Zhan was smarter than he expected. He just gave a little hint and wanted to test Han Zhan's ability, but he didn't expect Han Zhan to learn to capture the movements of his prey so quickly.

Han Zhan grabbed the big-headed fish and handed it to Lei Zhe. He gasped slightly and said, "Uncle Lei Zhe, here you go."

The little mermaid in Lei Zhe's palm clapped like a dolphin, "Bah, bang, bang!"

Brother is so awesome!

Han Zhan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but he quickly suppressed his smile and returned to his cool look just now.

Lei Zhe glanced at Dong Zai and laughed in his heart. He nodded slightly to Han Zhan and did not take the fish. Instead, he said, "You keep it."

Han Zhan didn't move. He lowered his eyes and looked at Dong Zai biting his fingers in Lei Zhe's hand, "Zai Zai needs it."

Seeing Han Zhan's determined expression, Lei Zhe didn't force him anymore. He accepted the big fish, thought for a few seconds, and said to Han Zhan, "Come find me tomorrow."

Han Zhan immediately understood the meaning of Lei Zhe's words. He clenched his fists and said, "Uncle Lei Zhe, I..."

Lei Zhe interrupted him, his face as cold as ever, "You helped Zaizai, so I gave you a hand. Whether you can do it or not is up to you."

"I know, I will work hard." Han Zhan's face was stern and he nodded heavily.

Dong Zai tilted his head, what was his father talking to his brother?He couldn't understand a word.

Lei Zhe lowered his head and said to the little mermaid: "We are going home. Don't run around next time."

Dong Zai suddenly remembered something. He picked up the fish's tail and took a look below. There was no glowing ball?

"What's wrong?" Lei Zhe picked up the little mermaid and checked whether his tail was injured.

Dong Zai spread out his empty little hands, ah, the ball was gone.

Unfortunately, Lei Zhe didn't understand what Dong Zai meant. Seeing that the little mermaid didn't lose even a hair, he took the little mermaid back to the hut.

Dong Zai quickly turned around, raised his little hand and waved, "Goodbye Guo Guo."

After Lei Zhe left, Han Zhan's eyes moved slightly. He swam to the place where he met the winter cub before, and his eyes searched for something on the bottom of the sea.In the seaweed, a soft light attracted Han Zhan's attention. Han Zhan swam over and found a bright night pearl in the seaweed. He remembered that this was the one dropped by the little mermaid just now.

Han Zhan put away the luminous pearl, thinking that he would return it to the little mermaid tomorrow.

When Lei Zhe came back with the winter cub, Jia Li was still doing something in the house, not to mention that the little mermaid had disappeared for a while.

The winter cub got up from Lei Zhe's palm and swam into the hut with its little tail wagging.

The small stone house is simply decorated, with the only furniture being a stone bed and a string of shells hanging on the wall, adding a bit of brightness to the house.

Mermaids don't have many requirements for a place to live, as long as it has a roof and is safe. They don't want to wake up and find themselves in the belly of a big fish.

Dong Zai noticed the luminous pearl on the bedside at a glance, huh?The glowing ball turns out to be here.

The whole fish of Winter Cub lay on the luminous pearl, and started to roll around again. If Winter Cub could talk at this time, the little mermaid would definitely be filled with the cheerful laughter of the little mermaid.

Lei Zhe walked in and saw this scene. Suddenly, he finally understood how Zaizai had swam so far.

At this time, Jia Li stretched and stood up. With his quick eyes and hands, he quickly grabbed Dong Zai, who was wandering around the room, "Zai Zai, look at the room I prepared for you."

Dong Zai held onto Ye Mingzhu and was put on the window sill by Jiali even with the ball.

The window sill is connected to another small house. The space inside is about one-tenth the size of the small stone house, which can fully accommodate the little mermaid rolling around happily holding the night pearl.

Dong Zai's shell bed was placed in the center of the small room. A huge night pearl was embedded in the ceiling, illuminating the small room brightly.

When the little mermaid saw the bigger luminous pearl, she immediately put down the small bead in her hand and swam to the ceiling. She stretched out her little hand and touched the luminous pearl. It was warm and comfortable. Dong Zai rubbed her little face against it, wishing she could get the whole pearl.The fish lies on the night pearl.

Lei Zhe estimated that Dong Zai was almost hungry, so he brought over the shell bowl filled with meat paste and waved to the window sill, "Zai Zai, come here and eat meat paste."

Dong Zai reluctantly let go of the big bead, turned around and found the small bead in the corner. He picked up the small bead and swam out of the small room.

After playing for a long time, Dong Zai was already hungry and seemed to have a better appetite. Dong Zai ate a third of the bowl of meat paste in one go.

Jia Li praised him, "Zai Zai is awesome, he will grow taller soon."

Dong Zai pushed the shell bowl to Jiali's hand, his blue eyes blinking, and his father ate the meat.

"Ah, my Zaizai is so considerate." Jiali picked up the little mermaid and kissed her again and again.

Dong Zai was so shy that he curled up his fish tail, and his body was all wet with Jiali's saliva.Jia Li's father was so enthusiastic that Dong Zai was embarrassed to push him away.

Lei Zhe couldn't bear it anymore, so he rescued Dong Zai from Jiali's mouth and sent him back to the small house, "Zai Zai is sleepy, let him rest."

The winter cub slipped back into the small house, got directly into the shell bed, and slammed the two shell doors shut.

Jia Li picked up the shell bowl and ate the leftover meat from Dong Zai into his stomach. After eating, Jia Li smacked his lips, "It's so delicious." Jia Li was still interested and kept an eye on Dong Zai's rations, "Where’s the bighead fish you just caught?”

The big-headed fish caught by Lei Zhe had been tortured to death. If it were killed and left tomorrow, the meat would be stale. Lei Zhe pulled out a piece of seaweed, wrapped its tail around it, and hung it at the door, planning to kill it tomorrow.Make meat paste for Zaizai.

"Zai Zai wants to eat tomorrow." Lei Zhe extinguished the little flame of Jia Li's hope, "Be good, go to bed early."

Jia Li smacked her lips, "Okay." He couldn't really compete with Zai Zai for food, but tomorrow he could eat the leftover meat from Zai Zai. Jia Li narrowed her eyes and snickered.

Lei Zhe glanced at Jia Li, but did not reveal his little thoughts.

The sky has completely darkened, and the depths of the seabed are silent and pitch black, with only the swimming jellyfish and seaweed emitting a faint fluorescent light.When all creatures fell into sleep, this mysterious sea finally revealed its beautiful and dangerous side.
