Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Han Zhan is used to living alone, so the little mermaid who has just hatched naturally does not recognize him.

Fia hadn't found a mate during the last breeding period, so he didn't know what happened to the coral reef, but he later heard that a pair of mermaid parents left their unshelled cubs and ran away.At that time, Fia was still surprised. No matter how ruthless the mermaids were, they would never abandon their cubs before they hatched. How cruel would they have to be to do such a thing?

Mermaid cubs rarely survive to adulthood without parental care.

But no mermaid cares whether Han Zhan can survive independently after breaking out of his shell.

Mermaids themselves are cold-blooded animals with a cold nature. They will not even keep their own cubs, let alone help other people's cubs.

Feiya met Han Zhan hunting alone several times. At first, he thought it was some kind of cub. But once Jiali mentioned it, he realized that the little mermaid he met was Han Zhan who was thrown away before he could break out of his shell.

You must know that mermaids have no so-called sympathy. When Fia found out about it, she was just surprised.

Feiya looked outside, lowered her voice in Jia Li's ear and said, "I heard that Lei Zhe was leading Han Zhan to hunt recently. What's going on with you?"

I don’t want to take my own mermaid cub with me, but I want to take someone else’s cub with me.

Of course, the thoughts of the mermaid tribe are still very simple, and they will not think about Lei Zhe being Lao Wang from next door.

They would only wonder if Lei Zhe had lost his mind.

Jiali felt there was nothing wrong, "Han Zhan is very nice and treats Zaizai very well. Look, he even catches fish for Zaizai to eat."

Jiali licked his lower lip. He really wanted to eat big-headed fish.Zai Zai has been eating a lot lately, and the big-headed fish Lei Zhe caught was only enough for Zai Zai to eat. He hadn't touched Zai Zai's leftover meat for a long time and it was all mushy.

Dong Zai jumped up and down in Han Zhan's hand, his big blue eyes dancing with eagerness, "Brother, play."

Han Zhan lowered his eyes and remained unmoved. He raised his index finger and tapped the little mermaid's forehead, "It's dangerous outside."

In the past few days, many little mermaids have been injured by dragons while hunting alone. If there are no adult mermaids with them, they may be targeted by dragons.

The winter cub curled up its tail aggrievedly.

Zaizai wants to go out and play.

Dongkui, who was eavesdropping on the side, deliberately said loudly: "Dong Zai, we are going out to play, do you want to come with us?!"

Unexpectedly, Jia Li in the room heard it. Jia Li thought that his cub finally had a playmate, but he couldn't be left alone. He hurriedly shouted: "Han Zhan, take them to play nearby and don't go too far."

Dongkui was so angry that he didn't want to play with this mermaid.

Suotu crossed his arms and passed by him, with a bright mockery in his eyes, "Idiot."

The cute little winter cub will never fall in love with you.

"Suotu, you traitor." Dongkui chased after him, swung his tail and slapped Suotu in the face, "I want to break off our relationship with you!"

Suotu quickly dodged and nimbly dodged. He said, "Whatever you want." Then he swam away.

"Play, play." Dong Zai raised his head and blinked at his brother with stars. His father said, Zai Zai can go out to play.

After Han Zhan looked at Dong Zai expressionlessly, he opened his arms to pick up the little mermaid, and with a slight swing of his tail, he walked across the coral reef.

Yuan Xi swam for a while and found that Dong Kui was not following him. He turned around and asked doubtfully: "Dong Kui, aren't you going out to play?"

"I'll go!" Dongkui said fiercely, wagging his little tail and quickly catching up with Yuan Xi.

A few people passed through the coral reef and saw a piece of green seaweed in front of them. These seaweeds grew in strange shapes. Some of the leaves were wide, some were slender, and they were densely packed and very lush.

Han Zhan pushed aside the seaweed and checked it carefully. The seaweed was not very tall and there would be no large sea beasts hiding underneath. Han Zhan felt free to let Dong's cub play on the seaweed.

Yuan Xi picked off a piece of seaweed and held Dong Zai's little hand, "Dong Zai, let's play with hair tying?"

"Childish." Suotu swam farther away from them and did not participate in the house game.

Dongkui pretended not to be interested, but in fact he secretly took a peek, oh~ he also wanted to tie Dong Zai’s hair.

Dongzai had long black waist-length hair, which was silky. Yuan Xi straightened Dongzai's hair, held it in his hand, held the seaweed in his left hand, twirled it around his hair a few times, and finally tied it with a beautiful bow.

"Zai, does it look good?" Dong Zai spun around twice, pleased with himself. He swam in front of Han Zhan and showed off his newly tied hair.

Han Zhan touched Dong Zai's little head with a smile on his face, "Dong Zai is the prettiest."

Dong Zai happily got into the seaweed, and his little figure was instantly submerged by the seaweed.Several molluscs immediately raised their eyes when they heard the noise, and when they saw it was the harmless little mermaid, they continued to nest motionless in the seaweed.

Dong Kui opened the lush seaweed, and a big red crab with eight legs flashed past. Dong Kui exclaimed, "Crab? Dong cub, come and see the crab!"

Dongkui's small body rushed forward and lay on the back of the big crab with hands and tail together.The eight-legged big crab ran very fast. The big crab carried Dongkui on its back and slipped away. Dongkui hurriedly shouted: "Sotu, come and help catch the big crab."

The scene of the big crab escaping with the little mermaid on its back is particularly interesting, and the winter cub covers his mouth and laughs.

Sotu quickly caught up with him, scolding Dongkui and grabbing his arm, "You idiot, let go."

"Why are you catching me? Come catch big crabs."

Suotu was so angry that he slapped Dongkui on the head, "The crab shell is hard and meatless. Why are you grabbing it? Let me go quickly."

Dongkui frowned, "I won't let go."

Yuan Xi was also anxious. The legs of this big crab were nearly one meter long. Even when Dong Kui stood up, they were not as tall as the crab's legs.Especially the two giant claws in front of the crab are very powerful. If it is caught by the claws, it will be half dead or half disabled.

The big crab felt offended. It raised its two giant claws and pinched Sotu's fish tail.

Suotu quickly put away the fish tail, grabbed Dongkui's armpits with both hands and pulled it up, but Dongkui clung to the crab's shell, and Suotu couldn't pull it away no matter how hard he tried.

Yuan Xi saw this and hurried over to help. The two little mermaids grabbed Dong Kui, and Dong Kui held on to the big crab.The big crab was stunned, and it started running wildly with its eight long legs.

Yuan Xi's hand that grabbed Dong Kui slipped, and he quickly grabbed Suo Tu's shoulder, and he and Suo Tu were led drifting among the seaweed.

"Ahhhhh-" Dongkui's scream rang through the sky.

Yuan Xisheng has no love, what is he here for?

Suotu Bingshan's little face split instantly, "Dongkui, you big idiot!"

They can't let go. If they let go, the big crab will disappear immediately.

"Wow~" Dong Zai exclaimed and swam over with his little tail wagging, "Brother, play."

Han Zhan's face was serious, "It's not fun, let's play something else."

"It's fun." Dong Zai said stubbornly. He grabbed Han Zhan's finger and swam in the direction of the big crab. He swam for a long time without moving even one centimeter.

Even though Dong Zai is usually well-behaved, once he becomes stubborn, it can be very troublesome.Han Zhan couldn't defeat the winter cub, so he picked up the winter cub, swam to the big crab, put him in Yuan Xi's arms, and said, "Take him to play with you."

Yuan Xi was suddenly stuffed with a baby in his arms, and he was a little confused.

Suotu just wanted to yell, they are not playing!asshole!

Dongkui wanted to cry but had no tears. He just wanted to catch a big crab to play with. How could things develop like this?

"Giggle~" Dong Zai's sweet laughter swayed in the sea water. It was so fun!

The sweet laughter seemed to be contagious, and Yuan Xi couldn't help but laugh along, "Dong Zai, is it fun?"

Dongzai's little face smiled brightly, "Okay, it's fun."

Suotu still had a paralyzed expression on his face, and fireworks were exploding in his heart. He heard his own voice saying calmly: "Dongkui, hold on tight and don't let go."

Hey, at least you take care of my feelings!

The big crab didn't realize that there was a string of little mermaids hanging behind him. He ran, feeling slower and slower. He braked suddenly and stopped.

Yuan Xi bumped into Suo Tu's back while holding Dong Zai, and along with it, Suo Tu pressed on Dong Kui.

"Ouch!" Dongkui wailed.

The big crab shook its body, threw the little mermaid off its back, and quickly slipped into the seaweed with its eight legs.

Han Zhan opened his hand to catch the winter cub that was thrown off by the big crab, and raised his hand to straighten his messy black hair, "Is it fun?"

Dongzai smiled and said, "I still want to play."

Han Zhan pointed to the direction where the big crab disappeared, "The big crab ran away, there is no time to play."

"Dong cub, I'll look for the big crab again." Dongkui couldn't bear the disappointment of the cute little Dong cub. He got up and aggressively went to pick up the seaweed to look for the big crab.

Sotu didn't bother to tell him that just now they had a quarrel in the seaweed, and all the small sea fish were scared away. It was strange that he could still find the big crab.

"No, let's play." Dongzai touched his belly, "Zaizai, I'm hungry."

Yuan Xi curled her lips and said, "Whatever Dong Zai wants to eat, my brother will catch fish for you."

Dongkui said hurriedly: "I can also catch fish, Dong Zai, I can catch fish to feed you."

When Suotu heard this, he hummed, "Don't you only know how to catch big crabs?"

Dongkui was so embarrassed that he went crazy and rushed to strangle Suotu's neck, "I'll fight you Suotu!"

Han Zhan lowered his lips and picked up the little mermaid with one hand, "No need."

"Zai Zai only eats big-headed fish."

What was going on with this showy tone? Dongkui almost broke his teeth. I knew this guy would definitely snatch the winter cubs from me.

"I can also catch big-headed fish, Dong Zai, wait until I catch the big-headed fish for you." Dongkui said, letting go of Suotu and getting ready to catch the fish with murderous intent.

Suotu grabbed Dongkui's hair and caught him back, "Your whole fish is not as long as a big-headed fish, so what kind of fish can you catch?"

"Sotu, let me go, I will fight you to the death."

"Zai Zai, I want to catch..." Dong Zai bit his finger. He also wanted to catch fish and fight big monsters with his father.

Han Zhan pulled out the fingers he stuffed into his mouth, "I will teach you how to catch fish when you grow up."

Yuan Xi's little face was surprised. It was rare for Zai Zai to want to learn to catch fish. When Zai Zai saw him catching fish yesterday, he was so scared that he covered his eyes and did not dare to look.

The few people returned to the small stone house. Han Zhan put down the winter cub. He picked up the big black fish tied to the door, knocked it unconscious, bled it, and sliced it into pieces. The whole process was completed in one go.

Yuanxi and the others were stunned for a moment. This was not over yet. Han Zhan picked up the fish fillets and put them into the shell bowl, pounding them into a paste. After doing this, Han Zhan picked up the shell bowl and picked up the winter cub in one hand., put it on your arm, take a spoon with the other hand to scoop up a spoonful of meat paste, and bring it to Dong Zai's lips.

"Ouch~" Dongzai opened his mouth and ate half a spoonful of the mushy meat.

Winter cub eats mushy meat?Yuan Xi and the others ate the meat of the strange shrimps as soon as they broke out of their shells, but the meat seemed to be delicious. They heard that the meat of the bighead fish was the most tender and delicious. They looked at the winter cubs with envy. They also wanted to eat the meat..

Dongkui came home that night and clamored to eat big-headed fish. Dongkui was a bad-tempered female mermaid. She immediately slapped Dongkui on the back of the head and said, "If you want to eat big-headed fish, you won't catch it yourself. YouMom, I’ve only eaten big-headed fish a few times since I’ve been this old.”

Dongkui was very dissatisfied, "I am a cub that has just hatched, shouldn't you be the one to catch fish and feed it to me?! Uncle Jiali's winter cub eats big-headed fish every day, why can't I eat it!"

Dongkui rolled his eyes and said matter-of-factly: "Zai Zai is so cute. What's wrong with eating big-headed fish every day? How can you compare to Dong Zai? If Dong Zai were my little mermaid, I would catch big-headed fish for him every day.".”

Dong Kui was at a loss for words. Dong Zai was cute, but he was also very handsome. Dong Kui just rolled around and said, "If it doesn't work, I will eat the big head fish. If I want to eat, I will eat it."

Dongkui didn't feel embarrassed and shouted at the top of his voice. Dongkui's parents suddenly felt a demonic sound piercing their ears.

"Whose child is this?" Dongkui's mother picked out his ears, "Take him away quickly."

Dongkui's father, Luo Ya, picked up Dongkui and said impatiently: "If you keep making noises, I will throw you out to feed the mosasaurus." Mosasaurus is the most ferocious dragon in the dragon clan. Plesiosaurs have to retreat when they see them., the mermaid tribe likes to use mosasaurs to scare disobedient little mermaids.

Dongkui shut up instantly and whispered, "It's so vicious, I must have been picked up by you."

Dongkui's father heard it with his ears, raised his hand and pretended to throw him out, while threatening him, "Yes, you were the one we picked up, and now we are going to throw you back."

"No, dad." Dongkui quickly hugged his dad's wrist and smiled playfully to please his dad, "Look at how similar we are, I am definitely your biological child."

During the few days when Lei Zhe was away from home, all the big-headed fish that Zaizai ate were caught by Han Zhan. In the first two days, Jiali would take the initiative to go out to catch fish, but the big-headed fish were so elusive that Jiali groped through the mud to find them.I couldn't find a single fish for a long time.

Jiali couldn't bear her temper. When she couldn't find it, she went to catch other fish. She often lost track of time while catching. When she came back in a hurry, she saw that Han Zhan was already feeding Dong with a shell bowl.The cub was mushy from eating the meat.

Jiali felt guilty and spoke in a weak voice unconsciously, "Zai Zai, daddy didn't catch the big fish. Is Zai Zai starving?"

Dong Zai shook his head and smiled at Jiali, "I'm not hungry."

Jia Li was very touched. My Zai Zai was so considerate. He picked up the little mermaid and rubbed his face against hers.

It made Dong Zai's face turn red, he was so shy.

Han Zhan washed the shell bowl and put it back in its original place. "Uncle Jiali, I'm going back first. I'll catch a big fish tomorrow morning. You don't have to go out specially."

"Han Zhan, you're so kind." Jia Li didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he was happy that he didn't have to go out to catch big-headed fish by himself. It wasn't that Jiali wanted to be lazy, it was just that big-headed fish were too difficult to catch.

Under Han Zhan's feeding, the Dong cub has obviously gained weight, its cheeks are chubby, and its smile is sweet.

Lei Zhe came back on the fifth day. Jiali hugged Dong Zai and fell asleep soundly. When he heard Lei Zhe calling his name, he jumped up, picked up Dong Zai and rushed out.

Dong Zai rubbed his eyes, resisted his sleepiness and stuck his head out to look outside. He also heard his father's voice.

This time Lei Zhe and the others caught a super big guy, which aroused the covetousness of many sea beasts on the way back. Some even had the courage to ambush Lei Zhe and the others. Of course, they later became the rations of Lei Zhe and the others.

Seeing Lei Zhe's figure from a distance, Jiali was so happy that she rushed up and hugged Lei Zhe. He had known Lei Zhe for more than ten years and had never been separated from Lei Zhe for so long.

Lei Zhe lowered his head and kissed Jia Li's forehead, "Are you good at home these days?"

Jia Li smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Dong Zai is very well-behaved."

"I know Zaizai is very well-behaved." Lei Zhe paused, "I'm talking about you."

Jia Li was angry, but unable to refute, "I was good, I didn't fight or make trouble."

At this time, Dong Zai, who was caught in the middle, raised his paws hard and said, "Zai Zai, I miss my daddy."

Lei Zhe lowered his head and kissed Dong Zai's little head, "Daddy misses Dong Zai too."

Seeing that Lei Zhe and Jia Li couldn't finish talking for a while, Long turned back and waved his hand to chase them away, "Lei Zhe, you go back first, I will bring your share to you later."

Longhui was also carrying the pelvic fin of the big guy on his shoulders. The body length of this big guy was estimated to be more than ten meters long. It had a big head and one of the exposed teeth was bigger than an adult fish. It can be seen that this big guy was still alive.How cruel.

In order to kill the big guy, several mermaids they were traveling with were injured. Originally, they were looking at several other sea monsters. Just as they were catching the sea monsters, this big guy rushed out of the trench and killed them in one bite.captured their prey.

Long Hui was so angry that his face was livid. This big sea beast had crossed a long and long trench, and it had exhausted most of its strength. It was already hungry, so Long Hui simply stopped doing nothing and killed it while it was weak.

However, Longhui and the others miscalculated the strength of the sea beast. Even though it had been hungry for a long time, it was still fierce. Even Lei Zhe was bitten on the arm by it. Fortunately, they succeeded in killing the sea beast in the end.

After that, Lei Zhe and others waited outside Dahegou for two more days. They waited for many mermaids from other sea areas. These mermaids brought them some not-so-good news.

Speaking of this, Lei Zhe's face turned slightly solemn, "There is no problem in the Great Trench, but other sea areas have problems."

Jia Li frowned, "What happened in other sea areas?" Jia Li and his father went to other sea areas very early. Jia Li hadn't seen them in many years and didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

Lei Zhe recalled that the mermaids who described the situation to them all showed horrified expressions, "In several sea areas, a sudden burst of heat erupted on the seabed, with thick smoke and mud spewing out. All the sea beasts around them encountered the mud.They died, the mermaids also suffered many casualties, and the remaining ones who were alive fled to other sea areas."

"It's so scary. What on earth is it?" Jia Li couldn't help but be afraid.

Lei Zhe was also thinking about this problem. After all, they had never heard of hot slurry erupting from the seabed before. "No one knows what it is. In short, there are almost no living creatures in those sea areas now."

"That's too scary." Jia Li patted her chest, still feeling scared, "Fortunately, we gave birth to cubs during this year's breeding season." If they hadn't given birth to winter cubs, they might have gone to other sea areas.

Their sea area is far away from those sea areas, so Jia Li is not worried about the hot water flowing over, but they need to be vigilant about the large sea beasts escaping from other sea areas, especially those pesky dragons.

Lei Zhe is also worried that the dragon tribe will cause trouble for them. The dragon tribe and the mermaid tribe are naturally at odds with each other. In the past, they rarely lived in the same sea area, so there was no need to worry about this problem. Nowadays, there are more and more dragon tribes in their sea area, and they even eat a lot of food.Eat, eat up all the food nearby, seriously damaging the interests of their mermaid tribe.

Lei Zhe and Jia Li discussed: "The sea area has not been peaceful recently, why don't we move to live next to Fiya and the others tomorrow." The main reason is that Zai Zai is too young. In the future, he and Jia Li will often go out hunting, leaving him alone at home.Zhe is worried. There are many mermaids living in Fiana area, which is relatively safe. In the future, the winter cubs will also have little mermaids to play with.

"I've wanted to move here for a long time." Jia Li was particularly happy, "You didn't agree before."

Lei Zhe sighed slightly. In the past, he was worried that Jia Li would fight with other mermaids, so Lei Zhe never moved there.

However, since the little mermaid was born, Jia Li also became more stable, and Lei Zhe began to consider moving.

When Dongcub woke up the next day, he was told that they were moving.

Dong Zai followed Lei Zhe's father like a little tail, and mumbled with his little mouth: "Dad, dad, that brother?"

Lei Zhe turned around, held up the little mermaid, and looked at Dong Zai with two pairs of eyes, one big and one small. Lei Zhe looked at Dong Zai and asked seriously: "Does Zai Zai want to live with my brother?"

Dong Zai's smiling eyes rolled out as he said each word one by one, "Zai, Zai, think."

It seemed that Zaizai really liked Han Zhan's little mermaid. Lei Zhe's eyes flashed slightly. Even if Zaizai made other mermaid friends, he probably still liked Han Zhan more in his heart.

"Okay, let's go play." Lei Zhe put down the winter cub. After a while, he looked back at the little mermaid rolling around on the night pearl, his eyes thoughtful.

Dong Zai didn't expect that Lei Zhe's father meant moving when he said moving, not his shell bed.

When seeing Lei Zhe's father and Jia Li's father working together to pick up the entire small stone house, Dong Zai was so shocked that his mouth opened.

Dong Zai's first reaction was that the small stone house was not connected to the ground.Then, surprise!The five walls are actually connected together?

Dong Zai came up with a terrible guess. Lei Zhe's father must have hollowed out a big stone...?
