Chapter 14

Seeing the two people coming down from the canyon, the little gray whale, which was guarding the entrance of the cave conscientiously, quickly moved away to let Ari and the others in.

As soon as they entered, Dong Zai and Yuan Xi burst into tears and swam over wagging their little tails. Ari picked up the two little mermaids in his big hands, "What's wrong, Zai Zai?"

Dong Zai held Ai Rui's arm and blew on the bloody wound, "Huhu - it hurts so much~"

Yuan Xi bit her lower lip, her eyes red, "Uncle Ari, you don't want to die."

"How could I die?" Ai Rui rubbed Yuan Xi's blond hair, "Be good, it's just a small injury, you won't die. Don't cry, baby."

At this time, Ari vaguely remembered that Yuan Xi’s other mermaid father died not long after he emerged from his shell, so Yuan Xi was afraid that he would die like his father.

Mermaids are very powerful, but they cannot avoid death. Mermaids are more tolerant of death, and only little mermaids who have just broken out of their shells will be upset about it.

But Xiao Yuanxi is really gentle and considerate, as warm as a little sun.

Holding two cute little mermaids in his arms, Ari felt like the happiest mermaid in the world.

Han Zhan glanced at Ai Rui coldly, popped out his nails unexpectedly, stunned the big fish with his backhand, and disembowelled him.The big-headed fish was dug out by Ari from the mud. The fish body had a rotten smell. The outer layer of meat was removed, leaving only the meat inside. Four full bowls were filled, enough for the little mermaids to eat for two.Paused.

The next day, Ai Rui estimated the time and swam out of the canyon to look at the situation outside. The storm had passed and the sea water was not as turbid as before. He came back and said to Han Zhan, "Take Dong Zai with you, we are going back."

Han Zhan stood still, the little mermaid in his arms hugged her little tail tightly, "Zai Zai, I miss my dad..."

Ai Rui bent down to pick up Yuan Xi and let him sit on his arm. He looked at Han Zhan and raised his eyebrows impatiently, "Mr. Moji, if you don't leave, Zai Zai will cry again."

Dongzai flattened his mouth and said, "Zaizai, go home~"

Han Zhan held up the little mermaid and said seriously: "I'll take you back first. You're not allowed to come out alone next time. Do you hear me?"

Dong Zai nodded dejectedly, "I understand, Zai Zai."

Han Zhan covered the little head of the winter cub with one hand, flicked the black fish tail, and swam out of the cave quickly, and the little gray whale quickly followed.

When we reached the top of the canyon, the sea water was mixed with various smells. Dong Zai immediately covered his nose with a disgusted expression, "It stinks."

"Be patient, we'll be there soon." Han Zhan accelerated his speed and rushed upward.

When passing the coral reef where Dong Zai lived before, Han Zhan subconsciously looked and saw that the beautiful coral reef was gone. Perhaps it was swept away by the storm, or perhaps it was covered up by sand and gravel.

Fortunately, Dong Zai couldn't remember the location, otherwise he would be sad. Han Zhan remembered that Dong Zai liked to sit on the coral reef and play with the little fish.

Leaving the cracks in the canyon, the sea water gradually became clearer until it became transparent. Dong Zai let go of his little hands and took a deep breath of sea water, "Sweet~"

"Hmph," the little gray whale cupped the winter calf's little tail, then turned around and motioned for the winter calf to sit on its back.

Han Zhan picked up the winter calf and put it on the back of the little gray whale, "Let's go."

When he wanted to conjure his legs, Dong Zai was confused for a moment. Dong Zai couldn't quite remember the dream he had had. The dream was blurry. It seemed that all he had forgotten were unpleasant memories. The sequelae was that Dong Zai didn't like to conjure up his legs.Legs.

The winter calf was lying on the back of the little gray whale. He held his gills and his little tail was wagging.

After the storm, the sea beasts came out to move around. Ai Rui took a quick look at the fattest one among them. He swam over with Yuan Xi, grabbed the big mouth of the shark, and broke its teeth directly.

Xiao Yuanxi nestled on Ai Rui's arm, not feeling scared at all, but rather eager to try.Mermaids are ferocious and aggressive by nature. Even a little mermaid who has just hatched has to start learning to hunt.

Ai Rui held Yuan Xi's head and chuckled, "Little guy, when you grow up a little, Uncle Ai Rui will teach you how to catch sea beasts."

Ai Rui dragged a sea beast back, and when they approached the shallow sea area, Ai Rui gave the sea beast to Yuan Xi, "Give it to your father, and I won't go."

After a few days of getting along, Yuan Xi was no longer afraid of this fierce-looking mermaid uncle. He hugged Ai Rui's arm like Dong Zai did, and said with a shy face, "Uncle Ai Rui, I can't lift him."

Ai Rui said in a low voice: "Xiao Yuanxi, you don't know, Jiali is so fierce. I can't beat him, so I have to escape quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiali roared and came over with murderous intent, "Ai Rui, give me Zaizai back!"

It's dad!

The winter cub jumped off the back of the little gray whale, swung its little tail and rushed towards it, "Dad~" The cub misses you so much.

Jia Li caught the soft little mermaid and rubbed her cheek against hers, "Zai Zai, daddy misses you so much that he can't eat enough or sleep well..."

Dong Zai smiled and said with crooked eyes, "Zai Zai, I miss my dad too."

Rubbing and rubbing, the braid on Dongzai's little head became messy. Jiali fumbled to tidy it up, but the result was even messier. Jiali felt guilty, "Zaizai, who made the braid for you?"

"Uncle!" Dongzai pointed with his little hand, Huh?Where's Uncle Ari?

Yuan Xi looked strange and couldn't help but look at Uncle Ari, who was hiding behind the sea beast and trying his best to hide himself.

Jiali's eyes were as bright as fire. He rushed over and grabbed Ai Rui's hair, "You——"

Ai Ruiku laughed and said: "Jiali, wait a minute, listen to my explanation first, I really didn't steal your baby..."

Jia Li let go of her hand and stared at him suspiciously, "Did you tie Zaizai's braid?"

"Huh?" Ai Rui didn't expect that this was what Jia Li asked.

Jiali frowned, "Teach me how to braid my hair."

Dong Zai swam over with disheveled hair, pouting his little mouth in displeasure, "Dad is bad!"

The beautiful little mermaid instantly turned into a gray little beggar. Ari smiled with narrowed eyes and waved to Dong Zai, "Come here, Zai Zai, uncle will braid your hair again."

Ai Rui quickly untied the braid on Dongzai's head. Dongzai's black hair was thin and soft. When the sea water swayed, the hair strands spread out and were dyed into ink-colored meticulous paintings.

Ari's fingers flew very flexibly, and a beautiful braid was tied in just a moment.

"Hat." Dong Zai touched the top of his head and said in a soft and waxy voice, "I want a hat."

"Okay!" Ai Rui picked off a round leaf, covered the winter cub's head, and fixed it for him.

After reading it, Jiali was very confident and felt that he had learned it. He rubbed his fingers and said, "Zai Zai, daddy, please braid your hair."

Ari's face looked horrified, and he cautiously suggested, "How about you practice with Lei Zhe first?"

The winter cub's skin is so delicate that it won't heal if it gets hurt.

"Ai Rui," Lei Zhe's cold voice came from behind, "should you explain why you are with Zaizai?"

Ari was startled. He looked at Han Zhan who suddenly clenched his fingers, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to take the blame for Dong Zai, "I saw how boring the Zai Zai were at home, so I took them out to catch fish..."

"I knew it!" Jia Li snorted coldly, even wanting to roll up her sleeves and fight.

"Dad," Dong Zai held Jiali's chin in his little hands and pouted, "Chirp~"

Suddenly, Jia Li was so beautiful that she forgot all about what she wanted to do.

Lei Zhe pinched his eyebrows and nodded towards Han Zhan, "Follow me."

Ari, who had escaped, was about to run away when he suddenly remembered something. He caught up with Lei Zhe and whispered, "Your Zaizai woke up a few days ago."

Hearing this, Lei Zhe immediately turned around and looked at Dongzai's white and tender face. No pattern appeared in the corners of his eyes. "Could it be that you saw it wrong?"

Ari scratched his hair. Generally speaking, the little mermaid's awakening period is only about three days, not too long. But I don't know why the winter cub has never awakened and developed patterns.Ari still said firmly: "It's impossible, you'd better pay attention."

Lei Zhe nodded, "I will."

"I'm leaving." Ai Rui picked up the sea beast and scooped up the Xiaoyuan River with his big hands, laughing heartily, "Come on, Uncle Ai Rui will take you home."

Lei Zhe pondered for a moment, "Do you know the pattern of Zai Zai's awakening?"

Han Zhan's eyelashes trembled slightly. Uncle Lei Zhe was Dong Zai's father. Han Zhan had no intention of hiding it from him, "I know."

"Is there anything unusual?"

"Zai Zai...the pattern is a bit strange." Han Zhan didn't know how to describe it, "It doesn't look like the Abyss Clan pattern, nor the Lyle Clan pattern."

Han Zhan is still young and has not left this sea area since breaking out of his shell, so he does not know that it is a pattern that has never appeared in the mermaid tribe.

"When Zaizai woke up, you were with him?"

As any mermaid parent, you would not be too happy to know that when your cub awakens, it will be a male mermaid by his side.

At this moment, Han Zhan seemed to feel that Lei Zhe had seen through the deepest secret he had hidden in his heart. After all, Han Zhan was young and didn't know how to hide his emotions. He looked away slightly, not daring to look at Lei Zhe, "Yes."

Lei Zhe continued to question, "Zai Zai also secretly came to find you before?"

Han Zhan said with some difficulty: "Yes."

Silence spread. After a long time, Lei Zhe took a deep look at Han Zhan and said, "If I say, we leave Zaizai to you, can you take good care of him?"
