Chapter 45

Yuan Xi said worriedly, "Dong Zai..."

"He's sleepy."

Ari was not far away. He swam over and carefully looked at Yuan Xi to see if he was injured. "Xiao Yuan Xi."

When Yuan Xi saw the injury on Ai Rui's shoulder, her face tensed up and she said seriously: "Uncle Ai Rui!"

Ai Rui stretched out his hand to rub Yuan Xi's hair and smiled lightly, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, it's a small injury and it will be healed soon."

"Uncle Ari, Dong Zai has awakened his patterns."

Ai Rui's eyes turned to the little mermaid in Han Zhan's arms, and when he saw the pattern on his forehead, Ai Rui was slightly startled, and then frowned, "I suspected that the little winter cub had awakened before. Is that the little mermaid who sang just now? Are you?Didn't I know he was awakening a long time ago?" Ai Rui's last words were directed at Han Zhan.

Han Zhan raised his hand to block the little mermaid in his arms from Ai Rui. His eyes were gloomy, "No, I just found out about it."

Ai Rui sneered, obviously not believing it, "The winter cub has a special pattern. I know you want to protect him, but do Lei Zhe and the others know?"

"they know."

Ari remembered that the winter cub began to awaken during the submarine storm about three months after he broke out of his shell. The reason why the pattern did not appear before was because he had not yet successfully awakened. This shows that his awakening period was very long.

Lei Zhe and the others protected the winter cub very well. Except for Han Zhan and Ari, who were suspicious at first, no other mermaid noticed it.

Seeing this, Ai Rui shook his head helplessly and secretly cursed himself for being nosy. Since Lei Zhe and the others were relieved to leave the Dong cub to Han Zhan's care, why was he meddling in other people's business.

However, Ai Rui still reminded him, "The winter cub has just awakened, and his energy is exhausted, so he falls into a coma. Let him rest well."

Han Zhan looked at the messy shallow sea area, where the bodies of mosasaurs and plesiosaurs were floating in the water.Han Zhan noticed that the sea beasts nearby were ready to move, and if not dealt with in time, they would attract insects.

Over there, Long went back to check the casualties of the mermaids. Most of the mermaids were injured, but luckily no mermaids died.

He came over and asked Han Zhan what to do.

Han Zhan nodded back to Long, "Take them to clean up the body."

Anticipating that the dragons would not come back tonight, Ari pressed the wound on his arm and said, "Okay, those little fish cubs are still on the island. I'll pick them up."

Yuan Xi looked back at the small stone house leaning crookedly on the bottom of the water. The roof had been bitten off by the mosasaur, and it was a mess inside.Yuan Xi was a little at a loss, he seemed to have nowhere to go.

Ari looked over inadvertently and saw the helpless little mermaid in the ruins. Ari's heart was slightly touched.

Ari hissed and sighed, he was the most unhappy to see the little mermaid.

He waved to Yuan Xi, "Xiao Yuan Xi, come here, I will take you to find Suo Tu and the others."

Yuan Xi glanced at Long Hui's father reluctantly, "Dad."

Longhui's expression was calm, "Take good care of yourself."

Yuan Xi was slightly startled, and he nodded obediently, "Dad, too, don't get hurt."

After the father and son separated, Long Hui and other mermaids dragged the mosasaurus's body away and threw it deep into the seabed.

The sea beast hidden in the sea opened its huge mouth to catch the corpses thrown from above and ate them into its stomach in two or two bites.If you listen carefully, you can still hear a creepy chewing sound of "click, click, click".

On the other side, when Ari and the others arrived at the island, they saw Ting Lan confronting a mosasaurus through the trees.

Ai Rui swam over and teamed up with Ting Lan to drive away the mosasaurus.

Seeing that it was finally safe outside, Dongkui picked up Suotu on his back and ran out. He said with a small mouth: "Uncle Tinglan, Suotu is injured. Come and take a look. His tail is seriously injured. Wow."…”

Hearing this, Tinglan looked at Suotu on Dongkui's back. When he saw the deep wound on the fish's tail, his heart twitched. Suotu was his first cub, so he naturally attached great importance to it. He didn't expect that he had just left home.He was attacked by a group of dragons and was seriously injured.

Tinglan blamed herself a little, if only she had let Suotu out later.

Seeing the sad look on his father's face, Suotu immediately covered Dongkui's mouth and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'm fine."

Dongkui: "......Uh-huh!"

The little mermaids returned to the island, their faces still a little frightened.

Suotu did not choose to go back with Ting Lan. He smiled and said, "Dad, be careful when you go back."

Tinglan's eyes were wet. He swam a certain distance, but finally couldn't help but look back. His eyes passed through the fluorescent seaweed and looked at the looming shadows in the sea city. He couldn't help but feel proud that his cub had finally grown up.

Glittering night pearls were piled up in the corner. Dongxiao lay on the bed of shells in the morning. His brother's breath still lingered in the sea water. Dongzi felt very at ease and fell into a deep sleep.

Han Zhan watched quietly for a while, then turned around and swam out the door.

In the dim deep sea, it was pitch black, and he could not see his fingers. Based on the scent left by the dragon clan, Han Zhan chased him all the way to the canyon crevice.

There were a few lone mosasaurs licking their wounds, and when they smelled the mermaid's breath, they became vigilant and made threatening sounds of "Gurgulu" from their throats.

There was a huge mosasaur inside. If he guessed correctly, this mosasaur was their cephalosaur.

Han Zhan swung his fish tail and rushed into the group of dragons.

The head dragon was furious, opened its mouth and lunged at him with a roar.

The wound on his shoulder was torn open again, but Han Zhan seemed to feel no pain. With a sinister look on his brows and a gloomy look in his eyes, he cut the mosasaur's abdomen with a single stroke of his finger.

Dong Zai felt that his body was floating, and he came to a strange place.

The kind-hearted old man said: "Child, where are your parents?"

Dongzai bit his finger, "Zaizai, I have no parents."

"It's so pitiful." The old man bent down and touched his hair, "How about going back with me?"

Dong Zai's subconscious told him that the old man in front of him had no ill intentions. Dong Zai followed the old man stumblingly on his short legs.

The old man laughed heartily and hugged the little winter cub with all his strength, "What's your name?"

Dong Zai’s face was confused, “Zai Zai, Zai Zai I don’t know.”

The morning sun slowly rises from the sea level, and the golden sunshine shines on the coast. The old man's hearty laughter blends with the sound of the waves, "Today is the winter solstice, so let's call you Dongchen."

"Do you like this name?"

Dong Zai nodded and said happily: "I like it."

The old man's home is very warmly decorated, with flowers, grass, fish and birds, like a small zoo.

After adopting the little winter cub, the old man's favorite thing to do was to hold the winter cub on his knees and teach him to read.

Little Dong Zai was always impatient. Halfway through reading, his blue eyes stared straight at the fish tank.

The old man noticed it and asked with a smile: "Does Little Dongchen like fish?"

Dong Zai smiled and said, "I like it."

So the old man took him to the fish tank, grabbed some fish food, and taught him how to feed the fish.

At this time, the winter cub would put his little hands into the fish tank to catch the fish inside.

His little hands are nimble and he can catch the fish with just one grab, grabbing the fish and stuffing it into his mouth.

The old man was so frightened that he quickly rescued his precious fish from Dong Zai.

Seeing Dong Zai's innocent expression, unable to hit or scold him again and again, the old man was so angry that he picked up Dong Zai and forced him to face the wall and think about his faults.

Dong Zai was not afraid of the old man's pretended cold face at all. He smiled sweetly and said, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Zai Zai will catch fish for grandpa."

After a few times, the old man was worried that his precious fish would be killed and did not dare to let the little winter cub near the fish tank again.

In the leisurely afternoon, the old man turned on the old radio and taught him to sing lullabies.

The moment Xiao Dongzai started singing, his clear singing voice was like the sound of nature.The old man sighed. His voice was as beautiful as if it had been kissed by an angel. He was a born musician.

Time passed very slowly, and Dong Zai was a happy little cub until the old man passed away.

The picture gradually blurs, like a bizarre dream, and the dust-sealed memories will one day be opened.

When he woke up, Dong Zai had a smile on his little face. He seemed to have had a very happy dream.

There was no sign of his brother in the room. Dong Zai looked around. He climbed up from the shell bed and swam out the door. Before he could see clearly, he fell into a hug.

His deep voice was full of sleepiness and hoarseness after waking up. He stayed outside the door all night and fell asleep for a while at dawn. "Zai Zai, are you awake?"

Dongzai said in surprise: "Brother~"

Dong Zai was wagging his little tail happily, not noticing that his little tail fin was brushing against the wound on Han Zhan's arm.

Han Zhan frowned slightly and calmly picked up the little mermaid with his other hand.

The slow little mermaid finally discovered something. He swam out of Han Zhan's arms and opened his little hands to hug Han Zhan's arms.Seeing the bloody wound, Dong Zai's eyes filled with mist, and he was so sad that he almost shed tears, "Brother is injured."

Han Zhan raised his hand and brushed his cold fingers from the corner of Dong Zai's eyes. His eyes were soft, "It will be fine soon, Zai Zai, don't cry.

Dong Zai said loudly: "Zai Zai didn't cry!"

Thinking of the lifeless appearance of the little mermaid last night, and then seeing the lively little mermaid now, Han Zhan's heart became weak and swollen uncontrollably, and he touched the little tail fin of the winter cub with his finger.Fortunately, nothing happened to his little mermaid. He was not strong enough and failed to protect him. Instead, the little mermaid protected him.

"Brother, you need to have a good rest." Dong Zai grabbed Han Zhan's hand and pulled him to swim into the hut. He pointed at the stone bed with his little finger and said firmly, "Brother, go to bed quickly."

Han Zhan glanced at the little mermaid who looked like she was supervising his sleep. She was lying on the stone bed. He closed his eyes and opened them again, "Brother can't sleep."

Dong Zai frowned in confusion, "Then, Zai Zai, let's sing a lullaby to my brother."

Han Zhan raised his eyes slightly, expressing confusion, "What is a lullaby?"

Dong Zai tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Songs to put Zai Zai to sleep." He couldn't remember where he heard the vocabulary. It seemed that after he just woke up, there were many things in his mind. For example, he could sing many lullabies now..

Dong Zai swam to sit next to Han Zhan, being careful not to touch the wound on Han Zhan's shoulder. He picked up the fish's tail and hummed a song softly.

Han Zhan lowered his fingers and tapped the edge of the bed.The melody is a bit strange, but it is extremely pleasant and hypnotic.Drowsiness came over him, and Han Zhan's consciousness gradually blurred.

Dong Zai held his little face in his hands, and while his brother couldn't see him, he looked at his brother's face unscrupulously.

Brother is so handsome~

The high bridge of his nose showed sharp lines, and his tightly pursed thin lips showed a bit of indifference. At this time, his long eyelashes were lowered and his eyes were closed tightly. He looked like a mermaid in a fairy tale, sleeping quietly.

When the word "mermaid" came up, Dong Zai was a little confused. The mermaid clan has always been ferocious and aggressive. When they are really ferocious, even the feathered people have to give up. How can anyone praise them as "mermaids".

Dong Zai suddenly approached and shouted tentatively: "Brother?"

Han Zhan didn't respond.

Dongzai breathed a small sigh of relief. He touched the long tear-like wound on his brother's arm and wrinkled his face in distress. He lowered his head, pouted his little mouth, and kissed the hideous wound. Dongzai sighed, "Brother, please hurry up."Get well."

But he didn't see it. Han Zhan's eyelashes trembled slightly.
