"It's really big, Dad." Speaking of this, Yuzu's eyes lit up.
"What did I tell you? You're not allowed to go to the lake to play, you didn't hear it at all, did you?" The lake was so deep and there was no one nearby, if the two little guys accidentally fell, he wouldn't even think about it.
"I didn't go to the lake, Dad, my brother and I, caught ròuròu, by the mountain." After all, he was still young, and Yuzi didn't express it very clearly, but Lei Jin understood it. They picked it up by the mountain when they went out hunting. There is the ground entrance of the dark river, and some fish may be washed up.
"Really, really, Dad, Yuyu has a big tail."
"Okay, where's the fish?"
"In our family's pot, Grandpa doesn't know." Youzi said triumphantly. Although Rongchuan treated them well, these two children seem to be not very close to him by nature.
Lei Jin chuckled, looking at their swaying appearance, the wounds on their bodies seemed to be less painful.
"It's all on fire?" Lei Jin saw the fire at the bottom of the pot burning as soon as he got home. He was used to leaving a kindling at the bottom of the pot. First, he could keep the water warm, and secondly, it was easy to ignite the fire when cooking. , add the gān rough and it will become, the two little guys watch it every day, and the clumsy one will also order it.
"Dad, fish soup." Cheng Zi giggled as he rolled his bright purple eyes.
Lei Jin thought about a pot of water and a fish, and the fish hadn't been cleaned up, what kind of fish soup to drink, but the child was so arrogant, he couldn't blame him in person, so he went to lift the lid of the pot.
"Bubble?" Lei Jin exclaimed, and a golden mermaid fell asleep at the bottom of the pot. His face was flushed with heat, and a string of blisters was still spitting out of his mouth. Although he hadn't seen it for three years, this familiar picture The little face should be a bubble.
He hurriedly took the person out. Fortunately, the stone pot heated up slowly. If he came back later, Bubble would not have been cooked and eaten by these two little bastards. Lei Jin checked it up and down and found that Bubble had some scratches on his body. , but not deep, he guessed that it should have hit something in the dark river and fainted temporarily.
The two little guys seemed to know that they had made a mistake again, lying side by side in the corner from a distance, for fear of being beaten by their father.
"Come here, this is brother, you guard him, dad cooks."
Then they crawled over obediently, looked at Bubbles who had not woken up curiously, Cheng Zi stretched out her small paw and poked it gently, tilted her head and asked Yu Zi, "Brother, Brother Grape is a fish." He only knew There is an older brother named Grape.
"Fish and fish are delicious." Dad's fish and fish are delicious.
"Is Brother Grape delicious?" Orange asked while biting his little paw.
Grapefruit saw that his father was still busy cooking, and he didn't pay attention, so he suggested in a low voice, "Otherwise, let's take a bite and try it, just one bite."
Cheng Zi swallowed his saliva, feeling that what Brother Yuzi said made sense, so he took a sip on Bubble's face.
"Ah..." Bubbles screamed, covering his face, waking up in pain.
"What's the matter, Bubble?" Lei Jin flew in.
Grapefruit and Orange stared at each other, trying their best to look innocent and none of my business.
"Dad?" Bubble called tentatively. He couldn't remember what Lei Jin looked like, but the smell was familiar.
"It's me, Bubble, I'm dad, I haven't seen each other for three years, and Bubble has grown up." Lei Jin said excitedly.
"Dad, where have you been? We can't find you." Once confirmed, Bubbles immediately revealed the familiar closeness.
"Dad can't get out here, how did Bubbles get here?"
"Grape and Mingya's uncle came, I slipped out to see Grape, I didn't tell Dad, I wanted to take a shortcut and go back to the sea. Later, there was a lot of water in a hurry, and I didn't know why I came here. Dad, this is Where is it?"
"Does Bubble mean that Grape and Mingya are coming to the Tiger Tribe?" Lei Jin asked a little excitedly, but his face darkened when he thought that he couldn't meet so close.
"Uncle Xiya, Uncle Moya, and Uncle Mingya will accompany the grapes every day."
"Really?" Lei Jin replied indifferently.
"They've been looking for Dad, but they haven't been able to find it. Grape also misses you. Look, this is what Grape brought." Bubbles untied the bag around his neck.
When it comes to his own children, Lei Jin got a little nervous, and asked a lot about grapes. He was a little relieved knowing that they were all right now.
Originally, I wanted to ask a few more questions, but the sound of "gurgling" coming from Bubble's stomach couldn't be ignored.
"Dad made something delicious for you tonight. Bubbles should not have eaten since noon, right? There is ròu simmering in the pot." Lei Jin said with a smile.
Bubble agreed embarrassedly, but the two little guys jumped up and down with joy when they heard that there was something delicious.
"Without the two of you, what did you just bite brother Bubble's face?" Don't think he didn't see the two neat rows of teeth marks on Bubble's face.
Only then did Bubble discover the two chubby fluffy balls that had shrunk to the side.
"Dad, who are they?"
"This is younger brother Grapefruit and Chengzi." Lei Jin grabbed it with one hand and placed it in front of Bubble.
"Ah, Dad, they look exactly the same." Bubble shouted in surprise, look at this, look at that, can't tell which is a grapefruit and which is an orange.
"Come and tell Brother Bubble, which of you is a grapefruit and who is an orange."
Yuzu rolled her eyes and said loudly, "I am an orange."
"Then I'm Yuzu."
After speaking, the two nodded in agreement with each other.
"Say it again, Dad didn't hear clearly." Lei Jin asked word by word.
"I'm brother Yuzi, he's brother Chengzi." To his father's almost vicious gaze, Yuzi could only tell the truth obediently. It was clear that Grandpa and that Uncle Rongchuan couldn't tell the difference. Why didn't father always tell the truth? will admit wrong.
"Let's play with Brother Bubble here. If you lie again in the future, Dad will use a knife to engrave your name on your forehead." Lei Jin threatened with a knife in his hand. I have to say that Lei Jin is really good. Even his own son did not forget to intimidate.
That night, I cooked water chestnuts, simmered ròu, stewed lotus root cubes, stir-fried jī silk, and specially steamed two fish for grapes. The three little guys ate their mouths full of oil, and Lei Jin was busy knocking water chestnuts for them. , I didn't eat much, and besides the pain in his body, he really lost his appetite.
After they were all asleep, Lei Jin went to burn a pot of hot water to wash and wash. Taking advantage of the moonlight, he went out and smashed two handfuls of green vegetables nearby and applied them to the wound.
After seven or eight days in the valley like this, Bubble and Yuzu Orange have played well, but he began to think about going home.
"But there is no exit here, and Dad doesn't know how to get out." Lei Jin crouched down and tried to explain to him.
"Dad, I can go out with the original river."
"No, that undercurrent is too urgent, what if you are rushed to another place?" Lei Jin refused. Although Bubble stayed here, although he couldn't get out, he could at least take care of him if he was there.
"It doesn't matter, Dad, look, this is the pendant that Uncle Lan Qi gave me. He said that as long as you put it in your mouth, you won't be afraid of any sea làng."
"Is that so?" Lei Jin turned around and couldn't see what material it was, but Lan Qi was Bubble's father, and he would never harm Bubble.
"That's it, Dad ties a rope around Bubble's waist. If Bubble can't get out, shout loudly and Dad will pull you back." Lei Jin just in case.
"Dad, I'm going out to find my father and uncle Mingya to save you." He saw the bad guy come to fight with his father at night.
"Bubble, so good." It seems that Rongchuan has been attacking continuously in the past two nights and was seen by Bubble. He didn't expect Bubble. After all, he is still a four-year-old child, but at this time, it is inevitable that his heart will be moved, and he is attached to it. He simply said a few words in his ear, which were too complicated for the child to remember.
"Dad, I remembered it all." Bubbles repeated it completely and unmistakably.
"Okay, don't cry. When we go out, we can see Brother Bubble." Lei Jin pulled the rope back and tied a small bag to it. This was agreed with Bubble. Tie the pouch on the other end.
"Dad, I want brother Bubble."
"Me too, Dad."
"I'll see you." Lei Jin took them home. The two little guys had been detained here for three years since they were born, and they didn't have a playmate of the same age. Now that Bubble left, his eyes were swollen from crying.
Lei Jin took the salted jī and ròu to the back rock and hung it up. It was strange to say that although the valley was wet, the rock was unusually cool, and there was very little food on weekdays. If it is broken, it will be kept fresh naturally. He stepped on the stone and hung the ròu in a cool and ventilated place above the rock, waiting for the wind, so that it can be stored for a longer time, and there is no fear of running out of food in winter.
It seems that things may not go well. It has been more than half a month since Bubble left, and there is still no news. Did something go wrong? Today, I managed to deceive Rongchuan out. I hope They could give me a chance, but just as they were worried about this, they felt a tight waist, two sturdy arms had tightly wrapped around him from behind, and they slid away the knife that was always pinned to his waist.
"Let go, Rongchuan." Lei Jin turned his elbow and hit him hard on the head.
Rong Chuan snorted, but his arms still didn't relax at all, he directly hugged Lei Jin from the stone, pressed it against the wall, and licked it when he came up.
"Rong Chuan, we can discuss something." Lei Jin tried his best to keep calm, thinking that thanks to the two little guys, they went out.
"I won't listen to you again this time." He has already suffered from Lei Jin's numerous secret losses, and this time he will never be fooled again.
"You can't be there for a long time, be your big head." When Rong Chuan touched in front of him, Lei Jin finally couldn't help but shout.
"Just let me touch it, just lick it." Rong Chuan said panting.
"Damn, you're disgusting, aren't you." Lei Jin struggled to dodge, and when he thought of that scene, his scalp was numb, you don't want to give me a gift like you, and you dare to take advantage of me.
After finally being able to move his arms, Lei Jin reached into his pocket, took out a handful of powder, and raised it towards the back.
Rong Chuan coughed and let go to wipe his face, Lei Jin quickly turned around, squeezed his arm, and punched him hard in the eyes.
"Does it feel good to be addicted to the drug? You have a good night's sleep here." Rong Chuan was lying on the ground now that the effect of the drug was on, and Lei Jin kicked him on the chest without leaving a trace, and took it back. With his own knife, he clapped his hands and planned to leave.
"If you leave today, I'll kill those two cubs if I can move." Rong Chuan still didn't give up.
But after he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it, because he saw that Lei Jin's complexion changed, and he was no longer accustomed to teasing and laughing, and the whole person suddenly became fierce.
"Let's not mention the festival three years ago. In the past three years, you and you have helped me a lot, and I know how to repay the kindness, so I have to tolerate you again and again without hurting you. My life, do you think I really can't kill you?" His physical strength is naturally inferior to that of a shòu, but some things depend not only on physical strength, but also on brains.
"No, I'm not..." Rong Chuan felt Lei Jin's knife sliding around his neck, and he became nervous. He couldn't know how useful this knife was.
