Leizhe and Jiali find that Xiaozai is a little listless after coming back from the island. At first, they think he is tired, so they don''t quarrel with dongzai and let him have a good rest.

    But for the next few days, the winter cub wilted. Even the bright night pearl could not cheer him up. Every day, he hid in the shell bed and refused to go out. The two silly fathers finally realized that something was wrong.

    Jiali pretended to pass by the windowsill countless times. Yu Guang glanced quietly into the small house. At this time, dongzai was sitting on the shell bed. He held his cheeks in his hands, and his eyelashes trembled gently like thin wings, sometimes frowning and sometimes sighing, as if he were thinking about something.

    "Cub, come and eat meat." Lei zhe waved to winter Cub with a shell bowl.

    "OK ~" the winter cub slowly got up and swam out with his small tail fin.

    Now the winter cub can eat half a fish at a meal. He can speak two words. His height has grown into a palm length. Compared with other little mermaids, the winter cub is still too small. For novice fathers, it is a happy thing for the winter cub to grow taller.

    Mermaids grow very fast. They often don''t have enough to eat. Their shell size is close to one meter a year. At present, it seems that it will take a long time for winter cubs to grow to one meter. Their fathers are not worried at all.

    After eating a bowl of meat paste, the winter cub wiped his mouth, said hello to his father, swam to the coral reef and played with several small fish, but soon, the small fish were scared away, leaving the winter cub alone.

    Seeing the little mermaid''s Sapphire like eyes, Jiali was inexplicably sad. When he was a child, he had many little mermaid playmates and never felt lonely. This was the first time he felt lonely from his cub.

    Jiali squatted in front of the winter cub and said, "cub, do you want to go out to play?"

    The winter cub thought for a moment and said softly in a low voice, "good, lie down."

    Jiali picked up the little mermaid and put it on his shoulder. "Let''s go. Hold on to Dad''s hair and don''t fall down."

    Jiali was impatient. He stretched his hands and his long red tail flew out like a sharp arrow.

    The whole body is immersed in the clear and transparent sea water. The surrounding scenery is retreating rapidly. The winter cub feels like flying.

    "Ah!" the winter cub had to hold his father''s neck tightly before he was washed down by the turbulent water.

    After swimming a long distance, Jiali slowed down. His clear voice sounded low, "is Xiaozai happy?"

    "Mm-hmm!" winter cub nodded happily, and dad did it again.

    "Hold on." Jiali made another effort and jumped out of the sea. The red fish tail drew an arc in the air, and then fell lightly into the sea, leaving white waves on the sea.

    "Jiali -- Jiali --"

    The mermaid nearby caught a glimpse of the red fish tail and called Jiali''s name with a smile.

    In this sea area, only Jiali is a red fish tail. There are no other mermaids except him.

    Jiali heard someone call his name and swam around with the little mermaid. Not far away, the silver fish tail glittered in the sun. Jiali called him, "longhui, why are you here?"

    Long Hui raised his chin, "like you, take my little mermaid out to hunt."

    On the sea surface, a golden Little Mermaid and a fierce big fish bite. The fishy red blood blends with the sea water. Several shadows under the sea are looming. They are all sea animals attracted by the smell of blood. They lie dormant quietly. When one of them is defeated, they rush up to share a bite of meat.

    Ah! Winter cub covered his eyes. It''s terrible.

    Jiali stretched out his finger and dialed the timid Mermaid cub. He slightly hated iron and said, "cub, cheer up for me."

    Long Hui smiled low. His voice was a little hoarse. "I haven''t seen you for a few days. The cub has grown up again, but he''s still so timid."

    Hurt his self-esteem, winter cub buried his little head in Jiali''s father''s hair and refused to come out.

    Whenever longhui sees the little mermaid of Jiali''s house, he can''t help teasing him. It''s best to make him blush. When his watery eyes stare, it''s so cute that people want to steal it.

    Of course, Jiali can''t know this.

    At this time, long''s blonde little mermaid swam back. He dragged a swordfish bigger than him with no effort.

    "Dad, the fish is for you." the blonde mermaid is like a reduced version of longhui. Longhui''s temperament is cold and gorgeous, while the blonde mermaid has soft facial features and is as warm as the sun when laughing, which is easy to make people feel good.

    "No, you keep it as a snack." long hugged his arm and said he was not interested. Such a small fish was not enough to fill his teeth.

    The little blond Mermaid looked at Jiali and recognized the red Mermaid in front of her for a long time. After all, he had just broken his shell when he saw Jiali for the first time, "Uncle Jiali." at this time, the big fish in his arms stood up. He held the big fish tightly and didn''t let it escape.

    "Oh! It''s great that xiaoyuanxi can hunt by itself." Jiali picked up his shy little mermaid and sent it to Yuanxi. "This is my baby, called Dongchen."

    When dongzai can say two words in a row, he tells Lei Zhe and Jiali that his name is "Dongchen". Most of the little mermaids choose their own names. Lei Zhe and Jiali naturally have no opinion. They think it''s ok if they like it. Of course, dads prefer to call him "Xiaozai".

    "Brother Dongchen." Yuanxi smiled and said hello to dongzai.

    Winter cub looked up at Yuanxi. The other party had a pair of beautiful green eyes and long blond hair wet on his cheek. Although he looked embarrassed, he still couldn''t hide his warm temperament.

    Yuanxi is also a little mermaid born this year. She broke her shell three months earlier than her winter cub. Her height is close to that of an adult Mermaid with a long arm.

    The winter cub leaned on his father''s palm and skillfully shouted, "brother."

    Long Hui smiled and was about to say something. His eyes suddenly fell on the sea not far away. He stared at the bottom of the sea.

    At this time, under the calm waves, a long dark shadow suddenly appeared. He grabbed one of the sea animals, opened his mouth and tricked the body of the sea animal, waiting for it to struggle and swallow it down his throat. Its neck is very long. If the sea animals hiding in the sea escape a little slower, they will be held by it and eat into their mouth.

    At the first time when the sea monster appeared, Jiali smelled the rotten smell he hated most. He narrowed his long and narrow eyes, and his sharp fingernails bounced out to make a defensive posture. He pushed a handful of winter cubs and sent them to Yuanxi. "Yuanxi, take winter cubs there to play for a while."

    Yuanxi didn''t know what had happened. He foolishly caught the winter cub and subconsciously released the swordfish in his arms. He faced Jiali and longhui, and his golden tail moved in the water and swam away slowly.

    "Dad..." winter cub''s young face showed some worry. He could feel that there were dangerous monsters under the water.

    At this time, the ferocious head broke through the water. Its neck was very long, raised high, and its cry was like a dragon roaring.

    Yuanxi''s small face turned white, "it''s a plesiosaur!"

    Yuanxi had heard his fathers mention the dragon people many times. He didn''t expect that he first saw the dragon people under such circumstances.

    Plesiosaur has a long neck, a wide and flat body, and its limbs become fins and feet. It lives in the sea all year round and feeds on fish. [note]

    Mermaids are also one of their food.

    However, the mermaid and the dragon are both sea overlords, and the well water never invades the river. The Mermaid will avoid the plesiosaur when they see it, and the plesiosaur rarely takes the initiative to attack when they find the mermaid.

    The plesiosaur seemed to have been hungry for a long time. All the swimming fish were food in its eyes. It turned its neck, locked its eyes on the two adult mermaids, opened its mouth and hissed, revealing the teeth on its jawbone.

    While they were stunned, the plesiosaur turned its head and swooped down at Jiali.

    Jiali plunged into the sea, swam to the foot of the plesiosaur fin in the blink of an eye, pinched his short legs with his fingernails, jumped up and jumped to his back.

    Plesiosaur is huge, thick skinned and solid. Its neck can be flexible. It hangs its head, opens its mouth, reveals sharp and slender teeth, and bites the red mermaid on its back.

    Jiali shook his tail, turned into legs, grabbed the neck of plesiosaur and climbed up.

    The plesiosaur twisted its neck wildly, trying to throw down the mermaid crawling on its neck.

    "Dad -" the winter cub jumped out of Yuanxi''s arm like a conditioned reflex.

    Yuanxi quickly hugged the winter cub, "brother can''t. It''s dangerous there."

    Next to the long back thin lips, the song spread melodiously. Yuanxi subconsciously covers the winter cub''s ears and doesn''t let the mermaid''s singing affect him. Most of the little mermaids who have just broken their shells can''t bear the strong power in the mermaid''s singing.

    Yuanxi thought he was his brother and had the responsibility to protect his brother, but he forgot that he was also a little mermaid who had only broken his shell for three months. The mermaid''s "war song" contained strong power and impacted the mermaid''s eardrum. Yuanxi began to feel a little uncomfortable.

    "Brother?" winter cub patted Yuanxi''s arm. He didn''t understand why Yuanxi''s brother had to cover his ears.

    Yuanxi trembled with fear and forced himself to comfort the winter cub. "Don''t be afraid, brother. Dad, they are very powerful."

    Dongzai anxiously looks at the figure of Jiali''s father. He clenches his small fist and has a strong impulse. He wants to help his father fight a big monster.

    Suddenly, the sea surface, which was originally flat and calm, ripples. The waves hit fiercely and fell gently. They rolled up two little mermaids and took them away from the attack range of plesiosaurs.

    The song came into the plesiosaur''s ears. Soon his eyes lost focus. He was dizzy and his neck shook, as if he couldn''t stand stably and was about to fall down.

    Jiali quickly climbed onto the plesiosaur''s head. Her nails were like claws, easily tearing the plesiosaur''s neck. The bright red blood splashed on Jiali''s body, adding a bit of charm to her gorgeous face.

    The sharp pain made the plesiosaur wake up gradually. At this time, Jiali''s claw was pulled into its throat from its chin. The plesiosaur shook its head hard. It opened its mouth and shouted. However, all its vocal cords had been broken and could not make any sound.

    Plesiosaur twisted its neck and rushed into the sea in an instant. Its wide fin feet patted its neck.

    Jiali loosened his claws, stroked his arms upward, and his tail swung with high frequency.

    The plesiosaur stretched out its neck and chased the red Mermaid. The long neck pecked and bit in the water, but its neck was seriously injured, and its movement was obviously not as flexible as before.

    Jiali passed downstream of the plesiosaur''s fin feet. When the plesiosaur bit its mouth, he turned around and swam to its tail. He hung the plesiosaur''s appetite again and again and escaped from its mouth again and again.

    At this time, longhui unconsciously dived behind the plesiosaur and climbed up. Longhui opened his mouth, bit the plesiosaur''s neck and tore off a piece of meat.

    The plesiosaur spewed hot air from its nostrils and knew that it was not the opponent of the two mermaids. It tried its best to throw down longhui, paddled its four fins and ran away.

    The meat of plesiosaur was very hard and sour. Longhui raised his hand and wiped the meat foam from the corners of his mouth, "bah! It''s terrible."

    Seeing that Jiali was in pursuit, he was determined to fight the plesiosaur to the end. Longhui had a headache and hurriedly shouted to him, "Jiali, forget it, don''t chase."

    Jiali just ran after him. Hearing the sound of longhui, he immediately swam back.

    "Are you all right?" long swam back to Jiali and looked at him up and down.

    "It''s all right." Jiali waved his hand. He wasn''t hurt, but his tail rubbed off a few scales and his tail fin was bald. It''s ugly.

    Remembering that Zizai was still waiting for him, Jiali swam to the sea with his bare tail fin.

    Winter cub was so anxious that tears were swirling in his eyes. When he saw Jiali coming back, big tears fell down. His soft waxy voice cried, "Dad, cub is afraid."

    Jiali quickly picked up the tearful little mermaid and coaxed softly in her voice: "my good boy is not afraid. My father is going to fight a big monster."

    Yuanxi also tightly entangled longhui''s arm. This time, it really frightened the two little mermaids.

    Seeing dongzai''s crying hiccup, Jiali really had no choice and said to longhui, "I''ll go back first."

    "Jia Li." Long Hui called him, "what did you ask Lei zhe about last time I told him?"

    "OK, I''ll go back and ask him." Jiali answered in a hurry. He took the winter cub and swam back to the small stone house at the bottom of the sea. Before he entered the door, he shouted, "Lei Zhe, come out!"

    When leizhe heard Jiali''s flustered voice, he rushed out immediately and noticed the winter Cub with red eyes.

    "Dad..." winter cub cried hoarse. When he saw Lei zhe opening his small hands to hug, only Lei Zhe''s father could give him a sense of security.

    Lei zhe took the little mermaid, trimmed his black hair, and his eyes were light Judo: "why is the baby crying?"

    "Just now we met plesiosaur. I had a fight with it and scared the cubs." Jiali scratched his chin and looked helpless.

    Lei zhe raised his finger and rubbed his little face. "Didn''t plesiosaurs only haunt the sea area of Yuhe river? Didn''t you see other plesiosaurs?"

    "I saw one. There was nothing else. I wanted to catch up to have a look, but the winter cub was still nearby, so I didn''t continue to chase." Jiali lay down on the stone bed and shook his tail fin a few times.

    Lei Zhe''s eyes stopped on Jiali''s tail fin. The circle of scales fell off. It was particularly obvious that Lei Zhe''s face changed slightly. "Your tail is hurt?"

    Jiali picked up his tail fin and sighed faintly, "it was rubbed off by the big guy''s fin feet."

    It''s just a few scales, but she''s not hurt. Jiali doesn''t care. She feels like losing a few hairs. Anyway, she can grow back soon. There''s no fuss.

    Jiali turned over and collapsed on the bed like a dead fish. "Longhui asked me to ask you, how are things considered? What did he tell you?"

    Lei zhe picked up the little mermaid and put it on the stone bed. "They''re going to the big trench and ask me if I''m going?"

    "Are you going?" Jiali looked up at him. "I''ll go if you go."

    "I didn''t plan to go before. Recently, many dragon families have come to the sea. I want to see what''s going on. I hope there''s not a problem in the big trench."

    The great trench connects numerous sea areas and is an important channel for the mermaid family. Many sea animals, including the dragon family, go back and forth to various sea areas through the great trench. If there is a problem in the great trench, his Mermaid family will have to swim a long way if they want to go to other sea areas, and they may get lost halfway.

    Dongzai tries to listen to the conversation between Lei Zhe''s father and Jiali''s father, but he is too sleepy. Just after hearing the words "big trench", his eyelids begin to disobey.

    Soon, the winter cub fell asleep with his little tail.

    When he woke up the next day, winter cub heard a bolt from the blue news.

    Jiali touched dongzai''s small head and said earnestly, "baby, your father Lei zhe will go out for a few days, and there will be only us left at home."

    Winter cub flat mouth, "Dad, come back?"

    "Dad didn''t come back so soon." in fact, Jiali was also very depressed. Yesterday he proposed to go with Lei Zhe, but Lei zhe said no. the cub is still young and needs someone at home. Jiali had to stay with the cub.

    "Are you hungry?" Jiali picked up the little mermaid and took up the shell bowl in his right hand. "Eat meat."

    A bowl of meat paste was quickly eaten up and there was nothing left. Jiali thought happily that the cub''s appetite increased a lot. It seems that he can catch up with other little mermaids soon.

    "Jiali - are you home?" FEIA''s voice came from a distance.

    Jiali was overjoyed, "I''m at home -"

    "Wait a minute, I''ll come to you -"

    After a meeting, FIA swam into the small stone house. He was followed by a string of little mermaids. The little mermaids came in one by one. First came the little mermaid with blue hair and black tail, and then the little mermaid with blue hair and blue tail.

    When he saw a little mermaid with blond hair and tail swimming in at last, his blue eyes lit up slightly. Ah! It''s brother Yuanxi.

    FIA pointed to some little mermaids, "Long Hui, they have gone to Dahai ditch. Yuanxi lives in my house temporarily. This is my smelly boy, his name is sotu, and that is my brother Roya''s cub, his name is Dongkui."

    "Ah? Cub." winter cub issued a slight doubt. He pointed to himself, meaning that it was similar to winter cub''s name.

    Dongkui is a little mermaid with blue hair and blue tail. His appearance is somewhat similar to Soto. He swam to the winter cub, lifted up a strand of winter cub''s hair, smiled and asked, "little cute, what''s your name?"

    The cub blinked. "Me? Winter cub."

    "Uncle FEIA, this little mermaid is so cute. Can I take it home?" Dongkui ran over and asked FEIA.

    Before FEIA spoke, Jiali looked at Dongkui warily and said angrily, "my baby, don''t give it to others."

    "OK." Dongkui spread his hand and expressed regret.

    "Cub No." dongcub tooted his small mouth. He decided not to talk to them.

    Mermaids who want to steal winter cubs are bad guys.

    At this time, Dongkui glanced at dongzai quietly and deliberately said to sotu, "it''s so boring here. Let''s go out and play."

    Winter cub and winter cub also want to go out.

    The winter cub looked eagerly at the door, and suddenly a small black fish tail flashed outside, "brother?"

    The little tail fin of the winter cub jumped and shook slightly. He swam out quickly and hit Han Zhan. The winter cub held the stunned little head and tilted his head. He wondered, "brother?"

    Han Zhan''s brain was shocked. His right hand was like a conditioned reflex and spread out in front of the winter cub. The winter cub happily got into Han Zhan''s palm and coiled his tail.

    After a few days, the winter cub has grown much taller. Han Zhan''s palm is about to be unable to hold the little mermaid.

    Two days ago, he heard Uncle Lei zhe inadvertently say, "cub has eaten a little too much recently."

    Han Zhan keeps it in mind that he knows Uncle Lei Zhe is going to Dahai ditch these days. Before going to bed at night, Han Zhan thought uncontrollably, if Uncle Lei Zhe is not at home, will the winter cub be hungry and gnaw at the fish spine as before.

    Han Zhan often goes hungry. He knows the taste of starvation. The delicate little mermaid may shed tears. Thinking of the little mermaid''s small baby teeth and only biting the moving meat paste, I don''t know whether uncle Jiali will pound the meat paste for the winter cub.

    Han Zhan patted the fish''s tail. He thought coldly, why should he care if the Little Mermaid will be hungry.

    On the way out to hunt, Han Zhan unknowingly searches for the trace of Bighead fish. Recently, the number of Bighead fish has decreased significantly, and his hiding skills are becoming better and better. Han Zhan searched for a long time before he caught a fish.

    God sent a ghost to Han Zhan in the small stone house. He stopped at the door with a cold face. He was about to leave the fish. Unexpectedly, he was just found by the cub.

    Dongkui is unhappy. He likes winter cub, but winter cub ignores him. Winter cub is so close to a strange Mermaid. Dongkui crowded up and looked at Han Zhan with hostility, "winter cub, who is he?"

    The winter cub''s eyes bent into crescent shape, "it''s my brother!"

    Han Zhan: Cub, how many good brothers do you have?!
