I may be a dummy

Chapter 3

Jiali gently lifted the little mermaid's tail fin, "Zai Zai, let me see your little mermaid."

Hermaphroditic little mermaids are almost indistinguishable from male mermaids in appearance and are not easy to identify.The only difference is that the androgynous little mermaid will have an inconspicuous line two inches below the lower abdomen.After adulthood, the traces of the lines become deeper and deeper until the estrus period arrives. Once the mermaid is pregnant with eggs, the lines will slowly crack a crack, and finally the formed eggs will emerge from the cracks.

Dongzai sensed a hint of malice from Jiali's father's smiling face, and Dongzai quickly hugged his little tail to prevent his father from looking at the shyness.

But the delicate little mermaid is no match for Jiali.

Jiali stretched out her fingers to caress the tail of the fish and scratched it lightly. The little mermaid immediately felt that the tail was itchy, opened her small mouth, and laughed silently. With this smile, she subconsciously let go of the little hands holding the tail of the fish.

Jiali took the opportunity to peek at the little mermaid's white and tender belly, and then moved her gaze down.

ah!Like him, androgynous mermaid.

At this time, dozens of heads gathered around, and pairs of colorful eyes were also shining, "Yo? It's a little mermaid that can lay eggs!"

Seen by dozens of mermaids, Dong Cub was so ashamed that his whole body, including the fish's tail, blushed. He propped up his tail fin and stood up from his father's palm. With a powerful leap, he jumped back to the shell bed. Lower the upper shell, and with a "click", the two shells are tightly closed together.

A bit of confusion appeared on Jiali's face, what's wrong with Zai Zai.

What is shyness?They have public mating with mermaids, and they have never felt shy.

No matter how Jiali coaxes him, Dongzai still refuses to come out.

"Jiali, your little mermaid..." Fia's partner, Ting Lan, thought for a long time, and finally thought of a word to describe it, "It's so cute, I want to take it home."

Fia agreed, "My brat is naughty and noisy, but your little mermaid is better, how good-looking! I can eat two extra shrimps just looking at him."

Although the little mermaid is a little weaker, they can't afford it. The little mermaid is soft and cute, and they want to steal it.

The other mermaids echoed: "Yes, yes, I really want to have such a cute mermaid cub, I will definitely not drive him away, and it will be fine to raise him to adulthood."

With a straight face, Jiali drove away all the bastards who wanted to steal his little mermaid.

snort!Want to steal my family's cubs, dreaming!

Jiali was a little nervous, and really began to worry about whether some mermaids would steal the cubs. He whispered, "Lei Zhe, should we move a nest?"

Lei Zhe laughed, "I will protect you and Zai Zai from being stolen."

Jiali put her hands on her hips, fiercely, "You just need to protect Zai Zai, how could I be stolen."

Lei Zhe looked at this delicate and gorgeous face that was almost as delicate as the mermaid Zai Zai, and he couldn't help leaning over to kiss the corner of Jiali's mouth, "Does Zai Zai look the same as you when you were a child, so cute that you can't help but steal it?" Walk."

"How is it possible!" Jiali retorted unhappily, "I was amazing when I was a child, otherwise my father and the others wouldn't have left me to live as a fish."

Mermaids have never had the concept of a family. After the little mermaid can hunt alone, many parents of the mermaid will abandon the little mermaid, find a new partner, or go to other sea areas together.

Before Lei Zhe and Jiali hatched the little mermaid, they also considered that they would go to other sea areas when Zai Zai could hunt alone.Now, however, it appears that their merman pups did not learn to hunt on their own so quickly.

Having said that, since Zai Zai's shell has broken, it is really not suitable to continue living by the sea.Soon it will be dry season on the opposite land, and those birdmen will come to fish again.

When mentioning bird people, Jia Li frowned, those bird people are too annoying.When Jiali first learned how to hunt, she was still a naive little mermaid who didn't know how dangerous the outside world was. One day he chased a big fish to the seashore, but met some birdmen and was teased by them for a long time.

Those birdmen also knew that the mermaids attached great importance to the mermaid cubs, and they didn't kill little Jiali after all.But even so, little Jiali was still seriously injured.Later, it was Lei Zhe who found him, chased away the bird man and rescued him.

Since then, little Jiali has been clinging to Lei Zhe.The two have been inseparable for several years, and when they became adults, they became partners under the witness of Sea God.

Birdmen are both troublesome and narrow-minded guys. Every time the dry season comes, they form a team to steal fish, but they can't drive them away. They always like to provoke mermaids, snatch their prey, and play tricks on little mermaids.

Of course, in the end, they were all plucked by the angry mermaids and fled naked.

If it weren't for the bad taste of the bird people, it is estimated that these troublesome bird people would have been plucked and eaten by the mermaids.

If it is not a last resort, the mermaids are not willing to hatch little mermaids on the shore.The temperature of the deep sea water is cold, which is not suitable for hatching mermaids. Only the coast is warm and sunny, and there are large coral reefs. Gradually, this place has become a breeding ground for mermaids in the surrounding sea area.Every year, hundreds of little mermaids hatch successfully here, and then flow to various sea areas.

Lei Zhe held up the shell bed, and his slightly deep voice slowed down, "Zai Zai, come out and eat the meat paste."

The shell opened a seam and quickly closed again.

Lei Zhe patiently said to the little mermaid: "Be good, baby, we'll take you home after eating the meaty meat."

After a while, the shell slowly opened, and the little mermaid with big blue eyes poked its head out. After looking around, seeing that the other strange mermaids were gone, it slowly crawled out of the shell bed.He touched his belly, pointed to his pink mouth, "ahh—"

Papa, I'm hungry.

Lei Zhe understood the meaning of the little mermaid, he picked up the winter cub, put it on his arm, kept this position, and fed the winter cub meat paste.

Dongzai obviously prefers the meat of big-headed fish, and it is easy to bite. The meat of a shell is mushy, and he ate about one-tenth of it.Dong Zai stretched out his small hand to push away the spoon he was handed over, and patted his swollen belly to show that he was full.

Lei Zhe took note of the little mermaid's food intake, and didn't force Dongzai to eat more. He put away the unfinished meat and saved it for Zaizai to eat at night.

"Finally home!" Jiali spread out her palms towards Dongzai, "Caizai, come here, Dad will take you home."

"You take Zaizai's shell bed." Lei Zhe avoided Jiali's hand without a trace, his Zaizai was too small, Lei Zhe was a little worried, fearing that Jiali would lose Zaizai.

Jiali didn't notice Lei Zhe's small thoughts, he picked up the shell bed of the winter cub, swung his tail beautifully, the red tail fin drew a perfect arc in the air, and jumped into the sea with only a small splash .

Lei Zhe picked up Dongzai and placed it on his head, telling him, "Zaizai must grab Dad's hair."

Dongzai's face was tense, and he grabbed Lei Zhe's father's hair with his little hands, and nodded solemnly.

Lei Zhe's legs turned into fish tails, he swam into the sea with a slight swing, and caught up with Jiali.

Dongzai entered the sea for the first time, and the moment the sea flooded up, Dongzai was still a little nervous, but soon Dongzai felt cold and comfortable.

After sinking into the sea, Dong cub lay on Lei Zhe's father's hair, looked left and right, with a little surprise on his small face.

The sea is vast and boundless, and a few fish can be vaguely seen swimming past and disappearing quickly.

Not far away, a group of small fish nestled in the water, spitting bubbles quietly.

At this time, a huge black shadow swam past their heads, frightening the fish to flee in all directions.

Winter Cub opened his mouth wide, wow!What a big fish!

To the little mermaid who is only as long as fingers, this giant fish seems to exist like a behemoth, making him extremely small.

Lei Zhe's deep voice drifted over: "It's a mouthless fish. It eats from the stomach and exhales from the back. The meat is a little hard and not tasty."

Every time he swims a fish, Lei Zhe will introduce the name of the fish and the way to hunt them to Dongzai, and finally comment on their meat quality, whether it is delicious or not.Every mermaid parent teaches their little mermaids this when they are hunting for the first time.

Dongzai listened carefully, patted his little paws from time to time, and looked at Papa Lei Zhe adoringly, thinking that Papa was super powerful.

Lei Zhe was very useful, he thought to himself, Zai Zai is still too young, and he will take him fishing when he grows up a bit.

As they went down, they encountered mermaids of the same clan one after another. Due to the distance, Lei Zhe issued a unique sound wave from his throat.The sound waves passed through the sea water and passed smoothly.

Soon the other party responded.

Dongzai understood the meaning hidden in the sound waves. Lei Zhe's father was greeting the other party, and the other party responded in a friendly manner.

Lei Zhe was afraid that the cubs would not understand, so he explained: "Although our mermaid tribe is very powerful, there are still many dangerous animals in the sea, such as the dragon tribe Liopleurodon and long-billed dragon, and they will eat mermaids. We need to be vigilant against them. So, Zai Zai, if you go out to hunt alone in the future, you must greet your fellow clansmen when you meet them, and when you are in danger, call out, and your fellow clansmen nearby will rush over to help immediately."

Dongzai kept Papa Lei Zhe's words firmly in his heart.

He raised his face and smiled very brightly, I remember, Papa!

Soon approaching the bottom of the sea, Dong Zai saw many creatures that he had never seen before. The colorful seaweed spread out with the fluctuation of the sea water, the crinoids attached to the reef swayed gently, and there were also unknown sea flowers, red The dazzling white, the freshness of the white, and the nobility of the purple, they bloom beautiful flowers in a small dark corner.

There is a small house made of stones in the depths of the sea, opposite to which are layers of corals. The symbiotic algae attached to the corals emit faint fluorescence, and several red and white deep-sea fish shuttle back and forth.

Dongzai unconsciously let go of Lei Zhe's father's hair, and the whole fish floated in the sea, swinging back and forth.

It was so much fun, Winter Cub seemed to experience some kind of fun from it, he swung his fins lightly, and swam happily in the sea.

Seeing that Zaizai can have fun with a fish by himself, Lei Zhe let him play here. He cleaned up the area, and there were no other creatures except for a few small fish that were not threatening.

Jiali swam into the hut first, and then a soft light lit up in the hut.Not long after, Jiali took out a night pearl as big as his shell bed, and he tossed it beside Dongzai, "Zaizai, this is for you to play with."

The little mermaid likes shiny things the most, and Dongzai is no exception. He lies on the night pearl and rolls happily in the sea.

One accidentally rolled away and came to a strange environment.

The little mermaid looked around blankly, where is Papa?Why is it gone?

"Which mermaid are you?" Suddenly the boy's immature voice came from above his head.

Dong Cub tried to raise his head. It was a black-haired and black-tailed mermaid, still underage. He looked five or six years old, and there were patterns like his father at the end of his eyes. When he looked at you with a blank face, he felt a little cool.

ah!It's Papa's tribe.

Dongzai immediately felt that the boy was very friendly, and he was not afraid of the boy's cold face at all, so he swung his fish tail and swam to the boy's shoulder.He opened his small hands, hugged the boy's neck, and tried to stand on tiptoe, pointing to the pattern at the end of the boy's eyes, "pa..."

Han Zhan frowned, only then did he realize that the little mermaid could not speak, "Do you know where your home is?"

Winter Cub shook his head in confusion.

This is terrible, is it a discarded little mermaid?Han Zhan thought for a while about the mermaid living nearby.

After much deliberation, it seemed that only Uncle Lei Zhe's family was the only one. Han Zhan had heard not long ago that the little mermaid of Uncle Lei Zhe's family was about to hatch. Could it be that this little mermaid belonged to Uncle Lei Zhe's family?

Han Zhan poked Dong Zai's belly, "Are you the little mermaid of Uncle Lei Zhe's family?"

Unexpectedly, the force of this finger was too strong, and the little mermaid was poked and rolled backwards from Han Zhan's shoulder.

Seeing this, Han Zhan quickly reached out to catch the little mermaid.

Dong Cub fell into Han Zhan's palm, still a little dazed, but when he heard Lei Zhe's father's name, his blue eyes lit up slightly, he grabbed Han Zhan's long hair that was hanging down, and spoke eagerly, "Pa..."

"Okay, I got it." Han Zhan confirmed that this was probably the lost cub of Uncle Lei Zhe's family. He held up the little mermaid, "I'll take you to find Uncle Lei Zhe."

Han Zhan couldn't understand how a powerful mermaid like Uncle Lei Zhe could give birth to such a delicate little mermaid.

Dongzai understood. The cool little brother wanted to take him to find his father. Dongzai held Han Zhan's fingers with his small hands, rubbed his cheeks, and smiled like a flower.

Thank you pot pot.

Han Zhan moved his index finger uncomfortably, which was held by Dong Zai. The little mermaid was so soft that he wanted to rub it.
