Chapter 311 Phoenix Guarding the House
Finally they returned to their own courtyard. Except for Li Yan and Ling Ye who had already returned to the tribe, the rest of the beastmen all came to greet them.
"Qianqian, what's wrong with you?"
Jianze took her hand and looked her up and down.
In the past, she was beautiful and dressed up beautifully, with clothes clean and tidy. She was not as dirty as she is now.
When I went out, I was covered with mud-like stuff that stuck to my skin and hair.
"We encountered a mutated fern. Aze, I'm fine, I just need to clean up quickly."
Ye Qianmu put it succinctly:
"We need to let Qianqian take a hot bath. We can talk about the other things later."
Jianze: "Then I'll go and boil some water."
Hu Ling: "You are covered in mud. You can't wash it clean in the basin. Why don't you go to the river to wash it first?"
Qingyu: "The river water is too cold. You will catch a cold."
Ming Gong Yao: "It's the hottest time now, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
Xiao Bo: "Why not just wash it in a big basin? At most you can just change the hot water a few times."
Xiao Zhong: "Yes, we have enough energy to change and boil water."
……
He Qianqian pursed her lips and looked at the beastly husbands helplessly.
We argued for such a trivial matter for a long time and couldn't make up our minds.
If she died of dirtiness, it was because of her beastly husband’s talkativeness.
Hu Ling took He Qianqian's hand and walked straight out:
"Qianqian, I'll take you to the river to wash right away. My fire ability can also heat the water around me, so you won't get cold."
When he said this, a group of beastmen followed her to the river.
"Hey, don't you want to leave someone to look after the house? There are cubs and mermaid babies in the house." He Qianqian reminded quickly.
Qingyu and others stopped and turned their eyes to Fan Fengying.
"Fan Fengying, you stay." Ye Qianmu was very frugal with his words.
Phoenix has finally attracted everyone's attention.
Ever since he followed him into the yard, the group of people seemed to ignore him.
In other words, the males' attention is all on Qianqian.
He is just air.
He was invited to dinner at home, but no one greeted him after standing there for a long time.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the cub," he replied.
You can't just follow the little female into the river and watch her bathe.
If the guests don’t look after the house, who will?
For the first time, Fan Fengying looked at this cozy courtyard from a level angle.
There are several small log buildings, a few shacks, and a large bamboo shed for outdoor dining and cooling off.
There are front and back yards.
The front yard is relatively small, surrounded by a wooden fence, and contains a well, a large stone mill, and a drying yard;
There are several large stone pots for storing water, and in the corner are slides and other toys for the kids.
The backyard is very large and is covered with green grass. Even the grass is neatly laid to a consistent height.
It is usually a place for the kids to play and relax.
Even if adults stand far away, they can see every move of the cubs on the grass.
Of course, I watched them from the sky in the past few days.
Suddenly, envy surged in her heart. Phoenix, who had always been proud, felt that she had lived in vain for so many years.
Suddenly, he saw a dense crowd of little heads crowded on the window. They were the cubs peeking at him.
Pursing her lips, Fan Fengying strode up the stairs.
When he came to the large open space on the second floor, he saw all the cubs.
At first glance, it looks furry.
Looking more closely, there are completely black ones, black and white ones, reed-colored ones, colorful ones, and completely white ones.
In the middle, there are also a few naked snakes or dragons.
There are all kinds of colors, almost all the fur colors on land.
At first glance, the largest ones are the tiger cubs born later.
The largest litter of kittens were now guarding the large transparent water tank.
There were eight little mermaids inside, clinging to the glass with their little hands, also looking at him.
The cubs looked cautious and didn't say a word.
I never had the chance to talk to the kids in the past, and suddenly I was facing them alone and I didn’t know what to say.
He touched his nose and said, "Auntie, Gengchen, and my children. I will protect you."
"What's wrong with mother?" Ye Gengchen asked.
"She accidentally stained her clothes and hair, which were very difficult to clean, so she went to the river to take a bath and came back soon."
"Where are the dads? Where is the mermaid daddy?" asked Grandma.
"He went to guard her in the river, where there were fish and snakes with sharp teeth that would attack the females."
"Mermaid Daddy has never abandoned Yunyun and the others before." Li Qing said.
"Yunyun?"
Fan Fengying was stunned and had a headache again: there were too many cubs and she couldn’t remember their names.
But after being neighbors for three months, I observed them when I had nothing to do. If I think about it carefully, I still know the nicknames of each of them.
"Is there anything wrong with Yunyun?" Fan Fengying walked to the big vat, squatted on one knee, and asked with concern.
"Of course they are nice. But ..."
"But what?" Fan Fengying's heart tightened.
"But the chicks are hungry, and they want to eat."
"This?" Fan Fengying was a little at a loss.
The food had been placed on the table in the yard, but the dining area was at the bottom, and the big tank and the little fish were above.
“Why don’t I move the food over here, and you can eat while you watch over the little fish.
Is this reassuring?"
"okay."
Li Qing responded immediately and looked at him gratefully.
The problem that troubled the older kids was immediately solved.
Since the mermaid daddy was not around, they dared not leave their mermaid brothers and sisters.
Baba swam over and said crisply, "Uncle Fenghuang, thank you."
"Thank you." The other kids said in unison.
"No, it's okay."
Looking at such a polite kid, Fan Fengying felt quite uncomfortable and was touched in her heart.
He raised his hand, but then took it back. He didn't know whether he should touch Grandma's head.
As if it was not the time to touch yet, he stood up, walked downstairs in two steps, and put the two tables and the food on them into the space.
Then come back and put the food on the table in this room.
"Eat quickly."
"Well, thank you uncle." Ling Kongying brought the little bird around the table.
Fan Fengying was stunned for a long while before she remembered that the cubs had no hands and could not serve rice or dishes.
He hurried forward, distributed the food into bamboo jars one by one, and then put them in front of each of them.
Finally, all the cubs had eaten.
Fan Fengying watched them eat with a great sense of accomplishment.
Everyone ate it with relish.
Fan Fengying was looking forward to a delicious meal tonight. But at this moment, he was not greedy at all and was not so eager to eat.
Because as the adult who looks after the house, you always have to make sure the cubs are well fed first.
After looking around, he looked back at the water tank.
The little fish was still peeking out of the water tank.
"What does the little fish want to eat? Are you hungry?"
"They are drinking milk and are not hungry." Ye Gengzhuo, who was usually taciturn, looked up and answered him seriously.
"That's good." Fan Fengying raised his hand and pretended to touch the head of the little green snake.
Ye Gengzhuo took the initiative to lean his head over: "Uncle, let me touch you."
"Ah? Okay, okay!" Phoenix finally touched the little snake.
The little tiger next to him also stretched his head out:
"Uncle, touch it."
"Xiaoxue is so good." Fan Fengying imitated what Qianqian often said to her baby.
He touched Jianxue's white tiger fur. The fur was plump and smooth, and felt great.
Finally, he followed his heart and allowed himself to touch the heads of the other cubs.
Whenever he added food to a cub, he would touch their head and back.
The cubs were all very well behaved and let him touch them.
It was no longer like when they first met him, when everyone stuck out their tongues at him and yelled in unison.
——Say he is ugly.
