Original Again

“Ya! Get up!” Meng Jiuzhao, who kicked Yaya’s feet, just said he would treat Yaya with gentleness, decided to use violence to wake Yaya.

It seems that this is very interesting, Dong Dong, who was standing on the side, also jumped up, and the fat cub hopped around on his father’s paw, having a great time. Dong Dong didn’t understand what his father had gone through last night. The other Kantas had protected him very well. In his opinion, it was not unusual for him to see his father after he slept.

Poor Yaya was tossed by their concerted efforts after all.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw his cub, and Yaya burst into tears!

My bang bang~ I am so fat today, so cute!

Bend down, he put out his tongue full of love, and was about to give the cub a loving lick, but Meng Jiuzhao grabbed something and just leaned under his nose——

“Hello–” Yaya immediately sneezed, with a small tear hanging in the corner of his eyes. He looked aggrieved at Meng Jiuzhao’s palm. When he saw the gray-green grass, Yaya couldn’t help but widen his eyes. .

“This was found in your paws. Where did you find it?” The gray-green leafy plants were exactly what I was looking for next. Meng Jiuzhao was excited when he found them between his teeth.

this! I found this by the lake. “Understanding Meng Jiuzhao’s excitement very much, Yaya immediately explained the experience of discovering this kind of plant with empathy.

By the lake? The strange Kantas?

Yaya’s narrative was mixed with too many subjective thoughts, but it was also clear that Meng Jiuzhao felt that he had to go to the lake to take a look.

The heavy rain stopped in the morning, but the water on the ground was still very deep. All the Kantas became prototypes. The cubs were properly put in their pockets. Meng Jiuzhao also sat on Louis’s shoulder.

It is a beautiful feeling to see a peaceful and deep lake under the sunny sun during the day. But thinking of Yaya’s experience in this lake last night, Meng Jiuzhao couldn’t think of it as beautiful anyway.

“I almost died in this lake yesterday~ Fortunately, Kantas saved me.” Yaya also had a frightened expression. After feeling, he talked about the experience of being rescued last night.

“You found these grasses here?” Ignoring the babble, Meng Jiuzhao slid off Louis himself. When he walked to the lake, he bent down cautiously and squatted to touch the water in the lake. After a long time, he didn’t feel anything.

“Strange, I found it by the lake before.” Yaya also felt very strange: “I fell into the lake just to pull these grasses!”

After listening to Yaya’s words, Meng Jiuzhao and the Kantas searched the lake for a long time. Unfortunately, the standing water was too deep, and the vegetation here was completely destroyed, and they returned with nothing.

In the next two days, Ah Lu found this gray-green grass in another direction, although it was only scattered, but after all, it had begun to appear in a small area.

The gray-green grass that represents the direction of returning home grows in two completely different directions!

The road home instantly parted ways in front of them and turned into a fork in the road. On one side of the intersection is a plain grassland, and on the other is a deep lake that can drown Kantas.

“It must be the one that Alu discovered! On the way we came, we only encountered such a big lake on the very cold ice!” Qiao Qiao analysed in a serious way, as straight as Qiao Qiao. There are many, and everyone echoes Qiaoqiao’s views.

Only Yaya——

“But… I really saw a lot of gray-green grasses by the lake… Qiao Qiao said weakly. Among the group of Kantas, his voice was small and pitiful.

For Kantas who is eager to go home, these grasses represent the direction they go home. After yesterday’s heavy rain, large areas of vegetation here were submerged by stagnant water. If they continue to soak, the plants on the ground will die. , At that time they have completely lost the “indicator” to go home.

A little later, in case it rains again, maybe you won’t be able to return home-thinking of this, at that time, many Kantas were ready to move in the direction of Alu.

“Ya, do you really see a lot of this kind of grass by the lake?” Just when the other Kantas gathered automatically, Meng Jiuzhao didn’t move, raised his head, and he asked to stand aside in a daze. Tooth tooth.

“Yeah!” Although the voice was very small, Fang Ya answered very positively.

So Meng Jiuzhao stopped the other Kantas.

“Before leaving, I want to go to the lake again, there is something I want to confirm anyway.”

Although Meng Jiuzhao’s behavior is incomprehensible, everyone has habitually allowed him to do things that no one understands. So, all Kantas came to the lake again before leaving.

Here, Meng Jiuzhao confessed his decision to everyone.

“I decided to dive to the bottom of the lake and see.”

“Ah?!” With a word, all Kantas looked at Meng Jiuzhao with horror: This is too unexpected! Isn’t Ah Bale the worst swimming technique among them!

“Uh… A bald, do you want to eat fish?” After a long while, Xiao Hua finally thought of a reason for Meng Jiuzhao’s behavior.

“How is it possible!” Meng Jiuzhao said, “I just think that this lake…maybe is the right direction to go home.”

Meng Jiuzhao finally said his thoughts: “Even if it is not, at least we have to prove that this road is not the way home. After the proof is finished, we can go in another direction.”

“Why do you think so?” Xiaohua looked at him puzzledly. This is a big lake, where is the road?

“I can only say… it’s wild intuition.” His lips pressed into a straight line, and when he turned to look at the lake behind him, there was a strange flash in Meng Jiuzhao’s eyes.

The first time he saw the lake, he didn’t know why, and the idea of ​​”This is the way home” immediately appeared in his mind. These thoughts came too suddenly, but they were so strong that they could not be ignored by Meng Jiuzhao.

“I always feel that swimming across this lake, the other side of the lake is the direction we go home. If this idea is correct, once we go to the other direction, maybe we won’t be able to go home again… ”

Whenever he approached this lake, there was always a hunch that he was about to go home; on the contrary, when he moved away from the lake and headed in another direction, Meng Jiuzhao suddenly felt a sense of panic in his heart.

It was a kind of fear that made him extremely sad, as if as long as he chose the other side, he would never see his father again…

As a pragmatic theoretical school, Meng Jiuzhao never believed in intuition, “Intuition is something women only have, men have only illusions.” He has always believed so firmly until today——

Thinking of the consequences that might be faced in case of going the wrong way, Meng Jiuzhao decided to believe in his own feelings no matter what.

Whether it is intuition or illusion, always try it out!

“Well, we need to go down and take a look.” Xiaohua finally nodded: “However, you’d better not go down, let me go down.”

“what?”

“Although you have wild intuition, you don’t have a wild body.” Of course, she said, ignoring Meng Jiuzhao’s choking expression, Xiaohua went to find other watery Kantas by herself.

“Well, don’t worry, I’ll take a look in the water for you.” Gently patted Meng Jiuzhao’s shoulder, Louis took George out of his arms and stuffed him into Meng Jiuzhao’s arms. Only then did Louis go with the others who were ready to go into the water. Tas assembled.

In the end, Kantas had Louis, Xiaohua, Jojo and… Yaya.

Yaya’s water quality was not good, but this time he was determined to go down and have a look. There was no way, everyone had to let him go.

“Alice, if Uncle Yaya can’t come up, remember to pick him up. By the way, if you feel uncomfortable breathing down below, come up quickly!” Anxiously asked Alice, Meng Jiuzhao needed them again. I told them what I paid attention to.

Under the eyes of the other Kantas, they were in the water.

Each Kantas is assigned a direction, and they will be responsible for bringing up the vegetation and soil at the bottom of the lake in the area they are responsible for.

Louis is the fastest diving Kantas, only a little slower than Alice. Even during the diving, he has been paying attention to Alice’s reaction. After confirming that everything is going well with the girl, he can safely check the situation at the bottom of the lake. .

The bottom of the lake was very dark. He could only touch it. He stuffed the plants and stones that he could touch into the backpack he carried with him at the fastest speed. He also forgot to dig a bit of mud on the bottom of the lake.

He was the first to dive and the first to come up. Not long after he came up, Xiaohua and the others came up too. According to Kantas’ breath-holding ability, they could stay underwater for that long. Knowing this, they immediately changed their complexion when they found that Fang hadn’t come up after a long time!

***

Holding his breath cautiously, Yaya slowly moved downstream.

Probably because it had just rained, the water in this lake was a bit turbid, and it didn’t take long for Yaya to see his companions at all. Fortunately, Alice was by his side, and the little guy’s tail slowly flapped, and Yaya felt relieved when the water hit him lightly.

Although Yaya’s water quality is not the best among the Kantas, he has a large lung capacity. After diving to the bottom of the lake, he immediately began to collect underwater plants. He planned to end his underwater work as soon as possible and hurry up to the shore.

But he was too unlucky.

Just when he felt that he was about to lose his breath and was about to go ashore, Fang realized that his foot was caught by something. Yaya panicked when he couldn’t get rid of the shackles after pulling hard for several times!

He immediately thought of Alice, but soon he remembered: In order to speed up the collection, he just asked Alice to go nearby to collect dirt!

The violent struggle accelerated the consumption of air. The air previously inhaled into the lungs was soon used up, and the pain of suffocation swept Yaya. After the last few struggles were ineffective, Yaya fell into a state of dying.

Half-conscious, Yaya felt that he heard the familiar low growl again.

“Wake up! Wake up!”

Just like last night, the other party gently called to herself, and then, Yaya felt that the thing that had caught her on her feet was untied, and someone began to pull herself up.

When the big head finally surfaced, Yaya took a breath!

Saved again–

After greedily taking a big breath of air, Yaya finally fell into a coma in relief.

***

As a result, just as all Kantas went into the water to look for Ya Ya, Ya Ya quietly floated up from the bottom of the water.

With a big round belly, Yaya floated on the water safely.

It looks…like dead…

Everyone hurriedly pulled him up, and after a round of punches and kicks, a small fountain spouted from Yaya’s mouth, and he finally woke up faintly.

The first thing Yaya wakes up is to find his savior.

“Hey? Where’s the Kantas that saved me? The Kantas that saved me yesterday! He just saved me!” He yelled, Yaya hurriedly looked at Kantas on the shore, but No matter what he counts, the Kantas on the shore is still the same, there is no more.

“There is no other Kantas, you came up by yourself.” With a strange glance, Meng Jiuzhao quickly asked other Kantas to stand him up so that he could sit more comfortably.

“I checked everything that Louis and the others brought. There was no such gray-green grass in it, so…when you rest, we are going to the place where Alu found the green grass.” See Yaya Still looking dazed, Meng Jiuzhao slowly explained to him what had just happened.

“Thank you so hard.” Meng Jiuzhao thanked Yaya, and then softly apologized, “Sorry.”

Because of his illusion, Yaya almost drowned in this lake, Meng Jiuzhao felt very self-blame in his heart.

“Oh… it’s okay.” Yaya responded blankly, and Yaya wanted to get up. He was still a little confused and needed to hold his cub to comfort him.

As Yaya stood up, the red on his feet attracted Meng Jiuzhao’s attention——

“Ya, what is that?” Meng Jiuzhao stopped him reflexively.

“Huh?” Fang raised his feet unclearly. The huge belly blocked his sight. He still couldn’t see anything after watching for a long time. Finally, Meng Jiuzhao ran over and took out the things between his toes.

This is actually…

a flower?

Fiery red, this is a flower that is incompatible with the dark underwater or the desolate land here.

Vibrant flowers.

The flower of Piansheng was caught in the gap between Fang’s toes and brought up from the bottom of the water by him.

Meng Jiuzhao felt that he had vaguely grasped the key, only a little bit, but he couldn’t say the answer. This feeling was extremely suffocated, and his whole person was very anxious! At this moment, Xiao Hua just passed by.

“Yeah!!! Isn’t this the flower I planted along the way? It finally bloomed! Where did you find it?”

Xiao Hua’s excited words were like a flash of lightning, and instantly cut through the mist in Meng Jiuzhao’s mind. He was enlightened like a great enlightenment, and his whole person was clear!

“Xiaohua, your flower was brought up by Yaya from the bottom of the lake! Sure enough! This… the opposite of this lake is indeed the direction of our hometown——”

His voice was trembling with excitement, and Meng Jiuzhao almost spoke incoherently: The thing that could point home better than the vegetation he recorded was actually the flowers planted along the way!

There are no more flowers here. This is the reason why small flowers grow flowers. Along the way, Xiao Hua planted a seed in every resting place.

If they germinate and bloom smoothly, they will be the best beacon: The vegetation recorded by Meng Jiuzhao is the native plant, and their distribution will be affected by the direction of water currents and wind and even the migration of animals, but the flowers of small flower species will not.

The seeds planted by Xiaohua are unique flowers in his hometown, where they are unique flowers.

It is a pity that the climate here is too bad. Most of these seeds did not survive. However, in this lake where Meng Jiuzhao and the others did not know, there was a seed that sprouted quietly.

Even, it quietly opened up, blooming beautiful fiery red flowers, until it was accidentally brought up by Yaya.

“It’s weird, this kind of flower is not a flower that grows in water~” Little flower sniffed the precious flower carefully, and the little flower mumbled her doubts.

“Probably this place was not originally from a lake.” After thinking for a moment, Meng Jiuzhao said his thoughts: “This place was originally on the normal ground, or because of melting ice, or due to frequent heavy rains. After we came here, it was already here. It has become a lake.”

“Look carefully, this is indeed a recessed land. There was so much water accumulated in a rain yesterday. I guess it didn’t take long for this place to become a lake? Maybe the flowers bloomed before it became a lake.”

Originally, the terrestrial flowers had bloomed under the water. Even Meng Jiuzhao couldn’t understand this truth, but he didn’t intend to figure it out. He had more important things to do.

Using Xiaohua’s flower as important evidence, they finally confirmed the correct way to return home, and now they plan to go home.

It’s not raining now, and the Kantas can actually fly through the wide lake, but in order to take care of Alice, who can only swim, they still choose to swim.

With their cubs on top of their heads, the Kantas were slowly swimming in the lake. The sunset glow enveloped the entire lake and all the Kantas. The lake gave them a bad feeling. But the joy of returning home overwhelmed their disgust at the lake, and they finally landed happily.

Meng Jiuzhao was the first to go ashore. After going ashore, he habitually counted the number of people, but this time he ordered several times.

“What’s wrong?” Louis asked him softly, noticing the strangeness of his partner.

“No, nothing…” Obviously there are 21 male Kantas (+ one human) on their side, but he just counted the number of 22 heads twice.

“Probably my eyes are dazzled.” Shaking his head, he ordered it again. After confirming that all the Kantas were all in place, Meng Jiuzhao led the Haohao Tangtang team to move on.

Not long after they left, it was dark. After Meng Jiuzhao announced that he would set up camp, the Kantas went around looking for food. Today Xiaohua is a great hero, so everyone gave the best meat from their prey to Xiaohua.

“This kind of flower is best to live~ Just throw it in the mud and you can live without watering~” When eating, Xiaohua’s excited voice filled the camp, and he was selling his own flower seeds again, look! His flower planting has done a great job!

“Even if there is no mud, it can live by planting it in the body of a prey. When I was a cub, I accidentally threw the seed into my father’s nostril, and after a month, my father’s nose bloomed~”

Hello! This is a bit scary! Stop——

The other Kantas did not have Meng Jiuzhao’s worries, and chatted with Xiaohua about flower seeds enthusiastically. They looked for Xiaohua and ordered some flower seeds, which they planned to use when the cubs went to the breeding ground in the future.

“Suddenly remembered, in the place where the gray-green grass grows, I seem to have only planted one seed~ It is Kantas who was abandoned by my companions. Do you remember him?”

“Maybe he showed us this flower…”

Just before falling asleep, Xiao Hua suddenly said something like this, and then without realizing that he had said something extraordinary, he fell asleep sweetly.

The other Kantas also fell asleep sweetly.

Only Meng Jiuzhao couldn’t sleep at all.

“Louis, can you turn into a human form and hug me to sleep?” Holding George tightly could not stop the frequency of his body trembling, Meng Jiuzhao trembled and made a request to Louis.

“Okay.” Louis smiled softly. Not only did he change his human form, he also thoughtfully wrapped his partner and cub with his wings.

Surrounded by Louis in all directions, his sense of security returned instantly, feeling the heavy weight of George on his chest, and Meng Jiuzhao finally felt sleepy.

The Kantas who saved the tooth twice… is that Kantas, right?

The young Kantas who was injured and abandoned by his companions, the young Kantas whose body was only half eaten by other animals, and the Kantas who was finally buried by them—

He must really want to go home, surely?

Unfortunately, now, he can only sleep quietly at the bottom of the dark and cold lake.

That’s why he didn’t want to say his name to Yaya.

No one knows his name, no one knows that he will never go back. When his father thinks of him one day, he probably thinks he is still alive somewhere, right?

In deep sadness, Meng Jiuzhao fell asleep.

In the dream, he returned to the huge lake. In the middle of the lake, he saw a black Kantas.

He looked at him in the water.

That’s it.
