Whisper unintentionally

28.

Xu Xiaomai was right in thinking that her weaknesses would be exposed sooner or later, and she immediately exposed her poor swimming skills in front of the little button mother and daughter.

Xu Xiaomai struggled to raise his head to keep his mouth above the water, and dragged his hands and feet under the water, but his forward speed could not be increased no matter what.Naturally, she couldn't swim far with such effort, she leaned against the wall of the central island of the swimming pool to breathe.

The swimming pool is quite large, with three small islands in the center, planted with flowers and trees, the swimming pool becomes twists and turns, allowing people to experience the fun of nature.They didn't expect there was something more natural here.

Xu Xiaomai leaned there panting heavily, and then saw the little button rushing over from a distance, and it was Zi!Depend on!swimming!

Liberty came in front of Xu Maimai, turned over, stretched out his arms, and hung them around Xu Maimai's neck.The little button was too short, and she couldn't step on the bottom of the pool in the deep water area, so she hung it on Xu Xiaomai's neck to rest.

Kou Yaner was left alone by the pool in the distance, she barely swam.Xu Xiaomai thinks that Kou Yaner may be taking care of her face, not showing off her skills, so she is not as childish as Little Button.

Little Button hadn't rested for a few seconds, when she suddenly said "Ah!" in horror, and before Xu Maimai could recover, she turned her head and threw herself into the swimming pool, and kicked Xu Maimai vigorously. Little Button's body jumped several meters away, fleeing in panic in the direction of Kou Yan'er.

Xu Xiaomai staggered from the little button, tried to stand still, turned her head, and suddenly found a huge lizard staring at her proudly.

Xu Xiaomai also ran away, but because of her swimming skills, she made a rational judgment in an instant, no matter how slow she was wading, it was faster than swimming.

Kou Yan'er was first startled by Little Button's scream, and then was startled twice by Xu Xiaomai's hasty demeanor and pitiful escape.She sprinted towards them, very fast.In an instant, he arrived at Xiaokouzi's side.

"Crocodile!" Little Button yelled the moment he met his mother, his voice cracked.Little Button yelled, and continued to rush towards the shore without stopping.

Kou Yan'er's mind buzzed, and he rushed towards Xu Xiaomai more quickly.

Finally reaching Xu Mai's side, Kou Yan'er instinctively hugged her.

"Lizard!" Xu Maimai called out breathlessly.

Kou Yan'er froze for a moment, then looked up at Dao Xin, the big lizard was still staring at them majestically.

Kou Yan'er pushed hard almost angrily, and Xu Xiaomai staggered again, almost falling into the pool.Before Xu Maimai could stand still, Kou Yan'er had already swam towards the shore.

"Hmph! Who is it!" Xu Maimai muttered as he walked towards the shore, but he was very grateful in his heart. Was Kou Yaner's effort to "save her" just now showing his true feelings?

When Xu Xiaomai finally climbed ashore, Kou Yaner was angry with Little Button, "Didn't I show you a lizard? Why is it a crocodile? It's a surprise, I want to scare you to death!"

Little Button blinked in shock, "It's so big, it's a crocodile!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, it's just a giant lizard that looks like a crocodile. Don't blame our little button." Xu Xiaomai picked up two clean towels and threw them to the mother and daughter, making peace. "Dry yourself off and let's go back to take a shower and have dinner, I'm hungry."

After tidying up and sitting at the dining table, Little Button was still at odds with Kou Yaner. She felt that her mother was irritable, unreasonable, and annoying today.

Kou Yan'er was a little unnatural, thinking that she was overreacting, but because Xu Maimai was by her side, she didn't have the nerve to take the initiative to make up with Xiao Button, so she remained silent.

"Little Button, do you know why the lizard's tail is so big and scary?" Xu Xiaomai thought it was time to give Xiao Button a general introduction.

"I don't know." Little Button doesn't like lizards at all now.I was ashamed and scolded by my mother.

"The tail of a lizard is the body's nutrient storehouse. It usually stores excess nutrients in its tail, so a thick tail is a symbol of their strength and status. Like the big lizard we saw just now, you can see how many eyes it has. Sharp."

"Well, it's scary, like a crocodile." Little Button still couldn't help arguing for himself.

"The amazing thing is that when a lizard encounters a natural enemy attack, in order to survive, it will cut off its own tail, and after the tail is cut off, it will continue to twist to lure the enemy, and the body will take the opportunity to escape. The tail can flutter for several minutes after leaving the body Woolen cloth."

"Ah!" Little Button was stunned, "The lizard without a tail is so pitiful."

"Yes, losing a tail means that it has no status in the lizard world. The longer the tail is lost, the lower the status will be. Therefore, the lizard with a broken tail can only bear the humiliation, squeeze nutrients from various parts of the body, and work hard. grow a new tail."

"Ah! Can you grow a new tail?" Little Button was shocked by the story of the lizard.

"Is this story inspiring?" Xu Maimai turned to Kou Yaner.

Kou Yaner just laughed, "Thank you for remembering, popular science knowledge is actually described as an inspirational story."

Xu Xiaomai also smiled, "I used to use it for motivation."
