Beiyue stood on the long shore of the East China Sea with his hands in his hands, and the waves kept surging ashore.

The damp sea breeze blew through her, lifting a few pieces of her clothes.

Pan Xiaole came over from the side, "Mi'er, I went over there to see, there are a few small fishing villages." Shen Youqing and Huang Shao were looking for an inn in the village. Before dark, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with any big villages. ”

Beiyue stretched out her hand and pointed, "Look." ”

Pan Xiaole stretched his neck, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at this sea, whether it is calm or the waves are magnificent. ”

This question was clueless, and Pan Xiaole looked at the sea again.

It was almost dark, the sun was sinking in the west, and the tide seemed to be beginning to recede, and the waves were not too big, but only surging to the feet.

Pan Xiaole muttered, "This sea is still calm." ”

Beiyue bowed his head, "It's really calm." Then you say, since we can't go to the deep sea, how can we ask the merman clan for magic crystals?"

Pan Xiaole also thought about this for a long time.

"We can do enchantments, no. "I've also gone to the bottom of the Washing Knife Lake, and the East China Sea is about no problem.

"Yes. But what if the barrier is broken?" "After all, the Washing Knife Lake is so big, there is still a glimmer of hope when you hold your breath.

If you really go to the bottom of the East China Sea, holding your breath will be of little use.

Pan Xiaole scratched his head, "What should I do then?"

Before coming to the East China Sea, Beiyue really didn't come up with any ideas, but at this time, when she saw the waves and the calm sea, she suddenly had an idea.

Since they couldn't go down, they called the mermaids out.

Give them a reason to come and see themselves.

The two hands behind him twisted, and he hadn't done anything bad for a long time.

Thinking of this, Beiyue snorted, turned around and patted Pan Xiaole on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go to the inn first and have a good rest." ”

It was getting dark, and soon the sun was hidden in the waves, and the stars were twinkling.

The small fishing village that Pan Xiaole said is really a very small fishing village.

In the inconspicuous corners of the coast of the East China Sea, there are many such fishing villages.

There are only a few hundred families in a village, and several families buy fishing boats together, and the young and middle-aged men go out to sea every day to fish, while the women repair the nets and take care of the children at home.

The fish is sold at a nearby market, or there are restaurants in nearby towns that have special people to collect them.

The fishing village here is also in this pattern.

Shen Youqing found a simple inn, separated the front and back yards, the front hall was for eating, and there was a row of guest rooms in the backyard, only five, which were all covered by Shen Youqing.

This is really a big customer for the store. He asked his fifteen-year-old son to clean all five guest rooms, went to the neighbor's house to collect some fresh seafood that had not been sold, and made a large pot of hot rice to serve Shen Youqing and his party.

When Beiyue arrived at the inn, the rice was just on the table.

Shen Youqing and Huang Shao were busy working in the backyard for a while, and they were hungry at this time.

Seeing Beiyue and Pan Xiaole coming, he opened the dishes and chopsticks, "Eat quickly, it's just done." ”

The shopkeeper was a man of about forty, dressed in a patched cloth coat, and brought a plate of vinegar to the table.

"Guest officer, have all the people arrived?" he looked at Shen Youqing with a slight restraint.

Shen Youqing stroked his clothes and bowed his chin, "It's here, hurry up and serve the food." ”

Beiyue and Pan Xiaole sat down at the table. Beiyue picked up the bamboo chopsticks, dipped them in vinegar and licked them to her lips, "The vinegar has been taken out, I guess I treat you as a distinguished guest." ”

In these places, it is not easy to have a spice like vinegar.

Huang Shao didn't care whether he was jealous or not, and said, "It's not that we can't go to a bigger town, why do we want to live in this fishing village?"

He stretched out his clothes and approached Pan Xiaole's eyes, "You smell it, it's been a long time, and it's full of fishy smell." I don't know, I thought I was a fisherman. ”

Pan Xiaole pushed his arm away, "I don't like to be here, you can go." ”

"You're a man...... I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it. It's not just the taste, you feel the dampness. I just went to the guest room, and even the table and chairs are moldy. ”

Huang Shao said very reasonably, although Shen Youqing didn't speak, it was also strange.

Only Pan Xiaole, who has no brains, said what Beiyue said and what it was, and never considered why.

At this time, the shopkeeper came over with a huge basin and placed it on the table. When I lifted the lid, I saw a pot full of seafood.

Long shrimp with fish, crab, conch, clam, kelp.

The heat of the white flowers bubbles out, making people's index fingers move.

Pan Xiaole looked at it and laughed, "Wow, this is a hodgepodge." ”

The store was a little embarrassed, "Treat yourself a few days ago, there was a storm a few days ago, and the recent market was not open, so I couldn't buy meat and fresh vegetables, so I could only grieve you." Although the shrimp and crab are not fat now, the taste is fresh, so everyone can make do with it. ”

Beiyue picked up a shrimp, and the red shrimp was half a palm's length. When you get to the tip of your nose and smell it, the fishy smell is authentic. Peel the shell and take a bite, the meat is tender and delicious.

"The shop doesn't have to be humble, if you put this kind of seafood in the town, it's not cheap. "Kitatsuki Road.

"It's good if the guest officer doesn't dislike it. The shopkeeper smiled shyly, "The small ones are in the back kitchen, and there are still fresh goods, if they are not small enough, they will be made for the guest officers." ”

Shen Youqing bowed, and the shopkeeper went out cautiously.

Pan Xiaole began to peel the crab, and before he finished peeling it, a plate was delivered to him, full of crab meat and shrimp meat.

Pan Xiaole looked up to see that Huang Shao was wiping his hands, and when he saw her looking at herself, he raised his chin, "Eat, look at what I'm doing." If you're stupid like this, it's estimated that it will take you a day to peel a crab. ”

Pan Xiaole lowered his head and ate meat silently.

Beiyue tapped the table with chopsticks, "In front of us, pay attention." ”

Huang Shao didn't care, "I can't stand it, close my eyes." ”

Beiyue shook her head.

Shen Youqing said, "Mi'er, what are your plans?"

Beiyue smiled, "You know where this is?"

Where could such a dilapidated fishing village be?

"It is the village where the mother of the mermaid king lives today. ”

Pan Xiaole raised his head, "That's the one you said, the legendary fisherman's girl?"

Beiyue bowed her head, "That's her." ”

Shen Youqing looked around, "How come, did you see it when you came, this is just an ordinary village, not rich, and nothing special." ”

Beiyue said lightly, "You haven't heard what the store said just now, there was a storm a few days ago, which caused the market to be closed." ”

"Isn't it normal to have wind and waves on the beach?" asked Pan Xiaole.

"If it's a normal sea, it's normal. It's just that this is no ordinary sea. This fishing village is poorer than other fishing villages, because the wind and waves here are stronger than elsewhere. ”

Huang Shao narrowed his eyes, "Here, shouldn't it be a special region?"

"Naturally, because it's special. Beiyue put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, "This is the estuary of the three rivers, and the hundred rivers enter the sea, and the natural waves are bigger than other places." And because it is an estuary, the mermaid country has an outpost here to detect the amount of fresh water entering the sea. ”

Pan Xiaole bit his chopsticks, "Where is that outpost?"

"Nature doesn't call you to know that at the bottom of the sea. "Kitatsuki Road.

"But so what? There is a sentry, what can we do?" Pan Xiaole asked again.

Beiyue looked out the window, "The shark is too late, tie her up." ”
