476, the legendary Kraken (8)
The mermaids' food is mainly plankton, small fish and shrimp, seaweed, etc., and they don't like to eat human food, Yuna gave them food, Miller said that it was similar to gnawing on tree bark, but they liked the cream made by Mazzie's mother.
"It's amazing. Miller cheered and took the cream handed over by Tong Xinlan, and suddenly remembered the little friend who couldn't eat, "It's a pity that Agatha and they went home and couldn't eat it." ”
"It's okay, I'll make them a lot of cream to eat in the future, Miller, you can eat it with confidence." "Trouble Miller to do things, you have to compensate him, otherwise Tong Xinlan is reluctant to let Miller be this free laborer, if it weren't for Tong Xinlan's lack of ability to float on water, she really doesn't want to trouble Miller.
Miller is not used to using a spoon, he uses a spoon to take the cream from the jar is also very serious, watching Miller lick the cream on the spoon with relish, Tong Xinlan feels that he is not like a mermaid but like a cat.
"Originally, I wanted to come back to you tomorrow, but I was worried about my dad, I had a very bad dream, so I gave my lucky seashell you gave me to my dad, but I still can't rest assured of him, I want to catch up with dad to see how dad is doing, Miller, can you catch up with dad and their ship? I'm just afraid that it will be too late to chase tomorrow, so I'm here today." ”
Miller turned his head to look at the red sun that was about to fall into the sea, and said worriedly, "It's going to be dark soon, doesn't it matter if you travel at night? It's very cold in the ocean at night, you humans can't stand it, and your ship can't make a fire to keep warm, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold." ”
"It's okay Miller, tarps, blankets. I have all the food, wrap the blanket tightly and wrap the tarp outside, it won't be cold at all, do you think I'll be so stupid and let myself freeze?" Yuna and Miller's way of getting along is such an attitude of not admitting defeat, and Tong Xinlan is also the first time to play a more awkward character.
"Well, we Yuna are the smartest, well, do you know the route of your father's merchant ship?" asked him, and Miller quickly scooped up another spoonful of cream.
"I know. This is Daddy's route. I wrote it all down. "Bertram was a sailor, and his two older brothers were also sailors' apprentices, and Yuna learned a lot of basic nautical knowledge, and drawing nautical charts was not the most professional. But it's also much better than a layman.
The Romney Merchant Ship Fortune, which Bertram traveled on his mission, took a similar route every time. But that was without storms and pirates. If you add the sea area where the accident happened after the three survivors in the previous life came back, Tong Xinlan thought about the time of the accident again, and then estimated and drew a general range. But there are also three routes that need to be verified.
Miller didn't know human writing, but he played with Yuna since he was a child, and over the years, he was also taken by Yuna to recognize a few words.
In particular, Yuna didn't go to school, and the words she learned were also the words she learned when her father and brother taught her nautical charts, so this simple nautical chart drawn by Tong Xinlan was even understood by Miller with words.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, the speed of the three-masted sailing merchant ship was about 25 kilometers per hour, the swimming speed of dolphins was 40 kilometers per hour, and Miller's parade speed was faster than that of dolphins.
Even if the Romney company really arranged piracy or internal anti-water, it could not happen during the day, and it would be seen during the day, combined with the time, it is unlikely that it will be done tonight, it is likely to be the second night of the voyage, so during the day today, Tong Xinlan is not in a hurry, and if she chases tonight, she should be able to catch up with Bertram's ship in time.
If she was late, Tong Xinlan couldn't help it, and she didn't figure out the situation during the day, so catching up with her might not be able to save Bertram.
"Then let's take this route first, it's easier to walk this way tonight, if Uncle Bertram is not there, we won't go too against the current in the other direction, which will save us a lot of time and effort. Miller was more aware of the sea route, pointing to the nautical chart drawn by Tong Xinlan and pointing out the route.
"Then please, Miller, I'm glad you're here, otherwise I'd have been in a hurry. In fact, if Yuna didn't accidentally make a mistake, Miller and they wouldn't have suffered any accidents, so Tong Xinlan didn't feel that she was doing these things to help Miller avenge them or that she was doing the job of saving mermaids, so she could ask them to do things without burden, but felt a little guilty.
"Yuna, how did you become so polite?What kind of dreams did you have that scared you so much that you didn't look like you, I found you absent-minded in the morning, is there anything you can't tell me?" Miller put down the jar and looked at Tong Xinlan with those green eyes worriedly.
Tong Xinlan hesitated twice, and simply said what happened in the previous life as a dream to Miller, perhaps influenced by Yuna's guilt, Tong Xinlan couldn't cry when she said the back, "Miller, I'm sorry, it's my distrust that hurt you." ”
Miller moved the fishtail back, sat down towards Tong Xinlan, hugged Tong Xinlan in his arms, patted her back and comforted, "It's okay, it's just a dream, isn't it?"
But it wasn't a dream.
Tong Xinlan could feel a pain in her heart, perhaps Yuna felt that another meaning of Miller's words was that if it wasn't a dream, he wouldn't forgive.
However, Miller went on to say, "Even if everything happened in the dream, it wasn't Yuna's intention, Yuna, you didn't betray us, it's all the fault of those greedy humans, Yuna is not wrong, Yuna was also ruined by them, Yuna is also a victim, don't blame yourself for everything, when did Yuna become so responsible? Admit all the mistakes of others? Look at you, a dream can scare you like this, if Natalie and they know, they will laugh at you." ”
Although Miller has the smell of the sea, there is no fishy smell, and there is an inexplicable sense of security leaning on his shoulder, perhaps because Yuna was saved by him, so the feeling of reliability will always remain in Yuna's subconscious, so that Tong Xinlan is also affected.
Coupled with Miller's words, it can be regarded as a complete end to Yuna's guilt for the mermaids, Tong Xinlan felt that the stone called guilt that was pressing on her heart finally rolled to the ground, "Thank you Miller, I feel much better, you must not tell Natalie, I don't want to be teased by her." ”
