"You...... Just now, what did you say? The woman asked dumbfoundedly.

"Is there something wrong? I say. Zero-Zero-Three repeated.

"I ......" the woman suddenly let go of her grip on his sleeve and asked, "...... Don't you hate me? ”

"I don't even know you, why should I hate you?" Zero-zero-three rhetorical question.

"You can hate it if you don't know it. It's as if they hate those dervishes begging called Hanako. The woman said, "Everyone who sees me hates me." ”

Her eyes turned red, and she suddenly hid her face and began to cry. Zero Zero Three looked at her silently and did not speak.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the woman's cry was drowned in the sound of the rain, appearing and disappearing.

A deep sleep slowly accumulated on the ground.

The woman finally finished crying in the sound of the rain, and the rain stopped at this time, and Zero Zero Three put away the paper umbrella in his hand.

The woman wiped her face with her dirty sleeves, sniffed, and asked, "Have you ever seen a lotus?" ”

Sure enough, it's this sentence again!

"Who is Lotus?" Zero Zero Three asked her.

"I don't know." The woman said.

"Then why are you looking for her?" Zero-zero-three asked.

"Because I promised someone that I would find her." The woman said, "My name is Eiko, and I come from a very distant place, and that place is called 'Wakasa' by everyone. ”

"She's eight hundred bhikshunis?!" Xiaomei asked.

"That's right." Zero Zero Three said.

"This thing seems to be getting more and more complicated." The little sister touched her chin and said thoughtfully.

"Actually, if you figure it out, you'll find that things aren't complicated at all." Zero Zero Three said, "There have been people chasing mermaids in the Peach Blossom Garden, and two merfolk just escaped near the entrance of the Peach Blossom Garden. One of them was rescued by a fisherman, while the other was separated from them. Just then, another fisherman came and found her. The fisherman wants to take her away, but the merfolk don't want to go, she stays and waits for her companions. The fisherman promised her that he would help her find her companion. ”

"So, the merfolk are waiting for him there? And this mermaid who has been waiting for him all the time is Lotus? Xiaomei asked.

"Not bad." Zero Zero Three said, "I didn't understand why they were chasing the mermaids, but when I learned about the eight hundred bhikshunis, I had some vague guesses. ”

"Later, when you know about the world, there are more things that you can guess?" The little sister's back suddenly cold, and there was a vague guess in her heart. But she couldn't believe it! She didn't even dare to think deeply!

Zero Zero Three looked at the changing expression on Xiaomei's face and continued: "At that time, Yingzi had been ostracized by the people in the village, and the fisherman who suddenly moved in was just as miserable as her. The fisherman had no choice but to leave the place with the mermaid's bones shortly after Eiko left. ”

"Isn't this fisherman the one who rescued the mermaid?" Xiaomei asked.

"That's him." Zero zero three said.

"Then why ......"

"Because when he rescued the mermaid, the mermaid was already dying. When the mermaid was dying, he said a word. ”

"What did she say?" Xiaomei asked.

"Take me to a place away from here! When I died, I boiled my meat for the people there. Zero Zero Three said, "When the mermaid said this, she gritted her teeth. She said, even if I let countless people share it, I won't cheapen them! Also, help me find the lotus!

The fisherman was shocked at first, but he did so.

He put the mermaid in the pot and boiled her as if it were a real fish. The fragrance is overflowing, attracting passers-by outside the window......

Later, when the fisherman left the village and returned to the place where he had rescued the mermaid, he searched everywhere but found no sign of the mermaid, so he began to travel everywhere, hoping to meet her on the way. He has been to many places. I don't know if it's providence, but when he was dying, he met someone again, this person is Yingzi, who is still young and beautiful! ”

At that time, the fisherman finally understood the mermaid's intentions, and also understood why she was hunted down!

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!

"So, the fisherman wants Yingzi to help him find the lost mermaid, Lotus?" Xiaomei asked.

"This is also Hanka's wish. The dead mermaid is called Hanka. Zero Zero Three said.

"Hanxiang ......" lotus is fragrant or not? Xiaomei never paid attention. But the merfolk who have lived in the water for a long time must have known.

"I wonder why they care so much about where they go in recent years." Zero Zero Three said: "Over the years, perhaps, the mermaids in the world have been hunted and killed by them. ”

"What do you mean...... The people in the Peach Blossom Paradise have lost their heavenly stunning, so they wantonly catch mermaids instead? The little sister hesitated again and again, and finally asked.

Although she understands that her strength comes from the Peach Blossom Spring, she ......

In the past, she really never thought about where all this power came from? She originally thought that in the Peach Blossom Spring, she was born like this!

Maybe she had a momentary suspicion, just a moment. Like lightning, she had already disappeared before she could reach for it.

Zero Zero Three didn't speak, but his face sank like water.

"How is this possible!" Xiaomei said excitedly: "No, this is impossible! You're lying to me! Yes, you must be lying to me! ”

Zero Zero Three sneered and asked rhetorically, "Why should I lie to you?" ”

"How do I know why you're lying to me? I'm not you! The little sister said sharply.

"Actually, you already think that there are many problems in the Peach Blossom Garden, but you don't want to believe it all along. Otherwise, why did you refuse to hand over Erhei after finding him? Is it ......?"

"Could it be what?"

"Do you like him?" Zero Zero Three looked directly into the eyes of the little sister: "So, you are reluctant to hand him over?" ”

"Don't talk about it! I don't want to hear it! The little sister suddenly stood up and said to him, "Go out." ”

She walked to the door and squeaked it open.

A large piece of golden sunlight suddenly shone through the door, and outside the door, Erhei lowered his head and kept walking around.

"Erhei? Why are you here? The little sister was stunned.

"You ...... Finished talking? Erhei glanced inside, I don't know why, this room is not big, but even though Erhei pricked up his ears and changed countless postures and angles, he still couldn't hear any sound inside.
