Chapter 211: Like a Fish in Water
Returning from the shallow sea to the mermaid settlement, Sisia ran to her mother and asked her about Aunt Lursa.
"Mom, what was Aunt Liuersai like before, why is Grandpa Shark so kind to her?"
Helia, who was doing something, suddenly heard such a question, she was stunned at first, then looked down at her daughter and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask this question?" ”
"Grandpa Shark took me to find Aunt Ruersai, and Sister Iphimo, he gave Aunt Ruersai a piece of white to let her return to the clan."
Helia stopped what she was doing, put her arms around her daughter, led her out of the room, pointed to the middle sea with a faint blue light on it, and said, "Do you look like the stars in the sky?" ”
Sisia saw the stars in the night sky and immediately shook her head: "The stars look better than them." ”
"A long, long time ago, our shark tribe could still walk freely in the sea, and human beings had not yet dominated the land, at that time, our people believed that the dead people would rise to the sky and become stars, and every time night fell, many people with deceased relatives would float on the sea and sing loudly for their deceased relatives."
"I know this! There is a legend among humans that the "Mermaid Song" is said to be that those who hear the mermaid's song will lose their souls and sink into the sea to become mermaids! ”
Helia frowned: "You listen to them let ...... Sling the bull! Humans are always so fond of making up stories, I don't know how many people have been tricked into going ashore, and then there are no corpses! ”
Finding that her mother was so excited that she almost even swore words, Sixia shrank her head and didn't dare to answer.
The shark people rarely swear, it should be said that this race is born without swearing, and some of the existing uncivilized languages are learned from humans after contact with humans in the last few hundred years, and they are rarely used by the shark people, unless the real love is out of control.
"Later, humans occupied the shallow sea, and even the middle sea area was laid by them with a large number of fishing nets, and the people of the shark tribe were not good at fighting, so they could only retreat, so we lost the starry sky, and there was no one to sing for the deceased relatives."
"But does this have anything to do with Aunt Liuersai and Grandpa Shark King?"
"Remember your grandmother Helamos?"
"I remember my mother told me a lot about my grandmother, such as how she taught her when she was a child how to steer with her tail and balance with her side fins."
"The old shark king is very fond of your grandmother Heramos, and has been pursuing her since she was an adult, but has not succeeded, on the day of her death, the old shark king specially chose a clear sky night to sing for her on the sea, his singing voice is very sad, touched the sea god, that night there was a huge tsunami in that sea, and then, Liuersai was born."
"Ahh Such a coincidence? ”
"Because he couldn't often go to the shallow sea to sing, the old mermaid king looked up at these glimmers of light at the bottom of the sea to express his sorrows, until one day, he saw Ryulsey."
"Is she similar to Grandma Helamos?"
"It's very similar, except that the age can be said to be the same, if it weren't for the fact that she was engaged to Pross when she was born, maybe the old shark king would let her marry Crown Prince Oset and become the next queen."
"What did Aunt Lursai look like when she was still a shark? Is she as beautiful as your mother? ”
“……”
"Mom?"
"I hate to admit it, but dear Sicia, I really haven't seen a better girl than the one I once used to be."
……
At dusk, Pros, tired from the bow of the ship, returned to the cabin, took off his black robe, which had become a little heavy from the humidity of the sea, rubbed his hair full of moisture, and found something to eat in the kitchen to fill his stomach.
It's past dinner now, and Lulsai hasn't gone out in the cabin, so why don't you come to eat?
Could it be that some potion or magic is being studied in the room?
Or maybe you're thinking about something?
Knowing that the old shark king had come to her during the day, Pross thought the latter was more likely.
Single-handedly improving the relationship between the shark clan and humans, the psychological pressure on Lursai must be not small.
After thinking about it, Pross decided to bring the food to her room, so he stuffed it into his stomach in three or two bites, carefully picked up the plate and walked towards Liulsai's room.
Before approaching Liuersai's room, Pros sniffled and asked about a faint smell of blood in the air, and a cool air immediately rose on his back, twitching his nose everywhere, looking for the source of the smell of blood.
The mermaid is not good at smelling, and even after becoming a human, since he can smell it, it is enough to prove how strong this smell is at the source of the taste.
Soon, Pros was so frightened that he couldn't even hold his plate, because he could already smell that the source of the smell of blood was Ursay's room!
Putting down the plate, Pros lay on the door of Lulsey's room, knocking on the door and shouting: "Lulsey, are you in there?" Answer me? ”
There was a noise in the door, as if some bottles and cans had been swept off the table to the floor, making a ping-pong sound.
Pros listened with his ears pricked up for a long time, making sure that he did not hear Lursey's voice, so he became even more anxious.
"Answer me, if you hear it, Lyursay! Otherwise, I'll hit the door! ”
There was the sound of something dragging on the wooden floor, followed by the sound of the window opening, and the sound of wind and waves could be heard through the window.
However, there was still no voice from Ryulse.
GLP gritted his teeth, took two steps back, and slammed the door!
"Bang!"
The wooden door was cracked, but it hadn't been kicked open yet, and the scene inside the room could be faintly seen through the crack.
GLP hurried forward, calling out Rulse's name as he tried to find her.
A bright red shadow flashed from the corner, and then he heard the sound of something falling into the sea, "poof", very loud.
"?!! of Ryulsey"
The room was quiet and there was no sound.
Pros, so frightened that his heart was about to jump out, he slammed his shoulder into the wooden door, but in three blows, the wooden door was completely knocked away by him and fell to the floor inside the door.
The room was a mess, but there was no one, no other living creatures, and there was some liquid on the floor, which smelled like some kind of potion.
Pross glanced around the room and saw nothing of note, so he rushed to the open window and looked out, but saw nothing but the endless sea.
Suddenly, he looked down at the window frame, raised his right hand that was holding on the window frame just now, and found that there was a bright red scale in the palm of his hand, which seemed to be sealed with a flame, comparing the sunset that was about to sink to the horizon not far away.
Looking at this familiar scale, Pros was stunned for a long time, and by the time he came back to his senses, it was getting dark.
Looking back at the messy room, he had a bold but very clue-based guess in his heart.
His Rulse, at last, has returned.
Pinching the bright red scales, Pros excitedly circled in place, standing or sitting, wanting to jump, but there were too many debris on the ground, and if he accidentally fell, it would be ugly, and he could only stomp his feet on the spot to express his emotions.
After being excited for more than half an hour, Pros finally calmed down and put the scale in front of his eyes and looked at it over and over again.
After all these years, seeing such an exciting color again, he still couldn't help but be intrigued, with a feeling that the whole world was hidden in it, compared to the color of his own scales......
Pros's hands froze, holding the scales still.
He suddenly realized a problem.
Lursey went back, so what about him?
……
……
The sea water filled the gills, and the fatal feeling of suffocation just now finally disappeared, Yang Qinglan gulped "gasps", and it took a long time to smooth out her breathing, and then she had the energy to look at the surrounding scene.
She had just studied the white "rice cake" in her room, and no matter how she used it, she couldn't break or cut it, it didn't dissolve in water, it didn't deform in the slightest bit when it was roasted by fire, and even when it was just taken off the fire, it was still so close to the temperature of body temperature, neither hot nor cold.
There was not a trace of this thing in the old witch's memory, and she had no idea what the old mermaid meant by giving it to her.
Regression?
Revert back to the Shark Clan?
The original owner, Lulsey, didn't think about it, but she wasn't Ifim, and it didn't take long for her to become a human, and she had been living in human form for decades, from a girl to an old witch, and the magic of ordinary humans turned into mermaids had lost its effect on her.
Could it be that this thing can help her turn back into a shark?
But what the hell is this? Can you eat something that doesn't go bad no matter what? Aren't you afraid of indigestion?
Yang Qinglan held the "rice cake" in front of her eyes, carefully stretched out her tongue and licked it.
Seems a little sweet?
Before she could finish her aftertaste, the "rice cake" in her hand suddenly melted into water and automatically drilled into her mouth, so fast that she didn't have time to react at all.
Immediately afterward, she felt a sharp pain coming from all over her body, especially her legs, which were almost like being run over by a road roller, from the tips of her toes to the base of her thighs.
The sharp pain caused her mind to collapse immediately, and her physiological self-protection function activated, plunging her into darkness.
She was awakened.
It's as if the whole head is covered with several layers of plastic bags, and the mouth is still tightly tied around the neck, and she will suffocate to death if she is not allowed to breathe.
Desperately opening her eyes, Yang Qinglan found that she was not covered by someone, obviously there was nothing in front of her, but her mouth and nose couldn't get oxygen from the air at all, no matter how big she was.
It was at this moment that she heard the shouts of GLP outside the door.
"Come in and help me!" She wanted to shout, but she couldn't make a sound.
Struggling to prop herself up from the ground, she found that her eyes were already darkening due to lack of oxygen.
But no matter how dark it was, she still saw the bright red fishtail below her waist, which looked so beautiful.
What the hell is this?!
The surprise was only for a moment, because she immediately understood that she was now a shark body, and if she didn't go into the water again, she wouldn't have a chance to think again, and she would die in the cabin.
Holding the table up from the ground with all her might, regardless of the bottles and cans that she swept to the ground, and regardless of the sound of kicking the door behind her, she moved to the window and opened it, and used her last strength to climb out of the window.
Touching the gills behind her ears, a subtle emotion rose in Yang Qinglan's heart.
No matter what the task is, this is the real thing.
