Hearing this, Shu Kui's heart suddenly lit up - no wonder he felt that the name salmon was familiar, it turned out that the girl in the dream had mentioned it.

"Isn't it highly poisonous?" She remembered saying so in her dream.

Xiao Sun looked at her and was a little surprised: "Yes, but as long as it is properly matched, it is indeed a rare good medicine." However, the requirements for pharmacists are high, and not just anyone dares to use them. ”

"Do you know who has used it?" Shu Kui is very curious about the identity of the girl.

"I don't know." Xiao Sun wiped the dagger with the hem of his clothes, "Do you still want the lotus peng?" ”

"Can you ask for it? Will there be any more jumps? Shu Kui likes the crystal clear lotus canopy very much, and he is also afraid of being frightened again.

Xiao Sun smiled, leaned over and cut off the lotus pod three times and divided it by two, and threw it next to the big fish: "Go, boil the fish head and eat it." ”

"Take it back and let Uncle Qiao cook it?" This was Shu Kui's first reaction.

"No, I will." Xiao Sun paddled, "By the way, what's your name?" ”

Shu Kui reported his name, saw that he was in a good mood, and asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Your hair color is very special, is it natural?" ”

Xiao Sun still smiled and didn't answer, but said: "Sunflower, it's very good, it feels very sunny." ”

"What about you? What's Sun called? Shu Kui asked casually.

No, Xiao Sun was silent for two seconds and said, "I don't have the surname Sun." ”

Shu Kui let out an "oh", embarrassed and didn't know what to say next.

"My name is Ao Lingyang." Xiao Sun told his real name in a hearty way.

"Then should I change my name to Xiao Ao?" Shu Kui was joking.

"No, I don't want those people to know my name." Xiao Sun paddled a few times on one side, making the boat turn a ninety degree turn.

"Where are we going?" Shu Kui remembers that there was no such a big turn when he came.

Xiao Sun is obviously very familiar with this place: "There is a place to have a picnic in front. ”

After saying this, he drew a short section forward, and a piece of land gradually emerged from the mist.

It was a very small island, about twenty square meters, with a shelf in the middle with tree branches, and a large casserole with burnt charcoal ash underneath, and a pile of firewood neatly stacked next to it.

Xiao Sun went into the water, pushed the boat to the shore, lifted the fish, tilted his head, and motioned for Shu Kui to follow.

Shu Kui hesitantly stepped on the island, looked around, and saw that the surroundings were still foggy, and he couldn't see where he was.

And the little grandson over there has already begun to be busy, scraping the scales, cutting the belly of the fish, and finally cleaning it, cutting off the head of the fish, and putting it in a casserole to cook with the pond water.

"Don't you want to know if my hair color is natural?" After doing this, he sat on the ground, beckoned to Shu Kui, and patted his side, "There is a Liuyu Sea in the Kuixian Country, do you know?" ”

"I don't know." Shu Kui went over and sat down.

Xiao Sun said "um": "No wonder, now, there should be no one living there and it is deserted." ”

"Where are you from?" Shu Kui suddenly thought that on the way back from Shengze Kingdom, Ling Jiuchuan had said that in the Kuixian Country, there were fights between various clans from time to time, and it was not surprising that the weak ones were exterminated.

Xiao Sun nodded: "My hair color is natural, and I am the youngest prince of the merman clan." ”

"Sharks? Prince? Shu Kui couldn't react a little, "Isn't King Kuixian surnamed Ling?" ”

Xiao Sun thought for a while: "According to your human words, Liuyuhai is equivalent to the vassal states divided by King Kuixian, when the royal city is attacked, the royal family is in trouble, we must work together to protect it." ”

"Then you are still under the control of King Kuixian." Shu Kui can roughly understand the meaning of "vassal states".

"Yes." Xiao Sun stared at the flames, "When you were in the Three Frontiers, didn't you hear anyone mention us very often?" ”

"I haven't heard much about it." Shu Kui told the truth.

Hearing this, Xiao Sun showed a desolate smile on his face: "Yes, I am the only one left in the whole clan, and we have been completely forgotten." ”

"What's going on?" Shu Kui didn't expect him to be an orphan, and he couldn't help but feel compassion in his heart.

"You should know about the candle and the summer solstice, right?" Xiao Sun picked up the short wooden stick in his hand and threw it into the fire.

Shu Kui nodded-what Bai Jingzhi said, she still remembers it vividly.

"At that time, my grandfather was still alive, but he had already given up the throne to my father, and when they heard that King Yukun was in trouble, they rushed to the capital with my brother and me, as well as a team of several thousand people." Xiao Sun remembered the distant past.

"Don't you live in water? Can you fight a war on land? Also, shouldn't your lower body be a fish tail? "Shu Kui's mind is full of the image of a mermaid in a fairy tale.

"When I'm in the water, I have a fish's tail on the lower half of my body, and when I get on land, I can take on the form of a human. We can also go ashore, but after going ashore, the combat effectiveness will be weakened. Xiao Sun explained, and continued, "I was still a child at the time, a little younger than Ling Jiuchuan, and my task was to accompany him. It was a terrible battle, we hid behind the guards and watched people fall, my grandfather and father were killed, even Elder Yu was sacrificed, the palace was beaten to pieces, there was fire everywhere, blood everywhere. ”

Shu Kui was silent, and could fully imagine the scene and the mood of the two children.

"In the end, it was King Yukun who escorted us to escape." Xiao Sun exhaled a long breath, "Then, after I got separated from Ling Jiuchuan, I never returned to Kuixian." ”

"How did you get here?" Shu Kui thought, maybe now, he can finally find a way out.

"I don't know." Xiao Sun shook his head, "I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, I was lying here, and the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Huang Xiao." ”

"He brought you here?" Shu Kui always felt that this housekeeper was the key.

Xiao Sun still shook his head: "At first, I thought it was him, but he made it clear that he was just a housekeeper and only assigned my work, and the rest was not clear." ”

"Who is it that made this place?" Shu Kui also sighed.

"It's my enemy, and I can recognize that face when it turns to ashes." Xiao Sun gritted his teeth and said, with a hideous expression on his face.

Shu Kui was surprised by his deep hatred and was speechless for a while.

Xiao Sun realized that he was a little out of shape, calmed down, and got up to check the fish soup that had been rolled away: "He killed my brother and sister, mother, and clansmen, right here, in front of me." ”

"Why?" Shu Kui wanted to open her mouth to comfort, but the shock made her just want to know the reason.

"For the sake of the shark bead." Xiao Sun put the lid on the pot, and when he came back, he was already calm, "He wants me to cry." ”

"Why? Aren't all mermaid tears turned into beads? Shu Kui remembered that it was written in the book.

Xiao Sun looked at her and asked rhetorically, "Have you ever seen a shark pearl?" ”

"Probably not." When Shu Kui went out shopping, he only saw small freshwater pearls with irregular shapes, or imitation beads.

"If all the sharks could cry pearls, the shark pearls in the Three Frontiers would have been flooded long ago." Xiao Sun pointed to his eyes, "You come and see." ”

Shu Kui leaned over without thinking about it, but when he looked closely, he didn't find anything: "What are you looking at?" ”

Xiao Sun didn't make a sound, only blinked his eyes twice.

Shu Kui was immediately surprised to find that the liquid in his eyes had actually gathered, and after a second, it spread out of his eye socket and condensed into a small white bead on his lower eyelashes.

Xiao Sun reached out and took off the beads and held them in the palm of his hand: "A merman like me who has particularly developed tear ducts and tears can condense into beads will only produce one in several generations." ”

Shu Kui took the beads and looked at them again and again, and felt that they were very similar to the most common freshwater pearls, but they were much smaller and the surface was not smooth enough.

"This kind of teardrop is called teardrops, no one wants it when it is thrown on the ground, and it is worthless." Xiao Sun looked at the bead, "What can be called a shark bead is the condensation of tears that flow out when you are really sad and painful, the stronger the feelings, the bigger, smoother, and more valuable the bead." ”

"Then when you cried when you were a child, you must be full of shark beads." Shu Kui half-jokingly.

"Before we were eight years old, we cried tears." Xiao Sun didn't laugh, gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't cry, I haven't cried, I haven't shed a single tear, I won't let him succeed." ”

Shu Kui looked at his resolute and handsome face, and his heart was moved for no reason.

After Xiao Sun was silent for a moment, the conversation changed: "For a long time, I didn't talk much, they didn't know my name, they only knew that I was the second grandson, so they called me the little grandson of the shark family, and then they thought it was too long, so they directly changed their name to the little grandson, and then later, they simply became the little grandson." ”

Shu Kui responded, barely hearing what he was saying, his ears were full of only his own pounding heartbeat, and his face was spicy.

Xiao Sun didn't notice the change in her at all, and after saying this, he got up again, went to the firewood pile and picked a few twigs, washed them with pond water, and then put them in the pot to scald, ready to use them as chopsticks.

And Shu Kui kept sitting in place and didn't move, lowering his head as if he had done something wrong, for fear of being found out about his embarrassment.

"Alright, let's eat." Xiao Sun extinguished the fire and beckoned.

"Oh." Shu Kui patted his face, took a deep breath, stood up, and walked over.

The head of the fish is a huge one, lying quietly in a half pot of white soup, with its mouth open, and its fangs are clearly visible.

"Can you really eat it?" Shu Kui still has palpitations.

Xiao Sun didn't answer, so he took the lead in picking up a piece of fish, blowing it, and putting it in his mouth.

Seeing him like this, Shu Kui's worries disappeared by half, but he still didn't dare to get down.

"Here, taste." Xiao Sun simply sandwiched another piece of fish meat and handed it directly to Shu Kui's mouth.

Shu Kui instinctively shrank back, looked at Xiao Sun, looked at the fish and meat, and was suspicious: "You won't eat the dead, right?" ”

"No, it won't." Xiao Sun replied affirmatively, "I think that at the beginning, your ancestors did not hesitate to harm themselves and bleed as bait, just to eat this bite of fish, don't you wonder how delicious this fish is?" ”

Shu Kui hesitated for a few more seconds, and finally carefully took the fish.

"How?" Xiao Sun observed Shu Kui's expression.
