Chapter 25: Don't Get Too Close to Him
Xiao Sun said "um" and didn't explain much.
Shu Kui felt that he didn't seem to be very happy, as if he had something on his mind, and he didn't want to ask too much, but when he saw that his lower body was still a fishtail, he had nothing to say: "I thought that as soon as you arrived at a place where there was no water, you would automatically become human." ”
When Xiao Sun heard this, he looked at her for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you want me to become a human now?" Okay, but for the record, there are no pants here, I'm naked. ”
Shu Kui's face turned red, and he couldn't talk, so he could only smile awkwardly.
Xiao Sun breathed a sigh of relief and picked up her previous topic: "Those glowing fish are called Lanni, if you like it, I'll help you catch some and bring them back." ”
"Did you call these fish?" Shu Kui remembered that Lan Ni appeared after Xiao Sun hummed a song.
"They just felt the vibrations and gathered together." Xiao Sun was noncommittal.
Speaking of this, Shu Kui was a little puzzled: "By the way, what's going on with that rapids?" Even if the water is brought in from outside, there should not be such a rapid flow in the pond. ”
"It's Huang Xiao." Xiao Sun knew very well who was the troublemaker.
"He? Why? Shu Kui still didn't understand.
"Because ......," Xiao Sun choked, "you want to ask me to go up and work." ”
"Oh yes, you haven't cleaned up the weeds yet." Shu Kui remembered what Huang Xiao said yesterday.
Xiao Sun looked stunned and didn't say anything.
"Then let's go up." Shu Kui stood up, "Save him from coming to you again." ”
"Ignore him." Xiao Sun was unhappy, "What do I love to do, anyway, I've been locked up for so long, it's a big deal." If you have the ability, go down to the water and look for me. ”
"You've been here for almost a thousand years, haven't you?" Saying this, Shu Kui remembered that he was also imprisoned here, "Have you ever thought about escaping?" ”
"Of course I did." Xiao Sun couldn't help but sigh, "But the enchantment that covers this place is too strong to run away at all." ”
Even when he said this, Shu Kui's heart was suddenly full of disappointment.
"Sit." Xiao Sun took her hand, "Do you want to hear about me and Ling Jiuchuan when I was a child?" ”
This sentence was clueless, and Shu Kui was a little stunned, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.
"If you want to hear me, I'll tell you something." Xiao Sun blinked.
Shu Kui looked at him and knew that he had something else to say, so he sat down again.
Xiao Sun immediately approached, wrapped his hands around her waist, and held her tightly in his arms.
Shu Kui's face turned red again, he was very embarrassed, and he twisted a few times to break free.
"Don't move, listen to me." Xiao Sun leaned into her ear and lowered his voice to the lowest, "I can take you out." ”
"Really?" Shu Kui almost jumped up.
Xiao Sun's hand tightened, and his lips moved to her neck: "Shh, don't get excited." ”
"Can you hear me?" Shu Kui also lowered his voice.
"Yes." Xiao Sun's voice became softer and softer, "He is paying attention to me now, speaking in a normal voice, and he can hear it more or less." ”
"Then how are we going to ......" Shu Kui's words only dared to say half of it.
"The passage is almost finished." Xiao Sun replied succinctly.
"Where?" Shu Kui didn't dare to move, so he had to desperately turn his eyes.
Xiao Sun raised his head and gently scraped her face: "Don't worry, I'll show you." ”
"Why are you suing me?" Shu Kui thought, there must be such a thing as a secret passage, the less people know about it, the better.
"You are Ling Jiuchuan's people." Xiao Sun said, "Send you back, and I will ask him to help me restore the country." ”
There is no problem with this reason.
Xiao Sun saw that Shu Kui was silent, and said, "I will also ask Ling Jiuchuan to let me take you to Liuyuhai with me." ”
"To the Liuyu Sea?" Shu Kui's heart skipped a beat.
"Don't you want to see where I was born?" Xiao Sun's voice was soft and soft, full of nostalgia for his hometown, "Every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the biggest day of the moon, the sea is shining with silver, I sit on the reef with my grandfather, parents, and brothers and sisters, drinking and chatting, the surroundings are very quiet, only the sound of the waves, but it is better than any beautiful music." ”
Shu Kui listened, and a quiet sea seemed to appear in front of him, with a bright moon hanging high above it, and a picturesque family below, enjoying themselves.
"Never again." Xiao Sun returned to reality from his memory, and his eyes dimmed.
"The sea will be better than before." Shu Kui comforted.
Xiao Sun looked at her and smiled: "Yes, it will be better, so, would you like to go with me?" ”
Shu Kui opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Xiao Sun didn't want to push too hard: "Forget it, this, let's talk about it after we get out." ”
Shu Kui breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still beating fast.
"Let's go, go up." Xiao Sun finally let go of his hand and no longer lowered his voice, "You still have to do the work that needs to be done." ”
After speaking, he collected the bubbles and pulled Shu Kui back to the pond.
"After lunch, I'll be waiting for you at the pool." He said.
Shu Kui nodded, put on the bath towel placed on the shore, and returned to the villa.
It was still a little early, there was no one in the house, she took a shower and changed her clothes, and read a book on the sofa in the living room as usual.
Xiao Sun was clearing weeds in the yard, and his light blue hair appeared and disappeared in the green.
Shu Kui occasionally looked up, and in a trance, he actually felt that they were like a young couple, enjoying a leisurely holiday time.
Not long after, lunch was ready, Shu Kui finished eating as if he had completed his task, and just put down the dishes and chopsticks, he saw Aunt Liu standing at the table.
Shu Kui said hello absentmindedly and got up to leave the restaurant.
"Girl, Xiao Sun was teaching you to swim yesterday?" Aunt Liu stopped her.
Shu Kui nodded: "Didn't you say that if you can't swim, let Xiao Sun teach, he swims very well?" ”
When Aunt Liu heard this, her face was complicated: "Yes, that's right, but it's okay to swim optically, don't get too close to him." ”
Shu Kui's face burned hotly again.
"He's a merman, you know, right?" After Aunt Liu asked, she didn't wait to hear a response, so she continued to herself, "The reputation of the mermaids is not very good, they are fierce and cold-blooded, and their biological fathers, sons, and brothers will fight you to the death." ”
"Is it because of a conflict of interest?" Shu Kui didn't think it was strange.
"Not exactly." Aunt Liu seemed to know some big secret, "In their family, the position of the head of the family is not designated by the previous parent, but by the duel between the children, whoever is the strongest can sit in this position, so the brothers kill each other, and sometimes they are anxious, and they will directly kill their father." ”
Shu Kui still disagrees in his heart - in human history, there are too many people who have killed their brothers and fathers for the sake of power.
Aunt Liu saw that she was silent, and said, "Moreover, female mermaids have no status at all, they are either only responsible for giving birth to children, or they are given as gifts to whoever the merman king wants to befriend." ”
"Really?" This was indeed unexpected by Shu Kui.
Aunt Liu nodded vigorously, indicating that what she said was true: "Also, those shark people, especially men, especially women who like human beings, do you want to know why?" ”
"Why?" Shu Kui really wanted to know.
"The children born to merman males and human females can live both on land and in water, and it is said that there are many such hybrids in their army." Aunt Liu whispered mysteriously, "Moreover, I have heard that they have a special ability to know a woman's menstrual period and make it easier for a woman to conceive." ”
"Isn't it possible to live in water by drinking the blood of mermaids? You don't have to have children. Shu Kui felt unbelievable and unbelievable.
Aunt Liu shook her head, with a look of "you don't know about this": "The blood of the mermaid can indeed make people live in the water, but it can only be used for a day or two at most, and besides this, there is no other use." Sharks and human hybrids are different, they have inherited the courage of the sharks, they have great strength, and they are very powerful warriors. ”
"If you're so powerful, why haven't you seen the mermaids or their half-breeds ruling the Kui Immortal Kingdom?" Shu Kui still didn't believe it.
"Because mixed-race people have a short lifespan." Aunt Liu seemed to know everything, "If you don't cultivate, the normal lifespan of mermaids is two or three hundred years old, and the mixed-race children are only one-tenth of them, even if they don't die in battle, those boys will reach the end of their lives when they reach the age of twenty or thirty." ”
"What about the girls?" Shu Kui thought, should he also be given around as a gift.
"There are no girls." What Aunt Liu said is a well-known thing, "Mixed-race children are only boys." ”
"The genes of the mermaids are too strong." Shu Kui felt even more incredible, "It's the same with mixed-race people of other races? ”
"Male mermaids do not intermarry with other races, and no one wants to marry their daughters to them." Aunt Liu pursed her lips, obviously thinking that it was not a good thing to marry a merman.
"But you just said that female mermaids will be given as gifts to others, and they don't have children? Or are they all sent to work? Shu Kui was a little puzzled.
"They are born, but they can only live with sharks." Aunt Liu sighed indistinctly, "Most of the children of them and other races are stillborn, and even if they are born, they will not live to be one year old. I have seen a female mermaid before, holding her dying daughter and begging the doctor for help, the little girl is about four or five months old, she is too beautiful, but unfortunately ......"
When Shu Kui heard this, he was also moved with pity: "Speaking of which, the mixed race of sharks and humans is not bad, at least, they can stay by their mother's side for seventeen or eighteen years in peace." ”
"Seventeen or eighteen years? Peace of mind? You're thinking too well, too. Aunt Liu smiled, "As soon as these little boys were born, they were taken to the beach with their mothers, and as soon as they could walk, there were sharks who came to take them to the sea for training every day, from morning to night, without a day of interruption." They grow up very quickly, about ten years old, like humans in their twenties, and can go into battle, and then they are really bitter - the mermen use them as meat shields, and often after a battle, it is these half-bloods without scales who die. ”
