Chapter 62: The Mermaid Doesn't Cry 12
The sound of the birds faded away, and in the slightly rippling water, the merfolk did not scream or cry, but stopped what they were doing, and looked at the head so calmly.
There is no sadness or joy on the same face.
The newly-born white fish lost the gentle touch of the mermaid, and became restless, they were still just newborn centaurs, and they did not have enough patience and body to wait, and the transformation consumed what little reason they had left, as if they smelled food, and they began to slap the river with their tails vigorously, and split the big mouth full of sharp teeth.
Loud cries burst out of their chests.
The sound of a baby's cry was so harsh that even Tsing Yi, who was a little far away, felt a little unbearable, and she had to reflexively raise her hand to cover her ears.
Hei Saburo grabbed Tsing Yi's wrist hard, and he seemed to be stimulated by the cry of these white fish, and the small hidden fish scales on his cheek soon began to loom again.
"Closer to me." Hei Saburo gritted his teeth and said to Tsing Yi, "This is not the land of Kyushu, my strength is somewhat limited......
Tsing Yi was still there covering her ears tightly, and at the moment she couldn't hear anything except the hysterical cry of Bai Yu.
Hei Saburo saw that Tsing Yi couldn't hear what he said at all, so he had to tense his face and take matters into his own hands, and pulled Tsing Yi to his side with all his might.
Tsing Yi, who was struggling to endure the piercing scream, first hit Kurosaburo's body hard, and in an instant, she felt something heavy hit her chest. Before the dull pain in her chest spread, she felt a flower in front of her eyes again, and her body quickly fell backwards, as if she had been violently pushed out by someone.
I only heard a commotion, and Tsing Yi was pushed out of Hei Saburo's protective circle, without Hei Saburo's technique, but in the blink of an eye, Tsing Yi, who didn't have time to think about anything, sank into the water.
In the bubble-filled turquoise water, a red fishtail swayed rapidly, and the translucent wide tail fin made the otherwise gentle water turbulent and rapid.
The shrill screeching of the white fish suddenly disappeared, replaced by the sound of the fish's tails slapping against the river.
Tsing Yi, who was sinking, suddenly widened her eyes in surprise, and it was the first time she had seen a red fishtail. I saw that the tail of the long red fish, which was a little too small, flicked its tail fin slightly, and then it turned sharply and quickly swam in its direction.
Immediately after, without waiting for Tsing Yi to react, an arm fell from the sky and grabbed the back of her neck, quickly bringing her out of the water.
Feeling the smooth silk cloth clinging to his cheeks and forehead, as well as the warm body temperature emanating through his clothes, Tsing Yi waved his arms a few times with difficulty breathing, and said in a very uncomfortable muffled voice: "I'm almost out of breath!" ”
"Shut up—shut up—" For some reason, Kurosaburo suddenly asked in a vicious whisper like an ordinary boy who had done something wrong, "You didn't see anything, did you?" ”
"......" Tsing Yi hesitated at first when she heard this, and the red fish tail suddenly popped out of her mind.
Fishtail...... Fishtail...... Mortals who eat mermaid meat and turn into white fish have a fish tail that is not much different from that of a mermaid.
So, does white fish meat also have the effect of transforming the eater? You must know that Hei Saburo and Master Gao both ate white fish meat.
"Hey! Why don't you speak? Hei Saburo saw that Tsing Yi didn't answer for a long time, and immediately panicked.
On his cheeks, especially the shy flush caused by the negligence that hit Tsing Yi's chest, and the small golden-red fish scales, at first glance, his round face looked almost red and about to drip blood.
Annoyed, he pressed Tsing Yi's head hard into his chest, and at the same time looked around very helplessly, seeing that the group of white fish were scrambling to reach the small gate on the embankment with their sharp claws, and those merfolk stared directly at the severed mermaid's head, completely ignoring him and Tsing Yi, he felt better.
So he hugged Tsing Yi's head again, and continued to ask in a very ruthless, almost stubborn tone: "Speak, what did you see?" ”
"I didn't see anything!" Tsing Yi, who was covered by Hei Saburo and almost dying, waved her arms a few times in pain, her current vision was almost pitch black, in order to see the light of day again, she had already vaguely guessed the reason, she had to say duplicity, "In such a short time, the water is pitch black, how can you see things......"
After saying that, Tsing Yi bit the tip of his tongue, and thought with some chagrin, such a clumsy lie, I'm afraid that even the purest monster can't fool it, right?
Who knew that Hei Saburo really believed it, or rather, he just believed it for self-comfort.
Tsing Yi's originally suppressed head was suddenly free, she raised her head hesitantly, and saw Hei Saburo pretending to be calm and turned his face away, but he didn't forget to grab her right wrist and lift her up.
"Don't look around, don't move!" As if worried about Tsing Yi peeking at his underwater fish tail, Hei Saburo squeezed Tsing Yi's wrist and said fiercely, "If you are disobedient, I will knock you out and swallow it!" ”
Tsing Yi tried her best to tighten her face, she couldn't blame her for not cooperating, it was really Hei Saburo who didn't think about it, you must know that she was originally taller than Hei Saburo, and at this time she was lifted out of half of her body and floated on the water, and when she lowered her head or lowered her eyes, she couldn't see more clearly from the condescending level.
Who would have thought that Hei Saburo, who used to shock the monsters of the Quartet, had a large red fishtail with smooth and graceful lines at this time, and the round and small long fishtail swayed gently in the water a little helplessly, and the wide and translucent tail fin brushed Tsing Yi's calves from time to time, and then noticed that his newly grown fish tail accidentally touched Tsing Yi, and he retracted his tail violently like an electric shock.
At the same time, he didn't forget to glance at Tsing Yi quickly, for fear that Tsing Yi would find out about his small movements.
Fortunately, Tsing Yi has always been used to having a cold face, although she can't help laughing at this time, but because of Hei Saburo's past prestige, she didn't show her stuffing in the end.
And Hei Saburo saw that Tsing Yi didn't find out, so he was relieved. In order to divert Tsing Yi's attention, he hurriedly pointed to the place where the group of white fish was, and said hurriedly: "Look, that nun is here." ”
Tsing Yi's attention was really attracted, and she hurriedly turned her head to look, but she didn't see the familiar figure of the dead wood, only saw the group of newborn white fish surrounding the small door, looking hungry and thirsty.
Then, a headless mermaid carcass was thrown out from behind the small door, and as if they had permission to eat, the ugly and terrible-looking white fish swarmed up and began to tear the corpse and chew it vigorously.
Looking at the group of mermaids again, not only did they not stop the white fish from eating the mermaid's corpse, but they also took the initiative to throw the head in their hands to one of the white fish, and said with an encouraging face: "Eat, eat more, remember to eat cleanly, don't leave a little minced meat." ”
Tsing Yi was shocked.
However, the people who were shocked were afraid that it was not only Tsing Yi, but they only heard a familiar voice in the embankment sneering: "Hehehe, sure enough, no matter how many corpses I pile up in front of you, no matter how many companions are eaten up in front of you, you will always only show such a calm and terrifying face." Don't you know what sorrow is? Don't you feel sorry for your dead companions? ”
"Why feel sad?" The merfolk who were half-floating on the surface of the water showed puzzled expressions, "Mermaid meat is the elixir of immortality, as long as one mermaid dies, the other merfolk will eat her from head to toe, so that her flesh and blood and strength will always flow in the bodies of other mermaids, and she will never die." ”
"We feed on each other, through flesh and blood, we are tightly united, every mermaid is us, we are together forever."
"As long as there is a merfolk alive, we will never die!"
"In that case, it is good that you eat yourselves and live like this forever. But why are you—" Deadwood's voice gritted his teeth with great resentment, "why do you trick us mortals into eating your flesh, is it interesting to watch mortals turn into monsters?" Are you satisfied to see mortals become your puppet slaves? ”
"......" The merfolk looked at each other, and then the identical faces showed a natural expression, "Because the white fish is very lonely!" Whitefish, you need friends, come back, Whitefish, come back and play with us, Whitefish and Whitefish, always together! ”
"Friends? Hehehehe, this is the most vicious thing about you, covering up your cruelty and horror with innocence and innocence......" Deadwood's crazy laughter was mixed with an indescribable strange cry, across a dike, Tsing Yi couldn't see her current appearance, but through that strange crying and laughing, Tsing Yi seemed to see a dead wood with blood on his cheeks, laughing like crying.
Then she heard the dead wood suddenly calm down, and whispered in a vicissitudes of life: "No...... You're not right...... I'm not a whitefish...... You are not whitefish either...... The white fish will not speak like this, the white fish will only say, 'I give you my name, along with my undying life force, the luscious fish meat that has been delivered to you is just a gift as a gift of thanks for saving me and a memento of our encounter, as long as you eat it, you and your relatives can be cured of all diseases' Hehehe, liar, what a liar, pity my husband......"
Hearing this, Tsing Yi couldn't help but look back at Hei Saburo curiously. She never knew what it was like before Master Deadwood became a monk, and whenever the orchid mentioned her, she was only addressed as a nun.
"San Lang, do you know when Master Deadwood first came to the inn?" Tsing Yi asked quietly, "Or when did you first hear about her among your monsters?" ”
"You want to know her age?" Hei Saburo looked at Tsing Yi and said with a smile, "Don't guess, she has been like this since she came to the inn, even I don't know how old she is, in the past, I thought that the faint mortal breath on her body may be because she feeds on mortals, who knows that she is a mortal herself." ”
Tsing Yi didn't expect Hei Saburo to guess the identity of the dead wood like that before, but it was much more terrifying than he thought. So she pursed her mouth tightly, and secretly glanced at Hei Saburo's fish tail, feeling a little uneasy, but it was just a little white fish meat, Rao is a powerful monster like Hei Saburo, and they have all been transformed into little mermaids...... Or is he a fish spirit himself?
"What are you looking at?" Hei Saburo saw Tsing Yi's eyes fluttering, and glanced down at him from time to time, and couldn't help but stand up with fish scales, and his eyes widened very nervously and shouted fiercely, "Don't look around!" ”
Tsing Yi hurriedly turned her head to stop peeking, and in order to divert the topic, she casually asked the question she had been curious about, and said, "Speaking of which, how did you find me?" ”
“…… No matter where you are, if you want to, you can find it. Hei Saburo said with a disgusted face, "Besides, you're too useless, that old nun just wants to borrow you as bait, and you really spare no effort to send yourself to other people's mouths to play your role as a bait!" ”
