XVIII. The Last Mermaid
seems to have fallen into the deep seabed, the dark seabed, nothing, the thin hands, the dry torso, like going back to more than 200 years ago, I was swept into the Strait of the Dead by a typhoon and couldn't extricate myself, the kind of breathless horror, the moment when death almost hit, mixed with such a low resentment:
Hate - you hate it, the day after tomorrow you are -
Nie Huan woke up from the nightmare, coughing and wheezing, this is not known how many times he has had this disgusting dream, in his opinion, all this has been taken for granted, he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, only believes in himself, for him, he always has such a dream, because his heart is not good, because he will have nightmares at night, and if his lungs are not good, he will become unable to breathe at night when he dreams at night, and now the nightmares are becoming more and more frequent, Nie Huan can guess that he is not far from death, he has never been afraid of death, but now, at the moment when Wu Yuan and he recognized him, He found that there were still too many things in the world that he could not let go of (Legend of the Other World, chapter 108). Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
All along, he bravely faced his illness, even though he was tortured like this, he had to live, even if there was still one breath left, he had to live, he was not greedy for life and afraid of death, because that kind of body was already worse than death for him, perhaps, death is liberation, but how can people be so succumbed to fate, he is Nie Huan, how can he be defeated by the disease like this, die in the house, to die, he also has to die in the blue sea, only here, is everything that belongs to him.
He will never be able to let go of this blue sea, perhaps, with Nie Huan's strength, it is not difficult to establish a foundation in the Central Plains, but he still remembers this sea, the place where he was born and raised.
Nie Huan sighed, childhood memories flooded into his heart, he didn't know, how he suddenly remembered the memories of such a young age, maybe, he was really old, or, maybe this was the memory before death......
Nie Huan's father is a famous sea wizard on the sea, he can divinate the wind and rain, predict the weather, fishermen who live by the sea rely on the sea to eat, for the mysterious sea, they can only rely on the divination of the sea witch, just nearly 500 years ago, the sea witch picked up Nie Huan on the seaside, at that time the swaddling Nie Huan followed the waves, wave by wave from the middle of the sea to the side of the sea witch, just like that, the sea witch adopted Nie Huan, engraved his name into the ancestral hall of the sea family, at that moment, Nie Huan survived as a descendant of the sea family.
But the good times didn't last long, when he was seven or eight years old, his father died, but the sea witch warned Nie Huan on his deathbed that he couldn't understand it:
Nie Huan, don't take off the fin on your leg, that's your seal, don't take it off, otherwise, your curse will come back, and it will torture you to death......
Nie Huan has never believed in ghosts and gods, because he has never seen them, and he doesn't believe in his father's words, his fate is in his own hands, his body is given by his parents, what to remove the seal of the fin, curses will appear, nonsense. Could it be that since he came back from the typhoon, his body has plummeted, and he has to blame and curse, and he has to blame himself for taking off the fin seal? Joke! A dignified manly man, how can he believe the nonsense that only the old and weak women and children worship, Nie Huan doesn't believe it, let alone accept his fate!
Outside the door, the sound of rolling wheels disrupted Nie Huan's thoughts, and Nie Huan realized that at this time, he had to bathe and change clothes.
The most embarrassing thing about lying on the bed as a waste person is washing and changing clothes, this is an easy thing for others, it is like ascending to the sky for yourself, Nie Huan's lower body that can't move at all is simply not able to walk into the bathtub to take a bath, over the years, all this has been done by the old man who delivered the meal, even if Nie Huan was galloping across the sea back then, in the end, he could only let a half hundred old people hug each other at will.
"Phew, how could Lao Tzu die like this! Fucking gotta get better, live on, it's a fucking shame! Nie Huan lowered his hand to his stone-like legs, and as usual, there was still no response.
The old man who delivered the rice took the bucket in and poured it into the big wooden bucket one by one, but what was different from usual was that the old man who was skilled in the work was so difficult today.
"Sick?" This was Nie Huan's first thought, but at this time he found out that the person who came was not the original old man who delivered food, in contrast, this old man was older than the old man who delivered food, the original was more than half a hundred years old, but this one was over the age of six, gray hair, snow-white beard, and even walking was a little unstable, he was a little hunchbacked, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but he always felt that he had seen it somewhere, but just from the posture of walking, this old man was very temperamental, and he couldn't compare with the old man who delivered food before, it can be strange, Although he had some difficulty in doing things, but a bucket full of water did not spill at all, with Nie Huan's keenness, Nie Huan was sure that this person was by no means an ordinary person, but what kind of person was he, Nie Huan, who had always read countless people, was not sure, and his intuition told Nie Huan that this old man was ten million times more powerful than him, and it was not something that Nie Huan could see clearly at all.
"How...... It's you today, he's not here, and he can't wash it. Nie Huan asked tentatively.
"He's sick, and there are many people who are sick and sick, and the old man used to be doing things outside, so he can only come over to help today...... "The old man said naturally, and he didn't feel the meaning of making it up at all.
"Ahem...... You don't look like an ordinary person, how can you be willing to be a miscellaneous servant in the Plague Spirit Villa. Nie Huan got straight to the point and asked, he is not a person who likes to beat around the bush.
"Not an ordinary person? Who can that old man be? The old man smiled and asked.
"I know, I don't need to ask you." Nie Huan smiled and said.
"Where is the old decay a character? It's just that when he was young, he had a false name, but he also made a career, but unfortunately now he is old and old, and everything is not as good as that of young people, so he simply came back, I wanted to support the elderly, but unfortunately I didn't save much money before, and my granddaughter at home is still waiting for old age, but unfortunately I have no strength to fish, and I can't do other things, so I can only make a living as a handyman. The old man said slowly, looking so real.
"What did you do before?" Unexpectedly, the old man's words aroused Nie Huan's interest.
"What do you want him to do with all the old things? Don't mention it, don't mention it! The old man waved his hand, and by this time, the water in the bathtub was ready. The old man waved one hand, waiting strangely for Nie Huan's next move.
"You?" Nie Huan was a little surprised, but thinking about it, maybe the old man couldn't hold him, so he just stood like this, "You can't hold me all the time, don't wash it, anyway, it turns out that I'm at sea, and I don't wash it for half a year, and I can rub a few loads of old mud, hahaha...... Ahem......"
"If you don't wash it, how can you not wash it? You don't like to be clean! The old man glared at him, and began to rely on the old man a little, as if the person in front of him was not Nie Huan at all, but a willful junior, "The old man told you to take off your clothes quickly!" The old decay is so good to carry you in, you really can't hold you when I do? ”
"Take off? It turned out that I didn't take it off until I was in the water. Nie Huan said.
"What can I do in the water? The clothes are wet, you and I are both men, it's enough to be your father, what are you ashamed of, be good, take it off now! It's all off! The old man looked at Nie Huan, with a loving expression on his face, Nie Huan was strange, obviously this old man was not very old, but even he felt that the old man's age was more than enough for his father, the old man's deep pupils stared at Nie Huan, looking at the old man's eyes, strangely, although he was so reluctant at this time, Nie Huan couldn't resist anything he said to him. Nie Huan beat a spirit, feeling that he had really become a willful junior. It wasn't until Nie Huan almost stripped off his clothes that he came back to his senses, this overlord of the sea, for the first time, he had a very embarrassed feeling, he glanced at the old man, he still looked majestic and loving, Nie Huan couldn't help but think: "Damn, Nie Huan, Nie Huan, you are really ashamed, what are you ashamed of, take off your clothes and be afraid of a fart!" After thinking about it, Nie Huan finally took off his last clothes, threw them on the ground, raised his head and said loudly, "Okay! ”
Suddenly, the old man muttered something in his mouth, only to see his eyes staring directly at Nie Huan as if he had been evil, and a strange light emitted from his body, this feeling was actually so familiar, as if he had seen it thousands of years ago, tens of thousands of years ago, but it was so vivid, Nie Huan couldn't remember, the more he couldn't remember, the more he seemed to think of something in his heart, and his headache almost exploded, Nie Huan couldn't help but scream in pain, it seemed that with the miserable cries of more people, in Nie Huan's screams, He vaguely heard the old man say:
"It's not a disease, the old man finally saw clearly, under the appearance of human skin, your feet have become petrified fish tails, your lungs have long since become fish gills, and you have long been unable to breathe on land...... You seem to remember something, this is your root, you have to face it, then, let Lone remind you of everything in the past. ”
"What's going on inside?" The noisy sound in the house made Wu Yuan and Li Qi outside the door knock on the door hard, it turned out that the old man in the house was Haohan, in order to see the root cause of the disease, let Nie Huan obediently take off his clothes, and Haohan became old and dressed as an old man.
"Wait......" Hao Han shouted, because at this time Nie Huan was still naked, but now under the madness, Nie Huan didn't care about covering up his shame at all. After finishing speaking, Haohan stepped forward and draped the quilt and clothes on Nie Huan's body, and at this time, Wu Yuan, who was impatient, didn't care about anything that had already broken in, and Li Qi saw that there was no abnormality in the house and followed in.
"You ......" Nie Huan on the bed suddenly grabbed the vastness, and what was about to erupt from his black pupils was the madness of hatred.
"After so many years, I finally know what that means, it's not the day after tomorrow that you are at all, I heard it wrong in a daze, the day after tomorrow you are, it's the Houtu Li family, you are the Houtu Li family, you still have Li Qi! Your family! Your blood-stained family! It is the root of the hatred of the clan! Nie Huan roared angrily.
Seeing Nie Huan's true appearance, Haohan had actually guessed that maybe Nie Huan had some connection with the clan, and now that Nie Huan said it, Haohan was finally relieved, and the roots of the undead clan of the Houtu Li family finally surfaced. However, when he saw Nie Huan's face that was tormented by memory and hated madness, and looked at him when he saw Li Qi's almost eaten appearance, his heart moved, and he said: "Yes, the Houtu Li family is sorry for your people, but Li Qi is innocent, she is the daughter of the Emperor of Day and Night, and has nothing to do with the Houtu Li family, Lone is already very old, when he slaughtered your people, Lone was already born, if you want to hate, hate me alone, let me bear all the sins!" ”
"What nonsense! Emperor You've been tortured enough by this curse, why does hatred have to happen to you, why do you implicate Nie Huan! Haohan's words made Li Qi's heart sour, Haohan was protecting her, if Ye Ye was still alive, he would also protect himself like this, but how could Haohan say such a thing, Li Qi really didn't want to lose even this person who protected him, so she hurriedly rushed forward, unscrewed Nie Huan's hand, and roared.
The vast righteousness and Li Qi's roar made Nie Huan finally pull out of the hatred that was deep in the mud, hatred is like a swamp, once he is deep, he can't pull it out, but he is Nie Huan, he is not a clan, he has his own life, he is the overlord of the sea, how can he lose himself in hatred, in the end, Nie Huan settled down and took his only remaining physical strength and incomparably strong willpower to withstand it. However, this seemingly nothing-than-nothing action consumed Nie Huan and barely breathed, seeing that Nie Huan's face was purple and black, Wu Yuan knew that something was wrong, so he snatched it and grabbed Nie Huan's hand, and secretly lost his vitality to Nie Huan.
