Chapter 042: Good things don't come, bad things always come one after another, bastard!
On the coast, I carried my parcel and waited for the boat to slowly approach. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ah Shui squatted on the edge of the dock and complained, constantly saying that he didn't agree to count him at all. Moreover, he was seasick and could not sit on the boat for a long time.
I rolled my eyes and said that if you don't want to go, no one will force you.
Ah Shui spat on the ground, and didn't dare to go back, I guess he must have been afraid of the monster that ate the silver.
I've been thinking to myself, how did that monster come to Taiping County? Is it artificial? Or someone else for what's the reason?
Taiping County is not rich enough to raise such monsters.
Nie Bing crossed his hands and stood on the dock without saying a word. Xue Ning stood beside her, and the two stood side by side looking at the sea.
I said to myself, can you be more romantic?
The silhouettes of the two look good in the sunset, tall and short, fat and thin are also very suitable, after a period of understanding, the two have affection for each other, this kind of thing is not easy to say, can only be understood.
On the undulating coastline, a three-story sailboat appeared on the rippling sea, gradually approaching the pier.
After our investigation, the islands of Jiaozhu Island in the East China Sea are rich in mermaid spirit beads.
Legend has it that the island is the territory of the mermaid country, and at this time of year, the mermaids in the sea will come to Jiaozhu Island to lay eggs, some of the eggs are infiltrated by the sea water and hatched into mermaids, and some of the eggs are easily weathered into pebbles by the sea breeze.
The eggs that were weathered into pebbles by the sea breeze were fate, and the mermaid mother saw that her eggs could not hatch into a little mermaid, so she cried sadly at the pebbles, and the mermaid's tears dripped onto the pebbles, and the chemical effect became mermaid spirit beads.
If human beings get mermaid spirit beads, they can wear them on their bodies to ward off disasters and evil spirits, and they can prolong their lives if they eat them, and they can even live forever.
But these are legends.
I listened to those old people blowing the mermaid spirit beads like the peaches in the peach orchard, and I was skeptical.
It's not strange to me that there are such things as mermaids in this world, there are monsters that eat silver, and what can't be in this world.
According to the old people, the mermaid spirit bead is a miracle precious item, to meet two prerequisites, first, it must be the mermaid's tears weathered by the sea breeze, and second, the mermaid must have the tears left by feelings. Only tears with feelings can be transformed into fish spirit beads, otherwise, they will only be tears, dripping into the sea.
This kind of thing is not like the cordyceps on the plateau, which is produced every year. Those who get the mermaid spirit beads are lucky people, and luck is not so good for everyone.
Therefore, I have a doubt, could it be that the mermaid spirit bead is actually just a legend, and so many people go to Jiaozhu Island for other purposes?
What else is hidden on Jiaozhu Island?
The big dragon boat was close to the pier, and a few of us packed our bags and prepared to board the boat.
The people who boarded the boat around us also gathered around one after another, and it seemed that they were all people who had gone to Jiaozhu Island to find mermaid spirit beads.
We dress rustically and are designed to cater to the fishermen who work at sea. Anyway, in this era, I don't pay attention to any suits and shirts, and formal occasions are just casual.
The boatman is a man in his thirties, standing at the gate of the dragon boat, with words in his mouth, "one tael across the sea, five taels for the cruise ship, ten taels for landing on the island, and fifty taels for round trip." ”
The rest of the people consciously took out fifty taels and handed them to the boatman, showing full magnanimity.
Our money was almost eaten up by monsters, and there was no money at all when we went to sea this time, and we had to take out as much as two hundred taels, and when I heard that we had to give so much money, the first thing to oppose was Ah Shui.
"It's so expensive, you might as well grab it!" Ah Shui said to the boatman, he touched his pocket, and the four purses were as heavy.
Nie Bing and Xue Ning didn't expect it to be so expensive to go to Jiaozhu Island, and they all looked at me to make up their minds.
I said in my heart that your rich second generation doesn't have so much money, where do I have money, I have always been a poor egg.
Seeing that we couldn't come up with the money, the boatman glanced blankly, "I can't afford to swim to Jiaozhu Island by myself, I have seen a lot of you people, and I want to make a fortune, but I don't want to pay, how can there be such a cheap thing." ”
He pulled off the boarding plywood, spat into the sea, and prepared to sail.
I thought that I couldn't go out of school, and I thought to myself whether to discuss with the shipowner and pay the account on credit first. Maybe we picked up the mermaid spirit bead on Jiaozhu Island, which is priceless.
The boatman chuckled, "What do I want that thing for?" Only you mere mortals would think that kind of thing works. ”
Useless?
I frowned, what do you mean? Mermaid spirit beads are useless? Just as he was about to ask the boatman, he turned and walked in, pulled the anchor and set sail.
The four of us stood on the shore and watched the dragon boat drift away.
I pondered the word "useless" in my heart, and asked Nie Bing if he had heard of the legend that the mermaid spirit bead was useless before.
Nie Bing shook his head and said that he had never even heard of the mermaid spirit bead before.
I asked Xue Ning again, and she nodded, knowing a little about the mermaid spirit bead, but she needed to find it from memory.
Then I looked at the horizon in the distance.
Ah Shui asked me, "Sister, why don't you ask me."
Why are you just like me, you are a white man in this fantasy world, and you are not wasting my time?
"Hey, I've met you again, hello everyone."
A voice sounded behind us, and when we turned around, it was the son who helped me fight off the monster yesterday, dressed in blue, looking a little rich, followed by seven or eight people.
"Why are you here?" Ah Shui asked him.
"I didn't ask you, but you asked about me. You're here, why can't I be here? The boy in blue asked Ah Shui rhetorically, and he didn't know how to answer.
When I saw him here, he was supposed to be going to sea, so I asked him if he was going to sea. He nodded, saying yes.
I then asked him if he could give us a ride, and he said no.
I asked why?
"Judging by your dress, you should have gone to Jiaozhu Island to pick mermaid spirit beads, right? I have some friendship with the mermaid country, and they are very disgusted with you pearl divers. Since I am a friend of the mermaid country, and you are not my friend, why should I take you to Jiaozhu Island? ”
He refused with a smile on his face, and there was some arrogance and resistance in his words.
I thought to myself, you will look down on us, although I am interested in the mermaid spirit bead, but it is not difficult for strong people, if you are unwilling, I will not force you.
"If you don't want to help, we won't force you to take us, we'll figure it out ourselves."
The man paused, "Let's go, I'll take you." ”
We were dumbfounded when he said that, the turn was so fast that we didn't have time to hit the brakes.
"What do you mean?"
"I said I'll take you to Jiaozhu Island."
I snorted, "We don't want to take your boat now." ”
Ah Shui hurriedly pressed my mouth, "Willing to be willing, how can you not be willing." Thank you, brother, I don't know what to call brother? Don't listen to her, she's been having a fever lately and talking nonsense. ”
I was wondering how quickly this man's attitude had changed, when Ah Shui asked the man, "May I ask where is your ship?" ”
"I never needed those tools."
As soon as the man finished speaking, his face turned blue, and layers of scales appeared on his face, and we were stunned.
Nie Bin shouted, it turns out that you are a mermaid.
Before we could dodge, a huge black scale surrounded the four of us. A strong fishy smell spread through my nose, and before I could struggle, I fainted.
The mermaid turned out to be like this, and film and television dramas killed people.
