Chapter 63: The Story of the Writer (Part II)
Hearing the man speak, Su Qing and Chen Le were both shocked, no one expected that the man's attitude would change so quickly, it was a 360-degree reversal.
As he spoke, the man stood up and walked slowly to the small window on the far right of the rental house, staring out the window. Taking advantage of the man's distraction, Su Qing also got up and looked out of the window, and it was easy to see a touch of azure hidden under the layers of buildings.
Su Qing knew that it was the direction of the sea, and that blue should be the sea.
City A is a seaside city, but the man grew up by the sea, and he likes the blue as the pure sky, likes to play with the creatures in the sea, and likes everything in the sea.
Unfortunately, after the city changed, high-rise buildings were built, and many nearby fishermen around the coast moved away, and the land was taken out for real estate and tourism, and he moved to the house he had signed with his parents.
Everything in the house is convenient and fast, but the man always feels that something is missing, the copper wall is like a cage, hindering his communication with the sea, so the man often takes advantage of the rest time to run to the beach, but his house is an hour or two away from the sea, and in the long run, the man's love for the sea is more and more out of control, but he also understands that this is not a way.
So the man studied hard, and in order to be with the idea of being with the sea every day, he was admitted to university, and chose marine biology research. The man prefers the wonderful underwater world to the creatures on land, and there is always a legend about mermaids in his mind.
Anyone who lives by the sea seems to have heard the legend of a creature with a human fishtail, fierce and cruel, ugly in appearance, whose tail can stir up waves ten meters high, and whose song is an evil sound that drives people to hell, in short, an ominous sign.
The man didn't believe these rumors, he just thought it was a story made up by the older generation to warn the children not to go into the sea indiscriminately, and as for the mermaid, the man believed that if there was, the mermaid was definitely not such a creature.
After the man successfully graduated, successfully entered the research institute he wanted to enter, ran all over the world all day long, went to some developed, undeveloped oceans, looking at the endless blue, the man felt that he had returned home and found a place to belong.
This kind of thing continued until a few years later, when the man was no longer a fledgling young man, but already had his own team. Because of the sudden storm at sea, their ship was blown to an isolated island, and the others were nowhere to be found, but he was still alive, living alone on that isolated island.
Surviving on a desert island is a necessary common sense of life for men, which is not very difficult for men, but this endless loneliness makes men almost crazy! Anyway, Robinson had a dog with him to talk to, but he didn't have anything.
Until one night, the man slept in a makeshift 'tent' that he had set up, and woke up in the middle of the night to hear bursts of singing, as if someone was singing.
The man who had this thought in his mind ran out of his 'tent' excitedly and ran in the direction of the song, but the man came to the beach of the isolated island, and a figure sat on the reef under the moonlight, chanting and singing.
The man admits that he has never seen such a creature again. Like mermaids in fairy tales, they have long blue hair and just the right long tail, and their singing is like music from heaven, which can wash people's souls. Although it was in the moonlight, just by the reflection of the man projected on the sea, he knew that she was definitely not ugly.
Person...... Merfolk, he really saw a mermaid!
As if sensing the presence of the man, the mermaid turned her head suddenly, and a pair of azure eyes suddenly broke into the man's sight, which was exactly the same color as the sea.
Later, the man found out that she was not a mermaid, but also a mermaid, and they had a better name called the mermaid. And she has fish fin-like things on her elbows, and her ears are not human ears, they are pointed, but they are a bit like the elves in Western mythology.
The wounds of the merman were bandaged with medicine left over from the ship, and the medicine was injected.
When talking about the medicine, the man paused obviously, and his hand actually clenched the windowsill hard, as if he was trying to hide something.
After a while, the man continued, but Su Qing could detect what had been omitted from the man's words.
After that, the man came up with the idea of taking the merman home, and then he really took the merman home, and in order not to worry his family, he rented a small house in a sparsely populated area near the beach, just like the merman was placed there.
It's just that the man didn't expect the merman's existence to be bumped into by the landlord, mixed with anxiety and fear, the landlord actually called the police, and when the man arrived at the small house, she was already chained and pushed into the car. The man saw her struggle, helplessness, horror, and hatred for herself.
At that time, the man tried his best to rescue her, but he ran into walls everywhere, a merman, the discovery of a new species, who would give up the study of them?
Until one day a week later, the man who gave up on himself was hiding in that small room and drinking, and a critical blow was suddenly knocked away, and in a daze, the man raised his head and saw a shadow of a human body and a fishtail.
It's her back!
The man was overjoyed and stepped forward to hold her in his arms, but when he was about to touch her, he stiffened and looked at her in disbelief.
The once smooth skin was now covered with pus, the dark liquid inside, the beautiful fishtail still had its former brilliance, and even the most charming and mysterious eyes were now eclipsed.
Noticing the man's movements, she squinted her eyes and tried to step back a little, but she was vigorously held in the man's arms, gentle as if she were treating the most precious thing, as if she was afraid that one would accidentally break it. Feeling the man's embrace, a tear flowed out of her eyes, fell to the ground and made a jingling sound, and finally turned into soft pearls.
He strung the pearls with his own silk and tied them around the man's wrists.
After that, there was no after.
She died, died in the arms of the man, and as a gift before she died, she gave the man a string of tears, and those tears are now worn on Chen Le's neck.
Listening to the whole story, although it sounded a little incredible, Su Qing and Chen Le obviously accepted it quickly, after all, Su Qing had seen more bizarre things than here, and if there were ghosts, were you afraid that there would be no mermaids?
As for Chen Le, she has to believe it, because her current physical condition may be developing in the direction of a merman.
It's just that there is a problem here, but Su Qing is very concerned about it.
"Uncle, you're not right? You said that the pearl necklace belonged to the merman, why did you take it out and sell it? ”
It can be seen that this uncle has a love for the mermaid, if there is no hidden feeling, how can he be willing to take out the last thing she left behind and sell it? Could it be ......
