Chapter 3: Anger
Yang Mumu knelt in front of the man and kept begging him, "I didn't do it, I didn't!" Please believe me, I didn't ......"
The man pinched her chin fiercely, "Yang Mumu, listen well...... I'll never love you, aren't you going to get married, then we'll get married, I'm going to torture you for the rest of your life! ”
The mermaid sighed, did she fall in love with a man who hated her so much? No wonder all the cuties under the sea say that men on land are terrible.
"I don't want anything, I'll divorce him, I'll go far away and you'll never see me again!" Yang Mumu begged a woman.
The woman shook off her hand and shook her head with a smile, "How can I let you take his child away?" I can't allow a woman in this world other than me to have a baby for her! I'm going to watch your child die in this sea, and the sea will sweep him away......"
The mermaid was shocked, she slowly opened her eyes, her brown pupils had turned blood-red, and the little turtle in her hair quickly crawled out and swam away to hide under a huge reef.
In the afternoon, the calm waters began to swell, and dark clouds began to gather in the originally clear sky. The people on the beach saw this sudden change in the wind and clouds, and quickly packed up their things and left. The waves rose higher than the other, and the dark clouds seemed to merge with the sea level. Fishing boats are urgently docked to take shelter from the storm. The lively beach soon fell silent, leaving only the angry roar of the sea.
"How dare you kill an unborn child in my seawater! How dare you! Stupid woman, you will pay the price of life for angering the sea god! The mermaid grew in size, and in a moment it was the size of an island sunk in the sea, and with each wave of her huge tail, a huge wave of white foam rushed to the beach. As soon as she stretched out her hand, a huge lightning bolt fell from the sky, thunder followed, and torrential rain poured down.
"It's the god of the sea who is angry...... "An old man looked out the window.
"Poseidon? Grandpa really has a sea god, right? ”
"Yaocan, your grandfather is so confused, how can any sea god just be a storm! I'll go out and tie the boat, and you watch your grandfather don't let him eat raw fish again. Xu Yaocan's father, Xu Chengshan, worked at sea all his life, was a sailor when he was young, and had his own boat after getting married. I relied on this boat to feed my family.
Yao Chan had a vague figure in his memory, he had forgotten what she looked like, but he knew that he still firmly believed that he had seen the sea god when he was a child. He always wore white scales around his neck, which were tokens given to him by the god of the sea.
"In this sea there is the princess of the sea god, who guards the sea and our souls." Xu Yaocan also looked in the direction of his grandfather.
The day is as dark as the night, and lightning flickering on the beach. A figure emerged from the sea and disappeared with the light of lightning.
"Does the princess of the sea god eat human souls?" Yao Can looked out the window and asked, he liked to listen to his grandfather say this, although he would be called nonsense by his parents every time.
"The sea god's song is like a heavenly sound, and when she sings, the fish in the sea forget to swing their fins, and they are all stupid!" Xu Yaocan turned his head to look at his grandfather, his eyes were cloudy, but he could still see that they were brown, "The sea god does not eat the souls of the living, and those who die in the sea will never leave the sea and go to the netherworld." The sea god eats the soul, so people don't have to wander in the deep sea. ”
Yao Chan saw a little bit of sky light in the distance, "Have you seen the sea god?" ”
"I've seen it...... I've seen ......."
"What does Poseidon look like?"
Grandpa turned his head, "It's the same as you see." As he spoke, he reached out to grab the raw fish under the table.
Yao Chan immediately stood up, "No! You can't eat raw fish. ”
"Poseidon eats raw fish......" Grandpa muttered.
"The sea god eats it, but the sick old man can't eat it." Yao Chan moved aside the box of raw fish that he was going to take away.
Xu Chengshan came back, "Why is there no warning for such a big storm......" very strange self-talk, the early warning has been very accurate over the years, and there has hardly been a missed report. While wiping his hair, he said, "A lot of people went to sea in the morning, and if your grandfather hadn't said he was unwell early in the morning, I would have caught up." ”
Xu Yaocan turned back to look at his grandfather, who was buttoning his clothes. Because Yao Chan told him that he had to keep in touch to get better, but it was clear that none of the buttons in that row were right.
The clouds dispersed. People are coming out one after another, people living by the sea are used to seeing such scenes, when the storm comes, they hide and drink and chat, and when the storm stops, they will continue to go to sea, and their ancestors have come like this for generations. The sea is their source of life and faith, and they take it from the sea and revere it.
"Into a mountain! We're back! "There was a knock on the door.
Xu Chengshan hurriedly went to open the door, and was the neighbor next door who went to sea early in the morning.
"Are you all right? What about the wind and waves at sea? Xu Chengshan let people in.
"There is almost no wind and waves at sea."
"No?" Xu Yaocan and Xu Chengshan were taken aback.
"Yes, we received a call from you saying that there was a storm, so we turned around and rushed back, only to go back to the shore and see lightning and thunder on the shore." The neighbor's uncle said.
"No wonder there was no warning, there was no storm at all." Xu Chengshan frowned.
"Hahahaha!" There was a burst of laughter from inside the room.
Everyone was startled by the laughter, and Yao Chan immediately walked to his grandfather's side to comfort him.
The old man was laughing and crying, "Hahahahaha...... "kept laughing" and kept laughing, "She's here!" Someone gave her a soul! ”
"Your dad's illness hasn't gotten better." The neighbor sighed.
After sending off his neighbors, Xu Chengshan also packed his things and prepared to go to sea.
"Yaocan, you go out first to see if the ship is okay, I'll go to sea later."
Yao Chan nodded. The neighbors should have no intention of going to sea, and everyone has not received any warning from the official in advance, and everyone should wait for the exact news from the fishery administration department before leaving for the sea. However, in order to treat his grandfather, who has been bedridden for a long time, Xu Yaocan's father will definitely go to sea as long as the weather is passable, unless it is a typhoon.
Xu Yaocan has just graduated from college and is an intern doctor in a hospital, not to mention the salary to subsidize the family, he does not have enough food, clothing, housing and transportation in the city. Today, he took turns to deliver medicine to his grandfather and came back, and was about to leave to catch up with this storm.
After the heavy rain, the wind on the beach was a little cool, Xu Yaocan trotted all the way, his own boat was already very old, and his father had not been willing to say that the ship had a soul after a long time, it would avoid danger by itself, and the old ship was safer.
"So shabby...... How can there be a soul? Then why doesn't it speak......" Xu Yaocan walked to his boat.
"What if I can hide? You old ship speaks so meanly, be careful of me ......" "What do you mean you shouldn't go ashore?" Don't think that your old god won't dare to bully you! ”
