Chapter 44: The Mermaid Father
Yaocan, who was standing by the sea, had a bright light flashing in front of his eyes, and he subconsciously covered his grandfather's eyes. That's when he realized that the wheelchair was empty. Yao Can's heart sank, but he didn't panic, after Gong Ni appeared, Yao Can had a different understanding of this world. And Gong Ni said that he would rest assured, and Yao Can believed that Gong Ni would definitely be able to do it.
Xu Chengshan felt that someone had patted him on the shoulder, and he suddenly came to his senses. What the hell just happened? Storms, whirlpools, boats, all those things seem to rush into the brain and suddenly disappear from consciousness. Is it Lao Zhang? Xu Chengshan looked back, and it was his father Xu Fuxi standing behind him.
"It looks like I'm dead......" Xu Chengshan muttered as he looked at his father.
The old man slapped Xu Chengshan on the head, "Die, what death!" Stinky boy! ”
Although Xu Chengshan clearly realized that he was not dead, the appearance of his father made him even more confused about the situation, "Dad, the storm has stopped?" Xu Chengshan heard that there was silence around him.
"It's not stopping, there's a cover covering you." Xu Fuxi pointed outside.
"Dad, how did you get in now that you have a hood?" Xu Chengshan's head was full of doubts, and he didn't know which one to ask first, "What about your wheelchair?" How do you ...... Wheelchair rocking? ”
The old man stretched out his finger and pointed to a messy pile of things in the corner, and a chair slid to the old man's side, and the old man sat down and looked at Xu Chengshan, "Child, calm down and ask questions again." Xu Fuxi stared at Xu Chengshan and said, "Just take advantage of this opportunity, there is something I need to tell you." As the old man spoke, the skin of his whole body peeled off little by little, Xu Chengshan just watched, his father's legs turned into a big silver fishtail in front of his eyes, the wrinkles on his face gradually disappeared, his hair slowly turned black, the color of the connecting holes turned dark blue, his eyes were slender, and the carved outline of the nose bridge was high, just like those male stars on TV.
"I should be dead...... Xu Chengshan couldn't stand still and wanted to help him, but a chair slid over from the corner of the wall again, and Xu Chengshan just sat on it.
"I'm a mermaid in the East China Sea...... Xu Fuxi raised his eyes to look at Xu Chengshan and said slowly, "You know the mermaid, right?" That's what I am, with a tail. As he spoke, he moved the big fishtail and slapped it twice on the ground, "My name is Chaoxi." ”
Xu Chengshan nodded mechanically, he stared at the big fishtail on the ground, and his mind was full of the sound of the fishtail slapping the plank.
"More than 20 years ago, I met your father, Xu Fuxi. It was also like this that day, with heavy rain and strong winds, and his boat was this boat...... "The mermaid turned his head to look at the rudder" This boat capsized, and your father Xu Fuxi died in this sea, this is here. The merfolk pointed out.
Xu Chengshan also looked outside, his head turned away, and his spirit and consciousness were still stunned and motionless.
"You know that the human soul is a very precious and delicious thing for a mermaid, and a person's soul can attract mermaids hundreds of miles away. It's not because it has any nutrients, it's just because you can go ashore after eating a human soul mermaid. In the sea, only the mermaid princess of the Dragon Palace cannot go ashore at will, and the other mermaids can go ashore as long as they get a soul. I eat his soul, and I want to help him fulfill his wish, and Xu Fuxi's lifelong wish is to take good care of you and your mother. So I went ashore as him to take care of you and your mother. I originally wanted to leave you some pearls enough for you to live, and even if I helped him realize his long-cherished fate, I didn't expect that I would never want to go back to the sea again. Chaoxi said slowly.
Xu Chengshan listened, and heard every word, but he couldn't understand it at all.
"Your mother ......" Chaoxi paused for a few years, "A few years later she told me that she knew that I was not Xu Chengshan, and she asked me who I was. I told her that I was a mermaid, she was not surprised but different from your current dementia, she just said that she hoped I could stay with her and you for a long time, and I didn't tell her at that time that mermaids can't live on the shore for a long time. But I stayed until one day I suddenly realized that I had aged so rapidly overnight that I couldn't even go back to my original mermaid form. I realized that going ashore would make the mermaid lose its immortality, consume life quickly, and then die. Your mother took me out to sea in a boat, and she said she was going to take me back to the sea, but I knew that even if I went back to the sea, I wouldn't survive. ”
Xu Chengshan listened to it, and he even became more and more convinced that he was dead.
"Whether you believe me or not, I was unconscious, and when I felt the temperature of the sea and barely opened my eyes, your mother ...... She even jumped into the sea with me, and she probably thought I was dead before she jumped into the sea with me. I can't save her, and I don't want her soul to sink to the bottom of the sea, I ate her soul ......" Chao Xi said this, sighing lightly, "God is so ruthless, I ate my lover's soul, and I survived...... Not only survived, but also stayed on the shore for a long time, and did not grow old and die...... Are you sarcastic, you say? There is no point in staying on the shore but not being nostalgic, and there is no point in not wanting to go back to the shore...... God is God, and His rules are cruel and decisive......"
"So my mom didn't die of a heart attack?" Xu Chengshan only came back to his senses a little at this time.
"I ate her soul and want to help her take care of you and myself." Chao Xi stretched out his hand and touched Xu Chengshan's head, this picture made Xu Chengshan feel very weird, the two people printed on the glass were a fisherman in his forties and about to be fifty years old, with dark skin and dark skin all day at sea, and the other was a young master in his twenties who was white and black, and the young master touched the fisherman's head with a kind face.
“…… Are you here to save me? "Xu Chengshan's dad can't be called at all.
Chao Xi looked at the sky through the glass and shook his head, "I originally came to save you, but someone more powerful has come." Let's go, go home. ”
As soon as Chaoxi's voice fell, Xu Chengshan had already started slowly before he could react, but Xu Chengshan didn't hear the sound of the engine at all.
"The ship is out of fuel,......" Xu Chengshan saw the dashboard.
"It's okay, it wasn't moving on oil from the beginning, did you hear it?" Chaoxi asked Xu Chengshan, "I said that this ship has a soul, but you and Xiaocan don't believe it, thinking I'm crazy." Did you hear that today? ”
"It says go home."
"It's going to take you home anyway." Chaoxi saw a bright spot outside the window, and he immediately popped a bubble to cover Xu Chengshan and Lao Zhang, Xu Chengshan could only see colorful light, and he couldn't hear or see anything.
