Chapter Twenty-Three: Twenty-Three Days of Picking Up a Mermaid (Revised)
Why? The mermaids also questioned their own hearts in their own hearts, why they didn't change, why they didn't dare to change, why they couldn't change.
The reason why this string of strings was finally replaced by a sigh from the merfolk, they had been asleep for too long.
All the sighs finally turned into one sentence: "Son, you are right." ”
Just like Hanka said, the merfolk are now facing not only the danger of extinction, but also their terrible thoughts of not wanting to make progress.
The current mermaid clan is too comfortable, and in this deep sea, mermaids cannot be said to be invincible, but they can also be said to be almost existence. At least for now, there are no creatures they can't deal with.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the merfolk seem to have become more comfortable, and it is clear that the knowledge passed down from generation to generation has been accumulated by the mermaid ancestors with their experience, but they are now enjoying the success and do not want to continue their efforts.
Even if it weren't for the influence of human garbage, sooner or later they would get lost in the ocean and eventually be wiped out, as Hanka said, if they are backward, they will be beaten.
Perhaps the mermaid of that day will be as sad as it was decades ago, facing the people they respect the most dying in front of them one after another, leaving only sorrow in vain.
Hanbo suddenly remembered that on that dark day, he had witnessed the light of their merfolk disappear into darkness, turning into frothy patches, and even the bodies they wanted to bury themselves disappeared.
What a sorrow!
Hanbo is not a saint, he has always felt that he is selfish, but who is not selfish?! He survived, but his wife died permanently in that war, and Hanjia did not see his mother, which was the thing he regretted the most in his life.
He sometimes hated why he wasn't in the tribe that day, why he had gone away with most of the people to look for the untraceable things, for the things they had not found.
It's been so many years since he couldn't find it, so why can't he give up?! The mermaid's grave, the tomb where the mermaid rests at the end, isn't it the sea?! He is also known as the smartest person in the mermaid clan, but he has not been able to figure out what the mermaid mound is.
Hanbo was silent, and so were the merfolk people.
Hanbo's younger brother, Hanfumi, seemed to want to say something, but as if he thought of something, he also fell silent.
For a while, the originally lively place became quiet, only the gentle flow of the sea water, driving the mermaid's tail to swing quietly, which was very beautiful.
Hanjia knew that what his people needed most now was time, they needed time to break through the hurdle that they had been unable to overcome in their hearts, this was difficult, and it was also very difficult, not everyone could maintain the initial unsuspecting attitude towards human beings after such a thing happened, after suffering such a loss.
But Hanjia believed that as long as he waited, his people would eventually understand that wariness is wariness, and they need to keep it, but more importantly, it is not just the word wariness, but that they can survive, which is why Hanjia left the sea and came to shore.
Hanjia believed that his people were kind, benevolent, and intelligent, that they were not stupider than any human, that they could be smarter than any human, that they could do many things that humans could not do, and that as long as it was so, he was confident enough to protect his people from being harmed by humans.
As long as merfolk can continue to progress and develop like humans, eventually their wisdom will protect themselves from any influence in the human world.
Don't forget that every mermaid is a natural singer, and their voice can bring happiness to humans, and similarly can confuse humans, bring them pain and abyss.
Whether it is said that Hanjia is a born calf who is not afraid of tigers, or that Hanjia is simply cute, Hanjia always feels that the human TV and novels he sees on the shore are all telling him one thing, that is, if you are backward, you will be beaten, and another thing is that as long as you have the value of being used, no one will look down on you.
In the end, Hanka's wait was worth it, because after a long silence, Hanbo finally asked, "What are your plans if you want the mermaid to leave?" ”
"I think so, if we go back, we will definitely go back, as long as we pass through the garbage flow, take things quietly and live in the mermaid ruins in Qijia Village, and then I find a way to use some books that have been studied by humans, maybe the little mermaids' diseases will be saved."
"Child, you said that the future is very good, but have you ever wondered how we can get through the garbage flow?!" Hanbo touched Hanjia's head and continued, "Do you remember why you were the only one who went ashore?!" ”
"Because I can walk through the garbage stream without hindrance."
"Yes, like you said, you can get through the garbage stream with minimal effort, and so can we, but what about the little mermaids? What about the old merfolk?! ”
Hanbo's words made Hanjia fall into thought, it is true that even if Hanjia can pass the garbage stream, not all mermaids can, and the mermaid sacrifices needless to say, they will definitely be able to pass.
But what about the ordinary merfolks?! They are also very strong, but they are not like merfolk who can pull the water of the ocean to hold their shields, which is said to be a basic skill of every mermaid before that great event, but it was later lost in that great war.
The merfolk first lost their home, and now they have lost their innate ability, and Hanjia can't help but feel very sad, this is the mermaid, the mermaid who is about to be useless.
In the end, Hanjia decided to think of a way to get the merfolk out of this "comfort zone" first, the merfolk can't go on in such ignorance, all they need is to inject new blood into them.
Qi Guanyu knocked on the door of the toilet, there was no sound coming from inside, Qi Guanyu felt that something was wrong, looking at no one around, there was an extra wire in his hand that he didn't know where to appear, after a while, the door opened a small crack, and there was no one inside.
Qi Guanyu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Qi Guanyu closed the door quietly.
"Xiao Yu! What are you doing here?! Have you seen Mr. Xiaohan?! We're looking for him! ”
"Him?" Qi Guanyu subconsciously concealed it from Han Jia, "He's in the toilet!" It's a bad stomach, you need to wait for a while, don't worry, big guy. ”
"If you want it, don't be in a hurry." The person who came said with a smile, "There is medicine for diarrhea on the ship, I'll go get it for him." ”
"Hey, that's good."
Seeing that the person was walking away, Qi Guanyu opened the gap again to make sure that the person was indeed not inside.
Qi Guanyu closed the door and thought carefully about what was wrong with Hanjia, in fact, there was a time when this was wrong, that is, on the first night of rescuing Hanjia.
Hanjia also disappeared suddenly that night, no, or to be more specific, he also disappeared in the sea, could it be that Hanjia is some kind of sea creature that became a sperm?
Thinking of this, Qi Guanyu shook his head, a little helpless, it can't be that he has become a little stupid with Hanjia recently! After the founding of the People's Republic of China, animals are not allowed to become sperm, where did the animals come from!
Qi Guanyu spit on himself in his heart, but he heard a strange sound from the toilet, and then Hanjia appeared.
"You, what are you doing?!" There was a hint of subtle tremor in Hanjia's voice, but he didn't want to have an accident just after he told the merfolk about his plan!
"Oh, go to the bathroom." Qi Guanyu said lightly.
"Oh, then you hurry up!" Hanka hurriedly came out of the toilet.
"Yes." Qi Guanyu nodded and went into the toilet.
Hanjia, who was outside, patted his chest with some fear, he shouldn't have been discovered, completely ignoring the fact that the toilet door was not locked just now.
Before Han Jia could finish rejoicing, Qi Guanyu's "demonic" voice came: "Where did you just go?" ”
Han Jia's body couldn't help but stiffen when he was about to leave, and then a fisherman came over with medicine, saw Han Jia hurriedly quickened his pace, and handed the medicine and water in his hand to Han Jia: "Teacher Xiao Han, take some medicine, and you won't have diarrhea." ”
Hanka: ...... What diarrhea?! How did he not know?!
Qi Guanyu came out of the toilet, coughed dryly, and said, "Trouble Brother Shun, give it to me, I'll supervise him later." ”
Han Jia looked at the medicine in Qi Guanyu's hands with a confused face, and the person called Brother Shun left, and then Qi Guanyu held the water cup and medicine in his hand and said to Han Jia with a smile: "Oh, take the medicine!" ”
Hanka: "Why should I take medicine when I'm not sick?!" ”
"You see you've been squatting in the toilet for so long, you must have diarrhea!" Qi Guanyu paused for a moment, and said with a look of course, "This medicine works very well, just take it." ”
Hanjia wanted to say that he hadn't been in the toilet for too long, but when he looked at the time displayed on his phone, he was speechless.
"Why don't you eat it? Still want to continue to feel uncomfortable? Han Jia looked at Qi Guanyu with a teasing expression, how could he not know that Qi Guanyu did it on purpose!
Hanjia didn't pretend anymore and returned to his true nature directly, "Don't you know where I am?!" Why are you still using this trick to trick me? ”
"Yo, are you going to pretend to do it?!" Qi Guanyu finally recovered his character as a soldier ruffian at this moment, no matter how cold and unspeakable Qi Guanyu is, there is no way to eliminate some of the "bad habits" that he has contracted in the army, such as the ruffian character, and for example, the bad and black-bellied character.
Hanka: That's so angry! But he still has to keep smiling, who made Qi Guanyu now his food and clothing parents!
Hanka remained silent.
"Now tell me who you are."
