The owner of this humble cabin is named Anna, an orphan of the Sea Clan. www.biquge.info The residents of this street saw that she was pitiful, so they built a wooden house for her, and they have been secretly taking care of her on weekdays. And this little girl, named Anna, is also the lifesaver of the group, and when she goes to the beach to pick up waste as usual, she finds the broken Waves.

Such an orphan, but with an optimistic and cheerful personality.

Anna sat across from her, her eyes wide, listening intently to Lin Qiu's story. Lin Qiu has always prided himself on being versatile, but storytelling and donkey raising are his well-deserved skills - raising donkeys may not be as good as his grandfather, but he believes that no one in this world is his opponent.

The story of this daughter who crossed the sea that everyone had heard before seemed very strange in this world. Because no one could have imagined that in the deepest part of the sea, there is a group called merfolk, especially for the sea tribe.

Although, according to Old Jack, Atlantis is located in the deepest part of this sea, the Sea Clan doesn't know much about the real sea. Sailing without permission was considered taboo in this country, and no one dared to violate the royal family's prohibition.

Anna sighed: "The mermaid is so pitiful. ”

In Lin Qiu's impression, this is a rare unhappy ending in fairy tales.

After Alyssa put a bunch of things in this hut and asked Lin Qiu to stay here with Anna, she went to find a way to leave Atlantis. At least Lin Qiu felt that all the problems appeared in that clear blue sky, and all his knowledge told him that there was only one sun, and there could be no second sun in the deep sea.

However, the sun was indeed shining high above Atlantis, so that Lin Qiu had the idea that Atlantis had not sunk at all.

"Anna, where do you mean Qinghai leads?"

Qinghai is exactly where Anna found them. There was a large golden sandy beach, and Anna would go there every morning to pick up small items that had washed ashore by the sea, and the uncle at the grocery store told her that these small objects could be processed into delicate ornaments, and that he would pay Anna some in return.

That's enough money for her to buy a grilled fish.

"I don't know, the royal family forbids some people to sail...... But that beach sometimes washes up with something from the sky. ”

For example, the Waves, for the first time, she saw a living person washed ashore.

The Atlanteans called the land of the sky, and the wrecks of the ships that washed ashore convinced them that there was a mysterious kingdom in the skies above Atlantis.

However, the royal family never recognized this, and regarded the Hai Clan who spread such rumors as an evil party and sentenced them to death.

Jack's shouting outside the door suddenly stopped, and it wasn't long before an even bigger commotion came. Through the window, Lin Qiu saw that the Sea Clan had all put down what they were doing and walked in the direction of the square. It was a small village in the kingdom of Atlantis, and whenever there was a major event, the emissaries from the royal palace would announce the king's decree in that square.

"Oh yes, the day after tomorrow is the Poseidon Festival!"

Anna seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Poseidon Festival?"

Before the crossing, he had also heard that some ancient villages in some coastal cities still maintained this custom, and at certain times of the year, the villagers would let the small rafts carrying the offerings float to the depths of the sea, which meant to pray for blessings. People who live by the sea often worship the god of the sea.

"yes, that's the grand time of the year in Atlantis. At the beginning of the festival, everyone lights up their homes and celebrates in the streets. After the sacrifice is completed, the god of the sea will bless the next year. I'm going to get there quickly, too!"

When Anna trotted Lin Qiu all the way to the square, the sea tribes of the entire village gathered there. Jack and his crew also mingled with the crowd, but their hair color, which was very different from that of the Sea Clan, was particularly striking. Lin Qiu felt that since the royal family was hostile to Herutia, he would probably not welcome their arrival.

Fortunately, the messenger of the palace looked like he was so high that he wanted to raise his head to the sky, and he didn't bother to look at the villagers of this village.

"The Poseidon Festival, the lucky one who was chosen by the Poseidon is...... Prepare for the arrival of a ship from the palace in Qinghai on the evening of the Poseidon Festival!"

With that, surrounded by soldiers, the messenger walked away, leaving only the villagers in the square in an eerie silence.

Lin Qiu looked down at Anna. She squinted and smiled, as if she was in a particularly good mood.

"Hey, boy, what does it mean to be chosen by the god of the sea?"

Jack's voice came out from behind him coldly, and the old man's nose turned red from drinking: "It's obviously the biggest day of the year, why is everyone's atmosphere so solemn?"

It can be said that on the square, except for Anna, the rest of the sea tribes are all heavy-faced.

"Didn't you listen to that person? The palace boat will meet them in Qinghai, and being selected by the sea god is probably similar to drawing a high-end buffet ticket, and it is understandable that these people have not won the lottery, so they are in a bad mood. ”

Lin Qiu leaned into Jack's ear and whispered, for fear that the people around him would hear it.

"Really?"

Jack will be skeptical.

"I read a lot, I won't lie to you. ”

Hearing this, Jack froze.

This kid actually made fun of him for not reading a few books in his life!, but if you think about it, anyone who can be around Alyssa is not incompetent.

Although he was a little unhappy, he could only choose to believe it: "I'll believe you once." ”

In Lin Qiu's conception, the Sea God Festival should be similar to the New Year. It's just that the people of Atlantis did not have the custom of setting off cannons, but replaced them with lanterns.

"Anna, you seem to be happy. ”

Lin Qiu sat on the chair, and as soon as they entered the door, Anna was busy with herself. She pulled out a brand new dress from her closet, the buttons of which were made of shells, and the hem of which was inlaid with pearls, a world of difference from the plain cloth dress she was wearing at the moment.

"Because, ah, the child chosen by the god of the sea should wear the most beautiful dress - this dress was given to me by everyone in the village!"

Sure enough, a child is a child, and he will cheer because of a beautiful dress.

The reason why he asked this was because Lin Qiu always felt that this matter seemed a little strange. Of course, his rhetoric about Jack was made up, and with the degree to which the people in the village took care of Anna, if it was really a good thing, everyone would definitely not be so depressed.

What's more, the messenger said nothing about the most important sacrifice in the sacrifice.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiu seemed to have some understanding.

"The Poseidon Festival is the day after tomorrow, right?"

"Hmm. ”

Anna nodded heavily.

......

The bell rang for the second time in the middle of the night, which meant that it was two o'clock in the night, and the entire village had fallen into a deep sleep, and only the sound of even breathing remained in the wooden house. Alyssa and Anna, who had been busy all day, slept very deeply this night, and Lin Qiu waited for them to fall asleep and jumped up from the ground.

At this moment, there is only one house in the huge village with candles lit.

This is the village chief's home.

Lin Qiu had already practiced light kung fu in the half month he had become Liya's teacher, and he quietly walked to the window of the village chief's house, and under the reflection of the candle flame, there were two figures floating in the room.

He was glad that technology was far behind modern times, that the hut was barely soundproofed, and that he could hear the conversations of the people inside.

"Boy, why are you here. ”

A rough hand rested on his shoulder, and Jack's muffled voice came over. He imitated Lin Qiu's appearance, hunched his back and hid under the window.

"I should have asked you!"

Lin Qiu was shocked by him and let out a cold sweat, he thought that he had regressed by not practicing latent skills for so long.

Jack squinted, looking non-negotiable: "You speak first." ”

"Because the bell is so noisy that I can't sleep at all, I plan to come to the village chief to complain. ”

"As it happens, so did I. ”

Having said that, neither of them had any intention of going in.
