Just when the water waves were obvious, I don't know if it was because Yan Ximeng was too excited and leaned too forward, so he stepped on a stone under his feet and fell into the river with a bang, making a loud noise in the silent night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Even Li Miao, who was concentrating on preparing to arrest people, was taken aback, and reflexively scolded a dirty word.

That kid was very timid, in the past, Wu Chaoyang would hum a tune on the shore in the dead of night, and he would peek out of the water and talk to Wu Chaoyang. Today, he heard the familiar song from the mouth of Yan Ximeng, which originally made him doubt in his heart, but suddenly he heard Li Miao's voice again, and he immediately retracted without thinking about it.

Underwater is Shan Mengyao's world, and he will only be asked not to leave the water, even if several other people join forces, he is not his opponent, let alone only Yan Ximeng and Li Miao.

As soon as they saw that Shan Mengyao easily showed half of his head and retracted it, the two knew that there was no drama tonight, and it was impossible for him to show his head again, so they couldn't help but complain to each other with chagrin and pity.

It's just that there is no point in complaining, and the two can't fight except for a few words, they both know that once they fight, they will each have their own damage, and they will only benefit the few remaining people in the house, so even if they look at each other no matter how unpleasant they are, they can only hold back this anger fiercely, and then quietly enter the house one after the other.

Shen Xingyue smiled, and after the two entered the house, they walked to the river, and she didn't go to the other side of the house, but sat down nearby, and didn't make a sound, just quietly looked at the river.

The scene just now seemed to have never happened, the moonlight shone on the lake, and the surroundings were quiet.

But after a while, the lake in front of Shen Xingyue rippled, and a small head poked out from the center of the river.

It was really a very thin child, who looked like he was only eight or nine years old, with a wet head and a very delicate appearance, which made people only think it was a girl at first glance, and then looked at the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose carefully, and felt that this should be just a good-looking boy. The big eyes are dark and spiritual, and they are very pleasing.

Shan Meng floated in the center of the river, only revealing most of his head, with a little timidity in his eyes, looking at Shen Xingyue cautiously.

Shen Xingyue beckoned to him with a little smile, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, Wu Chaoyang has something to ask me to bring to you." ”

Shan Mengyao seems to be very timid, and he may not communicate with people much for a long time, so he is not good at talking to people, and he said slowly after half a sound: "Just now, did you make the stones in the river sing?" ”

"yes." Shen Xingyue said: "This is the song that Wu Chaoyang taught me, he asked me to sing this song to you, let me help you." Do you know me? ”

Shan Mengyao nodded: "I know, you came yesterday and hit Li Miao with a stone, you said, you are the master here...... But where did Uncle Wu go, and why did he let you come to me? ”

"Yes, I am the master here, and I can fulfill your wishes." Shen Xingyue said: "Wu Chaoyang misses his wife, I have already sent him to find his wife, he has already left here." When I was leaving, he said that he could not rest assured that you would not be able to do so, let me come to you, and when I first came, I saw Li Miao and Yan Ximeng sneakily trying to lure you out by the river, so I threw a stone to warn you. ”

Shan Mengyao digested Shen Xingyue's words for a long time, and said: "They are bad people, and Uncle Wu always told me to keep me away from the two of them, no matter what they say, don't believe it." He also told me to stay in the water all the time, saying that only by staying in the water can I protect myself, and no one can hurt you in the water. ”

"But you're a human being, why do you stay in the water all the time?" Shen Xingyue finally asked the doubt in her heart: "Are you a fisherman's child, so the water is very good?" ”

Even if the fisherman's child was born by the sea since he was a child, the child's age here is limited, no matter how good the water is. And although the face is a little white, it is definitely not the appearance of a water ghost, in fact, although the water ghost is trapped in the water all the year round, it will never be able to travel freely in the water like this, if it is free, then there is no such thing as being trapped.

Sure enough, Shan Mengyao shook his head again and said no, and then in order to solve Shen Xingyue's doubts, he swam forward a little, Shen Xingyue felt as if she was a little dazzled, she seemed to see a big fishtail in the water, there would never be such a big fish in such a lake, and it was definitely not a human leg.

"That's ...... Fish tails? Shen Xingyue frowned: "You are a mermaid, there is really a mermaid in this world?" ”

Even if Shen Xingyue herself was an unreasonable stone demon, she still didn't think that there would really be a mermaid in the world. In the stories of those old-timers in Bluestone Valley, it has always been something that only exists in legends, and no one has ever seen it.

However, Shan Mengyao shook his head again: "I'm not a mermaid. ”

Shen Xingyue was even more dazed: "Then why do you have a fish tail?" ”

Shan Mengyao's expression darkened; "It was put on by someone, I remember there were a lot of kids my age who were put on fish tails, and then they all died, and I was the only one who survived......"

Shan Mengyao fell into the memory, but obviously the memory was a little blurred because of the long time ago, or it may be that he was still young at the time, and only a few fragments of the most impressive ones could be remembered.

"I'm so cold, so painful, so hungry, so scared......," Shan Mengyao said, as if in a nightmare, his face was shining, and he didn't know if it was the lake or tears: "But they didn't let me go home, locked us in the lake, didn't give us clothes, and only gave us raw fish to eat......"

Although I can't fully know what Shan Mengyao is talking about, I can imagine what a painful memory it is, so painful that I still can't forget it after so many years, and I still remember this pain when I forget everything.

Shen Xingyue stretched out her hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I have food and clothes here, you come here, I'll take you to find your father, I'll take you home......"

While speaking, Shen Xingyue unconsciously used some hallucinogenic powers, probably because she didn't give Shan Mengyao a little sense of danger from beginning to end, Shan Mengyao didn't wake up, but slipped over little by little, stretched out her arm, and seemed to want to grab Shen Xingyue's hand. Compared to Wu Chaoyang, who is decadent but strong enough, he is actually a person who urgently needs help, after all, he is still a child, even if he has huge strength unintentionally, his heart is still extremely fragile.

When he finally held Shen Xingyue's hand, Shan Mengyao suddenly woke up, his eyes suddenly widened, and he seemed to be very surprised why he swam to the shore, and he also held the hand of a stranger, you must know that he has not been in contact with others for a long, long time, when the ghosts are everywhere, he swims around in the river alone, there are countless ghosts who want to devour him, but as long as he enters the river, he will become a part of his power.

Finally, I don't know how long it took, and I don't know how many ghosts I devoured, no one dared to enter the water again, and in the entire consciousness world, everyone knew that there was a very powerful mermaid in the river, don't get close, if you get close, it's a dead end.

Just when Shan Mengyao woke up and opened his eyes wide to exert his strength

, Shen Xingyue suddenly said softly: "Wu Chaoyang." ”

Shan Mengyao was stunned, Wu Chaoyang was the only person he trusted all these years, and it could even be said that he was the only person he trusted in his short and long life, this name could give him a moment of silence and composure.

"It was Wu Chaoyang who asked me to come to you." Shen Xingyue continued: "He said that you are pitiful, bitter, and lonely here, and I hope I can take you away, untie your heart knot, and let you live a normal life again." ”

"Normal people...... Life? Shan Mengyao repeated, and didn't seem to understand what a normal person's life was.

"It's just that there is good food, warm clothes, and someone to accompany ......" Shen Xingyue actually didn't live such a life herself, when she was a child, she was also alone in the gloomy and dark underground, but she imagined that a normal human child should be like this, even if it is a poor family, it will try its best to leave the best to its children, and give all the warmth and love without hesitation.

Maybe no one has ever said such a thing to Shan Mengyao, the look in his eyes is not yearning, but he is a little confused, and the hand that wants to let go is very hesitant to let go slowly, and then holds some more.

Shen Xingyue didn't urge, patiently waited for Shan Mengyao's trust, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Shan Mengyao make any further moves, watching him gradually let go of his hand, and finally sighed and said: "Give it a try, even if you fail, it's better to live like this, it's better to die, isn't it?" ”

Although these words were really cruel, Shen Xingyue was unwilling to say such cruel and straightforward words to a child, but this was a very true sentence, which made Shan Mengyao's struggling and hesitant heart suddenly collapse, and as soon as he let go of his hands, he actually fainted.

This is really a very delicate boy, the upper body is like an ordinary boy, but it is very thin and white, and it is fragile in the crook of Shen Xingyue's arm as if it can be broken with a pinch. And his lower body is a big tail, Shen Xingyue looked at it carefully, and he didn't see any traces of jointing, the tail seemed to grow on him, it was seamless.

Shaking her head, she didn't understand what was going on, Shen Xingyue stood up with Shan Mengyao in her arms, no matter what was going on, she had to take this child away today, if she stayed here, as long as Wu Chaoyang was not there, Yan Ximeng and Li Miao would definitely not give up, with his ignorance and innocence, it would be a matter of time before they got it.
