"Da Da" This meeting, the mermaid did not avoid Jack, her fingers kept on her forehead. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Click" Jack mimicked the mermaid's vocalizations, trying to remove her fingers with his hand.

After some evasion, Jack saw a small scratch on the mermaid's face. Jack felt his heart ache for a moment, the same way he felt when he was a child when he saw his mother being called crazy.

Jack wanted to hold the mermaid's hand, but she avoided it, Jack didn't back down, he insisted on pulling her fingers, I don't know how long it took, this feeling seemed like a century long. Finally, the mermaid relented.

Jack took the mermaid's hand and followed the route that he recalled in his mind from time to time, to the place where the white shells gathered.

These shells are more than a meter long, and the smallest one is half a meter, he found the relatively smallest white shell, and wanted to be caught by the mermaid as he had healed himself last time, but the mermaid avoided his body lightly.

"Click" The mermaid gestured to Jack with her hand and voice, and gradually Jack understood that although this white shell could heal quickly, it could not clamp his face.

The mermaid had a slightly painful expression on her face, and the scratches faintly shone with scars, which seemed to have been injured in the past few days.

Jack couldn't help but feel warm when he saw the mermaid smiling at her, and it seemed that she could understand her kindness.

After wandering around the white shelled sea, the mermaid motioned for Jack to leave, but was startled by Jack's movements.

Jack slashed his shoulder with his sharp fingers, then opened the white shell and squeezed it in.

Soon, the white shell secreted a milky white liquid, and Jack, in his conscious state, saw the blood from the wound slowly being sucked into the shell, and he guessed that the white shell might be sucking blood droplets and flowing milky white saliva, which could make the wound heal quickly.

This underwater fantasy world, this world that resists human exploration with sea pressure, there are so many strange creatures that exist.

Jack couldn't help but think of the news he had seen in the newspaper in the past, where an oversized fish had been found, or where a new creature had been found, which looked very much like a monster in a fairy tale.

The mermaid in front of "Da Da" looked at Jack puzzled, she didn't understand why Jack had injured herself, and swam around Jack in a circle.

Jack pulled the milky white liquid out of the shell with his hand and wiped it off the mermaid's forehead near him, only to see the wound scar quickly disappearing.

The mermaid's gaze at Jack softened, and Jack felt that the mermaid's face at the moment was very charming and charming. This feeling he had had when he first saw the sea.

The mermaid made a soft sound, her long and thick eyelashes drooped, and the next moment, Jack was pulled by her to swim deeper, a deep sea he had never set foot in.

On this night, they chased and frolicked among the various plants of the deep sea, they swam among the schools of fish, and they felt the moonlight together in the boundless ocean.

Jack has never been so happy and free, never so relaxed and comfortable. Jack looked at the mermaid, she was as beautiful as a sea elf, looking at her, Jack felt that his heart was full of joy and satisfaction, for him, being with her, it was a baptism of the soul.

Time passed in Jack's nightly chase and frolic with the mermaid, and Jack learned the meaning of her words from spending time with the mermaid, and he could already simply talk to the mermaid.

He knew why mermaids were often seen by himself, but not by humans. In order to escape from human pursuit, in order to reach the depths of the ocean where even great white sharks cannot dive, the mermaid school has adapted to the invasion of sea pressure in the long-term evolution.

He knew why mermaids were easily attracted to the sound of dolphins, and it turned out that creatures such as dolphins could not adapt to the pressure of the deep sea, so the mermaid would be curious about why dolphin sounds appeared in the depths of the sea.

He knew why the ancient caves filmed by archaeologists were broadcast on TV from time to time, and there would be mermaid-like creatures painted by the ancients on the stone walls: it turned out that as early as ancient times, apes evolved into human apes and sea apes, and the land was more suitable for human growth and development, and there were many natural enemies in the sea, and great white sharks often could not dodge, so sea apes, that is, mermaids, had to survive close to the shallow sea, and prey on fish together with humans, forming an opposing situation, and were hunted and driven away by humans.

From the mermaid's mouth, Jack knew what kind of shells to eat, what kind of fish to dodge, and what kind of aquatic plants to make a water net.

Gradually, Jack's time in the room became shorter, and he continued to develop potions that could sustain the mermaid in the sea for a long time, and for him, swimming with the mermaid every night became the most interesting and heartwarming moment of his life.

From time to time, Jack takes the mermaid on an adventure closer to the inhabited waters, competing for speed, the number of fish caught, and then smiling at each other.

The sound of "dada, catalpa" in my ears before has become: I'm very happy, let's go fishing.

That night, Jack follows Sophie to a huge shipwreck in the depths of the sea, and he looks at the moss-covered ship with mixed feelings, which for a human being, means that many of his companions have lost their relatives and friends due to an unexpected disaster.

"Jack, what's wrong with you? you seem to be unhappy!" Sophie approached Jack with concern, looking at him suspiciously.

"I—I'm nothing, I just feel like a lot of lives are dying because of this shipwreck. Jack prayed in his heart for the people who died, and his heart was mixed.

"Jack, follow me!" Sophie pulled Jack into the wreck, and she expertly pushed open the door.

"Shall we go in?" asked Sophie, fingers touching the moss that swam by.

"Come, take these jewels!" said Sophie gently to Jack.

"Do you like these jewels?" Jack looked at Sophie curiously, her smooth and white shoulders would indeed be very beautiful if she wore jewels.

"Follow me! Grab the jewels, don't drop them!" Following Sophie, Jack swam to the shallow water.

"Hey, Sophie, are we so close to the shallow water, didn't you tell me to stay away from the human living zone?" Seeing that the beach was getting closer and closer, Jack asked Sophie anxiously.

"It's going to be right away!" Sophie's soft voice soothed Jack's concerns.

"What are you doing? Why are you putting these jewels in shallow water?" Jack looked at Sophie, puzzled.

"These shipwrecks have buried a lot of lives, and I think that maybe these human relics can soothe the grief of their relatives and friends, and if they are picked up by other humans, they can also improve their living conditions. Sophie's eyes softened at the human dwelling.

"But this is too risky! if we are not careful, we will be discovered by humans!"

"We've always been very careful, and every merfolk will try to do the same!Although we were expelled by humans in ancient times, the creed of merfolk is to grow together, and in this world, cherish every life!" Under the moonlight, Sophie's whole body was covered with a soft light, and Jack's heart was lifted.
