Chapter Fifty-Seven: Phantoms
After that, she glanced at him angrily, the water fan flipped in her hand, the vast waves rushed in, and the small fishing boat was like a leaf floating on the water, which would be swept away by the waves at any time.
"I didn't, I was forced to ......" Zhang Yuanqing held on to the rocking boat, his voice choked.
"Stop it, Winter Sakura, Nanzhu won't want you to do this!"
"Don't talk nonsense, Nanzhu and I are on the same front, and we will destroy all of you human races who have scattered their conscience!"
"Did you say it was Nanzhu?"
"Yes, their human race is the most heinous existence, we are just doing the right thing for heaven and making the whole world better."
"Listen, even Nanzhu said that."
Everyone's eyes all looked towards Winter Sakura, and their expressions were a little strange.
"Nanzhu...... Where is it? Zhang Yuanqing choked up.
Winter Sakura pointed to her side and raised her eyebrows, "She's here, she just doesn't want to pay attention to you." ”
Three years ago, Nanzhu told her that she had made a friend of the Terrans. Winter Sakura has always been very opposed to approaching the Terrans, but she is still stubborn. "Humans only have a lifespan of a few decades, look at how pitiful they are."
Dong Ying knew that Nanzhu had always been kind-hearted, and when she saw Zhang Yuanqing, who was not much older than a chicken, she didn't stop it again.
But later, Zhang Yuanqing wanted to leave here, and Nanzhu was sad for a while.
I didn't expect to wait for two years.
How many years can the Terrans have? It's clear that I forgot about her.
Now that she appeared at this dragon king sacrifice, she couldn't help but think about it elsewhere.
"You're here to intercede on behalf of these people? Or do you want to intercede for yourself? For the sake of you and Nanzhu who were once friends, I can spare your life and send you out of this sea. ”
"If it's for this group of ignorant people...... her eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous aura of refusal to budge, "Don't blame me for not sparing you." ”
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Dong Ying's side, which was empty. Even if he didn't see anything, his eyes still showed a look of nostalgia.
After a long time, he spoke, and there were no emotional fluctuations in his voice: "Don't you like the scales on your body the most?" Why did you pull them all out? ”
Dong Ying didn't expect Zhang Yuanqing to ask such an abrupt question, so she couldn't help but be stunned, and looked down at her bare fishtail, stunned.
Yes, her favorite thing used to be her tail, and her scales were inherently gorgeous and dazzling, which no other people had ever had.
Although her white hair is disgusted by the clansmen, because of this glorious tail, she is also secretly envied by many sharks.
Why pluck it out?
"Of course, it's to make a water fan, Nanzhu said that as long as the scales on his body are pulled out to make a fan, he can avenge his clansmen and avenge her." She spoke in a firm and loud voice, as if she was doing something great and glorious.
"This is my common wish with Nanzhu."
"No, Nanzhu is so kind......" Zhang Yuanqing slowly lowered his body, covering his chest, with a sad expression, "She wouldn't say such a thing." ”
His nails sank into his flesh, he held the heartbeat that didn't belong to him, and sobbed silently: "It's me who is late." ”
"It's the same whether you come or not, these people have to die, if you hinder us here, don't blame Nanzhu for attacking you regardless of the old feelings."
Zhang Yuanqing slowly raised his head, his fists clenched and the green tendons burst out, he mustered up the courage and said loudly: "Nanzhu is no longer here!" ”
He closed his eyes again, and couldn't help but recall the last time Nanzhu came to him.
At that time, he was already bedridden and dying.
When Nanzhu opened the door, he only opened his eyes dimly, and he couldn't see her abnormality.
She said: "My heart is broken, the shark bead is useless to me, I will give it to you." ”
As he spoke, he didn't care about his objections, and forcibly stuffed the shark bead into his mouth.
Later, his body gradually improved, but she collapsed.
Obviously he didn't look out of the ordinary, but he was panting heavily, like a fish stranded on the beach.
Zhang Yuanqing was at a loss, thinking that it was because he had harmed her.
However, she said calmly: "I once told you that my shark pearl was born with a cripple and will not live long, even if I don't give it to you, I will not live long." ”
"I'm not so stupid to trade my own life for someone's life."
The corners of his mouth still raised a familiar smile, but this time, there was a bit of relief that he couldn't understand.
Before Zhang Yuanqing left, Nanzhu told him that if she wanted to find her in the future, she would come to this sea area, and she would naturally be able to sense it.
But he tried, no, no......
He didn't know until he saw Winter Sakura's appearance.
It turns out that the merman is really going to die......
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Dong Ying tilted her head and looked at Zhang Yuanqing sluggishly, as if she didn't understand what he meant.
"Nanzhu has always been by my side, can't you see it?"
Zhang Yuanqing didn't make a sound, Mo Bai didn't make a sound, and Zhao Yuanling didn't say anything.
The armadillo climbed up from under the water at this time, and as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she grabbed her hand and asked like crazy, "Have you seen Nanzhu?" She's standing right next to me, isn't she? You've seen her, haven't you? ”
The armadillo opened his mouth to speak, his eyes dodged for a moment, and finally whispered, "I can't see it." ”
"How is that possible? You're all lying to me, you're lying to me! Obviously, she is by my side and has been with me all the time! ”
The look of pity in the armadillo's eyes could not be concealed, since she saw Dong Ying, the name "Nanzhu" has never disappeared from her mouth.
I thought it was something she couldn't see, but I found out later that it wasn't.
"You're all talking nonsense!" Winter Sakura covered her ears, her expression gradually becoming distorted and crazy.
"Nanzhu has long been dead......"
"You open your eyes and take a good look, there's nothing next to you......"
"Dongying, wake up, Nanzhu is no longer there......"
The words buzzed in my ears.
She didn't believe it, she didn't believe a word.
Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head, his fists clenched, his eyes were red, and in the end, tears still couldn't stop pouring out.
The hoarse young man's voice was filled with a thick cry, "Nanzhu said that her heart protection scales were broken, so she gave me the shark bead." ”
The merman's heart scales grow at the position of the life gate, hard as armor, even if they are cut off by the waist, the heart guard scales can protect their tail and upper body from separation.
As long as it is not completely broken, there is a chance of survival.
The merman without the scales of the heart is like a branch that can be broken by the wind at any time, and it is in danger.
"Heart Scales......" Winter Sakura snorted, and her thoughts couldn't help but drift into the distance.
Nanzhu's heart scales were broken by her.
They talked about everything, but they couldn't get along all the time, and there were many conflicts during the period, but in the end they were still reconciled.
The biggest dispute was that time.
In retrospect, I can't help but feel a little ridiculous.
The thought was opened, and Nanzhu's voice was still echoing in his mind.
"Winter Sakura, you shouldn't do this to them, they are clansmen, and if you anger the sharks, you will be driven out of the clan."
At that time, her face was full of disbelief, and she argued loudly: "You didn't see them bullying me, can't you break your teeth and swallow them in your stomach?" ”
Despite Nanzhu's persuasion, Winter Sakura was accepted by the clansmen and no longer had to live a life of fear. But those bad-hearted sharks still regard it as the object of provocation and fun.
Pointing at her and scolding loudly: "Cursed mermaid, white-haired ugly monster, nemesis......"
She had heard these words countless times, and at first she refrained from arguing with them, but the more she kept silent, the more she encouraged their arrogance.
Fortunately, Nanzhu will come forward every time to help her repair the bad young sharks.
But they still relentlessly squeeze out them.
So she learned to be smart, and every time she secretly spilled her anger back in a place where the clan couldn't see it.
"Winter Sakura, you're bullying Jade Dragon again!"
Jade Dragon is Dongying's most hated young shark, that is, he took the lead in saying that she is the nemesis.
Winter Sakura shrunk her neck and denied it kindly: "I didn't, don't listen to his nonsense, if he bullied me first, I just fought back." ”
"Yes, but I saw the shark bead in the merman's hand, and it was obviously your hand that moved first."
Knowing that the matter couldn't be hidden, Winter Sakura raised her head confidently, "What's wrong with me just bullying him?" Who let him scold me before. ”
Nanzhu sighed, and said helplessly: "Shark Mu doesn't like clansmen to fight with each other, so you don't care about the villain, put up with him." ”
Forbearance, that's the word again.
From the time she came to the clan, she had heard this word from Nanzhu's mouth no less than thousands of times.
The anger in her heart was burning, and at this moment she couldn't help but burst out.
"Why do I have to endure being bullied? Every time I take a step back, what about them? Not only did you not let us be excluded by inch, but you didn't see it, bear with me, I don't want to endure it anymore, I knew it was so, you might as well not bring me back! ”
"I'm also doing this for your own good, can you not be so willful?"
"Am I willful?" Winter Sakura's eyes were red, and she restrained her tears from falling from her eyes, "They call me a cursed demon, a nemesis, and an unfortunate orphan, not only did you help me, but you also advised me not to worry about them, why are you standing on their side?" ”
"I just don't want to make the argument more heated."
"So I'm all wrong to be angry with myself? Do you deserve to scold and fight back? ”
She was furious and left the shark tribe proudly.
Now she is five hundred years old, and she is already an adult merman, even without the protection of her clan, she can survive on her own.
She came to the other side of the sea, where there were no shark crowds, no noise and noise, she was the only shark.
Free and uninhibited.
But after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some loneliness.
Nanzhu came to her several times during this period, but the persuasion was fruitless and she had to go back by herself.
