Ignoring the crumbling Biluo on the ground, the king turned and walked up the steps, sighed, and said, "Come with me to a place, and I'll tell you why I hate humans so much." ”

I saw that after the king walked up the steps, he gently lifted the throne, and then twisted to the left, and the floor behind the throne slowly parted, and a secret passage appeared.

Bi Luo has never known that there is a secret passage in his father's study since he was so old.

"Let's go. The king spoke, and went first.

Biluo also hurriedly followed with curiosity.

After descending a few steps, the view widened. With the faint candle flame, Biluo found that this was actually an ancestral hall. The coffins and tablets are neatly placed here, and there are various paintings carved on the surrounding walls.

The king knelt on a futon and bowed to the tablet of the ancestors in front of the desk. Then he got up and said: "In addition to the ancestors of the royal family, there are countless martyrs who sacrificed their lives to protect the merman tribe, and they were all killed by humans. ”

"Humans, why do humans want to kill us?" asked Biluo, her eyes wide.

"Heh," the king sneered, pulling Biluo to the wall, "take a closer look, what is painted on it!"

It turned out that the wall depicted scenes of the mermaid being killed.

In the painting, the sharks are laughing and playing on the beach, but there is a person hiding on the stone behind them, and then the next scene is a group of people running over with knives, forks and sticks, and they are holding the weapons in their hands and falling wildly on the sharks, and the water in the sea turns blood-red.

On the other side, humans drive huge ships across the sea, holding fishing nets in their hands, constantly swinging into the sea. They chased the mermaids who fled in a hurry, and one by one they were trapped in the fishing nets, and they were allowed to faint, killed, and brought to the boat.

"No, no, why do humans do this? why?" Biluo crouched on the ground with her eyes covered, she couldn't bear to look any further.

"Why? because of human greed, because of their ignorance!" roared the king. At this time, his face was full of tears because he recalled the past.

The king said bitterly: "In the beginning, we mermaids were able to live in peace with humans, they were on land and we were in the sea, and we did not interfere with each other.

I don't know when it began, it is said that the tears of the merman can be turned into pearls, and the flesh and blood of the merman can be made into lamp oil that will not be extinguished for thousands of years. And so, the killing began.

Humanity's greed has driven them to exterminate the Shark Clan, and our territory has become narrower and narrower.

But they don't know that we were human too! Just because we chose a different way of life, our legs degenerated, we became fishtails, so we had the abilities that they thought we were?

Look at when your tears have turned into pearls!

The home we live in today was bought by our ancestors with their own blood. It's not so much a home as a cage, a cage that imprisons us. ”

The more the king spoke, the more excited he became, and he continued with tears in his eyes: "Do you think that I do not want to leave the sea and go to see the world on the surface of the sea? I have been in this sea for thousands of years, and I am tired of it. But I am the king, and I must protect our people, and I must protect this last merman!"

Biluo had nothing to say and stayed where she was in a daze. All of this today has completely subverted her cognition. Are all human beings the bad people that my father said he was?

Biluo, who returned to the dormitory, couldn't calm down her shocked mood for a long time. She wants to listen to her father, believe that human beings are not trustworthy, and do not live up to the stable life that her ancestors bought with their blood.

But the appearance of that young man lingered in Biluo's eyes and mind.

In the end, Biluo came to a conclusion: there are also bad people in the shark tribe, and the human race is also divided into good and evil. Ten years ago, the boy jumped into the water desperately to save himself, then he is a good person among human beings. Biluo believed in him.

There are still two days left before the ten-year appointment, and Biluo wants to rush to the beach to wait for the boy at this moment. But now he is still grounded by his father, and he can only wait until the coming-of-age ceremony to find a chance to sneak out.

The next day was in the blink of an eye, and the palace was flooded with countless handsome and talented young men. Rush forward to watch the princess's coming-of-age ceremony.

Today's Biluo is wearing an aqua blue Luo skirt, giving people a sense of tranquility and tranquility. Two strands of dragon's beard and fine hair hung down from the forehead, and under the delicate and elegant makeup, a light smile was gently evoked. People can't help but smile when they see it, but they have the feeling of looking back and smiling.

To the king's satisfaction, Biluo obediently completed the coming-of-age ceremony today, and obeyed her own arrangement, and chose a best among her suitors. The son-in-law chosen by the king, whether in terms of appearance, talent, or life experience, can be worthy of Biluo as a princess.

Biluo didn't resist at all, looked at the husband that her father had chosen for herself, nodded lightly, and agreed.

On this day, the king was very happy, he thought that his words yesterday had touched his daughter, made her figure it out, and completely let go of the impossible relationship.

The king immediately ordered Biluo's ban to be lifted, allowing her to enter and leave the palace freely, so that she could get along with her future son-in-law and communicate her feelings.

Biluo, who had been smiling, didn't really laugh until she heard her father lift her lockdown.

Early the next morning, the freed princess left the palace quietly under the pretext of looking for a colt, and swam with antiquity toward the shore.

It's just that she came too early. At this time, there was no one on the beach, so Biluo went around behind a big rock, crept ashore, and turned her fishtail into legs.

In the past ten years, Biluo has studied spells diligently, just to be able to transform her legs and completely transform into a human form on this day.

Biluo excitedly stroked her legs, followed the example of people walking on the beach in the distance, and took the first step tentatively.

Fall, get up again, fall again, get up again......

Biluo didn't know how many times she had fallen to the ground, and she had some abrasions on her body, but she was not afraid of pain, and she kept practicing, just to show her good side in front of the boy.

Biluo, who learned to walk, waited from morning to evening, but the boy ten years ago never appeared.

Biluo kept closing her eyes, opening them, looking into the distance, closing her eyes again, opening them......

Every time she closed her eyes, she hoped that the next second she would open them, she would see the boy rushing towards her.

But she sat on this rock and waited for more than ten hours, and every time she opened her eyes, it was a disappointing result.

Seeing that it was already evening and the sun was about to set on the shoreline, Biluo's mood became more and more uncomfortable, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Ten years, I was just a passer-by in his life. He may have forgotten about me a long time ago, and he may have married a wife and lived a happy life. Who would remember an unidentified person who was in the water......"

Biluo clutched her chest tightly in pain, and she felt as if her heart was being opened, crushed, and finally shattered to the ground.

I can't wait any longer, and if Biluo doesn't return to the palace after dark, the king will be angry again and punish himself.

"One last time, I'll try one last time. ”

With the last bit of hope, Biluo closed her eyes.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Biluo slowly opened her eyes and looked into the distance.

In the blur of tears, she saw a man running towards her in the distance.

"Is it him? Is it him?"

Biluo stood on the rock excitedly, and ran closer as the man approached. Biluo saw his face clearly.

"It's him! it's him! it's him!"

Although ten years have passed, the original immature boy has now become a mature man, and his appearance has changed a little.

But Biluo will not admit mistakes, in the past ten years, the appearance of the man has been preserved in Biluo's mind. She struggled to remember what he looked like, just for now, ten years later.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the man stepped on the shining sand and stones, and Biluo's heart beat again.

"I'm sorry I'm late. The man finally ran over, panting and saying to Biluo.

Biluo didn't say anything, jumped off the rock directly, and hugged the man tightly. She wept again, only, this time with tears of happiness.

"My name is Lan Feng, what about you?"

"Biluo. ”

"Your name is so beautiful, like a fairy in the sky. ”

was praised by the man he liked, and Biluo smiled shyly.

"I thought you weren't coming. Biluo leaned on Lan Feng's shoulder, looked at the sunset, and said aggrievedly.

"I'm sorry," Lan Feng looked at Biluo seriously and explained, "I always remember you saying that we will see each other in ten years. However, I am afraid that you will forget, that you will forget me, and that you will forget the agreement. That's why I didn't dare to go. It's good that you really came, but I still have to tell you I'm sorry, I'm late. ”

"It doesn't matter, eventually we'll meet again. That's enough. Biluo said happily.

"By the way, how did you recognize me at a glance? Running in my direction, without even asking, just saying sorry?" asked Biluo.

When Lan Feng heard this, he smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I dream of you every day, and my appearance is drawn on paper by me, and there are two large boxes. ”

"When I got closer and saw you, I recognized you. It's been ten years, and your appearance hasn't changed, and you're still as cute and innocent as you were ten years ago. Lan Feng scratched his head embarrassedly after speaking.

Biluo was very happy when she heard Lan Feng finish speaking. It turns out that the person I have liked for ten years is also thinking about myself all the time. This sensation made Biluo's heart beat faster and her cheeks burned.

The two of them just sat on the stone, watching the sunset, and told each other about their experiences in the past ten years.

However, Biluo didn't dare to tell Lan Feng his true identity. She was afraid that after Lan Feng knew that she was a mermaid and not a human, she would not be able to accept it and abandon herself. Of course, in her heart, she was even more afraid that Lan Feng was the human being that her father said, and although Biluo loved Lan Feng, she still couldn't tell Lan Feng the truth.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Biluo knew that she had to hurry back to the palace.

"Lan Feng, I'm going home. Tomorrow, shall we see you tomorrow?" asked Biluo reluctantly. In fact, she hopes to see Lan Feng every day and be with him every day.

"Okay!" Lan Feng nodded solemnly in agreement, "Then I'll send you back." ”

"Ah, no, I'll just go back by myself. Biluo refused Lan Feng in a panic, she couldn't just jump into the sea or conjure up a house.

Lan Feng saw Biluo's resignation, and he didn't ask any more, so he stepped forward and hugged Biluo again, and said softly: "Be careful on the way home, I will come very early tomorrow, and I will wait for you." ”
