The island is not very big, and it is starting to rain again, so the matter of carrying sea water is also saved.The little face that was tanned by the sun was smiling, and it didn't look like he was in the last days at all.No, it's the atmosphere of the whole island that doesn't look like it's in the last days.There was no despair or panic, the men sawed off the fallen branches of the palm trees, broke off the excess leaves, and then hollowed out with tools as if to make a canoe, while the women found something to use in the collapsed rubble.They have cellars underneath their houses.Xia Yi said that when he woke up, although he was lying on a simple bed, he was on the ground, and when he climbed up the wooden ladder, he saw that the house was empty and there was almost nothing, as if all the belongings were in the cellar, and the house above was also a workshop or a place for cooking and resting.Maybe it's because there are often hurricanes here.The sirens heard from Taumas that many of the people on the island would have solid cellars and take refuge in them during hurricane season, so the people on this island would be able to explain their usual happy life When they found that the seabirds were wandering for no reason, and the weather was abnormal, probably everyone on the island thought that the hurricane was coming and hid underground, and the deadly cosmic astronomical radiation caused by the disappearance of the magnetic field did not affect them at all.At most, it was later found that many plants were sunburned to death for no reason, which is very bizarre.Saws and plastic buckets are the simplest, probably trade, modern things are almost extinct on the island, including everything related to electricity, the island is estimated to be located in a remote location, not in the place where the ocean current passes or on the specific shipping lane, it is normal for several months without visitors, and the people on the island continue to live their lives without knowing anything.As they worked, they shouted trumpets in unison, as if singing.After a while, there was a young man who could speak English, but the other party's level was not high, similar to Xia Yi, and he couldn't speak complex sentences at all, and he listened to it for a long time, and barely knew where it was.Anuta Island is not a country or a tribe, and there are no chieftains anyway, and there are less than 400 people in total.This young man had traveled to the Solomon Islands and New Guinea with a trading ship, and had seen a lot, but in the end he still returned to this land, because there was no competition and no gap in professional status, everyone was divided and cooperated, and the land was full of root and tuber plants and breadfruit, and they went out to sea to fish together, and the food they ate was not pickled and preserved by each family.I guess I'm worried about how to catch the fish, where to find the fish.Or when the hurricane comes, the crops aren't ripe or something.But this is an isolated island, and the nearest islands are far, far away, and there is no way to reach the other islands according to Anuta's ship anyway.The young man said that his eyes could not help but look at the siren, and he probably felt that it was not good to do so, so that his neck stiffened later, and he tried not to stare."
Ah, we used to see stranded dolphins watering like this," the young man suddenly became embarrassed when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the siren's fishtail."
Always wait until the tide is high, and then put them, ah no, I mean him, no, I mean the dolphins of the past" The young man was at a loss, gesturing and humming, "Dolphins rarely come to our side, because there are not many fish, but when they appear, it is a good omen, indicating that the fish are migrating this way, and when I go to the sea to fish, I see them and find the fish" Xia Yi couldn't help but think of the cute little guy.Unfortunately, I didn't know where it went, and the sirens only told Abiter to send it back.That's right, dolphins are frolicking in groups, even if they can keep it all the time, the little guy loves to toss so much, he will definitely be lonely without a playmate.But the siren's expression was a little subtle.Dolphins eat a lot, they chase fish, although they like to be close to humans, but the South Pacific Ocean is famous for its sea deserts, and even tens of millions of miles of sea are so scarce that there are only deep blue waters, and there are many people on some of the larger islands who hunt dolphins, because they think they are robbing them of food, this island called Anuta is really interesting."
Last time, there was a sperm whale stranded here, it was also after a hurricane, and it was also this gentle slope" Dolphins and whales are both mammals, although they can't die for a while without the sea, but the whale is too big, and it can't bear its own weight when it leaves the sea, and the internal organs will soon be unable to support and break off."
It's useless to water it, and it's too big and heavy, we can't move it, and finally" Xia Yi listened silently, just feeling sad inexplicably, the young man's tone changed to cheerful again: "In the end, it still died, and it took the whole island to eat it for several days." ”Xia Yi was so frightened that she couldn't speak at all.The sirens think it's normal, of course, after the sea creatures die, they float in the sea, and they generally don't eat the same kind, but in the end, the corpses will still be eaten by other creatures, and they try to save other creatures in the end, and they really don't succeed, isn't it normal to eat the corpses?
However, merfolk are picky, and the sirens do not eat any dead food, but only hunt live delicacies.The siren looked at Xia Yi from a side angle, the only thing he knew was that if Xia Yi really wanted to leave, he really refused to see himself again, or was closer to other humans than himself, and the mermaid would drag the loved one to the bottom of the sea, and would not even let go of the corpse, or never be separated at all, and some mermaids in the past had also done such terrible and cruel things.Love is great, but love is also terrifying."
Is he a mermaid?"
the young man asked unnoticed, still excited.Xia Yi didn't answer, in fact, he had only said a few tone particles until now, and it was always this young man who was chattering."
I've heard a lot of stories about mermaids, at sea, yes, it's completely different from what you write in your books."
He couldn't help but glance at the siren again, the finely arranged pale silver scales, "Those white-skinned people always say that we are joking, and that even mermaids are beautiful, good-tempered haha, mermaids are indeed beautiful, and the stories of every place are beautiful, but the temper is really bad." ”He said this in a hurry, and his tone was strange, which made Xia Yi, who watched translated films and learned English, most of them couldn't understand it, and only caught a few words, that is, story, mermaid, beautiful, and temperament.The worst thing is that this guy has strange rhetoric, and he can't use it for his excellent appearance or anything, so he can only emphasize it repeatedly in the simplest words."
There has been a mermaid in New Caledonia, her hair and eyes are as blue as the sea, she is a beauty, her skin is snow-white, it is terrible that she sank the ship of the Spaniards, there are deep paw prints on the corpse floating up, and four blood arcs" Because this paragraph may have been described many times to people outside the island, it is much more fluent, Xia Yi's heart tightened for no reason, and he turned his head to look at the siren.What's the matter, it's okay Xia Yi knew that the siren couldn't understand human language, but this kind of emotion that had just stabilized suddenly and hesitantly shook the feeling was very bad, and reason once again overwhelmed the emotion, he thought strangely, if the siren saw the same kind, especially if he was still that kind of companion in English, he and her were different words, Xia Yi listened very subtlely and in a trance."
The scars of those corpses are on the neck, and in the chest, so if we catch a big fish with such scars, we know that it has touched a mermaid" The young man looked at the siren and then at Xia Yi, "so we all thought at first that you were attacked by a mermaid, so we moved you away, we were still very nervous when you approached just now, you see we didn't dare to get too close to it, uh no, I mean he the wound on your back looks so scary, although it doesn't bleed anymore" He stammered a little, obviously he used to call mermaids before, But I really didn't expect the mermaid to pronounce a name out loud, so it seems a little wrong to use "it" in front of the sirens, and the people on the island believe in the mermaid even if they believe it, and only those old people believe that merfolk can communicate.Xia Yi didn't know what this person was thinking at all, he was still in a trance, and suddenly he couldn't help but ask: "Where is the mermaid you said New Caledonia" The name is a little familiar, but after all, it is English, Xia Yi read it several times, slowly started to think from around Australia, and then suddenly frowned.This archipelago is just on the other side of the Coral Sea."
She's been there all this time, I mean she hasn't been found dead by white or other national ships, is it possible that the international community has covered up this matter" "Oh, no" The young man scratched his head, "This was seventy years ago" Xia Yi was still stunned, because he didn't understand, he blurted out this matter, whether he wanted the sirens to find his kind, or whether he was going to stay away from the sea."
The Caucasian later brought the army to investigate, because she was not caught, and the body was decomposed again, so I thought it was killed by the people on the island, as if there was a lot of trouble at the time, and then people like us who heard the story wanted to find it, but unfortunately no one saw it again" He said in a hurried and excited tone, "But we just know that mermaids must exist, I have been out, and many people on the island have different stories about mermaids, and they are all bad-tempered, very fierce, it is said that even sharks are not afraid" The young man spread his hands, made a very exaggerated move.The siren didn't understand, he just sensed that Xia Yi's mood was a little wrong.The naked and smooth arm rubbed against Xia Yi's legs from below, the sharp nails, and the translucent slightly open fins on the wrists, suddenly appeared on Xia Yi's tanned wheat-colored skin, and the paleness of the bones was still very terrifying, the young man gasped, and he raised his eyes just to see the cold chill condensed in the siren's purple eyes.After a shake, the man snorted and turned and ran away."
Wait," "It's not high tide," a dozen people shouted and pushed out a strange-looking boat.If it were a canoe, it was a little more advanced, with three large tree trunks, and then a thicker, hollowed-out trunk was crossed and tied to it, and on either side there were slightly thinner trunks that extended out, like scaffolding, and there were three masts standing on it.As a result, the crowd discussed, and finally the young man was pushed out by everyone, very embarrassed: "That, can you move" The answer is obvious, Xia Yi looked down at the siren: they said that they didn't need the siren to send us back to the sea, even if they felt that these people were no longer hostile, shaken by the sense of crisis, he couldn't wait for Xia Yi to leave quickly, but he couldn't have more to do with these people, lest a few tuna can't solve it in the future, you can completely roll the sea water over, I know, But Xia Yi looked at the children who were still lying on the ground happily digging shells and picking up small crabs, and there was no way: that was also their food, and the waves swept over, and it was very likely that this large area of herring and shells that fell from the hurricane tornado would wash away.After the last few people leaned over, they trembled and lifted their hands, Xia Yi knew that the siren's fishtail was sensitive, so he endured the pain in his back, and held the siren's fishtail and successfully lifted him to the strange-looking canoe.Although the process was short, less than a minute, the siren's arms and shoulders were still unstoppably stiff when they came into contact with the humans, and they stared at them with an unkind expression, which made these people extremely stressed and cold sweat rolled on their heads.But then it was fine, and the crowd began to laugh and laugh again, shouting and pushing the boat down the gentle slope, probably as they said often to send stranded dolphins, and they were very familiar with it, and they were very fast and rushed to the beach in a short time.Xia Yi looked back, and happened to see a little child picking up the scales that had fallen before the siren, raising his hand and running away with a smile, followed by a group of children who were unwilling to chase and want to rob him.Then the boat was pushed into the sea, and several men jumped in and grabbed the oars.Start paddling forward.Because the wind was still very strong at sea, I didn't dare to go too far, and the canoe stopped at a depth of about seven or eight meters.Xia Yi stood up and jumped into the sea, this action startled the paddler, and then a wave swelled up and carried the siren into the sea very smoothly, and the person holding the oars still opened his mouth wide and couldn't close until he was pushed back to land by the waves.The waves on the sea are two or three meters high, the sky is cloudy, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier.Looking at the sea in the distance, the crowd gathered on the shore was a little stunned, they sent the mermaid back to the sea, why did the human also leave or jump into the sea by himself gd1806102:
