The ghosts of the good-for-nothing miko

Kawako got up quietly, and the sound came from the other side of the island.

Although it was rude to do so, Kawako still wanted to know what monster made such a beautiful sound.

It pulled at the trunk of the fir tree and peeked behind the tree sideways.

Sure enough, a long-haired woman was sitting on a raised stone on the edge of the island, with her back to Kawako. Under the moonlight, the transparent tulle she was wearing seemed weightless and dyed with a layer of glittering light. Like a fairy~

Kawako has never heard such a beautiful sound.

More than ten minutes passed, and the woman seemed tired and was about to leave~

Kawako ran out from behind the tree. He was worried that he would be sorry if he could never see this woman again...

The woman was startled by the footsteps behind her and jumped into the sea with a "plop".

Kawako hurriedly ran to the stone, raised his long arms and shouted loudly into the dark sea water:

"I am Kawako from the other side of the mountain. Can you be friends with me?"

"Don't be afraid, I just want to get to know you~"

After several calls, Kawako felt that the woman must not be here anymore. It sat on the boulder where the woman had just sat and sighed.

She regretted that her sudden appearance had scared her away. She must have felt that she was some evil peeping monster and would never be willing to come up again.

At this time, ripples appeared on the water surface, and the water was sparkling. The woman stuck out her head and looked at the lost kappa curiously.

Kawako didn't dare to express her anger, for fear that her rashness would make the woman disappear again.

This woman is very beautiful. She can be described as bright and charming. She is the most beautiful monster Kawako has ever seen. Even the peach girl in her hometown cannot compare with her.

The two stared at each other for a while, and the woman was actually willing to come out of the water and sit on the stone side by side with him.

Only then did Kawako realize that the woman had no legs, and her long fish tail was winding and hanging in the sea water.

"The sharks drink the bright moon at night, and the night light turns into beads in their eyes."

He didn’t know when he heard the story while traveling, but Kawako knew that he had met the legendary Quanke. Because of its rarity, this kind of creature was very famous in the demon world. Even his knowledgeable grandfather’s grandfather had not seen it. Pass.

In the story, the sharks in the past were far less rare than they are now, but they were just like these poems that reached the ears of the monsters.

In the eyes of humans, the sharks turn tears into beads, weave yarn into silk threads, and do not get wet when soaked in water...

Gradually, they became fewer and fewer.

The woman didn't speak, and neither did Kawako. The breeze floated, and only the transparent silk blew over the kappa's wet head from time to time, tickling~

It was late at night, and the woman sang a song. After the song, she waved to Chuanzi and left.

The next day, Kawako leaned on her baggage, feeling a little regretful. Why didn't she ask her name? She didn't know if she could see her today. They should be considered friends, right?

After a series of questions, Kawako even forgot about measuring the water level, and just waited for night to fall again.

Fortunately, the shark still appeared and was still there, sitting side by side on the stone.

Listening to her sing, it's like I never get tired of listening to it~

When parting, Kawako finally plucked up the courage to ask her name.

The woman shook her head. She had no name.

Kawako pursed her lips and looked at the lake, the moon, and the woman's tail.

"How about Ponniu? This name is as nice as the peach girl in my hometown~"

The woman smiled and nodded.

In this way, Kawako and Ponyo officially became friends.

Kawako discovered that Ponyo sang songs, but could not speak, but was very willing to listen to Kawako.

He talked about his hometown, Ponyo there, how ferocious the three-color leopards were on the other side of the mountain, the legendary Demon King Mountains and the reappearance of witches.

After the Demon King went to the meeting, the news came out, saying that the new human witch was very powerful, showed her teeth and loved money most, and even the most ferocious Lord of Hell was afraid of her~

Ponyo likes to listen to it tell stories. She can only live by the Bimeng Lake. Even the monsters have only seen the carp spirit with a squeaking mouth~

Also~

Ponyo smiled sweetly at Kawako and said goodbye tomorrow.

She was indeed very trustworthy, but she brought another shark.

A male shark~

Ponyo gestured and leaned into the male Shark's arms.

Kawako was a little sad, but she didn't know why she was sad.

But Ponyo was happy.

The two people I like finally meet~

The male shark also shook hands with Kawako happily.

Later~

The date between two people turned into three people~

All night, Ponyo will sing~

The song is still very nice, why is it so nice~

The nice Kawako has been here for a week.

Until he finally made up his mind to leave Biemeng Lake, there were still many places waiting for him to travel and see.

It muttered, wiped the tears from its eyes, and bid farewell to the sharks.

He said that he came here because he wanted to measure the water level, but this reason was not that important anymore. Meeting Ponyo was the happiest thing during this period.

When the male shark heard what Kawako said, he patted Kawako's hand and jumped into the water with a "gudong" sound.

Ponniu nodded, motioning for Kawako to follow her, and with a "gudong" sound, she also jumped into the water.

Kawako has been swimming hard. Although he is a child of the river, he has never been to such a deep sea.

This island turned out to be very big, and the underwater land surface looked like a small mountain. It turned out that I had always been on the top of the mountain.

The sharks surrounded him, and the silk on their bodies absorbed the moonlight. At this moment, they were like the moon under the water, emitting a soft light, helping Kawako to see more carefully.

It can be said that the moon is as bright as water. At this moment, the water is as bright as the moon~

It turns out that there are not only mountains under the water, but also some caves, but the residents inside are now those colorful little fishes.

Kawako playfully pulled at the entrance of a hole, wanting to scare those timid creatures, and not wanting to almost have his nose bitten off by the snake-headed fish.

It was so frightened that it choked several times in the water and never looked at those holes again~

Finally, they were almost at the bottom of the lake. If they continued swimming, they would not be able to lift their limbs tomorrow. The sharks pointed at the dark, twisting ribbon.

It turns out that these fat aquatic plants are supporting such a huge thing. It’s incredible. In Kawako’s eyes, those aquatic plants are dancing~

Dance(((((?(???)?)))))

……

That's because although they can't feel it, there are always undercurrents under the water. That undercurrent travels through the deepest lake bottom, and a three-legged cat like Kawako cannot get past it with his diving skills.

It had no choice but to obey the shark's instructions and only swam around the edge of the big thing.

This time, it was happy and understood the secret of this living island~

This is the remains of an ancient giant turtle. I don’t know how long it has been dead, but it is suspended on the shore of Biemeng Lake. It cannot float away because the rising and falling water levels of those dancing aquatic plants cannot withstand the length of those aquatic plants, so There is such a legend.

Maybe, this dream, a long, long time ago, maybe it was a vast ocean~
