Talk about a love affair with a shark

The wind was raging, and the rain was pouring, as if the sea was venting its anger, and the waves roared and washed the island.

In the small fishing village on the island, the simple and simple cabins are extremely fragile in this stormy weather.On the gloomy and cold coast, only the oil lamp of the hut lit a warm connection.

Hai Xing hummed a little song and tidied up the dishes on the table. Seeing the dreary weather outside the window, he turned around and asked, "Grandpa, why isn't the weather sunny? If we don't go fishing, we won't have enough food."

Grandpa Hai coughed, his voice hoarse, "Hurry up, the weather will clear up soon, the sea will not abandon its people."

Hai Xing pouted, Grandpa was always nagging.However, the weather is finally going to be normal. Grandpa Hai is the oldest person in the village, and he has a very deep understanding of the sea. Since he said that the weather is about to clear up, it must be sunny soon.

Hai Xing's reaction fell into the eyes of Grandpa Hai, and the old man frowned, "We live near the sea, and we have received the gift of the sea, so we must respect the sea, otherwise, one day, the sea will send its messengers to take back everything... "

"The emissary of the sea lives in the abyss of the sea, possesses supernatural powers, is good at weaving shark silk, and tears can turn into pearls." Hai Xing took the words of his grandfather, "Grandpa, how many times have you said that your ears are going to grow cocoons. What kind of mermaid." After finishing speaking, he put the dishes into the cabinet, spread his hands, walked to Grandpa Hai, and helped him walk to the next bedroom.

Grandpa Hai was choked, and laughed and scolded, "Stinky boy. How dare you dislike me for being naughty." The crutch landed on Hai Xing's buttocks. It didn't take much effort, but Hai Xing pretended to be in pain, and Grandpa Hai was teased by him. Had to laugh and cough.

"Then grandpa has a good rest, and I'm going to rest too." Haixing helped grandpa make the bed, and went upstairs to his own small attic.

Grandpa Hai watched Haixing go upstairs, with a different look in his cloudy eyes, nostalgic and awed.

The emissary of the sea, the shark, lives in the water like a fish, never wastes his weaving, and weeps into pearls.Although Hai Xing always thought it was just a legend, Grandpa Hai firmly believed in the legend.When he was young, he encountered a heavy rain at sea and lost his way. At that time, a humanoid creature guided him in the direction and brought him back to land.Bian has been in awe of these legends ever since.

The starfish in the attic gradually fell asleep listening to the crackling rainstorm outside.

At night, the sound of rain gradually subsided.

Starfish was surprised to find that he was sunk in the deep sea. He tried hard to swim to the surface of the sea, but lost control of his body and went deep into the sea.Holding his breath for too long, he couldn't help but started to breathe. He thought he was about to be choked by sea water, but found that he could actually breathe in sea water.

After swimming for an unknown amount of time, Starfish saw a bright light ahead.After getting closer, I found that the bright light was emitted by round pearls.Looking around, I found that there are many fishes with different postures and even strange shapes that I have never seen before, and they shuttle between the colorful corals.

Wanting to look around, as soon as the idea came out, Hai Xing regained control of his body.With just one of the pearls here, I and my grandfather will have nothing to worry about in this life.Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to touch the glowing beads, but at this moment, all the lights suddenly dimmed.When it lit up again, Starfish found that he was no longer on the bottom of the sea just now, and directly in front of him was a statue surrounded by coral.

The moment Hai Xing saw the statue, he seemed to have been greatly shocked. It was the statue of the Merman that Grandpa often talked about.Although it was just a statue, it had an extraordinary aura all over its body. After being shocked, Starfish approached the statue.This merman statue has a handsome face like a god, a thin and slender body, the tail of the lower body is four or five feet long, and the carving of the tail fin is also meticulous.Looking closely, the shark's ears are fin-like wings, and from the ears to the cheeks, there are inconspicuous scales.And the hands he raised couldn't be called hands at all, like the webs of a duck, connecting the shark's five fingers, and the fingertips of the five fingers had sharp nails. Although they were just statues, Starfish seemed to see the cold light shining from the nails.

This statue is so real, it reminds Hai Xing of his grandfather's rambling all day long, do sharks really... exist?

"...Come back...return...come back...let's go..." Intermittent voices reached Hai Xing's ears.

Starfish, who was lost in thought while looking at the statue, felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he heard the voice.

The voice didn't stop, it was still intermittent. As Hai Xing listened, his body began to ache suddenly, as if something was about to break free from his own blood. He lay on the ground in pain, just when he thought When he was going to be tortured to death here, "Stinky boy, how long do you want to stay in bed." Grandpa Hai's voice shocked Hai Xing, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Grandpa Hai was about to pat him.

"grandfather?"

When Grandpa Hai stared, he was about to get angry.

Only then did Hai Xing realize that the statue and the pain were all a dream.Seeing his dazed look, Grandpa Hai thought he was still asleep, and raised his crutches to beat him up. Hai Xing saw it, rolled around wrapped in a quilt, and said shamelessly, "Get up now, get up right away, Grandpa!" Take it easy."

Only then did Grandpa Hai snort, and turned around slowly, planning to leave, "Your Uncle Hailou is going out to sea for fishing, you pack up quickly, take advantage of the good weather these few days, and go with him."

After Grandpa Hai left, Hai Xing still felt a little unbelievable, it was just a dream?But obviously, I can still feel the soreness in my bones, and I still remember the appearance of that statue so clearly.

"Haixing, pack up quickly, I'll be waiting for you!" came a rough voice.

"Immediately." Hai Xing responded, and went downstairs to bring some dry food and fresh water prepared by his grandfather, and shouted into the house, "Grandpa, I'm leaving." He left full of vigor.

Hai Xing is now 17 years old and has been fishing with Hailou since the year before last.There are eight people on Hailou's fishing boat, including Haixing, and Hailou is the boss of the boat.The starfish is the person who steers the ship and is responsible for the direction of the ship.Learning these things from Grandpa Hai since childhood, Starfish will almost never get lost at sea.

The boy ran towards the coast, where there were many fishing boats parked, and he greeted the villagers he knew one by one.

On the fishing boat in Hailou, the fishermen had already arrived, and only Haixing was missing. Seeing him running, he called out loudly, "Haixing, here, come quickly! It's time to go!"

A clear voice responded loudly: "Understood, I'll go there now."

Haixing boarded the fishing boat with a smile, and the fishermen on the same boat slapped him on the head: "Are you stuck in bed again?"

The young man glared at him, frowned bitterly, and said aggrievedly: "I can't get the head on, what should I do if I don't grow tall. Besides, I didn't want to stay in bed. I just had a very strange dream, and I couldn't wake up no matter what." Come." The person next to him obviously didn't believe it, and at the same time let out a loud laugh, and then said: "Come on, we know exactly how well you can sleep."

Hai Xing was a little embarrassed, but speaking of it, he was indeed able to sleep better.Simply ignoring the teasing of the fishermen, he changed the topic: "Uncle Hailou, where are we going this time? Are we going to the same place as last time?"

The person who was asked thought for a while: "Go, that's it. Last time our harvest was really good."

"Okay, let's sail!"

The people on the fishing boat got busy one after another, performing their duties.

Hai Xing pointed out the direction and asked others to steer the helm for him, but he began to lose his mind.Looking at the sea with dark eyes, he remembered the dream from yesterday again.Chuan Lao Da Da Lou leaned against the canopy next to him, "What are you thinking, all the people in the boat depend on you to point the way, don't be lazy."

The person at the helm is a young man who is about the same age as Hai Xing. Hearing this, he laughed and interjected, "Boss, you should be more at ease. Fortunately, I am at the helm. It would be bad if Xiao Xingzi lost his mind at the helm. !"

Hearing what the two said, Hai Xing took advantage of the situation and said: "Since Little Moon thinks so, it really depends on you alone to steer the boat."

Hearing this, the boy named Little Moon was very dissatisfied, and his whole face wrinkled: "Little Xingzi, you are too bad! And don't call me Little Moon again in the future, and Tsunami Yue with a famous name."

At this time, everyone's work is almost done, and they waited for the place to cast their nets for fishing.

A group of people got together and started chatting freely. During the chatting, they actually mentioned sharks, and Hai Xing's heart moved.

"It is said that these sharks have an almost infinite lifespan. What's more frightening is that they also have a strong body and a fighting power that cannot match us humans. I don't know if it is true or not."

"Not only that, isn't there a legend that the mermaids are beautiful, no matter they are men or women, they are all first-class in appearance."

"In everyone's opinion, do sharks really exist in the sea?" Hai Xing couldn't help asking curiously.After yesterday's dream, he felt a little more inexplicable about the legends of those sharks, or he began to believe in those legends.

"There should be." Hai Xing's neighbor, Uncle Yu, said, his expression was nagging, and he deliberately lowered his voice, "I have a distant relative who works in Qian'an City. Last time we went to the city, we drank with him. After he was drunk, he said that he had seen a mermaid in the city lord's mansion, but it was just a mermaid corpse."

The fishermen on the boat all showed surprise when they heard this, but immediately expressed disbelief, "You said it too, you said it when you were drunk, how can you believe it when you're drunk. Old Yu, when did you start to believe this too?" .”

"Yeah yeah."

"It must have been drunk."

Others agreed one after another, and another topic started.

Uncle Yu saw that everyone was like this, so he wanted to argue a few words.

Hai Xing was very interested and said, "Then uncle, did your distant relative see the appearance of the mermaid clearly?"

When Uncle Yu saw that someone believed it, the chatterbox naturally opened up, "He only said that he was half-man, half-fish, and he didn't know the specific details. After all, he was just a guard in the city lord's mansion, so he saw it by accident. How could he know so clearly?" The young man's beautiful eyes were wide open, and Uncle Yu was a little proud, "But he also revealed something else to me, saying that there are rumors in the house that the mermaid has a rare treasure, and if he obtains it, he can live forever."

The mermaid has a rare treasure, and if he gets it, he can live forever.Hai Xing silently recited this sentence several times in his heart.
