Shangbieyun slowly opened his eyes.

There is rough sea sand under the face, which is painful to the skin.He sat up and patted off the gravel sticking to his face, the waves suddenly surged up and pushed him behind his back.

Shangbieyun stood up.There is a shallow tidal flat in front of me, several dilapidated fishing boats capsized on the shore, surrounded by some mangroves, and farther away, there are sporadic candle lights of human residences, flickering generously, emitting With a warm radiance never seen in the world of the deep sea.

Shangbieyun's ribs undulated gently, adapting to the salty sea air on the shore.His pupils are larger and brighter than those of ordinary human beings, and at this time the few lights in the distance are reflected in them.

He stood there hesitating for a moment, then took a step in the direction of the lights.

"what!"

Before he had gone far, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground beside him, accompanied by a scream.

Shang Bieyun immediately turned his head, facing the direction of the sound, crouched down low, and let out a low warning growl in his throat.

The man was completely terrified, and there was a subdued cry in his voice: "You, why don't you wear clothes?"

Shang Bieyun tilted his head slightly, recognizing his voice.That voice was very cowardly, and it didn't seem like it could pose a threat to him.

He cleared his throat, knowing in his heart that this would be the first sentence he spoke in the language of the human race, and his tone was a bit jerky and weird: "Clothes...no."

Hearing his answer, the man seemed to let go of his guard a little bit, and walked out from the shadow of the mangrove.The moonlight shone on his face, reflecting his clear face with a smooth texture like shellfish, but there were still a little tears in his eyes, which seemed to be shining slightly under the moonlight.He glanced at Shangbieyun timidly, his face flushed, and he turned his head away: "You come to the beach in the middle of the night, you haven't put on clothes, you will be frozen to death soon."

Shangbieyun stood there indifferently, watching him quietly.

He couldn't hear Shangbieyun's answer, so he turned his head back.Seeing the disapproving expression on Shangbieyun's face, he seemed to have misunderstood something. He pinched the corner of his clothes and hesitated for a long time. When Shangbieyun lost his patience and wanted to turn around and leave, he Only then did he finally make up his mind, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be...you are from Shen too?"

Sink?Shang Bieyun frowned.All the sentences he knew were overheard from fishermen's boats. He had never heard the word before, so he didn't know what it meant.

There was a big stone at the man's feet, and the moss on the stone was found from the mangrove forest.Just now he was startled by Shangbieyun, and the stone fell to the ground. At this moment, he bent down again and hugged the stone in his arms: "It should be. Otherwise, who would come to the beach in the middle of the night. But You'd better find a big rock to hug like me, otherwise I heard that people can't sink low, and then they will float up and become ugly."

His body was very delicate, and the stone almost knocked him to the ground and he couldn't stand up straight.Holding the stone, he walked into the waves that were not as deep as his calf, staggering, as if he was about to fall at any time.He seems to be talking to Shang Bieyun, and he seems to be talking to himself: "Will you die faster if you take off all your clothes? Will it be colder? But if you take off all your clothes, there will be small fish and shrimps." Peck my flesh, or forget it."

die.Fishermen at sea often say that Shangbieyun understands.

The man had already reached the waist-deep position of the sea water. People cannot breathe in the sea. Shang Bieyun didn't have time to think about it. When he realized it, he had already come to the man's side and grabbed his weak body. wrist.

The man exclaimed, and the stone in his arms fell down again, submerged in the sea water.His eyes were red, and he stared blankly at Shang Bieyun.

"Twice as big." Shang Bieyun let go of his hand, and gesticulated in front of him: "You will...be twice as big as you are now."

"It will stink, and the smell will travel far away. Small fish, shrimps, sea snakes, and sharks will all come to peck your flesh." The meaning he wanted to say was a bit complicated, and Shang Bieyun couldn't explain it well, frowning in distress, and the last He patted his head: "It's better here than in the sea. Really, I know." He smiled, revealing a row of shellfish-like teeth.

The man stared at him blankly, and after a while, a tear fell straight down from his eye socket without warning.

"My name is Wei Lan, what's your name?" He murmured.

Shangbieyun's long tail emerged from the sea water, and the tip of the tail scratched his head: "The name? I haven't figured it out yet."

Wei Lan glanced at the tail, and suddenly showed an expression as if he had been struck by lightning. He unconsciously wanted to take a few steps back, but rolled his eyes and passed out straight away.

The moon cast a complete shadow on the sea, and Shang Bieyun held Wei Lan's collar with one hand to prevent him from falling into the sea.Looking at Wei Lan's comatose face, he felt a little headache after he realized it.

The picture is permanently frozen here.And more pictures fell from the dark sky like snowflakes.Shangbieyun is under the sky, a puppet that has lost its soul, and snowflake-like images are falling down one by one, melting into his wide open eyes.

The sky was bright, and the two of them hid in the mangrove forest. Wei Lan leaned against the tree trunk, trembling, listening to Shang Bieyun saying that he was a special race from the deep sea.

Another night, Wei Lan sneaked into a fisherman's yard with Shang Bieyun behind him, and walked away with a piece of clothes hanging out to dry.It was Wei Lan's first time to steal something, and he was so afraid that he trembled all over, but Shang Bieyun was an old god, because he didn't know what stealing meant.Finally, Wei Lan saw Shangbieyun coming out from behind the tree in clothes that were obviously too short, and couldn't help laughing.

Wei Lan never mentioned again why he came to the beach alone that night and wanted to sink himself, and Shang Bieyun had no destination in the first place.The two simply became partners and left the beach.

Not being called by name is always inconvenient.Shang Bieyun thought of several names for himself, Yuwang, Axie, and Hai, all of which were rejected by Wei Lan one by one.He held the book to study for several days, and one day he suddenly found it excitedly. "Shen Yun is far away from Pu, and the green shirt is on the dust. When we meet each other, why should we say goodbye?" How about your name, Shang Bieyun?he asked.

In this way, Shangbieyun and Wei Lan gradually walked through many cities along the coastline.Wei Lan taught Shang Bieyun little by little the rules of the human world.Sometimes Shangbieyun would dive back into the deep sea, and according to what Wei Lan said, he would bring back large pieces of coral and pearls.The two live freely and unrestrainedly according to this, teahouses, theaters, sideshows, and restaurants.The world of the human race is so wonderful and graceful, Shang Bieyun lingers and forgets to return.

The speed of the snowflakes falling suddenly increased.A picture fell into Shangbieyun's eyes, and he blinked suddenly, and the picture turned into water, which slid down from the corner of Shangbieyun's eyes like tears.

Everything changed quietly that day.

The two entered a small town together. Wei Lan originally pulled Shang Bieyun, talking excitedly, glanced inadvertently, and suddenly saw the notice posted on the city wall.His expression suddenly turned aside, and he hurriedly dragged Shangbieyun into the city.Shang Bieyun didn't know, so he glanced in a hurry, and the person painted on the notice looked a lot like Wei Lan.

With her head down, Wei Lan dragged Shang Bieyun along the street, looking for a place to stay.Shang Bieyun felt strange, before he had time to ask something, suddenly a dozen people rushed out on the street, pointing at Wei Lan and yelling, shouting something.Wei Lan's face was pale, and he grabbed Shangbieyun and ran away, but they were outnumbered, and the two were finally blocked in the alley.

Shang Bieyun is still underage and has no domain to use. With the brute force of the mermaid, he injured four or five people, and his body is already covered with scars.With red eyes, he held Wei Lan behind him, panting violently, blood dripping from his fingers.Wei Lan was behind him, and gently tugged at his sleeve: "Forget it, I'll go with them. Don't worry, they are my family members. I will come back to you in a few days."

Will the family members of the human race be so tense?Shang Bieyun can't figure it out.Wei Lan insisted on his attitude, so he had no choice but to let Wei Lan go, watching him leave with those "family members".

Wei Lan came back again, five or six days later.

At that time, Shangbieyun had been waiting impatiently, and almost wanted to follow Wei Lan's smell several times to find him, but Wei Lan suddenly appeared in the room of Shangbieyun's inn with Shangbieyun's favorite Lihuabai. doorway.

He was even thinner, his face had no color, and he was carrying a wine jar, which made people worry that he would break his wrist.It's just that he was in good spirits, and he confessed to Shang Bieyun with a smile, saying that he came back late, and he had to punish himself for a few drinks first.

Shang Bieyun took the wine jar from his hand, touched the skin of his wrist, it was astonishingly hot.

The two drank and chatted tacitly. After drinking half a round, they didn't say anything.

Wei Lan turned the wine glass in his hand. He knew that Shang Bieyun couldn't drink well, so he was a little drunk at this time.He opened his mouth softly: "My mother is very beautiful."

Shangbieyun was in a daze, making an indistinct sound from his throat.

Wei Lan looked at him slumped on the table and smiled, and swallowed the wine in the glass, tears streaming down her eyes: "She is like you, she left home boldly when she was very young, I ran outside secretly, met my father by chance, and wanted to marry him wholeheartedly."

"It's just that she has a secret in her body, and she dare not let my father know. She is worried that if my father finds out, he will be frightened and won't want her anymore. She has suffered a lot in order to keep this secret. After suffering a lot, she couldn't even go back home, but she was willing because she finally married my father as she wished."

Wei Lan smiled, her eyes were full of sarcasm: "Although she is only a concubine, and she has only been favored for a few years. She is a bit impatient and doesn't know how to be gentle and gentle. Although she is beautiful, men always try to make a fool of her." It’s fresh, and a skinny horse that can sing is carried through the door, and it has a big belly as soon as it enters the door.”

"Because of that secret, my mother has always been cautious and did not dare to conceive, but when she saw the pregnant woman being so favored, she thought that she fell out of favor because she had no children, so she gave birth to me with all her might."

Shangbieyun seemed to be completely asleep.Wei Lan gently tore open her skirt, and under her ribs, there were two rows of strangely shaped ribs, half closed and half open crookedly.

"Unexpectedly, a monster was born." Wei Lan laughed again: "My father was terrified now. He didn't dare to drive my mother and me out of the house, for fear of ruining the family's reputation. He tied us to the firewood In the house, she was raised like a dog. My mother felt that all of this was my fault, that I failed to live up to expectations and grew into a monster, which caused her harm. I was cursed and kicked by her every day in the woodshed When I grew up, when I was 12 years old, my father suddenly realized that I really wanted to inherit my mother’s face. I hadn’t seen him a few times, the first time we met, he asked me gently, if I want to come out, just listen to him , he will give me delicious food."

"If you can leave that lunatic mother, let me do whatever you want. I ignored my mother's curse and nodded crazily. He brought me out, washed me clean, wrapped a cloth strip around my upper body, and told me No matter what, I can’t let others see the ghost between my ribs. He asked someone to teach me for a few years, so that I can read and understand some etiquette.”

"Then one day, father brought a guest and asked me to accompany him. I was so happy, father never let me see anyone. I went to the guest room, but father was not there, only the guest..."

Wei Lan's voice stopped here and did not continue.

Shangbieyun woke up suddenly, muttering, asking for water.

Wei Lan poured a glass of water and handed it to Shang Bieyun's lips, watching Shang Bieyun drink the water, he suddenly smiled and asked: "Bieyun, have you ever thought about living here for a long time on the shore? "

Shang Bieyun drank water, sobered up a little, heard the words without hesitation: "No, I was just playing around for a few years, but I dare not forget the business."

The light in Wei Lan's eyes flickered: "Oh yes, you said that you carry the blood of the king of your clan."

Shang Bieyun scratched his head irritably: "It's really annoying, you don't know, there is nothing in the sea, it's very boring, if only I were an ordinary person, I don't have to worry about these things, I can live as I want."

Wei Lan suddenly put his elbows on the table, and joked with a smile: "In this case, why don't you marry a wife here, have a child, and settle down completely. In this way, I can still drink with you from time to time. "

But Shang Bieyun suddenly laughed: "Haha, what are you talking about, you, how can I be with a girl from the human race? It's like you are a human, would you marry a crab? What will you give birth to? A little crab man? "

Wei Lan froze suddenly, smiled for a while, lowered his head and took a sip of wine: "Yes, yes."

Shang Bieyun felt that something was wrong with his face, and reached out to touch his face: "What's wrong with you, do you have a fever?"

Wei Lan avoided his hand: "It's okay, it will be fine in a while." He handed Shangbieyun another glass of wine, and said with a smile, "Come, drink your wine."

Shang Bieyun took the wine glass in his hand, raised his head and swallowed it.
