Adventure of picking up a mermaid egg

Walking into the familiar room, Jinghai couldn't help but sigh a lot.

How many books have been placed on that desk that I read carefully, and how many cups of hot milk tea specially made by my grandmother have been placed.

How many nights beside the simple wooden bed, grandma came over anxiously to see if he was kicking the quilt, and how many times grandma worriedly tucked the quilt tightly...

Grandma once said that sleeping posture is like being a human being, you don't want to be rough and rough to make you feel cold, just want to be upright and stable, and give yourself a moderate amount of comfort.

When he was a child, he didn't quite understand why even sleeping has something to do with being a human being, but now he understands.No matter when, grandma hopes that he can live a good life and not hurt his body because of overindulging himself. This is her most sincere hope.

Grandma, how are you doing in heaven?You must have been happy with your parents a long time ago, right?

Open the simple closet, and some old clothes inside are neatly folded and put there. Many of them are saved by grandma to make new clothes for him, or to buy by herself. The cloth came back to be cut, and then embroidered with the embroidery patterns she was good at. These beautiful embroidery were envied and liked by the classmates, so when he was a child, he looked forward to the day when his grandmother would make him new clothes every day.

Tracing the embroidery patterns on the clothes with fingers nostalgic, Jinghai fell into nostalgia.Suddenly, under the fingertips, I felt an unusual hard touch under the clothes.

what is that?

Jing Hai curiously flipped through the pile of old clothes, and found a palm-sized golden conch lying on the bottom. The conch was tightly bound by a Taoist symbol tied with a red string. thin paper.

He hurriedly picked up the familiar golden conch with one hand, and felt a slight warm current coming from the conch. When he realized it, the feeling was only fleeting, as if it was just his illusion.

"Huh? What is this?" He Minxu, who was looking around, also noticed Jinghai's strange silence, and looked over curiously.

Jinghai spread out the letter paper that was folded squarely, and suddenly found that it was the font that grandma was familiar with.

"Xiao Hai, I don't know when you will find this conch shell and this letter. But first, grandma must say that grandma loves you..."

Looking at the familiar font and the sincere words of grandma, Jinghai couldn't help but get red eyes. This is a sentence that grandma used to say most often when she was a child.She always said that her love for him was too much and too strong, and she needed to say it once a day to express one ten-thousandth of it.When he was a child, every time he heard his grandmother say this sentence, he always felt the warmth of being loved.It was just that after he expressed strong rejection of the particularly sensitive word love in his teens and adolescence, his grandmother never put this word on his lips again.

So after so many years, when he saw the familiar words again, Jing Hai still couldn't help but burst into tears.Only now did he deeply realize how much he missed that short and warm sentence: Grandma loves you...

"This conch was found on a stormy night when you were nine years old. After you disappeared for a whole night, everyone found you in a corner of the beach. When I found you intact, I thanked God from the bottom of my heart I sent you back to me safely. This conch was just held in the palm of your hand. I don’t know what happened to you that night. In fact, you forgot everything that happened that night. Grandma just asks You have nothing to ask for when you come back safely..."

Jing Hai thought for a while, and a vague memory flashed in his mind, as if there was such a thing.

"However, grandma discovered that you would always have restless sleep at night, and even start to experience sleepwalking symptoms, and every time you wake up the next day, you will always lie in a different place with your hands Li will always hold the golden conch tightly, no matter how well grandma hid it beforehand. Seeing you like this, grandma was very worried, and asked relevant people in many ways. Everyone agreed that this conch had evil spirits, so grandma went to A Taoist monastery that is said to be very spiritual prayed for a talisman on it. Since then, you have not experienced sleepwalking symptoms. Maybe you can say that grandma is superstitious, but as long as you grow up safely, Grandma is very relieved. When you grow up one day and see this letter, grandma will respect your decision whether to accept this talisman. Remember, no matter what, grandma hopes that you will live a good life Yes. ^_^ I love your grandma the most"

Seeing this, Jinghai's tears finally couldn't help falling down.

He Minxu didn't say anything this time, but patted Jinghai on the shoulder, leaving him a space to cry quietly and vent.

****

Just when Jinghai was crying uncontrollably, a crystal drop of tears happened to fall on the golden conch.

The next moment, the golden conch suddenly emitted a strong golden light, and the dazzling light made Jinghai couldn't help closing his eyes. Scenes of long-lost scenes were slowly circling in Jinghai's mind like an opened music box.

From the first time he picked up that miraculous egg, from the careful precautions at the beginning, to the last mutual acquaintance, and that miraculous night under the sea, it turned out that there was a precious memory in a corner of his mind. He has always been forgotten by him...I didn't expect the world under the sea to be so beautiful and mysterious. There really are such magical creatures as mermaids in the world...The little mermaid he called Xiaolan must have lived there in the beautiful and pure world. Live in the sea and swim freely...

One day, if you have time, go to the harbor and rent a fishing boat to see if the mysterious sea rock cave is still there...

For Jing Hai at that time, the magical little mermaid was just a novel and beautiful encounter experience in his childhood. Now he has never estimated how important the little mermaid will play in his future life. character of.

After the strong light passed, Jinghai opened his eyes, with nostalgia and guilt shining in his eyes. He remembered that he had promised Xiaolan that he would always remember him, but he never thought that he would forget all these memories as soon as he returned to the shore. .

Look at the conch lying in his hand again, the tao talisman bound by the tightly bound red thread has long since disappeared into a wisp of green smoke under the strong light just now, and the conch that was originally bleak has become lustrous Bright and dazzling, as if breaking through years of confinement at once...

"Haizi, what happened? I heard your cry from outside just now." He Minxu's hurried footsteps sounded in a hurry, and the door was pushed open by him with a snap.

Jing Hai was stunned, and tightened his hand holding the conch. He smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it's getting late. Let's go back."

The sharp-eyed He Minxu naturally noticed the obvious change in the conch, but since Jinghai didn't intend to say anything more, he didn't ask anything, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go. Can we buy some more specialties when we pass the market just now?" Spicy shredded squid, the taste is really enjoyable..."

The smile in Jinghai's eyes became stronger: "Okay, for the sake of your appreciation of our specialties, I will go to the seafood market to buy some fresh seafood later, and secretly give you seafood delicacies when I go back... "Who asked him to do odd jobs in the kitchen, so it's not too much to borrow the kitchen, right?

"Really? You keep your word, let's go!" He Minxu, who had tasted Jinghai's cooking skills, was almost drooling, urging Jinghai to move faster.

The door was closed again with a creak, and the rusty door lock was locked again. Jinghai took a deep look at the old house with a deep courtyard: Farewell, my hometown...he will come back again...

As early as the moment when the conch shone with golden light, someone far away on the cruise ship looked towards a certain direction on the shore as if he had sensed it. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile that was both excited and expectant, and he murmured softly: "Finally remembered Is it..." For their next meeting, he was looking forward to it...

Gently shaking the crystal liquid in the glass, he took a sip, savoring the taste carefully, as if he was savoring someone's wonderful delicious taste...
