Adventure of picking up a mermaid egg

After a few days of eating, eating and sleeping, Jing Hai's body finally recovered to the point where she could move normally.But waiting for him will be a period of adapting to the strange seabed life.

First of all, in terms of the most basic respiratory system, after coming to the bottom of the water, Jinghai found that her breathing was almost negligible.When he talked to Luo Hai in surprise, the other party explained with a smile that the respiratory system of mermaids is actually divided into two parts. The first part is the skin pores on the upper body. into the body, and then discharge the excess carbon dioxide through the capillary pores. Of course, this process is carried out imperceptibly, and it is generally difficult for people to notice. Because of this, the skin of mermaids is much more delicate and sensitive than that of humans; the second Part of it is the lungs, which have little effect underwater, and only need a small amount of breathing to maintain basic activities.But when the mermaids come to the ground, the role of the lungs will become secondary, becoming the main respiratory organs of the mermaids on land.

Jing Hai lowered his eyes, watching his chest rise and fall almost invisible, closed his eyes, and experienced the free breathing of his whole body skin as if alive in the water, this strange feeling made him feel very complicated.

In fact, it was a matter of language. When Luo Hai and Jing Hai appeared in front of the mermaid tribe for the first time, what greeted them was not the cheering and clapping that humans usually used, but the unique language and dance of the mermaid tribe.At that time, Jinghai could only hear the buzzing sound in his ears, and saw them gracefully dancing their beautiful slender tails. Although they were very beautiful, they couldn't understand what they were expressing excitedly at all, and could only smile blankly.

It felt like I was cut off from their door.

Listening to Luo Hai's explanation, since human beings are used to using the lungs to vibrate to produce sound, but mermaids seldom use the lungs at the bottom of the water, so they developed another combination of jaw vibration frequency and sound. language.Of course, the biggest feature and advantage of the mermaid language is that they can freely communicate with other creatures on the seabed.

For the superior innate skill of the mermaid race, Luo Hai is not without pride in words.Of course, in order to adapt to human life on land in the future, some elite mermaids will also learn human language and pronunciation.But that is only a minority of mermaids after all.

Therefore, when a handsome and lovely mermaid boy handed over a round pearl the size of a baby's fist as a gift to them with awe and admiration on his face, listening to him whispering excitedly with his cheeks bulging, Jinghai didn't The joy of receiving the gift is more of a feeling of wonder,

For his future life under the sea to be smoother and more satisfying, it is imperative to learn the language and customs of the mermaid tribe.

Then, Jinghai discovered that, in fact, most of the mermaids are destined to be of the same race, and only a very small number of mermaids will find destined people of other races.Therefore, his speech barrier situation is more serious.

For this reason, the lovely comrade Xiao Nian was once again sent by Luo Hai to act as Jing Hai's bodyguard and translator.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Nian's mermaid tail is a rare pure white, the fine white scales are particularly conspicuous and sacred in the dimly lit seabed.

Seeing Jing Hai staring at her own tail, Xiao Nian smiled wryly on her lovely round face: "Master Jing Hai, isn't Xiao Nian's fish tail ugly?"

Jing Hai quickly shook her head: "No, it's very pretty." Especially the white scales set off Xiao Nian's skin, which is even more tender and fair, making people want to take a bite.

The depression on Xiao Nian's face became more intense: "Xiao Nian thinks it's not good-looking at all. You saw their fish tails are blue, which is the best protective color at the bottom of the sea, but Xiao Nian's white fish tail On the contrary, it looks too conspicuous, so they usually don't allow Xiao Nian to go hunting with them, they say my tail is too easy for prey to find and escape early." Speaking of this, he drooped his head with a dejected look.

Jing Hai patted Xiao Nian's drooping head in a funny way, and comforted him: "Don't be too depressed, Xiao Nian, isn't there a saying on land that's born to be useful?"? If you can't hunt, there are always other places where you are better than other mermaids. , can also play its role.”

At this time, Xiao Nian raised his head suddenly, shaking the white fish tail excitedly: "Master Jinghai is too right. A smart and lovely mermaid like me will be chosen by the prince to be one of his personal guards. Xiao Nian's Stalking and spells are great."

Jinghai smiled: "Isn't that right? There are always times when you come in handy, and there will naturally be people who are good at those things that are beyond our capabilities. We only need to use our strengths. Just like now, I am very grateful that you have learned Human language, otherwise I would be here alone without anyone to talk to." After finishing speaking, Jinghai couldn't hide his loneliness.

"Master Jinghai..." Xiao Nian looked sympathetic, and was about to say something angrily, but was covered by a pair of big hands stretched out from behind, and could only stare blankly and whine.

"Master Jinghai, we have other tasks, please allow us to retire temporarily." The burly Ah Cheng locked the struggling Xiao Nian tightly in his arms, lowered his head and said respectfully, like catching a chicken.

"Well, you go." Jing Hai looked at the guard Ah Cheng who had been shadowing behind him with a smile, and felt that the interaction between the two mermaids was particularly interesting.

Before the expressions of the two of them completely disappeared, a warm body leaned up behind him, and a pair of big hands took away the mermaid book in Jinghai's hand, and rubbed his shoulders flatteringly: "Xiao Hai, reading books for too long is very tiring. Yes, let's take a break first. Has the child tormented you?"

Hearing the word "child", Jing Hai's shoulders tensed, and he turned away uncomfortably, "It's okay..." He came to the bottom of the sea suddenly, and he still needs to adapt to many places, such as the geographical environment, the customs and language of mermaids , the most important thing is to accept and adapt to the awkward reality of being pregnant and having children as a man.

Luo Hai, who saw Jing Hai's reaction in his eyes, understood it, ignored Jing Hai's slight struggle, tightly trapped him in his arms, and sighed in a low voice: "Xiao Hai, don't force yourself too much." These days, He watched his beloved holding a book every day, and asked Xiao Nian for basic pronunciation of mermaid language.Seeing his originally slender body appear even slimmer, he also felt very distressed watching from the sidelines.

Jing Hai's body became even stiffer, and she raised her head suddenly: "Reluctantly? I am forcing myself. Who put me in this situation where I have to force myself? Who brought me to the bottom of the sea without saying a word? Who made me I am pregnant with a child, so I have to stay at the bottom of the sea to conceive and give birth?!" With her shoulders trembling violently, Jing Hai looked excited.Reason told him that he was making trouble out of no reason, but he couldn't stop himself from pouring out all the restlessness and depression these days.

Every time he said a word, Luo Hai's face darkened a little, and in the end, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he raised his hand.Jing Hai closed her eyes, waiting for the expected slap.

Unexpectedly, Luo Hai just gently covered his thin face, with regret in his voice: "Xiao Hai~ I know that the child's matter is the result of my impulsiveness, and you have been wronged. I will kill you without your consent. It's also my fault to bring you to the bottom of the sea to live. But I can't take risks. A pregnant half-mermaid can only stay underwater to absorb enough energy to give birth safely. As long as you are safe and sound, even if you hate me, you can hate me... ..."

The gentle touch on the cheek made Jinghai find an outlet for the grievance and anxiety of many days, warm tears flowed out, and there was a kind of astringent taste in the rippling water.He couldn't help but raised his fist and beat the chest that was tightly hugging him: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault!" Pulling him into this strange underwater world for no reason, throwing him like a bolt from the blue bomb news, and then watching him suffer and worry alone, is he happy?

Since turning into a half-mermaid, Jing Hai's strength has grown a lot, so it's okay for him to punch Luo Hai's forehead once or twice, but his chest hurts even if it's too much.Luo Hai endured his dissatisfaction and venting, but hugged Jing Hai tightly, fearing that the action would be too violent and hurt the child, coaxing softly: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault..."

Just like this, coaxing and patting the crying Jinghai until his movements and sobbing gradually became smaller until he fell into a drowsy sleep...

*******

Every time he thinks back to that day, Jing Hai can't help moaning in annoyance.

I didn't expect that I, who was always so calm to the point of indifference, would lose my composure in front of Luo Hai, crying in his arms like a child... It's really embarrassing to throw it to the bottom of the sea...

Maybe it was really because of the accumulation of too many negative emotions during that time. I heard that the half-mermaid’s mood swings will also become very big after pregnancy, and there may be some reasons for it... The people who cried and punched that day really It's not like my usual self...

In a word, after venting the hysteria that night, Jinghai felt that the irritability that had been deposited in his heart had really decreased a lot.He knew that he was making trouble for no reason that night.

In fact, I have to bear half of the responsibility for the child's matter. After all, those people set a trap for me; that night, although Luo Hai acted a little while taking advantage of others, it was true that he saved himself... Later , he was pushed off the boat by Xie Luo, and he was the one who stood up and jumped down to save himself... Although he brought him to the bottom of the sea without his consent, it was also because of his special situation...

After thinking about it, it seems that I owe Luo Hai a little more...

Thinking of this, Jinghai was even more annoyed.

At this time, as if feeling Jinghai's annoyance in the lower abdomen, there was a wave of worry.

Unconsciously softening the corners of his mouth, Jing Hai gently covered his lower abdomen with his hand, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, don't worry."

This is his child...the only remaining relative in this world who is connected with his blood...

Although the way he came made me feel awkward, I couldn't get rid of the intimacy that blood is thicker than water.Although he rejected the abnormal physiological reality of pregnancy and childbirth in his heart, he never blamed this little guy connected by his blood...

Contradictory ideas, right?But he couldn't reject this little guy who occasionally expressed simple fluctuations in his belly...

Jinghai, with soft brows and eyes, doesn't know at all that he looks extraordinarily charming with his palms lightly covering his belly at this moment... especially in front of another child's father...

Luo Hai has always known that Jing Hai will not be the kind of cruel person who will not have children for the sake of his own face or awkwardness, and he also knows that Jing Hai, who has been suppressed for too long, needs to vent completely.

Swimming over silently, unexpectedly, Jinghai, who is sensitive, seemed to have glasses behind his back. He glanced sideways at Luo Hai, who was a little intimidated, and hummed a trill in his nose, but didn't speak.

Luo Hai cautiously approached, his hands gently wrapped around Jing Hai's thin waist, aiming at the acupuncture points and pressing them.I heard from experienced people in the clan that pregnant mermaids are particularly prone to backaches due to the compression of blood vessels by the fetus, and moderate massage will make them feel much more relaxed.

His shoulders stiffened in fear of tickle, and then he relaxed. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the tingling comfort brought by the guy's flexible fingertips. He felt the soreness gradually accumulated in his waist being rubbed away and disappeared, and he sighed unconsciously.

Luo Hai leaned close to Jing Hai's ear flatteringly: "Xiao Hai~ In the future, if you want to chat with someone, you can come to me. If you want to learn the mermaid language, I can teach you, and I can also tell you about the history and customs of our mermaid tribe. A while ago I I can't spare time for a while, and I've made you feel wronged..."

He opened his eyes and stared at the heads of both parties: "Don't make me look like a woman." Can't stand being wronged?Tsk!Said like a woman.

Luo Hai smiled lowly, and his low and deep vibrato floated in the water, causing Jing Hai's heart to tremble slightly, and he said, "How can you bother the great and busy mermaid prince? Resentment." Even though he said that, there was a lot of resentment in his tone.

Luo Hai finally suppressed his smile and burst out again: "Oh? Is my little Hai complaining that I neglected you?"

With a soft snort, Jinghai continued to be awkward: "How did you know that you heard me complaining?"

"Hehe... Maybe I got it wrong. However, I was busy with some important things last time. But I've finished my work, and I can spend time with you and the baby." Luo Hai put his big hand on Jing Hai's lower abdomen and rested it hands, the overlapping palms exchanged each other's warmth, and also exchanged bursts of warmth from the lower abdomen.

Jinghai breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. To be honest, in this unfamiliar place, the person he is most familiar with is Luo Hai.Although Xiao Nian was with her, there was always an unspeakable uneasiness in her heart.Luo Hai took the initiative to say that it would be best to accompany him to adapt.

Jing Hai frowned, is it because of the particularity of her body now that she always feels that her character has become weaker and more dependent on others than before.

No, for the sake of the child, he has to cheer up.

He quickly straightened his back, turned around and looked at Luo Hai indifferently: "Since you have boasted about Haikou, let's start. I have accumulated a lot of questions these days, waiting for someone to answer..."

Looking at the firm and optimistic light in Jingying's eyes, Luo Hai smiled.This is the Xiaohai he likes, tenacious, positive, trying to make himself better in the harsh environment... But he also likes the fragility and dependence that he occasionally reveals. In fact, he is more like Xiaohai who relies on himself a little more. Make him feel content.Of course, if Xiaohai knew what he was thinking now, he would definitely roll his eyes without hesitation.
