bride as a paranoid mermaid

On some days, the sea was extremely turbulent.

It wasn't because of the wind, but a certain kind of shock from the depths of the sea, which was accompanied by calm and menacing waves in the nearby sea area.

It was under such weird circumstances that Grandpa disappeared.

According to other fishermen who also went out to sea that day, there was a sudden huge wave in the sea at that time. Grandpa couldn't stand still and was dragged into the sea by a big fish.

Xia Shenlan didn't believe this argument. Grandpa had lived by the sea for decades, and had returned safely in storms several times. How could he die in the sea so easily.So he goes to sea every day, leaving early and returning late, looking for clues related to his grandfather.

Thirteen days in a row, nothing came of it.

As the possibility of grandpa's survival getting smaller and smaller, Xia Shenlan became more and more depressed, lying in the boat and following the waves.

He is an orphan picked up by his grandfather. It can be said that without his grandfather, Xia Shenlan would not be what he is now. He couldn't bear his grandfather's disappearance for no apparent reason.

Xia Shenlan slowly opened her eyes, took a long breath of relief, cheered herself up and jumped into the sea again.

Thanks to the gills that don't belong to humans growing on the side of his neck, otherwise he really couldn't complete such a difficult search task.

Half a day passed and nothing was found.

Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, Xia Shenlan couldn't help being disappointed when this happened.

But the sky had turned dark, and he had to prepare to leave.

Xia Shenlan turned around and began to swim back. Suddenly, he noticed that the sea water in front of him seemed to be mixed with dark red blood lines.

This discovery lifted his spirits, and he quickly swam in the direction of the blood line.

The best situation is of course that the source of the blood line is grandpa. Of course, Xia Shenlan also knows that the biggest possibility is that a certain animal was injured.

But he didn't expect at all: the blood line was washed out from a golden mermaid!

The mermaid is three meters long, its hands and tail are covered with glowing golden scales, its long golden hair is messily floating, and its tail fin of more than seventy centimeters floats lightly with the sea water like a piece of golden yarn.

At that moment, Xia Shenlan thought of the word "crush" in English. It was not love at first sight, nor was it a simple shock, but a combination of two complex feelings, which made his breathing stop suddenly.

He must be saved, Xia Shenlan thought.

The mermaid's body was covered with scars all over the place, and was washed by the sea water and bled profusely. If he was not treated, he would definitely die.

Xia Shenlan planned to carry the mermaid back to his boat.

Just when he was about to meet the mermaid, the mermaid opened his eyes suddenly. The dark golden pupils gave people a feeling of darkness and bottomless, wild and aggressive, which made Xia Shenlan's movements froze suddenly .

I don't know if it was Xia Shenlan's illusion, he seemed to see the mermaid's arm raised, but after the other party looked at him twice, the arm was lowered, and the dark and heavy part of the eyes faded away, it seemed that the mermaid had lost focus, Then slowly closed his eyes.

Xia Shenlan tentatively poked the mermaid, but there was no response. She must have really passed out this time.

He dragged the mermaid back to the side of the boat, and it took a lot of effort to get the mermaid up.

The boat was humming, but Xia Shenlan almost fell asleep. In a daze, he remembered that his grandfather often talked about mermaids with him.

The mermaids that grandpa said are cunning and ruthless. They have a strong desire to control and possess, they must repay every kind, and they are good at learning and imitating. They are the top predators in the sea.

There is no creature that does not fall in love with their unparalleled beauty, but there is no creature that can shake their hearts as dark and cold as the sea.

"You have to remember, never try to trust the mermaid."

Xia Shenlan wanted to ask her grandfather why, but suddenly woke up.

Xia Shenlan sat up, only to realize that he had already arrived home.

His home was far away from the village and built on a reef, which greatly facilitated the concealment of the existence of the mermaid.

Xia Shenlan wrapped the mermaid in a sheet, dragged and hugged it, and it took a lot of effort to get the mermaid home.

The lights in the room were on, and Xia Shenlan guessed that Jiang Chenxing might be waiting for him inside, maybe he was already asleep, so she lightened her movements, put the mermaid at the door, and opened the door to take a look.

Jiang Chenxing curled up on the chair by the window, covered with a blanket, and really fell asleep.

Jiang Chenxing had congenital heart disease, and was born prematurely at seven months. His body was too weak to support a heart replacement operation, so his father sent him to a beautiful fishing village to recuperate, and he lived in Xia Shenlan's house since he was a child.Xia Shenlan loves this younger brother who is in poor health very much.

Xia Shenlan carefully picked up Jiang Chenxing, trying to put him on the bed to sleep.

Before reaching the bed, Jiang Chenxing opened his eyes.

"Did I wake you up?" Xia Shenlan asked softly.

"No." Jiang Chenxing closed his eyes again, "I'm a light sleeper, why did you come back so late?"

"I went to the sea to look for clues to Grandpa, and I accidentally found one..." Xia Shenlan paused for a moment, thinking that if the word mermaid was said, Jiang Chenxing might not be able to sleep tonight, so she changed the phrase: " It’s a beautiful thing, I’ll show it to you tomorrow, go to bed first.”

"Okay..." Jiang Chenxing's voice gradually became lower, and he seemed to have fallen asleep again.

Xia Shenlan breathed a sigh of relief, sent him back to the room, tucked in the quilt, and then slowly withdrew. Without resting for a moment, she went outside and brought the mermaid into the room.

The mermaid was seriously injured, a lot of fish scales fell off, and her exposed upper body was covered with scars in all directions.

Judging from the large area of ​​burn wounds, he should have been attacked by humans.

Xia Shenlan carefully bandaged the wound for him, using waterproof bandages. After the wound is treated, it can be directly put back into the fish tank.

After doing all this, Xia Shenlan was exhausted enough, she fell on the bed and fell asleep.

A night without dreams.

Early the next morning, Xia Shenlan was woken up by the biological clock. It was only past seven o'clock, but the seaside was already lit up early, and now the sky is already bright.

He closed his eyes for a while, waited until his eyes were not so dry, got up from the bed, and opened the door softly.

In the living room, the mermaid woke up at some point, and when she heard the sound, she immediately turned her head and looked in Xia Shenlan's direction.

Those golden eyes, like shining gems and dazzling sun, seem to be imprinted in no one's image.

Xia Shenlan was stunned for a moment, then lowered her voice and asked, "Are you awake? How do you feel?"

The mermaid just looked at him without speaking.

"Are you unable to speak, or do you not understand what I say?"

Xia Shenlan walked to the fish tank, and the mermaid's eyes followed his movements all the time, her head swayed in a small arc, her golden hair swayed away, her eyes were pure and ignorant.

"It seems that I don't understand..."

Xia Shenlan could only tentatively make gestures and said: "This is my home. I went out to sea yesterday and saw you injured and unconscious, so I brought you back. I have already treated your wound. After a while, you should It will be fine, and when you want to leave, I will not stop you."

I don't know if the mermaid understood, but her eyes were always covered with a layer of mist, and she looked in Xia Shenlan's direction ignorantly.

"All in all, I won't hurt you. You can recuperate here with peace of mind. Let me get you something to eat first."

The kitchen at home is stocked with fish all year round, Xia Shenlan brought out a whole basin of fish, "Eat it, I don't know how much you can eat, if it's not enough, I'll get it for you."

The mermaid glanced at Xia Shenlan, then at the fish.

Xia Shenlan carried the basin to the fish tank, seeing that the mermaid still had no intention of doing anything, she just poured all the fish into the fish tank.

Anyway, it's time for him to clean the fish tank. Just cleaning like this is cleaning, and the mermaid making the fish tank more dirty is also cleaning.

The mermaid grabbed the fish and ate it with its back to Xia Shenlan.

Xia Shenlan didn't have any obsession with how people ate, so she went back to the kitchen with an empty basin, cooked porridge first, then went to the bathroom to wash up, and took a bath by the way.

It only took about ten minutes, Xia Shenlan came out wiping her hair, and stopped by the fish tank to take a look.

The mermaid had finished eating the fish he had just poured in, and the water in the fish tank became more cloudy.

"Are you full? Do you want to eat?"

Still not getting an answer, Xia Shenlan was not discouraged, she caught a fish and said to the mermaid, "Nod if you want it, shake your head if you don't want it."

The mermaid looked at Xia Shenlan with pure golden eyes without impurities, as if she didn't understand, or as if she had heard it but didn't take it to heart.

Xia Shenlan put down the fish for the time being, and took out two toffees from the cabinet next to her, "Nod to eat." After that, he nodded and stuffed the toffees into his mouth.

Before he could demonstrate what shaking his head meant, the mermaid nodded suddenly, and his eyes fell on another toffee with interest.

"Do you want to eat this?" Xia Shenlan raised the toffee in her hand and said to herself: "Can mermaids eat human things?"

The mermaid didn't have so many scruples, she supported the edge of the fish tank with both hands, and jumped out of the water with her upper body to bite the toffee in Xia Shenlan's hand.

Xia Shenlan's heart stopped suddenly, and she had no time to dodge.

He looked at the gleaming jagged teeth of the mermaid, and there was only one sentence in his mind: My life is over.

The mermaid bit the toffee and went back into the water. I don't know why he flicked it twice in his mouth, so he easily spit out the candy wrapper.

The eyes of the mermaid who tasted the fragrance of milk for the first time brightened, and the golden color in the eyes looked a little lighter than before, more like a pure glass bead.

Only then did Xia Shenlan realize belatedly that the mermaid had precisely bit off the toffee from his hand with its teeth just now, without hurting his hand at all.

His knuckles even had the cool temperature of the mermaid's lips.

It's so fucking exciting!

Xia Shenlan touched her beating heart in a daze, and said in her heart that she must keep Jiang Chenxing away from the mermaid in the future, or Jiang Chenxing's small body would be scared away by the mermaid.

After the mermaid finished eating the toffee, she looked at Xia Shenlan with great interest, expressing an obvious intention to eat it again.

Xia Shenlan took two toffees again, "I don't know if this thing will affect your body, so eat less first, and wait until tomorrow to see."

He skillfully peeled off the candy wrapper and handed it to the fish.
