bride as a paranoid mermaid

After the bathing incident, Xia Shenlan couldn't look directly at the mermaid for a short time, and that kind of strange thought always lingered in her mind, which made Xia Shenlan very annoyed.

Fortunately, he is very busy every day, so he can temporarily forget about these things.

A great thinker said: "All the momentary enthusiasm will eventually be washed away by time."

Now the great thinker Xia Shenlan is fishing in the deserted Xiaowanhai.

The reason why Xiaowanhai is called Xiaowanhai is because there are many small bays in this sea area, the wind is strong, there are not many fish, and if you are not careful, you will be beaten by chickens and eggs, and you will lose money and people.

But Xia Shenlan is not afraid of this sea. There are few people here, so it is very suitable for him to cast a net in the sea.

It was just halfway through the afternoon, and the cabin was almost full.

Xia Shenlan was in a good mood, she plunged into the water, thinking that it would be enough to get another net of fish.

But when people are most relaxed, it is often the time when accidents are most likely to happen.

Xia Shenlan never dreamed that there would be a boat coming to this place suddenly, and he didn't hear the sound of the engine at all. He just had a face-to-face meeting with Luo Yingliang from the village when he got out of the water.

The two looked at each other, because Xia Shenlan's side neck, something like a gill, was opening and closing to absorb oxygen from the water.

"Uncle Ying Liang..." Xia Shenlan swallowed with difficulty, slowly covered the side of her neck with her hands, her mind was spinning quickly thinking of an excuse to deal with this matter.

Luo Yingliang recovered from the initial shock, and spoke a term that Xia Shenlan had never heard before: "You are Haizi?!"

Xia Shenlan was completely dumbfounded, "Haizi? What is that?"

"Don't be dazed, come up quickly. Didn't your grandpa tell you about the thing on your neck?"

Xia Shenlan climbed onto the boat with a dazed expression on her face. On the way, she thought carefully about what her grandfather had said to him before.

Grandpa never mentioned the word "Haizi". On the contrary, he often advised him to protect himself so that no one could discover the secret of his side neck.

Why, Uncle Ying Liang looked familiar with this?

Luo Yingliang took a towel and handed it to Xia Shenlan, "Wipe it first, the sea is windy, so don't catch a cold."

Xia Shenlan wiped it casually, but her attention was on another matter: "Uncle Ying Liang, you just said Haizi, what is that?"

"Hai Zi is just like you, with gills growing on his neck, and he can breathe freely underwater. Our Xiaoshi Village produces one or two Hai Zi almost every hundred years. However, there has been no such thing in the past hundred years. We thought it was a dragon. The prince was upset and didn't give us the village Haizi. It turned out that it was just because you didn't know about it."

Luo Yingliang patted his thigh bitterly, "Your grandpa is really serious, why didn't you tell you such a big thing?"

Xia Shenlan's expression collapsed when she heard others criticize her grandfather.

"Uncle Ying Liang, grandpa just wants me to grow up without being disturbed. He did this to protect me. If you have any unpleasantness, you can come to me, don't talk about my grandpa."

"Hey, Uncle doesn't mean that much, so I can't stop talking nonsense, don't take it to heart. But Haizi is a big deal, and it has something to do with the fortune of our entire village. Remember to go to the village chief after you go home today , he will tell you in detail about Haizi in our village."

Everything that should be exposed has been exposed, and it is useless to escape.

Xia Shenlan could only nod her head, "I will go to the village chief."

Is it related to the fortune of the whole village?How did Haizi get hooked with the fortune of a village?

Xia Shenlan understood that this probably wouldn't be a good thing, or Grandpa wouldn't have told him to keep it a secret.

If only he had been more cautious.

Who would have thought that people would suddenly come to Xiaowanhai, which has never been visited by anyone, and they would come here with sails and oars because the engine was broken.

The last net of fish was dragged up, and the cabin was almost full. Xia Shenlan packed up and prepared to go back, and had to go to the village to meet the village chief.

The village head is a little old man with gray temples but sparkling spirit. At first glance, his eyes are small, but if you look closely, his eyes are very shrewd.

"Village head." Xia Shenlan didn't bring up Haizi's matter immediately, and wanted to struggle.

But the village head blocked his words as soon as he opened his mouth: "Xiao Xia, you want to ask about Haizi, right? Ying Liang has already told me."

"……Yes."

"Come in with me, our village chronicle has records about Haizi, you will understand after reading it."

According to the records of village chronicles, Haizi appeared thousands of years ago, and the frequency is almost maintained at one or two per century.

Haizi is a blessing given to Xiaoshi Village by the Dragon King. Because of Haizi's special ability, he can help the village find fish and help the villagers get a better life.

Xia Shenlan put down the village log and asked tactfully, "Can I do something for the village?"

"Actually, in the past, our village organized trips to the sea together. Haizi would go with him and help the villagers find fish. But now, there are restrictions on policies and other aspects. We can organize two trips to the far sea at most. Every year you can Can you follow the villagers?"

"Village chief, you also know about Jiang Chenxing's situation. He can't live without others. If I follow him to the far sea...he may not be able to live a good life by himself."

"You can rest assured that Jiang Chenxing will settle down when we go out. But, then again, you are almost adults, you have to let him learn to take care of himself, you can't stay by his side forever."

Xia Shenlan wished she could stay by Jiang Chenxing's side for the rest of her life, but his life was about to come to an end soon...

"Jiang Chenxing's condition is not very good... The doctor said he has less than a year left, at least for this year, I want to stay by his side as much as possible..."

"Xiao Xia, don't think that uncle and I are unreasonable." The village chief shook his head and continued: "You and Jiang Chenxing were watched by the whole village and grew up. They have long been regarded as their own children, but there are some things. , I have to do it. You can go to the sea to find fish, I’m afraid you don’t know what’s going on at other people’s homes.”

The village chief paused, sighed, and said, "Nine out of ten people who go out fishing now come back empty-handed. It's just Brother Xiao Hai's house. He has no money, and his father said that he won't let Xiao Hai go to school next semester. In this case It's not a special case..."

Xia Shenlan lowered her eyelids. He really didn't know that the situation of the villagers was so difficult.

However, Jiang Chenxing only had less than a year left, and he went out to sea for at least half a month, and at most two or three months, so what would Jiang Chenxing do?

When he comes back, can he still see Jiang Chenxing sitting by the window waiting for him?

"The current situation is like this. If you don't help, some people in the village really can't survive..."

"Isn't Jiang Chenxing also a life? Village chief, you watched Jiang Chenxing grow up. You know that he is not in good health, and he hasn't been happy for so many years... If I leave, he won't be able to go anywhere. ...He only has less than a year left, I want to spend the last time with him well, can I?"

The village chief wiped his face helplessly, and shook his head after a while.

"Xiao Xia, I know that you grew up with Jiang Chenxing and have a deep relationship, but haven't the people in the village lived with you all the time?"

"Anyway, there must be a villain. Uncle, I can only be a villain once today. If you don't want to go to sea with me, uncle can only contact the news newspaper..."

"village head……!"

The village chief interrupted Xia Shenlan with a wave of his hand, "Stop talking, I've already made my decision. I'm the village chief, and I can't just take care of Jiang Chenxing alone. I have to be responsible for everyone's lives. There is still a period of fishing moratorium. , you just settle things at home, half a month later, when the fishing moratorium is over, we will set off."

Xia Shenlan lowered her head dejectedly. If the media knew about his secret, there would be no peace.

What more can he say.

The village chief sighed helplessly, "Go back, I will let you know in advance before going to sea."

This kind of thing is more exhausting than going out to sea for ten days in a row.

Xia Shenlan returned home with heavy steps, and the first time she saw Jiang Chenxing's pale face, those squeezed emotions rolled over, and her eyes flushed red all of a sudden.

Jiang Chenxing asked worriedly: "Xiao Xia, what's the matter? Did something happen?"

Xia Shenlan was not such a fragile person, but at this moment she just felt wronged.

He knelt down helplessly, covering his face and crying: "Jiang Chenxing...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Your life is about to come to an end, but I cannot accompany you through these last years...

Why can't we be more careful?

Why must this happen?

Jiang Chenxing carefully embraced Xia Shenlan, but Xia Shenlan was worried about his body, so she didn't dare to lean over him, he just hugged him vaguely.

This is more sad than crying itself.

Faced with such situations, Jiang Chenxing was always angry and powerless, a little speechless for a while, but silently accompanied Xia Shenlan, letting him vent to his heart's content.

After a while, it was Xia Shenlan who suppressed her tears and helped Jiang Chenxing to stand up.

"Don't squat for too long, it's not good for your health."

Taking care of Jiang Chenxing has become a part of his life, and even when he is emotionally broken, he has to devote part of his attention to Jiang Chenxing's body.

Jiang Chenxing would not be happy about this, he narrowed his brows and eyes slightly, suppressing the stormy waves roaring in his heart.

"What happened?" Jiang Chenxing's voice was still as gentle as water when he spoke, which made Xia Shenlan calm down a little.

"The secret of my side neck was discovered..."

"Have you been threatened?"

"It's sort of..." Xia Shenlan wiped away her tears, and told Jiang Chenxing the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"...The village chief used this incident to half-coerce me, forcing me to go out to sea with the village boat after the fishing moratorium is over."

"Are you worried about me?"

"Yes, it's possible to go to the far sea for at least half a month, and at most two or three months. I have never been separated from you for such a long time..."

"It really makes me sad," but in fact Jiang Chenxing's tone was not too heavy: "I was the only one who knew about it."

"what?"

The second half of the sentence was far from Xia Shenlan's imagination, and she couldn't even react for a while.

"Here." Jiang Chenxing lightly tapped Xia Shenlan's side neck with his fingers, "It was originally a secret that belonged to the two of us, but now it is known by many people, which makes me a little sad."

Jiang Chenxing's finger was a little cold, and when it fell on the warm skin, it was a little itchy, itching to the apex of his heart.
