Chapter 80 Merman Nameless Island.
"Doctor He, I don't know our companions..." Lin Mian had just asked about the whereabouts of Jing Rong and the others, when a familiar voice sounded: "Mr. Wu Da..."
Lin Mian looked back and saw that it was Brother Jing Rong and Jing Xing, followed by two sharks, one with gauze on his forehead and a bandage on the other arm.
"We just went out to familiarize ourselves with the environment on the island." Jing Xing was a little agitated, Jing Rong was serious, but his attitude towards Wu Ting was still as respectful as before.
When the merman left the sea, his appearance also changed greatly. The exposed scales and gills faded away, turning into a wheat-colored smooth skin. The most important thing is that the fish tail below the waist became two straight long legs. It looks like a human being, but taller and more handsome.
Leaving aside the female mermaids, at least the male mermaids look a bit like little mermaids...
Assistant Lin expressed his satisfaction.
He Minghan's face changed slightly after hearing Jing Xing's words: "You probably don't know that these two days are the period of high incidence of hurricanes. Not only at night, but also during the day, there will be hurricanes sweeping along the coast at any time, so if nothing happens, everyone is still in the residential area Activities inside are relatively safe.”
As the only monster clan in Taize, the mermaids have of course seen hurricanes. To them, only weak humans are afraid of hurricanes. The powerful mermaids can ride the wind and waves, so they don't take He Minghan's advice. Take it to heart.
At this time, some islanders came to ask He Minghan to go out for a doctor in a panic. The latter took the medicine box, let Lin Mian and the others take care of themselves, and followed him away.
The servant went to the second floor to clean, and He Xiaoqi went to play somewhere else, and there were only outsiders like them in the living room, Jing Xing finally couldn't help it and said: "Master Wu, my brother and I's demon power has been suppressed by half. "
Monster power is an important symbol that distinguishes monsters from humans, and monsters that have completely lost their monster power are just like ordinary people, that's why Jing Xing is so anxious.
"Well, me too." Wu Ting sat on the chair, and tapped the armrest carelessly with his slender fingers.
Seeing his indifference and indifference, the Shark Brothers couldn't figure out what the number one demon from all over the world was thinking for a moment. They looked at each other, and both fell silent. It was Lin Mian who broke the deadlock: "I just heard from you that you went to the island to familiarize yourself with the environment. Did you gain anything?"
Jing Xing scratched his chin: "All the residents on this island are survivors of shipwrecks, some because of the wreck of a cruise ship, some because of bad weather while fishing, and one of the most outrageous, challenging ultra-long-distance wild swimming, As a result, I was exhausted halfway and passed out, and after waking up, I appeared on the beach on the shore."
This situation is similar to what He Minghan said, and Jing Xing continued: "The longest of these islanders has been here for ten years, and He Minghan's family is one of them, and the few are almost a year. At that time, many people thought about leaving this deserted island, but they all failed."
"Failed?" Lin Mian asked He Minghan a similar question before, but was interrupted by a passing islander and couldn't hear the answer.
Jing Xing nodded: "The isolated island is surrounded by the sea. Although the sea is calm now, it is said that there is an extremely dense hurricane nest at the end that cannot be seen. Once ships approach, they will be rolled into pieces, let alone human beings with flesh and blood .”
The essence of a hurricane is actually a tropical cyclone that appears on the sea. This kind of weather phenomenon will appear when the sea surface temperature and humidity are high. Understand the scope, probably a large meat grinder with countless saw teeth?
"We plan to go and have a look tonight." Jing Rong said in a deep voice, the strength of the mermaid's body is far from that of a human being's. Humans can't get close to the hurricane nest, which doesn't mean they can't either, but once the mermaid enters the water, his legs will regain Turn into fishtails, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they will not act during the day.
Lin Mian couldn't help but glance at him, the eldest son of the Old Shark King didn't talk much, but he acted more decisively and dangerously than his younger brother.
Jing Xing's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and only took a deep look at his brother.
There was a noise from the stairs. It was the servants of He Minghan's family who came down. They stopped talking at the same time. Lin Mian looked at the old woman in front of him, and remembered that He Minghan said that he was with his wife and son ten years ago. There was also the shipwreck that my sister encountered together. Could it be that the family was still accompanied by servants at that time?
Probably because the curiosity on his face was too obvious, the old woman stroked her gray hair: "Doctor He is a good man, he has saved many lives on the island, and I took the initiative to serve their family to repay him of."
The old woman spoke very slowly, word by word, her lips trembling slightly, and her expression could even be called pious.
"Healing the wounded and saving lives is the bounden duty of a doctor. You are exaggerating." Seeing her appearance, Lin Mian smiled indifferently.
"No, no, you don't understand, Dr. He can cure any disease, even if you die, he can save you from death, how can those quack doctors outside compare with him..." The old woman stared angrily He glanced at it, then went out chattering with the dustpan.
"What do you know about Doctor He?" Wu Ting asked suddenly.
Jing Xing shook his head: "I don't know much, I just know that he is the only doctor on the island. Later we heard from the islanders that He Minghan had brought two strangers home, so we guessed that they might be the lord and Assistant Lin, so we hurried away Come here, not enough time."
As soon as the words were finished, suona, gongs, drums and people's laughter and laughter could be heard faintly outside the house. Everyone was taken aback. Jing Xing's subordinate—the shark with gauze wrapped around his head—run out to have a look, and came back to tell everyone : "It seems that someone is getting married."
marry?
Lin Mian was stunned, and then felt very normal. The survivors had lived on the island day after day for more than ten years, and they had already adapted to it. Getting up, working, eating, and resting every day was no different from being outside. Slowly evolved into a small world of its own.
"Would you like to take a look?" Jing Xing was eccentric by nature, and the mermaids lived in the deep sea for a long time, rarely went ashore, and were full of curiosity about human things, which was quite similar to the little mermaid in the fairy tale.
Lin Mian doesn't care, it's not like he hasn't seen other people get married, and isn't the most important thing for them right now is to find a way to leave this place?The mermaids are probably not in a hurry, he still has to go to school in two days!
Wu Ting glanced at the little assistant indifferently, and then said two words: "No."
"Brother, what about you?" Jing Xing asked Jing Rong again, and the latter slowly closed his eyes, expressing his silent rejection.
Jing Xing showed regret on his face, and in the end he could only take one of his men out to play by himself.
Wu Ting didn't talk much, and Jing Rong didn't talk too much. The big shark brother left behind was just a background board. After Jing walked, the atmosphere in the living room was a bit cold. Just when Lin Mian was about to say something to ease it, The dean suddenly came over and stroked his hair.
Lin Mian subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"
Wu Ting lowered his voice and said, "There is a piece of algae."
"Oh, maybe it was just stained on the beach." Lin Mian whispered to him as well.
"Ah."
"Is there any more now?"
"Nothing."
……
The two whispered quietly as if no one was there, the big shark brother beside him couldn't help shaking, and Jing Rong also felt quite embarrassed, regretting why he didn't go out for a walk with his younger brother just now, what did he do wrong, to stay It was stuffed with dog food here, and it was the dog food of the ancient monster. Brother Jing said that it was too hard, and it would easily break his teeth if he ate it.
"Cough." Jing Rong coughed lightly, and in the next second received the cold gaze from Master Wu, Jing Rong stood up abruptly, bowed and saluted, and said without changing expression, "My lord, I suddenly feel that the wedding ceremony of human beings It's also quite interesting..."
Lord Wu waved his hand understandingly: "Go."
Seeing the backs of the two sharks leaving stiffly, Lin Mian almost laughed out loud.
"Principal, do you think Brother Jing Rong has a problem?" Lin Mian said seriously after laughing.
Wu Ting's expression was condensed: "The special management office received the false news of the riot, and the mermaids hunted and encountered a mysterious whirlpool, and we were dragged to the unnamed island. All these are too coincidental, as if someone is planning carefully behind the scenes... ..."
"But Jing Rong and Jing Xing also came in, and they also seemed very surprised." Lin Mian never doubted Wu Ting's judgment, but he didn't understand what the pair of shark brothers wanted to do.
Wu Ting lightly tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips, stood up after a while, and said to Lin Mian, "Go to the island and have a look."
When the two walked out of the living room, the sea breeze was stronger than before, carrying a salty smell. Lin Mian noticed that He Minghan's wife Su Liman was still sitting under the eaves like a wax figure, and the servant persuaded her to go back to the room in a low voice. Rest, Suliman didn't seem to hear.
Lin Mian couldn't help thinking to himself that if He Minghan's medical skills were as good as his servants said, why couldn't even his wife's dementia be cured?
The welcoming team passed through the middle of the residential area, and the white fine sand was covered with bright red confetti. In the distance, the islanders surrounded the bride and groom and said auspicious words. Their strong bodies make them stand out.
Wu Ting and Lin Mian walked in opposite directions.
To the east of He Minghan's house is the edge of the residential area. A few hundred meters away is the reef beach that is said to be haunted by sea monsters. whispered, Lin Mian was like a deer in the mountains, jumping nimbly from one rock to another, and Wu Ting was always not far behind him.
As Lin Mian walked deeper and deeper, she suddenly slipped and almost fell, Wu Ting's heart skipped a beat, but fortunately Lin Mian stabilized herself.
"What's wrong?" Wu Ting heaved a sigh of relief and walked to the rock where he was.
"There's someone here!" Lin Mian said and jumped off.
The gaps between the reefs formed pools of different sizes, and there were some small fish, shrimps and shellfish in them. However, what appeared in front of Lin Mian was a thin figure.
This figure looked familiar, face down in the pool, motionless, an ominous premonition rose in Lin Mian's heart, he swallowed hard, and reached out to pick up the child.
Seeing the other person's face clearly, Lin Mian was startled. It was the kid who was bullied at the seaside. Lin Mian remembered that He Minghan called him Xiaoyu. At this time, he was wet and cold, and his slightly long hair was wet. Pasted on the forehead, his face was as pale as paper.
Lin Mian didn't know how long the child had been submerged in the water, but when he thought of the scene of him being bullied to death, an unknown fire burned in his chest. Wu Ting put his right hand on his shoulder, and Lin Mian took a deep breath. , trying to calm down the anger in my heart.
He carefully carried the child on his back, intending to take his body out, but he didn't know who the child's parents were...
The original plan to wander around the island was temporarily stranded, because they carried a person on their backs, and the speed of the two returning back was much slower.
"Cough..." The slight cough made Lin Mian pause.
"Ahem..." Lin Mian slowly opened her eyes wide, and quickly put the child down on her back.
Because of the cough, the child's pale face regained some color. Lin Mian was both surprised and happy, and gently patted him on the back: "You are still alive!"
The child didn't speak, just gasped for breath, but Lin Mian seemed to see him roll his eyes, and Assistant Lin suspected that he was wrong.
"Have you been bullied by them again?" Lin Mian touched his little hand and found that it was a bit cold, so she rubbed it in her palm, the child shrank subconsciously, but did not shrink back.
Lin Mian didn't wait for a long time to respond, and was guessing that the child might be dumb, when he heard him hum in a very low voice.
"So you can talk!" Lin Mian rubbed his head smoothly, the hair was soft, like seaweed, and it felt very good.
The child wanted to hide, but he forcibly held back his eyes and looked aside instead of meeting him.
"Your name is Xiao Yu?" Lin Mian teased him while wringing out the hem of his clothes.
The child corrected blankly: "He Yu."
"Your surname is also He? Are you related to Dr. He?" Lin Mian only knew He Minghan's family on Wuming Island, and immediately thought of him when he heard this surname.
He Yu heard the words and stopped talking. Lin Mian looked at him and then at Wu Ting beside him, couldn't help laughing and said, "Principal, this kid looks a lot like you."
"Huh?" The dean raised his eyebrows.
"The same doesn't like to talk." Lin Mian patted the fine sand on her hands and said with a smile.
Hearing this, He Yu and Wu Ting looked at each other for a few seconds, then silently looked away at the same time.
"Why do those kids always bully you and call you a sea monster?" Lin Mian squatted down in front of him, keeping him at eye level.
"I'm not!" He Yu refuted quickly this time, as if afraid that Lin Mian would not believe it, he repeated, "I'm not!"
"Well, you're not." Seeing that he was agitated, Lin Mian comforted him, "Where is your home? Where are your parents?"
He Yu fell silent for an instant, and just when Lin Mian thought he would not answer, he only heard him say in a low voice, "They are all dead."
Lin Mian's heart skipped a beat. Most of the residents on Unnamed Island were survivors of the shipwreck, but there were still many less fortunate people who were buried in the seabed forever...
Lin Mian sighed, but felt that something was wrong. He Yu was only eight or nine years old this year, and judging from his reaction just now, he should have some relationship with He Minghan's family, so his parents are probably also ten years old. It makes sense to go to the island a few years ago and give birth to him, but if it wasn't for the shipwreck, why did they die?
"Where do you live?" Lin Mian still decided to send He Yu back to change clothes.
He Yu lowered his eyelashes and kicked the sand, kicking it out of a shallow pit. Lin Mian was left with a headache because of the child's lack of talkativeness.
He looked to his boss for help, and the latter glanced at He Yu in disgust, and said decisively, "Take him to He Minghan's house."
The child's body froze slightly, but Lin Mian didn't notice. He thought about it and couldn't think of a better way, so he agreed to Wu Ting's proposal.
Lin Mian led He Yu, Wu Ting walked on the other side, the three came out from behind the reef, and after a while they ran into Brother Jing Rong head-on, Jing Xing looked anxious, and he was obviously relieved after seeing them: " Where have you been, my lord?"
Wu Ting glanced at him indifferently, Jing Xing probably realized that he was too lenient with his slip of the tongue, and smiled awkwardly: "The family who got married today held a big banquet, and let all the islanders go over to have a drink. My eldest brother and I will meet for a while. I can't find you, I thought something happened..."
Jing Xing shifted his gaze to He Yu's face beside Lin Mian, and asked curiously, "Who is this child?"
Lin Mian was about to answer when she heard a familiar voice not far away: "Master Xiao Yu."
Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was the servant of He Minghan's family. She ran out of the living room with small steps, her expression was indifferent, and she called Master He Yu, but she didn't have such a respectful attitude towards He Minghan.
This child really has something to do with He Minghan...
Lin Mian touched the hair on the top of He Yu's head. The servant was not surprised by the wet clothes on the child, and took He Yu away from him expressionlessly. The child did not resist, and raised his eyelids to look at Lin Mian. Follow the servant back to the house to change clothes.
Lin Mian watched his back leave, and then followed Jing Rong and Jing Xing with Wu Ting to the family where the wedding was being held.
At this time, it was past four o'clock in the evening, and the days are getting shorter and shorter after autumn, and the sun will soon go down, leaving only some afterglow to illuminate the sunset.
Infected by the lively atmosphere, Lin Mian's depressed mood just now because of He Yu couldn't help becoming clearer. He stretched his neck to look into the crowd, only to find that it was a coincidence that they had met the groom's mother, who had just arrived on the island. The middle-aged woman who was wearing a dark red half-sleeve cheongsam that I met halfway.
The woman smiled kindly, but Lin Mian noticed that she seemed to be a little absent-minded, so she glanced at the door frequently from the corner of her eye, as if she was waiting for someone.
At this time, someone shouted outside the door: "Doctor He is here!"
As soon as the woman heard this, she immediately stood up, dragged her son and the daughter-in-law who had just passed the door to meet them, and the crowd automatically moved out of the way.
"This Dr. He's lineup is really big!" Jing Xing couldn't help but sigh.
His words were heard by an islander next to him, who glared at him angrily: "You are not allowed to slander Dr. He, respecting him is voluntary!"
The other islanders also echoed after hearing the words: "That's right, you just came here, and you haven't seen the power of Dr. He yet!"
"When you stay on the island for a while, you will know what we said is true."
"Yes, yes!"
This is the second time Lin Mian has heard people praise He Minghan's superb medical skills today, and he couldn't help but ask in an almost adoring tone, "Can he really heal the dead?"
"I don't know if it can be made of flesh and bones, but it is true that it can save the dead!" A strong man wiped his face, his eyes were full of reverence, "My son was brought back by the mantis from the gate of hell by Dr. He!"
Seeing that Lin Mian still didn't believe it, the burly man slapped his thigh, "Half a year ago, my naughty brat climbed up to the roof to play, but he accidentally fell down with his head down, and he lost his breath on the spot. The doctor abruptly brought him back to life!"
After the strong man finished speaking, he pointed to the forehead of a five or six-year-old child beside him and said, "The brains all flowed out at that time, and this scar will be left after it is cured."
The child twisted his body, trying to break free from his father's grasp. The scar on his forehead was a little long and slightly raised, like a small centipede, which showed that the fall was indeed hard.
"It's possible to revive people after they're dead. With the current level of medicine, is it really possible to do this?" Lin Mian murmured.
Wu Ting shook his head and remained silent.
Lin Mian thought for a while and suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Is it possible that He Minghan is a monster? Humans can't be brought back to life, so monsters should be able to?"
Before Wu Ting could speak, Jing Xing shook his head again and again: "Assistant Lin probably doesn't know that we monsters are not as omnipotent as you think..."
When Jing Xing said this, he caught a glimpse of Wu Ting at the side, and hurriedly added: "Of course, except Lord Wu. Generally, monsters use their power to strengthen themselves. If they want to heal people, they need to use natural materials and earthly treasures, but those who are good Things gradually became extinct after Nuwa mended the sky, and only one or two can be seen in the demon market, which shows that they are precious, so even if they exist, they cannot be used on ordinary humans."
Lin Mian was slightly disappointed, and Jing Xing continued: "However, there are seniors who can directly save people, but all of them are ancient monsters like Lord Wu. As for He Minghan..."
Jing Xing clicked his tongue: "Don't talk about the big monster, I can't even feel a trace of monster in him, he is just an ordinary human being."
Lin Mian looked at Wu Ting, who nodded, agreeing with Jing Xing's statement.
While chatting, the main character of the topic has been invited by the bridegroom's mother to be the witness of the wedding, and the islanders onlookers bowed slightly to show their respect.
Lin Mian still finds it unbelievable. In the eyes of these people, He Minghan is not so much a doctor, but an existence close to God or a savior.
After the wedding ceremony, the islanders were still booing around the couple enthusiastically. Only Lin Mian and his group sat down and began to eat and drink. Halfway through the meal, He Minghan came over to say hello with a wine glass.
"Have you guys found a place to stay at night?"
Lin Mian originally planned to leave this unnamed island as soon as possible. Besides, during the day, Jing Rong mentioned that he was planning to visit Hurricane Nest tonight, so he subconsciously never considered the question of accommodation. He didn't know how to answer it, so he listened. Wu Ting said lightly: "Not yet, I wonder if Doctor He can take us in for a few nights?"
It was clearly the intention of begging for help, but there was no gesture of begging for help. The little assistant expressed his admiration.
He Minghan didn't seem to care, and readily agreed.
A few people quietly left the banquet after eating, and the rest of the islanders continued to drink and change. According to Brother Jingrong, there are almost no people on the beach now, and it is a good time to check the hurricane nest in the past.
After entering the water, the four mermen quickly turned into their original human bodies and fish tails, and Wu Ting led Lin Mian to follow not far behind.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened. There were no stars, but the moon was huge. The bright light shone on the sea surface, sparkling. The group of people moved forward at a fast speed. The feeling of riding the wind and waves, in short, is very cool.
Lin Mian looked at the tall dean standing beside him with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help feeling secretly that only the ten-thousand-year-old tortoise could be so relaxed in the deep sea.
Wu Ting noticed the relieved expression on the little assistant's face, and felt inexplicably tense, feeling that he was thinking about something bad again...
The four mermen opened the way ahead, Lin Mian's eyes lingered on them for a moment, and suddenly asked loudly, "The other merman brothers don't seem to be drawn to this island?"
There were about 300 people dispatched for the autumn hunt of the Merman Clan. When the maelstrom appeared, Lin Mian saw with his own eyes that these 300 people were sucked in, but now there are only Jing Rong brothers and two subordinates on the island...
"Well, our family has a unique secret technique of communication, which can sense the same family within a radius of a hundred miles, but since we went to the island, we haven't sensed any other mermaids, so I suspect that they were swept away to other places Let's go." Jing Xing slowed down and floated up and down in the sea.
Lin Mian nodded, thought for a while and said, "In the demon world, the mermaid clan should be the most powerful monster clan after the fox, phoenix, and dragon clans. I haven't seen any monster clan with such a large number of people since I entered the research institute." Huge!"
Listening to him blowing rainbow farts, Jing Xing didn't have much color on his face, instead, there was a gloomy look between his brows: "If there hadn't been the great collapse thousands of years ago, the aura in the human world would still be as strong as ever. There will be more."
"Really..." Lin Mian answered in a low voice, but Jing Xing laughed, "I'm talking nonsense, Assistant Lin, don't take it seriously, after all, no one knows what the ending will be for things that haven't happened, right?"
At this time, a signal came from the men of the Merman swimming in the front: Hurricane Nest was found!
The spirits of several people suddenly lifted, and Wu Ting threw a mirage bead, forming a small enchantment around himself and Lin Mian.
It was the first time Lin Mian knew that the mirage beads could still be used in this way, and she couldn't help poking them curiously, and the air rippled away like water waves.
"This barrier can withstand the impact of an atomic bomb exploded at close range." Wu Ting explained with a smile when he saw his movements.
While speaking, Hurricane Nest was already approaching.
Chuancheng is not a windy area, and Lin Mian has little chance to see hurricanes in real life, but various science fiction movies, especially large-scale disaster movies like to use this element, so Lin Mian had imagined the scene of hurricane passing through before, but the real Witnessing Hurricane Nest was still a bit of a shock.
The wind has no substantial shape, but because of the high-speed rotation of the airflow, the sea water is swirled into the air, and the thick water columns move around restlessly. The nearby sea is rough, and the waves are pressed down like hills. There would be no danger by his side, Lin Mian still couldn't help feeling frightened.
"What the hell is this place? Why are there so many wind clusters?" The merman who had sent the news earlier stopped about a hundred meters away from the edge of the wind nest. Lin Mian noticed that there were slender wounds on his exposed skin.
For the first time, Jing Xing's always smiling face showed a dignified look, and Jing Rong's complexion was not good-looking, but the eldest son of the Old Shark King was much braver than his younger brother, he dived deep into the sea without saying a word, The thick and powerful fish tail swung, rushing into the hurricane nest like a sharp arrow.
Jing Xing reflexively went to pull him, but he didn't. Lin Mian heard him curse something in a low voice, and fixed his eyes on the sea ahead.
Jing Rong's mermaid subordinate yelled, plunged into the water, and was about to follow his master, but Jing Xing quickly lifted him out, threw him to the rear, and warned in a low voice: "Stay still! "
The words and deeds of the four mermen fell into Lin Mian's eyes, and he thought maybe the relationship between Jing Rong and Jing Xing was not as bad as they thought...
A few minutes later, there was a hint of blood in the originally salty and humid air.
Lin Mian's heart sank, did something happen to Jing Rong?
Jing Xing was floating on the surface of the sea with his upper body naked. Through the moonlight, Lin Mian saw that the muscles in his cheeks seemed to twitch violently. The two merman men had already started to get anxious, and their fish tails slapped the water.
Time passed by, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger. Just when Lin Mian thought that Jing Rong might have encountered an accident, a head rose from the sea not far away.
"Brother." Jing Xing immediately swam over to meet him, Lin Mian and Wu Ting also stepped forward to check on Jing Rong's situation, but they didn't know what happened, and everyone gasped when they saw it.
Jing Rong's body was covered with large and small wounds, and blood gushed out, but these were nothing. The most serious thing was his fish tail, which seemed to be pierced by an extremely sharp knife. The meat was gone, and bones were still exposed in several places.
Jing Xing hugged his brother, his face sank like water, Wu Ting whispered: "Go back first, he needs treatment."
Jing Xing nodded, and everyone rushed back to Wuming Island at a faster speed than when they came. As soon as they left the water, the fish tails of the mermaids turned into legs again.
Lin Mian slammed the door of He Minghan's house, and a servant came out to open the door after a while, and was startled when he saw Jing Rong covered in blood. He Minghan heard the voice coming down from the second floor, seeing this situation, Immediately ask Jing Xing to carry him to the consultation room.
Although the islanders bragged about He Minghan, Jing Xing couldn't believe him, but Jing Rong's injury couldn't be delayed. If the demonic power of Wu Ting hadn't been suppressed, Jing Xing had no doubt that this lord could heal his brother ...
At this time, Jing Xing was almost desperate.
"Let him try." At the critical moment, Wu Ting made the decision for him.
Jing Xing glanced at the doctor and gritted his teeth: "Then I'll leave it to you!"
He Minghan didn't say much, and slowly closed the door of the consulting room.
Jing Xing was sitting on the sofa in the living room with his head down, his face expressionless, but Lin Mian could sense that he was very nervous, and he kept gnawing his fingernails subconsciously, without even noticing that he was bleeding.
Lin Mian originally thought that Jing Rong's injury would be a National Taiwan University surgery no matter what, but half an hour later, the door of the consulting room opened again.
He Minghan took off his mask, with a hint of exhaustion between his brows, he nodded slightly to them, and Jing Xing stood up and walked quickly to the consultation room.
Jing Rong was still in a coma, but his breathing was steady, and his face was no longer pale from excessive blood loss. His legs were hidden under the thin quilt, revealing a little white gauze.
"After resting for a while, you should be able to recover." He Minghan seemed confident.
"Thank you, Doctor He." Jing Xing's expression had returned to normal, and he thanked him politely.
He Minghan glanced at the scene on the bed, and frowned slightly: "He is..."
"We went to Hurricane Nest." Lin Mian didn't hide anything.
He Minghan's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this, and his tone became severe: "It's too dangerous, you are making fun of your own lives."
Seeing the disapproval on his face, Lin Mian hurriedly said, "I didn't know how bad Hurricane Nest was before, but now that Jing Rong is injured, we won't go there again."
Only then did He Minghan slow down his tone: "I know you want to leave here. Many people have tried this way in the past ten years, but they were all crushed by the hurricane."
As if afraid that they would not believe it, He Minghan sighed and continued: "My brother-in-law is one of them."
"Your brother-in-law?" Jing Rong's physical condition visibly stabilized, and Jing Xing's affection for He Minghan suddenly increased a lot.
Lin Mian remembered that He Minghan did mention that he had a younger sister before, and this younger sister was also dragged to the nameless island.
"About a year after going to the island, my younger sister Mingxi rescued a survivor of a shipwreck at the seaside and fell in love with him. The two got married soon. My brother-in-law seems to be a very well-known person in the outside world. So he always wanted to take my sister out of here.
One night he went to Hurricane Nest again, and when he came back, he was covered in wounds, like a bloody man. Mingxi was eight months pregnant at the time, and ran to me overnight to ask for help. Unfortunately, his brother-in-law was seriously injured. I tried my best but couldn't save him.Mingxi lost her lover and gave birth prematurely in grief.
At that time, the medical conditions on the island were very poor. The premature birth killed Ming Xi, and I lost two relatives overnight. "
He Minghan looked gloomy, Lin Mian didn't know how to comfort him, and heard him say, "It's a good thing that Mingxi left Xiaoyu behind, which is barely a bit of consolation to me."
He Yu?
"It turns out that Xiao Yu is Dr. He's nephew." Lin Mian's heart skipped a beat.
He Minghan smiled bitterly: "After Mingxi left, Rieman and I raised him. I was usually busy with work, and Rieman was not in good spirits. He had always neglected to take care of Xiaoyu, and Xiaoqi always liked to rely on how old he was. Bullying him, this kid has become more and more introverted and doesn't like to talk...Xiao Yu?!"
He Minghan was slightly taken aback.
Lin Mian followed his gaze. He Yu was standing at the stairs, quietly looking in the direction of the consulting room. When He Minghan called his name, the child turned and ran out the door.
"I'll take a look. It's almost early morning. You guys need to rest early. Mr. Jing Rong also needs to rest." He Minghan told his servant to arrange a room for them, and then hurriedly chased them out.
"Does Xiaoyu know her own background?" Lin Mian asked the servant leading the way.
The old woman nodded: "Wuming Island is the size of a palm, and everyone lives in a residential area. It is no secret that Master Xiao Yu's parents died."
Have you lost your parents since you were a child, and you are dependent on others, is that why you have been bullied by other children?
Lin Mian himself is also an orphan, but he met an old teacher, although life is hard, but the latter has always protected him very well, maybe because things hurt his kind, Lin Mian feels a little bit distressed that he is not yet eight child.
Two mermen were left behind to take care of Jing Rong at night, and the other three followed the servants upstairs. Lin Mian felt as if someone was watching her, and suddenly raised her head to meet a pair of eyes without focal length. The owner of the eyes seemed to have no idea He would bump into him and immediately get up, the snow-white skirt disappearing around the corner of the stairs.
"Is that you, madam?" the servant asked uncertainly, but got no response.
Lin Mian raised her eyebrows.
Suliman?
Doesn't she have dementia?Those who don't sleep at night hide here and peek at what they are doing?
The second floor takes the staircase as the central axis. On the left is the master bedroom of He Minghan and his wife and the bedrooms of the two children, and on the right is the guest room. The servant arranged the room according to He Minghan's instructions and left.
Lin Mian was going to wash up directly, but when she saw Wu Ting standing by the window thinking, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Wu Ting's brows condensed into a simple word: "I just felt a trace of evil spirit in He Minghan."
"When?" Lin Mian was taken aback.
"After he treated Jing Rong's injury." Wu Ting's slender fingers unconsciously tapped on the window sill, as if he couldn't figure it out, "but it disappeared after a while."
"Could it be contaminated from Jing Rong? After all, he shed so much blood." People and monsters tend to be infected with monsters after being in close contact for a long time. In the case of the theft in Jinyuan Community, Granny Deng and her It was because the granddaughter hadn't lived with Huazhishu for a long time that Wu Ting saw the clues.
Wu Ting squinted his eyes: "Perhaps, the trace of evil spirit is indeed very similar to that of the mermaid race."
"However, I think there are several strange things about He Minghan." Lin Mian sat on the edge of the bed, with a layer of doubt in his eyes.
"what?"
"According to the islanders, He Minghan's medical skills are so superb that he can even save the dead, but why did his sister and brother-in-law die a few years ago?" Lin Mian found this very strange, "Only An explanation——he only possessed the ability to bring people back to life later on, but on this isolated island far away from the world and relatively scarce in supplies, there really are such conditions that make
Lin Mian looked back and saw that it was Brother Jing Rong and Jing Xing, followed by two sharks, one with gauze on his forehead and a bandage on the other arm.
"We just went out to familiarize ourselves with the environment on the island." Jing Xing was a little agitated, Jing Rong was serious, but his attitude towards Wu Ting was still as respectful as before.
When the merman left the sea, his appearance also changed greatly. The exposed scales and gills faded away, turning into a wheat-colored smooth skin. The most important thing is that the fish tail below the waist became two straight long legs. It looks like a human being, but taller and more handsome.
Leaving aside the female mermaids, at least the male mermaids look a bit like little mermaids...
Assistant Lin expressed his satisfaction.
He Minghan's face changed slightly after hearing Jing Xing's words: "You probably don't know that these two days are the period of high incidence of hurricanes. Not only at night, but also during the day, there will be hurricanes sweeping along the coast at any time, so if nothing happens, everyone is still in the residential area Activities inside are relatively safe.”
As the only monster clan in Taize, the mermaids have of course seen hurricanes. To them, only weak humans are afraid of hurricanes. The powerful mermaids can ride the wind and waves, so they don't take He Minghan's advice. Take it to heart.
At this time, some islanders came to ask He Minghan to go out for a doctor in a panic. The latter took the medicine box, let Lin Mian and the others take care of themselves, and followed him away.
The servant went to the second floor to clean, and He Xiaoqi went to play somewhere else, and there were only outsiders like them in the living room, Jing Xing finally couldn't help it and said: "Master Wu, my brother and I's demon power has been suppressed by half. "
Monster power is an important symbol that distinguishes monsters from humans, and monsters that have completely lost their monster power are just like ordinary people, that's why Jing Xing is so anxious.
"Well, me too." Wu Ting sat on the chair, and tapped the armrest carelessly with his slender fingers.
Seeing his indifference and indifference, the Shark Brothers couldn't figure out what the number one demon from all over the world was thinking for a moment. They looked at each other, and both fell silent. It was Lin Mian who broke the deadlock: "I just heard from you that you went to the island to familiarize yourself with the environment. Did you gain anything?"
Jing Xing scratched his chin: "All the residents on this island are survivors of shipwrecks, some because of the wreck of a cruise ship, some because of bad weather while fishing, and one of the most outrageous, challenging ultra-long-distance wild swimming, As a result, I was exhausted halfway and passed out, and after waking up, I appeared on the beach on the shore."
This situation is similar to what He Minghan said, and Jing Xing continued: "The longest of these islanders has been here for ten years, and He Minghan's family is one of them, and the few are almost a year. At that time, many people thought about leaving this deserted island, but they all failed."
"Failed?" Lin Mian asked He Minghan a similar question before, but was interrupted by a passing islander and couldn't hear the answer.
Jing Xing nodded: "The isolated island is surrounded by the sea. Although the sea is calm now, it is said that there is an extremely dense hurricane nest at the end that cannot be seen. Once ships approach, they will be rolled into pieces, let alone human beings with flesh and blood .”
The essence of a hurricane is actually a tropical cyclone that appears on the sea. This kind of weather phenomenon will appear when the sea surface temperature and humidity are high. Understand the scope, probably a large meat grinder with countless saw teeth?
"We plan to go and have a look tonight." Jing Rong said in a deep voice, the strength of the mermaid's body is far from that of a human being's. Humans can't get close to the hurricane nest, which doesn't mean they can't either, but once the mermaid enters the water, his legs will regain Turn into fishtails, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they will not act during the day.
Lin Mian couldn't help but glance at him, the eldest son of the Old Shark King didn't talk much, but he acted more decisively and dangerously than his younger brother.
Jing Xing's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and only took a deep look at his brother.
There was a noise from the stairs. It was the servants of He Minghan's family who came down. They stopped talking at the same time. Lin Mian looked at the old woman in front of him, and remembered that He Minghan said that he was with his wife and son ten years ago. There was also the shipwreck that my sister encountered together. Could it be that the family was still accompanied by servants at that time?
Probably because the curiosity on his face was too obvious, the old woman stroked her gray hair: "Doctor He is a good man, he has saved many lives on the island, and I took the initiative to serve their family to repay him of."
The old woman spoke very slowly, word by word, her lips trembling slightly, and her expression could even be called pious.
"Healing the wounded and saving lives is the bounden duty of a doctor. You are exaggerating." Seeing her appearance, Lin Mian smiled indifferently.
"No, no, you don't understand, Dr. He can cure any disease, even if you die, he can save you from death, how can those quack doctors outside compare with him..." The old woman stared angrily He glanced at it, then went out chattering with the dustpan.
"What do you know about Doctor He?" Wu Ting asked suddenly.
Jing Xing shook his head: "I don't know much, I just know that he is the only doctor on the island. Later we heard from the islanders that He Minghan had brought two strangers home, so we guessed that they might be the lord and Assistant Lin, so we hurried away Come here, not enough time."
As soon as the words were finished, suona, gongs, drums and people's laughter and laughter could be heard faintly outside the house. Everyone was taken aback. Jing Xing's subordinate—the shark with gauze wrapped around his head—run out to have a look, and came back to tell everyone : "It seems that someone is getting married."
marry?
Lin Mian was stunned, and then felt very normal. The survivors had lived on the island day after day for more than ten years, and they had already adapted to it. Getting up, working, eating, and resting every day was no different from being outside. Slowly evolved into a small world of its own.
"Would you like to take a look?" Jing Xing was eccentric by nature, and the mermaids lived in the deep sea for a long time, rarely went ashore, and were full of curiosity about human things, which was quite similar to the little mermaid in the fairy tale.
Lin Mian doesn't care, it's not like he hasn't seen other people get married, and isn't the most important thing for them right now is to find a way to leave this place?The mermaids are probably not in a hurry, he still has to go to school in two days!
Wu Ting glanced at the little assistant indifferently, and then said two words: "No."
"Brother, what about you?" Jing Xing asked Jing Rong again, and the latter slowly closed his eyes, expressing his silent rejection.
Jing Xing showed regret on his face, and in the end he could only take one of his men out to play by himself.
Wu Ting didn't talk much, and Jing Rong didn't talk too much. The big shark brother left behind was just a background board. After Jing walked, the atmosphere in the living room was a bit cold. Just when Lin Mian was about to say something to ease it, The dean suddenly came over and stroked his hair.
Lin Mian subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"
Wu Ting lowered his voice and said, "There is a piece of algae."
"Oh, maybe it was just stained on the beach." Lin Mian whispered to him as well.
"Ah."
"Is there any more now?"
"Nothing."
……
The two whispered quietly as if no one was there, the big shark brother beside him couldn't help shaking, and Jing Rong also felt quite embarrassed, regretting why he didn't go out for a walk with his younger brother just now, what did he do wrong, to stay It was stuffed with dog food here, and it was the dog food of the ancient monster. Brother Jing said that it was too hard, and it would easily break his teeth if he ate it.
"Cough." Jing Rong coughed lightly, and in the next second received the cold gaze from Master Wu, Jing Rong stood up abruptly, bowed and saluted, and said without changing expression, "My lord, I suddenly feel that the wedding ceremony of human beings It's also quite interesting..."
Lord Wu waved his hand understandingly: "Go."
Seeing the backs of the two sharks leaving stiffly, Lin Mian almost laughed out loud.
"Principal, do you think Brother Jing Rong has a problem?" Lin Mian said seriously after laughing.
Wu Ting's expression was condensed: "The special management office received the false news of the riot, and the mermaids hunted and encountered a mysterious whirlpool, and we were dragged to the unnamed island. All these are too coincidental, as if someone is planning carefully behind the scenes... ..."
"But Jing Rong and Jing Xing also came in, and they also seemed very surprised." Lin Mian never doubted Wu Ting's judgment, but he didn't understand what the pair of shark brothers wanted to do.
Wu Ting lightly tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips, stood up after a while, and said to Lin Mian, "Go to the island and have a look."
When the two walked out of the living room, the sea breeze was stronger than before, carrying a salty smell. Lin Mian noticed that He Minghan's wife Su Liman was still sitting under the eaves like a wax figure, and the servant persuaded her to go back to the room in a low voice. Rest, Suliman didn't seem to hear.
Lin Mian couldn't help thinking to himself that if He Minghan's medical skills were as good as his servants said, why couldn't even his wife's dementia be cured?
The welcoming team passed through the middle of the residential area, and the white fine sand was covered with bright red confetti. In the distance, the islanders surrounded the bride and groom and said auspicious words. Their strong bodies make them stand out.
Wu Ting and Lin Mian walked in opposite directions.
To the east of He Minghan's house is the edge of the residential area. A few hundred meters away is the reef beach that is said to be haunted by sea monsters. whispered, Lin Mian was like a deer in the mountains, jumping nimbly from one rock to another, and Wu Ting was always not far behind him.
As Lin Mian walked deeper and deeper, she suddenly slipped and almost fell, Wu Ting's heart skipped a beat, but fortunately Lin Mian stabilized herself.
"What's wrong?" Wu Ting heaved a sigh of relief and walked to the rock where he was.
"There's someone here!" Lin Mian said and jumped off.
The gaps between the reefs formed pools of different sizes, and there were some small fish, shrimps and shellfish in them. However, what appeared in front of Lin Mian was a thin figure.
This figure looked familiar, face down in the pool, motionless, an ominous premonition rose in Lin Mian's heart, he swallowed hard, and reached out to pick up the child.
Seeing the other person's face clearly, Lin Mian was startled. It was the kid who was bullied at the seaside. Lin Mian remembered that He Minghan called him Xiaoyu. At this time, he was wet and cold, and his slightly long hair was wet. Pasted on the forehead, his face was as pale as paper.
Lin Mian didn't know how long the child had been submerged in the water, but when he thought of the scene of him being bullied to death, an unknown fire burned in his chest. Wu Ting put his right hand on his shoulder, and Lin Mian took a deep breath. , trying to calm down the anger in my heart.
He carefully carried the child on his back, intending to take his body out, but he didn't know who the child's parents were...
The original plan to wander around the island was temporarily stranded, because they carried a person on their backs, and the speed of the two returning back was much slower.
"Cough..." The slight cough made Lin Mian pause.
"Ahem..." Lin Mian slowly opened her eyes wide, and quickly put the child down on her back.
Because of the cough, the child's pale face regained some color. Lin Mian was both surprised and happy, and gently patted him on the back: "You are still alive!"
The child didn't speak, just gasped for breath, but Lin Mian seemed to see him roll his eyes, and Assistant Lin suspected that he was wrong.
"Have you been bullied by them again?" Lin Mian touched his little hand and found that it was a bit cold, so she rubbed it in her palm, the child shrank subconsciously, but did not shrink back.
Lin Mian didn't wait for a long time to respond, and was guessing that the child might be dumb, when he heard him hum in a very low voice.
"So you can talk!" Lin Mian rubbed his head smoothly, the hair was soft, like seaweed, and it felt very good.
The child wanted to hide, but he forcibly held back his eyes and looked aside instead of meeting him.
"Your name is Xiao Yu?" Lin Mian teased him while wringing out the hem of his clothes.
The child corrected blankly: "He Yu."
"Your surname is also He? Are you related to Dr. He?" Lin Mian only knew He Minghan's family on Wuming Island, and immediately thought of him when he heard this surname.
He Yu heard the words and stopped talking. Lin Mian looked at him and then at Wu Ting beside him, couldn't help laughing and said, "Principal, this kid looks a lot like you."
"Huh?" The dean raised his eyebrows.
"The same doesn't like to talk." Lin Mian patted the fine sand on her hands and said with a smile.
Hearing this, He Yu and Wu Ting looked at each other for a few seconds, then silently looked away at the same time.
"Why do those kids always bully you and call you a sea monster?" Lin Mian squatted down in front of him, keeping him at eye level.
"I'm not!" He Yu refuted quickly this time, as if afraid that Lin Mian would not believe it, he repeated, "I'm not!"
"Well, you're not." Seeing that he was agitated, Lin Mian comforted him, "Where is your home? Where are your parents?"
He Yu fell silent for an instant, and just when Lin Mian thought he would not answer, he only heard him say in a low voice, "They are all dead."
Lin Mian's heart skipped a beat. Most of the residents on Unnamed Island were survivors of the shipwreck, but there were still many less fortunate people who were buried in the seabed forever...
Lin Mian sighed, but felt that something was wrong. He Yu was only eight or nine years old this year, and judging from his reaction just now, he should have some relationship with He Minghan's family, so his parents are probably also ten years old. It makes sense to go to the island a few years ago and give birth to him, but if it wasn't for the shipwreck, why did they die?
"Where do you live?" Lin Mian still decided to send He Yu back to change clothes.
He Yu lowered his eyelashes and kicked the sand, kicking it out of a shallow pit. Lin Mian was left with a headache because of the child's lack of talkativeness.
He looked to his boss for help, and the latter glanced at He Yu in disgust, and said decisively, "Take him to He Minghan's house."
The child's body froze slightly, but Lin Mian didn't notice. He thought about it and couldn't think of a better way, so he agreed to Wu Ting's proposal.
Lin Mian led He Yu, Wu Ting walked on the other side, the three came out from behind the reef, and after a while they ran into Brother Jing Rong head-on, Jing Xing looked anxious, and he was obviously relieved after seeing them: " Where have you been, my lord?"
Wu Ting glanced at him indifferently, Jing Xing probably realized that he was too lenient with his slip of the tongue, and smiled awkwardly: "The family who got married today held a big banquet, and let all the islanders go over to have a drink. My eldest brother and I will meet for a while. I can't find you, I thought something happened..."
Jing Xing shifted his gaze to He Yu's face beside Lin Mian, and asked curiously, "Who is this child?"
Lin Mian was about to answer when she heard a familiar voice not far away: "Master Xiao Yu."
Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was the servant of He Minghan's family. She ran out of the living room with small steps, her expression was indifferent, and she called Master He Yu, but she didn't have such a respectful attitude towards He Minghan.
This child really has something to do with He Minghan...
Lin Mian touched the hair on the top of He Yu's head. The servant was not surprised by the wet clothes on the child, and took He Yu away from him expressionlessly. The child did not resist, and raised his eyelids to look at Lin Mian. Follow the servant back to the house to change clothes.
Lin Mian watched his back leave, and then followed Jing Rong and Jing Xing with Wu Ting to the family where the wedding was being held.
At this time, it was past four o'clock in the evening, and the days are getting shorter and shorter after autumn, and the sun will soon go down, leaving only some afterglow to illuminate the sunset.
Infected by the lively atmosphere, Lin Mian's depressed mood just now because of He Yu couldn't help becoming clearer. He stretched his neck to look into the crowd, only to find that it was a coincidence that they had met the groom's mother, who had just arrived on the island. The middle-aged woman who was wearing a dark red half-sleeve cheongsam that I met halfway.
The woman smiled kindly, but Lin Mian noticed that she seemed to be a little absent-minded, so she glanced at the door frequently from the corner of her eye, as if she was waiting for someone.
At this time, someone shouted outside the door: "Doctor He is here!"
As soon as the woman heard this, she immediately stood up, dragged her son and the daughter-in-law who had just passed the door to meet them, and the crowd automatically moved out of the way.
"This Dr. He's lineup is really big!" Jing Xing couldn't help but sigh.
His words were heard by an islander next to him, who glared at him angrily: "You are not allowed to slander Dr. He, respecting him is voluntary!"
The other islanders also echoed after hearing the words: "That's right, you just came here, and you haven't seen the power of Dr. He yet!"
"When you stay on the island for a while, you will know what we said is true."
"Yes, yes!"
This is the second time Lin Mian has heard people praise He Minghan's superb medical skills today, and he couldn't help but ask in an almost adoring tone, "Can he really heal the dead?"
"I don't know if it can be made of flesh and bones, but it is true that it can save the dead!" A strong man wiped his face, his eyes were full of reverence, "My son was brought back by the mantis from the gate of hell by Dr. He!"
Seeing that Lin Mian still didn't believe it, the burly man slapped his thigh, "Half a year ago, my naughty brat climbed up to the roof to play, but he accidentally fell down with his head down, and he lost his breath on the spot. The doctor abruptly brought him back to life!"
After the strong man finished speaking, he pointed to the forehead of a five or six-year-old child beside him and said, "The brains all flowed out at that time, and this scar will be left after it is cured."
The child twisted his body, trying to break free from his father's grasp. The scar on his forehead was a little long and slightly raised, like a small centipede, which showed that the fall was indeed hard.
"It's possible to revive people after they're dead. With the current level of medicine, is it really possible to do this?" Lin Mian murmured.
Wu Ting shook his head and remained silent.
Lin Mian thought for a while and suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Is it possible that He Minghan is a monster? Humans can't be brought back to life, so monsters should be able to?"
Before Wu Ting could speak, Jing Xing shook his head again and again: "Assistant Lin probably doesn't know that we monsters are not as omnipotent as you think..."
When Jing Xing said this, he caught a glimpse of Wu Ting at the side, and hurriedly added: "Of course, except Lord Wu. Generally, monsters use their power to strengthen themselves. If they want to heal people, they need to use natural materials and earthly treasures, but those who are good Things gradually became extinct after Nuwa mended the sky, and only one or two can be seen in the demon market, which shows that they are precious, so even if they exist, they cannot be used on ordinary humans."
Lin Mian was slightly disappointed, and Jing Xing continued: "However, there are seniors who can directly save people, but all of them are ancient monsters like Lord Wu. As for He Minghan..."
Jing Xing clicked his tongue: "Don't talk about the big monster, I can't even feel a trace of monster in him, he is just an ordinary human being."
Lin Mian looked at Wu Ting, who nodded, agreeing with Jing Xing's statement.
While chatting, the main character of the topic has been invited by the bridegroom's mother to be the witness of the wedding, and the islanders onlookers bowed slightly to show their respect.
Lin Mian still finds it unbelievable. In the eyes of these people, He Minghan is not so much a doctor, but an existence close to God or a savior.
After the wedding ceremony, the islanders were still booing around the couple enthusiastically. Only Lin Mian and his group sat down and began to eat and drink. Halfway through the meal, He Minghan came over to say hello with a wine glass.
"Have you guys found a place to stay at night?"
Lin Mian originally planned to leave this unnamed island as soon as possible. Besides, during the day, Jing Rong mentioned that he was planning to visit Hurricane Nest tonight, so he subconsciously never considered the question of accommodation. He didn't know how to answer it, so he listened. Wu Ting said lightly: "Not yet, I wonder if Doctor He can take us in for a few nights?"
It was clearly the intention of begging for help, but there was no gesture of begging for help. The little assistant expressed his admiration.
He Minghan didn't seem to care, and readily agreed.
A few people quietly left the banquet after eating, and the rest of the islanders continued to drink and change. According to Brother Jingrong, there are almost no people on the beach now, and it is a good time to check the hurricane nest in the past.
After entering the water, the four mermen quickly turned into their original human bodies and fish tails, and Wu Ting led Lin Mian to follow not far behind.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened. There were no stars, but the moon was huge. The bright light shone on the sea surface, sparkling. The group of people moved forward at a fast speed. The feeling of riding the wind and waves, in short, is very cool.
Lin Mian looked at the tall dean standing beside him with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help feeling secretly that only the ten-thousand-year-old tortoise could be so relaxed in the deep sea.
Wu Ting noticed the relieved expression on the little assistant's face, and felt inexplicably tense, feeling that he was thinking about something bad again...
The four mermen opened the way ahead, Lin Mian's eyes lingered on them for a moment, and suddenly asked loudly, "The other merman brothers don't seem to be drawn to this island?"
There were about 300 people dispatched for the autumn hunt of the Merman Clan. When the maelstrom appeared, Lin Mian saw with his own eyes that these 300 people were sucked in, but now there are only Jing Rong brothers and two subordinates on the island...
"Well, our family has a unique secret technique of communication, which can sense the same family within a radius of a hundred miles, but since we went to the island, we haven't sensed any other mermaids, so I suspect that they were swept away to other places Let's go." Jing Xing slowed down and floated up and down in the sea.
Lin Mian nodded, thought for a while and said, "In the demon world, the mermaid clan should be the most powerful monster clan after the fox, phoenix, and dragon clans. I haven't seen any monster clan with such a large number of people since I entered the research institute." Huge!"
Listening to him blowing rainbow farts, Jing Xing didn't have much color on his face, instead, there was a gloomy look between his brows: "If there hadn't been the great collapse thousands of years ago, the aura in the human world would still be as strong as ever. There will be more."
"Really..." Lin Mian answered in a low voice, but Jing Xing laughed, "I'm talking nonsense, Assistant Lin, don't take it seriously, after all, no one knows what the ending will be for things that haven't happened, right?"
At this time, a signal came from the men of the Merman swimming in the front: Hurricane Nest was found!
The spirits of several people suddenly lifted, and Wu Ting threw a mirage bead, forming a small enchantment around himself and Lin Mian.
It was the first time Lin Mian knew that the mirage beads could still be used in this way, and she couldn't help poking them curiously, and the air rippled away like water waves.
"This barrier can withstand the impact of an atomic bomb exploded at close range." Wu Ting explained with a smile when he saw his movements.
While speaking, Hurricane Nest was already approaching.
Chuancheng is not a windy area, and Lin Mian has little chance to see hurricanes in real life, but various science fiction movies, especially large-scale disaster movies like to use this element, so Lin Mian had imagined the scene of hurricane passing through before, but the real Witnessing Hurricane Nest was still a bit of a shock.
The wind has no substantial shape, but because of the high-speed rotation of the airflow, the sea water is swirled into the air, and the thick water columns move around restlessly. The nearby sea is rough, and the waves are pressed down like hills. There would be no danger by his side, Lin Mian still couldn't help feeling frightened.
"What the hell is this place? Why are there so many wind clusters?" The merman who had sent the news earlier stopped about a hundred meters away from the edge of the wind nest. Lin Mian noticed that there were slender wounds on his exposed skin.
For the first time, Jing Xing's always smiling face showed a dignified look, and Jing Rong's complexion was not good-looking, but the eldest son of the Old Shark King was much braver than his younger brother, he dived deep into the sea without saying a word, The thick and powerful fish tail swung, rushing into the hurricane nest like a sharp arrow.
Jing Xing reflexively went to pull him, but he didn't. Lin Mian heard him curse something in a low voice, and fixed his eyes on the sea ahead.
Jing Rong's mermaid subordinate yelled, plunged into the water, and was about to follow his master, but Jing Xing quickly lifted him out, threw him to the rear, and warned in a low voice: "Stay still! "
The words and deeds of the four mermen fell into Lin Mian's eyes, and he thought maybe the relationship between Jing Rong and Jing Xing was not as bad as they thought...
A few minutes later, there was a hint of blood in the originally salty and humid air.
Lin Mian's heart sank, did something happen to Jing Rong?
Jing Xing was floating on the surface of the sea with his upper body naked. Through the moonlight, Lin Mian saw that the muscles in his cheeks seemed to twitch violently. The two merman men had already started to get anxious, and their fish tails slapped the water.
Time passed by, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger. Just when Lin Mian thought that Jing Rong might have encountered an accident, a head rose from the sea not far away.
"Brother." Jing Xing immediately swam over to meet him, Lin Mian and Wu Ting also stepped forward to check on Jing Rong's situation, but they didn't know what happened, and everyone gasped when they saw it.
Jing Rong's body was covered with large and small wounds, and blood gushed out, but these were nothing. The most serious thing was his fish tail, which seemed to be pierced by an extremely sharp knife. The meat was gone, and bones were still exposed in several places.
Jing Xing hugged his brother, his face sank like water, Wu Ting whispered: "Go back first, he needs treatment."
Jing Xing nodded, and everyone rushed back to Wuming Island at a faster speed than when they came. As soon as they left the water, the fish tails of the mermaids turned into legs again.
Lin Mian slammed the door of He Minghan's house, and a servant came out to open the door after a while, and was startled when he saw Jing Rong covered in blood. He Minghan heard the voice coming down from the second floor, seeing this situation, Immediately ask Jing Xing to carry him to the consultation room.
Although the islanders bragged about He Minghan, Jing Xing couldn't believe him, but Jing Rong's injury couldn't be delayed. If the demonic power of Wu Ting hadn't been suppressed, Jing Xing had no doubt that this lord could heal his brother ...
At this time, Jing Xing was almost desperate.
"Let him try." At the critical moment, Wu Ting made the decision for him.
Jing Xing glanced at the doctor and gritted his teeth: "Then I'll leave it to you!"
He Minghan didn't say much, and slowly closed the door of the consulting room.
Jing Xing was sitting on the sofa in the living room with his head down, his face expressionless, but Lin Mian could sense that he was very nervous, and he kept gnawing his fingernails subconsciously, without even noticing that he was bleeding.
Lin Mian originally thought that Jing Rong's injury would be a National Taiwan University surgery no matter what, but half an hour later, the door of the consulting room opened again.
He Minghan took off his mask, with a hint of exhaustion between his brows, he nodded slightly to them, and Jing Xing stood up and walked quickly to the consultation room.
Jing Rong was still in a coma, but his breathing was steady, and his face was no longer pale from excessive blood loss. His legs were hidden under the thin quilt, revealing a little white gauze.
"After resting for a while, you should be able to recover." He Minghan seemed confident.
"Thank you, Doctor He." Jing Xing's expression had returned to normal, and he thanked him politely.
He Minghan glanced at the scene on the bed, and frowned slightly: "He is..."
"We went to Hurricane Nest." Lin Mian didn't hide anything.
He Minghan's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this, and his tone became severe: "It's too dangerous, you are making fun of your own lives."
Seeing the disapproval on his face, Lin Mian hurriedly said, "I didn't know how bad Hurricane Nest was before, but now that Jing Rong is injured, we won't go there again."
Only then did He Minghan slow down his tone: "I know you want to leave here. Many people have tried this way in the past ten years, but they were all crushed by the hurricane."
As if afraid that they would not believe it, He Minghan sighed and continued: "My brother-in-law is one of them."
"Your brother-in-law?" Jing Rong's physical condition visibly stabilized, and Jing Xing's affection for He Minghan suddenly increased a lot.
Lin Mian remembered that He Minghan did mention that he had a younger sister before, and this younger sister was also dragged to the nameless island.
"About a year after going to the island, my younger sister Mingxi rescued a survivor of a shipwreck at the seaside and fell in love with him. The two got married soon. My brother-in-law seems to be a very well-known person in the outside world. So he always wanted to take my sister out of here.
One night he went to Hurricane Nest again, and when he came back, he was covered in wounds, like a bloody man. Mingxi was eight months pregnant at the time, and ran to me overnight to ask for help. Unfortunately, his brother-in-law was seriously injured. I tried my best but couldn't save him.Mingxi lost her lover and gave birth prematurely in grief.
At that time, the medical conditions on the island were very poor. The premature birth killed Ming Xi, and I lost two relatives overnight. "
He Minghan looked gloomy, Lin Mian didn't know how to comfort him, and heard him say, "It's a good thing that Mingxi left Xiaoyu behind, which is barely a bit of consolation to me."
He Yu?
"It turns out that Xiao Yu is Dr. He's nephew." Lin Mian's heart skipped a beat.
He Minghan smiled bitterly: "After Mingxi left, Rieman and I raised him. I was usually busy with work, and Rieman was not in good spirits. He had always neglected to take care of Xiaoyu, and Xiaoqi always liked to rely on how old he was. Bullying him, this kid has become more and more introverted and doesn't like to talk...Xiao Yu?!"
He Minghan was slightly taken aback.
Lin Mian followed his gaze. He Yu was standing at the stairs, quietly looking in the direction of the consulting room. When He Minghan called his name, the child turned and ran out the door.
"I'll take a look. It's almost early morning. You guys need to rest early. Mr. Jing Rong also needs to rest." He Minghan told his servant to arrange a room for them, and then hurriedly chased them out.
"Does Xiaoyu know her own background?" Lin Mian asked the servant leading the way.
The old woman nodded: "Wuming Island is the size of a palm, and everyone lives in a residential area. It is no secret that Master Xiao Yu's parents died."
Have you lost your parents since you were a child, and you are dependent on others, is that why you have been bullied by other children?
Lin Mian himself is also an orphan, but he met an old teacher, although life is hard, but the latter has always protected him very well, maybe because things hurt his kind, Lin Mian feels a little bit distressed that he is not yet eight child.
Two mermen were left behind to take care of Jing Rong at night, and the other three followed the servants upstairs. Lin Mian felt as if someone was watching her, and suddenly raised her head to meet a pair of eyes without focal length. The owner of the eyes seemed to have no idea He would bump into him and immediately get up, the snow-white skirt disappearing around the corner of the stairs.
"Is that you, madam?" the servant asked uncertainly, but got no response.
Lin Mian raised her eyebrows.
Suliman?
Doesn't she have dementia?Those who don't sleep at night hide here and peek at what they are doing?
The second floor takes the staircase as the central axis. On the left is the master bedroom of He Minghan and his wife and the bedrooms of the two children, and on the right is the guest room. The servant arranged the room according to He Minghan's instructions and left.
Lin Mian was going to wash up directly, but when she saw Wu Ting standing by the window thinking, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Wu Ting's brows condensed into a simple word: "I just felt a trace of evil spirit in He Minghan."
"When?" Lin Mian was taken aback.
"After he treated Jing Rong's injury." Wu Ting's slender fingers unconsciously tapped on the window sill, as if he couldn't figure it out, "but it disappeared after a while."
"Could it be contaminated from Jing Rong? After all, he shed so much blood." People and monsters tend to be infected with monsters after being in close contact for a long time. In the case of the theft in Jinyuan Community, Granny Deng and her It was because the granddaughter hadn't lived with Huazhishu for a long time that Wu Ting saw the clues.
Wu Ting squinted his eyes: "Perhaps, the trace of evil spirit is indeed very similar to that of the mermaid race."
"However, I think there are several strange things about He Minghan." Lin Mian sat on the edge of the bed, with a layer of doubt in his eyes.
"what?"
"According to the islanders, He Minghan's medical skills are so superb that he can even save the dead, but why did his sister and brother-in-law die a few years ago?" Lin Mian found this very strange, "Only An explanation——he only possessed the ability to bring people back to life later on, but on this isolated island far away from the world and relatively scarce in supplies, there really are such conditions that make
