Xie Zhe touched his luggage and thought of another more practical question. He adhered to the concept of "see no evil" and could not look up and down at the white foam, so he could only ask:
"I wonder if you have any clothes that can be changed. If you just jumped into the water, aren't your clothes soaked now?"
Could it be that the shark's love for water allowed her to ignore the inconvenience of wet clothes? Xie Zhe was a little confused and muttered in his heart.
In the light reflected by the water waves, Jiao Mo's expression changed slightly. She was still smiling, but her eyes became a little distant, as if she was looking at the sea of her hometown from a distance, or at the other end of a long period of time.
"This dress won't get wet. It's the silk thread woven by the Mermaids themselves, which allows us to move freely in the water. Even if humans wear the silk thread garment, they can breathe and swim freely underwater." She said gently.
He stroked the fabric on his body and said, "The silk will filter the air out of the water. However, it has to cover the upper body. It cannot be like me. Although I have a human body now, I can hold my breath for a stick of incense at will, which is more than enough."
.”
"Is it really so magical?" I don't know whether they are sighing at the ability to hold their breath or the magic of Xiao Yi.
"Have you ever wondered how Kanna-kun and I got acquainted? After all, he was still a human back then, but I was a mermaid in the sea."
Her eyebrows were crooked, and there was no trace of sadness. It was more like she was in a relaxed mood and was talking happily, and she was willing to share some old stories with them. Even though neither of them were gossips, since Jiao Mo was talking to herself
Han Zhang and Xie Zhe couldn't help but be aroused by this incident. Xie Zhe thought about it and asked tentatively:
"You said that silk clothes can allow humans to go into the water. Could it be that he accidentally got such silk clothes and went into the sea to get acquainted with you?"
"Kenwu-kun did borrow our silk clothes. But at the beginning, he accidentally fell into the sea." Jiao Mo told them with a smile.
Thousands of years ago, on the way to destroy the conspiracy of the evil god of the southern country, the still human Shen Wujun was framed and fell into the sea. At that time, Jiao Mo was still young. When she was playing in the sea, she accidentally bumped into this dying human being.
Even though she had heard many terrible rumors, and even in those days on the mainland, there were indeed evildoers who imprisoned and squeezed sharks like the Wuyong clan today, or skinned and refined oil, the simple girl was still more willing to believe in kindness - although she
I also feel that when I was a child, I was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers and was extremely bold.
. She rescued this man and brought him to the territory of the sharks. It was a dreamlike and beautiful sea area. Even if they could not see it with their own eyes, Han Zhang and Xie Zhe could get a glimpse of it from her narrative.
A fragment of the beautiful scenery. Colorful corals, various swimming fish, and other gleaming sea creatures...
However, the sharks living here have a knot in their minds. They once owned a clan treasure. After it was lost, the sharks seemed to have lost their cohesion, and many clan members were separated. The treasure also had the power to help the sharks.
A strange magic to walk on land, so no matter what
Are they young people who are full of blood and want to take back the treasure? Or are they older, who hope to use it to reconnect their tribesmen or have the ability to explore another world... They all hope to get that treasure back.
.With their strength, it is difficult to do this.
Although they met by chance, Kannau-kun and his companions came to help. They borrowed the shark's silk clothes and went to the dangerous sea area to find out for the sharks. Even though in the end they failed to bring help to the sharks,
After returning to Baobao, Jiao Mo and her family are still grateful for this friendship. When they said goodbye on the shore, Jiao Mo even represented the tribe and gave the most precious fabric of the sharks, the dragon yarn, to Kanna Wujun and his family.
Friends.
It was also at that time that the young and energetic Jiao Mo made a vow. One day, she would set foot on land and walk on the earth like Kanna Wu. By then, she would definitely find him.
"The vows made by young people may be impulsive, but they are still beautiful when I think about it now." Thousands of years later, Jiao Mo smiled softly and said to Han Zhang and Xie Zhe, "I didn't think too much at that time. I just relied on my courage.
Holding a shuttle,
I felt that I really dared to cut open the tail of the fish and leave the sea with Kanna-kun at that time. Even when I did this, my age in the sea was considered an old woman. By the way, you know the shark
The shuttle? All sharks
Human shuttles are made from the bones of relatives. We use them to weave shark's yarn, and if we want to go to the mainland, we also need to use it to cut the long tail and obtain human legs. Ten years ago, I used my mother's shuttle
The shuttle made of bones helped me become a human, and then I was able to land on this land on a coast... Well, I didn't know the name of that place at that time. Later on, I learned a lot about the customs and customs on land.
Only then did I know that area is called the Zanglan Sea."
Han Chang stiffened slightly.
"Zanglanhai? My former master is there."
He looked at the water, and his long hair was floating gently in the water, as pure as sea foam, which reminded him of the sea he had seen before, and all the beauty and sadness related to that sea.
"When I was studying under a teacher there, a good brother and I often went to the nearby beach, which might be where you landed. Later... one time I went to the beach alone, and when I came back, he was missing.
"
Xie Zhe patted his shoulder. Han Chang twitched the corner of his mouth and continued:
"At the beginning, I was looking for his traces, so I met Lao Xie and another girl on the road. She is the person we told you we were looking for. She... is very good, really
She is a very kind and lovely girl. If you meet her, you will definitely get along very well. I treat her like a sister, but now, she is lost, and the brother I was looking for has still not been found.
.Sometimes I feel that I really accomplish nothing."
Jiao Mo listened carefully to his story with a sympathetic look. She thought about it and asked with a frown:
"Could it be that the brother you mentioned is the one who disappeared without a trace after leaving Zanglanhai? The one... who is very famous..."
Xie Zhe coughed loudly. Jiao Mo immediately stopped and looked at Han Shang apologetically.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's not talk about this anymore." Han Chang turned his head away.
"I don't know much." Jiao Mo quickly comforted, "Everything is just hearsay after a long time. I hope that our journey will eventually lead to the destination we want."
"I hope so." If she doesn't leave, it will get dark today. Although Jiao Mo likes water, she doesn't really want to soak in it all day and night. Besides, she knows very well that her top priority is to follow these two new friends.
On their way. After all, they have really important things to do.
Around the end of Shenshi, a few people finally saw a town. They thought they were going to sleep in the wilderness, but they never thought that there was a small town of this size in such a remote place. When they saw the outline of the town on the horizon,
They are in high spirits
Vibrant, I can't help but yearn for it. Whether it's a bed under the shelter of the eaves, a steaming meal, or simply the noise of people's lives and conversations, travelers who have been trekking in the wilderness for a long time long for the smoke and fire of the world.
warmth.
To be said to be remote is not just as simple as being remote. Being remote is not a bad thing. It is a great luck to be located on their route. Furthermore, many remote towns have enthusiastic residents.
Simple people are happy to welcome rare guests from afar. They do not expect luxurious food and accommodation. As long as they have simple meals and a place, it is enough to make people feel comforted.
However, even this simple wish cannot be satisfied.
"I won't give you a place to stay, even if I say no, I can't even take money! Go, go, stay away from my house!"
With a bang, the door of another house was slammed in front of them. It was not accurate to say that, because the owner of this house only opened a thin crack in the door and looked out vigilantly. The refusal just now only closed the crack.
He pushed it back hard, but it was difficult for the door to make such a violent sound.
After being treated so rudely, there was no trace of anger on the faces of the three of them. What was more, it was the deep confusion that arose spontaneously after being treated so badly in just half an hour.
"Has this town... been robbed by bandits? Why are you so wary of outsiders?"
Hanshang stood in the middle of the street, looking around confusedly. Looking around, he saw that every house had its doors locked. Somewhat exaggeratedly, the doors were blocked with stone piers, iron rakes and other debris, saying it was to prevent thieves.
, especially not. It was still bright, but there was no one on the street. Only the smoke from each house showed signs that someone was living here.
Xie Zhe, who was standing at the door, sighed and withdrew his hand from knocking on the door. He no longer had any hope of staying in someone else's house and led the way to the center of the town, saying as he walked:
"No matter what they encounter, their attitudes are surprisingly unified. I'm afraid there is no hope of staying overnight. Maybe these families on the outskirts of the town are extra vigilant, maybe other families will be better. In any case, let's find a place to eat first, and then ask the store
.”
The saddest thing in the world is not not having it, but giving you a little hope of having it. In the end, your joy is all in vain. If this continues, it will be dark. After walking several streets, they still failed to achieve what they originally wanted.
A simple wish. There are indeed many restaurants on both sides of the road, but each one has its door closed or is empty.
At a glance, they could see that the interior was deserted and deserted. They tentatively walked into a few open stores, put their hands on the table, and their fingers were stained with a thin layer of dust. Obviously, they hoped that the store owner would only leave temporarily, just
It can only be a delusion. These stores have been abandoned for a long time, and they look like they have been abandoned.
