They have never really seen the divine pearl. They have only heard the legend. No one has seen the princess before she came of age. This time, the princess's coming-of-age ceremony can finally reveal her true appearance to everyone. No wonder these people are so excited.
The people beside me were chattering non-stop.
.....................
After a while, everyone quieted down, and the mermaids who had been discussing so enthusiastically just stopped talking. After a while, surrounded by a group of mermaids dressed the same way, a very gorgeously dressed mermaid came over.
, is particularly eye-catching among the mermaids. She is dressed in red and has a fish tail that is a bit larger than these ordinary mermaids. The entire fish tail is made of red scales that are indeed dazzling gold. Even the color of the hair is as red as fire.
A total of ten shiny pearl clams were added to the tail fin.
The princess's face was covered with a veil, but she still couldn't see clearly what her face looked like. At this moment, Fei Bai stumbled and fell to the bottom of the water. In the panic, all the water plants on our bodies fell off.
The mermaid looked at us in surprise and more fear. The scene was a bit uncontrollable. We tried to explain but no one was willing to listen and they all ran away. It seemed that we were very scary.
The princess began to look particularly helpless there. At this moment, a mermaid man who looked about middle-aged walked towards the princess. I clearly saw a sharp bone in the weapon in his hand. I felt that the situation was
No, the mermaid princess might be in danger. At the critical moment, I held the arm that stabbed the princess in the heart, pulled the princess and ran away. Xiaobai and Ye Qing also saw this scene, and followed me towards the fish school.
direction to escape.
We didn’t know how long we ran, but when we saw no one was following us, we stopped behind a large rock. We were tired and panting. At this time, this mysterious mermaid princess spoke.
"Why did you save me?"
"I saw that one who was going to assassinate you, so I couldn't just die without saving you, right?" However, the voice of this mermaid princess sounded so familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, and she could also speak human language. It was really magical.
"Can you speak human language?"
"Well, what are you doing in the water? I didn't expect that we, the mermaid tribe, have been hiding away from you humans for thousands of years, but we were still discovered by you."
"Why do you hide from us humans?"
"What do you think? We, the mermaid tribe, have been tortured continuously since we were discovered by greedy humans. So many legends about mermaids seem to be beautiful, but in fact, I don't know how many dirty humans have hurt me for their own selfish desires.
compatriots."
This mermaid princess told us many stories about humans and mermaids. Each story made me see the selfish humanity and the misery of mermaids.
Since the time of Qin Shihuang, mermaids have been discovered. In order to please Qin Shihuang, some officials began to pay tribute to the emperor. The emperor would only kill them and did not regard the lives of mermaids as lives. The lamp oil in the palace also used mermaid bodies.
Make mermaid paste and use it as a lighting candle.
Since mermaids began to be discovered and killed by humans, the mermaid clan has been completely hidden, hiding from the world to avoid being persecuted again. The ancestors of the mermaid clan warned these clansmen never to trust humans or fall in love with humans.
They are all demons, but there are still mermaids who can't bear their curiosity and see humans falling in love with each other. There is a particularly sad story among them.
Once upon a time, there was a little mermaid. She was the most beautiful among the mermaids when she just came of age. She was the daughter of the mermaid leader, the mermaid princess. She was attracted by the outside world and was always curious about what the outside world was like and wanted to know whether human beings
He looks the same as me. Will he also have a big and beautiful fish tail? So he secretly followed the river to the sea. There were many giant creatures coming and going in the sea. They had very sharp teeth and would kill those who were close to him.
Its fish were chewed up. In fact, the naive mermaid princess didn't know that it was a human ship.
In this way, the mermaid princess would sneak out to the ocean every now and then. One day, a big ship parked next to her. The weather was very good. There were many mermaids on it who looked similar to her, but they had no tails, only two like
With something like a stick, a very handsome man attracted the mermaid.
He looked completely different from the male mermaids in the water. His skin was not that white. His whole body was black, like wheat. When the sun hit the man's body, a special feeling rippled in his heart.
She looked at the man and felt so happy.
At this time, when I looked down at the golden fish tail that I was proud of, I felt a little inferior. How could I have two stick-like tails like that? I heard that those are what humans call legs. The mermaid went back home to rectify them.
I longed for that man, and later I learned a secret that could turn my fish tail into beautiful legs, but I had to pay a price, that is, my eyes would not be able to see the light, and I would be in darkness from now on. I would not be able to get my father and relatives back.
If you forgive me, you will never go back to the bottom of the water again.
But she chose to have legs without hesitation, even if she needed to be blind. She also had to face the responsibilities of her family. But at this moment, the mermaid princess was so fanatical that she didn't care about anything and just wanted to find the one who made her soul wholeheartedly.
An upside-down man, the mermaid princess knows that she has fallen in love.
On the last day when her legs became weak, she crossed the sea again, but this time the situation was not very good. The weather became bad, the wind was strong, the ship began to rock, and soon there was a violent storm, and everyone on the ship began to change.
I have to panic, be extremely frightened.
That man seemed to be a crew member. He was also caught off guard by this situation. Finally, the whole ship capsized in the deep sea. Everyone would die here, including the man. The little mermaid had seen it before.
In many such shipwreck scenes, she knew that no one would survive. Once they fell into the water, they would fall asleep in the sea. Human beings are different from mermaids. After they fall asleep, they will be eaten by the fish in the sea.
in stomach.
But she couldn't let the man die. She hadn't turned into a human yet, and she had already made up her mind to give up her identity as a mermaid for him. The mermaid princess watched the man fall into the sea, and swam hard into the sea to save the man who had fainted.
After dragging it up, the man was very heavy, so I used all my strength to swim outside.
Finally, she finally swam out of the stormy sea and put the man on the shore. After watching him try and still breathe, the mermaid relaxed herself and looked at him for a long time, wanting to see how he woke up, but
But a fisherman came over, and he hurried away. From a distance, he saw the fisherman rescue the man, and then he went home.
When she got home, the mermaid princess couldn't stand it any longer, so she immediately turned her beautiful fish tail into legs. However, this was an extremely painful process, and she needed to use sharp fish bones to cut her legs.
The tail was cut open and divided into two halves, and then some magical powder was sprinkled on it. These powders would corrode his fish scales and leak out the flesh and blood, making him drip with blood instantly.
The mermaid princess couldn't bear the pain and fainted. When she woke up, she saw her father looking at her. She felt distressed and angry. The mermaid princess didn't dare to face her father. She broke her father's heart just because of a man. But her father didn't.
What to say, I just left a message for the mermaid princess to let her think clearly and don’t regret it. Human beings are unreliable. Once you make a choice, you can never return to the water.
The mermaid princess didn't know how to answer her father, but she had already decided in her heart that she must turn into a human and walk on land, otherwise she would not have endured such great pain. This kind of pain of cutting flesh and skin is not that simple.
, this is heartbreaking pain.
The mermaid princess who lost her sight asked her father to put her on the shore where she saved the man. Her father agreed to her, but she did not say goodbye to her father again. She had no face to talk to her father anymore.
