Chapter 78:

He accidentally glanced at Siren's fish tail and immediately became embarrassed.
"Always wait until the tide rises, and then, ah no, I mean him or not, I mean the former dolphins ..." The young man was helpless, humming, "" Dolphins rarely come to us , Because there are not many fish, but when they appear, it is a good sign, indicating that the school of fish is migrating here, and when they go fishing at sea, they find the school of fish! "
Xia Yi involuntarily thought of the cute little guy.
Unfortunately, he didn't know where to go afterwards. Siren only said that he asked Abisher to return it.
That's right, dolphins are all playing in groups. Even if they can keep it, the little ones love to toss so much that they will be lonely without a playmate.
But Siren's expression was a bit subtle.
Dolphins eat a lot of food. They chase fish. Although they like to be close to humans, the South Pacific is a famous maritime desert. There are even tens of thousands of miles of water that are scarcely deep blue water. There are also many people on the archipelago who hunt and kill dolphins because they think they are robbing food. This island called Anuta ... is really interesting.
"Last time there was a sperm whale stranded here ... Ah, this is also a gentle after the hurricane!"
Dolphins and whales are mammals. Although they can't die for a while and a half after leaving the sea, but the whale is too big. Firstly, it can't bear its own weight after leaving the sea.
"It's useless to water, and it's too big and heavy, we can't move it, and finally ..."
Xia Yi listened silently, and just now felt inexplicably sad, the young man's tone turned cheerful again:
"In the end it was still dead, and people across the island ate for several days before finishing."
"..."
Xia Yi was terrified and speechless.
Siren feels normal. Of course, marine life floats in the sea after death. Generally, it will not eat the same kind, but in the end, the corpse will be eaten by other creatures, and trying to rescue other creatures in the end is not successful. Isn't it normal to eat the body? Killing is for survival, killing wantonly rather than for food is wrong.
However, mermaids are more discerning. Siren does not eat any dead food, but only hunts for delicious live food.
Siren looked at Xia Yi from a side angle. The only thing he knew was that if Xia Yi really wanted to leave, he would never see himself again since then, or be more intimate with other humans than himself ...
Mermaids will drag their loved ones to the bottom of the sea, and they will not let go of their bodies, or they will never be completely separated. Some mermaids in the past have done such terrible and cruel things.
Love is great, but love is also terrifying.
"Is he ... a mermaid?" The young man didn't notice it, still excited.
Xia Yi did not answer. In fact, he has also said a few mood particles, and this young man is always talking.
"I've heard many mermaid stories. The ones on the sea, yes, they're completely different from what you wrote." He couldn't help but glance at Siren again, the densely arranged pale silver scales, "those white People with skin always say that we are joking, and that even mermaids are beautiful, good-tempered ... haha, mermaids are really beautiful. Everywhere stories are said to be beautiful, but the temper is really bad. "
His words were anxious, and the tone was strange, which made most of Xia Yi, who did n’t understand English while watching translation and production, only capture a few words, that is, the story, mermaid, beautiful, temper. The worst thing is that this guy has strange rhetoric. He doesn't use what looks good. He can only emphasize it repeatedly with the simplest words.
"A mermaid has appeared in New Caledonia, her hair and eyes are as blue as sea water, she is a beauty, her skin is white, and she sinks the Spanish boat ... It ’s terrible, there is still deep on the floating body Deep paw prints, four blood arcs ... "
Because this paragraph may have been described many times with people outside the island, it has drifted away a lot. Xia Yi's heart was tight and he turned his head to look at Siren.
【what happened? 】
[All right ...]
Xia Yi knew that Siren couldn't understand human language, but this feeling of firmness suddenly and hesitated and shaken was very bad, and reason overwhelmed the feelings again. He thought weirdly that if Siren saw the same kind, In particular, it's still the same--
In English, he is a word different from her, and Xia Yi listens very delicately and stingily.
"... the scars of the corpses are on the neck and in the chest ... so if we catch a big fish with such scars, we know that it has touched a mermaid ..." The young man looked at Siren, and looked at Xia Yi, " So we all thought you were attacked by a mermaid before moving you away. We were still nervous when you approached. You do n’t dare to get too close to it, uh no. I mean he ... behind you The wound looked scary, although it wasn't bleeding ... "
He was stuttered. Obviously the mermaids used to call it before, but I did n’t expect that mermaids could pronounce a name out loud, so it seems a bit wrong to use
it
in front of Siren. About mermaids To put it bluntly, even if the people on the island believe it, they have their own degrees. Only those old people believe that mermaids can communicate.
Xia Yi didn't know what this person was thinking, he was still stunned, and suddenly he couldn't control himself.
"Where's that mermaid you're talking about? New Caledonia ..." The name is a bit familiar, but after all, it's English. Xia Yi thought of it several times, slowly thinking from around Australia, then suddenly frowned.
The archipelago is on the other side of the Coral Sea.
"Where has she been? It wasn't ... I mean a white man or another ship? What about the dead Spanish crew? Did the international community cover this up?"
"Oh, no!" The young man scratched his head, "It was 70 years ago!"
Xia Yi was still there, because he didn't want to understand, and he asked the matter blurtly, whether he wanted Siren to find his kind, or was he prepared to avoid the sea.
"Caucasian later brought the army to investigate, because she didn't catch her, and the corpse rotted, and it was felt that the people on the island had killed it, as if it was very bad at the time ... Later, people like us who heard the story thought Go find it, but no one has seen it again ... "He said in a tone and hurriedly excited." But we just know that mermaids definitely exist. I went out. Many people on the island have different stories about mermaids. And they all have bad tempers and are very fierce. It is said that even sharks are not afraid ... "
The young man spread his hands and made an exaggerated gesture.
Siren couldn't understand, he just felt that Xia Yi's mood was a bit wrong.
The naked and clean arms touched Xia Yi's legs from the bottom, and the sharp nails and translucent slightly spread fins on the wrist appeared suddenly on Xia Yi's wheat-colored skin, with clear joints. The paleness was still terrifying. The young man took a cold breath. He raised his eyes to see the cold chill of Senren in the purple eyes of Siren.
After a shake, the man turned haha ​​and ran away.
"and many more!"
"No ... high tide!"
More than a dozen people shouted the horn to launch a weird-looking ship.
If it is a canoe, it is slightly higher, that is, three large trunks, and then it crosses and binds a hollowed out thicker trunk, and there are thinner trunks that extend out on both sides, like scaffolding, upward There were also three mast-like things standing.
As a result, the crowd talked, and finally the young man was pushed out by everyone. It was very distressed:
"Well, can you move it?"
The answer is obvious. Xia Yi looked down at Siren:
[They said to send us back to the sea! 】
[No need! 】
Even if Siren felt that these people were no longer hostile, under the shake of the sense of crisis, he still wanted Xia Yi to leave quickly, but he couldn't have more relationship with these people, lest the next few tuna could not be solved!
[You can completely roll the sea water! 】
[I know, but—]
Xia Yi looked at the children who were still lying on the ground digging shells and picking up small crabs, and it was okay: [That's also their food, the waves rolled over, but it is very likely that this large piece will fall from the hurricane tornado. Herring washed away with shells. 】
[……]
After the last few people leaned in, Xia Yi knew that Siren's fish tail was sensitive, so bearing back pain, he simply held Siren's fish tail, and successfully lifted him to the weird canoe. .
Although the process was short and took less than a minute, when Siren's arms and shoulders contacted humans, they still had irresistible stiffness, staring at them with a poor expression, which put these people under great pressure and cold sweat rolled their heads.
But after that, the crowd was talking and laughing, hating the horn to push down the boat along the gentle slope, probably as they say, often run the stranded dolphins like this, very familiar with the speed soon rushed to the beach .
Xia Yi looked back, and happened to see a child picking up the scales that had fallen before Siren, holding up his hand and running away with a smile, and behind him was a group of children who were unwilling to chase after them. Then the ship was pushed into the sea, and several people jumped in handily, picking up the oars. Just start to move forward.
Because the sea wind is still very strong, I dare not go too far, and the canoe stopped at a depth of about seven or eight meters. Xia Yi stood up and jumped into the sea. This action scared the oars, and then a wave surged to bring the Siren into the sea. The man holding the paddle was pushed back to the land by the waves strangely. Still open his mouth closed.
The waves on the sea are two or three meters high, and the sky is overcast with heavy rain.
Looking at the sea in the distance, the crowds surrounding the shore were a little faint. They sent the mermaid back to the sea. Why did the human go? Or did you jump into the sea yourself?
84. Resting temporarily
Anuta Island is on the other side of the Coral Sea. The power of the hurricane has taken them off. Although the scattered reefs around the island are not as beautiful as the coral reefs, there are still many small fishes shuttled in them and take root deeply. The seaweeds waved back and forth along the waves. Xia Yi saw a broken palm tree floating on the sea. The leaves were floating and sinking in the sea. The wind was blowing farther and farther away from the island. There was a little on the leaves. The dark shadows passed by.
Xia Yi glanced out of the sea.
It turned out to be a small lizard with brown-green body all over it. It clung to the wood firmly on its limbs, bulging eyes staring at Xia Yi, and panicked to step back, and finally grunted into the sea .
It desperately tossed in the sea water and turned up a small splash, which is still the standard dog planing style.
Uh, does a lizard also swim?
Coincidentally a sea came over and took a picture of this unlucky little guy.
The lizard desperately moved its limbs, but its strength was limited, and its body was still suitable for crawling. Looking at the distance from the sea surface, it was drawn into the rolling water waves on the sea and turned into a halo, straight. Sink straight down.
Xia Yi reached out and picked it up, and put it back on the floating palm tree.
The little lizard lay on its face for a long time, suddenly spraying a stream of water from its mouth, the limbs twitched, turned over again, hiding in the middle of the wet leaves, and never dared to approach Xia Yi.
[There are no other islands near here! 】
Xia Yi looked back at Anuta Island and stared at the gray sky again.
[They all migrate like this. In the ocean, except for hurricanes and tornadoes, they can only lie on the trunk and let the sea water take them to a new island or continent ... unlike humans, fresh water is needed. 】
Siren returned to the sea, and buoyancy could help him move easily without disturbing his injury.
The rain is getting heavier, and there is a trend towards heavy rain.
What can a lizard eat when drifting at sea? With so many leaves, there should be a small fish or shrimp close to the curious 啃啃, shrimp should be a delicious meal.
Xia Yi didn't say anything. He watched the palm tree drift away in the storm.
