Vol 2 Chapter 264: [Ending 5] Man and Mermaid (Part 2)

The sea is vast, and the icy blue sea from a distance looks closer, but it is green and gray. Because it is a fishing bay, the water here is not as clear as a tourist city, but it is exceptionally clean.
Kerry sat on the bow of the boat, watching the sun shining on the sea, scattered bits and pieces, like a light spot.
With a soft sigh, a glass suddenly appeared in the sight, which was filled with sweet amulets.
"People who go out to sea don't drink Emu wine, it's equivalent to going out to sea!" Uncle smiled and shoved into his hands, sitting beside him, said: "Look at this sea, we have lived here all our lives, this Oh, I’m tired of it."
Kerry was silent for a while and said, "But everyone likes the sea very much."
"Yeah, it's because I have watched my life that I can't live without the sea." Uncle took a sip of Emu: "Sometimes, we all believe that the sea is human."
Kerry looked at the uncle lightly and listened.
"I followed the fishermen to the sea for ten years and took them to the sea for forty years. Next year I will be sixty. I have followed the boat since I was a child. But it was the first time I encountered foggy weather like this month."
"I don't think this is ordinary fog. It may want to pass me and tell you some answers."
"Although my instincts are not very accurate, but this time, I feel that I can't get rid of mermaids."
"Even if it is not Mr. Qi Yan, as long as he meets the mermaid, what can he inquire about?"
Uncle's words drummed in Kerry's heart. Yeah, he was so excited, as if determined, the mermaid singing in the thick fog was like Qi Yan...
The mood when he first boarded the ship was gone, and the only light left in the ashes was his only hope.
The uncle led the fleet and sailed towards the sea reef in his impression while fishing. It was found that the sea reef was thick with fog. At this moment in the cloudless sunny day, it was difficult to find.
"Don't be discouraged, we have many days." Uncle comforted Kerry: "Even if I don't do anything a day, it is very difficult to find that place on the sea alone."
Kerry knew that the uncle was comforting himself. He nodded and did not speak.
The uncle sighed and said, "Maybe I shouldn't have given you so many expectations... But I'm just kind, Kerry, please don't blame me if there is no result."
"No, uncle." Kerry said: "The town took me and Qi Yan, and we are too late to be grateful."
"Oh, that's an old thing, but also mention what it does. You are not ours, but like us, they are part of this small town."
Kerry smiled, a trace of desolation in his eyes.
At this time, if Qi Yan was present, it would be more perfect.
"Uncle!" Suddenly a call from the sailor came in the distance. Uncle nodded at Kerry and hurried over.
Kerry turned his head, and the sparkling sea looked like a quiet child at the moment. He could not hear the sound of the waves without approaching the beach.
This sea is a bit scary and quiet.
Kerry stared into the distance, and there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, stepping heavily on the sound of the wooden boat.
"Kerry! Come on! We have found the sea reef!"
This sentence broke into Kerry's ear, and he stood up suddenly, almost unsteady, and leaned back.
"You are slower!" Uncle came over to support him: "Come on, we found that sea reef!"
"Is it true?" Kerry asked, a little uneasy in her heart.
"Of course, such a large piece of sea reef, only in this place." Uncle took Kerry to the position of the bow of the ship, and looked from afar, on the edge of the sea, stood a piece of black and gray reef.
Perhaps it was an illusion that Kerry music could hear the intermittent singing floating in his ears. He glared and listened carefully to the source of the song.
"Uncle, is there singing..."
"I can hear a little too." Uncle said: "Kerry, why don't you get off in a boat. The reef is too dense, and the big boat can't enter, it's easy to touch the reef. I will accompany you to get off the boat."
Kerry did not understand the waterway and would not row a boat, so he agreed with the uncle's proposal.
Uncle and Kerry and two other sailors got out of the boat, and quickly lined towards the reef. Soon a large piece of reef was in front of him. Kerry looked at the pieces of reef and was shocked for a while.
This is a reef that has never been seen. It is connected in a line and seems to be naturally formed, but the shape is too peculiar, more like intentional. The boat was walking against the reef, and could not go deeper, Kerry could only watch outside.
I don't know what happened. The singing seems to be gone, even the faint voice is gone.
Kerry was a little disappointed. Wasn't it the singing here... or what natural wonder would the singing from other places come through the reef?
The boat made a circle around the reef, and there was nothing strange about it. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the uncle began to prepare to return.
"We have to go back to the big ship." Uncle said to Kerry: "The sea at night is too dangerous. Let's come again tomorrow."
Kerry frowned, suddenly shouting in the direction of the reef: "Qi Yan--!"
The echo on the sea rippled, but there was no other response.
Kerry was not reconciled and shouted again, but there was no response.
Finally, he gave up and sat desperately in the corner of the boat with his desperate heart.
"I miss you so much..." Qi Yan.
Why is it gone? Do you hate me? What should I do, I want to imprison you in that crystal coffin again...
The boat was about to go back. Suddenly, there was a sound from the depths of the reef that did not belong to the waves. It sounded like something fell into the water.
Kerry raised his head sharply, looking deep into the dark rock.
"Qi Yan?"
There was another splash of water, and Kerry couldn't help but jumped into the sea at once, ready to swim through the cracks in the reef.
The uncle and the two sailors met and yelled at him quickly, but to no avail. The uncle sighed and let one of the sailors jump into the sea, following Kerry, and make no mistake.
There is a lot of space inside the reef, and it looks like a cage woven by thorns from the outside.
After entering, Kerry discovered that the space inside seemed to be quarantined, and it was difficult to breathe, and the moment he just went deep into the sea, he found that the roots of the reef were not visible at all. The entrance he swam in was just a gap That's it.
Stumble inside the reef, and sometimes even step on the reef in the sea, it can be seen that this is a very large natural reef.
Floating in the water, Kerry whispered, "Qi Yan?"
"...Kerry..."
The weak voice was like a bell on the clock tower, knocking deeply in Kerry's heart.
"Qi Yan! Where are you?!"
"Kerry... I'm stuck here..." Qi Yan's voice was particularly weak.
"What should I do, how can I save you?" Kerry floated in the water, and vaguely could see the ice-blue fish tail surging from the small gap in the reef.
"I can't...can't move now." Qi Yan's voice was weak like a baby: "Kerry, go back first..."
"No!" Kerry's voice was crying: "I miss you so much...I really miss you."
"I'm sorry...I miss you too." Qi Yan's voice was deep: "I've been stuck here for eight days...I'm thinking, when will you come to save me..."
After hearing this, Kerry's tears finally fell unstoppably.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late..."
How long can the love between a person and a mermaid last, and what is used to maintain it, even Kerry and Qi Yan are not sure.
In fact, if Qi Yan hadn't been back for so long, Kerry could find another person he liked.
After leaving Kerry, Qi Yan can also completely leave this place and choose another place that suits him to survive.
But he was waiting hard, and he hurried back, but was flooded into this reef in the tide, trapping himself like a cage.
One's power cannot break the reef.
However, many people can.
As I said before, reefs are formed naturally, with too many gaps and small holes, like nest coal. As long as they touch hard, they can quickly break a larger gap.
The uncle led the people on the big boat, and in just one night, he broke the reef endlessly.
Qi Yan was able to come out. He was originally in the reef in the middle. After the breach, he quickly swam out. The unsupported reef collapsed in his free moment and smashed a huge splash in the sea.
"Kerry!"
Kerry hasn't had time to express his joy, he has been deeply embraced by Qi Yan.
"Kerry, I'm sorry to worry you." Qi Yan, who has always been indifferent, made such a move and left Kerry stunned.
For a long time, he embraced Qi Yan deeply, as if to integrate him into his body.
"Don't leave me anymore."
Leave me again, I don't know what will be done.
When Qi Yan returned, everyone was very happy, and the town seemed to have returned to the original scene. Although it was always lively, some of the stones in the heart were finally gone.
In the morning, Qi Yan opened his eyes and saw Kerry's sleeping face and smiled.
[I want to keep you by my life. 】
[I just want to stay with you all my life. 】
