The fish are no different. They can only live in the depths of the pool. It will take a hundred years for them to turn into human heads, and in another hundred years, they will all be transformed into human forms. As for when they can speak human language, this is It depends on one's own good fortune and practice. It can be as short as a hundred years and as long as a thousand years. In the mermaid family, there are mermaids who have been born for thousands of years and cannot speak human words.
Unfortunately, the little mermaid's mother died the moment she was born.
The little mermaid turned into a human body is extremely beautiful, not to mention males of the same race, it can attract a large group of creatures wherever she goes. Faced with all kinds of temptations, the little mermaid was never moved until one day a hundred years later, when she went When he was diving to the surface, he saw a young man in white. He was squatting by the side of the pool and washing his face with his hands. The little mermaid's sudden emergence of water shocked him a lot.
But he quickly regained his composure, stood up, and looked at the little mermaid in the water.
The little mermaid has never seen other humanoid creatures other than the mermaid race: mortals, gods, she looks at the man in front of her curiously, there is no such good-looking male in her mermaid family, he is tall and straight, and his facial features are unusually beautiful. , There was a cold breath all over his body, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance. The little mermaid thought it smelled very good, and it was not until later that he knew that it was the breath of plum blossoms. Before that, the little mermaid had never had any fantasies about the opposite sex. When seeing the young man in white, the little mermaid's fantasies about the opposite sex were all like the young man in white.
"I don't know that the girl is bathing here, I don't mean to offend the girl." When the young man in white said this, he turned his back to the little mermaid.
The little mermaid found his words amusing. In an instant, he turned into a human form, with legs and feet, and came out in fiery red clothes, standing beside the young man in white, giggling.
The young man in white turned his face and was shocked to see her fully dressed in front of him.
The little mermaid saw that he was carrying a bronze-colored sword with delicate flowers carved on the hilt. Out of curiosity, he couldn't help reaching out to touch it.
The young man in white took two steps back vigilantly, avoiding her touch.
The little mermaid was angry and muttered, "I'm so stingy, I won't let you touch it."
The young man in white said in a low voice, "If this sword is not sheathed, it may hurt the girl."
The little mermaid thought he was bragging. She had heard from the race about swords, swords, and swords, and knew that only when unsheathed could become a weapon for fighting, but she was not angry, who made him look good.
"Girl... Only can I get dressed in such a short time... I must be either a elf or a fairy." When the young man in white said, his eyes swept across the little mermaid's face and quickly left.
The little mermaid remembered that when he was in the water just now, he was still in the shape of a human head, with no clothes on, and then looked up at the young man in white, only to find that his ears were red, "What did you see just now?"
"I didn't see anything." The young man in white turned his face, but the scene of pool water swaying in front of her chest and her flawless skin appeared in his mind, so he tried his best to stop himself from thinking about it.
The little mermaid smiled and said, "I'm an elf, so what are you?"
The young man in white bowed his head and said, "It's not well known in the world, it's not worth mentioning."
"Then why are you here?"
"Passing down the mountain, I was attracted by the scenery in this mountain, so I walked in. Why did the girl appear alone in this mountain?"
"I'm an elf who grew up here." The little mermaid said with a smile.
The young man in white was very smart, and when he looked at her from head to toe, he could guess her race. "Are you a mermaid?"
The little mermaid's clear eyes glowed with joy: "I won't tell you."
The young man in white smiled and was about to continue to answer, but when he saw something moving in the grass not far ahead, he immediately clenched the hilt of the sword.
The little mermaid has a keen sense of hearing, and has already heard the movement in the grass. He picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it with his hand.
Immediately, a tiger-like beast jumped out of the grass, but its head was like a vicious dog. It barked its teeth and grinned at the young man in white. Its body was white and its tail was like a horse.
The little mermaid had never seen such an ugly creature before, and was not frightened at all. Unexpectedly, the beast arched its body and swooped towards them. Before the little mermaid could react, only the young man in white raised his unsheathed sword. , the white light flickered from the scabbard,
The ugly fell.
The little mermaid couldn't help but exclaimed.
The young man in white said lightly, "There's a group behind."
As soon as the voice fell, a group of ugly monsters appeared one after another in the grass, all with fierce expressions.
The little mermaid was a little flustered now. "Can you beat this group?"
"It's hard to say." The young man in white was ready to draw his sword at any time.
"If you can't beat him, don't you run?" The little mermaid quickly grabbed the hand of the young man in white and jumped into the pool with him. He never thought that the young man in white would be able to swim.
The water in the pool was extremely clear, and the sun shone into the depths of the pool all the time, hitting the little mermaid and the young man in white. The little mermaid only knew how to swim forward, but didn't notice that his fish tail gradually appeared in the water. , spread out like fiery red satin, and her black hair, flowing in the water like a lush yarrow. The little mermaid remembered that there was another exit from the pool, and from there, it should have avoided the group of ugly monsters.
"Look, it's almost there." The little mermaid pointed to the water above, turned her head and said, the face of the young man in white is close at hand, the little mermaid admired his facial features in the shortest distance and the eyelashes are really long, little mermaid She wanted to reach out and touch it, but at this time, she saw through the flowing water waves that not only the ears of the young man in white were red this time, but his neck was also red.
The young man in white first looked away and took the little mermaid to swim towards the water. When the water surfaced, the young man in white untied the ties between the two and went ashore first.
The little mermaid transformed into a human shape and went ashore.
The young man in white avoided facing her face-to-face. As soon as she came over, he turned his back to her. The little mermaid was puzzled and asked, "Do you hate me? Why do you have to turn your back on me?"
The young man in white said: "The sun is going down soon, I have to go, thank you girl for saving you." Although the group of yu beasts were not a threat to him at all, he could cut them off with a few swings of his sword. .
The little mermaid immediately asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go to Beixiao Mountain, find a bird called pan mao, tame it, and let it lead it across a river called Xianshui, so as to find Qiongze where Xianshui joins."
The little mermaid was a little dizzy. "Why did you find Qiongze?"
The young man in white didn't answer. He looked back at the little mermaid and asked, "Are you mermaids in... Are there any special rules?"
The little mermaid shook his head: "I don't understand very well, what are the regulations?"
The young man in white lowered his head and looked at the grass and said, "For example, in the mortal world, it is stipulated that men and women should not kiss each other. If a woman holds hands with a man, or if a woman has no clothes, her body will be seen by men..." He raised his eyes and looked at the little mermaid and continued. : "The man needs to bear the consequences for his indecent behavior."
The little mermaid showed an innocent smile: "Without these regulations, the mermaid family lives in the water and doesn't need to wear clothes."
The young man in white hesitated to speak, frowned, and finally took out a hairpin from the back of his head and handed it to the little mermaid: "Thank you for saving me, I will give this to the girl. I wonder if the girl has anything to give to the next one. If we meet for a while, why don't we exchange tokens, maybe we can meet again in the future..."
The little mermaid hurriedly lowered her head to look around, and found that she only had one thing in exchange for her body. It was the colorful bracelet on her arm, but she couldn't bear to give it to him, because it was the only relic left by her mother. Finally, she had an idea and pulled out a fish scale for him.
The young man in white took the fish scales and left without looking back.
The little mermaid watched him disappear under the setting sun, and a burst of loss suddenly hit his heart.
get along
The little mermaid would float up to the water and look at it for a while every day. For some reason, in just a few days, she lost interest in everything else, and her mind was full of looking forward to seeing the young man in white. I don't know why I'm so lost, unless I don't allow myself to be free, otherwise, as soon as I'm free, when I see the hairpin he left for her and stroke the plum blossom pattern on it, I can't help thinking of him.
The little mermaid began to find some other fun for himself, such as swimming under the waterfall, teasing the flying fish, climbing the shore to pick flowers and weaving garlands, and then summoning various birds to play with him, the little mermaid did not know why these birds would Listen to her own words, because other mermaids of the same family can't do it, but she is not interested in exploring the reason.
Once tired from playing with birds, she was lying on the grass, looking at the deep blue sky, and suddenly remembered what the young man in white had said the day he left: "Go to Beixiao Mountain, find a bird called Panjang, and tame it. It..." The little mermaid sat up suddenly from the grass. Taming a bird called Panqi, maybe she can be of any help.
Thinking of this, the little mermaid was very excited. Although the bottom of the pool was where their merman race lived all the year round, the little mermaid had nothing to worry about there, because her mother died after giving birth to her, and she never I have seen my father, but I don't know who my father is, and the elders in my race don't know the whereabouts of my father. One is to find my father, the other is my own yearning for the world outside Qingyao Mountain, and the third is for To help the young man in white tame Panji, the little mermaid quietly left Qingyao Mountain and set foot on the road to the north.
