Meimei and Ash entered the sea, and the rolling waves reflected the night, hiding their figures.
I hope that by this time, Meimei will wake up. When there is no story to tell, it is the time when the protagonist’s life is finally as peaceful as that of ordinary people, but Meimei has not woken up.
Her dream continues.
The fire in the coconut grove had already ignited the vegetation on the island, and illuminated the night sky on the small island bloody red. Amid the billowing black smoke, the female pirate dragged Aji with one hand and the head of the male pirate with the other. Chased out of the coconut grove.
Her face was burnt, and her clothes were also torn, so her expression was extremely ferocious, and the breath from her nostrils made her nostrils open angrily, making her look like an enraged beast.
The male pirate in her hand was also yelling loudly: "Kill them! Kill them!"
The female pirate almost dragged A Ji, who had fallen down because she couldn't keep up, to the front of her: "Give me a sense of your brother's direction! I might kill you!"
My heart sank, and I saw A Ji's bloodshot eyes looked as terrifying as hell's demons under the moonlight.
He pointed forward with his hand, which happened to be the direction where Meimei and the others fled, and he said, "Here, we are diving."
The mermaid brothers can even sense each other's direction!
When I was shocked, I saw the female pirate throw the male pirate's head aside, and pulled out a gun from behind with one hand. There were dozens of long arrows on the gun, and she said "boom" in the direction A Ji pointed. " and pulled the trigger.
Those long arrows immediately rushed to the sky, exploded in the sky, and divided into countless tiny silver needles, like raindrops under the moonlight? They plunged into the sea, and after a while, the fish that had been pierced turned their bellies on the sea floated up.
That needle...is it poisonous
"Old witch!" I turned my head and shouted, but found that the old witch didn't come out with me, and there was only a black shadow standing beside the coconut grove: "李恩恩李怪恩!" I shouted his name loudly and waved at him, " I want to go to the sea! Is there a way to go?"
Li Dangdang ignored me.
My heart was hardened, thinking that this was a beautiful dream, anyway, I would not die in it, so I buried my head and rushed into the sea, just after I caught up with the fading waves, a man's hand grabbed my waist.
"Don't mess around." His deep voice sounded in my ear.
"I… "
"I'll take you."
His voice is steady and very powerful, especially at night, the hormones that belong to him instantly stimulated my nerves.
I lost my voice for a moment.
It was at this moment that Li Dangdang said the next sentence: "Go back and pay the labor fee."
"..."
I yelled at him: "You are moving! Take me down!"
As soon as the voice fell, Li Dangdang led me to move without saying a word. After a moment of strong wind, the surrounding environment changed suddenly. There was no beach, no coconut groves, and the crystal clear sea water filled my world.
Groups of fish swim above my head against the moonlight, and the reflection of fish scales makes the moonlight softer but broken.
All the beautiful secrets covered by the sea were held in front of my eyes.
I don't have time to marvel at the magic of the world, and I don't have time to look at the rare beauty around me. I hold my breath, trying to find the figures of Meimei and Ash when I can hold my breath.
"Don't hold back like a puffer fish." Li Dangdang said.
I looked at him in surprise, this guy can still breathe and talk in the sea!
"This is just a dream, don't be fooled by the appearance dreamed by the dream master."
He said, I tried to open my mouth, I saw air bubbles escaping from my mouth, but I didn't feel the sea water pouring into my throat, I tried to breathe, and it was exactly as Li Dangdang said, This is just the appearance of a dream, I am here, and I can still breathe as if I am on land.
Knowing that I would not drown, I let go of my heart and began to look around for Meimei and Axu.
Li Dangdang seemed to be unable to stand the state of me bumping around like a headless chicken. He pinched my chin, twisted my head to the right, and lifted it up. I saw two figures obliquely above me.
It's Meimei and the others, but they don't swim fast.
The first wave of silver needles had already been used up, and they seemed to have missed them, but Meimei's cut fish tail had affected her speed, and Xu was not much better, his injuries would not be less serious than Meimei's.
It's hard for me to imagine, if it was me, someone cut a long cut in my thigh, tore the muscle, and the injury was so deep that the bone was visible. In such a situation, how would I walk.
But they are still "walking", because they can only "walk" in this way.
"Meimei, you must work hard." I whispered to cheer her up. Li Dangdang looked at me, but did not speak.
A Xu held Meimei's hand and said, "The sea water is so gentle."
They spoke the language of mermaids in the sea, but perhaps because it was a beautiful dream, I understood their words.
"Yeah, this is our home. We're going home." Meimei was smiling, and my heart softened, and finally I saw her smile, so beautiful, so touching, so gentle.
However, her laugh stopped suddenly.
The silver needles came overwhelmingly again, like a violent storm in the sea. Meimei swung her severed tail with all her strength, endured the severe pain and went underwater. She pulled A Xu: "Swim down quickly, hide in the deep !"
She couldn't swim, because A Xu pulled her back and stood on top of her, holding her so thin body in his arms, his chest and shoulders seemed to be her sky.
Meimei's eyes were wide open, she couldn't see Axu, but she probably heard Axu laughing softly in her ear.
As if sensing something, Meimei's body trembled a little: "Swim." She urged him, with a crying voice, "Let's go downstream. Don't give up, we're going home, we're all going home."
"Meimei." A Xu said, so gentle, neither slow nor ill, as if the crisis had passed, as if the sea water had become brighter, as if the silver needles that shuttled around them were no longer scary. It was like a shooting star, existing to embellish their most beautiful moment.
"You're right, the sea is so beautiful." Ash said, "I've been afraid all my life, and now I don't have to be afraid at last."
"Ash..."
Meimei opened her mouth tremblingly, but suddenly an undercurrent came, disrupting the trajectory of the silver needles around them.
The turbulent current was very powerful, impacting the two of them, bringing them into the abyss of the seabed, and quickly rolling them out of the abyss. A Xu seemed to have lost his strength, when he was brought out of the abyss, his hands had already let go of Meimei, it was Meimei who desperately grabbed him and hugged him tightly, as if she was holding her last hope.
"Don't give up!" Meimei shouted loudly, her voice was broken, painful, and mournful. There was despair and helplessness in the cry, and there was so much fear and hesitation, "You hug me! Axu, you hug me! We are free! We are obviously free!"
A Xu didn't answer him, they were pushed so embarrassingly in the turbulent undercurrent.
Nature is like a child's big malicious hand, playing with their lives at will.
A Xu's eyes were empty, and he drifted with the flow: "Meimei..."
With a push from the undercurrent, Meimei's hand was finally thrown away, and the undercurrent pulled her towards the sea. Her severed tail was powerless to resist this force, while Ash was dragged by another undercurrent, buried To the bottom of the sea.
In the dark abyss, only Ash's gentle voice finally reached Meimei's ears.
"...Thank you for taking me home."
"No no!" Meimei shouted hoarsely, "Come back! Bring him back!" But her voice did not receive a response. She was dragged to the surface of the sea by the undercurrent.
Li Dangdang took me out of the sea as well. He used his strength out of thin air to let us step on the waves.
I saw Meimei looking back helplessly, the undercurrent dragged her far away, the fire on the island seemed to come from another planet, unreachable. On the dark sea, there is a wave, holding the moonlight, so desolate and lonely.
She is like a falling leaf, pushed by the waves, ups and downs, completely involuntary.
She just stood there in a daze for a while, then suddenly started to look around, swam to the left, then swam to the right: "Ah Xu." Head out, eyes red, like an abandoned child, so wronged, helpless, at a loss.
"Ah Xu!" she shouted loudly, "Give him back to me!"
She slapped the sea angrily, and the sea water splashed her face, making her look like a lunatic or a crying child: "Give him back to me! Give him back to me!" At the end of the speech, it was already a hoarse scream Call.
And screaming just made her more lonely.
The waves on the sea never stopped, and her voice didn't stop until it was hoarse.
I also cried with Meimei, sobbing and crying, and at this moment, I felt that my body was getting heavier and the world was turning upside down. I felt the pressure on my back and neck, and felt the quilt on my body. weight, and feel...
Someone rubbed the top of my head.
The movement is not very gentle, but it also seems to be a kind of comfort.
I opened my eyes and saw the bedroom ceiling. There is still the feeling of being rubbed on the top of the head, and there are tears in the corners of the eyes, but everything is like a dream.
I slow down for a while. I didn't sit up from the bed for a long time.
It wasn't until Li Pei accompanied me to knock on my door that I struggled to get out of bed, dragged my body which was much heavier than usual, and moved step by step to open the door for her.
Li Peipei yawned big when she saw me, and the dark circles under her eyes were also very heavy: "Xiao Xin, hah... are you okay?"
"I'm fine..." I tried my best to speak, but my body was really exhausted, "I'm just a little tired."
"Mermaid dreams are like this. Going there once is like fighting a war. The first time you are a human being, it should be more serious. I am afraid that something will happen to you." She said and fought again. Yawn, "It's fine, I'll go first."
I nodded, and stopped her when she turned around: "Don't you need to see Meimei?"
The companion said: "I have experienced it many times, so I won't go to see it." She opened the door and walked in, "The pillow is wet from crying, so I probably don't want people to see it."
She went into the house and closed the door to sleep. I thought about it, and I also entered the house, sat in front of the computer for a long time, clicked on Taobao, spent a huge sum of 100 yuan, bought some snacks, and planned to go to Meimei for dinner tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
On the second day, it was raining in Chongqing, and it was a gloomy day. I went downstairs and knocked on the door but couldn't find Meimei.
I thought about it, went to the top of the building, pushed open the door, and saw the fat Meimei lying in the fish pond, she looked up at the sky, accepting the baptism of raindrops, the tail is now complete, completely invisible Looks like he was injured before.
When I walked to Meimei's side, she opened her eyes, as if she hadn't come out of yesterday's dream, she looked a bit listless.
"Xiao Xin."
"Does Meimei want beef jerky?"
"Okay." She took the beef jerky and took a bite, as if recovering a bit, "It's delicious."
She was happy because she ate delicious food, and she seemed to have regained the vitality of the Meimei I knew. I also took out beef jerky and ate it with her in the rain. I didn't ask about yesterday's dream.
"Yesterday... you were dragged into a dream by me."
I froze for a moment: "It's okay, I'm still in good spirits today."
"You can see how embarrassed I am."
I glanced at Meimei's tail: "Meimei, you are fine now. You won't be so embarrassed anymore." I told her, "I will protect you."
Meimei turned her head and glanced at me: "Xiaoxin, you are so gentle." She said, "I wish I could have met you at that time, but... not long after that, I also met Li Dangdao and Li Peipai. I was rescued from the sea and my tail was cured. I didn’t know until I went ashore that I was a blessing in disguise, and I can change my human legs and tail freely, no matter how many mermaids I can do. Although... walking is a bit painful.” She paused "Take it as my punishment for the rest of my life. I killed him."
I was silent: "Meimei..."
Meimei smiled: "Don't comfort me, I know what's in my heart. After I met Li Dangdang and the others, I followed them to Chongqing and lived here." Meimei said, "Ah Xu has been sleeping on the bottom of the sea forever, but I can't do it anymore. I'm staying in the sea." She looked up at the sky, her eyes were a little wandering, "but I miss it very much, so... do you know why I like rainy days?"
Yes, Meimei likes rainy days, but on any rainy day, she will come here, wearing her shell underwear, quietly soaking in the rain, saying nothing and doing nothing.
"The sea comes from the rain, and the rain also comes from the sea. On a rainy day, I feel...every drop of water that falls on my face may have flowed by his side."
I watched Meimei say this sentence calmly, and silently wiped away the warm "rain" from the corners of her eyes for her.
