The weather was getting colder and colder, and the original blue sea was gradually replaced by snow-white ice, and the water surface where Alice could float and swim became narrower and narrower.
This is the case now, her body is too huge, there is too little water for her to swim, Alice has to swim forward quickly while breaking the ice with her body.
But even so, she was still farther and farther away from the team.
"Chirp! Dad! Alice! Alice!" She exchanged hard, reminding everyone that there was still one Alice left behind.
The current ice layer is no longer the thin ice layer that she could break through with a light bump. Every time she bumped into it, it was a dull pain. The sharp cracks in the ice layer ripped off the cub's scales A large piece was formed, and immediately a pool of bright red appeared on the white ice.
It must have been very painful, but Alice acted as if she hadn't noticed these wounds, allowing the wounds to be torn open again and again, she firmly followed in Dad's footsteps.
She finally saw her father, and her mother was there, and they were at the end of the line. They... they must be waiting for Alice!
Don't worry~ Alice walked a little slower today. You can catch up right away!
Alice is the fastest swimmer~
The moment she found her parents, Luoli with the crooked mouth was determined, and she chased even more vigorously. Therefore, in order to break through the ice in front of her, she suffered more and more wounds.
Meng Jiuzhao didn't know all of this.
Being at the end of the line, he didn't dare to look back at all!
His cheeks were icy cold, and tears kept flowing from his eyes, which were froze into ice after being shocked by the cold air.
"Abald, Alice..." Seeing him like this, Louis stopped worriedly, seeing that he was going to turn around, Meng Jiuzhao sternly stopped him.
"Don't look back! Don't let Alice see your face!"
"But you cried, and you wanted to take her away, didn't you?"
"So what if we cry? We... we can't take her away. That's too selfish, she will die!" Mentioning Alice's name, more tears flowed down Meng Jiuzhao's eyes.
Parting... turned out to be such a painful thing.
When parting from Blake and the others, Meng Jiuzhao didn't feel sad for too long because he thought in his heart that he would go back after finishing his work and meet again. However, the parting with Alice this time...
Meng Jiuzhao knew that once they separated this time, he might not be able to meet Alice again in this lifetime.
The world is too big and changes too often. Even if they come to this breeding place next year to visit Alice, whether they can meet Alice is an unknown problem.
This world is full of changes, maybe he and Louis will get lost in the process of meeting her, and it is even very possible that he and Louis will die in a certain disaster one day. I will come to see her, this silly girl will definitely wait here, if I can’t wait—
There is nothing more cruel than giving people expectations and then ruthlessly breaking them.
Alice, we are going back, we have to go a long way, and there is no water for you to swim in, so we have no way to take you—Meng Jiuzhao originally planned to explain it to her.
But the words came to my lips and I couldn't continue.
He chose to abandon her.
Let Alice decide that his dad is a bad guy.
Because I like it, I will be especially angry when I am hurt. Under this kind of anger, Alice must be able to forget herself.
She must wish to never see herself again, so that she can continue to live in the deep sea without worries.
He is a human living on land, and Alice is a fish living in the deepest part of the sea. They shouldn't meet each other, but the unique customs of the breeding place give them a chance to meet.
It was one of the most beautiful encounters in the world.
Meng Jiuzhao can still recall the first day they met.
He also remembered the day when Alice first greeted him in his language.
Yo~ Alice!
The mermaid's voice... isn't that the best voice in the world
Day by day, the female Kantas in the deep sea has learned more and more of the language of land Kantas, and even now she has been able to complete the singing that Meng Jiuzhao taught her.
this is not good.
He was wrong.
So, in the last time, Meng Jiuzhao asked Louis to take her to go fishing every day, and tried his best to let the little guy learn more survival skills during this time. During the study time between Louis and Alice, he made Alice After picking up a big backpack, Meng Jiuzhao took out two-thirds of the things he was going to take home and left them for Alice.
The climate is changing like this, I don't know if it is the same in the sea. If the fish schools brought by the warm current had already started to return, Alice probably would have to live a period of starvation, and nothing was more important to her than food.
I have to prepare more food for her!
So, with the mood of redemption, Meng Jiuzhao prepared desperately every day.
After leaving the food at a place on the shore that only he and Alice knew, Meng Jiuzhao ran into the queue without looking back.
Without saying goodbye to Alice, he sincerely wanted to abandon Alice.
Or rather, he wanted Alice to think she was abandoned.
"Let's take Alice with me." Louis couldn't hold back in the end, turned around, and was stunned when he saw Alice's miserable appearance.
"No. It's too warm where we are, and the seawater environment is completely different from here. Alice might have died in the past."
"But, maybe it will survive?"
"There is also a half chance of dying, right? Louis, I can't even accept that half chance, so I would rather she live alone in her hometown where she can survive 100%."
"..." The thin lips parted slightly, and Louis finally didn't speak, but he didn't move.
Quietly looking at Alice who was trying to catch up behind him, his feet stopped in place.
This is the first time in this life that Dumao and Ah Tu disagree on something.
Louis is no longer the Louis of his previous life, his heart has become very soft, once accepted by him, he will be very soft-hearted; while Meng Jiuzhao is still the same Meng Jiuzhao of his previous life, habitually looking at the world with rational eyes, once feasible If the result of sex analysis is not good, he will reluctantly refuse.
"No! No!" Meng Jiuzhao growled at Louis, and also at himself. He knew what was in his heart, but it was an extremely bad idea. In order to prevent himself from doing something irreparably wrong, he forced himself not to face it!
However, the voice from Alice was getting closer.
The sound of breaking ice, the sound of flippers slapping the ice, and Alice's excited cry.
Along with the various sounds she made, there was also a strong smell of blood.
Meng Jiuzhao couldn't pretend anymore, he turned his head suddenly, and saw Alice covered in blood.
With just one glance, his heart ached violently, and then he couldn't leave his eyes anymore.
Meng Jiuzhao knew the reason why Louis stopped. He must have seen Alice like this, and then he couldn't leave anymore.
"Father~Mom~" Seeing that mom and dad stopped, the fearful heart finally got better. The child became happy again, and turned around in the narrow water with difficulty. She showed her mom and dad Small backpack on the back.
Just like the little dolls who were about to go to elementary school in the previous life, she excitedly showed her new schoolbag to her parents.
I really like the little schoolbag my parents bought for me—with an inexplicable cry, Alice told her joy.
However, that is not the children's schoolbag, but the last gift.
Represents a discarded gift.
"Alice, we are leaving, you must stay here alone." Wiping his face, Meng Jiuzhao held back his tears, and he spoke to Alice coldly.
"Go home? Alice goes home too~" Alice didn't understand, but she understood the word go home.
"No, let's go home, you stay here alone." Cruelly, Meng Jiuzhao pointed to the ice hole she was in: "You live in the water, but we live on the water, we can't take you away!"
In order to facilitate her understanding, Meng Jiuzhao repeated the cruel words three times.
So Alice really understood.
The moment she understood her father's words, tears welled up in Alice's eyes.
"Alice... Be good, Alice... want to go home!"
"Alice catches fish for...George."
"Alice is delicious."
This poor little guy, she finally realized that she was going to be abandoned by her parents. In order not to be abandoned, she began to list her various advantages.
The female Kantas' herd doesn't raise useless cubs, and she's worked so hard to stay there, in order to stay there, she needs to look delicious, so that she can camouflage the bait, and then attract the prey to Other female Kantas catch.
Although she is young, she already knows that she can only stay in a certain group if she is useful.
It was only after she was with Louis Meng Jiuzhao that she lived a normal life as a cub. Someone caught her fish to eat, taught her various things, and scratched her belly and shaved her scales.
She has never been so clean.
The other cubs have their mothers to help them shave their scales, but she is the only one who doesn't care, and doesn't care about the dirty ones until they meet Meng Jiuzhao.
In the world of female Kantas, no adult female will show affection to a strange cub for no reason. They are not like males who will snatch other people's eggs to hatch. Female Kantas only raises their own children. If they meet unknown cubs in the sea, they will be killed. One less cub will have more food.
Cold and dark, like the bottom of the ocean.
This is the world of women.
There will be no strange adults who treat her well. This is something Alice has known since she was a child, so her mother must be the one who treats herself well.
Therefore, Louis became her mother in this way, and Alice knew that the males lived on the shore, so Meng Jiuzhao on land was regarded as her father by her self-taught.
After enjoying the normal cub life for too long, now that she realized that she was about to be abandoned, Alice became anxious.
Is it because I am too lazy
She was anxious to show her strengths. But after showing it off, she realized that there are so few of her own advantages. She thought desperately, and finally came up with another advantage: "Lay eggs! Alice can... Alice can lay eggs!"
Meng Jiuzhao then laughed.
He smiled, but tears welled up from his eyes.
Alice was very excited to say this advantage, because she was too excited, she couldn't help but move a little more, and then the wound was broken again by her, and more blood flowed out.
"Silly boy..." Meng Jiuzhao choked up, not wanting her to hurt herself any more, he gritted his teeth, turned around and left without looking back.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
A more horrific cry came from behind him—
The long dragging sound lasted for a long time, and after a while, the shouting stopped, and Meng Jiuzhao heard the singing.
"... long, long, it's my longing..."
"... far away, far away, in front of your door..."
"... Whenever you pass me... I want to go on an adventure with you..."
It's that song.
Meng Jiuzhao's favorite song in the previous life, because Alice also liked it very much, Meng Jiuzhao taught her the whole song during the days together, Alice was born with a beautiful voice, even if the person who taught her singing is incomplete, she He just sang this out-of-tune song with his good voice.
"... Whenever you pass me... I want to go on an adventure with you..."
"Dad!!!!" She sang it several times, her voice gradually breaking down, and finally turned into a roar.
The tears were frozen, and the song was sung several times, but the father's figure became smaller and smaller. Not only did he leave by himself, but he also dragged his mother away.
Alice was abandoned—
The giant cub with its crooked mouth finally couldn't hold it anymore.
She burst into tears.
Jumping up while crying, her huge body jumped out of the water, crawling with difficulty on her flippers, and she chased after her parents with all her strength.
However, walking on the ice sheet is too difficult for a fish. The water on her body was frozen to ice not long after she came out of the water. Her body was frozen with the ice surface. In order to move on, she had to use With even greater strength, he forcibly peeled himself off the ice.
The scales on the abdomen were peeled off together with the ice surface, and Alice became a fish crawling out of the blood.
Completely ignoring the pain, and only seeing the figures of her parents, she persistently crawled forward.
She's going to catch up with Mom and Dad and go home with them, and she's going to live on land with her family! For this reason, Alice is not afraid of anything!
At this moment, Alice's body produced great courage and energy.
Without her noticing, her body began to change.
In order to crawl faster, the paddy flippers gradually turned into human arms, and the scales on the body began to appear and disappear, receding and reappearing, and finally, as if defeated, the scales receded , replaced by a slightly bluish white skin, long hair protruding from her bald head, covering her body, the long fish tail first shrunk in a big circle, and finally disappeared slowly. It became two short legs belonging to human beings.
By the time Alice found herself climbing faster, she was already exactly like her father!
She got up more quickly.
So, when Meng Jiuzhao's legs were hugged suddenly, he turned his head with snot and tears on his face, and he was surprised to see the real Lolita who was looking forward to him on the ground.
