Because what is said at the back of this book is highly consistent with what Smith said and what Shen Fengyue knew, so after Shen Fengyue finished flipping it, put it aside and ignore it.
I cleaned up the house, washed up early and went to bed.
The next day, the first ray of sunlight in the morning passed through the window lattice and just hit the closed eyelids of the bed man.
Shen Fengyue's eyelids felt the temperature of the sun, and reluctantly opened a slit, the golden light flashed, and in this light, she saw a white shadow passing by the window in a trance.
what the hell? Shen Fengyue pulled the quilt over her head and turned over to go back to sleep.
The system suddenly shouted: "Shen Fengyue! A bird dares to steal our fish!"
Shen Fengyue jumped up from the bed with a carp, bent down, picked up the slippers under her feet, and threw them towards the white figure. The bird had just grabbed a small tail of the dried fish, and before it could hold it firmly, an unknown object flew towards him angrily.
With a nimble turn, the object flew past the feather, knocking off a feather. Seeing that Shen Fengyue was coming, Xiaoniao flipped his belly and fell straight on the windowsill, dying strategically.
The knocked-off feather fluttered and landed on its upturned belly, and the bird's belly moved slightly.
Shen Fengyue saw this slight change in his eyes, and he lowered his head to observe this clever bird.
The mouth and claws are yellow, the body is covered by a large white, and the tips of the wings are black.
This appearance, still appearing on the beach, is undoubtedly a seagull.
"It's a little seagull." Shen Fengyue couldn't help poking the belly of the seagull that was pretending to be dead, it was hot and soft, and it was quite elastic when you poked it, "Yo, pretend to be dead. Woolen cloth?"
Little Seagull:…
No matter how perverted your belly is, you must not make any movement at this time!
"Oh, stop pretending, get up." Shen Fengyue didn't expect this stupid bird to be able to pretend so much, and couldn't help but say, "Are you a repeat offender like this?"
The little seagull still lay there, motionless and silent.
Shen Fengyue grabbed its two feet, hoisted it upside down, and swayed it up and down. The little seagull's two wings hung down weakly, because it swayed up and down and flapped twice from time to time. No way, Shen Fengyue could only put it back.
He stared at it for a while, got his mind, took a small dried fish and dangled it around the mouth of the seagull.
Delicious food is right in front of you, whoever doesn't open his mouth at this time is a fool! So the little seagull quietly opened its mouth and was ready to go. When Shen Fengyue's little dried fish swayed over again, it suddenly grabbed it upwards, and then fluttered and propped itself up from the ground, and flew with its wings. He fled into the distance, and before leaving, he also fanned Shen Fengyue's wings.
It took the spoils and flew farther and farther, and the two stretched wings turned into W in the air and M in the air.
Shen Fengyue: …
The system was also dumbfounded, and even stuttered: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu... It was stolen."
Shen Fengyue angrily turned around and went back to pack up, but he didn't expect that he would accidentally play with birds and be played by birds.
After getting dressed, he went to the bathroom to wash up. For the first time, he had time to look at his appearance in this world.
He has short blond hair that is slightly curly, and it looks a little messy because he has not taken care of it in the morning. Shen Fengyue raised her hand and scratched her hair, and combed them neatly with a comb.
Shen Fengyue dried the handkerchief and wiped it on her face. After washing, she felt that something had entered her left eye, so she leaned in front of the mirror and opened her eyelids to look inside. The blue eyes turned a few times, and found that an eyelash had entered the eye, which was a bit tingling.
Shen Fengyue took the veil and rubbed her eyes to take out the eyelashes before looking at it. I have to say that Anton's eyelashes are really long, long and curled, with distinct roots, and they are gently pressed like a crow's feather. When I opened my eyes, the blue eyeballs flowed in the sockets, and the eyes were clear, like the sea near the coast, shallow and with a clean blue.
The folds of the double eyelids are obvious, and the eye sockets are a little deep like other Europeans, so when he stares at others, his eyes are very deep, and if you look closely, you can see some deep affection.
Years of hard fishing life in the wind and rain turned his white milk color into a healthy wheat color, and there were some small freckles scattered on his cheekbones. Shen Fengyue made a face in the mirror, and those small freckles also moved flexibly. stand up.
After finishing packing, Shen Fengyue found Smith Arbor's house with the chocolate she bought yesterday. After knocking politely, Smith Arbor opened the door, took the chocolate in his hand, and said gratefully, "Please, please. Dong, come in and have a cup of hot coffee?"
Shen Fengyue smiled and shook her head and refused, saying that she still has work to do.
Hearing that Smith didn't hold back anymore, he waved to him and said, "See you another day!"
Shen Fengyue also waved, and after saying goodbye to Smith, he returned to his small broken house, looked at the boundless ocean and the small broken boat under his feet, and sighed faintly.
System: "Go ahead."
"Alas." Shen Fengyue sighed again, put the wooden barrel and fishing net into the boat, untied the rope and pulled the boat closer along the rope, stepping into the boat with one foot, and the other foot The boat wobbled when stepping in.
As soon as he made a move, the ship started to act like a demon, Shen Fengyue confronted it for a few minutes, and then jumped in with the last leap.
The boat immediately began to shake like a mad horse in a fit of rage, trying to throw off the daring human being on it. The final result of the battle between the two was that Shen Fengyue won. He tamed the boat and sat firmly in the boat.
He picked up the paddle and rowed into the sea, stopped when he got there, Shen Fengyue threw the net in and sat on the boat to let the system play the movie in his mind. The time of the afternoon passed quickly, and a lot of fish were caught in the net when the net was collected. A sense of joy from the fishermen's bumper harvest was born from within, and Shen Fengyue rowed home happily.
After a few days of this kind of life, Shen Fengyue went out to fish when the sun rose from the coastline, and when dusk came, he returned with a full load, read books, browsed the market, chatted with the system, and enjoyed delicious labor successfully.
On the swaying boat, Shen Fengyue spent a peaceful and beautiful few days.
It's really quiet time, and the world is stable. But such a life will always be broken.
On the twenty-eighth of the tenth day of the lunar calendar, every year at this time of the year, the town will hold an event to worship the sea god and pray to him.
The altar is located on the west coast and is built on the shoal closest to the sea. When the tide is high, the sea will overflow over the bottom of the altar, wrapping the entire altar into the embrace of the sea.
The altar is entirely made of stone, in the shape of a circle, with a stone pillar standing in the center, a stone statue of a sea beast on each side, and the edge of the base of the altar is also engraved with complicated patterns.
People from the town came in twos and threes and were gathered in front of the altar. An old man with white hair and beard walked up to the altar. He was wearing a black robe with the moon painted with gold powder and blue paint on his face. Outline a mysterious pattern, holding a wooden scepter in his hand, with a blue spar embedded in the center.
This is the priest.
The blue spar glowed brightly under the refraction of the sun, Shen Fengyue couldn't help but estimate the value of such a big gem.
Here, the priest raised his hands to his head and said to the people below: "Dear people, let us offer the most grand congratulations to the great sea god!"
The person below held his hands in front of his chest, lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly, daring not to look directly. Shen Fengyue followed suit, her eyes secreting the priest's next actions.
The priest asked someone to bring a huge fish and put it in front of the pillar in the center of the altar. The fish was so huge that it needed two young men to carry it. After the fish was put down, the priest brought a long knife, held the knife high over his head to charge, and then chopped off the fish's head with one knife, saying something in his mouth: "My great sea god! This is the most sincere thanks from your devout believers!"
The next knife cut across the body of the big fish, probably because the bones of the fish were too hard. The words in the priest's mouth paused, and he tried to draw the sword, but he couldn't.
The people below who had closed their eyes and prayed devoutly to the Sea God raised their heads because of the sudden pause of the priest.
In the eyes of all the priests, the priest could only continue: "Ah! Our great sea god! This vast sea is your body, and your heart is very broad. We thank you and praise you. Because of your great power and love, According to your will, we have gone through another year of living! This year... ah—" Halfway through speaking, the knife was suddenly pulled out, and the priest was pushed back by inertia and staggered a few steps, then shook his body, Continue to swing the knife at the big fish like nothing else.
Seeing that the sacrifice continued, the people in the ground lowered their heads. Shen Fengyue saw all this in her eyes and slightly raised the corners of her lips.
"We have harvested a lot this year, thanks to your kindness and kindness! Grant us endless treasures!" The priest chopped down the fish and divided the fish into two parts, and continued emotionally, "We present the most fertile fish, come to thank our great and merciful sea god."
Swinging a knife to chop a big fish is really physical work. When the priest is old, he has to operate this difficult project himself. He is sweating profusely. In the middle of the process, he places the knife on the ground to hold the handle, and the other hand supports it. The old waist, said a long list of prayers and procrastinated to buy more time for himself to rest.
"Pfft." Shen Fengyue couldn't help laughing out loud.
The priest narrowed his eyes dangerously, and turned his head to see which stinky boy dared to make fun of him, but the vast crowd below all bowed their heads and looked pious, and it was really impossible to find that person hidden inside.
So the priest had no choice but to turn back angrily, and continued to chop the fish after a break. It took about two hours to chop the big fish to pieces. The priest wiped his sweat and let people chop the big fish into pieces. The meat is wrapped, and then the young and strong man is thrown into the sea.
"Great sea god, please enjoy this feast!"
As the fish was thrown into the sea, women, girls, and children threw bread and fruit into the sea one after another. People looked up and watched these things go into the sea, and the fish came up to chase the food.
The priest had done physical work for two hours, and his back was sore. Seeing that the sacrificial ceremony was over, he was about to go down with his scepter and suddenly heard a child exclaim: "Look, there is something in the sea!"
The priest looked towards the sea, and there was a change. At the junction of the sky and the sea, a vague figure jumped out of the sea and then jumped into the sea.
Human body, fish tail. With his arms outstretched, he leaped in and out of the sea at will, like a jumping note.
Everyone gasped, causing uproar and panic for a while.
"My God, what is this weird thing?"
"He has a big tail!"
"But the upper body looks like a human!"
"Human fish tail, this is a mermaid, mermaid! Unknown! A bad omen!"
"I heard someone talking about the recent haunting of mermen in the sea..."
The people below began to whisper, and the priest immediately stopped him and said, "Stop talking! All go back!" After that, he called people to evacuate the people.
The crowd left, leaving Shen Fengyue alone to watch.
"Anton, let's go!" Smith pulled Shen Fengyue and was about to leave, "Don't look at it."
"Well." Shen Fengyue turned her head three times, but at this time there was nothing on the sea, and everything just now was like a phantom, vanishing and disappearing without a trace.
This is the first time that Shen Fengyue has seen a merman in a real sense. Although it is only a vague figure, he finally sees it.
The vague figure made him think infinitely.
It is written in "Sou Shen Ji": "Beyond the South China Sea, there are sharks who live in water like fish, and do not waste their weaving. The tears in their eyes can produce pearls."
So, what are the sharks like
