Chapter 506 Look, there’s a mermaid (4)
"This...can't be some relative of yours, right?"
Unfortunately, Muir did not answer Yun Qian. He seemed to not understand human language and tilted his head very slightly.
This is not the sea area that the institute's ship went to yesterday, and it is not very far from the shore. Yun Qian did not expect that Muir would appear here.
An ethereal and distant song seemed to ring in his ears again. Muir moved slightly, looked in the direction of the sound, and then turned around to leave.
Yun Qian held on to the mast anxiously, but ignored that the fishing boat's mast was already covered with rust. She tried her best, but the mast couldn't bear it and let out a final hoarse scream.
The mast broke, Yun Qian threw forward due to inertia, and fell into the sea from the stern of the ship.
It is true that Yun Qian is not afraid of water, and it is also true that she is not afraid of water. The sea water rushes over Yun Qian's mouth and nasal cavity, and she opens her mouth to call for help while rising and falling.
In Yun Qian's sight blurred by the sea water, the figure with long silver-white hair stayed on the spot, his eyes hesitant and probing.
Gradually, Yun Qian's struggling hands became heavier and heavier, and her calls for help became weaker. Finally, the fishermen in the cabin heard the noise and ran out, and saw Yun Qian, who was about to sink completely to the bottom of the sea.
"Quick! Throw the lifebuoy and go down to save people!"
In the moment of change between consciousness and drowsiness, Yun Qian felt the power of the person above pulling him.
At the same time... she also felt the push that helped her from bottom to top.
.........
When he woke up again, it was already dusk. Yun Qian was lying on the bed, and his throat was filled with the salty taste of sea water, which made Yun Qian frown for a moment.
This is a fisherman's home, Yun Qian was told by the woman who came in to deliver water.
"We performed emergency rescue on you. We originally wanted to send you to the hospital, but you vaguely refused, so we had to bring you back temporarily."
"Oh, by the way, I changed your clothes too, so don't worry too much. It's not bad to wear too many wet clothes."
Yun Qian still had some impression that before she completely passed out, she seemed to have grabbed the fishermen's sleeves to ask them not to send her to the hospital.
The woman put the hot water and hot soup on the bedside. Yun Qian smiled apologetically: "Sorry to trouble you."
"It's nothing. We live by the sea, and we often encounter people who suddenly drown. It's not strange anymore." The woman smiled gently.
The woman enthusiastically invited Yun Qian to stay and have dinner with her, but Yun Qian couldn't refuse and had to agree.
But before eating, Yun Qian went out for a walk.
The beach at dusk is very different. The setting sun, which has been half covered by the sea horizon, dyes half of the sky red, causing people walking on the beach to cast long shadows. There are fishing boats docked neatly on the shore, revealing the... The tranquility and tranquility of the fishermen as the sun sets.
Yun Qian walked barefoot on the beach, letting the sea water submerge her feet from time to time. The rising sea water would also bring some small gifts, such as half-left shells and conches with a missing corner.
The woman put Yun Qian into a long cotton skirt. The hem of the skirt swayed in the wind, and her hair was blown up.
The beach soon reached the end, and the road ahead was covered by a large tree. The leaves of the tree were very large, like a natural barrier.
Yun Qian looked back at the house in the distance, then curiously opened the leaves and walked in.
Perhaps this is the natural occupational disease of researchers, who always maintain excessive curiosity.
It's like another world behind the leaves. It's quiet and peaceful here, and even the plants are different from the human settlements on the other side of the trees.
It's a pity that I don't have any professional collection equipment on me. If I did, I could pick some off and take them back for study, Yun Qian thought aimlessly.
Walking a little further, Yun Qian came to the beach. The sunset was the same as what he had just seen, with a figure lying on the beach.
Yun Qian thought it was someone who drowned and washed up on the shore. When he ran closer, he realized that it was not actually a person.
It's Muir.
Muir lay quietly on the beach, his eyes closed, the blue fish tail dragged out very long, and only the big tail fin could be moistened by the sea water.
Isn't it stranded? !
Yun Qian walked up quickly and knelt down next to Muir. Before she could appreciate the beauty of the mermaid, her sapphire-like eyes opened.
Because he had just opened his eyes, the aggression and vigilance in Muir's eyes were clear, causing Yun Qian's outstretched hand to freeze in mid-air.
Muir propped up his upper body, and there was a small fishtail-shaped mark on his left waist.
The two of them were in a stalemate, and finally Yun Qian sighed first, "I thought you were stranded and needed help, and I didn't mean to disturb you."
The Little Mermaid didn't understand human language very well, so she made a slight cry similar to "goo" from her throat.
Yun Qian was stunned for several seconds, patted his head, lowered his head and used his fingers to write and draw on the beach.
In the end, relying on Yun Qian's painting skills that looked completely different from anything else, the fish could barely understand it, and the vigilance in his eyes lost some of its vigilance.
But this did not prevent Muir from retreating a little further to the seaside.
Yun Qian: "..."
Does she look like a fishmonger?
One person and one fish remained in a stalemate for a few seconds. Yun Qian raised his head and looked at the sky. When he lowered his head, Muir retreated a little further to the seaside.
"...I can tell no matter how little you retreat," Yun Qian said.
"Forget it," Yun Qian shook his head, looked into those clear blue eyes and said, "Thank you for saving me twice."
This afternoon in the sea, the push she felt must have been caused by the fish in front of her.
Muir tilted his head slightly, but did not step back any further. More than half of the beautiful fish tail was already soaked in the seawater. Muir's face showed some satisfaction that he didn't know he had.
That can probably be called the comfort of returning to a place where I feel at ease.
Muir did not leave like he did this afternoon. This place seemed to be his territory, and it was Yun Qian who should be leaving.
But as an outsider, Yun Qian didn't have this self-awareness. She sat on the beach.
Perhaps because she didn't sense any malice from Yun Qian, the mermaid reluctantly let this weak human stay on her territory for a while.
Of course, Muir would not forget that the man in front of him was eating grilled and dried fish in the afternoon.
Even in the deep sea he likes to eat small fish...
The setting sun gradually sank, the last ray of light disappeared under the night cover, and the sky was filled with stars.
In the night, Muir's azure gem-like eyes exude a glimmering light, and his long silver-white hair is also dyed with the color of the night.
Those eyes were so alluring. Even though Muir was not looking at her, Yun Qian still fell in unconsciously.
Muir patted the water with his fish tail, causing a splash of water that accidentally splashed onto Yun Qian's face.
Along with the splash came a small fish as big as a palm. Yun Qian hurriedly caught the small fish, and then his face was drenched in sea water, and his palm was slapped by the tail of the small fish.
Muir looked at Yun Qian with some pleasure. The mermaid felt happy that she had fed a weak animal.
Yun Qian hugged the fish and searched his mind for some information about mermaids from ancient books.
Mermaids are powerful, so under their protection, the underwater world is extremely peaceful, and they often protect weak animals.
Protecting weak animals brings satisfaction to the noble mermaid.
So, has she been classified as a weak person in the eyes of the mermaid? Yun Qian thought.
Yun Qian again saw the other party's long fish tail, which seemed to have nowhere to rest in the shallow water.
Yes, after all, she is not as long as others.
