The Starry Sky, The Starry Sea: Chapter 17 Absolutely impossible to give up

Chapter17 Absolutely impossible to give up

Perhaps it is true as he said, the long years have forged him to be very strong, he will not be injured or vulnerable, let alone the feeling of being wronged. However, I still feel wronged for him.

I don't know where Wu Julan is outside the boat, maybe he's just far behind the boat, but I just said so loudly on purpose, Wu Julan's inhuman hearing should be able to catch my voice, It should be around too.

With a "plop", I fell into the icy sea.

Even if I close my eyes and completely refuse to see the water that scares me, I can still clearly feel the death-like darkness quickly surrounding me. The seawater clogged every pore of me like a viscous slurry, and the horrible feeling of suffocation swept over every nerve of mine, exactly like the feeling in a nightmare.

In an instant, my rationality was completely defeated. I struggled instinctively, and even opened my mouth to breathe, as if the water surface was above my head.

Suddenly, a pair of strong arms embraced me forcefully, and his open mouth was sealed with his lips.

I opened my eyes and looked at him in horror.

His hands are tightly around my waist, his lips are close to mine, his blue eyes are staring at me, seeming to comfort me: Don't be afraid! do not be afraid! I am here!

At this moment, I am at the bottom of the sea, surrounded by water from head to toe. However, I am in the warmest embrace in the world, and the oxygen flows from his lips to mine. Calm down and feel, there is no terrible suffocation in memory, and there is no horrible death in memory. Skin to skin, lips and teeth are intertwined, but there is an indescribable tenderness.

I couldn't help stretching out my hand and wrapped it around Wu Julan's neck.

Knowing that I had calmed down, he put one hand on top of my head and the other hugged me tightly, and suddenly accelerated his swimming. Because the speed was too fast, the rushing water became solid, and when it passed over the bare skin, it felt a tingling sensation. If it wasn't for his palms resting on top of my head to relieve me of some of the strength, it would have been more painful.

With a "crash", Wu Julan took me out of the sea and out of the sea.

I hurriedly looked around, and as far as I could see, I couldn't see Zhou Buwen's boat. Under a golden full moon, there was only the boundless sea bobbing together.

Escape safely!

I couldn't help laughing out loud!

Wu Julan tapped on my head, "Laughing! You dare to jump in such cold sea water, you will die!"

He stared at me unkindly, as if he wanted to reprimand me. I clasped his shoulders with both hands, and suddenly bit his lips gently and softly. He was stunned, and I looked at him with a smile, if you have the ability, you can train me again!

If you train again, I will bite again!

Seeing that he didn't dare to say anything more, I let him go triumphantly, "Don't think that your force value is higher than mine, so I can't deal with you!"

Wu Julan stared at me and smiled at me.

I was terrified, the thought of "something is not good" just came up, suddenly, I felt the world was spinning, it seemed that the whole world was upside down, I couldn't help screaming "ah".

Then, I found out that it was not the world that fell, but me. I seemed to be lying on the grass, flat on the sea, and Wu Julan was pressing on top of my body.

I murmured: "This is unscientific!" I moved my body slightly, only to find that his long tail fin was curled softly, wrapping around my lower body, and his hands were embracing my upper body, letting my I lay firmly on the surface of the sea.

I couldn't help but move my legs, kicked my feet again, and found that I was still lying flat on the sea. I became bolder and my movements became more violent. The power of his tail fin is gentle but powerful, and it doesn't give me a strong sense of restraint, but no matter how I toss, he can wrap me around, so that I will never fall into the water.

I was moving happily when I suddenly noticed that Wu Julan seemed to have become very stiff, staring at me with a blank expression... I belatedly realized that the tail fin curling up my legs was not an unconscious toy , but... Wu Julan's lower body.

My lower body, his lower body, and the naked lower body...Suddenly, I felt that the sensation of my lower body became very sensitive. I was clearly wearing a pair of jeans, but it seemed that I was wearing nothing. Every inch of my skin I could clearly feel the touch of his caudal fin... I was stiff and motionless, staring blankly at Wu Julan.

The corner of Wu Julan's mouth twitched lightly, his face was expressionless, but his voice was hoarse, and he asked bewitchingly, "Do you still have the guts to bite again?"

My gaze subconsciously looked at his lips. Under the bright moonlight, the lips still had drops of water like rose petals with dewdrops. He turned his gaze and deliberately looked past his face to the sky above his head.

In the dark blue sky, a golden full moon hangs, just like a dreamy and perfect scene in Japanese anime, but what is even more dreamy and perfect is the handsome face under the moonlight, it seems that the whole sky has become a curtain, Just to accentuate his face.

Wu Julan said: "As you wish, let's continue to complete that unfinished kiss!"

As soon as the voice fell, he bit my lips.

This is not the first time we have kissed, even just now, I kissed him teasingly. However, at this moment, when he really started kissing me, I realized that this was our first kiss.

Gentle and flexible tongue, hard and sharp teeth, like a water dragon spewing flames, not only burning and scorching me mercilessly, but also touching and comforting me tenderly. In front of his strength and gentleness, my soul was shattered in an instant, and I followed him helplessly into the sky, exploded, and turned into gorgeous fireworks all over the sky.

When the kiss was over, I panted and buried my head in Wu Julan's neck embarrassingly.

Wu Julan asked with a hoarse voice, "Did it hurt you?"

I nodded honestly, "But... more happiness! Even pain is happiness!"

Wu Julan laughed, "Next time, I will be more careful."

I leaned against his cheek and whispered: "I will also learn how to avoid your sharp teeth."

Wu Julan hugged me tightly without saying a word.

Suddenly, I sneezed.

Wu Julan hurriedly asked: "Is it cold?"

I wanted to say "not cold", but the chill had penetrated into my body from every inch of my skin, and I couldn't help shivering when I was blown by the cold night wind, there was no way to lie.

I said: "I didn't feel cold just now, but now I feel a little cold."

Wu Julan said: "The critical point of human body temperature is 33 degrees Celsius. Once the body temperature is lower than 33 degrees Celsius, the muscles will lose control, the organs will malfunction, and they will fall into coma or convulsions. The current seawater is only 7 degrees Celsius. In such seawater, for forty minutes to an hour, the body temperature will be lower than 33 degrees Celsius."

I said bitterly: "It turns out that the tragic ending of "Titanic" is the scientific principle. When I was a child, I was surprised. The water did not freeze, how could people freeze to death!"

Wu Julan obviously hasn't watched this love movie that is popular all over the world, and he didn't understand my cold humor. He put his hand on my neck, testing my heartbeat, "You can hold on for half an hour at most."

I started to count the time, the assault boat drove for more than half an hour, and then I stayed on Zhou Buwen's boat for more than an hour, that is to say, even if the boat sailed, it would take at least an hour and a half to drive back to ours where the yacht is located. I tentatively asked: "Can you swim back to our yacht?"

Wu Julan said: "If I take you, you can reach the yacht in about 40 minutes, but your body temperature will drop faster, and you may fall into a coma after ten minutes."

I began to feel that my jumping into the sea was a bit reckless. No wonder Wu Julan just followed Zhou Buwen's boat and didn't want to save me impulsively. He knew very well how fragile my body was.

I asked nonchalantly: "What shall we do now?"

Wu Julan said: "Try to keep your body temperature and wait for Violet to come. After you were taken away, I have already called her and she will send someone to pick us up by helicopter."

I cheered up and thumped his shoulder, "You deliberately scared me!"

Wu Julan stood upright in the water and hugged me horizontally. He turned his back to the direction of the wind and blocked the cold wind for me, "From now on, try to shrink your body as much as possible to reduce heat loss, but you must always talk to me and keep your mind clear."

I began to realize the seriousness of the matter, and while trying to shrink into his arms like a baby, I asked anxiously: "Is Violet not so fast?"

Wu Julan stared at me and said, "You will be fine."

He didn't answer my question directly, and I didn't ask again.

Looking at the vast sea around me, I asked with a smile: "There are no street names or landmark buildings here, how did Violet find us?"

"The mobile phone has a global positioning function. As long as I choose to open the permission, Violet will naturally lock my latitude and longitude. Don't you read the manual?"

"Oh, that's it!" I have acted in American dramas, but I just didn't remember it for a while. However, I really admire Wu Julan. Except for him, no one can really read the manuals of mobile phones, TV sets, and rice cookers from beginning to end, and memorize every word.

I asked ramblingly: "Didn't you say that exercise generates heat? Why did you make me shrink up?"

Wu Julan said: "On land, the body radiates heat through exercise, and the warm clothes such as clothes will keep the heat on the body surface. But in the sea, the clothes are all wet, and the heat generated by your exercise cannot stay on the body surface. , will soon be taken away by the cold sea water, but it will accelerate the consumption of your body temperature, which is the same as using a wet towel to lower your body temperature when you have a fever."

"Oh, that's it... no wonder Jack let Rose climb on the board instead of swimming..."

My body became more and more stiff, although I still firmly remembered Wu Julan's words in my mind, insisted on talking to him, and kept my mind clear. However, not only my muscles were frozen, but even my thinking seemed to be frozen. It wasn't that I didn't want to speak, but that I couldn't think of what to say at all.

Wu Julan bit my lip lightly with his teeth, "Little Luo, talk to me."

"Well, I, I think... think..." I closed my mouth again.

Wu Julan asked: "Why did you jump into the sea suddenly? I saw that the boat was quite calm all the time. I wanted to wait for Violet to come before I act."

I suddenly woke up, but I never bothered to tell him such an important matter.

I cheered up and said, "Zhou Buwen's grandfather was looking for the medicine to bring the dead back to life. He said that my great-grandfather had seen a fish god...he was a shark. He found a picture in the bronze mirror of my house. The sea chart made by the shark, he believes that the shark knows how to live forever, can cure his disease, and help him bring him back to life.”

Wu Julan said displeasedly: "Is this why you suddenly jumped into the sea?"

"Well! Can't let them...find you."

"Didn't I say, is it okay to trade me for your safety?"

I got angry, "Wu Julan, you crazy, what do you think of yourself? Do you think you can exchange anything? I can exchange my safety with money or other things, but I can use myself My heart in exchange for my safety? I cut my heart to someone else, can I still live?"

Wu Julan was silent for a moment, lowered her head, put her forehead against mine, and said: "But, I am not your heart, it cannot return to your chest by itself, but I can guarantee that I will return to your side."

In fact, I didn't even have the strength to raise my head, but I threatened viciously: "Say it again, believe it or not, I will bite you!"

He smiled and pecked lightly on my lips.

I murmured: "Don't say such things in the future, some things are absolutely impossible to give up!"

He said: "Good!"

Before I knew it, I closed my eyes and got confused.

Wu Julan bit me hard, forcing me to open my eyes, "Persist for a while, and there will be a warm blanket soon."

I got a little more energetic, "Is Violet... coming?"

Wu Julan didn't answer my question, and teased me to talk to him, "Why did you give away the ring I gave you? It's our engagement ring!"

"The ring... can be exchanged, you can give me another one, it can be bigger!"

"Okay, I'll give you another bigger one! Do you think that person told Zhou Buwen that you jumped into the sea?"

"No...no."

"He didn't say anything, but he should have been discovered." Wu Julan smiled and said, "Xiao Luo, we have guests here, and we just want to borrow their spirits and blankets."

I was groggy, my brain was not working well, I didn't understand what he said at all, so I said: "Okay!"

There was the roar of the rumbling motor. I thought it was Violet who came to save our plane. But looking carefully, it turned out that Zhou Buwen and their boat went back and forth.

I don't understand. With Wu Julan's hearing ability, it is impossible to know that the boat is coming now. Why didn't he leave early?

I immediately thought of it, and the only reason is me.

My body temperature is already close to the critical point of human body temperature, and I will definitely not last until Violet comes. If left untreated, organ frostbite may occur.

Wu Julan is planning to use the enemy's supplies to save me, but... the blinding lights lit up the night, making it difficult to hide. Two assault boats are patrolling around, and there are people in full diving equipment is on standby.

From the loudspeaker on the boat, old man Zhou's excited voice came out, "Shen Luo, I got it! I got it! Your boyfriend Wu Julan is! Wu Julan is! Hahaha... He must know to let me The way to survive!"

I felt a chill in my heart, how could he know? Could it be that I have exposed something?

Wu Julan guessed what I was thinking, and said in a low voice, "It has nothing to do with you! I have a lot of doubts about me. Zhou Buwen just didn't think in that direction. As long as he accepts old man Zhou's thoughts, he will think of me sooner or later. .”

Yeah! Wu Julan's video, the plaque on the inn, his martial arts skills, his mysterious identity... Zhou Buwen knew all of these.

Old man Zhou walked up and down on the boat, dancing with excitement, not like a terminally ill patient at all, "Shen Luo, Wu Julan, come out, we can have a good talk... Don't worry, I will never hurt you! "

I anxiously said to Wu Julan: "Sink down! Before they find you... sink down!"

Wu Julan did not move, glanced at the people on the assault boat, and said lightly: "The instrument they are holding is a radar life detector, which can be used to search and rescue people who have fallen into the water. We also have it on our yacht. I have seen it Instructions, within 50 meters, they will still find us. The waterproof bag you bought for the mobile phone, if the water depth exceeds 20 meters, it will fail due to water pressure, and the mobile phone will lose signal immediately.”

Seeing them operating the instrument to search around, I almost cried, patting his chest feebly, "It's okay! It's okay! It doesn't matter how deep it is! Go down quickly! How about you Swim away first, anyway, I am about to freeze to death, let them save me first, you are so fast, you can definitely escape..."

Wu Julan pressed his finger on my lips, and said with a cold expression: "Never tell me to give up your spouse again, I only choose a spouse once in my life!"

I was stunned and stared blankly at Wu Julan, my eyes gradually filled with tears.

Suddenly, my cell phone rang, vibrating non-stop on my chest.

I'm out of my mind and don't understand why my phone is ringing at this time.

Wu Julan said: "Shen Yanghui's phone call, the results of your father's surgery should be out."

I look at the boats and Zodiacs that are getting closer and closer to us.

Are you answering the phone?

It is to give up the last chance to escape!

Don't answer?

This is a call about Dad's safety!

Wu Julan said: "This is the call you have been waiting for, answer the call!"

With trembling hands, I picked up the phone tremblingly.

"Hello?"

"The operation was successful, Dad is fine! The doctor said that he should be able to fully recover! Sister, thank you doctor friend..."

When I heard the news that my father was safe, I wanted to hang up the phone immediately, but the "sister" from the phone made me stupid all of a sudden.

Shen Yanghui also seemed to feel embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "My mother called me, I hung up the phone, and I won't talk to you anymore!"

However, he did not hang up the phone immediately, but said quickly: "Sister, you don't have to come to Shanghai, anyway, seeing my mother is noisy, making everyone unhappy, very boring! I will wait for next summer vacation. I will go to the island with my father to see you, I will find a way to let my mother stay in Shanghai, and only my father and I will go to see you! Then you take me out to sea to play! Bye!"

I was holding the phone blankly, suspecting that my hearing had been frozen out, and I had auditory hallucinations. Shen Yanghui actually called me "sister"?

Several shouts came from the assault boat, "I found it! I found it!"

When I came back to my senses, the crisis was imminent, and I couldn't care less about Shen Yanghui's weird "sister".

"Over there! Over there!"

They found our position on the instrument, and the Zodiac came towards us.

The radar life detector should only be able to lock on to me who is a human being, and it is completely useless to Wu Julan. If Wu Julan is willing to give up on me, it will be easy to escape.

However, since he is unwilling, then, no matter what, let's bear it together!

Two assault boats and a large ship moved towards us and surrounded us in a triangular formation.

Wu Julan didn't feel nervous at all, and calmly picked up her phone and called Violet, "You don't have to rush here, I have to deal with some things first, and I'll contact you after I'm done."

Wu Julan hung up the phone and said to me: "I'm going to be completely deformed, can I make a human voice."

Shivering all over my body, I nodded.

Like watching a fast-moving movie, I can clearly see his changes.

The scales were like rapidly freezing ice, quickly covering his waist upwards, covering his entire back, and then covering his shoulders and the back of his neck. The color fades from deep Kashmiri sapphire blue to light crystal blue. Then the scales cover from the shoulders down the arms, the color gradually deepens from crystal-like light blue to sapphire-like dark blue at the wrists. As the scales covered the veined back of the hand, the hand changed, the fingers became elongated, and webs grew between them. The color of the scales has turned blue to almost black when it reaches the fingertips.

I felt that the embrace I leaned on became as firm as steel, and his two arms were as hard as stone, seemingly invincible.

With the changes in his body, his face also began to change, with deeper eye sockets, higher browbones, a straighter nose bridge, narrower nose wings, and a more prominent jaw. His eyes and hair, which had been just black with a touch of blue, were now the color of a Kashmiri sapphire, the same color as his tail fin.

Wu Julan saw that I was staring at him intently, suddenly lowered his head, and almost pressed his face to mine. He deliberately opened his mouth towards me, his sharp teeth were as sharp as those of a shark, full of frightening power.

Even though I was frozen to the point of losing consciousness, I still couldn't help grinning and smiled stiffly. It's not because his sharp teeth are so funny, but, he no longer worried about scaring me, but started to use his sharp fangs to deliberately scare me, which only shows that he knows that he is the one I love, no matter what I love any appearance, so he can be himself at will.

The searchlight on the ship shines on the sea area where we are, and the two of us are shrouded in a white and miserable light.

Wu Julan didn't respond, she still lowered her head, staring at me tenderly, as if saying: It doesn't matter, if you really can't hold on, go to sleep!

I was exhausted, and my eyelids were too heavy to hold open, but I knew it was definitely not the time to sleep, so I still struggled to hold on.

Wu Julan gently kissed my eyes, as if he gave me a promise: don't worry, everything will be resolved!

I finally closed my eyes in peace.

In the dimness, I heard the sound of singing like the sounds of nature.

The pronunciation is strange, there are no lyrics, just chanting with indistinguishable meaning, and it is even impossible to tell where the singing comes from.

On the dark blue sky, a golden full moon shines on the boundless sea, and the sparkling sea water gently rippling with the sea breeze.

The ethereal and melodious singing seems to pour down from the beautiful moon with the bright moonlight, falling gently on people. From the ears, from the eyes, from the nose... from every pore of the skin to the depths of the heart, directly resonating with the soul.

In the depths of everyone's memory ocean, there is an isolated island that collects time but is abandoned by time. There is no wind and rain, no bitterness, and no harm, only all the happiness and warmth are treasured.

On the playground, the little friends chased and shouted together; in the sunset, a dandelion ball was handed over by my mother; on weekend mornings, my father drove the family out in the car; His smile... the soul has traveled too long and too far, and has been forgetting to look back. Now it can finally wipe off layers of dust, clear away the confusion, and greet the buried and forgotten one again. of myself.

The sea of ​​time is gently rippling, and joy shines charmingly like the moonlight on the sea.

On this isolated island where time is treasured but forgotten by time, take a good rest with your past self!

The scalding and irritating liquid fell from my throat into my internal organs, and I gradually became somewhat faintly conscious.

In the haze, both the body and the soul are very tired and weak. The feeling of heaviness as if I had turned into a rock made me unwilling to think or move. It seemed that it was difficult to even move my little finger, and I just wanted to fall into a deep sleep.

Although every inch of skin and every pore of the body longs for a deep sleep, the soul struggles and refuses to fall asleep. Deep in my subconscious mind, I always feel that there is a very important thing, a very important thing, something more important than my life... Wu Julan!

I suddenly opened my eyes, and saw Wu Julan lying on the ground, holding my head in one hand, and holding a bottle of strong foreign wine in the other, pouring wine for me.

I breathed a sigh of relief seeing him safe and sound right in front of my eyes.

Wu Julan probably didn't expect that I would wake up suddenly, and was taken aback for a moment before continuing to feed me drinks.

I took a few sips cooperatively, and he put down the bottle after seeing that he was almost done.

Alcohol has taken effect, I feel my body is gradually warming up from the inside out, and I should have passed the danger of frostbite safely.

I tried to sit up, but found that I couldn't move at all from the neck down. I was wrapped in layer after layer of blankets, wrapped like a mummy in a museum. This is not important, the important thing is - I am naked and naked.

I fully understand the need to do this. Wet and cold clothes will definitely not work on the body. If you want to recover your body temperature quickly and avoid frostbite, you must take off all the wet clothes as soon as possible, dry your body and warm your limbs. However, thinking that Wu Julan might have stripped me of my clothes, I felt like the blood in my whole body was about to boil.

I huddled under the blanket and asked with a little luck: "Did Violet help me undress?"

Wu Julan shook his head.

My face flushed, "Is...you?"

Wu Julan nodded.

He and I were a little afraid to look at each other, and we hurriedly looked away.

I suddenly found that the room we were in was a bit familiar, it was, it was... old man Zhou's room! Because I was lying flat on the ground, the angle of sight was very different from the angle I stood when I came in last time, so I didn't recognize it immediately.

I couldn't care less about being shy anymore, and asked in horror: "Are we caught?"

Wu Julan shook his head.

I suddenly realized something, and asked hurriedly: "Why don't you speak? What time is it now?"

Wu Julan didn't answer me.

I didn't need his answer either, because I pulled out a hand suddenly and lifted the blanket that blocked my sight, and clearly saw that his lower body was still a dark blue fishtail.

The color of the fishtail is no longer crystal clear like Kashmir sapphires, but like old silk that has been wrinkled in the sun. His chest, lower abdomen, and hands were covered with smudges and scars, and the long fish tail had been scratched by something, almost full of scars, and even bloodstained from under many scales.

I struggled to sit up, and said angrily: "You haven't turned back into a human body, how dare you go ashore? When have you ever seen dolphins and whales come to land?"

Wu Julan didn't say a word, she propped herself up on the ground with one hand, supported me with the other, and sat up with difficulty.

His fish tail was so elegant and beautiful in the water, and his movements were quick, but now it looks huge and cumbersome, and it is difficult for him to move. Even a simple movement of helping me to sit up took all his strength, and it was hard for him to keep it balance.

I glanced around and found that the floor-to-ceiling window facing the deck was broken, and the ground was in a mess. I could tell that Wu Julan had entered the room from there. However, I can't imagine how he took me into the boat with only two hands, how he broke the glass window, dragged a long fish tail, and brought me into the house.

He has no legs, so he can only rely on two hands, crawling on the ground, helping me find a warm blanket, and helping me get the spirits.

Tears rolled in my eyes.

Wu Julan pointed to his own fish tail and shook his head at me. I understood what he meant, he said: the wound has begun to heal, this little injury is nothing, don't worry!

I leaned down to see his tail.

In order to keep me warm, the air conditioner in the room is turned on to the maximum, and the warm and dry hot wind is blowing. It is good for me, but it is obvious for a mermaid who needs water and has left the water. not good.

The scales of the fish are like dried pine cones, becoming dry and warped, which is very ugly. There are also several places where it should have been scratched while crawling on the ground. The scales of the fish have all fallen off, revealing the bruised tender meat inside, which looks a bit scary.

When I stroked his wounded place with my hand, I thought that the pain of pulling out fish scales was to him like the pain of peeling off our human skin, my tears rolled down like pearls with broken strings, dripped on his tail.

Wu Julan helped me up, in order to divert my attention, he smiled and pointed to the blanket wrapped around my body, indicating that the blanket was about to slip under my chest. Instead of taking the blanket, I reached out and hugged him violently. Wu Julan hurriedly helped me hold down the slipped blanket.

He is a fishtail, and I am a person wrapped in a blanket. Both of them have limited mobility, so they hugged each other and fell to the ground.

My tears still kept falling, Wu Julan kissed me comfortingly, and wiped away the tears on my cheeks one by one with her lips.

Perhaps it is true as he said, the long years have forged him to be very strong, he will not be injured or vulnerable, let alone the feeling of being wronged. However, I still feel wronged for him.

He is a strong man in this world, obviously he doesn't have to wrong himself so much. But, because of me, he wronged himself so much! For me, on land! For me, suffer unnecessary injuries! Be clumsy for me!

I whimpered and said: "I'm fine now, you go back to the sea!"

Wu Julan glanced out the window, smiled and nodded.

I sobbed and said, "I'll help you."

He shook his head, pointed at me, and made a strenuous look, indicating that I was heavy. When going back now, it is easy for him without my dragging.

I was dumbfounded by him, "My weight is just right, so I'm not fat!"

Wu Julan motioned me to turn my head away, not to look at him.

He is afraid that I will feel uncomfortable when I see him dragging his long fish tail awkwardly across the floor! He is so proud that he doesn't want such a clumsy and embarrassing picture to be seen by my own eyes!

I smiled at him, turned around meekly, and turned my back on him.

Hearing the heavy rubbing sound behind me, I couldn't help but started to cry again, but I didn't want him to know. I tried to hold my breath and let the tears flow quietly.

After a while, there was a "plop" sound of falling into the water.

I immediately looked back and saw that he was no longer there.

However, I know he is outside the ship, still with me.

I had something to rely on, and I was very courageous, so I grabbed the blanket and stood up. I ran out of old man Zhou's room and went to another room to find clothes to wear.

After I quickly opened the doors of several rooms, I should have found Zhou Buyan's room. The closet was full of famous brand clothes.

We are about the same size, but not the same height, and her clothes are a bit small for me, but it's better to have something to wear than nothing. I picked out a loose sweater and a long skirt and put it on. It wasn't pretty, but it was warm enough.

I wrapped the thin blanket around me like a big shawl, and walked out of the cabin impatiently.

In the cool sea breeze, dawn has already dawned in the east, and the sun is about to rise.

I couldn't help but take a deep breath, the long night is finally coming to an end!

Suddenly, my body froze, and I stared dumbfoundedly at the front—whether it was on the big ship or the two assault boats, it seemed that time was suddenly frozen, and everyone was suddenly caught in a strange posture. fell asleep.

Old man Zhou was hanging on the railing of the boat, looking excited and joyful; Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan were hugging each other and smiling sweetly; Everyone's postures are different, but their expressions are the same, and they are all smiling happily and intoxicated.

There were a lot of people around, but there was no sound. The scene was very weird, but I knew very well that it was Wu Julan who made it, so I wasn't shocked, I just thought it was amazing.

It should be the singing I heard in the dimness last night! Let people fall asleep in their most beautiful memory, unwilling to wake up.

I stared curiously at one of the crew members on the deck, hesitating to poke him to see if he would suddenly wake up.

Wu Julan's voice came from behind, "Even if you push him down, he won't wake up."

I turned around in surprise.

Wu Julan stood under the rising sun and smiled at me, "In European folklore, the singing of mermaids has magic and can charm human souls. If it is explained by modern science, it may be regarded as an advanced Hypnotize!"

It was just a short time apart, but it seemed like reunion after a long time. I had a sour nose and hot eyes, so I threw myself into his arms.

Wu Julan hugged me and said: "When the sun rises, the mermaid's magic will disappear."

As soon as his words fell, as the bright sunlight shone on a person, I heard voices one after another, and people who had fallen asleep woke up one after another.

Their consciousness is still stuck in the thinking of arresting me and Wu Julan, shouting: "Where are people? Where are they?"

"Ah - on deck!"

"Catch them!"

Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan also woke up, they looked around and then at us with surprised and confused expressions.

Because of greed and madness, old man Zhou completely ignored everything. When he saw Wu Julan and me, he shouted excitedly: "Catch them! Catch them..."

Wu Julan obediently raised her hands, expressing her full cooperation with them.

I glanced at Wu Julan, I don't know what kind of tricks he is playing, but I am sure that these people must be unlucky... I also raised my hands obediently.

When we were just escorted into the cabin, there was a sudden rumbling sound outside. Through the glass window, I saw a helicopter and a ship of the US Coast Guard. Wu Jingjing, Jiang Yisheng, and Violet were standing on the boat.

A soldier with live ammunition stood at the bow of the ship and shouted loudly in English: "We have received a report that your ship has hijacked American citizens. Now please put down your weapons and cooperate with the inspection! Repeat, put down your weapons and cooperate with the inspection..."

I went to see Wu Julan suspiciously.

Wu Julan said: "I originally wanted to kill them, but you want to live in human society, and I don't want you to suffer mental distress because of my behavior, then it's not worth it, let's use human rules to solve this matter. "

No wonder Violet never showed up, I still wonder, no matter how slow she is, she should have arrived! It turned out that Wu Julan changed the plan and asked her to call the police, and then arrived in time.

Wu Julan smiled at me, I was wondering why he suddenly smiled so softly for no reason, and then my eyes darkened, and I passed out.

When I woke up again, I was already on the helicopter back to New York, but Wu Julan was not on the plane.

Wu Jingjing said that Wu Julan, as a victim, had to report the incident to the police and cooperate with the police investigation, so he and Violet left with the police, and asked Wu Jingjing, Jiang Yisheng and me to come back first.

I asked depressedly: "Why did Wu Julan beat me unconscious?"

Wu Jingjing said in surprise: "Didn't those robbers beat you? The boss told the police that!"

The robbers beat it? Obviously he knocked me out, okay? I rubbed the back of my neck in confusion, I don't know how he hit it, but I didn't feel any pain. But why knock me out?

Wu Jingjing laughed, "The boss is really considerate and black-bellied!"

Jiang Yisheng comforted me and said, "Brother Wu is doing it for your own good. It's best not to watch that scene! I, who is used to watching corpses, can't stand it."

I asked: "What's wrong?"

Wu Jingjing succinctly described what happened after I passed out.

Old man Zhou still maintains the ferocity of pirates in his twilight years. He is not afraid of the government's army at all, and even tries to resist. However, his subordinates were not as greedy or ruthless as him. Facing the overwhelming firepower of the regular army, the thugs hired by old man Zhou quickly surrendered.

All those who tried to resist were shot dead on the spot, including old man Zhou's confidants and old man Zhou.

Wu Julan and I were successfully rescued as victims.

Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan were arrested.

Wu Jingjing told me that they will be prosecuted for kidnapping, coercion and attempted murder.

I was very sad to hear that Zhou Buwen was going to jail.

Jiang Yisheng said coldly: "Do you know how Zhou Buwen found us? Zhou Buwen installed a tracking program on my phone! Fortunately, you and Brother Ang are safe and sound, otherwise I... I ...What should we do? Everyone chooses his own path, and Zhou Buwen's path is also chosen by himself!"

I whispered: "Zhou Buwen is still merciful."

Jiang Yisheng said: "I know, so Brother Ang also showed mercy to his subordinates. However, just because he didn't kill someone when he stabbed someone, you can't think that what he did can be forgiven."

I thought about it, but didn't say anything.

From the beginning to the present, people were almost killed several times, not only Jiang Yisheng's father and my father, but also Wu Julan. If Wu Julan hadn't happened to have a special physique, he would have died twice in Yingzui Cliff last time and in the sea this time.

Wu Jingjing said: "Xiaoluo, I can understand your feelings, but the boss has already seen you and Jiang Yisheng's face, so he is merciful, otherwise it would not only be old man Zhou who was shot dead on the spot."

I sighed and said: "Don't worry! I feel bad, but I won't beg Wu Julan to let Zhou Buwen go. Let the Witch Queen get rid of this bad breath!"

Wu Jingjing patted me on the shoulder and murmured, "My grandma is going to die of anger, and I don't know how to teach me when I go back!"

When we returned to the apartment, Wu Julan and Violet had already returned.

Wu Jingjing asked in surprise, "Grandma, why are you faster than us?"

Violet said: "We took a military plane and were escorted back by the police. Naturally, we were a little faster than you."

Wu Julan asked me: "How is your health?"

I pursed my mouth and said, "It's okay! What about you?"

Wu Julan said: "No problem, a little skin trauma just helps the police to collect evidence."

I was taken aback for a moment, he really... knows how to use local materials!

Violet said to me: "The police will come later, and I need your cooperation to investigate."

"Oh, yes."

I suddenly remembered old man Zhou's last words, and my complexion changed suddenly.

Violet asked: "What's wrong?"

I hesitated to speak, Wu Jingjing said to Jiang Yisheng: "Let's go back to the room first!"

Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing left immediately.

I said worriedly: "Zhou Buwen and Zhou Buyan should know that Wu Julan is...what should I do?"

"So you are worried about this!" Violet relaxed and laughed, "Zhou Buwen is a smart person, he knows that the motive of committing the crime and the depth of his involvement in the case will affect the final verdict. Pushed it to old man Zhou, claiming that he and Zhou Buyan didn't know anything, but out of filial piety, he acted according to old man Zhou's order, and never thought of endangering other people's lives. Don't worry, he won't talk nonsense! Zhou Buyan was killed by him. Well protected, I really don’t know anything.”

I said: "But..."

Violet said with a smile: "Little Luo, subverting other people's beliefs is never an easy task! There are thousands of videos on Youtube every year claiming to have seen a mermaid, and there are videos to prove it, but who would believe it? Even if it is true, it will be regarded as false. If this Mr. Zhou says that Regulus is a mermaid, I can just ask a psychiatrist to evaluate his mental state and suggest that the prison give them compulsory medication and treatment."

I said: "Zhou Buwen got a map from the mirror in my house, it might be made by Jiaoxiao."

Violet said indifferently: "That thing...is in our laboratory now. Mr. Zhou will receive a satisfactory analysis report."

I'm relieved that the only evidence that might exist is resolved!

Old man Zhou and his confidants are gone, and the others don't know the reason why old man Zhou arrested us. Zhou Buwen listened to old man Zhou's conjecture, and made his own inference, probably only half-believed. At that time, when he chased after Old Man Zhou, he probably had the attitude of verifying the truth. As a result, before I really saw Wu Julan clearly, I was hypnotized by Wu Julan's singing.

When he received the laboratory report of the map, there might still be no way to dispel his suspicions, but he could only remain skeptical for the rest of his life. As Violet said, even if he said Regulus was a mermaid, who would believe it?

If I hadn't met Wu Julan, and suddenly someone came to tell me that some two-legged, unbelievably normal-looking person was a mermaid, I would have laughed dryly and backed away quietly, I told myself in my heart not to provoke the lunatic, and it would be better to run away as soon as possible!

Violet hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Regulus, when we arrived, no one was injured. The action you took should be very gentle. Did you hypnotize them all with the mermaid singing?"

Wu Julan stared at Violet, and said lightly: "It seems that you have memorized all the knowledge taught by the elders."

"Thank you for your compliment!" Violet smiled stiffly and said to me, "Then don't worry. Not all mermaids can use voice as a weapon. Regulus is the strongest among mermaids. It’s the singing of the night of the full moon again, and all those hypnotized by the singing will have more and more confused memories of that night.”

So it is! I began to wonder how Violet knew so much about mermaids. What is the relationship between their family and mermaids? I took a look at Wu Julan and thought maybe I should find a chance to ask him. After all, from a certain point of view, Violet and the others are now equivalent to my in-laws.
