Chapter 204 Farewell
"He must love his wife very much." Zheng Qing sat on the beach, looking at the figures in the distance, feeling sorry for them and envious of that woman. She could have a man who loved her deeply. Even if her life was short, why would she be afraid of death? After saying this, she couldn't help but look at Han Ke, but in just a moment, she hurriedly moved her gaze back to the sea.
Su Wenwen and Li Fei'er didn't say anything, but just pulled Han Ke's arm tighter.
···
"Thank you!" Looking at the middle-aged woman's slowly dissipating figure, the man's eyes slowly lost their luster.
"Then what are you going to do next?" Although the middle-aged man is not a human, he is a affectionate person. Han Ke did not have a strange repulsion towards him, but instead had a little more sympathy.
"She always said she wanted to see my hometown." The middle-aged man came to this human society with crisis everywhere, just to accompany his beloved woman. Now, the person he loved the most has passed away and he has no reason to stay here.
"I have something to ask for before leaving?"
"You said that as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
"This is the key to our family. After I leave, I will trouble you to go there. She likes to raise fish. If the fish in the family are not cared for for a long time, they will die. If possible, please put them back to the sea." The middle-aged man handed a silver exquisite key to Han Ke and told him the specific location of the house. Then he continued: "We have no assets, and we will give you the house and the things inside to you for your disposal. There is a mahogany box on the bookshelf in the study. The things in the box are a treasure of the mermaid clan. I'll give it to my little brother at that time. I hope the little brother will accept it."
After explaining this, the middle-aged man smiled at Han Ke with relief. The skin on his body gradually changed into translucent scales little by little. His face was almost covered with scales, and his eyes turned royal blue again. Unlike last time, a row of cheek-like incisions grew on his erect neck, and a dark gray tail about two meters grew behind him. This might be the true appearance of the mermaid.
The mermaid picked up the middle-aged woman's body and made a strange cry at Han Ke, as if she was saying the last goodbye, then jumped and jumped into the dark and dark sea water.
Han Ke found Su Wenwen and the others in the distance, and was about to walk back, suddenly, he heard the song the night before yesterday, and looked back at the rising and falling sea surface. Han Ke felt a sourness in his heart. Life and death separation, whether it is humans, mermaids, or other species, they may not be able to escape this natural number.
The next day, Han Ke led Feier, Su Wenwen and Zheng Qing to the Mermaid's home. The location was not far away, and it was also on the beach, only ten minutes from the hotel, but the place was relatively remote. As for Huang Yue and Zhu Qianqian, they flew back to Nanling in advance. Han Ke guessed that Huang Yue must have been rushing to go back to find Mao Xiaohong to treat his deficiency disease.
Han Ke did not hide too much from Su Wenwen and the others. In addition to his own real situation, he also told them about the mermaids one by one. However, Li Fei'er was fine. Zheng Qing and Su Wenwen didn't believe what Han Ke said at all. They didn't believe there were mermaids in this world, and they also thought that Han Ke deliberately made it up and deceived them.
Until they found a diary at the mermaid's home, a diary written by the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman lived by the beach since she was a child. Her ancestors were fishermen for generations, and they all survived by fishing. When she was 7 years old, she rescued a strange big fish that was about to be stranded and suffocated by the beach. Since then, the strange fish have to come to her every once in a while. As time goes by, the two have established a deep friendship.
But the little girl and the strange fish were finally discovered by her family. The little girl's family locked her in the house and refused to let her go out all day. Finally one day, a homeless little boy suddenly came from somewhere in the village. The little boy ignored anyone, and only when he saw the little girl, he smiled happily.
More than ten years later, the girl suffered from a strange disease. It was useless to see all the local hospitals. Her family had even thought of giving up treatment, but the boy sneaked into the girl's room one night. The next day, the girl's illness was cured in an instant.
Zheng Qing read the contents of the diary and her eyes were red. This diary records most of the lives of boys and girls, witnessing their bumpy but extraordinary love.
There is no description of what boy used to cure the girl, but Han Ke guessed that the girl's illness was not cured, but ate something special to relieve the disease. Last night, Han Ke saw with his own eyes that the mermaid cut his wrist while trying to save the middle-aged woman and dripped the light blue blood from her body into the woman's mouth.
The medicine that the mermaid repeatedly mentioned when she blamed herself last night should be his blood.
As for why the mermaid was not with his lover at that time, Han Ke found the answer in the second half of his diary.
The mermaid cannot leave the sea for too long, and must go back to the deep sea every other period to stay for a day or two. At first it was once every six months, then it was once every three months, then it was once a month, and then it was once a day. The mermaid's physique could not withstand the long-term Lu Ju life. Han Ke met the mermaid on the first night, which was probably because he had just come out of the sea and had just become a human. The woman's reaction the next day was probably because she was afraid that the identity of the mermaid would be discovered by Han Ke, so she deliberately kept her distance.
The mermaids are right. They have a lot of fish in their house, but Han Ke didn't expect that there would be so many. The basement was converted into a large fish pond, with transparent tempered glass on the floor. The types of fish in the pond were diverse and diverse, and some of them were not necessarily seen in the aquarium.
"How great would it be if they could stay together forever?" Zheng Qing looked at the fish swimming underwater and felt a lot of emotion.
"Life is only decades short, and it's a blink of an eye. As long as we really have each other, why not lose it?" Han Ke stood beside Zheng Qing and said softly.
"Have your family asked you to go back again?" Han Ke asked Zheng Qing.
"Um"
"I'll go back with you"
"No need" As soon as Han Ke finished speaking, Zheng Qing refused decisively. She deliberately kept the distance between her and Han Ke, not only for Su Wenwen, but also for herself, for herself, for her ability to maintain a state of sane in front of Han Ke.
···
Han Ke and his group stayed here for two more days until they handled the mermaid's explanation, and then they set off to return to Nanling.
