Chapter 506: Healing
Through the gap between the three uncles and three aunts, Sun Changkong was finally able to observe Xiu'er's condition up close, but under the light green light of the Night Pearl, an unbelievable look immediately rose on his face, and then exclaimed: "You...... How could you be a merman!"
That's right, Sun Changkong is not talking nonsense, Xiu'er, who is lying on the bed in the dark at the moment, is presenting in front of him in the appearance of a shark, scales, fish tails, and that kind of iconic sea fishy atmosphere, Sun Changkong can be sure that the other party must be a merman.

"Third uncle, did you pick Xiu'er back from outside?"
As soon as the words came out, Sun Changkong felt that something was wrong. Because judging from his eyebrows, Xiu'er does have a striking resemblance to the third uncle and his wife, especially on his forehead, there is a scab that is almost exactly the same as the third aunt, if it is just a coincidence, he will not believe it if he is killed.
Seeing Sun Changkong's confused expression, without waiting for his parents to answer, Xiu'er had already continued: "Don't doubt it, I am my father's biological flesh and blood, just look at the scabs on my head." ”
"But...... And what's going on with your body?"
At this time, the third uncle couldn't bear it anymore and interjected: "In the past, my leap girl was also like other people's children, with sound legs and feet, and she could jump and jump. But since an accident ten years ago, things have changed. ”
"Oh, what kind of accident can make a person change so drastically, I really can't imagine. ”
As soon as Sun Changkong finished speaking, Xiu'er had already sat up from the bed. Through the faint light, it can be seen that her identity is extremely weak at this time, most of her body has become shriveled and dull due to long-term dehydration, and the only upper body that still retains the special human body has also shown signs of "sharkization", and the rudimentary shape of scales can be faintly seen on the arm, but it has not become hard enough, and it will bleed and break when encountering a slight external force.
"One day ten years ago, on an ordinary afternoon, I sneaked to the beach to play, and there I met a strange person. The man was dressed in a fat robe, and his entire body was wrapped in black, and he couldn't even see his face. He gave me a pale pill and told me to take it on the spot. ”
Sun Changkong couldn't help but say, "So you became like this?"
Xiu'er nodded in agreement, and then continued: "We, the children of fishermen, have been with water all year round. After taking the pills, my body did not change immediately. And it wasn't until the moment I entered the sea that I realized what a nightmare was. My skin, or my body, reacted with the sea in unimaginable violence, and slices of crystal clear, multicolored fish appeared on my skin one after another. My legs were forcibly glued together by an invisible force, and a tail like a fish grew out. When I tried my best to climb to the shore, I realized that it was not a dream. ”
At this time, the third uncle followed Xiu'er's words and continued: "When my mother and I found out, she was already unconscious on the beach. lest outsiders beat Xiu'er's idea, I wrapped her whole with clothes, and when I met someone, I said that the child was drowning and choked on a few mouthfuls of seawater. When I got home, my husband and I tried everything we could to help me restore my appearance, and even forcibly removed the scales. However, the situation is far worse than we imagined, Xiu'er's merman characteristics are extremely remarkable, and she has the ability to repair quickly. One moment the scales were peeled off, and the next moment new soft matter had poured out, and it quickly returned to its previous state. After several attempts, we found that as long as Xiu'er was not allowed to come into contact with the water, the 'mermaidization' would slow down, and the scales would not appear as fast as before. ”
Listening to her father's account of what happened to her, Xiu'er stretched out her palm, examined her deformed body, and muttered, "I look like a ghost, no matter who sees it, I'm afraid I'll be scared!" I have had suicidal thoughts more than once, but my father and mother stopped me in time. ”
Hearing this, the third aunt's eyes flashed with tears, and her voice trembled: "If you die, your father and I will not live." As long as we don't die, we will never give up hope. ”
Infected by the deep family affection of this family, Sun Changkong couldn't help but say: "That's right, you haven't had a good time and haven't enjoyed it, how can you say goodbye to this world." What's more, I'm here now, maybe God sent me to help you. ”
Xiu'er looked at Sun Changkong, first stunned, and then a bright smile appeared on her face, and said in a slightly joking tone: "Are you a heavenly soldier or a heavenly general?"
"Well, that's not true. However, now my situation is far worse than yours, and you may not believe it when you say it, I only have seven days. After seven days, no matter what, I will disappear and cease to exist. ”
Sun Changkong's was obviously beyond the expectations of the third uncle's family present, especially Xiu'er, who jumped directly from the bed to the ground in surprise, reached out and took Sun's palm, and said in a gentle tone: "What happened to you again, why did you say such decisive words?"
Sun Changkong lowered his head, smiled bitterly, and replied: "My affairs are not something that can be explained in a few words, if I have time, I can talk to you about it." I have other important things to do, so now it's time to get your problems out of the way as soon as possible. ”
Although Sun Changkong's words moved Xiu'er very much, after thinking about it for a while, she said in frustration: "Hey~ It's not me who hit you, my father and mother have traveled a lot for me over the years and visited many famous doctors and hermits, and they are all helpless about my situation, let alone you." If you really have something urgent to do, then go ahead and don't waste time on me. ”
"Hehe, my affairs are important, but I, Sun Changkong, am not the kind of person who does not believe in his words. Now that the words have been released, I will take care of this matter to the end. Besides, if the third uncle and three aunts failed to find a cure, it doesn't mean that I can't. ”
Seeing the other party's confident appearance, Xiu'er said excitedly: "Could it be that you already have a way to cure my illness?"
"Not really, but I already have a clue. Perhaps, we can give it a try. ”
The more the third uncle heard this, he felt suspenseful, so he opened his mouth and asked Sun Changkong, "Where did you get the clue?"
Sun Changkong said: "You told me! The seaside is the seaside! Since Xiu'er had an accident there, then we should go there." I think the person who gave Xiu'er the pill should know the ins and outs of the matter! If he can be found, Xiu'er's body will be able to recover nine times out of ten. ”
Sun Changkong's words made the eyes of the third uncle and his wife in the dark room on the ground suddenly brighten, and they only hated how they couldn't think of this in the first place. Otherwise, Xiu'er may have returned to her human form, and she doesn't have to suffer this kind of sin anymore. The more the third uncle thought about it, the more he felt self-blame, and in the end, he burst into tears, hugged Sun's hands, and said excitedly: "If it is really as you said, after finding that person, you can cure Xiu'er's illness, and our husband and wife will treat you as a cow and a horse without regrets!"
Sun Changkong smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Don't say that, after all, I have also received your favor!"
"But you saved both of us just now. Otherwise, the merman has already been snatched by my eldest brother. ”
"It's just a gesture, and what is that doing. Since our fate allows us to meet, it means that we are born with a few fates, and no one can stop us. ”
The third aunt was equally grateful: "Young man, you are really the savior of our family. ”
Sun Changkong hurriedly said: "Don't say that, I can't afford it." In this case, let's go outside and think about it for the long term, and then make a decision!"
The third uncle was eager to try: "If you have any plans, just go to the beach directly." For us fishermen, there is nothing more familiar. ”
"Hehe, third uncle, you are really carried away by hope! Now in the middle of the night, how can there be anyone there, even if there are people, it is a ghost, right?"
Sun Changkong thought that what he said was very reasonable, and the other party should not say anything. But the third uncle said: "Then you are wrong, there are indeed people on the beach now." I'm sure of it!"
"Oh, what do people do when they don't sleep at home at night and go to the beach?"
The third uncle smiled and said: "You don't know this! This season, crabs will go to the shore to lay eggs, and many fishermen will take advantage of this opportunity to catch a big catch, saving time and effort, and they will never get tired of it." If you go now, there's a good chance you'll run into them. ”
"In that case, why don't you go and catch crabs, third uncle?"
The third uncle sighed, and then said, "Although we are coarse, we are still bastards to that extent. At this time, although the crabs are fat and large, and there are delicious crab roe in their bodies, they will cause irreparable damage to the crab group if they blindly hunt and kill them during the spawning period, and in the long run, they will definitely enter the road of extinction. In some places, the mountains are closed for hunting in the winter, just to protect these conceived individuals, and the purpose is to allow the species to reproduce. Therefore, we would rather not do this kind of unreasonable business. ”
After listening to the words of the third uncle, Sun Changkong began to sincerely admire the old couple. They may not have received much education and can't speak like poets, but they have a kind heart, and they keep their duty and don't go beyond the thunder pool. Thinking about the sentient beings in the world, how many of them can reach this state of having a clear conscience? In this way, Sun Changkong's conviction has become even firmer. He must help Xiu'er return to the human body. Certain!
