After hugging the tail of the fish

Yu Guiyang knew that his sister-in-law had made up her mind, and besides being distressed, she admired her more.

He and his sister-in-law are the closest people to Lao Wang, and they are well aware of the hardships of guarding Haima Beach.

But even so, Lin Lihua resolutely chose to give up her beloved job and easy life, and came to this barren island to continue to complete his unfinished business for Wang Yongjie.

He won't persuade her to give up, he just can't bear it: "Sister-in-law, have you really thought about it? The old people still need your care, and Xiao Sigui can't leave her mother..."

"I've made up my mind." Her eyes were as firm as a mountain. "Small, Haima Beach needs someone to guard it. This is his tomb. By guarding this island, I'm guarding him."

Yu Guiyang didn't speak any more, he quietly looked at the tough woman in front of him, feeling panicked in his heart.

But at the same time, he also wanted to understand a lot of things.

"Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, before today, I was still hesitating about the future path of the mermaid." He said.

Lin Lihua looked at him tenderly: "Then do you have the answer now?"

"Well, I've already made up my mind." He nodded slightly and said apologetically, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend Brother Wang's memorial service."

"Stupid child," Lin Lihua shook her head, "He won't blame you, and I won't blame you either."

"Do you have any incense here? I want to burn incense for him." Yu Guiyang asked.

Lin Lihua got up and opened the warehouse, and found an incense burner in the cabinet, with incense and paper money beside it.

Lin Lihua's eyes were red: "He once told me that he put offerings in the warehouse. If something happens to him one day, he will pay homage to him on this small island. He can't leave here."

Yu Guiyang took the censer silently, maybe the moment Lao Wang landed on this small island and decided to guard it, he was already ready to die in line of duty.

He took the incense burner to the seashore, filled it with drier sand from the beach, lit the incense, and waved it gently above his head.

The mist is lingering, and the lighthouse in the distance emits distant light, which occasionally projects over, and you can also see the fragrant dust hidden in the light.

A ray of sea breeze caressed by, and the smoke drifted into the distance with the sea breeze.

Accompanied by unburned paper money.

"Sister-in-law, it's windy, let's go back." Yu Guiyang said.

Lin Lihua got up, and suddenly shouted to the sea: "Wang Yongjie, everything is fine here, your home, your island, I will protect you! If you are satisfied, remember to come and see me in your dreams! Listen! Arrived without you bastard!"

Yu Guiyang couldn't hold back anymore, he buried his head in Chi Yuan's arms, his shoulders shrugged.

Chi Yuan gently stroked the little mermaid's hair to comfort him.

The incense burnt out.

Yu Guiyang and Lin Lihua returned to the hut and said good night to each other.

Lying in Chi Yuan's arms, Yu Guiyang hugged Chi Yuan's arms tightly: "Promise me one thing."

"what?"

"Never leave me."

Only after seeing the life and death of others, will you realize how lucky you are.

Although the road ahead is difficult.

But as long as Chi Yuan is still there, his heart will be at ease.

"Okay, I promise you." Chi Yuan's voice sounded slowly, deep but firm: "From now on, we will share the blessings, share the difficulties, and stay in the same boat through thick and thin, and never leave."

These words seemed familiar, Yu Guiyang couldn't help but raise his eyes.

Chi Yuan kissed Yu Guiyang's forehead: "Remember, when you announced that I was your partner in the Ocean Tribe, you said these words."

He was a little surprised: "Do you remember?"

Chi Yuan hooked his lips: "I will record everything you said here."

He took the little mermaid's hand and pressed it to his heart, and there was a bottomless tenderness hidden in his deep green eyes.

Yu Guiyang admitted that he was bewitched.

He slowly closed his eyes, allowing Chi Yuan's kiss to invade and occupy his mouth, his thoughts, and his body.

……

The next day, Yu Guiyang used the landline on the island to contact Zhang Yangshuo.

"My little ancestor, you finally called me, I thought you had forgotten about me!" Zhang Yangshuo's tone sounded a little anxious.

Thinking about it, even though he told Lao Zhang that he was going to look for Wang Yongjie before he left, he didn't make an appointment with him when he would come back.Zhang Yangshuo probably thought that he would be back within a week at most, but he didn't expect that he would go for a month.

As a partner who discusses major issues, he is indeed not authentic enough.

So he sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, I was too capricious, I'll just pass."

Yu Guiyang's softness made Zhang Yangshuo a little embarrassed.

He knows Yu Guiyang's feelings for Wang Yongjie, if it were him, if something happened to his relatives, he would not have the mind to take care of other things: "No hurry, I have nothing serious, I just worry about your safety .”

"What's the result of the research?" Yu Guiyang asked.

Zhang Yangshuo: "It went very well. The tailbone of your two elders has healed, and the old injuries in the waist are also recovering. They can swim slowly now. I believe they will be able to return to the ocean in a short time."

Finally there is good news!

Yu Guiyang simply asked Zhang Yangshuo to pick them up at the old place because he couldn't speak clearly on the phone.

Putting down the phone, Yu Guiyang excitedly said to Chi Yuan: "Shuifang and Yuanfeng's injuries have healed, and Zhang Yangshuo said they can swim in the water!"

Chi Yuan was also very pleasantly surprised: "They must be very happy now after being paralyzed for so many years."

"Yes, if the teacher knows, he will be happy for them."

And more importantly, the success of Shuifang and Yuanfeng's tailbone surgery is enough to prove that the mermaid's bone cells have the ability to regenerate.If it can be applied to modern medicine, it may benefit those disabled patients due to injury!

With the help of Lin Lihua, Yu Guiyang and Chi Yuan entered the sea water.

Not long after, Zhang Yangshuo drove a helicopter to meet them.

"I'm sorry about Wang Yongjie's matter." Zhang Yangshuo said to Guiyang while debugging the helicopter, "I've been following the news these days, and I've also asked some search and rescue team members, and the situation is not optimistic."

What Zhang Yangshuo said was quite euphemistic. Although legally, only four years of missing persons, or more than two years of accidental disappearance can be regarded as death, but in such a situation, if no one can be found for a month, the chance of survival is small. Pitiful.

Yu Guiyang shook his head: "I understand, I've been searching for a whole month, but I haven't found his whereabouts."

"I will help apply for the martyr's pension, at least to provide living security for Mr. Wang's widow and young daughter." Zhang Yangshuo said.

Yu Guiyang: "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, they're also my neighbors."

The helicopter landed on the airfield of the research institute. Zhang Yangshuo understood what the two mermaids were thinking, and after arranging wheelchairs for them, he led them to the swimming pool.

The swimming pool, which is not considered spacious, is now even more crowded with three mermaids.

But they didn't mind at all, Shuifang and Yuanfeng enjoyed the pleasure of swimming to the fullest, after being paralyzed for so many years, they never thought that there would be a day of recovery!

And Autumn Equinox doesn't mind it anymore, it is very rare for her to have a mermaid to accompany her.

"They seem to like this place more than the cold storage, so I didn't decide to separate them," Zhang Yangshuo said.

Yu Guiyang said with a smile: "Maybe they prefer the open air. Although the cold storage is good and spacious enough, it is a closed environment after all, and you can't see the sky."

Zhang Yangshuo nodded slightly: "Maybe, I think you guys have something to talk about, I'll go and sort out my information first, after you finish talking, you can find me in my laboratory."

"it is good."

Zhang Yangshuo and his wife briefly hugged each other before heading to the laboratory alone.

Shuifang and Yuanfeng also saw the figures of Yu Guiyang and Chi Yuan, and they excitedly waved to Yu Guiyang and the others: "Guiyang, Chi Yuan, you are finally back!"

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Yu Guiyang came to them in a wheelchair.

Shuifang asked worriedly: "Did something happen to the ethnic group?"

He shook his head: "No, it's something else." He didn't want to say more, so he changed the topic, "I heard from Zhang Yangshuo that you have recovered your ability to move, congratulations."

Shuifang smiled and said: "It's all thanks to you, Guiyang, Yuanfeng and I never thought that there would be a day when we could resume action! Everything now is like a dream, it's so beautiful !"

"Teacher will be very happy when he sees your recovery," Yu Guiyang said.

"By the way, when are we going back?" Shui Fang asked, "This place is still too small, I don't like it."

This made him a little embarrassed.

Because he didn't know Zhang Yangshuo's arrangement, and he didn't know whether Shuifang and Yuanfeng's cooperation was still needed.

He can only say to the elders: "Be patient, you have been paralyzed for many years. Although your bones have recovered, it will take a period of rehabilitation to return to the peak state of your body."

Shui Fang asked puzzledly, "What is rehabilitation?"

"It is through systematic training to let the body adapt to the current physiological functions." Yu Guiyang explained, "In simple terms, it can help you swim faster."

Shuifang and Yuanfeng looked at each other and said, "Then I will stay."

No mermaid can resist the temptation to swim faster. They are eager to support themselves and no longer be a burden to the group.

To Shuifang and Yuanfeng, the experience of the past month is undoubtedly novel.

They told Yu Guiyang some of the tests they had done, and they also said that they saw many miraculous pictures in the square box.

Yu Guiyang: "That's TV, do you like it too?"

Shuifang and Yuanfeng nodded one after another.

"It seems that you are the same as Chi Yuan, he also likes watching TV." Yu Guiyang laughed.

He even imagined that one day, the mermaids would sit in a row and watch TV in front of the TV.With melon seeds and fruits at hand, they can gather together to talk and laugh happily without worrying about being discovered by humans.

For that day to come, he is willing to fight for it, even giving everything like Lao Wang.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yu Guiyang and Chi Yuan came to Zhang Yangshuo's laboratory.

Zhang Yangshuo had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw him coming, he briefly shared his research results with Yu Guiyang.

Well, it is very simple.

It was so simple that Guiyang couldn't understand it at all.

"I said," said Yu Guiyang, "you don't need to explain the theory to me in detail, can you just tell me the result?"

Zhang Yangshuo said innocently: "How can there be no results without theory? We are partners, and I have the responsibility and obligation to let you know all the details of our cooperation."

Yu Guiyang said: "I allow you to skip the theoretical part, I believe in your major, but can you consider the cultural level of the audience?"

Damn, he graduated from a prestigious university anyway. Although he majored in marine biology, he also took some biology courses when he was in college.

In front of Zhang Yangshuo, he seemed half illiterate.

As for Chi Yuan... He is still really illiterate and can't be counted on.

Zhang Yangshuo scratched his head in embarrassment: "My language organization ability is not very good, but if you ask me to do so, I can give it a try."

"Please give it a try!" He didn't want to listen to the bible anymore!

"The result of the experiment is that there is a gene sequence in the bone cells of the mermaid, which determines its ability to regenerate. Human genes do not contain this sequence. If this sequence can be added to human bone cells through genetic engineering , can regenerate people's broken or even shattered bones." Zhang Yangshuo said.

Yu Guiyang has heard a little about genetic engineering. Genetic engineering is also called gene splicing technology and DNA recombination technology. In simple terms, it is to introduce foreign genes, or external genes, into recipient cells after in vitro recombination.Recipient cells possess some fragments of exogenous genes, which can be replicated, transcribed, translated, and expressed in recipient cells.

However, the technology involved in genetic engineering is very complicated, and it is also very difficult to operate in practice.In many cases, although it can be successful in theory, it will always fail due to various reasons, such as the rejection of foreign genes and recipient cells, or the risk of harmful gene mutations and so on.

Yu Guiyang said sternly: "To be honest, I don't know much about genetic engineering, and I don't have any advice for you. If you think this is a feasible path, just go ahead and do it. Besides, we There is no other way out."

Zhang Yangshuo nodded slightly: "I understand, I will continue to improve my research report, and submit it when the time is right. I will first limit the scope of application of this research to the disabled soldiers due to injuries and battles. Every Each soldier is an important asset to the country, if we can provide services to them, then the mermaid bone cells will become a strategic resource and gain the country's attention."

Yu Guiyang agreed: "This plan is feasible, but we won't hunt mermaids because of the need for bone cells, then we will lose more than we gain."

"No," Zhang Yangshuo said firmly, "Bone cells include two types, one is 'osteoclasts' and the other is 'osteoblasts'. They are all formed by the division of bone stem cells, and these cells To maintain the activity, the normal operation of the mermaid body must be guaranteed. That is to say, to obtain bone cells, the mermaid must first ensure the normal life. Only in this way can the activity of the cells be guaranteed. Don’t worry, I will emphasize this point in the report to guide the country Create a livable environment for mermaids."

"Good job!"

Although Yu Guiyang couldn't guarantee that his and Zhang Yangshuo's efforts would be rewarded.

But they've done the best they can.

As for the decision-making, that is something that the higher-ups have to consider.

He and Lao Zhang will not overdo it.

"By the way," Yu Guiyang asked thinking of Shui Fang and Yuan Feng, "When can I take our two elders back? Your swimming pool is too small, it's not suitable for them three mermaids to squeeze together."

Zhang Yangshuo said sadly, "Do they want to leave?"

Yu Guiyang thought Zhang Yangshuo was inconvenient: "If research or treatment is still needed, they can stay here. They really want to go back to the sea, but compared to this, our research report and their physical health are more important. important."

"The follow-up improvement of the research report is actually not a big problem with whether they are here." Zhang Yangshuo said frankly, "I have already retained their bone cells and put them in a petri dish for preservation and reproduction. These cells are enough to supply Research is needed. As for the treatment, they just need to run in with their new bones. Their bone cells can regenerate. To put it bluntly, those bones are theirs. Just deal with it."

After hearing what Zhang Yangshuo said, Yu Guiyang couldn't help feeling confused: "Since they can't help you if they stay here, why don't you seem to want to let them go?"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else!" Zhang Yangshuo quickly clarified.

"I didn't misunderstand," he shook his head and laughed, "I'm just curious. I absolutely believe in you, you can rest assured about that."

Zhang Yangshuo explained embarrassingly: "I think it's too lonely for Autumn Equinox to stay alone in the swimming pool. I haven't seen her so happy for a long time. I hope she can always be so happy. At least, don't let everything go to zero so soon."

It turned out to be for the autumnal equinox.

Yu Guiyang came to a sudden, he might be able to understand why the Autumnal Equinox couldn't speak and couldn't return to the sea, but he was still so optimistic.

The love between a human and a mermaid is much cleaner, purer and longer lasting than that of many resentful couples.

"Let me discuss with the elders." Yu Guiyang wanted to fulfill Lao Zhang, but he couldn't ignore the elders' thoughts because of this. "If they agree, let them stay. But if they don't want to, I still have to bring They leave."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Zhang Yangshuo clasped his hands together.

At this moment, he is not the academically superb and respected Director Zhang, but just a husband who has worked hard to make his beloved wife happy.

The author has something to say: Yu Guiyang: If you don’t come back, Lao Wang, the memorial service will be over
