[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

There is warm liquid all around, as if still in the mother's womb, curled up in the amniotic fluid, carefree and carefree.

Reiko lay on her side inside a huge shell, her stagnant thinking started to function again, and her consciousness slowly returned.Her eyelashes fluttered and she opened her hazel eyes again.

Surrounding it is a room decorated with various shells and coral clumps. The night pearl placed on the reef exudes a soft light, and there are a few clusters of aquatic plants floating in the corner.

There is sea water everywhere here, perhaps because the sea water is too full, the ripples that will be left on the sea surface can't be seen, except that the material in the filled space changes from gas to liquid, everything is the same as that on the shore. No difference.

"You're finally awake. I thought those mermaid meats would be useless after being stored for too long." A joyful and complaining voice came over.

Reiko propped herself up, and saw Ama twisting her bloated waist and crawling towards her.

The memory flashed back to my mind in an instant.

The feeling of the cold blade passing through the body, the feeling of the temperature gradually losing from the body, gradually became clearer.

"Did you save me?"

"It's a coincidence that after learning what happened that day, Master Umibo forced me to come over to thank you. We just arrived at the beach and saw you fell into the sea, so we brought you back."

Reiko touched her chest when she heard the words, and the place that was pierced by the blade had become as good as before, and even a little scar could not be seen: "It's amazing, it can be restored like this in just a few days."

"How many days?" Haenyeo's voice suddenly rose, "In terms of human time, two full years have passed!"

"Two years! How is it possible!" Reiko was stunned, and various thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally she settled on the desperate voice of boys and girls.

If the boys and girls bring back the news of their own death, Qingming will be very worried, right?Moreover, I have been here for so long, and the fragments of the Kusanagi sword have not been successfully found. I don't know how Heianjing is now.

Seeing Reiko's unbelievable expression, Haenyeo twisted her waist in dissatisfaction, and then found a stone pier to sit down on: "Don't be dissatisfied, you are lucky if you can live. If it wasn't for the knife that was a little bit off, no Pierce through the heart; if we hadn't kept that 800-year-old mermaid, you'd be dead."

Reiko is very convinced that with Ye Bu's strength, it is impossible for her to avoid the vital point, that is to say, did Ye Bu spare her life at the end?

If he didn't want to kill her, why did he swing the knife at her?

Reiko shook her head, since she didn't understand, she might as well ask directly the next time they meet - if there is still a day to meet.

But even if Ye Bu's knife didn't hit the vitals directly, it would be no easy task to save himself, wait... Mermaid flesh?

"You mean, eat the mermaid meat that will make you immortal?" This is something more inconceivable to Reiko than sleeping for two years.

"That's the way it is, but the mermaid meat I gave you still has some effect, but it's not good. After all, it took two years just to repair your fatal injury." The origin of mermaid meat.

800 years ago, Qiuzi ate mermaid meat on her wedding day, but Qiuzi's father, who killed the mermaid, died in the room the next day, shriveled and terrified.

The mermaid, with a human body and fish tail, is extremely beautiful.

There are extremely beautiful legends about it, both in the East and in the West.

When the mermaid is alive, it has the most beautiful figure in the world; but when it dies, it will turn into an extremely ugly monster, and then all the essence of its body will be gathered in the fish tail, and those who eat it will be immortal.

The villagers all said that the person who killed the mermaid would be cursed by the mermaid and die suddenly.Little did they know, the one who was really cursed was the one who ate the mermaid meat.

The leftover mermaid was thrown back into the sea along with its carcass, sinking to the bottom of the sea.

After several years, it was obtained by the owner of this sea area, Kaibozu, and then preserved.

For 800 years, mermaid meat is still crystal clear, shining like jade.But in fact, the internal activity of mermaid meat has been continuously lost over time. In a few hundred years, there will be no real mermaid meat in this world, and the legend of mermaid will become a myth.

"So, I won't grow old or die now?" Reiko had the urge to laugh, the treasure that countless people couldn't find was easily obtained by someone who had never sought it.

"You'd better not think that way." Haenyeofang showed a serious expression, "Mermaid meat can greatly improve the activity of a person's body. If it was Qiuzi who ate mermaid meat 800 years ago, his head would probably be chopped off." It’s also very difficult to die. But Reiko, you are different. Now the efficacy of mermaid meat is not as good as before. This time you were injured and fell into a coma for two years. Next time it may be four years, and next time you may never wake up again gone."

For some reason, Reiko breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

The reason why a person knows how to cherish is because he may lose something.

The shorter the life of a person, the more he will cherish the beauty of life.

In the eyes of an invisible person, every color is gorgeous; in the ears of an invisible person, any sound is beautiful; in the eyes of a dying person, every minute is precious .

Therefore, in the eyes of a person with endless life, I am afraid that everything is extremely boring.

Reiko doesn't want to treat herself and the people around her numbly, so she doesn't want to have an immortal life.In this way, she will cherish herself and others.

Reiko stepped off the shell bed and stretched her limbs.

Perhaps because of the miraculous effect of mermaid meat, she can breathe freely in the water, and her body does not feel weak or unfamiliar after a long time of inactivity.

"Thank you, Ama, but I have to leave now, because there are still people waiting for me to go back." Reiko showed a gentle expression as she said.

A flash of understanding flashed in Ama's eyes, because she would sometimes use this expression to miss Umibozu's salty fish face: "You asked me to help you find the glowing fragments before, right? About this Umibozu For some news, you might as well wait for him to come back."

"Really?" Reiko was very surprised.

"What are you doing lying to you?" Haenyeo rolled her eyes, "That guy is exchanging pearls and fishermen for food. Speaking of which, since using your method, we have never been hungry again. Just relying on this alone, you We will help no matter what."

Reiko showed a happy smile, and her eyes fell on the swollen stomach of Ama: "Is this your new child?"

"What's new and old? The pregnancy time of monsters is different from that of humans. You humans are pregnant in October, but for monsters, ten years and twenty years are common."

"That's right, it will definitely come soon, the day your child is born." Reiko sincerely wished.

Haenyeofang gently stroked her belly, and the happy scene after the birth of the child appeared in her mind, evoking a smile.

She has suffered a lot in the past, and she also hated the world crazily. Fortunately, she met a silly monster——Umibozu.

So she chose to let go, and finally had a real home.

"Xiaofang, Xiaofang, I'm back! I brought you back your favorite fish!" A flattering voice came from outside the house, and the words were full of flattery.

Haenyeo's room restrained her gentle look just now, her eyes widened, and an unknown aura spread: "What are you talking about! Reiko is awake, don't embarrass me!"

"Little girl is awake?" The chubby figure of Master Kaifang squeezed in, slowly twirling his beard with one hand, and posing the score, "Little girl, you should know that your life was saved by our husband and wife, and my body For the famous Lord of the Ocean..."

But before Haifangzhu finished speaking, a tail was unceremoniously slapped: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Ouch!" Master Umibo hurriedly supported Ama, "Does your tail hurt? You are pregnant with a child, don't wrong yourself."

"..." Reiko looked at the scene in front of her, and couldn't help being a little speechless.

Could this be the legendary... strict wife control?

Even Ama, who was used to all this, panicked with embarrassment, and quickly interrupted Umibozu's concern for herself: "Okay, okay, Reiko is in a hurry to find the fragments, didn't you say that you have found the clues? "

Umibozu held his tail and looked at it for a long time, and finally confirmed that the tail of the sea female house was not broken, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and put on an old-fashioned expression to Reiko: "Of course the thing was found, and it fell into the ground." In the hands of a monster named 'Jiaotu'. That female monster loves beauty very much, so when she sees something shiny, she puts it away as a treasure and shows it off everywhere."

Umibozu paused as he said this, and looked at Reiko as he wrote, showing a "come and praise me" expression.

Reiko looked at it for a long time, but she didn't understand Kaibozu's hint: "Then what?"

Master Kaifang said with a look of "children can't be taught", and said boringly: "Then that Jiaotu gave the name to a human, and left with the human."

Hearing this, Reiko was really disappointed.

Seeing Reiko's lost look, Master Kaifang couldn't help but raised his beard, and started trembling again: "However, this small matter will not trouble me as the Lord of the Ocean."

Ama couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Umibozu on the red fish head: "Just tell me the result!"

"Uh..." Kaifangzhu glanced at Ama with aggrieved eyes, "The result is that Jiaotu is now on a boat, and I can take you there at any time. But the name of that Jiaotu is in the hands of a human, I don't know If you dare to fight hard, it is up to you whether you can get that fragment."

"That's enough!" Reiko finally figured out Umibozu's character, and then added with a smile, "Thank you, Umibozu, you are really amazing!"

"Hmph, small matter, small matter." Haifangzhu thought he was low-key and modest, only the growing beard betrayed his mood.

How did I fall in love with this silly fish in the first place?

The past with Master Umibo appeared in Ama's mind, and she showed a rather helpless smile.

Of course, that's another story.

The author has something to say:

ps: I won’t go into details about the story of Umibozu and Ama’s room here, I’ll add an extra chapter after the full text is finished ps2: The author who broke the update in the most unkind place in the previous chapter crawled away silently
