[The shark] Seven years later

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

On the second day, Grandma took Ah Yan to the clan witch.

There was a polished flat stone in the clan witch's house. When the two mothers and sons arrived, he happened to spread out a handful of dyed tortoise shell fragments in front of him, stroking it with his old hands one by one, muttering What are you thinking about.

At least Ah Yan thinks it's a babble.

The clan witch is already very old, he was so old when Ah Yan saw him when he was a child, and he is still exactly the same old now, even the number of wrinkles on his face has not increased or decreased, his old face is like a unique one among the beauties The landscape is just as striking.

Ah Yan often thinks disrespectfully, such a person should have finished his mature period long ago and went to see Sea God.

——He has always hated gloomy things, such as clan witches.

Ah Yan and Ah Ma got on the stone slab, curled the tail of the fish, and sat in front of the clan witch to wait.

The voice of the clan witch was like sea sand leaking from his hands. Ah Yan was a little annoyed, but he could only suppress his irritability and wait patiently.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the clan witch finally stopped his movements, retracted the tortoise shell, raised his old and heavy eyelids, and looked at Ah Yan: "It's a disaster, not a blessing, can we move on?"

Ah Yan's heart skipped a beat, a little annoyed: "Since it's already destined, why ask me?"

The clan witch shook his head, put the tortoise shell in a silk bag and hung it back to his waist, swung the fish tail into the water, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come with me."

Ah Yan didn't move, and Ah Ma pushed him anxiously, so he reluctantly followed.

The clan witch's house is larger than the average merman's, and even has a second floor, which is the tallest building in the merman settlement in the sea.

Ah Yan transformed into a human form in front of the second floor, stepped on the stairs with a naked | body, and the tribe witch in silk robes walked slowly in front.

After going up, Ah Yan smelled an unpleasant smell at the tip of his nose. He glanced around and saw that there were only simple daily utensils in the room. Weird, steaming liquid.

The clan witch asked Ah Yan to lie on the couch, picked up the stone bowl, dipped a bit of it with a piece of wood, and painted it on the sea totem on Ah Yan's back waist.

The sea totem is the identity certificate of the sea people. The main pattern is the god of the sea that the sea people fear. All the sea people are exactly the same. Only the patterns around the sea are unique to each person. They are called family patterns, unless you want to leave the family completely. For example, if you marry into another clan and become a member of another clan, this pattern will be removed from your body.

The unique family pattern can let you see the origin of the owner of the family pattern. It reveals the branch of the owner, and more or less indicates the fate of the owner. For example, Yan's family pattern is flame. When this pattern came out, all the sharks who knew it were shocked.

Some insiders believe that this probably indicates the fate of Ah Yan, a weak mermaid, who will be burned to death.

If someone wants to leave the clan and travel to other clans, he needs a passport with his clan crest engraved on it, and if he is a traitor, his clan crest will be removed from the genealogy by his clan, and from then on, only the sea clan can Smell the smell, wanted by all sea people.

The Merman Clan is a branch of the Sea Clan, so there will naturally be such a tradition, and what Ah Yan needs is to get rid of the sea totem on his body, which belongs to his unique clan pattern, so that he will not have his own branch clan and become a Sea Clan homeless.

The process was easier than Ah Yan imagined.

He thought that there would be a situation where the pain would turn black before his eyes, but he didn't expect it to be painless. Bored, he could only stare out the window in a daze. Occasionally, seabirds would pass by, but most of them were the gray and unchanging sky.

The weird liquid in the stone bowl soaked into Ah Yan's skin, and the sea totem on his body gradually lost the surrounding of fireworks, leaving only the lonely sea god pattern.

When Ah Yan was about to fall asleep, he finally heard other movements from the clan witch who had been messing around behind him.

"Get up." The clan witch said as he walked to the side.

Ah Yan stood up, rubbed Mimi's staring eyes, and saw the clan witch escape a roll of fish skin book from the bookshelf, and drew a circle on it with the remaining liquid in the bowl.

He saw the pattern that was probably his own sharp-eyed, smiled slightly, but wanted to cry, turned around and walked downstairs quickly.

The female merman who had been waiting for a long time saw her child finally come back, her eyes were slightly bent, but with tears of relief, she smiled and said, "Let's go."

Ah Yan nodded, inexplicably feeling a lot lighter in her body, but when she saw her grandmother, she felt extremely heavy.

The merman race has the pedigree of merman sharks who are decisive in killing and killing. They have always acted crisply and neatly, and things that have been negotiated are often carried out immediately.

On the second day, Ah Yan heard joyful music being played in the clan field, which was different from the usual joy, which symbolized that some clansmen were about to marry into foreign clans.

He listened for a while, then ignored it.

That night, Ah Yan's mother spat out a shocking amount of blood.

The vomiting of blood couldn't be stopped, Ah Yan stretched out her hand to wipe it in a panic, but it just dripped all over her hand.

He immediately went to the family doctor on the back of his mother, but he couldn't prevent his mother's light blue blood from infecting the entire sea surface.

On the seventh day after the happy event, Ah Yan’s grandmother, Ah Zhi, was transported to Haizhu after her funeral. Like all sharks, under the spell of the clan witch, her bones gradually merged into Haizhu and became a part of Haizhu. .

Ah Yan, who was already a homeless person, could have left the clan at any time, but he was reluctant to part with his mother and wanted to stay for a day or two longer, but he never expected to encounter such a heartbreaking thing.

The merman's lament sang for a day, resounding all over the southernmost tip of Zhifu Sea, in honor of their departed clansmen.

But their sadness was only a moment of sympathy. Only Ah Yan knelt down in front of the sea pillar for three days without eating or drinking, and when she got up silently, she saw Ah Cuo's gloating eyes.

Ah Yan lowered her eyes and returned home weakly.

After a while, Akan's family, who had long wanted to come to take away the dowry, knocked on the door and explained their intentions in apologetic embarrassment.

Ah Yan didn't care much, just opened the door and asked them to carry it away, while he was nestled in the room in a daze, but suddenly there was an exclamation from outside, he hesitated for a moment, and walked out of the room.

"What's wrong?" Ash asked.

The person who screamed was Akan's mother, also a female.

She pointed tremblingly at the residue that Ah Yan had dumped in the corner of the yard, her face filled with horror: "Why do you have such a thing?"

Ah Yan was stunned, and said: "This is the medicine my grandmother took before she was alive."

The female in front of her trembled, and screamed: "A wolf-hearted thing! How dare you give your mother this kind of poison!" She seemed to be out of breath, grabbed something from the box at hand, and threw it at Yan.

Ah Yan didn't dodge or dodge, he stood there blankly, and was immediately smashed to the ground.

"What kind of medicine is that?" Ah Yan's voice trembled.

But the female didn't answer him, and chatted with the people around her, vaguely hearing some words like "vicious, wolf-hearted".

Some even said humanely: "If it wasn't for him, Ah Lin and Ah Cuo would have conceived a child by now. He didn't do this kind of thing once or twice..."

Ah Yan's headache was about to split, and some images he had never seen before suddenly flashed in his mind.

Cowardly hiding in the corner, he looked at A Lin and A Cuo who stood side by side like Bi people.

Being bullied by A Cuo secretly | Abused but unable to resist.

A Cuo, who lost her child, questioned her in tears in public.

He was dragged to the head of the clan by the tribe to be whipped and tortured.

Being protected in the arms of his mother with tears in his eyes, and bearing the punishment he should have suffered, he lost his healthy body because of it.

And he, oppressed by the layers of sorrow and anger, became obsessed and obsessed, didn't know anything, didn't care about anything, and was always peeping at A Lin in the corner.

Ah ah ah ah ah--! ! !

Ah Yan let out a silent scream, and in an instant, all the sharks in the yard seemed to be hit by something, with severe pain in their brains, white foam gushing from their mouths, and they fell to the ground in panic.

Ah Yan walked up to A Kan's mother expressionlessly, knelt down, and asked, "What kind of medicine is it?"

The female merman trembled uncontrollably, unable to utter a sound for a long time, Ah Yan was a little impatient, and pressed her sharp nails against the merman's throat.

"It's...it's the medicine that makes the merman weaker." The female merman finally replied, and she howled suddenly, "Why do you ask me?! Isn't it because you gave him this drug? And the one who lost the child?!!!"

In Ah Yan's heart, a string snapped.

He had a hideous expression, and the muscles on his face were twisted like a ghost.

That night, a unique arrest warrant was issued by the Merman tribe. The wanted person was a homeless man without a family pattern. He poisoned his own mother and seriously injured the Merman tribe for no reason. According to the leather book, the messenger spread it to all branches of the Sea Clan overnight.

When the arrest warrant was issued, Ah Lin, who was processing the prey at home, heard the familiar sound of the conch horn.

The voice was blown intermittently by the sea breeze, like someone whimpering in the wind, but it made the always decisive Ah Lin hesitate.

In the end, as he did seven years ago, after hearing this voice, he came to wait by the reef that he had made an appointment with Yan.

Just like the boy who was waiting for the arrival of his beloved seven years ago.

At the same time, A Cuo, who was dealing with crocodile at the home shared with A Lin, rubbed his brows, feeling a little tired.

Since the evening, when the members of Akan's family came back in a state of distress, he has been restless.Ah Lin went out, but didn't tell him where he was going, which made him even more uneasy.

He picked up Akan's letter brought back by the sender and read it carefully again. He felt a little better when he saw that Akan was doing well.

A Cuo stood up, but was suddenly hit by strange and familiar sound waves into his brain. The severe pain was like a sharp knife churning in his brain, and blood gushed out from the seven orifices, faster than last time.

"Hum..." Ah Cu uttered a vague cry for help, but his mouth was clogged with blood.

A cold and slender hand climbed onto Ah Cuo's neck, strangling him tightly.

A Cuo heard the familiar mermaid ballad, singing the beautiful love of young people, singing softly in his ears.

Ah Cuo remembered many years ago, on a starry night, he saw the pair of young mermaids smiling and looking at each other behind the reef.

It would be nice if one of them was him.

He thought so at the time.

Later also did.

Ah Cu's tears welled up, and he twitched. His always cruel and cruel heart seemed to be filled with tears of regret, but he never seemed to regret it.

His cry for help was submerged in the sea water by the gushing blood, and the tears falling from his eyes turned into pearls, reflecting crystal light in the shadow of death.

The author has something to say:

The mermaid race is finished.

Probably the worst part of the whole story.

Feeling a little heavy.

Has anyone been abused?
