good night my mermaid princess

To the east, the bedroom in the other corner of the palace.

Grandma Anxi was tossing and turning on the bed. She was very uneasy that night. Although her son assured herself with confidence, she was still a little worried.

She will never mistake that pearl—the pearl of doom... because she has seen it once, and that time she did not believe in the prophecy, and then she lost her daughter, and this time, this time it appeared for the sake of What?

After repeated thinking, she couldn't get an answer, so the grandmother who couldn't sleep simply put on a dress and got up.She walked to the white coral window and looked out the window worriedly. The ocean outside was dark, just like her mood.

Although he has been wary of this matter since then, and secretly prepared to fight against it, but it still makes him uneasy when it really appears.

"bang bang bang"

There was a knock at the door to my grandmother's room. It was a door made of red sea trees, so hard that it could be knocked loudly.

"What's up so late?" Grandma asked.

"Grandma Anxi, Doctor Simon please see me."

"Let him come back tomorrow, I'm already asleep..." Grandma Anxi refused.

"Grandma Anxi, it's an important matter, that human's matter." Simon shouted in his old voice outside the door.

Hearing the word human, the grandmother hurriedly opened the door, and the old man Simon rushed in:

"Let me tell you, Su is gone."

"It's gone?!" Grandma was also surprised.

Old Simon touched his piercing chin: "I guess you frightened her when you went, and she didn't dare to stay."

Grandma Anxi glared at old man Simon: "You lost him."

Old man Simon waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, let your son know, he didn't take this opportunity to kill me!"

Grandma Anxi poked her head out, and it was pitch black outside, which was still lit just now.

"Why is it dark?"

"Report, the lights in the corridor suddenly went out just now..." A reply came from the darkness, and the Sturgeon guard outside the door was grinding the special phosphorite in his hand.

In a few seconds, a small flame lit up in the darkness.

The grandmother delivered an order to the Sturgeon guard holding the torch: "Please find a few trustworthy companions, and then go together to search for the human who came here a few days ago, and when you find it, bring it to that place quietly and send someone to notify me. Remember not to alarm Sea King and Duke Boya."

The Sturgeon guard nodded heavily, swam to the other end of the corridor, patted the three sardine guards who had just come over from night patrol and also had a backup fire source, and left together.

Grandma Anxi closed the door gently, looking very worried.

"Should we really listen to Boya...kill her?..."

"Actually, she's quite pitiful." Old man Simon rubbed his hands, pointed to a plate of round cakes on the counter and said, "I want to eat the cookies you made."

Grandma Anxi gave him a blank look: "What's for dinner, I'll make it for you tomorrow, and finish talking now."

Simon heheed twice, and continued:

"When I first delivered it, I checked the little girl. Not to mention her poor health, the scars on her back were a bit scary. There are a few welt marks that are particularly scary. Judging from the healing state of the skin and flesh, she must have been pulled to pieces. There is a fine mark at the corner of the eye. Judging by the degree of condensation, it is only a few days old. It looks like being hit by the tail of a whip. Do you know how terrible it is? It was only a little bit short of hurting the eye. That night she Talking in sleep, I can get it right away, calling grandpa, calling mom and dad, holding on to that pearl you are afraid of all the time and not letting go. I found that there is still wax left in her ear, how could this kind of thing be in her ear I don’t know what inhuman torture she suffered before. I felt that she was in an unstable state of mind. I didn’t want to stimulate her, so I lied to her that she was overworked and unconscious. When I found her, she had severe hypoxia symptoms. She was rescued, but found that her hypoxia level was slowing down, and then slowly disappeared. I dare not speculate, but I can be sure that if it wasn't for God's blessing on her and this incredible miracle of breathing, she might have... ..."

After hearing this, Grandma Anxi sighed: "Last month, I heard from the occupant that her family members have been brutally murdered recently, and there will always be human children who will open their mouths and snatch away the pearls they have been conceived for a long time. Pearls, which are very common to us, are very valuable to humans. According to a hairtail fish that narrowly escaped from the boat, those children stayed in a small room, as if they were called 'slaves' to collect pearls things, and was often beaten by the captain.”

"What a crime..."

Old man Simon scoffed at this. In his opinion, shouldn't such a young child be cherished by their parents like their princess?

"Su also said that she used to pick pearls. Looking at it this way, it is very likely that she is the slave you mentioned... and I asked her about the location of her home. She said that her home is in Mozambique, but we don't have such a slave here. The name of the town, she said she missed her grandpa in the family... no mention of parents..."

Grandma Anxi walked over and patted him comfortingly: "Simon, don't be like this, these misfortunes have already happened, and you can't do anything about her past."

Simon suddenly grabbed Anxi's grandmother's hand, and said in a low voice: "But, it's okay now, I know this will embarrass you, but I wonder if I can wait for the fisherman who has traveled around the world to come back and ask her. She is a Poor child, let's keep her for now, shall we?"

Grandma Anxi shook her head: "Do you know what a terrible request it is? What happened 20 years ago, I don't want to go through it again...I don't want to kill her, and I don't want to keep her."

"Anxi, how long are you going to be entangled in this matter? If there is such a thing as fate, it's Feisli's choice."

"Don't mention Fesli! Why do you always mention her when I'm about to forget! This disobedient daughter, don't mention her name to me again."

This name is An Xi's nightmare for the rest of his life. This name is hidden in the tacit understanding of the old mermaids in the palace who consciously avoid it. It is a taboo, a punishment, and a curse.Exactly as the witch predicted at the time, the outsider will bring you back riches, and at the same time he will also get the corresponding "reward".He will seduce your princess only to abandon her in the end.He will find the most dazzling pearl in the bottom of the sea, and give it to your princess, oh, I saw it, what a dazzling light, what a sad result!

"Anxi, you never forgot, that's why you're afraid of being mentioned about her. What's wrong with Fesli—"

"Snapped!"

Grandma Anxi slapped old man Simon.

"Anxi!" The old man Simon shouted again, and grabbed the hand of Anxi's grandmother who called again.

He looked at her: "The hateful person is not a prophet, not a so-called pearl of bad luck, but love, a love that is willful and wishful thinking! Isn't there a human and a mermaid who suffered because of this on land and under the sea?"

Speaking of this, Simon suddenly laughed silently: "Think about me too, but I never complained. An Xi, believe it or not, I never really blamed you."

Grandma Anxi's eye sockets turned red unknowingly, she closed her spread fingers little by little, and said coldly:

"Doctor Simon, please pay attention to your title, my family has nothing to do with you."

"Your family," Simon said with a wry smile, "I lost my temper."

He let go of her hand, silently picked up the shawl and clothes she had dropped due to struggling, and put it on for her.

He sighed and left without another word.

West corridor of the palace.

Su only looked back, and then ran away like a fly, but running past was also a dead end, let alone something happened that she didn't want to meet. When she rounded the corner, she suddenly found the four fish guards on the other side swimming towards this side .

She immediately retracted herself to a relatively safe place and fell back again.

The mermaid girl who was holding the statue just now was still there. She tried very hard to pick up the statue, but it seemed that because she had used a lot of strength before, she always failed.

Su went straight over, motioned her to stand a little farther away, snorted, and hugged the statue.

"As compensation for breaking the statue before, I will help you carry the statue to the place you want to put it."

"kindness?"

The mermaid girl is very confused about what happened, isn't it the person who just flew away and seemed to escape?

"This side or that side?" Su pointed to the other two intersections and asked the mermaid girl.

The mermaid girl looked at her in confusion.

"I swear, I have absolutely no malice."

The mermaid girl remained silent.

Su had no choice but to use his trump card: "If you don't lead the way, I will smash your statue and break it into several pieces."

The mermaid girl showed frightened eyes, as if she was about to exclaim.

Su hurriedly begged in a low voice.

"Something happened, please."

After saying this, there was a whole second of silence in front of him, and this second made Su feel as long as 1 years.

She finally spoke:

"...this way."

Su followed closely behind her.

The path she chose was very long, and Su didn't know where it would lead, but she could only go on like this.

She looked at the mermaid girl in front of her, praying for good luck in her heart.

In fact, Su's luck was indeed good.

The mermaid girl led the way obediently and did not betray her.The road also seemed to be deliberately chosen, it was very quiet and there were no guards.

At the same time, she is still a very beautiful girl, you can tell from the back.

Graceful and charming figure, shawl hair like waves, with beautiful curls, and the ends of the hair will be slightly flicked as you walk.

Su paid attention to her tail. Half a dozen oysters should be the very distinguished mermaid here. She remembered that Simon said in the chat that oysters are a symbol of nobility here, and only the royal family can wear them.Her oysters are less than Neptune and grandmother, push down, it is likely to be a mermaid like a princess...

Thinking of this, Su lowered his head and glanced at the statue in his arms.

So, rich and powerful mermaids have different hobbies?

She was very surprised that mermaids would like human statues. This white marble statue carved out a good-looking man, who seemed to be a very handsome prince, but due to her impact and kick, a corner of the prince's hair had been knocked off. It looks kind of funny.

"kindness?"

This sizing up of Su happened to be seen by the mermaid girl looking back again.

Su hurriedly raised his head, pretending to smile without anything, trying to smile as brightly as possible.

In fact, the mermaid girl would turn her head back from time to time along the way, as if she was worried that Su would be exhausted, or more like she was afraid that she would drop the statue again...

Just like the threat I said to myself before, although it is unintentional here.

Maybe she was really uneasy, after another journey, she turned around and reached out to Su to take it.

"Give it to me..."

"It's okay, let's go."

Su walked around her outstretched hands, preventing her from touching the sculpture.Although the young girl led her to the familiar avenue, she still had no idea where to go, so it was better to accompany the delicate young girl and send her to the end.

The mermaid girl snatched up silently, but she couldn't grab Su. She showed a puzzled and embarrassed expression about this, as if she was extremely puzzled by Su's desperate efforts.

Su showed her a terrifying smile of "Don't rob again, otherwise I won't guarantee the consequences", and raised his chin to urge her to lead the way.

The mermaid girl looked at Su several more times. Faced with Su's over-resoluteness, she really had nothing to do, so she could only walk to the front silently and resume leading the way.

The wordless walk continued, and for the rest of the journey, the mermaid girl was very quiet, except for pointing out the direction, she had little to say.As for Su, because she was too worried about her life, she was not in the mood to talk to the mermaid girl. She silently followed behind the girl, thinking more about what to do next.

The two of them went around and around like this, and walked out of the palace.Su didn't know how far she had traveled. When she was about to run out of strength, when the girl led her to a locked door, the heavy texture and carved hollow style caught Su's attention.

It should be a very magnificent and gorgeous place, which can be felt from the gate.Through the carved gap on the door, through the searchlight buried in the garden, through Guangsu, I can see that there are many colorful flowers and grass inside, and there are several flower beds. It should be a very large garden.

The mermaid girl inserted the key into the keyhole and pushed open the door. The door creaked, giving it a very old-fashioned and expensive feel.

The moment he entered, Su thought she was dreaming.

Because the garden is too beautiful to be true.

The first sight is the many fiery red and deep blue trees, the fruit on these trees shines like gold, the flowers bloom like burning fire, and the branches and leaves are constantly shaking, like a vivid and colorful oil painting.The garden floor was full of the finest sand, but blue as the flames of brimstone.There, everywhere shone with a strange blue brilliance.If it is daytime, it is easy to think that you are high in the sky instead of under the sea, and feel that there is a blue sky above your head and below your feet.

Su once thought that the seabed was a place without many plants, but this garden tonight made her feel that she underestimated the sea.

She couldn't help being amazed, but she noticed a strangely shaped flower bed, which was larger than the others and its shape was easy to recognize...the shape of a whale spouting water...it's really creative...

1,2, 5,6... [-], [-], Su counted the number of flower beds here, there are six in total.Su took a closer look, and there were extraordinary decorations on the edges of several flower beds, which were extraordinarily gorgeous.

"This is my sisters and I's garden, my flower bed is here." The mermaid girl signaled Su to go left.

Garden with sisters?In his mind, Su pieced together the answer to the identity of the mermaid girl with certainty...

Turn left and there are two flower beds, one in the shape of a mermaid and the other in a circle.

"This one?" Su asked the mermaid girl with his chin, pointing to the mermaid flower bed embedded with many colorful gemstones.

"No, the other one." The mermaid girl pointed to the circular flower bed that was simply piled up with cement and painted purple, without any decoration.

It turned out to be the most ordinary round shape, Su Ting was surprised, it seemed to be a bland guy, she thought so.

I took another look at the flowers planted in the flower bed of the mermaid girl. They were all red, and they were rose-like flowers...Compared with other flower beds, they were of a completely different gorgeous style. There were all kinds of colors, and she was the only one The mermaid is so fixated on one color and one type of monotony...

"Put the statue here, please."

She pointed to a weeping willow that was as red as a rose beside the flower bed, and motioned Su to put it under it.

Red, red, red again, her love for red is too crazy!Su shook his head, and put down the statue.

If it weren't for the scariness of blood, the statue would probably be painted red.

But after thinking about it, she had taken too much control, it was none of her business, and she should stop there. In fact, she didn't plan to investigate the reason for this paranoia.

When he straightened up, Su happened to see a small weed in the round flower bed, and he reached out to pull it out. The new growth didn't have a solid root, so it wasn't too difficult to pull out.

Holding the weed, I suddenly felt a vision.

"?" Su turned to look at her.

The mermaid girl was startled by Su's sudden turning around, and flinched.

Su shook the weeds in his hand towards her: "I won't throw them around. But where should I throw them?"

The mermaid girl pointed at the bottom of the flower bed, there was a basket there, then she blinked, and her gaze returned to Su.

Her gaze silenced Su.Su couldn't understand why someone would stare at him in such a way. Without curiosity, it wasn't inquiry, but a kind of confirmation, as if he was seriously thinking about her existence.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Su asked the girl.

Unsuitable emotions scratched her heart with rough edges, like weeds stuck in her hands, she had to pat them off and couldn't ignore them.

The mermaid girl didn't answer, but her azure eyes moved a little.

"I ask why you look at me like this!" Su suddenly became very disturbed.

"A real human..."

The soft murmur that wasn't an answer, the mermaid girl's eyes were suddenly filled with tenderness, and her heart felt soft when she saw it.

Su was startled.

"It's the first time I see you..."

Like falling into his own world, muttering to himself.

"I said..." Su looked at her with a strange expression.

"It's the same as I imagined, but it seems different...but..."

It's like walking out of a self-made world and paying attention to certain things.

"But what?" Su had no choice but to follow her rhythm.

Her eyes suddenly filled with seriousness, completely out of her world:

"However, I am very happy. It is really very happy to see you."

The innocent smile that suddenly bloomed was as bright as the moon, and everything seemed to wake up for a while,

She added softly, "Thank you, statue, and weeding."

Su suddenly felt dazed.

I don't know if it's because the moonlight in the sea is too clear or because her smile is too touching.The faint starlight fell on the fine sand on the seabed, and there were two thin shadows on the sand.

"It's nothing, princess." Su took a step away.

It feels strange to be thanked so solemnly by her.You must know that you were still threatening her before, and you were still forcing her...

But the young girl didn't think so, coercion and threats couldn't make Su come here. In fact, this human being was more kind and enthusiastic than what she showed.

So, she followed closely and stepped forward:

"Where are you from? What's your name?"

There is no way to avoid it.

The deep black pupils met the blue pupils, the same clear and transparent eyes.

In fact, her pure smile made Su feel guilty.

"The statue has been placed, goodbye."

"Wait" the mermaid girl's voice came from behind her, "At least the name..."

Su paused in his steps, then turned around.

"Hurry up!"

The fish guards rushed in with a solemn expression, and threw her to the ground without waiting for Su's exit. It turned out that the fish guards had been following them secretly, hiding behind them quietly.

"The person has been found, everyone, move faster and tie up tighter."

Because it was something my grandmother told me, the guards didn't dare to be careless at all.After tightly binding Su, they didn't dare to delay for even a moment, and they were about to escort her away with solemn expressions.

"please wait a while."

When the guards were about to leave, the mermaid girl stopped them.

"I should have the right to know what is happening now."

The guards were reluctant to say more: "Princess Ariel, I'm sorry. This is a request from Anxi's grandmother."

"Please tell me now, and you should know that this is something I will know sooner or later."

The girl showed a completely different temperament from before. Although she was still very polite, her face revealed the innate majesty of the royal family, and her serious tone faintly carried a feeling that cannot be refuted.

The lead Sturgeon guard bowed to her, expressing deep apologies:

"I'm sorry little princess, we don't know the specific situation. But if we know, we will know everything."

The lead Sturgeon guard stayed behind, while the other guards escorted Su to continue walking.

Su turned his head while being pushed away.When she was about to be pushed out of the garden gate, she suddenly yelled.

"Su, my name is Su!"

The guards quickly covered her mouth.

The author has something to say:

The Little Mermaid does not have a name in Andersen's original book, and the name Ariel was taken from Disney's adaptation of the mermaid animation.The others are taken by themselves.
