clown clown fish

Chapter 33

Shen Dong was not very at ease, he had nothing to do after returning to the island, so he simply went to the duty room and accompanied Uncle Chen on duty.

Both Cao Mu and Hong Jie mentioned the underwater cemetery, and it sounds like this cemetery has something to do with mermaids. Cao Mu couldn't remember the details, and Hong Jie refused to say more. What kind of place is this?

"Uncle Chen," Shen Dong looked at Uncle Chen who was earnestly picking up the game, "How long have you lived here?"

"For a lifetime," Uncle Chen smiled, and put down the mouse. "I was born here, and I will still be here in the future. I will definitely die here when I die."

"Then you know a lot of things, sea legends or something?" Shen Dong asked tentatively.

"Legends? There are a lot of legends, sea monsters, dead ships and so on," Uncle Chen smiled and drank his tea. "There are the most legends at sea, because every time you go to sea, unexpected things may happen. .”

"Sea monsters? Dead ships?" Shen Dong really hadn't heard of these things. He had only been on the island for so many years, and only when the big ships delivered food and daily necessities could he meet people other than Uncle Chen. Say hello, don't know how to chat, let alone talk about these.

"The two are related," Uncle Chen suddenly became interested, took the hookah next to him and lit it, took a puff, then exhaled another puff of smoke, watched Shen Dong choke for a long time before he said with a satisfied smile, "The people who went out to sea didn't come back. We will go out to look for them, but there have been several times, and all we found were empty boats. The boat was not damaged or sunk, but the people on board were all gone..."

"Isn't this a ghost ship?" Shen Dong couldn't help interjecting.

"We call it a dead ship. Some people have received a call for help..." Uncle Chen squinted his eyes and paused for a while, "It is said that the ship was entangled by something and was trapped in the sea. The people who went into the water to check did not come back. , When the rescuers arrived at the coordinates, there was no one on board, and there was nothing under the boat.”

"Where's the person?" Shen Dong felt a chill run down his spine when he heard that.

"The old fishermen said that they were dragged into the sea by sea monsters and eaten." Uncle Chen sucked on the hookah, with a mysterious expression on his face.

"Sea monster? Drag?" Shen Dong suddenly remembered Cao Mu's words, "Where did the drag go?"

"Undersea cemetery," Uncle Chen looked at him with a shocked face, laughed, and patted him on the shoulder, "Are you scared? It's just a legend. It's dangerous for fishermen to go out to sea. The sea is so unpredictable. I like to think in weird directions about everything."

The words "undersea cemetery" made Shen Dong nervous for a while, and there are also legends about this place!

"Where is the underwater cemetery?" Shen Dong asked carefully.

"The bottom of the sea." Uncle Chen stood up and stretched his arms. "Do you still take the legends seriously? Who knows if there is such a place."

Uncle Chen's knowledge of the underwater cemetery was only at the level of legends, and he didn't know the details, and he didn't believe there was such a place. Shen Dong asked with a serious face and was laughed at by him.

"Shen Dong, I used to think that you were introverted and didn't like to talk, but after you speak quickly, you still talk a lot." Uncle Chen handed him the hookah, "Have a sip?"

"No," Shen Dong hurriedly waved his hands, "I can't take it, it's too aggressive."

"That's enough." Uncle Chen squinted his eyes and took another puff, "Shen Dong, you can cook tonight, we are three now, it's too troublesome to cook separately, let's eat together."

"Okay, noodles?" Shen Dong nodded and asked.

"Let's take turns. You make noodles, and I cook rice while I cook. Xiao Zhang's cooking is pretty good." Uncle Chen arranged.

"Okay." Shen Dong replied, thinking in his heart that if he cooks for Cao Mu these few days, what will Cao Mu eat?What will Hong Jie take him to eat?Did the son of the sea eat seaweed all the time...

"Cao Xiaoyu," Hong Jie fell asleep in the cave with his arms pillowed on his head. When he woke up, Cao Mu was soaking in the sea water. He patted the water, "Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat."

"Hungry," Cao Mu thought for a while, "Go find something to eat and bring it back, I won't go out."

"How do I bring it? It's okay to go and eat together." Hong Jie sat up and looked at him.

"Then I won't eat," Cao Mu said firmly, "I won't go out with you."

"Why!" Hong Jie shouted, "Why are you so troublesome!"

"Because I don't know who you are, I don't want to go out."

"I would have killed you long ago!"

"Is it."

"I'll kill you here in less than ten seconds, do you believe it!" Hong Jie stood up annoyed.

"I won't go out even if I'm killed." Cao Mu was very calm and didn't even look at him.

"Hey! Cao Xiaoyu!" Hong Jie pointed at him without saying a word for a long time, and finally he jumped into the water, "What do you want to eat?"

"small bread."

Hong Jie bought two bags of buns at the small grocery store in the village, and then went home.

Qin Yu was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his face pale.

Hong Jie stared at him for a while, and couldn't help reaching out and poking under his nose.

"What?" Qin Yu said suddenly.

"Thought you were dead," Hong Jie smiled, "Are you eating?"

"I can't eat it."

"I didn't eat yesterday, so don't you eat today?"

"Not as good as you." Qin Yu still closed his eyes, "There's no news over there, and I'm not in the mood to eat."

"Let's be on the way." Hong Jie opened the bag and took a small bread and ate it slowly.

"I'm afraid there's something wrong. Yu Xiaojia is the only experimental product that can be regarded as a success. Liang Feng won't give up so easily." Qin Yu frowned, "He already knows what Qin Yi thinks, and now he knows everything. can do it."

"Why don't you say that Qin Yi is useless, and it took a long time to kill someone but he didn't kill him." Hong Jie smiled.

"Cruel-hearted captain, can you do it?" Qin Yu opened his eyes slightly.

"I don't know, I didn't kill him," Hong Jie wiped his mouth after eating the bread, "Why did Qin Yi bring Yu Xiaojia here?"

"The ice coffin, she can't hold on without the ice now."

"Then she came here to die."

"me too."

"I will bury you all well." Hong Jie grinned.

"Where is the burial? Undersea cemetery?" Qin Yu smiled with difficulty.

"Just throw it into the sea. I don't know where the underwater cemetery is, and I can't reach that deep."

"Didn't you just be picked up from the underwater cemetery, son of the sea?" Qin Yu said wearily. This is the most amazing statement he has ever heard about Hong Jie, but no one has ever confirmed it. Hong Jie Never admitted it either.

"I am the son of Dahai!" Hong Jie waved his hand, and put on his usual smile that seemed to be in a mental state.

When Hong Jie was eating the second bun, Qin Yu's cell phone rang. He quickly picked up the cell phone and glanced at it, then sat up suddenly: "Where have you been?"

Hong Jie continued to eat bread. Qin Yi over there didn't know what to answer. He saw Qin Yu's eyebrows furrowed: "How do you bring the things here... Well, it doesn't matter how long you can live... Liang Feng has Any news...I got it."

Qin Yu put down the phone and looked at Hong Jie: "Qin will arrive in two days, please pay attention to any movement, Liang Feng may arrive first."

"It's annoying," Hong Jie patted the bread crumbs on his hands, "I'm leaving, drink water if you're hungry."

"Ah."

Qin Yi wanted to come here with an ice coffin, no matter what method he used, it would not be an easy task, but the point now is not how he came here, but the disappearance of Liang Feng who was not killed by him.

It was much easier for Liang Feng to get here than Qin Yi who brought an ice coffin, even if he brought equipment, it was easier than bringing a coffin that had to keep the temperature at all times.

Hong Jie stood at the bow of the boat facing the sea breeze, staring at every inch of the sea in his field of vision. He basically spent time on the sea as long as he could remember. He is familiar with the color of the sea surface and the scene under each sea surface, and even the waves on each sea surface have different appearances in his eyes.

"Wind direction," Hong Jie said, then looked up at the wind vane on the mast, raised all the sails, and "advance at full speed."

The sea breeze was blowing fiercely, Hong Jie switched the blindfold to one side, and squinted the other eye to stare at the sea.

He didn't know what he was looking at, and he didn't know what Liang Feng would do if he really came. He could only stare at the sea that he was familiar with like his own body, not letting go of any trace.

Not only the sea, but also the sea.

Liang Feng was rich and had the most advanced equipment. Even Qin Yu had destroyed a lot of equipment before this, but with a crazy person like Liang Feng, it is very likely that he would keep it.

What will it be?Besides Yu Xiaojia, what else does he want?

Yu Xiaojia is already dead, and Cao Mu should also lose his value, so what else would he want?

Liang Feng needs another fish.

But he has no map, the map is just a legend, no one knows the authenticity of the map, and no one knows where the map is.

Well, he'll go to the sea cemetery.

According to legend, it has been a place where mermaids have been haunted since ancient times.

but……

"I don't even know where I am." Hong Jie took out a binoculars and looked around. "First officer, you have been following me. Do you know where I am?"

"Yeah," Hong Jie sighed, "it's just a legend."

"It's not a legend. The old fish spirit has been there, and so has Cao Xiaoyu." Hong Jie knelt down on the bow, lifted the blindfold and put it on his forehead, "but the old fish spirit died, and Cao Xiaoyu didn't remember... ...Remember and won't say it? Maybe, the old fish spirit has always hoped that Cao Xiaoyu has no contact with other mermaids and never participates in these things. Who knows what he will tell Cao Xiaoyu..."

When Hong Jie returned to the cave with the bun, Cao Mu was sleeping beside the cave wall.

"Cao Xiaoyu, the small bread you want." Hong Jie threw the bread in a waterproof bag at him.

"Thank you," Cao Mu took out a small bun from the bag and took a bite, "This is not the kind of bun that Shen Dong gave me last time."

"Don't care!" Hong Jie got angry and jumped out of the water, "I don't know what kind Shen Dong bought! You don't tell me!"

"I don't know either, I don't know the words on it." Cao Mu looked at him.

"Then you eat or not!"

"Eat, I just said the taste is different."

"Then eat it. This is the only kind of bun sold in the village." Hong Jie sat next to him, "Cao Xiaoyu, do you know who I am?"

"Captain." Cao Xiaoyu ate the bread without looking up.

"Ah!" Hong Jie burst into tears, "You actually remember me!"

"Well, I remembered after you just left, and I kept thinking about you, so I still remember it now." Cao Mu ate a small bun in two bites, and took out another one and put it in his mouth.

"Think about me? I'm so touched, how can I treat you well?"

"I was wondering why you kept following me."

"You're funny," Hong Jie smiled, "My goal is to make you remember who I am when you see me one day."

"You must be crazy." Cao Mu glanced at him.

"Well, did you find out?" Hong Jie patted the surface of the water, looking into Cao Mu's eyes, "Cao Xiaoyu, have you noticed that you have changed?"

"Changed? How has it changed?" Cao Mu lay down on the edge of the water and looked at his reflection in the water. The light in the cave was not very good, and the reflection was also vague.

"It's not that your appearance has changed," Hong Jie pushed him, staring at his face, "After I gave you an injection... you are a little different."

"I haven't scolded you for stabbing me indiscriminately." Cao Mu twisted his neck.

"Cao Xiaoyu, darling Cao," Hong Jie put his face in front of him, "Is your memory really still so disappointing?"

"Huh?" Cao Mu looked at him blankly.

"Your memory is still the same as before? Why do you forget when you turn around?" Hong Jie asked.

"I remember about Shen Dong." Cao Mu replied.

"You almost forgot him too, and you almost couldn't remember him."

"Not in the future." Cao Mu looked at him with certainty.

"Old Yu Jing said that he would stick it wherever he said. In fact, I don't know what the effect of the needle is. Your grandpa is stealing it." Hong Jie smiled. Is what Mu is telling the truth? Cao Mu is strictly speaking not a human being. His way of thinking is still different from that of a real human being, so Hong Jie couldn’t tell what he was thinking. fish."

Cao Mu ignored him, bowed his head and continued to eat the small bread, and ate up all the bread in a short while.

"When will my sister arrive?" Cao Mu asked.

This was the first time Cao Mu asked about Yu Xiaojia after hearing about it.

"Maybe the day after tomorrow. I don't know whether she will be dead or alive when she arrives. Now she can only survive by cooling down with a lot of ice." Hong Jie answered truthfully.

"Just come back," Cao Mu lowered his eyes to look at the water, "This is her home."

"Well," Hong Jie lay down, looking at the small crevices and small holes on the top of the cave, "Cao Xiaoyu, what are your plans after this is over?"

"Plan?" Cao Mu was stunned for a while, and then said after a while, "It's fine as before."

"I hope." Hong Jie closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

"Actually, as long as you can be with Shen Dong, it doesn't matter if it's different." Cao Mu added after thinking about it.

"Love." Hong Jie smiled.

"Captain, do you have someone you like?" Cao Mu soaked his legs in the sea water.

"Yes, I have."

"Who?"

"The sea!"

"Aren't you the son of the sea?"

"...That's right," Hong Jie opened his eyes and thought for a while, "Then it's gone... Oh, I'm so lonely..."

Shen Dong honestly stayed in the duty room and his dormitory for two days. He never went to find Cao Mu, Cao Mu never came to him, and Hong Jie had no news.

Everything was peaceful, like nothing happened.

Shen Dong sat in the duty room and stared at the computer in a daze. This kind of life was just like the previous few years, peaceful and monotonous, but there were so many things happening in places he couldn't see and he didn't know.

If he hadn't met the clownfish basking in the sun, his life might not have changed in any way, and what happened would not have anything to do with him.

He would never know that there are real mermaids living in the sea beside him, and there have been various connections between them and humans for many years...

"You don't know if you don't look at it," Shen Dong stretched, "The world is so wonderful."

But the current calm is different from the previous calm. Under this calm, there is something turbulent. Shen Dong feels like he is looking at the night sky with a telescope, and he can only see a small part forever.

When Shen Dong's thoughts were traveling all over the world and galloping wildly, there was a rustling sound from the radio, and then he heard a familiar voice.

"Call Pingshan Island Lighthouse! Please call Pingshan Island Lighthouse!"

"Received by Pingshan Island Lighthouse," Shen Dong took the microphone, "Captain?"

"Yes, I am the great Captain Jack!" Hong Jie's voice sounded quite happy.

"what's up?"

"Are you on duty today? Will you be on duty until tomorrow morning?"

"Yes."

"Then you have diarrhea at night and let the newcomer be on duty for you."

Shen Dong paused: "Why?"

"When Qin arrives at night, he will bring Yu Xiaojia to the island to the east of you," Hong Jie reported the coordinates of the island, "Of course if you don't go with Cao Xiaoyu..."

"What time?" Shen Dong stood up and looked at the map of the Pingshan Islands on the wall, and found the island according to the coordinates, but it was not close.

"I don't know, come over at 11 o'clock."

"it is good."

"Shen Dong, these things are over soon, you promise me that you will keep it secret," Hong Jie's voice suddenly became serious, "or I will kill you."

"understood."
