Chapter 40: Little sunflower mother class 10

     

    On the sand and mud, there are layers of footprints. A small wave hit and wiped away some of the traces, but it still couldn't hide the fact that those murlocs had indeed climbed up from the sea.

    The sound of the small snail number "woo woo" was still in the ears, but it was a lot quieter. No wonder they didn't hear it in the room last night.

    It seems that when the small snail horn sounds, the murloc will climb up, and after the murloc climbs up, the sound will become smaller, but it will not disappear.

    Do the murlocs move according to the size and frequency of the small snail horn?

    Lin Mutao folded her hair that was ruffled by the wind, looked at the boundless sea, and said, "There are no clues here."

    According to their initial guess, the small snail should be submerged in the water, and when it blows at night, it will float to the surface. But now the sea is calm and there is nothing.

    Shijiu listened carefully, and found that he couldn't tell where the sound of the small snail was at all, it was like a stereo sound, surrounding the entire fishing village. Although it will be more clearly heard at the seaside, the source of the sound is not like the seaside.

    Shijiu picked up a dead branch on the beach and drew something on the beach. Lin Mutao leaned over and found that there were slashes one after another, and she asked, "What are you drawing?"

    Shijiu: "There are hundreds of murlocs we saw just now, but there are more than 20 families in the fishing village. How could so many people die? So I guess it is not just the fishing village that fell into the water. people."

    "Assuming that those who died in the fishing villages were shipwrecked and walked back to their homes, where would those who were not fishing villages go?"

    Lin Mutao understood that Shijiu was drawing the road map of those water monsters. She doesn't have as good a memory as Shijiu, and can remember the direction of the water monster's movement in such a short time, so she put her hands on her knees and watched Shijiu paddling on the beach.

    "The water monster you just fought was obviously walking in the direction of our house, so he should be Aunt Lin's husband."

    Shijiu drew another diagonal line, and the end of the diagonal line was next to their house, "The water monster next to him should be heading towards this house. When I went out last night, I found this house's There is also a small puddle at the door."

    Shijiu recalled the direction of the water monsters in his mind, compared them one by one with the houses with water marks he saw last night, and found that there are many water monsters at the end of the walk The direction cannot be determined.

    The route of their walking direction can be extended, but finally converge at a point - the back of the village.

    Shijiu and Lin Mutao shouted in unison, "Li Dafu's house!"

    A wave hit, and happened to wipe off the road map Shijiu drew on the beach, but it didn't matter. The two of them were about to leave for Li Dafu's house, but they heard the thin "woo woo" in their ears getting louder again, and it was the small snail horn sounding again!

    Shijiu and Lin Mutao couldn't feel the power of the small snail in the house before, but now they found it was deafening at the seaside, and drilled into the skull. Shijiu covered his ears, knelt on the ground, and the magic sound pierced his ears.

    Lin Mutao struggled to take out a pair of earplugs from her backpack and threw them in front of Shijiu, "Use this to slow down..."

    Shijiu put the two **** of sponge earplugs into his ears, and then he felt better. He didn't ask Lin Mutao why he even has earplugs. Anyway, other people's props backpacks are packed with various useful things, while Lin Mutao's props backpacks are like Doraemon's treasure bags filled with all kinds of strange things. Useless stuff.

    Shijiu listened to the weakened sound of the snail horn, and said, "How strange? The little snail is not by the sea, but why is the sound so loud when it is at the sea? Where is the little snail that made the sound? where?"

    Lin Mutao held her chin and thought: "It's not in the sea, but because the sea has such a big influence? This may mean that the location of the Xiaoluo is related to the sea?" Is there anything to do with the sea?

    While Lin Mutao was still thinking, she was pulled by Shi Jiu by her side, "Look, they're here!"

    Lin Mutao looked up and found that the water monsters were walking towards the sea step by step. Under the moonlight, the blurred movements were like groups of zombies, a piece of darkness.

    From the first contact, it is known that the murloc's movements are slow, but if they meet people, their movements will quickly become faster and become extremely aggressive. I just escaped from the fish crowd, but I can't let these fish people find them again.

    Shijiu anxiously turned her head to look left and right, and found a few coconut trees near the beach, not high, but quite dense, which could hide their figures. He pulled the corner of La Lin Mutao's clothes, "This way".

    He wanted to support Lin Mutao to climb up first, but saw that Lin Mutao was already hugging the tree trunk tightly, climbing up with his hands and feet, and was looking down at him curiously, as if wondering about him Why haven't you climbed up yet.

    "So fast!" Shi Jiu muttered, suddenly stood up and jumped up, hugged the trunk tightly, and climbed up.

    Two people hugged the tree trunk hard, without speaking, watching the water monsters come step by step. Fortunately, none of the water monsters found them, but walked firmly into the sea, and the waves hit their legs and bodies. Those water monsters had blue-green webs growing between their fingers, and then they slammed into the water, and the waves completely covered their figures.

    The sound of the small snail was completely stopped, and only the sound of the waves crashing on the shore remained. The cool sea breeze blew past, blowing away the thin sweat on Shijiu and Lin Mutao who were lying on the tree.

    Shijiu just wanted to open his mouth to remind Lin Mutao that he could go down, when he saw that Lin Mutao had slid down the tree trunk smoothly and was standing on the ground.

     Shi Jiu hurriedly swallowed the phrase "be careful" and climbed down the tree.

    Lin Mutao laughed, "I'm sorry, there used to be a peach tree in front of my house, I'm used to climbing trees, it's time to wait for you."

    Shi Jiu laughed dryly and said, "It's okay, let's go to Li Dafu's house to have a look."

    When they arrived at Li Dafu's house, they discovered how destructive the murlocs were.

    The small home was smashed to pieces, even the wooden door was crumbling, and only half of it remained. The red cloth strips used for isolation were all pulled to the ground, wet like sticky water snakes. One after another big pits were smashed on the wooden furniture. No wonder they had seen traces of repairs on the furniture before, and their feelings were all smashed by these murlocs.

    They walked into Li Dafu's room and found that it was also a mess, carrying the anger of the fish people. And the huge iron cage was also knocked to the ground.

    Lin Mutao walked over to help the iron cage up, but found that the cage was so heavy that she couldn't lift it at all. She wanted to call Shijiu to help, but saw the bottom of the cage glowing faintly white in the moonlight.

    "What is that?" Lin Mutao was a little surprised, and looked over carefully. It was found that some marks were drawn on the bottom of the cage, and it was not clear what it was.

    When they came during the day, they looked outside the cage, but didn't look at the bottom of the cage. In addition, the cage is placed in the corner of the house, and the lighting is not good, so I didn't find it during the day.

    Shijiu came over, stretched out his hand and wiped it on the bottom of the cage, then sniffed it close to his nose, frowned and said, "It feels a bit like a special paint? It's been dry for a long time. , but there is still some saltiness to it."

    Lin Mutao said in surprise: "Why is it gone again? I can't see it?"

    Why does the pattern in this cage appear and disappear?

    She pushed Shijiu next to her, "Excuse me, please step aside."

    When the wine paused, she still moved her footsteps and walked to a place next to her.

    When he moved, the pattern on the bottom of the cage reappeared with a faint luster.

    "It's the moonlight!" Lin Mutao exclaimed in surprise, "Just now you stood here, blocking the moonlight, and the pattern at the bottom of the cage can't be seen! It seems that the pattern at the bottom of the cage needs the moon Shine to be seen."

    "But there is only a small window in this room, so it's hard for the moonlight to come in, so how can I see the patterns in the cage?" Lin Mutao was a little worried.

    "Take the cage out of the house and you can see it." Shijiu said.

    Lin Mutao was still a little worried, "But this cage is very heavy."

    "It's fine, I'll just lift it," Shijiu rolled up his sleeves, walked to the cage, grabbed the two poles of the cage, and lifted it hard.

    Nothing happens.

    Looking at Lin Mutao's strange eyes, Shijiu coughed, "I misestimated the weight of the cage just now, now I'll try again."

     Shi Jiu rubbed his hands, then squatted down slightly, lowering his center of gravity. He grabbed the two poles again, "Hu Chi—", he tried hard, this time he finally lifted the cage, and walked towards the door with a trembling step.

    Lin Mutao chased behind, "Do you need my help?"

    Shijiu blushed, and the handsome facial features were a little distorted because of the force, but still refused: "No need, I'll do it."

    Lin Mutao was really worried that Shijiu's waist was twisted, but fortunately the cage was successfully carried out of Li Dafu's house and thrown at the door. moonlight

    Shi Jiu straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

    The cold and shallow moonlight sprinkled on the black iron cage, and the bottom of the iron cage was illuminated, emitting a faint white light. It was a painting, as if it had come to life, it was lifelike and shocking.

    There are two characters in the painting, one is a woman with long hair, but her lower body is a fish tail. And the other person is a man.

    Lin Mutao was surprised: "This is the mermaid who drew the process of acquaintance with Li Dafu in the cage!"

    In the painting, the mermaid has been in the sea, but one night he surfaced and saw Li Dafu sitting on a small fishing boat fishing. That night, she simply fell in love with Li Dafu.

    From then on, every night when Li Dafu came to fish, the mermaid would come out to see him, and one person and one fish quickly became familiar.

    In the bright moonlight, they expressed their love to each other and poured out their thoughts. In order to be with their lover all the time, the mermaid finally gave up, came out of the sea, and followed Li Dafu to the small fishing village .

    What she did not expect was that what Li Dafu prepared for her was not a warm love nest, but a cold iron cage.

    In order to make her shed pearls, Li Dafu beat and scolded her every day, forced her, and used her tears to sell money.

    But I didn't expect - Li Dafu was still not satisfied. He takes her to town and starts a mermaid tour...

    The story ends here, the mermaid doesn't draw any more... It's also possible that she can't draw anymore.

    Small pictures fill the bottom of the cage, maybe the only pastime of the mermaid locked in the cage, from the ignorant painting of the girl to the complete heart death.

    Lin Mutao choked a little: "No one has ever discovered these paintings, right?"

    Li Dafu used this cage as a tool for him to make money. He never thought of taking the mermaid in the cage outside to see her favorite moonlight, so he didn't find it.

    People in the fishing village regarded this cage as a relic left by the great man, and placed it respectfully in the corner where the moonlight was not visible, so they did not find it.

    None of them discovered that this cage actually recorded the short life of a mermaid.

    While Lin Mutao was still sighing, Shijiu, who was beside him, asked, "We guessed before that the Xiaoluo is not by the sea, but in a place related to the sea. Now it seems that , this cage is related to mermaids, in other words, it is related to the sea. So where is the little snail?"

    Lin Mutao's tears were still rolling in her eyes, when she heard this, she immediately stared at her. Brother, in such a sad environment, you are truly a sight!

    Looking at Lin Mutao's eyes, Shi Jiu Er was puzzled, what happened? Did he say something wrong?
