Chapter 267 267 Mermaid Children (2)
In the interstellar age, the extension of the concept of human beings has been greatly expanded. It not only includes organic life forms, but even cyborgs made of inorganic matter. It is very inclusive of species.
As for the appearance of different races, they vary greatly, with all kinds of strange shapes and sizes, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
So, for Xia Tian, who is used to seeing human appearance, the child's appearance may be a little unique, but for the audience from the interstellar era, it is as common as seeing their own family members. They will not have any special thoughts and are just discussing the plot.
Although the meeting just now was very brief, Xia Tian had already guessed that the child who could appear here at this time was most likely from the orc tribe that Si Ye mentioned.
As for the pearl in her hand...it was given to her as a gift out of consideration, but if she took it away for no reason, then it would be a bit confusing.
She carefully placed the pearls in the animal skin pocket next to her body, checked the route for laying the water pipes, marked the corresponding nodes with stones, and returned home.
Si Ye acted quickly. By the time Xia Tian returned to the camp, he had already hollowed out the middles of all the bamboos and was now processing the prey he had brought back.
When he saw the girl coming back, he looked up and greeted her, then lowered his head and continued to work, perfectly portraying the image of a hardworking and down-to-earth model worker.
He had already heard Xiaoxue's account of the whole process of what had happened in the woods just now.
As long as Xia Xia is safe, nothing else matters.
Lan has been more lively than other children since he was young. It is understandable that he wanted to come out and see Xia Xia out of curiosity. Besides, he also gave her pearls, so he didn't pursue the matter.
Sure enough, as soon as Xia Tian came back, she told him again about the child she met, and carefully took the pearl out of the animal skin bag, "This is a gift from that child. I guess you should know him. This gift is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Rumor has it that pearls are the tears of mermaids.
But in fact, the way mermaids produce pearls is no different from that of clams. They wrap small stones with special secretions in the soft tissue inside their own bodies and polish them bit by bit.
A pearl as big as this one would probably take a child a lifetime to make.
This is not only valuable, but also rare. It is of great significance to him and too valuable to her.
"Have you met Lan?" Si Ye asked knowingly. "That child is a mermaid. He doesn't have any other abilities except making pearls. This thing is beautiful but useless. He gave it to you out of his heart. If you don't want it, he'll be sad."
"But..." Xia Tian hesitated, "But this is too precious. This is just the first time we met, and I didn't say anything to him... How should I put it, for no reason, it always feels a little strange..."
"Why for no reason?" Si Ye chuckled softly, "You're willing to let them live with us and are making plans for their living environment to make their lives better. This is what you should accept."
If she becomes his partner in the future, she will be the de facto mistress of this territory.
According to the hierarchy of the Beast World, it would be reasonable to ask them to come to the court to pay their respects every day, let alone a small pearl?
