Chapter 2338 More Than Just a Legend
Su Jiuyao and Gu Hanye arrived a little late, but they caught up with the wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, Su Jiuyao was a little tired, so she did not go dancing. Instead, she sat on the sofa on one side of the banquet hall with Gu Hanye to rest for a while.
After Xiaoyu and Shi Chenyuan toasted their elders, they took a break here and chatted with their friends.
Jiuyao and Xiaoyu hadn't seen each other for many days, so when they met, they didn't stop talking, sharing the strange and interesting things they had encountered, or occasionally complaining about their husbands in a low voice.
Talking about her vacation, Jiuyao mentioned that something very interesting happened on the island, or rather a strange thing...
Su Jiuyao told Xiaoyu that she had been suffering from insomnia for some time. She would wake up in the middle of the night and could not fall asleep again. So she would sit by the window for a while, listening to the sound of the waves, and she would feel much more relaxed.
Then she discovered something: on clear nights, when the moon came out, singing could be heard from the sea.
The voice is ethereal and clean, the singing is melodious and lingering. There is no accompaniment, but the voice is an instrument. There are no lyrics, but it is better than thousands of languages and is very beautiful.
Finally one day, she heard the song again and couldn't help but ask Gu Hanye to get up and listen.
Gu Hanye listened carefully and said that there seemed to be some faint sounds, but they were not very clear.
It happened that the weather had been sunny for several nights in a row, so the two of them got up together, walked to the beach, stepped on the night waves, listened to the songs surrounding the island, and felt like they were in the land of elves.
She planned to record the song, but every time she finished recording, all she could hear when it was played was the sound of waves and wind.
Later, Gu Hanye asked the indigenous residents of the nearby islands about this matter, but no one had ever heard of it. Only an old lady told them that when she was a child, she would go out to sea with her father once a year. They would stop the boat on the sea and let it drift for a while. When the moon came out, they would hear that beautiful singing.
Her father told her that it was the song of mermaids, which could only be heard by those who were extremely close to the ocean.
Then my father would take out a small flute and play along with the singing.
This habit continued until she was 16 years old, and her father went out to sea on that day, but never came back.
When she said this, Xiaoyu's hair stood up instantly. She said, "Aren't mermen the legendary mermaids? This old lady's father must be in love with a mermaid!"
Jiuyao was surprised and said that the old lady really said that, Xiaoyu actually guessed it.
Cheng Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "For this kind of story, we still have to rely on our love brains."
Then she asked Su Jiuyao, "Do you believe it?"
Su Jiuyao said with certainty, of course I believe it, but this kind of belief is a bit like a child's belief in the existence of Santa Claus.
Because she grew up listening to the stories about mermaids told by her grandmother. Of course, the versions her grandmother told her were suitable for children to understand.
Later, she became interested in the legend, so she looked it up and asked around on her own, and gradually she saw the full story.
Once upon a time there was a wealthy family with seven brothers and sisters. Only the seventh was a girl, and the rest were boys.
The seventh girl is pretty and has a good personality. Her parents and six brothers all love her.
When the seventh girl turned 16, the young men in the town came to propose marriage with gifts, but the girl didn't like any of them.
Parents get anxious when they see other people's children getting engaged or married, but their own daughter is obviously the best but still has no partner.
The young man who had proposed marriage before came to visit again that day. He was also the young man that the girl's parents liked the most. He was strong, honest, hardworking, and came from a good family. If their daughter married such a man, her life would definitely get better and better in the future.
After the young man left, his parents tried to persuade their daughter, hoping that she would not miss this simple and capable young man. However, the girl still refused to agree, had a quarrel with her parents, and ran to the beach alone.
Just when she was feeling sad and depressed, she suddenly saw a person lying on the beach in the distance.
She moved closer and found that it was actually a man.
The man had long black hair and delicate features. Although he lay on the beach with a pale face, it could not conceal his dignity and elegance, as if he was a god from heaven who had strayed into the human world.
The girl also found that the man was taller than ordinary people and was wearing a silver robe, which was not like what the locals wore.
It is unknown what kind of fabric the long gown is made of, but when the sea water comes up, the long gown floats in the water like gauze. When the sea water recedes and the wind blows, the fine sand falls off the clothes, and the long gown becomes dry and as new.
The girl was so stunned that she even forgot to save the man. She just stared at him for a long time. When another wave came and almost submerged the man's mouth and nose, she came to her senses and hurriedly helped the man up. Because she had limited strength, she could only lift up such a tall man.
She woke the man up, and he opened his eyes and grabbed her throat, but then he let go after seeing her face clearly.
The man said sorry, his voice was gentle, which once again made the girl feel that he was not an ordinary person.
The girl did not blame the man because she saw a horrific one-foot-long wound on his chest and knew that he must have been attacked and was very vigilant.
She suppressed her curiosity and didn't ask the man where he came from. She just said she wanted to take him home to treat his wounds first. Then she pointed to the distance behind her and said that her home was there and not far away.
The man did not go to her home, but asked her to take him to a place where no one could find him.
So the girl took the man's arm and half-carried and half-carried him to a cave in the back mountain. She had discovered that cave when she went to the mountain to pick flowers before, and it had become her secret base since then.
She also brought him fresh water and food, a bottle of wine for disinfection, and gauze that she had spun herself.
She carefully treated the man's wound, cut the gauze into wide strips and wrapped them around his chest. After she finished all this, she looked up at the man, smiled sweetly, and said that the bandage was done.
When she raised her eyes, she found that the man had a deep gaze. She didn't know how long he had been looking at her. The girl blushed and said that it was getting late and her parents would scold her if she didn't go home. She would come to see him again tomorrow. After that, she turned and ran out of the cave.
From then on, the girl would go to the mountain to pick flowers every day to secretly visit the man and bring him food and water.
In this way, she applied medicine and bandaged him time and time again, brought him food and water time and time again, and finally gave him her heart away.
That was the last time she removed the gauze from the man's wound. The man's wound had healed and he no longer needed the gauze. He could not stay any longer and he said he would leave tomorrow.
The girl threw herself into the man's arms.
This time, not only did I give him my whole heart, I also gave him my whole self.
Afterwards, the man took her out of the cave.
It was a full-moon night. He held her hand and walked to the beach, saying, "I never told you where my home is."
The girl pursed her lips and said, "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."
"I can tell you." After saying that, his eyes fell on the sea.
