The cool lake water is around, but the mermaid can't go any further, her beautiful face slowly turns gray, and after turning into a fish again, her body can't stay on land for two hours, so in time Slowly, she really felt that she would die.
"You said you have lived for five hundred years, so who will prove that you are a mermaid who has lived for five hundred years?" Claire shook her head, then squatted down, looked at the mermaid who was almost dying and said with a smile, " Are you the only one in this lake? I mean you are the only mermaid? Didn’t I hear that mermaids exist in groups?”
"I also want to know why I became a mermaid. I didn't live in the water, I'm just a person. I'm a Spaniard. Columbus's last voyage to America greatly stimulated the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal at that time. So...20 years after the death of Columbus, we...are preparing to go to America again. Our voyage is a secret voyage, because it involves a large amount of treasure. After the Spaniards landed and One of the deals that the Indians made. Our captain at the time... my father, he found a meteorite, and the local legend was that whoever got the meteorite would be immortal. The legend of the Fountain of Youth passed down by pirates is equally fascinating. And my father came to look for this treasure under the order of Queen Isabella of Spain, and I boarded the boat secretly until the boat was halfway. found me." The mermaid seemed to be telling a story. But her voice was a little low, and slowly her head began to hang down.
This is a dying phenomenon. Claire grabbed the mermaid's hand and dragged her to the water's edge. With a slight push, the mermaid turned over and was submerged in the water. As soon as I entered the water, I felt that the fish's tail swayed "Hula", and then the whole body slowly began to twist. The last one turned over, and she regained her vitality. Immerse your body in the water and lie on a rock. Looking at Claire, he waved to Claire.
The breathless mermaid wasn't scary, and Claire never crawled over her, even at her best. She has never been afraid, and even though the mermaid has recovered, she doesn't have the slightest murderous intent towards Claire. Claire slowly walked towards the mermaid. Then he sat in front of the rock she was lying on and looked into her eyes.
"What's your name?" Claire asked, "For so many years, what do you rely on to maintain your life? Preying on fish, shrimp or aquatic plants in the water? You know... According to what you said, you used to be How can humans get used to such food?" Claire was more like a curious baby at this time. She doesn't believe in such legends, but she doesn't believe them at all. Overall, there is evidence that what the mermaid said is true, right?
"It was difficult at first, but in order to survive...sometimes I really had to do something that surprised me, and it was a stormy time.
It was midday...our men and the Indians faced each other. During the transaction, a contradiction occurred. We traded gold robbed and cheated from the continent with the Indian chief who held the meteorite, but because of mutual distrust led to mutual attacks...God...that day...was a miserable day... "The mermaid was stunned, as if she was recalling the scene five hundred years ago. Maybe she could forget the rest of the things, but the scene of that day was something she could never forget.
"Kill them..." Not just someone shouted. Then hid behind a rock. The arquebus wrapped in greased paper fired. Hiding in a dry place can let the arquebus fire their bullets in the first place. "Bang" a burst of smoke rose. Then the chief who was holding the wooden box containing the meteorite was hit, and then fell dead, while the bows and arrows of the Indians also began to attack the group of Spaniards.
There was a loud "boom--", a shell whizzed past the crowd, and the huge round shell rolled out a line of blood. Then there was a second roar, and the Indians were frightened at first, but soon they discovered that apart from these two sounds, there was no sound of that kind of bombardment, so the two sides fought again.
Due to the heavy rain, only two shots from the artillery were fired, and the rest were all wet. And after a round of shooting, the musket had all lost its effect. The Spaniards raised the needles of their spears, and someone with a longbow began to shoot. For the meteorite, Shuangfang's fight has become fierce.
People kept falling down, making wailing sounds, and people kept rushing forward with spears. The Spaniards in this period, their soldiers are the bravest soldiers, they are fearless in this period. The sound of long knives cutting into bones, the sound of sharp arrows piercing into the body, and the sound of spears piercing through the body, in this rainy weather, one after another, the shouts of killing appear dull and cruel in the wind and rain.
Everyone went ashore, and they were all involved in the war, a fight with the local Indian tribe, but only this little girl was still crawling at the bottom of the cabin, not daring to let out the atmosphere. Listening to the vague voice outside, and the faint voice of shouting to kill, she trembled all over.
From noon to Huang, the outside has been very calm, and the rainstorm has stopped. The little girl walked out of the cabin slowly. She felt hungry, but no one had returned to the boat, and the people on the boat never came back after going out. So when she slowly and carefully came out of the cabin, the sunshine after the rainstorm made everything here steamy, as if the moisture in the human body was evaporating.
The little girl walked slowly, stepping over one corpse after another. There are crew members and soldiers I have seen before, and there are also natives who have nothing to wear. The little girl tightened her heart and didn't let herself cry. She was a strong girl in the first place. She didn't want to disturb what her father was doing because of her crying.
But... when she found her father among the corpses, he was already dying, but he was still holding on to a wooden box.
"Father—" the little girl finally felt that her patience had reached its limit, she finally burst into tears, and threw herself at her father's side recklessly, shaking the dying middle-aged man constantly. A strong man, it also kept him awake for a moment.
"Take it, take it away from here, far away from here... God bless you, child... run!" This is the last request of a father. The little girl trembled, she wanted to run, but she couldn't. But in the deep forest, the Indians had already faintly heard the sound of "Awow".
"Go away—" The middle-aged man finally stood up with support, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at the little girl with blood in his eyes, and shouted loudly, "Get away—get away, remember Hold on... Only when you die can you give up this wooden box, get lost—"
The little girl ran away in a hurry, and she fled towards the secret woods on the other side. When she turned her head, she saw an Indian wielding a sharp wooden stick, piercing his father's body.
"Do you know what it feels like?" The mermaid's tone was faint, "Seeing my father being killed, I once thought about killing all the Indians. But... I couldn't do it. "
"So you've never killed anyone?" Claire sneered at her sarcastically, "I don't believe that, there are many legends about mermaids, they kill people, they eat human flesh, from Europe to America, everywhere You can hear the legend of the mermaid, only Hans Christian Andersen would describe the mermaid as a kind and beautiful girl, and live happily with the prince.”
"Andersen? I've heard of this man... I've heard of him many years after our world, but I didn't know he would write mermaids like that." The mermaid girl laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "I don't know. Know what the legend about the mermaid would be, but in this lake, I'm the only one... there's no one else."
"In fact, in this world, except for you, who is alive, the rest only appeared in some legends and non-existent reports. No one has seen it with their own eyes, until now, except me!" Claire shook He nodded and smiled, "So people in this world still regard mermaids as legendary creatures. Before that, I thought the same way, uh... Where did you just say... How did you escape?"
"Because of that meteorite!" the mermaid said, and a distant image flashed in her eyes again. Yes, she will never forget that as she escaped, her physical fitness became better and better, and she continued to grow. She is tall, but the group of Indians pursued her persistently, knowing that she had entered the territory of another Indian.
The fugitive life was over, but she didn't dare to relieve those Indians anymore, she could only stop by a lake, where it was very calm, and she built a body and arms that gradually became very powerful In the cabin, she usually fishes and hunts some small animals for a living. She wandered happily in the forest, swimming freely in the lake, and because of the meteorite, her body was also changing, until one day, she found that she could swim freely in the lake, and her body was constantly changing. When things changed, she ran into a group of unexpected guests again.
The legend of meteorites that can make people live forever is circulating in the upper class of Spain. Batch after batch of people were sent to this new continent. They traced the clues of the battle that day, and then began to search continuously towards this continent.
Until one day, they found such a cabin on this huge lake. The log cabins of the Indians are definitely not such an independent existence, nor will they be built with such a European style. So they were ecstatic and surrounded the cabin. But they found nothing, so they set fire to the cabin, and not far away, the girl was standing trembling in the woods, as if she had returned to the battlefield of that nightmarish day.
