275. The Mermaid under the Moon 【4】
When Zhuge Canglan said that she had also seen a mermaid, Tu Fangjin's face turned even more ugly. He looked at Zhuge Canglan incredibly and murmured: "Impossible, this is impossible..."
Zhuge Canglan frowned: "What's impossible? You tell the topic!"
Tu Fangjin shook his head and said, "You heard the song, why are you still alive? You must not see it."
Zhuge Canglan's face suddenly became cold. He came to Tu Fangjin in the blink of an eye, grabbed his clothes and asked sternly: "What do you mean?"
Chunyu Yan threw down the grilled fish, came to the two of them quickly, pulled Zhuge Canglan away, and persuaded: "I think Lao Tu doesn't mean that, Lao Tu, please tell me..."
Tu Fangjin's face had a bitter smile, and his voice was hoarse: "Yes, I don't mean that. This lake is called Pearl Lake. According to legend, this desert is not a desert, but a very small kingdom. More than a thousand years ago, the four ministers usurped the throne. The cavalry of Cheyue Kingdom passed by Zhuge Xiaoguo and massacred all the people in the country. The general who led the troops at that time came to the other party's princess, but the princess refused to obey and jumped into a well and committed suicide..."
Chunyu Yan asked: "What happened later..."
"Later... the whole country became a desert overnight, and the well where the princess committed suicide became this lake. The princess's soul possessed her and gradually became a half-ghost and half-demon mermaid. She would choose a traveler who always stayed in the oasis at night and confuse the other party with her singing. Her singing can let you see the person you want to see the most in your heart, but... Once you fall into it, your soul will be hooked away! We can't wake up."
Zhuge Canglan listened to Tu Fangjin finishing the whole story, and it was as if a cold snake was crawling over her back, and her heart was slowing down several beats.
She remembered the feeling that she felt like she was out of her body last night when she heard the song!
Tu Fangjin looked at Zhuge Canglan straight and asked, "Did you...have you...never felt anything after hearing the song last night?"
Zhuge Canglan smiled far-fetchedly: "No, there is nothing to feel about it. You said that this is just... a legend, how can the legend be taken seriously!"
Tu Fangjian shook his head, his eyes flushed, and his expression was very painful: "It's not a legend, it's true... I've been here before, and with my wife, she just... heard the song of the water ghost, and then... was caught away! I never woke up again!"
Zhuge Canglan's heart skipped a beat, and he was afraid of rushing into his heart when he remembered last night.
She suddenly remembered that when she was about to enter the desert, Tu Fangjin looked at the desert, as if there was his lifelong attachment here, and it turned out that he was sad to return home!
Zhuge Canglan couldn't comfort people, so he thought for a long time before he could spit out three words: "You... Satisfaction..."
Chunyu Yan patted Tu Fangjin on the shoulder: "Old Tu, I don't know how to comfort you, I believe you can survive..."
Tu Fangjin did not speak or ask Zhuge Canglan what happened last night. Instead, he picked up a knife and walked towards a red willow tree. His rough palm rubbed a scratch on the tree, as if he was caressing the person he loved the most in his life...
As soon as Tu Fangjin left, Zhuge Canglan's face turned pale. No wonder the mermaid's singing became full of panic and fear. After singing, he hurriedly crawled into the bottom of the lake...
