Ordinary days in another world

Chapter 88

Jiang Xia has never been so desperate. Even during the few days when she was captured by the barbarians, she only had to worry about the pain of losing her innocence and being separated from her family. Now she is facing the fate of being starved to death. , Jiang Xia soaked in the sea water and shed tears, her suppressed sobbing made her look extremely decadent.

Jiang Xia suddenly discovered that the strength and bravery in the past came from the power of love and family affection. It was the support and protection of Ares, the two little tigers, and Ai Wenmu's father that made Jiang Xia what she is today. Just imagine if she had just traveled through Did you come across this situation when you came here?It's not that no matter how many difficulties there are, you have to work hard to survive!The worst situation is now like this, where can I go to the cup!Jiang Xia, who had been depressed for a while, wiped away her tears and cheered up again, life will always get better.

After entering the water this time, Jiang Xia discovered that she could swim. Although her swimming posture was not very good, it was definitely a surprise for Jiang Xia, who was a real sweaty duck in her previous life.She took a deep breath and tried to dive into the water. She didn't need to breathe for several minutes. Jiang Xia even had an illusion that as long as she could calm down, not open her mouth indiscriminately, and not be choked by the sea water, she would never suffocate in the water. Feel.

Of course, this illusion is just Jiang Xia's hazy feeling. At this time, she has no time to pay attention to this unusual strangeness, because she found that she can dive, Jiang Xia dived into the water, and finally picked up a crab in the diving bay. Much faster than her, Xiao couldn't think of it at all. The crab in his hand was not because of her quick reaction, it almost got into the sand in the sea.Holding the crab shell, Jiang Xia stared at Mr. Crab who was spitting bubbles.

Do you want to eat this guy raw?It's really challenging Jiang Xia's nerves, she is not a beast, so she can't say anything?A moment ago, the Crab Lord, who thought he was doomed, woke up and found that the human beings in front of him seemed to be unable to do anything to it, so he waved its claws in an instant. There was no way, it was all for survival, you know.So before Jiang Xia could figure out how to dispose of her loot, Mr. Crab's claws clamped Jiang Xia's fingers in a strange posture, and "hissed", the guy who seemed to be food jumped into the water immediately, Jiang Xia Rubbing her pinched fingers, well, now she doesn't have to think about how to deal with raw seafood.

"Charlotte, why didn't you go ashore?" Xiao Shan originally wanted to sneak over to see how his new friend was doing today, but who knew that this human being was still soaking in the water.

"Xiaoshan?" Jiang Xia looked at the mermaid boy who suddenly emerged from the sea. He found all the clothes on his body. Maybe this good boy who is willing to help others can help.

"Charlotte, are you okay?" Xiao Shan squinted his eyes and seemed in a good mood. He was still worried about whether his new friend would leave without saying goodbye, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.

"Well, have you eaten yet?" Jiang Xia embarrassed herself as soon as she opened her mouth. She can't be blamed for this. Jiang Xia hadn't eaten since Ares and the others attacked the barbarians. , I didn’t know how many meals were missing, and I felt hungry and weak when I calmed down. Would it be too shameful to ask a boy I had just met for a long time to help with food? Fortunately, Jiang Xia didn’t need to be particularly entangled. The sound of hungry stomach grunting came clearly from the water.

"Have you eaten yet, Charlotte?"

"Well, the fish in the water swim too fast, I can't catch it..." Before Jiang Xia could figure out how to ask someone for help, Xiao Shan turned around and plunged into the water without saying a word.

Compared to Jiang Xia's inefficiency, the mermaid's speed was comparable to the speed of light.Jiang Xia was looking into the water gratefully, Xiao Shan had already come out of the water holding a sea fish. "Here, this fish is delicious and delicious."

"Thank you, Xiaoshan," Jiang Xia is not hypocritical, let's fill his stomach first and then think about other things, there is no kindling, I am afraid I can only eat sashimi in the future, Jiang Xia frowned while holding the absolutely fresh food, considerate Xiaoshan's children's shoes took over a pound of sea fish, but Jiang Xia didn't see how he did it, and a piece of fish fillet with transparent texture and light pink was brought over.

Jiang Xia took it carefully. Fortunately, she had eaten Japanese food in modern times, which was more acceptable to her than Mr. Crab.The faint fishy and salty taste in the mouth, and the smooth taste completely mobilized Jiang Xia's hunger. Xiao Shan handed over another slice, and Jiang Xia chewed again.Soon, the whole sea fish was wiped out. Jiang Xia couldn't get enough of it. She was worried that eating too much fresh food would not be able to bear it in her stomach, so she had to force herself to stop and comfort herself. As long as there is this kind mermaid, at least seafood can keep up with the supply up.

Jiang Xia, who was full, decided to reciprocate. Anyway, she has not yet thought about how she will go in the future. In this case, it is better to get close to the set around her, at least three meals a day will be settled.

"Why did you name him Xiaoshan?" After getting rid of the danger of starvation, Jiang Xia's keen thinking came back, and with her age and qualifications, she coaxed the young boy to do well.

Sure enough, the young boy especially liked his own name. When he heard the question from his new friend, he immediately smiled, as if he was waiting for someone to ask him, "I named myself, isn't it nice? It's like that green mountain. Xiaoshan is not yet an adult, but when he becomes an adult, he will be as tall and strong as Dashan."

Jiang Xia was stunned by a series of mountains. The overall meaning is nothing more than the little mermaid boy living in the water who loves and yearns for nature, so he put his name close to the tallest object on land. The wish is beautiful, but the reality I'm afraid it's a bit cruel, Jiang Xia looked at the handsome appearance of Xiaoshan's children's shoes and thought, maybe it's because of living in the sea all the year round, the fair skin has no blemishes, soft and delicate, and rough-looking orcs, it's a feminine little boy at all. Beautiful man, Jiang Xia met Luomen who raised a big tiger since she was a child. At first she thought that Luomen's appearance was that kind of handsome and feminine. With the current classmate Xiaoshan as a comparison, Luomen can only be a little more handsome. Orcs gone.

Thinking that the pretty boy with flowers longs for a life in nature on land, and now he has no place to go except to stay in the water. Next, when chatting with Xiao Shan, Jiang Xia will talk about some anecdotes about life on land. Rabbits, all kinds of beautiful flowers that can cure diseases, make Xiaoshan giggle, and at the same time randomly insert some questions about the environment here, such as the name of this sea area, where is the freshwater estuary, and what are the places on the shore? There are no orc tribes that are closer, etc.The simple-minded Xiaoshan almost answered every question, which made Jiang Xia understand her situation somewhat.

If she guessed correctly, she drifted with the river into the sea to the southeast of the tribe. If she remembers correctly, the Yuzu clan who traded with the Andong tribe in the past was a coastal tribe in the northeast. If you look in the northwest direction, you should be able to reach your own tribe first. Of course, this is only a general direction. Without solving the problem of keeping warm and eating, Jiang Xia can't go anywhere for the time being.

As for which orc tribes are on the nearest land, Xiaoshan is completely unclear. First, he has always lived in the sea and has never been to land. Second, the sea area here should be relatively remote according to Xiaoshan's description. , at least Xiao Shan rarely saw land beastmen appearing in the years he lived here.

Jiang Xia thinks again, there is no orc tribe, there are advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that she doesn't have to worry about being robbed by the tribe orcs who appear out of nowhere when she lands one day, the disadvantage is that there are no orcs The place of activity is comparable to the virgin forest, can she really return home with her own ability?
Not mentioning these frustrating situations, Jiang Xia figured out one thing, why Xiaoshan didn't feel surprised when he saw her naked. The females in Xiaoshan's mermaid clan have the same body as hers, well, at least the upper body It's the same. In fact, Jiang Xia was suspicious when Xiaoshan found her clothes and said words like "sisters". Now Xiaoshan admits that the female mermaids of their clan are really genuine. The female has the same structure as Jiang Xia except for the fish tail.Jiang Xia can only sigh with emotion, drifting to this sea after falling into the water by accident, and meeting people from Xiaoshan who are similar in essence to her, Jiang Xia feels that she is quite destined to be here, and at the same time she does not forget to pray that she will be here again. You can really get lucky here.It's just that Jiang Xia didn't expect that her fate with this place would be so deep and so far away.

There are people in Xiaoshan who have their own lives, and they can't spend all their time with Jiang Xia. Although Jiang Xia can tell from Xiaoshan that he is a leisurely young fish with almost nothing important to do. What Xia heard most from him was his uncle, an uncle who could do everything that Xiao Shan admired so much. Xiao Shan lost his parents when he was a child, and only grew up with his uncle.The similar life experience made Jiang Xia get closer to this little mermaid boy.

For her own needs, Jiang Xia asked Xiao Shan to come again during dinner before he left, and it would be best if he could bring two fish.The point is of course the last sentence. In order not to starve, Jiang Xia resolutely piled her face thicker than the city wall. There is no other way. Xiaoshan is her only life-saving straw here. This straw must be firmly grasped, at least she still has a glimmer of life, Jiang Xia's strong desire to go home made Jiang Xia have to face the reality clearly.

It's just that Jiang Xia's wish to hold on to the straw is very good, and the straw itself is very happy, but the straw's family is not necessarily happy to see it come true.When the sun was about to set in the evening, Xiao Shan came and brought two sea fish, one of which was alive, he put a piece of seaweed on its mouth, and asked Jiang Xia to press it down with a stone, so that it could be used as tomorrow's breakfast. , the lovely Xiaoshan also found Jiang Xia a shell with a sharper edge. This thing is not lacking in the sea. Jiang Xia only needs to grind it on a stone to use it as a shell knife.Jiang Xia is completely shameless. Before she was able to go home, she would definitely repay Xiaoshan's children's shoes. Now that she is penniless, she is completely broken. It is best to keep the life-saving things .

Jiang Xia made dinner by herself, well, she just sliced ​​the sea fish brought by Xiaoshan into fillets.Jiang Xia can already swim farther without any psychological barriers, clean up the sea fish, and don't care that her body is still in the sea, and after swimming back, she can eat things that can bring her energy.Even if it's all done in seawater where she's in full contact.In other words, Jiang Xia no longer cared about her obsession with cleanliness. Anyway, those dirty things would be carried away by the current, and in this ocean that encompasses everything, there is really everything, so why should she be so hypocritical.

However, Jiang Xia is getting more and more strange. She has been soaking in the sea for so long but she has no discomfort at all. Well, except that she is not a fish and cannot hunt in the water, Jiang Xia feels that she can be described as like a fish in water. .If Jiang Xia hadn't been sure that this body belonged to Charlotte, she would have doubted that she had changed her shell again.

When the last ray of the sunset was left, Xiao Shan was about to say goodbye and leave. He had to go home to rest, and Jiang Xia also wanted to rest on the sea alone, thinking about how he would go in the future. As for safety issues, Jiang Xia was completely Don't worry, the small shallow bay that Xiaoshan found for her prevents the approach of large creatures in the sea. Small fish and shrimps are impossible to pose a threat to life. Jiang Xia even considers that she will have to learn from Xiaoshan from tomorrow. Hunting skills and making efforts in the face of reality are the survival instincts she learned in ancient times.

Jiang Xia's only worry is whether she will sink into the water and drown herself when she sleeps at night.Embarrassed by her own unique thoughts, Jiang Xia realized that Xiao Shan's children's shoes, who had planned to turn around and jump into the water, had stiffened. Jiang Xia, who hadn't noticed the changes around her, asked, "Xiao Shan, what's wrong with you? "

Afterwards, Jiang Xia followed the eyes of the little mermaid and saw the tall figure of an adult mermaid rising from the sea ahead. "Uncle, uncle, why are you here?"

It’s as if they came out of the ground, and they “came up”, well, Jiang Xia admitted that she flinched a bit, this is the rhythm of other parents’ coming to find their children, is there any reason, why are Mao’s parents still looking for their children? Without speaking, she had the illusion that she was a bad aunt who abducted and trafficked children?No, the earnest words of the parents have come to the fore, it is completely a line that will never change in the past and present!
"Why don't you go home for dinner? Didn't I tell you not to come to the sea casually? How did you agree to me?" Xiaoshan's uncle approached slowly while questioning, Jiang Xia could see him below the waistline The faint fish tail.Oh, this is Xiao Shan's omnipotent uncle, Jiang Xia secretly cheers herself up, she is now relying on Xiao Shan, she must make a good impression on her parents, otherwise if Xiao Shan is dragged back into the sea, she will die It's warped.

Xiao Shan was still looking down and trying to find a way. It looked like a kid who had done something wrong, and he completely forgot to introduce it to Jiang Xia.In line with the principle of reaching out and not hitting people with smiling faces, Jiang Xia tried her best to smile, walked forward some distance, and said to the visitor sincerely, "Hello, uncle, I am Xiaoshan's friend, he saved me, I... .”

When the originally tall mermaid uncle was very close to Jiang Xia, he suddenly froze as if he had been struck by electricity. Jiang Xia could even see the rolling teardrops in his water green eyes.What rhythm is this?Jiang Xia fell silent, feeling that something weird would happen next.

"Ewen, is that you?"

"..." What is this situation?Jiang Xia was a little breathless.Mu's father lived in the Zailin tribe since he was a child. Jiang Xia knew that except for the time when he met Charlotte's father when he was lost, he almost never left the tribe. The male mermaid called out Mu's name as soon as he spoke , the meaning is absolutely extraordinary.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Xia's appearance is just similar to that of Ewen's father. If Ares was here, it would be obvious that his partner's facial features looked more like the male mermaid in front of him, but the person involved accidentally understood it. That's all.

At this moment, Lang Luo's heart has already turned into a storm, and the appearance of Ai Wen has been deeply embedded in his heart. It is impossible for him to forget his lover, and of course he will not admit the wrong person. Human beings are so similar to Ewen, how long has he not seen human beings?Of course, the only human being he is familiar with is Ai Wen, and he has only seen the people who took Ai Wen from a distance.His lover, I don't know if there will be a day when we will meet again in this life.

Lan Luo recovered from the gaffe, thinking of Xiao Shan running around to make friends with foreigners without telling him, Lan Luo felt that it was necessary to take this careless nephew back home and give him a good lesson. As for Jiang Xia, a human being, the mermaid Lan Luo He hadn't thought about it deeply yet, although the similarity made him doubt for a moment, but the age was completely wrong, and Lang Luo didn't think about it at all.

"Do you know the name of my mother's father? Ai Wen is my mother's father, and I am from the Zailin tribe." Jiang Xia took a deep breath and expressed her meaning most appropriately.

A few ordinary words made Lan Luo dumbfounded. Of course, he knew which tribe his lover belonged to. It is impossible for tribesmen to have repeated names. After counting the time, Xiaoshan was shocked when he found that the elegant and powerful uncle in the past The look in his eyes was so trembling that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"You, your mother-in-law, I, Ewen, I am you, your name is Charlotte, isn't it?" Lan Luo stared at the female in front of him expectantly, "Are you 17 years old this year?"

The feeling that the dust had settled made Jiang Xia feel relieved, so it was like this, Jiang Xia thought, and now she can understand why her father never mentioned her father, why her body is different from other females, Why didn't Mu's father say that his father was dead but never mentioned looking for him again.I really can't afford to be hurt by interracial love or something, and it's not in the same space.At this moment, Jiang Xia loves her mother-in-law so much. Is it happiness or sadness to fall in love with such a lover?At least, Mu's father has been living very strong. "My name is Charlotte. I am 17 years old. I was conceived when my mother, Iwen, disappeared. Besides, I am different from other females in the tribe." This explanation should make each other understand Well, Jiang Xia was a little at a loss for this father who appeared unexpectedly. Charlotte's tragic childhood also has a lot to do with this man. If he can form a normal family with her mother, Charlotte should not Died, but if Charlotte is still alive, she will not come here across time and space, and meet the lover in her life, the lovely child, what else can she say, it can only be explained by fate, again Fate let her find the other half of this body when she was desperate.
