Chapter 48 Song Twilight
"Human beings are the most deceiving creatures. I don't believe what you say." But Song Chao's explanation obviously did not convince the mermaid in front of him.

"She didn't lie to you." Yue beside him couldn't help explaining for Song Chao.

The mermaid turned her eyes to Yue, and after looking up and down, she strangely did not choose to refute, but asked curiously, "Are you the princess of the Blue Dream Butterfly Clan?"

Yue nodded.

The mermaid turned her attention to Song Chao, and the anger on her face faded a lot, "Okay. I believe what you said, but you have to return the spirit pearl to me. This is something belonging to our mermaid clan. It is not too much to give it back to me. Bar?"

Song Chao had no choice but to nod his head.

Thinking of the water-preventing beads that I accidentally bought before, I sighed in my heart, this may be God's will.

While thinking about it, he took out the water-proof bead, replaced the spirit bead in his mouth, and handed it to the mermaid.

The mermaid took it and turned around to swim away, but was stopped by Song Chao.

"I want to ask you one thing, do you know where the strange marks on the human arms come from?" Song Chao asked, staring closely at the expression of the mermaid.

The mermaid's expression was unnatural for a moment, and then turned into full of ridicule.

"Heh, karma, isn't this an idiom invented by you humans?"

After speaking, he turned around and swam away, leaving Song Chao and the others alone.

Song Chao landed on the shore with Yue disappointed.

One man and one beast returned home.

All night.

Early the next morning, Song Chao was awakened by the sound of Song Shan cooking.

In fact, the sound of Songshan's cooking was very quiet, only the slight sound of the shovel and the pot colliding. Ordinary people on the second floor might not even hear it at all.

But Song Dynasty's sleep has always been very shallow, and they can be woken up by a little movement. After the end of the game, this habit has become more serious.

After going downstairs, I happened to see Song Shan coming out of the kitchen and bringing food to the dinner table.

After seeing Song Chao, Song Shan was obviously surprised, apparently he did not expect Song Chao to wake up so early.

Song Chao ignored his surprise, but pulled out his chair and sat down. After sitting down, he said to Song Shan, "Father, I still want to go fishing with you today."

Song Shan looked at Song Chao suspiciously, as if he couldn't figure out why she suddenly fell in love with fishing.

"Dad, I have grown up and I don't want to be a useless person at home waiting to die."

Song Chao originally thought that these words could explain to Song Shan why he wanted to go fishing, but he didn't expect Song Shan to suddenly become depressed after hearing these words.

"Chao Chao, it's dad who's sorry for you. If you weren't on this island, you would have a happy life like other girls. It's a pity..."

Song Chao couldn't see Song Shan being like this, so he quickly made a "well-behaved" expression, "I don't blame dad, I am very happy living on this island with dad."

Song Shan sighed and said nothing more.

After eating, the father and daughter set off to the beach again to prepare for fishing.

The atmosphere in the port today is a little different from before. To be specific, it is much more serious than before.

The seaside used to be a relaxed and happy atmosphere, but now the atmosphere has changed. Everyone is trembling, as if facing an enemy.

It wasn't until the Song Dynasty saw Liao Shun that they knew the reason.

The official who came down from the center for inspection was strolling around leisurely, followed by the man who was supporting him before.

"Look, my lord, this is the daily work of our islanders—"

The man said while pointing at the busy fishermen.

Liao Shun nodded, and walked back and forth at the port, watching as he walked.

Song Chao used his mental power to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, and found that there were no useful clues, so he withdrew his mental power.

It just so happened that Song Shan was also preparing to go to sea at this time——

"Dad is going to the sea. Chaochao should wait for him on the shore first."

Song Chao, who originally planned to follow Song Shan into the sea, chose to follow Song Shan's words after his eyes fell into the corner.

Nodding his head, he watched Song Shan go out to sea.

After Song Shan's figure turned into a small dot in his eyes, Song Chao turned around and walked towards the wooden house in the corner.

The closer we got to the wooden house, the stronger the fishy and rotten smell became. By the time Song Chao stood at the door of the wooden house, the smell was already so strong that it was unbearable for Song Chao.

But it was unbearable and had to be endured, Song Chao took a deep breath and stepped through the door.

The scene inside the door was exactly like what Song Chao had seen that day. There were fish corpses all over the place. Song Chao lowered his head and met a pair of dead fish eyes. It was terrifying and disgusting.

Song Chao carefully stepped through the gap between the corpses and entered the barrel.

The barrels are also full of fish, and most of them are still jumping around.

Although Song Chao didn't understand the function of this wooden barrel fish, he turned around and left when he found nothing unusual.

But, coincidentally, just as she lowered her head and was about to leave in the gap between the corpses, a small scale caught her eyes.

The mermaid's heart protection scale?

wrong!

Song Chao picked up this scale and found that it was similar to Haiyue's heart-protecting scale, but it didn't emit light, and it looked like an ordinary scale.

In desperation, Song Chao asked Yue for help.

"These are the scales of a mermaid!" Yue said to Song Chao. As if he saw the confusion on Song Chao's expression, he explained a little more, "The heart-protecting scales are scales that grow on the heart. These scales are ordinary scales. ."

Song Chao nodded clearly.

However, why do mermaid scales appear here?

The puzzled Song Chao held the scales and left the cabin.

As soon as she went out, Song Chao felt a fiery gaze staring at her, and she subconsciously looked towards where the gaze was located.

A sunny and vigorous boy of fifteen or sixteen was looking at her with a bright face.

Song Mu? !
Song Chao expressed his emotions so openly for the first time, and quickly ran towards the young man with a look of surprise on his face.

He ran to a place about one meter away from the boy and stopped again, with disbelief in his voice:

"Song Mu?"

"Sister, it's me." Song Mu in front of him rushed straight towards Song Chao, and the siblings hugged tightly.

Then they parted again, "Why are you here?"

"I'll do the task." Song Mu looked at his "silly" sister with an idiotic look.

But the next moment, he was slapped on the back of the head by Song Chao.

"You, you, you... Do you know that this will make me look stupid?" Song Mu glared at Song Chao angrily.

"It's okay, stupid children have stupid blessings." Song Chao said lightly.

"Hmph!" Song Mu angrily turned his back to Song Chao, and stopped talking to her.

Song Chao, who knew Song Mu well, knew that he was pretending to be like this on purpose for her to see, so he said quietly, "Oh, I wanted to ask my lovely brother if he had enough points to reward him with pocket money, but now I see He doesn't really need to come—"

"Need, my beautiful, lovely, kind and generous sister, your brother needs this pocket money very much!" Song Mu turned around and nodded while looking at Song Chao doggedly.

"I'll give it to you after the mission."

"Okay, my dear sister!"

"Don't be glib. I have something to ask you. How is your mother?"
