I'm making soy sauce in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 187 I know the taste of the sea

"Who is the longevity woman she is talking about?" Uncle Mao Li asked curiously.

The boss replied: "It is the old lady Shimabukuro who is the protagonist of the celebration tonight and also the symbol of our island. However, some people say that her real age is more than 100 years old, and some people say that she is more than 200 years old. If you are interested, you can go to the shrine where the celebration is held. Take a look."

"Also, Junhui, the great-granddaughter of Mrs. Shimabukuro, grew up with Saori, and you may be able to ask what you want to know somewhere."

Guangyou scratched his head: "Why do I feel so familiar? Isn't this the style of the relevant department?"

Heiji also felt something was wrong: "Is this treating us like footballs?"

But everyone couldn't help it. Xiaolan and Kazuha were interested in the legend of the mermaid, so they came to the said shrine, and also met the Shimabukuro Junhui that the boss said in the shrine.

When Uncle Mao Li first met, he asked what his real age was. Jun Hui burst out laughing after hearing the rumor that he was two hundred years old. She quickly waved her hand: "It's not that exaggerated. My great-grandmother just turned 130 years old this year. Just check the household registration, she just lived longer than ordinary people."

Several people couldn't help laughing when they heard her indifferent tone. The same was true for Guangyou. With the technological level of the 90s, being able to live to 130 years old can really be said to have witnessed a century of changes in the world.

Perhaps only Jun Hui herself did not feel the faint pretentiousness in that tone.

Pingci looked around but did not see the long-lived lady, so he asked, "Then where is your great-grandmother now?"

"She is praying devoutly in her room for the arrow that will be sent out tonight." Jun Hui answered with a prayer.

Uncle Mao Li is more concerned about another question at this time, that is whether the longevity woman has eaten mermaid meat.

But when Jun Hui heard this question, Shui Ling's big eyes were as wide as light bulbs, and he looked like "you seem to be teasing me". After a while, he smiled and explained: "There seems to be no There is no such animal as the mermaid in fairy tales!"

"The arrow of the dugong?"

Uncle Mao Li's question is also what everyone wants to ask. Since the host of the celebration does not believe in the existence of mermaids, what kind of arrows exist.

Jun Hui explained: "Actually, the so-called Dugong arrow should be the forbidden arrow cast by Zhou Yu to exorcise evil spirits. Later, it was passed down and became the Dugong arrow. This is what my long-gone mother told me. of."

"It turns out that your mother has already"

Xiao Lan didn't say anything after that, but Jun Hui smiled: "It's okay, my mother and father were buried in the sea, and even my grandparents were missing when they went to sea before I was born."

One is a tragedy. This series of tragedies turned into a coffee table, as if there was a curse. Even Guangyou felt that this was a bit evil, but this time he was just a passing handsome guy, at most a handsome guy who brought a beautiful girl to eat seafood .

Everyone also knew that people on this island would be called by death when they went to sea, Jun Hui also saw this, waved his hand and said: "Actually, there is no reason, I didn't have much trouble when I went out with Saori by boat. Well!"

After chatting for a long time, the unintentionally spit out the name instantly attracted everyone's attention, and Uncle Mao Li hurriedly asked, "When?"

Then everyone learned that Junhui asked Saori to accompany her to the city to see a dentist four days ago. Although there is an emergency ambulance station on this small island, there is no regular dentist.

In Jun Hui's memory, Saori at that time seemed to be emotionally agitated because Saori lost the dugong's arrow, and more because she was worried that the mermaid would seek her revenge.

At this time, a woman suddenly came over and said to Jun Hui: "That's because you don't know the power of your great-grandmother. Your great-grandmother did eat mermaid meat before, and the corpse of a mermaid appeared three years ago." Is it gone?"

Although their conversation seemed very interesting and successfully aroused everyone's interest, Guangyou and Xiao Ai were not interested in that at all. After greeting Uncle Mao Li, he took Xiao Ai to the town for a stroll. lock up.

The shrine is generally very quiet near the shrine, with dense forests on both sides. Walking along the path will give people a feeling of returning to the civilized world in an instant.

This island may also be due to the small size of the town, but the population is very dense. At a glance, tourists, young men and women, and elderly people, among which elderly uncles and aunts account for a large proportion.

Even if Guangyou doesn't eat X-force seaweed, he can clearly smell the smell of the sea from the air on the island.

This place is a sanctuary for the elderly, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there is no stressful work, no hard 996, only peace, do something you like every day, call a few old friends to play mahjong and have a drink in the evening liquor.

Guangyou and Xiaoai shuttled among the crowd, all of them had more or less calm smiles on their faces, it seemed that because of the celebration tonight, everyone was making preparations.

The small restaurants on the street were also closed, which inevitably made Guangyou a little disappointed. After all, there was a difference in taste between the fresh ingredients from the seaside and the seafood that had gone through twists and turns in the city.

The price will also be cheaper. In addition to the common features that these coastal areas will have, the lack of electricity in this small town is probably the so-called mermaid.

In addition to those mermaid souvenirs, you can also see notices about tonight's celebration everywhere. Of course, these are not promotional activities, but just for tourists not to miss them.

After all, these activities are already one of the reasons why their small town attracts so many spectators, and their income will be multiplied several times for each celebration.

Guangyou and Xiaoai looked at these buildings with similar styles on the street, no matter how unique they were, they would feel some aesthetic fatigue, and that was when they both wanted to go back.

A beautifully shaped pool appeared in front of the two of them. The pool had strong western characteristics and seemed out of place with the surrounding buildings. There was a carefully carved mermaid statue on it.

The scales on the lower body of the mermaid are clearly carved, and they are still shining in the sun. Xiao Ai took a closer look and found that there seemed to be some glass inlaid on them to deliberately create a sense of light like a fish's tail.

The mermaid was holding a pot in his hand, and the water flowed into the pool from inside. The pool was covered with a thick layer of coins. Seeing this, the two of them understood that the pool seemed to be a wishing pool.

Xiao Ai and Guangyou each took out a coin in a tacit understanding, clasped the coin in their palms with both hands, lowered their heads and closed their eyes, silently thinking about the wishes they wanted to realize.

A few seconds later, the two opened their eyes almost at the same time, and tossed the coins into the pool. The two coins drew two arcs in the air, and with two consecutive "plop" sounds, the coins gradually sank to the bottom of the water , blending with the coins in the pool.
