I'm making soy sauce in the detective world

Chapter 187 I Know The Smell Of The Sea

"Which longevity woman does she mean?" Uncle Maori asked curiously.

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

"Furthermore, the great-granddaughter of Mrs. Shimabukuro, Junhui and Saori, grew up together. Maybe you can ask what you want to know wherever you are."

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

Heiji also felt something was wrong: "Does this treat us like the ball?"

But everyone couldn't help it. Xiaolan and Kazue were interested in the mermaid legend, so a few people came to the shrine, and they also saw the owner of Shimabukuro in the shrine.

Uncle Maori asked his true age as soon as they met. Jun Hui chuckled after hearing the rumors of two hundred years old. She waved her hand quickly: "It's not that exaggerated. My great grandmother has just reached a hundred and thirty-three years ago At the age of ten, just check her household registration, she just lives longer than normal."

Several people couldn’t help but smile when they heard her indifferent tone. Guangyou was the same. With the level of science and technology in the 1990s, being able to live a hundred and thirty years old can really be said to have witnessed this world. The change of the century.

Perhaps only Jun Hui herself did not feel the faintly pretending atmosphere in that tone.

Pingci looked around and didn't see the longevity woman, and asked, "Where is your great grandmother now?"

"She is praying piously for the arrow to be sent out tonight in her room." Jun Hui answered in prayer.

Uncle Maori is more concerned about another issue at this time, that is, whether the longevity woman has ever eaten mermaid meat.

But when Junhui heard this question, Shuiling’s big eyes stared like a light bulb, and he looked like "You seem to be teasing me". After a while, he smiled and explained: "This world seems to There is no such thing as a mermaid in a fairy tale!"

"The arrow of the dugong?"

Uncle Maori's question is what everyone wants to ask. Since the host of the celebration doesn't believe in the existence of mermaids, what kind of existence does the arrow really look like?

Jun Hui explained: "In fact, the so-called dugong arrow should be an arrow that exorcated Zhou Yu from evil spirits. Later, it became a dugong arrow. This is what my long-dead mother told me of."

"So your mother is already..."

Xiaolan didn't say anything afterwards, but Junhui smiled: "It's okay. My mother and my father are buried in the sea. Even my grandparents did not know where they were when they went out to sea before I was born."

One is a tragedy. After this series of tragedies, it becomes a coffee table, as if there is a curse. Even Guangyou thinks this is a bit evil, but this time he is just a passing boy, at most a good boy with a beautiful girl eating seafood. .

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

After chatting for a long time, this unintentionally spit out the name instantly caught everyone's attention. Uncle Maori hurriedly asked, "When?

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

At that time, Saori was in Junhui’s memory. It seemed that Saori lost the arrow of the dugong and was emotionally agitated, and more worried that the mermaid would seek her revenge.

Suddenly a woman came over and said to Jun Hui, "That’s because you didn’t know the power of your great-grandmother. Your great-grandmother did eat mermaid meat before, and the corpse of a mermaid didn’t appear three years ago. Is it?"

Although their conversation seemed very interesting and successfully aroused everyone’s interest, Guangyou and Xiao Ai were not interested in this at all. After saying hello to Uncle Maori, he took Xiao Ai to go to the town for a stroll. ring.

Shrines are generally very quiet nearby, with dense forests on both sides. Walking along the path along the loop will instantly give people a sense of returning to the civilized world.

This island may also be due to the small size of the small town. The people are very dense. At a glance, tourists, young men and women, elderly people, and older uncles and aunts make up more of them.

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

There is no shortage of this place is a holy place for retirement, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, no stressful work, no hardship 996, only peaceful, do some things you like every day, and call a few old friends to play mahjong in the evening. liqueur.

Guangyou and Xiao Ai shuttled among the crowd, and 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. The fresh ingredients on the beach and the seafood that had gone through twists and turns in the city were finally different in taste.

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

In addition to the souvenirs of the mermaid, notices about the celebration tonight can also be seen everywhere. Of course, these are not promotional activities, but are just for tourists not to miss it.

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

Guangyou and Xiao Ai looked at these buildings on the street with similar styles, no matter how distinctive they were, they would have some aesthetic fatigue, just 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 step with the surrounding buildings. There was a carefully carved mermaid statue on it.

The scales of the lower body of the mermaid were carved in distinct pieces, and they were still shining in the sun. Xiao Ai took a closer look and discovered that there seemed to be some glass inlaid on it to deliberately create the lightness of a fish tail.

Like a mermaid holding a jar in his hand, water flows from it into the pool. The pool is covered with a thick layer of coins. Seeing this, the two understand that the pool seems to be a wishing pool.

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

A few seconds later, the two opened their eyes almost at the same time and tossed the coin into the pool. The two coins traversed two arcs in the air. With two consecutive "puffs", the coins gradually sank to the bottom. , And merge with the coins in the pool.
