[2 shifts] Do guests drink face wash.
Dungeon A moment of silence.
Xu You retreated to the farthest position, his back against the wall, hugging his knees and looking at him.
His neck, hands, and waist were chained, and his tail was pierced by an arrow, so he couldn't attack her from a certain distance.
They stared at each other in the air, Xu You found a chance to talk, "Don't get excited, you're still hurt, I'm not the one who hurt you, I've been locked up here for five years."
So much so that her father forgot that Dungeon had a daughter inside, and sent the sharks in as well.
Seeing that Si Yu's body is still oozing blood from wounds of all sizes, it is believed that he must have suffered a lot before he was put into the Dungeon, but those people had no choice but to keep him alive, so they had no choice but to lock him up first.
"And I was trying to help you block an arrow, but you threw me off," Xu You continued, "I was trying to help you pull out an arrow, not to harm you, but you tried to give me a claw."
"If I hadn't been so quick, you'd have caught me in the act."
"You can't do fish with a vengeance." Xu You said in a serious manner.
Maybe it belongs to the tender and clear voice of a little girl, which makes people easy to soften and believe, he slowly put down his guard, the scarlet in his eyes faded, and his sharp claws also retracted, turning into a white, slender and well-boned hand.
Maybe he didn't want her to get close, or maybe he thought the little girl couldn't do it, he pulled the arrow out himself, the barbs on the arrow hooked out a lot of his flesh and blood, and the sound of that muscle tearing screamed one's teeth.
He had used up all his strength after pulling out the arrow, and after throwing it away, he collapsed back onto the ground, slowly closing his eyes, his chest rising and falling slightly.
After a while, Xu You asks gently, "Would you like some water?"
It was her wash, but who knew if she didn't say so, and she wasn't sure how long the shark could stay out of the water; the scales on his tail were like sun-dried rocks, especially dry and slightly cocked and erect.
He didn't move or answer, and Xu You wasn't sure if he was asleep.
After thinking about it, she carried the remaining half-bucket of water and approached step by step, still with a heart ready to retreat at any moment.
But he didn't move even when she got close enough to him.
Dungeon's light is not very good, she got close enough to see his face, the more she looked at him, the more she thought he looked good, although he belonged to the demon category, but different from Jue Shen's kind of demonic beauty.
He had an aura of clean beauty, with long eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, and every inch of his lines gave a sense of refinement.
It should be one of those treasured works of art.
Xu You scooped up a handful of water in his hand, originally wanting to tell Si Yu to get up and take a sip, but he stared at him for too long, and the water leaked out of his fingertips, crackling and showering him all over his face.
"......" Mistake mistake, beauty mistakes me.
Si Yu's eyelashes twitched and he opened his eyes.
Xu You See another stunned, his light blue eyes like the blue sky into the clear lake, clear and bright, and at the moment this good-looking lake reflected her ......
Dirty face.
Xu You coughed softly and asked him in a low voice, "Do you want some water, there's half a bucket here."
A moment of silence.
He wore a confused expression, as if he didn't understand why she was bringing him water, when he had clearly hurt her before, though he hadn't had time to retract his tail when he had swung it, and only had time to gather his strength.
Xu You pushed the barrel toward him, and Si Yu looked at her to make sure that she was indeed trying to give him a drink before picking up the barrel, taking a couple sips and pushing it back to her.
Xu You Seeing how he drank in a hurry, I knew he had been thirsty for too long, but I just didn't expect that he didn't finish it all at once, and still had half of it left to come back.
Xu You: Did the wash water have a wash flavor and he drank it out?
She did not know that Si Yu was thinking that water was not easy to come by during the time of captivity and wanted to save some for her, she did not move to survey him and saw that he did not have a strange expression, and only then did she put her heart down a little.
Si Yu reclined and closed his eyes again, he remembered that the other sharks often said to stay away from the human race, because people were greedy and fickle, worse than sea foxes, if they bumped into the human race, they would easily suffer a big loss, he had been tortured for a long time earlier.
He thought to himself that when he had recovered and was back in the sea, he must stay far away from the human race.
The thoughts in his head were interrupted by the slightly cool liquid, and Si Yu opened his eyes again and raised his head to see the little girl crouching next to his tail, scooping up water and drenching it over and over again.
Xu You really felt that this good-looking big tail was scarred and dry and lifted up, it was really hard to bear, anyway, she was idle, so she tried to see if it would be better to get some water on it.
Luckily, when the fish scales met the water, it was like a dead tree regaining some of its color, and many of the warped areas slowly closed up.
Noticing his gaze, Xu You looked at him sideways, "Still want some water, if not I'll get some on your tail, do you feel better?"
He didn't say anything, but Xu You read the meaning in his eyes, asking why she didn't drink it herself.
"I drank it," Xu You said, "It was supposed to be a keg, and I used up half of it earlier."
Si Yu didn't show anything else and continued to close his eyes.
And this time he had none of those stray thoughts in his head, only the bright eyes on the little girl's muddy face.
It's even better than the stone crystals deep under the sea.
Not all races are bad, he thought.
After a long time, he wondered again if he could have her eyes, and he was tempted to put them in the shells where he collected things.
--
Toward evening the jailer brought food again, no meat of course, but enough to fill her up.
With a fresh bucket of water, the jailer left with the empty bucket, not forgetting to tell Xu You, "Remember what you said."
Xu You : "Don't worry, if you can do it, I will certainly not forget."
After she had eaten her fill, she saw that Si Yu had not yet woken up, so she stripped herself naked and used half of the bucket of water to scrub the sludge on her body. The only advantage of this small body is that it saves water, but I wonder if Si Yu would be willing to drink the rest of the bucket of bath water.
As the sky quickly darkens and visibility decreases dramatically, Xu You grabs a hold of him and wakes him up, "There's water again, do you want some more, if not I'll put it on your tail."
He had an unusually large tail, and the earlier bit of water wasn't enough for a small side.
Si Yu opens his eyes and shakes his head slightly before pointing to the wounds on his body.
Xu You didn't understand what he meant, was he saying don't get water on your body because there are wounds on your body?
Si Yu saw her disbelief and pointed to the barrel and then to the wounds on her body.
Xu You interpreted, "You mean pouring water on the wound?"
Isn't that the same thing as sprinkling salt on a wound, which she'd made a point of avoiding before, but thinking that he might not be quite the same as an underwater creature, Xu You first cupped a handful of water and tentatively drenched the small wound on the side of his waist.
Seeing that he didn't frown in pain, she was relieved to boldly pour all the water on his wounds, but there were too many wounds on his body, and this amount of water wasn't enough at all, so she had to wait for tomorrow.
She finished her business and sat down next to him.
It's completely dark, not even a Moon, so Xu You has trouble seeing in the darkness of the Dungeon, but the darkness doesn't affect Si Yu's vision.
He saw the bored little girl lying next to him, touching her hand to his head and gesturing, then moving to his tail and gesturing, and finally gesturing herself.
Not sure what she was doing, but he didn't interrupt out loud.
In fact, Xu You, who was bored to death, was using Si Yu as a reference point to measure her own small stature, and roughly measured Si Yu at around two meters, while she was only half his size, which translated to just over one meter.
It's too bad, isn't it? The original body was fourteen and a half, maybe nine years old or so, locked up in this dark Dungeon, with no food and no sun, basically not growing and not developing.
Xu You sighed silently, sensing Si Yu's complete lack of murderous intent towards her, she struck up a conversation, "I haven't told you my name yet."
"My name is Xu You , what's yours?" Although she already knew his name, it was more natural to make friends and start exchanging familiarizations by name first.
It was peaceful and quiet next to her, looking like she wasn't going to participate in her nightly tea party activities.
But she's always been good at saying to herself, "You're a demon, but I'm not afraid of you because everyone says I'm a demon child."
Si Yu froze and looked at her slightly sideways, not sensing the demonic aura on her at all.
"The Master of the State said that I was a demon child scourge, and everyone was convinced of it, so I've been locked up here for a long, long time, so long that I've forgotten what it's like out there, so long that I can barely talk to people."
In the quiet of the Dungeon, a clear, childlike voice echoes softly.
Even Xu You was slightly stunned, except for the first two words, which she said casually, the latter words unconsciously took on the emotions of this body, the feeling of being smothered in a ball that clogged up her heart, which was magnified several times in the darkness.
"Actually ...... I'm not a demon."
"And I'm not going to hurt anyone."
"Why Nobody Believes Me ......"
Why, Xu You murmured uncontrollably, the corners of her eyes beginning to moisten.
She always felt a sense of resentment lingering in her heart, like the original body hadn't completely left.
After a long time, Si Yu abruptly opened his mouth and said something.
"...... Hmm?"
He made a very inhuman sound, not one syllable of a word, but a tone, and she suspected that she'd have to use some kind of compiler to translate it.
However, his timbre is extremely beautiful, like gurgling water, and like a jade pearl falling on a plate, sounding beautiful.
Si Yu repeats the tune again.
"............" She's a god if she can understand it.
I never thought that there would be a generation gap between different races and language barriers, and how to do this task, Xu You thought sadly.
After a moment, he coughed lightly and said, "In your human terms, my name is Si Yu ."
Xu You reacted and blurted out, "You speak human?"
Xu You : ...... Wait, it's kind of like cursing.
It was a good thing Si Yu didn't know the connotations; he just hmmmed.
Xu You said, "Are you lying to me, the tone just now was so long, but condensed into just two words?
Xu You was thrilled by the response to the chat, and, fading away from his earlier sadness, he crackled with conversation.
However, she realizes that he doesn't seem to be very comfortable with the human language, so gives simple and few responses, but it's enough to satisfy Xu You's desire to interact.
I don't know how long, next to the raucous voice gradually small, slowly return to quiet, Si Yu side of the head, saw her asleep.
Are all human children this vocal, he thought, they seem to have an endless supply of words, but talking seems to make her happier, she loves to laugh, especially when she's talking.
He thought it was a little strange for the child, how she could still have a bright and brilliant smile, vivid and distinct, like a rose carp inside the water, after being locked up in this gloomy place for so long.
Their Shark Clan did not have many expressions, and the young sharks were not very lively, mostly independent individuals, rarely clustered, so there was little communication.
So he was a bit overwhelmed by the little girl's rambling words.
Slowly, Si Yu also closed his eyes.
--
On the second day, the cell door rattled, Xu You woke up when she heard the commotion, and when she saw the jailer bringing her breakfast, she nodded and smiled, and the jailer didn't dare to give her a look again, and put down the food and water and left.
Xu You was a bit torn as she ate, she was barely full from this amount of food, she wondered if Si Yu wanted to eat it, did he eat human food?
She was going to wait until he woke up to ask, so she took the meal first, and had just washed her face when she saw Si Yu waking up, propped up, his back against the wall.
"Do you eat porridge and steamed bread?" Xu You asked.
Seeing Si Yu's confused expression, obviously not knowing what it is, Xu You decides to bring the jailer's food at noon, show it to him, and then ask him if he wants to eat it.
Because of the light falling in from the barred window, the line of sight is much clearer, Xu You got close to him, and saw that the wounds on his body were recovering as far as the eye could see, compared to his previous condition, and thought that his physique was able to recover extremely fast with water, if there was no water, he was afraid that the healing speed was slower than a normal human being.
It's no wonder the guys put him in the Dungeon instead of the pool.
"Creak-" The cell door opened again.
It can't be delivering food at this time, that's ...... Xu You saw Si Yu's face sink, and immediately turned his head to look.
A man in white robes walked into Dungeon, with high cheekbones and rat-like eyebrows, he held a duster in his hand and scanned Si Yu with an icy gaze that measured objects.
Niezhu Qin , he's coming.
