Chapter 256: Different Songs
Everyone in the family agreed to Yun Jiao buying a car for herself.
This small car looked quite unique.
Most importantly, it had three wheels, so there was no fear of falling off if it wasn’t ridden stably.
That night, Yun Jiao rode her small car, following behind her father and mother as they went to wander around the village.
This immediately made all the children in the village cry out in envy, throwing tantrums and rolling on the ground, shouting that they wanted the same kind of car.
That night, the village was filled with the cries of many children and the angry roars of adults, and of course, there were plenty of complaints behind the scenes.
Meanwhile, the culprit, Little Yun Jiao, was happily sleeping while holding Cat Leader.
The next day, she woke up very early.
Because Father and Uncle were going out to sea.
Yun Jiao was still thinking about the pair of jade bracelets she hadn’t bought. Although her slender wrists couldn’t wear them now, it didn’t stop her from liking to collect and admire them.
As for buying them for Mother or Aunt, Yun Jiao said she would buy them if they liked them.
She liked those bracelets.
It wasn’t even fully light yet, and with two dogs following behind her, one cat was already sitting on the boat.
“Father, will you accompany me to the county this afternoon?”
Yun Jiao had heard people talking when she was there before; compared to daytime, the place was more lively at night, and there were more things for sale.
So it didn’t matter if they went a bit later.
“What for? Didn’t you just come back from Old Master Xu’s yesterday?”
Yun Jiao’s eyes sparkled: “To buy two beautiful bracelets, they cost one hundred thousand yuan. Father, please come with me.”
If a child like her went to withdraw and transfer so much money, the bank would probably report it to the police.
“What?!”
Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe, the two brothers rowing the boat, were so shocked when she mentioned one hundred thousand yuan that the boat immediately swayed crookedly.
The two men looked at her with disbelief.
“How much did you say it cost?!”
Did their ears have problems? They must have misheard!
Yun Jiao held up her two plump, fair little paws.
“One hundred thousand.”
Hiss…
The two brothers took an exaggerated gasp of cold air.
“One hundred thousand! What kind of bracelets are that expensive? Even gold bracelets aren’t this expensive!”
Although they didn’t interfere with what Yun Jiao bought with her money on a daily basis, the pocket money they gave her was usually enough, and it was fine if she ran out.
But this sudden large expense, how could they not be excited?
It was more expensive than the house they bought.
What kind of bracelet was so much more expensive than a house!
Yun Linhai: “Jiaojiao, were you tricked?”
Yun Linhe nodded in agreement: “Exactly, whose bracelets are sold for so much, one hundred thousand yuan. I’d think ten thousand was expensive.”
Even gold bracelets weren’t that expensive.
Yun Jiao: “But I really like them, they’re super beautiful.”
Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe exchanged glances; it was the first time they had seen Jiaojiao like something so much.
Yun Linhe said: “How about this, we’ll accompany you to take a look this afternoon.”
They really wanted to see which liar was so bold as to cheat a child.
Hmph, shamelessly!
Yun Jiao nodded: “Okay!”
Thinking about this matter, the two men weren’t as enthusiastic when fishing.
Yun Jiao thought about the orca, said goodbye to her father and uncle, and jumped into the sea.
The two dogs on the boat barked incessantly.
Clearly, they also wanted to jump into the sea.
Yun Jiao: “Stay on the boat. Many of the fish in the sea could eat you. You can’t follow me.”
After speaking, she dove into the sea and disappeared.
Swimming to the area where the orcas often gathered, Yun Jiao’s song spread through the sea.
The special sound waves traveled far.
A school of colorful, beautiful little fish swam after her, forming a particularly beautiful and strange spectacle.
Yun Jiao tilted her head in confusion.
Huh? Her singing could now attract these little fish with little intelligence?
These little fish were visually appealing, but probably not edible and too small, so Yun Jiao had no interest in catching them.
Wherever she swam, these schools of brightly colored little fish followed her.
Yun Jiao’s eyes gleamed with interest, and she led this group of fish towards her boat.
“What’s that noise?”
The people and animals on the boat were astonished to see various kinds of fish appearing from the seabed and circling the boat.
“Wow, aren’t these all deep-sea fish?”
“How did they all come up, and also…”
And they were circling their boat.
This scene was very strange.
They had seen schools of fish before, but those were schools of the same species gathered together. Like this, where the varieties were countless and most of them were small, inedible sea fish gathered together, they had truly never seen anything like it.
“Father, Uncle~”
Yun Jiao popped her head out from under the boat.
“Hahaha… Isn’t it beautiful?”
Yun Linhe’s eyes widened: “These fish are all because of you.”
Yun Jiao nodded.
“I just sang a song.”
She thought about it and figured it must be because of the song.
Merfolk had inheritances. Even if they left their parents at a young age and survived alone in the deep sea, as they grew older, they would receive more and more inheritances.
And these inheritances were all songs.
Different songs had different effects.
These were divided into battle songs, illusion songs, summoning songs, and healing songs, which were relatively soothing and quite attractive to marine life.
The songs she sang to the orcas before were mostly summoning songs.
These songs were only effective on familiar marine creatures with a certain level of intelligence.
In her past life, she used the first three the most. The first two were used during battles and hunting, and the third was for summoning the ‘pets’ she raised.
As for the fourth type, she rarely sang it.
She suddenly sang one today because she wanted to see if other songs could summon the orcas, and what the differences were without the boost from her merfolk origin. But she hadn’t expected to attract so many little fish.
Yun Jiao sat on the edge of the boat and, with a slight opening of her lips, changed her song.
Although these little fish were beautiful, she wanted to see the orcas more, and she wondered how those two sea turtles were doing.
Yun Jiao didn’t have to wait long; the orcas swam from the distant ocean.
Their black and white, strong bodies moved on the sea surface, and they responded to Yun Jiao with their calls.
Yun Jiao heard surprise and joy in their voices.
She wiped her nose, feeling a bit embarrassed that she had been back for a few days but only came to find them today.
With the appearance of the orcas, the colorful, beautiful little fish that had been swimming around the boat scattered in a frenzy.
‘Human, human, you’re back.’
‘Long time no see, long time no see.’
‘Miss you, miss you.’
‘Happy, happy~’
The orcas expressed their emotions very directly.
As they got closer, these orcas leaped up, trying to pounce on Yun Jiao.
Yun Linhai shouted in panic: “The boat is going to capsize!”
Yun Jiao had to jump into the sea to prevent their small wooden boat from being overturned by these large creatures.
“Let’s go, take me to play.”
The orcas circled Yun Jiao, and one orca lifted her from below, taking her towards the deep sea.
