The Old Man and the Mermaid

Chapter 13 Research Needs to Be Followed Through

There are quite a few articles and pictures about mermaids on the Internet, but most of them are related to fairy tales, and some of them are jokes that have been quite popular recently.And these jokes are generally quite unbelievable. At first glance, it is worth lamenting how many idlers there are in the world.

For example, Egrele clicked into a post casually, and at the first glance, he saw that a certain floor was discussing what a mermaid should wear—and the discussion focused on the issue of underwear.

Aigre raised his hand and rubbed his eyelids slightly, feeling that he might have offended a god who lost his underwear in gambling.

As for which god it is, according to the differences in the content of myths in various regions, it is worth continuing to deliberate and speculate.

After struggling in his heart, he raised his head and looked at the lines displayed on the screen: The young man found the mermaid girl on the beach. The mermaid girl was naked and shivering in the cold wind.The young man kindly took her home, and after getting along for a while, he went to the street to buy women's underwear for her.The mermaid girl put on a corset, but she couldn't wear panties with her legs apart like a human being, so she straightened her body, bent over and jumped, and while completing a difficult movement, she put her panties on her tail as a beggar's skirt.

Aigre: "..."

People like this who directly make up a beautiful love story into a funny story will probably be dragged out and beaten to death by other readers.

Aigre tried his best to maintain an unwavering expression, moved his finger to operate on the mouse wheel, and continued to look down.

Those replies below are all discussing that funny reply as expected, the sharp words seem to want to directly strangle the neck of the floor master and shake it violently a few times.

Therefore, in order not to let himself think of something not so good when he saw that Mr. Mermaid later, Aigle wisely chose to turn off the computer in time, and lay down on the bed after a simple cleaning.

Before he fell asleep, he checked the alarm at the bedside and closed his eyes after making sure that all the facilities were operating normally. It is safer to turn on the device that detects the surrounding air at any time.

He has always disliked smoking and drinking, but this time he had a rare drink, and he was indeed sleepy.

Egre didn't know that Mr. Mermaid drank like himself, so of course he didn't know that he and himself were maintaining an indescribable tacit understanding, and he also chose to rest early on this seemingly ordinary night. .

The sleeping time of mermaids is almost the same as that of humans, so when one morning came, the mermaids had already opened their eyes, staring at the few rays of light that barely penetrated from the sea surface.

Sunlight can't shine into areas that are too deep. Although he doesn't mind the difference between darkness and light, he still chooses to sleep in a slightly shallower position most of the time.

After opening his eyes, he felt that the dizziness that lingered in his mind last night had completely dissipated, and his consciousness gradually woke up from sleep.The film on his eyes was extraordinarily bright in the light reflection of the sea water, even more conspicuous than the natural light at that time.

It's not too far from Dusk Island. He wasn't in a good condition yesterday, so he just found a place where he could lie down comfortably.The surrounding fish do not need to adjust their periodic sleep according to the sunshine, and they have been wandering around the mermaid from a very early age. They swam with their tails and curled up around the mermaid's body, not afraid of this look at all. No threatening creature.

In fact, the mermaid really wouldn't bother with these small fish.He is not picky about his taste and thinks that any fish tastes the same, so in most cases he is more inclined to provoke those big fish that are a little bit more threatening.

The number of their species is so small that most fish can't even tell whether they are dangerous or not.

The mermaid stared at the sea for a while, then closed her eyes again, allowing the small fish to scratch her arms and chest with their soft tails.

After a while, he raised his tail to gently disperse the school of fish, got up and swam slowly towards the surface of the sea.

When pushing away these fish schools, he once again remembered the scene when the young man with amazing strength grabbed his tail and threw him into the sea when he first came into contact with Aigre.

He never denied the infinite possibilities of human beings in terms of intelligence and development, but rarely formalized their physical strength.Even though it seemed that Aigle lifted him up quite easily at that time, the mermaid recalled a little bit, and knew that as long as his body was a little heavier, it was likely to hurt Aigre's arm.

The mermaid's tail has experienced many years of fighting and killing, and it is amazingly tough. Every scale has grown to the hardness that can perfectly cover and protect the fragile skin of his tail.The muscles and bones under the skin were also strong enough to directly fight against the rock, that's why Aigre didn't directly tear off half of his tail that day.

This reminded him of some methods of cooking marine life in human society, such as removing the heads of shrimps and frying them, or directly cutting off the tails of small fish and eating them raw together with the bones.

Mermaid: "..."

Thinking about it this way, the scene of that day was really quite scary when I recalled it.

But at the same time, he can't deny that those sea creatures that have been processed by various seasonings and cooking methods are indeed much better than raw ones.If you go to Aigre next time, maybe you can ask that young man to help bring some seasonings that are often used in cooking.

As for pots and stoves, they cannot be fully considered for the time being.

After thinking for a while, he changed the direction he originally planned to go to another island, and finally decided to return to Dusk Island.

Mermaids rarely encounter human ships or small boats head-on. When they notice these humans approaching in distant sea areas, they will turn around and leave directly, and will never have any intersection with human groups.

And Dusk Island does not have any large ports, and almost no one will come here for vacation. The mermaid has stayed here for several days, and has never met any human beings who have come to the sea—the one who fishes on the coast every day. middle-aged people do not need to be counted.The mermaid doesn't think he has the ability to discover himself.

So when he met a not too big speedboat in the shallow sea area, he was a little surprised.

He quickly swam to the bottom of the sea for a certain distance, and after making sure that he would not be seen by the submarine viewing glasses equipped on some ships, he raised his head and looked at the bottom of that ship.
