Post-apocalyptic mermaid stranded

Before dawn, Gu Baiqing woke up, turned his head and saw that there was no one beside him.

The window was covered with snow, and it fell apart with a light tap, and some debris fell on the head of the bed, which quickly melted.

Gu Baiqing sat for a while, then tiptoed to the deck.

"I knew you couldn't stay." Wei Lan got up earlier than him, with a high ponytail, squinting him up and down, "Don't infect me."

"I'm not sick." Gu Baiqing rubbed his nose and moved closer, "What are you doing up so early?"

"I slept soundly last night. Now that I woke up, I came over to check the weather." Wei Lan moved his feet, the thick snow layer creaked, and both of them looked down, "We have to send someone to clean again. "

Snowflakes like goose feathers were still flying all over the sky, falling into the sea water and disappearing. Snow was piled up everywhere on the deck. Gu Baiqing stretched out his hand and fiddled with the sail rope beside him, and the fluttering snowflakes fell on the heads and faces of the two of them.

"...Don't force me to beat you up." Wei Lan patted the snowflakes on his head and glared at him.

Gu Baiqing smiled dryly and reached out to help her, but was slapped away again.

"The captain hasn't been right for the past two days." Wei Lan lowered his head to tidy up, seemingly unintentionally said, "When I came out just now, I heard movement in his room, probably because he didn't sleep all night."

"You eavesdropped on his room?" Gu Baiqing pursed his lips inexplicably, "You...don't have a crush on him, do you?"

Wei Lan stopped moving and looked at him quietly: "Don't torment him, he doesn't have a lot of eyes, but he likes to dig into the horns. If you have any ideas, just teach him directly, don't let him think about it by himself, even if he thinks to death I can’t even think of it, he’s just so stupid.”

"……it is good."

"This is the first time I've seen him like this." Wei Lan was a little puzzled, "Is there something wrong with us?"

With his head down, Gu Baiqing stepped restlessly in the snow nest without making a sound.

Wei Lan looked at the dirty snow under his feet, her heart was cold, "Can you solve it?"

"Tell Wei Jin to return my card, and I promise to take you and the captain back to the Eastern Continent, understand?" Gu Baiqing rolled his eyelids and glanced at her, then walked slowly towards the stairs.

...that is, the others will die?

Wei Lan watched his back until he disappeared, unable to move for a while.

Everyone in the cabin hadn't gotten up yet, and the snoring was loud. Gu Baiqing walked through the temporary wooden house and came to the door of the captain's room. With a light push, the door opened with a screeching sound.

The man standing by the window turned his head dully.

"You didn't sleep last night?" Gu Baiqing narrowed his eyes and saw the blackened eye sockets of the captain. He turned around and closed the door helplessly, walked to the table and sat down, and picked up the vegetable cakes on the table without seeing anything.It is said to be cakes, but in fact they are all steamed from seaweed, weeds and other miscellaneous things. It is cold and hard when bitten, and it still has a bitter taste in the mouth, and it will choke your throat when you swallow it.

"Can't sleep." The captain also came over and sat down, his red eyes looked straight at him, "Do you know who the ghost is?"

After taking two bites, Gu Baiqing put down the vegetable cake and shook his head: "Someone has chosen, but I'm not sure who it is yet."

"several?"

"One, or two."

The captain stood up again, walking back and forth anxiously, his leather boots tapping on the floor: "No, I have to confirm it quickly. Grab them and ask them what they are going to do and what their purpose is."

"No one is sure, how to catch?"

"Didn't you have someone to choose? I'd rather kill by mistake than let them go. Arrest them all and interrogate them one by one!"

Gu Baiqing shrunk his legs to the chair, yawned lazily, and spoke vaguely: "Catch them all? Then make everyone nervous? You know we're going to be close to Black Eye tomorrow, right?"

The captain stopped in his tracks, his face was a bit frightening due to excessive fatigue, and his voice was hoarse and frustrated: "Then what do you say?"

"I have my way. I'm telling you. It's not for your help, but for your confidence." Gu Baiqing kicked the chair beside him, and continued after the captain sat down knowingly, "Look See what you look like now? Are you afraid that others won't see that you have a secret? If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't tell you, and Wei Lan complained to me."

"Wei Lan?" The captain touched his face, "I look bad?"

"Well, guess what?" Gu Baiqing was amused by him, and nodded his chin at Chong Caibing, "Hurry up and eat something, then shave, don't worry about the inner ghost, there are more important things in front of you waiting for you."

"……What's up?"

Gu Baiqing was helpless: "Heiyan, didn't I just say that? The inner ghost may not be able to kill you, but the thing in Heiyan is interested in all living people. You are the captain. It’s time to stand up and boost morale, get through the black eye first and then talk about other things.”

"What you said makes sense." The captain nodded, slapped his face violently, and made Gu Baiqing stare with a slap, then said in a rough voice with his red face on his face, "Let's deal with that red octopus first." Say it again!"

"It's not a solution, it's just hiding... Forget it, whatever you want." Gu Baiqing stood up indifferently, before leaving, he looked back at the captain who had started eating, and blinked, "Do you think vegetable cakes are delicious? ?”

"This thing?" The captain raised the vegetable cake in his hand, curled his lips in disgust, "It's not bad if you can eat it."

Gu Baiqing nodded, and said again: "I'm going fishing, do you want to eat?"

"Damn it!" The captain's eyes were about to pop out, and he opened his mouth like a fool, "You ate all the fish you caught?!"

Gu Baiqing smiled, turned and left.

The snowflakes were still falling, and the people on the deck were already shouting and starting to clear the snow.If you don't sweep it, it won't work. It keeps piling up on the deck, and the snow will seep in from the gaps little by little, and it will be even more troublesome to flow into the cabin.Gu Baiqing greeted the crew all the way, walked around the side of the ship, and came to the stern.

Wiggin wasn't fishing, he was on the morning shift today, and he was clearing the snow from the stern of the boat.

Gu Baiqing stepped on the broom in his hand, and when the person raised his head, he raised his chin and said, "Have you met Wei Lan?"

Wei Jin didn't speak, and took out the playing cards from his trouser pocket.

After receiving the card, Gu Baiqing finally had a good face, and said generously: "Okay, even if this matter is over, I appreciate your kindness. Where did you put the fishing rod? I'm just idle, so I'll give you another meal .”

Wei Jin is also a strange person, perhaps because he was afraid that Gu Baiqing would take back the fishing rod, he simply didn't put it in the room, and hid it directly in the stern of the boat.

Holding the fishing rod, Gu Baiqing sat on the wooden plank at the stern of the boat, tilted his head to watch Wei Jin busy around, and made a few words from time to time.And Wei Jin has always maintained a unilateral cold war, just kept silent, and let him mutter alone.

When Fang Zhou came over carrying the rope, what he saw was such a strange scene, and he stood in a corner in a dilemma for a while.

"Fang Zhou." Gu Baiqing waved his hand, Fang Zhou immediately stepped forward, his face was touched, "Why are you here?"

"I'll tie the rope," Fang Zhou didn't dare to resist even though his face was pinched, "the captain said that he would use the rope to pull the boat from bow to stern."

"Well, do it well." Gu Baiqing let go, and the red mark remained on Fang Zhou's face.

Fang Zhou worked very neatly. With a stretch of his arms, he first swept off the snow on the railing, then turned over and climbed up to start working.

The fishing rod that hadn't been moved for a long time finally shook, and Gu Baiqing slid the line to Wei Jin's side.

Even if you watch Wei Jin's planing fish again, you will inevitably be amazed at the exquisite craftsmanship. Gu Baiqing folded his arms and watched intently, but the Fang Zhou on the other side stared straight: "What are you doing?"

Only then did Gu Baiqing remember that he was still there, frowned and took a step forward, grabbed the knife from Wei Jin's hand, turned around and said with a smile: "If you have nothing to do, go do your work."

"Oh." Fang Zhou finally shook the rope left and right, jumped down and said goodbye.

When the people left, Gu Baiqing handed the knife back: "Be careful when hiding and stealing, what will you do if you get caught?"

Wei Jin tilted his head slightly and glanced at him. Eyelashes were clipped at the corners of his long and narrow eyes, which looked really good-looking.

"We will arrive at Nanwei Island soon." Gu Baiqing squatted beside him, watching him pick up the pink and tender fish with the tip of his knife, "Speaking of which, I haven't been to Nanwei Island in winter yet. Listen Is it true that Nanwei Island never snows in winter?"

Wiggin nodded slightly.

"Really?" Gu Baiqing asked curiously, "I heard that Nanwei Island is often haunted by mermaids, is it true?"

Wei Jin turned his face sideways, and the disturbing snowflakes fell on his head, and the fine eyelashes were also stained with a little white, and they fell off in a blink of an eye.

"Mermaid, what do you look like?" Clouds of white mist slipped away from the corner of his mouth, and the corners of Gu Baiqing's eyes were red from the cold, but there was always a soft arc, "Have you seen it?"

"...I've seen it." Wei Jin looked into his eyes firmly, the corners of his tightly pursed mouth were raised upwards, revealing a rare smile, the taciturn and gloomy temperament was swept away, and the brows and eyes were full of comfort, the tone of voice There is a transparent joy, "Silver mermaid, haven't you seen it?"

"Silver." Gu Baiqing chewed the words on the tip of his tongue, "Guess, the silver that someone saw in the sea a few days ago is a mermaid?"

"Why don't you ask the person who saw it?" Wei Jin coaxed the tip of the knife with the fish fillet on Gu Baiqing's mouth, "You always watch me eat, don't you want to take a bite?"
