Do not sleep

"Cough cough cough..."

Haoxuan was not crushed by the sudden collapse of the roof, and the vigorous Wu Hutui hid quickly with a shark doll in his arms.

It's just that although the speed of evasion was fast, the dust from the collapse of a large wing room was flying all over the sky, and it was not crushed under the eaves, so the five tigers retreated inevitably choked on some dust.

Fortunately, the five tigers retreated quickly and covered the little baby's head with the coat wrapped around the small tail of the merman doll in time, so that the merman doll didn't choke.

After a while, the dusty dust in the courtyard slowly disappeared, and the shark doll slowly poked its head out of the coat in Wuhu's arms, looking at the embarrassing collapse scene in front of it, completely unaware that it almost collapsed just now. He was crushed under this embarrassment.

Not only was the merman doll not afraid, but she clapped her hands and laughed a few times.

When Xiaohumaru dragged Akashi/National Bank crawling out from under the collapsed house in disgrace, he just heard the happy laughter of Yuren Doll.

"This merman doll can talk." Xiaohuwan coughed a few times to shake off the dust around him, and casually put Akashi/National Bank on the ground beside the courtyard where the collapsed stone bricks and planks were not pressed down.

——Originally, it should be the responsibility of Wu Hutui to fish for Mingshi/National Bank, but it is a pity that now Wuhutui has a merman doll who needs more care.

So when the house collapsed just now, Wuhutui only had time to run away with the shark doll in his arms, Akashi/National Bank was lazy and refused to move, and it was Xiaohumaru who tried his best to poach people here.

"I thought this merman doll was dumb." Xiaohumaru said casually.

No wonder Xiaohuwan thought too much, whose little doll wouldn't shout a few words when carried away by a stranger.

But tonight, the merman doll brought back in the arms of the five tigers, apart from staring at them curiously with small blue eyes, didn't say a word.

Xiaohumaru thought that this shark doll could not speak.

"You can't speak. Not only is the Merman doll not dumb, he can also sing." Wu Hu Tui hummed.

But the merman doll can sing, but the singing voice is words that Wu Hutui can't understand, probably because of the blood talent inherited in the merman's bones.

"The three-year-old merman doll is very small. A merman is only one year old in a hundred years. This merman doll is a baby who hasn't even been born for three days." Human Doll, said.

"Even if it can make a sound, this merman doll can't speak now."

"How can you sing if you can't speak?" Xiaohuwan was a little confused.

This causal relationship is a bit confusing!

"People who can't dance can still go to disco." Wu Hu retreated and rolled his eyes.

"...Can this matter be lumped together?" Akashi/Guo Xing was really speechless at the unreasonable words of the Five Tigers.

But these things are just chatting casually, the point is not this.

The point now is that when it was time to go to bed at night, the wing where the Five Tigers retreated and they temporarily stayed collapsed.

How to do it?

"If you didn't burn the pillars randomly, how could the wing room collapse." Five Tigers retreated and looked at Xiaohuwan and Akashi/Guoxing with condemning eyes.

"The houses here are all so dilapidated. The beams and pillars fell from the decay of their own wood, and we didn't demolish them." Xiaohuwan also felt very innocent, okay?

"Fortunately, there are many courtyard rooms in the temple, so you can always find a place to live." Wu Hu retreated and thought about it.

"The houses in the temple are almost dilapidated. Are you sure we can find a place to live?" Xiaohuwan said, twitching the corners of his mouth.

"No way, as soon as we entered the house, the house collapsed again."

According to the ancient degree of this temple building, this assumption is really not without basis.

Thinking that they spent the whole night in such a dilapidated house last night, Xiao Humaru suddenly felt a little scared.

"Look at it, anyway, we are swordsmen, even if the house collapses, we won't die." Akashi/National Bank is always surprisingly open-minded in these places.

"..." Little Fox Ball.

Not comforted at all.

But it would be nice to have a shelter from the wind and rain in the deep mountains and old forests to sleep in. Do you still have to sleep in the wilderness?

Although Xiaohuwan didn't have any objection to this, it was different when Wuhu retreated.

"How can a merman doll sleep in the wild?" Wu Hu calmed down, saying, "He's still a baby!"

"Where did you pick up this baby?" Xiaohuwan said with a heck.

"Beside the stream in the grove is also in the wilderness. It seems that this shark baby has been there for several years, and I haven't seen him doing anything."

What kind of merman doll is used as a raft, and the five tigers will just say it if they don't want to live in the wild.

So... Five Tigers retreated straight to the point, randomly found a new courtyard wing room in the temple to live in, Xiaohumaru was suspicious and always felt that the house would collapse was completely out of consideration.

That's right, the retreat of the five tigers is so undemocratic.

"..." Little Fox Ball.

Then they were pretending to discuss a ghost just now!

There are many deserted courtyard rooms in the temple, and it is very easy to find a new house before the sleep time of the biological clock at night.

On the big bed made of stone that can accommodate seven or eight people lying side by side, Wu Huti and they just could sleep on it and rest, but they didn't have any bedding at night, so they just made do with it.

Wu Hutui put the merman doll on the bed next to him, and sat on the edge of the bed before bewilderedly patting his stomach and saying something.

"I am hungry."

"Didn't you go out to find wild fruits just now?" Xiaohumaru sat on the bed beside him, idly wiping his own sword.

"I found wild fruits, but I only bit into two or three of them to fill my stomach, and finally I found this merman doll." Wu Tui pouted and teased the merman doll lying on the bed and playing with its tail.

Five Tigers retreated with only two hands in total, and after carrying this small-looking, actually quite heavy merman doll back, they didn't have any extra hands to hold the wild fruits they found.

The five tigers were stunned by the fact that the merman dolls appeared in the deep mountains and old forests before. Now that they have regained their senses, they want to eat, and they don't want to go out when they are about to sleep.

Tangled ah!

"..." Little Fox Ball.

Ha ha.

"Is this okay?" Akashi/Guo Xing, who was lying on his side, suddenly asked and said, watching Wu Hutui tease the shark doll.

"A mermaid should be the same as a mermaid and cannot leave the water. If you bring this mermaid doll here, will he be short of water?"

Akashi/National Bank has never seen a shark, but has seen a lot of fish.

Can fish live out of water?

"It doesn't matter, the mermaids in this world are the overlords of the sea, how can they be so delicate." Wu Hu retreated after thinking for a while, and said.

"Even if an adult mermaid stays out of the water, there will be no problem. This kind of mermaid doll only needs to soak in water once every ten days and half a month, and there is no big problem."

Strictly speaking, compared to the human cubs who are easy to die if they are not cared for when they are young, the vitality of the shark baby is very tenacious.

For example, the merman doll that Wu Hutui picked up this time, although I don't know how this little doll appeared in the temple in the deep mountains and old forests.

But Wuhu retreated looking at the traces of the grove behind the temple, speculating that the merman doll might have lived in the stream since birth, and there was no problem at all.

The shark baby has tenacious vitality and will not die easily.

But if the merman baby can grow up in the most suitable seawater, then the merman baby will be very powerful when it becomes an adult.

It is easy for mermaids to survive in nature, but it is not easy for them to survive the catastrophe of adulthood.

The mermaid clan of this world's land of ruins, after they become adults, there will be a catastrophe every 1000 years. There are nine catastrophes in total. If they pass through all of them, they will become immortals, and if they fail to pass, they will die.

This is probably the embodiment of the survival of the fittest in the mermaid clan.

It was also for this reason that the five tigers retreated to send the merman doll back to the Kingdom of Ruins.

If the mermaids were well taken care of by their clansmen when they were minors, they would become stronger when they became adults, and they would be able to survive the catastrophe a few more times.

The catastrophe of the mermaids is probably similar to the limit of a human lifespan. It is joyful to pass it to become a fairy, but it is like the law of natural death of human beings, and it is also very common.

Generally speaking, the mermaids of the Kingdom of Returning to the Ruins can survive four to five catastrophes after they reach adulthood, which is within the normal range, and failing to overcome the catastrophe is considered joy and sorrow.

But if the merman doll picked up by Wu Hutui is left alone, the merman doll can only survive one or two catastrophes when it becomes an adult, which is not within the scope of normal birth, old age, sickness and death.

——In human beings, this is called premature death.

"It's strange, the cubs of the mermen are well protected. I don't know why this little doll appears here." Wu Hutui explained, watching the little tail 'clicking' on the bed beside him. A happy shark doll.

"So, where are we going next?" Xiaohumaru shrugged indifferently, and asked directly to the point.

"Let's go find Shao'an." Wu Hu Tui blinked and said.

"I feel like he's at the beach."

"Shao'an?" Xiaohuwan recalled from his vague memory who Wu Hutui was talking about.

...Well, it seems that the one-eyed man who added firewood and fire to help Wu Hutie cook him was Shao An.

This situation is now very clear.

Because the talisman that Changzang Living Buddha put on Wu Hutui was given back to Yingwan by Wuhu last time, it is difficult for Xiaohumaru and the others to meet anyone who is related to the cultivation world, and it is also difficult to find the enchantment of the cultivation world. scope.

He couldn't go to the ghost gate or the Taoist gate. Fortunately, Wuhu Tui had made a contract with Shao'an and was able to find a ready-made slave.

but.

"Take the merman to find Shao An, the cook." Akashi/Guo Xing muttered to himself and said.

"If it's by the sea, there are probably more fish and shrimps there."

Why does it feel a little wrong to eat steamed fish or braised fish in front of the shark's tail?
