The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

"Hey, buddy, how's Derby going?" Ivor, Lei Boding and Ralph were wandering in the sea, he wagged his tail and turned to ask Lei Boding beside him.

"Brother," Lei Boding obviously looked helpless, "don't ask me the same question every day, okay?"

"I'm just curious." Ai Fu's expression was innocent, "Seeing that you had such a big battle when you pursued Dean, but now there is no sound at all, it makes me doubt that you told me before that you like Derby and want to pursue him. Is this real or is it something I dreamed about when I was dreaming."

Lei Boding waved his hand, "Derby and Dean are two completely different female mermaids. Besides, I now feel that liking is their own thing. Why make it known to everyone? It's like acting."

"Acting? What is that?" Ralph asked after hearing a new word.

"Well, acting is those people on land, they come up with stories and then they play the characters in the stories and act them out." Lei Boding explained casually.

"Oh, that sounds interesting." Ralph seemed very interested, but he was not interested in why Lei Boting knew something he didn't know, because Lei Boting has always been a person who likes to wander around, It’s not a big deal where I heard such a fresh thing, I just asked, “Then we mermaids can also act?”

"Of course, this kind of thing doesn't stipulate who can act and who can't." Lei Boding nodded, and then said casually, "You can act if you want."

"Hmm..." Ralph nodded with his chin resting on his fingers, "You have a pretty good idea."

"Are you serious?" Lei Boding was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Raph would be really interested in this.

"Why not?" Ralph gave Lei Boding a strange look, "Sometimes I think it's quite boring, your acting sounds very interesting, isn't it very interesting to play a character completely different from yourself? "

"Of course." Reberdin remembered that he was also arrested to rehearse a play when he was in college, and it felt really good to get involved, so he nodded and echoed, "I think it's good too, so have you thought about acting any stories? ?”

"How about... How about acting the story of the sea god?" Ivor was gradually attracted by the conversation between the two, and suggested.

"Sea God? What's the story of Sea God?" Lei Boding asked.

"Oh, get rid of it, buddy, don't you even know the story of the sea god? If the patriarch finds out, you will be punished!" Ivor's eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible.

"Hey, brother." Lei Boting smiled and stepped forward to put Ivor's shoulders, "You know, I have amnesia, it's understandable if I don't know, right?"

Obviously Lei Boting was just explaining to himself, but Ivor always felt that Lei Boting’s smile was creepy, he shivered and waved his hand, “Of course, of course, I know, you don’t remember anything, I know .” After finishing speaking, he dragged Lei Boding to retell the story of Sea God to him.

Lei Boding raised his eyebrows after listening to it. Why is the routine of this story so familiar?Such a tall and complete image of the sea god and his little wisdom stories can be applied to the things that Lei Boding heard in his childhood, as far away as Emperor Qin, Han, Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu, and as close as Zhou Xiang, the great ancestor of this dynasty.It seems that, for the matter of praising such a great figure, the consistency among them transcends geographical time and even space.

Ivor spoke very carefully, and Ralph was obviously aroused, and bumped into Lei Boding, "Hey, what do you think of making this into a play?"

"Not bad, not bad." Lei Boting neither agreed nor objected, "But who will play such a noble and sacred role?"

"This..." At this time, Ralph and Ivor discovered the problem.

Yeah, who's going to play such a sacred role?All the mermaids respect and worship the Sea God. Who would dare to say that they are like the Sea God?That is simply a blasphemy against the Sea God!

Seeing Raph's somewhat discouraged look, Lei Boding stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and pulled him to continue swimming, "However, instead of playing the story of Poseidon, we can act something else."

"What to play?" Raph's frustrated mood came back to life because of Lei Boding's words.

"Hmm...for example, Son of the Sea, Hamlet, there are many of them." Lei Boding casually cited a few examples.

"Son of the sea? This sounds good, what story is it about?" Ralph became interested in the first story.

Seeing Ivor's expression of interest, Lei Boding began to talk, "That is to say, there was a mermaid who lived in the sea from the beginning...Balaba, so and so..." In the end, Lei Boting Bertin used the universal ending of the fairy tale, "In the end, they lived happily together."

What Lei Boding talked about is a modified version, from the daughter of the sea to the son of the sea, the prince still fell in love with others, but the mermaid boy did not become a bubble, because a general fell in love with him, and for him Scattered all the money to find a capable man and stranger so that the boy can speak again - this modification is not because of how girlish Lei Boting is, but because of Raffle, who has always grown up innocently and has never encountered intrigues. As far as Ivor is concerned, there is really no need to tell them such a tragic story, which will only aggravate their hostility to human beings, it is better to be innocent.

Such a bloody and tortuous story obviously attracted Ralph and Ivor, who have no other great joy in life except fishing and singing. In addition, Lei Boting himself is quite eloquent, so the two mermaids listened very carefully. Fascinated, Ralph wagged his tail and said after a while after the end, "This is really a beautiful story."

"Yeah, it's really touching that the general is willing to make such a big sacrifice for the mermaid." Ivor also added, thinking about it, he added, "But I think that prince is too annoying. "

"He didn't know that the mermaid was the one who saved him." Lei Boting smiled, "Then do you think this story will be interesting to act out?"

"Of course." Ivor nodded without hesitation, "I can guarantee that other mermaids will also like it!"

"Yes!" Ralph, who has always been more rational than Ivory, also cheered up, "We can find a few more mermaids to play together. It's interesting and can pass the time. What do you think?"

It’s rare for my friend to be interested in something. Of course, Lei Boding unconditionally agrees, “Of course, I can provide help in detailing the storyline.”

With something he wanted to do, Raph stopped dragging Lei Boding and Ivor around, and turned around to swim towards the mermaid's residence while discussing the script with Lei Boting.

Although Lei Boting is not from a professional background, as a modern person who once lived in the era of information explosion, it is no problem to use the experience gained from watching dramas, movies and TV to deal with Ralph.

"Of course you have to choose a suitable mermaid to play different roles. You also need to find a mermaid that matches him. For example, a general is very powerful. You can't find a thin mermaid to play, right? Right?" Lei Boding babbled and poured his half bucket of water towards Ralph.

"Well, you're right, you really need to think about the role." Ralph listened carefully.

Although Ai Fu on the side is also very interested in this matter, he feels that he has no constructive opinions, so he just listens to the discussion between the two of them honestly. Because of this, when danger comes, Ai Fu The first one came to his senses and pulled Leiberdine and Ralph over, "Hey, be careful!"

The two people who were still talking were almost bumped into each other by Aifu, and before they had time to ask what was going on, Lei Boding caught a glimpse of a black shadow swimming towards himself and Ralph, and immediately pulled Raff Er pushed it out hard and swam quickly to the other side, shouting as he swam, "Scatter, don't get together!"

Not daring to slack off at all and swam for a long distance, Lei Boding gradually began to feel that his stamina was lacking. He deliberately swam a Z-shaped route, and then found that the big fish was chasing after him in despair. If he dared to slow down a bit, Lei Boding was sure that the sharp teeth of the big fish could bite off a large part of his own tail.

However, Lei Boding, who is familiar with the limits of his body, also understands that it is not an option to let the fish chase him all the time. When he loses his swimming strength, he will still become the fish's lunch, and he must not go on like this.

Usually in an emergency, people's brains are particularly sharp, and Lei Boding is no exception. When he left the things he took when he left the house, he made a decision.

Swim vigorously for a while, and then swim a Z-shaped route. Lei Boding used this method to deal with the big fish, in order to find the right opening and then send the big fish to see the sea god.

Don't think that fish have no brains. In fact, they are also very smart. The big fish saw through Lei Boting's attempt, and it began to change its pursuit strategy. Ting was almost bitten by it.

"Damn it, I don't kill it if this goes on, I'm going to see Hades first!" Lei Boding couldn't help but swear in his heart when he avoided the sharp teeth of the big fish again.

Lei Boding also wanted to poke the opponent with the tool in his hand to chill him, but the opponent was a fish, not a person, so the chances of rushing to deal with it directly were not as high as the chances of being bitten to death by it immediately.

Lei Boding, who was slowly feeling the loss of physical strength, became anxious when he saw the big fish chasing after him.

"Hey, buddy, what are you doing, I'm still here! Look at me, stop chasing him!" Just when Lei Boding was about to despair, a voice suddenly came from his ear, which was enough to Lei Boding felt relieved.

With a muffled sound coming from behind, Lei Boting found out from the corner of his eye that the big fish had abandoned him and turned to swim to another place.

Lei Boting turned his head and found that it was swimming in the direction of Ivor, and Ralph took the opportunity to swim to Lei Boting's side, "Ray, are you okay?"

Lei Boding bared his teeth at Ralph, "It's okay, why are you here?"

"You are still here, how could we abandon you and go away." Ralph said it was a matter of course.

Lei Boding knew how dangerous the situation is now, so he was grateful for the choice of Ralph and Ivor. After watching for a while Ivor used the unique flexibility of the mermaid to entangle with the big fish, Lei Boting said, "This won't work, we have to make a quick decision." After speaking, he looked at Ralph, "Listen, I have an idea, but I need your help."

"Well, tell me." Raffle didn't ask much, just nodded.

Lei Boding talked like this for a while, and then asked, "Do you understand?"

But obviously, Lei Boding's idea made Ralph hesitate, "Is this... Ray, is it too risky?"

"There's no time to think about it." Lei Boding waved his hand, "It looks like that fish won't leave until it's full from us, and we'll definitely pay a heavy price if we continue to consume it like this. So, don't hesitate, Trust me. Ivor won't last long."

Ralph turned his head and glanced at Ai Fu, whose expression was not so relaxed, and finally made up his mind, "Okay."

Lei Boding got Ralph's nod in agreement, showed a smile, patted his shoulder and swam in one direction, while Ralph also gritted his teeth and swam towards the big fish.
