The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

Derby didn't know how he was led by Ralph to swim into Leibertyn's house, and he didn't even feel uneasy in the face of the mermaids crowded into the room, because at this moment, Derby's entire mind was in that closed room. On the male merman with the eyes lying—the pale, scarred, lifeless male merman named Reboutine.

Ralph, who brought Derby in, saw Derby's face that also turned pale the moment his gaze touched Lei Boding, and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Derby's entry naturally attracted the attention of the mermaids in the room. Seeing this flawed female mermaid who hardly appeared in front of everyone, everyone had different expressions, but Ivor swam over after seeing Derby, and greeted with a hoarse voice. "Derby, you're here, Lei Boding, he..."

"How is Reberdin?" Derby didn't wait for Ivor to finish speaking, turned around and looked directly into Ivor's eyes and asked.

"It's serious..." Ivor said, his eyes turned red again, and he lowered his head. "There are too many wounds and too deep. You know, sharks are never kind."

"Can't the saliva of a mermaid heal wounds?" Derby asked softly.

"Rebertine's wound is too deep, really too deep..." Ai Fu replied somewhat frustrated.

After hearing this, Derby stopped talking, turned around and stared blankly at Lei Boding for a while, then turned and left without saying a word, even turning a deaf ear to Ivor's shout behind him.

Derby rushed out of Lei Boding's house and returned to his home. Without taking a breath, he rummaged through boxes and cabinets at home for a while, and then rushed to another place with a lot of things.

"Boom, boom, boom!" When he came to the dark house, Derby knocked on the dusty door with all his strength, without stopping.

"Hey hey, lighter, lighter!" Obviously, the owner of the house was very dissatisfied with Derby's way of calling the door, he opened the door angrily and waved his hands and shouted at Derby, "Could it be that the mermaids nowadays don't even have the word education?" Don't know how to write it?"

But what answered the other party was not Derby's apology, but a bunch of things that Derby brought in his arms. Before the owner of the house could react, his hands were grabbed by Derby, "These are all for you, all of them Here, please give me something that can heal my wounds, please, if these are not enough, I, I, I can continue to weave, and I will give you all the gauze I weave in the future, please heal my wounds Something!" Derby spoke in a hurry, but it was impossible to ignore the tremor in his voice.

The owner of the house looked down at the things in his arms and said, "Wow, what a nice gauze, gold coins and pearls."

Hearing the other party's answer, Derby felt relieved, but before he could show a complete smile, the other party's words made him fall into the ice cave again, "But I have nothing that can heal my wounds."

"What?" Derby's half-smile expression froze on his face, looking extremely ugly.

"That's it, I don't have anything that can heal the wound." The other party shrugged and replied nonchalantly.

"How could it not be?" Derby spoke loudly for the first time, "Obviously you switched with Lei Boting last time, how could you not?" Derby thought of a possibility, swam forward and grabbed the opponent again hand, "Are these things unsatisfactory? You don't like it? Then what do you like? You tell me, just tell me, I will get it for you anyway, so, please give me the medicine to heal the wound?"

"Oh, you also know Reboutine, well, I did give him that one, but there's only one, understand, buddy?" Looking at the emotional Derby, the owner of the house was obviously a little uncomfortable, he broke free Derby grabbed his hand and took a step back, "To be honest, I'm very interested in what you brought, but I can be a moral mermaid, and I won't cheat!"

"How can you not?" Derby roared again, and then this sentence seemed to have exhausted all his strength so that he could not help leaning against the reef, and whispered, "You don't have all the incredible things in the sea Nathaniel? How could there be no...how could..."

Nathaniel looked at the distraught Derby, curled his lips, "Although I agree with your evaluation of my collection, I really don't have any, so, leave, I don't want a weak female mermaid to be in What kind of criticism have I caused by wandering here?" After finishing speaking, regardless of Derby's reaction, he turned around and entered the house, and closed the door mercilessly, leaving only Derby leaning on the rock in a daze, looking so helpless and peaceful. despair.

The mermaids who came to visit Lei Boding left one after another. In the end, only Ralph and Ivor were left in the room. The two looked at Lei Boding, who was still unconscious, and couldn't help sighing. in one breath.

"It was fine when he came to send us the script, how did it become like this in a blink of an eye?" Ivory's tone was filled with pain, self-blame, and doubt, "Where did Ray go and why did he Encountered such misfortune?"

"I don't know either." Ralph took another look at Lei Boding, who showed no signs of waking up, and sighed again, "Perhaps, we should be thankful that those friendly dolphins saved him, otherwise, we will probably lose this man forever." friend……"

"He—" Ivor opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Derby, who appeared at the door in a daze, made him swallow what he was about to say. He swam to Derby with his eyes wide open, "Derby, what's wrong with you?"

Derby seemed unaware of Ivor's question, and just swam to Lei Boting's side, reached out and gently touched Lei Boting's face, with tears in his eyes.

Ivor looked like a different person, Derby frowned, followed up and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ralph, he waved his hand to signal Ivor not to say any more, then turned his head to look at Derby, " Can you help us take care of Rabden for a while? Ivory and I need to go home."

Derby didn't take his eyes off Lei Boding, nor did he answer Ralph's words, but just sat there in silence.

Raffle was not in a hurry, and stood quietly aside.

After a while, Derby turned his head and looked at Raph blankly as if waking up from a dream, "Well, I will take good care of him."

Such a derby made Ralph frowned slightly, but he still smiled kindly at Derby, "Okay then, Ivor and I will go first, we won't be away for too long, please."

"Yeah." Derby nodded again, then turned to face Lei Boding and stopped talking to Ralph.

Seeing this, Ralph didn't say any more, and pulled Ai Fu out of the door.

The two swam quietly for a while, and Ivor, who hadn't said a word since Raffle gestured to him, said, "Derby is like this, do you still feel relieved to teach Ray to take care of him?"

There was no expression on Ralph's face, "I think Derby needs a time alone with Ray, and Ray probably wants to be alone with Derby."

"But Derby looks lost now, can he take good care of Ray?" Ai Fu obviously didn't agree with Ralph's approach, "At first he left without saying a word, and then he took a lot of things When I came back, I couldn’t understand what he was going to do, he always looked timid, how could he help Lei?!”

"What can we do if we stay there?" Raph turned his head to look at Ai Fu, with a trace of impatience in his tone, "We have done everything we can for Lei Boding, and now all we can do is Wait, wait for him to wake up, wait for his wound to heal, what else can you do?"

Raffle's words made Ivor speechless. After a while, he slapped the ground with his tail fin violently, causing a burst of sand.

Looking at Ivor, who was irritated by the injury of his best friend, Ralph took a deep breath, "I know you didn't agree with Ray's pursuit of Derby at the beginning, you think Derby is not worthy of Ray, to be honest, I I had the same thought as you at the beginning, and even I think it’s really unworthy that Derby didn’t respond at all after Ray paid for Derby. But, today I know that Derby is not as insensitive as we thought. Why would he Such a lost soul, why is there no anger in his eyes, it's only because Lei Boting was injured, he cares more about Lei than you and I think. Lei's injury will not have less impact on him than you and me." Raff said Er held Ivor's shoulder, "Do you know why he came back with a bunch of things? I know, because he went to find Nathaniel."

"What?" Raffle's words made Ivor's eyes widen, his face full of surprise.

"Yes, he went to find Nathaniel." Raffle let go of his hand and continued to swim forward, and said slowly, "Of course, when I left without looking back, I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I followed. I watched him prowl his house for something of value, and I watched him come to the house of the eccentric Nathaniel, whom even we shunned, without hesitation. I saw him beg Nathaniel to give He can heal wounds, and I also saw the despair on his face after being rejected by Nathaniel. He is not as timid as we imagined, really, he also wants to do something for Ray."

"Ralph, I..." Ralph's words made Ivor bow his head. This time, he didn't know what to say. He didn't intend to anger Derby. In fact, he didn't have such a big opinion on Derby like Ralph. It's just that when I saw my best friend covered in scars, my mind went into a mess...

"I know, I know everything." Ralph patted Ivor on the shoulder, the look in his eyes was understanding and considerate, "We are all for Ray."

On the other side, Lei Boding's home.

Derby looked at Lei Boting with his eyes closed for a long time without saying a word, stretched out his hand to caress Lei Boting's angular face, and said softly, "So, I'm really useless."

After speaking, a tear fell on Lei Boding's body.
