The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

Facts have proved that although Nathaniel's mermaid looks unreliable, the quality is still guaranteed. At least the wound on Derby's arm is beginning to heal day by day, which makes Lei Boding satisfied that those pearls and gold coins are not in vain. .

But that day, Ai Fu hurriedly swam over with a flustered expression, ending Lei Boding's good mood, "Ray, the patriarch wants to see you."

Lei Boding was a little puzzled, "See me? Why are you seeing me?"

Ai Fu's expression was very disturbed, "I don't know, but I heard that our trip to the forbidden area was discovered by the patriarch."

When Lei Boding heard it, his expression was a little disbelieving, "I can't, you should find out early, why are you telling me now?"

Ai Fu looked like he was about to faint, "I didn't tell you before that the patriarch is not here, he just came back yesterday."

Lei Boding still didn't believe it, "Isn't there no one who knows about our going to the forbidden area?"

"I don't know, it's logical." Ai Fu patted the ground with his tail a little irritably, "Maybe we don't know who saw it, maybe it was De—"

Ivor was interrupted by Lei Boting before he finished speaking, "It won't be Derby." Then Lei Boting got up and pulled Ivor out, "Don't think about it, you haven't decided yet, maybe it is For other things, you will know if you go there."

But sometimes, things are like this, the unlucky ones get stuck in the teeth after drinking cold water, and the more they don't want to be what they are, they will just be what they are.

Lei Boting was brought in front of the patriarch by Ivor, and when he saw the peacock green fish scale next to the patriarch's hand, Lei Boting felt a little bit in his heart.

Seeing Lei Boding's expression, the majestic patriarch Chas snorted in his heart, "Do you know what this is?"

Lei Boting glanced at the patriarch who was looking at him coldly, and decided to take the line of frankness and leniency, "I know."

The mermaid patriarch saw Lei Boding bowing his head and pretending to be honest, and snorted this time, "Then tell me what it is."

Lei Boding replied honestly, "This is my fish scale."

The patriarch who thought that Lei Boting would make jokes was taken aback by Lei Boting's confession, but his expression soon returned to normal, "Do you know where I found it?"

Lei Boding now has one thing to say and never hides it, "I know, I found it from the forbidden area."

This blunt force made Chas look at Lei Boding again, he didn't understand how he changed his sex after going out by himself, a well-known bad boy in this clan, and encountered such an obviously unfavorable thing Unexpectedly, he didn't shirk it and simply admitted, is the sea going to flow backwards or the sun going to come out from the west?

The mermaid patriarch didn't speak, and Lei Boding remained silent obediently.

After a while, Chas coughed lightly, his tone still majestic, "Very good, at least I didn't lie to cover up your mistake. You know that you are not allowed to go to the forbidden area, why did you go there?"

Lei Boding knew that the more sincere the attitude, the better, so he replied with his head down, "It's just for fun and excitement."

"Fun? Exciting?" Chas, who had lost a little bit of anger because of Lei Boding's honest attitude, became angry again. His eyes swam to Lei Boding's face, and his voice was octave higher, "Why do you The older you are, the worse your self-control ability is? Is the forbidden area a place where you can find fun and excitement? Are you too indifferent to the forbidden area or are you too indifferent to your own life?"

Lei Boding bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "I know I was wrong, I shouldn't be so impulsive, I regretted it when I came back, I'm really sorry patriarch, next time I won't be so impulsive again."

The next sentence of apology blocked Chas's words, and he felt that Lei Boding's transformation was too big, and he lowered his head to see if Lei Boting did it just to perfuse himself. He made such a gesture of self-criticism, but no matter how he looked at it, Lei Boting acted as if he couldn’t be true, sincerely admitted his mistakes, and for a while, Chas was also a little uncertain.

After watching for a while, Chas found a reason for Lei Boding's behavior. It seems that the last trip to the forbidden area frightened him, so he is so honest now. He looked at the fish scales on hand, and then glanced at Glancing at the newly added small mark of Lei Boding's injury, Chas finally stopped yelling at Lei Boting, and just said with a straight face, "You young mermaids, you will always learn a deep lesson. I know what it means to be afraid and what it means to obey the rules. Fortunately, nothing happened this time, but I will never allow it to happen next time. In order to let you deeply remember the lesson of this time, go to the confinement room to reflect and come out after seven days. "

Eh?Hearing the decision made by Chas, Lei Boting raised his head, a little confused, how did a few words turn into administrative detention?I originally thought that it would be enough to be shaved, but this is a bit different from what I expected.

But Chas misunderstood Lei Boding's expression. After all, for a mermaid who loves freedom, seven days of confinement is really a relatively heavy punishment, so he softened his tone and persuaded, "You are already an adult mermaid. Do you still want to wander around like this forever? Take this opportunity and think about your future path."

So Lei Boding was sent to the confinement room where the errant mermaid couldn't resist. During the period, he also saw Ralph and Ivor being dragged home by their respective angry fathers with sad faces. It's also an accident.

Staying alone in the quiet, dimly lit room, except for the rocks, is the confinement room on the rocks. After being dazed for a long time, he finally came to his senses. Lei Boting felt an indescribable embarrassment. Although he caused troubles in his previous life, he was still a A law-abiding citizen who never stepped on the red line of the law, how could he be sentenced to seven days of administrative detention in less than a month after arriving here?What the hell is going on!

Well, no matter how much Lei Boding wants to growl and feel unhappy, at least now he has to honestly stay in this classroom where no mermaids have patronized for a long time, reflect and think about the future, and the two mermaids guarding outside promise to During these seven days, Lei Boding will not be disturbed by anyone on his meditation journey.

People will always understand the value of possession after losing it, just like now, after only half a day, Lei Boting has deeply understood what is called "if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away".I was the only one in the huge confinement room, and I couldn't see any living things. The only thing I could see was the dusty rocks, and the mood became gloomy after seeing too much. If I didn't make it out deliberately The sound, here is always deathly silence - such an environment makes Lei Boding, who is used to freedom and excitement, almost crazy, and then thinks that this is only the first day, and there are still six tough days left. Waiting for him, he even thought about escaping from prison.

At first, in order to kill time, I started to show myself various swimming styles, such as dog crawling, freedom, butterfly stroke, breaststroke. He shouted to the two mermaids guarding the gate far away from him, but after shouting, he could only see the pair of half fish tails that were exposed and did not move. At this point, Lei Boding was completely desperate, and he I began to stretch my hands out of the stone railing as if my bones had been taken out, and stuck my head on the stone railing, looking at a certain point of nothingness, and really feeling the passage of time.

Of course it is painful to go to jail, but fortunately, the mermaid is not into the practice of abuse, and will be given prison food when the time comes—two fish. It’s a pity that he didn’t even look at Lei Boting, put down his things, turned around and left, and Lei Boting was wilted again.

Tossing and resting, tossing and resting, Lei Boding finally fell asleep in such a daze for some reason, and when he was woken up by Derby, he still couldn't recover, and almost forgot himself This is prison reform.

After waking up and looking at Derby who was holding on to the stone fence and calling him in a low voice, Lei Boding changed his expression and swam quickly to look at the place guarded by mermaids, then asked Derby nervously, "Why are you here? Isn't it forbidden to let people come to visit, if you are caught, you also want to live in or something?"

Compared to Lei Boding's tense expression, Derby's expression was much more relaxed. He waved his hand, "It's night now, and the mermaids guarding outside are gone, so they won't be found."

After Derby said this, Lei Boding noticed that the round hole guarded by the two mermaids was replaced by a stone door at some point, and the two tails disappeared.

Upon realizing this, Lei Boding breathed a sigh of relief, but then raised his eyebrows again, "That door is closed, how did you get in?"

At this time, Derby showed a smug expression on his face, and he stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction, "It sneaked in from there, thanks to my thinness, if I was a little fatter, I wouldn't be able to get in."

Seeing the little cunning and complacency in Debi's water-clear eyes, Lei Boding also laughed, "Okay, I really have you."

Seeing Lei Boding smiled, Derby also laughed, and then he didn't forget to take out the things he brought, "Have you eaten yet? I brought you fish, are you hungry?"

Unexpectedly, Derby bothered to sneak in just to deliver food for himself, Lei Boting was a little stunned.

And Derby saw Lei Boding's stupefied look a little strange, stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes, "Ray, what's wrong with you?"

After regaining his senses, Lei Boding looked at Derby's worried expression, then smiled silently and shook his head, "It's nothing." Then he turned sideways and pointed to the stone platform where things were placed, "I ate, I'm not hungry , it was sent in by the mermaids guarding me outside."

"Oh...that's it." Hearing Lei Boding said that he ate it, and that there was indeed half of the leftover fish on the stone platform, Derby nodded, but still did not take back the fish he handed over, "These you Let’s save it for food too, there is no mermaid watching over at night, what if you are hungry?”

Lei Boting looked at Derby's persistence and shook his head, "No, there is still some left over there. I didn't eat much at night. It seems that they will deliver food for three meals, so I won't be hungry. Don't worry." Then he led Derby to talk about other topics, "Speaking of which, why did you come here? You still go out at night?"

Derby looked down at his gently swaying fish tail, and whispered, "I heard that you were imprisoned in the confinement room by the patriarch. I heard that it was because you went to the forbidden area and was anxious, so the mermaids who guarded it at night He came in after leaving." At this point, Derby raised his head and looked at Lei Boting seriously, "I didn't tell you the secret, really."

Looking at the little tension in Derby's eyes that couldn't be concealed, Lei Boting smiled, stretched out his hand and stroked Derby's soft blond hair, "Of course, I know it's not you."

Lei Boding's affirmation made Derby bow his head, "Why are you so sure?"

Lei Boding laughed softly, "Because I was caught by the patriarch because the patriarch picked up the scales that fell off in the forbidden area when I was fighting with the swordfish." When Derby looked up at himself, Lei Boding Then he said, "Also, even if it wasn't because the patriarch picked up my scales that he caught me to the forbidden area, I believe you wouldn't be the one who informed me. I believe you, you wouldn't do such a thing, right?"

Facing Lei Boding's trusting gaze, Derby's heart warmed up, and he nodded vigorously, "Well, I won't."

It was obviously his side that was wrong, but he was still moved by his trust. This kind of derby made Lei Boting feel a little sour. He put his hand on Derby's shoulder, "And this matter, it was originally I made a mistake, and no matter whether someone whistleblower or not, this is the price I have to pay for my own mistakes."

I don't know why Lei Boding would bring this up again, but Derby still said seriously, "But I won't inform you."

Facing such a stubborn derby, Lei Boding was a little bit dumbfounded.
