Mermaid Blind Box

Woke up by the alarm clock at 8 o'clock in the morning, Qin Lin turned off the alarm clock, and saw the WeChat reply from his friend at 7:22: Mine arrived today, and I was so disturbed after seeing yours.

He replied: Unlucky, I don't know how to deal with it, hang on the platform today and have a look.

He opened the Mermaid Trading APP, and the customer service had already replied: Dear, the blind box is non-refundable.

He replied: You didn't say in your introduction that there is a chance of getting dead fish, right?

He no longer missed the quilt, got up, washed and dressed quickly, and was ready to go to work.Before going out, I went to the balcony to look at the mermaid, still maintaining the posture of last night, huddled motionless in the cage.

On the bus, the customer service replied again: Dear, we have confirmed before delivery, and we will not send you dead fish.

He replied: Not dead, but a sick fish.

The customer service responded quickly this time: What is the disease?

Qin Lin was taken aback, and replied: How do I know?

Customer service: I suggest you take it to the hospital for a checkup first. Except for common stress reactions and parasites that need to be dealt with simply by yourself, we will provide after-sales services for other diseases.

"Check..."

Qin Lin clicked on the group buying app and searched for "Mermaid Physical Examination". The price quoted by various pet hospitals basically starts at 1000, not including filming.

At this time, the bus stopped, and another group of people came up, so crowded that he could barely breathe, and his nose seemed to smell the mermaid smell from last night again.

He looked around, and saw that more than half of the people standing, sitting, crooked, and swaying with the car were elderly people, and he felt restless again: These people don't go to work, and they can go shopping for groceries sooner or later. Follow the office workers to squeeze the morning rush hour.

Around 3:[-] pm, a friend sent a short video, a juvenile fish in a water tank was kicking its legs and swimming around cheerfully, with a red dorsal fin.

He swears in the past.

My friend sent back an emoji of Crayon Shin-chan.

Around 5:[-], the wind picked up outside, and soon the mobile phone rang, which was the information of the yellow warning of strong wind pushed by the weather app.

After a while, the windows of the office were rattled, and a pink plastic bag was blown into the sky five floors away.

Qin Lin still had some work to do, so he went to the snack street near the company to buy some food for dinner. Most of the stalls were closed, and there was still a fast food restaurant open. He ordered a shrimp burger, an Orleans chicken leg, two skewers of crispy bones, A serving of mashed potatoes and a coconut-flavored fried glutinous rice cake. While waiting, I went to the barbecue shop next to it and bought roasted sweet potato skin and dried tofu.

When we got the meal, it started to rain outside, and the rain was blown into the store, the floor was wet, and the clerk closed the door and mopped the floor in a hurry.

Qin Lin went out with the food, and the raindrops hit his face like bullets, making him unable to open his eyes. He buried his head and ran to the company as fast as he could. When he reached the door, his feet slipped, his arms waved and then Kneeling on the ground in a standard posture.Several colleagues who were waiting for the bus at the door saw it, and someone seemed to be coming over: "Are you okay?"

He waved his hands, stood up, and walked into the company. His knees hurt so his posture was a bit unnatural, and his pants were wet and stuck to his knees and front of his calves.There seemed to be a colleague holding back a laugh behind him.

It's really unlucky these days, it won't be Mercury retrograde, he thought.

After working overtime, it was past 11 o'clock, and he walked out of the company with two unfinished chicken legs.It was already windy outside, and the rain was crackling, and no one took the order after waiting for 3 rounds of online car-hailing.

While waiting, he clicked on the second-hand platform again, changed his mind, and searched for keywords such as "mermaid defects" and "mermaid defective products". This time, he found what he wanted to see.

There are quite a lot of defective mermaids on the platform, some have been harmful to parasites, some have skin diseases, some have disfigured, and some have been disabled and lack arms and legs. The price ranges from 500 to 1200.

Well, there is still a market price.

Qin Lin clicked "Release Idle" and uploaded the photo he sent to his friend last night. He hesitated for a moment in the price column and entered 1100. He clicked on the photo again, thought for a while, and changed it to 980. Thinking that I bought 8000 and lost 7000 in a blink of an eye, I was very unhappy.

At this time, the phone vibrated, and a message popped up in the background showing that there was an online car-hailing order nearby.

He closed the second-hand platform, thinking to go back and have a look, maybe the mermaid is dead.

The wind was really strong tonight, and several trees were blown down on the road, and they were lying on the roadside or sidewalk in disorder. I don't know if anyone was hit.

The driver drove around a bit. There were several places where there were shortcuts but he chose a more roundabout. He felt uncomfortable, but he didn't want to offend anyone. He thought it wouldn't cost too much, so he didn't say anything. .It was 11:46 when I got home, and it cost 37 yuan, which was about 9 yuan more expensive than usual.

As soon as he opened the door, Qin Lin felt like his home had been ransacked.

Several windows in the living room and kitchen were left open, water was all over the floor, and pots and pans rolled all over the floor. He remembered that the window in the bedroom was open, so he rushed in. Sure enough, the mattress was wet, and the box on the window sill was wet. Ben's half-read "The Plague" is soaked.

After closing the window, he walked to the balcony, opened the sliding door, and the wind and rain roared towards him again, and the smell in the wind became thinner.Sure enough, several pots of flowers and plants had been smashed to pieces, soil was scattered all over the place, a few clothes to dry had disappeared, and a pair of white trousers were stuck in the cracks of the railing, fluttering in the wind, like a flag of surrender.

He turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone to take a picture, and the mermaid in the cage was still huddled in a corner, not dead, but trembling.

He snatched back his pants, dragged the cage into the bathroom, turned on the shower and rushed towards the cage, and all the black water came out, and he was a little dazed at him, and it took him a while to remember that the hot water was not turned on.

When the smell was gone, he studied the cage for a while, opened it smoothly, and reached in to pull the mermaid's arm. It felt as cold and creamy as he had imagined, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be very muscular.It took a little effort to drag it out, and it looked like a man with a different stature.

He soaped it twice from head to toe, but he couldn't find a place to start, so he picked up a toilet brush and washed it carefully. His thighs and waist were a little heavy, and there were some blood stains.Then there was the head, he grabbed it by the hair, laundered it twice more, after thinking about it, he gave up the toilet brush and found a rag to scrub.After washing, the head of a man with blond hair and European appearance emerged.

Or imports?he thinks.

There is nothing ugly about a mermaid, and of course it is a beautiful creature in terms of European and American aesthetics, but Qin Lin has never been very good at appreciating Europeans. He knows that they are beautiful and exquisite, but he doesn't like them. He prefers delicate Asian looks.

The mermaid's eyes are tightly closed, the eyelashes are very long, wet, sticking tightly under the eyes, and the mouth is also tightly closed.

Qin Lin used the handle of the brush to open the gap between its lips, and the reddish-brown liquid immediately overflowed from the corner of his mouth, dripping down his face, and the smell of blood came over his face.

"You won't bite off your tongue." He pried open the mermaid's mouth, washed off the blood stains inside, and checked. Fortunately, except for some scrapes and lacerations, the mouth was well preserved.

He cut the indistinguishable piece of cloth from its body and began to wash its back.There were many wounds on the back, many blood scabs and dirt coagulated into a ball, the infection was very serious, several wounds were badly rotten, maggots wriggled in the rotten flesh, and it took a lot of effort to cut off the rotten flesh.After a few scissors, the mermaid woke up from the pain, and began to writhe and struggle feebly, shaking like chaff, and then curled up into a ball, with its head firmly pressed against the floor, making a small whine.

"Don't be afraid, I'll clean it up for you."

"Can you understand Chinese?"

"A foreign fish must not understand."

"Be patient, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."

Just like how he usually handles stale seafood, he slammed into it, held down the mermaid who was struggling needlessly, and quickly picked out the rotten meat and disposed of it, making blood all over the floor and bleeding everywhere, but was quickly washed into it by the current. The toilet is gone.

After all the mermaids were done, they were dying and seemed to have fainted again.Qin Lin got iodophor to scrub the wound, and when it touched the spine, he opened the flesh and blood and suddenly saw a touch of blue.

He froze for a moment, then carefully opened it and looked at it. It was really blue.

"……No way?"

He squatted there for a while, then got up and stood for a while.Holding the iodophor bottle and cotton wool, he paced back and forth: "Outrageous, this is outrageous..."

It turned out to be a blue fin?
