Deep sea mermaid head-to-head strategy

After breaking up with Dick, Klein seldom went to the town again, and even when he did, he hurried back after buying the medicine his grandfather needed, and didn't stay long.

The Kingdom of Havre has recently vigorously developed its shipping business, and the port of Paloi is very lively with boats coming and going every day.

Klein still did not go out to sea with other fishing boats. Instead, he went to the pier to report every morning, helped the tavern at the pier to earn some pocket money, and listened to old sailors chatting and listening to some anecdotes at sea in his spare time.

The sailors at the pier are generous and will allow Klein to board the boat for a visit when they are in a good mood.

The tonnage of ships is much larger than that of fishing boats, and the configuration is also much more professional.

Klein fell in love with a blue and white "Watcher" at the dock at first sight, and at the price of three glasses of ale, he met a sailor named Ross on the ship, and learned a lot of sea navigation skills from him.

After spending more than a month on the pier, Klein finally couldn't bear the loneliness. He went home to discuss with his grandfather, and asked Ross to help him set up a line and join a half-month sea voyage.

This is Klein's first time leaving the Kingdom of Havre.

The ship docked at the port of a neighboring country, and Klein followed Ross to disembark to deal with purchases and sales. Walking on the streets of the neighboring country, he was dazzled by the dazzling array of exquisite food and novelty gadgets.

In the past, Klein had been circling around the small Paloi Harbor. For the first time, he knew that the sky outside was so vast. Compared with the wonderful world outside, the little setbacks he suffered from Sweet and Dick seemed insignificant.

Ross is in his 40s this year. He travels all over the world and never leaves his bottle. He has been here many times and brought Klein to the tavern on the pier for dinner after he sold out his goods.

There was a charming waitress in the tavern. When she saw Rose coming in, she greeted her and kissed Rose passionately in front of Klein. She was about to rub her whole body into Rose's arms.

Klein had never seen such a scene before, blushing and looking away.

After they made out, Rose came to a table with her arms around the waitress. The two flirted with each other while ordering. The waitress glanced at Klein and asked Rose, "Your son?"

"Of course not, the young man I met on the pier, take him out to see the world."

The waitress gave Klein a wink, and laughed when she saw Klein dodging in a panic, and said, "Do you want to find him a girl?"

Roy patted the waitress' buttocks, snorted and said, "The hair hasn't grown yet, what girl do you want? Don't tease him."

Klein was shy and embarrassed, but the waitress made him blushed and left with a satisfied smile.

It wasn't until the waitress walked away that Klein dared to pant loudly, and looked around calmly.

Although this is just a small tavern in the port, people from all over the world gathered here.

When Klein heard them talking and drinking loudly with different accents, he felt that the originally cramped world was opened up to him.

It turned out that beyond his cognition, there are so many places he has never been to, and so many people he has never seen.

Not without regret, he thought: It would be great if grandpa was here.

The fragrant thick soup was brought to the table, and the aroma of the food brought back Klein's memories.

It was the first time he left home for so long, holding a spoon, his thoughts drifted back to his small courtyard thousands of miles away——

What is grandpa doing now?

Are you having lunch too?

Grandpa has lived in Port Paloi all his life, and the farthest place he has been to is the town. Besides fishing, he does carpentry every day. He raised him, and now it is his turn to repay grandpa.

"Homesick?" Rose raised the bottle and glanced at his expression.

Klein scratched his head embarrassedly.

Rose said clearly: "There is still some time before the meeting. After dinner, you can go shopping in the town and bring some gifts back."

Klein came out of the tavern and wandered around the small towns in neighboring countries.

He used the advance salary and the money to buy pearls to buy a pair of glasses for grandpa, a kaleidoscope made in an unknown country for Dick, and a bottle of nail polish for Lisa.

Before leaving, Klein passed by a booth and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a swan brooch with a blue diamond dotted on the swan's eye.

The first time Klein saw this brooch, he thought of Sweet. He hesitated for a long time in front of the booth, gritted his teeth and bought it, and rushed to the pier to gather at Rose's urging.

As the ship sailed away from the harbour, Klein reluctantly stood at the stern and watched, a vague idea emerged in his mind——

Grandpa has lived in Port Paloi all his life. In order to raise him, he does fishing and carpentry every day. The farthest place he has been to is the town.

In the past, his dream was to buy a fishing boat of his own to go fishing, but now, he wants to have a big boat of his own, so that he can carry his grandfather, his friends, and take them to the world to see Take a look, break through.

Klein stood at the stern of the ship and watched from a distance until the harbor turned into a small black dot before returning to the cabin.

The return trip was light, and it took two days less than when it came. On the morning of No. 14, the big ship docked.

However, after leaving for half a month, Klein felt as if he had set foot on the ground of Paloy Port again.

Originally, the captain wanted to invite the sailors to have breakfast at the tavern at the port, but Klein missed his grandfather very much, and after greeting Rose, he couldn't wait to run home.

Grandpa is sawing boards in the yard. Because of his poor eyesight, he has to look closely from time to time to see if he has deviated from the line drawn with charcoal.

The grandfather in my memory had broad shoulders and strong arms, and he often supported him on the shoulders, but the old man in the yard was stooped, and his solid body collapsed.

With a sore nose, Klein yelled at the gate of the yard: "Grandpa!" He pushed open the door and walked into the yard, rushing forward and hugging his grandpa.

Grandpa was obviously very pleasantly surprised. He put down the saw and stood up. He patted him on the back and said, "How old is he? Why do you go out and come back like a little bird who can't leave home?"

Klein also felt ashamed, so he suppressed the tears that filled his eyes, rummaged through the pockets he was carrying, took out the glasses and handed them to Grandpa: "Grandpa, you can see the alignment clearly when you wear this, You don’t have to bend over all the time to check.”

Grandpa took the box containing the glasses, opened it and glanced at it with cloudy eyes, then took it back into the house as a baby.

Klein followed into the room blankly and asked, "Grandpa, don't you use it now?"

Grandpa put the box into the cabinet and said: "This little work is not needed yet, so put it away first, so as not to damage it."

Klein didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Grandpa, I bought these glasses for you. If they break, I can buy them again." As he said that, he wanted to take the box back.

"Go! Go! I'll take it out when I need it."

Grandpa pushed Klein with both hands, and threw him out without any refusal, and went to the kitchen to cook.

Klein left home for half a month, and what he craved most was the fish soup made by his grandfather. The moment the delicious fish soup slipped down his throat, the feeling of being bumpy and helpless at sea was instantly emptied.

The scene in the big house flashed before his eyes, and Klein thought: If they don't like it, they won't like it. I just like the fish soup made by grandpa.

While eating breakfast, Klein told him vividly what he had seen and heard along the way from beginning to end. Grandpa kept nodding while listening.

"By the way," when breakfast was almost finished, Grandpa suddenly mentioned, "Dick came to see you the second day after you left, and the day before yesterday to ask if you came back. You grew up together, don't worry about trivial matters. Quarrel and conflict."

Klein didn't tell his grandpa about his falling out with Dick, but he used to be inseparable from Dick, and even if he didn't mention it, grandpa would be able to detect it.

The cloth bag containing the kaleidoscope was hung on the back of the chair. Klein nodded and said, "I'll go find him after dinner."

After breakfast, Klein helped his grandfather tidy up the yard and sawed a few boards. He didn't pick up his cloth bag and get up until noon when the fishing boats returned to the port with the sound of humming from the port.

When I arrived at the port, I happened to see Dick wading back to the shore. Sand got into his shoes. Dick took off his shoes and shook them. When he looked up, he saw Klein standing on the shore.

Klein and Dick quarreled a lot when they were young, and they would fight if they disagreed, but they never kept an overnight grudge. After they grew up, they even quarreled less, and it was the first time the cold war lasted so long.

The two stood more than 20 meters apart for a while, neither of them spoke.

Klein took out the kaleidoscope from his cloth bag and waved it at Dick. Dick pouted, turned his eyes left and right, kicked the sand, ran over quickly, grabbed Klein's neck and pressed it down.

"You've lost your temper, learn to leave without saying goodbye!" Dick said awkwardly.

Klein retorted: "Who made you and I feel weird?"

"I'm that..." Dick stopped abruptly when he said this, and he didn't want to mention it any more. He snorted and said, "I'm too lazy to care about you. Do whatever you like."

After speaking, he snatched the kaleidoscope from Klein's hand, held it up for a few glances, and said, "Come to my house for lunch, and I'll ask the cook to make your favorite spicy squid slices."

The two of you pushed me, I kicked you, and they fought and walked towards Dick's house.

The cold war that lasted for more than a month ended in this way.

Klein spent a few hours at Dick's house. After lunch, he gave Dick the nail polish for Lisa, and asked him to take it to Lisa when he went to town. way back.

When he was about to get home, Klein found a ball net set up on the beach in front of him. When he approached the yard, he saw a red-haired boy chatting with his grandfather in the yard.

Klein was taken aback, and hurried over.

Wenger turned his head when he heard footsteps, got up and greeted Klein warmly: "Klein, you are finally back."

"You..." Klein didn't understand the situation in front of him.

Wenger smiled and said, "As soon as I heard that you were coming back, I hurried over here. Today is Sweet's birthday. We are going to hold a birthday party for him. Do you want to come?"
