There's a mermaid in my bathtub

"Is there?"

"Have."

Sometimes, Jin Sheng really hated Nanli's "straightforwardness". This aquatic animal is different from the terrestrial animal. Once he was questioned, he would immediately admit it, without giving him time to prepare mentally.

Even if there is no specific evidence, or even a casual sentence that is not suspected, it is incredible that this guy surrendered easily.

"...Then, what did you hide from me?"

Trembling with anger, Jin Sheng had just had a full stomach, and Jin Sheng had enough strength to settle accounts.

It took a long time to find his voice and speak again. Nanli's hand was still around his waist. This was the first time he repelled Nanli from having physical contact with him.

How can there be a liar who is confident enough to admit it after being exposed?

"Is there... an unspeakable secret?"

Looking at it with deep blue eyes, Nanli didn't hesitate at all, and immediately responded as soon as he finished speaking: "No, I don't want to say it."

It's not that I can't say it, I can't say it, I just don't want to say it.

It sounds like Nanli has no "reason" for Jin Sheng to forgive him.Still, what reason is needed for cheating?

Immediately pushing away the mermaid's hand, Jin Sheng sat to the other side, keeping a distance from him.The fish scales hanging on the chest swayed and swayed inappropriately, declaring a sense of existence, but was torn off by Jin Sheng, who had always cherished it, and held it tightly in his hand.

So what is he lying about?And why let yourself believe it unconditionally?

"Why do you take it for granted every time? What did I do to meet you."

With a sneer, he stretched out his hand to hold the thick wooden stick at his wrist, and held it up to burn on the bonfire.In fact, even if Nanli argues a few words now, even if he can't give a proper reason, it can calm Jin Sheng down.

"I'm just selfish. I won't sacrifice my life for a strange mermaid, no matter if he is silver-scaled, blue-scaled or red-scaled, no matter what he has to do with you. The heart is my own, and he will only jump when I want it to dance. Whoever I want to give it to, I have the final say, do you know that!"

"Why did you break into the private house and go into my bathtub? Why do you interfere with my life? Why... trick me here?"

He still doesn't know Nanli well enough.Mermaids reveal too little, humans are too unfamiliar, and the unknown always creates fear.

I couldn't control my voice, let alone my emotions, I brewed it intermittently and held it back for too long, and once I vented it, my voice became hoarse and exhausted.

"Don't touch me!" Refusing Nanli to approach, she stood up and looked down at the nasty mermaid.

At this time, the wooden stick was completely ignited and turned into a torch. Jin Sheng held it in his hand, and stretched the torch forward while retreating in self-defense, warning the fearless mermaid with the high-temperature burning flame.

"I don't want to give you my heart."

Nanli still had an ice-berg face that hadn't changed for thousands of years. Jin Sheng couldn't read any emotions in him, and felt that the harmonious relationship before was all an illusion.

Eye sockets were sore, the hand holding the torch trembled slightly, and reluctantly threw the fish scale necklace held in the other hand into the burning fire.

Regarding this, "his" mermaid only glanced indifferently, then propped his hands on the sand, climbed towards him with his fish tail, and said lightly: "Jin Sheng."

"do not come!"

This is on land, if he escapes with all his strength, the mermaid will definitely not be able to catch up, not to mention that he has a high temperature torch that cold-blooded animals are afraid of, which can be called double insurance.

The first time he ran away was due to inexperience, but now he has the advantage of the right time and place, even if the island behind him is unfamiliar, it is better than staying beside the mermaid who keeps hurting him and "waiting to die".

While threatening, while retreating, the "disadvantaged" mermaid pressed on every step of the way, insisting that Jin Sheng would not seriously injure him with fire, and confidently looked for an opportunity to bring him back.

"Don't come here." I once poured boiling water on a mermaid, and I knew how the heat would hurt the guy. Jin Sheng held a torch in his hand and couldn't bear the heat coming out. If this thing was really thrown on Nanli, the consequences would be terrible.

But... once he picked it up, he couldn't put it down, and that guy's eyes were terrifying and he followed him closely, as if he would be thrown down by Nanli as soon as he looked away, dragged into the bone-piercing deep sea again, and imprisoned until his heart was dug out.

Such a good escape opportunity, once lost, will not come back.

Jin Sheng took a deep breath, made up his mind, and after repeated threats failed, he threw the torch in Nanli's direction cruelly.

There was a delay in the movement, and the throwing direction was deliberately exposed. Jin Sheng thought he had given the guy enough time to dodge, but he didn't expect that Nanli would remain motionless, and was smashed to the body by the burning torch, and accepted all his "execution" frankly. ".

"...Nanli..."

Watching the torch fall, the red flame slammed into the skin of the mermaid, quickly sucked up the water vapor on it, and then fell heavily to the beach, emitting a puff of black smoke.

The mermaid with a high self-esteem was burned by high temperature, and the blue "vine patterns" bloomed under the skin of the impact soon, and the healing power was so powerful that it did not appear for a long time. The blue under Nanli's skin became deeper and deeper, and the whole fish changed. color.

Boiled water less than [-] degrees Celsius can make it unconscious, and flames not lower than [-] degrees Celsius, wouldn't it... also damage the mermaid's self-healing ability?

From a distance, I saw Nanli's chest rising and falling rapidly, and soon he was lying on the beach near the sea, unable to move any more, with only one pair of eyes still firmly open, staring at Jin Sheng unwillingly.

……

He didn't want to really hurt him, never did.

Seeing Nanli lying on the beach without moving, Jin Sheng took a step forward, subconsciously wanting to return to him, but paused cruelly, turned around with clenched fists, and strode away from the beach.

——If Nanli really wanted to use his heart to save the silver-tailed mermaid, then this might be his last chance to escape.

The spun yarn does not grind the feet, but the wet jungle soil is full of sharp stones.

Since the evolution of human beings, the skin and flesh all over the body are used to being delicate, and the soles of the feet are thin with few calluses, which cannot adapt to the harsh outdoor environment at all.

While running, pay attention to the road conditions and try to avoid getting hurt again.

He didn't stop until his breathing became short of breath. After a life-threatening robe, he had completely entered the jungle.Compared with the dazzling sun on the beach, it is shaded by trees, which is much cooler.

Turning back slowly, looking at the coast that disappeared at the end, I don't know if Nanli has regained his ability to move and returned to the sea. He still misses him, but the sound of insects is everywhere, covering the sound of the distant waves.

Panting endlessly, he leaned against the thick trees and slid down slowly, but his mind was full of Nanli's painful struggle.

With difficulty, he waved the picture away, took another step, and picked up a thick tree trunk with a sharp end as a self-defense weapon.

The sea water here can breed mermaids and raise giant sea monsters, so it is only natural that there are strange things in this strange jungle.

Before entering, Jin Sheng was ready to die, and also accepted the ideological work of wandering in this life.

Unexpectedly, completely different from the "dangerous" in the imagination, Jin Sheng did not encounter any beasts and poisons, and wandered around safely for a long time.

This small island also does not belong to the same world as him, and he did not find any familiar or heard of species along the way. The plants are similar and slightly different, and he can’t remember them roughly, but the “animals” encountered by chance are too unreasonable—how can there be three? cat with tail?

There was a climbing sound from the tall tree. Jin Sheng covered himself and raised his head. He saw a group of monkey-like little fellows swinging the tree trunks and chattering past. His eyes followed the past. Suddenly something fell from the top of his head. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and immediately received a furry. group.

The little guy must have lost his mind before falling off the tree.

There is a small ball of hair in his hand, the light brown hair is fluffy and soft, the limbs are long and slender, the ears stand on the top of the head, and the ends seem to be stained with black ink, smudged downward from the ear tip.

I can't find a suitable name to describe it. Looking at the dumpling that can be held in both hands, I can't say the word cute.

Because this guy only has one eye, and it is covered with purple bloodshot eyes, which is more terrifying than a cat with three tails.

The seabed of this world is occupied by mermaids, and the island temporarily called "land" is occupied by a group of one-eyed monkeys. It's really... miraculous.

Thinking in this way, he happened to meet the gaze of Tuanzi in his hand, and the only eye looked at him, and then, he immediately opened his mouth and bit his thumb.

It didn't hurt, but it made Jin Sheng frown. After all, he had the "life-saving grace" for this little guy.

It was probably self-defense and temptation. The difference in size was too big, so he was caught in his hands like this. The little guy thought he was going to be attacked.

After giving some with his fingers, Jin Sheng put it on the trunk behind him, protecting it with both hands to prevent the little monkey from falling down again. It didn’t take long for the group of monkeys occupying the top of his head to go away. can catch up.

Clinging to the bark with its claws, the only eye stared at Jin Sheng suspiciously for a while, and after confirming that this person was indeed not hostile to it, he tilted his head and continued to climb, and disappeared under the cover of layers of leaves in a blink of an eye.

Looking up to see it leave, I always feel that I haven't touched something dry and soft for a long time.The palm still has the soft touch of the little guy's fur, which makes him miss the original ordinary life.

……

There didn't seem to be any powerful aggressive species on the island. The group of monkeys passing by just now could basically be called the owner of the island because of their numbers.If you have been trapped here in the future, it seems that you won't have a hard time living.

It was noon when we went out to sea, and took advantage of the dawn to visit most of the islands. Jin Sheng found that only the place where Nanli settled down had a beach leading to the sea, and the rest of the sea facing the sea were all steep rock walls.

I picked two fruits from the vine, one of which has light tooth marks, it should not be poisonous, and it tastes like apples.But Jin Sheng was not lucky, the two he picked were not too ripe, and the sweetness was astringent.

"Traveling" around, the biggest gain is to find drinkable fresh water.There was no memory when he was in a coma, and Jin Sheng didn't know that Nanli used to feed him mouth-to-mouth in an ambiguous way, thinking that he possessed the magical skills of a camel.

Holding the water in both hands, I drank it for a long time. It was sweet and refreshing in the mouth. After I was full, I washed my face and felt refreshed.

……

The courage is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no fear in going to a strange island alone.

When the night comes, the ground is very humid. Use rattan to climb to a tree trunk that can support your own weight, and then use fine rattan to tie your legs firmly to avoid falling from a high altitude after falling asleep and accidental death.

This is the first time Jin Sheng has fallen asleep naturally since he crossed. Although he has to pay attention to the wind and grass, and his sleep is extremely light, he is very at ease, because there is no mermaid on the shore who wants to steal his heart.

……

[-]. The night passed quickly, and I was awakened by the coolness of the dew dripping on the green leaves.The morning and noon in this world are as hot as noon, leaving the shade of the trees, the exposed skin is burned by the sun.

According to my memory, I went back to the vine where I picked the fruit yesterday. This time, I carefully observed the maturity of each fruit, and found the fullest one. Just as I was about to pick it, my arms fluttered into a ball of hair——again The one-eyed monkey.

These little guys look the same, and Jin Sheng doesn't have the ability to tell them apart at a glance, but the one squatting on his arm, with a face like "I know you very well", snatched him away under Jin Sheng's nose. fruit.

"Hey!"

I didn't catch it, but pulled off many leaves from the vine.

Kindness will be revenged, both of them.

The little guy held the fruit, squeaked and ran happily, and Jin Sheng chased after him like a hungry tiger, "Stop!"

Obedient is not a monkey.

Following closely all the way, and the screaming all around became louder and louder, Jin Sheng realized that he was led to the monkey group's activity place by the hair ball, but the monkey group running around on the tree and on the ground ignored him, a stranger. , concentrating on making noise, beating something with stones and fruit cores.

Panting heavily with his hips on his hips, Jin Sheng slowed down his steps and searched for a favorable spot to ease his breathing. He found that the one surrounded by one-eyed monkeys was actually a naked young man.

——Is this... also a sacrifice of the mermaid clan?

Unexpectedly seeing his companion here, Jin Sheng's heart fluttered, but he saw that the man was extremely weak and had no strength or intention to fight against the monkey group. No matter how provocative they were, he ignored them, and only put his hands on the ground and moved forward very slowly. crawl.

His complexion was serious, the number of monkeys was too huge, Jin Sheng didn't know how to rescue the man, but suddenly found that his bloody hand was tightly clutching a familiar red rope with two scorched fish scales on it.
