The four people downstairs had long been hopeless, and they didn't even have the mood to open the takeaway that arrived, so they just sat on the sofa eagerly.Seeing Mo Bai and Xia Qingfeng coming down the stairs one after another, they got up and surrounded them.

"What's the matter, what's the matter? Why did it ring again just now?"

Mo Bai looked at the four expectant and somewhat panicked faces in front of him, and sighed lightly: "This is it." He stretched out his hand and handed the thing out.

It is a koi ornament with glass and gold inlaid. It is so lifelike that it can be mistaken for the real one.When the light shines, it refracts colorful rays of light, as if it is alive and moving, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance.

Lu Weisheng let out a "huh", took the koi in disbelief, and looked up and down: "When did this thing exist?"

The other three breathed a sigh of relief as if letting go of a boulder in their hearts.Xiao Changge said: "So it was a false alarm."

Yan Shuang said: "This thing looks so real, at first glance I thought it was a live fish."

"That's right, it's all because of Lao Lu's surprise, which made us think something strange happened."

After Mu Zichen finished speaking, Lu Weisheng punched him.

"But I don't remember having this in our family." Lu Weisheng still felt a little strange, "My grandfather never gave me this."

"Maybe it belongs to your father." Xia Qingfeng explained, "When we went up just now, we found that a cabinet was a little crooked, and the door was not closed tightly, so the things inside would fall out."

He and Mo Bai looked at each other, and continued to talk nonsense in a serious manner: "Another inkstone fell out halfway, and almost smashed us, but thanks to its strength, it didn't break. Why, didn't you hear the noise just now?"

"I heard it." Mu Zichen said, "I just asked Xiaobai why there was such a loud noise."

"Since the matter has been clarified—" Xia Qingfeng glanced at the clock, "Mo Bai and I will go back first, there are still some things to deal with."

"I send you?"

"No need." Xia Qingfeng followed Mo Bai out, turned around and licked the corners of his mouth at Mu Zichen, "You are busy, goodbye."

"Ah." Mu Zichen put down the coat in his hand as he said, and his eyes were still fixed on Xia Qingfeng's figure going out, unable to put it back.

Both Xiao Changge and Yan Shuang felt that he was a little strange, and slapped him: "What are you doing? Look after the doors are closed, hurry up, I'm starving to death."

Lu Weisheng seemed to understand something, but he just smiled and told Mu Zichen to eat supper quickly.

------

Mo Bai and Xia Qingfeng took the little mermaid back to their residence.Mermaid Mermaid, after all, is a fish, tied for a long time without touching the water, when it was released, it almost turned into a dead fish.It wasn't until Xia Qingfeng filled a glass jar with water and threw her in that she spit out a few strings of bubbles to indicate that she was alive.

Seeing the little mermaid flicking its tail happily in the tank, Xia Qingfeng asked Mo Bai: "Hey, what are you going to do with this evil?"

Mo Bai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the keel flute he had taken temporarily by the moonlight, looking at the pale light reflected from the bone surface.Hearing Xia Qingfeng's questioning, he tilted his head and said, "Isn't interrogation your strong point?"

"Don't you think I have a bad taste?" Xia Qingfeng retorted, then sat lazily on the sofa, and flicked the glass jar with a "ding".

The mermaid spits bubbles at him: "What are you doing!"

"I ask you, why did you steal the keel flute?"

"Hmph, I won't tell you!" The mermaid rolled her eyes.She glanced at the bone flute in Mo Bai's hand, and said, "You're still talking about me, I don't know who stole it now."

As soon as she finished her eccentric words, Mo Bai turned his head and glanced at her expressionlessly.The little mermaid shrank back spinelessly, her rainbow tail curled up.

Xia Qingfeng naturally knew the power of Mo Bai's human bomb in the eyes of these low-level spirits, so he ruthlessly laughed at the little mermaid: "Are you afraid of him?"

"I, I'm not afraid!"

"Why are you trembling if you're not afraid of him?"

Facing Xia Qingfeng's debunking, the mermaid said that he did not understand what you were talking about.

"Actually, my patience is considered good." Xia Qingfeng sighed and leaned back on the sofa, clasping his hands on the crossed legs. "But he doesn't have that much patience." He pointed to Mo Bai, and said, "If you don't want to say it, he might just slap—" Even if the mermaid is just a fish now, Xia Qingfeng can see Seeing the panic on her face, "He doesn't even need to slap you, just move your fingers and you have to explain here."

"Yes, I don't believe it! Ming Xi, brother Ming Xi is very powerful! If you kill me, he will avenge me!"

"Then do you think your elder brother Ming Xi can beat him?" Xia Qingfeng smiled and shook his head, "Silly boy, don't say that Ming Xi is not his opponent at all, even if he can beat him, you think we are his now Ally, will he still care about you, a dragging carp spirit?"

"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense!"

"Why am I talking nonsense?" Xia Qingfeng continued, "Aren't you an oil bottle? Not only an oil bottle, but also a bad boy who steals things. Unless Ming Xi asked you to steal this bone flute , otherwise when he knows that you have discredited him, do you think he will be disappointed in you and never like you again?"

"You're talking nonsense!" The little mermaid was stimulated by Xia Qingfeng, and couldn't help crying: "You're talking nonsense... woooo... Brother Ming Xi, I want Brother Ming Xi..."

Seeing that the little mermaid was made to cry, both Mo Bai and Xia Qingfeng saw a flash of helplessness on each other's faces.Xia Qingfeng knocked on the glass jar twice again, "Isn't your mouth so powerful, why are you crying? It's as if I bullied you too much."

Mo Bai: ...you haven't bullied enough?He walked past the window and sat silently on the sofa watching the crying rainbow fish and the growing pearls in the glass tank.

"You bully me... woo...you bully me..." The little mermaid splashed in the tank while crying, splashing water all over the tea table, "Bad guy! Woo woo... Bad guy!"

"Okay, okay, I won't ask, okay? Don't cry, don't cry."

No matter what Ren Xia Qingfeng said or tried to persuade, the mermaid's tears couldn't be stopped when it opened the gate, crying so hard that the sky and the earth changed, without pauses or panting.Fortunately, Xia Qingfeng's house was affixed with spells and amulets, so nothing inside could be heard, otherwise they would have reason to believe that the neighbors would have called the police for child abuse.

Later, it was Mo Bai who saw that there were so many pearls in the jar that it was almost full of water, so he snorted coldly: "Enough!"

The little mermaid's crying stopped abruptly.

Facing Mo Bai's cold face, Xia Qingfeng was also a little apprehensive.He coughed and rubbed his ears, "If you don't listen to me, I have to scold you."

The little mermaid snorted and turned her head away.After that, no matter how much Xia Qingfeng threatened or lured her, she refused to make any more noise.

The sky turned white, and Xia Qingfeng stood beside the window with Mo Bai melancholy, blowing the wind: "I'm lost, why don't I kill myself."

The little mermaid didn't know that someone had already planned to eat her, so she happily burrowed around in the pile of pearls she cried out.Mo Bai glanced at her, and replied Xia Qingfeng: "As you wish."

The corner of Xia Qingfeng's mouth slanted: "Will you help me carry Ming Xi back?"

"No help."

"Oh."

Xia Qingfeng sighed, and looked at the sky: "I'll go back to the heaven when it's dawn, this fish..."

"You bring it."

"...Are you serious?" Xia Qingfeng said with an indifferent face, "I'll bring a goblin back to the heavens and let her leap over the dragon gate and ascend?"

"It's all about going to heaven, you can't fly up."

Xia Qingfeng looked at Mo Bai's expression: "...The ridicule is a bit too much." Although the heavens are declining now compared to ten thousand years ago, it is still the heavens, the gods, and anyone can go there ?

He glanced at the rainbow fish in the glass tank again, gave a "tsk", and read: "Why hasn't Ming Xi come back..."

As soon as Ming Xi was mentioned, there were two "dong dong" sounds outside the door: "Xia Qingfeng, are you there?"

"It's Ming Xi."

Xia Qingfeng seemed to understand how Lu Weisheng and the others felt when they saw Mo Bai and him.He went to open the door and saw Ming Xi and the black cat around his shoulders: "You are back. Come in."

"I'm sorry, I went home again after arriving at the bottom of the sea, and I was delayed for a while." After Ming Xi entered the house, the black cat jumped off his shoulder, and ran to Mo Bai's feet. "I went to Mo Bai's place first, and Miaomiao said that he hasn't returned yet, so I thought he might be here with you."

Mo Bai also came over, and Ming Xi sat down on the sofa, and said to Mo Bai: "Xiao Qi is still sleeping soundly, and I added a little more time when I went out, so I let Miao Miao follow, don't worry."

Seeing a glass jar on the coffee table, with a thick layer of pearls on the bottom of the jar, Ming Xi asked them puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Mo Bai's eyes moved, but he didn't speak.

"You came just in time." Xia Qingfeng took water for Ming Xi, sat down on the coffee table with long hands and long legs, raised his hand and knocked on the glass jar with "ding ding ding ding": "Come out, don't hide."

The cat demon jumped onto the tea table, reached the edge of the vat with his nose and sniffed: "The smell is a little familiar."

Probably because Xia Qingfeng knocked too much, the little mermaid finally got out of the pearl unbearably: "Stop knocking!"

"Ah, it's dried fish!"

"Ni'er, why are you here?"

Only then did Mo Bai and Xia Qingfeng realize that this mermaid still had a name.She glanced at Ming Xi timidly, and called out in a low voice, "Brother Ming Xi..."

"I was clamoring to see Brother Ming Xi before, but now that I see you, if you have anything to complain from the bottom of your heart, hurry up." Xia Qingfeng teased her.

The little mermaid glared at Xia Qingfeng angrily, spit bubbles and said nothing.

Ming Xi didn't understand the reason for Xia Qingfeng's confrontation with the mermaid. He looked at Mo Bai suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong? Did Ni'er cause you trouble?"

Miao Miao also arched Mo Bai's ankle, and said happily: "She is the dried fish I am looking for! Dry dried fish!"

The cat demon was talking about Xiaoyugan, and people and fish other than Ming Xi naturally understood what it was talking about.Mo Bai frowned, and said, "She went to steal the keel."

Hearing this, Ming Xi scolded loudly: "Ni'er!"

The little mermaid hid herself again in the pearl.

"Xiao Yugan is shy!"

Xia Qingfeng briefly told Ming Xi what happened that night.Ming Xi became more and more angry at first, but in the end she didn't know what to say, and turned into a long sigh.

"When I rescued her from you that day, I warned her not to touch the keel again. I didn't expect that she still wouldn't listen to me."

Xia Qingfeng took the bone flute from Mo Bai, and said: "This is because Mo Bai is afraid that something will happen again, so he took it here for the time being, and I have to return it later." Nu Nuzui: "A little thief like this will not be the last."

"The keel didn't belong to them! I didn't steal it!"

I don't know if Xia Qingfeng stimulated the little mermaid by mouthing one thief after another. She suddenly jumped out of the pearl pile and screamed.

"You little monster, do you understand the ownership of modern human objects?" Xia Qingfeng pointed at the mermaid through the glass, "The Lu family spent money to buy the keel, so now the keel belongs to them. If you don't ask, you are stealing. have no idea?"

"No, no!" Xia Qingfeng was so angry that the rainbow fish jumped out of the tank, and landed on the ground, turning into a half-man, half-fish appearance.She supported her body with her tail, raised her head in front of Xia Qingfeng and confronted him: "They dug the keel from the mountain and sold it secretly, so it shouldn't belong to them at all!"

The little mermaid's words contained too much information, and the expressions of the other three became serious in an instant.Mo Bai and Xia Qingfeng looked at each other, feeling that they had finally found a breakthrough.

"Come on, come on in, and tell me what happened in detail."

The little mermaid turned back into a fish and returned to the glass tank.She looked around at the three people and one cat sitting on the sofa, and then slowly told what she knew.
