The Old Man and the Mermaid

Eating and excreting.

Aigre stood on the coast, looked at the direction of the mermaid, let the sea water splash on his ankles and calves, and thought about his not too long life expressionlessly.

He thinks his brain is probably rusted, or eaten by zombies - it reminds him of an indie game that was quite rational a few years ago, and thinks that he may be a little bit more stupid than a brainless person.

... He actually wanted to ask about reproductive issues.Fortunately, I still had such a sporadic sense of reason, and I was punched back in the throat before this sentence was blurted out.

Aigre lowered his head again to look at the two red fish scales in his hands, and patted his forehead twice, feeling that his brain might still be flooded with alcohol, and even felt dizzy and hovering after standing for a long time came to mind.

He feels tired.

Although the conversation seemed quite relaxed, and the mermaid man never showed any malice, Aigre was still nervous about his existence.After all, he was a sea creature that was not yet familiar - and he was a relatively vicious kind.

This can be seen from the two fish scales he is holding in his hand.These two scales are quite large and thick, and one can tell at a glance that they will definitely not fall from the mermaid.So if it wasn't for the scales on the mermaid, it could only be that he took them from other sea creatures—or forcibly took them.

But even so, he decided to take good care of the crimson scales, accepting them kindly as a mermaid's heart.

Anyway, he himself is not too kind.The world is dominated by the weak and the strong. He doesn't know what the mermaid world is like, but he understands that human beings have deprived countless creatures of their lives in three meals a day, and they don't feel guilty for the death of an unknown creature.

This reminded him of the scene when he saw a butcher at the end of the market when he was a child disemboweling a live pig from the mainland.

He didn't remember clearly, but he could guess what kind of mood he was in at that time.Because in the next few weeks, he could not eat meat.

But time is incomparably powerful, powerful enough to erase all fear and sorrow. No matter how uncomfortable Aigre was for the scene he saw that day, that scene was finally permanently hidden in the depths of his memory.

It wasn't until today when he saw the two fish scales in his hand that he vaguely remembered what kind of way the earth was rotating.

The mermaid will definitely not use sauce or salt like people living on land, and the possibility of him eating other creatures directly is quite high.

Aigre didn't think it was cruel, but felt a little sorry, and even started to think about whether the mermaid would show up again next time, should he just prepare a plate of food that the townspeople often eat.

Such as dried fish and the like.

This should be considered a unique gift on land, right?As Aigre walked back to the lighthouse, he let his mind wander around various things.

I don't know if mermaids eat beef and mutton.

Aigre went to the table and turned on the newly purchased computer, and began to search the Internet for information about mermaids—although he knew that none of the information might be true, it could be used as a reference anyway.

The mermaid is still trying to guess whether Aigre's brain circuit is within the scope of normal humans.

This young man is like a taciturn visionary. Although he usually looks gentle and peaceful, his mind is always full of all kinds of wild ideas.

The sea at night does not look as beautiful and elegant as described in the article.It is full of dangers of all kinds, and it is terrifyingly deep.

But the mermaid belongs to the sea, and he will never be afraid to tolerate these waves, just like humans will never feel vigilant because they are surrounded by trees.But even with the moonlight shining, the sea still looked quite dark.The waves chased each other and gathered together, and then were smashed to pieces by the accelerated speed of the mermaid's swimming.

When the tide rises at dusk, the sea is no longer as peaceful as it was during the day.But this kind of atmosphere makes the fish feel more comfortable.

Alcohol also surrounded his thoughts.

His body shook slightly, and then he relaxed, swinging his fish tail and returning to the depths of the sea, intending to let himself sleep for a while, at least he had to wait until the dizziness completely disappeared before continuing to act.

When the mermaid decided to get a good night's sleep, Aigre was still looking up the information.

He saw quite a lot of very interesting information.

For example, the tails of mermaids can actually be separated, and then become two things similar to human legs, and their organs responsible for reproduction are placed in the middle of the two tails similar to legs.

Aigre: "..."

Although Eigre doesn't know the normal reproduction method of the mermaid, but judging from the beautiful and powerful fish tail of the mermaid, I can bet that it must rely on a method that is not so nonsense.

In addition, he also saw some strange pictures - such as two human legs growing under the head of a fish.

Aigre: "..."

He let go of the mouse, rubbed the sides of his forehead, and came to the conclusion that the people who wrote these things must be men.

And from these materials and pictures, it can be seen that people do regard mermaids as pure fantasy creatures—because 90.00% of the materials clearly state that the sex of mermaids is female, while the remaining [-]% The ten or so sources did not mention the gender of the mermaid at all.

So the mermaid is actually regarded as a beautiful love fantasy object by some technical comrades who stay at home all day long?Aigre frowned and thought.

He shook his head and continued to read.

He was quite sure that the mermaid he had seen these few times was indeed a gentleman.That kind of physique and gaze absolutely cannot belong to a gentle and charming woman, not to mention that Mr. Mermaid's upper body is completely naked although it is covered with scales.

Although the upper body of a female mermaid probably won't wear the shell clothes that humans imagined.

Thinking of this aspect of the problem, Eigre had to think of something deeper at the same time.For example, where is the mermaid's reproductive system?

In this room facing the computer monitor, Eigre felt that he was no different from a wretched barefoot man.

Then he punched himself deep inside, kept a serious expression, and continued to read.
