The Old Man and the Mermaid

The mermaid thought about how to repay this kindness.

After a whole day of hunting, his physical strength has returned to its best condition. Today's current is not fierce, so he doesn't need to consciously control his direction when swimming in the sea.This allowed him to have enough experience to think about that young human being.

Human beings will feel hungry just like them, so people will first solve the problem of food and clothing, and then gradually start to enjoy material satisfaction.Aigre doesn't seem to be bothered by hunger, so the mermaid decides to bring him some treasures from the sea.For example, pearl oysters and corals in shallow seas.

In the more distant sea area, there are still giant clams and sunken logs, but even at the speed of a mermaid, it will take a long time to get them back.He didn't feel that he was pressed for time, but it was a good choice for him to bring some gifts for that young man as soon as possible.

He broke through the shoals of fish below, swam in the deeper water for a while, and then floated towards the sea again, gradually approaching the coast.

He felt some discomfort in the gills on the sides of his neck.The seawater in this area seemed not very clean, causing his whole body to itch like it was covered with bugs that were hard to distinguish with the naked eye.However, it is not the first time that he has approached the coast controlled by humans. It is not that he cannot bear the discomfort. After successfully avoiding the small area that humans can see, he got what he wanted .

Of course, Aigre didn't know exactly what the mermaid was doing now, and he couldn't even remember his adventure in the morning in this slightly busy afternoon.

He is not a rough-headed person, but he has a receptivity unmatched by others.This ability to accept comes from his experience when he was watching the sea on a small boat with his grandfather when he was young. He was led by his grandfather to stand on the bow and enjoy the sea breeze. Marine life in textbooks or materials.

This marine creature is larger than dolphins, and its slender body and graceful curves look like spirit beasts under the sunlight.With the light behind it, it jumped out of the sea just like that, and after a startled appearance in front of Aigre and his grandfather, it sank into the sea with water splashes.

"That's the real treasure of the sea." After Aigre felt uncontrollably shocked, he heard his grandfather tell him, "There are too many unknown creatures hidden in the sea that we can't explore and have always been a mystery. They are mysterious and powerful. He is the most beloved child of the Sea God."

At the same time, the grandfather told his little grandson that he saw this kind of creature once when he was very young, and in the long years since then, he has also encountered many unnamed sea animals.He read the papers and tens of thousands of materials of various industry experts in the world, but failed to get any information about these creatures.

Meeting that mermaid was the second time Aigre met a mysterious creature that humans hadn't gotten any information about yet.

He thought it might be because his grandfather's blood flowed in his body, so he was as lucky as his grandfather to be able to meet these sea elves.

Of course he wouldn't tell anyone about these creatures, and the bounties he didn't get were just a joke.

And the young man is in a little trouble now, so he can't take care of thinking about these problems for the time being.

Aigre had originally planned to leave the market and return to the lighthouse to prepare his own dinner, but before leaving, he heard a loud noise coming from the end of the market.

He looked back, and at the other end of the market, there were a few people dressed strangely arguing loudly with the owner of the grocery store about what to write.Aigre carefully observed their clothes and the packages in their hands, and concluded that they appeared on Dusk Island at this time, either for smuggling or for poaching.

He even saw the equipment they used to catch large sea creatures.

The other residents are naturally aware of this, and several men have already taken out their mobile phones to notify the security department of Dusk Island.In recent years, very few people who smuggle seafood have dared to appear so blatantly. Although Dusk Island is not under the control of the mainland government, they are really too reckless, as if they think that there is no one on the entire island. People can manage them the same.

Such people usually carry weapons in their hands, and ordinary people really dare not do anything to them.

But Aigre is very leisurely now, and decided to meddle in his own business, to save the grocery store owner with whom he has a good relationship.

He stepped forward and greeted the fat boss who was staring at those people angrily: "Mr. Witt?"

"Little Payel!" The fat boss called him in surprise, pointing to those guys and explained, "These gentlemen don't understand the current prices at all, so they think the price I gave is too high? God knows How much does it cost to transport those daily necessities from the mainland! My selling price is already very low."

"Your price is more than half the price we bought in other stores. I don't care about your shipping fee. We will pay whatever the unified selling price is, and we won't give you a single cent more." Those few The leader of the guy laughed wildly twice, and then looked at Aigre: "Oh, what a handsome little boy. What's your name? Payer? We heard that the residents on Twilight Island are very hospitable. Since you are called This name is gone, why don’t you just pay the extra amount for us as a gift?” (Note 1)

"I won't pay." Aigre looked at him and said calmly, "You gentlemen don't need to ask the price any more. Since you have the courage to appear in front of everyone, you should know that what you did will be worthwhile." Arrested. Mr. Witt’s goods, even if you buy them today, you will definitely not be able to take them away.”

The leader's expression changed instantly, but before he had time to take out the electric baton and knife from his bag, Aigre kicked him on the chin.

In the eyes of the professors, Aigle is a good boy who is willing to study hard and make progress every day, but in terms of fighting, he has never lost to anyone.

These few guys who violated laws and regulations are obviously just half-baked, even if they did some shady deeds, it is estimated that there are not many historical cases to be found.It may even be the first time they have done black work, and even before they figured out anything, they stumbled because of their arrogance and delusions about a better future, which can be regarded as shooting themselves in the foot.

Egreel dodged the electric baton pulled out by the last person, twisted his hands behind his back and pressed them on the ground, and at the same time called several other strong men onlookers to subdue all the offenders, and handed them over after about 10 minutes. It was given to the law enforcement officials who came after hearing the news.

"I really want to thank you this time, Eigre." The captain of the guard thanked Eigre with a smile, "These guys were wanted after they smuggled out of the border of country M, but I don't know why they slipped away." It's gone. And it's not a professional gang, maybe it's just a few people making an appointment together to make a fortune, I will send them back to their country to accept legal sanctions."

"You're welcome." Aigre rubbed his slightly sore wrists after not having such strenuous activities for a long time, nodded and said, "Then I'll leave first, so I won't disturb your hard work."

"Okay, see you next time."

Aigre glanced at the other residents who were cleaning up the baskets that were knocked over during the fight, greeted the fat boss of the grocery store, and then planned to go back to the lighthouse, but he was quickly called by the fat boss go back.

"Wait, little Payer!" The fat boss trotted over panting, straightened his round stomach, and handed a small box in his hand to Aigre, "This is some that our family bought last time." Candy - don't look at me like that, I know you're not a kid anymore, but this candy tastes really good, I love it myself. Take it, you can't drink water all the time while you're in the lighthouse , It’s good to taste the sweetness with a piece of sugar once in a while.”

"Thank you, Mr. Witt." Aigre smiled, took the box, and couldn't help persuading him before leaving: "But you should eat less sweet or greasy things, sir, I don't think so. Sorry, but you do need to lighten your weight."

"My wife said the same thing, don't worry, I will pay attention."

Fat bosses always say this, but rarely take actual action.However, Aigre was not too good to continue talking, so he simply nodded, turned around and returned to the lighthouse with the things he bought and the small box.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the lighthouse, he felt something was wrong.

He regularly cleans the interior of the lighthouse every day, and ventilates all sides, so there will never be any peculiar smell in the tower.But now he not only smelled a strong smell of the sea, but even saw a lot of water stains on the floor that hadn't dried up.

Someone broke into the lighthouse while he was away.

Aigre frowned, and the first thing he thought of was that some of the poachers might have slipped through the net, but after taking two steps inside, he abandoned this idea and froze in place.

His mind is always jumping, so the second thought that popped into his head was to buy a new smartphone - so that he can go to the forum or something and ask about omniscience Netizens of Akatsuki, when a handsome fish breaks into the house, what kind of attitude should he adopt to treat him wholeheartedly without being rude.

The author has something to say: Note 1: Aigre's surname Payer is Payer in English, which means the person who pays.The person who pays should pay, which is a cold joke that occasionally appears in English 2333
