The Old Man and the Mermaid

Aigre stared at the curly-haired Mr. with questioning eyes for a while, but the guy remained stubbornly deadlocked with him until Mr. Mermaid couldn't help but raised his tail fin and swiped him violently twice. He frowned reluctantly and spoke again.

This guy's way of speaking is very different from that of Mr. Mermaid. He speaks very fast, so fast that Aigre can hardly capture any words that he is slightly familiar with from his language. At this time, he can only sit down first. Listening from the sidelines.

And just from the surface, Mr. Mermaid has been silently listening to this curly-haired man, his expression is not very relaxed, so Aigre deduces that what the curly-haired man is talking about now should indeed be different from what he said before. Several things are related.

During their conversation, Aigre continued to look at the appearance of the guy in front of him.Leaving aside his appearance and figure, what really attracted Aigre's attention was a rather long and hideous scar on his abdomen - if this scar were on an ordinary human, it would probably kill that human directly .Aigre recalled the moment Mr. Mermaid rushed out of the sea to catch his prey, his eyes became a little complicated.

After speaking quickly, the curly-haired mermaid took one last look at Aigre, and then turned over and jumped into the sea. When leaving, she accidentally bumped her tail because she couldn't completely control her body movements. On the side of the stone.

Aigre: "..."

If it is placed in human society, this kind of guy who can faint on the street anytime and anywhere must be either drunk or drugged.

However, after he left in this way, Egreel felt a little confused again.He has been watching the water spray brought by the curly-haired mermaid gradually return to calm, then turned his head to look at Mr. Mermaid who was also looking at him, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Go back to the lighthouse?"

Mr. Mermaid originally didn't intend to use his fingers to write down all the content of their conversation just now on the beach to Eigre, so given the right to choose, he would of course be happy to use pen and paper to replace these poor little things. Sand and your nails.

Although the curly-haired boy just now was obviously not fully awake, and his tone and manner of speaking were not easy to understand, but the content he narrated made Mr. Yu inevitably feel a little headache.

On the way to the lighthouse, Aigre turned back and looked at Mr. Mermaid again, but he didn't ask any more questions immediately. Instead, he walked around to the main entrance of the lighthouse to open the gate as before, and pressed the key set on the side of the gate. Light switch on the wall.

Mr. Mermaid didn't pause after turning in the window. He directly picked up the towel placed aside to wipe off the sea water and sand on his body, then sat down at the dining table, picked up a piece of paper, and wrote down all the things that curly-haired boy told him earlier. down.

While taking off his sand-stained coat and throwing it into the laundry basket, Aigre poured two glasses of water from the kitchen to Mr. Mermaid's side, and at the same time lowered his head to look at the paper.He carefully read the words written in Mr. Mermaid's beautiful handwriting word by word, and slowly frowned.

Things are more complicated than Aigre imagined.He had already guessed that the candy mentioned by the curly-haired child probably referred to some kind of oral food that looked like hard candy. After all, a certain mermaid approached the beach by chance, and found it in a corner of the beach. The fact of a candy itself is quite incredible-not to mention that this mermaid who doesn't know how mentally aged actually ate it.

So after seeing the whole process of Mr. Mermaid's gradual writing, Eigre felt more and more headaches.

... To put it simply, the IQ of this curly fish is almost zero.

Aigre raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks a few times, sighing softly.

The reason why the mermaids would take the initiative to approach this island was exactly as Aigre had guessed before, it was because Mr. Mermaid stayed in this sea area for a long time and was so close to a certain human on the island.The mermaid tribe has always been very concerned about the safety of any member of the mermaid tribe, so the girl from the mermaid tribe came to confirm Mr. mermaid's safety and true thoughts after realizing that Mr. Mermaid had indeed a close relationship with Aigre.

And this Curly is about the same.He had fought with Mr. Mermaid a few months ago in the sea not far from here, and after encountering two sea beasts in a row, he threw the more difficult one to Mr. Mermaid rather unceremoniously.Mr. Mermaid had expended a lot of energy in the process of fighting him, so when he finally dealt with the sea beast, he also accidentally hit his back against a rock on the bottom of the sea.The oppressive feeling of the violent impact on his back caused a short-term fault in his thinking, and it was at this time that he was directly sent to the surface of the sea by a turbulent current, and was washed ashore along with the waves in the storm .

——This is what Egrele saw the night he met Mr. Mermaid for the first time.

And the little curly-haired child was also not very comfortable.He was seriously injured in the fight with another sea beast, and a gash in his abdomen was torn out, almost causing him to lose too much blood and die.Although he finally managed to deal with the behemoth that didn't know what to do, but because of this, he lay on a sunless seabed for several days before he could catch his breath.

In the following period of time, the curly-haired gentleman never left too far.Although he has a strange personality and has no reason to fight with Mr. Mermaid for no reason at all, but he absolutely does not want his people to die at the mouth of those sea beasts who have no IQ and only rely on brute force to make a living because of him.He was hunting not far from this sea area, and kept searching for traces of Mr. Mermaid by the way. Until some time ago, he accidentally found traces of Mr. Mermaid who had been to this sea area on the seabed near Dusk Island, so Only then did he follow Mr. Mermaid's breath all the way to find it.

After approaching Twilight Island, he not only failed to find Mr. Mermaid immediately, but also became extremely abnormal because of eating the so-called candy by mistake—although it sounds from Mr. Mermaid's description that his spirit It's never been normal, but this time it seems extra weird.He told Mr. Mermaid that he saw a human leaning against a stone on the beach after eating this kind of candy. The expression on his face was... miraculous, and it didn't seem to directly hurt the human body, so he picked it up One of the unpacked candies left by the human on the beach was thrown into his mouth without much hesitation.

Aigre: "..." This IQ is probably the bottom one in the world's animal IQ list.

After Curly ate the candy, it didn't take long for him to feel that his whole body was not quite right. Not only could he not lift his strength, but his vision became quite blurred.For the next few days, he could only rely on blurred vision and instinctive actions. Although he was unwilling to approach the shore again, he really wanted to find out the specific reason why he became so delirious.

When he saw this, Eigre frowned and asked: "So the shadow of the sea creature that Grandpa Pei saw before is actually him?"

Mr. Mermaid raised his head noncommittally to show that there was such a possibility, and then continued writing.

Curly couldn't wake up all the time, and during his dazed period of time, he seemed to have seen someone on the beach.He wasn't sure if the human had seen him, but hostility was evident in his heart.He could hardly restrain his urge to jump out of the sea and drag the human into the sea. In the end, the human left first, and he gradually relaxed and returned to the bottom of the sea.

He didn't know how long it had been since, but when Mr. Mermaid found him, he couldn't even distinguish Mr. Mermaid's smell, so he turned around and ran away.The real reason for him to wake up is probably his persistent behavior of knocking his head against the stone.

Mr. Mermaid wrote down the words that the curly hair told him just now on the paper. Aigre couldn't laugh or cry, but his mood gradually became serious because of it.

He rubbed between his brows, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Although I'm not sure what exactly he ate, I can almost guess that it should be some kind of...a prohibited drug. And let's not talk about Grandpa Pei now." Whether the shadow we saw was him or not, we don't even know who the human being he saw on the beach is now, Mr. Fish."

Mr. Mermaid twisted the pen twice in his hand and wrote: He will be waiting for us on the East Coast tomorrow morning.

"East Beach?" Aigre was stunned for a moment. "The fishermen will go out to sea from that coast in the morning. He is really brave enough."

After hearing his words, Mr. Mermaid had a much more relaxed expression than Aigre.He even directly showed a malicious smile, and then slowly wrote on the paper: I will take you there.

Aigre: "...It's easy to discuss if you have something to say."

Mr. Mermaid laughed twice, and put on an expression that was quite irresistible.

Aigre stared at him silently for two seconds. He couldn't think of any way to prevent Mr. Mermaid from taking him on a roller coaster in the sea, so he simply accepted the fact, picked up a bag from the table, and gave him a bag with the same malicious intentions in return. With a smile, he asked, "Do you want to eat jelly?"

Mermaid: "...?"
