Daily life of civil servants in the prefectural government

"Big brother, are you awake?"

Su Xiyan opened his eyes, and saw a rough man with a beard smiling brightly at him. The strong demonic aura on the other party's body scared him so much that the aura he had just turned around almost turned into a turtle's breath technique again.

The rough guy had quick hands and quick eyes, and dragged him up again by shouting at the top of his voice.

"Hey, hey, don't lie down, I pulled you up with great difficulty. If you want to faint, don't faint now. For the sake of saving you from the lake, please do me a favor first. !"

Su Xiyan was like a masked person, letting him straighten himself out.It would take a few minutes for the sequelae of the tortoise's breath operation to completely disappear. He squinted his eyes and looked around, and finally knew why he was sore and uncomfortable.

The scenery of Sapphire Lake is beautiful, but the surrounding environment is not very beautiful. The ground is full of gravel, and plants grow tenaciously in the stone grains.

Su Xiyan was directly placed on the gravel floor, her chest and waist were in burning pain, and she didn't know when she was injured.Fortunately, it was all skin trauma, so he didn't take it to heart if it wouldn't delay the business.

After discovering that Su Xiyan was awake, several police officers who were checking other places by the lake came over, and the leader was a boy with a baby face.Perhaps because he knew that his appearance was not strong enough, he purposely grew two mustaches under his lips, but this combined with his immature appearance looked a bit nondescript.

The effect of the turtle's breathing technique has not yet passed, Su Xiyan couldn't stand up, and could only show a kind smile at him.But the rough man behind him hid behind him like a mouse seeing a cat.

The baby-faced boy was not polite, and directly caught him out.

"Everyone is awake, should you tell me what your name is?"

"I……"

The rough guy had a bitter face, as if I had a pity, but he refused to say his name.Turning his head wildly, he winked at Su Xiyan, motioning for him to come and help.

The translation is basically, big brother Jianghu rescue!Anyway, I am also your savior, I helped you, if you have anything to do in the future, you can just say it, blah blah blah...

This rough guy doesn't look very good, he just looks like a standard tramp, but his eyes are quite agile.At least when he expressed his feelings and called for help, he was very vivid. At this time, the impact of the turtle's breath technique had been buffered, and Su Xiyan didn't want to continue to suffer on the ground, so he got up with a cough.

"Excuse me, can I interrupt you?"

Su Xiyan showed them the IDs given to them by the police. Everyone was stunned by the obvious bars on it, and the rough man's eyes shone with hope.

Although he is too young, he is the boss after all. He said that the time of falling into the water this time is not a big deal, and he will hand it over as soon as it has been handed over.What Babyface and the others cared about was a case they had investigated before. The case of the unnamed little girl drowning had just made new progress on the rough guy.

Hearing this, even Su Xiyan cast his gaze over there.

The rough man scratched his head, his face became more serious.

"I didn't see the scene of the crime, haven't I been staying in this place all this time..." Seeing the cold light flashing in the baby's face, he immediately waved his hand and changed his words:

"I don't stay here all the time, but I come to the shore to catch fish occasionally. I don't have any tools in my hand. I just take a broken fishing net and the water nets left by the fishermen in the lake, and pull them up to see if there are any fish that slip through the net. ..."

"Then I found a schoolbag on the shore, probably washed up by the water, and it was full of big rocks."

Another policeman held up what he had been carrying all the time. It was a little yellow duck schoolbag that had been half-dried in the sun. It looked the same as the little yellow duck on the little girl's feet in the photo.There are still many patches on the edge of the schoolbag. It seems that it has been used for many years, but the owner still cherishes it very much.

Baby-faced boy: "It has been preliminarily confirmed that this schoolbag belongs to that little girl. The stones in it should prevent the body from floating up. In this case, it can be judged that he killed her."

Su Xiyan and the others came here for this case, and the people above also sent a notice, so the baby-faced guy and the others didn't intend to hide it from him, they informed him of the progress they were currently making, and then pointed and shrank behind Su Xiyan. The rough guy asked him to go to the police station to make a statement.

A rough guy, a tall, burly guy shrank behind Su Xiyan aggrievedly, like a little daughter-in-law, poked his waist with his finger, and said in a low voice:

"I really can't do it, big brother, I'm calling you big brother, everyone is on their own, do me a favor!"

Su Xiyan's heart moved, and he helped him to slow down the situation for the time being. He only said that he and his companions were nearby, and they would bring people over to take notes together after they reunited.

The baby face looked at them with half-belief, but didn't say much after all, and took the people away first, and before leaving, he helped transport their Harley motorcycle over with great loyalty.

The corner of Su Xiyan's mouth twitched: I'm sorry, I won't open it even if you bring it over.

On the contrary, the rough man jumped out excitedly after the baby faces and the others left, as if seeing a peerless beauty, he couldn't put it down while touching the car body.

"This is the new model of Harley this year. I haven't snatched it yet. Look at the body and the motor, tsk tsk."

"Oh, this car has been refitted! Which big guy did it? The refit is amazing. It must be very exciting to drive up the mountain road!"

The rough man hugged the car in amazement, watermarks were almost dripping from the corners of his mouth, which made it even more unsightly with his now desolate image.

Su Xiyan unceremoniously rewarded him with a slap in the face, the rough man hugged his head and turned his head, the first sentence was actually about the car.

"Big brother, are you going to resell this car?"

"I transferred it, can you afford it?"

Su Xiyan glanced at him, and everyone understood the meaning in his eyes.The rough man looked down at his current appearance, and finally couldn't help blushing.

"Hey, isn't this a difficult time for everyone?"

"I still have the money to buy a car. Really, I'm really not a poor man. Big brother, you can lend me some clothes, and you'll understand when I put them on."

Su Xiyan sighed softly, but also didn't quite understand why the monster's painting style was so strange.Didn't it mean that monsters are all hiding in the deep mountains, with simple and kind personalities, especially easy to fool [no], especially easy to talk?

Why is this one so weird?

Thinking of what he vaguely saw before he fell into a coma, Su Xiyan asked curiously: "What kind of monster are you?"

The rough man's face turned green, "You really want to know?"

Su Xiyan said decisively: "I really want to." Thinking of the scene he saw in the illusion, his little heart still jumped a little.

It's not to give Cui Zhao a green hat, but the pure love that surges in the hearts of human beings when they face such beautiful things.Let's be honest, who doesn't like pretty?

If Cui Zhao's human form is not so good-looking, no matter how cute his cat form is, there will be no further development.Although...the two of them really thought that there was no further development in the first place, how could they be so happy all of a sudden?

The rough man bowed his head shyly, and said in a super soft voice, "Mermaid."

Su Xiyan: "...What the hell?"

"...It's hot, mermaid."

"I'm sorry, my ears are not very good, can you speak louder?" Su Xiyan's expression was calm and composed, but when she looked carefully, her eyes were a little empty.

"It's a mermaid, haven't you seen the Disney mermaid cartoon?"

The rough guy didn't care about being shy any longer, and said loudly and confidently.

"The red-haired fish tail looks really pretty, the kind called a sea elf."

Su Xiyan: ...

The difference between dreams and reality, he finally realized what disillusionment is.

Perhaps the collapsed expression on his face was too obvious, the rough man scratched his head guiltily.

"I don't want to, but I'm the only remaining mermaid. After living for so many years, I have basically never seen the same kind. It's good to have one of my precious species left. You can't force me to not bring a handle. Son."

Su Xiyan nodded slowly: "That's right, I forced it, you go into the water."

Rough guy: "Just figure it out, wait a minute, why did I go into the water, I just came out of the water?"

Su Xiyan: "Because I still don't believe that you are a mermaid, go down for me!"

Rough guy: "..."

In the end, the rough man was forcibly immobilized and thrown into the lake because the opponent used cheats during the armed confrontation.With a plop, the rough man's huge body was like a big iron block, splashing a lot of waves, and then he sank with a rumbling sound.

Su Xiyan counted silently in her heart, and when she counted to the last number, a lot of air bubbles appeared on the surface of the lake, and the person who had just sunk jumped out of the water at twice the speed of going down, the beautiful fish tail shining with silver light It flashed in front of Su Xiyan.He squatted down decadently, and finally had to admit that the appearance of the mermaid princess in his childhood dream was shattered.

My heart hurts, I feel like I lost my wife.

Wait, he really lost a "wife"!

Su Xiyan grabbed the rough man mermaid who was panting on her belly. "Let me ask you, what happened to that scallop spirit in the river?"

Young man, think carefully, if you dare to say that he is your accomplice, you will be turned into dried fish!It just so happened that Cui Zhao didn't seem to be picky about fish at all.

"Scallop essence?" The rough mermaid wrapped herself in a tattered denim jacket and sat on the shore aggrieved.

"I became trapped here because of that damn big shell!"

"what?"

"Have you seen the mermaid cartoon?" Without waiting for Su Xiyan to answer, the rough man mermaid continued, "Every mermaid will have some standard products from birth, and mermaids can weave them. There are weaving tools, our attack method is singing, we don’t need any auxiliary tools, and they like beauty, so every fish has a big scallop.”

"Big scallops?"

"That's right, isn't it the one you just saw, the super big one." The rough man mermaid sighed quietly, looking very aggrieved.

"We mermaids love cleanliness. The reef is uncomfortable to sleep on, so we look for that kind of big scallop as a bed. When I was young, I can also be a babysitter for mermaids, which saves time and effort, and everyone likes to use it. Later, I used it a lot and was recognized by it. Humans have seen it a few times, so the cartoons also said that the shell is a beautiful princess bed."

"Obviously mermaids sleep in shells no matter men, women or children." He said indignantly.

Maybe it's because I've been holding back for too long, and I can't talk about this kind of thing with other people. The rough mermaid can't stop once she says it.

"A long time ago, in the inheritance memory, we had quite a lot of mermaids at that time, and the number of scallop essences was not enough. After all, it is still very troublesome to make shells into essences. Everyone understands this. But you understand, fish without shells are still They would get angry and even fight, so they just set up a scallop farm in the deep sea.”

"Later, the number of mermaids became less and less, but the number of scallop spirits increased. Now this scallop spirit is almost desperate to snatch a mermaid!"

"He told me that he had good things for me, so he locked me up and hid me here in the lake for more than half a month. After more than half a month, I was almost too cold from work!"

As the rough man mermaid said, she covered her face and began to cry, looking very miserable.

He cried and said that he was finished, and he was about to become a vagrant and return to the deep sea to eat himself.Su Xiyan sympathized with him very much, and then he yelled to stop cruelly.

"Don't cry, if you cry again, I'll put you in a scallop shell. Tell me, does your scallop eat people?"

"Cannibalism?" The rough man raised his head suspiciously, his face was dry without any tears. "Don't eat it, don't scallops eat plankton in the water?"

"And the inside of the scallop's shell is actually a small storage space. It puts a lot of decorative items for mermaids. It's very precious. Basically, other creatures will not be allowed to enter it."

Su Xiyan: "Then under what circumstances would he swallow other creatures?"

The rough man answered very straightforwardly: "He will swallow the wife he chose for the mermaid, except for the mermaid and his partner, there is no..."

"boom--"

With a bruised eye socket, the rough man said angrily, "How can you hit someone casually!"

Su Xiyan heheed, pointing to the seemingly calm lake: "Because my wife was just swallowed by your scallop essence."
