did you see my dad

The light in the corridor dimmed, and the person who was in the corridor just now had stood in front of her at some point, Huali shivered, and raised her head to look at the person who came.

It was the waiter I met during the day, she smiled and bent down to look at Huali: "My little guest, what can I do for you?"

The guests in the restaurant on the second floor did not choose to go back to their rooms just because they had seen the mermaid. Their interest became more curious as they got closer to observe. When the captain saw that they were so supportive, he asked his assistant to bring a tray. Selling the opportunity for guests to pet the mermaid's tail.

Because the price is not expensive, these guests who can afford the boat fare paid more or less out of curiosity and stroked the orange long tail one by one. The fish tail was also unable to pat off the palms touching her fish tail due to excessive hunger. Curious, obscene, and even drunk guests rudely pulled out the fish scales on her tail.

From the mermaid's throat came a cry that pierced the black sea. All the guests present covered their ears. Huali just heard such a desperate cry when she was carried by the waiter. She looked towards the source of the sound. Mermaid tail Trembling in pain, the blood stained the surrounding scales red, and when Qi Ya, who was not interested in this activity, turned around, he happened to notice Huali who was being held high in his arms by the waiter.

"Why did you run out?" Qi Ya hugged her from the waiter, and asked her in a low voice.

Huali was still startled by the voice just now, hugged his neck tightly and replied tremblingly: "You are not in the room, I can't find you."

It’s not easy for Qi Ya to accuse her of doing something wrong. It is true that he carelessly left her alone in the room and did not tell her where he was going. At that time, the tone was still blunt: "I know."

Huali, who was with him, became a little more curious. She watched the rich businessman who paid the captain with money to show off the fish scales that had been pulled out to the people next to him. Her eyes fell on the trembling mermaid again, slowly He pursed his lips tightly.

Kuroro, who was planning to act, found her, and she didn't know what to say to Qi Ya, she jumped out of Qi Ya's arms, and approached the iron cage with Jinni in her hand.

After the fish scales were pulled out, the fish tail shrank helplessly when it found someone approaching. Seeing that it was a child in a nightgown, the captain lifted the tray to her with a smile, but saw that there were no elders around her, so he walked slowly. He exhorted: "Miss, you can touch her, but you can't pull out her scales, otherwise we will charge very expensive."

Qi Ya stared at him: "There are so many words."

The captain immediately kept silent. If the scales were pulled out again, this mermaid would not be very attractive to watch. He planned to dock in the next city to watch and earn money, so there should be no more damage.

The mermaid stared at the children squatting in front of her. In her memory, these pampered children were more terrifying than adults. They acted recklessly, so when they saw Huali stretching out her hand, she subconsciously curled her tail and tried to avoid it. her fingers.

Huali stretched out her two hands and covered the mermaid's wound with her clean handkerchief. They looked at each other through the iron cage. The mermaid's pupils constricted, reflecting what she was doing. Finger, seems to express gratitude.

The captain waved his hand and didn't let her stay any longer.

Huali had no choice but to wave to her, and was led away by Qiya.

They also had a face-to-face meeting with Kuroro and the knight in the corridor. Kuroro greeted them, and Huali also waved politely, but Qiya only nodded, bypassed them and entered himself. s room.

He still didn't like Kuroro and the knight, although from the beginning to the end, they didn't seem to have done anything to them.

While sleeping, Huali was still thinking about the mermaid, and Qiya lay flat next to her, closing her eyes as if she had fallen asleep.

After a while, when Huali was about to fall asleep, she seemed to hear something in her ears.She looked around and didn't find anything, so she leaned over and yelled Qi Ya in a breathless voice. She just wanted to see if he was asleep, but the next second the boy opened his eyes and covered her mouth. mouth.

He motioned Huali to keep silent, then slowly sat up and looked towards the locked bathroom in the dark.

But soon the sound in the ear suddenly disappeared, it seemed that all this was just a hallucination heard by the two of them.

Qi Ya couldn't fall asleep, wrapped the quilt tightly, Huali got out of bed calmly, he wanted to see who was doing these little tricks in the bathroom.

The hand hanging by the side has already become a claw, and as soon as he approached the door, he heard the sound of running in a panic in the corridor, and if he listened carefully, he could hear a few words: "I ran away...I can't find it"

Qi Ya walked over to open a gap in the door and looked out. In the corridor were several waiters whom he had seen during the day, and even the captain's assistant was muttering anxiously, followed by him looking at the corridor passage The sky outside was pitch black, and the ship was sailing smoothly. There should be no problem with the ship.

But when he closed the door and walked back, he saw that Huali had got out of bed at some point, because her direction was close to the bathroom, so he opened the door of the bathroom very quickly, and tiptoed to look in.

And the moment the door opened, the fishy smell from the second floor filled his nostrils, before Qiya could stop him, Huali had already turned on the bathroom light, and an orange shadow rushed towards Huali.

Qi Ya's whole heart was raised, he didn't know how he rushed over, he hugged Huali and took two steps back, the Huali that he thought would be injured was intact under Qi Ya's inspection, and the road The orange figure stopped in mid-air, and the sharp teeth that opened slowly retracted when they saw her face.

It was the mermaid who somehow crawled into their bathroom from the second floor down the pipe.

But now, they were facing each other, and even the air around them froze.

The footsteps at the door were getting closer, and under their silence, they could clearly hear the waiter outside knocking on the door looking for the missing mermaid.

Huali tried to approach the mermaid, but Qi Ya grabbed her arm to prevent her from taking risks.

"She won't hurt me." Huali said confidently, but this sentence awakened Qi Ya. Huali has a special protection mechanism when facing harm. Thinking of this, he slowly let go of her hand.

Under the warm yellow light, Huali took a big step towards the mermaid.

During this period of time, the mermaid who was tortured by humans couldn't resist the fear and backed away. Huali stood there without moving. She blinked and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go back to the sea?"

The mermaid looked warily at Qiya behind Huali, and nodded after a while.

There was a small window for ventilation in their bathroom, Huali turned around and took Qi Ya's hand and suggested, "Qi Ya, can you open that window?"

Qi Ya was unmoved, he didn't want to get angry.

"Qi Ya Qi Ya, help her..."

She took Qi Ya's hand and kept shaking it from side to side, and kissed the back of his hand coquettishly. The boy suddenly frowned and pulled out his hand, rubbing the strange touch on the back of his hand and reluctantly agreed: "You will run away later." If you can’t escape, that’s your own business.”

The mermaid nodded and backed away slowly, giving way to her position.

Huali smiled and moved Qiya a stool for him to step on, Qiya put one hand in his pocket: "No need."

He walked into the bathroom, climbed to the window with one hand and stretched out his hand to open the glass. A strong sea smell came out from the small window. He pulled a towel from the shelf beside him and wrapped the mermaid in a bag. Pick it up and throw it out the window.

There was a loud pop.

Then he closed his eyes and turned his head, alas, he was so confident.

Huali applauded from the side: "Qi Ya is great!"

If the white-haired boy had a tail, he would have swung it proudly when he heard this compliment.

It didn't take long before someone knocked on the door and asked, but fortunately, Qi Ya wiped away the traces left by the mermaid and got rid of the fishy smell around him before sending him away.

In the morning of the next day, the ship was about to dock at Sibunan Port for half a day, and the original plan to use mermaids to earn a fortune in this city was also forced to cancel. The captain simply shortened the original one-day stay and accelerated his departure to the next place.

Kuroro stood on the deck and chatted with a rich lady, and obviously attracted this naive rich girl under his outstanding appearance. The reply showed that he didn't care too much.

And when she noticed that Qi Ya was about to disembark with Huali, the fast and enthusiastic girl said goodbye and disembarked.

He learned the identity of this white-haired boy from the knight - Qi Ya, the third son of the Beaten Hakka family, and the person beside him... seems to be a child of the Beaten Hakka family.

There is too little information about her, and she hasn't shown her face outside much, so she can only guess her identity through the color of her hair and eyes.

If he was beating the Hakka child, he would have to consider whether he wanted to offend such a well-known killer family, and it was this that made him temporarily stop his desire to collect.

It's not that he's afraid, but he doesn't like that because of his personal preference, the entire brigade is in danger of being hunted down by the enemy's family at any time, and when he wants to collect red eyes, they can easily wipe out the family without What to worry about.

But beating the enemy is different.

"Let's take a look first," Kurolo gave up such a good opportunity in the street market. He had to judge how to use the best way to meet his own requirements and solve these problems at the same time. "See if there is a better collection here." Taste it."

Because Huali said that she would leave soon, Qiya didn't need to think about her future life, so he took out his card without hesitation and bought a lot of candies and chocolates as snacks. He still couldn't find anything here, and Huali could only make do with other snacks and fruits, while admiring the scenery of the city.

But in the street market, they vaguely heard the sound of fighting, and just went over to watch the excitement, they found a red-haired man in a clown costume laughing crazily with poker cards in his hands, while the people lying on the ground had long been silent .

Qiya pulled Huali and backed away, and Huali remembered what Mi Ke said before - if you encounter a man dressed as a clown, you must dodge as soon as possible, this person is very dangerous.

Perhaps their hair color and eye color were too eye-catching, Hisoka turned his head and looked at them, his slender waist twisted: "Oh, immature little apple ♂"

Qi Ya: ...death change. State.

Just because they met Hisoka, the two of them didn't finish their shopping here, but planned to board the boat early to avoid being watched by this person. Fortunately, Hisoka didn't follow, but picked a place to wait for the man in green The youth joined him.

When boarding the boat, Huali vaguely saw something familiar. When she stood on the deck and looked down, she saw a very familiar green dress, but that person did not have smooth black hair, but was covered by Several nails were inserted in the head and face instead.

And a long time ago, she seemed to have seen such a face, but...she seemed to have forgotten it.

At the same time, Yiermi seemed to have noticed the sight cast from a distance and turned his head to look at the ship, but Huali had already turned around to talk to Qiya, and he only had time to see a piece of flying clothes Jue flashed by.

He stared down at his mobile phone to check the time, and when the ship was about to leave, he stepped up his thigh.
