1. Legendary beautiful creatures

A boy aged about 15 or 6 struggled to hold a large plastic box and stepped on the rusty and creaking narrow steps. When he arrived at Room [-] on the third floor of this old and dangerous building, he was already sweating Down.

He tried to free his hand to take out the keys in his trouser pocket, but the item in his hand was too heavy to carry with one hand, and the narrow corridor was full of sundries, which were three times the width of his body. The plastic box can't find a place to put it temporarily.So he raised his foot and simply kicked the door panel.

"Hey! Come out and open the door!" The boy shouted loudly.

There was no response, as if no one was inside.The young man leaned his ear against the door, through the extremely poor quality of the broken door, he clearly heard the sound of typing on the keyboard, as well as the small sound of the friction between the chair and the ground.

The corner of the boy's eyes twitched, and he raised his leg and kicked hard again: "Don't come to open the door yet! Ye Xiu!!"

"Here we come..." There was a sound of slow, shuffling footsteps inside, and the door lock opened with a click, and behind the door was a slightly green face.The person called Ye Xiu was about the same age as the boy, and the former was biting a candy with a look of dispirited energy on his face: "Su Muqiu, don't say I didn't warn you, the door will break if you kick it down."

Su Muqiu snorted expressionlessly: "If it's broken, I'll stick you on top of the door."

"Then I must be the most expensive door in the world." Ye Xiu spread his hands and blinked sincerely.

"How much are you worth?" Su Muqiu scorned, and raised his hand: "Take the things in, it will kill me."

I don't know what was in that plastic box, it was so dense that Su Muqiu just couldn't move it, and his forearm felt bruised.

Ye Xiu glanced at the sweat on the other's forehead, hurriedly took the box over, and stepped out of the aisle to greet Su Muqiu to come in and sit down. The real owner of the house glared at him.

"Me? Uh..." Ye Xiu followed behind Su Muqiu, easily carrying the box in his hands, like a box of feathers, "It's probably worth tens of millions."

"Turkish lira?"

"EUR."

"How is this calculated?"

Ye Xiu rolled his black eyes and grinned, "The final transaction price at the auction more than 100 years ago."

Su Muqiu also smiled, smiling gracefully, he put his fingers together, and punched someone worth tens of millions of euros on the head.

In the past two weeks, Su Muqiu often wondered if he had picked up a psychopath and returned home.

While instructing Ye Xiu to take the box to the low tea table in the living room and put it down, he reflected deeply.

But can this be his fault? Occasionally, he shows kindness and helps others, and the other person looks quite normal on the outside—a typical runaway teenager who has run away from home—who knows that he will be a narcissistic psychopath.

It all goes back to a rainy evening.

At that time, Su Muqiu was carrying a plastic box on his shoulders and was swinging home with an umbrella in his hand. His shoulders were already mostly wet. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew the umbrella away, and he was instantly chilled by the downpour.He was impatiently planning to chase the umbrella, but when he turned around, he saw that his umbrella was being held in his hand.

It was a young man with short black hair, soaked like Su Muqiu. He was squatting under the narrow eaves, holding his knees tightly with one hand, and sticking his other hand into the rain, pulling an umbrella whose ribs were blown over. tattered.

When Su Muqiu looked over, the other party seemed to notice his gaze and raised his head, brushing away his wet bangs.The moment the light-colored eyes met the black eyes, the man evoked a small smile.

He shook the broken umbrella in his hand: "Little friend, you lost something."

...Who are you calling a kid? !We are the same age!Su Muqiu almost rolled his eyes, but seeing that the other party helped, he could only hold back: "Thank you."

Taking the umbrella from the strange boy, Su Muqiu moved deftly, and brought the umbrella back to barely usable condition in three strokes.The other party's eyes were a little surprised, and Su Muqiu felt that it was the first time he saw someone repairing such a tattered cheap umbrella instead of throwing it away and buying another.

The two didn't talk anymore, they smiled politely at each other, and then parted ways.Su Muqiu walked a certain distance with the big heavy box on his shoulders, and before turning a corner, he glanced behind him again.

The man was still sitting under the eaves, looking up at the gray sky and the heavy rain. The gesture of wrapping his hands around his knees made the boy look a bit pitiful, and his hands were unconsciously pinching the area from his ankle to his calf.

Su Muqiu turned his head away and took a few steps forward, but his pace became slower and slower. Finally, he sighed fiercely, turned around, and turned back to the other side.

The other party stared at the heavy rain in a daze, and the rain scene in front of him was suddenly blocked by Su Muqiu who had gone and returned.Su Muqiu handed the broken umbrella in his hand to the other party: "Did you twist your ankle? Can you still walk? Follow if you can. My house is nearby, and I will give you medicine."

There was some unknown emotion in the surprised expression of the other party, but it was fleeting, and Su Muqiu didn't notice it.He nodded, stood up and got under the umbrella, took the initiative to take the big box from Su Muqiu's hand. Su Muqiu didn't want strangers to take over his belongings, and he didn't want to be injured, but when he saw the other person picked it up, he looked relaxed and obediently. Following Su Muqiu, even leaving most of the umbrella to him, he was drenched in the rain instead, Su Muqiu struggled for a moment, and led the way quietly with his lips pursed.

The silence between the two along the way was finally broken by the other party.

The strange boy didn't ask Su Muqiu's name or where he lived, nor did he wonder why Su Muqiu helped him.

He only asked one sentence: "Do you know where you can see the artificial mermaid?"

Yes, that's it.Su Muqiu remembered.

The second conversation between the two of them made Su Muqiu start to question whether he picked up the wrong thing...

He turned to look at Ye Xiu beside him. The guy who had been picked up for half a month was quite adaptable. At this time, he followed the instructions and put the plastic box next to the coffee table, then sat down cross-legged, and opened the box naturally. .The box was filled with all kinds of semi-finished products. Ye Xiu reached out to touch it and found the list at the bottom of the box. After carefully confirming the delivery date, he took out a large roll of pink paper tape and thin wire, and nimbly pinched it with his fingers. Blossoming beautiful paper flowers, working hard to do OEM.

Su Muqiu felt a little complicated looking at this scene.

The initial impression of "a young master in distress who doesn't know the sufferings of the world" created by Ye Xiu's inability to do anything has gradually faded away.Ye Xiu did keep in mind the first night of his stay, Su Muqiu pretended to be indifferent, "My family has no money, so I can stay here, and earn money to pay for board, lodging, water and electricity", and implemented it earnestly.

"Mu Qiu, the sun has been going down for a long time." Ye Xiu moved quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the paper flowers had piled up on a hill, and behind the paper flowers, he glanced at Su Muqiu, "If you don't take a bath now, the water heater will be turned off by the solar energy after the water heater is finished." Turning to electricity consumption to boil water."

"Okay." Su Muqiu withdrew his thoughtful gaze, took off his sweat-absorbing top, walked into the room bare-chested, took a change of clothes, and went to the bathroom.

On the way, he inadvertently saw a computer screen. On the page was a suspended video. A person was lying with his eyes closed in all kinds of grotesque cold instruments. His lower body was already in the shape of a fish.

Su Muqiu frowned slightly, walked into the bathroom, and turned on the cool hot water.

What Ye Xiu also took seriously was his only question at the beginning.

About Mermaid.

Su Muqiu quickly took a shower, put on an apron and turned into the kitchen. Half an hour later, when two dishes and one soup were on the table, the door of the house just opened. Su Mucheng, a sixth-grade elementary school student, happily announced, "I'm back!"

"Mucheng, are you back?" Ye Xiu tilted his head.

"Uh-huh."

The little girl was smiling, jumping up and down, Su Muqiu quickly wiped off her hands with a bright smile and spread her arms, then Su Mucheng walked around him and knocked Ye Xiu to the ground.Su Muqiu knelt down on the spot, and the latter two exchanged glances slyly and laughed out loud.

After a dinner with poor dishes but a harmonious atmosphere, Ye Xiu went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Su Muqiu started to work as an OEM, and Su Mucheng sat in front of the computer and shook the mouse.

"Brother, are there really mermaids in the world?"

"No."

"But Ye Xiu has been looking up this." The girl looked at the paused video screen, holding her face, "Yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday..."

"The mermaid you mentioned is a beautiful creature in legends, and it only appears in stories. What he is looking for is not that kind of beautiful thing." Su Muqiu replied, "Close his page and play with yours."

"Oh..." Su Mucheng nodded, turned off the video, and sneaked a glance at Su Muqiu who was lying on the coffee table weakly doing labor to support the family. After confirming that the other party was not looking at her, she carefully entered the search: Acquired mermaid.

How could Su Muqiu not know what his own sister was doing, but he didn't stop her.

After all, in this era, 'mermaids' have long been commonplace among some people.

Acquired mermaid, mermaid, these are all beautified names.The original name was just like what Ye Xiu asked, it was 'Artificial Mermaid'.

Due to the fluctuation of the sun and the legacy of nuclear weapons used in wars in the old era, it was half a century later that people realized that the fertility rate continued to decline, and it fell below the value warned by scholars decades ago, falling towards the bottom.In addition, the number of girls among newborns has dropped sharply, and cases of sudden sudden deaths of girls under the age of one due to unknown reasons have been increasing, resulting in a continuous decline in the female population. If this continues for hundreds of years, humankind will become extinct.

Top scholars from all over the world were summoned to negotiate, and out of tens of thousands of possibilities to improve the current situation, they selected the most whimsical one at that time, and established a professional project team, which was called "Mermaid Project".

Standing in front of hundreds of live broadcast cameras, the academic responsible for leading the project said this:

'There are mermaids in the world. Under the frenzied flashlight, his expression was calm, and he said something that completely subverted the world view of ordinary civilians: "Actually, the secret departments of the governments of various countries have evidence, and even actually captured mermaids." '

'Among them, female mermaids are the rarest and most powerful—sorry, I mean cells, because the longest survival record of a mermaid captured by humans is only 47 days.You ask, are there any living mermaids now?Still sorry, I don't know. '

'The source cells of female mermaids can be understood as cancer, which will destroy human cells and transform the gene chain into a specific arrangement.Male humans can be surgically implanted with simulated mermaid cells, and the lower body will be transformed into a fish-like caudal fin, with a reproductive cavity, and can be pregnant and give birth normally. It is currently being tested, but there have been successful cases. '

He smiled and reached out to the camera: "We are recruiting volunteers all over the world. '

The mermaid project back then could be said to have been a success, or it could have been a failure.

They did find a way to reproduce humans, and the artificial mermaids gave birth to healthy children without any abnormalities or deformities, but for some reason, only human babies were born.And the artificial mermaid surgery has also established a set of feasible procedures, which can be transformed with only a sum of money, and the success rate is as high as [-]%.After transformation, the appearance of human beings will be optimized to varying degrees. In a word, they will gain tails, fertility, and at the same time be delicate and beautiful.

mermaid.

How novel and interesting.

Although the price of surgery is beyond the reach of ordinary people who work for 100 years without eating or drinking, the upper class still flock to them and take pleasure in raising mermaids. Of course, there are also some who are married because of love and are determined to transform into mermaids for their partners.

Artificial mermaids are all beautiful and young in all photos and records, because their appearance is aging slowly, and they hardly live to be 50 years old.

In addition, they will become inseparable from sea water, and cannot really live in water, and will be between sea and land all their lives.

Because of the emergence of artificial mermaids, many related industries have sprung up. On the streets, you can start to see shops selling inexplicable things such as mermaid robes and sea water. Even high-end department stores in some big cities will specially set up water tanks up to several floors. For mermaid customers, although most of the mermaids have been hidden in the rich man's home since the day they were transformed, and they will never have the opportunity to leave the extravagant fish tank in this life.

Human beings' views on the 'mermaid' have also become quite extreme.The disintegration of nature or the triumph of science, true love or playthings, kind or alien...

Of course, it is impossible to see such an expensive creation and its subsidiary industries in such a small place where Su Muqiu lives.

The existence of acquired mermaids is not a secret, and Su Mucheng will know about it sooner or later.

Su Muqiu leaned against the table and looked at Ye Xiu who turned on the water heater for Su Mucheng without emotion and asked the girl to take a bath and rest early. After confirming that the water was hot enough with Su Mucheng through the bathroom door, he nestled in Su Muqiu On the opposite side, they picked up more than half of the materials and continued to work, ignoring Su Muqiu who was pretending to be dead.

Ye Xiu said that he wanted to see the artificial mermaid.

Su Muqiu sighed.

This person is indeed a psychopath who escaped.

☆、Chapter 2 02: Tail fin swinging in the moonlight

2. Tail fins swinging in the moonlight

Homework is not the main item to maintain the family.

Su Muqiu did not continue to study, and had other part-time jobs to do during the day, but at the end of the day, he brought some odd jobs home to earn more money.

Besides doing labor, Ye Xiu who was picked up used that computer to play games, boost leveling, sell equipment, and surf the Internet to enrich himself during the day.In Su Muqiu's words, "Is it okay to add something to your empty head?"

If he just wanted to see mermaids, Su Muqiu would not have put a label of a psychopath on Ye Xiu's forehead, but Ye Xiu really didn't know anything at first.

Can't use a microwave, can't use a remote, can't use a computer, can't do anything.However, as long as Su Muqiu taught it, or Ye Xiu watched someone else do it once, he would be able to learn it very easily, as if he had done it thousands of times, including playing games. He didn't know how to use it, and when Su Muqiu returned home two days later, he was shocked to find that Ye Xiu had already been able to compete with the grand guild for the boss of the wild map.

It seems a bit too much to attribute to learning ability.

Maybe it's like the feeling of amnesia...?Su Muqiu guessed uncertainly, although judging from Ye Xiu's expression, it was indeed his first time touching these things.

Maybe it's the young master who has fallen from the upper class, Su Muqiu has heard that the upper class people don't use old-style electrical appliances for a long time, and everything can be done with a bracelet.

However, Ye Xiu didn't show any temperament of a young master, and his food and clothing were all casual to the point of casualness. After staying in Su's house, which only had one living room and two bedrooms, he ate and slept with Su Muqiu. Seizing half a single bed, Ye Xiu didn't complain, and lived happily. He probably could accept sleeping in a park without a house.

In addition, Ye Xiu's physical fitness is very good, he can carry heavy loads and stay up late. Although he always looks sluggish and unable to lift his spirits, after a long time, Su Muqiu found that no matter how long he slept or how much he ate, Ye Xiu was always like this. There is no question of whether the state is good or bad.

He has good physical strength and strength, endures hardships without being tired, and can do anything with carrying bricks and tiles. He is simply the best candidate for going out to earn money.

"But why don't you have an ID card!" Su Muqiu gritted his teeth and pinched Ye Xiu.

"I can work..." Ye Xiu quickly fished out a newly learned word from his mind.

"Who is responsible for fines if they are found? What if the boss runs away and doesn't pay?"

"You can't blame me!" Kuroto Yexiu patted Su Muqiu's shoulder, "Okay, let's go out after the trouble, you're going to be late, why don't you change your job from today?"

Su Muqiu slammed the door and left angrily, while Ye Xiu happily turned on the game and started playing games.

Su Muqiu was introduced by an acquaintance, and received a job in the fish market on the wharf.

Labor work always pays more.

There is someone in his family who needs to support him, and it is impossible for him to follow the ocean-going fishing boat without docking for ten days and a half months, so his new job is to go wherever there is a boat docking, helping to carry and organize the catch, and push it to the nearby hundreds of kilometers. The seafood and fish market at the feet are handed over to other people for sale to wholesalers and sporadic individual customers.

Su Muqiu originally thought that this was just a job of carrying things, but on the first day he went to work, he realized that he was completely wrong.

Most of the fishing boats that dock here are offshore fishing boats. The fish, shrimps, and water are so heavy that they will die. There is a small opening, tiny fish scales, shellfish shells and sand and gravel penetrate into the slits of the gloves to cut open the palm of the hand, and when pushing a large ice box full of fish and shrimp, soak in ice slag or sea water, light and light Blood seeped out.

At noon, Su Muqiu took off his gloves, gasped in pain, and lowered his head to look at his palms, but there were several bright red seams in the morning.

The wound wasn't deep, but it was shocking. Su Muqiu himself didn't feel the pain was unbearable. Seeing the wound so ferocious, his heart beat wildly. It hurt more than it actually felt.

He looked at the wound silently, but the people next to him screamed loudly in pain. Su Muqiu turned his head and found that it was a rookie who came the first day like him. fall.He muttered non-stop, trying to distract himself.It seems to be called Huang Shaotian.

"Hey you two, newcomers? Haha, it's right at first glance." Someone smiled generously.

The miserable two rookies looked at the person who was sitting aside and was scrambling to eat the rice. The latter was chewing on the chicken leg and waving chopsticks to make them eat quickly.

"Wait will be more difficult." He giggled, "The sun is even stronger in the afternoon, sweat, sea water, and blood are all soaked up. After the end, I don't even recognize my hands when I get home."

"........."

"If you don't eat enough, you have to add one more, that is to work on an empty stomach. Even if your hands hurt, try to find a way to eat more food."

With just a few words, half of the rest time has already passed. The senior who didn’t know whether it was a taunt or a reminder had already patted his ass and got up and threw away the empty lunch box. He wandered around and bought a can of green tea to drink leisurely. Open the chopsticks and bow your head to stuff the rice.

The second half of the day was indeed more painful. The palms that hadn’t felt much in the morning were numb and itchy, and more painful. When the water-soaked palms pushed the ice box, there was an illusion of warm blood flowing out. Huang Shaotian, who was working with him, babbled Xu Xu said all kinds of things, until later he didn't know what he was talking about, but he was still talking, and Su Muqiu listened to him very seriously, the two of them were sick and sympathetic, so as to ignore the wound on their hands.

In the evening, the gloves of the two were almost pink, and they looked haggard.Probably only the salary is settled on the same day, and it is quite generous, which can heal Su Muqiu's heart a little bit.

During lunch, the senior reminded them to stop the two people who were shuffling away, and gave them a small box in the shape of a round cake.

"This is…"

"The treatment of these wounds is very effective." He pointed to the palms of the two. "When you go to sleep at night, wash your hands, apply ointment, and spread the palms upwards to breathe. It will be much better tomorrow morning. After that, you won't be afraid of calluses."

"Thank you senior!!" The two said hurriedly.

He smiled and said that the old man sounded good, "My name is Wei Chen, you two seem to be serious, you can ask me any questions in the future."

Su Muqiu was tired all day, he didn't want to do anything, and couldn't move his hands.Before Su Mucheng arrived home, he grabbed Ye Xiu who was hard at work brushing copies in front of the computer, and frankly showed him his appalling palms. After receiving Ye Xiu's astonished gaze, he shrugged his shoulders: "That's it, you See for yourself what’s in the refrigerator, and search for recipes or tutorials online.”

"Mu Qiu..."

Su Muqiu was not at ease, and carefully confirmed: "You will make it after watching it once? You won't burn the pot and waste ingredients and make Mucheng miss dinner, right?"

Ye Xiu nodded, "No problem, I can definitely learn it. According to you, you don't want to eat dinner?"

"I have no strength..." Su Muqiu floated into the bathroom, "Besides, how can Mucheng see these wounds, it's too scary."

Behind him, Ye Xiu hesitated to speak.

After taking a hard bath and carefully cleaning the wound, Su Muqiu applied a layer of ointment, and fell asleep as soon as he got on the bed.

The ointment did work. The next morning, Su Muqiu's wound was only aching, and the bleeding stopped, but it still looked quite scary.And Ye Xiu next to him changed his domineering sleeping posture in the past, lying on his side with his legs together, his black hair fell on the pillow, and his expression was peaceful.

Ye Xiu put his hands on Su Muqiu's waist, and he lightly clasped the latter's wrists, so that Su Muqiu's hands could stably keep the wound facing up.

Su Muqiu lay down for a while, then gently broke away from Ye Xiu, got up, washed and went out to work.

When he arrived at the scene, he saw Huang Shaotian circling around Wei Chen wanting to cry without tears, saying, "I used to sleep without turning over, but I don't know what happened last night, but when I woke up, the ointment was rubbed off and I wiped it on." blood all over the sheets".

"If you're overtired and your body hasn't gotten used to it, your muscles will ache over and over again. It's always like this at the beginning." Wei Chen explained, and asked Su Muqiu, "How is it? Did you rest well last night?"

Su Muqiu smiled and nodded.

On the first day, because of Ye Xiu's carefulness, Su Muqiu's wounds healed well, but after that several days passed, Huang Shaotian adapted better and better.Su Muqiu's physique is incompatible with fish, sea water, or ointment ingredients. The wound is always healed and bad, but there is no sign of a callus. Fortunately, he is very tolerant, and the bad thing is that he is very tolerant. Su Muqiu sees I won this job with a high salary and no arrears. I gritted my teeth and refused to resign with my hands full of injuries.

Resigned in just a few days?He is not such a pampered person.

You will get used to it after a while.

He thought so when he washed the blood off his gloves countless times.

As time passed, his condition was discovered by Su Mucheng in less than a month. At that time, Su Muqiu was cleaning up the small fragments in the wound in the bathroom. Su Mucheng thought that there was no one in the bathroom, and saw his brother on the spot The tragic picture of bloody hands -- if Su Muqiu hadn't turned around in time and directly thrust his hand under the water column.

But Su Mucheng still felt that something was wrong with Su Muqiu.

"Mucheng is very worried about you." Lying on the bed, Ye Xiu mentioned, "I made an excuse to take you as you asked, but she grabbed my clothes and asked me to promise that it would be okay to see you with my own eyes. What can I do? Do it?"

"Well…"

"Now that I have concealed it, what will happen next? You can't lie to her, right?"

"Um…"

"Didn't you give me instructions this time?"

"........."

Su Muqiu fell asleep.

Ye Xiu didn't say a word.

Su Muqiu slept soundly.

If death were a feeling, he thought he was pretty much that in his sleeping state.

In deep dark dreams there is no light, no sound, no feeling.

The world is nothingness.

But Su Muqiu 'saw' the tail fin swaying under the moonlight, the silvery tail fin spread out like a luxurious fan, showing deep and shallow blue and sparkling waves in the sea water and moonlight.It brought a few quiet water splashes and slid into the deep sea again.

He seemed to hear a familiar voice muttering to himself: "Bah, it's so astringent", "Wait, did this guy wash his hands after going to the toilet before going to bed?"

There was also a pair of slightly cool hands, lightly holding his palms, some moist and soft object rubbed against the numb and painful wound, and the irritability of being bitten by thousands of ants in his hands was replaced by comfort.

For several nights in a row, Su Muqiu's dreams were all about the ocean and tail fins. When he opened his eyes, everything in his dreams melted away like foam under the sun, leaving no traces.

A few days later, Su Muqiu's palm had already healed, and the speed of recovery was astonishing, even smooth, without a trace of scar.But at the same time, he felt that the palm seemed to be thicker, and some fragments that had scratched his hand did not cause much harm anymore, but Su Muqiu looked at Huang Shaotian who occasionally held his palm and wept, wondering if this was an illusion.

Maybe it's just that he found the essentials of this part-time job...?

Su Muqiu didn't realize that on the day when the wound started to heal, he never used that box of ointment again.

☆、Chapter 3 03: Shining scales

3. Shiny scales

The work in the fish market is getting smoother and smoother, and Su Muqiu is free to think about other things at work.

For example, he smells like a fish at all... Su Muqiu lowered his head and sniffed, his expression twisted instantly.

And what to cook tonight.

Ye Xiu's culinary skills are amazing. Every dish he cooks is close to the level of a hotel chef. After all, he learned it from watching the videos of those chefs cooking.But Su Mucheng and Ye Xiu unanimously raised their hands in favor, welcoming the recovered Su to return to his position.

两人这么爱戴他，苏沐秋觉得蛮感动的，于是伸手又揍了叶修一顿。

"Su Muqiu, what are you doing!" Ye Xiu hid behind the sofa holding his head.

Su Muqiu: "I think you're just lazy to cook!!"

"How could it be?" Ye Xiu quickly explained: "The dishes I cook are all imitations, they have no soul! Your dishes are delicious."

"Oh..." Su Muqiu clenched his fists: "It means that you gave Mucheng and me food without soul for so long, right?"

"Your Majesty, have mercy!" Ye Xiu bowed.

The two started fighting in the not-so-spacious living room. Ye Xiu ran behind Su Mucheng in a flash. The little girl smiled and pulled the horrified Ye Xiu out to her grinning brother.In the end, this heavy responsibility returned to Su Muqiu, and Ye Xiu, who wanted to cry without tears, held his forehead and was ordered to take turns.

The small family of only three people is on track. Under normal circumstances, Su Mucheng is at the top of the food chain, and the two of them take her well-being as the highest goal. As for special circumstances, Su Muqiu has the final decision-making power.Ye Xiu's status continued to fluctuate.

Su Muqiu still wanted Ye Xiu to earn money for board and lodging, and Ye Xiu still wanted to see the mermaid, but no one ever mentioned leaving.

By coincidence, Ye Xiu also found a job that didn't require an ID card.

During the day and early in the morning, he would help the old men and women at the nearby vegetable stalls, and the latter would give him some ingredients and some pocket money in return. In the afternoon, he would go home and continue his power leveling.

As for Su Mucheng, who also wanted to help support the family, the two elder brothers agreed that her task was the heaviest, that is, to study hard and earn a lot of money in the future. Take care.

However, as the off-season entered and the fishing ban approached, Su Muqiu considered looking for other jobs.

On the way home, he was thinking about what kind of job would be more suitable. There were no people on the street under heavy rain, which made his thoughts go a little bit off, and suddenly turned to the day when he met Ye Xiu for the first time.

According to Su Muqiu's observation, Ye Xiu is not afraid of rain, maybe he likes to get wet in the rain, because he is crazy after all.But when it rains, he can't help but pinch his calves and rub his knees. Could it be that he has rheumatism at such a young age...

Assuming this is the case, then this problem is very serious, but maybe Ye Xiu, a criminal, can't go to the clinic to see a doctor?

Thinking wildly, Su Muqiu hung the umbrella outside the door, opened the door dripping wet, and saw Ye Xiu, looking cool after taking a shower, spreading his skills in front of the computer, and found that Su Muqiu came back, just Raising an eyebrow at him, let alone taking off the earphones, she didn't even stop her hands.

Su Muqiu grabbed the dripping trousers and got into the bathroom, deciding to clean up Ye Xiu later, since people don't run away anyway.

Ye Xiu used the bathroom not long ago, and there was still a warm, warm humidity in it. Su Muqiu took off the wet clothes and threw them into the basket. He raised his voice and asked Ye Xiu to send a set of clothes to the bathroom immediately. Just grabbed a towel from the shelf to dry off the rain.

Su Muqiu wiped his face and put down his hands, but was stunned for a moment when he saw himself in the mirror, frowning and leaned closer to the mirror to look at him.

There was a thin bloodstain under the corner of his eye, and the blood dripped slowly, Su Muqiu stroked it with his fingertips, and he wiped it away, leaving a bright red mark at the end of the eye.

The wound was fresh, but Su Muqiu didn't have the slightest impression.

"Strange, when did you get hurt?" Su Muqiu muttered, spreading out the towel to check if there was any blood on it.

The moment the towel was unfolded, a small object reflecting light fell into the washbasin, making a small but crisp crashing sound.Su Muqiu picked it up suspiciously, and saw that it was a scale shining under the bathroom light, with a diameter of about one centimeter, and it would be overlooked if you were not careful.If you look at it against the light, you will find that the scale is almost translucent.

The surface of the fish scales is dry, it is hard to tell whether it is gray or silver white, as if a thin layer of dust has fallen on it, making people want to wash it off and take a look.So Su Muqiu did just that. He turned on the water to clean the scales, and as a result, the scales were submerged in the water, and they turned faintly silvery blue. With the change of light and angle, the shades varied from sky blue to dark blue, but he took out the water and wiped it dry. It was gray and inconspicuous again.

This thing is like some kind of delicate glazed handicraft, Su Muqiu subconsciously bent the scale, but with all his strength, the seemingly thin and fragile scale was only slightly curved.

After working in the fish market for so long, it was the first time for Su Muqiu to see such beautiful scales.

It was probably brought back by accident while walking around, but I don't know what kind of fish scales it is.

He casually put the scales aside and dried his hair with a towel. At this time, Ye Xiu opened the door and handed over the clothes. They were all men and there was nothing to tangle with. Su Muqiu took it generously, but Ye Xiu gave him an extra look.

"What are you doing?" Su Muqiu hung the towel back on the shelf, bent over to put on the clothes.

Ye Xiu said it was okay, and reached out to wipe away the blood from the corner of Su Muqiu's eyes.

"By the way, Su Muqiu, you used someone else's towel and hung it up without washing it?"

Su Muqiu was taken aback, and turned his head to see that the three towels hanging on the shelf were bought at a discount. The colors and styles were exactly the same, but different patterns were embroidered on the corners to distinguish them, which were the words orange, leaf and autumn.

Su Muqiu hung the towel back on the rack, and the crooked green leaf pattern was verdant.

☆、Chapter 4 04: Eyes of the Mermaid

4. Eyes of the Mermaid

Su Muqiu tightened his gloves, wiped his sweat casually, and heaved a long breath when he heard the shout announcing the end of the day's work.

He returned to the dressing room, and chatted casually with Huang Shaotian who was packing up his things. He was reaching out to check the time on his phone, but his fingertip touched a small smooth object.

It was the scales that fell out of the towel earlier.

The dry scales are gray, but the surface layer has a silvery luster, which is not as eye-catching as when it is immersed in water.

What kind of fish scales are these?

Su Muqiu thought seriously, if this kind of unknown fish was not expensive, he would buy one and take it home. The flesh of the fish is edible, and the scales are good-looking, so he can leave it to Mucheng.

Maybe it was because his expression was too serious, Wei Chen and Huang Shaotian, who were about to go home from get off work, couldn't help leaning over, and followed him to look at the little scales in his palm.

"What what? What is that? Scales? The scales of something look dirty." Huang Shaotian whispered to Wei Chen.

Wei Chen muttered and replied: "I don't know, I can't tell what kind of scales it is."

Two big living people were whispering from left to right at the back of his head, it would be strange if he didn't notice, Su Muqiu simply raised his hand to let the two of them see more clearly: "Do you know what kind of fish scales these are? ?”

Asking questions, Su Muqiu's inquiring eyes were only on Wei Chen. After all, he was a senior who made a living by the pier, and he probably had more than hundreds of thousands of fish in his hands over the years, so he was well-informed.

Sure enough, Wei Chen approached, frowned and observed for a while, as if thinking of something, he was about to speak, then shook his head and muttered.He repeated this process, and countless possible answers slipped through his mind, all of which were rejected one by one by himself, after a few sentences of 'the size is wrong', 'or... hmm?The shape doesn't quite resemble it...', 'Could it be...but that kind of fish is not this color' After that, Wei Chen spread his hands, expressing that he couldn't help.

"I think I've seen it before, but I can't remember it!" Wei Chen clicked his tongue, "Probably some fish scales."

"Senior Wei doesn't know?" Su Muqiu didn't care.

"Wait!" Wei Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his thigh, revealing a sudden expression with a light bulb on his forehead: "I remember! I saw that somewhere before!"

"Where?" Su Muqiu asked casually, not too curious

"Um...yes, that jewelry store on the street!" Wei Chen looked determined, and his tone was quite confident: "Isn't this the jewelry that was launched earlier, called 'Mermaid Eyes', it's a bit different from the one in your hand." Like."

Su Muqiu usually only pays attention to current affairs, prices and other more practical things. He is completely worried about luxury advertisements. Even if the mermaid series jewelry that Wei Chen mentioned is famous, Su Muqiu is not interested.

What's more, where did he accidentally bring home jewelry from the jewelry store?Not to mention that Su Muqiu is very sure that the thing in his hand is not a gem.Since Wei Chen didn't recognize him, Su Muqiu shrugged his shoulders and forgot, and didn't intend to go any further. Unexpectedly, Huang Shaotian let out an ah, pointed at the scales with shaking hands, jumped and shouted, "That's right! That's it!"

"What?"

"Mermaid!" Huang Shaotian carefully restrained his voice, his expression excited: "This is the scale of a mermaid!!"

Su Muqiu was stunned.

The mermaid is like a legend in this poor little place. Huang Shaotian dared not speak out, because if he shouted that Su Muqiu had mermaid scales on his hands, rumors would start spreading around a hundred miles around Su Muqiu tomorrow that Su Muqiu was a rich man who raised a dog. Mermaid, causing no small trouble.

But he could do something else instead of shouting, he grabbed Su Muqiu and shook him violently to express his excitement, but the latter kicked him away cruelly.

Wei Chen was surprised, but he was not looking at what was said to be mermaid scales, but towards Huang Shaotian: "Hey! Shaotian, have you seen a mermaid?"

"I've seen it." Huang Shaotian said mysteriously, "Let me tell you secretly, I used to have a classmate's mother... ouch, his father is a mermaid! I only found out when I went to his house to play, if it wasn't for our relationship Tie, I don’t think I have a chance to go to his house.”

"Who are you fooling?" Wei Chen didn't believe it. "Generally, if there are mermaids in the house, how can outsiders see them? Aren't mermaids are kept in gold-plated and diamond-studded water tanks and hidden under their armpits? You can watch it if you want."

Huang Shaotian shook his head, "You don't know that, their two fathers are the so-called true love union, and they can live freely.
