The Mermaid of the Deep Sea

If Derby's home is only remote, then Nathaniel's residence is simply a mystery. Lei Boding never knew that the reefs can also be twisted and twisted like a maze. For the first time when the eccentric Nathaniel's lodgings belonged, he felt his tail wagging tired.

Looking at the destination he had worked so hard to reach, Lei Boting couldn't help curling his lips. Is this where the mermaid lives?It was a huge pile of dust, surrounded by messy reefs and tangled water plants.This kind of messy and dark energy, if you don't look carefully, you can't find where the door is and where the window is.

Just as Lei Boting took a breath and was about to knock on the door, he was startled by a sinister voice behind him, "Boy, who are you looking for?"

It was only at this time that Lei Boting realized that mermaids would also have goosebumps. He shook his head and looked at the mermaid that was stuck behind him at some point, before saying, "You, you are Naza Neil?"

The other side glanced at Lei Boding expressionlessly, and swam around him towards the door, "Yes, what do you want? Come in."

Well, although his attitude was not very good, it was not as bad as he thought. Lei Boting hesitated at the dark door and followed Nathaniel into his mysterious hut.

After entering Nathaniel's hut, Lei Boding realized that if the reef and seaweed outside were just messy, then the inside of the house was a mess like a hurricane passing through.

Nathaniel saw Lei Boting followed him into the house, and didn't tell him to sit down, but asked in a hoarse voice, "It's been a long time since a mermaid came to my place, tell me, what do you want? "

"Uh, I want some wound medicine." Reverting his eyes from looking at the room, Lei Boting looked at Nathaniel and explained his reason for coming, "The kind of ointment that can heal deep wounds."

After hearing this, Nathaniel didn't turn around to look for it, but looked at Lei Boding with lifeless eyes, "Boy, are you here to play with me?"

"What do you mean by that?" Lei Boting was stunned.

"All the mermaids who come to me to exchange things don't want to exchange rare items, but you came to me just to get medicine for wounds?! Don't you know that mermaid saliva can heal wounds?" Nassar Neil felt that what Lei Boding said was simply insulting him, his dull eyes finally took on a look of anger, and his tail slapped the ground heavily, "You think I'm a place for you little rascals to relax? ?"

"Oh, of course not." Lei Boting quickly waved his hand, quickly took out a small bag made of gauze, and poured out a few pearls and gold coins inside, "I'm very sincere, really. Of course I Know that mermaid saliva can heal wounds, but, well, man, you always have to understand that sometimes accidents happen. There are times when saliva doesn't work, right? I'm really sincere in exchange Medicine."

I don't know whether it was the light of the pearls and gold coins that moved Nathaniel or Leiberdin's sincerity made him feel that the other party was not kidding him. He finally stopped slapping the ground with his tail and quickly collected the pearls and gold coins. , turned around and rummaged while rummaging, "Okay, since you are so sincere, then I will change with you."

Clinking, Lei Boding watched Nathaniel looking around in his pile of debris as high as a hill, and suddenly began to doubt whether his decision to come here was really right.

"Oh, little guy, you are here, you can go to a better place today, I will miss you." After searching for a long time, Nathaniel finally found a shell happily and then used a broken gong The voice said to Lei Boting, "Take it, this is a good thing."

Looking at Nathaniel's messy hair like seaweed, and the big innocent tail in the gaps between the fish scales, which is completely different from the shiny tail of other mermaids, Lei Boding hesitated again—— Shouldn't you be here at all?Is there really anything good for such a scruffy mermaid?

However, although Nathaniel is so unscrupulous about personal hygiene, his eyes are sharp. He noticed that Lei Boting looked at him with some disgust and suspicion, and he was dissatisfied immediately. Yi received, "Boy, what kind of eyes are you looking at? Are you looking down on me? Or are you looking down on my things? Well, don't forget about it, but I want to tell you that I will not return your pearls and gold coins to you. "

"I want it, why don't I want it anymore." Lei Boding was always quick. He took the shell from Nathaniel and asked as he swam out, "How do I use the stuff inside?"

Although I really wanted to drive this annoying guy out of my home, I still took his few good-looking pearls and gold coins. Although Nathaniel was impatient, he still said in a rough voice, "Just touch it That's it, once a day!"

"Okay, thank you buddy!" After hearing this, Lei Boting waved his hands and quickly wandered away from Nathaniel's house. The indescribable smell inside was really offensive!

After swimming for a long time, Lei Boding stopped. He opened the shell in his hand and found that it was a transparent viscous liquid. After sniffing it, there was no special smell. Lei Boting said to himself, " Is this expensive thing useful or not?"

After looking at it for a while, Lei Boding closed the shell, and put aside the doubts in his heart. Anyway, Ivor and the others did not say that any mermaid exchanged from Nathaniel was useless, although Nathaniel saw It sounds pretty ugly, and the personal hygiene is not good, but in general, don't you say that the weirder people are the more informal in the books, let's give it a try.

Having figured it out, Lei Boding patted his tail and swam towards the fishing area - he didn't take Derby yesterday and the day before yesterday, and if he didn't get anything today, Derby should go find seaweed again.

Lei Boding belongs to the category of people with strong learning ability, so now he can catch fish well instead of catching fish in tatters and no appearance.

Lei Boting, who was more and more satisfied with his skills, knocked on Derby's house with a few fish and the shell, "Derby, it's me, Lei Boting, are you home?"

The door opened quickly, behind the door was Derby's smiling face, "Of course I'm at home, why are you here?"

Lei Boding hid the shells behind his back, then raised the fish in his hand to signal Derby, "I got some tuna, the meat is very firm."

After this period of contact, Derby has become very close to Lei Boting, and he turned sideways to let Lei Boting in, "I haven't finished eating the fish you gave me last time, don't bring it again."

"Haven't finished eating yet? Why is your stomach so small?" Lei Boting was dissatisfied when he heard that, and then he waved his hand boldly, "Hey, don't eat the ones that you can't finish, it's not fresh, it's not good for your body. Well, let’s eat this fresh one.”

Derby didn't quite agree with Lei Boding's proposal, "How can you not eat it? What a waste, you still caught it hard."

Lei Boting put the fish where Derby always put the fish, turned around and took a sip of the water soaked in sea sweet leaves that Derby poured for him before he said, "Oh, then you continue to eat those, eat them. Isn't it stale after it's over?"

As soon as Lei Boting said that, Derby thought of this, he lowered his head and hooked his two index fingers together, and looked at Lei Boting with his clear sea blue eyes, "Why don't you take these home, so that they won't be wasted. "

Lei Boding raised his eyebrows, "This was originally brought to you, how can I take it back?"

"Then what should I do?" Derby's pretty eyebrows frowned, "It's really a waste to throw away these uneaten fish. I used to eat seaweed when I was hungry. How can I waste it now that I have fish?"

I learned from Ivor and Raffle before that Derby is only two years younger than Lei Boting, but the long life of living alone and his own soft personality make Derby still maintain a pure heart, and he has seen all kinds of people in society. The unruly Lei Boding will always be defeated by his innocent eyes when facing the Derby who is like a blank sheet of paper.

Lei Boting raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, how about I take half of the fish you didn't eat before, and keep the half of the fish caught today, is that okay?" Seeing Derby opened his mouth and wanted to object, Lei Boting simply made a final decision, "Okay, that's it."

Derby was left speechless by Lei Boding talking to himself, "I haven't said anything yet."

Lei Boding pretended not to hear Derby's soft complaints, and said, "By the way, I brought you something nice today." After finishing speaking, he paused, "Well, I'm not sure if this is nice one."

Lei Boding's words aroused Derby's curiosity, "Huh? What is it?"

Lei Boding stretched out the hand behind his back, "This."

"Shell?" Derby glanced at the thing in Lei Boding's hand and was stunned for a moment.

"Of course it's not just the shell." Lei Boding said as he opened the shell, "I'm talking about the things inside the shell."

"Oh..." Derby leaned forward to look a little uncertainly, raised his head after a while and asked Lei Boding, "What's in here?"

"Well, the wound medicine." While speaking, Lei Boding pointed to the slow-healing wound on Derby's arm, "The wound medicine used to treat the wound on your arm."

However, Lei Boding's answer made Derby pause, and he hung his head for a long time without moving.

The sudden silence of Derby made Lei Boding a little uneasy. He didn't know whether it was his words or actions that inadvertently hurt this sensitive mermaid. He stepped forward and touched Derby's shoulder, "Hey, How are you guys?"

Because of Lei Boting's actions, Derby raised his head. At this moment, Lei Boding noticed Derby's red eyes, which made him a little panicked, "Derby, what's wrong with you?"

Although his eyes were flushed, Derby still showed a big smile and shook his head vigorously, "It's nothing." After speaking, he pointed to the ointment in Lei Boting's hand, "Where did you find it?"

It could be seen that Derby didn't want to continue the topic just now, so Lei Boting thoughtfully didn't continue to ask, he shook the shell in his hand gently, and gave different answers, "I found it from home, probably I Dad kept it, Ivor and Raffle said it can be used to treat wounds, and the effect is not bad, so I brought it to you to try."

Derby froze for a moment after hearing this, lowered his eyes and raised them again, "Thank you, Lei Boding."

Lei Boding waved his hand proudly, "Thank you, your hand was injured because of me, as long as it can make your wound heal quickly, you should do whatever you want. Watching you procrastinate every day God knows how guilty I am for doing things so inconveniently with my injured hand." He said and handed the shell to Derby's hand, "Wipe and see."

Derby looked down at the shell handed to him, nodded with his lips pursed, "Yeah."

"Hey, spread it evenly and lightly."

"Yes, you can apply a little more there, right, right, right there..."

Considering Derby's introverted character, Lei Boting was not enthusiastic enough to apply the ointment to the opponent himself, but the desire for control in his bones still made him stretch his neck to instruct Derby how to apply the ointment on his arm, and Derby was also obedient He came according to Lei Boding's instructions.

Seeing that Derby had finished applying the ointment, Lei Boding remembered what Nathaniel said again, so he said, "Natha—er, no, Ralph and Ivor said that this ointment can be applied once a day. Yes, you have to remember to wipe it every day."

Derby nodded honestly, "I know."

Lei Boding nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the darkening water outside, got up from the stone pier and said with his tail, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, and you should go to bed early, and remember to wipe off on time." medicine."

Derby got up and sent Lei Boding to the door, "I see, you should be careful on the road."

Lei Boding waved his hand, "Got it, I'll see you again when I have time."

After watching Lei Boding's peacock-green fishtail disappear at the bend of the reef, Derby turned around and went back to his little room, picked up the ordinary shell, and Derby's expression became a little sad for some reason.
