How to keep a human in captivity

Mermaid Janford.

He is known by the merfolk as Janford with two heads.

Oh actually, he does have two heads.

He uses one head to pretend to be stupid and avoid thinking, and the other to be really stupid.

This sounds oddly unreliable.

But the mermaids still insist that two heads are smarter than one, just as two long-toothed fish are better than one long-toothed fish.

So the two-headed Jamford is also known as the wise and wise Jamford.

There is even such a nursery rhyme circulating among mermaids:

what

smart and wise jenford

great jamford

great pioneer

the great mermaid scientist jamford

Rumor has it that the ballad was written by Jamford himself and taught to a group of little mermaids, who were paid a whole longtoothed fish.

This has to mention another point, the taste of the mermaid Zhanford is really not that good. At the end of the year, he was always rated as the person with the lowest taste among the mermaids, and he was not allowed to stand up.

But whatever his taste, he was a scientist.

He has many inventions, although these inventions have been proved to be untimely and useless, this still cannot stop him as a scientist from the enthusiasm for invention.

He has a beloved invention that could almost be called a major turning point in the history of mermaids.He built a small bionic system that can automatically decompose H2O in seawater to generate oxygen. He tried to complete a complete atmospheric cycle, but unfortunately all he can do now is a cyclic oxygen supply system.

But it doesn't matter, please allow me to introduce you grandly.

- Heart of Gold

From the outside, the Heart of Gold looks like an oval glass cylinder that has been cut in half.

I told you that Jamford's taste is not very good.

But the Heart of Gold is still Jamford's greatest invention, not one of them for now.

It has an independent set of oxygen supply circulation system, which can support short-distance submarine navigation, and can also achieve 380-degree rotation somersaults.Oh, I guess the people who live there won't like that last bit.

Zhanford generously contributed his invention, when Ford informed him that the mermaids were about to have a human being in captivity.

Zhanford's two heads came together excitedly and asked Ford, in fact, they have a little bit of blood relationship: "So, can I meet that human being?"

"Actually, I think he's a bit dangerous." Ford the black fish said with lingering fear as he touched his neck.

"It's unfounded," pointed out one of Janford's heads, while the other added, "Humans are fragile and small, they don't even have gills."

This is of course the truth of the mermaids, Ford was convinced, and he nodded.

"They can't survive on the bottom of the sea, so they need my Heart of Gold." Jamford bumped his two heads together, excitedly turning around in his invention, "Come on, Ford, help me Hands, we have to prepare something for humans."

So when Ford towed the Heart of Gold to the surface, the Heart of Gold looked more than just a transparent glass tank.

It has a small piece of crumpled seaweed curtain, the mermaids know that humans like to have their own privacy, so they generously allowed this, but in fact, since the entire Golden Heart is made of transparent glass, this A small piece of curtain doesn't really do anything.They couldn't even drain the stuff without Jamford's help.Draining is tricky enough at the bottom of the ocean, so thanks again to our merman scientist, Janford.

Next, Ford placed a drained bed of shells in the heart of gold.

Finally, and most importantly, Ford had selected one of the most beautiful mussel beads in Arthur's collection, which they prepared for human beings to pass the time and use for entertainment.

Everything was ready, and the two mermaids watched the humans on the reef with eager eyes.

The Heart of Gold and the human beings were finally placed in the center of the Mermaid Square, and hordes of mermaids flocked here.

They haven't seen humans in centuries?

Jenford has already started handing out a seaweed book called A Guide to Getting Along with Humans, which thankfully has more than just a preface chapter.

He also thoughtfully presented Arthur with a copy of "How to Make Your Human Body and Mind Happy♂". By the way, why is the seaweed on the cover of this book pink?

The mermaids started to get together in twos and threes to read the seaweed books in their hands. They were very polite creatures, and they would not point fingers at humans until they understood the etiquette of getting along with humans.

"So..." Arthur was holding two seaweed books, flipping through one of them with some difficulty, he followed the instructions in the book and asked, "What do you think of the weather today?"

Discussing the weather with your humans is one of the common ways humans communicate.

The human John withdrew his gaze from observing the other mermaids. He remained silent most of the time, so as to constantly evaluate his current situation in his heart.

Arthur looked at his human being full of expectation. He was waiting for his human being to say that the weather is good today or the weather is bad today and the wind is very strong. The topic, well, that's right.

But his humans didn't seem interested in communicating about the weather. He even raised a question to Arthur: "I don't know how you know today's weather conditions at the bottom of the sea."

"The books say you humans talk about this when you meet."

"Actually." Human John pressed his palm against the glass wall, "We can talk about something else."

Arthur was a little puzzled by this, but he still put away the book and tucked it under his arm: "Okay."

"You just have to tell me right or wrong."

"It sounds simple." Arthur tugged and returned to the seaweed towel around his neck, telling his human, I'm ready.

The human John smiled back, and began to ask: "You live in groups on the bottom of the sea and feed on fish?"

"Yes, we like the longtooth and hate the shortbill, their flesh is always sour and hard."

"From the outside, you have almost no gender distinction, but some mermaids don't have webbed hands, is it a genetic mutation or a gender characteristic?"

"They're female."

"Then the rumor is true, nimble fingers facilitate weaving, and you produce gauze."

"Uh, um, yes."

"But you seldom use gauze for daily necessities." The human glanced at the crumpled seaweed curtain, "That proves that gauze is not produced in large quantities. I guess gauze is more precious."

"Uh, generally speaking, it's a dowry prepared by a female mermaid for herself."

"That's reasonable. The bride needs to prepare something special for herself." The human nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Now is the time when most male mermaids go out to hunt, and the total number of you is about two hundred."

"Oh, oh... have to say, how do you know that?"

"Through some simple inferences, most of the mermaids here are females and juvenile mermaids. Based on the calculation based on certain tribe distribution rules, considering that it is not easy for you to obtain food, the value of the entire race is not difficult to calculate."

"I don't know human beings like this." Arthur was dizzy by the speed of his own human speech, and he had to admit that the other party's voice was very listenable, "However, this is great, I mean, you are amazing. "

"It's just some simple observation and reasoning." His human replied humbly in a hoarse and magnetic voice.

Then they take a short rest.

Arthur made some sashimi for his humans, and he was sorry that was all he could offer at the moment.

"It doesn't matter." His human comforted him, "Human eating is an act of ingesting energy that is necessary to ensure the normal operation of the body, and it usually has nothing to do with the taste of food."

This sounds strange.

thought Arthur.

The mermaids were wandering around, and they didn't come to disturb the conversation between Arthur and his own humans. They had already heard that they were Arthur's humans.

Then they have to show enough respect during Arthur's time with humans.

This is the key point in the "Guide to Getting Along with Humans". At any time, don't disturb your companions' getting along with humans.

Adult mermaids are open to opinions, but little mermaids don't think so, their curiosity is as exuberant as a human eight-year-old child.

They hesitated and swam to the side of the Heart of Gold, and asked Arthur to communicate with humans.

Arthur and his humans allowed this.

The human beings communicated with the little mermaids seriously and dealt with all kinds of weird questions they raised, and finally danced an impromptu dance for them.

Oh, this is really...

Arthur rubbed his face.

Having a human is indeed a wonderful thing.

The author has something to say:

What about the tyrannical, cool and handsome Khan that was promised!

Forgive me, the BC in my head is dancing at the thought of being able to put Khan in a glass tank - the behind-the-scenes footage hurts [No excuses please!

Silently covering his face, the author started to collapse again [He Qiyi, hello!

Serious Pierce: We all know in the movie that Khan cares about his crew of 72, and that's his family and he has a responsibility to them.I'm trying to recreate the relationship so don't think about restoring Khan's memory until the two of them have a family bond

One more happy piece: I guess I will have a few more chapters =W=
