【Boom Out】Mermaid

Newborn tender light yellow scales grow on the tail of the fish, and slowly transform into a more mature golden color in the heavy footsteps and old newspapers day after day. He looks like a youthful fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy with a murderous heart, and he dares to enter the most dangerous mermaid arena before changing his scales, and finally he is fierce in the slaughterhouse. They will always be in the appearance that is most attractive to human beings. They are beautiful, weird and handsome. They are the ultimate deep-sea creations that all men and women who have seen cannot deny it. They are sirens who can cause storms and love in mythology. .

And this golden mermaid, which is at the top of the food chain even in the mermaid's jungle social law, is still a domestic fish that occasionally gets angry because the young owner is confused and feeds it leftovers. Gu forcefully held down his tail and measured his body length in the fish tank. He used a sheepskin coiled rope that the proprietress didn't want. Green Gu carefully recorded the small fish that grew 1.3 inches, and recorded the data of this fresh out of the water one stroke at a time. It is written on the back of an old newspaper, next to his height data, he has grown 3.7 inches, much faster than this little fish that does not eat leftovers, the mermaid has a strong learning ability, it has been able to understand the height of 1.3 inches A lot of numbers belonged to him, and the other number "3.7" belonged to the little man in front of him who looked at the data and pursed his mouth subtly and became happy.

This mermaid has a more precise sensitivity to the outcome than a scale. Even if its brain is not much bigger than the walnuts that Green Valley was reluctant to eat yesterday, it can quickly judge that it has lost to the opponent by almost twice the difference. This malnourished little bastard with haggard hair!

Mermaid feels challenged!

This old newspaper that was collected by Green Valley to record some words and numbers is a piece of glossy paper that is very luxurious in this seaside town, because it can be waterproof, and it has a layer of shiny waxy paper under the dim kerosene lamp. Glossy, the wick the size of a bean emits black coal smoke that has not been completely burned, and the light dimly illuminates the huge black headline of the newspaper——

——[….The king asked fishermen all over the country to start looking for mysterious sea creatures….In order to sacrifice to God, pray for the protection of the earth….]

The densely packed small characters seem to be very eye-catching. It says that there are already [-] giant ships in preparation, in order to conquer the legendary high seas of Mermede, where no one survives, and bring light and wealth to everyone, even though everyone doesn’t know it. Consuming the flesh and blood of countless people to fill this deep sea like a bottomless pit, what kind of light and wealth can it bring, but those who said that the king was selfish and disregarded the life and death of the crew for the sake of selfish desires disappeared silently. The next two voices, the voice of the king and the voice of obeying the king.

The angry fish rushed over from behind the green valley, slid down the smooth oil paper, and the increasingly sharp scales of the fish instantly cut through the words on the newspaper [Currently, 17 ships are ready to sail, and there are [-] ships left. The giant wheel...] ​​In this line, Lugu followed the fish that suddenly attacked him at a loss, and as expected, his hand was cut open by the opened scales, and the blood dripped down, blurring the writing behind, and recorded it with a pencil on the back of the newspaper His height data was also cut off by fish scales. Green Valley already had a deep understanding of the bad temper of this fish, but looked at his treasured newspaper with a sad face and sighed, and put the fish back into the fish tank.

His face is full of melancholy that does not match his age. The wine in the wine cellar is decreasing at an unprecedented rate. Every day he is awakened by the sound of wooden barrels colliding. Frowning, he tidied and folded the wine barrels, which were spirits prepared for the ships. In just one month, more than half of the spirits had been lost.

Their town doesn't have any big ships, but they are only responsible for providing wine, pickled vegetables, and air-dried smoked meat sprinkled with sea salt to the ships passing by and stopping at the port. They confiscated a large ship in various names, and together with this group of well-trained and high-ranking royal crew, in the name of conquering the light, they shipped it to the deep high seas of Melmed. The more spirits were requisitioned for free, the price of the remaining wine was Higher up, the sailors were full of complaints, the tramps were ready to move, and the tavern full of drunken sailors smelled so strong that gunpowder could be ignited without a fuse, and it could be ignited in a taunt if you can’t afford it. She also had a terrible headache, and the door and chairs of the tavern had been kicked several times, and the latest conflict had reached the point where someone drew a knife against her.

——The price can no longer be raised, and even the stairwell where Green Valley is located was kicked and damaged several times in the large-scale fights, otherwise the child reacted quickly and hid under the bed with the fish tank in his arms to escape the catastrophe. This child related to the mermaid might be pulled out by these animals and killed to vent their anger.

You can't expect much humanity from a group of drunk beasts. They can smash a vase in the shape of a mermaid and put it against her neck, making her let go of the wine cellar for the wine to come out. She can't let it go, her back seeps Layer after layer of cold sweat, gritted teeth and bluff, people at sea cannot do without alcohol, especially in this kind of cold winter weather when the port is about to be closed and frozen, without high-concentration spirits at sea is equivalent to wearing only a pair of clothes. Thin summer clothes are going to be frozen to death on the deck by the sea breeze, and the group of people who are sailing can only force her to open the wine cellar if they want to survive——

——But the next royal ship that comes to get the wine will arrive at the port of the town in at most ten days. If she can't get it out, she won't survive the next month. She heard that the knights on the ship will punish them for failing to provide items The man slaughtered his head on the spot in front of the residents of the town, and rolled his head into the sea amidst their laughter. The woman was stripped naked and dragged onto the ship amidst the laughter. If there was no strong wine to warm the body , then use her body to warm the bodies of these crew members.

She was desperate, she had no way out, in the smashed-up messy tavern, only the proprietress, who was described as haggard, was still drunk. She walked lightly to the wine cellar where she was born. She was an orphan, her mother was a wine brewer, and she was born after being raped by the original owner of the tavern. In the wine cellar, the pregnant woman didn't know what to do. She bit the cotton cloth wetted by alcohol, and clasped her fingers tightly on the edge of the opened coconut wine barrel. She could only use alcohol to numb her overwhelming pain. The boss knew about her birth, and the boss, who was over half a century old, had his first offspring. He was very happy to have this daughter, and he married the brewing woman.

—and then when she was 12 years old, she saw her mother sitting in front of the carved mirror with empty and sad eyes and smiling goodbye to her, and that night was a fire, which was lit from her parents' bedroom After the fire was extinguished, people who came to see her said that her parents must have died from drinking too much alcohol before going to bed and spilled it on the quilt. The quilt was full of alcohol smell. Nod, inherited the bistro.

She walked staggeringly, pausing at each step, holding a half-empty glass wine bottle in her hand, with tears in her eyes as if there were no tears in her eyes. She walked down the third floor of the basement where she was born. The stairwell was suddenly opened, and a person protruded. The little furry head looked up at her worriedly, the proprietress froze for a moment, she fell and sat on the stairs, the wine bottle rolled down the stairs, and was picked up by Green Valley clumsily, he squatted quietly on her In front of her, she handed the wine bottle to her, and she suddenly remembered that she did not come today to remember to feed the hidden cub. The anxiety of imminent death made her full of viciousness and exhaustion that could not be vented. She leaned against the wall with tears in her eyes, With red hair hanging on her exposed snow-white shoulders, she squinted at the skinny child with a mean smile and scolded him inarticulately:

"You bastard, why didn't you starve to death! My mother hasn't fed you for several days, why didn't you starve to death!"

She murmured absentmindedly: "Why don't you die, what will I do with you, how will you survive—"

She seemed to be mad, grabbed Lu Gu's shoulders and shook desperately, opened her bloodshot eyes wide, and the veins on her neck were pulsating, she asked him hoarsely:

"Do you hate me! Do you want me to die! I am not good to you at all, your mother is a good person, but I am very bad to you, you take this torch and go down, go to the third floor, kick out the inside One of them, belch, barrel, after you see some liquid come out, you light it, and you can kill me, this vicious woman!"

She could not stop sobbing: "—die, you die with me, or you will be arrested too, bastard, it doesn't hurt to die in wine."

Green Valley was stunned, his shoulders seemed to be crushed, he clumsily tried to wipe away the tears of this crying woman, just like he once did to his mother, but his shoulders were too painful , her hands began to tremble when she raised it, and she worked hard several times before she succeeded. She carefully wiped away the tears on the woman's face, stood up unsteadily, and looked up at the burning lamp on the wall behind her. Flickering bright fire, he said to the man earnestly:

"I will definitely light it, but can you wait for me for a while, I can die with you, but I want to let a fish out first."

The proprietress stared blankly at Lv Gu, and Lv Gu slowed down, and he said it again:

"I'm going to release a fish, its tail has grown, it should go back to the sea, can you wait for me?"

Green Valley is holding the fish tank, running like the wind in the endless night and sea breeze, the cold as ice wind brushes his immature and pale cheeks, just now that person asked him, did he know what death is, what did he know? It's called dying with her, and Green Valley's answer is that death means that the soul returns to the sea, the bones are buried in the bottom of the sea, and reunited with her mother.

After hearing that, the man laughed so hard that tears came out, and finally he gave a low laugh, and drank the last few drops of the wine bottle with his head up, and gave him a bottle full of alcohol and wine. Hugging warmly and vigorously, she put a string of pearl pendants in the palm of Lu Gu's hand, her eyebrows and eyes were soft like fruit wine that could not be ignited in the dim candlelight, and the sharp and hot drunkenness disappeared, she told Lu Gu, and If you die with fire, you cannot be buried at the bottom of the sea. You wear this pendant and run straight ahead. Don't come back. Go to a far away place. Don't look back. Go to a place where no one knows who you are.

She patted Lu Gu's face and said with a sneer, "Little brat, gain some weight for me."

Green Valley panted and came to the beach, the fish inside had been bumped and dizzy. In the night, there was a big ship approaching here with dazzling searchlights. Green Valley knew this big ship, as shown in the black and white photos published in old newspapers. It was such a big boat. He took off his shoes and stepped into the icy water. Green Valley rolled up his trousers and shivered uncontrollably. He raised the fish tank and walked deep into the sea. When he reached his calf, he took a deep breath. He took a deep breath, looked down at the fish in the tank, and the fish was looking up at him, as if observing what strange tricks he was about to play.

And this little trash who recorded his height, changed his water, said goodnight to him, and insisted on stroking his scales to check the progress of the wound treatment after being bitten by him occasionally was no longer that dumb-headed look. In the enchantment, the night swirled behind him and melted into the invisible sea. His lips were blue from the cold, and his whole body was shaking, but his face was very calm, and his voice was a little hoarse:

"I actually know what death is. Death is. I can no longer see, smell, or breathe. I also know that the soul is what adults say to lie to me, a child. My mother's soul has never come to my dreams. , Dead things don’t exist anymore, like rotten apples, they will be abandoned and forgotten by everyone, but I have long been forgotten by everyone, so I have actually been dead for a long time.”

Green Valley paused for a moment, he slowly submerged the fish tank into the sea, and reached out to touch the fish. He felt a little dazedly that the fish's scales were actually warm, and he didn't even slap his tail, but it was hard to bear it. He huddled in his palm and flicked his tail a little irritably. It was very hot and hot, not sharp at all, like a small piece of gold that was about to melt in water, and it warmed his whole body:

"—but my mother said, as long as there is anything in this world that remembers you, your soul will not die. I promised her that I would die with her. Please, don't forget me—"

He lowered his eyelashes, and stammered a little nervously, adding: "——you, you are my only friend."

The fish submerged in the sea and disappeared from the palm of Lv Gu in an instant as if melting into the water. He clenched his fists in frustration and turned to leave. All those who offer wine and items must gather, or everyone will be punished. Green Valley limped back with wet feet and cold. The tavern was brightly lit but empty, and Green Valley walked through the promenade Walking to the third basement floor, the red-haired proprietress was smashing wine barrels one by one. The room was filled with the mellow aroma of wine. The roar of the big ship easily penetrated all the obstructions and reached the ground. The proprietress raised her hand and wiped her face , the movement stopped and turned around, paused when he saw Green Valley, and finally laughed lightly:

"Stubborn brat."

The high-frequency sound of the ship stopped abruptly, and someone cried with joy, "The ship sank——!!!" "The ship sank at the port——!!!!" "The ship broke in half from the middle ——!!!!!!”

The proprietress frowned, she carried Green Valley on her shoulders and ran up, she rushed out of the tavern, staring blankly at the huge iron beast with lights flashing in the night, as if being ripped open from the middle by a more brutal beast The belly was cut in half and fell into the deep seabed. The people on the boat uttered panic curses and cries for help, ordering these lowly civilians to jump into the cold water immediately to rescue them ashore. The thing was quickly dragged into the bottom of the sea, leaving only a string of bubbles that quickly burst on the sea surface. Soon, the entire sea surface was silent, and the entire ship's people were slaughtered in less than half an hour. , only clusters of blood mist that cannot be seen clearly in the dark night dyed the sea surface red.

The golden fish tail flashed in the moonlight, and disappeared again. The nasty mermaid still had disgusting human greasy flesh hanging from her nails. She flicked it in distaste while swimming, not wanting to pass the transition period for the first time Attacking such a weak chicken-like creature is really troublesome, but compared to this, it is obviously more troublesome to always remember that kid.

I remember that a dead weak chicken is too annoying, let him live well, it is best to stay away from him, and——

Baohao glanced at his tail, which was twice as long as that kid, and flicked it fiercely, resisting the urge to swim back immediately and ask the other party to admit defeat in the height competition.

——Damn brat, comparing your height with the transitional mermaid is cheating!
