Tsing Yi was very surprised when she heard this, I don't know why, sometimes what Hei Saburo said always made her feel like "Ah, everyone knows what the truth is, only you are too stupid to know". Could it be that he already knew that Deadwood had the idea of beating him?

Tsing Yi didn't know what to think at all, so she silently lowered her head and looked into Kurosaburo's eyes, trying to find the answer in his eyes.

Hei Saburo's pupils were full of pure black, and the clean whites of his eyes were slightly blue in the sunlight, except for a few dark gold flashes by chance, all Tsing Yi could see was his own face full of scrutiny.

And she found that although Kurosaburo's face was full of disgust, his clear eyes were a little dodging under her own scrutiny, and a vague feeling of shyness slowly revealed with the golden-red fish scales on his cheeks.

That's a ...... I'm afraid that if he sees it wrong, he must be annoyed! Because he saw the tail of the fish that he didn't want to see!

Tsing Yi thought about it out of place, and found that he couldn't see anything after all, so he had to ask, "You already knew?" ”

Hei Saburo said with a straight face: "Hmph, I see that you like her very much, and she didn't even find out how many times she moved on the fish she brought back, and this time it also made you have a long memory, see if you still lack heart and eyes in the future?" ”

Tsing Yi was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "But you don't have any leftover from the fish she brought back......

Before the words fell, she saw that Hei Saburo's face turned black, and he twitched the fishtail in annoyance, and unconsciously pinched her wrist painfully.

"I'm so good!" Hei Saburo's annoyed and angry little appearance was very unconvincing, the fish scales on his cheeks had completely come out, he puffed out his cheeks, and said in a dead tone, "I'm not as weak as you, even if I eat more fish, it doesn't matter if I eat more fish!" ”

"Hmm. I know......" Tsing Yi once again glanced at Hei Saburo's swinging fishtail, the color of the fishtail half-hidden under the black robe was too bright, even if she didn't deliberately look at it, the golden red always kept swaying in her field of vision.

can be regarded as knowing why he refused to take himself back immediately, eighty percent of the fishtail came out and couldn't be taken back.

Tsing Yi felt a sense of insight into the truth in her heart, but considering Hei Saburo's precarious and strong image, as well as his rare annoyance, she still tried to keep a cold face and not show it.

The churning splash gradually subsided, and the white fish licked the remaining white bones, looking unfinished.

And the merfolk were still looking at the small door expectantly.

"You want her?" The dead wood behind the embankment sneered, followed by a small piece of white fishtail that was still twitching and suddenly peeking out from behind the small door.

The mermaid was overjoyed, flicked her tail and swam to the door, then reached for the fishtail.

But the tail didn't know what was wrong, and when the merfolk grabbed it, the snow-white scales on the tail were like dust, and they fell off the tentacles.

The merfolk didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and continued to work hard to drag the fishtail out of the small door. As the scales fall off, the pinkish-white flesh gradually □□ into the air.

The unsatisfied white fish seemed to smell the tempting smell of mermaid meat, and they invariably turned their heads to look at it, as if they had seen a big meal, they eagerly threw away the white bones in their hands, and rushed over.

"Wait, wait, no!" Suddenly, the mermaids who were squeezed away by the white fish suddenly panicked, and they pulled one of the white fish hard to stop them, "She's still alive, she has successfully turned into a mermaid, you can't eat her now-"

In response, the white fish used their sharp hooks to scratch the tail of the fish that hung half-hanging by the door, and made countless deep, revealing wounds.

At the same time, there was a faint cry from behind the embankment, and a weak woman cried, "It hurts, it hurts, save me-"

"Whitefish-whitefish-" the merfolk cried eagerly, "she's still alive—"

"Oh - you can't eat it if you live, you can't eat it when you die? Isn't it fun that you cut your own meat and feed your pets on weekdays? Or are you afraid that they will be insatiable? I know that you also find it cruel to watch your newly converted companions being eaten by half-finished products that have no heart. Deadwood smirked sarcastically, "But what can I do?" I just want to see you cry! ”

The fishtail that was half-hung by the door was surrounded by the white fish with a terrible appearance, and the sound of the muscles being torn apart and the woman's faint screams rang out at the same time as the red and bright head moved.

The white fish that the merfolk held seemed to want a piece of the pie as well, so it lifted its oddly long forelimbs, gave the merfolk a claw, and then rushed ferociously into the group of white fish.

The merfolk who were hit had to scream and let go of their hands, and then watched as the white fish tore off a large piece of pink flesh from the tail of the fish, which was barely moving, and stuffed it into its mouth.

When it chewed, it even cracked its mouth and smiled satisfactorily, and between the two rows of fine sharp teeth, there was a little minced meat between them.

The merfolk clutched the scratched half of their faces, and floated motionless on the water. The meandering blood flowed down their fingers, smearing a patch of pink in the clear water, and then when the white fishtails swayed gently, the pink completely disappeared into the vast water.

But they didn't cry.

"Why don't you cry?" Deadwood said hatefully, "Why don't you cry? ”

The merfolk lowered their hands covering their wounds, and the wounds on their faces were almost completely healed.

"Merfolk don't cry." They said, "You're a mermaid too, don't you know?" ”

There was silence behind the embankment, and after a long while, a sigh of compassion sounded, and then the dead wood said with vicissitudes: "You have no soul, no heart, no ego, I should not expect such a small means to see your tears......"

The mermaid had been completely dragged out by the white fish, she stared, there was a dead silence in her white pupils, a white fish was leaning down to bite the left side of her face, its sharp teeth were deeply embedded in her flesh, and when it shook its head vigorously and tore off the piece of meat, the dark blood was like a viscous pigment, shaping her face into a dark red and terrible mask.

"When are we going to see?" Tsing Yi was already shuddering, and she asked Hei Saburo in a low voice, "Even if it's ...... Even if there is a grudge, such a method is inevitably too drastic......"

Hei Saburo glanced at the white fish that were chewing and chewing without changing his face, and finally frowned and said, "It's true that it's a toss, but her purpose is not just to torture these mermaids." ”

Saying that, Hei Saburo raised his hand and pointed underwater, and said with a smile: "She is not greedy enough, and a few mermaids are not enough to vent her hatred, and she wants to destroy this nest of mermaids in one go." ”

Tsing Yi looked down at the water suspiciously, only to see a few hazy shadows swimming rapidly at the bottom of the river under the blue river.

More merfolk arrived.

"That's it—we don't need these pet puppets to waste time—" the dead wood on the other side sighed to himself, and then cried out loudly, "Whitefish, are you here?" You come out! ”

One face after another slowly surfaced. They gathered together silently, then looked at the small door and said in unison, "Here I am!" ”

Deadwood instantly understood that the mermaid she was looking for was not inside, so she said hatefully, "Why don't you come out?" If you don't come out, I'll kill all your people, hahahaha-"

With the laughter of the dead wood, the white fish who had been gobbling up suddenly trembled, and then fell down one after another.

"Every living creature in the world carries death in its body, which is the gift of life, the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of life and death, eternal and unchanging. But you took it from me, and I became a monster—" The repentance of dead wood faintly came from behind the embankment, "I know that I am destined to be unable to solve this life and death, and you are my sinister obstacles. Now I am willing to do it myself, to bring you death, and may you rest in peace......"

The merfolk looked surprised when they saw the white fish sinking lifeless to the bottom of the river. Instead of listening to the dead wood, they plunged into the water and swam towards the place where the white fish had sunk.

Underwater time, white shadows are staggered.

When the water splashed, Hei Saburo suddenly smiled: "It's time."

"What?" Tsing Yi looked around in confusion when she heard this, and before she could see the reason, Hei Saburo took her wrist and took two steps back.

There were some ripples on the surface of the water, and then a large net of almost transparency rose up in one fell swoop, and the merfolk who had gathered together were instantly swept away.

The merfolk screamed and flicked their long tails, and used their long fingernails to cut the net that trapped them, but the net was made of some special material, and they struggled for a long time, but finally failed to break free.

Tsing Yi leaned against Hei Saburo's side, I don't know if he was cold or frightened, his whole body was trembling.

"You're still too daring." Hei Saburo frowned slightly, shook his head with some hatred, and said, "It's just a bystander, you're scared like this." ”

Tsing Yi suddenly felt a little aggrieved when she heard this, she snorted, lowered her head and pursed her mouth without saying a word. thinks she is just a mortal, if she hadn't become this strange little lady with a mysterious life for no reason, such a bloody and bizarre thing would definitely not have to be endured and experienced by her.

In the final analysis, she also felt that she had nothing to do, and she was afraid that she would suffer this tragedy in the future.

Tsing Yi was feeling a little self-pitying, but Hei Saburo on the side couldn't stand it, he squeezed the slender Hao wrist in his hand, and then flicked his tail, pulling Tsing Yi who had not had time to react and swam out at once.

"Hey—what are you running for?" Master Gao's loud voice suddenly exploded behind him, "You wait for me, don't just leave me alone in those ghosts!" ”

"It's Master Gao!" Tsing Yi heard the shout, and hurriedly turned his head to look in surprise, and sure enough, he saw a strong white figure appear on the water not far away.

Master Gao looked very wolf, his robe was already tattered, and his white face was covered with mud spots, as if he had just rolled in the mud. When he saw Tsing Yi turn around, he raised his hand and shook it vigorously a few times, and continued to shout unabashedly: "Hei Saburo, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, I will help you pick up the hairpin of the girl in Tsing Yi, do you know how deep the broken river is?" Do you know how many ghost fish are hiding there? Lao Tzu said a word for you, I have eaten a few ghost fish, and I said okay to let me turn back? ”

Own hairpin? Tsing Yi subconsciously reached out and touched his head, only to find that the white hosta was lost sometime.

The last time the white hosta was robbed, it was Hei Saburo who got it back, and Tsing Yi, who didn't notice that he had lost the hairpin, couldn't help but secretly glance at Hei Saburo with a little weakness.

"Tsk." Hei Saburo didn't know whether he was annoyed by Tsing Yi or Master Gao, he had already sunk his face there, and when Master Gao swam up to them, he lifted his eyelids and asked coldly, "What about the thing?" ”

"Here." Master Gao hurriedly took out a white hosta with a smooth body, and secretly rubbed his eyes at Tsing Yi and said, "Girl, you are lucky, fortunately you didn't eat that strange ghost thing at that time, you look at Hei Saburo, and then look at me, after eating that ghost thing, we have become such a ghost-"

Tsing Yi looked at Master Gao carefully a few times, and when she looked closely, she found that the gray on Master Gao's face was not mud spots, but fish scales, he was originally tall and strong, and now he has changed into a fish tail, which is also very fat, and it is full of iron-gray scales, which is very rough and cold.

Tsing Yi blinked, and couldn't help but peek at Kurosaburo's golden-red fish tail.

Somehow, she always thinks Kurosaburo's fish tail is better-looking.

"Shut up!" Hei Saburo snatched away the white hosta, and angrily interrupted Master Gao, "You obviously know that the fish is wrong, and you want to get it back to coax this stupid guy to cook, I'll go back and settle accounts with you, now get out of the way." ”

"Hey-it's just a fish's tail, a little bit of fish scales at most, and we're not such a low-powered little thing, it will fade in a few days at most-"

Hei Saburo was so angry that his eyebrows and eyes stood up, and after a while, he suddenly calmed down again, and his face showed the kind of expression that made Tsing Yi's back feel cold, he first nodded slightly, and then shook his tail vigorously.

Tsing Yi, who was still silently staring at Master Gao's fat fishtail, only felt a flicker in front of him, and then blinked, and the fat Master Gao, who was still in front of him, was thrown out by Hei Saburo in the blink of an eye.

When he heard a dull crashing sound not far away, Tsing Yi hurriedly looked up, only to see that the strong embankment had been broken by Master Gao, and the dead wood in a black robe that was collecting the net happened to be on the edge of the hole.

Master Gao dragged the cumbersome fat fishtail, screamed and lay in the ruins, and scolded in his mouth: "Hey, Hei Saburo, you wait, Lao Tzu can't cure you, sooner or later someone can cure you!" Hey, wait and see, although Lao Tzu can't beat you, when my family Qingqing comes back, Lao Tzu will take revenge and come back-"

"Hehehe, Master Gao, are you okay?" Deadwood firmly tied the net wire in his hand to the wooden stake, and smiled at the half-human, half-fish master on the ground, "It just so happens that Lao Ni has caught a lot of extremely delicious mermaids, and some raw fish fillets are even more delicacies, and the opportunity is not to be missed, maybe this fish will become extinct in a few years——"

"Ahh Master Gao smacked indignantly and scolded, "Then when you gave Lao Tzu food, it was just a little scale on your face, but look at this-"

Saying that, Master Gao pointed to his big iron-gray fish tail and cried with a sad face: "What can I do about this, my family Qingqing came back and saw this fish tail, so he had to chop me up......

"Master Gao, don't worry." Deadwood smiled brightly and comforted, "Since you helped Lao Ni encircle and suppress this nest of mermaids, Lao Ni will repay him, just as Lao Ni promised Hei Saburo, Lao Ni will also help you remove this fishtail." ”

As soon as Tsing Yi swam to the side with Hei Saburo, he heard Deadwood say this, and suddenly turned his head to look at Hei Saburo in some surprise.

Hei Saburo looked back at Tsing Yi with a smile and said slowly: "What do you want to ask?" ”

“…… What did you help her? After hesitating for a moment, Tsing Yi still asked with some curiosity, "What did she promise?" ”

"I only gave her an indestructible net." Hei Saburo replied casually, "The rest of the things are handled by her coaxing Master Gao." ”

"That's right, the dirty work is all done by Lao Tzu." Hearing the question, Master Gao immediately interjected dissatisfiedly, and complained to Tsing Yi, "Lao Tzu has to carry the dead wood here, and also cast the net well, and drive the group of mermaids over, by the way, Lao Tzu also spent a night of hard work to chisel the bottom of the cave, but Hei Saburo ran away with you as soon as he slipped through the smoke, and the old man who was about to collapse carried the cave alone, so he was not buried in it." ”

After that, he cried very aggrievedly: "Girl in Tsing Yi, you must remember that I have the greatest credit for saving you, and you will repay me well in the future!" ”

Tsing Yi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, but when she saw the poor mermaids in the fishing nets, her smile disappeared immediately.

Deadwood leaned over to Tsing Yi with a smile and said: "Tsing Yi, don't be afraid, I didn't mean to, but I waited for a hundred years, and I was a little anxious, and I didn't think about it for a while, which affected you." ”

Tsing Yi didn't know whether he should continue to believe her, he was silent for a while, but nodded perfunctorily.

"This is mermaid ossified mermaid poison, which can remove the medicinal power of mermaid flesh in your body." Deadwood took out an ebony box and handed it to Hei Saburo, and thanked him solemnly, "Thank you for helping me." ”

Hei Saburo didn't have the same good temperament as Tsing Yi, he didn't raise his eyes to take the box, and said coldly after half a sound: "This thing is from Fusang, it has nothing to do with the monsters in our Kyushu, if you want to find the mermaid named Baiyu, you don't have to come to the Santuchuan Inn again, just go straight to the four seas." ”

Deadwood was stunned for a moment, and finally came back to his senses and glanced at Hei Saburo, and sighed: "What you said is right, since you have said so, Lao Ni will not go to the inn to bother, and go directly to the four seas." ”

After speaking, she smiled at Tsing Yi and said: "Farewell today, I don't know if there is a fate to see you again, I hope you are well." ”

"So are you." Tsing Yi smiled hard and said goodbye to her solemnly.

Hei Saburo had already raised his head and swallowed the mermaid poison, and then casually threw the box to Master Gao.

When Tsing Yi looked back, he had already regained his former appearance.

"Let's go." Hei Saburo changed back to his original state, and he was in a good mood and pulled Tsing Yi's wrist and floated forward, "I've been tossing for so long, I'm hungry." ”

"Well, I'll make you meat when you go back." Tsing Yi said absentmindedly as he looked back at the breach of the embankment that was gradually moving away.

The trapped merfolk were still there cutting the nets with their claws, and they didn't cry or make a fuss, but they kept looking at the dead wood with that pitiful and innocent look.

Seeing that look, Tsing Yi suddenly remembered the bloody mermaid in the cave, when she was tortured by dead wood, although she kept screaming pain and was pitiful, but she never saw her tears.

Obviously scared, obviously painful, such a mermaid, really can't cry

It's just that this question, except for the Deadwood Master who has been chasing the mermaid, I'm afraid only the mermaid himself can answer it.
