"Yes, I remember scrubbing it vigorously with soaphorn, washing out a lot of blue blood stains, and then soaking it in ginger water to remove the smell, don't you smell it?" Bai Lu asked.

I picked up my black cloak and smelled it, and sure enough, there was no fishy smell, but a freshly dried clothes and a faint smell of ginger.

I was surprised, if there was no fishy smell, then what was it that I smelled in the tunnel? This reminds me of the scratches embedded in the cave wall, so hard and deep, it will inevitably make the fingers that I grabbed blood flow out, but I didn't look down and look for it, I deeply remember that I went down the tunnel yesterday, there was no smell at all, and there was no trace on the touch, so it can be judged that it may have been left between last night and today's return.

But the ugly monster is dead, and the corpse has been buried by me at sea, is it possible that it looks like that, it is not dead yet? But if it really becomes a water ghost and a dirty thing between life and death, since it can return to the tunnel, it will definitely be able to return to the post station, but it is clearly not. Therefore, I have another hypothesis, and this hypothesis, I think should be the most probable, that is, there are other mermaids.

The so-called shark race, the shark people are a race, just like the human race is the same truth, if there is one must have two, if one dies, there may be a second, third, fourth...

I don't dare to continue thinking about it, I just hope that this matter will not be resolved, and I hope that even if it is as I think, the merman clan should find out the situation, it was the beasts outside that killed the ugly monsters, not us, don't come to seek our revenge.

"Brother Zhou Bo, what's wrong with you? Why do you stand still, is it because you feel comforted to welcome the spring and feel embarrassed? Bai Lu asked.

I woke up from my thoughts, waved my hand and said, "No, no, it's not a big deal, I'll just go up and do it." ”

"I'm tired." Bai Lu immediately smiled.

I exhaled, went up the stairs to the second floor, passed through two rooms, arrived at the chrysanthemum room, saw the door closed, heard the sound of ding, then cleared my throat, and planned to knock on the door and shout to open the door, every time I thought that before I shouted, the door opened, and I saw Yingchun wearing a linen, a lot of sawdust on it, and looked at me listlessly.

"Yo, the sun is coming out in the west, and you will come to see me when I am not happy, what a magical scene, I am going to be moved to tears." Yingchun said.

I didn't intend to skim what she was tinkering with, but I saw that it was a puppet frame, using mortise and tenon technology to connect various parts, but only the upper body was made, and the rest were just parts, and you could see a lot of gears and bearings, which took a lot of effort, and although the wood had not yet been made, it had already seen a prototype.

Looking at the long arm span of this hand, and the shape carving, you know that it is made in the shape of a merman, this is very carefully made, and there are movable shafts in all joints, I think if you have a heart in it, you may really be able to survive.

"And I think I'm wasting my time and not doing the right job, right? Say whatever you want, but I really want to finish this, and before the Chinese New Year, I hope, hope... I hope that the ugly monster can accompany me through this year, accompany me on New Year's Eve, as if it is still alive, as if it has always been by my side, doing everything for me, afraid that I will be sad, afraid that I will not be safe, always take care of me, always protect me. Yingchun said, tears streaming down her voice, covering her mouth, tears streaming down her cheeks.

I reached out and gently wiped her tears, but she couldn't hold back any longer, hugged me, and began to cry hoarsely, just as she thought she had lost her sister that time.

"Why are you throwing food on the ground for it to eat?" I asked.

She sobbed and said after a while: "I thought I didn't care about it, I thought it was just my dog, feed it, and it would continue to do everything for me, but until I knew that it was dead, and it died so miserably, I realized that my heart would be so painful, I couldn't breathe in pain, and I could only get these broken wood to solve my guilt, I really regretted it, I regretted not being able to treat it well!" It's a pity that there is no more chance. ”

I took her over and asked her to find some comfort in my chest, patted her on the back and comforted her, and she hugged her tightly, tears soaking my clothes.

"One day, I will take you to the beach, where it is buried, maybe you express your repentance to it, it can also hear and feel comforted, there is really no more chance, people die like lights go out, but the way of friends, treat each other with sincerity, even if it dies, send it a ride, you can also show sincerity, isn't it?" I said.

She nodded her head with tears and said in a crying voice, "Take me someday." Didn't you come up to blame me for not doing my business? ”

"To be honest, the merman friend is strong and kind to us, I don't know how to be grateful for it, since you have this craft, then do it, you can concentrate on this in the past two days, other work, I will do it for you, and I should do something for the merman friend, in order to express my gratitude." I said.

Yingchun raised his head and looked at me seriously, nodding like pounding garlic.

"Brother Zhou Bo, for the first time, I feel that you are really warm and handsome." Yingchun said with a nymphomaniac.

"Ahem, it's not serious again, go get it, it's only a day and a half before the New Year, and it's twelve o'clock tomorrow night, but it's Chinese New Year's Eve." I said.

"Got it, thank you Brother Zhou, you're so good." After Yun Wen finished speaking, she wiped her tears, stood on tiptoe and left a kiss on my face, and then entered the chrysanthemum room, ready to close the door, I was about to leave, but I saw her waving her hand to me seriously, smiling sweetly, quite beautiful, like a little folk princess, I couldn't help but look at me a little stunned.

After reacting, I also waved at her, after she closed the door, I went downstairs, and downstairs I saw that the pickled fish and pork had been made and hung outside the door to dry, and Yun Wen and Bai Lu were squatting on the ground and tinkering with something, I took a closer look, but saw that they had removed the wooden table that they did not have, and were carving it with a dagger.

Originally, there were five Eight Immortal Tables in the room of the post station, three of which were transformed into our current beds, one was kept as a dining table, and one was idle and temporarily useless, which was used today.

But I saw that Yun Wen had already typed and written with charcoal first, and the two were working together to rip off the sharp part of the dagger little by little, but unfortunately the words were good, but the craftsmanship was poor, and the digging was extremely uneven.

"Zhou Bo, will you get this? We can't get it right. Yun Wen saw me coming and hurriedly said.

When they moved away, I saw clearly that there were two wooden boards with black charcoal written on them, "Full of blessings, years of peace."

Engraving technology, I will be more or less pointed, at least their craftsmanship is better, but see these eight words, the psychology is up and down, if you don't know the situation under the tunnel today, maybe these eight words I can also engrave it for granted, but it is clear that some signs are predicted, and then look at these eight words, only feel more and more uneasy.

However, blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable, and these eight words may really bring us some blessings and peace, and we may not be able to say if we can withstand some disasters.

I reluctantly smiled and said: "Of course it will, just leave it to me, but if you want to do something, you must first sharpen your tools, this dagger must be difficult to get, I went to Yingchun to borrow its tools, I remember that when I made a stone mill before, she had a special chisel, and the engraving should be accurate and fast, Bai Lu, you go to the backyard to find a bigger stone, and I will use it for a while." ”

So Bai Lu went to find a stone, I went to borrow a chisel, and Yun Wen took out a bag of flower leaf grass rhizome bark, among which I recognized some of it was a thing called madder, and made a madder dyed cloth, which would be dyed red, could it be that she wanted to make dyeing pigments, and make so-called grass and wood dyeing?
