The young man spat on his fingers, counted nine silver tickets and returned them to Ye Xiu, and kept one for himself: "I don't want to fool you, I secretly went to that place without telling my grandfather, and there is nothing, return the nine of you, keep one as a consulting fee, and don't spend money in vain." ”

The old man was stunned: "When did you go?" ”

"It's been a long time ago, you kept saying it over and over again, and I thought it was true, so of course I had to go and see it."

The old man was angry: "This must be true, I saw it with my own eyes, it can be fake!" ”

"How can there be any mermaids, don't fool these people who have never been to sea, 10,000 taels, they will not report to the government to arrest you when they come back, I will be your relative."

The old man stomped his feet, his withered hands clenched into fists and smashed his legs, as if on the next important decision.

Finally touched it from his body for a long time, took out a small leather bag, and said to Ye Xiu: "Forget it, let me be honest, in fact, I touched it at the beginning." ”

Ye Xiu was stunned, not knowing where the old man's words were connected: "What did you touch?" ”

The old man gritted his teeth: "Actually, I touched the mermaid's chest and secretly hid it." ”

Ye Xiu took the leather bag, and inside was a piece of fish scales, which was placed in the sun, colorful and extremely beautiful.

The young man was like being struck by lightning: "It turned out to be true, and grandpa, you went to touch someone's chest when you were seven years old?" ”

"Nonsense, it's so big, who can bear it!" The old man stomped his feet angrily: "I never dared to tell anyone in my life, if it weren't for this ten thousand taels of silver!" You said that you can't take a fancy to which girl, you have to take a fancy to the daughter of Jia Dahu, and Jia Dahu can let his daughter marry you? ”

The young man immediately took the silver ticket he planned to return to Ye Xiu back in his hand, ordered it again, and handed it to his grandfather.

Then he faced Ye Xiu and introduced himself: "My surname is Taishi, my name is Hu, but I personally want to change my name to Taishi Shark, grandpa he has always disagreed, you can call me Huzi or Xiaohu." ”

The old man put away the silver ticket: "Don't even think about it, you kid, and my great-grandson has to be called Taishi Rabbit!" ”

A few fishermen who were drinking in the distance, seeing that the young man had not returned, shouted loudly: "Huzi, it's not over yet, come and drink!" ”

Tai Shihu waved his hand: "Don't drink it, I still have to take someone to find the merman!" ”

There was a burst of laughter from the boat in an instant: "Huzi, you are drinking too much, are you stupid to drink yourself, look for a merman, don't say whether there is a merman, the sea is so dangerous at this time, don't be funny, come back and drink!" ”

Tai Shihu responded: "Wait, I'll come back and pack a big fleet and take my brothers to make a fortune together!" ”

After speaking, Tai Shihu no longer paid attention to the other fishermen, and his expression became serious: "When will you go to sea?" ”

Ye Xiu replied without thinking about it: "The sooner the better, it's best to come out now." ”

Tai Shihu nodded: "But the sea has not been calm recently, you should have heard grandpa say it, it's okay to go to sea, you have to get a big ship, otherwise you can't stand the toss." ”

"Two ships, send us on when the time comes, and you can come back."

Tai Shihu shook his head: "First, I will only return after receiving so much money from you, and second, ordinary people can't steer in this sea, and a big ship is enough." ”

Ye Xiu looked around, there were some small fishing boats nearby, and only one big boat was parked in the distance.

There was a conspicuous flag on the ship with the word Jia written on it.

"Is that okay?" Ye Xiu pointed directly.
