77.
The carriage rushed all the way out of the forest. This mermaid didn't know the way, he grabbed the horse and didn't know the way, so he ran away for more than half an hour by mistake, and actually found a way out for him and left the forest.
Outside the forest, there was a faint light in the distance, and I thought it was a village. The merfolk pulled the carriage aside, jumped down and walked around it, thinking about what to get out of the carriage's many ornaments.
"Why don't you leave?" A large wheat-colored palm lifted the thick curtain of the carriage, and the man sitting in the carriage looked at the startled fish with a smile.
"You, you, you.. You've been in the car?! ”
The mermaid picked up the horsewhip vigilantly: "If you don't make a sound, why are you following me?" ”
The people in the carriage got out of the carriage slowly, stood in front of the mermaid, and circled their chests for a long time: "You robbed my car, and you are still so fierce to me?" ”
"Uh—" The mermaid choked, looking at the young male. Masculine and handsome, handsome facial features, powerful muscles evenly distributed, a pair of eagle eyes are sharp and black, lips are slightly thin, and they are easily raised, and it seems that there is no ill will towards him... Relieved a little, the mermaid threw the whip at him: "Then I will return the cart to you now, and we will go our separate ways, and we will not owe each other." ”
"Nope." The man decisively refused, reaching out and pressing the mermaid's shoulder to prevent him from escaping: "You robbed my car and drove away my groom, I have nothing now, and you are responsible for me." ”
“????” Yu glanced at the trench behind him, "Man, you still have a glittering car, I'll give it back to you, understand?" ”
"It's yours to grab, it's yours. And I was snatched by you in the carriage before, so you are responsible for me. The man seemed determined to pay attention to him, and said forcefully.
The mermaid frowned: "Don't be kidding, I still have something to do, I can't afford you." ”
The man smiled: "Don't worry, I won't drag you down." In this way, I want to find something, you accompany me to find it, and we will clear it up. ”
"What are you looking for? Is it hard to find? ”
"Silk Wave Flower, I'm going to the Transska Mountains to find Silk Wave Flower." The man said, "My eldest brother is also looking for Silk Flower, so we must find it before he does, so that I can marry Alice." As he spoke, he looked at the mermaid: "Little one, you are a mermaid of Joseph's high seas, right?" ”
The mermaid chuckled in his heart and wanted to retreat in a panic, but the man's hand was firmly on his shoulder, and he couldn't move, so he had to stutter and ask, "You... How do you know..."
The man didn't answer his question, but said, "Originally, I was going to go to Joseph's high seas to find a mermaid as a dowry, but I saw that you were very interesting, I changed my mind, as long as you help me find Silk Flower, I will let you go." ”
“....”
"What do you think?" The man raised his eyebrows, smiling rather than smiling.
“....... I'll help you find it. Seeing that there was a threat in the man's eyes, in order not to make a dowry, the mermaid could only reluctantly compromise: "But let's say it, if we find Sibohua, we don't owe each other." ”
"Nature." The man nodded: "Acquaintance, my name is Mu, little mermaid, what is your name." ”
"Me? My name is..."How can the mermaid have a name, just when a flying bird cooed twice, the mermaid had an idea, and said: "My name is Goo.. Ahem, yes, my name is Gu. ”
=======================================================================
Mu is a cheerful and talkative male.
Xu knows that mermaids rarely go to sea, and even if they go to sea, they only wander around the beach, and the man easily uses the things in the colorful world outside to arouse the interest of mermaids, and they get along a lot better.
Slowly drove the carriage to the small village in the distance, and it was already dawning. The mermaid was hungry and lying on her stomach in the car, and Chang Mu was outside to catch the car.
"Little mermaid, we're here." The carriage stopped, Mu lifted the curtain, only to see the hungry fish with white eyes lying on his stomach, pouting as if spitting bubbles? Shaking his head amusedly, he reached out and picked up the dirty fish out of the car.
Mu's chest was warm, like the feeling of sunlight draped over his body. The fish that has been soaked in the water all the year round groaned, and unconsciously put his head tighter..."Hmm..."There was a small bean on the side of his mouth that rubbed the cloth against his face, he opened his mouth in dissatisfaction and bit it in confusion.
"Shhh You bad fish! Mu hurriedly put the mermaid on the ground and rubbed the watermark on the chest of his clothes: "Wake up, let's go into the village to buy food!" ”
"The food... Food! Hearing these two words, the fish seemed to have been stimulated, and in an instant he recovered from the state of being a corpse, rubbed his eyes and struggled to stand up and asked, "Where is the food store?" ”
"Wait," the man stopped, stopping the merfolk from scurrying excitedly, reached out and took out a small black bag from his bosom, took out a pinch of powder from it, and waved it towards the carriage.
The glittering golden carriage lost its 'color' in the fluttering powder and turned into a dilapidated cart.
The man took out another handful and threw it on himself, and the precious clothes on his body were instantly replaced by coarse linen clothes.
"What is this?" The merfolk stared curiously at the bag in his hand.
"Camouflage powder, I exchanged it from the pharmacist before I left." The man picked up the small broken car: "Go." ”
They were in a dwarven village. The dwarves are obviously very unfriendly to tall men, but they are much kinder to dirty and small merfolk, and the merfolk even have the idea of living here for a while.
"That's when you didn't see the dwarves murder." The man whispered to him and bit his ear: "The dwarves are actually still very xenophobic, and they always trouble the foreigners first, do you see the hammer in their hands, smash your fish head!" ”
The dwarf sitting at the other table didn't hear what the man was saying to the mermaid, but when he saw the merman's eyes drifting from time to time, he raised the hammer in his hand and laughed and showed his teeth under his beard to show his warmth and friendliness.
Gu: "...."The fish hurriedly retracted his gaze, lest the other party throw a hammer over, it was a stone hammer, and his brain could be smashed.
After enjoying their first meal in the outside world at the Dwarves, the merfolk fell in love with the fragrant bread and bought more than a dozen in a row and hoarded them in the wagon. Mu couldn't help but think of his own race's enthusiasm for certain things when he saw the mermaids hoarding things. Raising the corners of his mouth, he walked over to the fish whose eyes were shining at the bread in the carriage, and said softly, "Let's go, continue on our way." ”
"Emm...."The mermaid waited for Mu to get on the horse first, and then followed, sitting in the groom position: "Where are we going?" ”
Mu looked out the window and stretched out his hand: "Facing south, Transsca is the southernmost part of the continent." ”
"Okay." The merfolk pulled up the reins, and the two horses galloped merrily, heading south, leaving the dwarves.
========================================================================
After a day and a night of driving, the dawn of the new day broke through the darkness of dawn and covered the land, but there was still not a ghost in the Transnska. Gu munched on the pineapple bun depressedly and looked at the person driving the car sadly.
"Hey, don't look at me like that." Mu said: "I know, you may be eager to part with me, but this Transska Mountain is not so easy to get to, you eat honestly, you should catch the car later." ”
"It's me again?!" Gu shouted dissatisfiedly: "I just rested for a long time!" ”
"What, have an opinion?" Mu showed a mouthful of white teeth at him: "Why don't I just take you as a dowry?" We don't even have to go to the Transska Mountains. ”
“.......”
The fish angrily tore the bread in his hand,
Stuffed into the mouth.
Mu turned his head happily and hummed a little song in a good mood.
The golden sunlight baptizes the earth, the cool morning breeze dispels the tide, the bright green grass on both sides of the road rolls crystal dewdrops, and the clatter of the wheels and the hooves of horses run by the dust.
After resting for a while, he was forced to rush to the driving position, and Gu Youqi weakly whipped his horsewhip and drove south.
"You ate a lot of bread just now, why don't you have any strength?" Mu sensitively sensed that something was wrong with the mermaid, and took his hand and drank the horse.
Although the mermaid's face was dirty, its originally rosy lips were abnormally white.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I... I need water. Gu narrowed his eyes uncomfortably: "Quick, is there a water source around here, I need water..." Every inch of skin screamed frantically for water.
"Water?" Mu looked outside, this is a small road, there are jungle shrubs nearby, and at a glance there is a dense bush, and there is no water source.
He looked down at the mermaid's increasingly pale lips, and thought for a moment to reach out and pick him up.
Gu has never been so uncomfortable. The dryness of his body was like a fire, scorching his internal organs, and he even felt that he was the fish that fishermen used to grill at the campfire.
Just as his unbearable fingers turned frantic and he wanted to cut his neck to end the pain, suddenly there was a roar of an unknown creature in his ears, and then he was released into the cool world.
Mu opened his eyes, the clear water surrounded him, and the moment his lower body met the water again, he automatically turned into a beast, and his brain was one step ahead of reason to direct his body to swim freely in this water.
"Whew.." The mermaid swam happily back and forth in the water for a few times, and then stuck her head out of the water and looked at the man who had been standing at the water's edge.
The man's face was not as smooth as ever, and patches of scales appeared. Gu swam over, beckoned the man to squat down, and then reached out and touched it: "You have scales on your face... Are you a merfolk? ”
Mu didn't answer, staring at the mermaid's washed face, his eyes flickering.
"I can't believe that you're pretty good-looking."
The mermaid lifted her hair and shook it back: "That's it, the first handsome on the high seas is not called in vain." ”
"Self-appointed?" Mu laughed: "By the way, can you show me your tail?" ”
There was a faint glint of gold in the water, but he wanted to see the legendary color directly.
The mermaid nodded generously, turned the fishtail and lifted it up.
The water swept through the beautiful fishtails, and the shimmering scales of Kanazawa shone softly next to each other, shining brightly.
Mu reached out in amazement and touched the fishtail.
"Hey! Can't touch it! The mermaid sensitively retracted its tail, and a hint of red appeared on her face: "The mermaid's tail is very important!" Do you understand the mating weapon! You foreigners cannot touch it. ”
Mu retracted his hand with pity, and had to say, "Okay." ”
Although he didn't have much expression on his face, his heart had a different feeling from the brief touch of the other party.
Suddenly, he felt that the more he looked at the fish, the more interesting it became.
