Chapter 16: Love at First Sight
Li Yiheng looked at Eric, and Eric dodged his eyes that didn't dare to look at Li Yiheng. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info originally said that it was okay, and how they came out can't be told to others, but it's already said, "Eric is my friend, you don't have to thank me." β
Li Yiheng's voice was tinged with a touch of detachment, and he really didn't show any good feelings towards the city lord, but he was Eric's father, and basic etiquette and respect were still needed.
Eric winked at Li Yiheng and motioned for him to take the water poured to him by the city lord. Li Yiheng reluctantly took the water cup in the city lord's hand and took a sip, "Thank you." β
The city lord didn't have any displeasure because of Li Yiheng's attitude, and said very understandingly, "Do you have something to talk about? I'll go first. As he spoke, he walked out, not forgetting to close the door.
Li Yiheng was speechless, Eric sat next to Li Yiheng, picked up the cup and took a sip of water, "Father is like this, he never hides his likes and dislikes." I don't know why he has such a deep prejudice against you, but he has no malicious intentions, so don't take it to heart. β
"Yes. Li Yiheng changed to a more comfortable position and sat down, "I'm not money, how can I expect people to love me." This day can toss me badly. Stretching as he spoke, he seemed to feel that this posture was still uncomfortable, so he simply sat up straight, and went back to bed and slept in a while, he didn't want to bother the city lord's place.
Eric put down his glass and asked, "What did you just do, why did you jump into the pool?" It's dangerous, no one has ever dared to go into the water in that situation. β
"Alright, stop. Li Yiheng waved his hand to interrupt, "I've heard this all the way, can I change it to something fresh?"
"Yes. But what do you want to talk about?" Eric changed the subject with a smile.
Li Yiheng said with a straight face, "Do you know that the hand of something in the sea is transparent? I think the vibration just now is because of it." β
Eric's whiskers were transparent before he shook his head and said, "I've never seen anything before the whiskers are transparent, you read that right?"
"No, I cut off its beard. Li Yiheng said with certainty, "The severed beard will float in the water a few times, and then it will dissipate." β
Eric thought about it for a moment, "I really don't know what you're talking about, and when I get back, I'll go and ask the old people to see if they know." β
"Then what does that water monster you often talk about look like?" asked Li Yiheng.
Speaking of the water monster, Eric was a little uncomfortable, "We haven't actually seen what the water monster looks like, we only know that he can manipulate the waves, and every time he comes to attack, the waves change into different shapes." β
After listening to Eric's words, Li Yiheng remembered the time he was rescued by Xiao Ji, a giant piranha. Perhaps, that piranha was also made by a water monster.
"Not necessarily. This problem can't be solved for the time being, Li Yiheng decided to solve Lisa's matter first, "I rescued a mermaid from the glue net, she was stuck in the glue net below, and those mustaches wanted to take her away." However, she was stuck to the plastic net and couldn't walk, and her hand kept pulling her, causing the rubber net under the lake in the center of the island to shake, so that the waterway in the city was abnormal. β
"Mermaid?" Eric was curious, "I heard stories about mermaids when I was a kid, and I've never seen a mermaid after living at sea for so long." β
"I'm not looking for you to let you see the mermaid, but to ask you to help me figure out how to keep her for a few days, and then find her way home and send her back. Li Yiheng didn't have a good breath and said, "But speaking of which, what is the difference between you mermaids and mermaids? As he spoke, he looked Eric up and down.
"Who said that?" Eric was just curious about the mermaid, and he didn't mean anything else, and when he heard Li Yiheng's theory, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Shark, mermaid, the literal meaning is obvious, the mermaid is a human, and the mermaid is a fish, how can it be the same?"
Li Yiheng shrugged indifferently, "Okay." But then again, you can live on land, but they can't. Those mermaids who pull their hands can cause vibrations here, and the body must be very large. Go back and tell people to be a little more vigilant. β
Eric nodded thoughtfully, "I'll tell someone to do it in a moment." And what about the mermaid? What is she going to do?"
"She can't stay on land, she can only stay in the water. Li Yiheng also had a headache, "It's not okay to let her stay outside in the island lake, if she is caught, she will be another Gajie." β
Eric thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's get her to me first, I have a big pool where I usually swim, and let her stay there for a few days." Let's discuss the rest of the matter later. β
"Okay. Li Yiheng stood up and walked out, "I have to hurry up and see her." You take care of things first, and then come over as soon as you're done. β
Eric got up and sent Li Yiheng, "Yes." You go first, I'll be over in about half an hour. β
Before Li Yiheng could agree to Eric's words, he heard a rapid "chirp" sound, and he didn't bother to talk to Eric, so he pulled out his feet and ran out. Eric also heard Xiao Yiheng's scream, and when he saw Li Yiheng's appearance, he also understood, and hurriedly chased after him.
Lisa was taken away, but who took it away Li Yiheng has no way of knowing. Xiao Ji can only tell him that something is wrong, but he can't tell him what happened.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Eric, who came later, saw Li Yiheng's solemn face, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "What about the mermaid? Did she have an accident?"
Li Yiheng nodded, looking at the lake with a solemn face, "It was inconvenient for me to take her out before, so let her wait here first." She must have been found and taken away. β
"I see, I'll call someone to look for her now and see who took her. Eric called the guards behind him, "You go-"
"Ericβ" Li Yiheng interrupted Eric, "look for it quietly." β
Li Yiheng originally wanted to find it quietly by himself, and everyone who didn't want to make it known to everyone, otherwise it would be a bunch of trouble at that time. However, it is still a little difficult to find a mermaid who was deliberately taken away. Eric has someone in his hand, so tell them to look for it, Eric can't tell a lot of mouths, they must not dare to say anything, it is much better than looking for it alone.
Eric looked at Li Yiheng and nodded, and said to the guards, "Did you hear that?" β
"Yes. The guard respectfully agreed, turned and ran.
Li Yiheng still felt a little self-reproachful, and turned around to look for it, but was stopped by Eric, "You are not familiar with this place, and it will not be useful for you to wander around like a headless fly, tell them to find it." There will be news soon. β
Xiao Chi fell on Li Yiheng's shoulder with a wilt, and he didn't fly or scream, and seemed to blame himself for not protecting Lisa.
"Let's go, let's go home first. Eric walked to his apartment with Li Yiheng, "I've been tossing for so long, let's rest for a while." Although the mermaid was taken away, it didn't last long, so it won't be fine, don't worry. β
Li Yiheng also knew that it was useless to be anxious now, it was best to wait for news from the guards, nodded and agreed to Eric's proposal.
The speed of the guards was very fast, and as soon as Li Yiheng and Eric returned to the apartment and sat down, the guards came to report that there was news of a mermaid.
"Where?" asked Li Yiheng anxiously.
The guard glanced at Eric and replied respectfully, "She was picked up by the people who salvaged the food and brought to the food processing factory, and someone has arranged for her to be brought over." β
Li Yiheng stared at the guards, and suddenly didn't know what to say. Although Lisa is petite, she is also very different from ordinary fish, how can she still ......
"No one else knows, right?" asked Erik.
"Don't worry, young master. β
Eric Li sat down and commanded, "You go down first." β
"Yes. The guards turned and went out.
"Wait a minute. Li Yiheng called out to the guards who had already walked to the door, "How long will it take?"
The guard thought for a moment, "About another twenty minutes." The mermaid has to stay in the water, which is a bit of a trouble. β
Listening to the guard's words, Li Yiheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you." β
The guards were stunned, saluted Li Yiheng and Eric, and turned to leave.
Eric poured a glass of water for Li Yiheng, "Don't worry about it now." β
"Yes. Li Yiheng took the water cup handed over by Eric, "By the way, is your pool clean? β
Eric was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Li Yiheng with a strange expression, "Why is it not clean? Every time I swam for a swim, the housekeeper would ask someone to go in and brush it three times. β
"Well, then I'm relieved. Li Yiheng sighed and lay down on the sofa. I squinted, and called me in a moment. By the way, her name is Lisa. β
Eric was stunned, "Lisa? is the mermaid's nameβ"
Li Yiheng on the sofa let out a slight snoring sound, naturally it was impossible to fall asleep so quickly, but it was clear that he didn't want to talk anymore. Eric was helpless, didn't say anything more, and beckoned the maid to come over with a blanket and cover Li Yiheng.
Li Yiheng was so tired that he really fell asleep and had a dream. In his dream, there were a lot of whiskers attacking him, and he remembered very well those that he had cut off under the sea, but this time, they kept chopping, pestering him and tearing him.
"Ahh
Eric on the side was so frightened by him that he spilled all the water in his hand directly, hurriedly put down the water glass, and picked up the cloth towel on the side to wipe the water on his hands and body. Squinted at Li Yiheng, "What's the matter?"
"It's fine. Li Yiheng held his head and looked around, "Haven't come here yet?"
Eric put down the cloth towel and poured himself another glass of water, "It's only been less than ten minutes, wait a minute." β
"Oh. Li Yiheng lay down again with a blanket, but this time he didn't feel a little sleepy, and simply sat up after turning over twice, "Forget it, don't sleep." After a while, go back to bed and go to sleep. β
Eric refilled Li Yiheng's cup with water, "It's almost there." I've asked someone to release water in the pool, and you can go in when you come. β
"Yes. Li Yiheng responded and hugged the warm cup in his hand in a daze, as if he was thinking about something. Eric stopped talking when he looked at him, and picked up the unfinished book to continue reading.
Ten minutes is not a long time, Eric only turned a few pages of the book and passed, but Li Yiheng looked up from time to time while holding the cup, and couldn't remember the first time he looked up, he saw several people walking in with a water bladder.
Li Yi hurriedly greeted him, "How is it?"
Seeing this, Eric followed.
In the water bladder, Lisa shrunk and leaned against the wall of the water bladder. He didn't seem to be hurt, but he was clearly frightened, and his eyes looked around in horror.
"Lisa, it's me. Li Yiheng approached and called softly. There is a vent on the top of the water bladder, and Xiao Ji flies into the water bladder through the air vent and lands on Lisa's shoulder.
When Lisa saw Li Yiheng and Xiao Ji, she cried with a wow, "Xiao Ji - Li Yiheng - "
Li Yiheng wanted to comfort Lisa, but he had no choice but to pass through a water bladder. Eric thought about it for a moment and stepped forward and said, "The water bladder is too small, let's let Lisa come out first." β
"Okay, stop crying. Come out first, let's go to a big pool. Li Yiheng wanted to pat Lisa on the shoulder to comfort her, but had no choice but to give up this idea through the water bladder.
Eric had clearly thought of this, and with a wave of his hand, the two maids stepped forward and walked towards the pool with the water bladder.
When leaving, Lisa looked at Li Yiheng with a frightened face, Li Yiheng wanted to follow but it was inconvenient, "You go first, I'll look for you later." Unafraid. β
Lisa's rainy appearance fell into Eric's eyes on the side. Suddenly, Eric heard his heart and jumped up.
Li Yiheng had already told Eric in advance that Lisa was a mermaid, and Eric had already instructed the housekeeper to fill the pool with seawater. As soon as Lisa entered the pool, she dived into the depths, and Li Yiheng originally wanted to ask her to get to know Eric, after all, Eric was the owner of this place, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up.
"How can I be so stingy?" Eric understood what he was thinking when he saw Li Yiheng's appearance, and comforted, "For Lisa in a strange environment, water is her closest friend, let her stay in the water longer." It's all new seawater, which not only calms her mind, but also heals her wounds. After such a toss, she is a girl, even if she is not seriously injured, there are always minor injuries. β
Since Eric, the master, has said so, Li Yiheng is struggling, and it seems hypocritical. looked at Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji immediately understood what Li Yiheng meant, plunged into the water, and dived down to accompany Lisa.
