I didn't believe his nonsense at all, and I wanted to ask again when I opened my mouth, Gu Qihan secretly squeezed my hand, wrote four words in my palm, and waited to see what happened.

I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut and look around the village, trying to find some clues. However, Village Chief Liu just took us to see the strangely shaped reef in the distance, and invited us to eat crispy grilled fish, which looked like a serious tour guide.

Tao Cong wanted to speak several times and stopped asking about the merman, but Gu Qihan stopped him with his eyes, I looked at him with confidence, guessed what he should know, and settled down and watched the changes.

Back at the hotel, the wood-made house exudes a nice smell of sandalwood, which inspires you to sleep. The afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon turns the entire sky in red, making it a spectacular sight.

Gu Qihan sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed and cultivated, I sat on the bed and looked at him angrily, wondering what his plan was, but I didn't expect me to fall asleep like this.

I don't know how long I slept, I was shaken awake, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Gu Qihan standing in front of me, his fingers to his lips, and made a silent gesture. He dragged me out the door, threw out two paper figures in his hand, and fell asleep on the bed in the form of the two of us.

I tugged at the corner of his coat and looked at him quizzically, and then he pointed to the ceiling of the room, where a black instrument the size of a fingernail was flashing red.

It turned out to be a miniature camera! It's so small, it's a little bigger than a fly, and I wouldn't have been able to see it if I hadn't had good eyesight. I felt a chill in my heart, I didn't expect the people in this fishing village to be so despicable, and put cameras in the guests' rooms, what kind of hearts are these people at?

Gu Qihan had a calm face, pulled me and walked downstairs quickly, there was an innkeeper sitting on the counter, he snorted coldly, hugged me and teleported and came outside the hotel.

I looked around at the silent fishing village and said to Gu Qihan, "It seems that there is something wrong with this fishing village!" ”

He nodded, and then spread his palm, and aqua blue scales appeared in his palm.

Isn't this what Grandpa Tao Cong gave him, when did this guy Gu Qihan steal other people's things?

Gu Qihan pinched the fish scales on his fingertips and aimed at the full moon in the night sky, and wonderful lines faintly appeared on the fish scales, like a map.

"Do you think this map looks familiar?" He asked me with a grin.

I frowned, carefully observed the scales, remembered the streets and alleys that Village Chief Liu led us through today, and opened my mouth in surprise, isn't this the street map of the fishing village?

The zigzag lines converge in the center of the scales, where is the wooden house of Village Chief Liu, it seems that in order to solve the mystery of the merman, you must go to Village Chief Liu's house to see.

Gu Qihan took me and walked ghostly on the path of the fishing village, the strange thing was that there was no light in the houses on both sides of the road, and it was dark all around, and I could only hear the sound of the waves crashing on the reef in the distance.

After a while, we came to the village chief's house, and Gu Qihan pulled me into the courtyard of the village chief, and he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the lock on the wooden door.

The door opened, revealing a dark living room.

By the moonlight outside the window, I saw the luxurious decoration of the house, and I couldn't help but be stunned, the floor made of gold, the crystal chandelier, and the coffee table made of high-grade agarwood...... It's even more magnificent than the palace.

There was a faint sound of conversation coming from the room, Gu Qihan and I glanced at each other, and walked over vigilantly, the sound turned out to be coming from under the tiles in the corner of the living room.

Gu Qihan gently brushed his hand on the tile, and the hollow tile moved silently to the side. It turned out that there was a huge basement underneath it, with a huge pool of water chiseled in the middle.

In the middle of the pool, there are dozens of half-human, half-fish sharks soaking in the water, all of them are females, with beautiful faces and proud figures, but there are also some sharks whose stomachs are slightly bulging, looking like they are pregnant. The water in the pond is filled with the excrement of the mermaids, which looks very dirty. The mermaids who stayed in the water were all haggard, and many parts of their bodies had festered.

Gu Qihan handed me an invisibility talisman, and after seeing that I had pasted it, he took me to a corner of the basement in a flash.

The sound we heard earlier was from Village Chief Liu and some fishermen, and at this moment Village Chief Liu was sitting on a carved wooden chair next to the pool, and in front of him knelt a trembling young man.

"Village chief, this person actually wanted to run today when we weren't paying attention, and he still had fish scales in his hand." A strong fisherman kicked the young man violently and spoke viciously.

Village Chief Liu stared at the young man kneeling in front of him, and said with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Oh? With fish scales in your hands and you want to run, what, are you trying to save these sharks? ”

After that, Village Chief Liu sneered and said disdainfully, "I think you better save yourself first, as long as you don't smoke shark powder for a day, you will not only be in pain, but you will gradually lose your memory." When the time comes, let alone avenge these mermen, it is estimated that you will not even remember your last name. ”

"Yes, Wang Xiang, don't be delusional, a few decades ago, there was not a villager who ran away with fish scales, we all thought that the road to making a fortune with sharks would be exposed, who knew that he actually went to the south to do business, and forgot all the things in the fishing village." A swarthy fisherman seemed to have a good relationship with Wang Xiang and stood up to persuade him.

Wang Xiang listened to his words, his eyes full of hatred glanced at him suddenly, and he struggled to stand up, but he was still restrained by the fishermen beside him, so he could only maintain a kneeling posture and said angrily, "Village Chief Liu, do you still have any humanity?" The merman has just given birth to my child, and you killed him and refined him into shark oil and ground him into merman powder, and I haven't even had time to look at him! ”

Village Chief Liu snorted coldly, "What's the use of a male merman?" Neither weeping beads nor weaving dragon silk, but when they grow up, they will use spells to attack people, and male sharks will be killed when they are born, which is the rule of the fishing village for a hundred years! Is it just because you have a ridiculous relationship with that mermaid that you let the whole fishing village take risks? ”

Wang Xiang's eyes showed resentment, and he stared at Village Chief Liu and said hatefully word by word, "So you have to feed me merman powder, so that I can't get rid of your control?" Even if I, Wang Xiang, fight for my life today, I will go out with fish scales and seek justice for my child! ”

"Presumptuous!" Village Chief Liu stood up, pointed at Wang Xiang's nose and scolded fiercely, "I see that you grew up in a fishing village, so I saved your life again and again." But this time you have threatened the fishing village, and according to the village rules, I must execute you! ”

After Village Chief Liu finished speaking, he closed his eyes with great difficulty, and then waved his hand at a fisherman standing next to Wang Xiang, and the muscular fisherman pulled out a dagger from his body and walked towards Wang Xiang.

The sharks in the pond were all in a commotion at this time, and they were a little upright, but they still slapped the smooth pool wall with their fish tails with difficulty, trying to go ashore to rescue the young man.

Among them, there was a soft-looking merman, who was anxiously stretching out his hands in the direction of Wang Xiang, opening his mouth but unable to make a sound, his voice seemed to be poisoned and dumb, and he could only make monotonous syllables. Large teardrops continued to flow from her eye sockets, which landed on the water with a "plopping" sound, and the tears had turned into large pearls.

From time to time, fishermen hold fishing nets and catch pearls in the water, ignoring the angry gaze of the female merman. From time to time, they even picked up a whip and whipped these hateful sharks with hateful faces, which turned out that this is how the festering wounds on the mermaids came from!

It turns out that the reason why the fishermen of this fishing village are so rich without production is because they cruelly keep sharks in captivity. In mythology, it is recorded that the merman is full of treasures, weeping tears into beads, without weaving, can spin a precious fabric dragon silk, scales and tail fin grinding into the merman powder like a drug, has a hallucinogenic effect.

Male mermen will attack spells, while female mermen will only bewitch humans with their songs. Therefore, the people of the fishing village killed the male merman, poisoned the female merman, kept them in captivity in the pool, and let the villagers mate with them, and the baby merman born continued this miserable fate.

At this time, I remembered what Village Chief Liu said before, "Outsiders don't want to leave when they come", and suddenly understood what he meant, I couldn't help but glance at Gu Qihan meaningfully, others want you to be a breeding pig!
