Chapter 7:
Although his mouth was full of sand, Zhou Suiyu had a great harvest that night.
First of all, for the first time in his life, he saw the real appearance of the mermaid. Although he saw the back and the silver-white fish tail, he didn't see the mermaid's face clearly, but it was a worthwhile trip.
Secondly, he picked up a few small potatoes and small pearls on the beach, and after returning, he found a larger pearl on the kitchen chopping board.
- I have to say that this mermaid is cruel and cruel, but she knows social etiquette, and she even knows that she can't eat for free.
Compared to Zhou Suiyu, Xu Qingshu was obviously not so lucky tonight.
Not to mention the cold wind blowing on the sea for a long time with an empty stomach, he was slapped by the oarfish. He couldn't put his anger on the oarfish, so he had to put all his anger on Zhou Suiyu.
Seeing Zhou Suiyu limping back, not only did he not care a word, but he pulled down his face and slammed the door into his room.
Zhou Suiyu originally wanted to share with him what he saw and heard tonight. Seeing Xu Qingshu's appearance, he simply didn't bother to say it anymore.
This night's experience was so thrilling that Shen An'an and the old turtle were still in shock when they returned to the underwater cave.
The oarfish had already come back ahead of the two of them. Seeing them rolling in and out of breath, he couldn't help but anxiously went up to them and asked, "What's the matter? Did something happen?"
The old turtle opened his mouth and cried loudly: "...Mom, I'm so scared, woo woo woo woo..."
The oarfish: "...Whoever is called mother, I can't give birth to such an ugly son of a turtle."
Shen Anan's psychological quality is stronger than that of the old sea turtle. After wiping the water on his forehead, he quickly calmed down, and then explained to Huangdaoyu: "...Oh, don't mention it, I was almost caught by that human scientist. "
The oarfish turned pale in shock: "Huh?"
Shen An'an briefly explained what happened tonight in a few words, and then handed the braised pork back from the bag to the oarfish: "Eat it, eat it, eat it for the next day. I don't know when I will be able to eat it!"
Anyway, after such a mess tonight, she wouldn't dare to go ashore again in the short term.
So terrifying! !
It's just a pity for her potatoes...
After this night, Shen An'an stayed in the sea for several days without going out to sea. How to say life on the seabed, it can't be described simply as boring, it can be said to be quite boring.
After all, there is no need to go to school or work, and there is no mobile phone or network, and there is no difference between day and night.
Shen Anan can only do nothing every day to put the pearls she cried out on the shells of the old turtles, or use the knife she returned from the island to carve letters in the caves...
Shen An'an suddenly fully understood why the little mermaid would risk her life to go to the island to play, and even fully understood why the little mermaid fell in love with the male protagonist at first sight, all because she was so cute! none! chat! La!
After all, when you're bored, what's better to kill time than talking about a mermaid love?
It turns out that there is.
"Pick up trash? Go go go, I'll go."
When Huang Taiyu saw that she was too bored and tentatively asked Shen An'an if he wanted to pick up marine garbage with him, Shen An'an agreed almost without thinking.
Although she has been here for a while, she spends most of the time in the cave, and most of the time she floats on the sea to eat in the clouds, or go to the reef to sing, so she doesn't really enjoy the seabed. visited.
At this moment, she was strolling around the seabed in the name of picking up garbage, and she couldn't help but sigh again, the seabed is really dark...
Fortunately, she had a night pearl for lighting, otherwise she wouldn't know what kind of undersea monster she bumped into head-on.
In addition to black, there are really many shipwrecks on the seabed.
Shen An'an's previous impression of the shipwreck was still in the well-known movie "youjump Ijump". Now that she saw these huge ship wrecks, she became more and more aware of the turbulent undercurrents beneath the calm surface of the ocean.
Fortunately, these wrecks seem to be old and not recently wrecked ships, otherwise Shen Anan would have worried about seeing strange things on the ship.
At first glance, oarfish often do things like picking up garbage, because they are extraordinarily skilled.
He didn't know where to get a particularly large net bag, and threw all kinds of glass bottles, plastic bottles, discarded fishing nets, plastic bags, etc. from the bottom of the sea into the net bag.
While picking them up, he patiently explained to Shen An'an: "...These must be picked up, and they cannot be left on the seabed, because it is very dangerous, in case they are accidentally swallowed or entangled in passing marine creatures , could lead to their death…”
Shen Anan silently followed behind the oarfish to help, but there was a rare fiery expression on her face.
Because although these things were not thrown by her, they were all done by her own kind, which made Shen Anan feel ashamed.
The two just picked up the big net bag brought by the oarfish, and then dragged the big bag of garbage to the surface.
There are also some inaccessible islands far away from the islands where the scientists live. There is almost no life on the islands, not even vegetation, just bare stones.
This is the oarfish garbage disposal station. Usually, he just threw the garbage picked up from the bottom of the sea on the barren island and it was done.
But Shen Anan remembered the box of matches she had taken from the island that day, and silently took it out from her pocket.
Very good, the matches still seem to work under the protection of several layers of plastic bags.
She first asked the oarfish to take out all the rubbish, then simply sorted the rubbish, and finally struck a match and threw it in, and started burning the rubbish.
In the raging fire, Shen Anan let out a long sigh: "Alas, it would be great if there were two little potatoes in such a big fire!"
Zhou Suiyu hadn't heard the singing of the Little Mermaid for several days, and nothing was left in the kitchen, which made Zhou Suiyu quite uncomfortable.
Although he can still concentrate on his research at other times, when it comes to cooking, he can't help but think about The Little Mermaid.
I wonder if she is dissatisfied with today's dishes, if she will sing on the reefs at sea again today, or if she just appears in his kitchen boldly riding an old turtle like last time...
In the past few days, he has regretted the removal of the surveillance in the kitchen more than once. If he hadn't removed the surveillance, he might be able to see how the mermaid stole the food that day, and how he came up with the idea of exchanging pearls for food. Manipulative.
The other research projects he is currently working on have basically entered the final stage. In other words, in the next month or two, all his work focus will shift to the research on the Little Mermaid. .
But if the little mermaid refuses to appear, then his research will inevitably stagnate, and it seems that he has to think of something quickly.
After lunch that day, Zhou Suiyu habitually took the "Little Mermaid Research Report" and went for a walk on the beach, and then unknowingly walked to the place where he slipped on a potato last time.
At the time, he only thought it was extremely absurd, but looking back on it now, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Throwing potatoes and tripping people... thanks to the little mermaid for figuring it out.
Zhou Suiyu sat down on the beach and spread out the "Little Mermaid Research Report" in his hand.
Now the report is still the same lines he wrote before, except that the last line of the sentence "Biological trait that needs to be proven: gluttony" has been changed to "Proven biological trait: gluttony".
In addition, the report also includes a portrait of the Little Mermaid.
It was painted by Zhou Suiyu that night after seeing the Little Mermaid in his room.
In the picture, the silver fish tail of the Little Mermaid is clearly discernible, and the long braids are swaying cheerfully in the wind, and the old sea turtle underneath is a bit unpleasant.
Zhou Suiyu slowly stroked the little mermaid in the portrait, trying to think about the problem in the mind of a foodie.
If he was a foodie like a mermaid, what kind of human would he have a good impression of?
The first condition to be met must be to be good at cooking; the next condition to be met is to have no malice towards the Little Mermaid at all.
Zhou Suiyu is actually satisfied with these two points, but the difficulty is, how can he let the little mermaid know that he has no malice towards her?
Zhou Suiyu thought about it, and finally decided to do what he liked.
At dinner that day, Zhou Suiyu deliberately made an extra cola chicken wing, and then took the initiative to drive the boat out to sea and put the chicken wing on the reef where Shen Anan sang before.
In the past two days, Shen An'an hardly made a hole except picking up garbage, and did not pay attention to the movements of the two scientists on the island. On the contrary, the oarfish can't be idle. In addition to picking up garbage every day, he will routinely find a fish PK to vent his excess energy.
He doesn't always win PK, and occasionally gets injured, but he has a very strong recovery ability and will be alive and kicking within two days, so Shen An'an and the old turtle are not surprised to see him go into the hole with an injury.
But on this day, in addition to returning with a whole body injury, he also brought back a plate of chicken wings beyond Shen An'an's expectations.
Shen An'an saw the chicken wings' involuntarily glowing eyes: "God, where did you get it back?"
Oarfish: "It's on the reef where you usually sing, as if someone put it on purposely."
It is the so-called diligence for nothing, not a traitor or a thief.
Shen Anan looked at the plate of chicken wings and was a little reluctant to eat: "Will you not be drugged?"
The oarfish looked confident: "No! I already ate a piece on the way back, no problem."
No medicine?
Since there is no medicine, what does the scientist mean?
Could it be…
"You said that the scientist didn't like me, did you?"
The oarfish looked solemn: "He thinks beautifully!"
"It's really beautiful." Shen Anan picked up a piece of chicken wing from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, puffing out his cheeks and saying vaguely, "You want to chase after me just by giving you a chicken wing, do you really think we mermaids don't want to lose face? I Let me tell you, we mermaids are very principled, unless there is spicy crayfish and Jiugongge hot pot, I will never consider mermaid love, absolutely! No!"
The oarfish on the side: "..." Then you are really principled
Zhou Suiyu continued to deliver food to Shen An'an for a week, three meals a day, rain or shine.
After it was delivered, even Xu Qingshu couldn't stand it anymore, and sneered: "Are you imitating Jiang Taigong to fish? After all, Jiang Taigong still prepares a fishing rod for fishing. What are you doing?"
Zhou Suiyu turned a deaf ear, what to do.
On this day, he went to the reef to deliver delicious food to the little beauty as usual, but as soon as he stepped on the reef with the food on his forefoot, something grabbed the corner of his clothes and dragged him into the sea.
When Shen An'an and the oarfish appeared, the shark was opening its mouth wide and ready to swallow Zhou Suiyu in one bite.
The oarfish rushed past like an arrow from the string, and soon scuffled with the shark.
Shen An'an didn't care about them, but swam towards Zhou Suiyu who was falling sharply with her fish tail.
In the last second before Zhou Suiyu fell into a coma, what he saw was that he was wrapped around his body by a silver-white fish tail.
