Sifeng pulled Xuanji's sleeve, pretending to be an ordinary passer-by, standing on tiptoe in front of the glass cylinder and watching.
The water in the glass jar was not clearer than that day. It was probably because people had smashed too many things into it, and it became muddy and yellow. The surface of the water was lifeless and there was no ripple. I don't know if the merman is still alive.
"Is it... dead?" Xuanji asked softly.
Zhong Minyan shook his head and was about to speak. The officer in front of the guard smiled and said: "It won't die! Little sister, you don't know, monsters are not that easy to die. This monster will be escorted to Beijing in two days!"
Xuanji said "Oh" and looked up at him sincerely, "Uncle, can I take a closer look? I haven't seen a monster yet."
The official hesitated, "I'm afraid... it's not good. This monster is so ugly, my little sister will have nightmares."
Xuanji frowned slightly: "Just take a look, okay?"
The official poor could not meet the begging of the beautiful little girl, and finally let her in with relentlessness.
Xuanji walked to the front of the glass jar. This was the second time she had approached this merman. She still remembered that when he saw him for the first time, he looked at her with those wise eyes, his eyes were full of sadness. Strangely, the sadness was calm, as if he didn't care about being treated like this.
She reached out and tapped on the glass jar, and the water in the jar suddenly changed, as if something was swimming in it. Immediately afterwards, a pale face appeared, clinging to the wall of the tank.
He seemed to know that she was here, so he didn't move, but looked at her quietly. After a long while, the corner of her lips twitched, and she actually gave him a smile.
Xuanji couldn't help but "Ah", the official behind hurriedly hugged her away, and said: "Scared! This demon is cunning!"
After she finished speaking, she kicked the tank violently, and the pale face quickly disappeared into the muddy water.
Xuanji was still in shock, and whispered: "His face... a lot of injuries!"
The official clerk smiled and said, "I told you not to watch. Okay, go home obediently."
Xuanji glanced at the glass jar reluctantly, then turned and left. Zhong Minyan followed her, and the two of them found an alley and hid, while covering the black cloth.
"Did you see him?" Zhong Minyan asked.
Xuanji nodded: "He has a lot of injuries, but some don't seem to be hit by a stone. Maybe someone tied him with an iron chain, as if there are traces of a whip..."
"He has been abused?!" Zhong Minyan was a little angry, "This merman is too useless. If it is a demon, how can he be abused so easily by others!"
Xuanji sighed: "He looks very weak... Let's not talk about it. It seems that Si Feng is about to start!"
The two of them hid behind the wall and watched. Not far away, Yu Sifeng made a concealed gesture to them. The two immediately understood and put the black cloth on their heads, leaving only two holes in front of them.
Yu Sifeng pretended to be a passing person, stopped and watched for a long time in front of the glass cylinder, and then slowly retreated behind the crowd, pinpointing a gap, squeezing an iron pellet out , and pouring his infuriating energy. He bounced out.
Everyone could only hear a "swish", and then the glass jar snapped to pieces, and muddy water poured out. For a while, the scene was in chaos. People hid, yelled, and were in a daze. Even the guards were messed up, looking for suspicious people everywhere like flies without their heads.
Yu Sifeng took the opportunity to grab the body, shot like electricity, first tapped the acupuncture points of a few people around the glass cylinder, and then threw the smoke bombs he had prepared on the ground.
With a "pounce" sound, the light purple smoke rises on the ground, the taste is extremely spicy. At this time, people are even more chaotic, and the officials can't see anything. They can only shout desperately: "Look at the glass jar! Look at the monster!"
Just when they straightened their throats and shouted, Xuanji and Zhong Minyan had already secretly taken away the merman who was lying on the ground immobile.
When the smoke finally dissipated, people rubbed their eyes full of tears, and when they came to search again, they found that there was nothing left in the broken glass jar, only large and small stones at the bottom of the jar!
There is a large lake at the foot of Lutai Mountain. It is said that Gu eagles once hid in it to drag people, so no one dares to come over and stay.
Xuanji and the other two carried the merman to the lake and placed him gently on the rock. Zhong Minyan rushed all the way, but actually forgot to raise his breath. This would be so tired that he couldn't say anything. He could only squat on the ground and breathe, and said intermittently: "Xuanji...you, you first...take care of him..."
Xuanji squatted beside the merman, and saw that he was wounded all over, but there was no good place, so she couldn't help but sighed: "You...does it hurt? I have medicine here and I can give it to you."
The merman just looked at her quietly, as if he couldn't understand her, and didn't even blink his eyes.
Xuanji pulled Zhong Minyan's sleeve: "What should I do, he doesn't seem to understand me?"
"You... don't care if he doesn't understand! This, this dressing, dressing, and releasing!" Zhong Minyan finally lay down on the ground, not wanting to say a word.
Xuanji took out the Shaoyang School's unique Jinchuang medicine from the skin on her waist, stared at the scars all over his body, and looked at him for a long time. There was blood and water on it, and it was dirty. The blisters are whitish.
She quickly tore her handkerchief in half, soaked in the lake water to clean his wounds, and then gave him medicine. Fortunately, a lot of people were injured recently due to the demon hunting, and there was still a gauze bandage left, enough to wrap him firmly.
She gave him a good medicine, Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief, and simply learned from Zhong Minyan, sitting on the grass with her chin resting on her knees, staring blankly at the merman.
Although this is the third time she has observed the merman at close range, after all, he was in the water the first two times. Now that there is no water, he looks pale and decadent. A long hair like algae hangs tangled on the back of his chest. It is different from ordinary people's hair color. Merman's hair was black like sandalwood, black with purple, it looks especially gorgeous in the sun.
His eyes are pale blue like lake water, and the eye sockets are narrower than ordinary people, and they are more profound. Under the straight bridge of the nose, there are thin lips, probably because of too much torture, the lips are pale and look very embarrassed.
However, no matter how you look at it, he is a "person" with a unique charm. Maybe it's not as elegant as Yu Sifeng, or maybe not as handsome as Zhong Minyan, but anyone who has seen him once can never forget him. Xuanji can't forget those pale blue eyes that are faintly sad, and she can't forget the gentle peace that is unique to him.
Xuanji looked silly, vaguely felt that there was a smile in his clear eyes, she suddenly regained consciousness, and pulled Zhong Minyan's clothes and said: "Look, look! He is laughing! Is he free? Very happy now?"
Zhong Minyan raised his head and looked at him, "Where is the laugh! You look stupid!"
He moved his muscles and bones, jumped up from the grass, looked around, and said, "That boy Sifeng, why haven't you come yet! Shouldn't you have any trouble? Xuanji, or you can go ahead and take a look. ?"
Xuanji didn't listen to him at all, she was holding the steamed cake baby to the front of the man.
"Are you hungry?" She asked carefully, "Want to eat?"
The merman still didn't speak, just looked at her lightly. Xuanji put the steamed cake to her mouth and took a bite, indicating that the thing is edible, and then handed the unbitten one to his mouth, her eyes full of expectation sparkling.
He still doesn't move, sitting there like a log.
"He doesn't like eating our food!" Zhong Minyan was also attracted, "He is a merman, and he should eat merman's food."
Xuanji said strangely: "What does that merman eat?"
"Uh..." Zhong Minyan thought about it seriously, "The shark lives in the water, like a fish...It should be eating small bugs and shrimps! You might as well dig some earthworms to feed him!"
"Earthworm?"
! Xuanji couldn't help being covered with black lines, and the shark on the opposite side seemed to sweat a bit, but he still stayed silent.
"Sail men, and humans, eat the same things." Yu Sifeng's voice sounded behind.
Zhong Minyan hurriedly jumped up, "How is it? Has anyone found it?"
Yu Sifeng shook his head and walked over. First, he looked at the merman and saw that he was covered with bandages. He couldn't help but warmly asked Xuanji: "Did you do it?"
Xuanji nodded, "I just don't know if the human gold creation medicine is useful for him."
He smiled: "It's useful. Don't worry."
