Chapter 5
Chapter 4:
When Shen Anan first came across, the old turtle had frightened her, saying that she was still a minor and could not go ashore without authorization, otherwise she would faint at light, and at worst, her life would be at risk.
But what Shen Anan learned during this time was that the mermaid did not faint as soon as she landed, but after leaving the ocean for a certain period of time, she fainted due to dryness and lack of water.
Although it is not clear how long this certain period of time is, Shen Anan guessed that the time for an underage mermaid like her to leave the ocean and stay on the shore must be very short. .
Because she was afraid of going ashore rashly, an accident would happen, so Shen Anan temporarily changed her mind halfway through swimming toward the island, and decided to find a reef outcropping at sea to test how long she could stay out of the ocean.
She now has neither a watch nor a mobile phone, so the familiar timekeeping methods cannot be used.
After thinking about it, she finally sat down on the reef on the shore and started counting.
Judging from the results of the test, she can currently leave the ocean for no more than ten minutes, because when she silently counts to 600, she already has a feeling of shortness of breath.
In other words, from the time she left the ocean, went ashore, found the fried chicken chop, successfully ate it, and then returned to the ocean, all of this needs to be completed within ten minutes.
And it can’t be discovered by the scientist on the island.
If she has legs, it is not impossible to do all this within 10 minutes, but the problem is… Shen Anan looked at her fish tail with a headache, because she is still a minor, even if she leaves the ocean, she will not Ways to evolve human legs.
Imagining herself dragging her tail and crawling on the shore, Shen Anan suddenly felt that even the fried chicken chops became less fragrant.
The old turtle was still uneasy after thinking about it, so he waited in the cave for a while and didn’t see Shen Anan returning, and immediately sent the oarfish to the sea to see the situation.
As soon as the oarfish went out to sea, he saw Shen An’an sitting on the reef, with his mouth open to cry, looking at the island not far away in a daze, the figure looked pitiful and helpless, what a miserable fish!
The oarfish suddenly gave birth to the sadness of an old father seeing his greedy daughter, he sighed, and was preparing to organize words to comfort Shen Anan.
I saw Shen An’an looking back, staring at him with bright eyes, and said, “The oarfish, have you heard of the strategy of turning the tiger away from the mountain?”
Oarfish: “…”
Tune the tiger away from the mountain? What is this, you are embarrassing my oarfish!
Shen An’an spent ten minutes and painstakingly explained to the oarfish what it means to tame the tiger and leave the mountain, and then she shared her “stealing” plan.
“…No, no, no, it’s too much to call it a stealing plan. It should be called a double-C plan – after all, the English name of chicken chop is ChickenChop.”
Oarfish: “…”
Shen An’an’s stealing plan, no, the double-C plan, simply put, Shen An’an was going to use herself as “bait” to lead the scientist on the island to the beach, and then let the oarfish take the opportunity to help her cook the fried chicken. Steal out.
She had already thought very clearly on the reef just now. By herself, I am afraid that she would not be able to successfully get the fried chicken chop within ten minutes and still get out.
So she needs a helper.
The oarfish is the best candidate.
But the oarfish did nothing serious. Last time, Shen Anan asked him to help stun the scientist on the ship. As a result, the scientist did not show up for several days after the filming, and even followed the human material two days ago. The boat left the island.
Although Shen An’an didn’t know what the scientist was doing when he left the island, she extremely suspected that the poor scientist was shot with internal injuries by the oarfish…
With the lessons learned last time, Shen An’an didn’t dare to let the oarfish clash with humans again.
It is inconvenient for me to go ashore, but the oarfish can go ashore but can no longer have a head-on conflict with the human, so the best way is to lead the scientist away from the fried chicken chop. In this way, the head-on conflict between the oarfish and the human is avoided. , and it is convenient for the oarfish to steal chicken chops, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
On the one hand, Shen Anan sighed that she was really a genius, but on the other hand, she couldn’t help but sighed inwardly. The time went back a few months ago, if someone told her that one day she would try her best to make every effort for a piece of fried chicken chop. , even using the thirty-six tactics of Sun Tzu’s art of war, it is estimated that she would not believe it, but now, Shen Anan just wants to say that if it is not because she doesn’t want to reveal her identity, she doesn’t even mind the beauty trick.
After Zhou Suiyu wrote those few lines on “The Little Mermaid Research Report”, he got up and went back to his room, then sat on the desk in front of the window, and began to pay attention to the movement on the other side.
From the window of his room, he could clearly see the counter in the kitchen, as well as the dinner on it, especially the fried chicken chop.
Anyway, as long as the mermaid really appears in this kitchen, Zhou Suiyu can definitely see it at a glance.
But he waited, waited, waited, and saw that the food on the counter was getting cold, but there was still no movement in the kitchen.
Could it be that the previous peeping was just his illusion?
Or, the reason why the mermaid peeped secretly at the beginning was not the food he made, but the human being?
Those who are familiar with Zhou Suiyu know that he has a calm temperament and rarely shows an eager look for something, but looking at the silent kitchen at this moment, Zhou Suiyu is rarely restless.
Just when he was hesitating whether to re-fry the cold fried chicken chop, a song suddenly came from the sea.
Zhou Suiyu suspected that he had heard it wrong at first, but when he listened carefully, he found that the singing not only existed, but also gradually increased.
And it doesn’t look like a human voice at all, because it is extraordinarily ethereal and dreamy, rather like some kind of sea creature.
Thinking of the online rumors about mermaids being “good at singing”, Zhou Suiyu suddenly stood up from the desk.
Before Shen Anan opened her mouth to sing, she was actually very uneasy. Although the oarfish repeatedly assured her that her singing voice was very beautiful, but in the real world, Shen Anan was actually a tone-deaf person, so she deliberately practiced in a low voice After a long time, he opened his mouth.
Facts have proved that the voice condition of the little mermaid is really unique, even if Shen Anan just hums at will, it is very beautiful because the innate conditions are too superior.
So much so that she frantically blows rainbow farts to herself while singing.
-What is a throat kissed by an angel, what is a walking CD, this is it! !
—Is such a sound of nature real? Will others misunderstand that it is the gods who are singing now?
—God, today is also a day to be fascinated by myself.
…
I don’t know how long it took to sing, and finally there was movement on the island – someone came over.
Probably afraid of disturbing the little mermaid singing in the night, Zhou Suiyu did not turn on the lights, but slowly approached Shen Anan’s direction by the dim moonlight.
Shen An’an has excellent eyesight in the dark now, so when she saw someone walking towards this side, she immediately winked at the oarfish and signaled him to start moving.
When the oarfish quietly left, Shen An’an also turned over from the reef and hid her lower body into the sea, leaving only her upper body lying on the reef she was sitting on before, and then, under the cover of the night and the reef, she sang even more vigorously. .
– She’s not the kind of person who eats free food, she gets her fried chicken chops with a beautiful singing voice! !
Although Zhou Suiyu could hear the singing, his eyesight was not as good as Shen An’an’s, so he couldn’t see the little mermaid at all.
He wanted to go directly to the boat and sing to see the true face of the Little Mermaid’s Mount Lu, but he was afraid that if the other party was disturbed, the other party would hide without a trace like before, so he had to restrain this impulse and force Stand by the beach and listen quietly.
At least now he can add a new line of text to his “The Little Mermaid Research Report” – the mermaid’s ability to sing is not a false rumor, it is real.
Shen Anan watched and listened to all directions while singing, and she stopped excitedly until the figure of the oarfish appeared on the other side of the beach.
Zhou Suiyu stood on the shore for a while in a loss, until he was sure that the mermaid would no longer sing, and then slowly turned around and walked back.
When he passed by the door of the kitchen window, he subconsciously tilted his head and glanced at the counter, only to find that the dishes originally placed on the counter were all gone.
“…”
Compared to Zhou Suiyu’s messy wind at the moment, a carnival feast was being held on a reef in the sea not far from him.
A mermaid, an old turtle, and an oarfish, each holding a piece of fried chicken, are feasting in the moonlight.
To be honest, the fried chicken chops that have cooled down actually don’t taste very good, but Shen An’an still eats a whole book with satisfaction. But this is understandable, after all, anyone who has eaten the tasteless underwater plankton like her for such a long time will be satisfied when they suddenly eat the delicious food of human beings.
What’s more, what the oarfish brought back was not just fried chicken chops, he also brought back a beef bone with sauce.
This is beef bone with sauce!
The beef above is not only marinated and delicious, but also salty and mild, with moderate hardness and softness. Gently biting and tearing it with his teeth, the beef was peeled off from the beef bone. Compared with the fragrant and glutinous beef, the beef tendon inside was so chewy that Shen Anan couldn’t wait to scream at the sky while eating. —Mom, I have eaten meat, and after many days, I am finally alive again! !
The old turtle eating the beef bone with sauce was extremely conflicted in his heart.
He is extremely distrustful of human beings, because he has lived to this age and has seen many bad things that humans do to the ocean and marine life, so he has been trying to prevent the little mermaid from getting close to humans.
But… human food is really fragrant!
So much so that while he was eating, he couldn’t help but secretly spurned that he couldn’t control this broken mouth.
However, he also secretly swore in his heart that such a thing would only happen once.
As a result, just thinking about it, she saw Shen Anan clasped her hands beside her, looking towards the island and praying sincerely: “I want to eat spicy Xiaolongxia, I want to eat spicy crayfish, I want to eat spicy crayfish…”
“…”
The author has something to say: Shen Anan: “Do you know how hard I work to stutter?”
Zhou Suiyu: “…I really didn’t know it before, but now I know.”
