MTL - The Male Supporting Roles Who Are Lonely and Old All the Time-Chapter 88 .Green Mermaid Patriarch 3
The return journey was dangerous, and Thea just woke up weak and needed to rest for a few days. Taking advantage of this time, He Dongchen memorized the books in the Library Pavilion, and then went around the Mermaid Palace, so as not to have to go there next time he had something to do.
They often walk along the shore without getting wet shoes. The Mermaid Palace is their ancestral land, which is related to the secret of their identities. If they can't come, they won't come, so as not to be noticed by those who are interested.
He Dongchen planned to develop the Mermaid Clan's business in other directions after going back, so as to confuse the public.
This afternoon, he just came out of Zangshu Pavilion.
"Dong Chen."
A voice came from the side, and He Dongchen looked, and saw Thea swaying her beautiful tail, swimming towards him slowly, the upper body of the small dress made of pearl egg, swaying gently against her slender and powerful waist, The long golden hair is as soft and flowing as seaweed.
"Give me your hand." Thea swam up to He Dongchen and stretched out her hand towards him. In the other hand, she held a small golden clam shell, which contained a lump of green paste, which was solidified in the sea water.
He Dongchen raised his eyebrows slightly, stretched out his right hand, and the two rows of teeth marks on his wrist were still clearly visible.
Thea evenly applied the green paste on the teeth marks, and her lowered brows and eyes were full of apology: "I just woke up that day, and I couldn't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, so I hurt you."
He Dongchen felt his hands were icy and cold, and nodded lightly: "A little injury, it's hard for you to remember."
Thea blushed when she heard the words, and said shyly: "This herb is still picked in the medicine garden of your Mermaid Palace, but the production method is the secret method of my Xitu tribe!"
"I made more, you take it with you and apply it slowly, you can use it when you get hurt in the future." Thea said as she took out a tightly closed small sea oyster from the small square pearl bag on her back. And metaphor.
He Dongchen took it, played with it for a while, and then said regretfully: "It's hard to explain the origin of this deep-sea thing, which was exposed when it was brought ashore."
Thea was stunned, then helped her forehead, and gave a wry smile: "After ten years of sleep, I feel that I am out of place." The wound medicine made by their tribe in the past was so sought-after, but now it has become tasteless.
"It's okay, it's a process to get used to it slowly." He Dongchen comforted, turned around and put the medicine into the library, "I will keep your heart well."
Thea opened her mouth, and pointed to the place where He Dongchen came out in disbelief: "Then that's Zangshu Pavilion?"
"That's right." He Dongchen nodded.
Thea blushed, flicked her rose gold tail, and left quickly.
He Dongchen didn't know why, so a mermaid popped out of the side and winked at him: "Patriarch, you're progressing too fast, you sent Princess Thea's things to the library so quickly."
He Dongchen was slightly startled, then touched his nose.
There are not many books in the Zangshu Pavilion, but there are many other odds and ends. Those are special products brought by mermaids from other tribes after they marry in, to show the glory of the tribe.
He Dongchen laughed, and re-entered the library, and put the delicate and small sea clam in its proper place.
A few days later, most of Thea's body recovered, and the group returned.
Before Thea left, she was staring in a certain direction in a daze, with a look of grief on her brows and eyes.
He Dongchen apologized: "There is an urgent matter to deal with in the mainland, and I will accompany you back to Xitu when I have a chance in the future."
"Thank you." Thea smiled carefreely. When she turned around, a tear flew out of her eyes. The white light flashed and turned into a pearl, full of luster. The color followed Thea's tail. It was golden and pink, very beautiful.
He Dongchen stretched out his hand, caught the pearl, watched Thea's leaving back, and carefully put it away.
The return journey was not smooth, and I encountered attacks several times, but fortunately, there were no surprises every time.
Not to be outdone, Thea held a fork made of fish bones, and fought with various fish monsters. Her movements were skillful, her slender arms had amazing explosive power, and she could pierce hard fish heads.
The other mermaids felt their scalps go numb and cast sympathetic looks at the patriarch.
Living in the mainland these years, I am used to seeing delicate and weak female human beings, but I am not used to seeing Thea so fierce suddenly.
Thea frowned, pulled the harpoon out of the fish's head, flicked its tail, and the fish with its head broken quickly sank to the bottom of the sea without a trace.
"So unusable?" Thea frowned at the cracked harpoon, with a dissatisfied expression, she was not yet fully entertained.
He Dongchen swam over and handed her a good harpoon.
"It's important to go ashore, don't be entangled."
Thea nodded, and reluctantly glanced at the school of fish in the distance.
I don't know how long it took, the light above the head became more and more intense, and there were more sea creatures. Schools of fish of various colors passed by in groups, wagging their beautiful tails.
"Coming."
All the fish jumped for joy, wagging their tails even more cheerfully, and rushed to where they went into the sea.
"Wait, did you hear it?" He Dongchen stopped suddenly, closed his eyes and listened, and there was a faint singing voice above his head, it was the singing of a mermaid, and he seemed a little anxious.
"Not good! Long Snake Formation!" He Dongchen opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately changed direction, "It was detected on the boat that a group of sea snakes are rushing towards us."
When sea snakes reproduce, they will gather together to form a long snake formation stretching for tens of kilometers, densely packed, covering the sky and covering the sun, and no fish will be left wherever they go.
Although the mermaids are powerful, there are many ants that kill elephants and swarms of poisonous sea snakes, which are enough to make them retreat.
He Dongchen led Thea and the others to swim towards the vertical direction where the sea snake was coming. The ship had already avoided the sea snake and was there to meet them.
A group of people swam forward vigorously, flicked their powerful tails, and slid forward for more than ten meters. Suddenly, darkness hit the top of their heads. Thea looked back, her golden eyes shrunk, and her movements stopped for a moment.
"Don't look back." He Dongchen grabbed Thea's arm and swam forward firmly.
Thea came back to her senses, with lingering fears in her heart, and the temperature on her arm reassured her a little.
The Long Snake Formation came quickly, covering the sky and covering the earth.
He Dongchen and the others escaped without stopping, while the other schools of fish joined the escape team, ramming headlessly.
In the chaos, Thea was rushed away by the lightning fish that suddenly jumped out from behind, and fell behind, almost instantly, was submerged by dense sea snakes.
"Thea!" He Dongchen turned his head immediately, plunged into the sea snake group without hesitation, and let the other mermaids go first, and don't come in to hinder them.
The sea snake is not slippery, and it is highly poisonous. Even if it is a mermaid with a strong physique, it will be paralyzed for a moment after being bitten, and just this moment is enough to kill a mermaid without a place to bury it.
He Dongchen took the harpoon and stirred up an open space.
"Thea!"
"I'm here!" A voice came from the group of sea snakes in front of them, and they sounded full of energy and were not injured.
He Dongchen was overjoyed, and used a harpoon to clear the way, avoiding attacks again and again.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a harpoon falling from below, the one he had given to Thea earlier.
"Thea! Are you still there?"
There was no response from the front, and He Dongchen's face darkened, with a bad premonition in his heart.
Suddenly, with a swipe, the eyes suddenly opened up, and I saw Thea squeezed out of the group of sea snakes, her blond hair fluttered, her eyes were sharp, she was biting a sea snake in her mouth, she pulled her hands, the sea snake broke, and the blood gushed out in the sea and quickly faded away. Come.
It is obviously a very brutal scene, but on Thea, it is so beautiful and soul-stirring.
Suddenly, He Dongchen concentrated, threw the harpoon, brushed Thea's hair, and flew a sea snake that was sneaking up behind him.
Then he grabbed Thea and quickly left the sea snake group.
The two of them swam for an unknown amount of time, and gradually there were fewer and fewer sea snakes around, and the light above their heads became brighter and brighter.
"Patriarch! Princess Thea!" A few mermaids were waiting anxiously in front of them, and surrounded them with concern.
Thea looked back at the group of sea snakes in the distance, and breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a familiar figure hiding in the water plants with half of its tail exposed.
Thea was furious, borrowed a harpoon, approached quietly, and then threw the tail hard into the mud.
This is the culprit! She almost lost her life!
The Lightning Fish struggled frantically, the harpoon shook, Thea swam away, and fell down with a tail, the Lightning Fish returned to the west.
He Dongchen couldn't help but laugh, and really held grudges.
But beautiful.
After getting out of the crisis, the group did not dare to linger, and followed the guidance of the singing to swim to the surface of the sea.
After a few crashes, a few people leaned out of the sea, and there was a ship not far away. Other mermaids cheered and boarded the ship. He Dongchen grabbed Thea and said, "Stay in the water for a while, and I will get on the boat and bring you a piece of clothing."
Thea blinked: "Okay."
He Dongchen told her not to run around, and went ashore quickly, took the towel handed over by the tribe, and asked a mermaid Ah Yue to borrow a skirt.
The mermaid on the boat is unknown.
The mermaid who went into the sea explained in a hurry: "We found a huge sea clam outside the mermaid palace!"
"There is a sleeping mermaid in the clam."
"She's Xitu's Princess Thea! A rose gold tail! She's so beautiful!"
He Dongchen had already returned to the surface of the sea with the skirt in his hand. Seeing the beautiful black skirt with sparkling diamonds on it, Xi Ya's eyes lit up immediately, and she put it on herself without a teacher.
After boarding the boat, Thea's beautiful tail turned into two straight, white legs, and the black skirt stuck to her body, outlining her exquisite figure.
He Dongchen took a large clean towel, draped it over her body, and wrapped it up.
The other mermaids reacted and hurriedly introduced themselves enthusiastically.
Someone handed Thea a Coke.
Thea took a sip, her small faces were twisted together: "It tastes so strange."
Everyone laughed loudly. They had the same reaction when they drank Coke for the first time.
After a brief greeting, He Dongchen asked Ah Yue to take Thea to the room to get familiar with the environment.
"Patriarch, there is news from the island that the boy named An Yanshang is very smart and has already sensed something is wrong. I'm afraid we won't be able to hide for long."
"It's okay, I've found a solution, now turn the bow of the boat and go straight back to Pearl Island." He Dongchen ordered.
"Yes."
The ship turned around and headed quickly to Pearl Island.
At the same time, Pearl Island was calm, Hua Xue was still innocent, chasing her butterflies, pestering An Yan to praise her.
An Yan said a few perfunctory words, and shook his slightly aching head after the person left. In the past two days, some pictures appeared in his mind one after another. Miserable.
To make matters worse, he found more and more traces around him, and there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.
An Yan didn't know why the other party didn't do anything. On this isolated island, he couldn't fly.
An Yan couldn't figure it out, so he could only pretend that nothing had happened, and secretly frantically searched for opportunities to get out of the island.
This afternoon, An Yan had a bad premonition in his heart, which came out of nowhere and was very strong. He couldn't bear it any longer, and pushed Hua Xue into a small cave that he found unintentionally. This cave was deep and narrow. When the two of them entered it, as long as other people approached, shadows would appear on the ground, revealing their traces.
"Hey! What does that kid want to do?" The mermaid who watched them from a distance saw An Yan pushing Hua Xue into the cave, feeling a little depressed.
The mermaid tried to get close to the entrance of the cave, lying on the stone wall to eavesdrop, but when he heard a few guns rustling inside, he was furious and wanted to rush in and kick the man over and throw him into the sea.
"Don't be impulsive!" The companion pulled him away, hiding aside, out of sight and out of mind.
In the cave, Hua Xue covered her mouth, blushing, "You, you, how can you bite someone's mouth!"
An Yan looked at the silly Hua Xue, chuckled twice, raised her chin with one hand, and bewitched, "Hua Xue, do you want to go home with me?"
"Go home? Is it your home?" Hua Xue was stunned.
"No, it's our home, let's leave together." An Yan felt that he fell in love with this silly mermaid, so he didn't need to intrigue or secretly guard against it.
"Okay, okay, our home!" Hua Xue's heart skipped a beat, a pair of eyes shining brightly in the dark hole, shining with light.
An Yan pursed his lips, and said distressedly: "But how do we leave?" An Yan's mind went blank. Before seeing Hua Xue can conjure up a tail and move freely in the sea, he thought that he could do the same, and plunged headfirst into the sea. Almost drowned myself.
That's what made An Yanshang confirm that he shouldn't be on this island, and wanted to leave urgently.
"I know!" Hua Xue said excitedly, "I have a turtle friend, it's big enough to take us away."
An Yan was pleasantly surprised and hugged Hua Xue.
The two picked a dark night to leave the island. Hua Xue first went to the sea to find the turtle friend, while An Yan waited on the shore. As if he had figured out the disgust of the people in the dark, An Yan squatted behind the reef alone, half-covered and acted out the bed scene.
"Fuck! These two animals!" the mermaid cursed secretly.
The moon was high and the sea was calm.
An ambiguous groan came from behind the reef from time to time, and the two mermaids got annoyed and hid far away.
I don't know how long it took, the groaning disappeared, and there was only the sound of the waves at night.
The two mermaids looked at each other, broken!
When we reach the shore, how can there be any dogs and men!
Pearl Island immediately became noisy, and the troops were divided into three teams, one team searched the island, the other guarded the ships, and the last team went to sea to search.
More than a dozen yachts rushed into the sea, searching outwards from the island, not letting go of any corner.
"Found it! They ran away with sea turtles!" The patriarch had said before that Huaxue could summon sea turtles and asked them to prepare a few more yachts. Unexpectedly, it was true!
More than a dozen yachts quickly approached and chased after them, and the distance narrowed visibly with the naked eye.
An Yan was lying on the turtle's back, already drenched all over. Hearing the voice from behind, he was very anxious. No matter how fast the turtle was, he couldn't outrun the yacht!
"Why are they here?" Hua Xue wondered.
"Who are they?" An Yan shouted.
"My people."
A few strong lights came from behind, completely exposing the figures of the two.
An Yan's heart sank for the most part.
There seemed to be a piercing sound in the air. An Yan subconsciously threw himself to the side. Looking back, he saw an anesthesia injection in the turtle's back.
An Yan didn't care about thinking about why he knew this thing, so he quickly pulled out the anesthetic for the turtle and held it in his hand.
"Hua Xue! Let the turtle stop!" shouted the mermaid who was chasing after her.
"No! I want to go home with Yanshang! Don't chase after me!" Hua Xue said dissatisfied.
"Fuck! You idiot!" The mermaid cursed secretly, and continued to aim at An Yan, another shot to anesthetize her.
An Yan couldn't dodge it, he was shot in the shoulder, he grunted and pulled it out quickly. Seeing the yacht getting closer and closer, An Yan got impatient and shouted at Hua Xue: "I can't be caught back! I'm different from you! I can't change my tail!"
Hua Xue frowned, and finally realized the seriousness. That's right, An Yan is a human being, and if a human is caught by a mermaid, he will be thrown into the sea.
Hua Xue became serious, and patted An Yan on the shoulder: "Then you wait for me in the mainland, I'm a princess! They won't do anything to me."
After speaking, he turned around, jumped into the sea, and swam towards the yacht with his tail fluttering.
"Hua Xue!" An Yan lay on the turtle's back, watching Hua Xue's figure looming in the sea, his heart was filled with emotion, and he couldn't stop.
The turtle dutifully proceeded, and the yacht stopped and gave no more chase.
Everything seems to be over.
The anesthesia on An Yan's shoulders began to take effect, and his consciousness was blurred. He spread his whole body on the turtle's back, looking at the sky full of stars.
More and more memory fragments are connected into one.
He remembered that he was a little illegitimate child of An's family. He was looked down upon by others since he was a child and lived under the fence. In order to steal the secret of Pearl Island, he sneaked into the cultivation base and was rescued by a mermaid in a storm.
The whole island! All mermaids!
A mermaid that only exists in fairy tales!
An Yan felt that he was in an unprecedented trouble, but at the same time, it was also an unprecedented opportunity!
As long as he returns alive and tells the family the secret of Mermaid Island, his future will be bright.
An Yan was struggling crazily in his heart, one side was ambition, and the other was the back of Hua Xue jumping into the sea without hesitation to buy time for him.
Before he could figure out what was going on, An Yan's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally he couldn't bear the anesthesia and lost consciousness.
Closing his eyes, he seemed to see something overwhelming, hitting him.
brush!
He Dongchen commanded the clansmen to throw down a huge net and salvage the turtle and the male protagonist together.
Thea folded her arms, looked at the fainted An Yan, and said in a disdainful tone, "Is he just such a weak chicken?"
He Dongchen clenched his fists to his mouth, coughed, and said, "He's not weak, he can still escape from so many people's noses."
It's a pity that they happened to be on their way back and were caught in a net.
While talking, a mobile phone was handed over to the side, and He Dongchen took it and said: "The man has been caught, you go back."
"That's great." The opposite party breathed a sigh of relief. They were entangled by Hua Xue just now, and they were in a dilemma. Suddenly, they received a call from the patriarch, saying that there was no need to chase them. Fortunately, they were caught, otherwise they would be sinners of the mermaid clan.
He Dongchen hung up the phone and asked someone to drag An Yan up and down to take a good look at it. Then he moved his gaze to the sea turtle with its legs upturned. This sea turtle could be regarded as the golden finger of the heroine.
He thought for a while and ordered: "Raise it first, and find a cargo ship later, transport it to the ocean on the other side of the earth and release it."
He Dongchen would admire him if he could swim back.
The ship slowly approached the shore, He Dongchen took everyone out of the boat, An Yan was dragged behind him, his feet bumped left and right, no one cared.
"Speak!" Hua Xue turned pale, broke free from the shackles and stumbled over, patting An Yan's cheek anxiously, "Wake up, wake up."
An Yan was in a coma under anesthesia, how could he wake up.
Hua Xue was flustered, holding An Yan up and confronting everyone, "What did you do to him!"
Before He Dongchen opened his mouth, Thea on the side stepped forward, looked down at Hua Xue from above, and slightly parted his red lips: "Hua Xue, long time no see."
Hua Xue raised her head and saw Thea's face, she immediately became quiet, and suddenly covered her head, moaning in pain: "My head hurts, it hurts."
Everyone looked at each other, and He Dongchen waved: "Take him back and keep him under strict supervision."
"Yes."
He Dongchen looked sideways at Thea who looked complicated, and said softly: "Let's go back and rest for a night."
Thea nodded.
There are several villas in the middle of Pearl Island for mermaids to rest. Because it is near the sea and the security is tight, you can swim around the sea from time to time, so the jobs on the island are very sought-after, every two years, and every time you have to fight for your head.
That is Hua Xue, who can live on the island all the time without any worries.
Thea's room is arranged next to He Dongchen. Perhaps it was because he was the first person she saw when she woke up. Thea had a natural trust in He Dongchen, not to mention never leaving, at least knowing where he was and whether he would leave at all times.
Thea is the real princess of Xitu, with a rose gold tail, other mermaids don't think there is any problem.
"Good night." Thea said before entering the door. It is said that this is a sense of ritual before going to bed. These days, Thea ate human delicacies, learned human characters, and played with mobile phones stumblingly, making rapid progress.
"Good night." He Dongchen smiled.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day He Dongchen woke up amidst cheers. He opened the curtains and saw Thea transformed into a mermaid in the swimming pool in the garden, swimming happily in it, surrounded by a group of mermaids. Tail drooling.
He Dongchen chuckled, the mermaids are indeed tail-controllers.
Suddenly, Thea in the swimming pool raised her head and saw He Dongchen by the window, she raised a bright smile.
After breakfast, He Dongchen took Thea to the basement, passed through various checkpoints, and entered a secret room.
An Yan was lying on the bed, already awake, when he heard the noise coming from the door, he couldn't wait to get up from the bed, with a sincere face, wishing to swear to the sky: "I won't say anything!"
He Dongchen raised his eyebrows, and said unhurriedly: "Shang An, the illegitimate son of the third bedroom of the An family. His mother was a college student who was cheated on her. She died of illness when you were six years old. Since then, you have been taken back to the An family and become more than a dozen Among the illegitimate children, he is an unremarkable one. I sneaked into Pearl Island this time to steal the secret recipe for pearl cultivation, right?"
An Yan lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly. He hated the word illegitimate child the most in his life!
He Dongchen chuckled, and continued: "Curiosity kills people. You broke the secret of our mermaid clan. This is more terrible than any pearl secret recipe."
"What do you think?" An Yan let go of his hand, trying to look harmless.
"Three choices." He Dongchen didn't go around.
"First, die."
An Yan's upper pupils shrank slightly, and he shook his head stiffly.
He Dongchen smiled: "Second, become a mermaid, we are all brothers and sisters."
An Yan was stunned. Mermaids are amphibious on land. Seriously, they are more advanced than humans. Is there such a good thing?
Seeing his doubts, Thea briefly explained the disadvantages of becoming a mermaid and Hua Xue's background.
An Yanshang suddenly realized, no wonder Hua Xue was naive and ignorant, she was so foolish and easy to deceive, it turned out she was born dull.
Thea said solemnly: "The blood in Hua Xue's body is already thin, and if it is divided into half of you, I am afraid it will be even more fragile. As for the offspring of your union, no one can predict that the worst result will be an ordinary fish. "
An Yan shook his head violently, his face full of resistance, who can accept that his child will be a fish!
"The third way!" he said expectantly.
He Dongchen smiled: "Hua Xue fell in love with you, which broke the rules of our mermaid clan. We will erase her intelligence and make her a real fish. As for you, it's for Hua Xue's sake." , I will leave your life as a coolie on the island for the rest of your life."
Either die, or become a mermaid, with worrying aptitude, or sacrifice Hua Xue, or be a coolie for the rest of his life.
An Yan smiled wryly: "Do I still have a choice?"
