Chapter 958 I contracted this fish pond (41)
At this time, he moved his tail gently. Jiang Tang lowered his eyes and looked at his silver-white tail carefully.
The light trembled slightly as the ship swayed.
Jiang Tang's eyes were marked with the mottled tail of the mermaid. Without the cover of the turbid sea water, she could see everything clearly.
The beautiful fish tail was glowing with silvery white light, but only soft white meat was left in the middle of the lines of scales, and the scales were pulled out cleanly.
His fish tail is not silver-white.
In order to make his tail look better, those people painted a layer of shiny paint on his tail. What the audience saw was the soft white flesh under his scales.
No wonder his eyes were so sad and desperate.
Once a mermaid reaches adulthood, its scales will not grow back once they fall off, just like adult teeth, which are non-renewable.
How important scales are to mermaids can be seen from how well Jinchao takes care of their scales. In order to make their scales more beautiful, the mermaid tribe even raises a large number of jellyfish in the sea where they live, just to maintain their scales with jellyfish juice.
The beautiful fish tail is the most proud part of a mermaid, and this poor mermaid has completely lost her most precious thing.
Jiang Tang didn't know what to say, so he gently covered his tail with a soft black cloth.
Originally, she wanted to use this mermaid to find the location of the mermaid clan and go back to Jinchao.
Now it seems impossible. Scales are not only decoration, but also armor. Without scales, the mermaid's tail becomes extremely fragile. Let him go into the sea, and he will die.
Dad also saw his fish tail clearly, his fierce face was tense, and he stood behind Jiang Tang without saying a word.
"Those people are nothing!"
The mermaids were not as cruel as they said. On the contrary, their eyes were extremely soft, like little animals that had been tortured in a cage.
It was rumored that mermaid scales could be used as medicine to cure all kinds of diseases, and mermaid tears were priceless. Jiang Tang's eyes were dark, and she could imagine what this mermaid had gone through.
No wonder they go to great lengths to avoid humans.
"What does he eat? Fish? I'll get him some."
"Well, fish and shrimp." "Then be careful."
Dad warned, turned around and left the cabin.
The mermaid remained motionless, just staring silently at the moon outside the window.
Jiang Tang didn't say anything. He bent down, put one hand around his waist, and held the fish tail wrapped in black cloth with the other. He picked him up and gently placed him on the bed.
This used to be the captain's cabin where Dad slept. The mattresses were still there, and the mermaid lay on them, with her long fish tail dragging on the ground.
Jiang Tang moved another chair and put his tail on the chair.
Dad came back with a big bucket of fish and shrimp, all alive and kicking.
"This is all caught from the fishing boat, you feed it to him."
Jiang Tang put the bucket next to the bed, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"Aren't you looking at him?"
Dad looked more worried about this mermaid than Jiang Tang, and Jiang Tang shook his head.
"It's no use looking at him, let's go out."
Until she walked out of the door, Jiang Tang could feel the line of sight lingering on her.
Stepping off the boat, Dad let out a long sigh.
"It's okay to keep him on the boat. Can we find a veterinarian to see him?"
"He's not sick."
"That's right, let's go back and rest first."
Jiang Tang stood on the beach, staring at the sea in front of him, and whispered: "You go back first, I will sleep on the boat tonight."
