Chapter 07 Chapter 7

Mu Mu accidentally swallowed the cleaning gel beads.

Wen Ming held Mu Mu's chin and used the pure water pipe extended by the housekeeper to clean its mouth, and said calmly:

"Housekeeper, make an appointment for the mermaid center emergency room, arrive within three minutes."

"Ding! The appointment is completed. The airship is ready. The mermaid cage is ready."

Wen Ming opened the door of the mermaid cage and picked up Mu Mu.

Mu Mu held his hands on both sides of the cage door and refused to go in.

Wen Ming used his strength to control his arms and forcefully stuffed him into the mermaid cage.

As soon as he entered the closed space, Mu Mu was immediately surrounded by horrible memories...

He was accidentally captured by humans in the sea. That was the first time he was locked in a mermaid cage.

The little mermaid rushed around in panic, and was bruised and battered, but could not return to the sea;

in the laboratory, it was often paid special attention by its former owner, and was trained alone in the mermaid cage.

No. 55 ignored the people outside, but he would never forget the look of his former owner -

disappointment, unwillingness, enthusiasm for unknown power and desire to explore;

but the former owner who was so obsessed with No. 55 eventually abandoned it and let it be sent to an unknown destination by the mermaid cage.

"Woo woo..." The mermaid cage kept whining in grievance.

Wen Ming rubbed his fingers on the buckle again and again, and finally opened the cage door, somewhat helplessly:

"You don't like being in the mermaid cage so much?"

Mu Mu couldn't count how many times he had been stared at by humans from outside the mermaid cage, but Wen Ming's eyes were different from the previous ones.

He felt even more wronged, and a snot bubble popped out of his nose in sadness. He opened his mouth, and a bubble popped out of his mouth, one after another...

Wen Ming sighed very lightly, rolled up his sleeves, and opened his arms to Mu Mu:

"Come on."

Mu Mu's expression immediately became bright, and he used his tail to jump out of the mermaid cage.

Wen Ming caught it steadily, holding it against his body with one hand, and applying a moisturizing film to its tail with the other hand:

"The airship will be faster, don't be afraid."

Mu Mu rested his chin on Wen Ming's shoulder, afraid that he would spit bubbles again if he opened his mouth, so he shook the tip of his tail as a response.

Its mouth was full of stimulating taste, and it was listless all the way...

The airship docked at the entrance of the mermaid center.

The staff had been waiting here early: "Just give me the mermaid cage, uh..."

Wen Ming stepped out of the airship with his long legs, and the mermaid was held in his arms, rolling its eyes and observing the surroundings.

"Oh my God!" The staff shouted, "Put it down quickly, the mermaid will suddenly attack humans for all kinds of inexplicable reasons!"

"?" Mu Mu was startled and turned to observe this startled human.

"You scared it."

Wen Ming said coldly, but the strength of his palms to soothe the mermaid was gentle enough.

The staff was silent, and the work clothes on his back were stuck to his body due to cold sweat.

Admiral Wen, who was rumored to be as heartless as a dry well, actually liked to raise mermaids...

He carefully raised his eyes and looked at the mermaid -

the smaller blue mermaid was not very energetic, but was interested in everything around it.

The airships in the sky, the flashing lights, and even the slightest movements of the staff could attract its attention.

It was a lively mermaid who was curious about everything in the universe, and was completely different from Admiral Wen...

A breeze blew by, and the mermaid opened its mouth without warning, lowered its head, and moved its fangs close to Wen Ming's neck.

"!" The staff's pupils shrank sharply, and he opened his mouth to give a warning.

It wants to attack the admiral!

"A-choo!"

Mu Mu sneezed, buried his head in Wen Ming's shoulder, and secretly rubbed his snot on his clothes.

Staff: ...

It can be considered an attack on the admiral.

Wen Ming tightened his arms and strode into the mermaid center.

The staff hurried over: "I'll lead the way for you!"

Wen Ming seemed to have a slow pace, but his stride was long, and he walked briskly even with the mermaid in his arms.

The staff hurried over, pushed open the mermaid emergency room, and panted and called:

"Doctor, hello, doctor, there is an emergency case!"

Following closely behind was Admiral Wen Ming, who had no time to change into home clothes and rushed in, and the "paralyzed" mermaid in his arms.

The doctor's face was heavy, and he quickly prepared the rescue drugs:

"Are there any vital signs?" "

?"

Mu Mu licked his lips and raised his head, burped at the doctor, and showed colorful bubbles.

The doctor slowly put down the rescue equipment:

"...sit down and talk."

"It accidentally ate the detergent." Wen Ming tore off the moisturizing film of Mu Mu's fish tail, put it into the water tank for examination, and added, "Cleaning the gel beads of the fish tail."

The doctor put on anti-bite gloves and checked Mu Mu's condition: "How could it eat the gel beads?"

Mermaids do not have the ability to survive independently, do not prey on underwater creatures, and will not eat anything floating in the water.

"They only eat processed food. Only when humans feed them can they understand that 'this is food'." The doctor was puzzled. "Is there any difference between this mermaid and other mermaids in terms of habits?"

Mu Mu's body suddenly tensed up, half of his face buried in the water.

Wen Ming held his arm to prevent him from hurting people:

"No, it was in a hurry to eat, and blamed me for not picking up the condensed beads in time."

"So it thought the condensed beads were the food you fed it..."

The doctor reluctantly accepted this explanation: "It's not a big deal. The mermaid's body can decompose impurities."

Mu Mu let out a long sigh, forming a string of small bubbles on the water surface.

"It will be fine after spitting bubbles for a while." The doctor was amused, "If you are worried, give it a physical examination."

Mu Mu was quickly transferred to the physical examination water tank.

When the water capsule was in operation, it huddled in a corner.

"This mermaid is really timid." The doctor said in surprise.

Wen Ming listened to the sound of the water capsule in operation: "It is also afraid of the mermaid cage."

"Really? I have never seen a mermaid afraid of a mermaid cage."

The doctor observed Mu Mu's curled-up posture: "It seems that it lacks a sense of security..."

Wen Ming's mouth was pressed flat, and his eyes finally stayed on the water capsule for a moment:

"Please help take care of it, I will be back soon."

"No problem!"

...

Wen Ming relied on his memory to find the adoption office of the mermaid center.

The employee who handled the adoption process for Mu Mu recognized him at first sight: "Admiral, how can I help you?"

Wen Ming nodded: "I have some questions about mermaids, and I would like to ask its previous owner..."

Number 55 label, burns, malnutrition, severe lack of security...

The little mermaid must have experienced something.

"Sorry, the adoption system is two-way confidentiality, and the other party's personal information cannot be found."

The employee called up the relevant interface, and the previous owner displayed on the electronic screen was anonymous.

And in the column "Reason for looking for an adopter for the mermaid", there are a few lines of words:

'It is a mermaid I rescued by accident. I don't know which cruel person abandoned it in the wild. It's really pitiful.

I already have a mermaid at home. I hope the cute blue mermaid can find a family that suits her. '

The employee covered his mouth with his hands moved: "So loving!"

Wen Ming turned his eyes away from the words indifferently and thanked the employee.

He turned around, and his original three points of suspicion rose to nine points.

That statement was too impeccable.

In just a few words, it explained why the mermaid was physically and mentally traumatized, and created the image of a kind person.

It was as if it had been expected that the adoptive parents would come to find out the reason...

"Ah--"

The scream of the mermaid from the direction of the emergency room interrupted Wen Ming's thoughts and prompted him to speed up his pace.

"It's finally back!"

The doctor was sweating profusely. Seeing him was like seeing a savior: "I don't know what's wrong with it. It started howling as soon as the medical examination cabin was opened, and it wouldn't let me get close."

Wen Ming refused the bite-proof gloves handed to him by the doctor and squatted beside the water cabin:

"Mu Mu."

The mermaid's howling became a little quieter, but it was thunder without rain:

"I thought you didn't support me anymore!"

Wen Ming took out snacks from his pocket like magic: "Here."

The howling was paused with one click. Mu Mu pouted, grabbed the dried fish and took a big bite: Don't think you can coax me with fish snacks!

Wen Ming opened his arms: "Hug?"

Mu Mu shook her hair with the dried fish in her mouth to shake off most of the water droplets, and put her arms around Wen Ming's neck.

The first time is the second time, and it tried its best not to wet Wen Ming's clothes.

The doctor was stunned: "You, uh...it..."

He couldn't organize a complete sentence for a long time. Wen Ming comforted the restless mermaid in his arms: "We will go home first, thank you."

"Oh, it's okay." The doctor said mechanically, "The results of the physical examination will be sent to your optical computer..."

As soon as Wen Ming left, the doctor opened the optical computer to search for records-

as expected, this was the first time Wen Ming raised a mermaid!

"So he really didn't notice..." The doctor murmured, "That mermaid is not ordinary smart."

*

As the doctor said, Mu Mu's abnormal symptoms disappeared quickly.

No more burping, no more spitting out detergent bubbles, and regained his spirits. As soon as he got home, he angrily blew the box of cleaning gel beads away.

But this trip was not without gain.

The physical examination report showed that the mermaid's malnutrition had improved and there was no need to control food intake.

In other words, Mu Mu could finally eat his fill!

He lived the "abundant" life he had dreamed of.

The owner fed him fish food in the early morning before going to work and in the evening after getting off work, and he made sure he was full

. During work, he would also leave some snacks in the mermaid's bowl by the pool.

Mu Mu would divide the snacks into many portions, and he would eat one portion every time the housekeeper's alarm sounded.

In this way, after eating the snacks, it would be time for the owner to go home, giving him some hope during the boring time.

"Ding ding!"

The housekeeper sounded the time again, and Mu Mu swam to the poolside to eat the last snack of the day.

He lay on his back and lazily chewed the seaweed chips.

"!" Delicious!

The tail was excitedly raised, and water splashed out of the mermaid pond from above Mu Mu.

'Try not to splash water out of the pond when playing in the water.'

Mu Mu swallowed the seaweed with difficulty, and held on to the wall of the pond with both hands to look out -

a small puddle appeared on the ground.

No, I can't cause trouble for my master!

Mu Mu stretched out his hands, stretched his body out of the pond, and bent over to wipe the ground.

Not only did it not wipe dry, but the water droplets on his body kept dripping down, and a small puddle of water evolved into a large puddle of water...

Why did it get wetter the more he wiped?

Mu Mu finally realized that his hands could not wipe the ground dry, so he looked around and stretched out his arms to grab the curtain.

He pulled up the curtain and swung it down, sucking up the water on the ground, and finally saw the effect.

"Ding." The door of the house was opened.

Mumu was startled, and lost his balance, falling from the pool wall to the ground.

He unconsciously grabbed the window curtain for leverage.

"Snap!"

The window curtain was pulled down like this...

Mu Mu also rolled out of the pool, entangled with the curtain, and fell to the ground with a "ding-dong" sound.

"Huh? What's that sound in your house?"

A strange male voice followed the sound of the floor, and saw a spectacular scene in the mermaid room -

the blue mermaid was rolled up by the curtain, struggling hard, and muttering something angrily.

Although I couldn't understand it, it must have cursed very dirty.

"What's wrong?" Wen Ming also came over and stood beside the dumbfounded man.

Mu Mu recognized his voice and guiltily retracted its claws that were tearing the cloth.

It pretended to be weak and helpless, raised its head, and blinked at Wen Ming:

If I say that the curtain started it first, would you believe it?

"Good fellow, Wen Ming, the mermaid you raised..." The strange man laughed so hard, "She is not a good person!"
