Chapter 472 The Gift of Seawater (3)
"Both." Si Ye answered Ling Yue's question seriously, "I just want to give her the best. She used something similar to save my life back then. The cold season is about to end, and after much thought, I think this Condensation Pill is the most suitable."
"You're not being polite to me." Ling Yue said with a "tsk". "But if you want this Condensed Dew Pill, it's not that simple. Have you thought about the price you want to pay? If I'm not satisfied with the bargaining chip, I won't agree."
"I've already prepared this." Si Ye calmly pulled out a palm-sized, cylindrical object from his pocket and handed it over. "You asked someone to look for it in Dongfang City, but they couldn't find it. But I made a new one according to the drawings you gave me. Take a look. Are you satisfied?"
Ling Yue took the small cylindrical gadget and carefully examined it inside and out, using the last bit of sunlight left in the day.
This is a semi-cylindrical structure with a wooden base. There are small holes in the middle, arranged from large to small. The surface is carved and polished, and it is very delicate.
If Xia Tian were here, she would recognize that this was the original appearance of the harmonica on Earth.
Ling Yue is from the mermaid tribe. They are naturally very interested in various musical instruments. Their desire to collect different instruments is like humans' desire to obtain wealth. This is an instinctive need rooted in the body and cannot be controlled at all.
At the beginning, he had a sudden idea and wanted an instrument that could be played with the mouth. He drew a blueprint and asked for it.
He hadn't had much hope in the first place. After so many years, he had almost forgotten about it. He didn't expect Si Ye to still remember it, and... since he couldn't find it, he just made a model himself.
Judging from this, regardless of whether it can be used as a musical instrument in the end, it is still valuable to collect it as a handicraft as a souvenir.
I have to say that the bargaining chip given by Si Ye is very tempting.
"Can it be blown?" Ling Yue asked curiously.
"Yes, I've tried it, and it's very smooth," Si Ye replied confidently. "And I've inlaid jade in the area where I play, so the wood won't scratch my lips when I play."
Ling Yue took a closer look and found that there was indeed a long, thin piece of translucent jade inlaid on the blowing hole. The surface was very smooth and warm to the touch.
He couldn't wait to put the harmonica to his lips, and light and distant tunes flowed out of it, naturally forming a musical magnetic field.
It is said that every mermaid is a natural musician. Even if they get an unfamiliar instrument for the first time and have no music score, they can still play very beautiful and pleasant music. This is their talent.
Si Ye and Lan cooperated very well and acted as quiet listeners, listening quietly until Ling Yue finished her performance.
After the performance, Ling Yue couldn't let go of this "harmonica" and couldn't help but keep stroking it. "This is simply amazing. You actually made it... It's amazing! Haha, it seems I have to give you Condensation Pills today. Just wait."
After saying that, he dived into the sea and disappeared into the distance with the harmonica.
Ling Yue's reaction was much more straightforward than Si Ye had expected. Without giving it much thought, he just waited on the shore.
