Chapter 673: The merman who threw himself into the net
By mid-June, Tyrus has a Mediterranean climate, with hot and dry summers and scorching sunlight, and few rainfalls fall for several days.
When Lu Liangsheng inquired along the way, he realized that this was a large province, the city called Antioch, close to the coast.
After entering the city, the prosperity I saw was very different from the Egypt I passed by. The buildings and buildings with stone bricks and wooden strips were intertwined with heights, and formed a large circle around a huge building with a dome in the middle.
The open windows in the attic, the woman with a hood threw the sewage into the street. The splashed mud points scared the sow next to him and four or five little pigs hurriedly avoided.
In the alleys of the streets, most of the pedestrians have round neck robes, bare feet or a pair of raised shoes, talking and laughing with others; in the sound of hawking and shouting, relying on the fence, the woman at the hotel door exposed her shoulders, applying makeup, curling her lips and smiling charmingly, her eyes staring at the passing pedestrians. Occasionally, someone comes up to talk in a low voice, and then takes the other person's arm and walks to the dark place.
"There are prostitutes here too?"
If you can't understand the words, Wang Feng and the other two couldn't see them. They stared at their swaying waists and walked into the dark alley or hotel.
"The barbarians are barbarians. They are so direct in broad daylight. Why do you need some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to add elegance? Tsk tsk..."
The four of them put their toes on their toes, stretched their necks and looked at them for a few times. Only then did they regretfully follow Lu Liangsheng through the dirty street in front, find a tavern, dusted their sleeves, and took Fengchen into it. The guys in the store were not like Zhongyuan, but there were only men, and women who were passing through it.
In the tavern, the voices and laughter gathered together. The woman holding the plate walked past a table, held her waist with her hands stretched out, and sat on the guest. While struggling, several copper coins were stuffed into the deep grooves on her chest, and she immediately smiled and twisted her face when she sat on the guest.
"Fallen!" "Fallen!"
"I'm so envious...ah, vulgar!"
"It's better for me, Da Sui."
The four of them stared at this scene, muttering in a low voice. Lu Liangsheng on the other side sucked the wine coming up, frowned slightly, and never picked it up again. His eyes swept around him, and he threw away the noise in his ears, paying attention to the words "Sierren".
After all, in this kind of place, news is the most smooth.
"...I'll send another can of ale. I'll go to Egypt to sell a batch of goods tomorrow. I'll drink more today and I can't drink it on the way."
"I heard from the sailors on the boat who were docking at the dock that a governor over there was killed, and a group of Oriental people did it."
"Persian, or Arab?"
"No matter whether they are Persian or Arab, they won't kill us, hahahaha."
"When it comes to ships, do you know about Siren? I didn't expect there were really siren in the sea."
"The city was talking about it two days ago. I heard some of it, did you see it?"
"It was the ship I asked for information and met the ship that caught the sirens. The sailor above said that he saw a half-man and half-fish hanging from the mast from afar, and shouting to them, and the other party said he would send Constellation Dante to the emperor."
"As pretty as legendary?"
"I have no idea."
In the noisy words of the tavern, the maid holding a wooden plate put down the pottery full of wine and turned around. The table near the door had already left at some point. A few copper coins were stacked on the table. Looking around, the maid took away her belt without any trace and whistled to the next table.
The noise went outside the tavern. Lu Liangsheng, who was walking among the crowds on the street, walked very quickly. A breeze brought between his sleeves wrapped around the old donkey behind him. The four scholars disappeared into the city in the blink of an eye.
The sun was dull and the sunlight gradually turned into a touch of orange on the sea. Among the surging waves, white gulls seemed to smell fishy fish, and they were neighing around a big ship. When they approached, a long pole swept away.
"This is dedicated to Your Majesty, and you birds dare to get close to you!"
"Wuka, come here and change it, you can drive the birds!"
The man who was eating the long pole lowered his head and shouted at a companion who was sorting the rope. The latter threw the rope down, raised his elbow and rubbed his forehead sweat stains. He raised his pole from the other party's hand and looked up at a figure hanging under a crossbar.
"Are you not dead?"
"I just poured water, I can't die. I'll put it down later and give it to His Majesty. I'll whip her first, so that I will be honest."
The man handed over the work, stretched his waist easily, and finally looked at the Siren hanging on it, walked to the cabin and poured a glass of ale to lean against the side of the ship, and told the other crew members what kind of rewards they would receive when they met the emperor after they docked.
The young man who took the seagulls to drive away the seagulls, squinted his eyes and hugged the long pole in the arms of the pillars, looked at the Siren with his head facing down, and suddenly laughed. He had never seen Siren before, and had thought that the mermaids in the rumor would chase their boats, and they saw the fishing nets spilling down and drilling into them. He was stupid.
"After Athens, I will be there in Constellation Dante one day. Just look at the sea a few more times, and there will be no chance in the future."
The young man joked to himself and said, "Low, the sailor who had left before came back, took the captain and several crew members, and slowly lowered the mermaid hanging on it to the deck.
"grumble......"
The mermaid was tied with her hands, and the fish tail was tied with a rope and connected to the mast. She couldn't move even if she put it down. Her eyes looked at the thick sailor with a whip in horror. The latter spitted on the deck, and received the captain's approval. She shook her arm suddenly, lifted the whip into the air, and then pulled it down fiercely.
Crack-
The whip crossed the scales and took off its delicate and fair upper body. A blood mark was drawn out in an instant. The mermaid widened her eyes. Before the scream of "Ji" was dropped, the whip whipped again and fell on her shoulders. Several strands of hair like seaweed suddenly broke and spilled in the air. The blood marks slowly oozed out blood.
"Jiji...ah...ah..."
The mermaid opened her mouth wide, as if she was crying, and waved her head hard, begging them not to hit her. When she saw her begging for mercy, she wailed. Someone laughed loudly. Someone squatted down with his belt untied, stretching out his fingers to hook her mouth wider. He saw that there were fine small teeth inside clearly, and then he took his hand back and tied his belt back, which made his companion laugh louder and pounded it lightly with his fist.
Someone laughed and shouted:
"Sanders, beware of the Siren biting your thing off. We're taking care of your woman in your family!"
There was another burst of laughter on the deck, which made the man snatch the whip and spread his anger on the mermaid in front of him. He kicked it hard, and then whipped it violently. The delicate skin on the upper body suddenly became bloody and blood splashed off the faces of several people.
"Ji...jiji...wu..."
The mermaid screamed weakly. The few people who were too conscious rushed up quickly and dragged Sanders back, grabbed the whip and threw it on the ground, and quickly asked the stunned young man to go to the cabin to get some external medicine for the injury.
"How can your Majesty get rewards when he beats so hard?"
In the words of criticism, someone took the opportunity to kick the man named Sanders, who got up from the ground and fought with the person who was talking.
