The Company Episode 6

Chan and the mermaid candle

An odd antique dealer shows up at Yashe. He is supposed to bring items to shop but that hasn’t been shown yet. I’m betting he knows something about the travel chair and trying to find a way in at the shop. It is fun at the market with the tongue twister name of bubble tea. It was funnier when her guard wanted to keep testing for toxins.🤣 BiZhi gets location for mermaid candle and is taken aback at the condition of location. The village is ravaged and all are begging in the streets. The officials are corrupt and do not care if the food is distributed fairly or in good condition. A little girl is in the background and comes back to her home and lights a blue camera with mermaid on it. She is surprised when she gets up that the candle has not burned down any and happy to use again. Her food is stolen and she is pushed aside. Her hands are bleeding and her basket is broken. As she weeps by the candle she sees a visitor on her bed. She declares herself a mermaid and replaces the food she lost. The mermaid promises to stay with her as long as the candle is lit. The mermaid takes care of her for years and she is old enough to work and the town has recovered. BiZhi’s coordinates land him at a brothel and he tells them BeiLu is paying. 🤣😂 It is funnier that he remains the most sober with the drinking game. 😂 They learn that the Chan they are looking for delivers the laundry and had already left for the day. It was later at night and an official that had harassed her at work had more plans for her in the alley. She bit his hand and ran away. Fortunately a handsome noble came to the rescue and the disgusting official stayed groveling at his feet while Chan ran home. She was greeted by the mermaid who was worried about her and had come looking. This night, she was taught how to defend herself with a dagger. This is probably the Kun blade BiZhi is looking for. After seeing her assault, I was glad she was getting a lesson in self defense. After the lesson, the mermaid gave her the blade. The next day the official was found dead. Chan saw her bite marks on his hand. She runs into the nobleman at work and offers a sachet as a thank you. He buys one and returns it to her as an invite to his poetry group. He is definitely interested and so is she. ☺️ The mermaid has the hairpin a seller tried to get Chan to buy. It has blood on the tip and it’s quite likely she killed the official. Can’t feel sorry for the guy but hope the evidence doesn’t point to Chan.
