How to become a mermaid

Chapter 168 Hair Dye

Shaman Lair got a disappointing news. There seems to be no dancing grass on this island.

According to Harker, the hallucinations it creates are based on what is in the mind's mind.

The reason why Shamanleir and Alicia saw the dancing grass was just because they were thinking about it at the time.

Huck had been on this island for several years, and he had never seen grass that danced in the moonlight.

Although this result is a bit disappointing, Shaman Lear is also mentally prepared.

The probability that you can find what you need on any island is too small, and it is normal to not find it.

Even if there is no dancing plant, he and Alicia have found a lot of other potion ingredients on the island, as well as a new little friend, so this trip is not in vain.

"Dong dong dong..." There was a knocking sound.

Shamanlael was sitting on the deck, holding a big stone in his hand and hammering the blue-light mushrooms in the bowl.

This bowl is as big as a pot, and it contains at least ten catties of mushrooms.

With his beating, streams of thick dark blue juice were released from the crushed light mushrooms.

"Boom..." There were bursts of thunder, and lightning exploded in the sky, illuminating the entire sky flickering.

"Drip...drip..." The rain fell from Doudadi, and it dripped onto Shamanleir's hands.

It's raining.

Feeling the coolness of the rain, Samantel covered the big bowl with his hands, and jumped into the cabin.

"crunch~"

The hatch was slammed shut.

After entering the cabin, Samantel sat on the corridor and continued to beat his mushrooms.

After asking about Huck's dancing grass, Samantel originally wanted to set off for the next island immediately, but the weather was not good, and the weather was not so good these days, with wind and rain every day.

Although the Moni can dive, Shamanleir is a novice captain after all. Rather than brave the storm, he prefers to sail in sunny and good weather.

Anyway, I can't go out to sea, and I have gathered almost all the useful things on the island, so I just nestled on the boat and made light mushroom hair dye.

Alicia has been thinking about this thing for the past few days, and hopes that Shaman Leer can make it as soon as possible, so that she can have a head of sparkling hair.

"Dong dong dong..."

The hallway echoed with the sound of Samantel pounding mushrooms.

After smashing all the mushrooms in the bowl, he came to Moni's room, took out a piece of clean gauze from the cabinet, then poured all the mushroom puree into the gauze, tied the opening tightly and squeezed the juice inside.

Some viscous mushroom juice flowed out from the pores of the gauze, and dripped drop by drop into the wooden barrel prepared in advance by Samantel.

He waited until the juice could no longer be squeezed out, and then he took out the residue from the gauze and threw it into the trash can.

The juicing rate of these light mushrooms is still good, and Shaman Laier successfully got a small half barrel of light mushroom juice.

This kind of juice can be used directly on the hair to dye the hair, but the duration is not long, and the color will fade after washing.

If you want it to stay on the hair longer, you also need to add something that can fix the color.

Filter the mushroom juice several times with a clean gauze cloth to remove the impurities inside, then Shamanleir covered the wooden barrel containing the mushroom juice with a cloth and set it aside.

Then he dug out a large glass jar from under Mooney's bed and started the next step.

This glass jar has been here for at least ten days. Even without Alicia's urging, Shamanlael had already planned to make hair dye for her.

Through the transparent glass, it can be seen that the glass jar is filled with a large jar of yellow-brown liquid, and there are still many smashed green fruits soaked in it.

These fruits are called [wood berries], which are the fruits of the wood pulp tree. When fully ripe, they are rich in plant fibers and can be mashed to make paper.

There are wood pulp trees almost all over the world. They are not picky about the growth environment at all, as long as there is soil, they can grow.

Unlike the paper made from oiled paper leaves, the paper made from wood berries is neither fireproof nor waterproof. It is just ordinary paper. The only advantage is that it is cheap.

The paper used to record words in ordinary people's homes is wood pulp paper, and people with better conditions will also use soft paper made of wood berries to wipe their buttocks, just like toilet paper on earth.

The use of the ripe wood berries mentioned above, the unripe fruit that Chamanlell soaked in the glass jar.

When unripe wood berries are mashed, a thick white pulp secretes from the pulp.

These slurries have not yet become fibrous, and have a certain viscosity, which can be used as glue.

But this is not what Shamanleir needs. Soak these crushed immature wood berries in alcohol and let them ferment for a period of time. The white pulp will turn yellow, the viscosity will gradually disappear, and it will become a pool of extremely sticky Strong stuff.

These yellow fermented liquids are exactly what Shamenlier needs.

Add the wood berry fermented liquid to the light mushroom juice and stir well to make a hair dye with strong color retention.

Lifting the lid of the glass jar, Samantel reached in and touched it, feeling the viscosity of the fermentation liquid inside.

It's not sticky, and it's a little slippery. It's just right to ferment to this level!
Satisfied, he poured out a small bowl and mixed the fermented liquid and light mushroom juice in a ratio of one to ten.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

Under the agitation of Chamanleir, the liquid in the barrel gradually became semi-solidified, from water to paste, and exuded a little alcohol smell and mushroom aroma.

It's not unpleasant, it's the smell of fermented mushrooms.

After stirring until the contents of the bucket will not spill out even if the bucket is turned upside down, the bucket of light mushroom hair dye is ready.

Hearing the sound of "Guji", Shamanlael took his hand out of the bucket.

Looking at the contents of the bucket, and then at his own arm, Shamanlael frowned in embarrassment.

Oops, he was careless!
Because it was hand-stirred hair dye, so... his arms are now dyed blue!
The lights in the room were turned on, and under the light of the light stone lamp, Shamanlael's two arms were shining with bright blue fluorescence.

look!He is glowing!
"If I take a bath with this thing, will I become an Avatar?" Shamanlell joked to himself.

Thinking of the picture of himself turning into a little blue fish, he laughed to himself.

"I don't know if this thing can be washed off in a few days. The mermaid's skin is so smooth, the hair dye shouldn't stay on it for long..."

"Show Alicia, she should like it!"

After wiping the remaining hair dye on his hands, Shaman Lair walked out of the room.

After looking around on the boat, Shamanlael didn't see Alicia, so he walked out of the cabin and shouted to the sea:
"Alicia! Where are you, Alicia?"

"thump…"

A bright blue fish tail appeared in Samantel's field of vision, swimming towards him quickly.

Alicia's head emerged from the sea, with a lump of seaweed on top.

"Son, you are looking for me..." Alicia was about to say something.

However, when her eyes turned to Shamanlael's arm, she suddenly stopped, her eyes widened, and she looked surprised.

"My God, son, are you poisoned?"

Seeing her son transformed into Little Blue Fish, Alicia was startled.
