Taihu Mermaid Family

The last part of my younger brother was buried outside Bianzhou City. ]

The prodigal son undid the black bow for Shi Jingsi and opened the tortoise shell box.There was nothing in it that Shi Jingsi wanted day and night, but only a flower.The flowers bloom with branches, but they have thirteen flowers with the same root.

[Your Majesty sent a gladiolus...] The prodigal son took out this complicated and bright flower branch and handed it to Shi Jingsi.Shi Jingsi stared blankly, but didn't pick it up.

[I want my legs.I'm going to pick up my thirteenth brother standing up.Even if Baozi can't save him, I will...]

Crackling, a string of big pearls fell down his handsome cheeks one by one.

The prodigal son can only show him the flowers with branches one by one. [Also known as the Thirteenth Taibao...Jingsi, look, which one is you and which one is your thirteenth brother? ]

Zhang Baozi

Swimming quietly back to the stone room where Feng Junjie slept.

He gave Feng Junjie a drug that put him in a coma.

Why does he need a pair of legs?Sure enough, as a human being once, I can never forget the feeling of walking on the ground with two feet.

Zhang Baozai took out the jar Feng Junjie had brought, and put the dagger by his hand.The jar was slowly opened, and the contents inside gave off a faint golden color.

He moved his ears suddenly.

[Come out. ]

A long mermaid swims in from outside the door.It was Ma Xinyi who was waiting here last night.

[Do you also want to be imprisoned like Shi Jingsi? ]

Ma Xinyi's beard moved. [In no mood. ]

[Then don't bother me.please come back. ]

[Actually you only have one pair of legs.If you lend it to Feng Junjie, you can only stay underwater forever and be the king of the sharks.Is it right? ]

Zhang Baozai did not answer.He carefully removed the golden object from the jar.It was a heart of pure gold.Ma Xinyi was stunned by the sight in front of him.The shark's heart is golden, as transparent as a piece of jade.Someone had mentioned it to him since the first day he woke up.But it was the first time seeing the real thing.

[You have all of our… hearts? ! ]

[Not from me.But if you become a merman, your heart must be entrusted to me.I will be responsible for mending your hearts.The heart will be given back to you only when you decide to go back to dry land. ]

Ma Xinyi touched his chest subconsciously. [What if you want to live on land without a heart? ]

[Without legs, how do you live on land? ]

[What if this could be fixed? ]

[The heart of the merman was formed by your unfulfilled wishes in the previous life.If there is no heart, there is no wish.You will be a blank slate on land.The people you knew and the things you experienced in the previous life will be completely forgotten the moment you come out of the water. ]

The corners of Ma Xinyi's lips flickered. [I wish I could. ]

Zhang Baozai looked at him sympathetically, and said after a while: "Then you go." ] Handed him a small bottle of purple potion.

[If you don't need a heart, drink this potion and it will turn into human legs.Later I will send someone to take you ashore by boat.You are free to have a second life.You will no longer remember those people who are deeply entangled with you. ]

Ma Xinyi drank it all in one gulp, and then fell asleep.

Now only Zhang Baozai and Feng Junjie, who is still asleep, are left in the stone room.

Zhang Baozai took out the dagger, and suddenly stabbed Feng Junjie in the heart.Ice blue blood sprayed out from the wound.He quickly opened the wound on Feng Junjie's heart, twisted forcefully inside him a few times, and then pulled out his hand again.The wound has begun to heal.This is due to the powerful self-healing ability brought by the coma medicine to the sharks.

Then, Zhang Baozai had to split his legs for him.Because there is no way to make him drink the purple potion, he can only use the most primitive method to cut the fish tail.Zhang Baozai wishes he had never done such a bloody and extremely risky thing.

The sound of blood and flesh cracking echoed in the stone chamber, making one's hair stand on end.

After an unknown amount of time, Feng Junjie's lower body was wrapped in layers of gauze.The legs are still separated.

But what did he want to do when he went ashore?He must have found the one-armed young man named Lei.However, as a human being reincarnated, can he continue to appear in the other party's life openly?

Zhang Baozai didn't know the answers to these.All he knew was that after Feng Junjie woke up, there was one thing that he had to tell him.

[After you go ashore, if you can't fulfill your wish no matter what, your heart will disappear.You will return to this water forever as a mermaid, losing all your memories.Even so, do you want to go ashore and be human again? ]

Feng Junjie nodded vigorously.

[Okay, then deal. ] Zhang Baozai and Feng Junjie high-fived.Watch him go ashore in the boat.

Taihu

The waves are calm with occasional breezes.

Lei Li took Xiaojie to release a boat by the lake and taught him how to punting.Xiaojie was like a water monkey, jumping from the bow to the stern, making a mess of the fishing net. After learning for a while, he said "I'm hungry, I'm hungry", and jumped into the water with a plop to touch the water chestnut.

[Daddy, why haven't you cast your net recently? ]

Lei Li sighed: [There are thorns on the net, it hurts the creatures in the water, how bad it is. ]

Xiaojie thinks it makes sense.But what he thought of was the day he drowned and saw the golden mermaid in the water.Did Daddy discover something?

The sun was setting and the father and son had to call it a day.Lei Li walked with Xiaojie talking and laughing on the field ridge home, only to find something strange at the door of the house.Right above the single-family farmhouse, suddenly a group of people were driving piles.

[This is……]

[Is there a new neighbor moving in? ] Xiaojie asked.

Lei Li frowned, and rushed over quickly.

[Who's in charge here? ]

Suddenly a handsome man came over, with fluttering gown, personable and agile.

[My surname is Hu, and the single name has a righteous character. ]

Lei Li looked suspiciously at the young man from head to toe.

[Hu Yi?Are you the one who bought the land here? ]

[It's my lord. ]

Lei Li raised his eyebrows: [The land within a radius of six miles of this room is mine.If no one told you, I will tell you clearly now.Otherwise, I will let you taste the power of Yuanyang Saber. ]

Hu Yi smiled and opened the folding fan in his hand.Immediately, a few servants brought several plates of gold.

[Weibo ceremony is not a respect.How about a deposit for buying your feng shui treasure? ]

Lei Li became even angrier: [My land is a cemetery!Don't sell the ones that are used to build huts and keep spirits!go go go go! ]

Hu Yi's face suddenly froze. [Dare to ask who is buried here...]

[how?Don't think it's bad luck, why don't you go quickly? ]

[My father is guarding the grave of an uncle named Shuangdao Feng Junjie. ] Xiaojie from the side suddenly intervened, [Uncle, don’t be angry, my father’s temper is just like this.He didn't want anyone to disturb his friend's long sleep.So sorry. ]

Hu Yi smiled slightly: [Little friend joked.Since your father doesn't like being disturbed by outsiders, it's inconvenient for me to start working here.After I settle the wages with them tomorrow, how about giving you and Senior Feng a peace?It's just that in this way, what I have to do will be difficult.Because I heard that within a few weeks, mysterious creatures often appeared by the water in this area. Does the child have such a thing? ]

Xiaojie scratched his head. [You mean... the big brother mermaid with the golden tail? ]

Lei Li's whole body trembled, and he couldn't stop trembling. [No, nothing.How can you believe the nonsense of Huangkou Xiaoer! ]

However, Hu Yi did not stop working the next day.Lei Li came to the door repeatedly to argue, but to no avail.Instead, Hu Yi played a game of hide and seek.A month later, a simple log cabin was erected.Hu Yi took a few servants and began to station here, searching along the lake every day, looking for clues according to the map, and making some marks from time to time.Eventually even troops were stationed here.

Lei Li suddenly became worried about the man underwater.If he goes ashore in these two days... But it's strange, since the last farewell, it seems that the mermaid hasn't surfaced to meet him for a long time.

[What are you looking for every day? ]

[Mysterious creature, a resident witnessed it, so we came to investigate.But you have to be careful, maybe it's a Taihu water thief.Many years ago, my predecessor, Mr. Bao, caught a water thief leader here, named Jiang Si, and finally let him run away.Maybe they are still here to commit crimes. ]

There is no reason for this.Lei Li thought.

[Then how long are you going to check? ]

[There are all the strongholds, of course—] Hu Yi smiled crookedly, and shook his folding fan lightly, [Confirm what the mysterious creature is, or if it is really a water thief, then it will be wiped out in one go, and there will be no future troubles. ]

Taihu Lake has since lost its tranquility.

Lei Li faced everything Hu Yi had done to the place where he got married more angrily and forbearance than in the past in the tavern.He told Xiaojie not to have any contact with Hu Yi's people no matter what.The father and son should die of old age by this lake.You should not have any unreasonable thoughts about the outside world.However, Xiaojie is such a docile and well-behaved child.Within three days, he and Hu Yi had a fierce fight, and together with this said to be the new general, he searched by the lake every day.

But something more unsettling is about to happen.

On the third day of August, when a typhoon passed through the border, Taihu Lake was rained heavily for seven days, and the water in the lake was soaring that it almost flooded the door of Leili's hut.Seeing that his family property was about to suffer, Lei Li continued to eat and sleep as if nothing had happened.That night, Lei Li had just laid down, and the lights were dimmed, only to hear the sound of splashing water outside the house.Hu Yi's officers and soldiers were so excited that they marched forward, shouting:

[Grab it!grab it!Don't let him get away! ]

[Catch a reward! ]

[He passed me! ]

The sound of the water was getting louder and mixed with the sound of officers and soldiers wading through the water. For a moment Lei Li was so disturbed that he couldn't sleep, so he had to sit up and see how Xiaojie was doing.Unexpectedly, there is no one on Xiaojie's bed.So he went to touch flint and fire
