Taihu Mermaid Family

Sickle, while calling Xiaojie's name to look for it.When he found the firewood room, he suddenly and keenly noticed something strange in the house.

Someone is hiding under his stove.

Lei Li took out a piece of firewood from a high place, lit it with a flint, held it in his hand, and approached it step by step.

Ten steps, five steps, three steps, two steps...

last step.

In an instant, a black shadow flew out from the stove.He instinctively hugged it with his remaining arm, but it turned out to be a wet child.

The fire light shone on his dark face, it was Xiaojie.

However, Xiaojie's expression was distorted by panic.He turned his head tremblingly——

A sinister bearded man appeared in front of the father and son.

mustache

Just as Xiaojie was about to shout out, the bearded man covered his mouth.

Xiaojie almost suffocated under the rubbing of rough hands.

Lei Li threw down the torch and restrained the bearded man by instinct.Strange to say, the bearded man looked like a martial artist, but he was easily restrained.

Lei Li snatched Xiaojie away, protected him behind him, and grabbed the bearded man by the collar.

[Taihu water thief!Come on, follow me to see Hu Yi. ]

The man was stunned, trying to understand the meaning of the word water thief.

[who I am?Why are you here?and who are you?This is where? ]

Lei Li was so angry that he couldn't help laughing.

[Anyway, it’s not the bottom of Taihu Lake.Play amnesia with me?I'm sorry, go tell that Hu Yi. ]

Suddenly, the man's feet were like piles, and he was frozen in place, and Lei Li didn't grab him for a while. [You are afraid. ]

[What did you say? ]

[When you came over just now, the torch you were holding was visibly shaking.Are you afraid of me?Who do you still think I am? ]

Lei Li felt guilty at what he said, so he let go of the opponent's collar, [You said you don't know who you are, so why are you hiding here? ]

[I woke up to be at the water's edge.He was chased all the way and fled here. ] He looked at his legs, [Legs...!I have legs, legs! ]

Xiaojie tugged at the corner of Lei Li's clothes, and said quietly: "This man is so strange, everyone has legs, what's so great about it?" ]

Lei Li was about to ask a question, when the person across from him suddenly covered his stomach and bent down.

[What happened to you? ] Lei Li hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, but when he pressed his stomach, it turned out that his hand was sticky with blood.Lei Li quickly ordered Xiaojie to carry the man into his room together with him.At this moment, there was a thunderous sound outside the thin wooden door.Someone was hammering the door roughly with a weapon.

Lei Li asked Xiaojie to watch Mr. Hu stop the bleeding, then put on a coat and answered the door.

[Did you see a strange man passing by here?Wearing an official uniform, bare legs, and a thin mustache? ] Hu Yi's voice sounded outside the door.

Lei Li struggled to remove a door panel with one arm, exposing a crack.The fire outside the door was like daytime, and he narrowed his eyes. [The man in official uniform, with bare legs and mustache, is lying in my house right now.What, you still want to come in, don't you? ]

Hu Yi bowed his head and smiled: [Friend Lei, can you hand over this person, we can all withdraw tomorrow and report to the court.From now on, I will never disturb your life with Young Master Ling...]

Just as Lei Li was about to agree, he suddenly thought of the man's ecstatic shout. [I have legs! ] My heart tightened at that time.He stretched out his left arm and punched the door panel.He pierced through the paulownia-lacquered board from the inside out.Everyone present, even Hu Yi, was shocked.

[Don't say that I didn't hide anyone, even if I did, I can't hand it over just as you say.Come in and search if you have the ability. ]

[How dare you dare. ] Hu Yi smiled and shook his folding fan.Staring carefully at Lei Li's face, he took a hard look twice. [I know that friend Lei will not hide, after all, the imperial court invaded. ] Shouted to his sailors: [Today's work is over, let's go! ]

Hu Yi's people left like this.

Lei Li returned to the bedside.

Light the candles and take a closer look. The person on the bed is wearing an official uniform without even a pair of underpants. The thin mustache on his mouth is exactly the same as what Hu Yi described.Lei Li was terrified and hurried to check his wound.The wound seemed to be wounded by a sharp knife, the old wound had recurred, and blood was bubbling.

Xiaojie's voice changed: [Father, he won't die, will he? ]

Lei Li didn't say a word, but quickly found a towel and set up a pot to generate hot water.Then they found white wine, medicine for sores, and needles and threads.

Xiaojie just followed his father's instructions, passing a tool from time to time.Lei Li's left hand fluttered up and down like a tea picker, and he took care of the wound submissively in a short time.

[Um...] The man on the bed made a groan and struggled to get up.

Lei Li illuminated his eyes with a lamp, and asked curiously: "Where did you get this wound?"It doesn't look like a new injury. ]

[I don't remember...I...don't remember anything...can't...can't remember...]

[what with what? ] It seems that this person also has a past that he is trying to forget.Lei Li felt sorry for him.

[Engong, thank you for saving your life.May I ask your benefactor Gao's name, I will definitely risk my life to repay you in the future...]

[My name is Lei Li, and this is my son Xiaojie.For the past few days, you will recuperate with me first.When the injury is healed, I will send the Buddha to the west and lead you out of the siege of Hu Yi. ]

The man nodded, and then fell asleep.

At the bottom of Taihu Lake, the Yuren Palace, the farewell banquet, and the singing and dancing hall.

Feng Junjie was wearing a man-of-war jellyfish ventilator and was sitting at the banquet. Zhang Baozai was still coiled up on the dragon pillar to see him off.During the banquet, all kinds of water creatures came to celebrate with singing and dancing.

A pair of blue and black mermaids came forward with arm in arm.The cyan mermaid made a bow to everyone at the table, then swept the fish's tail lightly, and did a dozen somersaults in the air.Dressed up in a black mermaid head, with a look of hope between her brows, she flicks out eighteen big pearls from her neck and plays them in the water.The mermaid burrowed back and forth in the bead circle, dancing gracefully, which was too beautiful to behold.The audience applauded.After the two dance, they come forward to toast.It turned out to be two brothers, Yan Qing and Wu Song.

[Send Brother Feng for a ride today, and hope that Brother Feng can go ashore, and his long-cherished wish will be fulfilled! ]

Feng Junjie smiled happily and thanked him repeatedly.

There were still booing in the sitting room, but it was the mermaid brothers Tie Hu and Meng Gang who wanted to compete with Yan and Wu.Zhang Baozai let them make trouble, but quietly asked Feng Junjie: "Have you decided, when will you go ashore?" ]

[Go ashore in three days. ]

[I heard that the shore...was quite uneven these two days.Be careful when you go ashore. ]

Feng Junjie frowned.A bubble emerges from the jellyfish mask.

[who is it?Do you want me to clean up for you when I go ashore? ]

[No,] Zhang Baozai was smiling, proudly touching his bare chest. [It's just a difficult old friend. ]

The rain stopped.Lei Li opened the door panel to welcome the fresh air of the day.

The man on the bed could actually walk around the room.

[Is your injury healed? ]

The man showed off the deep scar.The scars are ugly, but they've definitely scabbed over.

What a tenacious vitality, Lei Li marveled.

[Since the injury is healed, then we have to set off quickly. ] Lei Li dug out his old white clothes and asked the man to wear them.

What surprised him was that such a simple white dress made him look graceful and elegant.

Lei Li felt his blood vessels boiling.He found a hatchet, asked Xiaojie to push him on the chair, and shaved off his mustache one by one.

[Finish! ] Lei Li stroked his chin and looked at his work with satisfaction.

[That's great!Daddy's craft is awesome! ] Xiaojie cheered, [Uncle, you are so handsome! ]

Ma Da, who had shaved off his beard, and his white clothes matched him, looked like a fairy descending from the earth.The shady look of the mustache before was swept away.

Hearing the praise, the man was a little pleased with himself, but he just smiled lightly, and gently brushed a big braid behind his head.

[Thank you benefactor. ]

[You're welcome.I'm also dressing up for you.Otherwise, how could he escape Hu Yi's pursuit?But I still want to go out to find out the news.You just wait for me at home now. ] Fu thought of something again, turned around and said to the man, [You look tall and big, like a fine horse, so I'll call you a big horse, how about that? ]

[Ma...big...] The man named Ma Da muttered to himself, as if he had lost his soul for a moment.

Lei Li didn't care about Ma Da's reaction and went out the door.If he knew all the stories behind this strange man, he might regret giving him such a name.

Hu Yi knelt in front of the hall, sweating all over.

The sweating was not entirely due to the heat, but more of the cold sweat he was sweating.

The person sitting in the hall, with a golden crown and a big cloak, with a fat head and big ears, is like a smiling Buddha, smiling and looking down at him who is prostrate on the ground.

[How is the mermaid recovery going? ]

[Bing Jiaozhu, Zhang Baozai seems to have licensed a Ma Xinyi to go ashore and become a human again.I am still observing and searching. ]

[Bastard! ] The person known as the leader was very angry, and even Hu Yi trembled. [Whether it's a human or a mermaid, I'll catch them all, and don't miss a single one. Taihu Lake should be encircled and suppressed. If there are not enough people, I will call you. Do you hear that? ]

Hu Yi submissively: [Yes, leader.The subordinates will spare no effort to pay the entrustment...]

[Those people deserved to die!Damn it!There are no them in the world!It was the damned Zhang Baozai who turned them into mermaids and kept them under Taihu Lake, raising a litter!It's all messed up now, what's the matter! ]

Hu Yi: [In fact, my subordinates...]

[roll! ]

Hu Yi withdrew from the hall, his vest already soaked through.

This position is not good.However, if it wasn't for him, that person would have been arrested in court and imprisoned in the prison.And those beautiful mermaids that he painstakingly protected...

everything will be lost
