Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 227 The Mermaid Returns a Favor

"Then I would like to thank Her Highness the Princess first."

The princess took a look at her clothes and frowned, "Has Magistrate Li always lived such a simple life?"

County Magistrate Li said embarrassedly, "I just think that as long as the clothes are wearable, it's fine. It's better to spend the money on the people. In fact, Xiancheng is hit by sandstorms every year, which greatly reduces the harvest of the crops planted by the people."

The princess seemed to be thinking about something and decided to send someone to investigate.

Let's see if she knew they would show up and did this on purpose, or if it was really as she said.

"Okay, without further ado, this princess is going to Southern Xinjiang with Young Master Gu."

Then, she left some people behind to take care of the people from southern Xinjiang who came to Xiancheng to avoid the disaster, and then she and Gu Qingyuan continued on their way without stopping.

……

"Ouch, it's stuck..."

After the man with the fish tail entered the river, he swam forward along the bottom of the water.

But as he swam, he stopped moving.

The fish's tail was swinging wildly behind it, and even some of its glowing white-purple scales were scraped off.

He was now trapped between two huge rocks, with only his upper body passing through the gap between them. He tried to push the rocks left and right, but to no avail.

Purple blood was floating on the water, a few shades darker than the color of his fish tail.

When he is underwater, the color of his tail looks white and purple, but when he comes out of the water, the color changes slightly.

The overall color is blue-purple and looks very beautiful.

But at this time, he was trapped between two huge rocks and looked very embarrassed.

The stone couldn't be pushed away, and if he tried to force his way through, he would probably injure his fish tail.

So he could only stick his head out of the water to breathe, planning to try to move the stone after he had gained strength.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that the rain seemed to have subsided a lot and the thunder had stopped, so he happily took a breath of air on the water.

On the other hand, after Gu Qingyuan and the princess arrived in southern Xinjiang, the first thing they did was to look for the people who had not escaped.

Some people stood on the roofs of their houses or lay on trees.

Gu Qingyuan had people make small boats with branches and bamboo overnight so that they could transport people over one by one.

She directed everyone in an orderly manner and asked those who could swim to rescue the person.

She also personally went to bring the people trapped in the tree to the open space.

The princess was responsible for draining the water, diverting it to lower areas, and personally leading people to dig the soil.

The man who was taking a breath on the water surface was already annoyed after being trapped by the rocks for several days.

As a result, the water from upstream poured down on him.

The princess diverted all the water here, and the water level in the low-lying river area rose a lot.

"Ahem...why do I feel so much water coming out all of a sudden?"

He hoped that the impact would push him out of the crevice, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.

During the days he was stuck there, he could only drink water to satisfy his hunger. If there were small fish or shrimp passing by, they would help him fill his teeth.

"I'm not really going to die here, wuwuwu..."

"I'm not married yet, I can't die."

"I don't have my own baby fish yet, woo woo woo..."

The man cried so sadly that his white eyelashes were covered with what looked like tears or water droplets.

Gu Qingyuan, who was busy moving people away, suddenly heard a very sad cry.

It’s strange, why does it feel like someone is crying in the river?

Could it be that someone is trapped underwater?

Thinking of this, she looked serious.

During the past few days in southern Xinjiang, she has tried her best to rescue the people and will not allow anyone to be left unsaved.

There was a purple liquid floating on the water. Gu Qingyuan didn't have time to think about what it was, so he jumped into the river and dived to the bottom.

However, when she saw the scene in front of her, she was shocked for a moment.

Did she read that correctly?

There are mermaids?

A male mermaid.

It's just that he seemed to be trapped by the stone, and there were obvious wounds where his body touched the stone.

The purple liquid was flowing out of his wound.

Forget it, a mermaid is also half a human. She held her breath, swam over and pushed the stone away.

The man tried to push the huge rock for several days but it didn't move at all. In Gu Qingyuan's hands, she pushed it away easily like a toy.

His eyes widened in surprise and his tail swung uncontrollably twice.

As a result, Gu Qingyuan, who was beside him, was swept away for a distance by his tail.

"You dead fish...you're ungrateful."

Gu Qingyuan said through gritted teeth.

"I, I didn't mean it."

Gu Qingyuan grabbed his tail, and then felt his body stiffen and he forgot to blink.

It didn't feel good to be under the water, so Gu Qingyuan let go of his tail and surfaced.

But then, she felt like there was something extra under her butt.

The mermaid actually pulled her up with her tail.

When a man, half human, half fish, emerged from the water, Gu Qingyuan could see his appearance clearly.

He actually has white hair and white eyelashes.

"Were you crying just now?" Gu Qingyuan turned her head and asked him.

"Yes, it's me."

"I didn't expect fish to cry."

"I'm not a fish," he emphasized. "Fish can breathe underwater, but I'd suffocate if I stayed underwater for too long, so I need to come up for air."

"Okay, okay, you're not a fish." Gu Qingyuan said helplessly.

"Thank you for just now."

He said it a little shyly.

"No need to thank me. I originally thought that some human was drowned, but I didn't expect it to be you." Gu Qingyuan explained very honestly.

"Then you saved me."

"Don't you humans say that if someone saves your life, you should repay them with your own life..."

"So, can I go home with you?"

Gu Qingyuan: "I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to raise fish."

“But I’m really not a fish!”

Gu Qingyuan reached out and touched the fishtail under her buttocks, "What is this?"

Because of the support of the fish's tail, she was able to sit on his tail with half of her body exposed above the water.

If you look from a distance, you might think it's a man and a woman bathing in the river.

"I'm really not a fish!" He was a little anxious and forgot that Gu Qingyuan was still sitting on his tail. He suddenly retracted his tail. Gu Qingyuan felt a void underneath and sank a little into the water.

md dead fish.

Gu Qingyuan emerged from underneath again and glared at him, "I should have known better than to meddle in other people's business."

She went to the shore, but his tail brought her back.

"You haven't promised me yet."

"Promise you what?" She looked puzzled.

"Take me away."

Gu Qingyuan took a deep breath and controlled his urge to make fish soup out of him.

"Look carefully, you only have a tail, no legs. Even if you reach the shore, you won't survive."

"Legs?"

He was extremely confused.

Gu Qingyuan pointed to his legs and said, "We humans walk on this."

He jumped onto the shore, raised his tail, and said with a bit of pride: "Look, I can walk like this too."

Gu Qingyuan's mouth twitched as he watched the mermaid jumping twice in front of him.
