Chapter 272: Mermaid Princess (1)
As soon as he heard about the mermaid extermination, Su Yunshao's curiosity arose.
According to the records of the book of life and death, Gu Changze became a Taoist for the sky at the age of twenty-two, so was the mermaid family extermination before or after this? Does it have anything to do with Gu Changze?
If it is related, why did Tiandao choose him as the Taoist for Tiandao?
Once the thoughts diverge, they become boundless, and the original thread cannot be found.
Ao Kexin changed the topic in a faint tone, hearing that Su Yunshao wanted to wake up the mermaid princess and tell her that storytelling was not like this.
"When I was in the clan, I thought about how to skip classes, play every day, and how to leave the place that made me feel suffocated. When I got ashore, I began to miss life in the clan again. I couldn't eat or sleep here... "
Mermaids can transform into human legs. They look like human beings but are not real human beings. They are different from many human habits.
Her skin is particularly delicate, she can't wear burlap, she can't sleep on a hard bed, and she doesn't like being too hot to cover such a thick quilt.
She likes to be clean, and can't stand the smell of raising chickens, ducks and pigs in the backyard, let alone a latrine built with two wooden boards. There is no cloth to wipe the bottom, and everyone uses grass.
All the above are the norm for all the villagers in Gujia Village.
She doesn't like to eat rice and batter. She likes to eat raw seafood and fish, because she was like this since she was a child. The mermaid lives on the bottom of the sea and is close to the water and the sea. They don't like fire.
But this kind of behavior falls in the eyes of the villagers, and it is not much different from the primitive people who drink blood. Which young lady raised by a large family will eat raw food without eating staple food?
Ao Kexin's true identity has been questioned.
She actually didn't care, because even if the villagers suspected, they couldn't show any real evidence, let alone do anything to her. Their suspicions were irrelevant.
Gu Changze told her in private: "I don't ask where you come from, but if you want to live here, you must follow everyone's living habits, otherwise you will be regarded as an alien."
Since ancient times, too conspicuous aliens have no good end.
That is to say, Ao Kexin's current anomalies are mostly raw seafood and fish. He eats elegantly, loves cleanliness, and is squeamish and delicate. There are no other things that make the villagers feel suspicious. Simple.
Ao Kexin didn't understand, "Why does the food have to be cooked before you can eat it? Why don't you just eat fresh seafood?"
Gu Changze was speechless. He couldn't say that because everyone does it, you must do it too, right?
"Well, try to eat it cooked when you are in front of others. If you want to eat raw, come to me. When the weather is good, I will go out to sea to fish, so I can hide some of the fish I caught."
Ao Kexin had seen him fishing, and knew that he said it was fishing. In fact, he was still reading and studying more often. By the time those caught fish were brought home, they would not be fresh.
"No, I want to eat the freshest, I want to go with you!"
Children of the poor have to work no matter how young. Gu Changze went to sea with his father very early. He had enough experience. He felt that it was not too difficult to bring a person, so he agreed.
Within two days, the two of them went to sea together.
When Ao Kexin was running away from home, he didn't want the clan to find out, and he couldn't give other sea clans a chance to go to the clan to report the news, so he attracted all the fish around the boat.
Gu Changze has been out at sea for so many years, and he has never encountered such a bumper harvest.
He didn't have time to take out the book and read it, and he didn't have time to practice the strange and jerky formulas and manuals. He piled all the fish caught by the fishing net on the boat. When he found that the draft of the boat was too deep, he quickly threw some of the fish back into the sea.
Ao Kexin was very surprised to see this, "Isn't the more fish the better?"
"Too much will cause the boat to capsize." Gu Changze was busy, until he threw back about half of the fish from the net.
Seeing that Ao Kexin still didn't quite understand, he explained, "If this boat can only hold a hundred fish at most, and I have put two hundred or even three hundred and four hundred fish now, do you think we can go back? ?"
"Why not?" Ao Kexin really didn't understand.
At most, Gu Changze felt that Ao Kexin was a little ignorant of world affairs and common sense, and it was impossible to imagine that the beautiful girl around him was not human at all.
He caught too many fish. He didn't want to sit in the middle of a pile of fish and talk. He sent the fish home first, and then took Ao Kexin to the creek.
He folded a small boat with leaves, placed it on the water, found many stones and put them on it one by one, until the boat was crushed by the weight of the stones little by little and sank completely, and the boat and the stones disappeared together.
Aoki understood.
She knows that humans are not the same as mermaids, they can't breathe and live in water, and she doesn't ask too uncommon questions, and she has more things to pay attention to.
The sea clan who were let go today might report to the mermaid clan, and she was worried that her family would come and capture her.
The fact was very different from what she imagined. In her unease and waiting, none of the family members came to her, including her maid and guard, as if they didn't know she was here at all.
Ao Kexin's mood suddenly became complicated.
She didn't want to be taken back by her family and forced to learn things that she was not interested in, but the clansmen really didn't come to her, and she felt that she was no longer the pampered princess, no longer pampered.
She felt abandoned.
To Su Yunshao say, this is idle.
"I later learned that it's not that my parents didn't know where I was, but I just felt that I was being pushed too hard and that was the wrong way. I felt that I should go through more things and become more mature, so I let me go. Living among human beings." Ao Kexin said with emotion.
Gujia Village is a half-rural half-fishing village. Men fish and women farm. Children who can walk will follow their elders to pick up rice ears during the harvest season, and older children will go to the mountains to hunt hog grass to feed the pigs.
She is the only outlier in the village. She does not go to farm with other women, nor does she take care of children at home like other women. When the weather is good, she follows Gu Changze to go fishing in the sea, and when the weather is bad, she follows Gu Changze to the river to look for snails, Catch the loach.
Everyone else in the family would do farm work, and Gu Changze was the only exception in the family.
Ao Kexin didn't understand and asked him, "Why don't you farm?"
"I'm the only scholar in my family." Gu Changze said, "If I pass the imperial examination and become the champion and become an official, it will be a great event for honoring the ancestors. I insist on reducing the burden on my family and making sure that it will not affect my studies before I can go out to fish. ."
Ao Kexin didn't understand what the imperial examination was. She felt that the books Gu Changze read when he was fishing should have nothing to do with the imperial examination, because the strange formulas were somewhat similar to what she learned.
- Gu Changze learns techniques.
She didn't reveal it, and just followed Gu Changze's side to watch him study, occasionally asking a few questions.
Mermaid characters are different from those used by humans.
Gu Changze didn't ask her why she came from a wealthy family and didn't know how to read. He taught her to read and write while she was studying, and practiced the strange formulas and manuals together.
The Gu family didn't stop them from getting closer and closer, and sometimes they smiled knowingly when they saw them being so close.
The mermaid tribe arranged the best master, but Ao Kexin was reluctant to learn.
Under the guidance of Gu Changze himself, who was half a bucket of water, they explored and groped together, and stumblingly learned techniques, but she learned some results.
Later, she thought about it and thought that it might be because in Gujia Village, no one urged her to study all day long, saying what would happen if she didn't study.
There are not as many recreational activities on the shore, and the only person who can play with her is Gu Changze. When Gu Changze was studying, she didn't want to be alone by herself, so she stayed by his side, watched and participated in it.
By the time she realized it, she had already sensed the joy of learning and exploration, and continued naturally.
And Gu Changze is because Ao Kexin is the only one in the entire Gujia Village who will not despise him for learning these things, and will not think that he is playing with things and lose his mind. Instead, he will ponder with him the broken book he picked up casually, the kind of people who walk with him to explore the unknown world. The feeling made him unable to stop.
Two people who were completely two worlds before this and the demon had common hobbies and topics, and gradually developed feelings from the friendship of companions.
The Gu family and all the villagers in Gujia Village are happy to see this happen.
Some people think that as long as two people like it, they can be together without so much trouble. Although some people worry that Ao Kexin's family will disagree, they think that it would be difficult for a woman to return to her parents' home when she was married and broke. At that time, Gu Changze might not have to go to the top of the imperial examinations, and he could easily achieve the results that many people could not achieve after ten years of hard work.
No matter what others think, Ao Kexin and Gu Changze want to be together.
No matter how he ran away from home, the matter of getting married was very important, and Ao Kexin decided to tell the family.
She was still a little embarrassed, thinking that she had been out for more than half a year, and no one from her family was sent to look for her.
Before she could figure out how to notify the family that she was going to marry, the mother and three older brothers came.
They chose a month and night, came very low-key, and informed her with the mermaid technique.
Ao Kexin followed the news and saw his family on the coast. His heart was sour and sour. The words "How did you find me?!" were about to come out, and he bit them for face.
The first sentence the mother said was: "Ke Xin, go back."
"I'm not going back." Ao Kexin shook his head, "Mother, I met someone I like here, and I want to marry him."
The eldest brother has always been irritable, and said angrily: "Ao Kexin, have you forgotten who you are? You are the mermaid princess that the mermaid clan has longed for, and you have a marriage contract with the whale clan on your back, how can you do it? Willingly degenerate into marrying a despicable human being!"
It is not the first time that Ao Kexin has learned of the disgust and resistance of his family to human beings.
At that time, she didn't feel anything. She didn't expect that when she fell in love with human beings and listened to these words that she took for granted in the past, her heart would be so painful.
Maybe it's because she didn't want to hear Gu Changze being scolded like that by her elder brother?
The second brother is more gentle. Many times Ao Kexin thinks that his second brother should be the eldest brother. He has always tolerated his younger brother and sister, and cleaned up the mess for them when they were in trouble.
"Ke Xin, you are sure to give up the marriage contract with the whale clan, give up being the queen of the whale clan, and follow such a human from now on, living in such a remote and shabby village, with no maids to serve, no guards to protect, from now on for their family Do you take care of housework and raise children and serve your parents-in-law for a lifetime?"
What the second brother said was all that Ao Kexin would do after marrying into the Gu family. It could be said that she put the future that could be seen at a glance in front of her so realistically and clearly, and let her make her own choices.
Whether it is to be a queen of a family served and respected by the clan, and honor her for a lifetime, or be a daughter-in-law of a poor family and work hard for her whole life.
The second brother spoke very clearly and well. He felt that his sister had not suffered much since she was a child, and he would definitely retreat when he heard the troublesome things to do in the future.
But he still underestimated his sister. Ao Kexin followed Gu Changze for more than half a year in the world. He didn't worry about eating and drinking, and he didn't endure much hardship. Naturally, he couldn't imagine his future life.
She takes it for granted that what is going on now, and how will it be after getting married.
At most, I miss the days when I was in the clan. In addition to finding ways to play truant, I can do whatever I want, eat whatever I want, and I don't need to hide from other people when I eat a little raw seafood.
"I can." Ao Ke thought about Gu Changze, who followed her to take care of her, and the fiancé of the whale clan who had never met and didn't know what kind of fiance he would be, and felt that life in Gujia Village should be better. .
Seeing that his sister was so stubborn, the elder brother sneered and clenched his fists: "I want to see if the person you are marrying has three heads and six arms, and can he block my move!"
How could a despicable human with a lifespan of only fifty or sixty years be compared to the noble king of the whale clan? Who is worthy of the princess who grew up in their mermaid clan? !
Ao Ke was shocked: "No way!"
The eldest brother is the strongest warrior of the Mermaid clan, and he can compete with the warriors of the Shark clan and the whale clan, who are naturally stronger. How can Gu Changze, who is only a little bit of a three-legged cat spell at the beginning of his learning of spells, be able to compete with him? big brother?
Big brother is used to giving orders in the clan, how can he tolerate others' disobedience? She is still the little sister who grew up doting on her childhood, disobeying him for a strange man.
Immediately, his complexion became extremely ugly, and his eyes were a little cold when he looked at his sister: "I want to see, how can you stop me, who has been lazy since I was a child?!"
Ao Kexin knew that Big Brother's strength and status were accumulated through battles. He had also heard that Big Brother ruthlessly killed many enemies on the battlefield, and he would not easily let go of those who surrendered.
But such a fierce elder brother, who is always doting on his younger sister in front of her, sometimes apologizes in a hurry because his rough big hand hurts her, turning his face red with anxiety.
For the first time, Ao Kexin faced her elder brother's murderous aura sharpened from the battlefield, and she was afraid.
At the same time, she also knew very well that the eldest brother would not do anything to herself, but to Gu Changze maybe, death might be the easiest way to escape.
"If you want to hurt him, you have to step over my body!" Ao Kexin opened his hands and stopped on the road.
This is a phrase that Gu Changze heard when he accompanied her to a play not long ago.
She felt that it was suitable for this place, because she knew very well that her family members could not and would not be willing to hurt her. The family loved her so much, but they would eventually give in.
However, she didn't know how such statements and actions would hurt her family who had always spoiled her.
The eldest brother took two steps back in shock. This soldier who was cut in half on the battlefield never took a step back. Facing the death of his own sister, he retreated.
The eldest brother twitched his lips, unable to say a word after several attempts, and finally left first, not caring for his mother and younger brother who came with him.
His stature is still so tall, but his back has added some unspeakable sadness.
The third brother, who had never spoken, looked at his sister with disapproving eyes: "The one who loves you the most among us is the eldest brother, and you still hurt him with such words."
Ao Kexin also regretted seeing the figure of her eldest brother leaving, but she felt that she was right.
"Big brother is going to hurt someone I like!"
The second brother, who has always been gentle and tolerant of his younger siblings, was smiling, but Ao Kexin felt chills all over his body.
"So you chose the latter between the eldest brother who loved you since childhood and the man you knew for less than half a year."
His younger sister would make such a choice, but he also did not expect, no, it should be said that it was as early as when Ao Kexin left the maid and the guards for the first time, and let the whole family look for her to find the sky without any guilt. , he should have expected.
-My sister was abandoned.
Realizing this, the second brother walked in a hurry.
The marriage contract between the mermaid and the whales was settled 500 years ago. Ao Kexin's unilateral breach of the contract became a breach of trust for the mermaids, which would make them unable to lift their heads in front of the whales and the entire sea. He needed to do so as soon as possible. Go back and discuss with your father how to deal with follow-up related matters.
It would be fine if the two parties just agreed to terminate the engagement after negotiation, but now Ao Kexin chose human beings instead of the engagement, which is equivalent to her saying that the king of the whale clan is inferior to a human, and slapped the whale clan in the face.
The second brother is worried, the combat power of the mermaid is weak. I hope that the whales will not take this opportunity to provoke a war between the two tribes. I also hope that other sea tribes will not take the opportunity to cause trouble, so that the recent waves of the sea tribe will regenerate the incident. .
The successive departures of the eldest brother and the second brother hadn't made Ao Kexin realize anything. She only thought that she had the upper hand in this conversation and successfully persuaded the two older brothers.
The eldest brother threatened by force, the second brother was reasonable, neither of the two brothers could make the younger sister change his mind, the third brother did not think he could do what the two older brothers could not do, and stayed quietly behind the mother without saying a word. send.
Ao Kexin felt that the third brother agreed, and looked at his mother, who had only said one sentence after the meeting and had yet to express her position, "Mother, don't you agree?"
The queen mother didn't answer for a long time, the silence seemed to have given the answer, and Ao Kexin's eyes showed a trace of disappointment.
She lowered her head, not seeing her mother's look at her, even more disappointed, and the trace of pity that passed quickly.
"Ao Kexin, since you have firmly decided to marry a human being and give up your identity and responsibility as a mermaid princess, you will be fulfilled in the future. From today, Ao Kexin is no longer the princess of the mermaid clan, depriving you of your surname and expelling you Clan, from now on, it has nothing to do with the mermaid clan, and you must not step into the mermaid clan’s territory again in your lifetime!”
Ao Kexin: ! !
She wanted to say that she just wanted to be with Gu Changze and didn't mean to abandon her family and clansmen completely, but her mother and third brother had already left.
When they left, they used the technique of shrinking the ground into an inch. Ao Kexin was lazy in the past and didn't learn it. He didn't know that. He couldn't catch up with his ordinary legs. out of her life.
At that moment, she seemed to understand something, and at the same time, she didn't seem to understand anything. The only thing that was absolutely certain was that her family didn't want her anymore.
Ao Ke returned to Gu's house in despair. The small family of seven people from three generations of grandparents and grandchildren squeezed into three rooms. The front yard grows vegetables, and the backyard raises chickens, ducks and pigs. There is a strange odor everywhere.
All the places before and after adding up, are not as big as the place where the clothes are kept in her palace.
She regretted it.
Lying on the bed, she asked herself: For Gu Changze, I gave up being the princess of the mermaid clan and the queen of the whale clan, and was it really worth living with him in this dilapidated small courtyard?
The decision has been made, she was also expelled from the family by her mother, and she had no face to go back, so she could only bite the bullet and go on. She felt that Gu Changze treated her so well before he got married, and he would only treat her better after he got married.
Yes, that's it! Her choice can't be wrong!
Within two days, the Gu family began to discuss marriage.
When a big family gets married, they pay attention to three media and six employments. The Gu family is not a big family in the village. After all, it is also the village chief’s family.
Although Ao Kexin has lived in their house, some things have to be done according to the steps.
During the negotiation, the Gu family found out that Ao Kexin didn't understand anything. When asked about her birth date, they answered in a veiled manner.
Ao Kexin knew from the villagers of the Gu family that the more dowry a woman married, the more her husband's family valued her, and the better her face was.
If she wants to add a little face to herself, she must find a way to get a generous dowry.
A woman must have a dowry when she gets married, and her family must be present on the wedding day, but she has nothing.
Her maiden family did not agree to her marrying a human being, it was impossible for her to attend her wedding, and they would not give her any dowry.
Having lost her identity as a mermaid princess, she has no face to return to the Hui clan. She took the things her brothers gave her after her parents and queen mother. What she has now is not even as good as the most ordinary clan in a clan.
In desperation, she thought of the necessary skill of the mermaid: tears forming beads.
No one on the island raises mussels, nobody raises pearls, let alone the pearls that her tears turn into.
If she sells those pearls, she can marry with dignity.
When she was alone in the room at night, she cried out a large bag of pearls, which she handed over to Gu Changze's parents early the next morning, saying it was her dowry.
This behavior further deepened the suspicion of Gu's family towards her.
Ao Kexin never cleans and tidies her own room, which is related to the fact that all her things in the past were done by the maids, and she didn't need to do it herself.
After arriving at Gu's house, Gu Changze's mother and sister cleaned up, and she didn't need to do anything.
It is because of this that they both understand that there are no pearls in Ao Kexin's room at all.
Such a small bag that was suddenly taken out, all round, without flaws, are of high quality, how can people not suspect the source?
The wedding went on as usual, a little shabby.
The woman did not have any family members, and the only guests attending the wedding banquet were the man's relatives and the villagers of Gujia Village.
As the bride, Ao Kexin wore a simple red dress, without even a good-looking wedding dress. Looking at the simple wedding room and the simple wedding banquet, she was deeply silent.
She gave a lot of pearls, and she could buy a lot of dowry, but the Gu family said that the wedding did not need to be too extravagant, and it was better to live a simple life, and some unnecessary things were avoided.
She inevitably wondered what a grand wedding scene would be if she married the king of the whale clan.
The wedding of the princess of the mermaid clan and the king of the whale clan is a grand event for the entire sea clan and must be grand.
At this time, it was too late for Ao Kexin to regret it.
Soon, she experienced what the second brother said.
Before getting married, she was a guest of Gu's family. Maybe one day her family would come to pick her up, and she was the one who needed to be held.
After becoming a parent, she is the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, she needs to take care of her younger siblings, she needs to serve her parents-in-law, she needs to cook when her family goes out to farm, and she needs to feed chickens, ducks and pigs.
In the past, Ao Kexin didn't even have to fold the quilt for his own sleep, and there were people serving him when he was eating. How could he have experienced this?
She didn't want to do this kind of work, so she asked Gu Changze and bought a maid with the pearls in her dowry. The maid did all the work in the kitchen and other dirty work.
It was good at first, and within a few days, this maid became a maid that the whole family could use.
She wanted to drink some water and asked the maid to pour it. She also had to see if the maid was instructed by her family to work and whether she was free. She was so angry that she almost went into a rage, thinking that it was Gu Changze's family who endured it.
Ao Kexin couldn't stand the days when no one was serving him, so he spent money to buy a maid to come back.
The mother-in-law complained that she couldn't make a living and said that if she had the money, it would be better to buy more land to grow crops. The sister-in-law complained that she would only be lazy if she did nothing, and the uncle complained that she couldn't sweep the land and would delay her brother's studies, but they were saying At these times, she did not forget to use the maid she bought back with money.
Ao Kexin was impatient with the short and trivial matters of the parents, but this is the life of ordinary people. The second brother told her before, and she swore that she could accept it.
"I was too naive at that time." Ao Kexin sighed.
After listening so much, Su Yunshao found that most of Ao Kexin's stories were talking about the conflicts between her and her parents, queen mother, and elder brothers, and the consequences of not listening to her family members. The part about her and Gu Changze only accounted for it. less than a quarter.
Does this prove that in Ao Kexin's heart, Gu Changze is irrelevant at all?
Su Yunshao was a little worried about whether she could really learn about Gu Changze's weakness from Ao Kexin, but after listening to such a long story, it would be useless to interrupt now.
"Don't worry, I'll talk about what you want to know soon." Ao Kexin knew what Su Yunshao was worried about.
Su Yunshao took a deep breath and gave a reassuring gesture to Taiji Yangyu and Ruan Mei, who were probing their brains in the distance, "Princess, please."
"I'm no longer a princess." Ao Kexin laughed at himself.
What she likes is Gu Changze alone, and she is impatient to talk to the rest of the Gu family.
Thinking that my money is easy to come by, I just need to cry, I will take out those high-quality pearls, and pay for the family to build a big house.
She feels that there is no problem that money can't solve. Since you talk about this and that every day, you won't have so much nonsense when you are busy, right?
Then, she discussed with Gu Changze that the two of them live alone, and buy a maid to come back to serve.
Where did Gu Changze live when he was served by a maid and didn't need himself for everything? Some heartbeat, but also feel bad.
"The family is not rich, we should still save a little bit, and you can live better when you are pregnant and have children."
Ao Kexin couldn't say that his money came easily, that would reveal his identity as a mermaid.
She only said that she was rich, and insisted on building two suites. She and Gu Changze's house were built with more care, and the rest of the Gu family's houses could be built by themselves.
After the cover was over, the problem came again.
The Gu family felt that their parents were still there and they could not separate the family. Everyone had to live together, and they talked, scolded and made trouble every day.
She just went out to get some air, and when she came back, she found that the whole family lived in the house, and the good things she bought with a lot of money were all cleaned up by them.
When I asked the maid, the maid said that Gu Changze put it in.
Gu Changze himself said: "There is no reason to split up and live in another family with my parents here. Our family is big enough that it doesn't matter if my parents, siblings, and siblings live together. It's a lively place for everyone."
Ao Kexin: "…"
She wanted to say, "If you said that earlier, would it be necessary for me to build two suites?", and she wanted to say, "This house was built at my expense, it's my house, what right do you have to let them live in?", She also wanted to say, "You guys really care about the family, dogs can't change their shit!"
In the end, everything turned into a constant backlog of disappointment, and she found that she didn't like Gu Changze anymore.
In order to disguise herself as a human, she said that she was sixteen years old, only one month younger than Gu Changze.
The two got married at the age of sixteen. A year later, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She often took his son to the beach to play, pointing to the sea and saying, "That's your hometown and mine."
When his son was three years old, Gu Changze had learned about the same, and went out of the island to take the imperial examinations.
And that was the beginning of tragedy.
The triennial sacrifice to the sea **** has arrived.
The last time she offered sacrifices to the sea god, she was confinement, and she didn't know that such a stupid thing had happened in the village.
To worship the sea god?
The princesses in the sea are all here, where are these people sending the sacrifices?
What's more outrageous is that they firmly believe that if they send a young girl to the sea **** as a bride, the sea **** will bless the fishermen who go out to sea to return home safely and have a good harvest.
How could Ao Kexin helplessly watch them throw an innocent girl away?
The girl burst into tears, crying and begging to the people around her: "Save me, I don't want to be treated as a sacrifice, I don't want to be a bride!"
The villagers, who used to be kind in the past, turned a blind eye to this.
The girl's parents were just there to persuade the girl not to do this. Only by marrying the **** of the sea can the island be prosperous and prosperous.
Everyone was determined to send the girl to death, but the girl cried and begged until her throat became hoarse, but no one was willing to save her, and finally she saw Ao Kexin.
"Ke Xin, save me! Please!"
"You can't be so cruel." Ao Kexin hesitated, but finally took that step and saved the girl, "There is no sea **** in the sea, and there is no need for a bride, you are just sending her to death, no A little help is nothing but a life."
"how do you know?"
"You are slandering the Sea God!"
"There will be retribution for tarnishing the Sea God!"
"Send her down!"
"Yes, send her to worship the Sea God!"
When Ao Kexin heard the phrase "Send her down!", she quickly looked in the direction the voice came from, and it really came out of the uncle's mouth.
She knew why her brother-in-law wanted to kill her, but it was just jealousy.
Jealous of the Gu family for letting the eldest son Gu Changze study, and let him fish and farm.
He was jealous that Gu Changze had married a beautiful daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law he married was not good-looking.
He was jealous that she brought so much dowry and lived a rich and happy life, and his daughter-in-law didn't have much dowry for him to squander.
I don't know when my brother-in-law caught the love of gambling. He not only lost his daughter-in-law's dowry, but also stole the money from his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Then he tried to steal her money. before.
My mother-in-law was a lover of money. She always thought that when Gu Changze became an official in the future, she would have to manage all aspects. She wanted to save a little for emergencies, but as a result, there was no place to hide the money.
After the incident became serious, the whole village knew that the uncle loved to gamble, took his daughter-in-law's dowry, and also stole the family's money, which made the uncle especially shameless.
While Gu Changze was not at home, the uncle tried to use his heart against Ao Ke by being drunk, but she beat him again.
If there is a chance to rectify her, and justifiably embezzle her dowry, can't you fan the flames?
When the uncle said this, the father-in-law, mother-in-law and sister-in-law were both moved.
Ao Kexin sneered, it's no wonder that a mermaid princess who knows magic skills can be restrained by a few ordinary people!
But she forgot that when she was saving the girl, she let go of her son's hand, and the son was not by her side.
The brother-in-law picked up her son and threatened, "Ao Kexin, you better be obedient and jump down by yourself, otherwise you will save her. Sea God doesn't have a bride this year, so I'll have to send him a virgin!"
"Beast!" Ao Kexin scolded angrily.
"Come on." The uncle didn't care that it was his little nephew, who was related to him by blood. He was about to throw Ao Kexin's son into the sea, but none of his parents-in-law and sister-in-law came to stop him.
Ao Kexin's heart was cold.
Her son was often brought to the beach by her. He had learned to swim, and he was not afraid of water. When he was carried by his uncle like that, he was just playing. He laughed and was not afraid.
The mermaid family has a long life and will develop later in childhood.
In ordinary families, children can talk when they are more than one year old, and their son can't call his parents when he is three years old. Therefore, the village always says that she gave birth to a fool.
Now that he was about to be thrown into the sea, his son's reaction was the same, which completely confirmed the fact that he was a fool.
Ao Kexin was thinking about how to safely save his son from his uncle's hand. When the uncle slipped his hand, his son really fell into the sea.
"Ah—" the villagers exclaimed, and some villagers immediately went into the water to save them.
Unexpectedly, the children who entered the water floated up from the sea with a smile, carrying a fish tail that humans would never have.
"It's a mermaid!"
"Mermaid who can live forever!"
I don't know who called it out first, but the eyes of all the villagers looking at Ao Kexin and her son were full of greed and viciousness.
The girl who was rescued by Ao Kexin reacted extremely quickly, picking up a large stone from the ground and hitting it with all her strength on the back of Ao Kexin's head.
That note is like a signal.
Some villagers swarmed up and worked together to arrest Ao Kexin, and some villagers went to sea to arrest her son.
Ao Kexin knew some techniques. After resisting several times, he saw that his son had become a hostage in their hands, so he had to give up his resistance.
No matter how slow his son's response was, he was intimidated by his mother, whose head was covered in blood and ashes.
As soon as he cried, the tears fell rustling, but small pearls fell.
Disaster after disaster.
The greedy villagers scalded their mother and son with needles, forcing them to cry and drop pearls.
Ao Kexin is already an adult, and it's okay to cry more. Her son is a mixed blood of a human and a mermaid, and his strength is weaker. Otherwise, he wouldn't change his tail for the first time when he was three years old.
After crying a few times, her son's cry became weak, and the tears could not be squeezed out.
Ao Kexin didn't like to go to class. No one dared to make her cry since she was a child. She didn't know that crying pearls when she was too young would damage her body.
In addition, their mother and son were detained separately, and she could only hear her son's cry weakened.
When her mother-in-law asked her why her son couldn't cry, in fact, his son's breath was already very weak. Ao Ke was anxious to see that his son would not be allowed. She was afraid that her resistance would cause the villagers to hurt her son, and she would not dare to be anxious. act rashly.
"I still regret that I didn't study the law well." The mermaid in the white jade coffin kept dropping pearls. The strange thing was that only one eye was crying, and the other eye remained silent.
"I hate that I have conditions that others can't envy but I don't know how to cherish it.
