The island at night is very quiet, and the silence is insanely quiet.

Qi Zhiming tossed and turned, thought for a long night, and fell asleep after making up his mind.

Gou Hong in the other room had no sleep all night.

As soon as the sky was hazy, the two got up early, finished their morning exercises, and began to wash.

"Brother Ming, what are you thinking about? You can't want to stay here and be that bullshit elder, right? Gou Hong looked at Qi Zhiming, who was refreshed, and asked.

"Da Gou, you and I are in a different situation. There are more than a dozen people in your family, young and old, waiting for you to go home to feed. And I'm no longer caring, alone, and I'm the same everywhere. I'm tired of some bad things in society, I'm used to being careless, and I can't stand it anymore. It's better to stay here, find an island and live a beautiful life with the princess. Qi Zhiming said calmly, relieved.

"What about the eldest nephew? That's your son! You don't want him? Don't want to see him? Gou Hong asked unrelentingly.

Sons are the continuation of every man's life and the hope of dreaming and working harder.

"Will go see him later. Guoguo is still young, and he is abroad, and his mother takes him well. My sudden intervention will make him feel at a loss at a young age, and it will also leave a shadow, which is not conducive to his growth. Wait until he's eighteen years old! You don't have to take care of him too much. Qi Zhiming looked into the distance steadily, pondered for a long time before saying.

Gou Hong did not continue to persuade him, and Qi Zhiming did not mention the separation again. Both of them had a lot to say, but now they couldn't speak.

For a few days, the two big men drank when they were fine, and when they got drunk, they hugged their heads and cried. Separation is imminent, goodbye is far away, cherish every moment together.

Gou Hong's words were much less, and he was stunned all day except for drinking.

Qi Zhiming didn't try to persuade him, he just kept drinking.

When I was drunk, I went to sleep, and when I woke up, I drank it, for fear that my will was not strong enough, so I went back with Gou Hong on the spur of the moment.

The two were relatively speechless, letting their tears fill their eyes, snot crossed the river, and drank it all together in the wine, as if they were going to drink the wine of the next life together.

The princess came to see it a few times, and found that the two were either crying or smirking at each other, and for some reason, she went to ask the elder.

It was determined that the elder had bullied the two.

"We mermaids have hope, hope!" The elder kept repeating it, and there was no second word.

The princess felt that the elder was stupid by the formation, and the entire clan seemed to have no backbone, and all the mermaids' faces were full of sorrow, and they couldn't stop worrying.

The day finally came, Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong staggered and came to the elder's cave.

A group of merfolk were already waiting beside the elder, looking at the two of them who were standing unsteadily, dumb and silent.

"You old thing, leave my brother Ming to send you to the end? Satisfied now, right? You're all satisfied, right? It's true that you saved us, but we promised to buy you an island, didn't we? I built a great array for you, and rescued my people for you, what else do you want? Yes? You old thing can play beauty tricks, don't you? Lao Tzu is not afraid, Lao Tzu wants you to ········"

Qi Zhiming hurriedly covered Gou Hong's mouth to prevent him from continuing to speak openly.

"Which eldest sister works hard, my brother is drunk, help him back to the room to rest!" Qi Zhiming glanced at the elder and said.

The elder pointed to the two clansmen next to him and said, "You help Gou Xiaoyou back to rest, so that you can serve him!" ”

The clansmen came over and helped the struggling Gou Hong to leave.

"Qi Xiaoyou, please take a seat!" The elder smiled slightly.

Qi Zhiming swayed and sat down on the stool.

After Qi Zhiming sat down, the elder looked at him and said, "Qi Xiaoyou must have come here this time to give advice!" But there is something to ask, nothing is not allowed, please speak! ”

"I'm proposing!" Qi Zhiming said loudly.

The elder glared in surprise. Knowing that Qi Zhiming had something to do, Yagen didn't expect it to be this kind of thing.

All the mermaids exclaimed in an uproar.

Only the princess blushed, but the clansmen didn't notice her abnormality, and they were all staring at Qi Zhiming.

"I want to marry Yexiang as my wife, please ask the elders for permission!" Qi Zhiming looked at the princess and said loudly to the elders.

It is magnificent, as if it were a matter of course.

"The little friend is talented, the princess is beautiful and intelligent, and she is a match made in heaven. But according to the clan rules, unless the little friend stays here forever. Otherwise, this is absolutely impossible. As soon as the elder spoke, he lowered his eyes, ignoring him, and looked like he was underbeaten.

If this matter was Gou Hong, he wouldn't dare to do this. People are good and deceived, and it is true.

"Old thing, I know! I knew you were going to look like that! My brother Ming has decided to stay, you old thing, still embarrassing him like a dog? Phew! A lot of age has been living on dogs, right? Gou Hong shouted loudly from the entrance of the cave.

Although he drank too much, he was not too drunk to wake up. The merfolk didn't dare to drag him away forcibly, so they had to let him sit at the entrance of the cave to rest. Hearing the elder talking like this, he immediately became angry, and his anger came up.

Gou Hong is different from Qi Zhiming, he doesn't care about any courtesy, respect. In a word, you have to listen to me, if you say it wrong, don't talk about it, and if you say it again, you will be scared!

The elder really ate him, and said hurriedly: "Qi Xiaoyou said to stay earlier, why did he have such a misunderstanding?" The old man agreed to your proposal, and the princess must have agreed too, right? ”

All the mermaids' eyes were focused on the princess's pretty crimson face.

The princess held back her shyness and whispered, "Yexiang is willing, thank you for the fulfillment!" ”

Qi Zhiming said loudly: "Thank you, Elder, for making it perfect!" There is another matter, which is related to the safety of the clan, and the younger generation has to say. My brother's parents, wife, and children are still alive, and it is not the best policy to live here for a long time, and I hope that the elders will allow my brother to return home. If you can trust the younger generation, for the safety of the clan, to buy the island, let my brother handle it together, right? ”

What Xiaoyou said is very true, the old man originally had this intention, but he is old and easy to forget. When will Gou Xiaoyou leave? The old man asked the clansmen to pack up the gifts in advance, so as to see off Gou Xiaoyou, haha······"

The elder's purpose has been achieved, and it was Qi Zhiming himself who took the initiative to put it forward, so he couldn't help but be proud of his old plan.

"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid of this old guy, if he dares to bully you, I will pluck out his beard next time I come." Gou Hong staggered over to the princess and comforted her, but his eyes were on the elder's sparse beard.

The elder subconsciously held the few remaining whiskers, and it seemed that he had been plucked by Gou Hong before. I just don't know why I was pulled out.

Everyone had no intention of thinking about other things, and was immersed in the joy of buying the island and the complicated emotions of being separated.

After getting along for a long time, Gou Hong is cheerful and free-spirited, and very humorous, and more importantly, he is still a very handsome young man, which is especially important for mermaid girls who have no men of appropriate age here.

······

Separation is inevitable, and so is sadness. When the princess and Qi Zhiming sent Gou Hong away together, the group of mermaid girls were already in tears, and they couldn't make a sound.

Gou Hong was deeply moved, turned around and came to them: "Sisters, I am a person with a wife, I can't stand everyone!" Then he bowed comically, causing the merfolk to laugh again.

"I promise that next time I come back, I will bring you handsome guys like my brother Ming, let you choose by yourself, and you must start as soon as possible. Be like my sister-in-law and strike first, okay? Gou Hong really has this kind of ability, turning the sad parting mood into full expectation. By the way, it also eliminated Qi Zhiming and the princess's worries.

All the mermaids shouted together.

"Brother Ming, your brother is powerful enough, and he is very good at buying people's hearts! Although you have worked hard, this kid is more popular than you in a few words. The princess laughed.

"I know him, that's why I asked him to buy islands for you, and he will definitely succeed. Alright, let's send him away! It's going to be uncomfortable to linger any longer. After Qi Zhiming finished speaking, the three of them walked away.

······

As she went, the princess took out a jade pendant and fastened it to the bubble. Rushed out of the foggy sea, traveled day and night, and finally sent Gou Hong to a dock five days later.

The princess handed Gou Hong a jade pendant and said solemnly: "When you came, you must have memorized the route, right?" When you want to come back, put the jade pendant on the bow of the boat, and it will naturally take you back to the island at that time. You are Brother Ming's brother in life and death, you have to be self-conscious, and don't be rash. It would be best if Brother Ming did this, but he was not as tactful as you. Take care! ”

It was a piece of jade pendant that shone with blue light, blue and beautiful.

It was already past ten o'clock at night, and there were many passengers coming down from the cruise ship in the distance, bustling.

Gou Hong turned around and hugged Qi Zhiming tightly, and couldn't help tears flowing down again.

"Brother Ming, take care, I'll come back to see you in a year at most." Gou Hong choked up and said.

"Good brother, take care! The world is sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, so be careful in everything. Come back to me if you have something, don't let anyone know, let's go! Qi Zhiming was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions and pushed Gou Hong away.

The two parted in tears.

Qi Zhiming looked straight at Gou Hong and disappeared into the crowd.

······

On the return trip, Qi Zhiming was always depressed, and no matter how relieved and comforted the princess, the depression in his heart could not be alleviated.

"Brother Ming, a manly man, don't be a daughter. A good man has ambitions in all directions, and Gou Hong is no worse than you in dealing with problems. You are fit to be an emperor, and he is fit to be a general. Although it is not in accordance with the etiquette and law, it is also reasonable. He will win people's hearts, his brain is flexible, and the elders have a headache for him, so don't worry! The princess's words were reasonable.

Qi Zhiming's mood was a lot more relaxed.

"I'm used to being casual, but I don't want to be an emperor or general, just live a free and easy life, and just stay with you for a lifetime. The power and wealth have nothing to do with me, but you don't think I'm poor. Qi Zhiming smiled bitterly.

"You're not forced to be emperor yet. Life is long, there are many changes, and no one can say what tomorrow will bring! All in all······ After all, I am tied to you for the rest of my life, and Brother Ming will bear me! As she spoke, the princess's voice lowered.

Qi Zhiming was in a stirring mood, and couldn't help but bow his head and kiss it.

The journey was endless, stop-and-go, and it took many days to return to the island, which attracted the amusement of a group of mermaid girls.

Qi Zhiming just smiled awkwardly, and the princess was chasing those mermaid girls, frolicking.

sighed in my heart, I was trapped by love in this life.
