Hearing this, Tianchu's group of people was furious all of a sudden, but they didn't expect that this group of people not only bullied Ah Rui, but also killed Ah Rui's mother, these people are simply demons. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"What right do you people have to put others to death? I don't think the monster in this city is the one in the lake, it's you, right? Yun Zhen stepped forward and stopped in front of Ah Rui, pointing at the old man's nose and scolding.

"You outsiders, don't get involved in the affairs of our Ganquan City, you don't need to get rid of the monsters in the lake, let's go!" The old man tapped his cane again and said coldly.

"If you don't let us take care of us, we'll leave it alone? We are going to promote justice and punish evil and promote good today, Ari, don't be afraid, tell me everything you know! Bai Yue hugged Ah Rui and encouraged.

"Yes, say it!" Mercy Star nodded at Ari, clenched his small fist and said.

"You dare?" The middle-aged man who began to threaten Ari glared at him viciously.

Before the words fell, the man fell to the ground with a bang, and the people around him retreated in shock, Duo Ling turned her ankle and gave the man a blank look, "That's a lot of words!" ā€

Sometimes you have to believe in a truth, that is, if you can do it, try not to make noise, after Duo Ling made a move, these people were obviously much more honest, and no one dared to say more.

With the protection of Tianchu's group, Rui can finally boldly reveal the secrets of Ganquan City.

Before the age of seven, Ah Rui lived a very happy life, because their Ganquan City is the best place in all Yelang countries, it is simply a fairyland on earth, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people are also beautiful, people rely on Ganquan Lake to eat the best rice, catch the fattest fish, not to mention how good the life is.

All these blessings come from the patron saint protection in Ganquan Lake, she is the spirit in Ganquan Lake, a mermaid, because of her existence Ganquan Lake has spirituality, nourishing every grass and tree here all year round, and also bringing wind and rain.

The people worship her, love her, hold a lively festival for her every year, and affectionately call her the water girl, and the water girl also does her best to repay the people here.

In this way, the isolated city of Sweet Springs relied on everything that the water girl brought them, and lived peacefully for thousands of generations, until three years ago, a wealthy merchant from Middle-earth broke the peace here.

The wealthy merchant learned that Ganquan City was a beautiful place, and the old people here had lived past a hundred years old, so he became curious and inquired about it and learned that there was a mermaid in Ganquan Lake.

Wealthy merchants have traveled all over the world and heard many legends, including the legend of mermaids.

Legend has it that eating mermaid meat will never grow old, seeing that the people here are very long-lived, the rich merchant believed in the authenticity of this legend, so he moved the mermaid's mind, he discussed with the people in the city, wanted to buy mermaid, of course the people in the city could not agree, this is their patron saint of Ganquan City.

The rich merchant tried and failed repeatedly, but still did not give up, in order to get the mermaid meat, he continued to increase his chips, and in the face of more and more glittering money, the people of Ganquan City slowly began to waver.

People are greedy, and in the end, in order to be immortal, the rich merchant invested all his wealth and poured out all his property, looking at the treasures piled up like a hill, the eyes of the people of Ganquan City were green, and they still remembered the kindness of the water girl to them.

When Ari was seven years old, he didn't know what the adults in the village were planning, and it wasn't until the day of the sacrifice that Ari finally knew the truth, and he will never forget that day in his life, that tragic scene.

The annual Dragon Boat Festival is also the day when Ganquan City worships the water girl, and on this day, every household prepares tribute as in previous years, but the expression on people's faces this year is no longer pious, but insidious that Ari can't understand.

Dragon and lion dances, firecrackers, river lanterns, throwing fruits and snacks into the lake, these programs that have been performed in previous years are staged one by one, and finally the people of the city kneel down on the sacrificial platform to worship the water girl, and a long-planned conspiracy is about to be staged.

After the people have finished worshipping, the water girl will appear on the altar to receive the blessings of the people.

After the last snort, the waves of the lake rolled, the layers of ripples opened, the water girl finally came out of the water, the people smiled happily, but the smile showed a fierce light in their eyes, and the water girl who was immersed in joy was still unaware of these.

The water girl is very beautiful, she is half human and half fish, the lower half of her body is a silver glowing fish tail, the translucent tail fin like a light gauze shines with crystal light, her skin is fair and delicate, a pair of big water blue eyes are loving and gentle, and the silver hair that is almost the same length as her body is not affected by the water, and it is flowing and flying at all times.

The water girl flew up to the altar with the splash, smiled at the people she had guarded for thousands of years, closed her eyes and began to pray for the blessings of the people as in previous years.

At this moment, the rich merchant shouted, "Catch her!" ā€

Suddenly, all the kneeling people rushed up and pounced on the water girl, their eyes full of greed, showing a demon-like expression, they drew their hidden scythes and slashed at the panicked water girl.

Blood, blood everywhere, blood stained the water girl's whole body, and also stained the greedy eyes of the people.

The water girl struggled, screamed, without the slightest sympathy, pain, despair, hatred, and overwhelmed her in an instant, she exhausted the last shred of her life, and was hacked to death by the people with blue eyes as clear as the sky, and the last knife slashed at her face, and blood spurted out, obscuring her beautiful eyes.

The people got the money, a lot of money, and they happily counted the blood-stained money, and the rich merchant was so excited that he looked up to the sky and laughed, and with the mermaid meat, he could live forever!

The rich merchant cut off the mermaid meat and couldn't wait to eat it.

After this bloody festival, the people went home, the rich merchants remained in the city for the time being, and the poor water girl was still lying on the altar in pieces, and no one cared about it.

The day after the rich merchant ate the mermaid meat, he felt that something was wrong, he was itchy all over, and he grew a lot of hard lumps, which he couldn't stand the itching, so he went to the doctor in the city, who was Ari's father.

When Ah Rui's father saw it, the rich merchant's eyes were a little red, and he didn't know what the hard lump on his body was, but he just prescribed him some medicine to take back, and the rich merchant didn't come back after carrying the medicine.

Ari's father felt that something was wrong with the rich merchant's change, and he went to the rich merchant's temporary hut three days later to see how he was doing, and was shocked when he entered the house.

The house was filled with a strong smell of fish and rancidity, and when he entered the house, he found the rich merchant lying on the bed, with scales all over his body, and his eyes even redder. (To be continued.) )
