What is this, the jade fox actually wants to help the city lord catch her, crooked and a little suspicious that he is dreaming, staring at the jade fox with an incredulous gaze.

The jade fox didn't squint, didn't look crooked, and said to the city lord, "Companion?" she sneered, "Every time she divides the silver taels, she takes more, and I take less, and I have long been dissatisfied with her." Besides, I am a businessman, profit first, as long as the money is enough, let alone my companions, I can sell anyone. ”

Jade Fox's expression and tone told Crooked that she wasn't joking. Now he was in a hurry, and shouted to the jade fox: "Have you been drugged?"

The crooked words shocked the city lord and waved his hand again and again: "I, I didn't take the drug, I didn't take the drug." ”

Jade Fox snorted coldly: "What, how much are you willing to pay?"

"Two hundred taels of silver, how?" said Mrs. Du.

"Deal!"

The jade fox came to the crooked step by step, and the crooked step by step retreated, and the little heart was beating non-stop.

*

The dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion was cold and damp, and there was a rancid smell. The cells are also constructed differently from the others, each with a door made of impregnable black iron, and a large space inside, half flat and the other half a pool, the water in the pool is muddy and dirty.

Sitting crookedly on a stone in the corner, holding his face in his hands, he couldn't react to what had just happened, why did Jade Fox help them arrest her?

I was thinking hard when I suddenly heard a pop in the water. Crooked eyes hurriedly moved over, and saw that the splash was falling.

"Who?"

The crooked inquiries sink into the sea like stones, and there is not a single echo. She stared at the surface of the water for a long time, and there was no movement on the surface of the water. Just as she lowered her head, ready to continue her sorrows, there was another sound, accompanied by the sound of chains rattling. Crooked quickly looked up and saw a huge fishtail swinging and sinking into the water.

She stood up and wanted to see the truth, but the water was too muddy, and the fishtail quickly disappeared into the water, and she couldn't see it again.

Could it be that their cell is half fish, half prisoners? Crooked was muttering in her heart, for some reason, her head suddenly dizzy, she leaned against the wall, let herself sit down slowly, and shook her head. The scene in front of her began to drift and overlap, and in a blur, she saw two eyes emerging from the water, staring at her.

She raised her hand and pinched her thigh, letting out a violent scream of pain.

At the same time, there was a loud cry from the lake, and an unknown spirit, grinning at the crooked and swooping at her, grabbed the water's edge and made a threatening gesture at her.

Crooked was caught off guard, and jumped up from this strange fright, and the whole person was tightly attached to the wall, if she could pass through the wall, she would have gone to the wall earlier.

The spirit's fangs were terrifyingly slender and slender, and after a moment of fright, it quickly retreated, submerging itself back into the water, revealing only two eyes staring at her miserably. Those eyes were bloodshot and glowing a terrible red.

Crookedly clutched his beating heart: "You, what kind of monster are you! I, I'm a dragon, the exorcist of the Dragon family." "Crookedly immediately learned and sold, and took out the title of the jade fox that he had just put on himself and bluffed people.

Sure enough, when the water spirit heard her say that she was a member of the dragon family, her eyes suddenly softened. I don't know how long later, a heavenly female voice sounded from the water, "You can be sent by Longqi to rescue our people?" The spirit's gaze drooped, looking so lonely, "She promised to come to rescue us." ”

"When, of course! I'm familiar with Long Qi. Crooked began to babble that she didn't want to be bitten by those fangs.

When the spirit heard this, he was overjoyed, and his body soared, and he got out of the water and jumped ashore. I saw that her body was fishtailed, her naked upper body was delicate and graceful, and her face had no fangs, and she became very beautiful. Look at her fishtail again, there is a three-inch-long wound, and the flesh opens like a terrifying mouth.

Glance at her, "What kind of monster are you, and how are you hurt?"

The spirit raised his hand to pull away the muddy hair in front of his face, and his eyes were full of sorrow: "I am a merman, and I have lived with my people in the South China Sea for generations. We live a quiet and peaceful life away from the world. It happened about 200 years ago when a group of people sailed the seas with a giant monster, which they called a ship, and the group stumbled upon one of our people and discovered the secret of our merman's tears. Since then, more and more people have come to the South Seas to hunt our people, imprison us, force us to weep, and then take those pearls out and sell them. ”

The merman sniffled and continued, "They also make our skins into clothes, and our grease into candles...... and the merman couldn't say any more, and began to choke.

Looking at her pitiful appearance and listening to her tragic experience, I couldn't help but be indignant: "Who is so deprived of conscience!"

"All the wealthy merchants of Hypo City, led by the lord of the city. ”

"The lord of the city is not a good man at first glance, and he is the one who imprisoned me. Crooked gritted his teeth, "When I go out, I will definitely settle accounts with him!"

"Why are you locked in?"

"What else do I want to ask? It's really strange, I've been locked up in Pear Blossom Valley for three years, and I came out for the first time today, and I just arrived in Hypo City!"

The merman was frustrated again: "It seems that you are also unable to protect yourself." ”

"If it weren't for the Jade Fox pit me, how could they have caught me. At the mention of this, Crooked became even more angry.

The merman began to cry, and the pure white pearls shone brightly and rolled to the ground. Shocked, his eyes were crooked, and he hurriedly leaned over to pick it, and when he picked it, he suddenly felt that there was a faint hair on his back, stopped moving, and looked up at the merman. The merman's eyes were full of anger: "It seems that everyone is the same, and they all see money." ”

As she shouted, the fangs appeared, glowing with a chilling glow.

Crooked hurriedly put the pearl next to her tail, and then quickly withdrew to the corner: "Don't get me wrong, I'm picking it up for you, what's the use of I want pearls, I don't want to eat roast chicken." ”

The merman withdrew his fangs: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. He smiled crookedly and looked at the wound on her tail: "Hey, you and I are both hard-working people, but you have to be strong and believe that you will always go out one day." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly said, "That's right! I almost forgot." She took out the jade bottle from her arms, and said to herself as she walked towards the merman: "The jade fox said that this lover's tears can cure injuries, and I don't know if it's true or not, that liar, a liar who cheats people!"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Okay, you actually scolded me, I'm leaving." ”

"Don't!" turned around sharply and looked at the jade fox who was holding his arms and smiling at him, almost bursting into tears.

The jade fox looked through the crooked, looked at the fish-tailed spirit behind the crooked body, and muttered: "Why is there still a merman in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion." ”

"You know us mermen?"

Crookedly pointed at the jade fox and pouted: "She's an old monster, she doesn't know anything." ”

"You're an old monster!" the jade fox twisted around, left a sentence, you stay here, and disappeared into the dungeon.

The crooked black eyes kept turning around, and when he couldn't find the jade fox again, the joy that had just risen in his heart instantly turned into ice: "Don't go!"

It's not ladylike to meet someone!

Crooked sat on the ground, a heart colder than this dungeon.

"You and I are both hard-working people, but you have to be strong and believe that you will always go out one day. The merman comforted her in turn.

Strange how this sounds so familiar. Raising his eyes crookedly to glance at her, the mermaid gave her a bleak smile.

Crooked reluctantly loosened his shoulders, opened the lid of the jade bottle and beckoned the merman to come over, telling her that this was a medicine to heal injuries. The merman pondered cautiously for a long time before flicking his tail over. Crooked tears dripped into the wound, and with a thud, a thick white gas rose, and the wound began to heal slowly from the inside out.

Both of them stared at the magical scene with wide eyes.

The merman said happily: "What kind of potion is this, it is so effective?"

Crooked regretted a little, knowing that this medicine was so good, so he didn't give it to her.

"Engong, dare to ask Engongzun's name!"

"Just call me crooked, what's your name?" she said weakly.

"My name is Ling. ”

Ling, silently reciting this word in her crooked mouth, her head began to become dizzy again, more and more heavy, she tried to pinch herself again, but before she could raise her hand, the whole person was black in front of her eyes, and fell to the ground.

"Crooked, crooked?" the call sounded like a distant wind blowing from the end of the sea, and Crooked tried to open her eyes, but no matter how hard she tried, it was to no avail.

The city lord and the city lord's wife appeared outside the prison door, the bright and gorgeous clothes and the dirty cage were really incompatible, and the four essences gathered on the crooked body, Mrs. Du laughed coldly: "Heh, the little girl is quite resistant, but she fell at this time." ”

Hearing the sound, the merman instantly jumped back into the water, instinctively hiding.

"It's late to-morrow, but early tomorrow morning, tie her up and escort her into the royal city. ”

"Everything listens to Madame. ”

The two of them walked away as they spoke.

Ling climbed out of the water again, looked at the girl who fell to the ground, and couldn't help but wonder: What kind of crime have you committed to be escorted into the royal city.

The girl's beautiful face was pressed against the sticky black floor, her closed eyes were curled with long eyelashes, and the eyeballs under her eyelids were rapidly rolling from side to side. Many unfamiliar images flashed in the girl's mind, and countless unfamiliar voices came from all directions, testing her fragile nerves.

"Go away, go away!" she screamed in her coma.

Ryoshi cleared a spot with her tail, swept away as much sewage and dirt as she could, and then moved the girl over, and lay herself prone at her side, sometimes squinting for a moment, sometimes looking at her.

In the second half of the night, Crooked woke up slowly, and Ling relayed the conversation between the city lord and his wife to Crooked, and Crooked couldn't understand: "I haven't committed a crime, could it be because I injured someone today? That's because the city lord asked them to arrest me, and I had to fight back." ”

Ling shook his head: "How can it be such a big sin to injure a person, it is usually a person who has committed a great crime before he will be sent to the royal city." ”

"What are you kidding?" exclaimed.
