He was grabbed by something on his right shoulder, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a claw the size of a palm.

He couldn't see the whole picture of that thing, thinking it was the legendary Dragon King. Just as he was thinking about how to escape, the claw that was gripping his shoulder suddenly released.

He fell to the bottom of the river at great speed, and everywhere he looked, there were fish and shrimp swimming. When he landed at the bottom of the river, a cat appeared. It first circled around him, and then turned into a cute little girl.

The little girl was dressed in black, and her skin seemed to be transparent under the reflection of the river. He stared at the little girl and asked, "You are the legendary Dragon King?" ”

The little girl gave him a roll of the eye and sat cross-legged on the ground: "Which cat have you ever seen that lives in water?" ”

Liu Hanshan pointed at her, and the little girl stood up suddenly.

"I'm a cat, a cat with a lot of magic, and I was asked by Miss Nan to protect you. I thought you were a county magistrate, and you were more or less a smart person, but how did you know that you were so stupid that you dared to pretend to be a bride and jump into the water without knowing anything. Thanks to Miss Nan for giving me this water-repelling pill. ”

The cat demon threw the small bead in his hand: "Don't worry, I sent a signal to Miss Nan before I came down, and she will come to save us." ”

For some reason, hearing Nan Jinyi's name, Liu Hanshan believed the cat demon's words, he lifted his robe and sat down with her.

The bottom of the river was different from what they had imagined, not pitch black, but somewhat bright. In addition to the fish and shrimp, there are also some human wastes piled up in the river, such as iron pots that are not used at home, chopsticks that have been broken in half, and bowls that have missing horns.

The little fish weave through the waste, making it their own playground.

They waited and waited at the bottom of the river, but did not wait for Nan Jinyi, but waited for a big general in tattered armor.

He crouched beside the still stream of water and glanced at them, wielded the broadsword in his hand, and used the current to carry them ashore. On the riverbank, Nan Jinyi frowned and looked at the wet brocade shoes, and said to the general: "Thank you!" ”

The general stood in the river and didn't move, until the cat demon dragged Liu Hanshan's clothes and dragged him ashore, and then he spoke: "If the girl can't save me, then kill me!" ”

As he spoke, he closed his eyes without hesitation.

Nan Jinyi closed the red umbrella in his hand, looked at the general and said, "You are neither a human nor a ghost, neither a monster nor a monster, I can't kill you." ”

The general opened his eyes, looked down, looked at himself immersed in water, and said with a wry smile: "I've become like this, aren't I still a ghost?" ”

"Not counting!" Nan Jinyi shook his head: "You devoured the monster with a mortal body, and it is said that you will become a half-human and half-demon monster, but your willpower is too strong, and you actually sealed the monster in your body with your own body without relying on any charms." For hundreds of years, in order to suppress the demonic energy in your body, you have fed on the resentment in this river, and no one can trap it except you. ”

"It's not that you can't kill me, but you can't kill me." The general's eyes were red: "I understand, I am a container right now, a container that imprisons those things." But girl, if this container of mine is gone, what will happen to this world? ”

"It's not going to be there." Nan Jinyi stared at his eyes: "You will gradually be eroded by those demon qi, and when you become a part of the monster, the demon hunter with powerful mana will come to capture you, and when that time comes, you can be truly liberated." ”

"How much longer?" The general covered his heart: "Is there a way for the girl to speed up this process?" ”

"Yes!" Nan Jinyi said: "Do evil." ”

The general shook his head and said, "Forget it, I promised her that I would never be a wicked person in my life." ”

With that, he lowered his head and sank into the river.

Without waiting for the river to calm down, the cat demon jumped in front of Nan Jinyi, pointed to the river and said, "Who is that person?" ”

Nan Jinyi glanced at Liu Hanshan and said, "Long Qi, that is, the Dragon King who was offered to the Dragon King Temple by the people here. ”

"The one who got the kiss?"

"Yes, but not all." Nan Jinyi explained: "He did not marry voluntarily, but was forced to marry. ”

Six hundred years ago, Dongze Village was just a small fishing village with no name, and the people living in this village made a living by fishing on the river.

Long Qi, as his name suggests, is the seventh in the family, and he is also the most honest among the seven children. He was busy on the river all year round, but he barely made ends meet for his family.

It's not that there is anything wrong with Long Qi's technique of fishing, but that he doesn't know how to be flexible. This other person fishes, regardless of the big fish or small fish, and puts it in the frame one by one. Big fish sell big fish at the price of big fish, and small fish sell at the price of small fish, as long as someone gives money. As for Long Qi, he only catches fish with just the right amount. In his words, old fish are not tasty, and it is better to let them stay in the river freely than to catch them and make them into unpalatable meals. Although the small fish taste good, there is not much meat on them, so instead of making a bowl of soup from a few fish, it is better to let them live and let them grow longer.

Because of these principles of Long Qi, their family has become the most difficult life in the whole village, and his wife often has conflicts with him because of his fish release.

Every time two people quarrel, the good-tempered Long Qi always coaxes his wife, but his wife thinks that he is incapable and thinks that he is inferior and does not look like a man. That day, because Long Qi released the red carp he had newly caught behind his wife's back, his wife went back to her parents' house in a rage.

Because it was late at the time of the quarrel, and his wife Niu insisted on going back to her parents' house, Long Qi was worried that his wife would be angry and did not dare to stop him. He stood in the door with his head down, and waited for his wife Niu to go away before locking the door and following him. Although he walked quickly, he did not see the shadow of his wife until he walked to his mother-in-law's house, and his wife Niu never went back at all.

He walked up and down the road several times, but did not find the shadow of his wife Niu, and when he dragged his tired body back home, he found a lamp on in the house, and his wife Niushi was sitting under the lamp to help him sew clothes. Seeing him enter the house, she said in a gentle tone that she had never had: "Xianggong, are you back?" ”

Long Qi was surprised and happy to see his wife, he didn't notice the difference between her at all, he happily hugged his wife and asked her where she had gone all night. His wife told Long Qi that she hadn't gone anywhere, she just sat by the river and blew the wind. Seeing this, Long Qi didn't continue to ask, and when he saw that his wife's eyes were red from sewing and mending clothes, he urged her to rest quickly.

The husband and wife slept together, and his wife uncharacteristically hugged him tightly, buried her head in his armpit and whispered: "I used to be bad because I didn't seriously think about what you said." Don't worry, no matter what you do in the future, I will support you. Xianggong, I promise, I won't quarrel with you again in the future. ”

Long Qi's heart softened, and he hugged his wife with his backhand, and a faint fishy smell came to his face, but he didn't think about his wife.
