Chapter 60: Broken Promise

Surprise, stunned, sorrowful, forbearance......

He held his breath and stroked his hand toward the water.

The moment his dry fingers touched the water, he stirred up small ripples, and he immediately withdrew his hand in a hurry.

When she saw Nanzhu's figure in the water, Winter Sakura's movements stopped, and the sea water seemed to have been spelled for a moment, and she remained silent.

It's like a sleek and huge mirror.

It reflects the entire heavenly dome, as well as the shadow of Nanzhu.

The layer of black qi that covered her pupils burst, and Winter Sakura's eyes returned to their previous blue crystal.

She plunged into the water and hugged Nanzhu, crying with joy: "I knew you wouldn't leave me, they were all lying to me." ”

However, all she embraced was a ball of air without substance.

Winter Sakura was stunned, staring blankly at her empty arms, "Nanzhu, where are you?" ”

The corners of the figure in the water rose up, and the eyes looking at the winter cherry blossoms were slightly curved into the arc of the crescent, and the doting and loving eyes were the same.

Tears trickled down her eyes to break the figure in the water, and Winter Sakura hurriedly wiped her tears.

The voice was full of crying, like a little girl doing something wrong, and humbly lowered her head, "I will obediently listen to you in the future, and I will not fight with my clansmen, and I will never play tricks on the fishermen on the shore again." She whispered, "Can you ...... Can you come out and hug me. ”

"Winter Sakura."

An ethereal and crisp female voice blows on the sea, like a cool sea breeze blowing slowly in the hot sunset.

Winter Sakura nodded immediately, and the fierceness in her eyes disappeared.

"I'm sorry to break my promise."

"No, no, you didn't break your promise! You've always been there! Winter Sakura looked sad, covered her eyes and shook her head, tears flowing from her fingers, as if she understood something but couldn't believe it.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe ......"

"Listen to me." Her voice was soft, as if a gust of wind could blow it away, and Fuyuzakura stopped and nodded seriously.

"On the day you took me back to the tribe, I was dead."

Winter Sakura was stunned and remembered that day.

"Nanzhu, where are we going?"

At that time, a group of mermen who were in control of the victory went to crusade against the Terrans and wanted to save their own people, but they didn't expect it to be a backwater.

Nanzhu didn't rush up because of her sudden coma, but she didn't expect to escape because of this.

"Where do you want to go?" Her voice was soft, like seaweed floating in the water, without a trace of strength.

At this time, Winter Sakura found out that the scales on her body were broken.

She couldn't help but skip a beat in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Otherwise, let's go back to the merman clan." ”

I thought she would ask something, but what I didn't expect was that she just calmly responded, "Okay." ”

Later, Nanzhu went to see Zhang Yuanqing for the last time, and then followed her back to the group, and Nanzhu was in a coma several times along the way, but Dong Ying carried her on her back.

Recalling this, the familiar memories seemed to be like bubbles, poked open violently, revealing another scene.

"Nanzhu wake up, wake up...... We're almost there. ”

Her flowing black hair fluttered in the water, and her figure resembled a butterfly spreading its wings in the sea.

Nanzhu looked at her blankly, and she said, "I can't accompany you anymore." ”

Her eyes became darker and darker, and there was no trace of anger in her eyes, no matter how much she screamed and shook her arms.

Winter Sakura panicked, crying as she desperately took her hand and swam in the direction of her clansmen.

However, the clenched hand gradually became cold.

Later, she returned to the clan alone.

Thinking of everything, the winter cherry blossoms looked at the Nanzhu on the water.

In an instant, the reflection in the sea wrapped in the sea water and turned into a human form and hugged her tightly.

"What has always been with you is your obsession. I know you hate the Terrans and want to avenge me, but you know, I don't want to see you hurt more than that. ”

"Put it down, Winter Sakura, I'm really going to say goodbye to you this time." Nanzhu was angry, and it took the last bit of strength to say the words.

"I hope that in the next life, we can still be best friends."

Then, she slowly looked at Zhang Yuanqing and nodded, revealing a gentle and relieved smile.

Nanzhu's body slipped from the embrace of Winter Sakura in an instant, "Don't go!" Winter Sakura hugged the water stain tightly, but the moment she embraced, it spread out and turned into countless droplets.

"Woo...... Don't go, don't go! Winter Sakura covered her face and couldn't stop sobbing, like an abandoned child, and could only watch her leave.

Zhao Yuanling lowered his head, stretched out his hand and patted her on the back and whispered to reassure.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't be so willful."

She shouldn't have persuaded her to follow her to the Terrans, and she shouldn't have been angry with her.

Dongying knows that the reason why Nanzhu stands on the side of the clan every time is to protect herself. Even though he knows everything, he still stubbornly loses his temper with her.

On countless nights when the moon is shining, the two mermaids always snuggle up to each other on the reef on the shore and talk about the world.

They talked and laughed, and never had any trouble.

Now, she's the only one left.

Winter Sakura's face seemed to be devoid of tears, her heart continued to sink, falling to the end, and the feeling of sadness and depression to the extreme completely dissipated, leaving only numbness.

It turns out that the heart that is extremely sad will not hurt.

She was silent for a moment, then slowly stabbed her five fingers into her heart.

Just when Zhao Yuanling wanted to try her best to stop it, her words made her stop moving.

"Only my shark beads can reset the sea."

A blood hole appeared in Winter Sakura's chest, and blood gushed out of it.

The blood-red shark beads glow with orange-yellow light, like a tiny sun.

She held the mermaid above her head and whispered an incomprehensible incantation.

In an instant, the sea receded quickly and visibly.

The surviving fishermen all smiled with joy on their faces as the water gradually dissipated.

The sea water is fading little by little, and the glowing shark beads are also losing their color little by little.

Finally, it is covered in a hazy gray layer and turns into an inconspicuous bead.

After doing all this, Fuyuzakura's body softened, and she plunged headlong into the water, without saying goodbye to anyone, and just disappeared into the sea.

Zhao Yuanling looked at everything that had returned to calm in a daze, and his face was stunned. "What will happen if the merman loses the merman?"

"I won't live long." Mo Bai withdrew his gaze and jumped onto the boat.

They rowed the boat to the shore, and the surviving people cheered, and after a moment fell silent again.

Grief creeps in the silence.

The sea is like a giant beast, opening its mouth wide and swallowing everything around it. When it was spit out, only the remains remained.

All that was swept away was a piece of ruin, sparsely standing in place.

The sea washes away all evil, including their loved ones.

"Woo woo, I want Daddy, I want Daddy." The little girl who escaped was crying at the top of her throat, and the women on the side hid their faces and wept bitterly.

"It's heaven's punishment, it's heaven's punishment!"

Except for children, no one dared to cry bitterly, and everyone was immersed in silent grief.

"Sister Beauty!"

In the distance, there was a simple call from Ximen Zhong, Zhao Yuanling turned around, only to find that he had a lot of officers and soldiers with him, in addition to a man who was seven points similar to his prime minister, and a powerful man stood behind him.

It was the city lord of Lianyun City, Ximen Yun.

Ximenyun instructed his subordinates to settle the surviving fishermen, and then sealed off everything around them.

Zhao Yuanling just hurriedly fought with them, and then took Zhang Yuanqing back to the temple.

At this time, Zhang Yuanji was not taken away by Ximen Zhong, but was grounded in the temple, and when he heard that his younger brother Zhang Yuanqing was back, he hurriedly came to the front of the hall.

"Yuan Qing! What did you do to my brother? Zhang Yuanji rushed over with an arrow step, and when he saw the blood hole in his chest, he couldn't help but break down and cry.

Zhang Yuanqing's face was already pale, and now he looked more like a dead man.

He smiled apologetically, his voice weak, "Brother, it's none of their business, I did it myself." ”

"I just gave back what wasn't my own."

Zhang Yuanji was stunned and couldn't say a word, and then lowered his eyes a little in confusion, looking guilty and self-blaming.

He couldn't tell what he was feeling at this time, and maybe he had expected this day.

He hung his head, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Let's go in first." ”

Entering the chamber, Zhang Yuanji asked the servant woman to boil the medicine, and then realized something and waved his hand.

"I didn't mean to hurt you." He said.

"I know, my brother is also for my good."

After the storm, the light sprinkled in the sky, and the gentleness and relief of Zhang Yuanqing's eyebrows and eyes made him feel like a fish in his throat.

The reason why he let his younger brother Zhang Yuanqing drink decoction for a long time was not only to make him feel better, but also to protect him.

It's not once or twice that he's looking for death.

Zhang Yuanji had no choice but to come up with this method.

Mo Bai, who had not spoken, spoke up at this time, "Have you ever seen the black-robed Taoist priest who came to your house before?" ”

"Black-robed Taoist priest......" Zhang Yuanji lowered his head and thought about it, only then did he remember who he was talking about.

He knew that it was the Taoist priest who allowed his brother to be born unharmed.

He shook his head, "Not again." ”

When my mother was about to give birth when she was pregnant, a Taoist priest in a black robe came to the door, came in and asked for a bowl of water to drink, pointed to his mother's big belly and said, "This is a stillborn baby." ”

He was so angry that he immediately drove them out with a stick.

Later, he overheard their conversation.

Zhang Yuanji knew that the little boy who stayed in his house turned out to be not a human being, but a priceless spirit.

The mother caressed her belly and cared for her in every possible way, not believing what the Taoist priest said.

However, Zhang Yuanji believed it, because the doctor who diagnosed his mother also said that it might be a stillbirth.

Zhang Yuanji thought, if the matter of his spirit is exposed, will he be able to have money to treat his mother's illness, and his unborn brother will get better?
