moonlit night

"Brother Li, when did you change your career to be a pimp? How many times have I told you that I don't need a matchmaker."

Sitting at the only dining table at home, Chu He said angrily to the man across from him: "Please do me a favor and let me go. As far as my family is concerned, don't harm other girls."

"You can't say that," Brother Li took a sip of thick tea slowly, "You're a big boy, you've been in the team for a while, you've done a good job, and you're the best looking in our village. Besides, you usually go out early and late Gui, doesn’t Ah Xiang need someone to take care of him? There still needs to be a woman in this house.”

Chu He turned his head and glanced at Ah Xiang, who was playing alone, and hardened his heart: "She is not young, she can take care of herself."

Brother Li sighed, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly changed his expression, and said seriously: "Chuhe, tell me the truth, do you have someone you like?"

Chuhe subconsciously wanted to refute, but he heard the other party continue: "Don't just try to deceive me, are you from Haili?"

How did he know?

Chuhe froze for a moment, and quickly recalled the scene of meeting Shu in his mind, thinking that it was safe and no one should find out.

"There is no impenetrable wall in this world." Brother Li smoked his dry pipe, "Fortunately, you broke it in time, otherwise if the higher-ups find out, there will be no good fruit to eat."

Chuhe was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "No wonder you always ask me to go on missions in the middle of the month, no, when did you know?"

"It's not important." Brother Li knocked on the table, and also whispered: "Did he give you anything? If so, throw it away, or find a way to sell it, buy some property, and then find a decent girl to live. This is the right way, don't worry about those useless things all day long."

Chuhe lowered his head and stopped talking.

He admitted that what Brother Li said was reasonable, and he also knew that the other party was doing it for his own good, but...

If the throbbing on the tip of my heart could really stop so easily, would there still be so many idiots and resentful women in the world?

The past two months have passed by, and the Chuhe Qi has long since dissipated. Every night, the longing rushes in like a torrent of mountains and seas, and it has intensified in recent days.

He almost desperately wants to see Shu, wishing that it will be the night of the full moon soon.

Besides, the momentary bewilderment in the sea was not fake, he still wanted to find out what was the relationship between himself and the so-called dragon god.

Thinking of this, Chuhe immediately raised his head, wanting to ask Brother Li to give him a vacation next month, but before he could speak, there was a loud knock on the door, the voice was heavy and urgent, Disturbing.

Chu He got up to open the door, but before he reached the door, a group of policemen in official uniforms broke in immediately, the leader glanced at Chu He, pointed to the room and ordered loudly: "Search for me."

Ah Xiang was taken aback, and burst into tears with a "wow".

Chuhe knew that it was useless to stop him, so he could only frown and said: "As a policeman but trespassing on a private house, do you want to try yourselves?"

"Trespassing?" The leader swept the dilapidated furniture around with great contempt, took out a piece of paper from his arms and threw it on Chuhe's face, and said disdainfully, "Look what this is? It was stolen from the palace a few days ago." Someone reported a batch of jewels, and I saw similar ones in your home. The Holy Majesty personally approved the search warrant, Captain Li, everyone is working for the Holy Majesty, you can’t cover up sinners.”

"Yes, yes, you can't cover up, catch the head high, and speak up if you have something to say," Li Ge gave Chuhe a hand, motioning him not to speak, then walked forward with a smile, and quickly stuffed the head catcher into his hand. Ingot Yinzi said in a low voice: "Xiao Chu has always behaved very well. It is impossible for him to do such a thing. There must be a misunderstanding. You must enforce the law impartially and give him justice."

While talking, a policeman found a package of things from the box and cabinet, and then presented it respectfully to the head catcher. The head catcher Gao opened it with a sneer, and found that there were some fine jewelry and jade inside, and he couldn't help saying proudly: " Can anyone explain what this is? Huh? Little thief, do you still dare to say that you are innocent?"

Chuhe took a look at the jewels, but he didn't panic, he just said calmly: "These are the dowry I bought for my sister, please take a good look at the headhunters, I bought each piece from the jade shop with my own money Yes, there is a certificate on it, if the head catcher doesn't believe it, you can check it yourself."

Gao Catcher's face turned from red to blue in an instant, and he hurriedly lowered his head to check the store's voucher.

Brother Li turned his head and glanced at Chuhe in surprise, his hanging heart fell back into his stomach instantly, and he secretly said: "I really have you, I don't need to teach you, you move very fast."

Chuhe lowered his head and smiled, and secretly replied: "After all, green comes from blue."

He knew that the things given to him were good, but they were not safe, so every time on the second day after they were given to him, he would go to the jewelry store in the city to exchange for less conspicuous jade, so that he could feel more at ease.

They all thought that they had passed the test, but who knew, after the inspection, the high catcher had no intention of leaving. He pointed his chin at Brother Li and signaled to the people next to him.

The arresters understood what he meant, and immediately rushed up to hold Chuhe and the two respectively. Two of the arresters held Li Ge's arms, and the other lifted a stool, aimed at Li Ge's right leg, and smashed hard. up.

"Kacha", there was the sound of bones breaking in the air, and Brother Li screamed, almost fainting from the pain.

"Brother Li!!"

Chu He only felt that the stool hit his leg, and his eyes were about to burst in an instant. He tried desperately to break free from the shackles. Seeing that he could not restrain him, the two guards beside him hurriedly dragged Chu He to the table and held him down. He slammed his head on the table a few times.

There was blood winding down his forehead, and in a trance, Chuhe vaguely saw a pair of boots standing in front of him. The owner of the boots bent down, picked up Chuhe's collar like a chicken, and threatened word by word: " It's best not to play tricks on me, otherwise, he will not only have a broken leg. And that little girl is born beautiful, if sold to the kiln, it will be enough for the brothers to have a good time, "

After the threat was over, Catcher Gao softened his tone, changed his face to be business-like, and whispered to Chuhe: "We are also following orders, boy, don't hate me, please, don't refuse, please."

Time seemed to pass by, and it was the first day of the next month in a blink of an eye. At night, dark clouds overwhelmed the top, Shu stopped not far from the sea, raised his head, and looked at the gloomy night in the sky for a while.

Today is the first day of the new moon, and the moon is like a curved belt. At this moment, it is covered by dark clouds, and it is even more indescribably bleak.

At this moment, the spiritual power of the Shui tribe is at its weakest, and it is even difficult to maintain the human form for a long time. Usually, Shu would never allow the tribe to go ashore at this time, but...

He confirmed again and again that the news that day did come from Bai Hailuo. Although Chuhe likes to talk about donkey carts on weekdays, he probably wouldn't joke about such things.

What's more, Shu really has a lot to say to Chuhe now, and also wants to hear his explanation, about trust, guilt, everything about Dragon God, and that ambiguous kiss that night.

When he was on the bottom of the sea, he hesitated again and again, but now that he was about to go out to sea, Shu became more calm, but before things really became clear, he still had to be extra cautious. He went upstream slowly, and stopped quietly when he was less than a few inches from the sea surface, carefully Feel the position of the white conch.

The conch should be very close, so Shu swam a little further and saw a small boat above. There were some fine fishing nets in the water below the boat. They were motionless, as if they were diving extremely deep. scene.

Shu intuitively felt that there was something strange about those fishing nets, but he didn't think about it at the moment. He leaned closer to the boat, gently grabbed the side of the boat and looked up, and saw a person on the boat who was half sitting and half lying down, still wearing the clothes they used to wear when they met before. The straw hat was turned upside down on his face, breathing evenly, and he was probably taking a nap. Just like that, he still held a big white conch tightly in his hand.

Shu laughed silently, then jumped onto the boat very lightly, walked to Chuhe, bent down and gently took the broken straw hat off his face.

However, at this moment, a sudden change happened!

Under the straw hat was a strange face, the man gave Shu a sly smile, suddenly pulled out a gun from under his body with lightning speed, and slashed straight at Shu's face!

The two were very close to each other before, even though they reacted extremely quickly and managed to dodge close to the edge of the blade, they still couldn't avoid cutting off a strand of long hair by the steel blade.The hair ribbon broke suddenly in the wind blown by the long knife, and in an instant, Shu Shu jumped back a long way, finally stood on the bow of the boat, and shouted coldly at the man: "Why is this thing in Your Excellency's hands? Where is the original owner?"

The man failed in one blow, but he was not busy chasing after him. He silently looked at him for a few moments, and suddenly laughed and said, "It's right behind you."

Shu intuitively felt that he was cheating, so he hurriedly avoided to the side, during which time he subconsciously looked behind, even if he had been prepared, his heart sank.

Not only at the rear, but around the entire boat, there are huge fishing nets that break through the water quickly from below, and only the part that rises above the water is several feet high. There is no flaw, and the small boat of Shu and that leaf is firmly wrapped in it.

There was a "plop" sound from behind, Shu turned his head to look, and found that the previous person jumped into the sea with a plop, and just abandoned the boat and fled.

He just scraped the last exit and escaped. He turned around and thoughtfully blocked the only gap.

In the blink of an eye, Shu mobilized the spiritual power in his body to the extreme, his figure turned into an afterimage, and quickly grabbed the opponent, breaking a small hole in the tough and fine net. He grabbed the corner of his coat and pulled it back.

Shu asked anxiously, "Where is he?!"

"Your Excellency Chu is a great hero, so I'm guessing he'll be waiting on the dragon boat to drink the congratulatory wine from the Holy Majesty," the man said with a self-deprecating smile, "It's a pity that we little people work hard for others every day. , I still have to risk my life here.”

Before the words were finished, the sound of "swish, swish" piercing the air came from my ears, and densely packed feather arrows flew out of the string in the air, shooting wildly towards the small boat in the middle of the ocean.

Shu shorted his body and dodged, fell straight to the ground, tightly stuck to the deck, and let the feathered arrows pass by above, but the man in front of him was not so lucky. He lowered his head, a layer of bluish-black lifelessness quickly covered his face, and he remained motionless.

There was poison on the arrow.

A few thoughts flashed through Shu's mind, he simply gritted his teeth, and planned to use his last bit of spiritual power to escape by turning into a small fish, but when this thought came out, he suddenly felt that his body began to twitch. Soft, even consciousness, is a little fuzzy.

It seems that not only the arrow was poisoned, but even all the objects on that person's body had been coated with hallucinogenic drugs early on.

There are poisonous arrows flying around in the sky, surrounded by a fine fishing net made of unbreakable material, and the net is still being pulled upwards, and his spiritual power is about to be exhausted, and he can't even make a decent transformation .

Could it be that it is really at the end of the mountain?

At some point, the dense rain of arrows above gradually stopped, and Shu was still crouching on the deck, feeling that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. He barely stood up while holding the side of the boat, and found that there was a splendid dragon boat in front of him.

The boat was a hundred feet high, standing on the deserted sea at the moment, like a sea monster with gorgeous fur, maybe it was because the lights were off earlier, and some kind of formation was used to cover up its tracks. its existence.

The boat was full of excitement. There were many people holding torches standing on the bow, staring at it as if they were watching something strange. The young man in the lead couldn't hide his pride. He should be the tyrannical human Holy Majesty.

The boat was swaying, followed by the fishing net, and soon landed on the spacious deck of the dragon boat. Through the fishing net, it looked at the young saint for a moment, cupped his hands, and said calmly: "I'm so troublesome! It is really flattering for the nobles to mobilize so many teachers."

His appearance at the moment can be said to be very embarrassing, but the lingering elegance around him is still intact, and the brilliant blond hair is shining brightly under the night, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off.

The Holy Majesty tilted his head, looked at Shu from the beginning to the end, suddenly smiled, and clapped his hands: "I have heard that all the mermaids are very beautiful. I saw them today, and they really deserve their reputation. In my opinion, Xiaoyu, Don't go back, just stay with me."
