The court upstart who fills the sea and builds dams?

It sounds inexplicably like the mermaid version of the love-hate relationship between the demolition brigade and the nail households.

Just looking at the humans who continued to dump waste into the sea in the video, He Heng's expression became serious.

"These are all carried out under the instruction of "I"?"

996: [Yes. 】

He Heng: ""

"In that case, how big is my official position?"

996: [In this world, you were born in a little cold. You were originally a poor scholar in a rural village in Mingcheng. The talents of Yuan, Huiyuan and Zhuangyuan won the appreciation of the emperor and were named third-rank local officials, and they were transferred to Mingcheng to supervise the local maritime projects. 】

[Okay, now that you understand the general background, we can prepare to go to this world. 】

After hearing 996's words, He Heng fell silent for a rare moment. Although this background introduction sounds fine at first glance, what he wore was not an imperial examination essay, but an out-and-out chasing wife crematorium script. The most critical part of the script should be the intersection between him and the little shark in this world.

But 996 completely avoided information about this aspect in the introduction just now, I'm afraid the plot in this world is not as simple as he thought.

Thinking of this, He Heng asked again: "What about the specific contents of the crematorium?"

996: [Don't worry, as the plot unfolds, you will know the follow-up content immediately. 】

Following its voice, the scene in front of He Heng also began to change rapidly.

At the moment when the whole person fell rapidly and lost weight, the surrounding temperature suddenly became cooler, and the breath of the sea breeze became more and more obvious.

Next second,

The scene in front of He Heng suddenly froze. He took a quick glance and found that he was standing on a rock in front of the dam under construction, and in front of him was the magnificent sea. The center of gravity was still a little unstable, and the whole person shook suddenly.

The moment he fell forward, a pair of hands grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back.

When He Heng looked back, he saw an old official wearing court uniform frowning and looking at him sadly.

"Master He He, you can take it easy, why are you standing in such a dangerous place? My heart is almost in my throat just now."

"If you get bumped somewhere, the eldest princess will not be able to bear us old bones when she asks you."

He Heng frowned subconsciously when he heard the words "Eldest Princess", because his rich experience in crematoriums in the past told him that such sudden supporting roles are often not that simple. These people are usually either his own exclusive hearse driver or Excellent assist for sending yourself to the crematorium

Sure enough, in the next second, a cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind,

[In this world, you have a marriage contract with the emperor's eldest daughter, and you are a veritable son-in-law. 】

He Heng: ""

The number one scholar who came from a poor family not only became the son-in-law of the eldest princess but also became a hot new nobleman in the court in just a few months, and was then appointed by the emperor to supervise important maritime projects. The elements are so complete that He Heng's scalp tingles.

Good guy, Chen Shimei is definitely second.

I'm afraid he won't be able to escape the reputation of this "heartless and heartless man".

In just a short moment just now, He Heng quickly went through these thoughts in his mind, but he only responded faintly on his face,

"Understood, you don't have to worry, I have a measure."

After finishing speaking, he calmly bent down and stroked the ashes on the hem of his clothes, controlling the demeanor of the powerful minister just right.

Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of the other party, he stepped onto the nearby dam with long legs, and walked back to the shore calmly.

The wet and salty sea breeze caressed He Heng's cheeks, blowing the hem of his scarlet court gown, and he walked forward under the respectful gaze of the accompanying officials.

But when he was halfway, the adjutant who had been following He Heng suddenly ran over with a look of urgency.

The moment he saw He Heng's figure, he leaped from the shore to the dam without hesitation, and ran up to He Heng, jumping and jumping all the way.

"Master He, just now when our ship was digging the waterway ahead, it suddenly encountered a resistance. It seemed that something was blocked in that piece of seaway, and now it is impossible to pass through. If our transport ship keeps blocking If it is impassable there, it is very likely that it will be stranded on the shore when the tide ebbs. That is our main transport ship for digging sea routes. Once it is stranded, the entire reclamation project will be paralyzed and cannot continue.”

"And if the maritime project is delayed for a long time, I'm afraid the imperial court will blame it."

Hearing this, He Heng looked along where his finger was, and saw that the sea area looked like an oil spill, it had been corroded black by the pollutants with strong adhesion,

He thought in his heart that it would be strange if it wasn't blocked.

"I see." He Heng replied lightly, and pointed to the accompanying ministers around him, "Go and see the situation with me."

"Yes, Mr. He." The ministers around him immediately nodded in response, and quickly followed behind him.

When He Heng came near the coast where the giant ship was moored, a suffocating rancid smell rushed over his face, forcing him to cover his mouth and nose with his cuff.

Looking at the scene in front of him that looked like a hell on earth, He Heng could almost see the original owner's selfish thoughts from it.

As the consort of the princess, he knew that being sent to supervise the maritime project was only a short-lived springboard on his way to promotion, and all he had to do was to complete the maritime project in the shortest possible time regardless of everything, and then go to Beijing to get married and get promoted. The fate of Mingcheng and this sea area has nothing to do with him.

Just when He Heng was stunned,

"Master He! Master He!"

The adjutant beside him suddenly pointed to a place under the oars and shouted:

"There seems to be something there, and it looks like a person!"

The adjutant's sudden shout suddenly pulled He Heng's mind back.

At this moment, a bad premonition suddenly rose in He Heng's heart, and his right eyelid jumped up "chug chug".

Because of the strong intuition in his heart, he hardly hesitated, and walked over in three steps at a time.

After seeing the scene under the oars clearly, He Heng's pupils suddenly constricted, and he felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a sharp object, and the pain was severe.

under the oars,

The little mermaid lay there lifelessly with his eyes closed, his fish tail was entangled by a sharp net rope, and it was covered with fine cut marks. The blood from the little mermaid's body mixed with the dirty black water together.

His upper body and fish tail were covered with deep and shallow wounds, and this scene deeply stimulated He Heng's visual nerves.

The palms hanging by his side subconsciously clenched into fists, and He Heng felt that he had never been so angry in his life.

For the first time, such a strong thought arose in his heart, if he could find the scum of the original owner, he would send him to hell at all costs.

At the same time, the mechanical sound sounded again:

[What you are seeing now is the protagonist Shou Qiao Ran. In this world, mermaids are extremely rare beasts. It is rumored that their tears can fulfill a simple wish of human beings. Benefits, healing all diseases and even bringing the dead back to life, and the reason why the original owner was able to rise to the top is not only due to his own ability]

[Because his grandfather once risked his life to rescue the trapped little mermaid on the reef out of pity for his life in extremely bad weather, so his grandfather will die soon after being seriously ill At this moment, the little merman wanted to repay his kindness with his tears, but the greedy original owner took all of this as an opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune. He used tricks to steal the merman's eyes, and by means of this, made his way to his current position . 】

This time, the system finally finished telling the complete story of this world.

[And Qiao Ran has lost his eyes now, he can't see your face, but because of the small world task rules, if he hears your voice, he will remember your identity as the "original owner". He recovered his eyesight, and in his eyes, your appearance is that of the original owner. 】

He Heng didn't want to care about the irregularities of the mission rules anymore, he just walked quickly to the shore and leaned over to check on Qiao Ran's condition.

At this moment, the adjutant at the side said: "Master He, what should we do with this? I'll find someone to drag it away?"

In the next second, he felt a frost-like gaze cast towards him.

Under everyone's shocked eyes, He Heng pulled out the dagger he carried with him and cut off the net ropes wrapped around the mermaid's tail. He hugged the mermaid up regardless of the oil in the pool, and then shouted sharply:

"Go and find the doctor."

The adjutant looked at his brand new official uniform that was stained with oil, and froze in place for a moment.

"Can't you hear the words?" At this time, He Heng was already walking towards the residential area on the shore with the shark in his arms.

"I said, send someone to find a doctor!"

"Oh, yes!"

The moment the adjutant came back to his senses, he ran to the barracks stationed aside, looking for the doctor.

He Heng carried the Yuren to an empty private house. On the way here, he could clearly feel the scorching temperature of the person in his arms, as well as the faint sound of breathing.

Qiao Ran's face still looked so familiar, but at this moment, his eyes were tightly closed, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face, and his almost transparent long eyelashes were trembling uncontrollably.

After entering the room, He Heng immediately ordered someone to fill the bathtub with warm water.

Immediately, he carried Xiao Yuren into the bath together, and carefully helped him clean the wound on his body.

It seemed that it was because of the pain, the fish tail couldn't help trembling the moment the little shark was carried into the bath by him. Although Qiao Ran was still in a coma, he was struggling hard. His pale thin lips were trembling, and his whole body was trembling constantly.

"It's okay, just bear with it for a while." Even though He Heng knew that the other party didn't have a clear consciousness at this time, but seeing Xiao Yuren's uncomfortable appearance, he could only keep coaxing softly:

"It won't hurt anymore"

"Good, just bear with it."

I don't know if he could sense the other party's emotions, but Qiao Ran really calmed down after hearing his words, and nestled in his arms motionless.

He Heng hugged him in the bathtub to soak the clean gauze, and then used the wet cloth to wash off the filth left on the other person's body due to the waste water little by little.

"No~"

The little shark seemed to be suffering, so he uttered another babble in a coma, flicked his big tail twice, and splashed water on He Heng's face.

He Heng reached out and wiped the water on his face, and continued to help the other party clean up the wound with a wet cloth.

After cleaning the merman's wound, he took a thick blanket to wrap him tightly, and then carried him to the bed.

At this time, the adjutant was already waiting in the house with the doctor.

The doctor briefly checked Qiao Ran's condition, and prescribed a bunch of medicines for reducing fever and healing wounds, both internally and externally.

The old servant Uncle Wang who followed He Heng immediately ordered his servants to take the pharmacy and go outside the house to decoct the medicine.

And He Heng stood by the other side's bed, watching the doctor help him deal with the trauma on his body bit by bit.

After the doctor treated Qiao Ran's trauma, He Heng found that the scales on the mermaid's tail began to fade away little by little, and finally transformed into a pair of legs that were no different from ordinary people.

Not long after, a servant came in with the fried medicine.

Uncle Wang thought that it would be enough for the servants to do the job of feeding the medicine, but when he was about to ask He Heng to change into clean clothes first, he saw that the other party had already picked up the medicine bowl, and handed the medicine juice to him spoonful by spoonful. The other side's lips.

Qiao Ran seemed very uncooperative, the crown of the teeth was firmly closed when the medicine was fed to the side of the mouth, even if the medicine juice was fed, most of it would be spit out.

He Heng tossed and tossed for a long time, and finally made his clothes full of medicine juice. The original brand new official uniform now looks wrinkled.

But he still coaxed the other party to drink the medicine very patiently, without any sign of impatience.

Seeing this, the accompanying old servant couldn't stand it any longer, and couldn't help persuading him: "Master He, you've been tired all day, why don't you go and have a rest, let the old servant do these things."

"Need not."

He Heng shook his head, tasted a spoonful of concoction in his hand, and then wiped the corners of Qiao Ran's mouth carefully with a handkerchief.

"You go down first, I'll do it myself."

"Yes, Master He."

The old servant sighed softly, put a set of clean clothes on the bedside table, and said to He Heng:

"Master He, your clothes are soaked through. I'll put clean clothes here for you. Remember to change into your clothes later, so don't catch the cold."

"Understood." He Heng glanced lightly at the clothes on the cabinet, and instructed:

"You ask someone outside to make some light food, warm it up, and if he wakes up, let someone bring it in."

"Yes." The old servant nodded in response, and then bowed his body and exited the room.

He only followed He Heng after he became an official in the court, and he had heard a little about "He Heng"'s previous deeds.

Some people say that today's son-in-law, who is receiving the grace of God, has a heartless and ungrateful temperament, and he climbed to his current position by resorting to shady means.

But he thought to himself that today's son-in-law's behavior doesn't seem to be compatible with the word "feeling and ungrateful".

Seeing how he cared about the merman, he could not wait to treat him wholeheartedly.

The old entourage has seen countless people in his life, and he sometimes sees people as wrong, but he always believes in one truth, that is, there is no such thing as "the prodigal son returns without money" in this world. Never expect a person who has hurt you to change his past .

People can make mistakes, but they cannot make mistakes of principle.

Just looking at the scene in front of him, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for He Heng to do such a thing as exchanging merman's eyes for wealth and fame.

And in the house, after feeding the shark medicine, the sky had already darkened.

He Heng took off his wet suit and changed into the clean clothes brought to him by the old servant.

He touched Qiao Ran's forehead and found that the other person's fever still hadn't subsided. He was afraid that his condition would recur at night, so he didn't dare to just leave him alone like this.

So He Heng lay down on the bed with all his clothes on. He carefully avoided the wound on Xiao Yuren's body, hugged Xiao Yuren into his arms, and fell asleep peacefully after listening to the sound of his breathing gradually calming down.

Qiao Ran felt like he had a very long dream. In the dream, he was trapped in an out-of-control corridor that could not end no matter how he walked. He was exhausted and exhausted, but he still couldn't escape.

In despair, his consciousness slowly came to his senses.

The wound on his body was still aching, but there was a pair of arms gently resting on his back, and he seemed to be lying in someone's arms.

Qiao Ran couldn't open his eyes to see the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, but he could vaguely feel the warm and strong embrace of the other person, and a faint sandalwood fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.

This feeling of being hugged by the other party is so familiar and reassuring, but he can't remember when he has experienced this scene anyway.

At this moment, Qiao Ran felt that the memory in his mind was intermittent, as if an important fragment was missing, and his brain hurt badly after thinking about it for a while.

In the end, he fell asleep in a trance of consciousness.

And when Qiao Ran woke up again, the bed beside her was empty, and there was no trace of anyone lying on it.

His fever seems to have receded, but his whole body is still a little weak.

When Qiao Ran was struggling to get up from the bed, an old and kind female voice sounded beside her,

"Are you awake? Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

Hearing other people's voices, he immediately shrank back to the corner vigilantly. The painful experience in the past made him very wary of human beings.

"who are you?"

The moment he opened his mouth to ask, he suddenly realized that even though he had been asleep for a long time, his voice hadn't become hoarse, and he didn't even feel uncomfortable at all. It seemed that someone had fed him water when he was sleepy.

Then Qiao Ran subconsciously reached out to touch it, only to find that she had been changed into clean clothes at some point, and all the wounds on her body had been treated.

"You can call me Aunt Li, I live in the room next door."

Seeing his vigilant expression, the old woman didn't continue the topic just now, but slowly introduced her identity.

In fact, she is not an aborigine here at all, but one of the accompanying servants who follow He Heng.

This morning, after He Heng confirmed that the other party's fever had subsided, he had to leave due to government affairs, so he asked Aunt Li to bring a few servants to the house to take care of the little shark.

And before leaving, He Heng specifically told her that once Qiao Ran asked who saved him, she should tell him that she didn't know, and never reveal a word about her identity.

Aunt Li couldn't figure out the reason for this, but since this was what He Heng told her to do, she just did it.

Sure enough, as the other party expected, the next second, Xiao Yuren asked "Who saved him".

Although the memory of the previous period of half-dream and half-awake was very vague, Qiao Ran could still clearly perceive that the person holding him should be a man.

"I don't know about that either." Aunt Li sighed, "I heard movement outside the house in the morning, so I came out to take a look, and saw you lying unconscious in this room, and there was no sign of anyone else."

Hearing this, Qiao Ran lowered her head and said nothing, wondering what was on her mind.

The bed under him felt clean and tidy, and there was still a warm fire in the room. In the morning, the other party was obviously sleeping next to him, so how could there be no one?

Seeing that the little shark didn't speak, Aunt Li brought out the porridge from the lunch box and put it on the table in front of Qiao Ran, "I made some porridge here, and you are not in good shape yet, so you can only eat some light food. Let's drink hot."

Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and thought for a while,

Now he is just a useless blind man who can't run anywhere, and the original way back to the sea has been blocked by the transport ship.

A merman without eyes has no use value in the eyes of humans. The scales on his body are no more valuable than those ordinary fish scales. If the other party wants to plot against him, there is no need to wait for him to wake up.

After thinking for a while, Qiao Ran groped to the table and drank the bowl of porridge.

The temperature of the porridge entrance is just right, neither cold nor hot, and the rice grains are cooked so badly that it melts in the mouth.

Qiao Ran drank two bowls in one go, Aunt Li saw that he seemed really hungry, and asked him if he wanted more?

Hearing this, Qiao Ran pushed the porridge bowl forward, shook her head, and said "Thank you, no need" to her again.

He lived so big that he never saw through a creature like human beings.

The fisherman who risked his life to get him out of the reef when he was 14 years old was human, and the fisherman who blinded him for his own selfish desires when he was 20 years old was also human.

It's not that Qiao Ran didn't have hatred in his heart, on the contrary, he hated that person to the core, but he didn't want to inexplicably transfer the hatred in his heart to others.

And Aunt Li noticed that the moment the little shark opened his mouth to thank him, he blinked.

It turns out that sharks have eyes, but the eyeballs look gray and lifeless.

Only then did she recall the folk rumor that after the mermaids lost their eyes, they could still grow the shape of eyeballs again, but the regrown eyes were like useless decorations, they could neither see nor lose what they had before. Such a miraculous effect.

After meeting the shark's unfocused eyes, Aunt Li came back to her senses, and said to Qiao Ran:

"I'll go back now and come back at night."

"If you have something to do, don't bother, just tell me."

Qiao Ran nodded slightly, thanked Aunt Li again, but still wondered in her heart who saved him.

For some reason, this old woman always gave him the feeling of being entrusted by others

These days, Aunt Li would come to see him on time every day with food and clothing, three times a day, even more punctual than a rooster crowing earlier.

Of course, Qiao Ran felt that it was not an option to go on like this, so she asked Aunt Li to find a job for herself, and asked the other party to inform her of the movements by the sea.

As soon as the stranded transport was out of the bay, he was ready to find a way back.

Aunt Li was also a straightforward person, and according to her words, she found several large bundles of bamboo sticks for him, and taught him some simple weaving work.

So Qiao Ran finished weaving these bamboos every day and took them to the market to sell.

In the beginning, Aunt Li helped him sell them, but every time the other party came back, she would tell him that they were sold out, and then give him a pile of silver taels and daily necessities. After a long time, Qiao Ran became suspicious.

What kind of town is it that crowds of people come to buy such ugly weaving crafts every day?

As for "ugliness", Qiao Ran guessed it. Although he is blind, he is not stupid. He is sure that the things he made up will not look good.

So after a week of selling out the woven goods, he finally couldn't bear it and went to the market with the basketful of ugly things in person.

Unexpectedly, the people here were very friendly to him, as if they wanted to take care of him as if they were their own children, they helped him carry things and made way for him, for fear that he would bump into him.

"Simple folk customs" can explain people's kindness, but it cannot explain their weird behavior of "serving themselves like the emperor".

Moreover, Qiao Ran found that as soon as he sat down to set up a stall in the market, the weaving crafts he put out would be sold out in less than a cup of tea, and people were always willing to stuff them into his basket. money.

Qiao Ran was a carefree and happy little mermaid when he was in the sea, but even at that time, he never enjoyed the treatment of "making money out of nothing".

With the determination to explore to the end, when setting up a stall one day, he put a basket full of silver taels on the stall, and he sneaked to the back mountain, planning to come back in half an hour to have a look.

Qiao Ran couldn't believe it. A basket of silver was so brightly placed in the middle of the road. When he went back, the money would not decrease but increase?

However, just as he stepped into the back mountain, he heard a strong voice behind him,

"Brother, we have finally caught a single person going down the mountain today."

The man spoke with a strong local accent, and even though Qiao Ran didn't quite understand him, he probably guessed that he might have encountered bandits

In fact, Qiao Ran's guess was indeed right. Standing in front of him were the three bandit brothers from Wangjiazhai. Today, the three of them rarely went down the mountain to catch a blind man who was alone. The three of them couldn't help being in a good mood. When all the money on the other party's body was searched out or Qiao Ran was sold to Cheng Jin,

"Boom!" With a loud noise, a man with short eyes slammed into their backs.

"Which bastard who walks without long eyes dares to provoke your grandfather and me?"

The three Wang brothers looked back angrily, only to see a tall man in a majestic official uniform standing behind them.

Just looking at the other party's handsome and refined appearance and this glittering official uniform, He Heng has become a walking self-service cash machine in their eyes.

And He Heng was taken aback after seeing the three bandits and Qiao beside them.

He was originally dealing with government affairs in the government office, and it happened to be lunch break after half of the processing. As usual, He Heng was going to take a walk around Xiaoyuren's stall and "investigate the local people's sentiments" by the way, but he walked halfway. The adjutant rushed to report that Qiao Ran had disappeared, as if he had gone to Houshan.

He Heng was speechless immediately, and he immediately sent people to look for it separately, but the funny thing was that he got separated from the people while walking in the back mountain.

He Heng, who lost his way, cursed bad luck in his heart, and then he circled the back mountain like a headless chicken, until he bumped into these bandits with a "boom"
