The three-step method of raising mermaid

A certain fish and a certain bird had some indescribable activity in a certain house, and Yunhuang sat on the steps of the yard, hiding under the eaves, chewing the sympathy rice cakes she brought.

The tinkling sound in the room stopped, and after a while, the door was kicked open, Ren Que stepped out as if fleeing, raised his eyebrows in embarrassment after seeing Yunhuang, and changed to walking calmly.

A fish sprang out from the wide-open door, dazed, as if drinking wine, with its arms around Ren Que's waist, and some sticky screams came out of its throat.

He was courting, but because he didn't get it, he sang courting songs even more infatuatedly and resentfully.

"What is he singing?"

Yunhuang raised her head curiously, her eyes flicked back and forth between Ren Que and Chu Yu.

"Ask him yourself." Ren Que frowned, the fish was getting tighter and tighter, but it was quiet and softly pressed against his back.

"It's useless for you to know, and you don't have a partner." Chu Yu touched Ren Que from behind, and slowly raised his wet tail to prevent it from being contaminated with dust on the ground.

There was cunning in his eyes, and he rested his pointed chin on Ren Que's shoulder.

"Are you proud?" Yunhuang was so angry that she stood up and wanted to grab Chu Yu's tail.

Chu Yu walked around Ren Que, laughing sharply and thinly, extremely clear, making a squeaking sound.

The wind blows through the hall, the red tassels on the pear tree are like fire, new shoots emerge in the cold wind, the sun shines on the dark soil, and the family emblem of Luoshen Mansion is wrapped around the trunk.

There is a chess table under the tree, which is exactly the same as it was back then.

In the afternoon, Ren Que was called into the Floating World Corridor, and Chu Yu wanted to follow him there, but Ren Que refused.

The experience of coming to Baiyu Palace is not good every time. Apart from anxiety and resentment, Ren Que can't think of other emotions. He sits in front of the chessboard under the statue, holding the chess pieces in his hands, and his eyes are empty.

A jug of wine was suddenly placed in front of him, followed by an old wrinkled hand.

"Do you want to have a game?"

The man sat down with his robe lifted. He frowned, brushed the dust on the chessboard with his fingers, and grabbed a few chess pieces from the chess basket.

"Has everything on the South Bank of Ruoshui been resolved?" Ren Que asked.

"After you fell into a coma, Xihe and Jiuwei led people to conduct an investigation. The third prince of the Mermaid Clan confirmed that the Yajing was dead, so it's... a complete matter." Xia Heng pursed his lips lightly and explained.

"Xia Heng, Nan Ruo's distress signal back then was only sent to me?"

Ren Que planted a seed, which was slightly off, and Yu's hand felt warm, just like his voice.

"At least no one knows except you." Xia Heng laughed. He was old, and due to his racial characteristics, the life of Mayfly was far less than that of other monsters.

Ren Que was silent, and the sound of chess pieces being placed on the board was dull and rhythmic, like the slow drumbeat of a heartbeat.

For a long time, Ren Que seemed to have misunderstood Xia Heng. In Nan Ruo's first report back to the Floating World Corridor after his death, Ren Que vented his anger on Xia Heng for the delay in getting a response to the distress signal. Even meeting decades later is the same.

"Why don't you tell me the truth?"

Ren Que held the chess and surrounded Xia Heng's white chess.

If Xia Heng answered truthfully instead of hiding it, Ren Que probably wouldn't have hated the supervisor for many years.

"The truth is that Nan Ruo is dead, and it doesn't make sense to talk about the rest of the details." Xia Heng rebelled against the army, and he took a few chess pieces from Ren Que. "She doesn't want you to know, I just follow her last wish."

No matter how you explain it, you can't save your life. If Ren Que knew that the distress signal was only sent to him, with Ren Que's personality, he would probably blame himself to death, right?

"He is really a selfless and dedicated leader." Ren Que glanced at him, a little helpless and eccentric.

"To each other." Xia Heng showed an uncompromising smile.

"So, what about Ruoshui South Bank and Luoshen Mansion?" Ren Que asked again.

Xia Heng poured a glass of wine, the cup was exquisite, the mellow wine was beautiful in color, Ren Que took a sip, it was quite delicious.

"Chu Yu talked to me a few days ago."

Ren Que's face turned pale, thinking of the lively fish that tore the quilt on his bed during the day.

That's right, Chu Yu woke up more than a month earlier than him, so it's not uncommon for him to chat with Xia Heng.

"He said he would return the throne to his younger brother, join the supervisor, and live with you in Luoshen Mansion. In exchange, the mermaid clan will do business with the supervisor, and Chu Yu will take over the inheritance of Luoshen Mansion." Xia Heng said.

It took Ren Que a long time to speak. "Is that what he thought?"

"Of course, I never engage in forced transactions." Xia Heng poured another cup for Ren Que, plausibly speaking.

"Forget it, do you still do less forced buying and selling?" Ren Que sighed.

"It was Chu Yu who proposed the peace talks." Xia Heng's son just blocked all of Ren Que's escape routes: "How about it? Do you want to consider staying here with him?"

"When did you know Nan Ruo was a mermaid?"

Ren Que drank the wine in the wine cup, stood up slowly, and looked back at Xia Heng with a complicated expression.

"From the day she arrived at Luoshen Mansion." Xia Heng seemed to be remembering something, with a nostalgic look on his aged face, he looked at Ren Que and said softly.

The statue is solemn and solemn, the sun is shining everywhere, and the clouds in the sky are fine and distant.

"sorry."

After Ren Que said this, he walked out of the White Jade Palace.

Xia Heng stopped pouring the wine, and sat down in front of the chessboard, putting away the chess pieces one by one, and when he reached the last one, he pursed his thick lips with a hint of a smile.

"I have been a bad person for decades, so I can hear you say sorry."

The path leading to Luoshen Mansion was straight and slender. There was a fish wrapped around the statue of Luo Mi, and Chu Yu lay on the head of the statue, wrapping himself around the statue while holding the tip of his tail in his mouth.

When Ren Que came back from Baiyujing, he passed by a shop specializing in plum desserts. The young shopkeeper had familiar looks. He bought a bag of plum candies, which tasted familiar.

Chu Yu raised his head abruptly, narrowed his eyes, and after seeing Ren Que clearly, he waved his arms at him.

"elder brother!"

"Ah, Wangfushi."

Ren Que stood in front of the stone statue, Chu Yu didn't come down as usual, he hooked up the plastic bag in Ren Que's hand with his tail, pinched the tip of his tail, and took out a candy.

"plum?"

Chu Yu pushed aside the wrapping paper and saw the brown candy with little stars floating in his eyes. He threw the candy into his mouth, bit into half of it, puffed out one cheek, and looked at Ren Que happily.

"Is it delicious?" Ren Que asked.

Chu Yu nodded like a bird pecking at rice.

Ren Que smiled calmly. He carried the bag and walked into the mansion. As soon as he brushed shoulders with Chu Yu, Chu Yu grabbed his wrist

Chu Yu took out a candy from the bag, and stretched out his hand in the air, as if to give it to Ren Que.Ren Que raised his hand to pick it up, but Chu Yu let go of it, and the candy fell down.

Ren Que grabbed Tang, lowered his head slightly, and grabbed Tang.Before he straightened his back, he felt that Chu Yu was rubbing his ear tips, and his slightly cold lips pressed against his forehead.

A very light kiss, like comforting a child.

Ren Que's fingers trembled slightly, he raised his eyes, Chu Yu was like a blooming flower, full of satisfaction all over his body.

"Chu Yu will only leave Chu Yu's blessing to his brother." He said.

"Don't mention such things in peaceful days." Ren Que's eyelids twitched, and he pinched Chu Yu's face helplessly.

The grown-up mermaid is very heavy, Ren Que didn't bother to hug it, and Chu Yu didn't get off the statue, and looked at Ren Que earnestly with tender gazes from his long and narrow pupils.

"Father left the blessing to Yajing, Nanruo left the blessing to Chu Yu, and Chu Yu left the blessing to his elder brother." Chu Yu cocked his tail, and the plum candy was bitten into two by him, and the sour taste bloomed between his lips.

"Do you mermaids like to discuss things after death?"

Ren Que looked over suspiciously.

"Because I can't let go."

Chu Yu laughed, his tail curled around the stone statue, his upper body hung in the air, pressing on Ren Que's shoulder.Chu Yu circled his arms and rubbed against Ren Que's neck.

"If my brother's life is not good after Chu Yu's death, if my brother's new lover is a bad person, if my brother is in danger... I won't let him go."

"Don't dream, come down and walk by yourself." Ren Que didn't resist or obey, standing like a wooden stake, said calmly.

"Sure enough, it's easier to get my brother's favor in childhood than in adulthood." Chu Yu sighed, heartbroken, he slid down from the stone statue, jumped into Luo Haili, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ren Que knew that Chu Yu sank to the bottom of the water and did not go far at all.

Luohai surrounds Luoshen Mansion, which not only divides it into an independent area, but also has a cave directly leading to the cold spring in the back hall under the water.Chu Yu has been swimming in Luohai since he was a child. When he came back recently, before Ren Que woke up, Luohai became Chu Yu's toy.

Ren Que stared at the calm water, there was no wind in Luohai, and sometimes ripples bloomed from somewhere, he nodded, peeled a piece of sugar from the bag, and threw it towards the water's edge.

thump--

The mermaid came out of the water, opened her mouth and snatched away the falling candy.Chu Yu was lying on the shore, with one side of her cheek puffed out, lazily brushing away the weeds beside the stone-lined path, and raised her eyes aggrievedly.

Ren Que knelt in front of Chu Yu, pressed the back of Chu Yu's neck, and kissed her soothingly.

"Vinegar fish?" Ren Que said without ambiguity, rationally and coldly.

But these words always carried a bit of indulgence in Chu Yu's ears.

"Wow!"

Chu Yu let out a cry, returned to the water, and dived into the water, only his tail splashed the water cheerfully.

For dinner, Orpiment brought a table of vegetables to the table, and Chu Yu, who was desperately showing off small fish and shrimps, was lying on the raised water basin, and beside him sat the trembling Bai Ze.

Coincidentally, Bai Ze came to deliver the Wuzhutang announcement—the Wuzhutang Education Group sent invitation letters to Ren Que and Chu Yu respectively, one to invite the bird to come back as a teacher, and the other to invite the fish to go back to school.

It came just in time, Ren Que's teeth were itchy, and he remembered something again.

"Bai Ze, eat more." Ren Que kept picking up vegetables for Bai Ze. Bai Ze, who had just been ridiculed by Ren Que because of the plaque, was walking on thin ice. He held his job bowl and looked at the dishes on the plate in front of him. fear.

"There's a conspiracy?" Bai Ze shrank, Ren Que held a fried shrimp in his chopsticks, and before he put it into Bai Ze's bowl, he saw a fish opened its mouth and cut off its beard from the side.

Chu Yu chewed the shrimp meat, sticking his wet tail out of the water basin, and rubbed Ren Que's leg. "Why does brother serve food for others?"

"Let him eat enough to go on the road." Ren Que lowered his head coldly, and cast a glance at Chu Yu: "As for you, I will clean up later."

Chu Yu instantly understood. He stole a basin of sea shrimp, got out of the basin, and ran out the door.

This is a battlefield, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time.

Bai Ze didn't know what to do, and was still arguing with Ren Que.

"It's just a plaque, why do you care so much?" Bai Ze couldn't bear the sense of oppression emanating from Ren Que, and he went up against the case, filled with righteous indignation. "They're all adult monsters, what's the matter with doing something that is not suitable for young monsters? If you are angry, you can ask him to settle the score. It's kind of nice to pull me..."

"Bai Ze, why did Chu Yu break through my deal with Hu Shou?" Ren Que asked abruptly.

Bai Ze paused, finally knowing where Ren Que was waiting for him.

"Ask me?" Bai Ze stiffened his neck, curled his fingers, and stared at Ren Que stiffly.

"I will also ask about that fish, but I think asking you first will help me adjust my attitude towards Chu Yu." Ren Que glanced at him and said honestly.

Bai Ze thought for a while, leaned back on the chair, gave up and said, "Because Chu Yu couldn't accept it after Hushou confessed. He begged Hushou repeatedly, and finally turned to me."

"So you agreed to him?" Ren Que held his forehead.

"I just gave him a plan. It is not difficult to hinder the conclusion of the contract, but the pain is not something ordinary people can bear." Bai Ze sighed.

"Accomplice." Ren Que said two words coldly.

"Do you think I think so? I'm not sure if Chu Yu has recovered. He has been by your side in a young form. In addition, the contract you signed with Hushou is too complicated. It didn't take effect." Bai Ze knocked on the table and said seriously.

"That's also an accomplice." Ren Que turned his head away, as if he didn't want to talk to Bai Ze in detail.

"Later when you came to Xifantian, I saw that Chu Yu had recovered, but he threatened me not to tell me." Bai Ze said regretfully, "Don't blame brother for being unyielding, Chu Yu is stronger than you, and the matter is my fault." If you do it, you will always feel guilty..."

Ren Que looked out the window, the crescent moon was hidden among the clouds, the stars were sparse, and the shadow of a certain fish flickered on the eaves in the distance. Ren Que carefully distinguished it, and could still see his wagging tail.

"Indeed, with his current monster power, it is enough to suppress me." Ren Que withdrew his gaze and commented like this.

"Are you relieved to have a successor?" Bai Ze laughed, sipped his tea, and looked towards the sky.

"I am the one being bullied, why should I be happy?"

Ren Que sneered, but put the teacup aside and walked out.

Bai Ze was lying by the window, watching Ren Que walk to the eaves, Chu Yu, who was basking in the moon and eating shrimps, made a sound that seemed to be there, and the breeze swayed, Ren Que went up to the eaves.

"But I think you are still willing to give it to him to bully?"

Bai Ze smiled, drew a formation in place and left, his figure getting fainter and weaker.

Sitting on the eaves, Chu Yu was peeling shrimp for Ren Que.

He moved slowly, not too difficult, he ate the shells by himself, and the shrimp meat inside was accumulated in the bowl, forming a small mound.

Ren Que waited quietly, while the night breeze was gentle, carrying the unique cold and desolate smell of Luoshen Mansion.After a while, there was a mist on the sea, and the stars and the moon could not be seen.

After Chu Yu peeled the shrimp, he carefully sucked off the juice from his fingers, and holding a small bowl full of spoils, he handed it to Ren Que to show his courtesy.

"Will you give it all to me?" Ren Que joked as he took the small bowl.

Chu Yu leaned her head on Ren Que's shoulder, Xiao Yu Yiren, with her tail raised, rubbing against Ren Que's leg with a subtle frequency.

Ren Que ate the shrimp meat slowly, and as he ate, he found a pearl and a fish scale at the bottom of the bowl.

"..." Ren Que fished out the two mysterious gifts, and Chu Yu shyly screamed beside him.

"Is this a confession?" Ren Que smiled, teasing Chu Yu.

"It's just a surprise for my brother." Chu Yu said seriously, wringing her fingers. "I hope my brother will be happy after receiving it."

"I'm very happy, then what?" Ren Que raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Then tell Chu Yu a story tonight." Chu Yu Lai was on Ren Que's body, his voice jumping with joy, hiding a bit of mischief.

"Okay." Ren Que didn't pierce him, he took Chu Yu's hand and jumped into the yard, walking towards the bedroom.

The mist dissipated and the shadow of the moon was thick. Ren Que stopped in front of the court and suddenly looked back.

The pear tree is bathed in the cold moonlight, with thick branches extending outwards, and clusters of white pear blossoms bloom in the middle of the night, lighting up the courtyard in the shadow of the night.

The all-too-familiar cold scent of sea water wafted in the air, the red-tasseled spear was inserted obliquely under the tree, and the chain mail glowed softly.Someone was temporarily perched on a tree, swinging one leg lazily and comfortably.

Sensing Ren Que's gaze, she pushed aside the pear blossoms, revealing a pair of smiling eyes.
