Fish mermaid

Jiang Lin lay down on the ground disheveled, looked at the black fish with his arms folded in front of him on the left, and felt ashamed and embarrassed, so he stood up and blamed him: "There is no reason to pull people to the ground ?”

Ah Yu raised one leg and said, "Then...kick into the ditch?"

Jiang Lin hurriedly clutched his ass and jumped two steps to stare at him: "You are harming your benefactor, you will be punished by God!"

Ah Yu tilted his head, as if thinking about it, then sighed, stretched out his hand and pulled him up: "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Lin hoarsely grinned and raised his side and said, "Of course I'm here to make money. What? If you can do it, I can't do it?"

A Yu didn't answer, just bent down and picked up his dropped sandbag and walked forward. Jiang Lin followed behind him, holding his breath and muttering helplessly to him: "You will grab me for a copper coin." ..."

A Yu, who was dressed in black and covered his face in the still hot weather, should obviously look funny.But in Jiang Lin's eyes, the slightly bent broad back stood upright.

Jiang Lin followed a few steps, lowered his voice and asked, "Hey, don't you have those spells that make things fly all over the sky? Why don't you use them?"

"God damn it."

"Huh?" Jiang Lin was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Haha, I won't be fooled by you again."

Ah Yu didn't answer him, and after a long time, he said "um", lifted the sandbag on his shoulder, and walked a few steps to throw him away.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and Jiang Lin stood behind him, not knowing what to say.The monster around him was originally a slippery and cold carp spirit, but at this moment it was more like a carp ice, and he couldn't even hear the few words that were originally few.

Jiang Lin gritted his teeth, turned his head and unloaded the sandbags that the person behind him had just carried on his shoulders, said "there are still a lot over there", turned around and shouted "wait for me", and chased after him.

"It really can't be used indiscriminately? Then why can it be used for housework? You were punished by the gods because you were struck by lightning? Will it break through the roof of my house? What do you mean if you don't speak? You acquiesce? Hey...wait for me !"

After working for a long time, Jiang Lin's whole body was falling apart, and finally got a dozen or so money from the accountant.When he looked up, Ah Yu had another heavy brocade bag in his hand.

"It's only at this time that I really believe that you are a monster." Jiang Lin pulled the sweat-soaked skirt, fanned the wind with his hands, and looked at the tightly wrapped Ayu with a sigh of disbelief.

Ah Yu handed him the brocade bag, "Here you are."

Jiang Lin quickly pushed and said, "How can I spend the money you earned so hard? I still keep the money you got back before, so you should take it back and use it yourself."

A Yu pushed the bag into his arms again, and said, "I'll buy it from you."

"What?" Jiang Lin lost his mind by this nonsensical sentence. Seeing that he didn't answer, he had to ask again: "What to buy?"

"Cylinder."

His whole body was covered tightly, except for his eyes, which looked directly at Jiang Lin, as if this was a matter of course.Jiang Lin was stunned for a while before he realized it, and blushed and shouted: "Fool, do you think that broken vat is made of real money?"

A Yu was silent for a while, and then said: "There are always some things in this world that are more precious than real gold and silver." He stretched out his hand, Jiang Lin just thought he was about to do something, and shrank his neck suddenly, never thinking Ah Yu just patted the top of his head lightly.

He only thought that Ah Yu was talking about the broken tank at home, and he was so gently appeased, that he knew that what Ah Yu was talking about was his own - the comfortable little world where he settled down and established a career and displayed his grand plans.

This ideal of life, whether it is grand and magnificent or insignificant, what cannot be achieved is often just a lack of support.The road that was originally hesitating and difficult, suddenly became clear at the moment when there was that sentence and a person.

"It's obviously just a fish..." Jiang Lin felt a little embarrassed, raised his arm and beat him on the heart with his elbow, "I'll let you speak all the majestic words."

A Yu only paused for a moment, and then seemed to let out a soft "huh".

This was the first time Jiang Lin heard his laughter. Although it sounded like a big breath, the vivid emotions there were real.

"Are you just... were you laughing?"

"Let's go back."

"Did you just laugh?"

"You are noisy."

"The one just now, you must have laughed, right?"

"..."

At night, Jiang Lin coaxed Hui Bao to sleep, humming an uninspired nursery rhyme, but actually coaxed herself to sleep first.He fell into a drowsy sleep, only to be woken up by Hui Bao: "Daddy, Daddy, big fish, big fish..."

Jiang Lin wiped his saliva, patted his head, and murmured: "Well... I'll eat braised pork tomorrow..." Halfway through his words, he narrowed his eyes in a daze, only to see the floating A piece of clothes to go out.

Jiang Lin immediately got 12 points of energy, and crawled to the window to look around, Huibao also lay beside him, the others were not high enough for the window sill, so he had to shout childishly: "Big fish~ big fish~"

Jiang Lin quickly covered his mouth, put up his index finger and let out a "shh", then touched his chin, and said, "Daddy, go out and have a look, Huibao sleeps first, okay?"

Hui Bao asked him to cover his mouth, blinked his big black eyes, and nodded.

Jiang Lin hugged him and put him to sleep before going out.As soon as I left the house, I suddenly lost my head and didn't know where to follow.After thinking hard for a while, I remembered that there is a fairy lake in the back mountain where the mountain streams converge. Probably only there can be the place for A Yu.

Speeding up his pace, with a hundred thousand points of curiosity, Jiang Lin rushed in the direction of the back mountain.

The quiet mountain forest on weekdays reveals a slightly eerie atmosphere at night.The pale moonlight shines through the layers of leaves, casting mottled shadows.Listening to the neighing of unknown beasts echoing in the valleys, and walking on the mountain trails that he knew by heart on weekdays, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Jiang Lin's forehead.

After only one more turn, the eyes suddenly opened up.Under the moonlight, which is as warm as water, a pool of brimming lake water makes people sway with the waves of light incessantly.

Jiang Lin was only wearing a piece of unlined clothing. The cool breeze on the lake made him tremble, so he had to hold his arms tightly and walked towards the lake, calling tentatively, "Ayu... ...A fish?"

He only yelled twice, and the cool wind directly poured into his stomach from his open mouth, choking him so that he took a few steps back suddenly.Jiang Lin had no choice but to beat his chest hard, squatted down and lay down on the edge of the lake, stretched out his hand to touch the surface of the water, and called out in a low voice like a soul: "A Yu?"

On the smooth and undulating surface of the lake, only his own reflection was reflected, and there was no other movement at all.Jiang Lin sighed, muttered "I'm not here" and got up.

Before he finished speaking, a black figure quickly appeared under the water, and his wrist was suddenly grabbed by something that broke out of the water.Jiang Lin was almost terrified, shouted "Oh my god" and was about to throw the thing away, but at this moment, he heard "that thing" whispered familiarly: "It's me."

Jiang Lin took a closer look, and the "thing" that grabbed his wrist was clearly what he was looking for in the middle of the night.Only A Yu's shoulders were exposed above the water, his long hair was sticking wetly to the back of his head, his face against the moonlight was a little hard to see clearly, but the numb and indifferent expression was clear.

Jiang Lin shook off A Yu's hand angrily, and said, "It's fun to be scary, isn't it?"

Ah Yu was not annoyed, and just asked him in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"

"I... I'm here to see... I'm here to take a shower." Jiang Lin opened his clothes abruptly, and stripped naked, "I sweat so much during the day, of course I have to take a good bath. will be happy."

After all, it was autumn, and he just felt the temperature of the water with his hands, and felt the cold to his bones.Now pretending to be a hero and going down to take a bath, just thinking about it makes me want to die.Thinking of this, Jiang Lin couldn't help shivering in the cold wind.

A Yu raised his head and looked at him for a while, before answering: "That's right."

What he said sounded like an answer, but more like questioning and disdain.Jiang Lin was irritated by these words, and looked down at him with his head held high and his chest akimbo, and said, "Of course, if you don't give way to me, I will go down to take a bath soon."

Ah Yu slowly swam to the side and looked at him silently.Jiang Lin got a little hairy from his stare, squatted down, stretched out his hand to check the temperature of the water, and then withdrew his hand suddenly: "Wow... this water..."

"Um?"

"This water is really... perfect for bathing! It's exciting enough!" Jiang Lin could almost hear the sound of knocking out his front teeth and swallowing, but he had no choice but to step in with one leg under A Yu's gaze.

The bone-chilling chill that quickly spread up from the soles of his feet made his lower body numb almost instantly. When half of his body was submerged in the water, he almost felt his teeth chattering, and even his lips were cold, but still He did not forget to turn his head and say to A Yu: "It's really... really... so... so refreshing!"

A Yu didn't respond to him, just looked at him for a while, then dived into the water, the water splashed, turned up a big tail fin, and patted Jiang Lin's face firmly in the cold lake water.

"Ah... so cold... Bah bah bah, you bastard! You treat your benefactor so well! You will be punished by the gods sooner or later!" Jiang Lin stretched out his hand to wipe his face, but it only made his cheeks more wet.

He cursed and wanted to climb up to the bank, but he didn't expect that there was a slope under his feet, and when one became unstable, he fell into the water.Jiang Lin's water skills are not very good, and he choked on a few more sips of water in a hurry, so he could only splash around: "Ah, Ayu! Ayu!"

While shouting, he drank a lot of water, and now his whole body began to sink to the bottom of the water.This time Jiang Lin really panicked, he kicked around in a hurry, gradually lost his strength, and sank even faster.

When he was pulled up by the armpit, Jiang Lin didn't even have a clear consciousness. He only felt that the body close to him was warm and powerful, and he unconsciously pressed a little closer.

That body seemed to emit a steady stream of heat, and even the surrounding cold lake water began to warm up.Like a baby in a mother's womb, Jiang Lin opened his eyes underwater——

The warm and powerful chest that is close to his back; the long black hair that seems to melt in the water, almost wrapping around him, but caressing his cheek; the lower body is The slender and beautiful fish tail is constantly swaying and swaying.

Such a beautiful person.I really want to hold my body tightly in my arms.

Jiang Lin was thinking like this, when he was suddenly pulled out of the water, a large gust of cold air poured into his lungs again, and the strange warmth just now disappeared immediately.

Under the moonlight, in front of him was still a carp spirit covered with scales on an expressionless face.Immediately, a burst of inexplicable complex emotions surged in Jiang Lin's heart, and he choked himself again as soon as he inhaled, turned around and coughed loudly.Ah Yu couldn't help reaching out to help him pat his back, but Jiang Lin who was lying on the shore waved his hand away immediately.

"Cough cough...I...cough cough...I'm going back first..." Jiang Lin climbed ashore on all hands and feet, and put on his clothes in a mess.

"Yeah." Ah Yu nodded, and added in a low voice after a long time, "Be careful."

It was clearly not touching words, but just listening to the voice, Jiang Lin felt that his back was numb, so he nodded vigorously with red ears, and strode away with hands and feet.

After turning a corner, Jiang Lin sneakily turned around and lay down behind the stone to look back, only to see A Yu lazily leaning against a large bluestone under the bright moonlight, with her long hair scattered on the water. Rippling with the water waves, the tail fin surfaced from time to time, beating the water gently.

He must have lost his mind to find this picture so beautiful.It was obviously just an ugly carp spirit, but it actually made him feel strange throbbing for a moment.Maybe this is just a bad dream, and when he wakes up tomorrow morning, he won't remember anything.

That night, Jiang Lin really had a dream.

It was still the same fairy lake under the moonlight, and he was still squatting beside the lake to shake the water.

Under the calm mirror-like surface of the lake, a dark shadow floated indistinctly.

It's just that the black shadow is getting bigger and bigger, and it keeps swimming at the bottom of the lake, but it doesn't come up anyway.

Impatiently, he started calling "A Yu A Yu" again.

Then the lake surface suddenly emitted a whole piece of golden light, and then there was a huge mourning sound that covered the sky and covered the earth.That sound was hardly like that of any animal he knew, and it was full of extreme mourning and pain.

It seemed to be in great pain, so painful that I was about to die, but I couldn't get rid of it.Such a strong appeal, weeping, and grief.like, like...

"Wake up, hey, wake up."

Jiang Lin opened his eyes in a daze, but felt a burning pain on his cheek. He raised his hand to touch it for some unknown reason, then got up from the bed suddenly, and pushed away the slap Pa La slapped A Yu who slapped him across the face.

"What are you doing? It hurts!" Jiang Lin covered his red and swollen face, and stared fiercely at the instigator who seemed calm.

"You moved around suddenly, and you kept calling me," A Yu said word by word, "It seems that you have entered a magic barrier."

"Demon... What is the devil?" Jiang Lin couldn't help being a little ashamed when he heard him say that he still called him, and said louder: "It's just a nightmare, haven't you even had a nightmare?"

Ah Yu seemed to be stopped by his question, he just stared at him for a while, and then said: "What is that?"

"Then... what is that..." Jiang Lin was also asked so that he lost his mind, and racked his brains to think of words: "Just, just... think about it every day, dream about it at night... the dream is also good. ...Nightmare is like someone you care about very much, if you dream of something happened to him..."

It wasn't until he got the words out that he realized he was almost acknowledging that he "cared" about the fish.Fortunately, Ah Yu didn't hear the implication, just shook his head and said, "I haven't."

"What?" Jiang Lin was full of annoyance at what he said just now, and subconsciously asked back when he heard such a nonsensical sentence.

"I haven't had a dream, nor have I cared about anyone." A Yu said flatly, "So I haven't."

Jiang Lin opened his mouth, but didn't know what to answer.Obviously he shouldn't be disappointed, but he was still a little frustrated, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder in the end.

He is just a fish, as long as he can swim in the water, eat food when he sees it, and hide when he encounters natural enemies, even if he becomes a monster through cultivation, how can he know these human feelings.From this point of view, there is nothing to be envious of those mana illusions, monsters who can't even dream, are really not as free and easy as a mortal like him.

So should he treat this fish who doesn't even know what dreams are, or better?

(section 4)

After a while, the money earned by Ah Yu from doing part-time jobs, together with Jiang Lin's savings, has almost covered the rent.The whole two puns are heavy in the palm of your hand.Before going out, Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant again. He swayed for a long time, until he was kicked out of the door by A Yu, and then the boss reluctantly walked over to Mr. Han's house.

At the door, Jiang Lin was led in after being notified by his servants.Han Mansion is not spacious, but it is exquisite and meticulous.Inside the white walls and black tiles, there are rockery and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, and there are lush exotic flowers and plants. Just walking along the winding corridors, the garden seems to suddenly grow several times larger.I heard that the Han family is still a big family that can be traced to the blood of the emperor. From this point of view, it is not all rumors.

Before Jiang Lin arrived in the front hall, he heard hearty laughter and intermittent conversations.When he got closer, he saw the person sitting in the upper seat.Jing Rong was still dressed in a pale gown, tall and tall, it was hard not to attract attention.

"Mr. Jing is a dignified man, a handsome man, how could he be willing to settle in such a small place?"

"Master Han praised you, but it's just..."

Jing Rong was about to answer with a smile, and looked at Jiang Lin in passing, and immediately stood up in great joy: "Brother Jiang!"

The affection he called made Jiang Lin feel embarrassed, he faltered and called "Big Brother" and didn't know what to say.On the contrary, Master Han said in surprise: "Mr. Jing and Doctor Jiang are still brothers?"

Jing Rong put his arms around Jiang Lin's shoulders affectionately, and said, "Brother Jiang and I fell in love with each other, so we became brothers with different surnames." Then he couldn't help but annoyed, "It's just that he hasn't come to see me since he became an elder brother. Yes, it troubles me so much."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Lin couldn't help feeling extremely guilty, and just about to explain, Jing Rong said, "Fortunately, I'm going to settle down in Zhendong, and it will be much more convenient to travel in the future."

Jiang Lin felt a piece of his heart drop, he just stammered and asked: "Zhen, Zhendong..."

"It's Master Han's land in the east of the town, and I asked me to buy it." Jing Rong said with a smile, "Renovate the old house above it, and move in in a few days."

"This..." Jiang Lin suddenly felt a little dark in front of his eyes, and couldn't laugh or cry, so he grinned reluctantly and said, "Haha, that, that's really great."

He hadn't settled on the matter of the hospital for a long time, and Master Han met Jing Rong, a master who was so generous, no one knew what to do.However, he has been working on this matter for so long, and now it is in vain, of course he is not happy.

Especially thinking of A Yu's hard work every day, the copper coins that were hung on his waist, and the sandbags exchanged for one after another, Jiang Lin felt more and more uncomfortable, and unconsciously even his brows were furrowed.

Master Han saw that his expression was not good, so he said: "I thought that Doctor Jiang didn't respond for so long, so he didn't want to rent that piece of land... That's why he agreed to Mr. Jing. It took half a day..."

"That's what it should be." Jiang Lin sighed, "It's just that I'm too slow, so I can't blame you for being old."

Jing Rong stood aside and stood quietly with his hands down. Only then did he hear the reason and said, "Your brother also wants to rent that piece of land? Then I..."

Jiang Lin hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, it's rare that my elder brother likes to live here permanently. How can I win love? It doesn't matter where the medical clinic is located, it doesn't matter at all."

Jing Rong was even more surprised when he heard what he said, and said, "Your brother wants to open a medical clinic? Then it's all the more for me to part with it. The medical clinic is a great achievement for accumulating yin and virtue, how can I use it as a pawnshop?" What about ordinary houses?"

The two made some concessions, and Master Han who was standing aside said at this time: "In my opinion, it's better to use the front hall as a medical clinic for Dr. Jiang, and Mr. Jing to live in the backyard. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Jiang Lin thought for a moment, then waved his hands, "It really isn't right to disturb elder brother Qingyou like this."

Jing Rong clapped his hands and said with a smile, "What's the matter? In this way, we really became a family." Seeing that Jiang Lin was still hesitating, he cocked his eyes and said angrily, "Your brother still despises me." Brother, you don’t want to get along with brother?”

In desperation, Jiang Lin also forgot to go back and forth with him politely, and hurriedly shouted: "There is no such thing! It's just, it's just me..."

It's just that there is a fish in my family who forbids me to accept your things again. If he knows that I not only have contacts with you, but also make brothers with different surnames with you, I'm afraid my family will be flooded with water tonight.Jiang Lin held back his words, opened his mouth wide and looked at Jing Rong, but couldn't utter a single word.

"Just what?" Jing Rong looked at him and sighed again, "Sure enough, brother Jiang Xian still despises..."

He was good-looking, and he was a pampered noble son. At this moment, he showed a cute and pitiful expression like a wounded little animal, which made people feel guilty and couldn't refuse.Jiang Lin was cruel, and said, "No, why don't I go back today, let me think about it..."

Before he said a word "good", Jing Rong immediately put his shoulders on his shoulders with a smile, and said with a hearty smile, "Okay, okay, tomorrow morning, I will tidy up the front hall for my younger brother."

Gu Zi was so enthusiastic, Jiang Lin was neither advancing nor retreating, so he laughed awkwardly "haha".

Before Jiang Lin entered the door, he saw Hui Bao leaning on the door frame and looking towards the intersection from a distance. As soon as he saw him, the little guy staggered towards him with his calves.Seeing that the little ball-like thing was about to fall, Jiang Lin quickly ran a few steps and hugged him into his arms, and said with a smile, "Why is Hui Bao so obedient today, knowing to wait for Daddy to come back?"

Hui Bao looked up at him, and said in a childish voice, "Daddy is back, come back."

Jiang Lin smiled and tapped his forehead, "You little foodie." He picked up his son, stepped into the house, looked around, didn't look at A Yu's figure, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved secretly.

The table was lined up with some of his and Hui Bao's favorite side dishes, I don't know if A Yu made them to celebrate for him.Jiang Lin's heart warmed up, but he became anxious again.

Wait, wait a minute, that crippled and ugly fish is not someone of his, so there is no need to report everything, it is his personal freedom to get along with someone and be under the same roof with someone Well.

Even though it was ringing in his heart, Jiang Lin couldn't help shaking when he remembered the knock on the door.

Reluctantly, his boss slowly moved over and opened the door, only to see Jing Rong's calm smiling face, "My dear brother."

Before Jing Rong could take back his smile, the door closed with a bang in front of him.

Jiang Lin leaned against the door and panted heavily. He must have been dazzled at that moment to see that troublesome face.Jiang Lin took his breath seriously for a long time, and then opened the door again. Sure enough, there was no one at the door.Jiang Lin smiled "haha" and patted his chest, but when he heard a "brother" from behind, he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

Jing Rong stood behind him, with one hand behind his back, and the other stretched out to pull him, saying, "I saw my brother panicked, so I came in through the backyard door, are you alright?"

Jiang Lin asked him to pull him up, but vaguely remembered that the door to the backyard was locked before he left in the morning. Could it be that Jing Rong knew how to penetrate the wall and escape from the ground?This is much more chic than that A Yu who can only cook and splash water!

"I, I'm fine, it's just why the eldest brother came here on purpose..."

"Look at you silly boy," Jing Rong put the two pennies of money on his desk with a smile, "The person left, but the money left with him."

Only then did Jiang Lin touch his waist, and found that he had really lost the heavy two pennies. He was so careless that he really wanted to find a hole in the ground and go down.He hurriedly took Yiguan money and handed it to Jing Rong, "This is the rent money I advanced to elder brother."

Jing Rong was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Your brother really doesn't regard me as his own family anymore."

"what?"

"My brother, there is no reason to rent and collect rent." Jing Rong's tone became serious, "If this gets out, everyone will laugh at me for being harsh on my brothers."

"As the so-called brother settles accounts..." Jiang Lin really couldn't think of any more words to argue with him, so he could only yell: "If the truth is spread, shouldn't everyone laugh at me for taking advantage of elder brother? !"

When Jing Rong heard this, he smiled instead, and his long and narrow eyebrows suddenly became a little seductive, and he approached him softly: "As long as you are willing, so what?"

Jiang Lin took two steps back, momentarily at a loss for words.At this moment, the door of the room that had been partially hidden was pushed open with a "squeak", and A Yu, who had covered herself tightly, entered in response, holding two pots of flower carvings in her hand.

Jing Rong maintained the posture of approaching Jiang Lin, turned his head and narrowed his eyes to look at A Yu for a while, then smiled and said, "Who is this?"

Jiang Lin hurriedly ran to A Yu's side, concealing his embarrassment, and scolded: "He, he is my servant. You are really, I told you to buy a little wine, and it took you so long to come back. This You don’t want to take your monthly salary again?!”

Ah Yu only looked straight at Jing Rong, and Jing Rong also looked back at him with a smile.

Jiang Lin was afraid that something big would happen to this monster-unidentified creature, so he quickly pushed A Yu's shoulder, "Why don't you go out for a walk first, and I'll..."

"Old bastard, you're here." A Yu stared at Jing Rong and said slowly.
