Pretend to die

Chapter 39 The Mermaid

Several days passed after the calm days. One day and night, there was a sudden sharp and long howl in the distance, followed by thunderous footsteps. Then, the weapons intersected, the soldiers roared, and the stumps and hot blood scattered on the ground. The land is filled with mourning.

The water in the pool was still trembling, and Su Zheng's heart was in his throat.

The smell of blood in the air is getting heavier and heavier, as if a layer of rust is covering the tongue.

Hearing the sound, the two sailors guarding the door had already disappeared. Su Zheng wished to quickly tear off the iron lock on his body, and his mind was full of thoughts about where Fu Bingying had gone.

Immediately afterwards, heavy footsteps sounded from outside the door, Su Zheng held his breath and concentrated, he knew that there was a large group of people standing outside.

The wooden door was pushed open by a hand like a bird's claw, and a short and fat man walked in. There was a deep scar on his forehead, which extended to his left eye. His left eye was gray, and his eyes Hitomi is no longer there.

"Lord Mou, someone brought it here."

The sound of footsteps approaching quickly, the crowd automatically cleared the way, and two soldiers walked in, dragging Fu Bingying, whose face was covered in blood.

"My lord." The two knelt down, and Fu Bingying also fell to the ground.

Su Zheng was shocked, his ear fins stood up, and the tail of the fish couldn't help slapping the water fiercely.

Everyone was startled by his manic behavior, and all backed away, only Mr. Mou stared at Fu Bingying intently.

"Boy, when the mermaid came back, were you the one who healed his wounds?"

Fu Bingying's face was blurred by blood stains, and there was no expression at all. He nodded slowly, dying.

"I want to ask you, what's the difference between a mermaid and a fish?" Deputy Lieutenant Mou was stout, but behaved like a gentleman.

"He...he...understands humanity..."

"Really?" Deputy Captain Mou narrowed his eyes, like a scheming weasel: "It's nothing. Dogs, cows, and even my parrot are all human, and it's common sense for animals to have human nature."

Fu Bingying was speechless.

Deputy Captain Mou's eyes were narrowed, and his body was slightly arched: "What I want to ask you is, does this mermaid have any abilities?"

"I do not know……"

Deputy Lieutenant Mou kicked him and tilted his head.

"I asked you seriously, so you should answer seriously." He said slowly, "Do mermaids have any vision skills?"

Su Zheng's eyes were about to burst, he kept chattering, he struggled vigorously against the iron lock, and the waves of the water turned more than half a meter high, making a splashing noise.

Master Mou raised his hand, and the sailors with bows and arrows all aimed at him. The sharp arrows emitted a frightening silver-blue light, and countless eyes of the house were threateningly staring at him.

Fu Bingying shook his head again, panting with difficulty, and leaned his cheek on the moldy ground.

Lord Mou stared at him closely, and after a while, he let out a laugh.

"My distant cousin, who came here a few days ago to beg for a pearl, was punished with a 'fishing net' by the selfless Mr. You, and showed everyone. Yesterday, I took back his dead bones, and now the fishing net is empty. Look, it's just right to put you in."

Fu Bingying remained motionless, as if half dead.

"Hey -! Hey -!"

There were traces of blood floating in the water, and Su Zheng's flesh had been worn away by the iron chains during the struggle, but no one paid any attention to his fuss.

He saw the two soldiers lift Fu Bingying up from the ground, and for a moment, panic surged in his heart like opening a gate to release a flood.What are they going to do?Kill Fu Bingying?what do I do?

Anger and sadness are mixed and intertwined, and anxiety and restlessness are inseparable. The heart becomes a container, compressing and loading the emotions that are constantly gathering, and finally forms a destructive storm.

At this moment, the wind suddenly blew up and the rain poured down.

The huge ship is like a dead leaf in the endless sea, letting the waves bump.

Shouts of shock and fear came from the deck, followed by the sound of a bomb falling into the water. The people in the cabin were turned on their backs, and no one stood still. Deputy Lieutenant Mou was thrown to the ground violently, turning his back like a bird. Chunky wax gourd, rolled from left to right.

"My lord! My lord, look quickly..."

In the chaos, people focused their attention on the luminous body in the center of the pool.

Su Zheng had already lost consciousness, and fear and anger occupied his consciousness. He felt his body was hot, as if it was about to burn, the scales of the fish were tense, as hard as the sharpest dagger, and the fins of the fish were swollen like pieces. With huge fan blades, his fish tail was so hot that it hurt, his muscles tightened, and he stood in the water, his eyes were blood red, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

He was glowing, like a hot flame, bright red, his eyes were red, like a ghost from hell, and the sharp bones on the fins were like sharp arrows, ready to shoot at the enemy at any time.

"My lord! The mermaid is angry!"

"Shut up!" Deputy Lieutenant Mou struggled to get up from the ground. He was flustered and scared, but years of experience in fighting against the sea told him to keep calm.

Calm down, calm down, move away slowly.

Su Zheng couldn't see anything, but his hearing became extremely sharp.

In the chaos of wailing, panting, and crying, he accurately found Fu Bingying's weak breathing. He heard the sound getting farther and farther away, and someone took him away.

Su Zheng's heart seemed to explode.

Don't take him away!

He wanted to reach out, and the red light shot out from his fingers with the scorching heat.

"what!"

"what!"

The two fell to the ground in response, causing an even bigger commotion.

"Killed! The mermaid killed!"

The footsteps of the sailors became more messy, and their breathing and shouting became more noisy.

Deputy Captain Mou was stepped on the ground in the chaos, he spat bitterly, the anger in his heart suppressed the fear, and he despised this half-man, half-fish monster even more.

"Don't run away!" He threatened in a deep voice, "Anyone who dares to take another step will be killed!"

Su Zheng followed the voice and turned his body around. His brain seemed to melt, sweat and brain merged into one, and he was unconscious, but he knew that the owner of this voice was the greatest threat.

Kill him, kill him.

His instinct was calling.

Kill him, kill him.

Deputy Captain Mou got up cautiously from the ground, and drew out the bow and arrow of the soldier beside him.He was blind in one eye, but his eyesight in the other was so good that he could fly through the sky with a hundred steps.He set up his posture, concentrated his strength on his wrist, and slowly drew the bow and arrow.

The sailors held their breath and concentrated, choked by the breath of death.

Su Zheng heard the sound of the bow string being tensed, heard the sound of the wind, and then there was a 'crow' sound, followed by the sound of skin and flesh being broken, and the smell of blood floated into his nose. In the next second, he felt sharp pain, and automatically Came from the right shoulder.

"Hey—!"

"Get on me! Bind him!" Deputy Captain Mou roared.

No one dared to act rashly. They were right. Su Zheng didn't fall down. On the contrary, his sharp nails suddenly elongated, reflecting a metallic luster, and shot several red lights at the assailant at a speed that humans could not react to.

The red light pierced into Lieutenant Mou's flesh with scorching heat, and the burnt smell spread in the cold and humid air.

"Ah... ah... help, save me..."

The lieutenant's dying cry for help sounded.

The frozen air was abruptly broken, and the sailors swarmed as if they wanted to be awakened, fleeing like a doorway.

The sound of insults, cries, and trampling came into my ears.

Su Zheng found Fu Bingying's voice in the confusion, it was weak and not very clear.

"Su Zheng..." Fu Bingying called unconsciously, "Su Zheng..."

The chaos caused the loss of more than half of the crew. The remaining people were maimed or injured, and less than one-fifth of them had healthy limbs. If they encountered pirates at this time, they would undoubtedly die.

With the death of Deputy Captain Mou, the thugs under his command who wanted to attack the mermaid were also completely cleaned up by the remaining subordinates of Mr. You.

"My lord, if all these corpses are thrown into the sea, they may attract fierce beasts."

Master You, who was lucky enough to escape, chuckled softly: "You know these things better than me, so why come to ask me for instructions."

"Small panic." The adjutant hurriedly bowed.

"Don't worry, our family won't blame you," Master You said, "Old Mou is dead, and there are not many people left. You know water, and our family is pointing you to return to Beijing."

"The little one should do his best!"

"...that's a nice word," Mr. You couldn't help showing a trace of contempt in his eyes, "it's not just Lao Mou Yidang who wants to eat mermaid meat on this boat, even our team is full of dogs who are in Cao Ying's heart thing."

"grown ups……"

"You don't need to shrink back. We didn't see anyone in the palace before. I can see through the thoughts of you fools. It's ridiculous. Do you think you can live forever by eating mermaid flesh? Everything in the world is born in the dust. Defeated in the soil, even the emperor and I are the same, let alone us ants, do we still want to go to the sky?"

"Your Excellency! These words can't be used..."

"Hmph. You guys, think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so you dare to do whatever you want. You don't know that God is watching." Mr. You squinted his eyes, and was blown to pieces by the whistling sea breeze. After a long while, he waved his sleeves and smiled happily He let out a sound, as if he had figured something out: "Where's the doctor accompanying the army? Go and see him."

Fu Bingying was seriously injured.

He was in Lord You's first battalion, and was severely beaten during the rebellion led by Deputy Captain Mou.The mermaid incident was rumored to be miraculous, and Fu Bingying, the trigger of the mermaid's rage, was also rumored to be miraculous. In addition, he was the one who healed and healed people in the past. Many people rumored that he had developed a relationship with the mermaid.

Just at this point, the people on the boat showed great concern for him, even Mr. You ordered the kitchen to send him ginseng soup day and night to heal his wounds.

This is of course on purpose.

That night, the mermaid summoned a storm and strong wind, which awakened everyone's respect for nature. After the death and injury, everyone yearned for stability and peace. They entrusted Fu Bingying with the task of taking care of and comforting the mermaid, hoping that he would keep everyone safe. Return to Beijing.

Fu Bingying spent half a month recuperating from his injury, during which time he almost contracted scurvy due to lack of vitamin C.

The sanitary conditions on the ship were poor, and his wounds healed slowly, and he could only limped out of bed in the end.

Everyone on the boat was counting on him, and the most bullied person on the boat would arrange to feed the mermaids. Fu Bingying thought it was ridiculous, but he wanted to see Su Zheng and kill him sooner, so that he would not have to continue in such a difficult life. Living under the conditions is just more than enough.

After he was able to get out of bed, he offered to meet the mermaid, Master You was very happy, and even promised him that if he returned to Beijing safely, he would speak well for him in front of the emperor.

Fu Bingying sincerely thanked him, and poured the stone fish kept in the room into the fish bucket without changing hands.

When he came to the wooden door again after more than half a month, a resistance suddenly surged in his heart, obviously he was the one who was lying on the bed expecting to see Su Zheng soon, and he was the one who hesitated at this moment.

Following the adjutant who was about to unlock the lock for him, he urged in a low voice: "My lord, please hurry up."

Fu Bingying closed his eyes and pushed open the door.
