There is a large lake at the foot of Lutai Mountain. It is said that Gu Diao once hid inside and dragged people, so no one dared to stay here until now.

Xuan Ji and his two carried the mermaid to the lake and gently placed it on the rock. Zhong Minyan ran over all the way, but forgot to lift his breath. He was so tired that he couldn't even speak. He could only squat on the ground and gasp, while saying intermittently: "Xuan Ji...you, you... take care of him first..."

Xuan Ji squatted beside the mermaid. Seeing that he was covered in wounds and there was not a perfect place, she couldn't help but sigh: "Does it hurt? I have medicine here, which I can give it to you."

The mermaid just looked at her quietly, as if she couldn't understand her words, and didn't even blink.

Xuan Ji pulled Zhong Minyan's sleeve: "What should I do? He doesn't seem to understand what I said?"

"You... care, don't care whether he can understand it or not! It should be applied, and it should be applied to medicine, and it should be released!" Zhong Minyan finally lay on the ground without saying a word.

Xuan Ji took out the unique Jinchuang medicine of Shaoyang School from the skin on his waist, stared at the scars on his body for a long time, and it was covered with blood and water, dirty, and some parts were turned on, and the flesh was soaked in water and turned white.

She quickly tore her handkerchief in half, washed the wounds with lake water, and then applied medicine for him. Fortunately, there were many people injured recently due to monster hunting, and there were still remaining gauze bandages in her skin, which was enough to wrap and wrap it firmly for him.

After applying the medicine for him, Xuan Ji breathed a sigh of relief and simply imitated Zhong Minyan. She sat on the grass with her chin against her knees and stared at the mermaid blankly.

Although this was her third time observing the mermaid from close range, after all, he was in the water the first two times. Now there is no water, he looks pale and decadent. His long hair like algae lingered and hung behind his chest. Unlike ordinary people's hair color, the mermaid's hair is as black as sandalwood, black with purple, and looks particularly gorgeous in the sun.

His eyes were light green like lake water, and his eye sockets were narrower and longer than ordinary people, showing deeper eyes. Under his straight nose, there were thin lips, probably because he had suffered too much, his lips were pale and he looked very embarrassed.

However, no matter how you look at it, he is a "person" with unique charm. Perhaps he is not as elegant as Yu Sifeng, or as handsome as Zhong Minyan, but as long as anyone has seen him, he will not forget him. He will not forget those faint sad light green eyes, and the gentleness and peace that is unique to him.

Xuan Ji was stunned as she looked at it. She vaguely felt a smile in his clear eyes. She suddenly came to her senses and pulled Zhong Minyan's clothes and shouted: "Look at you! He is smiling! Do you feel very happy when you are free?"

Zhong Minyan held up his head and looked at him, "Where is there a smile! You're stupid!"

He moved his muscles and bones, jumped up from the grass, looked around, and said, "Why haven't that boy Si Feng come yet! You won't have any trouble, right? Xuan Ji, why don't you go ahead and take a look?"

Xuan Ji didn't listen to him at all. She was holding the steamed cake baby in front of the mermaid.

"Are you hungry?" she asked carefully, "Do you want to eat?"

The mermaid still didn't say anything, but just looked at her indifferently. Xuan Ji put the steamed cake to her mouth and took a bite, indicating that the thing could be eaten, and then handed the unbittered one to his mouth. His eyes were shining with anticipation.

He still didn't move, sitting there like wood.

"He doesn't like to eat our things!" Zhong Minyan was also attracted, "He is a mermaid, and should eat mermaids' things."

Xuan Jiqi said: "What does that mermaid eat?"

"Uh..." Zhong Minyan thought seriously, "The mermaid lives in the water, almost like a fish... It should be eating small insects and shrimps! You might as well dig some earthworms and feed them!"

The earthworm?! Xuan Ji couldn't help but have a black line. The mermaid opposite seemed to have sweated for a while, but she still held on to stop talking.

"The mermaids, like humans, eat the same thing, things." Yu Sifeng's voice sounded behind him.

Zhong Minyan jumped up quickly, "How is it? Has anyone noticed it?"

Yu Sifeng shook her head and walked over, first looked at the mermaid. Seeing that his body was covered with bandages, she couldn't help but ask Xuan Ji: "Did you do it?"

Xuan Ji nodded, "I just don't know if the human gold-creation medicine is useful to him."

He smiled and said, "It's useful. Don't worry."

Seeing her holding steamed cake in her hand, he smiled again: "But. Mermaids don't like to eat these snacks, don't bother with them."

Xuan Ji said "Oh", as if it was a pity, so she had to pack the steamed cakes by herself and keep them for dinner as a midnight snack.

Zhong Minyan looked around and said, "What should I do? Will I release him in this lake? Will someone be discovered?"

Yu Sifeng squatted in front of the mermaid, as if she saw a familiar friend, raised her hand to sort out her messy long hair for him, and said softly: "Don't be afraid. Stay here for a few days first. Don't let someone catch it. After a month, someone will come to pick you up."

The mermaid seemed to be able to understand his words, blinked his eyes and expressed his agreement. Zhong Minyan couldn't help but be surprised: "He can understand Si Feng's words! Huh? Could it be that the mermaid cannot understand the authentic Zhongyuan emphasis, but instead like the Western dialect Zhongyuan dialect?"

Yu Sifeng glared at him helplessly, then turned around and said to the mermaid: "Remember, what I said. Soon, someone will come."

Xuan Ji asked, "Si Feng, how do you know someone will come to pick him up?"

Yu Sifeng was stunned for a moment, then said lightly: "We, Lize Palace, have special people, responsible for dealing with these injured and underage, weak monsters. Not all sects in the world, like you, Shaoyang, to eliminate dissidents."

Zhong Minyan was a little angry when he heard this, but then he thought that he was right. If it were the master or uncle who saw this mermaid, let alone save him, he would be afraid that he would arrest them himself.

He felt that he was in a wrong position and didn't want to admit it, so he had to snort and walked to the side and stopped talking.

Xuan Ji whispered: "I don't rule out dissidents, I only help those who want to help, whether it's a monster or a human."

Yu Sifeng was silent. After a while, he gently pushed the mermaid and said, "Go. I'll give you this bottle of elixir. If you are hungry, just eat one. It's good for the wound." He tied a small purple ceramic bottle to his waist with a rope.

The mermaid looked at him deeply, then looked down at Xuan Ji, suddenly raised her head, opened her mouth, and made a clear roar.

The sound was simply wonderful that they could not imagine. At first glance, goose bumps appeared all over their bodies. Each pore opened instantly, and was passed by something comfortable and refreshing, and the whole body was loosened.

He glanced at Xuan Ji for the last time and suddenly stretched out his body. The silver fish tail waved like a veil in the sunlight, and the light overflowed. He jumped into the lake gently and skillfully without even splashing a drop of water.

The three of them stared blankly at the ripples getting bigger and bigger. The snow-white figure of the mermaid finally could no longer be seen. His singing was still flowing in their ears, which was tangled and floating until nine days away. All the clouds were instantly intoxicated.

It took me a long time before Xuan Ji woke up from the dreamy song. When I looked at the lake, I saw that there was still a half-person figure!

"Well, what did he... sing just now?" Zhong Minyan was still a little stunned, "It sounds so nice. I have never heard such a sound."

Yu Sifeng said calmly: "He is here, thank us. Many people say that mermaids use singing to confuse their minds. In fact, it is them, there are ghosts in their hearts. For mermaids, the sound is, they, the most beautiful, treasure. Therefore, they will dedicate this treasure to their benefactors."

Xuan Ji touched her arm with lingering fear, but the goose bumps on her had not yet subsided.

She was stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed, "Is the Pearl incident considered a successful completion?"

The two of them were stunned at first and then laughed. The three of them reached out their hands at the same time in a tacit understanding and shouted together: "The ending is perfect! We are heroes!"

We are heroes!

That afternoon, these words kept floating on the lake.

For the first time in his life, three teenage children have tasted the pleasure of being a hero.

After returning to the inn, their faces flushed with excitement. In the end, Chu Yinghong kept asking them what they were doing in the afternoon, but no one spoke, just laughed.

This is the secret of three people, from now on, the secret of life, the secret of friendship.
