Chapter 430: Cannon fodder merman in ancient Chinese literature 26

"Yes, sister, come down quickly!"
The young merman boy lay on the side of the boat and said, Yun Wu subconsciously stretched out her foot but paused.
She turned her head to look at Lu Jingzhi in the distance. She could vaguely see his handsome profile through the fence in the middle.
A look of hesitation appeared on Yun Wu's face, and she retracted her outstretched foot.
"Wait...wait a moment..."
"What are you waiting for? If you stay any longer, you'll be chopped into three, four, five, or six pieces."
The mermaid grandmother spoke in a very exaggerated manner, and the little mermaid boy beside her began to tremble with fear.
"He didn't tear my bones apart..."
Yun Wu said weakly. She was sitting at the stern of the boat, still wearing luxurious mortal clothes.
Seeing that she looked healthy and had no injuries on her body, the mermaid grandma looked a little suspicious, but she still wanted to persuade Yun Wu.
"Xiao Yun, don't be too serious. If this is just an illusion created by mortals, you will have no way out."
The mermaid grandma sighed, with a look of worry on her old face.
"Once upon a time, there was a mermaid who also fell in love with a mortal, but what was the result? Wasn't she still used by the mortal who wanted to get countless pearls? In the end, she cried her tears dry and disappeared into thin air..."
"Mother-in-law..."
Yun Wu sat at the stern of the boat with her eyes lowered and trembling slightly, and then she heard the merman grandmother continue:
"Men in this world are so fickle. I hope you can think carefully about this."
"I……"
Yun Wu opened her pink lips and was about to say something, but the little merman boy lay down at the stern and tried to pull her down.
"Sister, please come with us. I don't want you to die."
Yun Wu looked hesitant and subconsciously moved closer to the sea. Suddenly, she heard some movement.
She turned around and saw Lu Jingzhi standing in front of the cabin looking at her.
He was dressed in green and stood tall. His handsome face was particularly good-looking. His eyes looked straight at Yun Wu, as if he saw through everything, but surprisingly he did not say a single word.
The mermaid grandmother and the little mermaid boy were half-hidden in the sea.
Yun Wu was standing at the stern, on one side she was going back to the seabed with the mermaids, on the other side she was with Lu Jingzhi...
If she took one more step forward, just one more step, she would fall to the bottom of the sea and would never see Lu Jingzhi again in this life.
"Xiaoyun, whether you want to go back to the bottom of the sea or stay on the shore is up to you."
The mermaid grandmother said as she held the little mermaid boy in her arms and waited for Yun Wu in the sea.
Yun Wu was in a dilemma, she turned around and looked at Lu Jingzhi.
He was also looking at her, his pair of handsome eyes staring at her without blinking. As the sun set, Yun Wu could clearly see the love in his eyes.
It was the meaning of the joy that Yue Sangning had told her.
"Ah Wu..."
Lu Jingzhi's voice was low. He just called her and didn't say anything more, but it seemed like he had said a lot.
The other people on the ship had already gone to patrol another merchant ship, leaving only Lu Jingzhi and Yun Wu on the empty ship.
The sea breeze blew across Yun Wu's skirt. She lowered her eyes and saw Lu Jingzhi's tightly bandaged hands. Suddenly, she was filled with thoughts.
At this moment, the sound of the wind seemed to have stopped, and Yun Wu clenched her wrists in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The next moment, she mustered up her courage and ran towards Lu Jingzhi, and threw herself into his arms.
This was the boldest decision Yun Wu had ever made in her entire life.
She was a little surprised the moment she threw herself into Lu Jingzhi's arms. She chose to believe Lu Jingzhi and seemed to hear her own deafening heartbeat.
Lu Jingzhi also hugged her, and his nostrils were filled with the faint fragrance of Yun Wu.
Yun Wu didn’t know that Lu Jingzhi’s hands were trembling slightly when he hugged her that time.
He's gambling.
He was betting on whether his Awu would really choose to leave him, and whether she would stay.
If she lost the bet, she would leave him and return to the bottom of the sea, perhaps never to come ashore again.
The moment he held the petite girl in his arms, he knew he had won the bet.
"Let's go back..."
The old merman woman said to the little merman boy, and the little boy saw Sister Yun Wu turn around and say goodbye to them.
"Mother-in-law, isn't Sister going with us?"
"There will be plenty of opportunities to see you again in the future..."
The mermaid grandmother said, and she and the little boy looked up.
They saw the handsome mortal man standing at the stern with his arms around Yun Wu. He nodded and bowed towards the two of them with a solemn expression.
"Don't worry, that mortal seems... trustworthy."
The mermaid grandmother glanced at Lu Jingzhi, then dived into the sea with the mermaid boy and left.
Yun Wu stood at the stern of the boat and watched them disappear into the sea, feeling filled with emotion.
"Do you regret it?"
Lu Jingzhi's voice was filled with resentment. Yun Wu turned her head to look at him, her bright eyes timid, but she still hummed and muttered:
"If you are really like what mother-in-law said, I will go back to the sea immediately, really! I am very determined..."
"There is absolutely no way this will happen."
Lu Jingzhi said that the afterglow of sunset was very soft. He held Yun Wu in his arms, his eyes full of smiles.
It was a big decision for his Ah Wu to stay on the shore. While he was happy, he also felt that he should stay with her, love her and protect her for the rest of his life.
Let her know that today's decision is not wrong. Most mortal men are fickle, but he is in love.
"Liangzhou City is close to the sea. We will stay in Liangzhou City after we get married. It will also be convenient for you to meet your clansmen."
Lu Jingzhi slowly loosened his embrace and said, Yun Wu looked surprised and asked:
"But, but aren't you the young marquis? You want to go back to the capital..."
"I am a young marquis in the capital, and I can be a young marquis in Liangzhou City as well. Besides, Liangzhou City is not far from the capital."
Lu Jingzhi said, raising his hand to support Yun Wu's cheek, and lowered his head to kiss her.
He was thinking that Awu didn't know anyone in the capital, and she would be very lonely if she stayed there for a long time.
Besides, the banquets held by the dignitaries in the capital were always filled with smoke and chaos, and he didn't want her to feel restrained or suffer any grievances.
It would be better to settle down in Liangzhou City. Everyone Yun Wu knew was here, and it was close to the coast, so it would be convenient for her to go back and see her tribe members.
Yun Wu didn’t know what Lu Jingzhi was thinking. She just felt that what Lu Jingzhi said made some sense, and she also wanted to stay in Liangzhou City.
"Just now...why did you stay?"
As the sun sets, Lu Jingzhi looks at her with a half-smile in his eyes.
Yun Wu blushed and kept silent. She didn't know what happened at the time. Now that she thought about it, it seemed to be what Yue Sangning said -
She truly felt the joy at that moment.
"I'm very happy, Awu..."
Lu Jingzhi's voice was low. He put his arm around her waist, pressed his forehead against hers, and then leaned in and kissed her.
Yun Wu wanted to say that she was also a little happy, but she was too embarrassed to speak out.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the silhouettes of the two people standing at the stern of the boat were stretched out very long...
It seems that we can see the shadow of the rest of our lives.
