Dragon Pattern: The Strangeness of the Sea

091 The beginning and end of the matter

"It turned out that you came to save me when you learned the distress message I put in the tear pearl. If I had known this, I shouldn't have put the help message in the tear pearl at the beginning, and I wouldn't have caused this today." Jiao Ren sighed and said with a frown.

Min Xiaoxin was confused. When the three of them hid outside the window to listen to the house, they clearly saw the mackerel trapped on the wooden shelf and beating with a whip, and the appearance of the mackerel did not seem to be very enjoyable at that time, and Min Xiaoxin clearly heard the mackerel's screams at the beginning.

If she is really a sadist, the cry in her mouth should be very refreshing rather than so miserable when she is beaten like this, but the mackerel said that the three of them did bad things with good intentions, which sounded like Min Xiaoxin and others had done something wrong.

Min Xiaoxin was a little confused. She didn't know what this meruffian meant. Could it be... was her brained stupid? It doesn't look like it either! Thinking of this, Min Xiaoxin couldn't help but come forward, put her hand on the man's forehead, and checked it carefully.

The meruffian was slightly stunned, and then understood Min Xiaoxin's intention. He said with a smile, "I'm not stupid, and I'm not crazy."

"Then why do you still stay here and not leave? I think Boss Liu is not good to you. Why do you want to stay here? Have you been poisoned by them? As soon as the words were said, Min Xiaoxin immediately shook her head and said, "That's not right. Your tears are a strange medicine in the world that can cure all kinds of diseases. How can you be poisoned? Then why on earth do you have to stay here and not leave?

The mackerel sighed and knew that if he didn't say something, the three people would definitely not leave, so he sighed and said, "It's a long story, and everything has to start from two years ago..."

The mackerel sighed, which told everyone the beginning and end of the matter...

"My name is Linger. I am a Jiaoren. I have lived on the edge of the North Sea since I was a child. I have never left the North Sea. When I was a child, I often heard my colleagues in the sea talk about what the outside world is like, which made me yearn for the outside world since I was a child. Two years ago, I left the North Sea for fun and floated along the river to the fishing song. Near the town, it was unexpectedly stranded on the beach. The mackerel said, "At that time, a scholar in white happened to pass by, saved me who was stranded, and released me back into the river. From that moment on, I fell in love with him."

"So it is, so it is. Why are you imprisoned here? Where's the scholar who saved you?" Min Xiaoxin asked.

"I fell in love with him and was determined to accompany him, so I became a woman in the world. After many times, I finally learned that the scholar in white was called Xiao Ziqi. His family was poor and his parents died when I was a child, so I stayed by his side and became his wife." The merman continued to say, and the corners of his eyes were a little wet. "Unfortunately, my mana is low, and I don't know how to make money. The heavy burden of the family is all on my father-in-law, but he is also a scholar with no power to bind a chicken. In desperation, the boss decided to borrow money from Boss Liu of the rich fish song medicine shop in this town to go to Beijing for the exam. If he can get the exam. If you return to your hometown, you will have a good life in the future. The husband borrowed a hundred taels of silver from Boss Liu and left twenty taels for me to live, so he went to Beijing to take the exam.

"So, what about your father-in-law? There will be no news from now on, will it?" Min Xiaoxin continued to ask.

"It has been more than half a year since the father-in-law left. The neighbors in the town say that the father-in-law either suffered an accident and was killed by robbers on the way, or the title of the gold list has already left the family behind, but I don't believe that the father-in-law is such a person. I have been waiting for the father-in-law to come back at home. During this period, the town The bully Zhang Datong brought it to my family to collect debts many times. They searched my house inside and outside but couldn't find the previous things. Seeing that I was a woman and Taoist again, it seemed that there was really no money, so they stopped. Speaking of this, two lines of tears suddenly left in the mackerel's eyes. As soon as the tears fell into the basin, they immediately turned into bright tear pearls as soon as they touched the water.

Min Xiaoxin's eyes and hands were fast. She quickly picked up the tears and pearls in the water and carefully put them into the universe bag. When she came back, she saw that Lu Lian was staring at her angrily. Then she felt that she seemed to be a little gaffe just now. She said, "It's a pity that I lost it. At least it's a good thing. Don't waste it, Linger girl, go on."

"A year later, my father-in-law finally came back. When he came back, he didn't even have a copper plate on his body. His unkempt and dirty clothes were torn. It turned out that his father-in-law couldn't help but fall into the sun. On the way back, he unfortunately met a robber and robbed all the entanglement on his body. The father-in-law was penniless. Later, he went all the way. The beggar just came back. The man sighed, and his words were full of sadness. "I would like to think that my husband can return to its original state. Unexpectedly, as soon as my husband came back, Boss Liu and Zhang Datong received the news and immediately came to his family to collect debts. My husband didn't have money to pay it back. Boss Liu was so angry that he ordered someone to beat his husband. He couldn't pay back, so he could only be They kept beating. Later, I saw that my husband was about to be killed, and I had no choice. Seeing that my husband was beaten so badly, I was angry, anxious and distressed, so I shed tears.

"Ah! So that's it. Boss Liu saw that your tears were tear pearls, so he arrested you, didn't he? Min Xiaoxin asked.

"Yes, Boss Liu said that it is natural for him to repay the debt. Since his father-in-law can't pay it back, let me, the wife, pay it back. Boss Liu also calculated with me. He said that the money was borrowed a year ago, and the profit was rolled up a few times. After calculation, we should pay him 10,000 taels of silver now." The mackerel said.

"Eurgury! Boss Liu is indeed a black-hearted guy. Do you agree to 10,000 taels of silver? Min Xiaoxin was shocked.

"What can I do if I don't agree?" The mackerel shook his head and said, "They took my father-in-law away and threatened me to kill my father-in-law if I didn't pay back the money. In desperation, I had to agree to him. Boss Liu said that a tear pearl would be regarded as a liang of silver. As long as I could give him 10,000 tear pearls, he would let me reunite with my father-in-law." The mackerel sighed and said.

"10,000 drops? A drop is only one or two of silver. I'm dizzy. Do you know how much Boss Liu can sell after grinding your mackerel's tears into powder? This nigga, you have at least helped him earn millions of silver, and he won't let you go! Don't believe his promise. If he were an honest person, he wouldn't cheat you like this. Min Xiaoxin said angrily.

"Yes, Miss Linger, come with us. I promise that the ninth princess and uncle will help you save your husband. If you believe Boss Liu's words, that's really stupid." Yu Chen also opened his mouth to persuade.

"No..." The mackerel shook his head. "In this year, in order to prevent me from escaping, Boss Liu sent Zhang Da and other people to imprison me here. Usually, he is good to me, and he will change the water for me every day. Now I have given Boss Liu 9,9, 900 tear pearls, and he is still 100 drops away from letting my father-in-law. I don't I can't do it at this time."

"Don't be silly, okay? Let me tell you, even if you really give him 10,000 drops, he will not fulfill his original promise. Do you think he is willing to let you go of this cash cow? Min Xiaoxin shook her head and said, "Also, your father-in-law has been locked up for a year. You haven't seen him in this year. How do you know if he is still in the world? Instead of waiting for death, it's better to go out in person and save your father-in-law with us."

When the mackerel heard this, he was also shocked and exclaimed, "It makes sense. I haven't seen my father-in-law for a whole year, and I don't know how he is now."

"It's not good, it's definitely not good." Min Xiaoxin shook her head and said, "Boss Liu is a vampire. He will naturally not treat you too much if you have useful value for him. Your father-in-law is just a burden for him. I think Boss Liu may not even be willing to give your father-in-law to eat. He must send him some leftovers every day. If you continue to wait, I'm afraid that you will The public is about to return to the west."

As soon as the mackerel heard this, he was very anxious and anxious, so he covered his face and cried. Seeing the mackerel crying so miserably, Min Xiaoxin was at a loss. She knew that what she had just said was a little heavy, which must have scared the mackerel, so she opened her mouth to coax the mackerel, "Miss Linger, don't worry, we have Speak up! Don't cry!"

"Miss Linger, trust us." Yu Chen also opened his mouth to persuade.

The mackerel named Linger cried for a while before stopping. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that these three people did not look like bad people, and the other party also said that they were dragons. Since they were dragons, they could understand why they helped her, so Ling'er pondered for a moment and gritted her teeth and said, "Well, so there are more than three. I'm in position, but I don't know how to repay it.

"Then let's go. If you are injured, go back to the inn to recover from your injury first. You can rest assured. The whereabouts of your father-in-law are on us. This Yuge town is a little big. As long as your father-in-law is still locked in the town by Boss Liu, we will have a way to find your father-in-law." Min Xiaoxin vowed to make a promise.

"Thank you, but at this moment, Boss Liu and Zhang Datong have escaped. I don't know if the dog will hurt my father-in-law who jumped under the wall. Now I can only hope that the three can help me find my father-in-law's whereabouts quickly." Linger said.

"It's not too late. Take her back to the inn first, and then I'll find out the whereabouts of Boss Liu. You and Yuchen go to find out where Ling'er's father-in-law is imprisoned." Lu Lian said.

"Okay, I'll hug the girl Linger." After saying that, Yu Chen stretched out his hand and picked up the Linger in the basin.

Because Lu Lian and Min Xiaoxin already have a marriage contract, in order to avoid suspicion, Yuchen hugged Linger. The three left the small waist mountain and returned to the inn in Yuge Town.
