Chapter 0 [Modern Extra] Yunshui Li Special~
Xiao Jiangjiu has been away from her mother for more than a month. Although she has handsome older brothers to play with her every day, she still misses her mother so much.
So just after her previous brother left, she sneaked out of the house and prepared to return to a familiar place to find her mother alone.
Who knew that she only had impressions of familiar streets, and now, after so many years, the street scenes have changed beyond recognition. She, a little kid with a bit of directionality, got lost on the road.
Although she adhered to the principle of not talking to strangers, she was not abducted by bad guys.
But before she knew it, she had reached the very dangerous beach.
"Wow!"
Little Jiangjiu's eyes were full of love and surprise. Since she could remember, she had only lived between kindergarten and home. Her mother had no time to take her out to play, so she could only entertain herself. She didn't even know that there was a sea here.
Waves blew across the beach in waves, and Xiao Jiangjiu became more and more eager. He simply took off his shoes and walked towards the sea carefully.
She thought that as long as she played for a short while, her mother would definitely not be angry, and she would not be discovered by the kind older brothers.
Little Jiangjiu was in a better and better mood as he stepped on the water. His bare little feet were submerged in the sand and sea water, which was so cool and comfortable in this hot summer day.
At the same time, on the other side, Yun Shuili, who was told that there was a miniature ginger wine at home, was rushing home without stopping.
His beautiful face was full of anticipation, he really wanted to see the chubby little ginger wine.
As a result, when he opened the door, not only was Xiao Jiangjiu not waiting for him at the door, but he also found that the house was empty, and the emptiness was so frightening.
The gentle smile on Yun Shuili's face froze at the corners of his mouth. Various possibilities flashed through his mind. He even imagined the scene of Xiao Jiangjiu being kidnapped by human traffickers and taken into the deep mountains and forests.
For a moment, Yun Shuili's aura began to rise steadily. People within a hundred miles began to feel palpitations, and the fish in the sea also became restless.
"Who is it?! Who dares to take my people away!"
Although Yun Shuili is a mermaid, his strength is comparable to that of the others. Except for the fact that he cannot beat the fox, he is on equal terms with the others.
The moment he discovered that Xiao Jiangjiu had disappeared, his spiritual sense had already covered the entire city, and even several neighboring cities, and he began a carpet search for Xiao Jiangjiu's whereabouts.
Then...he saw the little boy Jiang Jiu playing in the water at the nearby beach.
There was also a huge shark nearby, ready to strike, staring closely at the clueless little ginger wine.
The fire above Yun Shuili's head suddenly burst out, and he appeared in the sea in a flash, turning into the form of a mermaid and directly tore the shark hand into pieces.
Xiao Jiangjiu felt some movement in the sea and looked at the water surface blankly for a moment. He saw a thick blood color gradually emerging below, spreading like ink in the blue sea.
An expression of fear suddenly appeared on her face, and she was about to run out with her bare feet.
The next second, little Jiangjiu fell into a wet arms.
“!”
Before Xiao Jiangjiu could shout, her eyes met Yun Shuili's stunning beauty. Her eyes froze for a moment, her mouth slightly open, and she forgot that she was about to ask for help.
The man's long light-colored hair was soaked by the sea water and curled slightly against his body. His facial features were so delicate that they didn't look like those of a human. His eyes, like a pair of stars, were looking at her with a smile. Anyone would fall for him on the spot.
Ginger wine is no exception.
Yun Shuili looked at Xiao Jiangjiu in a daze over his face with satisfaction, and deliberately slowed down his voice.
"Why did you sneak out to play without telling your parents?"
The voice that was almost the most beautiful music in the world was now spoken in this tone. Xiao Jiangjiu didn't move at all, and nestled obediently in Yun Shuili's arms, even trying to reach out and grab his wet hair.
She was afraid that the handsome mermaid brother would disappear before her eyes.
"I...I want to find my mother."
Xiao Jiangjiu was so bewildered that he couldn't tell a lie, but he was a little shy because he ran out without permission.
"You can tell your brother. It's dangerous to sneak out."
Yun Shuili was very skilled at calling himself brother, and his smiling expression was very nice, but if it was on anyone else's face, it would probably look very vulgar.
Because not only Xiao Jiangjiu was captivated by his face, but Yun Shuili was also touched by Xiao Jiangjiu.
"But...I haven't seen my mother for a month."
Xiao Jiangjiu's tone was lost, but he was still holding Yun Shuili's arm in his hand. It was unclear whether he was nervous, scared, or was attracted by the mermaid's eyebrows.
"No! If it's mermaid brother! You can definitely lead me to find my mother, right?"
Suddenly, Xiao Jiangjiu's eyes lit up, his tone became urgent, and his eyes were full of expectation when he looked at Yun Shuili.
“…”
Yun Shuili fell silent. He was afraid that he couldn't find someone who had been dead for who knows how many years.
But now he still has to comfort the little girl in front of him. If he lets her run away again, he might be beaten to death.
"Ahem, I'm not a mermaid, I'm a merman. I can accompany you to find your mother, but don't you want to go to the sea and have some fun?"
Yun Shuili's voice has the ability to bewitch others. After hearing this, Xiao Jiangjiu was confused.
"Huh? Oh... I want to go and see it."
Little Ginger Wine's eyes fell on the sea level, and the cartoons about the ocean that he had seen before flashed through his mind, with the cute little seahorses and clownfish in them. He immediately became excited.
"Then brother will take you to play, okay? You won't have the chance to experience it again in the future."
Yun Shuili was right to say so, because after Jiang Jiu recovered to his adult form, he would definitely not accompany him to the sea again.
He prefers living in the water, but Ginger Wine doesn't like it.
Every time he mentioned this request to Jiang Jiu, Jiang Jiu would frown and look conflicted.
I would say to him something like, 'I'm a human being, and I wouldn't be comfortable living in the ocean,' and 'They would mind too.'
"Okay, okay."
Xiao Jiangjiu was much easier to coax. When Yun Shuili heard this affirmative answer, his eyes immediately turned into two crescent moons with a smile, and he looked in a very good mood.
He had already driven away any creature in the ocean that could pose a threat to Little Ginger Wine, leaving only some very cute little creatures, which Little Ginger Wine might like.
He was just about to swim into the water with Xiao Jiangjiu in his arms, but Xiao Jiangjiu suddenly looked unhappy.
"But, Mermaid brother, Jiang Jiu can't swim and can't breathe in water..."
Yun Shuili stopped swinging his fish tail and laughed. He didn't expect that Xiao Jiangjiu could still remember these things.
It’s just that Jiang Jiu has a mermaid’s heart in his body, so he can breathe freely in the water.
