Chapter 76: The Pirate Queen and the Fish Mate

Listening to the sound of water splashing, Shui Shui smiled lightly, then groped her way out of the safe, her tone polite and reserved, yet slightly wary: "Thank you for rescuing me. Did it lie to you and say that eating its meat would improve your eyesight, so you saved me?"

"It's all deceitful, it's a cheater fish... Don't eat it."

"Don't worry, I won't eat it." Qi Gu saw Shui Shui's intention to protect the little fish, "We are broadcasting live. Live broadcast is a kind of television that allows viewers to see in real time."

Shui Shui blinked when she heard this: "In other words, what I say will be known by many people at the same time?"

"That's right."

Shui Shui smiled, her lips curled up, and she spoke without hesitation: "I am Lin Shui Shui, who lives in Building 3 of Wuqiao Community in Yuanshan District, G City. On May 15th, fifteen years ago, I was beaten to death by my biological mother and stepfather. They put me in a safe and threw me into this reservoir to destroy the body. If you are willing to help me, can you please call the police for me?"

[Yes, I do, sister!] 】

[The police have been called and will arrive soon. They take this matter very seriously.]

[I have already reported it]

[Wow, I feel so sorry for my sister. Her soul has been in the reservoir for fifteen years and she can’t even move. How horrible must that feel?]

[If I had been insane, I would have been unconscious long ago]

【well】

The screen was filled with greetings. Although Shui Shui couldn't see them, she still bowed to the outside world: "Thank you, everyone. Thank you."

Qi Gu looked into Shui Shui's empty, dark eyes and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Shui Shui is not an earthbound ghost. Her body was just thrown into the reservoir after her death, not dying in the water. However, if Shui Shui were to be reincarnated in her current state, her soul would be incomplete and she would be born blind.

When the little fish in the reservoir heard this question, they immediately popped out half of their pretty heads and stared at Shui Shui with their beautiful eyes without blinking.

Shui Shui...are you leaving?

Leaving the reservoir is a good thing, and it should be happy for Shui Shui, but why does it want to cry so much?

"I don't want to be reincarnated. I want to spend more time with the little fish. But we won't stay in this reservoir any longer. We will go to other water sources to have a look." Shui Shui said, "Its biggest wish before was to have eyes to see the world carefully. But because of me, it has stayed in the gloomy and dark reservoir for many years. I have delayed it for too long."

"Shui Shui didn't delay me. I did it willingly!" The little fish jumped up again and flew into Shui Shui's arms, rubbing Shui Shui's face with its mouth.

It started crying again.

This fish seems to have endless tears to shed.

It cried and twitched, its tail swishing back and forth, but it did not forget its business. It turned to look at Qi Gu and said, "Master, they all say you are a master. Can I ask you to do me a favor?"

"What's the matter?"

"I want to use my most beautiful scales that can see through obstacles to exchange for your help in giving Shuishui an eye." Xiaoyu said seriously, "I want to see the world with her, instead of her giving me her eyes to see the world."

Shui Shui's face immediately became anxious: "It hurts to dig out your eyes, how can a small fish like you bear it!"

She held the little fish worriedly and gently, not wanting it to leave.

"But you were also a child when you gave me your eyes, and you were in pain too," said Xiaoyu.

In the end, Xiaoyu convinced Shuishui.

Qi Gu used a rather energy-consuming but relatively pain-relieving method to dig out one of the eyes that had already grown into the fish's body and stuffed it into Shui Shui's eye socket.

A minute later, the man and the fish opened the same pair of eyes, and there was a smile in both eyes as they looked at each other.

"Thank you, Master." Shui Shui and Xiao Yu thanked Qi Gu in unison.

Qi Gu nodded slightly.

The fisherman nearby fainted from tears after hearing their stories. The three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, as if they were performing a comedy.

The little fish turned his head in Shui Shui's arms and looked at them: "Thank you for your perseverance in fishing, otherwise Shui Shui doesn't know how long it will take to get ashore. As a thank you, I will go and catch some fish for you to catch?"

The fisherman suddenly heard such an attractive proposal, and he cried and said, "Really? Woohoo, then I want a bigger one."

“I want one too…”

The little fish patted his chest with his fin and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"

The small fish jumped into the water, and the three fishermen quickly set up their fishing rods.

Soon, the dark water near the fishing rod began to ripple under the light, and countless fish heads moved around.

One, two, three... Tonight is a big catch for the fishermen.

[Good boy, they were really happy too]

[Wow, fish are good, fish are grateful, parents are bad, parents beat water]

Qi Gu handed Shui Shui a talisman: "This is a soul-nourishing talisman. It can protect the ghost from sunlight and other impacts. Keep it."

Since we want to see the scenery, we must see it during the day and at night, Qi Gu thought.

"Thank you, brother."

Mu Xingchen said hurriedly: "I also want to give something."

Qi Gu raised his eyebrows slightly: "You figured out a spell?"

Could it be that he had misjudged his disciple and that he was actually an extraordinary talent?

Mu Xingchen took out a pair of one-eyed pirate eye patches from the backpack behind him, one large and one small, just the right size for Shui Shui and Xiao Yu: "This is the photo prop I bought earlier, it should be perfect for the two of you, do you want to try it?"

Seeing that Shui Shui was interested, Qi Gu drew a circle on the ground and burned the blindfold for her.

The one for the little fish just needs to be put on.

Soon, the pirate queen wearing an eye patch and her blind fish mate with the same look appeared.

Shui Shui looked at Xiao Yu, then at Mu Xingchen, and smiled reservedly: "Thank you, I like this gift very much and will cherish it."

She will head towards their new world with the little fish.

"Will you wait a little longer, until things come to a conclusion?" Seeing Shui Shui was about to leave, Mu Xingchen subconsciously tried to keep her.

"No need to wait. I know the authorities will definitely deal with them. The police uncles and aunties are very responsible. I have waited for too long. Every minute and every second is precious. I want to use all my time to be happy with Xiaoyu." Shui Shui said.

The little fish was put into a small basin by Shui Shui and floated away.

Qi Gu looked at the scale in his hand that was as bright as crystal, examined it for a few seconds, and then put it into the purple gold gourd.

[What a cool sister, the Pirate Queen and the Fish Mate will be happy together]

【Bon Voyage! 】

[I hope everything is fine for them, and I also hope that her vicious parents will be sentenced to death]

【support】

The "reservoir corpse case" naturally became a hot search.

Netizens were talking about this, either saying that Qi Gu had discovered another murder case or discussing the effectiveness of the blind fish. It can be seen that it was indeed a right decision for Shui Shui to take the little fish away as soon as possible.

Otherwise... maybe someone will come and disturb their lives.

Some residents who lived near Wuqiao Community and had not yet slept stood guard outside the door of the vicious couple before the police arrived, fearing that the two evil people would escape.

When the nearby police station received the report and arrived at Wuqiao Community within ten minutes, what they saw were lovely people guarding outside the criminal's home.

The police thanked the kind-hearted people and reminded them to protect themselves before doing good deeds. Then they pulled the vicious couple out of their bed while they were still sleeping, put on silver handcuffs and took them away.

The couple didn't know what had happened when they were dragged away. They cried out that they were wronged and that the police were violent. The kind-hearted people outside were so angry that they couldn't stand it anymore and cursed, "Come on, everyone knows that you two killed someone and dumped the body in the reservoir. The evidence is irrefutable. Don't try to deny it. Just wait for the death penalty!"

The couple turned pale when they heard this: "You, you are talking nonsense..."

How could there be any witnesses? Apart from that disobedient girl, no one else would know about this.

"Haha." The passerby laughed and raised his mobile phone.

On the phone screen, there was the ghost of a pale and skinny little girl floating above the jagged bones.

"She herself accused both of you."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The couple recalled Shui Shui's appearance before her death and screamed at the same time because they saw a ghost. Then they were gagged and stuffed into a police car.

The following year, the two were sentenced to death in the second trial and executed immediately because of the bad impact of the case and the cruel means used.

At that time, Shui Shui was swimming with the little fish through a green ocean where the grass was swaying in the wind, and the scent of green grass was everywhere in her breath.

When the little fish in the basin passed by a purple flower, it suddenly bit one in its mouth, jumped up and handed it to Shui Shui: "This one is beautiful and fragrant. I give it to you."

Water droplets splashed and landed on Shui Shui's body and the long grass.

Shui Shui wasn't angry at all. She took the flower and pinned it on Xiao Yu's eye mask: "You look very cute in it."

Standing in the long grass, gazing at the distant meadow and the clear sky, their souls are free and their bodies are unrestrained.

*

The comments under the hot search are naturally lively.

[No, why is Qi Gu riding on this kind of popularity again? Aren’t you afraid of shortening your life?]

[You’re arguing with a social hot spot like a murder case, right? 】

[What’s wrong with someone doing a good deed and becoming a trending topic? You are jealous.]

[The police gave Qi Gu, Mu Xingchen and the three fishermen a reward for their bravery. Who the hell do you think you are? You're scolding Qi Gu.]

[The matter in Qingji District has not been figured out yet. What exactly happened? 】

[You didn’t say it clearly. Wasn’t there no clarification even after such a big incident? Young people should be more flexible in their thinking.

[Don’t you think the recent policy has been very liberal with regard to ghost-themed themes, which were previously restricted? More than 100 related films were made this year alone.]

[Some of them are even provincial key projects and key support projects of China]

[You mean... these operations are to give us a heads-up, to pave the way for telling us later that there are really ghosts in this world? 】

[Not only that, I am a metaphysician. I don't know if it is due to the influence of Ghost Month, but I always feel that it is becoming increasingly difficult to subdue ghosts nowadays... I guess the higher-ups may have discovered the reason, so they are starting to prepare for a rainy day. I hope it doesn't get to that point. If it is what I think, it will likely turn into a global disaster.]

[Hiss, I am not well educated, so don’t scare me! 】

[The person is numb. As we all know, when people are scared, they will die! 】

Some people have already believed these well-founded statements with some reservations, but others insist that they are exaggerating.

Therefore, it is another lively pot of porridge.
