Three days later, a harbor.
Salina hid under the sea and drank the red magic potion. Suddenly, great pain enveloped her. Her face turned pale and she broke out in cold sweat.
Chu Qi swam behind her and supported her body to prevent her from sinking further due to being motionless.
“Woo.”
Salina bit her index finger tightly to prevent herself from screaming, and her red fishtail was surrounded by a pure white halo.
The magic contained in the halo is working hard to transform her body.
The little mermaid's body convulsed, and she couldn't help curling up and sobbing. The tall human behind her hugged her body with pity.
Salina couldn't help but open her mouth and bite the clothes in front of her. Her sharp teeth penetrated the thin fabric and scraped the man's flesh.
A little bit of blood floated upward along with the sea water.
"hiss."
Chu Qi frowned, but hugged him even tighter.
After about three minutes, the pain in the fishtail leg gradually subsided.
Salina's face began to turn red. She opened her eyes and found several bite marks on Chu Qi's chest.
She felt a little guilty.
I didn't expect that this man wouldn't let go of my hand even after all this...
Salina felt warm in her heart, and she licked Chu Qi's wound with the tip of her tongue.
The mermaid's unique saliva quickly healed the man's slightly bleeding wound, leaving only a few shallow scars.
Chu Qi felt a tingling sensation in her chest.
She lowered her head and looked at the little princess, and found that she seemed to be fine, so she asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
"It feels weird." Salina moved her legs.
Unlike the fish's tail that can swim freely, she finds human legs very awkward to use.
Salina couldn't get used to this change and couldn't help but frown in distress.
"You'll get used to it if you use it more often." Chu Qi comforted.
"Um."
Salina nodded, "Let's go ashore first."
...
The two did not choose to go ashore near the palace, but decided to return to Chu Qi's home in this life first.
Jinyu Kingdom is a neighboring country of Jinling Kingdom, and the original owner was a citizen of Jinling Kingdom.
If you want to enter Jinling Country, you must first get a passport, otherwise it would be considered smuggling.
Stowaways, let alone getting ashore, might be discovered by soldiers as soon as they approach the dock, and then shot without any explanation...
An ordinary farmyard.
The wall is made of earth and stones. When you open the door, you can see three houses.
The main house facing the courtyard is slightly larger than the two adjacent ones.
The room on the left is the original owner's room, and the room on the right is the kitchen.
The kitchen is not big. One side is used for cooking and the other side is used for eating at the table.
Chu Qi helped Salina, who was unable to walk properly, into the yard and let her sit on a stone pier in the yard to rest first.
I looked around but saw no one.
On weekdays, the original owner's mother liked to sit in the yard and do needlework during the day to supplement the family income.
My younger sister would also help with housework when she got home from school.
"Mom! Are you home?"
Chu Qi spoke loudly, checking each room one by one.
After searching every room but finding no one, Chu Qi frowned and wondered if the mother and daughter had gone to the market.
"Salina, I'm going to look for my mother. Can you wait here for me?"
Chu Qi squatted down and looked at the little princess at eye level.
"Okay." Salina nodded, and her red eyes blinked slightly, filled with fine soft light.
....
Chu Qi searched for places her mother might have gone in her memory, but couldn't find her.
Passing by the river, she saw a few old ladies washing clothes, so she went over and asked, "Aunt Lin, have you seen my mother?"
"Wow! Nephew, where have you been these days? Why did you come back just now?"
The lady being questioned adjusted her glasses and said in surprise.
"I was in a shipwreck and luckily escaped. Look, I was just rescued today."
Chu Qi said casually.
"You're back just in time. Your uncle is going to sell your sister. Go and save her."
The old lady suddenly remembered something and said quickly, "It's not too late to go now. If it's too late, you might not be able to see him."
Chu Qi's face changed and she immediately rushed to her uncle's house.
I saw that the door of my uncle's house was wide open. Three men were standing inside, surrounding a still charming woman and a little girl, and I didn't know what they were talking about.
Chu Qi strode in, squeezed in, helped the woman and the little girl up, and asked, "Mom, what happened? I heard someone say that someone wanted to sell my sister?"
Seeing Chu Qi, the mother was stunned, "Huzi, you are back..."
"Brother!" The little girl had tears in her eyes and hugged Chu Qi's thighs. She could no longer hold back the tears and they flowed down her eyes.
"Wow, brother, I miss you so much..."
"Brother is back late."
Chu Qi felt a little sad. She bent down, held the little girl's armpits, picked her up, and let her sit on her forearms.
Unfriendly looks fell on the other three men.
Before Chu Qi could ask, her mother choked up and told the story:
"My uncle saw that you were not at home, so he wanted to forcefully sell our daughter to these two old bachelors as a child bride..."
Chu Qi looked at the fat uncle and the other two skinny old men and smiled grimly:
"Child trafficking is a serious crime, and selling someone else's child is an even more serious crime. You guys don't want to go to jail, do you?"
In fact, Chu Qi didn't know what the laws of Jinling Country were like.
However, it does not stop her from waving the banner.
Hearing that he was going to jail, and looking at Chu Qi's sturdy figure, the uncle got scared and asked with his neck stiff:
"What do you want?"
"Compensate us for our mental damages."
When you hear that you want money, you can't get it.
The two old bachelors looked at each other and then ran away.
Chu Qi put her sister down, chased after them, kicked one down, and grabbed another with her big hand.
They pinned the two men to the ground and beat them up, causing them to scream in pain. They were not allowed to go until they paid money.
The uncle saw the miserable condition of the two people.
Then he looked at his nephew walking towards him with a fierce smile, and his knees went weak, and he quickly shouted:
"Pay compensation, I will pay compensation!!"
Chu Qi rubbed his fists. It would have been better if this had been done earlier. He had to resort to force to solve the problem. His fists hurt.
There were three people. The two old bachelors paid 5,000 yuan in compensation, and the uncle paid 3,000 yuan in compensation.
It is equivalent to the price of the original owner’s two voyages to sea.
Now, I have enough money for the trip.
Chu Qi was very satisfied and took the mother and daughter back home. Chu Qi introduced Salina to the mother and daughter and said that she was his wife.
On the way, she and Salina discussed that Salina was an illegal resident, and if she wanted to go to the Kingdom of Jinyu openly, she must first have an ID card.
In Jinling Country, the quickest way to get married is to have an ID card, because you can register the other party's household registration.
The next day, Chu Qi and Salina got their marriage certificate, applied for passports, and bought boat tickets to the Kingdom of Jinyu.
On the third day, Chu Qi said goodbye to her mother and took Salina on a ship to the Kingdom of Jinyu.
On the fourth day, we arrived at the Kingdom of Jinyu.
Salina got off the boat and came to the outside of the palace with Chu Qi. They used magic potions to enhance their perception and indeed sensed that Linda was in the palace.
