Facing Qi Yan's particularly worried words and eyes, Kerry smiled, and that sweet look was lingeringly locked on Qi Yan's delicate face.
"Don't worry, I won't sit and wait for death."
Qi Yan stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said: "Kerry, you said you would never lie to me."
Kerry's eyes flashed with a moment of guilt, but it was only a moment, and he himself did not even notice it.
"Of course, I will never lie to you."
Qi Yan jumped into the sea after getting the answer and swam to the depths. Kerry stood on the reef until the sunlight fell from the sea, the dimness turned into darkness, and the sea was still silent, without any sound, and he slowly moved his stiff legs.
- Sorry, I'm going to break my promise.
The Queen's decree came down soon. Count Cli Hilal obtained the earldom by improper means, and killed the old earl, exiled his own brother, and deceived the feelings and sincerity of the Holy Lady of Light. He was guilty of a serious crime and was sentenced to hanging.
Hanging, a rope ends life.
Cli was imprisoned in the round tower at the side door.
Life is here, and death is here.
"Do you have anything to say?"
Nasha appeared at some point, wearing a noble church robe that highlighted her beautiful figure.
Cli didn't even want to look up at her, silently stroking the light blue fish scales. That was when Qi Yan slept in his bed that night, and was naturally removed when he was taken away by him.
Light blue...his favorite color.
Nasha was not angry after being ignored. She stepped into the small house and chuckled: "Chris, do you regret it? You gave up so much for a man."
If you were good at pretending, you wouldn't end up like this.
"I heard that you let the mermaid go?" Nasha stroked the silver utensils on the counter: "Tom searched the entire castle and couldn't find the mermaid... Oh, by the way, you don't know yet, I'm going to marry Tom, and I'm still the Countess."
"From the beginning to the end, it's only you who has failed miserably."
"Chris, there is no regret medicine in the world."
...
Nasha's declaration was just to emphasize how good her life was. Tom, Clay's mortal enemy, now naturally became the earl and married the Saint of Light. Everything was just like Clay's experience before, except...
Clay was replaced by Tom.
This is the most infuriating thing.
Maybe Clay really doesn't care, and everything he does is a failure in the eyes of others. But only he knows that in this boring life, that touch of light blue is the light of his life.
The day of execution came soon. The hanging rack was set above the sea, because once the partition door was released, the prisoner's feet would be suspended in the air. It was inevitable that some accomplices would tamper with the partition door, making it impossible for the prisoner to die smoothly. Therefore, Erli City, which is surrounded by the sea, set up the gallows on the sea. Even if the bulkhead was tampered with and there was only the sea after it was lowered, it still could not alleviate the execution.
Maybe Cary was lucky, because he saw the sea and the blue color he loved most when he was dying.
Although, he really wanted to see Qi Yan. But now it is better not to see him in public.
Cary thought with regret in his heart, and was pushed to sit on the boat, heading all the way to the gallows.
Looking at the gallows getting closer and closer, Cary felt unusually calm in his heart, he had never been so calm before. It was like a dying man, wandering at the door of hell, simply thinking that as long as the door was opened, everything would be over.
At that moment, Kerry was looking forward to death.
- Ah Yan, if there is an afterlife... I will listen to you, leave this circle, and live an ordinary life.
[Kerry's favorability towards Qi Yan +10, current favorability: 90]
Something is missing, there should be something missing.
The hemp rope as thick as a baby's wrist was tied around his neck. Kerry seemed to hear the insults of the citizens on the shore, but they were all very vague because the sound of the rolling tide confused everything.
The fresh smell of the ocean came, Kerry took a deep breath, as if he could smell Ah Yan's scent.
Ah Yan... I miss you so much.
"Hmph, you are quite calm!" The person next to him snorted, his face full of contempt: "When your eyeballs are hung out, I will tell you that you will not be so calm anymore!"
The hemp rope around his neck was tightened, and as long as the partition under his feet was lowered, death would only be a matter of time.
"You look quite fair, how could you have such a vicious heart!" The man sighed with regret, stretched out his hand to hold the rope of the partition, and pulled hard with a sigh.
With a "pop", the partition fell from both sides, and Kerry's feet were hanging in the air, but the hemp rope around his neck was pulling him, making his face flushed in an instant.
The face of being hanged was not very good-looking, rolling his eyes, and kicking his legs unconsciously.
At first, I could still hear the laughter of people around me, but then it all turned into a harsh sound and I couldn't hear it anymore.
Chris lost consciousness and his life was gradually slipping away.
A person's life seems to be so short.
The three executioners laughed wantonly, as they loved to see people die.
Suddenly, one of the bald men looked at the depths of the sea with depression. There seemed to be something strange behind the rolling waves.
"Hey! Look over there!"
The other two looked in the direction he pointed, but saw nothing: "What are you looking at?"
"There's something there!"
"What's that blue thing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, many mermaids suddenly jumped up from behind the rolling waves!
The mermaids' low roars were also piercing. They rushed over with a roar, frightening the three men so much that they retreated one after another. In a panic, they climbed onto the boat and paddled towards the shore with all their might.
The people on the shore naturally saw this sight. One mermaid was pleasing to the eye, two mermaids were not too many... but what about hundreds or thousands?
The waves raised by the mermaids were already higher than the gallows, and they were still rising at this time, with no intention of hitting them down. If they continued to rise like this, when they reached the shore, the waves would wash away part of the city of Erli!
People ran away screaming. Nasha and Tom were also stunned. They retreated back to the city under the protection of the housekeeper.
The high city walls blocked the view outside. They trembled and waited for the flood to come. Some old people knelt on the ground, praying that the sea king would not blame them and use their faith to influence God.
More than ten minutes passed, and the flood did not come. The citizens walked out of the city gate one by one in confusion and found that the sea was as calm as before, without any signs of strong winds and waves.
Others were puzzled. They had just seen such big waves, even higher than the city walls.
"Hey! Look!"
Just when everyone was puzzled, a child suddenly pointed in the direction of the gallows, and the childish voice was full of curiosity: "The Sea King rescued the man!"
Others looked over and saw that the gallows was still there, and the noose was still there, but Chris, who should have been hanged, was nowhere to be found.
Everyone sighed. They didn't expect that such a man was blessed by the Sea King.
Nasha and Tom bit their silver teeth. They knew that the one who rescued Chris was not the Sea King, but the mermaid named Qi Yan!
Unfortunately, once they were rescued, they were rescued. Who would look for their traces?
Dopa Town, a small seaside town.
The people here are all self-sufficient. They eat the fish they catch and drink the green water between the green mountains. It is surrounded by the sea on one side and mountains on the other.
Although this small place is a border town that Erli City does not value, it is unusually peaceful and happy.
In the early morning, Qi Yan bought some fruits from the merchant, carried two big fish with thick meat, and walked back to the small two-story building with a faint smile on his face.
The landlord was a fat woman in her fifties who ran a bakery. The original house was rented to Qi Yan, and the bakery was next to it.
Qi Yan went to the bakery first and ordered two fruit tarts.
"Oh, Xiaoyan is still so virtuous." The landlord's wife smiled, and her five-year-old son echoed: "Very virtuous, virtuous!"
Qi Yan bent down, touched the child's head, took out an apple from the bag and handed it to him: "Go and eat it."
The child smiled, picked up the fruit and ran away.
Standing up, Qi Yan looked at the landlady, his tone full of sincerity: "Madam, I think we will live here forever."
The landlady looked at him in agreement, her eyebrows slightly raised: "We should have settled down a long time ago."
"You know, Chris and I are both very special."
"It doesn't matter, people in the town never care about these." The landlady smiled kindly: "Maybe they all know, maybe they don't know. But now, they only care whether you will continue to tell the fishermen the direction of the sea, and whether Chris will continue to teach the children to read."
Qi Yan smiled, very happily.
"Of course, we will continue to do this."
Back to the small building, Qi Yan returned to the bedroom and found that Chris was still sleeping soundly, so he walked over and sat by the bed, gently stroking his cheek.
Before he could withdraw his hand, Qi Yan's hand was grabbed.
"Ah Yan, you're back..." Kerry rubbed the jade-like smooth hand, and then kissed it gently.
Qi Yan patted his cheek gently: "It's time to get up, eat, and the children will be here."
Kerry nodded, sat up from the bed, and felt the dazzling sunlight through the window and fell on his face.
——It's amazing, a month ago, he was still a death row prisoner who was about to be hanged.
"The sun is so nice." Kerry got out of bed, came behind Qi Yan, and hugged him tightly: "Ah Yan, thank you."
Thank you for saving me, thank you for not giving up on me.
Qi Yan touched his hand around his waist, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Then pay me back in your lifetime."
