Chapter 232 A word is final
Gu Qingyuan looked at Ling Yu's happy expression and couldn't help but be infected by him.
During the past few days in southern Xinjiang, she was worried about the victims every day and had not had a good rest for some time.
But seeing Lingyu so carefree, she suddenly felt a little envious of him.
At this time, Lingyu was still lying in her arms. After knowing that he had a name, he felt that he was one step closer to human beings.
"Qingyuan."
Gu Qingyuan only heard him speaking in a muffled voice while lying in her arms.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
He raised his head and smiled at her again, and couldn't help repeating: "I have my own name too!"
The fish's tail hung on the ground, covered in dirt, but he didn't care at all.
"Yes." Gu Qingyuan responded to him, holding him and slowly walked to the river.
She first put him on the ground, then sat down herself, and Lingyu followed her example, only he put his tail in the water.
The tail of the ling fish is very flexible. It moved a few times in the water, stirring the water surface.
"By the way, that carp tried to escape last time, but I pinned it down."
Ling Yu said this with a proud look on his face, asking for Gu Qingyuan's praise as if to take credit.
"Carp?" Gu Qingyuan thought about it and remembered the 20-pound fat carp that could predict the weather.
"I originally said I'd catch it for you to eat," Lingyu said, his face suddenly showing some disappointment, "but since it seems to be of some use, I won't eat it. Do you want to eat another fish? I'll go catch it for you."
Seeing that he was about to dive into the river to catch fish for her, Gu Qingyuan quickly grabbed his arm and shook her head, saying, "No need, I don't want to eat fish now."
The most important thing is that she doesn't want to eat raw fish!
If you eat it, there might be parasites in your stomach.
The mermaid's upper body was naked, and his skin was so white that it seemed to reflect light in the moonlight.
"Are you cold?" Gu Qingyuan suddenly asked him.
"It's not cold."
Lingyu answered with some surprise.
He has always lived in water. Even in the cold winter when the water surface is frozen, it is still warm under the water. The water temperature is just right for him to survive.
Gu Qingyuan gestured at him. Lingyu saw her "pointing fingers" at him and approached her with even more confusion. He asked, "Qingyuan, what are you doing?"
She smiled slightly and said, "I happen to have a dress that was packed by mistake, and I think you can wear it."
Wen Shubai and Ling Yu are of similar build, and it was a long robe, which would just cover Ling Yu's tail when she put it on.
Lingyu thought about it seriously and nodded.
"Do all humans wear clothes?" he asked curiously.
"Yeah, who do you think would come out naked?"
"Then I want to wear it too."
Now Lingyu is committed to moving himself closer to humans. He wants to become like humans and better integrate into the world.
"However, I'm still worried that you might not be able to handle being out of the water for too long."
If I really want to bring the Ling fish back, I'm afraid I'll have to prepare a large water tank in case it arouses suspicion again.
Even if I don't prepare a water tank and let him ride in a carriage with me, I still have to prepare water just in case.
Gu Qingyuan suddenly felt a little regretful for agreeing to Ling Yu's words. Is it too late for her to change her mind now?
I'm afraid he will chase after me even if he uses his tail to walk.
Lingyu's face suddenly fell, as if she would burst into tears in the next second.
"Then you, then are you going to regret it? I don't care, I will follow you wherever you go. If you don't care about me, I will run away and let them arrest me."
Speaking of the latter part, Lingyu was already a little angry.
"No, no, no."
Gu Qingyuan quickly stopped him.
"Don't worry, since we've agreed, I won't abandon you."
The mermaid’s smile instantly returned to her face, and she excitedly hugged her waist, resting her chin on her shoulder.
"It's a deal, don't lie to me."
"Do not lie to you."
Because the two of them were sitting side by side, Ling Yu was hugging her waist from the side. Gu Qingyuan felt that he was hugging her too tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
"Ahem, let go of me first."
She really couldn't breathe.
Seeing that her face seemed to be slowly turning purple, Lingyu quickly let him go, lowered her head, and looked as if she had made a mistake.
"I didn't mean to do that, please don't leave me."
Gu Qingyuan turned her head to look at him and saw that he looked a little panicked.
She sighed helplessly and said, "I'm not that easily angered, and I won't abandon you."
"That's good."
He patted his chest.
When he raised his hand, his long hair moved a little away from his body, and Gu Qingyuan could vaguely see something.
"looking at what?"
Ling Yu noticed that Gu Qingyuan was looking at him and asked.
Gu Qingyuan said with a rare guilty conscience: "No, nothing."
It's just a fish, what is it thinking?
"Is it really nothing?" Ling Yu seemed a little unconvinced.
He sat closer to Gu Qingyuan. Although he had been in the water before, his hair was dry.
Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but grab a handful of his long white hair. In the moonlight, his long hair looked a bit like silver.
When he came closer, her white eyelashes blinked gently.
"Strange, why does it feel like your hair is always dry?"
"is it?"
When Lingyu heard her words, he also touched his hair.
"I'm not sure, but they acted like this when I was in the water."
When approaching Gu Qingyuan, Ling Yu suddenly felt that his heartbeat was abnormal.
He pressed his chest, confusion in his eyes.
Just then, Gu Qingyuan heard footsteps coming from behind her. She turned around and saw that someone seemed to be looking for her.
Gu Qingyuan quickly pushed Ling Yu and pushed him into the river.
"Don't make any noise, and don't come out. It seems someone is looking for me."
Lingyu was a little unhappy after being pushed into the river by her, but when he thought that she was just trying to protect himself, he was no longer angry.
He was in the water, responding to her: "Okay, then you go back."
Gu Qingyuan stood up from the river and started walking back.
On the way back, she saw the man who had come to see her. The man said anxiously, "Master Gu, something bad has happened. Something big happened while you were away!"
"What happened? Why are you so anxious?"
She just came to see Lingyu while everyone was resting. She hadn't been out for long, so how could something happen?
"It's like this. During the day, when we were distributing the medicine, each person with athlete's foot or jock itch was given a bowl of medicine soup. But at night, someone actually stole the medicine. After being caught, they threw away all the medicine!"
"What?" Gu Qingyuan hurried back.
She understood that some people were afraid of death, but she couldn't destroy the medicines that were used to treat people's illnesses.
