Chapter 229 A Little Trick
Chapter 229 A Little Trick
"Are you serious?" The light instantly returned to his eyes, and he happily swam from the river to the shore, once again using his tail to support his body, so that he could be considered to be "standing" in front of her.
Because of his tail, he looked a little shorter than Gu Qingyuan. If he could straighten his tail, he would be about the same height as her.
Gu Qingyuan was almost blinded by the shiny scales on his tail. She thought about it and felt that it would be nice to keep him in a tank at home as a pet.
There was also a ready-made weather forecast fish, which I took back with me.
"I will think about it."
But it was just a thought, she hadn't really decided yet.
Raindrops hit them, and Gu Qingyuan was shocked to realize that he had been out for some time.
Finally, she said to the mermaid, “I will come to see you another time. Now I must go home.”
"Wow, you went back on your word. You said you would take me back."
She could hear him crying and whimpering in her ears, exactly the same sound she heard when she came over.
Gu Qingyuan touched his tail and said, "I can't take you with me right now, but I will definitely come to see you in a couple of days."
"It's a deal then." He held out his little finger as if to pinky promise her.
"no problem."
Gu Qingyuan hooked her pinky finger with his and made a pinky promise with him.
The mermaid jumped happily on the ground.
As for the carp, Gu Qingyuan planned to put it in the river first and ask the mermaid to bring it back next time.
……
When she returned, someone curiously asked Gu Qingyuan where she had been. She just vaguely said that she went out to see if there were any other trapped people, and did not reveal that she had encountered the mermaid.
After all, if other people knew about this, they would probably go fishing for mermaids in the river.
The timid ones might even faint from fright.
His clothes were already wet, so Gu Qingyuan went back to his room to change into dry clothes.
When she opened the package Wen Shubai packed for her and took out the clothes, her expression was subtle.
"This is?"
Gu Qingyuan took out a robe belonging to Wen Shubai from her clothes, which was also his favorite one.
"Could it be that I packed it wrong?"
Otherwise, why would they have packed his clothes here as well?
She stuffed her clothes back under her, found a set of her own clothes, dried her hair and body, and put them on.
The Gu family at this time.
When Yu Shui was cleaning Wen Shubai's room, she asked him curiously, "Master, why do I feel like something is missing?"
Wen Shubai sat by the window, putting the pen to his mouth, looking a little cute.
"Really? I don't think so."
Yu Shui checked the wardrobe again and said, "Master, I remember now. The dress that you used to like the most, which the young master had made for you, is gone."
He thought his master would be very anxious after hearing this. After all, that was the clothes made for him by the young master. He said that whenever he put on that clothes, he could feel her love for him.
But Wen Shubai just sat by the window and nodded gently, "I understand."
"Isn't the master anxious?"
"Not urgent."
Wen Shubai had a leisurely smile on his face.
Of course he knew the dress was missing because he had deliberately "accidentally" packed it into her luggage.
That way, when she's packing and sees her clothes, she'll remember how she looked when she wore them.
Yu Shui suspected that he had heard it wrong. This was totally unlike his master!
If he lost some small item given to him by the young master, he would want to search the whole house.
Today he often wears his favorite piece of clothing, but after losing it, his master actually said, "No rush."
It’s weird.
……
The next day, just as the fish said, it didn't rain during the day, but it started raining again at night.
When Gu Qingyuan went out late at night and got soaked, she went back and touched the clothes she had washed yesterday after getting caught in the rain, and they were not completely dry yet.
She had no choice but to find another set of clothes, and this time she pulled Wen Shubai's clothes out from under her.
When packing her luggage, Wen Shubai folded each of her clothes neatly.
But after Gu Qingyuan finished searching for the clothes, she didn't even think about folding them and putting them back in again. Instead, she stuffed them together in a mess.
When she saw Wen Shubai's clothes again, she folded them on the bed and put them in.
It didn't rain for the next few days.
Gu Qingyuan and the princess gathered all the people in southern Xinjiang together, and after a few days of hard work, the accumulated water was drained to the lower areas.
Those who had seen Gu Qingyuan in the palace saw that her face was full of fear.
They remembered how Gu Qingyuan had set fire before, burning many of their king's things to ashes.
"What are you looking at? I won't eat anyone."
Those people lowered their heads again, not daring to look at her again.
More than half of the people were affected by the flood, and after the flood, many people developed symptoms of diarrhea and fever.
They had been soaked in water for too long and drank a lot of contaminated rainwater, and now the symptoms are starting to show up.
"Young Master Gu, something bad has happened! Another person has fainted from a stomachache."
"Master Gu, many people are starting to have fevers. What should we do next?"
When someone came to report the situation to her, Gu Qingyuan said calmly, "Don't worry. First, arrange for those people who are feeling unwell to be together. After that, follow my instructions and boil the herbs you brought into a soup for them to drink."
Before coming here, she put a lot of herbs on the carriage in order to deal with the physical discomfort that people might experience after the flood.
Gu Qingyuan's voice seemed to have magic. The people who were originally a little uneasy slowly calmed down after hearing her words.
A woman was holding a little girl of about four or five years old. The little girl kept crying and asked, "Mom, will I die?"
The woman frantically tried to comfort her, saying, "Xiaobao is such a good boy, he will be fine."
The little girl's face was a little red and she looked like she had a fever.
Gu Qingyuan reached out and touched her forehead, exclaiming, "It's so hot, put her down quickly and apply a wet towel first."
While the woman went to find a wet towel, Gu Qingyuan hugged the little girl and comforted her.
"Do you think my mother is lying to me?"
Gu Qingyuan smiled at her gently, "Your name is Xiaobao, right? Xiaobao will definitely be fine, I promise."
"really?"
"real."
Gu Qingyuan raised his sleeve to wipe away her tears and waited for the woman to come back.
She personally supervised everyone in boiling the medicine, and after it was ready, she distributed it to the people and asked them to drink it.
Gu Qingyuan didn't get much rest until the evening.
"Go take a rest first, leave this to me."
Because there were not enough herbs, Gu Qingyuan took people to pick some during the day.
Gu Qingyuan shook her head and said, "Your Highness is also tired after a day, I can still hold on."
