Pan Xiaole saw Beiyue looking at the chicken in her hand in a daze, and pushed her, "Mi'er, what do you look at if you don't eat?" No matter how you look at it, this chicken won't become swan meat." ”

Beiyue was pushed back to his senses, and found that everyone at the table was looking at him, so he smiled and said, "I thought of some of the past, and I was distracted." Eat quickly, rest quickly after eating, there are many things to do tomorrow. ”

Pan Xiaole flattened his mouth and pulled two mouthfuls of rice.

After eating quickly, the store brought a few buckets of hot water.

Pan Xiaole showed her Beiyue and Mingtai's room, and led Aunt Zhen to her room, where everyone took a bath.

The Queen Mother has been served for many years, but she is not lazy, she took a bath by herself, and twisted her hair with a handkerchief. I changed into a linen dress and sat by the window to blow the wind.

A few moments later, there was a knock on the door.

Before Mingtai left, she set up an enchantment in this room, and she could only enter but not exit, and she couldn't escape. The one who came to knock on the door at this time is probably Beiyue.

"Come in. The Queen Mother sat by the window and did not move, only said lightly.

Sure enough, it was Beiyue who pushed the door in, holding a box in his hand.

"I was surprised that Aunt Jane had already finished freshening up. Beiyue smiled, unable to hear the mockery.

The Queen Mother smiled, "It's just a shower and a change of clothes, it's so troublesome." ”

Beiyue walked to the table, stopped moving forward, put the box in his hand on the table, and sat down at the table by the way.

"Actually, I want to tell Aunt Zhen to have a good rest, after all, today made you frightened, and it was really hard to drive for a day. "Kitatsuki Road.

The Queen Mother sat still, "The girl has something to say, we all said it at the beginning, and there is no need to detour." ”

"Definitely. Beiyue turned the box in front of him in a different direction and opened his mouth towards the Queen Mother, "Before I came to the East China Sea, I lived in Kunlun for a while, and I came down the mountain directly from Kunlun. ”

Hearing the word "Kunlun", sure enough, the Queen Mother raised her eyebrows.

Beiyue captured this momentary change in her eyes, and thought to herself, she really called herself right.

"I have a teacher in Kunlun who taught me knightly defense spells. Beiyue Hu said, "I'm very old, and I'm called Master Bailan." ”

The Queen Mother of the Shark has not changed much.

Beiyue said again, "You may not know him, but his former teacher, one of the masters of the Kunlun Temple, has traveled to the entire Falling Dust Continent, and has also been to the East China Sea. ”

The Queen Mother's gaze began to become complicated.

His teacher has now returned to the West, but he came to the East China Sea more than 30 years ago, when he was in his seventies. ”

The Queen Mother of the Shark finally couldn't help it, and muttered, "He has been to the East China Sea......"

"Yes, I've been to the East China Sea. Later, he returned to Kunlun and gave the contents of this box to my teacher, and did not say much, only that he would give it to those who had his own destiny in the future.

"Later, my teacher knew that I was coming to the East China Sea, so he gave me this box. I kept it with me, but I didn't understand what it meant.

"I saw the Queen Mother today, and others may think that the Queen Mother loves to eat local chicken and Sixi balls. But in my opinion, the Queen Mother prefers japonica rice. ”

The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, "How can you see it?"

Beiyue also laughed, "Local chicken and meatballs, just eat a few more bites." But the japonica rice in front of you has not a grain of rice left, how can you eat it so clean if you don't like it?"

The Queen Mother bowed, "You are so observant, you have discovered it." ”

It's really not difficult to see, the little girl dared to guess what was in this box, and the Queen Mother must have counted it in her heart. ”

The Queen Mother of the Shark slowly walked to the table and sat down, pressing her fingers on the box, her expression calm. After a moment, her old fingers slowly caressed the embossed pattern on the surface of the box.

Kitatsuki heard her say, "It's been more than 30 years, and I still remember the scene of that day." ”

On that day, far away in the town, she watched from afar as the wind blew and the waves swept across the shore.

The people in the town who saw the waves said that the fishing village on the shore was doomed.

When she heard this, she pulled out her legs and ran in the direction of the village.

It was still raining in the sky, and the icy rain hit his face and back, and it hurt. And she, desperately, endured the pain and ran wildly in the direction of the village.

And when she ran to the village, the whole small fishing village was swept away by the huge waves, and there was not even a log left.

The cabins, the fishing boats, the nets, all were gone.

She didn't even see her last cousin, and her brother was only six years old.

A headless and brainless wave swept over her, and she lost everything.

She sat down on the ground and cried and cried until she lost her strength and passed out.

When she woke up again, she was sitting next to her under a reef with a white beard, lighting a fire and grilling fish.

On the fire, there was also a small iron pot in which a pot of Houttuynia cordata was boiled.

Seeing that she was awake, he didn't say much, just took out a bowl of warm japonica rice from the cloth bag beside him, cut a piece of meat from the grilled fish on the shelf and put it on the rice, pushed it in front of her, and said in a hoarse voice, "Eat, I've been crying for so long, I must be hungry." ”

She held the bowl of japonica rice and ate it with tears in her eyes.

Since then, japonica rice is her lifelong feeling, she doesn't like to eat anything, but likes such a bowl of japonica rice.

After eating that bowl of rice, the old man washed the dishes and put them back in the cloth bag, and said slowly and calmly, "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, everything is fate." Don't be too sad. I peep into the sky at night, you are a good girl, and you will be rich and noble in the future. ”

What he said was so inexplicable that she didn't know much about it at the age of sixteen. I only feel that I am alone and helpless, and I must live a hard life from now on. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but cry again.

The old man touched her head and said with a smile, "Don't cry, tomorrow you will take this pot of houttuynia to the coast for a walk, and you will definitely have some harvest." ”

As for what she had gained, the old man didn't say anything, she lacked energy, and she didn't ask, so she fell asleep in a groggy state.

When he woke up the next day, the old man was gone, leaving only a small pot of Houttuynia cordata.

She remembered the old man's words, carried this small pot of houttuynia to the shore and walked aimlessly, and then met the dying, who was still the husband of the merman prince at that time.

After that, Beiyue knew everything.

That old man is Master Bailan's teacher.

No one knew that the fate he was talking about was actually calculated thirty years later, today, this conversation between Beiyue and the Queen Mother of the Shark.

The white porcelain blue and white bowl in the box stood quietly, and the bundle of ordinary houttuynia next to it had long since lost its fishy smell.

However, the encounter thirty years ago, the japonica rice by the bonfire that night, was like this relief, fiercely burned in the mind of the Queen Mother Merman, and she could not forget it.
