At the beginning of spring, the trees have already recovered, and new shoots have emerged.

As soon as the spring breeze blew, the delicate green buds swayed, as if they were rushing out a little more.

The wind was the most ruthless, and he didn't linger, so he turned his head and crossed the woods, and went to a new love in the distance.

Beyond the woods, there is an endless blue sea.

The wind drifted forward on the surface of the sea, and suddenly something blocked its way, and it staggered on the surface of the sea, stirring up a small wave.

It was a round wooden basin with a small baby carved in pink lying in the basin.

The baby's body was wrapped in a small quilt, but a pair of small hands like lotus roots somehow escaped outside, waving at the sky, and babbling from time to time in the small mouth, as if to greet someone warmly.

But no one responded to his enthusiasm.

The baby entertained himself for a while, but he felt bored, so he gradually became honest.

Maybe he was guilty of spring sleepiness, and after a while, he slept peacefully.

The tub was pushed by the sea breeze and tossed on the sea, and after a few hours, it came to an island with the current.

There are peach trees all over the mountains and fields on the island, and the peach blossoms of one tree are just right, and at first glance, it seems that a huge flame has been ignited on the sea, which is really magnificent.

The baby slept for a long time and finally woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the sky cut by the wooden basin ring, and the clouds that swept by from time to time, were the same as before I fell asleep.

So, in order to express his dissatisfaction, the baby finally used one of his few collars.

The little mouth pouted and cried.

Who knew that the other person was very small, but the cry was very loud, startling a few waterfowl that were hiding in the water grass on the shore flirting and flirting.

Disturbed by this cry, in addition to these water birds, there are also two beautiful girls in raccoon clothes.

The two of them followed the prestige, and at a glance saw the wooden basin stranded on the beach.

They all came together, and saw a beautiful baby lying in the tub, which was not yet a month, and wept so much that she was almost out of breath.

One of the girls, dressed in pink, bent down to pick up the baby, and the crying immediately stopped.

The baby sobbed and opened her eyes, looked at her with tears, and in an instant burst into laughter, which made the girl in pink laugh too.

"Look! He smiled at me, so cute. She lifted a corner of the small quilt wrapped around the baby, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It's a little master." ”

The girl in green glanced at the little baby in her arms, and said with great interest: "In my opinion, you better put him back and let him fend for himself at sea." ”

"Why?" The girl in pink was surprised: "How can you bear to let such a delicate and handsome baby die in the belly of a fish?" ”

The girl in green said, "What can you do if you can't bear it?" Take him back and raise him? ”

The girl in pink replied, "Why not? ”

"Why are you so stupid?" The girl in green looked around and saw that there was no one around, but she still lowered her voice and said, "It has been more than two months since Madame died in childbirth, but the owner of the island still uses wine to drown his sorrows every night, and his grief has not diminished a little. In such a situation, do you think he would agree to adopt a baby of unknown origin? ”

The girl in pink tilted her head and thought about it, feeling that what the girl in green said was true, but looking at the baby who was eating her hair with relish in her arms, she couldn't bear it. Although she was never married, let alone childbearing, a woman's natural motherhood made it impossible for her to watch a small living life die.

She was bored for a long time before she said, "I don't think so." Although the owner of the island did not say it explicitly, you and I both know that when the young lady was just born, the owner of the island was a little disappointed. He always hoped that his wife would bear him a son, so that he could inherit his mantle in the future. Practicing martial arts, women are not as talented as men. Perhaps, it was the lady who felt the spirit in the sky and sent this child to make up for the regret of the island owner. ”

The girl in green snorted coldly and said, "You don't have to be strong here. Who doesn't know up and down the entire Peach Blossom Island, but the owner of the island puts Sister Rong on the tip of his heart. ”

The girl in pink said disapprerovingly: "Don't pretend to be confused, the owner of the island loves Sister Rong, most likely because of his wife......"

"Shut up!" The girl in green reprimanded: "Dare to say such things, I see that you are really impatient, beware of the island owner cutting your tongue and throwing it into the sea to feed the sharks!" ”

The girl in pink knew that she was speechless, and said in a panic: "Good sister, I am confused, and I don't dare to talk nonsense like this anymore." ”

The girl in green looked angry and asked in a cold voice, "Let me ask you again, do you insist on taking him back?" ”

The girl in pink nodded firmly.

The girl in green sighed and said, "Okay, since you insist on doing so, it's inconvenient for me to stop you." There is only one thing, this baby has nothing to do with me, and if the owner of the island is held accountable, you need to bear it. ”

The girl in pink didn't care, and said with a smile: "You should be like this." ”

The green-clothed girl said again: "The island owner should be in Sister Rong's room at this time, if you ask him, now is the best time." ”

The girl in pink smiled: "What my sister said is reasonable, let's go back now." ”

The girl in green nodded and took the lead.

When she returned to her residence, the girl in pink inquired about the little maid who sprinkled the sweep, and sure enough, she learned that the owner of the island was in Sister Rong's room at this time.

The little maid saw the baby in the arms of the girl in pink at a glance, and couldn't help but throw the broom and come up, "Oh, what a beautiful child." Sister Yunying, why did she go out to wash her clothes and give birth to a child? ”

The pink-clothed girl who was called Cloud Shadow said angrily: "Go and go, what to say, sweep your floor well." ”

The little maid picked up the broom, followed behind Yunying, and said, "Sister, seriously, where did this child come from?" ”

"Picked it up." Yun Ying smiled: "Is it really that I was born by myself?" ”

"Oh." The little maid was puzzled: "Then what are you ......doing now?"

Yun Ying said: "I went to beg the island master to adopt this child. ”

"What?" The little maid was taken aback and said, "Sister, you can't help it......"

Yun Ying stopped her and said with a smile: "Sister Fei Kite has already finished speaking. I have made up my mind, and I don't need to persuade again. ”

After that, Yun Yingtou left without looking back.

The little maid was stunned for a long time, then turned around and ran away.

Yun Yingjing came to Sister Rong's room and couldn't help but stand in the courtyard a little hesitant.

The owner's temper has always been strange and elusive, and it is said that he is famous not only in Peach Blossom Island, but also in the entire rivers and lakes.

Yun Ying once heard Wang Weng, who was in charge of purchasing supplies from outside the island, say that the owner of the island, Huang Yaoshi, has a not-so-elegant name in the rivers and lakes, called "Huang Lao Xie".

Yun Ying felt that this name was not appropriate.

The owner of the island is evil, but he is not old, and even in his prime.

Maybe it's because of his martial arts practice, although he is over thirty years old, his face looks like a twenty-year-old youth, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, and he is very handsome. If you put on a white dress again, and stand on the peak of your fingers, the wind wraps around your clothes, and you are a fairy-like figure, which makes people can't take their eyes off.

Yun Ying often thinks that Madame must have accumulated great blessings in her previous life, so that she can marry a man like the island owner in this life, and she has also received his deep affection. Although he died early, his life was not in vain. In other words, as long as she can be cherished by the island owner for a day, she will die without regrets.

But she was destined not to be so blessed.

"Who's standing outside?"

Yun Ying was awakened by the sound of the sound in the house, and hurriedly replied, "Return to the island master, slave Yun Ying." ”

Huang Yaoshi's low and deep voice came from the propped up window, "Rong'er is hungry, call the nurse." ”

Yunying hurriedly answered "yes", hurriedly went to invite the nurse, and then followed the nurse into the house.

As soon as the nurse entered the house, she took a baby from Huang Yaoshi's hand, turned around and went to the inner room to breastfeed.

Yun Ying held the child in his arms, standing by the door with low eyebrows, but the corner of his eyes kept looking in the direction where Huang Yaoshi was, waiting for the opportunity to speak.

The child, who had been quiet on Yunying's shoulder for a long time, seemed to be attracted by the beaded curtain hanging on the door, and suddenly reached out a small hand and tried to pull the beaded curtain. It's a pity that his hands are too short to reach at all, and he can't help but let out a series of dissatisfied babbling sounds.

Huang Yaoshi turned his head to look at them.

Yun Ying's heart suddenly beat like a drum, his legs went limp, and he almost stepped back.

But she didn't.

Before Huang Yaoshi opened his mouth to ask, Yun Ying plucked up his courage and took the lead in speaking: "Master Qiyu Island, when the slave maid went to the beach to make clothes today, she suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying on the sea. The slave saw that the baby was born of Yuxue cute, and couldn't bear to bury him in the belly of the fish, so she took him back, and came to ask the island owner, hoping that the island owner would be gracious, take in the child, and give him a way to live. ”

Huang Yaoshi leaned on the soft collapse, supported his head with his left hand, and picked up a book resting on several cases with his right hand, his face was full of joy and anger, "Tell me, why do I want to give him a way to live?" ”

Fang Cai's words had almost exhausted Yun Ying's limited courage and wisdom, and when Huang Yaoshi asked like this, Yun Ying's mind was suddenly in chaos, and he couldn't piece together a complete sentence to answer Huang Yaoshi's question.

But she had to say something, for the sake of the child in her arms.

As if a flash of inspiration, two sentences of hearsay from childhood suddenly popped up in my mind, and it seemed very appropriate to answer the island owner's question, so he blurted out: "God has the virtue of a good life......

Unexpectedly, as soon as she spoke, Huang Yaoshi suddenly became angry, and smashed the book in his hand with his hand, which could be found at Yunying's feet.

Yunying was so frightened that he subconsciously hugged the baby in his arms, and then fell to his knees with a thud, tears gushing out involuntarily.

"It's a good saying, 'God has the virtue of a good life'." Huang Yaoshi smiled slightly, but there was no anger in his voice, he only felt empty and lonely, as if he was the only one left in the world, and he expressed his heart directly to the barren sky, "If it really has the 'virtue of a good life', it will not take Yu'er away from me." ”

Hearing Huang Yaoshi mention his wife Feng Yu, Yun Ying's heart suddenly filled with boundless despair.

For Huang Yaoshi, Feng Yu's death was an insurmountable barrier. As long as he thinks of Feng Yu's death, he can't wait to destroy the world. What little mercy he had vanished in the face of the great loss of his wife.

Yun Ying's heart ached, I don't know if it was for the fate of the baby in her arms, or for Huang Yaoshi......

For some reason, she suddenly stopped being afraid.

Leaning over and gently resting the baby in his arms on the ground, Yun Ying kowtowed three times at Huang Yaoshi, and when he straightened up again, the corners of his forehead were already stained with blood.

For the first time in her life, she looked directly at Huang Yaoshi's face, and said sonorously: "I am willing to exchange my life for this child's life." ”

"Oh?" Huang Yaoshi looked at Yun Ying, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he seemed to find it very interesting, "It's fair to exchange life for life." ”

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Yun Ying was happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

Her gaze lingered unscrupulously on Huang Yaoshi's face with a slight smile, and her heart was sad and satisfied.

I didn't think that at the end of this life, I could still get the attention and smile of the island owner.

That's enough.

Yun Ying slowly stood up, saluted Huang Yaoshi's Nana, smiled with his eyebrows, and said word by word: "Slave Yun Ying, farewell to the island master." ”

After speaking, she hit her head on the corner of the case beside Huang Yaoshi, and immediately bled profusely, and she fell to the ground, lifeless.

After the nurse finished feeding, she came out of the room with Huang Rong who was asleep, and when she saw this scene, she screamed in fright, her hands also lost her strength, and Huang Rong in her hands fell in response.

The nurse was horrified in her heart, and hurriedly reached out to fish, but Huang Rong had already fallen into the hands of Huang Yaoshi.

Knowing that she had committed a capital crime, the nurse threw herself on her knees, and the whole person fell to the ground, and she did not dare to beg for mercy, but trembled.

Huang Yaoshi took Huang Rong in his arms, and seeing that she was still asleep peacefully, he said lightly: "Go and bring the child on the ground to me to see." ”

The nurse hurriedly crawled on her knees, picked up the baby from the ground, and approached Huang Yaoshi to inspect him.

Huang Yaoshi looked at him, he also opened his big black eyes, and looked at Huang Yaoshi drippingly.

Huang Yaoshi frowned quietly, but the baby suddenly giggled, and opened two small short arms like lotus roots, begging for a hug without reserve.

Huang Yaoshi turned around indifferently, came to the side of the bed, bent down and put Huang Rong on the bed, "Search his body." ”

When Huang Yaoshi turned around, the nurse had already quickly searched out a note from the small quilt wrapped around the baby, and respectfully handed it to Huang Yaoshi.

On the note, two lines of words were written in upright hairpin letters:

Leaf cream.

In the year of Wuchen, the month of Jiayin, the day of the sun.

It was the baby's name and birthdate.

Huang Yaoshi said, "Give him to me." ”

The nurse obeyed the order and handed the child over.

Huang Yaoshi took the child into his arms, but the child didn't recognize life at all, and snuggled in Huang Yaoshi's arms and smiled very brightly.

Huang Yaoshi was extremely rare, for the first time since Feng Yu's death, he really laughed out loud.

He touched the child's fair and tender cheeks and said, "Shuang'er, I'm Daddy." ”
