Before falling asleep, Han Xiaoying recalled Ling Suxue's expression when she spoke just now, revealing a breath of parting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info She tossed back and forth in her mind several more times, and finally fell asleep in a blur.

In the dream, Lingsu Xue went away with her baggage.

Unexpectedly, three days later, the hut really no longer existed for her.

The morning light was sparse, Han Xiaoying twisted a basket of rouge, looked at Ling Mubing, who was drinking tea slowly and leisurely in front of the table, and said, "Sister Mu Bing, where did Su Xue go?" When will she come back? ”

"She went to her relatives, and it's not certain when she will come back." Ling Mubing said indifferently. Recently, the bigger her belly, the worse the quality of sleep, so she got up and boiled a pot of tea before dawn.

When Han Xiaoying heard this, a sense of responsibility came to her heart, and she said with a serious expression: "Su Xue is not here, Sister Mu Bing, I will take good care of you." ”

So she hurried home after selling rouge, not only reducing the chance of a tryst with Bai Gongzi, but also bringing back a bag of appetizing preserved sour fruits from the county every time. And while Ling Mubing was eating and drinking, he diligently lit a fire to cook and clean the yard.

Whenever Ling Mubing asked her to stop and rest for a while, Han Xiaoying wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with her sleeve and grinned: "Anyway, sooner or later, I will have to start a family and serve my father-in-law, so I will use you to practice my hands first, and I won't be laughed at by my in-laws when I am proficient." ”

She already has a heart to be married, just waiting for Bai Gongzi to marry her. So with the nourishment of love, she was full of energy in everything she did, but she stopped and watched Ling Mubing standing alone with her stomach upright, and it was not a taste in her heart. I inevitably have to wonder who this child's father is? Why is it so ruthless that he has not come to visit?

But the protagonist doesn't mention it, and she doesn't mention it either. The days just went by like this, day by day.

And Lingsuxue, according to the map sent to the thatched hut by the jade pear to the spirit bird, is already on the way to the realm of the North Coast. She didn't carry much with her, so she hurried every day, hoping to reach the inhabited mountain village before nightfall. It is better to have a good heart to leave her for a night, and if you can't meet her, you will sleep next to the cold wall under the eaves than to feed the wolves in the wilderness.

It is to walk and rest like this, pick and eat wild fruits when she sees them, fill them with water bladders when she sees clear springs, and bathe when she is greasy when she encounters river water.

At this time, she was like a wildflower exposed to the wind and sun, with a dark complexion and ragged clothes standing in front of the snow-white waves, grinning for the first time in a long time: "I finally saw the sea." ”

Once at the sea, the journey is two-thirds complete, and then you only need to take a boat out to sea and follow the map, and you will arrive at the deep sea Kirishima in a few days. So Lingsuxue washed herself on the salty sea by the sea, and then came to a nearby fishing village with a neat and full spirit, and found an old lady with a kind face who was weaving fishing nets and asked where there were fishing boats willing to go to sea.

However, the accents vary greatly depending on the region. Fortunately, the eldest lady was kind and patient, and after watching Ling Suxue compare for a while, she finally understood what she meant. Shaking his head lamentingly, he gestured in a local language he did not understand, "The sea has not been quiet lately, and few fishermen are willing to go to the deep sea, so you should go back quickly, girl." ”

The old lady waved her hand and motioned for Ling Suxue to go back quickly.

Ling Suxue hurriedly took out all the silver in the bag, and gestured pleadingly: "I'll give you all the silver, and you can help find someone who can go to sea." ”

The old lady still shook her head and lamented. She has been weaving nets and drying fish here for many years, and she knows how fishermen go to sea, so she can't really help much. And she mistakenly thought that the white-haired sick girl in front of her went to sea to bury the rest of her life in the sea, so she would not agree to help find someone. So he impatiently pushed Ling Suxue and drove away: "It's not easy for a girl to live in the world, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family." And the deep sea is so dangerous, it's not a joke, it may never return. ”

She crackled and said a bunch of things, and Ling Suxue was ignorant when she heard it. Finally grasping a kind person, she didn't want to give up, so she used her fingers to write on the soft and uneven mud and sand on the ground.

Although the accents are different, the words are very different. So she endured the pain of the mud and sand grinding through the skin, and wrote down what happened to her in one breath.

Coincidentally, a knowledgeable teenager happened to come home from school with a book, and when he saw the paperwork in one place, he clapped his hands and praised: "My sister's words are so delicate!" ”

The eldest lady was illiterate and illiterate, like reading a book from heaven, and hurriedly called the young man next to her: "Young man, what do you want to read what she wrote?" ”

The boy skimmed through it cursoryly, coughed twice to clear his throat, and said like a textbook: "My beloved man lost his legs in the war, and I heard that there is a fog island in the depths of the North Sea, on which grows a tree of wisdom that can fulfill people's wishes, so I want to find that tree to help my lover restore his legs." ”

There is not much content, but Ling Suxue has drawn a whole large amount of space. When she finished the last stroke, she looked at the old lady with tears in her eyes, ignoring the blood flowing from her index finger. After the old lady said a few words to the boy.

The young man conveyed in a standard official accent: "Sister, Aunt Wang said that her family has an idle old boat, if you don't dislike it, you can row the old boat to find the Wisdom Tree by yourself." But she still wants to persuade you, rumors are just rumors, don't go into the deep sea and can't come back, so you must think carefully. ”

Ling Suxue replied without hesitation: "I have made up my mind, and I will never go home here, so thank you for your concern." ”

The young man translated what she said into the local vernacular and told the old lady as it was.

The old lady looked at Lingsuxue with pity and helped her up from the ground, then held her hand tightly, and led her into her old house built of stone and earth, and after making a fire and making a few large dried fish and some easy-to-carry cakes, she instructed her able-bodied son to drag the old boat abandoned at the end of the village into the sea again.

When parting, the old lady looked at Lingsu Xue who was holding the oars, waved goodbye with tears: "Girl, if you see a strong wind and waves ahead, come back quickly, life safety is the most important ......"

She also said something that Ling Suxue didn't understand, but she could generally feel that she was very worried, so she waved her hand and laughed strongly, urging her to go home quickly. After a lingering parting, the lonely boat finally staggered away from the shoreline and gradually sailed towards the depths of the blue and soft white ocean.

Perhaps it was the mercy of the heavens, the boat sailed very smoothly, and Lingxue did not work hard, and the boat easily rowed for thousands of miles, and the coastline became blurred.

Ling Suxue ate two pieces of bread, and paddled for a while, the sea water became clearer and bluer, as if it had reached the deep sea.
