In the early spring season, the weather is cloudy and sunny, the first few minutes are still scorching sun, unpredictable clouds shrouded, the sky suddenly sinks without warning, the storm is menacing, overwhelming.

A flash of thunder swept across the sky, intending to split the sky in half, followed by a terrifying roar of thunder.

The unpredictable weather is unpredictable and unguarded.

The crisp clatter of the bean-sized rain on the ground can be clearly heard, accompanied by the sound of rain and thunder, and the footsteps of people rushing to hide from the rain, as well as the sound of shouting.

The wind blew more and more violently, as if it were about to overturn the earth.

It blew people's clothes and hair into a mess, the crops in the fields staggered, even the trees that the grass admired bent over, not to mention the fragile flowers, which had long been destroyed to pieces.

The sudden change in the weather on Blood Spirit Island today made the islanders a little uneasy, could it be that something was foreshadowing?

The girl knelt on the chair, lying on the screen window, and a pair of clear and beautiful phoenix eyes looked out through the window, full of worry and expectation.

"Mother, what about Dad, why haven't they come back?"

"Qing'er, quickly close the screen window and be careful of the thunder outside, you kid is really. ”

A beautiful woman dressed in simple and elegant clothes pulled her up from her chair, said a few words dotingly, and then closed the window and continued: "Your father and the elders went to the Blood Cave to recite the text and refine the jade, I am afraid that I will come back later after this strong wind and rain." ”

This beautiful woman is Tao Muqing's mother-in-law, An Xiurong, kind and virtuous, and with a tenacity that is rare among women.

Tao Muqing's little face was a little sullen, and he read in a low voice: "This good weather can change, people say that women are fickle, I think God is the most fickle." ”

"I also complained about the weather, people have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and the sky is naturally cloudy, sunny and rainy. For her childishness, An smiled dotingly and touched her hair, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Okay, come over and eat." ”

"What about Dad, don't you wait for Dad?" Tao Muqing remembered that her chattering father hadn't eaten yet.

An Shi pretended to be a little jealous, and said with a straight face: "You know your father, and you won't leave your father with a mouth." ”

"That's because my mother is by my side. Tao Muqing's beautiful face was serious, and he said obediently: "If my father is by my side and my mother goes to cultivate flowers, I will always talk to you by my father's side." ”

"I knew that you would coax your mother to be happy, eat quickly, and your father kept it, don't worry. The windows and doors creaked and swayed by the storm, and listening to the whining of the wind outside really worried Ann a little about the flowers.

With such a strong wind, it is estimated that all the flowers have fallen.

Seeing the gloom of the mother, knowing the mother is better than her.

Tao Muqing put a piece of food into her bowl and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, wait for the rain to pass and the sky will be clear, let Dad urge the blood jade to recite the text, and soon they will be all right." ”

"Hu Lai, your father is the owner of Blood Spirit Island, and he is also a chanter, how can his ability be used in these trivial matters. ”

Seeing her puzzled look, An Shi shook his head and said helplessly: "You, in the future, you will be the next Chant Si and the island master, and your father should be scolded carefully when he hears these words." ”

"I don't understand, if you have the ability, why do you watch the flowers and plants die. "Daddy, they just don't know how to be flexible, Tao Muqing can't figure it out.

After thinking about it, he was still a little dissatisfied, and muttered: "Seeing that my father is always pestered by the elders, busy with this and that, and very troublesome, I don't want to be a chanter and an island master." ”

When An Shi heard the displeasure of looking at her with a straight face, he stopped her and said, "Don't say willful words!"

"Why don't my mother hurry up and give me a younger brother or sister, so that they can inherit it?" Tao Muqing's eyes flashed, revealing an innocent smile to tempt.

An's stiff face was amused by her quirky face, and after smiling helplessly, he shook his head and stopped her thoughts and said: "Don't say I don't have it, even if I do, it won't work, this is the responsibility of being the first descendant of the Tao family, and it is a family rule that cannot be changed." ”

"Oh. Tao Muqing responded sullenly, and instantly became energetic when he remembered something.

"What about Cousin Ya'e? Cousin Ya'e is the first descendant of the Tao family, compared to my general interest, Cousin Ya'e is very interested in learning and ......."

"Tao Muqing, if you have the ability, you can tell Lao Tzu again! Lao Tzu is blowing in the wind and rain outside, and you are at home and talking cold!"

With a loud roar, the door was slammed open, and there were two old and young people standing outside.

The roar like a bell that claimed to be Lao Tzu was her father, Tao Hongru, the current owner of the island and the recitation division.

Next to Tao Hongru stood a man of the same age as her, although he was not a beautiful man, he was also a little handsome, giving people a sense of peace of mind and comfort.

An Shi hurriedly greeted them, handed them the cloth towel, and read nervously: "Why don't you hide from the rain and come back?" Xiaoyang also hurriedly wiped it, don't get caught in the cold. ”

"Thank you, auntie. The man politely thanked him and took the cloth towel, and looked at Tao Muqing, who was pretending to be stupid, with a smile while wiping the water droplets.

Tao Hongru's face was originally angry, but when he looked at An's family, he immediately changed to a smile, and Tao Muqing's face was suddenly full of contempt and grievance.

But Tao Hongru only had An Shi in his eyes, he didn't look at her at all, and said softly: "Didn't you say that I would come back to have dinner with you today, so I rushed back as soon as I was done." How do you know that as soon as you come back, you will hear the words that are not angry. As he spoke, he glanced at Tao Muqing.

Tao Muqing pursed her lips and muttered: "Valuing mothers over daughters, being gentle as water to my mother, and being like an iron furnace to me." ”

"If you have half of your mother's knowledge, gentleness, tenacity, sensibility and obedience, Lao Tzu is too lazy to breathe fire on a stove and be angry with Lao Tzu!"

When their father and daughter were about to start talking to each other childishly, An didn't bother to pay attention to them, and said to Xiaoyang: "Xiaoyang, why don't you follow him in the rain, come and eat together." ”

Tao Muqing withdrew his childish lifting with his father, got up with a smile and pulled Shi Shuyang to sit down beside him.

"Shuyang, you have a good mouth today, my mother and she are the best at a few things today. She laughed.

Shu Yang is the son of Elder Shi and grew up with Tao Muqing since childhood. Although she is two years older, the two have always been very close, and they both call their names directly.

Shi Shuyang looked at the dishes on the table, and said with a sweet smile: "Auntie, are there any dishes that you don't like to use?"

"It's still Xiaoyang who understands his aunt and listens when he speaks. Ann happily served him vegetables.

Shi Shuyang looked at Tao Muqing's disdainful eyes and ate happily.

"Madame, what about mine?"

"Mother, what about mine?"

Tao Hongru and Tao Muqing invariably handed the bowl over slightly, and then glanced at each other.

An Shi didn't see it, so he sandwiched another piece for Shi Shuyang, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyang, eat more, it's not enough for your aunt to serve you." ”

"Well, thank you, auntie. Shi Shuyang smiled and watched Tao Muqing take the bowl and puff out his cheeks, and habitually lifted his chopsticks to clip a vegetable for her and put it in the bowl.

Tao Muqing was immediately moved, and he didn't forget to glance at his father proudly, and then smiled at Shuyang: "It's still your best." ”

"All of them are good, but you are not good. Tao Hongru teased and then ordered: "You are almost ready, start to study with me seriously from tomorrow, don't know how to sneak all day long, no serious." ”

"Ah!" Tao Muqing stretched his face when he heard this, looking like the sky was about to fall, Shi Shuyang couldn't help but laugh.

It's time to do it so quickly, as soon as the burden of the curtain is moved to her, she will be surrounded by a group of elders in the future, and the two burdens of the island owner and the female chanter are so heavy that they can't play well, Tao Muqing looked at Shu Yang pitifully and asked him for help......

"Ah, what, this is an order! It doesn't work to look at Shu Yang!" Tao Hongru finished concentrating on eating, didn't look at her elongated face, and then didn't forget to advise: "Shu Yang, don't get used to her, you should say that you should teach hard." ”

Shi Shuyang deliberately didn't look at Tao Mu's clear and pitiful appearance, and nodded seriously with a smile on the corner of his mouth and replied, "Yes, uncle." ”

"Dad, in fact, cousin is ......"

Tao Muqing didn't finish speaking, she was so frightened by Tao Hongru's angry face that she didn't dare to say it, it was the first time she saw her father like this, and she usually teased and laughed with each other.

"I know, Lord Chanji, I will work hard, work hard, and have no regrets. ”

It's one thing to be scared, it's another thing to be serious, and it's like saying it too much.

Tao Hongru couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "What the ancestors stipulated can't be changed." Besides, there is a reason why your uncle can't live in a room, so don't talk for her anymore. ”

Tao Muqing nodded as he listened, and then asked curiously, "What's the reason for that?"

"Want to know?" Tao Hongru's eyes flashed, full of old fox.

"Hmm. Tao Muqing nodded heavily, leaning forward slightly in anticipation.

An Shi and Shi Shuyang on the side secretly laughed and did not speak.

Tao Hongru pondered for a while, and then the thief smiled: "I'll know when you take office." ”

"......" Tao Muqing only felt that there were crows flying overhead, speechless.

It's so naïve! It took a long time to think of these three words in my heart and muttered silently.

After eating, it was already dark, but the rain continued to fall, and the thunder did not go away, and it seemed that it would not stop for a while.

As soon as Tao Hongru finished eating, he went to take a shower and change into dry clothes, and Tao Muqing and An sent Shi Shuyang to the door.

"Be careful when you go back. Ahn advised.

Tao Muqing also smiled and waved his hand, and Shi Shuyang took the umbrella and went back.

"Qing'er, you'll be busy early tomorrow morning, you go wash up, read a book and sleep. While cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, An called out to Tao Muqing, who was about to go out with an umbrella.

"I have eyes on the back of my head. ”

After muttering in a low voice, Tao Muqing put the umbrella back in frustration and responded weakly: "Yes, mother." So he went back to his room.

While pouring water and bathing herself, she secretly thought, Xiaodouzi wouldn't blame her for breaking her promise, such thunder and lightning.

Everyone on Blood Spirit Island is independent and independent, even if they are the owners of the island and the Yuji family who do not have slaves.

Therefore, Tao Muqing has been very independent since he was a child, but Shui An's will burn it well, and he will have to do it himself when he pours the water.

After freshening up, Tao Muqing obediently read the book given by his father and fell asleep.

The weather after the rain is the best time to sleep, and the window has a small gap, and the wind blows in it for a good night's sleep.

The genius was faintly bright, and An knocked on the door and came in, carrying a basin for washing his face.

"Qing'er, wake up quickly, your father is already waiting at the door. ”

Tao Muqing sat up worriedly, yawned, got up to fold the quilt, wash and comb.

An Shi didn't help, and left with peace of mind after seeing her get up.

Tao Muqing arrived in the dining room and grabbed two steamed buns and left, An Shi shook his head with a smile, and then sighed.

It's hard for her, since she was a child, she has to read a bunch of books, learn a bunch of island knowledge and recitations, and some talismans, which is not yet enough to bear this burden, if she can, the mother also hopes that she will live happily and stress-free.

As soon as Tao Muqing arrived at the door, she saw that not only her father was there, but also the elders were almost choking, so she hurriedly stuffed the last piece of steamed bun into her mouth, speeding up the chewing speed of her teeth, she didn't want to listen to their broken thoughts.

"Be careful, don't be in such a hurry. Shi Shuyang patted her on the back, and he doted on her, everyone could see it, except her.

Tao Muqing smiled awkwardly and glared at his father who was snickering on the side.

"Let's go to the outside of the island first, can there be a review of the formation and mechanism arrangement last night?" Tao Hongru asked as he walked.

If you're fine, just hang around outside the island, you're more familiar with it than you.

Tao Muqing walked beside him, and after thinking in his heart, he smiled sweetly and said: "Engrave it in your mind, remember it in your heart, and you can rest assured, Dad." ”

Tao Hongru and the elders nodded with satisfaction.

Since the formation and mechanism layout cannot be known, the elders cannot all follow, only the great elders can follow, that is, Shi Shuyang's father.

However, Shi Shuyang was also added this time, because Shi Shuyang was already Elder Shi's heir, that is, the most important elder who would assist Tao Muqing in the future.

After Tao Muqing skillfully dissolved the formation, after passing the mechanism, Elder Shi praised: "Qing'er is worthy of being the most outstanding heir to the recitation division so far, even Hongru is not as skilled as you in breaking the formation quickly." ”

Tao Muqing smiled and said nothing, for fear that he would reveal more flaws.

It's actually quite easy to patrol the outside of the island, once every morning and once every night, to see if there is any intrusion and the water is low and high tide.

After walking around the island for a while, Tao Muqing suddenly quickened his pace and ran towards the distance.

Tao Hongru and the others also walked over quickly, their expressions a little solemn.

Tao Muqing looked at the handsome man who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and said suspiciously: "Why did you rush someone?"

Shi Shuyang bent over and probed his nose and said, "There is still breathing." ”
