Chapter 19: New Friends
"What are you doing here?" Seeing the purple-robed young man Shu Ying who appeared inexplicably, I didn't want to be polite with him.
In my unfriendly tone, Shu Ying looked at me steadily. I was puzzled in my heart, and I couldn't help but ask, "Is there something on my face?"
Before Qian Fan could speak, Shu Ying had already said, "It turns out that you are so beautiful in human form!"
I glanced at him in disgust and asked Qianfan, "Is he the guest you invited?"
Qian Fan sat down on the stone bench on the side, and used a spell to transfer a set of tea sets he usually used in the house, and said, "He broke up by himself, pestering me to find you."
"What are you looking for me to do?" I'm puzzled.
Shu Ying sat down on a stone bench next to me without any emotion, and said, "You seem to hate me very much?"
"You're right." I say it bluntly.
"Why?" Shu Ying frowned puzzled.
Chihiro flipped three cups from the tea tray and poured a cup of tea for each of them. Shu Ying took a sip of tea from one of them, and after putting down the teacup, his palm was spread out, and a crystal ball the size of a fist appeared in his palm.
Just as I was wondering what he was going to do, he shifted the hand holding the crystal ball to my eyes and said, "Give it to you!"
I didn't take it, this is a beautiful crystal ball, there is a small red coral stone in it, and the whole crystal ball is like the sunset on the horizon. Among them is a beautiful little yellow croaker swimming.
"Take it."
Seeing that I didn't mean to take it, Shuying took my hand and forced the crystal ball into my hand. I tried to shove it back into him, but when I thought about it, it didn't seem appropriate.
People give you gifts, and they sincerely want to make friends with you, so they lose face like this, but they seem to be stingy. But......
"That's not good, I'm not very familiar with you!" I still hesitated.
"Who said we weren't acquainted." Shu Ying said.
I thought about it for a moment and said suspiciously, "Okay, we know each other." But if you give me such a valuable gift, I have nothing to give you. I think I'd better give it back to you. ”
Shu Ying waved his hand and said, "No, no, I don't want you to give me anything in return, just accept it, you just like it."
I didn't know what to say for a while, and since he insisted on sending it, then I'm not welcome. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, I'll take it." It's just, are you here for something? ”
Shu Ying said: "Looking for you!" Staying in the Dragon Palace all day is also idle. ”
"Oh!" Because I don't know him very well, I don't know how to talk to him for a while.
The three of them were silent for a while, and Shu Ying leaned over to look at the book in my hand and asked, "What book are you reading?" ”
"Recite spell formulas" I said with a bitter face, in fact, I have mastered all the spells and formulas I have learned, but Qianfan is not very relieved, so he insists that I read it a few more times.
"You've learned these things, it's all basic self-defense spells, and it's not difficult!" Shu Ying said.
I looked at Qianfan, who was quietly drinking tea on the side, and said, "But, some people don't believe me."
"I think I really remember, and if I don't want to watch it again, don't watch it!" Chihiro said.
Hearing this, I closed the book, stretched, and drank the tea from the teacup in one gulp.
"I heard my uncle say that you caused the fluctuation of the sea that day, but, I don't understand why you did that?" Shuying asked me.
"I used the wrong spell that day, and I didn't mean to, otherwise I wouldn't have had to work so hard to re-practice all the spells I had learned in the past few days. Alas~ I'm really tired these days. I said that I still have lingering thoughts about the events of that day.
"Have you always lived in the East China Sea?" I asked Shuying, not because I was curious, but because two or three people were sitting here, and it looked embarrassing to keep not talking.
Shu Ying said: "No, I came here half a month, and I haven't been here for a hundred years." Fortunately, I still know the way, the day I arrived, I saw a figure busy at the gate of the Dragon Palace, and when I got closer, it turned out to be the turtle prime minister who turned into the original form. It's just that the turtle shell on his back is gone, so I asked him what was the matter, and guess what? ”
When Shu Ying said this, he couldn't help laughing, and he was trembling.
I think he's a little inexplicable, can this turtle live without a shell? But after thinking about it, this turtle that had become a spirit might be different from other turtles, so he said, "Was it picked up in a fight?"
Shu Ying was still laughing, clapped his hands and said, "That's a four-legged snake that is about to become a refinement."
I laughed out loud and said, "That's really how grateful you are, I haven't seen you for so long, and you can still recognize it when the shell is gone." ”
Shu Ying said, "Not really." After a pause, he stopped laughing, his eyes swept to the green trees outside the pavilion, Qing Shui, and said: "Your mountain is good, green and boundless, the sun is shining, much better than our bottom of the water." ”
"You guys are not bad underwater, and there are plenty of aquatic products." I humbled my words.
"Do you like underwater? By the way, you haven't visited the East China Sea yet, or I'll take you around. Shu Ying said.
I shook my head, just about to say something, Shu Ying preemptively said: "Don't tell me that we are not familiar again, we are born when we meet for the first time, and we are familiar when we meet for the second time!"
was robbed of the conversation by him, and I was speechless for a while, and went to see Qianfan, who was drinking tea by himself.
"Or, I'll take you around our Cangshan!" I said, not to save his face, but also to appear generous.
Shu Ying readily agreed, and Qian Fan said, "Come back early."
I'm inexplicable, I only go around Cangshan, and I don't go down the mountain, and I won't be too far away if I can't come back, is he too worried?
led Shu Ying to scurry in the mountains for a while, there is really nothing in this mountain, neither like the bustle of the mortal world, nor like the legendary heavenly realm where there is a Yao Pond to enjoy. I can only take him to pick mushrooms and wild fruits.
Despite this, Shu Ying seemed very happy, it seems that he has really lived in the water for too long!
After playing until it was almost dark, Shu Ying reluctantly said goodbye to me and Qianfan, and went down the mountain to the East China Sea.
At the end of this day, Shu Ying did not exceed the rules, and I gradually let go of the defense in my heart towards him, maybe that day in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, he just saw me in his original form and thought it was a pet, so he picked me up without my consent. He didn't treat me like anything at the time!
After dinner, I took out the crystal ball that Uncle Ying gave me during the day and looked at it at the table. By the light of the night pearl in the house, the corals and fish inside are clearly visible. But I don't understand, there is no crack on the surface of this crystal ball, how did the coral and the fish put it in?
"Did you have fun today?" Chihiro's sudden voice interrupted my thoughts.
I said, "Of course I'm happy, but I'm happy every day, not just today."
"You like this ball?" Chihiro said again.
"I don't like it, I'm just curious, how did this coral and fish get in?" I spoke out of my mind that I couldn't figure out.
Qianfan said: "Use spells, haven't you also learned this kind of small spell?" Forgot again? ”
I suddenly opened my mouth, yes, I can do it with spells, how can I forget the second use of this kind of spell that penetrates objects!
Putting away the crystal ball, I said to Qianfan in a weak heart that I was tired, so I went to sleep first. Without waiting for him to answer, he hurried back to his room. I prayed in my heart: don't make me recite the mantra again, there is nothing more painful than this!
