Chapter 55: The Shore
As night and day alternate, the white mist gradually dissipates, and through the window lintels, you can see the sky blue and the sea calm.
"I'm a good girl, where is this? The sea, bring me the sea. The captain of the ship saw that the fog was gradually dissipating, and he boldly went out of the cabin. Shocked, at a glance, the mountains are continuous, and there is no head or tail.
The sea came out with a big face, and he was also dumbfounded. Where is this?
"Boss, this, this... Where is it?" the young man, who had run several voyages to the Phantom Sea, had never been stranded halfway, but now that he had come out suddenly, he was very frightened.
The captain of the ship snatched the sea plate, glanced at the horizontal and vertical lines a few times, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, even though we didn't control our direction in the fog, luckily we didn't drift into any ravine. This is the Ailao Mountain where guests are going. But it's not an ordinary way into the mountains. ”
It's normal for the sea to cry and mourn, and keep patting his chest. "Fortunately, there is no need to take a detour, and you can catch Cuicui's birthday. ”
Just as I was glad, my head was knocked out. "You kid, when will you get along with Lao Wang's Cuicui, aren't you afraid that Lao Wang will hammer you all over the street with a hoe?"
The sea is smiling. "Uncle Wang likes me, I'll wait for Cuicui's birthday to come to the door to propose. ”
"Yes!" the captain checked the boat to make sure there was nothing wrong. only then did he instruct the smiling sea to call people. "Go and ask the guests, do you need to take a detour to the main junction, or just leave here and get off the boat?"
The sea trotted all the way with brisk steps.
"Knock knock!"
"Is it the boatman?" a soft, nasal voice, not good.
The sea nodded again and again outside the door, and didn't care if people could see it or not: "Girl, we have arrived at Ailao Mountain, but it is not a big road." Look, do you want to continue the detour to the main road into the mountain, or do you want to enter the mountain right here?"
It's already here!
Tingyu opened the curtain, and sure enough, it was clear outside the window.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask my father. Tingyu heard the "um" from the person outside the door, so he went to knock on the door of the craftsman's house.
The craftsman had already heard the words of his daughter and the boat family, but after experiencing that lively scene, he suddenly didn't know how to face Tingyu.
He only collected such a trace of soul tablets from the battlefield of the gods. He chased that trace of soul tablets, the reincarnation of a lifetime, hoping that she could be reborn in infinite reincarnation.
Her soul tablets, which inhabit different souls, have always slept quietly, and have never absorbed a trace of soul power. They had been neighbors, had been neighbors, had been mentors and apprentices, and he had given her a marriage and been her butler...... Countless reincarnations, he has changed countless different identities to get along with her, but he has never thought of being a husband and wife with her for a lifetime.
Call him incompetent or hypocritical. From beginning to end, he just hoped that she could live well. Why, to arouse the most obscure desire in his heart?!
"Daddy, Daddy!" Could it be that Daddy is injured? Thinking of the pale look of the craftsman at that time, Tingyu frowned. I wondered if I should go in and have a look.
"The fog has dissipated?" The craftsman god still opened the door, but with an awkward look, he hid it very well, and he was not seen by Tingyu.
Tingyu said "um": "The boatman asked, do we take a detour to the main road, or just enter the mountain from here." She couldn't make up her mind, she had never been out of the Eastern Capital, and she didn't know anything about Ailao Mountain.
The craftsman made himself look casual, walked through the hallway, and opened the door. It was the guy who dragged him in yesterday.
"Eh, guest, are you alright?" the sea looked at the guest who was almost swallowed by the phantom fog yesterday, and now he didn't feel very well.
The craftsman shook his head with a smile, looking at the continuous mountains, through the mountain wind, he could hear the roar of wild beasts in the mountains.
"What's the situation on the road into the mountain, do you understand?" If Tingwu is sober, it's okay to set off from here, but Yu'er's injury has not healed, and the two of them may not be very convenient to take Tingwu with him.
The boat boss was familiar with that piece. "There is a nameless town, quite far away from the Beiming family and the Cen family in northern Xinjiang, in the middle of the Arctic ice field and Ailao Mountain. In fact, it is said that it is a big road, and it is similar to here. But you've got a girl with you, and you've got a young man with limited mobility. Not going into the mountains is the best. ”
The craftsman thanked him politely, and it was inevitable to enter the mountain. This mountain was once the residence of the Imperial Shrine of Qin, and the Imperial Son was safer here than anywhere else.
"Daddy. In that case, let's go into the mountains here!" she remembered that City Lord Jiang had said that "she" had killed his mother outside the nameless town in northern Xinjiang. In that case, it would not be good if she showed up there with a swagger, in case she got into trouble.
The craftsman knew what she was thinking when he looked at her. This is indeed a hidden danger! Now they are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they cannot afford to be injured if something happens.
"The boatman, we'll go into the mountains here. It's been a hard time. ”
The captain of the boat had a worried face: "You are sure you want to go in, it is not safe inside." "They take the waterway, although they don't go to such a remote place here. But if you take the normal course, you can often hear the roar of the beast coming from this forest.
He wasn't worried about this sturdy man, he was worried about the sick girl and the unconscious young man.
"Actually, guests, you can take Xiao Gongzi to walk around these five continents more, maybe Xiao Gongzi's condition can be cured, you don't have to go to such a dangerous place to try your luck. The captain of the ship persuaded him bitterly.
The craftsman knew that he had good intentions, and he smiled but was not ready to listen. "Thank you, but we have our own struggles. Yu'er, have you put everything away?"
They don't have much to pack, and refining a storage knick-knack is not difficult for the craftsman.
"In that case, you should be more careful. "If you can't persuade him, he's just an outsider.
"Thank you, boatman. ”
The craftsman carried Tingwu on his back, and Tingyu followed him, standing by the knee-high grass, watching the ship fade away.
"Daddy. "Leaving the Pavilion of the Eastern Capital, she is just a woman who has never seen the world.
The craftsman's expression was faint, and he walked towards the mountain with Tingwu on his back. "Yu'er, follow me, watch your step. The grass here is deep and slippery, and there are snakes, insects, rats and ants. ”
Tingyu felt tightness in her chest and shortness of breath from the moment she stepped here, and there seemed to be something pulling her soul in this mountain. Although it was bearable, it was dull and extremely uncomfortable.
The pavilion also followed suit, following behind the craftsman. For a while, there was silence and silence.
