Chapter 80: There is no love in life

The moon shadow is bleak, and the summer night is cool.

The eaves of the palace are flying tiles, locking the geometry of spring and autumn?

"Princess, are you thinking about the prince again?" When the evening clouds brought the hot water, they saw Jiang Aoxue leaning in front of the window, her eyebrows frowning slightly, and her eyes seemed to reflect the bright moon in the sky, and then fell out of the starlight.

Hearing Wanyun's call, Jiang Aoxue turned her head and turned her face blank: "Nonsense, what does that guy have to think." ”

It's just that your ears are red, Wan Yun thought in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, at this time, she joked that her princess would definitely be punished to do embroidery.

Secretly laughing, Wanyun took off Jiang Aoxue's robe.

In the days when Baili Minghui was here, Jiang Aoxue was happy, and her face was ruddy, and her body had improved slightly, but she never thought that good days were always short-lived, even if Jiang Aoxue was unwilling in her heart, she couldn't stop Baili Minghui from doing her part.

It's just that although she didn't say it, her body was emaciated again, and she was really "haggard for Yi".

At this time, Baili Minghui, who was hung by Jiang Aoxue and muttered by Wanyun, was in Yuewan Town, and was entangled enough.

"This son, look at this jade, but it is a fine jade, the color is on the upper level, and there is no flaw in the middle," a short and fat man dressed as a merchant said enthusiastically holding a piece of jade, "Do you know the story of our Yuewan Town?" ”

Compared with the capital, Yuewan Town is remote and has better shipping, and because of this, the residents here are all cheerful, and the ability to sell goods is unmatched.

Mu Yucha looked at his brother and couldn't help laughing: "You said that there is a story here, what is it?" If it's really interesting, we might buy this jade. ”

The merchant's eyes flashed, and he still didn't let go of the corners of Baili Minghui's clothes, but the expression on his face was even more flattering, almost huddled together: "A few sons, you are very good, this Yuewan Town, since it is called Moon Bend, is not simply just a scenic spot or a legend." ”

"Oh?" Hearing the merchant say that, Baili Minghui, who had already wanted to regain the corner of his clothes by force, stopped his movements, "Then tell me, what is going on?" ”

Baili Minghui, who came to this place far away from his new wife, is not simply here for sightseeing, but to investigate the affairs of pirates. At the last festival, the emperor was very angry about the robbery of tributes from all over the country, if it wasn't for the prime minister's desperate stop, Baili Minghui who appeared here would definitely follow with a large army.

Seeing that his customers are interested, the merchant naturally does not hide and immediately starts telling the story.

According to Baili Minghui and his entourage, there is a scenic spot here, shaped like a crescent moon, at midnight in each way, the moon travels in the sky, the shadow enters the sea, the two phases shine, like two rounds of bright moons.

But according to the businessman, that is just the first artistic conception. It is said that a hundred years ago, there was a foreign princess who fell in love with a warrior, but had to marry thousands of miles away for the sake of the people, and the warrior was heartbroken for this.

But both of them are people who serve the country, how can they ignore the people of the country for their own selfishness? So the princess dressed up and left, and the warriors sent each other for a hundred miles, and the snow fell heavily that day.

When the warrior returned, he was depressed, but he moved the heavens with the depth of his affection, and sent down an oracle from the heavens, and showed him a route, where there was an island shaped like a crescent moon.

"This island is called Crescent Bay, and when you get to the island, the warriors can make their wishes come true." The merchant looked yearning, but it was not known how true it was.

As the merchant spoke, Mu Yucha slowly approached Baili Minghui with a sly smile on his face.

"It took the warrior a whole month to find the island, and strangely enough, there was no trace of the island on the previous charts, and the warrior thought that it was a miracle from heaven." The merchant continued, "something even more miraculous happened, the day after the warrior landed on the island, the embarrassed princess was also stranded on the island, it turned out that on the way to the bridal, the princess was shipwrecked, and the princess survived with scarce fresh water and food. ”

"Wow, that's so romantic!" Mu Yucha exclaimed, "But what does this have to do with your jade?" ”

The merchant showed a look of shame and took a step forward: "This story is not finished, after the two met, the princess wept, and every tear fell on the ground, turning into a piece of jade, and the two relied on the jade and lived happily together." ”

Baili Minghui frowned slightly: "Where did the god give the island to go?" ”

The merchant shrugged: "I don't know about this below, it seems that few people have seen it in the rumors in the future, after all, it was given by God, how can ordinary people see it?" ”

Mu Yucha's eyes rolled, and he asked suspiciously: "Since you haven't seen that island yourself, how can you conclude that your jade is the result of the princess's tears?" I see, there is a shadow on it, how can it be a divine jade! ”

"Nonsense!" The businessman's face was flushed with anger, and his already round face was now completely squeezed together, "Where are there flaws, how can there be flaws, the little boy can't talk nonsense!" ”

Mu Yucha leaned a little further in the direction of Baili Minghui, and pretended to say, "Come here, I'll tell you where the flaws are." ”

The merchant suspiciously let go of Baili Minghui's clothes, Mu Yucha saw the situation, took Baili Minghui's hand and ran.

Baili Minghui was pulled by Mu Yucha, and he didn't know how many pedestrians he bumped into along the way, and when he looked back, the jade stall and the short and fat merchant were gone.

Mu Yucha said breathlessly: "Brother Minghui, we escaped. ”

Looking at Mu Yucha, who was blushing in front of him, Baili Minghui smiled and touched his head: "Yes, Xiaocha is too powerful." ”

Ning Xia, who was following the two, looked back at the brother who was left behind with a sad face, and secretly sighed at the kindness of his prince, Ning Chun was left behind, not because there were too many people or because the reaction was too slow, but because the moment Mu Yucha started running, Baili Minghui had already turned around and made a gesture, which clearly meant that they would buy the piece of jade.

For Baili Minghui, in fact, the jade is not very bad, but it is just that the corners of the clothes are pulled and I feel impatient, and now the merchant has provided such a big clue, and it is also good for him to buy the jade and give it to his wife.

Thinking of Jiang Aoxue's somewhat stubborn temper and the appearance of leaning against the window with her cheeks leaning on her cheeks, Baili Minghui couldn't help but show a faint smile.

As long as the matter at hand is solved, you can go back to see your wife, thinking of this, Baili Minghui's steps can't help but get faster.

Although the merchant only made up such a story for the sake of business, Baili Minghui found a clue from a place that no one else noticed, that is, the small island in the story is also called Crescent Bay.

You must know that the pirates have invaded the Great Jin Dynasty many times, and every time the government has not completely set up the army, they retreat quickly, coming and going without a trace, and it seems that there is no trace.

Although the merchant said vaguely, since there is such a legend, there must be other legends, as long as the pirate's lair can be found, then it can be done once and for all, instead of passively accepting it as before.

"Brother Minghui, look at that thing!" Mu Yucha was very excited to pull Baili Minghui and stopped in front of a very small folk stall.

Ningxia looked at Baili Minghui, who was obviously thinking about things, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Mu, that's a fish cake." ”

Mu Yucha squatted down, and the old man in front of him saw the customer, with the intention of showing off, the movements in his hands became faster and faster, but the skills were really superb, just for a while, the flour in his hands was pinched into a fish shape, and the fish scales were outlined with bone spurs.

When a fish-like image appeared, the old man opened the ceramic grill and put in the fish-shaped dough cake.

Mu Yucha pointed to the grill and asked, "Grandpa, can you eat this in a while?" ”

"Yes," said the old man dressed as a fisherman, "I've never seen it before, do you want to try it?" There are many types of fish to choose from. ”

"Brother Minghui, let's eat this, which one do you want?" Mu Yucha tugged at the corner of Baili Minghui's clothes.

Baili Minghui paused for a moment, and then pointed to a picture with a little reddish and said, "That's it, old man, I want to inquire about something." ”

The old man picked up the dough and asked while pinching it: "What's the matter, I have lived in this Crescent Bay for decades, and there is nothing I don't know." ”

Baili Minghui was happy in his heart, but his face was not revealed, just like an ordinary tourist, and he appropriately showed a trace of admiration: "I heard that this is not the only crescent bay, above the sea, there is a mysterious island, also called this name." ”

The old man took out the fish cake he had baked earlier, put the one he was making now, and took the syrup of different colors in front of him, and slowly drew it upwards, without a pause: "You just came from the jade stall over there, there is no such thing at all, it's just that kid's nonsense." ”

Ning Chun, who had already bought the jade, happened to come over, and when he heard the words, he put the jade in his pocket, and he was afraid that Baili Minghui would drop the jade in anger.

Unexpectedly, Baili Minghui didn't look angry, but nodded thoughtfully: "There can't be anything groundless in the world." ”

The old man didn't answer, and handed the fish cake in his hand to Mu Yucha: "Ten cents." ”

Ningxia stepped forward to pay the bill, Mu Yucha took the fish cake, took a bite of it, and showed a happy expression.

Baili Minghui stood up: "Since we have eaten, let's go." ”

Mu Yucha nodded and caught up, poor Ning Chun had no choice but to continue to do the finishing work, because the old man had collected twenty yuan just now, and now the grill was naturally the grilled fish ordered by Baili Minghui.

The four weird combinations are just playing while searching for news, Baili Minghui asks people about the uncertain island, but the answers they get are the same, it seems that the story is really just the jade shop owner made up alone.
