Chapter 14: Encountering Mingyu Again

I don't know how much time passed, Song Qi finally woke up, opened his eyes and looked around, but saw a soft quilt, a wide bed, and a light blue gauze tent around the bed.

"Remember I fell into the sea, could it be that I sank to the bottom of the sea, this is the Dragon Palace? In the TV series "Journey to the West", the underwater Dragon Palace is filmed, and it will be blistered. Song Qi looked left and right, but did not see blisters.

He tried to sit up, but he couldn't, not even move his hands or feet. At this time, I heard the door creak open, and it turned out to be Ling Xue coming in.

Song Qi was pleasantly surprised, and exclaimed: "Xue'er! ”

I don't know if his voice was too low, or if Ling Xue didn't see him, Ling Xue didn't pay attention to him, turned around, and floated out of the window.

Song Qi cried and cried: "Why didn't Xue'er ignore me, did she blame me for killing her?" Thinking of this, a sense of fear came to him tightly, and he struggled desperately, intending to struggle up from the bed to pull Ling Xue, while shouting heartbreakingly, "Xue'er! \"

"You're finally awake? At this time, a woman's delicate voice came from her ears, and the force of being held down came from her shoulder, "Don't move! You are still very weak and need to rest more. ”

Song Qi didn't move as if he was obedient, but in fact, he was numb and couldn't move, he secretly thought to himself, "Who is this?" Could it be the little dragon girl in the Dragon Palace? ”

He turned his eyes to look around, and found that the place where he was lying was not the Dragon Palace, nor did he have a soft bed gauze tent, but lying on a bamboo couch in a boat, but because the light was too dim, he couldn't see the structural layout of the ship clearly, and he couldn't see who the person in front of him was.

The boat glided in the sea, rocking gently. The rattle of the sea water hit the plank from time to time. It's changing so fast! It seems that it was a dream just now, but the dream is so real that he is still savoring it and has not spoken for a while. I can't keep it from dreaming at this time. A dream within a dream, I've done it many times before.

After opening his eyes for a long time, he slowly adapted to the dark environment, and the blurred figure gradually became clear. The woman sitting in front of the bamboo couch, with long hair and déjà vu, was looking at him with a smile.

Song Qi's gaze slowly rolled on the woman's face, and he asked suspiciously, "Are you?" ”

The woman replied with a smile and warmth: "I am Mingyu!" \"

Oh, it turned out to be her! Song Qi never dreamed that he would see the beautiful Ming Zhuyu who resembled Fei'er here in such a way, his heart was full of mixed feelings, his eyes were hot, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, and he muttered: "It's really you?" I'm not dreaming, am I? ”

Mingyu swept her hair back to her head, the corners of her mouth tightened, and she couldn't help but smile: "It's me." Take a good look, there can be no mistake! ”

"Miss Mingzhu, thank you for saving me!" Song Qi said excitedly, and once again wanted to struggle to get up......

Mingyu pressed it on his hand and said with a smile: "No thanks! You're welcome! Besides, I'm too late to make you suffer! After a pause, he said, "You can call me Mingyu in the future." “

Song Qi nodded, looked at Mingyu with moist eyes and asked, "What about Xue'er?" How is she? \"

Mingyu raised his hand and pointed to the front, and replied, "Don't worry! Cher is in the boat ahead, safe and sound! ”

A boulder hanging in Song Qi's heart was put down, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed and happy, so he breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank God! Thank you, thank you! "Where did you get so much thanks?" Mingyu smiled and patted his hand.

Song Qi closed his eyes and thought about it, then raised his eyes again and asked, "Where did you find Ling Xue and me?" ”

"We saw a fire on the Huanglongling side of the island, and we didn't know what was going on, so we hurriedly sent a few boats over." Mingyu pointed to the air, and then pointed to the water, his eyes also moved in the direction of his fingers, and said slowly: "About a mile away from Longwei Mountain, I saw a balloon floating in the air, and there was a person hanging under the balloon, which was getting lower and lower, and would fall into the sea at any time. Suddenly, we heard a shout for help, and we hurried to drive the boat over. When the ship arrived, the man fell into the sea, and the sailor went down to the sea and fished him up, and it turned out to be Cher. Xue'er filled her stomach with a lot of seawater, and only woke up after spitting out a belly of seawater, and the first thing she said when she woke up was to go and save Brother Song, and then she fainted again. We let her rest on the boat, and she went back to the island in the boat. The rest of the boats split up to look for you, and searched for an hour or two in that area before they found you. ”

"I see!" Song Qi muttered, "It's so hard for you! ”

"What are you talking about? It's your life! Mingyu said happily, "Fortunately, there is a kite floating on the surface of the sea, if there is no kite, it will be difficult to find." ”

"yes, if I hadn't had the kite, I would have drowned!" Song Qi sighed, and two lines of tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

"If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing!" Mingyu narrowed his eyes as he spoke, bent over the bamboo couch, and a few strands of his scattered hair dragged on Song Qi's arm. She was so tired that she needed a break.

Song Qi also slowly closed his eyes.

"I've walked through the ghost gate countless times, maybe the blessing must be greater." He said secretly in his heart.

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly someone shouted, "The sun is up!" "Broke the calm of the sea.

Now the light is bright, and the scene inside and outside the boat is unobstructed. Song Qi reopened his eyes and looked around. I saw more than a dozen sailors sitting or standing on the ship, and there were various weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows on the side of the ship. It seems that they are prepared to go, ready to rush to a fight.

The ship has a tall mast with sails hanging from it, and the ship is breaking the waves. And there is more than one, there are five in total.

Song Qi thought in his heart: "How deep is this Ming Gong Zhu and Father Ling?" I'm afraid it's not just an ordinary friendship, otherwise how can it be worth such a watchful help? ……”

At this time, the scenery on the sea is very different. Far away in the east, the sun struggled like a giant golden egg to break free from the suction of the sea, and ejected from the sea, and shot into the air. The sea glowed with gold as if it had been soaked in gold. The sea is fairly calm, with only a few thin waves swaying slowly.

Overlooking Dream Island, which is only the size of a palm, from the top of the Yellow Dragon, it actually covers an area of dozens of square kilometers, with many buildings, tall trees, and flourishing branches and leaves. There are hundreds of large and small ships moored on the docks, and the largest ships seem to weigh thousands of tons. Under each tree on the shore stood a sailor, with his hair coiled and wrapped in a black net.

At this time, Ming Zhu Gong was already waiting on the shore with a group of sailors.

Song Qi looked at Ming Zhu Gong, who had a childish face, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down to Ming Zhu Gong and said, "Mr. Ming Zhu's life-saving grace to me is very generous!" I Song Qi has no teeth and never forgets! ”

Ming Zhu Gong hurriedly picked up Song Qi, and said humbly: "It doesn't have to be like this!" ”

Song Qi thanked Mingyu again, and Mingyu returned the courtesy.

After a brief greeting, they got into the carriage covered by Zhu Luncui and swayed towards the center of the island. Although this is just an overseas island, the road is very wide enough for four horse-drawn carriages to travel in parallel. Along the way, the grass is green, the flowers are gorgeous, the trees are competing for height, and the scenery is beautiful and extraordinary.

The carriage galloped for about half an hour, came to a densely populated area, the houses in this area are all red walls and blue tiles, there is a tall and lofty building in the middle, the roof is higher than the tree table, the eaves are fighting corners, the carved beams are painted, the momentum is extraordinary, and the four gilded characters on the book are big: "Ming Zhu Gongfu".

Song Qi followed Ming Zhu Gong into the spacious hall, only to see a large round table in the middle of the hall, and the table was already lined up with dishes and dishes, full of various dishes.

At this time, Ling Xue had already changed into a set of pink clothes, supported by two little maids, and gently moved lotus steps from the inner room to the hall. As soon as he saw Song Qi, he hurriedly pushed the maid away, pounced, and when he was about to get close to Song Qi, he suddenly retracted his figure, just reached out and took Song Qi's hand, looked at Song Qi with tears in his eyes and said with infinite kindness: "Brother Song, I want to kill you!" ”

Song Qi also had the urge to hug Ling Xue at this time, but in front of everyone, he couldn't spread it, so he had to hold her hand and shake it straight, and said with a tearful smile: "Me too!" Don't you see that we are alive and well! ”

"It's good to be alive!" Ling Xue smiled with teary eyes. The two of them had four eyes, teary eyes to teary eyes, crying, laughing and laughing for a long time.

At this time, Ming Zhugong asked everyone to sit down at the table, and ordered Yahuan to pour a glass of wine for everyone, and then he picked up the wine glass in front of him, looked at Song Qi and Ling Xue and said, "This glass of wine shocks Song Gongzi and Xue'er!" ”

Song Qi thanked him, picked up the wine glass and brought it to his mouth, and was about to drink it, when he suddenly heard Ling Xue beside him sob: "Uncle Ming, my father, my father died so miserably!" Before he could say anything, there was a snap, the wine glass fell to the ground, and the wine spilled Song Qiyi's pants.

Ling Xue was dizzy and staggered.

Song Qi was shocked, and hurriedly put down the wine glass and reached out to support Ling Xue. I saw that her eyes were closed, her face was blue, her lips were white, and she looked extremely haggard. Mingyu also moved over, and the two of them supported Ling Xue one by one.

Song Qi saw that she was unconscious, and reached out to press her person, but Mingyu blocked it with one hand, and said, "Let me come!" He stretched out his green jade finger and gently pressed Ling Xue's middle a few times.

Ming Zhugong stretched out his hand to probe Ling Xue's forehead, frowned and said, "It's so hot, I have a fever!" \"Hurriedly told the maid to call the doctor quickly.

There is a doctor dedicated to Ming Zhu Gong on the island, and he will arrive as soon as he is called.

When the doctor arrived, Ling Xue had already woken up, leaning on Mingyu's arms, crying bitterly, tears gushing like the water of the Yellow River.

The doctor reached out and tested the temperature on her forehead, cut her pulse, looked down for a while, and turned back to Ming Zhugong and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just overwork and excessive fright, which caused the body to heat up." After I prescribe a few medicines, take them on time, evacuate and evacuate, and it will get better in less than three days. ”

Ming Zhu Gong smiled when he heard this. Song Qi hurriedly thanked the doctor, but the doctor said that he was not grateful, and took the medicine box and left.

After sleeping in bed for two days, and resuming the medicine on time, Ling Xue's body was much better, and the fever had subsided, but she was still listless, crying and crying at every turn. Fortunately, Mingyu waited by the bedside, comforting and persuading at any time.

On the morning of the third day of coming to the island, Ming Zhugong took Ling Xue, Song Qi and others back to Lingyu Village in Longwei Mountain by boat to hold a funeral for Ling's father.

The day before, he personally led dozens of sailors to Longwei Mountain to clean up the site. The headless corpse of Father Ling was found from the pile of dead bodies, and it was terrible to see.

Lingyu Village, where Song Qi had lived for four months back in ancient times, was now in ruins, a mess, the ground was black, the stones were black, and the trees were black, it was really full of depression and shocking.

At this time, Father Ling had already been placed in a large black coffin. Ling Xue knelt beside the coffin, patted the lid of the coffin with her hand, howled and cried bitterly, and fainted again after crying.

Song Qi also knelt beside the coffin, crying bitterly, tears in his eyes. He remembered that Father Ling had saved his life, that he had taken care of himself, that he had taken care of himself, that he had performed heroic feats, that he had died tragically under the enemy's sword, and that he could only lie in a black coffin now, how could it not make people cry and sigh sadly?

Even a person like Ming Zhu Gong, who has been tempered by the years, also burst into tears, and sighed repeatedly: "Heaven's will! All this is providential! ”。

Mingyu also cried into tears, and she had to take care of Ling Xue while crying.

Many family sailors stood solemnly on both sides with their heads bowed, and there was a sigh of sighing. Some wept silently, some sobbed quietly, some wept silently, and several sailors knelt in front of the coffin and cried out in mourning: "Master! ……”

After crying for about half an hour, Ling Xue stopped crying under Mingyu's persuasion. By this time, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, her face was full of tears, and her hair was scattered and sticky to her face, which was very pitiful.

Ming Zhugong stretched out his hand to rub Ling Xue's head, and comforted him in a trembling voice: "Xue'er, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to mourn and change, let your father rest in peace as soon as possible!" ”

Ling Xue nodded vaguely with teary eyes.

At this time, I saw Ming Zhu Gong raise his hand, four sailors lifted the coffin, five sailors blew and blow, Ling Xue Mingyu walked to the right, Song Qi walked to the left, holding the coffin, followed behind Ming Zhu Gong, and walked outside the courtyard.

Dozens of people dressed in plain clothes and linen clothes carried a black coffin and slowly paraded along the seashore surrounded by green mountains and green trees, forming a poignant and tragic funeral picture.

They carried the coffin to Longwei Mountain, to the seaside, to the foot of Huanglongling Mountain, to all the corners that Ling Helai was familiar with before his death, and finally to a verdant mountain.

Here, Song Qi has not been here before.

Under a few big trees near the foot of the mountain, there is a terrifying raised mound, and there is a stone tablet standing in front of the mound, with six large characters written on it: "The Tomb of the Beloved Wife Magnolia". Needless to say, this is the tomb of Ling Xue's mother. Now Daddy Ling is going to sleep here for a long time......

Song Qi looked at the green mound in a daze, his heart was sour, and he sighed: "Father Ling assassinated the emperor before his death, vigorously, and retreated, and after death, he can still look like his loved ones, stay with them forever, and sleep side by side between the mountains and the deep sea." Speaking of which, Daddy Ling is still blessed. ”

Ming Zhugong personally supported the coffin and buried it, and covered the first layer of soil with his own hands. Looking at the graves that were gradually piling up, Ming Zhugong couldn't help crying like rain, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Helai, you can go with peace of mind!" Let's meet Magnolia at the foot of the spring and ascend to heaven together! I will definitely raise your daughter as my own daughter, so you can rest assured! ”

Finally, the tombstone was erected, and seven big characters were written on it: "The tomb of the righteous man Ling Helai!" ”

Ming Zhugong kindly stroked Ling Xue's hair and comforted: "Xue'er, you can't live here anymore, you can live on the island with us in the future." ”

At this time, Ling Xue had no idea, nothing to do, and nodded silently.

What else could she say? First, there will be danger at any time here, and second, there is no house or relatives here...

The crowd kowtowed, burned the paper money, and then reluctantly left the cemetery.

Ling Xue was heartbroken, her face was full of tears, she was supported by Mingyu, staggered, turned back step by step, and reluctantly left her home on Longwei Mountain, where she had lived for more than ten years and carried the fond memories of her girlhood
