The mother-in-law excitedly pulled Xie Lin into the room, pointed to Su Muling, who was sleeping on the bed, and smiled proudly: "Son, such a handsome woman can't pick a second one on the entire island." In the future, she will be your daughter-in-law, how about it, like it? ”

"Mother? Where did people come from? How can you sleep here? ”

Xie Lin saw that Su Muling was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, and the clothes on her body did not look like ordinary people, so he hurriedly pulled his mother-in-law away and asked.

"Where did it come from? My mother told you that she sent it to the door herself. Just before dinner, she and a man came to look for a boat, saying that they were from the capital and wanted to go back to the capital. The mother saw that these two people were well-dressed, especially this girl was smart. So he lied to them that he could send them back, but he had to pay a deposit of one hundred taels, so the girl gave her mother this. ”

The mother-in-law took out Su Muling's pair of earrings from her arms and showed them to Xie Lin: "If there can be such a good thing, the girl's family must be rich." So my mother drugged them and put them to sleep. When you cook the raw rice and cook it, she will give birth to a man and a woman, and we will take her back to the capital, and then my mother can also borrow your light to leave this ghost place and go to the capital to enjoy the blessings. ”

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she took off the original pair of silver rings on her ears and put on Su Muling's pair of agate earrings.

"Mother, it's too risky for you to do this, how do you know if this girl is married or not? By the way, didn't you say there was still a young man? How do you know it's not her man? ”

Schelling is in his thirties, and because his family is poor and has a tricky and eccentric mother, no one on this island wants to marry him.

The mother-in-law naturally thought about this problem, and she smiled sinisterly: "Silly son, my mother is a person from here, looking at her body, she has never married and given birth to children." Besides, even if she gets married, let's clean up that man, she's not yours. ”

Xie Lin made her mother-in-law blush, rubbing her hands and not knowing what to do. "Mother, if it's ......"

"Don't say it, eat first......"

The mother-in-law interrupted Xie Lin's words impatiently, sat down with a bowl of porridge, took a steamed bun and ate it with salted fish.

Xie Lin was still uneasy in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey his mother-in-law. He never had a father, he grew up under the stick of his mother-in-law, and he didn't dare not listen to what his mother-in-law said.

If you think about it carefully, there is some truth in the words of the mother-in-law, the two of them are here without relatives and for no reason, and they are sent to the door by themselves. The girl was so beautiful, and the mother-in-law said that she wanted such a beautiful girl to be his daughter-in-law, which was a good thing he could never have dreamed of.

Schelling is in his thirties, and children of his age on the island can go out to sea to fish. Thinking of the sleeping beauty in his room, Xie Lin was so happy that he couldn't help but eat more steamed buns.

After the two finished eating, the mother-in-law picked up a knife from the yard to chop wood and entered the firewood room with Xie Lin.

In the firewood room, Wei Huai'an was tied and thrown in the pyre.

"Schelling, kill him, that girl will be yours." With a fierce light in her eyes, the mother-in-law stuffed the firewood knife in her hand into Xie Lin's hand......

***

On the same day, Xiao Wenxuan's ship arrived at Xianren Island.

Xiao Wenxuan has been searching the nearby islands day and night, and everywhere he goes, his hopes are punctured like a bubble. As the islands passed by, Xiao Wenxuan's mood became more and more depressed, and Immortal Island was the last one they were looking for.

The boat docked on the shore, Xiao Wenxuan was the first to get off the boat, looking at the inaccessible and uninhabited island, Xiao Wenxuan's heart was half cold.

Follow everyone on board to the shore to find someone. Half an hour later, all those who had gone out returned to shore and reported that they had not found anything.

As expected, the mountain of hope in Xiao Wenxuan's heart collapsed, and no one followed, he lost his soul and walked to the opposite cliff.

The bottom of the cliff is a mess of stones, look up, dozens of zhang of the cliff monster pine to build a shed, the ancient pine entanglement. Xiao Wenxuan suddenly pulled out the dagger from his body and kicked it down, climbing up the steep cliff.

Xiao Wenxuan's body was as light as a swallow, and his feet were in the cracks in the stones, and with the power of the dagger in his hand, he quickly rushed upward. In just a few moments, Xiao Wenxuan arrived at the top of the cliff, and as soon as he stood up straight, he met a pair of frightened eyes......

"You? Who are you? How...... How did you get up? ”

It's a good harvest.

Xiao Wenxuan never thought that there would be people here, he was still a teenager. His eyes scanned around and he spotted a treehouse not far away. His eyes widened in surprise and he stepped forward and asked, "You live here?" Just yourself? Have you seen two young men and women? The young lady is very beautiful, and the son is tall and thin. ”

The harvest was shocked by him, is this a person? He was able to climb up from the bottom of a cliff with his bare hands.

Seeing that Fengfeng Guang saw that he was silent, Xiao Wenxuan was anxious, and took a step forward and continued to ask: "Are you alone here?" How did you get here? Do you have a family? Are you talking? ”

Fengshou saw that he was so anxious that his brain was sweating, so he spoke: "Are you looking for Sister Ling'er and Brother Wei?" ”

As soon as the words of the harvest came out, tears in Xiao Wenxuan's eyes suddenly welled up. She's alive, they're alive. Unable to hide his emotions, Xiao Wenxuan grabbed Fengfeng's shoulders and was so excited that he was almost speechless: "Yes, yes...... It is, it is. Take me and find them. ”

"But they're gone."

A basin of cold water poured Xiao Wenxuan from head to toe.

"Gone? Where did they go? ”

"Harvest...... Who are you? At this time, Baoxing came from a distance, carrying a basket for collecting medicine. Seeing a strange man clutching his son, the scythe in his hand tightened.

"Daddy, this person is here to find Sister Ling'er and Brother Wei." Fengshou broke free from Xiao Wenxuan and ran towards Baoxing.

"Who are you? What do you want them to do? "Baoxing is an adult in the end, and the other party doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend, so he has a little guard in his heart.

"This uncle, my name is Xiao Wenxuan, I am Su Muling's husband and Wei Huai'an's cousin."

"That's right, Daddy, Sister Ling'er said that her husband is Brother Wei's cousin."

Of course, Baoxing also knew that the vigilance on his face was gone. At the moment, he told Xiao Wenxuan how Su Muling and Wei Huai'an came, and they had left here seven or eight days ago.

Xiao Wenxuan was very strange, they didn't stop day and night along the way, but they didn't see the bamboo raft they were on.

"So they won't ......"

Baoxing was a little worried in his heart, the bamboo raft could be close to him, and it would be dangerous if he traveled far away.

"No, they'll be fine." Since he was able to survive such a big storm, Xiao Wenxuan didn't want to believe that they would have another accident, so he had to go back and look for it again. "Also, do you know the route they took back?" Xiao Wenxuan just wanted to leave, and suddenly remembered an important question.

Baoxing thought for a moment and nodded: "Almost, they took a map when they left, and I will give you a rough ......." ”

Baoxing put down the basket on his body, squatted on the ground, picked up a small branch and drew a rough map on the ground.

"They are from here, and the nearest island to them is this, and they can get there in three days, if nothing else. Then they should go in this direction, there will be an unnamed island about the size of ours......"

"And the island?" Xiao Wenxuan's brows furrowed together, the map they brought did not have this island.

"Yes." Then Baoxing drew several important places along the way for him and told him about it.

Xiao Wenxuan felt that it was not much different from what he was familiar with. After taking a closer look at the location of the unnamed island that he had missed, saying goodbye to Baoxing and Fengshou, and promising them never to tell anyone else about this place, Xiao Wenxuan returned from the cliff again.

After searching all the islands along the way, Su Muling and Wei Huai'an were missing, seeing that the two of them had no hope of survival, Wuying didn't know how to comfort his master, but he saw Xiao Wenxuan returning from the cliff in a hurry.

"Lord Wang?" No shadow came up.

Xiao Wenxuan passed by his side and ordered in a loud voice: Set sail immediately and head for the nameless island.

The boat traveled day and night, and it took only two days to reach Nameless Island. sent everyone out, Xiao Wenxuan was excited.

It didn't take long for Wuying to be the first to come back, with an old man with him.

"Childe." Shadowless and dejected, without the momentum of the past.

"How? Have people ever been there? Xiao Wenxuan looked eagerly at Wuying.

Wuying lowered his head and pushed the old man next to him forward: "You tell me what you see and my son-in-law again." ”

The old man saw Xiao Wenxuan's magnificence, and he didn't know where he came from, so he hurriedly replied to what Wuying asked him just now:

"The two people that Childe is looking for have indeed been to the island a few days ago, and they want to hire a boat from the island to return to the capital. But we only have a small fishing boat here, and we can't get that far, so many families refuse.

Later, I heard that they went to Mrs. Xie's house, but that night, Mrs. Xie's house caught fire, and when we arrived, the house had burned down, leaving only two charred corpses in the fire, and the mother and son of the Xie family and the boat were gone. ”
