Wei Huai'an looked at Su Muling, who seemed to be telling someone else's story, with intriguing eyes, and smiled: "It seems that it is not easy for you to live so big." ”

"It's about the same as you."

Su Muling took out an abalone from the small pot with two thin branches, put it to his mouth and blew it for a long time, then peeled off the shell and handed it to Wei Huai'an.

"Taste it."

Wei Huaian didn't stretch out his hand, his neck stretched out and his mouth was bitten.

"It's delicious." The meat is tender and smooth, and the taste is extremely delicious.

Seeing that Wei Huaian liked it, Mu Ling felt that his hard work was not in vain, and he didn't pay attention to anything wrong with the actions of the two. She grabbed another blow and peeled the shell and handed it to his mouth, and Wei Huai opened his mouth to catch it calmly.

More than a dozen abalones went down, Wei Huai'an felt the strength in his body, he got up and moved his limbs to pick up the bow and arrow.

"I'm going to get you a pheasant."

"Are you crazy? It's better, sit down. Su Muling grabbed him by the sleeve and forced him to sit down.

Su Muling didn't allow him to move, and Wei Huai'an became the prince of the mighty mansion again, living a happy life of stretching out his hands for food and opening his mouth.

After a day, Wei Huai'an's injuries began to heal, and he couldn't be idle any longer, so he ran out to hunt two pheasants while Su Muling went to the beach to collect firewood. One is used to make soup, and the other is used to roast and eat.

Finally changed the food, no need to eat the leopard meat that made people vomit, Su Muling grabbed the chicken leg with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth without any image. In her eyes, any meat is much more delicious than the leopard meat now.

The two of them stayed on this island for three days, and Wei Huai'an was no longer in trouble, and began to plan their next trip.

Re-onboarded the raft, the sky began to get overcast. Slowly, the sea breeze was blowing, and it was getting colder and colder.

Wei Huai'an had only been walking for a long time according to the direction drawn on the map, and it was raining.

It was already the winter moon, and they still felt the cold wind when they put all the clothes on their bodies, and although Su Muling's hands and feet were wrapped in the quilt, they were still as cold as ice.

Su Muling held the only umbrella and called Wei Huai'an to come over to take shelter from the rain.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Wei Huaian couldn't care about the difference between men and women, so he put down the water paddle and got under Su Muling's umbrella.

Su Muling evened the quilt on her body in half, Wei Huaian hesitated for a moment and did not refuse, but still politely kept her distance.

In the wind and rain, the bamboo raft floats like a lonely boat in the endless sea.

Su Muling remembered the day she fell into the sea, and she was a little afraid.

"You say, we're not going to be swept into the sea again, are we?" Su Muling's voice looked so pale and weak in the rain.

"As long as I'm here, I won't let you die."

Although Wei Huai'an's voice was not loud, it was loud, giving Su Muling a reassurance. She stopped talking, hoping that the storm would soon pass.

The umbrella was no longer of much use under this wind and rain, the wind and rain blew on Su Muling's face, and it also went into the quilt along the gap between the two, her face was pale and her lips were purple.

Cold, overwhelmingly cold!

Wei Huai'an glanced at her sideways, his body moved, the quilt in his hand was raised, and he directly hugged Su Muling in his arms and wrapped him under the quilt.

Su Muling was stunned for a moment, and then as the temperature of Wei Huai'an's body came, Su Muling leaned on his shoulder with self-abandonment, only exposing his nose and mouth to pant.

The rain soon wet the quilt on their bodies, and the two of them were close together, warming each other.

The wind and rain are coming, and it is still cold, but the hands and feet are slowly warming.

Slowly, the rain subsided, and Su Muling, who was physically and mentally exhausted, fell asleep in Wei Huai'an's arms in a daze.

They drifted on the sea for another three days, and finally came to a small island with fireworks on earth.

This island is larger than Xianren Island, and the inhabitants are also scattered, and the houses and courtyards are much more dilapidated than Xianren Island.

After Su Muling and Wei Huai'an went ashore, they inquired along the way if there was a boat in the direction of the capital. But the answer they got was that the inhabitants of the island only fished nearby for a living, and the boats were not large, so they were afraid that they would not be able to go as far as the capital.

They inquired all the way to a dilapidated courtyard at the foot of the mountain, where a thin-faced woman in her fifties with patches was mending fishing nets.

Su Muling stepped forward and greeted politely: "Grandma, we want to ask if your family has a boat to go to the capital?" ”

The mother-in-law stopped what she was doing, and a pair of triangular eyes swept up and down on the two of them.

"Beijing? Where are you from? Why go to the capital? ”

Wei Huai'an didn't like this woman's eyes and tone very much, he pulled Su Muling behind him and replied lightly: "We are from the capital and want to go back to the capital." ”

The mother-in-law felt Wei Huai'an's dislike, and snorted coldly: "Beijing? That's not close, how much silver can you give? ”

When Su Muling heard that there was a door, he was overjoyed.

"How much do you want?"

The mother-in-law looked at Su Muling and Wei Huai'an, although the clothes were a little shabby, but they didn't look like poor ghosts. Looking at the agate earrings on Su Muling's ears again, they didn't look like a bargain, and after thinking about it, he said, "Five hundred taels." ”

"Okay." Su Muling agreed without thinking about it.

"Pay a hundred taels as a deposit." The woman continued.

"Grandma, we didn't have that much silver with us, can we pay it again when we get to the capital?"

Su Muling regretted giving the purse to Ah Zi a little, why didn't she expect to use silver along the way. Those few taels of gold are not much, but they are always useful.

I heard that the two of them had no money, so the mother-in-law didn't follow: "You can't do it without a deposit, what if you run away when you get to the capital?" The capital is so big, we have nowhere to look for you. ”

When did Wei Huai'an suffer such a difficulty, he angrily pulled Su Muling to leave.

Su Muling asked this way, only this one family has a play, and she doesn't want to give up. She pulled Wei Huai'an, patted his back with her hand, and comforted Wei Huai'an with her eyes.

Then Su Muling took off the pair of agate earrings from her ears and handed them to her: "Grandma, this pair of pendants is worth a thousand taels in the capital, let's put it on you first, and when you get to the capital to give you the silver, you can return it to me, it's always okay, right?" ”

Su Muling fell from the boat, and in addition to the few taels of gold in his purse and the bracelet on his wrist, there was only this pair of pendants worth it.

When the woman saw the agate earrings handed over by Su Muling, her eyes suddenly showed greed, and her originally straight face also smiled.

Rubbing her hands on her body, she took the earrings and looked carefully at the sunlight before putting them in her close-fitting pocket.

"That's fine. In this way, my son has not yet returned from fishing at sea, so you go into the house to rest, and I will get you some food to eat. ”

Seeing that she had accepted the earrings, Su Muling breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Wei Huai'an into the house with her mother-in-law.

As soon as I entered the house, there was a peculiar smell, and the house was full of things, and it was very messy.

"You sit down and I'll get some food." After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she went out again.

Su Muling looked around, there was dust everywhere, there were a few cups full of tea dirt on the only table in the room, Su Muling stepped forward and picked up the teapot and shook it, it was empty, and there was not even a little water.

Wei Huai'an stood at the door with a frown, covering his nose with his sleeve and shaking his head at Su Muling: "Let's go, let's look for it in the distance, maybe someone else will agree." ”

Su Muling was also a little disgusted with this family and this environment, but she was eager to return to her heart, and pulled Wei Huai'an to persuade him in a low voice: "I know that this kind of place is wronged by you, the prince will be in a hurry, we will leave as soon as her son comes back, and we will not stay longer." All right? ”

The mother-in-law and son are fishermen, and they have a boat at home, so Su Muling doesn't want to give up this opportunity.

Wei Huai'an sighed and had to agree: "Then let's wait in the courtyard, I can't stay in this room for a moment." ”

In fact, Su Muling couldn't stay any longer, they came to the courtyard and sat on the wooden benches in front of the door.

At this time, it was already evening, looking at the sunset in the sea breeze, they were physically and mentally exhausted and drowsy.

"Come, the meal is ready, let's eat quickly." Mother-in-law's voice.

Su Muling came back to her senses, stood up hurriedly, and took the bowl from her mother-in-law's hand.

Wei Huai'an glanced at it and saw that there were hot noodles in his eyes. My stomach was growling with hunger, but I was resisting in my heart and didn't want to eat.

"You eat slowly, my Schelling is coming back soon, I'll go to greet you." The mother-in-law said, wiped her hand on her body, and walked out of the yard quickly.

"Eat as much as you want."

Su Muling knew that he hated his mother-in-law for being unclean, why wasn't she? But after drifting on the sea for a few days, my body has already been frozen, and if I don't eat something hot, I'm afraid that my body won't be able to stand it.

After Su Muling finished speaking, he picked the noodles first and took a bite, well, it was not unpalatable. In order to sample Wei Huai'an, Su Muling took a big bite and ate a bowl of noodles.

Seeing this, Wei Huai'an barely ate a few bites, but he couldn't swallow anymore.

"Huai'an, the people on this island seem to be much poorer than Immortal Island."

Although the houses on the fairy island are not short, they are neatly clean. People are optimistic, cheerful, lively and hospitable, everyone takes care of each other and gets along like a family. Looking at the people on this island, it seems that every family does not move around when they sweep the snow in front of their doors, and the villagers are more vigilant in hospitality.

"Not to mention this, the people here don't seem to be as friendly as the villagers of Immortal Island, Ling'er, we have to be careful." Wei Huai'an had some bad feelings and didn't like this place very much.

"Good. Huai'an, I'm ......"

Before Su Muling's words fell, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and then his knees collapsed.

"Ling'er?"

Wei Huai'an hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, but when the person arrived in his arms, he was unable to support it, and both of them fell to the ground and fainted.

Not far from the courtyard gate, the mother-in-law walked out of the hiding place, revealing a treacherous face.

tied up Su Muling and Wei Huai'an and put them into two rooms respectively. The mother-in-law sat in the courtyard, humming a little song in her mouth, drinking a small tea in her hand, waiting for her son Xie Lin to come back.

As night fell, a tall figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

The mother-in-law rushed out at once, took the fish and shrimp that the man had fished in his hand, and pulled him into the house excitedly.

"Xie Lin, my mother has finally found your daughter-in-law, although she has lost some weight, she looks good, her mother has sent her to your house, you hurry up and eat some food, and then go to the round house."
