I don't know why, Chu Yue actually felt a little weak.

Looking around, there was really no one around.

Xie Siyun and Xie An had already dived into the water, and Chu Yue was also pacing back and forth with some anxiety.

But just when they were in the water, Chu Yue saw a figure in the distance-

It's like a four-room person from the Xie family!

Chu Yue took a closer look, and really saw a delicate figure running towards Chu Yue: "Third sister-in-law, why can't I see you everywhere, so you are here?" ”

There is also a woman behind her, who is a distant relative of their fourth room, because she is about the same age as Xie Jiangqi, so she is always tired of being with Xie Jiangqi these days.

Chu Yue vaguely remembered that her name was Lin Yaoyao.

She is not familiar with Chu Yue, and she is not as old as Chu Yue, so when she saw Chu Yue, she looked timid: "Sister-in-law Chu Yue is good!" ”

Chu Yue glanced at the sea with some concern, and couldn't see Xie An and Xie Siyun.

Bento was just looking at the scenery, and it was natural to speak to Xie Jiangqi, and his footsteps were also walking in the direction they came from little by little, trying to make them all turn their backs to the sea: "Why did you two come here?" The village has been crowded and lively for the past two days, so don't run around. If you meet the disciple and look at the delicate little faces of the two of you, it will be bad! ”

It was rare to hear Chu Yue joke like this, Xie Jiangqi immediately blushed: "Sister-in-law is talking nonsense!" However, my sister-in-law also said that there were many people in the village these two days. How did you get here? Isn't it supposed to be a good place to live in your breeding area? We can count on my sister-in-law to succeed in breeding, and then take us to make a lot of money!"

The fourth room has also been pressed by the big room and the second room for too long.

Chu Yue turned her back to the sea and walked towards the village: "I want to be noisy over there, and naturally I can't let this side go." It's a routine to take a look, and I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, but it's better for you to be at ease, so naturally you don't have to worry about it. ”

Xie Jiangqi surrounded Chu Yue, but did not look elsewhere.

On the contrary, Lin Yaoyao's gaze finally looked at the clothes in Chu Yue's hand, and her eyes were full of doubts: "I remember...... This is the third brother's clothes, right? Is the third brother here too? ”

Hatsuki's heart "chuckled".

Although Lin Yaoyao is Xie Jiangqi's cousin, she also calls Xie Siyun "third brother" according to her seniority.

Her expression was unnatural, only half a point, Lin Yaoyao had always been gentle and sensible, so Chu Yue just smiled and said: "It's too cold to get up in the morning, he was worried that I would suffer from the wind and cold when I came here, so he gave me his own cloak." Why don't you see him at home? It's all at this time, and he doesn't know where to go, it's really hard to be uneasy! ”

As she spoke, Chu Yue's footsteps had already taken the two girls away from the beach.

Xie Jiangqi didn't notice anything, and just cared about telling Chu Yue interesting things in the village.

It was Lin Yaoyao who always looked at the sea behind her.

Although she didn't say anything, it gave Chu Yue a sense of unease.

It's just that in the end, when the two of them left, Lin Yaoyao still didn't say anything, and even made Chu Yue feel that she seemed to be a little as close to herself as Xie Jiangqi, probably not an enemy, so she dispersed that moment of uneasiness.

After finally seeing their backs disappear, Chu Yue hurriedly ran back to the beach, and sure enough, she saw that Xie An and Xie Siyun had already gone ashore, gasping for breath on the shore.

Xie Siyun didn't say anything, but Xie An felt palpitations: "Fortunately, Madam is clever, if we talk a little longer, I'm afraid we will really suffocate in that water." ”

Chu Yue threw the clothes to Xie Siyun, and looked around for fear that someone would appear again: "Actually...... You don't have to hide it from Jiang Qi, she admires you so much, she will definitely not betray you. ”

Xie Siyun was drenched, put the two pearl mussels he picked out in his hand on the reef beside him, shook his hair, and said, "If it's only her, I naturally don't have to hide it." But there is also Lin Yaoyao, she is quite deep in the city, although she is not an enemy of us, but it is better to guard against it. ”

This kind of thing is up to him, and Chu Yue also feels that there is no harm in being cautious.

Finally, when he got dressed, Chu Yue began to urge: "Let's go quickly." ”

Xie Siyun was not in a hurry, his eyes glanced at the pearl mussels that he and Xie An had finally picked up: "Let's go after opening!" ”

Chu Yue was a little anxious, so she simply put the four pearl mussels into her arms: "Let's go, go back and open again." There may be no one here suddenly, and Jiang Qi didn't tell me what they were doing here, in case there were any more people, I'm really scared! ”

Looking at Chu Yue's appearance, Xie Siyun smiled a little: "Okay, anyway, you will open this pearl mussel yourself, where you want to go, we will go wherever we want." ”

Since when did the pearl mussels in the third room of their Xie family become the exclusive property of the first moon?

Chu Yue looked at Xie Siyun's smiling appearance, and her heart suddenly jumped twice before returning to calm.

Originally, their plan was to go home first, go home and open the four pearl mussels, and then go to the pearl farming area after they have settled down.

But I didn't think about it, as soon as I arrived in the middle of the village, I saw that it was very lively.

The second uncle in the second room of the Xie family couldn't take care of it much at the moment, and saw Chu Yue and Xie Siyun in the crowd at a glance, and he also hurried over: "Oh, you guys are finally here!" In our village, there are distinguished guests! ”

Guest? It's a rarity!

Pearl Village is located in a remote area, and I have never heard of any distinguished guests.

The people who came now, Chu Yue didn't have to think about it, so he naturally understood what they were here for.

It's just that when she swept through the crowd and saw someone coming, Chu Yue was still stunned: "Mr. Yin? ”

That's right, one of the people who came was indeed Mr. Yin!

It's just that he no longer looks as energetic as he saw him in the South China Sea before, but has lost a lot of weight, and his spirit is much worse. He stood a little cramped in the crowd, as if there were people around him who could suppress him, if they didn't know each other, Chu Yue only thought that he was an ordinary old gentleman, where was the old Mr. Yin who was so confident and high-spirited before?

Hearing Chu Yue shout to himself, Mr. Yin's head that had been holding against finally raised up.

In the dead eyes, a faint light flashed, and then quickly extinguished: "Long time no see, are you okay?" ”

But before he finished speaking, the man with a fan behind him had already stepped forward and blocked the middle between him and Chu Yue.

Looking at his appearance, he is still handsome, a little like the evil-charm villain in the comics.

He was slender, with slightly bronzed skin, and his black hair fluttering, uninhibited and casually draped behind his head.

Dressed in black, embroidered with golden auspicious cloud patterns, he wants to be extraordinary.

He holds a black fan, the fan is mixed with black, with gold edges as the hand, and a piece of fine jade pendant falls, and there is only a "kill" word on the gold lacquer book on the fan surface, which is enough to see this person - about ruthless.

His evil and arrogant appearance should have been tempting.

But the murderous aura and violence in his eyes that couldn't be concealed like Shura returning from hell made Chu Yue shudder, and he immediately had a feeling of retreating from this person.

Chu Yue involuntarily shrank back, but Xie Siyun took a step forward, blocking Chu Yue, and did not flinch in the face of the slaughtering person in front of him, still looking weak but firm: "I don't know if the distinguished guest is ......"

The man waved the folding fan, fanning a little chill in the warmth of early summer: "I am Zhai Tao." ”

Zhai Tao!?

Chu Yue took a deep breath in her heart, and after all, she couldn't help but raise her head curiously and looked at this man who made people feel extremely weird.

Zhai Tao, how could he appear in their remote pearl village?

Zhai Tao, if he wants to come to Ye Country, everyone knows about it. No, it's not just Ye Country, I'm afraid that other countries have also heard of this person.

He is an imperial merchant, and now he is the only imperial merchant in Ye Kingdom.

Except for some essential commodities controlled by the imperial family, as long as they want to enter Kyoto, gold, silver, jewelry, silk, silk and jade, they all have to go through the hands of the Zhai family.

He is not so much an imperial merchant as a robber. Coax him well, and goods from other places may enter the palace.

He relied on his sister as the current queen, his father as the current prime minister, and his brother as the general of the southern border.

I heard that in Kyoto, he is the most unprovoked person, even if he is a member of the imperial family, he has to give him a little thin noodles. Even the unfavored prince Ye Yufeng was insulted by him in public.

It is conceivable that this person has such an identity and status that he suddenly appeared in this nameless pearl village, and made Mr. Yin so depressed, Chu Yue knew with his toes that he must have come for their cultured pearls.

Rao is face with this person's identity, Xie Siyun also did not change the color of his eyes, which made Chu Yue impressed.

I only heard him cough lightly, and his chest gasped slightly as if he was affected by the wind: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhai, who has been looking up for a long time." I didn't know that my humble Pearl Village could also attract characters like Mr. Zhai, which really made our Pearl Village flourish. ”

Xie Siyun was so polite, but Zhai Tao didn't take Xie Siyun in his eyes, but just got straight to the point: "I heard that you have developed a method for large-scale cultivation of pearl mussels, and I am here for this trip." Nanhai Yin Ruteng was originally what I have been supporting, and I don't know that he handed over this method to you. If you know each other, leave it to me quickly, or else—"

His eyes rolled slightly, looking at everyone's eyes, as if with bloodthirsty madness: "I'm going to kill your pearl village to the bottom, can you believe it?" ”
