Fengyun Chapter 53: Tears in the Pearl of the Sea and the Moon (5)
Jing Qingli looked at the young man in front of her, guessing his intention.
Su Ge lowered his head, quickly glanced up at the two people, bit the corner of his mouth, and hesitated to speak: "I ......"
Jing Qingli raised her eyebrows and waited for his words, Su Ge shook the hand on his side, and continued: "I want to ask the two of you about one person......" He pursed his lips, "His name is Yuesang, my ...... Old Friends ......"
He looked up expectantly, hoping to get some affirmative answer from the face of the person opposite.
Ming Xi shook his head slowly, Jing Qingli looked at the young man's face that was red because of nervousness, and something flashed in his mind. I was just trying to grasp that little thought, but was interrupted by the cheers of the crowd.
The waves were surging, and his flushed face slowly recovered, but Su Ge could not hide his disappointment.
He lowered his head and pursed his lips, his excessively long forehead hair obscuring his gaze, Su Ge's fingers pinched the patched corners of his clothes tightly, and the undense stitches were pinched and a little off. Both of them could feel that the boy had something to say, but it was as if the shy boy had used up all his courage, and for a moment there was silence around the corner.
The pearl nested in Mingxi's sleeve rolled, and he noticed that the remnant soul of the shark bead raised in his own space was a little restless, as if he was in a hurry to get rid of the shark bead that warmed himself.
"Suge...... Suge ......"
It was like a murmur from the distant sky, echoing through the space.
The light blue shark beads were shrouded in a trace of white smoke, and gradually stretched into a very light figure, the person's posture was stunning, but his brows were slightly frowned, and his face was full of misery. In just half a breath, the figure collapsed and returned to the shark bead, but the remnant soul was even weaker, as if it would dissipate into the world in the next moment.
"Suge...... Where are you ......?"
The faint voice gradually disappeared in the space, and the baby pearl led the spiritual power to wrap the shark bead to prevent the remnant soul from completely dissipating if one was not careful.
The flocks of seabirds outside gradually drifted away with the small fish sprinkled by the captain, Su Ge was a little annoyed, he looked up at the two of them, his eyes paused on Ming Xi's sleeve, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just said out: "Sorry to disturb the two of you, my name is Su Ge, if there is anything offensive...... I ......" He didn't continue, but anyone would understand what he meant.
This is a very shy boy.
After saying goodbye, Su Ge walked to the corner, hesitated for a moment, but turned his head, looked at the deck under the feet of the two and said, "I'm from Yunmeng Island, two of you...... If you two want to go shopping when you get to the shore, I can take you. After speaking, he still glanced at Jing Qingli quickly.
Jing Qingli smiled at him and raised her voice, "Thank you!" ”
Su Ge didn't say anything more, pursed his lips and turned his head and walked away quickly. Mingzhu Baby slipped out of his father's cuffs and told him everything in the space just now.
"How can it be so coincidental?" Jing Qingli touched her chin, looked at Mingxi's sleeves, and then looked at the pearls fluttering up and down, remembering that Su Ge had been staring at his sleeves before, and the pearl babies and the shark pearls were connected at that time......
"Yuesang, Su Ge ......" She lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly remembered something: "The merman royal family seems to like to use the stars and the moon to name ......" Jing Qingli thought for a while, and continued: "I will ask Xiao Junyu later, the situation of the leaders of all parties, he must be clear." ”
There was no sound of Ying He, Jing Qingli poked the arm of the person next to her, and as soon as she raised her head, she crashed into those deep eyes, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Jing Qingli's face was a little hot, and she hurriedly turned around and walked outside, snorting softly at the end.
Behind him, Mingxi laughed softly, shook his head helplessly, and chased after him.
On the deck, the whole autumn noodle fish had been processed, some pieces of meat were being processed into thin fillets by the enthusiastic women, the scales the size of the palms of adults had been washed and washed into children's toys, the fish heads and bones had been set aside, and the crew had gone to the back kitchen to drag huge pots to prepare the fish soup to drink.
The fishy smell of autumn noodles is very light, the meat is fresh and tender, because the staple food is a kind of autumn noodles grass and the fish meat has a fresh taste, and there are many monsters in the demon world who go to the sea to catch fish for the sake of appetite.
The one-man high cauldron was erected, and several crew members carried the large box to the reserved open space first, opened the box and paved the pale red stone slab inside with black lacquer tongs. The slab was three feet square, about two inches wide, and was pale red with a hint of fire on the top, and black like the clip below.
Seeing this thing, many people still didn't understand what it was, but Jing Qingli, who ran out, nodded appreciatively: the flame stone containing a lot of impurities and the Xuantie were combined, and the fire contained in the flame stone couldn't help the Xuantie at all, but it could easily cook a meal.
The rest of the crew put the cauldron on the stone slab, and the crew carrying the water had already arrived, running around one by one without being tired. The thin young man named Su Ge was a little absent-minded carrying the bucket, Jing Qingli looked at him carefully, and the person behind him had already caught up, and whispered in her ear: "I'll accompany you." ”
Jing Qingli's ears were a little hot, and after reacting that Ming Xi already knew her intentions, she raised her eyebrows and said, "That's for sure, who are you not going to accompany me." ”
The captain beckoned to the passengers, and a few small stone slabs were laid out to grill the fillet. Su Ge lowered his head and moved out the only stove, and one after another, the crew took out all the vegetables and the like from the kitchen. An elderly crew member patted Su Ge on the shoulder and laughed, "I want your kid to show us a taste today!" ”
The rest of the crew also laughed, shouting "Chef Su" from time to time. Infected by the people around him, Su Ge responded with a smile, "Thank you for cheering!" With that, he lowered his head and went to deal with the greens that were already wilting.
The vegetables on the ship are precious, Su Ge carefully handles the leaves, the rotten ones can't be used, and the others can be kept a little more, after all, there is only this dish left, but there are many people on the ship.
Under the sunset, the young man who was not at peace in his heart handled the ingredients very calmly.
The captain leaned on the railing, took a small bottle from his bosom, uncorked it, looked up and took a sip, and sighed contentedly. Catching a glimpse of Jing Qingli looking at Su Ge, he grinned and took the initiative to talk: "That's a hard-working child." ”
Jing Qingli turned her head to look at the bearded man, and did not ignore his words. The captain bared his teeth and continued: "-But he is very hard-working, down-to-earth, and it stands to reason that we rough old men have no pursuit of food, and the cooks do it all by one person for a day, but you can imagine......" he shrugged his shoulders and continued: "It tastes like pig food." ”
The captain stroked his beard as he spoke, tilted his head and took another sip of wine, narrowing his eyes in enjoyment. "That kid's cooking tastes good, since he came up to this boat, we big men have been yelling all day long that they don't want to get off the boat anymore......"
With the sound of birdsong in her ears and the sunset shining on the deck, Jing Qingli talked happily with the captain with a quiet breath, but she learned a lot about the situation.
The captain's surname is Guo, and he is the third in the family, so his name is C. He can cultivate, and when he was a teenager, he went out to sea at the beginning of Qi training, wandering around, and gradually changed from an inconspicuous small crew member to a somewhat famous figure at sea. It was not until he was in his forties that he returned to Yunmeng, and he had no intention of marrying a wife and settling down, but started a passenger ship business, and it has been dozens of years now.
It can be said that this ship is his home.
Jing Qingli tentatively asked about the legend of the merman, but she didn't expect to arouse the captain's interest as soon as she mentioned it. As if remembering something, he took a sip and said in admiration: "Shark, I have seen it once from afar, and I have to say that Lao Tzu has never seen such a beautiful beauty!" ”
He said this in a hurry, and at the end he laughed a few times, squeezing his eyebrows and eyes to show a little obscene, but after laughing, the words were revealed, and the captain continued: "That was a time when I drove a night boat, and the moon was very big, and I saw half a body exposed on the sea not far away, and the merman seemed to have found me, and glanced back at me and fell into the water. Good boy! What's the word...... Glimpse! He took another sip, sporadic drinks hanging from his beard, the sun shining through the droplets.
"I was only in my twenties at the time, and I just stayed there and blew the cold wind in the middle of the night, haha, now I often think, if I went to see that mermaid at my current age, would I be stunned?"
When the captain said this, he lowered his head, groped his fingers twice for the mouth of the bottle, and muttered, "I think I will ......" His voice was very low, and when he finished speaking, he came back to his senses as if he had woken up, and smiled at the two people beside him.
The unruly man looked up and drank all the wine in the small bottle, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes. The air was quiet for a while, Jing Qingli moved back, her back touched Mingxi's arm before stopping, Yunmeng Island could already see the general outline, the sunset dotted on Yunmeng Island, the brilliance was like a dream.
"Hiccup-" Captain Guo covered his mouth, still unable to suppress another hiccup: "Hiccup-"
Captain Guo took a sharp breath to suppress the hiccup, raised his eyes to catch a glimpse of the eyes of the two people next to him, and one couldn't help but laugh out loud. He subconsciously raised the small wine bottle and poured it into his mouth, but all that poured into his mouth was the salty and humid sea breeze.
"Old country! It's time for meat! If you don't come, I won't leave it for you! A sturdy man sat next to a flaming stone slab, put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his hands on his clothes, and shouted to Guo Bing to come over.
The tip of the nose is filled with the smell of barbecued meat, the pot in which the fish soup is boiling, and the children are running around the deck with a handful of roasted meat and laughing, muttering delicious words from time to time. Unrestrained monks followed on the deck. It is clearly a person from all over the world, but for a while, there is really a big family on this boat.
Su Ge stood in the crowd, with a spatula in his hand, frying the last plate of autumn flour grass. Tonight's autumn noodle fish is the main dish, and this last dish is autumn noodle grass, which is best eaten with autumn noodle fish. On the small table beside him, eight dishes of vegetarian or meat dishes were neatly arranged. You can tell that the greens are not fresh, but they smell surprisingly good.
Guo Bing swallowed his saliva after being hooked, turned his head to the two people around him and said, "Miss Jing, Master Ming, please-"
Seeing his impatient appearance, Jing Qingli and Ming Xi followed.
