Chapter 97: Is there a story, I have wine
In the evening, Sheng Ye and Mu Yue stood on the deck, blowing the cool river breeze, chatting with each other.
"Look there, it's the Fire Water Bridge.
It's not that I'm complaining, the name of the bridge in this world is really bad.
The bridge built by the joint venture of Tuzong and Muzong is called the Civil Bridge, and the bridge built by the Fire Sect and the Water Sect is called the Huoshui Bridge?
I heard that there is also a golden wooden bridge, which is a broken world with a lack of words.
You will be able to dock tomorrow, can you tell me, what do you want to do when you go to the Fire Sect?
Or is it to find your unknown land again?
To be honest, that ghost place in the Fire Sect is a bit difficult to overcome, and I don't want to stay long. ”
"The river is calm."
Sheng Ye said lightly, but Mu Yue could hear what he was saying.
"That's right, the underwater matter should be settled by you, and the people of the Water Sect want to thank you for being the hero behind the scenes. Tsk, being a behind-the-scenes hero, I really want to know what it's like. ”
Mu Yue teased.
"Hey, so you two are here."
Suddenly, a female voice came into their ears. Hong Mei approached the two, leaned on the railing, and looked at Mu Yue.
"Muyue, I wasn't here just now, I heard that you were looking for me?"
Mu Yue raised her eyebrows, took out a letter from her pocket, and handed it to her.
"I thought about it, I'll say goodbye to you tomorrow, I have to leave you a small gift, after all, I've been bothering you for so many days, and not leaving something is not like my character.
Hong Mei, you can find a chance to let Bo Ye hand over to your sect master. ”
"What is this?"
Hong Mei raised the letter in her hand, her face full of puzzlement.
"It's time for Hong Liang to jump out of his little circle, I hope this letter of mine can help him a little, he is a talent."
Mu Yue didn't pick it out, and suddenly sighed.
Hong Meimei's eyes narrowed, and she understood a little.
"I heard that Hong Piao said that during this period of time, Hong Liang people have been much more cheerful, willing to go out of the door, and willing to talk to everyone. Everyone thinks it's your credit.
Really, our whole family is grateful to you, my brother... Ahem..."
Hong Mei wanted to speak and stopped, as if she thought of something.
Immediately, she took a deep breath, looked at Mu Yue and smiled.
"Interested in hearing stories?"
"Don't look at me as Sven, I'm actually a very gossip person, and I like to listen to stories the most."
Muyue said mischievously.
Hong Mei looked at the river, as if she was clearing her thoughts.
"In our family, we all have a tacit agreement not to tell the story. It's as if if you can't erase its existence without mentioning it.
So, when I tell this story, I hope I'm also from the perspective of a bystander. ”
Speaking of this, Hong Mei paused, and then continued.
"It was one day four years ago, and the weather was as good as today, and there were basically no big waves on the Xingmu River, which was the season for the fish to be plump.
A husband and wife were fishing in the boat, and this time they brought their son, who had been clamoring to follow.
Their son is very good, although he is not yet ten years old, he is already at an advanced cultivation level, and it can be said that they are the pride of their whole family.
The boy's dream is to be a captain like his father.
The boy was very excited when he first arrived, and in the middle of the night, he was not asleep. While his parents were asleep, he slipped to the top of the boat to play.
He is full of curiosity about the Xingmu River at night, sometimes looking at the starry sky, sometimes looking at the water, and feeling that everything is beautiful.
Suddenly, without warning, it began to rain, and in an instant it poured down.
Seeing the rain, the boy prepares to go back to sleep in the boat. Before he could move, he felt the ship shake violently, as if it had been hit by something.
The boat was rocking, and he was rocking with it, almost missing his head and bleeding.
The rain was heavier, and there was thunder and lightning. The boy tried to get into the boat, but he couldn't do it, because he had already fallen out of the railing, and he was pulling on the railing with both hands, and he would fall if he was not careful.
Suddenly, the boat shook even more, and he heard the crew get up one after another, making a noise, as if something big had happened at the bottom of the ship.
The boy saw his father walking among the crew, as if in a hurry, and he wanted to call out to his father, I am here, but he was swallowed up by the sound of rain.
The boy was not disappointed, he thought to himself that his mother would soon come looking for him when she found him missing.
However, his mother did not wake up, perhaps because she was too tired from working during the day.
The crew did not solve the problem of the boat, and soon the river shook violently, as if some beast had come out of the bottom of the river.
The boat tossed on the waves, and the boy's hand could no longer support it, and he fell into the river.
At the moment of falling, he saw the ship collapse and spread out before his eyes, and his ears were filled with the sound of a raging storm, and he could not hear anything. Then, he fainted.
By the time he woke up, he was already in the water. Fortunately, when he fell, he just landed on a large wooden plank on the surface of the river. The planks floated, carrying him with the current.
The boy tried to find the ship's traces, but he only saw the wreckage of the ship, a few hundred meters away. Parents and the rest of the crew did not know whether they were alive or dead.
After floating on the river for two days, he was found and rescued when he almost lost his will to survive.
He heard that the boat encountered Jiang Xiao, and was first hit by a large school of fish, causing the boat to leak, and then it was completely destroyed by Jiang Xiao. No one else on board survived, only he miraculously survived.
After that, his personality became silent. He often locked himself in his room, rarely went out, and did not continue his cultivation.
Instead, there are some strange toys in the room.
He never dared to go into the water again, and he no longer saw it as a dream to be a captain.
In this way, he went from being one of the proudest geniuses in the sect to a waste material that he didn't even want to touch for cultivation.
The boy has three older sisters, and his qualifications are not as dazzling as the boy's.
Since this happened, they have become very hard, not only to take care of their younger brother, but also to support the family.
Through hard work, they have been recognized by the sect.
Also, they have a good grandfather, which is their last spiritual harbor. ”
Speaking of this, Hong Mei paused, her face was very calm, but her eyes were very confused.
Mu Yue gently touched her shoulder with her hand, and said lightly, "You guys did a good job, really." ”
Hong Mei grinned and squeezed out a smile at Mu Yue: "Thank you for listening to me, this is the first time I have told this story to others." ”
With that, Hong Mei let out a long sigh of relief and got up from the railing. She turned her back to the two of them, waved the letter in her hand, and walked back to the boat without looking back.
"What a wonderful story. Holy Night, do you have a story, I have wine. ”
Mu Yue tilted her head to look at the Holy Night, but the Holy Night did not move, like a statue.
"Hmph, sooner or later, you'll take the initiative to tell me your story."
Mu Yue was not convinced.
