Chapter Twenty-Three: Encounter with the Mirage Again
I lowered my voice and pleaded, "Aunt Hui, please, leave He Yunxian behind." I know this will get you in trouble, but there's a good chance it could save his life. ”
Aunt Hui took my hand, patted it gently, and said softly: "Ling Ran, although my aunt said so, she is really not afraid of trouble, but you also saw it, the child was saved by me but did not appreciate it, and insisted that I was ill-intentioned, if I left him behind, then wouldn't the crime of this wicked person be settled?" Besides, do you really want him to leave you? ”
I avoided her gaze and fell silent, not knowing what to say.
"Lu Ran, until the last moment, never leave with the person you love, otherwise no matter what the reason, you will regret it for the rest of your life. This is something my aunt has personally experienced, and I don't want my niece to repeat it. She put down her hand, slowly turned around and paced, "Fifteen years ago, I accidentally angered a demon king, he said that he wanted to kill my whole family, and my whole family only had my sister and me, I was very scared, in order not to affect my sister, I ran out by myself, and came here to get the protection of my father-in-law to survive, but I promised my father-in-law to never go out of the river......"
Aunt E's voice was hoarse, getting smaller and smaller, until she couldn't make a sound at all, she held on to the table, her shoulders kept shaking, and although she forced her to suppress it, her cry still came out. I approached and held out my hand several times, but I didn't know how to comfort me.
Suddenly, Aunt Hua smiled, tears hung in the corners of her eyes, in a trance, the person in front of me seemed to have become a dream mother, I lost my mind, and almost blurted out the word "mother".
"I'm so confused...... Tell you what you're doing. Ling Ran, listen to my aunt, no matter what conspiracy he threats, at least, the closest person is good in front of him, and that's enough. Aunt Hui paused, "Ling Ran, although I saw you for the first time today, but between the words, your strength and responsibility are fully reflected, in fact, you are not afraid that he will be taken as a hostage, but afraid that he will not be able to protect him well." You don't have to die or live one by one, my aunt believes that you will get out of the way. ”
"Let me in! Let me in! He Yunwu broke into the door at this time, and several little demons explained in a panic and wanted to pull him out, and Aunt Hui raised her hand to let them go down. He Yunwu was now unhindered, and rushed to Aunt Hui's eyes in three steps and two steps, pointing his nose and scolding her: "You vicious woman, you don't hurt me enough, you still want to harm Ling Ran?" I—I'm fighting with you! ”
"He Yunwu!" I stopped him, "It's really a wolf." Aunt Paint saved you. ”
He Yunwu's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of incredulity, he staggered back a few steps, and then sat on the ground: "Okay, you have all confessed to your relatives, Mo Lingran, you don't need to kill them all." ”
I couldn't cry or laugh: "Who rarely kills you, Aunt Hui rescued you and said that she was uneasy and kind, I saved you and said that I killed them all." In this way, you will be sent back to the mirage's mouth and chewed up. ”
His brows twisted: "Then you say, what do you have to do with her?" ”
Aunt Hui and I looked at each other and smiled, and then told him everything that had happened. After listening to this, he got up and saluted Aunt Hui, and called "Aunt Auntie" closer than me.
"Okay, okay, they're all good children of my aunt." Aunt Hui put our hands together, He Yunwu immediately clenched, I wanted to smoke but couldn't pull back, in front of my aunt, it was not easy to attack, so I had to force a smile and endure it. But He Yunwu was so proud that he squeezed his eyebrows at me, his thick black eyebrows kept twisting, like a bug, and I just wanted to punch him in the face.
Aunt Hui looked at us like this, and laughed "poof": "You are really a good match, one is stable and one is impatient, one is mature and one is immature, and they complement each other." ”
When He Yunwu heard this, his expression was even more proud, he raised his chin and said to me with his nostrils: "Lu Ran, Aunt Hui is right, you are too immature." "Obviously, he's going to be wrong, so why don't I hit him in the face.
So I said expressionlessly: "It's okay to be immature, but the most terrible thing is ignorance, ignorance, and what's worse is that I am ugly but still proud, making fun of others." ”
He was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
Seeing that we were about to quarrel, Aunt Hui hurriedly pulled us away: "Okay, what are you arguing about, can't you catch up with this road?" ”
"Hahaha......" A deep voice came from the courtyard, and then, a seven-foot man with broad shoulders and a round waist, dressed in purple, and his beard kept shaking, appeared at the door of the house, "It's all here, it's not too late to drink a cup of tea and leave." ”
Aunt Hui greeted her with a smile: "Father-in-law, you are laughing, how dare they accept your tea?" ”
Father-in-law? That is the mirage, looking at his expression carefully, he is not angry or happy, and he can't see his mood at all, let alone guess his thoughts at this time. He opened his mouth and smiled again, although his mouth was grinning, he couldn't see Le Yan at all: "Qingqing." ”
"My daughter is here."
"You have a good heart and are willing to save people, but this ......" the mirage pointed at me, his face bitter, as if he was thinking about my name, and as soon as I was about to speak, he waved his hand and continued, "It doesn't matter who she is." Qingqing, she is not an ordinary person, the ice on the water yesterday was frozen by her, and today she broke into Xuanzi Palace City, she ......"
"She's not an ordinary person," Aunt Hui interrupted him with a smile, "Ling Ran is my own niece." As he spoke, he leaned in and explained.
"That can't spare her, it's too much, spare me three times and twice, I have to punish her well!"
"Punishment and punishment." Aunt Ei patted the mirage on the back, "These two children, they will definitely listen to you, the godfather." ”
The mirage blew his beard: "Huh? When did I recognize them? ”
"If you have a father-in-law, you wish you had children and grandchildren. But ah, I don't know which poor old man is really quirky, no one wants to marry, and in the end he can only admit his relatives, but for hundreds of years, he has only recognized one righteous daughter. "Aunt Hui deliberately regretted it. The mirage looked at her and laughed angrily: "Okay, you little herring, dare to laugh at my big mirage?" ”
Aunt Hui pulled him to sit down, beat him on the back, and while he was not paying attention, she glanced at me and He Yun, and motioned for us to call him quickly. We will understand, immediately knelt down, and the voice was deafening: "Godgrandfather! ”
Our godfather was drinking tea at the time, and he was suddenly shouted, and a sip of tea squirted out, and it fell on our faces impartially, but there was sea water all around, so we didn't have to wipe our faces.
The mirage looked a little angry: "Who told you to shout?" Nonsense, I didn't recognize you! ”
He Yunwu stood up with a "Teng" voice: "Don't admit to pull down, let's go!" I hurriedly stood up and grabbed him, shaking my head.
"Smack!" The table was slammed, which frightened He Yunwu for a while, and the mirage said quietly: "If you dare to go, I will kill you!" ”
"Don't let you go, don't let you stay, you contradict yourself, and you are angry with others!" He Yunwu didn't know where he got the courage to scold him.
"You kid dare to say me? You ......," said the mirage, who was about to smash him as he lifted the table, regardless of the clattering of the kettle and vase to the ground. He Yunwu thought of being scared at this time, and shrank his head and hid behind me. I could see that the mirage was trying to scare him, so I took a step to the side, grabbed someone who was shivering behind me, and pushed him forward.
Before He Yunwu realized what was happening, he collided with the mirage, and the mirage was stunned by the big living person who rushed towards him, and his hand was lost, and the table was out of his hand, and he smashed it towards He Yunwu's head! Fortunately, Aunt Hui cast a spell in time to support the table, and He Yunwu was fine except for being lightly knocked on the corner of the table.
The mirage pushed away the person in front of him, and shook his sleeves and patted himself as if he was covered with dust: "Farce! I don't admit this kiss to death, you guys hurry up! I look annoying, annoying, annoying! "He seemed to be really angry this time.
Aunt Hui pretended to complain on the side: "You heard what my godfather said, fortunately he forgave you magnanimously, you can go quickly." ”
"Don't, I can't stand it, they're my ancestors!" The mirage dragon's chest fell to the ground together, and he seemed to be very angry, "If it weren't for you, Qingqing, I would have eaten these two people a long time ago." It's really angry with me, angry at me! ”
"My father-in-law is open-minded and tolerant, so I'm not angry." Aunt Paint smiled comfortingly, then waved her hand at us, "Let's go." ”
We took a few steps back, turned and stepped out of the door, out of the yard, and through the barrier. Since the mana of the water repellent pill in our body had not yet been exhausted, we swam directly to the shore. On the shore, a man and a cat waited anxiously.
The sun had already risen high in the sky, and the sky was clear and cloudless. Flocks of birds and geese circled past and headed south. And we are destined to go north, never to return.
I looked at the high-spirited He Yunwei next to me, and I had a lot of thoughts in my heart. This person, even if he has a thousand shortcomings, I want to protect him for a lifetime. It's ridiculous to say, I don't even know why, maybe, this is what is in the book, male and female love?
We were silent all the way, and soon bypassed the mountain, and after walking for more than ten days, another mountain appeared in front of us. It stands to reason that it is not uncommon for mountains to appear, but in the wilderness and mountains, there are many people on the mountains who are holding forks, or nets, crossbows, or ropes, standing straight and singing.
"It's really strange," He Yun said worriedly, "I've seen people singing mountain songs, but they are all singing by work, and they have all the tools, but they only pull their necks to sing, which is a bit like waiting for a rabbit." ”
Pin Qilei continued: "Moreover, the mountain songs are generally high-pitched and loud, and their songs ...... But it's so sweet that it's greasy. ”
"Shall we go up and ask?" He Yunwu said excitedly, and rushed forward before we could nod. We had to follow suit.
He Yunchou interrupted a man with a sack in his hand and asked curiously the reason for this. The man was impatient and drove him away, saying "Don't make trouble." Helplessly, he grabbed another person, but he also had the same attitude, so he asked dozens of people like this, and finally someone was willing to answer.
Originally, the name of this mountain is called 杻 (niŭ) Yang Mountain, and there is a city in the north of this mountain - Lushu City is built against the mountain, which is named because of the abundance of Lushu fur. Lu Shu, a kind of strange beast that only survives in Qiyang Mountain, is shaped like a horse, with white tiger stripes, a red tail, a roar like a person singing, wearable fur, and many children and grandchildren after wearing.
And they are singing to attract Lushu, and then capture and sell them for a profit.
