Chapter 23: Brother-in-law?
"Dude, it's all empty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Mu Li ran over excitedly in tears.
"Then let's go, it won't be long before the people here will find us. The two of them took advantage of the night to quickly leave Suoyun City and head towards Yinyang Island. "Little tears, thanks to you this time. On the way, Murong Lan said sincerely.
"Hey~ Brother, tell me what are you doing here. Mu Li responded indifferently with tears.
The two returned to Yangzhidao to join Murong Yu.
"Third brother, thanks to Xiao Tears, he solved the matter by mistake. Entering the cave, Murong Lan shouted loudly.
"Everything is settled?" Murong Yu was also excited when he heard Murong Lan's words.
"Yes, we can search for our family with all our strength in the future, and I have left a secret message in many places in Lock City. Murong Lan happily said the matter, "Let's build this first, and then Xiao Tear and I will go to other islands to look for it." ā
"Well, I'll stay here and wait for my family to arrive. Murong Yu also gradually picked up his confidence.
Three days later.
"Third brother, remember to be cautious, don't attract the attention of others, and don't waste your cultivation. Murong Lan gave instructions before leaving.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful. Murong Yu replied.
The current situation is good, as long as you are cautious, you can proceed smoothly, so Murong Lan no longer grinds, and spreads her body and falls on the back of the sea fish called by Mu Li's tears.
"Little tears, have you figured out where we're going?" asked Murong Lan after standing firm.
"Hehe, brother, let's go to Sihai Island first. It's a trading island, and it's certainly well informed. Mu Lixian seemed to have planned for a long time, "Moreover, the New Year's Festival is coming soon, and the four islands hold a large-scale auction every year, and we can use this stall to sell the things we don't need." ā
"Well, yes, kill two birds with one stone. Murong Lan also agreed with this decision.
After several days of sailing, the two finally saw land.
"Ah~ It turns out that the four islands are made up of four islands. From a distance, Murong Lan saw four islands that were not big or small appear in front of him.
"Yes, there are a total of four forces here, each occupying an island, so it is very chaotic, but this also indirectly completes the peripheral trade; over time, this 'Four Seas Auction' has become a signboard, and now the four forces also attach great importance to it, and every time it comes to the auction, the four parties behave like relatives. ā
"Hehe, it's all about interests, let's get to the island nearby. While speaking, Murong Lan and the others chose a nearby island and climbed on.
"There are a lot of people here. Murong Lan looked at the scene of people coming and going, and was very surprised.
"It's going to be auctioned soon, and these are all here to do business. Mu Li said with tears, "Brother, are we looking for an inn or renting a place?"
"Stay at the inn, it's better informed. "These things Murong Lan gave to Mu Lixian to do, anyway, no matter how he chose in the past, Mu Lixian had to find some faults, and then he simply relied on him.
"Good. Mu Li chose an inn with a good appearance, and at first glance, there were many special meals. Murong Lan has been observing the surroundings since landing on the island, and found that the architecture here is completely different from the inland, and it is not very different from Suoyun City, which is more like the architectural style of the human race, and this is completely characteristic of other races: the foundation is all stone, and some houses are built with bamboo on top of the stone houses. This makes it interesting to live in a two-story house, one made of bamboo in the summer and one made of stone in the winter. Look at the people around you, there are really what they look like, and the surprise of the human race can basically be attributed to: different hair colors, some facial features are a little exaggerated, and then there are some characteristics of sea beasts.
"Hey, interesting. Murong Lan watched as he walked, and followed Xiao Er into the underground house. The house is divided into several rooms, each with its own purpose. "Well, I really didn't expect that although this place is underground, it is not boring at all. "Murong Lan has been interested in this building since he entered the stone house.
"Hehe, brother, if you're interested, why don't you go find a stonemason to study?" Mu Li sat down on the chair and began to eat the fruit on the table.
"Well, we're going to stay here for a while anyway. After saying that, Murong Lan no longer paid attention to Mu Li's tears, who had eaten so much, and found a room to cultivate.
The next day, Murong Lan got up early and woke Mu Lixian from his sleep, and then, in the midst of Mu Li's tearful chatter, the two of them asked in the inn where the best stonemason's house on the island was.
"Little tears, let's go. That stonemason was supposed to live on the east side of the island. After getting the information, the two walked to the stonemason's residence, during which Murong Lan quietly left a lot of secret codes for the Murong family, hoping that those who saw the codes would take the initiative to find them.
"Brother, that stone house should be the blacksmith's home. Mu Li tearfully pointed to a small stone house in front of him and said.
"I think it's also true, it's rare to see such a big stone house. Murong Lan and the others did not go in immediately, but pointed at the stone house outside the house, and there was no means to build a house underground, and a stone house of this scale could not be built. Just when the two were talking and laughing, something unexpected happened to Murong Lan: I saw a person walking out of the stone house and directing people to work; when Murong Lan saw this person, he was immediately stunned and speechless for a while.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Mu Li asked in confusion when she saw that Murong Lan suddenly stopped talking, and her eyes were round, staring straight at the stone house.
"Sister!" Murong Lan's lips trembled, and it took a long time to spit out a word. The person who came out of the stone house was none other than Murong Yue.
"Are you?" Murong Yue also discovered Murong Lan and the others, looking at Murong Lan very familiarly, but he was still on the run, and he didn't dare to reveal his identity for a while, so he had to ask briefly.
"Sister, I'm Xiao Wu. Murong Lan said excitedly with tears in her left eye.
"Xiao Wu!?" Murong Yue was startled at first, then looked left and right and pulled Murong Lan and the others into the stone house as soon as possible, "Xiao Wu, you are still alive, it's great." Murong Yue looked at Murong Lan, just like Murong Yu, looking at Murong Lan's eyes, tears couldn't stop flowing, "These eyes are all my fault......
"Sister, don't talk about this, come with me, I found the third brother. ā
"Have you found Murong Yu?" said Murong Yue emotionally.
"Yes, come with me, I'll find them one by one. ā
"I, I ......"
"Sister. What's wrong?" Murong Lan saw that Murong Yue's face was embarrassed, and immediately asked, "What do you have to hide?"
"Little Five, I'm married. Murong Yue said in a low voice.
"Are you married?!" Murong Lan was also shocked by this information.
"Well, when I fell into the sea, I didn't know where I was drifting, and one day I happened to come across a merchant ship, so I came up to ask for help, and they planned to ignore me. Later, it was your brother-in-law's strong request that rescued me. Murong Yue said while introducing Murong Lan and the others into the house.
In the days that followed, he also took care of me many times, and when I arrived on these four islands, I learned that he was a well-known stonemason, and that he was invited to help people build stone houses when he rescued me. ā
"Then you won't get married. Murong Lan said in a low voice.
"It's a coincidence, when we returned to this island, we were just in time for the boss family to sell our blood guards as slaves, and your brother-in-law saw my thoughts, so he bought those blood guards without asking, and it just so happened that he was a stonemason and needed labor, so no one cared. And I also thank him for saving his life, plus these blood guards, so I married him. ā
"Well, this guy is good, and I think it should be good for you. Murong Lan lowered her head, her face was slightly thoughtful, "Then our family's blood guards are here?"
"I don't know how many escaped, but there are nine people here. Murong Yue said.
"Brother, needless to say, these useless things, it just so happens that we also need to build a residence, ask my brother-in-law if he would like to go with us, if so, everything will not be solved?" Mu Li interjected beside him.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce it, this is the younger brother I recognize, called Mu Lixi, Xiaotear, this is my fourth sister - Murong Yue. Murong Lan introduced the two of them.
"Fourth sister is good. Mu Li greeted with tears and laughter.
"Hello, hello. Murong Yue was still the same as before, a little shy.
Because of Murong Yue, the three of them were inexplicably silent for a while, and then Murong Yue asked, "You want to build a house?"
"yes, I was still worried at first, I really didn't know that I could build a house underground, which was just right for the situation at the moment. Murong Lan said.
"Okay, I'll ask you. With that, Murong Yue walked into the house, which was also to avoid the embarrassment just now. It didn't take long for Murong Yue to bring out a strong man, this person had a peaceful face, he looked not young, his eyes were full of vicissitudes, and his figure was very burly, especially those hands, his perennial work made his hands much bigger than ordinary people's, but what made Murong Lan feel a little relieved was that the other party was a human race.
"Young Master!" Without waiting for the strong man to speak, the blood guards who came out with Murong Yue and the others saw Murong Lan, and they all stepped forward and knelt on the ground, shouting excitedly.
"Get up, get up. Looking at the nine people kneeling on the ground, Murong Lan's voice also began to choke, and he quickly helped them up.
"Yes. The nine blood guards stood up one after another, and then stood neatly aside.
"Hehe, you're going to dig me up when you just came. The strong man laughed.
"Xiao Wu, this is your brother-in-law - Xi Xiangnan, Xiang Nan, this is my cousin - Murong Lan, that is his brother-in-law - Mu Lixi. ā
"Hello, brother-in-law. Murong Lan and the others said at the same time.
"Hello. Xi Xiangnan spoke very concisely, and then continued, "Listen to your sister, do you want us all to go with you?"
"Brother-in-law, I want to build a family again on this sea, please help me. Murong Lan didn't lie, went straight to the point, and bowed deeply to Xi Xiangnan. Murong Lan's humble attitude moved Murong Yue: When did this little five put his posture so low in the past.
"You kid, how can I refuse such a big gift. Xi Xiangnan laughed twice and said.
"Thank you, brother-in-law. Murong Lan didn't give the other party a chance to repent, and gave another salute. This move surprised the blood guards on the side.
"Okay, my eldest young master, I've convinced you. Xi Xiangnan waved his hand, "However, these nine blood guards of your family have cost me a lot of money, and you have to pay me back." ā
"Huh?" Murong Lan was a little overwhelmed by Xi Xiangnan's words.
