Chapter 9: The Ice Beads
The heavy drink was like spring thunder, overpowering all the voices on the deck!
The sword of the girl in the white dress suddenly stopped, the blade was only half an inch away from Qin Yun's neck, and the cold sword wind pierced his skin, stirring up a pimple.
I saw two fingers firmly pinching the body of the long sword, and their owner was a middle-aged man in a green robe.
It was he who made a move at the last moment to avoid the doom of Qin Yun's corpse on the spot.
"Daddy!"
The girl in the white dress was stunned for a moment, her eyes immediately turned red, and she let go of the hilt of her sword and immediately threw herself into the other party's arms.
Qin Yun, who had escaped death, exhaled a long breath, and the churning qi and blood in his body calmed down slightly, but he was still very uncomfortable.
The middle-aged man put away his long sword, reached out and patted Qin Yun's shoulder gently, and asked kindly, "Little brother, are you okay?"
Qin Yun was shocked, he clearly felt a pure thick aura pouring in from his shoulder, instantly spreading throughout his body, the chaotic true qi in his body suddenly calmed down, and his body regained its flexibility.
"Thanks, I'm fine. ”
Qin Yun was very surprised, the other party was undoubtedly a strong man with good strength, if this shot just now was malicious, it would be able to shatter all his internal organs.
The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties, with a slender figure and an elegant bearing, with a somewhat thin and angular face, and eyebrows somewhat similar to those of a girl in a white dress.
"The little girl has no way to teach, and she doesn't know the severity of her shot, so I apologize to you here. ”
"Dad! it's him."
The girl in the white dress was very unconvinced, and as soon as she justified it, she was glared at by the middle-aged man: "I only saw this little brother stop his fists, and you didn't know how to almost hurt people, and you didn't apologize!"
Saying this, Qin Yun felt embarrassed, in fact, he was also wrong when he said it just now, after his sword was shredded, the other party obviously wanted to stop.
"Uncle, actually"
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"
Before he finished speaking, the girl in the white dress interrupted, and crystal tears rolled down her snow-white cheeks at the same time, looking extremely aggrieved.
After apologizing, she glared at Qin Yun hatefully, and ran back to the cabin with tears in her eyes.
Qin Yun couldn't help but scratch his head, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him.
He didn't have much experience with people of the opposite sex, so he didn't know what to say.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Little brother, don't mind, the little girl is spoiled by me, I am the Fang family of Qianchao City." ”
"Thousand Tides Fangjia"
"It turns out that he is Fang Wentian!"
There were a few whispers from the crowd of onlookers.
"Junior Qin Yun has seen Senior Fang!" Qin Yun politely saluted the other party.
Qin Yun has been painstakingly taught by Qin Yang since he was a child, although he grew up in the countryside, he has learned various etiquette, so he will not be rude in front of people.
Although he didn't know what Fang Wentian's name represented, the other party's status and realm strength were definitely far above him, and it was the proper etiquette to take the initiative to salute.
Fang Wentian nodded secretly, feeling a little more good for Qin Yun in his heart.
He came late, and he didn't know why the girl had a conflict with Qin Yunqi, but he knew his daughter's temperament very well.
Qin Yun stopped his fist at a critical moment, preferring to hurt himself rather than hurt the girl, this kindness and purity made him appreciate it very much, so he took the initiative to report his identity.
I saw Qin Yun reach out and take out an animal skin bag from his arms, and offer it with both hands: "Senior Fang, I was also at fault in what happened just now, this is a gadget I got by accident, please transfer it to Miss Fang, it can be regarded as an expression of my apologies." ”
He didn't have much affection for the unruly girl, but he respected the senior of the Fang family in front of him and made friends with him, after all, the other party saved his life, although the cause was his daughter.
I don't know if it's because of the cultivation of the Chiyan Heart Technique, Qin Yun's usual temperament is a little violent, so Qin Yang often teaches him to be kind and polite to others.
Qin Yun naturally followed his grandfather's teachings in doing this, although the means were a little immature.
Fang Wentian was stunned, and suddenly laughed dumbly.
But what kind of character he is, he didn't ask what was inside, and took it casually: "It's okay, little brother Qin, if you encounter anything in the future, you can go to Fang's house to find me, don't talk about big things, I can still help a little bit." ”
With Fang Wentian's identity, he would definitely not make promises to people easily, but he looked at Qin Yun pleasing to the eye, so he didn't mind forming a good fate.
Of course, he pointed out in his words that if Qin Yun really came to the door, all he could help would be a "small favor".
"The ship is coming to shore!"
At this time, the rough roar of the boss at the helm of the merchant ship suddenly sounded, and the people on the deck realized that the big ship was slowly approaching the big pier on the bank of the river.
In the distance, a majestic giant city stands tall in the green hills.
Thousand Tides City has arrived!
The passengers on the deck returned to the cabin one after another, and Qin Yun saluted Fang Wentian again: "Senior Fang, Thousand Tides City has arrived, forgive me for leaving first." ”
"Good. Fang Wentian nodded: "We will meet again." ”
Unlike Qin Yun, who had just arrived, Fang Wentian knew that the merchant ship would dock at the dock for several days, so he was not in a hurry to leave the ship, and returned to the cabin where he lived without hurrying.
In the luxuriously furnished cabin, a girl in a white dress is leaning on the arms of a middle-aged beautiful woman and sobbing.
Seeing Fang Wentian coming in, she immediately pulled the sleeves of the beautiful woman and said coquettishly: "Mother, you have to be the master for me!"
The beautiful woman's clothes were luxurious and graceful, and her delicate face did not show the slightest trace of time, but there were faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
She patted the girl's shoulder lovingly, raised her head and glared at Fang Wentian: "Wentian, how can you help outsiders bully your daughter!"
"Who bullies whom! You really spoil her too much" Fang Wentian couldn't help but shake his head, and said helplessly: "If it goes on like this, it's too late if something really happens!"
He handed the animal skin bag in his hand to the girl: "This is given to you by Little Brother Qin, saying that it is an apology." ”
"I don't want it, it doesn't look like something clean!" The girl in the white dress pursed her lips disdainfully: "Throw it away!"
This animal skin pocket is only half the size of a palm, and the leather is not a high-end color, and it is also very rough and dusty sewn with twine, which is really not very good-looking.
The middle-aged beauty took it with a smile: "This is also people's intentions, how can you throw it away casually, let me see what is inside." ”
She untied the string at the mouth of the bag and fell over, and a ball immediately rolled out of it and landed in the palm of her hand.
"Ahh
The middle-aged beauty couldn't help but exclaim, looking extremely surprised.
The bead in her palm was the size of a dragon's eye, and its whole body was round and silvery, and it looked like a huge pearl.
It emitted a soft light, and Fang Wentian and the three of them felt a cool breath rushing to their faces, and their spirits were all uplifted.
"This is"
The middle-aged beauty was born in a wealthy family, and she saw a lot of all kinds of rare treasures, but she couldn't see the origin of this silver bead, she only felt that it was very precious.
No one thought that in this crude animal skin pocket, there would be such a bead, and even the girl's eyes were attracted.
Fang Wentian frowned thoughtfully, he reached out and took the silver bead, stroked it with his fingers a few times, and then picked up a teacup from the table next to him.
Putting the silver beads into the cup, Fang Wentian lifted the teapot and poured water into the cup.
The water hit the wall of the cup with a crisp and pleasant sound, and a white mist rose from it.
The teacup was quickly filled, and after a few breaths, the water in the cup turned into ice!
Fang Wentian's face changed suddenly, and he said in a lost voice: "When you encounter water and ice, it is really an ice bead!"
"Dad, what is the Ice Mantis Bead?" asked the girl in the white dress curiously.
"The Ice Mantis Bead is the treasure bead condensed by the essence of the ancient beast Ice Cantile Dragon after its death" Fang Wentian smashed the ice cube in the cup, while explaining: "Legend has it that it can calm the mind and calm the cold and heat without invading, which is very beneficial to people who cultivate the true qi of the water genus, and even has the effect of rejuvenating the face and maintaining eternal youth!"
Taking the silver bead out of the crushed ice, he took a deep breath: "This is a priceless treasure!"
"Stay young and stay young!"
The middle-aged beauty's eyes suddenly lit up, for a woman like her, what priceless treasure could be more heartwarming than this?
It's just that before she could make a move, the girl next to her snatched the ice mantis bead and couldn't put it down.
"Ying'er, didn't you say you didn't want it, that's good for your mother!" said the middle-aged beautiful woman smiled.
"If the mother likes it, of course the daughter should be filial" The girl said coquettishly: "But let the daughter play for a few days first, okay?"
The middle-aged beauty smiled, of course she wasn't greedy for her daughter's things, just joking.
"Husband, since people have given such a precious thing, we should also give something back, otherwise others will laugh at it when we say it. ”
"Oops!"
His wife's reminder made Fang Wentian immediately wake up, and his figure disappeared into the cabin.
He searched all the cabins, and at this time most of the passengers were disembarking, and Fang Wentian did not find Qin Tian on the ship.
And the wharf was bustling with people, where could Qin Tian's figure be found.
Fang Wentian stood on the side of the ship and was stunned, at the beginning, he was still wondering if there was something wrong with this, how could Qin Yun take out such a precious thing and give it away, could there be any conspiracy that could not be achieved?
But he thought about it and ruled out this possibility, because he temporarily took his wife and daughter back to Thousand Tides City, and he got on the boat on the way, how could the other party be so powerful that he could prepare in advance?
The biggest possibility is that Qin Yun himself doesn't know the preciousness of the Ice Bead, because this is a rumored thing, if Fang Wentian hadn't seen the relevant text descriptions in the family secret collection classics, I'm afraid he wouldn't have recognized it.
If this was the case, Fang Wentian didn't want to suffer Qin Yun's benefits in vain, so he naturally had to compensate for it.
It's just that the sea of people is vast, even if they are in the same Thousand Tides City, they may not be able to meet again.
