Chapter 61: Flowers and Leaves Don't See Each Other
The sky was still gray, and the belly of the fish was already showing on the eastern side, but there were still a few remnants of stars on this side, and gradually, the sun slowly peeked out of the sea with half of its head.
The sea surface that was originally afraid of silence suddenly sounded the sound of the flute, melodious, as if through the years, and as if breaking into a dream, accompanied by the slowly rising daylight, the flute sound is tactful, sometimes crisp, sometimes tender, has to make people more immersed in sleep.
Probably because of his training, Lingnan opened his eyes smartly when he heard the sound of the flute.
It was still dark in the cabin, and the kind fisherman couple who had provided them with this accommodation last night.
Lingnan put on his coat and opened the old wooden door, and there was a creaking sound.
"Lingnan, where are you going?" A heavy voice came from behind, and it was Xiu Jie, who was also asleep, who woke up in a daze, his tall body and his action of rubbing his eyes were very contrasting and cute.
"I can't sleep, I'll go out and have a look!" Lingnan replied simply.
The early morning on the sea surface was a little wet and cold, Ling Nan couldn't help but shrink his neck, and the sun's rays gradually fell on the sea surface, emitting a little fine light with the flow of the sea.
Listening to the direction of the sound, a girl was standing at the stern of another ship, facing the direction of the east, into the sound of the flute, a light blue cotton gauze skirt wrapped around the thin body, the soft light fell on her skirt, and the light emitted was more gentle.
In the cold wind, she still straightened her waist, which was more light and graceful.
The girl's cotton yarn fluttered in the wind, the scars on her face appeared from time to time, she closed her eyes tightly, played the flute, and enjoyed the baptism of the cold wind.
In the distance, a white patch is coming this way, and if you look closely, it is really a flock of seagulls. They heard the sound of the girl's flute, and Ling Nan immediately stopped, he was worried that his approach to the seagull would be frightened away.
She seemed to have a lot of fun, attracting more and more seagulls, and the fish in the sea jumped to the sound of the flute, providing the seagulls with a rich breakfast.
Slowly, the sound of the flute came to an end, and the flute was taken away from the girl's lips and hung casually at her side with her hand.
Turning around, she looked at Lingnan not far away, the sun had risen to the sea level, just the light on her face that she turned around, and she saw exactly Lingnan's intoxicated eyes, which had not returned to his senses for a long time, Lingnan's appearance originally looked delicate, and his eyes were also a little pure, at this moment the girl felt that he was very tender when the sun shone on him.
The girl was embarrassed for a few seconds, then lowered her head and entered the cabin.
After that, more and more people came out stretching their waists, and it was time to catch fish.
The two couples from the fishing boat came out of the boat and beckoned them over. Ling Nan smiled and nodded.
The three of them washed up briefly, and then went to another boat.
As he walked, Abu said with sleepy eyes: "I seem to hear the sound of a flute in my sleep." ”
"I heard that, too!" Xiu Jie immediately responded to him.
Ling Nan was still in a daze, and he didn't listen to a word of the conversation between the two of them.
"Lingnan, Lingnan..."Xiu Jie called him several times beside him, and Lingnan reacted a little sluggishly.
"What's wrong?" asked Lingnan in surprise.
"Did you hear the flute?" Xiu Jie asked curiously, although Xiu Jie was big, he was a little silly, and his curious expression seemed to be asking how delicious this candy was?
The curtain of the boat was lifted, Lingnan's eyes were slightly expectant, and it was the badly burned lady who came out, and Lingnan's eyes drooped again.
The eldest lady warmly entertained: "Three young heroes, come into the house." ”
Ling Nan saw the girl, she was sitting with her head down, embroidering, her eyes drooping slightly, and her eyelashes trembling slightly like black butterflies. The cloth is blood-red, and the embroidery is a flower on the other side, a needle and a thread are very serious, they all say that the flowers on the other side bloom for a thousand years, fall for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves will never be seen, but she rusts the leaves on the branches of the flowers on the other side.
Ling Nan naturally didn't understand, he just felt that the flower on the rust was very similar to the poppy in the maple study, both in terms of petals and color.
The eldest lady politely brought a few bowls of porridge, and there was still a smile on her face when she handed it over, and the three of Lingnan still felt very embarrassed, they originally wanted to pay some money to their couple last night, but they didn't want to accept it.
They gratefully took the eldest mother's porridge and sat aside to drink. In fact, the girl heard them coming in, but she didn't look up.
This was said by the eldest lady to the other side: "The other side, you are here to greet a few young heroes!"
The girl named Beyond nodded, not looking up, and continued to rust her flowers.
The eldest lady smiled at them again and walked out.
Without the presence of the eldest lady, the atmosphere became very quiet, and the other side seemed to have gotten used to it, regardless of the flowers on the rusty hands.
Lingnan thought that there was still something important to do, so he couldn't sit still anymore, this was not the time to make a mess, Lingnan reminded himself.
Ling Nanyou glanced at the other side, pursed his lips, and said, "Let's go on the road!"
Abu and Shujay nodded in agreement, and the three of them left together.
At this time, the other side raised his head slightly, blinked his eyelashes slightly, but there seemed to be no spotlight in his eyes, looking in the direction they left.
Uncle Bearded and Auntie were mending fishing nets outside, the sea was calm, and no one was moving.
Ling Nan took a step forward and said, "Uncle, aunt, we still have important things to do, so we won't stay longer." ”
Uncle Beard and Auntie's expressions were a little surprised, not like reluctance, but a little more weird.
The eldest lady laughed a few times and said, "Are you leaving today?"
"The dark clouds are here, the sea is so calm, there may be storms, it is not suitable to go to sea!" An old man with a hunchback walked behind him, and said kindly.
"We still have three horses, and we don't go by water. Lingnan explained.
The old man was a little excited: "We only have a waterway, and the one above is like a maze, and it is difficult to get out." ”
"Listen to my uncle's advice, it's too dangerous to go now, and when the wind and waves pass, you can go to sea, and I'll give you a ride by the way. Uncle Beard said with concern.
They glanced at each other, and made an agreement to stay first, and set off as soon as the storm passed.
Ling Nan was a little reluctant, but he still spoke: "Uncle, do you have a map to go to the White Sea?"
Inside the cabin, when the other side heard the name, he looked up at the people outside the window.
Uncle Beard paused, and smiled innocently: "No, we haven't left this land for a long time, are you going there?"
"Our brother is going there to do something. Lingnan still deliberately concealed some facts, even though the people in front of them were good enough to them, they had to hide their identities as well.
