Volume 1 The Long Night in the Sky Chapter 99 Night Talk by the Sea
Triangle City may be the only place where this heavy snow has not swept, at the North City Gate, Ma Liu'er, who is wearing a thin cotton jacket, holds a piece of fried oil cake, sits on the stone pier, and puts a wooden sword on his knees, looking at the North City Gate is much more lively than in previous years.
This year, however, is different.
He took a bite of the oil cake, and a pair of eyes roamed back and forth on those Jianghu people who entered the city, and his eyes flashed with a different kind of look.
"Don't look at it, Ma Yu'er, even if you stare out a pair of eyes, you won't be able to become those heroes. ”
Hearing this, Ma Liu'er looked up at the black strong young man who was also squatting not far away and said:
"Who said that if I have to be a hero, I can't be a villain?"
"It's just you, don't be funny, Ma Yu'er, worship your sword. ”
Ma Liu'er smiled, and a group of children ran not far away, not very old, and when they ran to the edge of the wall, most of them were panting very hard, and a girl with a diagonal pigtail pointed to a place in the triangle city, and said to the two teenagers:
"Brother Liu'er, Brother Tietou, there is going to be a fight over there in Xuanwutai again. ”
The black young man rubbed his cheeks and said:
"What's so good-looking, these people from the south are scary, not a sword fairy, but a sword god, but the day before yesterday, the daughter-in-law of our king shoemaker in Dongniba Lane, who can only cook soup and vegetables, slapped a sword god away. ”
The little girl with braids in her braids said with a red face in a hurry:
"It's not just not, that sister is very powerful, and she is also very good-looking, she plays with a mandarin duck knife, which is very good-looking, and a few of us have gone up to challenge it, and it has been beaten down. ”
When the black and strong iron head heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.
Ma Liu'er casually touched the trousers full of patches, wiped off the grease on her hands, pointed to the girl's braids and said:
"Dudu, your dad got drunk on your hair. ”
"It's weird and pretty. ”
........
On the shore of the East China Sea in Jiazhou, fishing boats ripple in the sea, and the wind and snow in Jiazhou are much milder than other places in Nanzhao, and the thin snow has long been turned into water when the wind blows.
Changqing put a few bags of water on the deck, and pulled the iron anchor that sank to the bottom of the water to the boat, and the pair of thief eyes of Haisheng, who helped Changqing install the black peng, kept looking at the Yan Lingyu sitting at the stern of the boat and looking up to admire the seabirds.
Then he mysteriously lowered his voice and said:
"Changqing, where did you deceive the girl who came back, she is so good-looking. ”
Changqing put down the work at hand and said to the sea:
"Haisheng, others don't know me, don't you know, how can you say it's a lie. ”
Haisheng asked:
"Why did that guy go to sea with you? ”
Changqing said with a shy face:
"That's because she wants to follow me alive and dead, probably because my appearance is too handsome and my character is too good. ”
Hai Sheng stuck out his tongue and scraped twice in a row on his dark little face:
"Bah, you're not ashamed. ”
......
The sun fell from the clouds, making the blue sea bluer, Changqing looked back at the shore, and Haisheng, who was about to turn into a small black dot, was still waving his hand vigorously, the corners of Changqing's mouth tugged, he liked Haisheng's innocence, just like he liked Cheng Jing's blue sea, so Haisheng was more suitable for a small fishing village and this sea as her name.
Changqing shook the long sword in his hand, drawing the oars at random, and the fishing boat was like a small swimming fish in the sea.
Yan Lingyu, who had been sitting alone in the stern of the boat, was a little silent.
Changqing suddenly felt a little guilty, and said warmly:
"Hey, are you scared when you get here? Don't worry, in general, the old man is still good, but he can't leave the fairy island for the rest of his life, anyway, I'll go ashore first when the time comes, if he doesn't get sick, I'll let you two see each other again." ”
Yan Lingyu looked at the blue sea and said indifferently:
"Although my father and mother often quarrel, but I think, he is indeed my real father, as for my father does not like me, it is probably because my mother loves someone who is not him, and my mother has never given him a good face, after my mother died, it is estimated that it is difficult for him to face me, after all, everyone says that I am very similar to my mother. ”
For a while, Changqing didn't know what to say, at that time, a flash of inspiration, coupled with what she said, only then did he decide that this woman was the child of Old Man Huang, and now that the other party said so, he really doubted the truth of the matter.
"So what you're saying is true, you really just want to come out alone, walk around, while you still have a chance, and your chance is me, the wicked man. ”
Changqing said with a wry smile.
Yan Lingyu suddenly stared at Changqing, her long hair moving with the wind, and her beauty was very clean.
"I said, I am the daughter of a strict family, one day I will shoulder the responsibility, I heard that it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles, but I can't travel ten thousand miles, so I can only read ten thousand books, and suddenly one day, a stupid good person claimed to be a thief and broke into my boudoir, so I had the possibility of traveling thousands of miles. ”
Changqing smiled and said:
"You big family members are really tired and think a lot, but since you're here, let's go and see, in case you're wrong. ”
Yan Lingyu lowered her head, the fluff of the mink fur was blown by the wind on her face, her face was not round, there was not much flesh, and she even looked a little thin.
At this moment, Changqing's heart softened and softened.
.......
The history of the Immortal Island can be traced back to the distant Xian Zhou, the first Zhou had a king named Ji Ji, during his reign he was extravagant, and his obsession with authority is rare in the world, when he was old, he ordered countless elite warriors to look for immortal medicine for him, one of these warriors discovered the immortal island, it is said that the retinue of the warrior disappeared mysteriously, and only one of them was left to return to his life, just when he brought back the news of the immortal island.
Gongzi Qixing asked for the people to kill his father and seize the throne, but what later generations were most concerned about that period of history was not the fairy island, not the murder of his father, but the whereabouts of Ban Shiyi, the queen of Jiji.
The night has come, some stars are dotted on the sea, and Yan Lingyu is fascinated.
Changqing dropped the anchor and stepped into the cold water, the biting chill gradually turning into a tingling, so much so that he narrowed his eyes.
Walk slowly towards the shore.
Looking at the familiar scene through the moonlight, I just don't know where Old Man Huang has gone.
Yan Lingyu looked at Changqing's back curiously.
At this moment, a sea beast with a black body turned out of the water and sprinkled countless droplets in midair.
Changqing looked up at the sea beast, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an arc.
......
When the dark night and the bright stars were completely reflected on the sea, the three of them chatted happily around the fire.
"Hahaha, evergreen boy, how did you come up with it, it seems that in your eyes, the old man and I are quite a jade tree in the wind. ”
A large piece of sea beast meat was skewered from a twig, and the burning flame of the coconut shell roasted the meat with grease.
When burned, this sun-dried coconut shell has a faint woody aroma, which is best used for grilling meat.
Changqing casually stirred the fire with a wooden stick and said in frustration:
"I've been suspicious for a long time, but I've also thought about it, maybe when you were young, you were also romantic. ”
I don't know for what reason, Old Man Huang tied his messy hair very neatly.
He looked straight at the young woman opposite, and said gently:
"You're so much like her. ”
Yan Lingyu sat on a huge coconut stump, where there was originally a coconut tree, but now it had been cut into a chair by Old Man Huang's sword qi.
She smiled and nodded.
Old Man Huang gently poked the sea beast meat with the evergreen Thorny Dragon Sword.
"This meat is not cooked yet, this sea beast, I still don't know what the scientific name is, but roasted old is more delicious. ”
Yan Lingyu suddenly looked up at Old Man Huang and said:
"She's sad, she's been sad all her life, you know. ”
The sea breeze brings the sound of the waves, but it can't dilute the silence.
Changqing coughed lightly.
Old man Huang said slowly:
"I was just a Jianghu man at the time, your mother was a scholar woman, and there was a marriage contract, she had her responsibilities, I was also young at that time, and I also had my pride. ”
Yan Lingyu's expression suddenly darkened, and he smiled slightly:
"Originally, I would have thought that you were just a ruthless master of the rivers and lakes, and when you met a beautiful girl from the Shi clan, you just had a little affection, but I didn't expect it to be such a boring result, and you didn't even have a good playbook. ”
Old man Huang smiled slightly, looked at Yan Lingyu and said:
"You're all alike, even the encounters are unexpectedly similar, aren't you, otherwise you would be moved by Changqing's words? , She was the same back then, a goldfish raised in the deep boudoir, wanted to swim to the rivers and lakes outside, see the wind and rain, speaking of which, I and your mother also knew each other, a man-made disaster, the young master of the rivers and lakes and the fallen lady of the Shi clan, I took her to Liangzhou to drink osmanthus brew, took her to Qingyun Mountain to visit the immortals, went to Jiazhou to eat the mud crab in the autumn of that year, she said she envied the heroine, I said don't envy, the heroine also wants to eat and shit, she said I was cheesy, I said that those heroines walk the rivers and lakes all year round, their hands are calluses, butt balls The horses are all hard lumps, because they walk the rivers and lakes all the year round, and most of them are yellow and thin. She also said that I have not had a lot of heroines, women talk about crooked reasoning, we can't compare. ”
Changqing and Yan Lingyu quietly listened to Old Man Huang's story.
"But at that time, my skin was really thin, if I say don't go back, anyway, your family thinks you are in trouble, and it is estimated that she will stay, how can there be so many regrets. ”
Yan Lingyu shook his head and said:
"Unfortunately, there is no if, and there is no but. ”
The topic began to become boring, and Changqing yawned, sliced a piece of meat with his sword and put it in his mouth.
Old Man Huang suddenly opened the topic and asked Changqing:
"I feel that your breath has stabilized a little, what's the matter, your body is healed?"
Changqing smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"I feel cheated, and if I toss it like this, I will live for two or three more years. ”
When Old Man Huang heard this, he rubbed his nose.
Yan Lingyu looked up at Changqing, and his nose suddenly itched.
