Volume 1 Heaven and Earth Cage Yang Fan, set sail
At noon the next day, while Fan Ling was still asleep, Lin Xiaodie picked up a broom and began to clean up the fallen leaves in the courtyard after doing what she could.
The tender green leaves are swayed back and forth by the sea breeze, cutting the falling sunlight into fine pieces.
The soft sound of the broom sweeping the floor penetrated into the room, and Fan Ling, who was curled up in a ball, moved his ears for a moment, and then moved again.
Fan Ling slowly opened her eyes, sat up after looking at the bright sunlight outside the window, hurriedly put on her shoes and ran out, looking at Fluttershy, who was still cleaning in the yard, and quickly said, "Do you still have the heart to sweep the floor?" ”
Lin Xiaodie stood in place, her hands on the broom, and looked at the young lady in front of her with great interest.
Fan Ling put on shoes in one hand, picked up a book in the other, and jumped out of the yard on one foot, "Still looking, not keeping up." ”
Lin Xiaodie smiled and said, "Miss, have you forgotten that you don't have to go to school today?"
Fan Ling held a book in her right hand, and put her left index finger into the shoe on her right foot, looking very funny, "Oh, I don't have to go to school anymore, oops, why did you forget this stubble, you are still laughing, you don't know how to remind me, it's fun to see me out of trouble." ”
As she spoke, Fan Ling threw the book in her hand into the room, and the book spun in the air and landed on the desk in the room, in an extremely upright position, making a strange face, and walking towards Lin Xiaodie with her teeth and claws.
The second daughter's giggling and slapstick spread far and wide.
"Fan Ling, don't make trouble, come over and have something to eat. The woman's cry was heard in the room.
Finally, after scratching Lin Xiaodie's waist, she responded, "Come on." ”
Lin Xiaodie smiled and said, "Let's go eat some breakfast, I've already eaten, and I didn't wake you up when I saw you asleep." ”
At the dining table, Fan Ling grabbed a pancake with her left hand, held porridge with her right hand, and drank a bowl in three or two clicks, no different from the reincarnation of a starving ghost.
After eating three bowls of washed dishes and five pancakes in a row, Fan Ling patted her stomach with satisfaction, and smiled at the woman and burped.
Since starting to practice with my grandfather, I have become very able to eat, this is still my mother's side, if my mother is not there, she can still eat twice the food, this kind of thing is not the first time to do it, every time she eats a lot of food in the past, Fan Ling can always find a "person" to come out and blame the blame.
After Fan Ling was full, she took Lin Xiaodie all the way to the back mountain, and after not seeing her grandfather, Lin Xiaodie sat on a lawn by herself, looking at the books she brought, while Fan Ling sat cross-legged on a raised stone, looking at the horizon on the horizon in the sky, and that direction was Qilu Continent.
On the Nantian Star, most of it is seawater, and only a piece of Qilu Continent, which accounts for about one-fifth of the size of the Nantian Star, is land.
Qilu Continent is a collective name for many small states that have been merged together, among which Zhongzhou in the central zone is the most prestigious, and the Shenwei Empire is in the center of the continent.
Chang'an, which is the Kyoto of the Shenwei Empire, is also the place where the people of the surrounding countries dream of going, and there is a very interesting proverb in the world, all roads lead to Chang'an.
Fan Ling once asked his grandfather if he had ever been to Chang'an.
The old man naturally said that he had been there.
Fan Ling asked again, what about Chang'an and the sun?
The old man didn't answer, but just asked: What do you think?
At that time, Fan Ling was still young, and she couldn't tell which one was far, but she thought about it for a long time before saying: It must be that the sun is far away, I have only heard that someone has been to Chang'an, but I have never heard of anyone going to the sun.
The old man laughed heartily, then nodded and said an intriguing sentence: When you arrive in Chang'an, you will come back and say.
Fan Ling thought about this sentence for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out until today.
Fan Ling suddenly thought of something, so she also learned from her grandfather's action of often looking up at the sky, and muttered, "Look up and see the sun, but don't see Chang'an..."
At this time, the old man suddenly appeared behind Fan Ling, "Figured it out?"
Fan Ling was clever, and hurriedly slapped her chest, "Ouch, scare the old... Startled me, I said grandpa, can you not be so elusive, it will scare people to death, I suspect that when you practiced in the mainland before, your master was scared to death by you like this, and then you were expelled from the sect like this. ”
The old man who was always wearing a white robe also learned from Fan Ling to sit down cross-legged, and then said with a smile: "You can guess this, my granddaughter is really smart." ”
Fluttershy was so focused on her studies that she didn't even notice the old man's arrival, until she heard the two laughing, and then she got up and called out to Grandpa.
The old man waves his hand and motions for Fluttershy to continue reading.
After hearing the old man's yin and yang weird praise, Fan Ling also smiled and said, "That's no, don't look at who my granddaughter is, I thought about a question for a few years before I figured it out, isn't Na just smart and "absolutely top"." ”
The old man chuckled lightly, but did not speak, but his eyes were as deep as a secluded well, "There is a war on the mainland, you can do something within your power after you go, don't be ambiguous, but you can't rely on your own cultivation to repay everything, so your mood will fall down, grandpa let you meditate here every day, can you understand the meaning?"
Fan Ling nodded, "Understood, grandpa rest assured, don't take the good as a small thing, don't take the evil as a small reason, granddaughter understands when she is young, she will definitely not embarrass her grandfather when she goes to the mainland, I want to rely on my own ability to shout out whose granddaughter I am." ”
The old man nodded, "I believe this, when you come to Yuntian Sect in the future, if someone asks about the seal in your body, you just shake your head and don't know." ”
Fan Ling scratched her head, thoughtful.
Summer on the island is nothing hot, the cool sea breeze fills the island, and even a not-so-thin coat is worn in the morning and at night.
Fan Ling and Lin Xiaodie spent the rest of their time lying on the lawn on the low hill except for one trip back to dinner, and the two talked about everything, from reminiscing about the bits and pieces of their childhood to their ideals when they grew up.
Fan Ling suddenly thought that she forgot to buy wine for the uncle in charge of the execution yesterday, but all the money was robbed by the second-rate Xu Mao, and the thought of this Fan Ling hurt very much, it was the money she had picked up with her ability over the years.
Fan Ling glanced at Lin Lin Xiaodie, and the two sneaked to a rock, Fan Ling poked her head out to look, and after repeatedly making sure that there was no one around, she carefully dug open the soil, revealing seven or eight pieces of silver inside.
Lin Xiaodie covered her mouth, she had never seen so much money since she was a child, "Miss, you shouldn't have stolen this money." ”
Fan Ling glanced at the other party, "What nonsense, this is what I picked up since I was a child." ”
Fan Ling pointed to the largest piece of it and said, "Look at this piece, the biggest, in fact, it was fished up from the pit, and I didn't dare to touch it with my hands after washing it for a long time, this piece was found in the alley next to Chunmanlou... In short, all the money here was obtained by me, and it was definitely not stolen. ”
Lin Xiaodie covered her mouth and snickered, "No wonder Lao Wei, they always like to give you trouble, it turns out that you bribed them with this money?"
Fan Ling grinned, "Otherwise, if I don't think of a way to get the relationship right, then I don't have to open my father's ass to flowers? ”
Lin Xiaodie took a broken silver to Chunmanlou and bought a bottle of fine flower carving, Fan Ling followed behind like a thief, she didn't dare to do this kind of thing by herself, in case his father knew about it, she would be reprimanded at the least, and the silver would be handed over to the treasury.
In the evening, the two returned to the low mountain in the backyard, and tomorrow there will be a merchant ship to the mainland, and then the two will go with the merchant ship, both of them are excited, lying in the quilt and can't sleep, so the two come to the low mountain again and count the stars together.
"Miss, do you think your senior brother and second senior brother are also in Yuntian Sect?" Lin Xiaodie asked curiously.
Fan Ling's head rested on Lin Xiaodie's stomach, and the crossed legs of Erlang swayed, "No, my grandfather said that they traveled in Nantianxing, where is the old man won't tell me, in fact, it is good to go to Yuntianzong, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't go out of line, you always feel constrained at home, you obviously have a skill, and you are not allowed to tell anyone." ”
Lin Xiaodie habitually put her hand on Fan Ling's chin, touching the soft flesh, thoughtful.
The two chatted sentence by sentence, and fell asleep in a daze.
There were stars in the sky, there was not a trace of clouds, and a few meteors crossed at great speed, falling under the sea level on the horizon, and then a round of scorching sun slowly rose.
In the courtyard, Fan Ling's mother tied everything she needed with a piece of cloth to tie it sturdy, and her father was also rare and did not go to the yamen, his face did not look very good, and Fan Ling also stood aside with interest and did not speak.
After the woman tied her bag, she gently put it on her shoulder, and glanced at the man in the official robe, who just glanced at Fan Ling with deep eyes, and then waved her hand, "I won't send it, I will go to the yamen later." ”
Fluttershy and her parents were waiting outside the courtyard early.
Fan Ling stepped forward and took Fluttershy's hand, and the two walked in front, while the three adults talked about homely things in the back.
Lin Xiaodie kept her head down, her eyes red.
The island's dock is not large, but not too small, with several merchant ships large enough to accommodate thousands of people lined up neatly together, and eight smaller boats on either side of the merchant ships, which are used by experienced sailors to catch big fish.
Boxes of goods were put into the cabin by a group of naked men, and there was fish oil in them, squeezed from the big fish caught, and a box of fish oil could be sold for dozens of taels of silver.
But catching a big fish is often accompanied by a fatal risk, in case you run into the king of fish, the group will have to walk around without food, and no matter how big the merchant ship will be overturned in the sea.
While tidying up the clothes of the second daughter, the three adults instructed that the most important thing to say was to come back if they couldn't stay there.
Fan Ling stood on tiptoe and raised her head to look, and sure enough, in a group of topless men, she saw Xu Mao's group of people and others, and she didn't know how they got into the porter's team, which also made Fan Ling feel at ease to go to the mainland.
As a horn sounded, Fan Ling pulled Lin Xiaodie slowly towards the boarding area, Lin Xiaodie was out for the first time, and looked back every three steps, Fan Ling was heartless, and shook her arms vigorously with her back to the three of them.
After the anchor and reins were pulled by the sailors and put on, the ship slowly set apace.
Yang Fan, set sail, the destination is Qilu continent.
