12. Beihai Kingdom (3)
After Xuanyuan Rongfang left Yong'an Residence, he quickly came to Xuanyuan Rongxue's residence, Shuixiang Pavilion, and saw Xuanyuan Xue'er sitting on the swing in the courtyard pouting and tearing flower petals.
"My Xue'er is pising off flowers again?" said Xuanyuan Rong smiled and approached.
Seeing Xuanyuan Rongfang coming over, Xuanyuan Rongxue was happy, and then pursed her small mouth, turned her back, supported her chin with both hands, and didn't look at him.
"Xue'er, are you still angry?" Xuanyuan Rongfang walked in front of Xuanyuan Rongxue and sat down.
"Hmph. Xuanyuan Rongxue turned around.
Xuanyuan Rongfang moved the ground again, facing Xuanyuan Rongxue, and Xuanyuan Rongxue was turned around again.
Xuanyuan Rongfang knew that Xue'er was playing with a child's temper again, so he took out a shadow puppet man bought in the Central Plains from his arms and fiddled with it in front of Xuanyuan Rongxue, "Xue'er, don't be angry, look at what fun little things my brother brought from the Central Plains?"
Xuanyuan Rongxue pushed his hand away, only to see that the shadow puppet in Xuanyuan Rong's hand accidentally fell to the ground, covered with muddy water, she instantly blamed herself, but still refused to bow her head, stubbornly looking in the other direction.
Xuanyuan Rongfang picked up the shadow puppet on the ground, wiped the mud stains on it, and fiddled with it in front of her again, "Xue'er, good, my brother didn't mean to ignore you, but Fang Cai has something important to discuss with his father." As soon as this is over, I will come to see you immediately, you see, even the shadow puppet knows that he is wrong, and he is apologizing to you! I'm sorry. ”
No matter what Xuanyuan Rong said, Xue'er still didn't pay attention to him.
Xuanyuan Rong put down the shadow puppet in his hand, sat down beside Xue'er, straightened her body, and said seriously: "Xue'er, our people live under the haze of fear every day, and they are terrified. One day, you, and my father, will disappear in front of my eyes like those who spontaneously combusted, and I can only watch and be helpless, so it is really important for my brother to solve this problem, because it is related to the life of the person I love the most. ”
Xuanyuan Rongfang looked at the sun that was gradually sinking in the west, squinted his eyes, people died like lights going out, and the fate between people was only this life.
Looking at Xuanyuan Rongfang's face of wind and frost, Xuanyuan Rongxue was extremely distressed, and stretched out her hand to hug him gently, "Brother, I won't let you have an accident, Xue'er will protect you." ”
Xuanyuan Rongfang also hugged Xue'er gently, "Xue'er hasn't grown up yet, and now she has to be protected by her brother." ”
"Cher has grown up, and Cher can protect her brother. ”
"Silly girl. ”
"Xue'er is not making trouble, brother, don't be sad, soon, it will get better soon, when the time comes, no one will have any more pain, and we will be free and easy as before." ”
Xuanyuan Rongfang put away his sad emotions, let go of his embrace, and rubbed Xuanyuan Rongxue's head, "Xue'er is so good." By the way, my brother also bought a lot of other gadgets from the Central Plains, you see. He pulled some gadgets out of his bosom.
Xuanyuan Rongxue was overjoyed to see that his clothes were stuffed and bulging, and they came out of his clothes one by one like a trick, and asked curiously, "What are these?"
"When I went to the Central Plains, I found that the women there were all dressed up very well-looking, different people wore different heads, like this, what is it called step shaking, walking trembling and trembling; ”
Xuanyuan Rongxue sat up straight and asked Xuanyuan Rong to put a bead hairpin on his head.
After wearing it, she didn't feel that her head sank a little, she took a picture of the pool on the side, turned her head happily and said, "Brother, do you think I look good?"
"Well, it's good-looking. ”
"Is there any better girl than the girls you saw in the Central Plains?"
"Our Cher is the best-looking. ”
"Brother, you are the best for Cher. Xuanyuan Rongxue ran back, holding one of Xuanyuan Rongfang's arms, and leaning on his shoulder.
"Then what did Xue'er want to show her brother?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. When her brother was away, Cher learned to draw from the painter, and you can see that Cher has drawn a lot. Xuanyuan Rongxue said that the wind is the rain, and immediately stood up and pulled Xuanyuan Rongxue to the study in the hall.
When I came to the study, I saw all kinds of paintings hanging on the walls of the study, which was a world that Xuanyuan Rongfang had never seen.
"Cher, what are you painting here?"
"Brother, haven't you seen it?"
"My brother has been through both the Central Plains and the Saiwai, but he has never seen what Xue'er depicted, is Xue'er drawing it with her own imagination?"
Xuanyuan Rongxue glanced at Xuanyuan Rong, and then said enthusiastically with a smile, "Brother, then let me explain it to you, this is the blue ocean, where all kinds of creatures live, there are singing sharks, giant sharks that can bite people, and dragons ........"
"The dragon is just a legend, it is the symbol of the emperor of the Central Plains, but no one has ever seen it. ”
"No, I believe it's real, it's just that it's not allowed to exist in the human world. ”
"Then what is this?" Xuanyuan Rongfang pointed to a butterfly in the water and said with a smile, "How can a butterfly be in the water?"
Xuanyuan Rongxue stared at the butterfly for a long time, "It is not a butterfly flying on the land, it is a butterfly parasitic on the dragon's body, called "Water Dragon Butterfly", since birth, the water dragon butterfly will choose the dragon in the water as a parasite, remove other parasites on his body for him, and draw nutrients from it, so the dragon is the most important friend, partner, relative, or ...... for it in life People who like it. ”
Xuanyuan Rongfang looked at what his sister said and smiled, he only thought it was the whimsy of his youngest daughter's family, and he didn't debunk it.
"Oh, I see. ”
Looking at Xuanyuan Rongfang's look of disbelief, she continued to explain: "Since parasitism, it means that a contractual relationship has been formed between the dragon and the water dragon butterfly, and they will live and die together, so for the water dragon butterfly, no one will be allowed to harm its parasitic master. Besides, the dragon clan is an ancient god clan, and it will not be destroyed. ”
"So you mean, there are not only dragons but also water dragons and butterflies now?"
"Yes. Xuanyuan Rongxue nodded seriously.
"Silly girl. Xuanyuan Rongfang rubbed Xuanyuan Rongxue's head.
At this time, Xuanyuan Rongfang saw a painting, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he felt that he finally stopped knowing anything about these paintings, "I know where this painting is, it's Beihai, and Xue'er and I have been there, right?"
Xuanyuan Rongxue glanced at the sea, showed a sad look, and nodded, "Yes, we've all been there!"
Just when Xuanyuan Rongfang was about to leave these wonderful ideas, Yu Guang swept to the painting next to him, and he carefully compared it with the painting with the sea next to him, and his face gradually showed doubts, "Why are these two paintings obviously painting the North Sea, one painting has mountains, and the other painting has no mountains, in my impression there are no mountains above the North Sea?"
"When the mountains are flooded, there are no more. Xuanyuan Rongxue was a little sad when she said this, "The mountain crushes all good things. ”
"Is this what Cher imagined again?"
"No, it's real. ”
"Is it the same as a water dragon butterfly?" Xuanyuan Rongfang's words were fluttering, and his words already had a taste of ridicule, he just thought that Xue'er had a rich imagination.
He turned his head, but saw Xue'er frowning, thinking that he had said something wrong, so he had to comfort: "The subsidence of mountains and seas is like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, and life is predestined and cannot be changed." ”
"No, I don't believe in fate, brother, don't forget, I'm an exception. ”
"Yes, yes, I forgot that we Xue'er are the darlings of God. Xuanyuan Rongfang touched Xue'er's head dotingly, and then changed the topic, "Xue'er is awesome at painting, she almost dares to be a court painter." ”
Xuanyuan Rongxue swept away her displeasure, raised her immature face, and smiled happily at Xuanyuan Rong.
"Let's go, my brother will take Cher to fly a kite!"
"Hmm!"
