Chapter 30: Human Affection
At night, the herring six islands under the night are like a herring sleeping peacefully in the sound of the sea breeze and tides, lying quietly in the rolling sea. Baiyu Bay, that is, in this bay where Shen Shi, Sun You and other newcomer disciples stayed, there was silence on the beach, and with the bright light sprinkled by the clear starry sky, it was vaguely possible to see that many newcomer caves with mountains and seas behind their backs were also silent at this moment, presumably after the excitement of the day, these excited teenagers have already entered the dream of happiness, and perhaps there are still many people who are looking forward to the cultivation path that will begin the next day.
The white and delicate sand beach originally left many footprints, which were the traces left by these energetic teenagers who came to play here before dark, because among the many new disciples, many of them had never seen the appearance of the sea before today, and they were very curious about everything on the seaside.
It's just that in the dead of night, under the wash of the waves of the tide in the night, the sand is smooth again, and the traces left by the teenagers who have walked and played are inadvertently gently wiped away by the waves.
The sky and the earth are vast, the sky is full of stars, and at this moment when no one is paying attention, there is another quiet beauty in the sky.
But at this time, on the quiet beach somewhere in Baiyu Bay, a figure suddenly walked out, looking at a man in his early thirties, with a solemn face, frowning slightly, walking for a while, stopping for a while, as if looking for something, and after a while, he walked under an unknown tree growing on the edge of the beach, and stood still, quietly waiting for something.
After another half an hour, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind, and the man immediately turned his head to look, and by the starlight in the sky, he saw that it was actually a young man who had not yet fallen asleep in the dead of night, but walked all the way over, and saw that the figure was Shen Shi's neighbor Sun You.
The man looked relieved, and hurriedly greeted him, Sun You saw him, and his face also showed a little intimacy, nodded and smiled: "Uncle." ”
The man who was called Uncle by Sun You grinned, touched Sun You's head with his hand, and then took a little vigilance, raised his eyes and took a closer look at Sun You's way to come, and after making sure that there was no one, he pulled him to the shadow of a big tree next to him, with the trunk to cover it, even if someone looked from a distance, under the cover of this night, it was not clear whether there was anyone under the tree.
In the shadow of the tree, the expression on Sun You's face slowly calmed down, raised his eyes and glanced at the uncle, and after a moment of silence, he asked softly, "How is it?"
The man took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "After you handed over that thing to me, it was a big deal, and it was taken out of the island through the door of the house overnight and sent to Liuyun City. For the sake of prudence, so as not to alarm the Sun family, they used the old lady's face and specially invited the witch master of the Immortal Society's branch 'Jianbaotang' in Liuyun City to see it. ”
Sun You's eyes were bright, he looked at him without blinking, and asked slowly in a low voice: "Uncle, what is the result?"
The man frowned and smiled bitterly, sighed softly, and took out a royal blue cloth bag from his arms, which was the small bag that Sun You had handed to Shen Shi to watch and contained the rare "Fire Worm Incense" during the day, and handed it to Sun You, and at the same time whispered in his mouth: "After the Witch Master saw it, he concluded that although there are several ingenious old methods on it, which are very similar to the ordinary refreshing 'Red Sleeve Agarwood', it is actually a rare piece of 'Fire Worm Incense' that is very beneficial to the monks of the Ning Yuan Realm. ”
Sun You suddenly fell silent and didn't say anything more, and the man standing beside him didn't know what to say for a while, and after a while, he heard Sun You say coldly: "It is also a rare piece of fire worm incense that is extremely poisonous to Qi Refining Realm cultivators." ”
The man was silent, and after a while he whispered, "Little friend, what do you want to do?" After a pause, his voice sounded a little softer, and said, "The old lady already knows about this, and she is already in a rage, but she doesn't know what you mean yet, so we didn't have a seizure." As long as you open your mouth and say it, this kind of wolf-hearted door, let's not do it. Anyway, you are also the grandson of the old lady, and you are the most loved by her old man on weekdays, if you want me to say, it is better to just ......"
Sun You suddenly interrupted him and said, "Uncle, my surname is Sun." ”
The man smiled bitterly and remained silent.
Sun You snorted coldly and said, "What they do is nothing more than for the position of the head of the family, if I go out behind the door, wouldn't it be in line with their hearts and as they wish?"
The man frowned, with a hint of worry on his face, and said: "But they even used such a trick, in case there is any ...... in the future" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh lightly again, and said, "Your mother, that is, my hard-working sister, used to be the tip of the old lady's heart, and she loved her the most, but the old lady looked away, and the one she personally selected turned out to be a white-eyed wolf, I thought it was a happy marriage, but I didn't expect it to hurt my sister." Over the years, the old lady has often sighed at home, full of guilt, and after your mother passed away unexpectedly, the old lady was even more ......"
Speaking of this, the man was obviously a little excited, stepped forward to hold Sun You's shoulders with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyou, if things are not harmonious, you must not be strong, others are afraid of their Sun family, afraid that there is a Sun Mingyang in the Lingxiao Sect behind their Sun family, but our Xu family is categorically not afraid." As long as you are willing to go back to the Xu family, uncle, I will guarantee you with my life, and it will never be possible to treat you as an outsider, and if you are supplied, it will only be better than the Sun family!"
Sun You gritted his teeth, his eyes seemed to be a little hot, but it seemed that this young man seemed to be a very assertive person, stretched out his hand and gently held his uncle's arm, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "Uncle, I understand my grandmother's intentions and your intentions." It's just that...... Why did my mother pass away? In any case, one day, as a son, I must have her spirit card in the ancestral shrine of the Sun family, and there are two more worship tables. ”
The big hand on his shoulder seemed to tense for a moment, and then slowly put it down, the man of the Xu family looked at him deeply, nodded, and there seemed to be a hint of relief in his eyes, and said, "Okay, since you have this in mind, I will send someone to tell the old lady when I turn around." After saying that, he paused and added, "But for now, this ......."
Sun You sneered and said, "Just assume it hasn't happened." Anyway, now that I'm on Qingyu Island, with the rules that Cen Zhenren has built and set in the past 30 years, many families can no longer meddle in the affairs of the sect at will as they did in the past. ”
The man of the Xu family nodded frequently, and he couldn't help laughing out loud as he looked very appreciative of the five-character comment of "golden-faced straw belly".
Sun You also smiled, and after a while, he only heard the man of the Xu family say: "But today's incident is really thanks to your new friend surnamed Shen, otherwise we are in a daze, maybe you have really been plotted by them, and it will be too late to regret it at that time." ”
Sun You nodded, and his eyes subconsciously turned to a place in the large row of caves immersed in the darkness of the night in the distance, and at the same time heard two words of praise from the uncle's mouth, and said: "Speaking of which, this kid's eyesight is really poisonous, I heard the messenger say, when the master Wu saw this piece of fire worm incense, he personally said that the methods of the fake person are quite exquisite, and he is the general shopkeeper in the fairy society, but I am afraid that he may not be able to see through it." ”
Sun You was stunned for a moment and said, "What, the hands and feet on this fire worm incense are so realistic?"
The man of the Xu family nodded and said, "Master Wu has said so, presumably so." ”
Sun You's face changed slightly, and after a while, there was a hint of doubt on his face, and he said, "Could it be ...... Could it be that Shen Shi had already seen that something was wrong at that time, although there was nothing on his face, but he secretly reminded me in his words?"
When the man of the Xu family was said by him, he also came to his senses all of a sudden, his brows furrowed, and he was silent in thought, and after a while, Sun You took a long breath and said: "Forget it, don't care about these for now, anyway, Shen Shi saved my life, and in the end, I owe him a great favor." In addition, I deliberately chatted with him during the day, but I can also chat, and it seems that I will have a good relationship in the future. ”
The man of the Xu family nodded, and seemed to agree with Sun You's decision, and at the same time snorted coldly, and said: "The Sun family is wolf-hearted, and the bloodline of the relatives is unreliable. Okay, it's not early, you still have to go to the Morning Star Hall to practice tomorrow, so go back and rest first. ”
Sun You nodded, said goodbye to his uncle and left, and the man of the Xu family stood under the tree and watched the nephew's back disappear into the darkness before turning around and leaving quietly.
At night, the stars are shining, the sky is silent, and at night, the waves are rolling and rolling, but the water waves are gradually moving away from the beach, and it is time for the tide to recess.
This day finally passed quietly in this dark moment.
※※※
April 11, fine.
A round of red sun slowly rises from the depths of the distant sea, and the warm sunlight radiates a thousand rays of light, reflecting the morning glow on the horizon, and also heralding the beginning of a new day.
On the six islands of herring, everything seems to have just woken up from its slumber, and it is slowly becoming more lively and noisy. Shen Shi flipped his body, opened his eyes and sat up from the bed, stretched out his arms and stretched his chest, and yawned heavily.
In the place next to the pillow, there is also the book of Ling Xiao Jane, last night he was almost all the time reading this book of beginner disciples, and he fell asleep very late, but after all, he was a young man with a lot of energy, but after standing up and moving a few times, Shen Shi felt that he was in good spirits, full of energy, and at the same time, he was full of expectations for this new day.
The long-awaited cultivation is finally about to begin today!
"Knock knock, knock knock!"
The familiar drum-like knock on the door came from the door, Shen Shi smiled, walked over and opened the stone door with a cloud talisman, only to see that it was Sun You standing at the door, laughed, and said cheerfully: "Shen Shi, let's go to the Morning Star Palace!"
