Chapter 4 (2)
Nangong Xue said "um" and said, "Let's not talk about this." It's just that there is one more question that bothers me so much, do you think Menglin and they have a lot of things to hide from us?" Li Yijie said: "How do you say this?"
Nangong Xue said: "Although everyone has been inseparable these days, they have never really opened their hearts. Several of them were very secretive about their origins, and they only talked about Miss Yun, do you think she fled because of famine? I said that she must be a young lady from a big family, even if it is famine, it should not affect her. Taking a step back, it is reasonable to go with the family, if her father and mother are willing to make sacrifices, they will starve to death, what can they help Miss Yun?"
Li Yijie said: "It is much easier for one person to go to the palace than for a whole family." Even if it is a famous family, but now the situation is chaotic, and the family road has suddenly declined, there are also some. Yun'er, she is a lonely and weak woman, why do you always target her?" He really felt indescribable pity for Shen Shiyun, and when he tried his best to explain to Nangong Xue, he was also convincing himself.
Nangong Xue sighed and said, "Since you already believe that Miss Yun is a good person in your heart, it is useless for me to say more." But Yan Chen and Meng Lin's attitude towards Soul Breaking Tears is also too fanatical, and it has long gone beyond the scope of 'interest', don't you feel suspicious?"
Li Yijie said: "Meng Lin wants to see the tears of the broken soul, the girls are always very interested in jewelry!" He is free and cheerful by nature, and he has never cared about subtleties. Nangong Xue's mind was very delicate, and said: "You don't understand, they open their mouths and keep their mouths closed, and they always say the word 'obtain'." And that kind of look is no different from that of a decent greedy person - it is clearly a look that wants to take it for himself!"
Li Yijie was speechless for a long time, Nangong Xue knew that he had always valued affection the most, and Shicai's words were indeed excessive. Thinking that when he was arrogant on weekdays, he was comforted by his kind words, but at this moment, he was cranky, which only increased the annoyance of his senior brother, and he was quite apologetic in his heart, and gently held his hand. Li Yijie held her back, looked at her side face, and looked even more delicate under the moonlight, her eyelashes were lowered, but her expression was very sad, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, which was staggered with the shadow of Shen Shiyun in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel excited.
Nangong Xue was also peeking at him, the two of them met their eyes, their faces were red, and they twisted their heads away. Li Yijie looked up at a bright moon in the night sky, and Nangong Xue looked at the moon shadow in the water.
In a trance, I don't know when, Nangong Xue exclaimed, "Ahhh Li Yijie shouted: "Father-in-law!-Father-in-law!" but no one answered, Nangong Xue rushed to the bow of the ship early, but where was there any trace of the father-in-law?
Li Yijie suddenly woke up and said: "It's not good, we have been tricked! This captain must be a subordinate of that Lord Cao, he was wary of someone robbing the dart, so he arranged in advance for someone to drive the boat and wait on the shore. ”
Nangong Xue said: "This person is very thoughtful, so what should we do now?" Li Yijie said: "It's helpless, let's think about mending the hole first, and then scoop up the water in the cabin!"
However, the boat was empty, but there was nothing to make up. Just as he was in a hurry, dark clouds suddenly rolled in the air, like a huge iron pot upside down, so dark and heavy that people couldn't breathe. A dazzling lightning pierced the sky like a sharp sword, a huge thunder roared, and the torrential rain poured down, which was really in response to the "house leak happened to rain overnight", and on the vast sea, how could this dilapidated boat withstand such wind and waves? Seeing that it was about to sink, Li Yijie suddenly thought that Shen Shiyun was still resting in the cabin, and he was so shocked that his soul flew out of the sky, and he rushed in to save people.
The wind swept the waves and slapped the boat heavily, and after a short time, the planks of the boat were broken everywhere, Li Yijie held Shen Shiyun and leaned on a piece of crosswood, and suffered several big waves in a row, his physical strength was already exhausted, and he gradually lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I was in a dense forest, surrounded by ancient trees, and some light penetrated through the cracks in the trees. I think it was a blessing that I drifted here with the crosswood last night, although I arrived on a deserted island, I finally didn't die at the bottom of the sea. Although the rainstorm was like a lifetime, Li Yijie still had palpitations in his heart, and when he turned his head, he saw Shen Shiyun lying on his side, his head resting on a flat grass, his long wet hair was scattered over his shoulders, his face was pale, but his breathing was still even, showing that he was safe and sound, and his heart was settled.
Walking alone to the depths of the dense forest, he made a fire to dry his wet clothes, and now he knew that his life was fine, and he felt hungry and thirsty. Seeing that there were some wild fruits on the tree, he didn't care about anything else, so he jumped up the tree with light skills, anyway, it was an ownerless fruit, and he didn't need to avoid it, and he took it wantonly to satisfy his hunger, and the entrance was extremely sweet. Li Yijie hurriedly picked some more in his arms, and then turned around.
After a while, Shen Shiyun had already woken up and asked, "Brother Li, where are we?" Li Yijie gave a rough overview of last night's danger, stuffed a fruit into her hand, and comforted: "It's okay now!" Thinking of Nangong Xueshang's uncertain life and death, he couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for being confused, Shen Shiyun was very understanding, saw through the reason for his troubles, and said: "Brother Li, you go to find Miss Xue'er, I don't care about it here." ”
Li Yijie said: "Okay, you are so careful. I didn't have time to be polite with her, so I went to look for it, but fortunately, I saw Nangong Xue leaning against a big tree and sobbing, and a long sword broken in two was thrown on the ground. Li Yijie was overjoyed, ran forward to support her shoulder, and said happily: "Xue'er, it's okay if you're fine! I'm relieved!" Nangong Xue waved her arms and said coldly: "Is there anything wrong with me, what does it have to do with you? I'm already dead, what are you doing at this time?"
Li Yijie knew that she was extremely unhappy in her heart, raised her hand and slapped herself hard, and only said: "I was not good last night, I came to compensate you!" Nangong Xue said angrily: "Who wants you to compensate?" I ask you, if Miss Yun and I fall into the water at the same time, who will you save?" Li Yijie said: "I, this, naturally ......"
Nangong Xue sneered: "Can't you answer? But you have already told me with your actions, you choose her at the moment of life and death, you only have her safety in your eyes, you don't care about me, so I have drowned!" Li Yijie made amends in every possible way, and Nangong Xue always said: "What are you talking about with the dead?"
Wandering on a desert island for no reason, whether she can survive in the Central Plains is still unknown, and listening to her unreasonable complaints, even if she has a good temper, she can't bear it after all. Li Yijie gradually lost his patience, and said: "Xue'er, how long are you going to make trouble? Are you really happy if you have to die?" Nangong Xue was shocked and hurriedly pressed his sword hilt and said, "What are you doing?" You have to prove your heart to me, but you don't have to kill Miss Yun......! I'm not that vicious yet. ”
Li Yijie couldn't help but laugh and said: "Who said I was going to kill Yun'er? I mean if you die, I won't live alone, so I'll kill myself to accompany you!" Nangong Xue heard him say this, and she liked it very much, but she still pouted and said: "Who wants you not to make it clear yourself! Hmph, you will only say something nice to make me happy, hey, give me the sword, and I will go to cut down the tree." ”
Li Yijie said that she had already coaxed herself to dissipate, how did she know that she had a child's temper again, and said helplessly: "If you want to vent your anger, just come and cut me! The tree didn't mess with you!" Nangong Xue was angry and funny: "You can look at me too much, I want to build a raft, otherwise I will have to stay here for the rest of my life?" Li Yijie had an epiphany and said with a smile: "It's me who is confused." Nangong Xue snorted and said, "Then it's no wonder you, whoever makes your mind only think about Miss Yun, you can't tolerate anything else!"
Li Yijie's face turned red, and he argued strongly: "You should say that I have foresight, if I have the profound internal strength of a master, I just need to slap it lightly, and it will be fine." But you and I are not good at cultivating, cutting down trees with brute force is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and the long sword must be broken!" Nangong Xue glanced at the two severed swords on the ground, and said with a bitter heart: "Which one can't talk in the vernacular! If you have the ability, come up with a feasible method!"
Li Yijie said: "Let me think about it." Sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes and meditating, he wanted to atone for his sins at this moment, but all kinds of thoughts were surging in his mind, and he thought: "There are many forests here, all of which are good materials for making rafts. But this is like a mountain of gold and silver in front of you, teaching you to be full of blessings, but you can't take them away, it's also in vain. Alas, a divine weapon that sharpens iron like clay...... But where can we find it at this moment? It will take time to attain internal skills, and it will not be achieved overnight, so how can it be good?"
Suddenly, Nangong Xue said, "Hey, what are you doing?" Seeing Shen Shiyun walking over, he said softly: "I'm relieved that Miss Xue'er won't come, so I'll take a look." Nangong Xue glared at her, and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "Thank you!" in a voice that was completely unthankful.
Shen Shiyun only didn't realize it, and said: "It's all because of me, everyone has fallen to this point, Yun'er is really unhappy." Nangong Xue said coldly: "You don't need to worry, we are here to break the soul tears, not for you." Li Yijie persuaded: "Xue'er!" Nangong Xue said angrily: "What are you doing?"
Li Yijie's mind was racing, and he said: "Yun'er, now we have a difficult matter to solve, you Bing Xue is smart, you must have an idea!" At the moment, when he said that he wanted to cut down wood and build a raft but had nothing to do, Shen Shiyun pondered for a moment and said: "I have an idea, but whether it is feasible or not, I don't know yet." There are a lot of sharp stones here, so we sharpened Brother Li's sword into a saw, turning strength into skill, which can avoid the disadvantages of insufficient internal strength. ”
Li Yijie said happily: "That's not bad! In this way, even a child who doesn't know martial arts at all can cut wood." In the future, I will become famous with this saw sword, and I will be given the title of 'Saw Sword Hero', and it is all your credit!" Shen Shiyun only smiled slightly.
When the boat sank in the storm last night, Jiang Yanchen and Chu Menglin were on the big boat. Chu Menglin had told Li Yijie and others during the day that he would act again when he arrived in Chang'an, but in fact, in order to stabilize the three of them, he could sneak onto the boat in the middle of the night and take the Broken Soul Tears to return to his life, as for escorting Shen Shiyun, it had nothing to do with him. However, being inside the dart boat, it is several times larger than what you see on the shore, and the cabin is divided into "upper cabin", "middle cabin" and "bottom cabin", and the bottom cabin is mostly a place for stacking sundries, but the two of them do not dare to relax, and still look for them one by one. How do you know that the old dart head of Long is far-sighted, so he will not mix the dart box with the clutter and hide people's eyes?
When I found the last room, I saw that the door panel was not locked, and there was another noise in it. Chu Menglin pressed the hilt of the sword, was on full alert, and gently pushed the door open, but saw a group of big men sitting on the ground, with ordinary Han clothes, with soft cowhide boots, knee-length, with knives, fire sickles, snuff boxes and other ornaments hanging on the belt, it was a Mongolian dress; those with "sana" robes, with a slanted collar on the right side, without buttons, only tied around the waist with a rectangular silk scarf or cloth scarf; and the latter braided like a Qing soldier, wearing thin horseshoe sleeve arrow clothes, tight socks, and deep boots. This group of people with different costumes gathered together, Rao is Chu Menglin was well-informed, and it was difficult to identify the other party's identity for a while.
