Chapter 29: A Fateful Encounter
"Man'er, wake up!"
A delicate voice woke up Long Man'er, who was asleep on the jade table, and she opened her misty eyes and felt dizzy.
She seemed to have had a dream just now, and in the dream she saw pieces of broken and messy images, which receded into the darkness like a tide. She tried desperately to grasp the images as if they were important to her, but in the end she didn't catch anything.
Strange, how could you have such an inexplicable dream?
Long Man'er shook her head, looked up, and saw her good sister Lu You looking at her excitedly.
"Xiaoyou, why are you here?"
"Have you forgotten? Today is the day of the spring outing to sea once every ten years! Let's go!"
"Huh...... Xiaoyou, slow down!" Long Man'er was pulled out of the Dragon Palace by Lu You.
Long Man'er is the youngest daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and this is her first spring outing.
I've always heard my sisters say that the world is very lively, and there are countless delicious and fun things. This year, she is finally an adult and can go with her.
She excitedly followed her brothers and sisters ashore, and at first she obediently followed behind everyone, not daring to leave the team too far, but gradually she was attracted by the jugglers, and she couldn't help but look stupid. When she came back to her senses, her eldest brother and sisters were gone, leaving her alone to look around, not knowing what to do.
Missing his relatives and not being familiar with the world, Long Man'er wanted to go back to the Dragon Palace, but he was reluctant to take this rare opportunity. If you go back, you will have to wait another ten years for the next time you come out.
So she walked aimlessly, gradually out of the bustling city, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the surroundings were deserted.
At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and the wind and cold of early spring were blowing, and Long Man'er couldn't help but shiver.
She had just learned to take on a human form, and she was not used to walking on her feet, and after walking for so long, she was already tired and sore, and her stomach was gurgling.
But in this wilderness, there was nothing to eat except the cold wind that gradually blew. At this time, she missed the warmth of the Dragon Palace and the fragrant food.
I knew that she should have gone back when she was separated from her eldest brother at the beginning, but now she can't see the direction at all and is completely lost.
Han Ying went down the mountain to run errands, and on the way back, he saw a girl in thin clothes, standing tremblingly in the middle of the road, crying in a low voice, and hearing it made people's hearts tense.
In this barren mountain and wild mountains, how can there be a girl's family?
Han Ying couldn't help but think of what was said in the book, the mountain spirits and wild monsters like to turn into weak and beautiful women, deceive well-wishers, and then eat them, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
I saw that the girl was still crying, and she was crying with snot and tears, no matter how beautiful she looked, she would be ugly if she cried like this.
What youkai would be so image......-conscious? She should...... It's not a youkai, is it?
Han Ying hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward softly, and arched his hand: "Han Ying, the eldest disciple of the Xiayun True Sect, dare to ask the girl, but she is lost?"
Long Man'er was crying sadly, when she suddenly heard a man's voice, she was so frightened that she crooked and almost fell.
Han Yan hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help her.
"Multi-...... Thank you, Childe. Long Man'er said with a red face.
She looked so embarrassed and beautiful, Han Ying was almost stunned, and it took a moment to react, she was still holding the arm of the girl!
"Ahem...... Girl, why are you standing here crying, but you can't find a home when you get lost?" Han Ying asked softly.
"I ...... I got separated from my eldest brother and somehow came here, I'm so scared......" said Long Man'er's tears again.
Seeing the appearance of pear blossoms with rain, Han Ying's heart was pinched together, and he hurriedly said pityingly: "It's getting late now, if the girl doesn't mind, she will go back to Shimen with me and stay for one night." Tomorrow morning, I'll take the girl down the mountain to find your eldest brother, how about it?"
Long Man'er blinked her clear eyes, a little apprehensive in her heart. This man doesn't look like a bad guy, should you go with him?
But if you don't go with him, you really have nowhere to go.
Long Man'er bit her lip and struggled for a while, and finally nodded slightly.
"Then it's bothering the son. ”
For some reason, seeing her agree, Han Ying felt an inexplicable pleasure, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
"Girl, please come with me. He led the way, and instructed, "The mountain road is not easy to walk, so be careful." ”
