Chapter 189: The End of the World
Happy times are always short-lived, and after spending a few days in a row at Cape Villa, Yi Dan knew it was time to quit. Because she also has a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders. Mu Yongxiao also knew that Yi Dan's burden was very heavy, and the road was still very long, so he couldn't live here permanently. So I specially arranged for her to send a big boat to go to sea to fish.
On the shore, Mu Yongxiao took his wife and daughter, as well as all his disciples, and said goodbye to the two senior Yi Dan sisters and brothers.
Everyone stood on the beach, reluctant to give up. Mu Yongxiao asked, "Miss Yi, don't you really plan to stay for a few more days?"
Yi Dan said: "No, Mu Daxia, there are still many things to be done." If your wish is fulfilled in the future, you will definitely come to Yaxian to visit you. Singing and dancing with all of you. ”
Mu Yongxiao said: "Dao, well, then okay." Miss Yi, are you sure you're going to Annam?"
Yi Dan said: "That's right, I've already determined. ”
Mu Yongxiao said: "Then you two must be cautious, now Annan's side is not as friendly as before." ”
Yi Dan asked, "Why is that?"
Mu Yongxiao said: "For thousands of years, Annan has always been the southernmost point of the Central Plains. However, the countries of Champa and Khmer further south harassed Annam all year round. The Annan people have been fighting with them for a long time, so they have formed a fierce and strong character. They are simple-minded, impulsive, and not very approachable. They are very wary of outsiders, so you must always be careful when you get there. ”
Yi Dan asked suspiciously: "No, after all, Annan is still my citizen of Great Xia." ”
Mu Yongxiao said: "If it was the previous Tang Dynasty, it would definitely be like this. But now Qu Chengmei is implementing an anti-North strategy in Jiaozhou, driving out people who are no longer rooted in Annan within three generations, and forcibly instilling anti-North concepts in people who have lived in Annan for generations, so that the people hate the Tang people in the north, with the purpose of wanting to break away from the North and stand on their own. Therefore, you must be cautious in Annam, and do not say the wrong thing and cause unnecessary trouble. ”
Yi Dan said: "Against the Tang people? Many of them themselves are also Tang people, isn't this against their ancestors? Which of the ancestors of the hairpin clan in Annan did not move in from the north?"
Mu Yongxiao: "Yes, everyone knows this truth, but it's going to rain and the mother wants to get married, so you can't stop it." In this world, there are always so many people, in the face of interests, let alone not recognizing their ancestors, even their own mothers, abound. Forget it, don't talk about it, anyway, you should be cautious when you go to Annan. Otherwise, if something goes wrong at that time, even if you have martial arts skills, I am afraid that there will be a lot of inconvenience and trouble. ”
Yi Dan said: "Well, okay, I understand, thank you Mu Daxia for reminding me!"
At this time, Mu Yongxiao clapped his hands, and saw that the two disciples each brought a horse, and Mu Yongxiao said: "I heard that last time, you lost a horse in Wenchang. How can you walk the rivers and lakes without the strength of your feet? I gave these two horses to you, so please accept them. ”
Yi Dan hurriedly excused himself and said, "No, no, Mu Daxia, you are so good to us." How can we accept your gift again? ”
"Miss Yi doesn't have to excuse herself, when she is out of the house, she must have the strength to travel on her feet. My two horses are improved southern horses, although they are not as good as the sweat and blood horses of a thousand miles a day, but it is resistant to heat and water, suitable for the climate and environment of the south, not only that, it can also swim, carry thousands of pounds across the sea, effortlessly, ride it on land and water, it is not afraid. ”
Yi Dan asked in surprise, "Is it true? I didn't expect that there are such amphibious horses in the world?"
"Hahahaha, of course. This horse is very capable. The Annan rivers and lakes are crisscrossed, and the waterways are complicated, this horse will definitely be able to help you, so take it. ”
Yi Dan listened to Mu Yongxiao's advice, so he arched his hand and said: "Okay, then thank you for Mu Daxia's kindness, this kindness and virtue are unforgettable." ”
Mu Yongxiao said: "You don't have to be polite. Compared to what you have done, Miss Yi, I am not worth mentioning. ”
Yi Dan smiled heartily and thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, Mu Yongxiao's wife said: "Miss Yi, thank you for saving our mother and son, and you will have the opportunity to welcome you to Qiongya Island again in the future." ”
Yi Dan said: "Okay, Mrs. Mu, you are recovering from a serious illness, so you should pay more attention to rest." ”
Hui'er said: "Sister Yi, you must come to Qiongya Island again in the future." ”
Yi Dan smiled: "Don't worry, when you marry Brother Pi in the future, you must notify me." ”
Hui'er said shyly: "Okay, then I'll tell my father and mother to marry me off quickly, so that you can come and play with me earlier." ”
Mrs. Mu smiled and said to Hui'er: "You girl, you don't talk big or small, how can anyone in the world say this about yourself." ”
Hui'er rolled her eyes playfully: "If you don't marry me, I'll marry myself, I just want Sister Yi to come to Yaxian to play with me." ”
Mu Yongxiao also smiled and said, "You girl"
At this time, Xu Gui stepped forward and said to Yi Dan: "Miss Yi, last time in Guangzhou, thanks to you for stopping me and letting me restrain me from the precipice, without causing greater losses and mistakes, I know that you are a chivalrous person and an ambitious person, and I hope you can realize your wish as soon as possible." ”
Yi Dan arched his hand and said: "Thank you Mr. Xu for your blessings, I will definitely work hard." ”
Xu Guidao: "If that day comes, please don't forget to tell me, I will definitely come to help you." I will also convince the other brothers of the Knife Sharpener to come along with them. I believe that Ouyang Gang Leader should have made an appointment with you a long time ago, but what I want to tell you is that I am not because of Ouyang Gang Leader's call, but because of Miss Yi's personality charm that has convinced me, and I am willing to contribute to you. ”
Yi Dan bowed to Xu Gui and said, "Mr. Xu, thank you for your deep friendship, Yi Dan has thanked you here first!"
Mu Yongxiao on the side also hurriedly added: "That's right, Miss Yi, if you also count me Mu, we have already said that my Tianya faction will definitely help, please don't forget us when the time comes." ”
Zheng Xuan also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, and me." Miss Yi, I was the first to tell you, don't forget me, this is also our common wish. Yi Dan was very moved when she heard these words, she bowed and said solemnly: "Seniors, friends, thank you for your deep friendship, how can I Yi Dan be able to make you so kind, if you can really realize the day of your wishes, I will definitely kowtow to thank you." ”
Mrs. Mu persuaded: "Child, don't talk about this first, people live for a lifetime, what they want is peace of mind, if you think it is right, let it go, don't care if it has a result." We Li people have a saying: 'Give up a golden silk clothes, but also change to the right way'. I wish you all the best in forging your own path of light as soon as possible. ”
Yi Dan listened to Mrs. Mu's words, and said more firmly: "Okay, I will definitely live up to your expectations, today's farewell, just for tomorrow's reunion." Hopefully we'll see each other again soon. ”
At this time, on the sea not far away, Pi Kaiyuan stood on a sailboat and waved his hand to this side and shouted: "Miss Yi, I am ready here, you can get on the boat now." ”
Yi Dan looked at the big ship on the sea, and asked Mu Yongxiao suspiciously, "Mu Daxia, may I ask what is?"
Mu Yongxiao said: "Oh, my wife is injured, I have to take care of her, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you to Annan." But I asked Kaiyuan to send you both over with our Tianya faction's fishing boats, and I hope you don't dislike it. ”
Yi Dan said: "This, how is this good? For such a long distance, let's take a passenger boat by ourselves." ”
Mu Yongxiao fell: "Now on this route, bandits are rampant, and ordinary passenger ships can't reach the other side at all, so they are robbed by pirates." So it's better to send you there with our well-defended ship. Don't say no more. That's what comes to my heart. ”
Yi Dan said movingly: "Mu Daxia, you have thought too thoughtfully, and you don't know how to express it except to say thank you." ”
Mu Yongxiao said proudly: "They are all good sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, there is no need to be verbose if you are redundant, hurry up and finish things and let's fight side by side." ”
"Well, good," Yi Dan nodded firmly.
Everyone sent Yi Dan and the others to the rocks on the beach, Mu Yongxiao looked at the pile of stones in the shoal, and said to Yi Dan: "In the past, ships could drive directly to the shore, but now these stones are blocking the port, you can only take a small boat and then go to the big ship first." Hey, these rocks are really a nuisance. ”
At this time, Zheng Xuan on the side said: "I said Old Man Mu, you asked me to blow up that big stone at the beginning, and now the stone is in the way, you are annoyed?"
Mu Yongxiao said: "I didn't say that I was annoying, but it did block the view a little, and it was not very beautiful." Forget it, what else can I do if it's already like this?"
Zheng Xuan reluctantly said: "I said that you are still unreasonable? These few broken stones are standing on the seashore, what's in the way of you?"
Hui'er hurriedly explained: "Uncle Zheng, don't get me wrong, my father is a man who naturally loves beauty, calligraphy and painting, and poetry, so he is more picky. He didn't mean to blame you, please don't mind"
Zheng Xuan said: "I know that he loves stinky beauty and loves to write. Do you have the ability to write a few words on the stone?"
Yi Dan heard Zheng Xuan's words by chance, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Yes, Mu Daxia, since your wonderful pen Danqing is so exquisite, I think it is better to write a few words on these stones, right? ”
Mu Yongxiao thought for a while and said, "Well, yes, I think it's quite interesting when you say that, so please borrow the girl's sword and use it." ”
Yi Dan pulled out the sword in his hand and threw it to Mu Yongxiao, Mu Yongxiao took the sword, stood in front of the largest stone, thought about it, and suddenly asked Yi Dan with an idea: "Then how about I write 'Yi Dan girl comes here'?"
Yi Dan frowned and said, "This... I'm not a saint, how can my name occupy the stone of this end of the world forever? The end of the world, oh, by the way, Mu Daxia, since this is the end of the world that people often mention in their oaths, then I think it would be better to write 'the end of the world', so that it will be more meaningful. ”
Mu Yongxiao listened to Yi Dan's words, pondered for a while and said, "Well, the oath of a lifetime will never change at the end of the world. Okay, that's a very good proposal, so I'll write 'The End of the World'. ”
After that, Mu Yongxiao stood in front of the big stone, waved the sword in his hand, and used internal force to drive the tip of the sword, the sword was like a sharp pen, and the words 'the end of the world' were engraved on the big stone in an instant. The sword was collected, and everyone came to watch. Yi Dan said after seeing the words: "Mu Daxia's internal force is really extraordinary, and the words on this stone are vigorous and powerful, and they are completely complacent. Such a great calligraphy and this blue sea and blue sky big stone complement. It's just a beautiful picture that complements each other, it's really amazing. ”
Mu Yongxiao was praised by Yi Dan, and couldn't help but look back at the words he wrote, and then said to Yi Dan: "No matter where you go in the future, you must not forget that at the ends of the earth, there will always be people who are thinking about you and waiting for your good news." ”
Yi Dan said: "Well, we will definitely not forget." Please rest assured, Mu Daxia, Zheng Daxia, Mr. Xu, and all the brothers and sisters on this Qiongya Island, I will always miss you. ”
Youming said, "Yes, we will miss you all the time. ”
At this time, Pi Kaiyuan on the sailboat couldn't help beckoning and shouted: "Miss Yi, Brother Youming, come on the boat quickly, let's try to get to Annan before dark." ”
Yi Dan and the others said goodbye to everyone for the last time, stepped into a small boat, and led the two horses to the boat.
Youming slowly rowed the laden boat with his oars, and soon reached the foot of the big ship where Pi Kaiyuan was, and Pi Kaiyuan lowered a long board and carried Yi Dan and the horses to the deck of the galleon.
After Yi Dan got on the boat, he said to Pi Kaiyuan: "Brother Pi, the two of us have caused you trouble. ”
Pi Kaiyuan said: "Where is this, Miss Yi, you are the life-saving benefactor of our Tianya faction, it is my honor to be able to escort the benefactor on a ride, how can it be troublesome?"
Yi Dan said: "Thank you, then I'll bother you with Brother Pi." ”
At this time, Mu Yongxiao on the shore shouted loudly: "Open source, we must deliver Miss Yi and the others to Annan safely." ”
Pi Kaiyuan replied loudly: "I know Master, please rest assured, I will definitely send them to Annan safely." ”
Hui'er also waved her hand and shouted goodbye to Yi Dan on the shore, and then Hui'er said to herself with some disappointment: "Hey, it's a pity, I've only known Sister Yi for a few days, and I'm about to say goodbye, and now there is no one to play with me." ”
Mu Yongxiao listened to his daughter's words and said angrily: "Play and play, you know how to play all day long, you see that the girl is not a few years older than you, she is so capable and sensible, and can take on the responsibility of the family and the country." It's like you, soaking in a honey pot all day long, and you don't know the suffering of the world at all. ”
Hui'er said: "Then Dad, you also let me go out to explore the rivers and lakes, maybe I can be like Sister Yi, it just so happens that I have been on the island for a long time and I am bored." ”
Mu Yongxiao had a helpless expression that wanted to speak and stopped, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
The lady on the side hurriedly said: "Forget it, Brother Xiao, my daughter is still young, so don't mess with her if you don't know anything." ”
Mu Yongxiao looked at the figure of Yi Dan standing on the side of the ship on the sea, and said with emotion: "Madam, look. It's the same child, why are the excellent children all from others, and ours are so naughty?"
Mrs. Mu said: "Each has its own life, our daughter has always been carefree, and Miss Yi was born to write justice for this world, and the two are not the same." In fact, Miss Yi is also very pitiful, if it weren't for the blood feud, how could she leave home and wander the world? If our daughter is like her, then don't you feel distressed?"
Mu Yongxiao sighed: "Hey, no matter what, people are more popular than people anyway." ”
Mrs. Mu said: "Don't say that, Brother Xiao, this world is really not a dragon giving birth to a dragon, a phoenix can give birth to a phoenix, your name is Yongxiao, although your martial arts are strong, but will you be brave forever from generation to generation? I don't think so, since you can't change these, then accept the arrangement of fate and let it be." ”
Mu Yongxiao sighed and said, "Hey, don't say it, let it be, it's in vain anyway." ”
Zheng Xuan also said: "Yes, Brother Mu, don't be emotional, I think we might as well go back and study your Zhuge Repeater." ”
Mu Yongxiao looked at the shadow of the ship in the sky and said, "I believe we will meet again soon, let's go, let's go back." (To be continued.) )
