The three of Yi Dan returned to their house with Xiaofeng's mother and son. Yi Dan carefully observed everything around the house, and saw that there was a huge waterwheel next to the house next to the cliff, and the waterwheel was still running, and the axis drove the rice mill in the next room, and made a "bang" sound.

"Brother Xiaofeng, this is what you said, is your rice milling water wheel?" Yi Dan asked curiously.

Gu Xiaofeng said: "Yes, you see how slow it turns, it can only scoop seven or eight stone meters a day, which is less than an hour for me and me." ”

"Seven or eight stone rice a day is already a lot. How much can you do in an hour?" asked Xu Gui.

"Hehe, at least twenty stones," Gu Xiaofeng said proudly.

"Twenty stones, an hour, Brother Xiaofeng, you are too powerful. Youming said in surprise.

Xiaofeng's mother on the side smiled with satisfaction: "My son was born with great strength, and when he was born, his father named him Xiaofeng, hoping for a bumper harvest every year." Unexpectedly, he was as powerful as an ox later, and when he was five years old, he lifted the big grinding disc in the village and smashed it to pieces. ”

"And what happened later?" Yi Dan asked, looking at Xiaofeng's mother in surprise.

Gu Xiaofeng took over and said: "The grinding plate was smashed by me, and my father punished me to use a rice stick to make rice for everyone." Originally, I just wanted to teach me a lesson, but I didn't expect that after a while, I would finish seven or eight stone rice. ”

Youming said: "Brother Xiaofeng, you can make seven or eight stones of rice at the age of five, it's really amazing!"

Mrs. Wu said: "Yes, once, a master who knew martial arts came from Ya County in the south, and when he saw that my son was born with divine power, he said that it would be a pity not to learn martial arts, so he persuaded Xiaofeng and his father to let Xiaofeng worship and practice martial arts under him." His father and I both thought that if we could really learn some skills, we might be able to resist pirates in the future and defend our homeland for the benefit of the people, so we agreed to let him learn martial arts. Unexpectedly, now his martial arts really come in handy. ”

After Xu Gui listened, he asked Gu Xiaofeng, "Then your weapon was also built for you by your master, right?"

Gu Xiaofeng said: "Oh, that's not, my master taught me palm and knife techniques, but he didn't teach me stick techniques." When I was nine years old, I happened to meet a transposition senior on Tonggu Ridge, and he taught me. Later, I found a blacksmith to make this big iron rod, which was convenient for carrying rice and useful for work. ”

Xu Gui asked, "Is that right? It just so happens that I also want to go to the Tonggu Ridge to have a look." May I ask Xiaofeng Daxia, can you please take me to the Tonggu Ridge?"

Gu Xiaofeng said: "Okay, of course there is no problem." Tongguling is thirty miles northwest of Gujia Town, but it's getting late today, so let's go over together early tomorrow morning, what do you think?"

"Well, then I'll trouble you. Xu Gui said.

Soon, a sickle-like crescent rose from the sea, and the island at night was so peaceful and breathtakingly beautiful.

At that time, Yi Dan came out of the house alone. Illuminated by the starry sky, walk slowly east along the field path.

After a while, Yi Dan's stomach came to the beach with the waves crashing. The sea crashes against the beach and makes a "whooshing" sound. The waters along the beach are covered with blue stars that follow the entire coastline and reach the distant horizon. It's so beautiful that it doesn't seem to be in the world.

Yi Dan was enjoying the scenery in front of him alone, and at this time, his junior brother Youming also followed.

You Ming deliberately took a coat and gently draped it on Yi Dan's body from behind.

Yi Dan turned around and said, "Senior brother, are you, why haven't you slept yet?"

"Like you, I can't sleep. Youming whispered.

"Well, you see, the night on this Qiongya Island is really beautiful. ”

You Ming followed Yi Dan's eyes and saw that in the sea, the blue stars stretched to the sky. So he asked curiously, "Senior sister, what is this glowing thing in the sea?"

"I don't know, it's just beautiful. Yi Dan said.

"That's right, it's really beautiful, you see, they are still dragging their tails, as if they are still swimming, like living insects, and like beautiful souls. ”

Yi Dan was spoken to his heart by Youming's words: "Well, that's right, they are all living souls. Senior brother, do you say that a person's soul is a star in the sky, or a light in the sea?"

You Ming looked up at the starry sky, then lowered his head to look at the blue light in the sea and said, "If there is really a soul in the world, I believe it must be the light in the sea." At least you can see and touch it, not so far away from the sky. ”

Yi Dan shook his head and said, "No, I would rather believe that they are stars in the sky, because in this way, I can see them anywhere in the world every night." ”

You Ming looked at Yi Dan's eyes looking up at the sky, and realized her deep longing for her relatives, so he said softly: "Senior sister, you miss your relatives again, right?"

"Yes, I believe that they have become one of the stars in the sky, and will always watch over me, watch me, and accompany me all the time. Yi Dan looked at the starry sky and said firmly.

Youming also looked up at the brilliant galaxy and said: "If I can, I would like to turn into a star, and I will always guard you in the sky and accompany you..."

When Yi Dan heard this, he lowered his head and said to Youming: "I don't allow you to say that, I want you to always be with me, I don't want you to be a star, I want to see you and touch you." ”

Youming smiled stupidly and said, "That's good, I'm willing to stay by your side forever in this life, Senior Sister, and be the star that guards you." ”

Yi Dan smiled and said, "Silly junior brother." I still have a long way to go, and I don't know when I will be able to fulfill my heart's desire. If I can't achieve it in this life, I won't give up until I die. ”

"I believe that Senior Sister, you will definitely be able to fulfill your heart's wish. After all, in this world, evil can never defeat justice. Senior sister, let's all work together, I will always support and be your most solid backing and support. Youming looked at Yi Dan's eyes and said firmly.

"Well, okay, thank you, junior brother! It's really not easy to accompany me all the way, thank you for your hard work!" Yi Dan said.

"Senior sister, are you still so polite to me? Who are we with whom? Isn't this all supposed to?" You Ming said playfully.

While the two were talking, by the light of the stars in the sky and the light of the sea, they saw a galleon floating on the sea not far away, docked in the harbor. I vaguely saw more than two dozen big men disembarking from the sailboat, all of them carrying big knives and bags, sneakily walking in the direction of the village.

Yi Dan said: "Senior brother, look, what are those people doing over there?"

Youming looked at the starlight, looked at the figure in the darkness in the distance, and said, "Maybe it's a fisherman who came back from fishing." ”

"Why do you still have a knife when you fish, do you want to go over and have a look?" Yi Dan asked.

"I don't know, maybe it's for self-defense, it's so chaotic at sea now, we've seen it today. Forget it, you see they're all back in the village. Senior sister is too late, the sea breeze is cold, let's go back early to rest, we have to hurry tomorrow morning. Youming said.

Yi Dan nodded and said, "Well, okay then, let's go back." ”

The two returned to the Gu family's house, and after a day of running, the two finally fell asleep in a scene of frogs and insects and the sound of waves one after another. (To be continued.) )
