Chapter Eighty-Four: Invited to Sea
Ouyang Qian's five daughters went down against the wind, Chunlan and Xia He were on the left, Qiu Ju and Dongmei were on the right, and the sword fell to the ground, and Ouyang Qian's hands on the top naturally opened, and when she fell, she pointed to Sima Long's left shoulder, her long flowing hair flew in the wind, and her beautiful posture set off the entire sword array stretched across the beach like a phoenix spreading its wings.
Duan Wuchang was dumbfounded, not convinced, but he didn't dare to rush forward.
When the two sides formed a confrontation for a while, an old voice came from behind everyone: "Long'er, Qian'er, is this the way of hospitality?
Listening to the old voice of the person, like the vicissitudes of the earth, Yue Ziheng hurriedly raised his eyes to look, and saw a handsome young man with a small head supporting an old man on crutches with a slightly bent upper body slowly coming.
If the old man can straighten his waist, he should be very tall, wearing a light blue washed robe, white beard and white hair, wrinkles on his forehead, and even his eyes have been buried in folds so that it is almost impossible to find, so that people really can't tell how old they are?
Behind the old man and the young man, two more girls with swords followed.
Ouyang Qian heard the voice of the South China Sea Immortal, and hurriedly jumped off Sima Long's shoulder, and the two of them took Grandpa Gao from Du Fei's hands one left and one right.
Although Song Yuanlan and Du Juan, who followed behind the South China Sea Immortal, one was injured and the other was weak, when they heard that someone had invaded the island, they still cheered up and came with a sword.
Sima Long complained: "Grandpa, why are you here too? Qian'er and I are fully capable of driving these people off the island." β
Ouyang Qian smiled and didn't explain, turned her head and blinked at Yue Ziheng with a smile. The three of them looked at it for a while, and they couldn't hold any resentment against Sima Long's disrespectful words.
Yue Ziheng guessed that this old man must be Sima Changkong, an immortal in the South China Sea, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Don't misunderstand, old immortal, we heard that the old immortal Weng returned to the island and made a special trip to visit." I saw that your heir was skilled before, and his hands were itchy for a while, so he made a temptation, and he was offended!"
"You said it nicely!" Sima Long pointed at Duan Wuchang and said, "He dares to be rude to Qianmeiβ"
When Ouyang Qian heard this, he realized that Sima Long had misunderstood the other party, no wonder he would suddenly use his sword to deal with Duan Wuchang.
Without waiting for Sima Long to finish speaking, Ouyang Qian hurriedly pulled him aside to explain.
When Sima Long heard this, he was immediately embarrassed.
Duan Wuchang over there also understood, and praised him: "Doll, good, a manly husband should throw his head and spill blood for his confidante, I Duan someone is not as good as you!"
When Chang Kaixiao heard this, he knew that Duan Wuchang was aroused of the pain in his heart again, so he got up and patted the fourth brother on the shoulder twice to show comfort.
Why didn't the South China Sea Immortal Weng still understand that this was a misunderstanding? Xiang Yue Ziheng smiled and said: "I haven't had distinguished guests on this small island for a long time, everyone has come here, and it is full of brilliance, if the old man is not mistaken, this should be the famous Demon Heaven Venerable Yue Ziheng, Yue Da is in charge." β
Yue Ziheng was ashamed and said: "In front of the old immortal, who dares to be worthy of the four words of the famous Zhennan Sea? When the four brothers heard that the old fairy had returned to Qixian Island, they all admired it very much, if it weren't for the tension in the help, they would have come to visit your old man a long time ago. β
Nanhai Immortal Weng smiled: "Master Yue is polite. This is not a place for hospitality, so please go to the humble house. β
"Then it's bothering!" Yue Ziheng raised his hand to ask the Nanhai Immortal Weng to go first, and the Nanhai Immortal Weng was not polite, supported by Sima Long and Ouyang Qian, and walked towards the island first.
Back in the thatched hut, the four little girls of spring, summer, autumn and winter moved to sit on chairs, the guests and hosts sat down, and after the two sides introduced themselves, Yue Ziheng ordered someone to carry the gift: two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry into the house.
The South China Sea Immortal Weng wanted to be politely refused, Yue Ziheng said: "These are all things outside the body, Yue Someone didn't dare to use them to desecrate the old immortal, but the reconstruction of Qixian Island is really the first event in my South China Sea, a few gifts, and I hope the old immortal will not dislike it." β
Nanhai Xian Weng heard that the other party was sincere, so he calmly accepted it: "Master Yue's family is full of hospitality, the old man has thanked him here, he will be in charge of the island in the future, and I hope that you can help more." β
"What did the old immortal say?" Yue Ziheng said enviously: "The old immortal has descendants, and its future achievements will definitely be above Yue." The dragon nephew and husband are a perfect match, and the two swords are really envious of the world!"
Sima Long and Ouyang Qian both blushed when they heard this. The profligate incident on the beach was seen by these people, and they mistakenly thought that the two of them were married.
Of course, there is no way to explain this kind of thing to people, the young man is thin-faced, Sima Long and Ouyang Qian blushed and lowered their heads together.
Everyone chatted for a while, and Yue Ziheng put forward an invitation, hoping that the South China Sea Immortal Weng could visit the outer heavens and the island within the island before the year.
Although it was the first acquaintance, the South China Sea Immortal Weng had read countless people, and he saw that these three people were not evil, and he had the heart to win this arm for his great-grandson Sima Long, so he readily agreed.
Yue Ziheng didn't expect the South China Sea Immortal Weng to be so happy, but he was stunned for a moment before he stood up with great joy, and gave a deep salute to the South China Sea Immortal, and his joy was beyond words.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone agreed to pick up Nanhai Xian Weng, Sima Long, and Ouyang Qian the next day, and the three of Yue Ziheng got up to say goodbye.
ββββ
The next day, before noon, ten big ships appeared on the sea, all carrying the big flag of "Tian", and sailed mightily to Qixian Island.
By the time Sima Long and the others got the news and rushed over, the people of the Heavenly Demon Gang had already gone ashore.
This time it was still Yue Ziheng, Chang Kaixiao, and Duan Wuchang who came, and behind them, in addition to a group of subordinates, they also followed more than 100 craftsmen, carrying all kinds of construction materials carried by boat.
After Yue Ziheng and the three of them went to the island, they first came to meet the South China Sea Immortals.
Sima Changkong knew that these people were all sincere and bold men, and he was not too polite, so he asked Du Fei to lead the craftsmen to the construction site, and he and Sima Long and Ouyang Qian, took Chunlan and Xia He, and said goodbye to everyone on the island, and got on the warship of the Heavenly Demon Gang accompanied by Yue Ziheng.
Yue Ziheng left Duan Wuchang to take care of it, and waited for the six loaded cargo ships to unload the materials before returning to the sea, he and Chang Kaixiao happily let the five masters and servants of the South China Sea Immortal Weng into the cabin, and led the four warships back to the outer heavens and the island within the island.
Song Yuanlan was injured and it was inconvenient to travel, so the burden of taking care of her fell on Du Juan's shoulders.
Qiu Ju and Dongmei had to supervise the construction, and they couldn't go together, so they put all their grievances on Du Fei's head.
Du Fei couldn't afford to provoke those two evil girls, so he was so frightened that he got into the new group of craftsmen and refused to show up again.
After the materials were unloaded during the commotion, Duan Wuchang left the craftsmen to work on the island, and he led six cargo ships to leave.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark again. Fortunately, Yue Ziheng was thoughtful, and the gang on the island set up tents and built residences by themselves, and even the gang cooked the food and sent it to Song Yuanlan's daughters.
After dinner, Qiu Ju, Dongmei and Du Fei were all tired from a day's work, and soon went back to the house and fell asleep.
Song Yuanlan's spirits improved today, and she had the heart to go out to see the night scene, but when she heard that the cuckoo had already started to make a sound, she didn't call her, and slowly walked out of the house alone in the dark, and walked along the path into a palm forest not far away.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse that night, and although it was a harsh winter, the wind of the South China Sea blew on the face and the tide was tidal, and I didn't feel cold.
Song Yuanlan looked up at the bright moon, it would be the Spring Festival in half a month, remembering that in previous years she was happy under her parents' knees, but now the scene is difficult again, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, and tears flowed in her eyes.
After crying silently for a while, Song Yuanlan held back her sorrow. Since he had lost the mood to walk, he turned around and walked back towards the hut.
Seeing that it was not far from the room where everyone was sleeping, Song Yuanlan suddenly saw a figure sneaking out of the easternmost room.
The man, apparently afraid of alarming the people in the house, crept past the cat's waist in front of the hut and ran towards the southeast of the island.
Although Song Yuanlan is not very familiar with the environment on the island, she has also heard Du Juan's introduction during the day, and knows that the southeast direction of the island is where the former residence of the Sima family on Qixian Island is located.
Song Yuanlan remembered that there were four young girls who had been rescued by their fathers and mothers, and they were sisters who had suffered with her, and she hadn't gone to see them since she woke up in the past two days. And the four girls assisted the four girls in spring, summer, autumn, and winter to supervise the work with Du Fei, and they didn't meet Song Yuanlan.
It's late at night, and no one is working on the construction site for a long time, what is this girl going to do when she goes to Sima's old house at this time?
Song Lilan became suspicious, so she didn't make a sound, turned around and quietly followed the girl, diving all the way to the southeast of the island.
After walking for about a cup of tea, a half-built courtyard wall appeared in front of me.
Song Yuanlan saw that the girl jumped over the wall, and her skills were very flexible, so she was taken aback, afraid that the other party would get away, so she took two steps outside the wall.
At this time, the wall had not been completely erected, only more than half a person high, and Song Yuanlan stood outside the wall and could just see the scene in the courtyard.
The courtyard of the Sima family's old mansion was filled with various building materials that had been unloaded from the Heavenly Demon Gang warship during the day.
Song Yuanlan saw that the girl bent down and took out something from her arms? Bang knocked twice, and when the courtyard was lit by the middle moon in the middle of the night, a fire flashed, and it turned out to be a fire sickle and a flint!
Song Yuanlan was surprised in her heart, the girl was sneaky before, but now she is on fire, is she looking for something, and she thinks it's too dark?
Song Yuanlan was guessing when she suddenly saw that the girl had already stuffed a handful of thatch that she had lit in her hand under a pile of thinner rafters in front of her.
"What a guts!" Song Yuanlan knew that the other party was going to set fire to the sabotage, and she shouted loudly in anger.
The girl obviously didn't expect anyone to follow, and when she heard Song Yuanlan's shouting, she was startled and threw away the smoking thatch in her hand, turned around and fled.
The two of them chased through the bamboo buildings and wooden houses that had been erected, and the girl jumped out of the courtyard wall on the other side and ran into a place on the island with large undulating terrain.
Song Yuanlan saw that the terrain here was undulating, the trees and weeds were dense and deep, and once she was pulled down, she would lose the trace of the other party, so she hurriedly took two steps, and the distance between the two sides was suddenly shortened to less than three zhang.
