Pampering the sea

Minmin hurried over, Xin Yue said in a low voice: "There is a sea god here, who often comes in the morning, she said that as long as I catch up with her, she will give me the immortal energy of great strength, I will chase after her every day, Every day there will be more fairy energy, so the strength will be great. Don't tell other people, this is a secret between us."

"Sister, can I chase it with you too?" The child blinked, "I also want to become very strong."

"No." Xin Yue shook his head, "I will get less immortal energy."

The more you refuse, the more attractive you are, and the harder it is to get, the more you want, this is especially evident in the child, Minmin pouted her lips: "Sister, you can't be so stingy, I don't care, anyway, I am always If I want to follow you to chase the Sea God, I have to become very strong."

The conversation between the two fell into Sister Zhang's ears, and she smiled at Xin Yue: "It's still a girl, you have a way."

The dinner was very sumptuous, and as time went by, the fisherman's wife developed a good impression of Xin Yue and Xia Chuan, especially today when Xin Yue showed her fishing skills in front of her, which made Sister Zhang laugh from ear to ear, and they got along very well. joy.

During the dinner, Big Brother Zhang talked about what he had seen and heard at sea: "I heard that Chu Zhiling, the king of the sea, is back again."

Xin Yue's eyes sank, and Sister Zhang asked: "Didn't it mean that he died? I heard from Aunt Hua next door that he was swept away by the strong wind and drowned."

Brother Zhang: "Do you believe Aunt Hua's bullshit? She didn't see anyone die, so she just talked nonsense. A few days ago, I heard from a few brothers who went to sea that Chu Zhiling issued a search warrant as soon as he came back this time." .”

"Who offended him?"

"Looks like a woman."

Sister Zhang put down her chopsticks: "Hey, these robbers are only doing things like robbing girls. I heard that Chu Zhiling is one of the pirates with a bit of conscience. I didn't expect..." She shook her head, "Poor girl! ..."

Brother Zhang ate the food: "Aren't these pirates all the same? Have you seen any pirates who do good deeds? Didn't our village be burned by these pirates a few years ago?" Brother Zhang's simple face flashed a look of worry , "Although they haven't been here for several years, they are not guaranteed to come again these few days. I heard that Mr. Liu Xiang is here, so he might come to visit us sometime."

"What?" Sister Zhang suddenly turned pale with shock, "That villain?"

Liu Xiang is notoriously brutal, and the mere name alone turns people's faces.

It is night, the moon and stars are rare.

Sitting on the bed, Xin Yue lowered his head and said to Xia Chuan: "Let's get ready and escape from here."

The starry sky sprinkled on Xia Chuan's plain clothes, he moved his lips: "Why do you want to run away?"

"You want to die?"

Xia Chuan shook his head: "No." He sat on the ground with his robes scattered, looking at Xin Yue, "Why don't you fight?"

"You mean, struggling to resist the pirates' attack and protect the village?" Xin Yue raised his eyebrows.

Xia Chuan didn't speak, just looked at her, his eyes twinkling with beauty.

She raised the corners of her lips: "Are you laughing at me?" Her side face was haloed by the moonlight, and she looked a little beautiful, "I think my greatest advantage is self-knowledge, and let go of things you are sure of." Do it, just like dealing with the Dutch army before, analyze the pros and cons and attack decisively, that is because I have grasped the contradiction between Chu Zhiling and the Dutch army, I am in a relatively active position, and many people are involved in my back , so the odds are high.”

She continued: "But now, no matter how capable I am, I can't lead a group of closed fishermen who can't trust me to attack a large group of wolf-like pirates. I have observed that this place is really backward. There is not even a slightly advanced fort, once the pirates come, they can only be caught without a fight."

"Don't you think, don't you want to give up?" Xia Chuan tilted his lips calmly, "You are obviously much happier here than on Chu Zhiling's boat."

Xin Yue looked at him, and his voice sank a lot: "I'm not a savior. I don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices."

The moonlight is heavy, shining among the cascading branches, and the pale sea seems to be turning around.The wind stirred the surface of the sea, rattling.

The tide was so high that the raft and boat could easily be overturned, and the escape had to wait until tomorrow.

The next morning.The sun shines.

"Sister, where is Sea God? We can't see her, how can we chase after her?" Minmin asked panting while running.Seeing that the child had already run a certain distance, Xin Yue slowed down and said to her, "Only the elder sister can see the sea god, because the elder sister is an adult, and children cannot see it. It is right for Minmin to run with the elder sister."

"Oh." The child nodded obediently.

After running for a long time, the two of them rested by a rock. After regaining some breath, Minmin turned to Xin Yue and said, "If only my sister would be with us forever, Brother Xiaoxu has a sister and a brother. , I am alone, if my sister is not here, no one will play with me."

Although they were born in a wealthy family, there are many brothers and sisters, but their emotions towards Xin Yue are resistance and rejection rather than warmth and concern. At this moment, Xin Yue was slightly startled by the child's words, and she smiled slightly. gorgeous.

She took the child's hand: "Come on, Minmin, let's have a competition to pick up shells. Those who lose will do the dishes at noon today."

Xin Yue had already slowed down, but Minmin still lost.The sunlight refracted from the sea water and sprinkled on Xin Yue's plain clothes, she pursed her lips: "I'm willing to bet and admit defeat."

"It's not fair, you are an adult, and I am a child." The child habitually pouted his lips, his voice was crunchy and soft, with the unique tenderness of children.

Xin Yue shook his head: "Those who can't afford to lose, tsk tsk."

"I'm not someone who can't afford to lose," she looked at Xin Yue's smiling face, and gritted her teeth as if making up her mind, "Wash the dishes as soon as they are done."

Xin Yue patted her head: "That's good."

Just as he was about to walk back, he realized that the child hadn't followed, Xin Yue turned to look at the little Min Min: "Aren't you going back?"

Minmin kicked the sand: "My feet hurt, I can't walk."

Yo, this child, do you want her to carry it?Xin Yue moved his lips: "Are you angry when you lose?"

"No."

"Then walk back by yourself, only a few steps away, and your feet hurt." Xin Yue bent down and tapped Min Min's shoulder lightly, "Are you so easy to deceive me when you are my sister?"

"Sister, my feet really hurt." The child is thin and small, and his skin is still a little dark, but his eyes are big. Now he is blinking and looking at Xin Yue, black and bright as if he could pinch water out.

Just for a moment, the child ran behind Xin Yue, dragged Xin Yue's clothes down with his thin arms, tried to make Xin Yue squat down, and yelled with a smile: "Sister, carry me on your back!" Bar."

Really thinking that her foot hurts, Xin Yue glanced at Min Min depressedly, this child is really deceiving.

Carrying her on his back as the child wished, Xin Yue walked back along the same path.
