Chapter 445 Meeting the mother-in-law who sells pearls again
The shore of the East China Sea is located in a fishing village a hundred miles east of Zhaodu, and the sea creatures were rescued by floating near this fishing village.

When I first came here, I was not as down and out as Chu Jin imagined.

According to Hai Sheng's description, this fishing village should be a poor and poor village.

The people struggled to survive, and they didn't even have the capacity to accommodate a child like him here. Instead, they rushed him out and occupied the house of his adoptive parents.

Chu Jin has always believed in his description, so when he saw that every household in the fishing village had built thatched huts, there was a garden in front of the door to plant flowers and plants, and dry fish to dry.

The common people I met along the road were all well-dressed and embellished with gold and jade. How could they be poor?

"Then Haisheng lied to us?" Chu Jin murmured to Xuan Jue in a low voice: "These people's life is almost as good as that of Zhaodu. Look at the thatched huts, if they are not all built by the sea, I'm afraid they will soon They have all been replaced with brick houses. With such a good living environment, how could you drive out the young Haisheng alone for the sake of such benefits?"

"Do you still remember how Haisheng's adoptive parents died?"

"Say it's a shipwreck."

Xuan Jue nodded, "At that time, the East China Sea was not as calm as it is now. Going out to sea to fish was a very difficult and dangerous thing. It is rumored that the East China Sea was blessed by the Dragon Mother only in the past ten years. Fishermen rely on the sea to eat the sea, and it is only in the past few years that life has improved."

The two walked all the way, Linglong and Sanfu followed behind with their bags.

The people in the fishing village are the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing the two of them dressed in extraordinary clothes and accompanied by servants, they guessed that it must be a rich family in Zhaodu who came to the East China Sea to play, so they all came here with smiles on their faces, selling their own seafood and asking for help. Lead the two to play in the East China Sea.

All the enthusiasm was directed towards silver, and after Xuan Jue told them that he didn't bring extra silver when he went out, they dispersed like a gust of wind.

Chu Jin smiled, "You drove them away, where are we going to eat at lunch time? There is not even a restaurant in the fishing village, it seems that we will be hungry today."

While speaking, Chu Jin seemed to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

The figure flashed past, turned a corner and disappeared.

"It's her?" Chu Jin murmured in doubt, Xuan Jue asked, "Is there an old friend of Jin'er here?"

Chu Jin shook his head, "It's not an old friend, it should be an old lady who lives here."

Linglong also saw the old woman just now, so she saw her lift her bag on her shoulders, pouted and said: "It's her, miss, I can't be wrong. This slave will recognize it."

Xuan Jue didn't know what happened, and it took Sanfu to explain it to him before he knew that Chu Jin and the others had such a situation when they went to Xinyi Forest that day.

This was originally a small episode, and no one took it to heart, nor did they intend to find the old woman.

Unexpectedly, the old woman had such a deep relationship with them that she was met by Chu Jin and the others again in the courtyard of a hut near the sea.

The old woman was leisurely watering the flowers with a clepsydra. This time, she saw Chu Jin, so she waved to her from a distance, "My lord, my lord~~"

Her trembling voice was full of joy, Chu Jin also smiled and stepped forward to greet the old woman, "Do you live here?"

The old woman turned her head and pointed to the small thatched hut, "I live with the old man. He went to sea today, and I am alone." Her gaze was fixed on Xuan Jue, "This...is your husband? "

Xuan Jue cupped his hands and said generously: "I am Murong, Jin'er is my wife."

"Murong's family," the old woman said every year, "The current Holy Master is also Murong's family. This is a good surname, a good surname."

The smell of rice in the thatched hut came out faintly, and Linglong's stomach standing behind let out a cry, and the old woman laughed when she heard it, "Did you come to the East China Sea to play, right? There is no restaurant in our fishing village, and it's been half a day at noon and I'm hungry." Right? The left and right old men won’t come back today, and I’ve cooked too much. If you don’t mind, you can go to the humble house and have some light meals to fill your stomach.”

After some resignation, but unable to hold back the enthusiasm of the old woman, everyone followed into the hut.

The hut is not big, but it is very clean and tidy.

The old woman took a few low chairs for them to sit down, and then went to the kitchen to serve food.

It's just a few bowls of brown rice and a few sweet potatoes, and the most delicious dish is marinated fish, shellfish and shrimp.

Not rich, but delicious.

Talking and laughing, Xuan Jue asked the old woman: "Look, my mother-in-law is already old, and my husband is also very old. At this age, I'm still going out to sea, so I'm not afraid of encountering danger?"

The old woman smiled and waved her hands, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you have to live, right? This year my son said that he would bring his wife and grandson back, but it was delayed because the child had a high fever. Our old couple depended on each other, and we lived by fishing. I'm used to it." She pointed to the calm sea outside the window, "The East China Sea is very peaceful, as long as you don't go to 'Zhuying', you will be fine."

"Candle firefly? What is that?"

"It's a sea area in the middle of the East China Sea. There are many fluorescent jellyfish floating on it. At night, it looks like stars falling into the sea, and it looks like fireflies flying on it. It's really beautiful. But the beauty is beautiful, let's go to sea to catch them in that sea area." But the fish dare not approach. With the protection of the Dragon Mother on the East China Sea, even if there is a shipwreck accidentally, the victims can survive and come back. I don’t see the end of the dead or the corpse.”

The old woman sighed and raised her eyebrows to look at a family next door.An old man with white hair was sitting in front of that family's house, staring blankly at the sea.

"Seventh Aunt's son just refused to listen to the persuasion and decided to go into the sea of ​​candle fireflies to find out. For five years, Seventh Aunt has been looking at the sea like this every day, looking forward to the day when his son will return. What do you have to look forward to?" She smiled wryly and shook her head, "Everyone says that the sea of ​​candle fireflies is the residence of Dragon Mother, and mortals who trespass and disturb Dragon Mother's cultivation will be punished by God. Don't mention it."

Seeing the slight change in Xuan Jue's expression, Chu Jin guessed his thoughts.

She leaned close to Xuan Jue's ear and asked softly, "Are you going?"

Xuan Jue nodded, "Mother is probably there. It's just that the place is in the middle of the East China Sea, and it's far away from here. I'm afraid I can't take you there."

Chu Jin didn't compete with Xuan Jue, and knew that it would be a burden for Xuan Jue to float her on the surface of the sea with her mortal body, so she said, "I won't follow you, I'll wait for you here." She covered her lips while speaking And smiled, "Don't even think about leaving. If you don't come back, I will stay here just like Seventh Aunt guarded his son, guarding you forever."

She knew that Xuan Jue couldn't bear to let her suffer a little bit, so she told him such words in a joking way, letting him understand that no matter what, he couldn't leave herself alone again.

Xuan Jue nodded vigorously, squeezed Chu Jin's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will be back."

He bid farewell to the old woman, only saying that he had something to do, and asked her to take Chu Jin in for a while.

He handed the bank note to the old woman, but the old woman declined with a smile, "No need. Old lady, I have a relationship with a nobleman. It's boring to be alone, and it's good to have someone to talk to."

Xuan Jue thanked the old woman again and again, got up and headed towards the sea of ​​candle fireflies.
