Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

Xiaoyao didn't know exactly how long it had passed, but only knew that when her hand touched a hard object and instinctively grasped it tightly, her eyes regained a little vision. Seeing that it was a reef, Xiaoyao's whole body immediately went limp. She lay flat on the reef, and saw a dark figure standing stubbornly on the top of the reef in the distance. At this time, the sky was already dimly lit, and in the cold morning light, that slender figure seemed to have merged with the reef, inlaid between the sky and the earth, and became a long-awaited wait. Xiaoyao didn't know whether it was tiredness or joy, her throat was rough and she couldn't make a sound. She raised her hand weakly, as if she was waving, but she didn't move at all.

Finally, the people on the rock wall saw him, and they didn't care about walking from the shore. He leaped down the rock wall, jumped into the sea, swam to Xiao Yao's side with all his strength, and hugged her.The two of them were half submerged in the sea water, Xiao Yao's body was shaking non-stop due to exhaustion, but Jing's body was also shaking non-stop for some reason. The two of them were so trembling that they couldn't speak, Xiaoyao could hear the sound of her teeth chattering.She thought it was funny and depressed, and dressed up meticulously, but she didn't expect to appear in the most embarrassing posture.

Xiao Yao shivered and said, "Don't, don't...in the water." After soaking in sea water all night, I really don't want to soak anymore. Jing hugged her and climbed up the reef, but after a few staggering steps, her feet slipped and she fell.Jing was afraid of hurting Xiaoyao, so she landed on her back, and with a bang, she fell heavily. Xiaoyao laughed, "You, you... are still nine...fox...stupid..." Finally on the shore, Jing hugged Xiaoyao and walked to the sheltered rock wall. Xiaoyao's face was pale and her lips were darkened. Jing put one hand on her back and held her palm with the other, and slowly poured in her spiritual power. After slowly swimming around in her body for a few times, Xiaoyao's body stopped shaking.

At this time, it was already bright outside, and this small corner under the rock wall was still dark because of the cover of the reef and woods. Seeing that Xiaoyao's body was getting warmer, Jing withdrew the hand that was placed on her back, and felt that she should also let go of her hand, but she couldn't bear it, and the hand loosened and tightened for a while.Xiao Yao looked at him and teased, "You used to be quite courageous, but now you're actually timid?" Jing loosened her hand, "It's different now than before." "What's the difference?"

Jing glanced at her, then hurriedly lowered her eyes. Xiaoyao stroked her messy wet hair, pinched her cheeks again, her complexion probably wasn't much better, she was very depressed, she decided to give Ah Nian a hard time when she went back.Xiao Yao stood up, "I'm going back." Jing stood up hurriedly, took her arm, and immediately let go as if she was shocked, her face was a little hot.Gao Xin's clothes were light and elegant, and after soaking wet, they stuck to his body obediently. He didn't feel it when he was sitting huddled just now, but when he stood up now, his waist became his waist, his chest became his chest, and he could see it very clearly.

Seeing Jing's expression, Xiaoyao looked down at herself, and immediately squatted down, hugging her knees with both hands, covering herself tightly. Jing sat opposite her and said in a low voice: "Go back later, okay? Just for a while." Xiao Yao didn't say anything. "I waited for you all night, thinking you wouldn't come." Xiao Yao asked angrily: "Since you think I won't come, why do you have to wait?" Jing didn't know how to answer. If she really didn't come, he didn't know where to go. In the depths of the ground, he had the happiest and sweetest moments.But the person who gave him happiness and sweetness was Xiao Liu, not the girl in front of him. If she took it back, he would fully understand.

Xiaoyao knelt down on her knees and walked in front of him, her eyes were filled with anger and grievance, "Do you think it was hard for you to wait all night? You have a fiancee! You go in and out with her, but you always change your ways I reminded me that I made a promise to you. Since you don’t believe me, why did you ask me to promise? Let me tell you, I almost died last night to keep my promise to you!” Xiao Yao pushed Jing hard, “I don’t want to play Yes, I take back my promise! Go back to Qingqiu and marry Fangfeng Yiying!" Jing didn't dare to fight back, but she was determined not to back down, "I won't marry her, she doesn't actually like me, and she probably won't be willing to marry me."

Xiaoyao stopped pushing, "I don't believe it! Why doesn't she like you?" "I have a broken leg. I can see that she was surprised and disappointed. Once again, she saw the scars on my body and was frightened..." Actually, saying that I was frightened is an understatement. Frightened, she didn't dare to look at him, and from then on, when the two were alone, Yiying would keep a distance from him. Xiaoyao felt very uncomfortable, she knew that Jing's legs were inconvenient, and she also knew that the scars on Jing's body were a bit scary, but this shouldn't be the reason why he was despised.Xiao Yao said: "You have been engaged for decades, does she still care about these external things?"

"Actually, before we met in Qingshui Town, I had no idea what she looked like. We had never met. She was chosen by my mother. At that time, my mother was already sick. I didn't want my mother to worry about my marriage. , and immediately agreed. After the engagement, I had to take care of my mother and deal with family affairs. I said, 'Congratulations, you are really beautiful and smart'. After my mother passed away, I had to face my elder brother who had collapsed, and I was not in the mood to think about sex. After calming down, grandma said that I should get married, and then I remembered that I still have a fiancee. Grandma is getting old, and the elder sister-in-law does not seem to exist. Tu Shan really needs a hostess to help grandma share her worries and labor. After discussing with the elders, grandma , I decided on a wedding date, but I didn’t expect that I would be imprisoned by my elder brother before the wedding ceremony.”

It turned out that the meeting in Qingshui Town was his first meeting with Fangfeng Yiying, so it's no wonder that Fangfeng Yiying was disappointed... Xiaoyao's heart was full of mixed feelings, a little sour and uncomfortable, but also a little happy. She didn't know what she was thinking. what. After a while, Xiaoyao said softly, "Miss Fangfeng is indeed beautiful and capable. It's normal to be picky, don't take it to heart." "You, the most beautiful." After Jing finished speaking, she immediately lowered her head. "Even now?" "Ok."

Xiaoyao burst out laughing, "I finally understand why Zhuanxu's rhetoric is always harmful to the girls. Although I know what you said is not true, I still like to hear it." "I'm telling the truth. Xiaoyao, I didn't expect you to be like this. If I knew you were like this... Even in a dark dungeon, I would never have the courage to speak out..." Jing's back Standing straight, but with its head down, like a plant that grows in the dark and cannot see the sun all year round, "My body, my voice...you know why I refuse to heal my legs even though I know they can heal them." Is it? Because I know that even if it is healed, the real wound is still inside the body, and no medicine can cure it. I can put on clothes to cover the ugly scars on my body, I can heal my legs with rare medicine, and I can also I can talk as little as possible and cover up my ugly voice. I can deceive everyone, I am still the outstanding Mr. Qingqiu, but I cannot deceive myself... Xiaoyao, I am not worthy of you! At this time, there are many healthy and intelligent people Handsome boy..." "Jing, look up! Tu Shanjing, look up." Jing slowly raised her head, Xiaoyao moved her face close to his, and murmured: "Last night, a man forced me to kiss him, but now I just want to kiss you." Her lips fell slightly On Jing's lips, Jing's body trembled violently, and she shrank back suddenly, dodging Xiaoyao, "Don't...Xiaoyao." Xiaoyao closed her eyes, raised her head, her cheeks were flushed, and her body was trembling slightly, "Jing...Jing..." Xiaoyao's soft call was so trembling that she could hardly hear what she was calling, Jing felt as if she was trembling too, his kiss landed on the blush on Xiaoyao's forehead, as if there was a ball of fire that continued from Xiaoyao's forehead It burned into his heart and warmed his cold heart. Perhaps sooner or later, those wounds hidden in his body that could not be healed would heal. Jing hugged Xiaoyao tightly, buried her head in Xiaoyao's neck, and was as happy as in a dream, making him just want to hug Xiaoyao forever and never let go. Xiao Yao moaned, "You're killing me." Jing immediately let go of her, her face flushed.Xiao Yao chuckled, leaned her head on his arm, and looked at him. Jing was embarrassed, and turned her head slightly, "Just now you said that you almost died last night, and you said..." Xiao Yao waved her hand indifferently, "I said angry words to scare you." Jing looked at Xiaoyao, feeling puzzled, but knew that Xiaoyao didn't want to mention it anymore. Xiao Yao smiled and asked, "Why not here?" She pointed to her lips. Jing whispered: "It's not the time yet." "Then when...it's okay." Xiao Yao closed her eyes halfway, covered her face with her hands, and concealed her embarrassment. Jing couldn't answer, because it was Xiaoyao's decision, not him.It's not that he doesn't want her, but -- he wants her love, he doesn't want her just because of pity, Xiaoyao has given him too much, and he doesn't want to continue to take advantage of her kindness. Xiaoyao peeked at him through the cracks in her fingers, "I thought you men would want to throw themselves on the couch and take off your clothes immediately when you see a woman..." Xiaoyao couldn't continue, since she changed back to her daughter, she didn't know what to do. She felt that she couldn't be as shameless as Xiao Liu, especially now, she couldn't wait to swallow back what she just said. Although Jing has always kept himself clean, but after all, he is the person in charge of the clan, and it is common to go in and out of romantic places, and some children of aristocratic families are unavoidable. There are some things about prostitution and indulgence. Naturally, Jing knows everything a man should know.In the business field, let alone more explicit things than this, I have seen even more explicit things, but I don’t feel anything, talking and laughing as usual.But facing Xiaoyao, he just felt uneasy, and argued in a low voice: "I, it's not like that." Both of them were silent, there was a trace of shyness in the embarrassment, and a touch of joy in the embarrassment. "Xiaoyao...Xiaoyao..." Zhuan Xu's voice came. Like thieves, the two were so startled that they separated immediately.Xiao Yao made a booing gesture to Jing, signaling him to keep quiet and hide. Xiaoyao brushed her hair casually, got into the bushes, walked around to the rock, and waved at Zhuanxu, "Here it is!" Zhuanxu ran over quickly, "Why are you in such a mess?" He immediately took off his robe and put it on Xiaoyao. Xiao Yao said: "Why did I become like this? I'm not your good sister, I'm going back to deal with Ah Nian." Zhuan Xu summoned Yun Nian and helped Xiaoyao into the car, "I thought you were going to endure it forever." Xiao Yao glanced at the direction of the rock wall and boarded the car, "If you don't teach her a lesson, next time she will do something that will make your father and you sad." "What did she do?" Xiao Yao smiled mysteriously, "This is a matter between us sisters, so don't interfere." If Zhuan Xu knew that Anian dared to collude with Xiang Liu to design her, Zhuan Xu would definitely die of anger. Zhuanxu asked, "Have you seen Jing?" "seen." "What did you... say?" "Just chatting casually, um...he talked about him and Fangfeng Yiying, and also talked about other things." Zhuanxu said with a half-smile, "Just chatting casually, and we chatted all night before returning to the palace?" Xiaoyao asked back confidently: "Do you think I look like someone who has played comfortably all night? If it wasn't for your good sister, I would have gone back to the palace to sleep." Zhuan Xu twisted her hair, saw that there were seaweed and sand in it, shook his head and smiled, "It seems that you have suffered a lot, you finally suffered a loss at the hands of Anian. Don't call me my good sister." , no matter the distance, that is your sister!" Xiaoyao drooped her face, sighed, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What do you think of that Tu Shanhou?" "good." Xiaoyao showed interest, so Zhuanxu had no choice but to explain in detail: "He is very talented, and compared to Jing, he is more resolute and domineering. I heard that during the years when Jing disappeared, he was in charge of many matters in the Tu Shan family. , He did a good job, but it's a pity that he had to back down as soon as Jing came back. I think it's very strange, they are twins, and Hou is the eldest son, and their talents are not inferior to Jing's. His status should be more important. But it's very strange, Tu Shan Everyone obviously values ​​Jing more, and Feng Leong and the others don’t seem to take it seriously, especially Feng Leong, who looks very polite, but compared to his familiarity with Jing, that kind of politeness is actually very pleasant. People are uncomfortable. The circle of the children of the aristocratic family seems very complicated and very difficult to enter, but it is very simple. The attitude of a few key people can determine everything. For example, in their circle, Feng Leong and Jing have shown that they value me, and others will Naturally, he gave me some respect. Hou is more miserable. Although Fenglong accepted him because he was Tu Shanshi, he obviously didn't really recognize him. However, I have a feeling that Hou is definitely not willing to live under others forever Man, he's just enduring and I see ambition in his eyes." Xiao Yao nodded, "I think you have a good impression of him." Zhuan Xu laughed at himself, "Because he is actually in a similar situation to me. We are all patient, we are all waiting for the opportunity to kill our opponent with one blow, and we are all eager to prove ourselves to everyone." Xiaoyao's expression became serious, and Zhuanxu said, "Don't worry, if Jing has no means, Fenglong won't trust him so much. In fact, as long as Jing is willing, he can take the initiative and get rid of Hou. Didn't you know that?" What did he think, he didn't do anything for so long." Zhuan Xu patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You saved Jing's life, as long as Jing didn't offend you, I will keep an eye on Hou. , and I suspect..." Zhuan Xu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Hou and Uncle Wang are in collusion." Xiao Yao felt relieved, frowned and said, "Has Fang Feng also joined Uncle and the others?" "Looking at Fangfeng Yiying's actions, it should be. Otherwise, how dare a Fangfeng clan kill me again and again? Isn't it our elders who insist on my death in this world?" Xiao Yao sighed: "I really admire you guys, you guys who want to kill the other, you can play together without any embarrassment, talking and laughing." Zhuan Xu smiled and said, "Don't you think this is also a kind of fun?" Xiaoyao laughed loudly, "Indeed!" The cloud chariot stopped, Xiao Yao jumped out of the chariot, but she didn't intend to enter the hall, and told the maid: "Bring me a piece of ragged clothes." The maid hurriedly ran out and gave Xiaoyao a piece of clothing that was destroyed by Anian. Xiaoyao threw Zhuanxu's outer robe back to him, wrapped the tattered clothes around her, and was about to leave. Zhuanxu called out, "Aren't you going to settle accounts with Ah Nian if you don't want to change your clothes?" Xiaoyao turned around, shook her hair mixed with seaweed and human sand, and said, "This is what I want!" Zhuan Xu smiled: "Then I don't care about you, I'll go find Feng Long and Xin Yue, they will leave tomorrow." Xiaoyao waved her hands as she walked, "You look for your fun, I'll look for mine." Xiao Yao kicked open the door of Ah Nian's palace and walked in, probably last night Ah Nian was worried and didn't sleep well, so she hasn't got up yet. The maids stopped Xiaoyao one after another, "The Great Princess, the Second Princess hasn't got up yet, if you have something to do..." Xiaoyao raised her hands and feet, kicked and pushed them all away with a crackling sound.Haitang stood in front of the door, Xiaoyao said, "What? You still want to fight with me?" Haitang knelt down, "I don't dare." But she just refused to give way. Xiaoyao cursed: "A Nian, if you have the guts to do it, you must have the guts! What's the point of hiding behind a servant? You bastard!" Anian opened the door and said to Haitang: "Get out of the way, I want to see what she dares to do. If she is really brave, kill me today, and I will be convinced!" Several maidservants persuaded: "Great Princess, Second Princess, you..." Xiao Yao and Anian shouted in unison: "Get out!" The maidservants hurriedly dragged Haitang aside, Xiaoyao said to Anian: "Please invite me in if you have the guts to see what I will do to you." Ah Nian snorted coldly and stepped out of the way. Xiaoyao went in and locked the door.She pointed to herself, "You cooperated with others to make me like this, are you satisfied?" Anian sat down calmly, picked up the water and wanted to drink, "It's quite satisfactory." Xiaoyao picked up the kettle on the desk and poured a whole pot of water on her face, "You have no brains!" Ah Nian jumped up, "You, you... If I don't beat you to death today, I'm not Gao Xinyi." She waved her hand, but found that her spiritual power seemed to have disappeared, not to mention the popsicle sticks, even the ice scum didn't come out One. Xiaoyao hooked her hands, "Don't just talk but don't practice!" Ah Nian casually picked up a jade ruyi, and hit Xiaoyao like wielding a stick. Xiaoyao picked up her Phoenix Qin and fought her.Yu Ruyi was broken, and Anian grabbed the half-person-high gilt lotus water mirror and threw it at Xiaoyao, smashing his Phoenix Qin to pieces. Xiao Yao grabbed a bunch of powder boxes, smashed Anian, and hid, "You are a bull, you have some strength." Xiaoyao jumped onto the case, and Ah Nian smashed the case to pieces. Xiao Yao hid next to the shelf, took the vase and books and smashed it at Anian, who swept across with the water mirror and knocked over the whole shelf. Xiaoyao retreated to the side of the couch, and Anian forced her to come over, "I see where else are you going to run?" Angry, Ah Nian had already forgotten the seriousness, so she slammed the water mirror at Xiaoyao, just wanting to make this person disappear in her world. Xiaoyao jumped up like an ape, and climbed on the top of the couch, avoiding the fatal blow.When she fell, she tore off the entire gauze curtain forcefully, and the layers of gauze curtains fell on Ah Nian's body.These veils are either silk that is invulnerable to water and fire, or cobwebs that can't be cut by swords and swords. After pulling it for a long time, Ah Nian not only failed to tear it apart, but entangled herself more and more tightly. Xiao Yao kicked her lower abdomen hard, and Ah Nian fell heavily to the ground, hitting the back of her head on the floor, her face turning blue from the pain. Xiao Yao sat on her, "Gao Xinyi, this is you! If you lose your spiritual power, you can't do anything! If you lose your identity, you're nothing!" Ah Nian burst into tears, "Do you think you are stronger than me? If your mother is not Xuanyuan's concubine, will Zhuanxu care about you? If you are not the granddaughter of the Yellow Emperor, will others think you are stronger than me? Apart from your blood I am noble, what else is better than me? At least I have worked hard by myself, and my spiritual power is stronger than you, but what about you? You are the apprentice of the Queen Mother, but you can't even beat the most ordinary monsters! If it is not yours With these identities, will your father hold a grand worship ceremony for you? Do you think that the guests of Dahuang are only here to see you? Let me tell you, no! They are because your father is Emperor Jun and your mother is Princess Xuanyuan , your grandfather is the Yellow Emperor, and your master is the Queen Mother! Apart from these identities, you are actually more worthless than me!" It turned out that this was Ah Nian's low self-esteem, Xiao Yao pondered for a moment, and said, "You actually resent your mother for being too humble!" Ah Nian yelled like crazy: "I don't! I don't! My mother is the best in the world, you are not allowed to say that about my mother..." Ah Nian struggled to remember that Xiaoyao punched her in the nose, causing tears and snot to flow out of her nose. After struggling no longer, Xiaoyao pressed her chest and said, "You still dare not admit it? Isn't it because of your mother?" And are you resentful? Although you are better than me in everything, it is because your mother is just a lowly woman, not only humble, but also deaf and dumb, so you appear to be worse than me in every way. Are you thinking that if You are the Queen Mother's apprentice, and you don't even know how high your spiritual power is? Are you thinking that if you were the granddaughter of the Yellow Emperor, you would never be as useless as me?" Ah Nian wept, Xiao Yao patted her cheek and said, "How dare you swear that you never thought about it that way?" Ah Nian's crying became louder and louder.She never admitted that she blamed her mother, but she did have those thoughts, she is no worse than Xiaoyao, but everyone values ​​Xiaoyao more, isn't it because of Xiaoyao's mother?If Xiaoyao's mother is not Princess Xuanyuan, if Xiaoyao's mother is a lowly woman like her mother, can Xiaoyao make everyone treat her differently?Can Xiaoyao shake the entire Great Desolation? Ah Nian thought in panic, do I really care about my mother's identity? No, no!The mother is so gentle and pitiful, she and her father are the only things that the mother has, she will never mind the identity of the mother! Xiao Yao shouted: "If you have the ability to think, you must have the ability to admit it. Besides crying, what else will you do?" Ah Nian was still crying loudly, Xiaoyao took out some medicine powder and sprinkled it on the veil, a few wisps of light smoke rose up, the veil that was impervious to water, fire, and sword was corroded with small holes. Xiaoyao took the powder and said to Ah Nian: "If you cry again, I will blow the powder onto your face." Xiaoyao sprinkled some powder on the veil and gently blew it on your face. Smoke rises. Immediately, Ah Nian bit her lips tightly and stared at Xiao Yao in fear, tears were still pouring out, but she didn't dare to cry anymore. Xiaoyao put away the medicine powder, "This is convenient for talking! Since I know your secret, I will also tell you a secret of mine. Actually, it is not a big deal for you to blame your mother's identity, because I treat my mother I hate your identity." Xiaoyao glanced at Anian, "Don't you believe it? It seems that our father is so shrewd, no one dares to chew his tongue in front of you for so many years! Let me tell you! You Do you know why no one dares to mention my mother on Wushen Mountain? Because my mother divorced our father!" Ah Nian forgot to cry and looked at Xiao Yao in shock.In this world, is there any woman who dares to abandon Emperor Jun? Xiaoyao said: "My mother divorced our father and queen, and took me to live in Chaoyun Peak in Xuanyuan Mountain. If this is the case, then that's fine, but she actually ran away for the sake of the righteousness of the family and the world. Leading the army to fight. She sent me to the Queen Mother of Yushan, and lied to me that she would let me play in Yushan, and she would pick me up after a while, but... she never returned, and died in battle! Yushan, that ghostly place, It's not a place where normal people live. The maidservants are all dumb. If the Queen Mother speaks ten words a month, she is very talkative. I look forward to her coming to pick me up every day. I have waited for her for seventy years, but she ..." Xiaoyao sneered, "This is what my mother said to pick me up in a few days!" Xiaoyao leaned down and said to Anian seriously: "To be honest, if God allows a person to choose a mother, I want your mother. Your mother is gentle and delicate, and honestly regards the father as her heavenly mother." , followed her father wholeheartedly. She is just a weak girl who knows nothing, she doesn't have to bear any righteousness, she can watch her daughter grow up, no matter at any time, as long as you want her, she will be there waiting for you. When all the people in the world turn their backs on you, she still guards you." Ah Nian was in a daze, Xiao Yao patted her cheek, "Are you willing to change your mother with me?" Ah Nian immediately shouted: "No, never! My mother is mine." It was as if Xiaoyao really wanted to rob her of her mother. Xiao Yao got up from Ah Nian, and while helping her untie the veil, she said, "Whether you like it or not, this girl has appeared in your world anyway, and now you only have two ways to go." Xiaoyao didn't dare to let go of Ah Nian, she only showed her face.Xiaoyao roughly pushed Ah Nian to sit up, and she squatted in front of Ah Nian, "The first road is the current road, we don't get along well, you keep picking on me, even You don’t hesitate to unite with outsiders to punish me. Have you thought about the end of this road carefully?” Anian didn't speak, Xiaoyao said: "You will make my father suffer, and you will lose Zhuanxu." Ah Nian stared at Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao said: "To the father, you and I are like the palms and the backs of the hands. The palms and the backs of the hands are full of flesh. No matter Shabby you are hurt or I am hurt, he will hurt. If the father hurts Your mother’s life will change, and your mother will also be in pain! If both father and mother are in pain, I don’t believe that you as a daughter will feel happy! And Zhuanxu, maybe you don’t want to admit it, but I know you understand it in your heart , That's why you have to verify again and again. I'm not my father and Zhuanxu, I don't lie to you, I and Zhuanxu are connected by blood, we are connected in safety and danger, we rely on each other, even the only one in this world. If you really hurt Zhuanxu will never forgive you if you leave me!" Xiaoyao paused for a moment, then continued: "The second way is completely different from the first way. We live in peace, so don't stare at me! I'm talking about living in peace, not friendship! The so-called living in peace means living in peace. The water does not interfere with the river, the Cheng En Hall is very big, even if I am one more, as long as you don’t want to pay attention, you can never see him once a year. You can think about the ending of this road carefully. The father will be pleased, and Zhuanxu will still love you. You protect you, and your mother will continue to live in peace." Ah Nian snorted coldly, "Are there only two paths?" Xiao Yao laughed and said, "Actually, there is the third rule, we get along in friendship, from now on you will not only be loved by your father and elder brother, but also have an extra sister who will spoil you." "Bah, you're dreaming!" Xiaoyao spread her hands and said indifferently: "I knew it was a dream, so I didn't mention it at all." Ah Nian lowered her head, meditating silently, Xiao Yao stopped talking. The room fell silent, and the voice outside became harsh, and the maids cried and shouted: "Wang Ji, Wang Ji, stop beating! Please, stop beating...Your Majesty, haven't you already sent someone to report to His Majesty?" Why? Why hasn't His Majesty sent anyone here..." After a while, Xiao Yao saw that Ah Nian's expression was very calm, and continued to untie the veil on Ah Nian's body. As soon as she freed Ah Nian's hands, Ah Nian slapped Xiao Yao hard, and Xiao Yao slapped her. He fell heavily to the ground and raised his fist, "You still want to fight? Then let's continue." Anian said angrily: "You kicked me in the stomach, punched me in the face, and I slapped you in the face, even if it's even, from then on, the well water will never break the river water!" Xiaoyao thought for a while, then withdrew her fist, "Okay!" Xiaoyao stood up, picked up the tattered robe on the ground and wrapped it around her body, she was about to pull the latch, then she turned her head and said, "Only you and I know about the matter between you and Xiang Liu, I will not tell Zhuanxu, you will tell the truth yourself. It's sealed." Xiaoyao opened the door, and the maids stared blankly at her. When Xiaoyao walked back to Minser Hall, the maids also stared blankly at her, and Coral, who was more courageous, stammered and asked, "Wang Ji, who, who hit you?" Xiaoyao walked to the water mirror, there was a clear palm print on the left face, Xiaoyao thought about the bruise on Ah Nian's face, and said with a smile: "Except for another princess in this palace, who else would dare to beat me? However, I also It didn't make her feel better, if you want to see her liveliness, hurry up and see her." The maids still stood there blankly, Xiaoyao said: "If you don't want to watch the excitement, you can prepare bath water for me. I smell like sea fish, which makes me very uncomfortable." The maids came back to their senses, and hurried to prepare bathing utensils, and Coral even went to find the wound medicine. After taking a bath, Xiaoyao took some medicine, ate something, and told the maid: "I will sleep for two hours, remember to wake me up when the time comes." Xiaoyao had a good night's sleep, and after waking up, asked the maid to help her prepare the clothes for going out. Xiaoyao said, "It needs to be more comfortable." As soon as she finished speaking, she thought for a while, and added: "It also needs to be good-looking, both comfortable and good-looking." The maids all lowered their heads and giggled. Coral picked up a gardenia yellow dress and said, "Although this dress needs to be tied around the waist, as long as it's not as tight as a dress, it's actually very comfortable to wear. Wang Ji thinks that last night's Is it uncomfortable to wear?" "Except for being a bit burdensome, it's not uncomfortable." Xiao Yao said with a smile: "That's it." After getting dressed, Xiaoyao looked at herself in front of the mirror, and lamented that with Ah Nian's five finger prints on her, she was dressing up for nothing! Shan Shan had already prepared a matching veil for her, Xiaoyao put on the veil and left the palace on a cloud chariot. Zhuan Xu said that Feng Leong would leave tomorrow, so Jing should also leave early tomorrow morning.This farewell, I don't know when it will be again, so Xiaoyao wants to see him again before he leaves. When we arrived at the courtyard where the Tushan family lived in Shanzhou, the gatekeeper said, "Young Master Jing went shopping. I guess it's because he's leaving tomorrow. He wants to buy some special products from Wushen Mountain to take back as gifts." Xiaoyao thought that Jing would rest, but unexpectedly he went out with Zhuanxu and the others. It seems that he didn't want anyone to know that he didn't sleep last night.Thinking of his two spooky foxtail dolls, if he deliberately concealed it, it would be really difficult for outsiders to determine his whereabouts. No one was found, Xiaoyao was a bit sleepy, and didn't want to go back for a while, so he could only go to Yingzhou Island for a boring stroll. The last time I visited Yingzhou Island was when I was a child, and it was very different from now. At that time, Yingzhou Island was only inhabited by some low-level protoss. It was beautiful, but it was not lively.Now there are many human races, and sometimes you can see monster races, bustling and bustling, very lively.Everyone lives peacefully and contentedly, so behavior is naturally very polite. Xiaoyao couldn't help being proud of her father.After returning, perhaps because she grew up, she could feel that her father was not happy, but her father said that he would exchange everything for what he wanted, which is probably what his father wanted! Xiaoyao saw a set of makeup boxes made of coral, there were about twelve pieces from small to small, the small ones could be used to hold rouge and powder, and the large ones could be used to hold hairpin jewelry.Xiaoyao thought of the maidservant Shan Shan's name, and thought that if it was not too expensive, it would be good to buy this as a gift to Shan Shan.She walked over, picked up one and looked at it. The workmanship was indeed good, and she asked, "How much?" Before the shopkeeper answered, a woman next to her took a look at a makeup box and said, "I want this, pick it up." Xiaoyao didn't really have to, but felt that the woman next to her was too domineering and didn't bother to talk to her, so she just said to the shopkeeper: "It's the item I was looking for first, and I asked for the price first. If I didn't say no, I shouldn't sell it to you." others." The shopkeeper said apologetically to the woman, "That's true for buying and selling things." The woman immediately said: "No matter how much she pays, I will pay you twice." Another woman said: "The workmanship is decent, but the coral is not good. If my sister wants such a thing, I will order the craftsman to carve a set for you with the coral from Guixu." Xiaoyao heard their voices were a little familiar, so she turned her head to look, and it turned out to be Xinyue and Yiying. Feng Long and Zhuan Xu were walking over, followed by a few servants carrying things.Xinyue said to a servant: "Put away this coral makeup box." She turned her head and glanced at Xiaoyao again, and said to Yiying: "I'm not that girl who hasn't seen any good things before. This kind of thing? It’s just looking at the novelty and buying it back to reward the servants.” Xiaoyao is not good at suppressing people like Xinyue with words. At this time, Xiaoyao really hoped that Anian and Haitang were here. Remembering that Haitang asked Xinyue's maid for a bundle of hibiscus trees, Xiaoyao couldn't help laughing, and said to Xinyue. Yue said: "Miss likes it, so take it." Zhuanxu said, "Xiaoyao? It's really you! Why did you come shopping?" Xiao Yao said: "I'm a bit bored, so I just come here for a stroll." As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Jing's side, seeing the joy in his black eyes, Xiao Yao couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. Although it was just two ordinary conversations, Zhuanxu and Xiaoyao seemed very close. Xinyue stared at Xiaoyao warily, and said to Zhuanxu with a half-smile: "You have quite a lot of confidante, you can just stroll around." Come across one." Both Feng Long and Hou laughed, Zhuan Xu coughed slightly, and introduced to everyone: "Didn't you all make a fuss last night to see my cousin? This is my cousin." Feng Leong stopped laughing, and everyone became serious.Fenglong and Xiaoyao greeted each other, and when they raised their heads, they took a careful look at Xiaoyao, but it was a pity that the veil covered her, so she couldn't see the face under the veil. Xiaoyao returned a salute to everyone, secretly paying attention to Tu Shanhou.I thought that such a person should have a wretched temperament even though his facial features are good-looking, but he was unexpectedly handsome.He and Jing's eyebrows and eyes are five or six points similar, but his is tougher, showing a bit of rebellion, and there is a faint scar on the corner of his lips, which makes him smile sharply even when he smiles. Xinyue gave Xiaoyao the set of coral cosmetic box, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, because I'm leaving tomorrow, and it's rare to see a set of unique gifts, so I'm impatient, please accept this set of cosmetic box, even if As a commemoration, we don't know each other." Xiaoyao praised secretly, she deserves to be a child raised by two big families, she looked at Zhuanxu, Zhuanxu nodded slightly, Xiaoyao took it with a smile, "Thank you." Xinyue said happily: "The people shopping in the market are getting more and more lively, why don't you come with us." "Okay!" Xiao Yao agreed. A few people talked while walking, Xiaoyao didn't talk much, but everyone took good care of her, so the group got along well. Xinyue and Fenglong bought a lot of things, and all the attendants who came with them were full. Xinyue smiled bitterly and said, "Don't laugh at us, our parents are big families on both sides, and they came to Wushen Mountain , if you don’t bring something back, it’s unreasonable, but if you send A, you must send B.” Hou said: "We don't know how to laugh, we only envy." Xinyue laughed. Xiao Yao thought to herself, Xinyue treats Hou well, she doesn't appear to be any different from Jing. Xinyue said: "I can't do it anymore, I can't walk anymore, let's find a place to rest." Zhuan Xu laughed and said, "I know you're going to die, there's a restaurant over there, and the dishes are pretty good, anyway, it's almost time for dinner, why don't we have some wine and something to eat over there, counting it as my farewell for everyone. " Zhuanxu led everyone into the restaurant, the owner of the restaurant should know Zhuanxu, greeted them personally, and took them to the patio to sit. 天井被两层高的屋子围着，四四方方，二楼种了不少藤萝类的花草，可店主人并不让那些藤萝攀援，而是让它们直直地垂落下来，犹如绿色珠帘，有的藤萝上结着鲜红欲滴的朱红果子，有的藤萝上开着紫色、黄色的小花，坐在天井中，满眼青翠烂漫，倒好似坐在了山野中。 馨悦瞅着颛顼笑赞：“是个好地方。” 店主请众人落座，大坐榻上放着一张四方的大几案，要两人一边，小夭不知道颛顼的打算，迟疑间，已经被馨悦笑按在丰隆身边坐下。馨悦坐在小夭左手，和颛顼一边。璟和意映则恰坐在了小夭和丰隆对面。篌独坐了一边，和颛顼对面。 店主上了四五种酒，有浓烈的，也有清淡得像蜜水一般的，又端了七八碟精致的小菜和一些瓜果，由众人选用。 看颛顼点头表示了满意，店主立即退下。 丰隆笑道：“看这架势，你不像客，倒像是主人。” 颛顼笑道：“对你们不敢欺瞒，我的确算是这里的主人，我喜欢酿酒，自己一人喝终究没意思，索性就开了几个店。” 馨悦生了兴趣，叽叽喳喳地询问，意映和篌也是不是插嘴说几句，谈得十分热闹。 丰隆用干净的筷子夹了一小碟小玉瓜给小夭，低声道：“我看你刚才第一口吃的就是这个，应该是爱吃的，却夹得很少，若觉得远了，我帮你夹。” 小夭扫了一眼璟，夹了一块小玉瓜放进嘴里，对丰隆说：“谢谢。” 丰隆几种酒都尝过后，倒了一杯清甜的果子酒给小夭，“你尝尝这个。” 小夭接过后，低声说道：“你和他们聊吧，不必特意照顾我。” 馨悦耳朵尖，插嘴道：“我哥哥平日里可不是这样，别人照顾他，他都不稀罕，更别提照顾别人了。我看他今日也的确有些异样，连对我对从未这么小心体贴过。” 丰隆低斥道：“别胡说！” 馨悦做了个鬼脸，对璟说：“璟哥哥，你和哥哥熟，你说我有没有胡说？” 璟微微笑了笑，“没有胡说。” 丰隆不满，用手指点点璟，对意映说：“好嫂子，快帮我堵上他那张嘴。” 意映羞得脸通红，扫了一眼篌，嘴里说着：“别乱叫！”动作却很殷勤，帮璟拿了些距离璟远的小菜，又帮璟倒了酒。 丰隆摇头，笑道：“这可不算堵上！” 颛顼和馨悦都笑着起哄，意映也不介意，双手端起酒盅，递到璟唇边，柔声说道：“请用。” 璟僵坐着，没有动，脸上挂着勉强的笑意。 众人哄笑，丰隆说：“咦？往常也不见你扭捏，今日倒端起来了。” 璟垂着眼，就着意映的手，一口饮尽了酒。 颛顼和丰隆边鼓掌边笑，丰隆赞道：“还是嫂嫂爽快！” 篌也抚掌大笑，意映盯了一眼篌，笑靥如花。 小夭觉得气闷，一口气吃完了碟中的小玉瓜，丰隆立即又帮她夹了一碟。 意映说：“小夭，这里没有外人，戴着帷帽多憋闷，把帽子摘了吧。” 馨悦附和道：“是啊，是啊。” 小夭抱歉地说：“不是不想摘下帽子，而是不知道吃错了什么，脸上突然长了疹子，实在不好见人。” 意映和馨悦都遗憾地叹气，馨悦甚至一边长长地叹气，一边对哥哥说：“不要怪妹妹不帮你，而是老天不帮你。” 店主带着两个婢女，把冷菜都撤了，上了热菜，有拿了几坛酒。 馨悦尝了一口，对颛顼说：“不错。” 颛顼笑道：“得了你的赞，回头我要重赏厨子了。” 众人转而说起了大荒内的各个家族，以及近几十年都有哪些杰出子弟，私下里都喜好些什么。你说几句，我说几句，看似闲聊，却又处处透着玄机。 璟一直沉默，静静地喝着酒，众人大概已习惯他这个样子，都不奇怪。不过，他看似在出神，可每次丰隆或颛顼突然和他说什么，他总能正确地回答，可见他对身边发生的事情一清二楚。 小夭抓了烈酒的酒坛过来，一杯杯地喝着，渐渐地骨头软了，身子如猫一般缩着，一手撑着头，一手端着酒杯。 丰隆新奇地看着她，也不说话，提着酒坛陪她喝，待她喝完一杯，就给她倒一杯，自己也饮一杯，两人好似在拼酒。 颛顼看到了，笑道：“丰隆，你别把我妹妹灌醉了。” 丰隆叹道：“谁灌倒谁还不见得。” 颛顼知道小夭的酒量，笑笑不再说话。到后来，果然是丰隆先醉了，其他人也喝得晕晕乎乎，也不知道谁提议要出海，众人都不反对。 距离酒肆不远处就有个码头，颛顼命人去准备船，众人真乘了船扬帆出海。 到了船上，被海风一吹，都清醒了几分。也许因为明日要离别，可也许更因为年轻，离别之时年少放纵的一个借口，一群人嘻嘻哈哈地我敬你一杯，你再敬我一杯，继续喝酒。 意映喝醉了，拉着馨悦在甲板上跳舞；丰隆看到一尾大鱼游过，说要去海下捉鱼，扑通一声就真跳进了大海。颛顼被吓了一跳，馨悦笑着叫：“不用担心！他可是赤水家的人，一见水就发疯！淹死了谁，也淹不死他！” 颛顼毕竟还是不放心，想找个侍从下海，可一共只来了一个开船的侍从，篌端着酒杯道：“我去陪他捉鱼。”说完，也跳进了大海。 颛顼站在船头张望，意映悬空坐在船舷上，踢踏着双脚，笑着说：“不用担心，他从小到大都不知道猎了多少海兽了，只怕待会儿真要带几条大鱼回来。” 颛顼的酒气上涌，头有些疼。 意映笑问馨悦：“我要去捞月亮，你来吗？” 馨悦摇摇头，指着她说：“你真醉了。” 扑通一声，意映跳进了水里。 馨悦叽叽咕咕地笑，颛顼无力地说：“我应该还是不用担心吧？” “不知道，我不清楚她的水性，不过，下去不就知道了。”她拉住颛顼，颛顼说：“我不会游水，你知道的。” “我知道你不会游水。”馨悦的眼睛亮晶晶的，就好似最璀璨的星星，她蛊惑一般地对颛顼说：“随我跳下去！” 颛顼不说话，只是似笑非笑地看着馨悦。馨悦仰着头笑，媚眼如丝，“敢不敢把你的命给我？”说完，她凝视着颛顼，一步步倒退着走到船边，一个倒仰，翻进了海里。 颛顼笑了笑，走过去，干脆利落地也跳进了大海。 小夭端着酒杯，趴在船舷上，笑着又喝了一杯。如果不是昨日夜里被相柳那死魔头逼得在海里泡了一夜，她也真想跳进去。 璟默默走到她身后，小夭回身，滑坐到甲板上，嘲讽道：“现在你敢接近我了？” 璟不吭声，小夭举起空酒杯，璟拿起酒壶，帮她斟了一杯。小夭把酒杯递给他，璟接过，以为是要他喝，刚要喝，小夭半撩开面纱，指指自己的唇。 璟把酒杯凑到小夭唇畔，小夭就着他的手，慢慢地饮完。 酒气上涌，小夭头发沉，两边的太阳穴直跳，胃里也有些翻涌。她知道自己是真醉了，推开璟的手，闭目靠着船舷，等着那股难受劲儿过去。 璟拿了个小药囊，凑在小夭的鼻端，让她嗅着。 小夭道：“你倒是没忘记我教你的东西。” “永远都不会忘记。” “看到丰隆对我好，你心里难受吗？” “难受。”璟沉默了一瞬，慢慢地说，“很难受。” 小夭笑起来，“听到你难受，我倒是挺好受。” 璟的手指轻轻碰了一下她的脸颊，“谁打了你？” 小夭道：“阿念，我踹了她一脚，打了她一拳，扯平。” 璟的指尖凝聚了灵力，轻抚着小夭脸上的红肿，小夭推开他的手，“你娘的眼光不错，防风意映会是个很好的妻子，你和她很般配。” 璟脸上的血色一点点褪去，他垂下了头，喃喃道：“我就知道早上是在做梦，我开心了一整天，下午在街头见到你时，我以为你是来看我的，我真的很开心，真的很开心……” 璟呆呆地坐在甲板上，无声无息。 小夭想起刚被她救回医馆的十七，从不发出任何声音，总是无声无息地躺着，小六给他什么他接受什么，他自己既不表达痛，也不表达饿或渴。有时候小六觉得他已经死了，用手去摸他的脖子，直到感受到他的脉搏，小六才会相信这个人还活着。 小夭只觉心里搅得难受，一阵翻江倒海，忙站起趴在船栏上，哇一声吐了出来。 璟轻抚着她的背，待她吐完，又把水递给她，让她漱口。 小夭头重脚轻、耳鸣目沉，璟扶着她，小心翼翼地让她坐下。 璟把她脸上的碎发往后拢，小夭突然抱住了他的腰，喃喃说：“我今天下午真的是去看你的，不信你回去问看门的仆役。我去找你，没找到，才去街上乱逛的。” 璟紧搂着小夭，额头抵在小夭的头发上，只觉短短一会儿，他跌落了深渊，正以为万劫不复时，却又飞上了云端。 他感觉小夭身子直往下滑，低头看她，她竟然醉睡了过去。璟忍不住笑，他调整了一下姿势，让小夭靠躺在他怀里。 海风轻轻吹动，海潮轻轻摇动着船，他望着天上的圆月，只想就这么过一夜。 璟看了一眼身旁的酒坛，将一只手放在酒坛上，只见白烟从酒坛中逸出，渐渐地笼罩了整艘船。从外面看过来，整艘船像被大海吞噬了，什么都再看不见。 璟低头看着熟睡的小夭，手指轻轻地抚摸着她脸上的伤痕，又一点点用指尖描摹着她的轮廓。一遍遍描摹，直到纵使他被剜去双目，依旧能清晰地看见她。 一个多时辰后，小夭轻轻动了下，喃喃叫：“十七。”迷迷糊糊地睁开眼睛。 璟微笑地看着她，小夭说：“我好像睡了一觉。” "Ok." “他们还没回来？” "No." 小夭感叹：“平时一个比一个老成稳重，没想到竟是一群疯子。” 璟对小夭说：“我对意映无心，意映对我也绝对无情，这次回去后，我就会和奶奶说取消婚约。” “嗯？嗯……”小夭的脑子还晕着，一瞬后，才反应过来，“你怎么知道？她对你那么温柔体贴……” 璟打断了她，“小夭，我曾经遇到过不少对我有意的女子，我明白女人真正动情时看男人的目光，不管意映举动多温柔体贴，却从未那样看过我。而且，我现在……”璟抚了抚小夭的鬓角，“我知道渴望得到一个人的感觉，我不会判断错！” 小夭轻嘘了口气：“那就好。” 璟很是心酸，小夭没有亲眼看到，私下无人时意映看他的眼神，所以小夭总不相信他是残缺的，总不相信意映会嫌弃他，她以为他在别人眼中和在她眼中一样。 小夭忽然间想到什么，兴奋地坐了起来。“既然她不要你，你回来做我的十七吧！”她的眼眸熠熠生辉，“你当年不是说担心不回去的话，涂山篌那个疯子会伤害我和老木他们吗？可是玟小六已经失踪了，我现在是高辛王姬，涂山篌伤害不了我，你可以到我身边做十七。” 璟凝视着小夭，沉默不语，眼中有哀伤。 小夭渐渐冷静了，自嘲地说：“我是不是又说了傻话？”璟已经失踪过一次，如果再来一次，别说篌，只怕涂山家的太夫人不见尸体都不会罢休。 璟低声道：“你没说傻话，只是有些事情变化了。我回去之后，才发现大哥正把涂山家带入危险中，如果我就这么走了，我怕他会毁掉整个涂山氏。小夭，给我一些时间，好吗？让我想办法安排好一切。”其实，不仅仅是整个家族的安危，有些话他没有办法说出口。如果眼前的人还是玟小六，他只需是叶十七，隐居在一个小镇上，他们就可以相伴一生，可她是高辛王姬。当看到那一场盛大的拜祭仪式时，他就明白了，他们俩都回不去了。有资格守在小夭身旁的男人绝不会是一个藏头缩尾的男人，他要想一世陪伴小夭，就必须取消婚约，以涂山璟的身份，堂堂正正地走到小夭身旁。 小夭笑了笑，低声说：“你有十五年的时间。璟，你打算怎么办？” “我也不知道，但我知道我一定会回到你身边，因为我答应过要一辈子听你的话，所以……”璟的额头抵着小夭的额头，虔诚地祈祷：“请为我守住的心。” 小夭的指头插进他的头发中，笑着抓他的头发，“我已经看出来了，你是个狡猾的人。就算我想忘记，你也会不停地变着法子提醒我，一边说着不敢奢望，一边却又绝不放手。” 璟的声音很痛苦，喃喃说：“我只是……没有办法……我知道你值得更好的，可是我没有办法……对不起……” 小夭忙说：“我明白、我明白。” 璟低声说：“你不明白。” 小夭很老实地承认：“是不明白，可我总得说点什么安慰你啊！” 璟轻声笑起来，叹息道：“他们要回来了。” 小夭看看天色，“天都快亮了，也该回来了。” 璟又看了一会儿小夭，要把帷帽给小夭戴上，小夭抓住了他的手，不让他戴，咬着唇，闭上了眼睛。 璟轻轻地吻住了小夭的额心，直到不得不离开，他才抬起头，把帷帽给小夭戴上。 小夭躲到了船舱后，整理头发和衣裙，听到馨悦、颛顼、丰隆的说话声，小夭一抬头，却看见璟的头发刚被她十指插进去，抓得乱七八糟。此时连提醒璟都已经来不及，更何况整理头发，小夭的脸色变了。 却看璟一边站起，一边随手解开了束发的发冠，满头青丝如银河泻九天，披落在他背上，飘散在海风中。他侧倚着船栏，几分慵懒，几分随意地看着东边天空初露的晨曦。 小夭一瞬间看得心如鹿撞，怦怦直跳。颛顼叫了她好几声，她都没有听到惹得所有人都看着她。 颛顼推了她一把，“你在想什么？” 小夭忙道：“啊，你们回来了。”脸刹那涨得通红，幸亏有面纱遮住，没有人能看到。 璟却似乎明白了，眼中飞溅着喜悦。 馨悦叽叽呱呱地抱怨，说他们记错了船的位置，找了好大一圈才找到船，又担忧地说，一直没碰到意映和篌，希望他们别出什么事情。 正在抱怨，看到意映向着船游来，馨悦哈哈大笑，跑到船边，把意映拉上去，“你是不是也没找到船？” 意映愣了一下，笑道：“是啊。” 璟说道：“船舱里有清粥小菜，你们如果饿了，就先吃点。” 几个游了一夜水的人都进了船舱，小夭和璟也跟了进去。 丰隆问小夭，“要喝点清粥吗？” 小夭忙到：“我自己来，你吃你的吧。” 颛顼似笑非笑地瞅着他，小夭瞪了颛顼一眼：你也好意思来嘲笑我？ 意映和馨悦也不知道是因为累了，还是困了，都十分沉默。小夭也不想说话，只听见丰隆和颛顼偶尔交谈一句。 待几人吃完，侍从要开船时，篌仍没回来。 馨悦担心地说：“篌哥哥不会出事吧？” 丰隆看向璟，璟道：“以他的能力，应该不会有事，我让小狐去找找他。”璟说着话，从他的袖中跑出一只像是烟雾凝结的九尾狐狸，九尾狐却没有离开，而是朝着一个方向叫了一声，又缩回了璟的袖中，消失不见。 璟道：“篌回来了。” 不一会儿，只见篌从远处飞驰而来。脚下踩着一条凶猛的大鱼。他上半身赤裸着，露出紧致的古铜色肌肤，衣服被他撕成一缕缕，做成了一条缰绳，像马笼头一般勒着大鱼的头，他双手拉着缰绳，驱策着大鱼在海中驰骋。照样在他身后冉冉升起，篌浑身上下都散发着男性最纯粹的阳刚魅力。 馨悦和意映都扭过了头，假装被别处的风景吸引，小夭却目不转睛地看着篌，带着几分欣羡，扬声问道：“它听话吗？” 篌笑着没说话，只是策着大鱼，灵活地围着船绕行了一圈。小夭不禁鼓掌喝彩，笑道：“这个好玩，以后我也找个这样的座骑，就不用辛苦游泳了。” 颛顼嘲笑道：“别做梦了，就你的灵力还能制服这种鱼怪？它那你做点心还差不多。” 小夭叹气，也是。 篌一手握着缰绳，一手朝着鱼身的某处一拳击下，手探进了鱼腹中，掏出一个鸽子蛋般大的血红宝石，就着海水洗干净血污，跃上了船。 那块血红的宝石晶莹剔透，在阳光下发出璀璨的光芒。馨悦的眼睛一亮，对篌说：“篌哥哥，能把它转让给我吗？”她虽然说的是转让，但她难得开口要东西，以篌的脾气，肯定就直接送给她了。 但是，馨悦没有想到，篌抱歉地笑笑，说道：“这块鱼丹红我有用，回头我让人再找给你。” 馨悦勉强地笑笑，什么都没说，走到意映身旁，和她一块儿张望着朝阳下的大海。 人已到齐，颛顼下令开船，船向着瀛州的码头驶去。 篌进船舱去洗漱换衣，小夭问丰隆：“那是什么宝石？” 丰隆笑道：“这船上有涂山家的人在，我可不敢谈宝石。”他扬声把立在船尾的璟叫来，“璟，小夭向知道篌猎取的鱼丹红是什么宝石。” 璟走到小夭身旁，解释道：“其实，那就是深海鱼怪的内丹，鱼怪的内丹色泽鲜艳，人们根据它们最主要的颜色叫做鱼丹红、鱼丹紫……鱼丹红是最常见的鱼丹，可纯净到像这块这样一丝杂色都没有的，却极其罕见。鱼丹可以做首饰、佩饰，还可以入药。如果是品级好的鱼丹，炼制成宝器，含在嘴中，可以延长人在水下的时间。” 本来璟说话时，小夭就走神了，可听到最后一句，突然有了兴趣，“什么算品级好？刚才的那块算是吗？” “颜色越纯净，品级就越好，刚才的那块算是最好的鱼丹了。” 丰隆对小夭说：“这种东西可遇不可求，你若想要，我回去问问爷爷。” 小夭忙道：“我就是看着好看，随口问问。” 朝阳下的大海犹如撒了金粉，闪耀着万点金光，一群群白色海鸟在海面上盘旋，倏忽来去。 一时间，三人都眺望着壮阔美丽的大海，默默不语。 小夭仗着有帷帽遮掩，偷偷地看璟。 璟很快就察觉了，垂下眼眸，唇角抿着笑意。小夭也笑，虽然不能说一句话，甚至不能站得太近，可又觉得心意相通，很亲密。 船靠岸了，众人都下了船。
