Chapter 118 No.15 Scene [-]
Leng Jiayun, who was sleeping soundly, slowly opened her eyes.

Maybe it was because she was too tired these days, she didn't know how long she had slept, she just felt groggy in her head.Rubbing her sleepy eyes, the woman vaguely heard the laughter of several children outside the house, so she got up and opened the door, only to realize that she had slept until noon.

The warm wind blows on the face, carrying a faint smell of moist seafood.After summer, Qingwan is full of green colors, and the white sand on the beach is also dazzling in the sun.However, Leng Jiayun didn't remember why she slept in such a wooden house facing the sea last night, and she couldn't even recall where this white beach was located on the island.

The woman raised her hand to shade her eyebrows, but she couldn't find anyone other than herself on the beach.The children's voices sounded again, so close that she couldn't help but follow the voice and walk down the cliff on the side of the beach.

The sand under her feet was as soft as a ball of cotton, and when she stepped on it, a horseshoe-shaped hillock would rise up, making Leng Jiayun suddenly have the illusion that she was in the boat division camp on the outskirts of Mulu City.

Finally, in the hazy white, she saw a few short figures.It was three children around five or six years old, two boys and one girl, chasing and playing with each other on the beach, and it was unknown which family they sneaked out of.

However, to the surprise of the woman in purple, as soon as the girl saw her, she immediately ran over with a smile, took her hand and called out affectionately:

"Mother, mother, come and play with us!"

Leng Jiayun was surprised, but still knelt down and held the other's tender hand, and asked with a smile:

"Little girl, how could you treat me as your own mother, did you recognize the wrong person?"

But before she finished speaking, she saw a blooming crabapple tied on the girl's braided hair.The woman's heart suddenly jumped a few times, and she immediately realized that there was someone behind her.Before she could turn around, a familiar voice sounded in her ear:

"Xiaojia, you didn't expect that our child has grown so tall."

The woman in purple was startled, and immediately got up to look, only to find that there was a large sea of ​​begonias planted under the cliff beside her.Although it is not in season, the flowers on the tree are still blooming brightly, like a bunch of burning fires.And among the clusters of flowers, stood a strong man dressed in Tsing Yi, with disheveled hair, a stubbled face, and an unkempt appearance.The man squinted and smiled, his face full of affection.

"Baili...how could you...how could..."

Leng Jiayun was stunned suddenly, and then let tears blur her vision, trying to touch the other's cheek with trembling hands.The man in Tsing Yi seemed to have guessed what she was going to ask a long time ago, caressing the woman's hands and saying:

"Could it be that Xiaojia forgot that you once advised me not to be attached anymore, and stay with you away from that place of right and wrong, and spend the rest of my life in peace. Although I was uneasy at the beginning and felt that I had let down Brother Fufeng. But now that my son and daughter are safe, And slowly let go."

The man in Tsing Yi smiled, hugged the woman into his arms, and kissed her deeply.

Leng Jiayun's heart trembled, but she just closed her eyes tightly, fearing that the man in front of her would disappear when she opened them again.She greedily felt the temperature of the other person's body, and she didn't want to think whether what she saw before her was real or illusory.If everything was just a dream in the end, she would rather never wake up again!
However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations, before the woman in purple had a chance to express her thoughts, she suddenly felt the other party's arms around her tighten, and said in a low voice: "Be careful!" and rolled away on the spot with her.The woman hurriedly opened her eyes, only to see that the sky above her head changed color instantly, with dark clouds pressing down on the surroundings and thunder billowing.

A thunderbolt fell from the sky and hit the place where the two of them stood just now.In the blink of an eye, a huge wave surged up in the sea, and then a huge fleet rose from the sea.The flags of the twelve princes of the Dasheng Dynasty were flying on the ship, the lights were dim, and the horns were sounding.Immediately afterwards, like locusts passing through the sky, a large black shadow floated low!

That is the rain of death shot from the ship!
General Tsing Yi picked up his beloved wife and hid behind a crabapple tree, but turned around and rushed to the beach again.I saw him hugging the three children in his arms, half kneeling on the ground, actually using his body to set up a human shield for them!
Leng Jiayun also wanted to rush out to help, but it was too late.The arrow rain came in an instant, and she could only watch helplessly as the iron arrow plunged heavily into the back of the man she loved deeply, poking him like a hedgehog.But even so, General Tsing Yi still took his last breath and pushed the children in his arms towards his beloved wife:

"Quick! Take the three of them away and protect me!"

The woman burst into tears, but she couldn't say a word, she just kept shaking her head.The man didn't say anything else, he pulled out the black and red double blades on his waist, propped himself up and rushed towards the allied forces of the princes who had already landed behind him!

"Baili don't!"

Panicked and at a loss, Leng Jiayun finally roared, but her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't even recognize herself.She suddenly begins to wish it was all just a nightmare, and wonders why she can't wake up.Suddenly, there was another thunderclap above his head, and when he went to look at the three children beside him, he found that they had grown into youths and girls in their prime, one with eyes like black ink, one with white clothes better than snow, and one with red hair like fire !
The woman didn't have time to think about it, she pulled up the children and retreated towards Qingwan City.Unexpectedly, the city had already turned into a sea of ​​flames.The water gate in front of Crescent Bay was shattered, and the ground was full of dead and wounded islanders, howling and bleeding.The survivors were chasing and killing the survivors, but it was obviously not the coalition forces of the previous princes, but countless hideous murlocs with scales and fire bolts in their hands!
The whereabouts of the four were soon discovered by a group of murlocs.The woman clearly saw a pair of blue eyes staring at the other party's scaly face, and felt completely chilled from head to toe.In a panic, she hurriedly pulled the children up and turned around to run away, but she heard three loud "bang bang bang" sounds behind her, and her hands tightened suddenly. Make a big wound out of a bowl.

Leng Jiayun cried and tried to stop the hot blood from gushing out of the wound, but one pair of hands was not enough.Soon, she was completely submerged in a pool of blood, and her mind was blank, but she didn't know who to save first, so she could only helplessly watch the children's exposed hearts gradually stop beating.

The woman added new tears before the tears had dried.In the mournful cry, she suddenly found that she was back on the previous white sand beach.Under the violent wind and torrential rain, the crabapple trees in full bloom fell with the wind, and the petals fell to the ground, as bright red as blood.The bloody red soon engulfed the entire island, and also engulfed the three children in her arms.

"don't want--!"

Leng Jiayun finally woke up from the nightmare screaming, her clothes were already soaked through.But she just looked down to see if there was blood on her trembling hands because of nervousness, and she couldn't tell where was a dream and where was reality.

"Sister Jia, did you have a nightmare?"

Hearing the scream, Qi Ziyin rushed over from another room next door holding a candlestick, worry written all over his face.

The woman in purple didn't look at each other, she just sat on the couch and shook her head lightly, muttering to herself as if she hadn't woken from a nightmare:

"Baili, I just wanted to avoid blindly before, thinking that as long as I could avoid those intrigues and power disputes, I could live my life with peace of mind. But now I finally understand that shrinking back will only make your enemies more arrogant. I will push myself into desperation step by step, waiting to be killed. Today, I swear to the heavens that even if I spend my entire life, I will decipher the secrets left by the ancestors in the White Tower, and then use divine power to find General Yan again. And those two children Ning Yue, protect them for you, protect everyone in Qingwan City!"

When she said these words, the woman clenched her fists tightly, and she didn't even notice that her nails pierced the flesh of her palms and bled...

The appearance of the woman from Dongli made Qi Ziyin feel a bit of sadness in his heart.He closed the door again and retreated out, standing outside the stone house staring blankly at the Chanying Sea in the night.

He knew that for Xiang Baili, for Jiang Yan, Ning Yue and himself, the other party had paid unimaginable, even more incomprehensible forbearance and hard work.When in front of people, Leng Jiayun always showed a tough and optimistic look, even when she spent all day in Fuguo drinking to relieve her sorrows, there was always a string in her heart.However, at this time, after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers and returning to Qingwan, the tremendous pressure in her heart was finally completely released, causing her to remove all the disguise, revealing the scarred heart that had been deliberately hidden.

The boy in white let out a long sigh, and walked towards the foot of the mountain in the starry sky.At this moment, he only felt bored, but he couldn't think of a solution to the problem in a short time, so he thought of going to the fish market in front of Crescent Bay to relieve his mood.

In summer, the temperature rises quickly after sunrise, and seafood is not easy to keep for a long time. Therefore, although there is still some time before dawn, it is actually the most lively time in the fish market.All the fishermen will also put their best products on the table to sell before the sunrise.

Soon, Qi Ziyin stopped in front of a stall selling whale meat.Even in Jinghui Bay, he had seen this kind of giant beast prowling in the sea, but he never thought that people could kill it in a way, and drag it ashore to sell it.

"Ask the shopkeeper, how did you catch these giant whales ashore?"

"Oh, it's the boy from Ye country who came ashore with Miss Leng. He's really a rare guest. But you stopped me, I didn't actually kill this whale."

It seems that because they seldom see outsiders, the shops selling whale meat are particularly enthusiastic.But his answer made Qi Ziyin suspect that he had heard it wrong: "Then this whale meat—"

"Boy, in fact, whales are just like people. They can be injured and die. After being severely injured with a hooked spear, this whale drifted to the vicinity with the current and ran aground. We Qingwan people use whales as our own protection gods, and We will not take the initiative to hunt them. But if we encounter such dead whales, we will still drag them back. Because we believe that eating whale meat can obtain part of the soul and divine power of the dead giant beast.”

"But this whale is so huge, how can the hook spear kill it?" The young man was obviously aroused by his curiosity.

"Naturally, a mere hook spear cannot kill it, and even its thick skin cannot be completely penetrated. So whale hunters usually attach buoys, small boats, etc. to the back of the hook spear. While these giants float to the surface When breathing air, stick spears on them. If there are enough spears, the whales will no longer be able to dive into the water, and it will become more difficult to swim, and eventually exhausted, they will be dragged back to the shore to be slaughtered."

"And why was the whale not dragged back by those who injured it?"

"This bowhead whale can be considered very strong. When we found it, there were more than [-] hooked spears pierced on its body. It seems that it should have fled from Dankou, north of Jinghui Bay. Arrived here."

"He is indeed a strong guy..."

Qi Ziyin sighed, and couldn't help thinking of the black-eyed boy who tried to cover himself to evacuate despite his serious injuries.He squeezed a bag of sea monster tears from Sister Jia in his bosom, thinking that he had once fought with Jiang Yan for these things and was jealous, so he couldn't help shaking his head with some self-blame.

However, at this moment, there was a commotion in the market.A man hurriedly jumped off a fishing boat that had just landed, shouting to the crowd in a panic:

"Come on, come on! Look at what the hell I caught in the sea this time!"

Qi Ziyin also followed the crowd towards the boat.The fisherman struggled to drag down a large net from the boat, and after untying the net, he saw that the body of a murloc covered with scales from head to toe was wrapped in it!
"This is—the Siren!"

The boy's heart trembled, and he worried whether those half-man, half-fish monsters were planning to attack Qingwan again.Unexpectedly, someone in the crowd recognized the murloc's body:

"Hey, do you see that the longevity lock on this murloc's neck is exactly the same as that of Bei Dao Quanfu?"

After his reminder, several people around immediately nodded their heads in agreement:

"That's right, Quanfu's longevity lock was made by his father himself, there will never be another one in the world."

"Having said that, how did this thing end up on a murloc?"

"I remember seeing Quan Fu before I went to sea yesterday. Could it be that I was plotted against by a monster at sea?"

"You must have misremembered. Quanfu has been sick at home a few days ago. On the first night of the sea trip, I went to his house to ask him. At that time, he clearly said through the door that he was still sick and could not go. of."

The crowd chattered and talked non-stop, but they couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.Seeing this, the white-clothed boy hurriedly pushed aside the islanders in front of him to prevent them from continuing to argue, and then asked the fisherman who brought up the corpse:

"Do you know how you died? Have you ever seen trauma on your body?"

"There are some wounds on the back of the corpse, but they are not fatal--instead, they seem to have been scratched by themselves."

As the other party spoke, he kicked hard with his feet and turned the corpse over, revealing a large festering and swollen wound on his back.Other than that, however, no new discoveries have been made.Gradually, the gathered crowd dispersed again, leaving only the young man in white still standing there, as if he was thinking about something in his mind.
