Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 5 The Return
beep~ beep~ beep~
Accompanied by the loud whistle, it was already afternoon when the fishing boat returned to the port.

The seagulls came following the smell, circled in mid-air, and their cries rang out.

Putting on a white shirt and light blue jeans, Yan Jing walked on the pier with the foam box in her hands.

Ordinary people wear loose clothes, but they are a little tense when they come to him. The strong muscle lines of his back and arms, coupled with his firm face with good features, attract many young women who come to buy seafood to turn back frequently.

After crossing the seafood stall and saying hello to several familiar stall owners, Yan Jing's pace gradually accelerated.

Come to the up ramp on the side of the pier.

The street above the stairs is lined with trees, and on the right side of the upper end of the ramp stands a sign: Corning Street.

Sitting on the railing beside the street sign was a girl with a high ponytail, her fair oval face was very delicate and lovely.She was wearing a blue and white dress, and her sneakers with the Page pattern were overlapping and stepping on the brick and stone pavement.

With earphones plugged into her ears, she hummed a song, shaking her head to the music.

"Ruan Xiaolian!"

Hearing someone shout, the girl turned her head and saw Yan Jing carrying a foam box down the slope.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then his whole face brightened like a golden beam of light falling from among the green trees.

"elder brother!"

Taking off the earphones, he ran down the stairs beside the ramp with a smile. When he reached Yan Jing, he couldn't wait to open a corner of the foam box and saw the lobster and grouper inside, his eyes narrowed into crescents.

"Hey, I knew you wouldn't lie to me."

"From childhood to adulthood, have you fulfilled what I promised you? Let's go, Ms. Little Page in Fangning District, go home."

Stepping up the stairs, Yan Jing had a gentle smile on his face, suddenly felt his waist was poked twice, and couldn't help but look at the girl.

"They said don't call me this nickname, brother, you seem to be thinner than a month ago, but why are your muscles like iron? Are the fitness effects on the boat so good?"

The girl poked Yan Jing's waist and back back and forth in confusion, and asked.

"Of course, the workload of going to sea this time is very heavy, and your brother and I are the first officer, so we have to lead the way."

He casually found an excuse to evade it. In fact, Yan Jing's thinness was due to the acquisition of fighting specialization, which made his body start to change in this way, and this was what he discovered this morning.

The siblings went uphill side by side, and Yan Jing saw the little light pink eDonkey parked by the side of the road at a glance.

"I don't know how to drive your motorcycle, so let's get off it?"

Taking out two pink helmets from under the seat, Xiao Lian raised her eyebrows,

"My parents started talking about you the day before yesterday, go to my house for lunch first, big lobster, hey~"

"I'll make you pure fried rice with lobster eggs later."

Put the foam box on the footsteps in front of the eDonkey, wait for Xiaolian to sit on it and start the vehicle.

An earphone is plugged into the right ear, and the most popular pop songs are playing in it. Although Yan Jing spends most of the time at sea every year, she also watches TV dramas recommended by Xiao Lian to pass the time when she is free.

"Brother, I have something to discuss with you."

"Ok?"

"I will go to Sankyung University to report in a few days, how about you go with me?"

"Okay, third uncle is just about to overhaul the boat. I have more than half a month's vacation, and I planned to go out to play."

"Okay~"

Xiao Lian, who received an affirmative answer, raised her head with a smile, and was about to say something more, when Yan Jing in front of her suddenly pulled the brakes and couldn't help but ask,

"what happened?"

"Something seems to happen up ahead"

Yan Jing looked at the crowd in front of him. There were still two police cars parked on the side of the street, but there was no sign of the police.

"Alas~ the sixth time this week."

Ruan Xiaolian looked at it with her head, then retracted without interest,
"Let's take a detour home quickly, or the road behind will be blocked."

"What sixth time?"

Turning the car around, Yan Jing asked while finding time to leave the street.

"Police car, the police are dispatched every three days. Although our place is still some distance from the center of Guangchen, the law and order has always been very good. I don't know what happened this month. There were several murders. My dad watched the news. And let me be careful when I go in and out."

Putting her chin on Yan Jing's shoulder, Xiao Lian suddenly seemed to think of something, and then said,

"The day before yesterday, my high school classmate sent me a message, saying that the haunted house in Happy Valley was haunted. I laughed at her at the time and said that the haunted house can be haunted if it is not haunted. Later, I found out that many people died in the haunted house that day. Anyway, I will never went."

"If there are any other strange things, please tell me. I don't know anything at sea."

Yan Jing's tone of voice remained unchanged while his back was facing Xiao Lian, but his expression was a little more serious.

The situation seemed worse than he had imagined.

Supernatural events obviously don't just happen at sea, similar situations have begun to spread among cities.

呲~呲~
The overnight cold rice was mixed with diced carrots and slipped into a non-stick pan covered with a layer of boiling oil. Yan Jing was wearing an apron. During the stir-frying, she added soy sauce, shrimp oil, fried eggs, and lobster meat in order.

All kinds of ingredients blend together to produce a beautiful fragrance, which wafts out along the small door of the kitchen.

Ruan Xiaolian in the living room was slumped on the sofa, watching short videos, but as soon as she smelled it, she quickly got up and went to the kitchen.

"Brother, let me have a taste."

Holding the rice spoon, Xiao Lian, who was about to have a hala hanging from her mouth, grabbed Yan Jing and raised her blocking arm.

"Are you taking a bite? I'm too embarrassed to break you."

Yan Jing glanced at the palm-sized spoon, and said helplessly,

"Let's eat together later. It's 06:30. My uncle and aunt should be off work. Why don't you come back?"

At this time, the sky outside the kitchen window was full of sunset, and the orange-red afterglow of the setting sun passed through the window frame, reflecting half of Yan Jing's body.

Just as he was talking, the sound of opening the door came from outside.

"As soon as I smelled the smell of fried rice, I knew it must be Ah Jing who came back. This cat in my family can even scramble an egg."

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a gentle temperament appeared outside the kitchen, holding a sleeve and apron in her hand, and said with a smile,

"If there's anything else I haven't done, I'll help you."

"mom!"

"There is also a grouper, which needs to be dealt with by Aunt Ruan."

Yan Jing poured the fried rice in the pot into the large porcelain bowl prepared in advance, ignored Xiao Lian's reproach, and asked with a smile,

"Where's Uncle Ruan, didn't you come back with you?"

The Ruan family are teachers in the same high school, and they usually commute to get off work together.

"Something happened at the school, and he, the dean, has to stay and deal with it. It is said that a monkey escaped from the zoo and ran around in the city. The police issued a notice to the school, asking us to convey the news to all day students, so that They pay attention to safety on the way back, and the students at school go back to bed early, and it is strictly forbidden to go out at will."

"It's so serious, could it be the Monkey King who escaped?"

"Tsk, full of wisecracks, they are all college students who are not in shape yet, don't run around at night later, Ah Jing, why don't you just stay here tonight, and I'll clean up your room."

After pinching Ruan Xiaolian's fair and tender face, Aunt Ruan looked at Yan Jing again and said.

Since Yan Jing's parents passed away in an accident a few years ago, they have treated the former as their own children.

"No, Third Uncle will invite us crew members to dinner later. It will probably last until midnight. It won't look good when I come back smelling of alcohol. I'm going to go home, take a shower and sleep. Don't worry, my physique, It was bad luck for the monkey to run into me."

Yan Jing's height is 1.8 meters [-], with the tendons on her upper body, among other things, her deterrent power must be full.

He had a simple dinner at Ruan's house to fill his stomach, and set aside five points for third uncle's treat.

They chatted with the mother and daughter of the Ruan family for a while, most of the time it was Yan Jing talking about some interesting things that happened at sea, and the mother and daughter would occasionally mention anecdotes and strange things that happened in Guangchen City recently.

When the sky outside completely darkened, Yan Jing set off for Fenglai Tower. The Third Uncle's side was about to start, so naturally he, the first mate, couldn't be absent.

Walking alone on the street, Yan Jing looked at the people passing by, and what she was thinking about was still the content of the various cases that she had just checked on her mobile phone.

Not just Guangchen City, but the whole country. No, it should be said that a round of supernatural incidents broke out all over the world.

'Yuanjing Tianchi Water Monster', 'Luosheng Church Mountain Blood Moon Incident', 'Muye Mountains Savage Incident', 'Pyramid Hanging Incident'.
Even Shanqing, where Xiaolian is going to go next, has a murder case in blood clothes, which makes people panic.

The headlines of these news were placed a few months ago, and they would only be regarded as a way for the news media to grab people's attention, and most of them were fake novelty-hunting pictures.

But now every single one, every place where it appears is the mainstream news stations in various places.

Even though most of the incidents have not yet been verified for exact reasons, the fact that these news can appear on TV itself means that some rules are being changed.

Yan Jing went to some social platforms to search for similar topics, and there were all kinds of topics.

After a while, the spiritual energy will recover, and everyone will practice immortality. After a while, the end is approaching, so we must hurry up and eat something good, and have fun.

There is even more outrageous right and wrong saying that his idol brother is the reincarnation of a god, otherwise he would not have fallen in love at first sight, and the people watching would frown.

Yan Jing tried to look for existences that might be similar to himself from the mixed information, but he also found that there were some hidden meanings in a few posts, but he didn't do anything hastily.

It's like scamming.

No one knows what the soft-spoken, soft-spoken and easy-to-pull younger sister with whom you've been dreaming of dating online looks like in real life.

Under the premise that the situation is unknown and one's own strength is not strong enough, hiding one's identity and self-protection is the most important thing.

Don't forget, the torch does not restrict the Ember Apostles from revealing its existence!

'At least you must have enough self-protection ability, and then consider communicating with other "ember apostles". '

Making a decision in his heart, Yan Jing cast his eyes on the shops not far away.

I haven't been home for more than half a month, and some daily necessities have to be repurchased.

But when Yan Jing walked to the door, there were suddenly two explosions from the block behind him!
The passers-by who heard the sound thought they were firecrackers, looked over there and continued to move forward, but Yan Jing's footsteps stopped suddenly.

[The hunting mission trigger condition is met]

[This mission is a free mission, Ember Apostle can choose whether to accept it, there is no penalty for failure]

There was no punishment for the free mission, so Yan Jing decisively chose to accept it.

Whether to complete it is another matter, he wants to know more about this new task form.

【Hunting Target: Mandrill】

[Task Reward 50: Fire Point*[-]]

[Task Reward 1: Ordinary Quality Random Item*[-]]

Looking at the information about the mission rewards, Yan Jing was stunned for two seconds.

So shabby?
