Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 15 The Embroidered Boy
"Xuan Ling, are you asleep?"

The sea breeze knocked on the window, the night was quiet, and the room was pitch black.

Yue Wujiu still sleeps in the same room with Shi Xuanling, just like they used to be on a boat, with a screen separating them, they each sleep on a bed.

Ever since Zhong Lisheng left, Yue Wujiu has been tossing and turning, worried, he finally couldn't hold back, and softly said to the other side of the screen:

"I'm always uneasy. I'm worried that something will happen to you if you enter that Yuncheng. Zhonglisheng's temperament is too weird, moody, and extremely ruthless. I'm really worried that you will follow him into the city alone..."

After a while of silence, a girl's soothing voice came from the other side of the screen to answer: "My lord, don't worry, that little shark is actually not scary, it's just a little bit rampant, and I think he laughs so silly every time." .”

The little purple shark, with a small horn on its head, laughs with its head up, or with its hips on its hips, sometimes when it gets proud, it even twists its body and dances, not to mention how silly it looks.

Shi Xuanling thought about it, and burst out laughing, Yue Wujiu also shook his head and smiled in the dark: "You are right to say he is a shark, but he is not stupid, you have to be careful of his fangs, don't be bitten by him suddenly One bite, you know, in this sea, sharks can kill people."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the little shark can't bite me, I will adapt accordingly, and I can see that he really wants to save his close relative, as long as I help him, he can do it for me too For one thing, it's fair."

At this point, Yue Wujiu couldn't hold back, and asked in the dark: "Xuan Ling, can you tell me what exactly do you want Zhong Lisheng to do? That favor...can I not help you?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just... related to my hometown."

Now that she has settled down in Lanxin Small Courtyard, Shi Xuanling didn't want to hide it any more, so she told her discovery in the courtyard. At the end, she said with great anticipation: "If you can find With the clues of the Butterfly Clan, it would be great to return to Qingli Mountain and see my people again."

Yue Wujiu listened quietly on the other side of the screen, and was delighted by Shi Xuanling's discovery. He only thought that after she had lived there for a few days, he accidentally saw the flowering flowers in the flower garden. would not have thought of—

Shi Xuanling's life-threatening "gamble" before was not for him, but for that beautiful flower.

Now in this world, the one thing that Yue Wujiu firmly believes in is Shi Xuanling's... infatuation with him.

Now the young man was lying on the bed, and he began to look forward to it: "I hope that there will be answers you want to know on the Chongming Pagoda. In the future, I will accompany you back to the Qingli Mountain. I also want to go to the place where you grew up to have a look. Didn't you also say...your people will definitely like me?"

After repeating what Shi Xuanling said before, Yue Wujiu's ears couldn't help turning red. If he accompanied her back to Qingli Mountain, would he be a "husband"?The husband accompanied his wife back to her "natal home"?
Thinking of these few words, thinking of the relationship between them, his face became hot, and warmth flowed in his heart, with indescribable joy.

But for a long time, there was no response from the other side of the screen, Yue Wugui stood up curiously, and sure enough, the girl fell asleep on the bed unconsciously.

It turned out that he had been talking to himself, Yue Wugui laughed dumbfoundedly, shook his head, bent down, but his movements became more gentle, after he tucked her quilt up, he reached out and stroked her long black hair, eyes full of eyes tenderness.

After doing all this, Yue Wujiu didn't rush back to the bed, but walked lightly to the closet, took advantage of the moonlight, and took out the bottom pair of shoes——

Yes, the pair embroidered with jacaranda flowers, which he personally gave to Shi Xuanling... "Shoes of Love".

The shoes were worn out by the reef during the three days of catching the sea centipede. Shi Xuanling was afraid that he would be sad, so she deliberately pretended to be understated, and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I brought several pairs of shoes, and I will find another pair." Just come out and wear the new shoes, as long as we win the bet and can live in this Lanxin courtyard smoothly."

But how could it be "not tight"?Can other shoes compare with this pair of shoes?
He didn't say these words, for fear of aggravating the sadness and regret in the girl's heart, he just washed the shoes in private, and carried them to Yuzhuju next door, and found Ji Zhiyue who was busy.

This time, because of Wen Yanru's great help, Ji Zhiyue decided to modify his long spear as a thank you gift. Although he hadn't got the long spear yet, Ji Zhiyue had already started to think about it.

She locked herself in the room for many days, writing and drawing on the blueprints, and making various designs. When the plan was finalized, she took the blueprints to Wen Yanru and persuaded him to let her modify his spear.

Unexpectedly, Shizi Yue came to the door with a pair of shoes in his arms.

"Can you teach me embroidery? I want to mend these shoes and re-embroider the jacaranda flowers that have been worn off."

Of course Ji Zhiyue can embroider. She is very good at any manual work. She has made countless gadgets since she was a child, and it is no problem to mend a pair of shoes.

But Yue Wujiu refused to let her do it no matter what, and insisted on doing the embroidery himself.

"This pair of shoes is very important to me and Xuan Ling. I don't want to give someone else's hand. I just want to mend it with my own hands. I also want to hide it from Xuan Ling. I will give her a 'surprise' when it is done." '."

This really surprised Ji Zhiyue, she had never seen a young man who embroidered, and it was Yue Wujiu who once sat high on the clouds and was not stained with dust.

But Shizi not only has patience and perseverance, but also has amazing talent, according to his own words——

I'm a quick learner, really, now in Lanxin's small courtyard, cleaning the courtyard, doing laundry and cooking, I've already done it all!
What a son of Yue, he can carry a gun and ride a horse, pinch a needle to embroider, win the first prize in the palace examination, and cook in a small courtyard.

Really capable of going up and down, bending and stretching, with such a broad mind and such a pattern, he is worthy of being the... son of his grandfather's favorite student.

Ji Zhiyue sincerely admired him, Chaoyue Wujiu gave a thumbs up.

In this way, a young man who had never done needlework picked up an embroidery needle for the first time and began to mend the "shoes of love" between himself and his fiancée.

Because Shi Xuanling had to hide it from Shi Xuanling, Yue Wugui could only take out the shoe and mend it late at night, after the girl was asleep.

But fortunately, he was quick to start, lighting a weak candle, and embroidering night after night, the shoe was almost repaired, only the last few petals were missing.

The night wind was blowing, and he tapped on the window sill lightly. After Yue Wugui carefully dropped the needle, he turned his head and looked at the sleeping girl behind him, with a faint smile in his eyes.

When Xuan Ling came back from Yuncheng this time, he would be able to personally deliver the shoes to her, and watch her look happy.

-

In the early morning, the mist is lingering, and the morning sun rises slowly from the sea. When you look up, you can see a piece of sparkling light, and the sky is as clear as water, so blue that it is translucent and refreshing.

The sea breeze blows over Yunzhou Island, and a new day full of unknowns begins.

The carriage drove all the way into Yuncheng, Shi Xuanling couldn't help stretching out his hand, and with the crisp sound of the bell, he quietly opened the curtain and looked around curiously.

Compared with the barren and miserable mining area, Yuncheng is much more bustling and bustling. The long street is bustling with traffic, echoing with the cries of vendors, children chasing after each other, and everywhere is full of human fireworks.

Shi Xuanling was amazed repeatedly, but Zhong Lisheng, who was sitting opposite her, was not interested. He just folded his arms, leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

"Yuncheng is really lively. I really didn't expect such a bustling small city to be hidden on the island. Today is an eye-opener for me."

Hearing Shi Xuanling's words, Zhong Lisheng raised his eyelids, and finally seized the opportunity to "revenge", the young man sneered without hesitation: "You bumpkin from the imperial city is really rare, our Yunzhou Island is so big, and you can't wait to see me." There are some magical things that you can't imagine!"

The arrogant little shark appeared again, Shi Xuanling glanced at it, and didn't care. He continued to lift the curtain of the car, watching the various scenes in the city with interest.

The carriage stopped and went, facing the bright sun, passed through many streets and alleys, and after driving for an unknown amount of time, it finally stopped in front of a mansion in the depths of Yuncheng——

Qinglin Court.

This is the residence of Mrs. Wan, Zhong Lisheng's mother.

The purple-clothed boy opened his eyes, and his expression was inexplicably nervous. When he got out of the car, he specifically warned Shi Xuanling: "Go in later, don't talk nonsense, my close relative has a bit weird temperament, that's right, how should I put it... You have a bad temper, be smart, but don't run into her."

"Don't worry, I've seen your weird little shark before. What big sharks do you have in Zhongli's house that I can't handle?"

"My god, if my master is a shark, I will bite you to death first!"

As Zhong Lisheng spoke, he bared his teeth at Shi Xuanling, and the little purple shark on his shoulder bared his big white teeth at the same time. It was extremely funny. Shi Xuanling couldn't hold back for a while, and when he was laughing out loud, Zhong Lisheng slapped her hand hard. pinch--

"Shh, don't make a sound! My mother hates other people making noise and laughing at her place, and she doesn't obey the rules!"

"Ah, the relative you want me to save... is your mother?"

"Otherwise, who else is worthy of my young master's trouble, Bara, to save him no matter the cost?"

"No wonder you said that she has a weird temperament and a bad temper. It turns out that she is your own mother. As expected, every mother has a son. Then your father is even weirder..."

"Shut up! I really want to poison you!"

The two whispered all the way, and led by several white-clothed maids, they walked through long corridors and finally arrived at a quiet and elegant hall.

Shi Xuanling's hand was almost pinched green, she followed Zhong Lisheng into the hall, and the door behind her was closed by the maids.

"Mom, I'm here to bring you medicine."

Zhong Lisheng changed his usual arrogance, and stood respectfully in the middle of the hall, but Shi Xuanling saw no one left or right, couldn't help but tugged on Zhong Lisheng's sleeves, and whispered: "It's empty here, how can anyone be there?"

"Are you blind? You're behind the curtain!" Zhong Lisheng tried his best to lower his voice, almost gnashing his teeth to let out the word. He really regretted that he didn't bring a bottle of dumb medicine when he came.

Shi Xuanling looked up, and sure enough, there was indeed a person sitting on the first seat on the high steps, but only a hazy figure could be seen through a curtain.

When her own son came, he didn't show his face, and he was really weird, Shi Xuanling sighed secretly in his heart.

Zhong Lisheng next to her seemed to be used to it, just took out the small medicine bottle in his arms, and raised it above his head reverently, with the appearance of "worshiping and paying tribute".

"Mother, there are a total of ten pills this time. Take one pill in a month, and you can use it until next year. Your poison will not flare up again for the time being."

Ten sea centipedes can be made into one pill, and one pill can suppress toxins for a month. In the past few years, Zhong Lisheng has spent every month trying his best to catch ten sea centipedes, and after making pills, he sent them to the city. Come, give it to your own mother, Mrs. Wan, to suppress the toxin and relieve the pain for her.

The sea centipede is extremely poisonous, and it happens to be able to fight poison with poison, and Mrs. Wan's strange poison has long been sought out by famous doctors, but no one can cure it.

In the early years, Mrs. Wan was able to use her internal force to press down, but it didn't show a single bit, and she gradually couldn't press it down later. When the strange poison broke out, she was in great pain. After Zhong Lisheng knew about it, she tried many methods, only to find that she could use sea centipede to make a pill , to suppress maternal toxic episodes.

Although the root cannot be broken, it is good to relieve some pain every month.

In the past few years, he delivered medicine to his mother every month, rain or shine, and even Yunzhou Island was attacked by Chinu people. During the three months when the war was the most intense, he fought side by side with Wen Yanru to protect the island, and at the same time desperately chased her away. After making a few pills, he sent his men to venture out and send them into the city.

But even so, when he got off the battlefield and dragged his bloody body back, he couldn't ask for a hug from his mother.

The mother doesn't care about his life or death, and doesn't care whether someone will deliver medicine to her in all weathers after he dies. To be precise, she doesn't even care about her own life, so how can she give a little bit of love to that so-called "son"? "Woolen cloth?

But the more he couldn't get it, the more he wanted it. Zhong Lisheng's happiest moment every month was the day when he came to the city to deliver medicine to his mother.

Even through a curtain, he rarely saw his mother showing up, but he was satisfied to hear her voice.

In this vast world, he is not a child without a mother, it's just that his mother has a weird temperament, it's definitely not... that he doesn't love him.

In the secluded hall, with candles flickering, Shi Xuanling stood there, listening to Zhong Lisheng's words of offering medicine, he suddenly realized, and understood it belatedly.

It turned out that Zhong Lisheng's seemingly absurd "gamble" was actually to collect sea centipedes and detoxify his mother with medicines!

The things he asked her on purpose, what school and school she came from, how could she have the ability to be invulnerable to all poisons, now that I think about it, it was not because he wanted to trick her into being an "old man", but also because he wanted to find someone who could detoxify his mother. Doctor!
I really can't see that this guy is still filial and has good intentions!
Shi Xuanling couldn't help turning her head, peeking at the purple-clothed boy beside her, sighing secretly, it really is a family, the little shark really loves the big shark.

"Mother, besides bringing medicine over here this time, I also brought you a... miraculous doctor."

　Ding, the map of Yuncheng is open, and a very important woman in Little Lingdang's life is about to appear, see you tomorrow~
