The Glass Maiden

Chapter 44 Floating Jade Island (3)

The two of them hid behind the flowers and trees, and did not dare to escape.

In fact, there is no need to do this with a guilty conscience, but somehow, when they think that they know the secret of this beauty in front of them, they dare not face it for no reason, for fear that she will find out.

Perhaps they are even more afraid of breaking the good deeds between her and the person in charge here for the second time. However, after watching for a long time, she seemed to be the only one here. I didn't know what to look at, and she was shocked.

"Let's go." Xuanji lowered her voice and made a withdrawal gesture, she was afraid of trouble.

Yu Sifeng shook his head: "Wait... to see what she is going to do." He wanted to collect some evidence to prevent the incident from happening when the two of them were bitten by her, which would be too ugly.

The beauty quietly looked at the colorful falling flowers, and suddenly sighed quietly. The voice was really softer than Yuxiao. It seemed to contain countless misery and grievances. It sounded so numb, and only hoped to do something for her. , So as to teach beautiful women to show their joy again.

"She seems to be singing..." Xuanji listened intently. Across the sea breeze, her clear and beautiful singing voice was almost like a deep-sea scorpion, and sometimes it fell heavily, and the sound of jewels scattered all over the ground.

"Look at Biqiao, Green Bamboo. There are gangsters, such as cutting, like learning, like grinding, rushing, and hesiting. There are gangsters, and you can’t go on."

The voice gradually weakened, and the beauty leaned on the tree, fiddled with Kazuki's noisy flowers, and made no more noise.

What is she singing? Xuanji looked at Yu Sifeng, knowing instinctively that he must have an answer.

Yu Sifeng whispered: "She sang a gentleman, as beautiful as a jade carving. She praised him for how mighty and magnificent, so she couldn't help thinking of him."

"Love song!" Xuanji was shocked, it turned out that this is the legendary love song! She heard it for the first time.

"It's so nice, if she only sang a few more words." She sighed.

Yu Sifeng groaned and said, "It sounds like she is sincere about that stewardship, but because she married the Eastern Island owner by mistake, so she couldn't help playing with fire. I just don’t know if the stewardess is sincere... …"

Xuan Ji said strangely: "Why, do you want to help them together?"

He shook his head: "How can it be that marriage is a lifetime thing, not trivial. Since she worshipped the heaven and earth with the lord of the Eastern Island that day, there is no room for turning back."

"Then what you just said..." What do you mean? Xuanji was confused by him.

"I mean..." He squinted his eyes and "showed" some pity "looks", "If the manager is sincere, at least it won't be wasteful of her lovesickness. In any case, she was played with her feelings. People are always pitiful."

It also makes sense. Xuanji nodded, the balance in her heart was unconsciously biased towards Madam Dongfang.

Mrs. Dongfang was silent for a while, then sang a few more words, nothing more than complimenting the gentleman and telling her thoughts. Xuanji only felt that her tune was sad and euphemistic, as if it were extreme joy, but underneath that layer of joy was deep sorrow. Is it so painful to fall in love with someone? She remembered the whispers that Niang and Linglong had accidentally heard last time. They were talking about Zhong Minyan. Mother asked Linglong if she really liked him. Linglong blushed, and after holding back for a long time, she said: "I saw him, are you happy?" Method. But if you don't see it, the taste is extremely uncomfortable. The mother nodded and said: If you like someone, you are suffering from gains and losses. The so-called love is half bitter and half sweet.

She has always been unable to understand what is half bitter and half sweet. She wants to be with someone and is very happy with him. How can it be bitter? If you feel painful, don't see him again. Why are you happy when you see him?

However, listening to the sad and euphemistic singing of Mrs. Dongfang at the moment, she was a little fascinated for a while, remembering the things of those little children, memories that seem to have become very distant, like silk, strands of thread, cut and cut constantly. Chaos. All kinds of yesterday, today resurfaced in front of her eyes, the so-called troubles of gains and losses, sweetness and bitterness entangled, she actually seemed to understand.

"Let's go, look no further."

Yu Sifeng suddenly pulled her sleeve. Xuanji suddenly regained consciousness, nodded quickly, and the two of them tiptoed around behind the flowers and trees, and left the lavish place far away.

Xuanji bowed her head and walked behind Yu Sifeng, but she didn't know what she was thinking, and neither of them spoke. After a while, she suddenly said softly: "Sifeng, are you still planning to explain things to Uncle Dongfang?"

Their original plan was to indirectly reveal the truth to Dongfang Qingqi, so that the disciples who had been wronged could come back, but now in this situation, who can bear to reveal it?

Yu Sifeng let out a long sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "They are all poor people, and they don't have the heart to hurt. That's all, when you have dinner at night, see who the steward is, and make plans."

Xuanji nodded, and the two of them circumnavigated around Fuyu Island. It took a lot of effort to find the original way, and they went back to their rooms.

Sure enough, during dinner time, Eastern Qingqi sent someone to invite them, and they came to an elegant octagonal pavilion again. Xuanji saw the blue yarn hanging from the pavilion, and the moon's "color" was dimly reflected on it. A beauty in the pavilion, like a fairy walking out of the painting, was so beautiful that I dare not "force" look at it.

The two of them saw her eyebrows, it really was the one who sang in the flower forest in the afternoon, but she changed into a moon-white "color" dress, and "slanted" a white jade hairpin on her hair bun, no powder. , In the watery moonlight, it looks more like peony "medicine" smoke, clear and beautiful and not cannibalizing fireworks.

Although it wasn't the first time I saw each other, Xuanji's heart was shaken by this beauty. It is estimated that Yu Sifeng could not let go, and both of them walked over quietly, not daring to speak aloud.

Dongfang Qingqi smiled and sat opposite the beauty, and waved to them: "Come here, I always said that the fruit is yellow in the past. Today, let you taste the Baihua Qing Dew from Fuyu Island."

The two of them walked past respectfully, Xuanji looked at Mrs. Dongfang a lot, and finally said: "Xuanji has seen the lady in charge."

The beauty faintly raised her eyebrows, the corners of her lips "showed" a smile, and said softly, "Is it the daughter of the head of Chu? It turned out that she has grown into such a slim and big girl. Is this the first time to come to Fuyu Island? Why not live more? Day, have fun."

Xuanji saw that even if she was "sexy" with Yanyue, she couldn't hide her carelessness, as if she had no interest in everything here, could it be that the big steward she liked was not here?

Poor Dongfang Qingqi, he wants to behave like nothing in front of the junior, sometimes persuading wine, sometimes picking up vegetables, only picking up some old anecdotes and telling them, Mrs. Dongfang never said one from beginning to end. Words, just bow your head and sip the wine slowly. Xuanji and Yu Sifeng couldn't bear to see him singing a one-man show alone, so they had to talk and laugh with him. The meal was extremely uncomfortable.

"You have learned a lot from the experience going down the mountain this time?" Dongfang Qingqi didn't know whether it was deliberate or unintentional. After drinking one cup after another, the rice was only half eaten, and the two jars of Baihua Qing Lu wine were already empty.

Xuanji and Yu Sifeng glanced at each other and didn't know what to do. Yu Sifeng had to smile and said: "Yes, originally the monsters under the sky had no intelligence and were foolish and stubborn. Now I know that after thousands of years of cultivation, the monsters can also be like people, with seven emotions and six desires, love, hate and grudges. The world is so big, I don't know There are so many things, it’s sighing."

Dongfang Qingqi had already drunk with dim eyes and nodded with a smile.

Xuanji continued: "But even if they become human, they are still monsters in nature, and they can smell monsters when they get close."

Dongfang Qingqi smiled and said, "Xiao Xuanji's skills are so deep that she can feel the monster now? Brother Chu is really not easy, really a tiger father without a dog girl!"

This has something to do with profound skill? Xuanji was taken aback, and didn't dare to brag about how powerful it was in this regard. She is very clear about her own weight, and she is still a thousand miles away from Shenhou. It is just that she has better luck, and she can alleviate the danger every time.

At this moment, Mrs. Dongfang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke indifferently: "Don't tell the truth, not all demons can make people smell demons. The demons with profound knowledge are no different from human beings. ."

When everyone saw her suddenly "inserting" such a sentence, they were all stunned. The lady said again: "When you are a demon, you are free, and you often dream of becoming immortals, and you can become immortals only if you have a human body. But after the cultivation, they found out It’s just a cultivating adult who gives birth to some sadness for no reason. The so-called immortal is basically the moon in the mirror."

Is it bad to be a human? Xuanji wanted to ask her why she said that. Unexpectedly, Oriental Qingqi put the wine glass aside and said: "Qingrong, you drank too much."

It turned out that Mrs. Dongfang's name was Qing Rong, and she was as elegant as she said.

She frowned slightly, and whispered: "You are drinking too much, sir."

The two of them looked at each other with an exquisite stone table separated from each other and did not speak, which made the two juniors dare not express themselves, and felt that this meal was the most painful meal ever.

For a long time, Dongfang Qingqi chuckled and waved his hand, about to say something to ease the scene. Qing Rong got up and said, "I'm tired, so go to rest first. You are welcome on the island, just as if you are at your own home. If you have any shortcomings, just ask Ouyang."

I don't know if this Ouyang manager is the gentleman in her mouth. Seeing that she suddenly remembered something, she turned around and ordered the disciple who was guarding outside the pavilion: "Call in charge of Ouyang, look at your master, don't make him happy and greedy for a while."

The disciple agreed to go down, and he did not bring anyone in a while. He was tall and slender, with black hair in white clothes, and a handsome face, but a blood-red scar on his face added countless hideousness.

Seeing that it was this person, Xuanji couldn't help feeling tight. I heard Mrs. Dongfang's instructions again: "Ouyang, have a drink with the master. You also pay attention, don't drink too much. It is rare for two children to come here today. Don't lose your interest."

Ouyang agreed, stretched his body forward, took the jug, and skillfully added another glass of wine to everyone.

Xuanji saw Madam Dongfang standing behind him, quietly looking at the scar on his face, her eyes flashed with love and pain. No one saw her except her.
