The peach demon, who almost drained Peng Xiao's blood, regained her vitality in an instant, but because of the treatment of the gods such as the King of Hell, her spiritual power was drained faster. She was lying on the peach branch like fifteen years ago, quietly waiting for the ghosts. She left, closed her eyes, and could feel the bright light of the stars, only she herself knew how weak she was now, and only she herself knew how much she wanted to restore her original shape and take root in the soil of Dushuo Mountain, drinking only the stretch of soil. The pure water that can only be enjoyed by the deep roots, and only she herself knows that she has to lie here and wait for the ghosts to look up and return to the dead silence of the past. Now she is finally fortunate. She doesn't know how good the pain incident is. It is the best helper for "persistence".
Ghosts, filed out in a row, have long since returned to their former calm. They only dared to glance at the location of the peach demon and leave, either in peace or panic.
When the call of the Chongming bird sounded again, she opened her eyes, and Du Shuoshan remained the same, so she left safely.
When he returned to the palace, he had been lying down, and he had not opened his eyes until the next morning. Yingyan called out to Tao Yao, and then she simply squeezed her paler cheeks with both hands, and swayed a few times before she opened her eyes in a daze, her drooping eyelids seemed unbearably dense The heavy load of her eyelashes, she watched Ying Yan's mouth opening and closing, making a humming sound, and he was dragged into the spacious carriage.
Mi Mi, the monarch of the state of Chu, came to visit with the princess and son, for the purpose of the marriage between the two countries. The son and the princess who had never seen the sea wanted to go out to play, and the king of Xu State readily agreed.
Xu State is near the sea, and its sailing career is considered to be a leader in the vassal states. The sails are pulled up, and the big ship is moving steadily in the Sishui River. The princesses and sons of the Chu State who are going to sea for the first time are extremely excited, and they watch all the way on the deck. The scenery of Xu country, chatting with the sons and nobles of Xu country, and having friends from afar, it is really different!
Tao Yao has been lying in her cabin to heal her wounds, failing to sense the most subtle, sensitive and impulsive and flammable emotional buds of the people on board. A side face, a smile, and a greeting are enough to make the youthful youth secretly feel affection. Then approached consciously, and got along with each other in a shy and detached way, which breeds the sudden loss and the sudden gain. Like, too many times it comes for no reason, just like radish and cabbage have their own love, to ask why you like it, you don't need to describe its taste in detail, because the point is not because of how they are, but your stomach likes it , that's all.
A group of people saw the sunset on the sea, and they looked forward to the bright moon at the beginning of the sea, floating on the boundless sea, and people seemed extraordinarily small. The wet sea breeze in April blows on everyone's face, which is comfortable and comfortable. When a bright moon finally rises from the east, the moonlight scatters on the slightly swaying sea, and the sparkling light seems to sway into people's hearts. They toasted and drank, laughed freely, and the sea was vast and the sky was unrestrained.
And Tao Yao was still lying in the cabin, motionless.
"Brother! Brother! What a big fish!" Mi Mi, the little princess of Chu country, shouted loudly, her voice was clear, showing the liveliness of a young girl.
A group of great white sharks are playing, jumping and jumping, you are chasing me, it is very lively.
"It's a great white shark." Ying Yan said.
"It's the first time I've seen such a big fish!" Mi Mi followed the great white shark, "How does it taste?"
Seeing that his younger sister only knew how to eat, Mi Sheng, the eldest son of Chu State, said with dissatisfaction, "I know how to eat!"
The usual Mi Mi would definitely make a face to her brother, but now she is embarrassed and blushed for a while, not knowing what to say.
Seeing her sister's appearance, Mi Sheng couldn't help laughing, rubbing her little head, and said with a smile, "Xiao Mi'er will be shy too!"
"If you want to know the taste, how will you know if you don't try it!" Ying Yan said, "Let's catch one!"
This is the young man, impulsive, resolute, dare not do anything, plus a little alcohol, that is to add fuel to the fire, to add frost to the snow, and it is out of control.
Sail, the boat moved forward at full speed, chasing after the group of great white sharks. Taking bows and arrows, Ying Yan, Ying Hui, and Mi Sheng fired in salvo towards the last great white shark as if they had agreed. The three arrows shot at the same time, attracting a burst of sparrows from the people on board. The smell of blood mixed with the fishy sea. The smell spread out, and the group of great white sharks leaped faster, as if they had lost their original rhythm.
Two sailors went down to sea with ropes and tied up the wounded great white shark, which was still struggling, but man always had a way of conquering everything that seemed stronger than him.
The people on the boat pulled the great white shark together, and Mi Mi also participated in it. Sweat flowed from her forehead. She felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment for the result of everyone's joint efforts. Her sweat came from more Inner ecstasy and pride. Effort, the process may be difficult, but because it brings more spiritual joy than others.
They set up a stove on the deck again and grilled the fish. The moonlight was still so sultry, the stars were still bright, and the addition of small wine and white sharks was also a different flavor. Later, in order to watch the sunrise at sea in the morning, they each entered the cabin to rest for a while.
Ying Yan was the last to enter the cabin, he touched Tao Yao's forehead, and then his own, only to be sure that Tao Yao's forehead was indeed cold, and then added a quilt to her, she was afraid of the cold, of course he Know.
The climate at sea is too unpredictable. One moment is calm, and the next moment is turbulent. The sailors smelled the danger of the waves before they came. It was the intuition of fighting in the waves for a long time. cowardice. The responsibility of the sailor is to fight against the sea and the sky, but it is by no means ignorant and courageous like a moth to a flame.
The waves hit wave after wave, the ship swayed violently from side to side, the sailors tacitly controlled the ship in their respective positions, the wind and rain also came to them, and the thunder and lightning were not to be outdone. He Yinghui began to scoop out the water in the cabin with the guards. Mi Mi, who was panicked in his brother's arms, had already calmed down. Holding back the tears in his eyes, he grabbed the cabin door and asked his brother to help.
She held onto the hatch tightly, her body tilted with the inclination of the ship, out of her control at all, only her brother's words before he left in her mind - must not let go. The bursts of thunder made her feel frightened, and the sudden flash of lightning made her frightened. She closed her eyes and only held onto it tightly. Rain soaked.
She watched everyone's hard work in the storm and the waves, so far away, as long as she called her brother, he would come back to her and become her support.
At that moment of lightning and thunder, the boat seemed to be lifted up by the waves, and then slammed out again, dropping rapidly, causing her hands and feet to lose their strength in an instant and slammed into the other end of the boat. "Brother" - Brother, he was drowned in the thunder before he could shout.
Ying Yan, who was closest to her, caught her, but as a result, both of them were thrown out, and his back slammed hard against the cabin, hurting hotly.
Mi Mi finally burst into tears, and the ship returned to calm. But the wind was still roaring and the waves were roaring outside, as if this ship was the only one in the whole world that was quiet.
Tao Yao was woken up by Ying Yan as early as he left, and he told her to keep all the people on the boat. When the tide was rising, she tasted the smell of sea water seeping into the cabin, and she also tasted the slightest sweetness. She actually wanted to tell him that if he was by her side, she might try her best to keep him. However, he wanted her to keep all the people, which was another chance for her to accumulate great virtue, but how much effort was needed for this opportunity!
At the moment when the tide is the most turbulent, she is ready to cast the spell, and when the tide is at its weakest, the casting ends. She persisted until the tide subsided and the wind and rain dissipated before she fell asleep again.
The boat was saved, but the boat sailed to the west, but never saw the city of Surabaya, not even a piece of land. It went on for a day and a night, but the fresh water had been used up, and the meat of the great white shark was still there. The taste is really bad, and everyone barely swallowed when they were hungry. When they were happy, they tasted great white shark meat, but now they can no longer taste the original taste.
At sunset, on the deck, Ying Yan and Ying Hui leaned against the rail and looked into the distance, silent. Hearing the sound, Mi Mi helped Mi Sheng, who had a fever, to come out. His fever kept coming back and forth, but even when he was sick, he remained calm.
"Why did you come out?" Ying Hui said, "I'm afraid it's going to burn up again if it's blown by the wind!"
The shared adversity made them quickly acquainted with each other.
"I've been lying down all day, come out to breathe." He said with a smile.
"Are you there?" Mi Mi asked.
Ying Yan said, "It's almost time." That kind of certainty, without any hesitation, also gave Mi Mi confidence.
A moment of silence, the same sunset, but a completely different state of mind.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from the west, scattered over the ship, and black spots fell in the sky. Ying Yan Ying Hui quickly helped Mi Mi Mi Sheng, and the black spots gradually enlarged, turning into roasted duck legs that were brown and tender. , a kettle.
The sailors and guards were overjoyed when they saw this, and some even began to bow down to the sky and muttered thanks, regardless of whether it was poisonous or not, they began to nibble on the duck legs and drink fresh water.
Mi Sheng laughed dumbly, and Mi Mi smiled and said, "It seems that we are all blessed people!"
Ying Yan strode into the cabin, pushed open the door, and saw Tao Yao lying on a man's body, kissing his neck, completely unaware of her arrival.
He didn't disturb them, closed the door, and backed out. The sailors exclaimed, "I saw the boat! Our Xu country's boat!" He waited for the good news for a whole day but failed to arouse the ripples in his heart, looking at the reassuring face on his calm face ship, wondering what to do.
From Mi Mi's point of view, his calmness at this time was only because he knew the answer in his heart. His calmness in times of crisis, and his calmness when everyone was tired and desperate, all made her look sideways.
inside the cabin.
Tao Yao licked Peng Xiao's wound and lay on Peng Xiao's body motionless. "Enough?" Peng Xiao teased, "This time I know how to control myself."
Seeing that she was still motionless, he rolled over and pressed her under him, and then left immediately, out of nowhere, a duck leg wrapped in lotus leaves took a bite.
"I find that lying on you is more comfortable than the bed." Tao Yao sat up and looked at him who was biting the duck leg, "Give me a taste."
Peng Xiao didn't look directly at her, "Can you taste it?" The rhetorical question was clearly sarcastic. Before seeing her speak, Yu Guang saw that she was staring intently at the duck leg in his hand, so he handed the duck leg over, but Tao Yao didn't pick it up, tilted his head and took a bite that he had never bitten.
"Sweet," Tao Yao said, "sweeter than sea water, lighter than your blood."
Peng Xiao was noncommittal, retracted the duck legs and nibbled again.
"Why are you here?" Tao Yao paused for a while, as if thinking of something, and immediately regained her energy, "Married to me?" She looked at Peng Xiao with burning eyes.
Peng Xiao finished eating the duck legs, threw the bones out of the window gracefully, and fell into the water with a plop. It was only because Tao Yao's hearing was too good that he took out a moon-white brocade embroidered with peach blossoms and wiped the corners of his mouth before glancing. He glanced at Tao Yao, "You drank my blood again just now, what should you do?"
"No matter how you calculate it, this marriage is a success!" Tao Yao said.
Peng Xiao smiled.
