Chapter 493: Departure
There is no banquet in the world, no matter how good the gathering is, there is a time to part, early in the morning, the new Sun Changkong stood at the foot of the mountain, and the old man who still can't be named is making a final goodbye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This time, I don't know when you and I will see each other. I just hope that the next time you see me, you will be able to return to your original appearance. ”
Sun Changkong stretched out his palm, only to see that there was already a slender red mark in his palm, which was the lifeline that the old man had marked for him before going out. With the passage of time, the length of the lifeline will be shortened little by little, and when the lifeline is completely gone, Sun Changkong's lotus root incarnation will come to an end, and then his soul will be scattered, and there will be no room for maneuver. And the purpose of his trip this time was to rescue his true body from the hands of Emperor Sha. After all, he is just an obsession and resentment now, and it will not matter if he exists or not.
"The great grace of the predecessors, the sky will never be forgotten. If I'm lucky enough to awaken my consciousness from Emperor Sha, I'll definitely be back here. ”
The old man shook his head and said lightly: "Don't look for me, after you leave, I will leave here." He is destined to meet again!"
Sun Changkong's eyes suddenly flickered, and when he looked at the open space in front of him again, the mysterious old man had disappeared. At the foot of the mountain, it seemed that the echo of what the other party had just said was faintly heard, but the voice was getting farther and farther away, and it was getting more and more blurred.
Sun Changkong, who was on the road alone, walked at a gallop because he had nothing else to worry about, crossed two towns in one morning, and pulled down to a place called Koi Fort. It is located in the coastal area, and most of the people living here make a living from fishing, and as soon as they entered the city, a strong fishy smell made Sun Changkong quite a headache.
"Hey, where is this, how far is it from Cangbei Immortal Garden, I don't know what time it is today, is the salary transfer meeting over?"
With anxiety in his heart, Sun Changkong walked straight to the city, hoping to find a place to eat. However, most of the people in Jinli Fort can be self-sufficient, and even if outsiders enter by chance, most of them come to buy parallel goods, and they generally do not look for a sharp place. Sun Changkong circled the entire city three times, and he didn't see a hotel or tavern, not even a teahouse.
"I don't believe it, such a big place can still starve me to death!"
Just as Sun Changkong was about to continue looking for a place to stay, a group of people poured in from outside the city gate.
"Haha, I'll just say, my left eyelid has been jumping since I went to sea this time, no, I got a baby. God forbid, God forbid!"
The leader is a burly middle-aged man with dark skin. Looking at the salt stains on the soles of his feet and the sweat on his body, he should have come back from fishing. It's just that this time the situation is different from usual, not only him, but even the group of people behind him are all excited.
"It is said that there are sharks in the East China Sea, but I didn't expect us to catch a live one this time. If you give it to the royal family, the benefits are immeasurable!"
At this moment, a young and younger man laughed and made do with the leader's side, for fear of being pushed aside by others. At this time, a stunned boy came out from behind, and said loudly: "Hey, I said Wang Lao Wu, I don't usually see you and the third uncle so close!
The man named Wang Lao Wu suddenly stopped, pulled the kid out of the crowd, handed it to him, and said with angry eyes in his eyes: "Hmph, you stinky little ghost, adults talk, what's the matter with you! Haven't you always been unwilling to see this third child? Everyone knows that the king of Baizhen in the royal family likes to collect rare and exotic beasts in the world, and as long as the things are strange enough, the reward is great. I didn't see you before I went to sea, but I knew that you were waterlogged and you came, why, your father's old thing was embarrassed to show up by himself, so he let you come here to climb relatives and take his death? Let me tell you, this merman was found by our brothers who went to sea together. Even if there is a benefit, it will be divided equally among several of us!"
Seeing that these two people were about to fist and kick each other, the man who took the lead before immediately showed displeasure on his face, but then he restrained himself and said with a smile: "It's all a family, why bother with such a big anger." I caught this merman, I am in charge, and everyone will share the benefits together. ”
Stunned Qing glanced at the man in charge, and immediately changed his face, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's still the third uncle who is fair, I don't care about you, an old gangster." ”
As he spoke, the boy flashed into the alley next to him and disappeared.
"I said third brother, you don't know the temperament of those people in your family, they tend to be inflammatory, mercenary, and now that you have the ability, you will come to get close to you. One day when you have a great disaster, they will run away like a plague, and they will not care about family affection at all. Like a little kind of villain, you can't let them take advantage of their wishes!"
The man in the lead nodded, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still smiled lightly: "Hey, what a brother of a compatriot, where can you care so much." At least, when I first got married, if my second brother hadn't called me for help, I'm afraid our family would have starved and starved. Besides, he taught me to make a living in fishing, and if nothing else, even if I repay his teachings, I should give him a share of the money. ”
Wang Lao Wu sighed and said helplessly: "The ugly words are ahead, if you want to share, you will share your own share, it should belong to us, don't think about moving any of it!"
As he spoke, he was no longer as close as he had just been, and dragged the pair of straw sandals full of salt grains, and walked towards his own house by himself.
Although it is only a few short scenes of dialogue, in Sun Changkong's eyes, it is always so embarrassing.
"The spring breeze is always accompanied by pride, and they fly separately when disaster comes. Hehe, the so-called family friendship is so vulnerable!"
That is, after a little hesitation, the swarthy man who took the lead had already come to Sun Changkong's face, and before the latter came back to his senses, the man had already spoken first: "This little brother, I don't know what you are doing when you come to Jinli Castle?"
Sun Changkong was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Oh, I want to find a place to rest and eat, but unfortunately I haven't found it." I wonder if this uncle can give me some advice?"
As soon as the swarthy man heard Sun Changkong's words so pleasant, he said with a kind face: "Haha, I see that you are not from the neighborhood." We all make a living from fishing, and there are very few passers-by, and there are no places to settle down like you said. However, today I just came back from the sea, and I have gained a lot. If the little brother doesn't dislike it, he can go home and sit with me. I'll ask my wife to prepare a few side dishes for you, and we can have a drink. ”
Sun Changkong said: "How embarrassing is this, after all, uncle, you still don't know my origin, aren't you afraid that I have bad intentions?"
The swarthy man laughed, his thick eyebrows shocked, and then said, "Little brother, it's not that I look down on you. Look at your weak appearance, what misdeeds can you do. If I'm right, this should be your first time away from home!"
Sun Changkong also said in too much detail, so he had to nod ashamedly and said, "Uncle has good eyesight." ”
The swarthy man smiled again: "That's right, go, follow me." ”
Due to the special location of Jinli Fort, although it is the depth of winter, the climate here is still quite mild. In fact, it's not too cold or hot all year round, so people don't have to worry about insulation, so the houses here are mainly made of wood, which is cheap to build and easy to move. During the annual typhoon season, there are very big storms here. At that point, people move farther away from the coast and don't return until after the wind season.
The swarthy man's home can really be called clear at a glance, a wooden table, four stools, a bamboo bed, and a few pots and bowls for daily needs, and a few pieces of clothing that can no longer be distinguished from what color are hung on the wooden board on the inside of the bed, this is all his belongings.
However, there was something that caught Sun Changkong's attention, and on the right hand side of the door, there was a large wooden box with red paint. The bottom of the wooden box is constantly bubbling out with white bubbles, which looks very mysterious. However, Sun Changkong was not stupid, and from the words he heard just now, he could guess that the merman who was captured from the sea was in this wooden box.
Looking at Sun Changkong's expression, the swarthy man coughed lightly, and then said, "This little brother, I've known you for so long, I don't know your name yet." ”
Sun Changkong paused for a moment, and then said, "I'...... My name is Liansheng. ”
"Rensheng, such a strange name......"
The swarthy man looked at Sun Changkong, and seemed to realize that something was wrong, but he thought that he had called the person, so he should not have any doubts, so he smiled again: "Hehe, I am the third in line, and the children of the younger generation like to call me the third uncle." If you don't dislike it, you can call me that. ”
Sun Changkong grinned and said, "Third uncle!"
It's strange to say, the same title is not special in other people's mouths, but it is extremely satisfying to say it from Sun Changkong's mouth. The more the third uncle looked at Sun Changkong, the more he liked it, so he said loudly: "Show his mother, come and take a look, I'll bring someone back." ”
At this time, the door seat in the back room suddenly rose, and then a tall woman appeared in front of Sun Changkong's eyes.
Like the third uncle's, this woman's skin was also ancient paulownia, only slightly lighter than the former. Even though it was noon, there was still not enough light in the cabin. But this still did not hide the woman's eyes like a bright night. Even if you throw her into the inkstone, you can't hide those bright tricks.
It seems that this is the third uncle's wife, the third aunt.
