Chapter 291: The Human Heart Is Sinister
Wei Youqing and Hua Xijian and their entourage walked all the way to Pearl Island, and under the shade of the tall pine and cypress, the holy temple of white jade was in front of them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wei Youqing ordered the boat to sail slowly, and arrived at night to go to the island one after another. He brought fifty people with Wei Rong on this trip, fifty people with Mi Li'er, and a large number of baggage supplies. This was a different time, he didn't know how long he was going to stay here this time, and it was impossible for people to stay on the ship for a while. He also didn't want to be seen how many people he had brought.
The sky is beautiful, there is no moon tonight, the dark clouds are low in the air, and the sea is dark and pressing. The silver sand outside the temple was gray, and a team of men and horses carried the baggage, and a hundred people entered the temple one after another.
The temple was as gray as ever, and when Nuhan got the notice, he hurriedly took people to arrange a place for the newcomers to live, and vacated the house to hold a large amount of grain and grass brought by Wei Youqing.
"Why do you want to bring food? The island raised you. ”
Nu Han watched unhappily as the bags of grain and vegetables were carried into the warehouse, and couldn't help but complain to Wei Youqing.
Wei Youqing said with a smile: "Uncle Nu Han, this is not for eating, but for tasting, everyone feels good after tasting it, so they want to grow it themselves." Otherwise, we will have to stay here for a long time, where will we have enough to eat these things? ”
Nuhan was pleasantly surprised: "The holy woman is coming back to live?" ”
Wei Youqing grinned and grimaced at Nu Han: "Listen to what Uncle Nu Han means, only the saint is welcome, not her man?" ”
The smile on Nuhan's face became even stronger, he happily picked up Wei Youqing, put him on the high stone platform next to him, beat him, and said with a smile: "You kid, finally no longer awkward?" Do you know how many people want to be saints and men? ”
Wei Youqing is in private, this is the first time that she naturally admits that she is a "saint's man".
Wei Youqing smiled: "Uncle Nu Han, am I the only one who is awkward?" Xijian told me that her mother told her that her father was Uncle Nuhan. ”
The slave was silent, and he silently scattered the safflower kernels of the crushed medicine rats around the corner of the warehouse.
"There's so much food here, I'm afraid I'm going to get rats."
"Uncle Nuhan, I want to ...... for a while"
Nu Han waved his hand to stop Wei Youqing from continuing, "Youqing, I know that the life of the Han people outside the island is much better than our fish people, but the fish people are fish people, why do you have to be fish people to learn from Han people, you have to have a father and a mother?" I and the other men of the Great Holy Maiden are all the fathers of the Holy Maiden, and we will all be faithful to the Holy Maiden. ”
Wei Youqing bit his lip, Nu Han's words made him a little awkward, but it seemed to be very reasonable, he stopped arguing, and said with a smile: "Uncle Nu Han also knows that the life of the Han people is better than that of the fish people?" Then I'm right to bring these seeds, not only this, but there are a lot of cattle and sheep on the ship, and the cattle are working, and the sheep can be raised so that they can give birth to lambs, so that there will be meat to eat, and the seeds can be used to grow food and vegetables, and I think the temple also makes snacks, and there should be food on the island, but there is less of it, and it can only be eaten by the temple. ”
Nuhan nodded and said, "It's easy to say, most of those who came here from the north are women and children, and it is just right to farm and raise sheep, and also find a way for them to live." ”
"Are all the men of the tribe left in the north?"
Nuhan nodded, "Yes, they like the days in the north where they are in charge. ”
Wei Youqing grinned and said, "So, not all fishmen like the fishman life you said Uncle Nuhan!" ”
Nuhan's eyes flashed under the dim torches, he walked up to Wei Youqing, and said seriously: "Youqing, the Great Holy Maiden has a deep affection for me, as long as I am alive, I can't look at the Pearl Island and stop worshipping the Holy Maiden." ”
Tears flashed in Nuhan's eyes, and his handsome face twitched.
Wei Youqing had an ominous feeling in his heart, and he asked tentatively: "Uncle Nu Han, were you next to you when the Great Holy Maiden had an accident?" ”
Nuhan was silent, and the two just looked at each other.
There was a "whine" sound outside, like a ghost whimpering. Wei Youqing remembered at this time that this warehouse was the sacrificial ground last year, and the place where he sat was the altar.
The Great Sage, the mother of the flowers, died naked outside the window of this altar.
"Isn't this a sacrificial ground?"
Nu Han was still silent, he wanted to reach out and hug Wei Youqing down, but Wei Youqing dodged away.
"In the future, there will be no need for a sacrificial field here, the temple is already cold, whether it is human sacrifice or animal sacrifice, there are too many resentful souls here."
Wei Youqing listened to Nu Han's casual explanation, "Oh", and grinned, "Yes, Uncle Nu Han is right, I also think this sacrificial field is weird and scary in the Cheng Temple." ”
Wei Youqing jumped down from the altar, patted the ash on his buttocks, and said, "Uncle Nuhan, I'm going to sleep, let's talk about planting crops tomorrow." ”
Nuhan nodded, silently lit the torch, and led Wei Youqing through the spiral staircase to the upper floor.
There are six floors in the temple, each floor seems to be three or four zhang high, the first and second floors are halls, and the hall on the second floor is both the original altar and the current warehouse. The house between Wei Youqing and Hua Xi is on the roof, and now, Mi Li'er and Wei Rong accompany the two of them to live on the sixth floor, Nuhan originally arranged for Ji Ashui to live on the sixth floor, but Ji Ashui felt that he should not live on the same floor with the holy woman, so he lived on the fourth floor with Nuhan. The hundred people brought lived on the fifth floor. On the third floor, the original stewards and servants of the temple lived.
Wei Youqing walked into the room, it was summer now, and the Pearl Island was even hotter, but the room on the top floor of the Chengsheng Temple was at a suitable temperature and very comfortable.
Hua Xijian has just finished bathing, and is sitting on the ground to eat a kind of melon fruit unique to this pearl island, and the milky white flesh exudes a strange fragrance. Seeing Wei Youqing coming in, he smiled and said, "Hurry up and go to the bath, your body is dirty and smelly." ”
Wei Youqing didn't move, he leaned on Hua Xijian, sniffed carefully, and said strangely: "Xijian, the smell on your body is gone." ”
Hua Xi pushed Wei Youqing away angrily, and glared at him angrily: "When did I have a smell on my body?" ”
Wei Youqing said with a straight face: "Unfortunately, you really had a smell on your body before, but the smell was very small, and ordinary people couldn't smell it." I grew up with a smart nose, and I can't be wrong. As soon as you leave the Pearl Island, the smell on your body is getting smaller and smaller. ”
Hua Xijian was so frightened that she threw aside the fruit in her hand, leaned on Wei Youqing in frustration, and said, "I forgot, I didn't like this temple before leaving, but I didn't expect that there were also sinister people outside." She muttered, and burst into tears, "Youqing, if it weren't for you, I really wanted to follow the sun god and leave to see my mother." ”
Wei Youqing couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Follow the sun god to heaven? How do you know that those immortals in heaven don't have sinister hearts? ”
