Chapter 043
The young man was leaning on the inside of the bamboo cage, raising his head calmly. The wind was blowing on his clothes, and the moon was passing through the thin clouds, illuminating half of his body with brilliance and half with darkness.
"This evildoer must be so powerful that you, New Moon Seagod, have to come out. Please ask Seagod to subdue him quickly!"
Xin Yue turned his attention to the boy with a boyish-looking face, and his cherry-blossom-colored lips pursed into an almost invisible arc, as light as a cloud of smoke.
She then opened her mouth and said: "Natsukawa Iori, private person."
Japanese is as ethereal as the sound of nature - Iori Natsukawa, I remember you.
The young man's eyes darkened, and his thin lips revealed a rare clarity, and he said in Japanese: "They want to kill me, pretend to be the God of the Sea and save me from suffering."
Xin Yue glanced at the array of candlestick offerings on the Eight Immortals table, as well as the young man who was forcibly locked in a cage, and the words these people kept saying about subduing evildoers. She suddenly understood something. She raised the corner of her mouth and said to the young man: " Swimming?"
The young man's brown eyes were filled with more and more intensity. He raised his eyelashes and smiled sideways: "What's going on?"
"あの, come privately."
After Xin Yue said this, he turned around, with a look of compassion from the gods, and his voice was empty and pure: "All living beings are equal, I just communicated with this evildoer, and I know that he has a heart of repentance, so I will not treat him With cramps and bones peeled off, I will take this evildoer to the sea to purify him and never let him leave the sea. What do you think?"
"Poseidon enlightens."
Everyone knelt down and shouted.
Xin Yue said to these superstitious little people: "Then, open the cage."
How dare you disobey the goddess's order? The bamboo cage was opened immediately.
Xin Yue walked barefoot on the beach, and the fine sand blew over her snow-white ankles with the wind. Under the hazy moonlight, she seemed to be enveloped in a layer of fairy spirit. The long, semi-wet black hair on her forehead was gently lifted by the wind, like Small black butterflies spread their wings in groups and flew slowly into the night.
She stood still, bent slightly, and stretched out a hand towards the boy in the bamboo cage.
The slender hands were still wet with the sea water that had not been dried, like the white snowflakes thawing at the beginning of spring.
Probably because she successfully escaped and reached the shore today, and met a crowd of people bowing their heads to pay respects, Xin Yue was in an unexpectedly good mood. She slightly curled her lips, with a smile in her eyes. She tilted her head slightly and bent down to face the young man sitting there. Said: "Let the God of the Sea save you, you evildoer."
With a hint of joking.
The peach color is red and light, the green smoke is thin and the wind is warm. Looking at it makes people think of spring for no reason.
The young man was startled, then stretched out his hand to hold Xin Yue's slightly cold hand, gently, with the kind of caution as if he couldn't bear to touch the beautiful bubbles.
He also smiled and said: "May the sea god save you."
Under the moonlight, two elegant and elegant people walked to the seaside. The light and shadow were flowing in the sea water. A gust of wind blew off a jade tree.
In an instant, a distant and light fragrance spread out.
Jumping into the sea, Natsukawa Iori echoed the words that Xin Yue answered to him in Japanese that others could not understand -
"Can you swim?" she asked.
"Why not?" He arched his eyebrows.
"Then, come with me."
So he went. Just like that, he followed her far, far away.
After swimming for a while, the sky was already slightly bright and there was a thin morning light.
The two of them broke the water and came out. Xin Yue grabbed his chest and coughed lightly: "I'm about to die."
Her face was a little red. Natsukawa Iori half-supported her and walked ashore, looking at her funny: "Isn't he the sea god? Why can't I bear it when it's so far away?"
Xin Yue glanced at him, cleared his throat and said seriously: "I order you in the name of Poseidon to shut your mouth."
Natsukawa Iori smiled, half-crouched down, and said, "Come on, I'll carry you."
Xin Yue was startled, and suddenly remembered that day on the isolated island, someone looked back and smiled, with his arms forming a warm arc behind his back: "Madam, come up."
Seeing that there was no movement behind him for a long time, Natsukawa Iori stood up straight, and saw Xin Yue clenching his fists calmly, his pointed chin pulled down, his eyebrow-length hair blocking his lower eyes, and his long and moist eyes.
The hair swam randomly and feebly in the wind.
She stood like a snowy cherry blossom, fragile, white, and exceptionally quiet.
Out of an instinct, Natsukawa Iori put his hand on the girl's shoulder and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Xin Yue came back to his senses, moved away subconsciously, and shook his head: "I've been swimming for a long time, and my head is just a little dizzy. It's okay."
Crossing the plank road by the sea, the two of them walked towards the small fishing village inside.
This is a slightly backward village. People get up early and breathe a simple farm atmosphere. Some people walk to the seaside, and some people get on small boats. They don’t know whether they are going fishing or carrying a boat.
guest.
"Brothers and sisters, did you come down from the sky?"
After Xin Yue and Xia Chuan approached the village, a soft child's voice sounded not far away.
The two people in white shirts trailing to the floor walked together. Their outstanding appearance and temperament caught the eye like a golden boy and a beautiful girl.
Xia Chuan lowered his head and smiled: "Brother and sister, they are two drowned ghosts."
The little girl who spoke looked at Xia Chuan's handsome and gentle face, blushed, and muttered: "How can there be such a good-looking water ghost?"
"Minmin, I want you to go dry the fish and what are you doing there?" There was a squeaking sound, the wooden door opened, and a middle-aged woman with her head wrapped in a cloth came out.
"Auntie..."
Before Minmin finished speaking, Xia Chuan took a step forward and showed a harmless smile to the woman: "Hello, eldest sister, my friend is a little weak and injured. Can I stay with you for a few days?
Woolen cloth?"
The woman looked at the boy and girl, who seemed to be a match made in heaven, and chuckled: "What kind of friend? I see..." The woman deliberately did not say anything, her eyes full of ambiguity.
Xia Chuan cleared his throat and changed the topic: "I wonder if I can stay in this precious place for a few days?"
The woman looked at their clothes and found that they were not necessarily high-end. Her face calmed down and she still smiled and said: "This place is so poor and remote that it is really not suitable for two gentlemen and young ladies to live here."
I declined politely.
"We won't cause trouble, and we won't be squeamish. When I feel better, I can help you fish for half a year. I will never break my promise. How about that?"
Xin Yue's voice was a little hoarse, and he held on to the tree to endure the pain when the wound burst again.
The woman still smiled: "Girl, look, our place is so small..."
"Minmin, right?" Xia Chuan suddenly bent down and touched the little girl's head, "My brother should have given something nicer to the beautiful Minmin when we first met, but my brother accidentally fell into the sea when he and his father were on a boat.
