Hanshang was so hot that he sat on the horse and fanned himself with a folding fan.
"In less than two days, we can reach the Zanglan Sea. I know there is a ferry there to get out to the sea."
Xie Zhe looked at him for a long time. He wanted to say something, but hesitated and hesitated, and finally said:
"Isn't it inappropriate that you took someone's treasure and slapped it all the way?"
"What's inappropriate? Isn't the fan just for cooling off? Don't take away the purpose of the utensil."
Xie Zhe was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he drove his horse faster and rode alongside Han Zhang. He reached out and snatched the fan from Han Zhang's hand. Han Zhang was stunned for a moment and wanted to complain, but finally swallowed it back. The two girls behind him
Each of them was riding a horse. Seeing this scene, they looked at each other with helplessness.
This fan was given to them by Kong Lingbei's trustees, and there are only seven of them in the world. It is made from a mixture of Kong Lingbei's father's tail feathers, which was his last wish. Each peacock's tail feathers have hundreds of eyes.
Ban, each of the seven fans passed to Kong Lingbei has twenty-one "eyes", no more, no less. The workmanship of this fan is also very exquisite. It is not just a simple
The feathers are made by gluing each other together, and each tiny down is recombed, thinned, and softened, making it as thin as paper and as light as paper. When this fan is unfolded, it
Like a shrunken peacock tail fan, full of aura; after folding the fan, its upper, middle and lower rows of eye spots of different sizes will completely overlap without any flaws.
The most important thing is that as long as you have this fan in your hand, you can gain the respect of almost all the harpies in the South, as well as the harpies who fled from the South a thousand years ago, and their descendants. With this status symbol,
Being able to get a lot of conveniences among the harpies will make even ordinary harpies awe-stricken. Such a special fan is indeed not that of Kong Lingbei.
Things that he would hand over easily. He claimed that he still had more than half of them in his hand, and Xie Zhe and the others had to return them to him after they used them. However, he personally gave one of them to Gui Hai. He said this,
Both Xie Zhe and Han Zhang vaguely remembered that they had seen such a folding fan around Gui Hai. But that was a long time ago, and their memories were thin.
It is said that the fan has other wonderful uses, but Kong Lingbei didn't say it clearly, which seemed to be showing a kind of arrogance, even though it was unnecessary. For Han Shang now, the biggest function is to cool down the fan.
"Brother, is the place where you practice martial arts and magic with the master... always so hot?"
"No way." Han Chang shook his head, "I remember it wasn't this hot before. But it's true that I haven't been here for a long time."
"The closer you get to the south, the hotter it is, of course. Otherwise, why would the wild geese go south to spend the winter?" Jiao Mo said from behind them, "The Zanglan Sea is probably the hottest place touched by this land. If we continue to go south
Come on, summer in our southern country will be even hotter than now."
Wenying rode her horse, looked at her, and asked curiously: "Then you have lived in a place like this for so long, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
"Don't forget that I lived in the sea in the past. The sea water is very special. In summer, the sea is cooler than the ground, but in winter it is warmer than the ground. Especially swim deeper into the sea, to places where the sun does not shine.
, for human beings, it is extremely cold all year round. When Kannawu-kun and his companions came to our habitat, they had to wear silk clothes specially made by the sharks. The silk clothes are my
They weave the sea currents from the bones of their loved ones, expressing the blessings of their loved ones and home. People wearing silk clothes can absorb air from the sea like fish gills, and can also fight against the water pressure of the deep sea." Question
Yingying said: "I heard that there is also a kind of pure white yarn called dragon yarn. It is invulnerable to water, fire and weapons like dragon scales. This is what my grandma told me when I was a child. Is it true?"
Wen Ying likes to hear these things. Such stories come from such a distant place, and her brother and parents never tell them. Only grandma can tell one or two interesting things. Grandma Fox has lived too long and has seen a lot.
Even things in the South have been seen and heard.
"It's true. It's just that not all of us can weave dragon yarn."
"It's amazing...isn't that silk dress beautiful?"
"There are all kinds of silk clothes, and there will always be something you like. If I have the opportunity to return to my hometown, I will ask for one for you. I'm afraid I won't be able to weave anymore."
"Really? This is such a good thing. Thank you so much!"
"Ask Hotaru!"
Han Zhang seemed to feel that it was a little impolite, so he turned around and scolded her sternly, and Wenying immediately became angry and stopped talking.
"Don't be like this, it's not a big deal." Jiao Mo said with a smile, "I can get one for each of you. But... just don't have too much hope. I think I won't be able to see them. Ten
When I left many years ago, our family had traveled further south, and all the islands were deserted
.There should be other families staying here, right? We rarely go back to the north because... humans have indeed become too numerous. Although there are good and evil among humans, once the number of a group
When it gets bigger, the small part that was originally insignificant will become too much, which is very dangerous for us."
"Grandma said that six or seven hundred years ago, there were still humans on the coast who caught sharks. After that, only some people said they had seen them. Now almost all the sharks have disappeared, leaving only legends. Only the old fishermen on the seaside are still there.
I have no doubt about it.”
After asking Ying, Xie Che turned around and said to Jiao Mo: "I once heard Lord Mu Yue say that the sharks have a harmonious relationship with the residents of the southern country, but after the war of the gods, the barrier was broken, and they were separated from us.
Trade was frequent, and they realized the value of the sharks, so they caught large quantities of fish and transported them to the hinterland of the Central Plains. Are these things true? That’s why you moved south? "
"Well... there is such a history. But the most important reason for our migration south is that there is too little food. There are more and more humans, and the nets are getting bigger and farther, and they are cast farther and farther. In the past, fishermen would let go
For small prey, only the big ones will be caught, and the adult seafood will be caught next year. But now..."
Hanshang said: "Seafood can now be seen in the palace because people have learned to use ice to transport it. Nobles living inland can also eat delicious food from the sea, and the demand has increased. Even if they are brought inland for use
Breeding in sea water can’t keep up with consumption.”
"That's right. I can't fight for it, and I don't dare to rob it. I have no other choice but to fly away."
They all stopped talking, and the atmosphere became heavy for a while. Even the sun seemed not to be that hot anymore. Several people rode rented horses on the way to the next town. The sound of horse hooves clattered, and they occasionally
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, I saw three or two figures appearing in front of me, some of them carrying burdens, sweating profusely in such a hot day. They caught up with them and then passed them.
Xie Zhe thought of something and turned back to ask Jiao Mo: "By the way, after you, have there been any sharks like you who cut open the tail of a fish and walked onto the land? Have you seen or heard of it?
?”
"I have only been on land for a short ten years, and I have traveled everywhere, but I have never seen any of my own people. If we had seen each other, even if we had never seen each other in the sea, we would all be able to recognize each other's identity at a glance. Moreover,
Ever since Kanna-kun destroyed the Dragon Balls in the Crystal Palace, this is the only way.
How many people try. Even if we come to land, we only have a few decades of life left. It is indeed difficult to reach the sky if we want to see anyone. But I think...since it has been so long, maybe,
There really are people of this race before and after me, and their descendants will continue to multiply to this day..."
"It sounds beautiful." Wenying suddenly said.
"Is it beautiful?" Jiao Mo didn't quite understand, "Everything is very natural."
"I can't put it into words, I just feel... there's something poetic about it."
"Pfft." Han Chang in front laughed, "I didn't expect you to understand poetry."
Wenying said unconvinced: "I just understand! There is obviously not much difference between you and me, but we understand a lot!"
"Okay, okay, you understand, you understand everything."
His words didn't sound like he was convinced at all, but rather like an adult trying to accommodate a child. Of course Wenying didn't accept this trick and angrily asked for an explanation. On this hot and boring road, there was a burst of laughter.
Hanshang said that the Zanglan Sea is not a sea, but a place. Next, they are at least seven or eight hundred miles away from their destination, and because they cannot ride horses all the time, even if they are just rushing, they will still have to go
For ten days, the weather only got hotter and hotter, but they had no choice. Before dinner, they arrived at the target town. This town was called Yunyangpo, and the terrain was sloping.
Sloping, facing the sun from the north. It is said that the soil there is purple in color and can support weeds. Even if they are bald, they can be revived by a gust of wind and rain. It is said that during the famine years, the villagers relied on a special kind of grass on this land.
Amaranth survived and developed into the town it is today. The wild vegetables produced here can be sent to the emperor's table after being screened at all levels.
They stopped at a restaurant in the town and got their wish and ate a variety of local wild vegetables. Perhaps their expectations were too high. They didn't think they were as delicious as the rumors said, but they were indeed tastier than ordinary wild vegetables. They didn't need too much seasoning.
Just wash it with cold water, blanch it with hot water, put it on a plate, and put it in your mouth. It makes people salivate, as if they are standing in the spring wilderness, with the grass-scented breeze blowing towards them, and the heat of summer
Totally missing.
We still asked for two rooms to stay in the hotel. After Han Sheng washed up and just sat on the bed, Xie Zhe sat next to him.
"When I was on my way in the afternoon, I saw you were in a bad mood."
"Where is it? Weren't we talking and laughing along the way?"
"You are indeed not doing well. You are more silent than before."
"It means I'm more stable."
"Actually...you don't really want to go back to Zanglanhai, do you?"
"...you know."
"Because it is a very heavy place for you."
"Although there have been happy days for a long time, that incident - and that he never saw me again, this incident made me...forget it, I said that if you are thinking about me here, you might as well put this thought
If you put it on a girl, you will be sure to have many descendants."
"...We still have a great responsibility in the world."
"Okay, okay, I know. Why don't you actually have someone in your heart?"
"I dare not. But...I can't help but sigh."
"What are you feeling?"
"Some time ago, we were like this, walking with two smart women."
"Stop thinking about those things. At least not now."
