Chapter 12 Mother and Son (Congratulations to Lonely and Ergouzi Happy Birthday)
Zhu Qigu did not answer Rong Niang's words. She seemed not to hear her and was not angry. She just kept playing with Rong Niang's storage bracelet.
Rong Niang said: "If my sister is short of money, just say that one hundred and eighty thousand silver is just a matter of care. Why bother holding my bracelet?"
Zhu Qigu played with it for a while and sighed: "The Duanmu family is indeed a master of making utensils and talismans. I can't break this bracelet."
Rong Niang said: "Why break it? Why don't you just open it for you?"
Zhu Qigu shook her head: "Forget it, I don't dare to break your restriction casually. When I was a child, Duanmu Qiurong was famous for her cleverness. When it comes to fighting, I'm really afraid that I can't beat you."
Rong Niang said with a smile: "Sister, you are too polite, why should you be so humble? If you don't know how to be cunning, how could you bring me to this sea silently?"
Zhu Qigu shook her head and said: "Ms. Rong, you just don't know the origin of the exquisite finger cots... If you really knew, you wouldn't dare to take them out in front of me. Zhao Zhiran actually gave you the exquisite finger cots as a gift.
, you are really big-hearted.”
Rong Niang was silent for a moment and asked, "Whose is this?"
Zhu Qigu said sadly: "My mother's queen."
Rong Niang was startled, and suddenly understood. Zhao Ran once told her that this object was suitable for female cultivators, and it was extremely powerful. If it was not a life and death battle, don't show it to others easily. Who would have thought that it was the object of Empress Dowager Xiaokang!
Queen Mother Xiaokang is not missing!
The Queen Mother is also a practitioner!
For a moment, Rong Niang was so upset that she wanted to die!
From then on, Rong Niang and Zhu Qigu didn't speak much. Except for a few necessary words occasionally, they were strangers to each other.
What Rong Niang could tell was that the boat was heading south, indeed towards the South China Sea, which made her even more worried.
The South China Sea is no better than the East China Sea. The East China Sea has been completely controlled by the inspection fleet, while the South China Sea has no friends at all. How should Zhao Ran save himself?
After the ship passed the sea of Yuanjue Island and traveled for another three days, it entered the range where it could communicate with Feifu of Halong Bay. Zhu Qigu missed Lan'er and asked Tong Baimei Feifu.
Tong Baimei replied: "Lan'er is fine here, except that she doesn't sleep well at night and often wakes up in her dreams looking for her mother."
Zhu Qigu was instantly heartbroken and hardened her heart: "Please, senior brother, send the child to Yunji Island."
Tong Baimei asked: "When the teacher asks about your whereabouts, how should I reply?"
Zhu Qigu said: "Just answer truthfully."
Tong Baimei sighed, knowing that Zhu Qigu was unwilling to tell her whereabouts, so she had no choice but to agree.
Zhang Xian carried the body of a giant eagle on his shoulders. Half of the wings of the giant eagle were drooped on the ground, dragging across the soil and leaving traces of marks.
Next to him was a bouncing young man, about seven or eight years old, holding a big slingshot in his hand and looking at the giant eagle on Zhang Xian's shoulder with excitement.
Tong Baimei greeted: "Chen'er, come here, dinner is ready."
The young man responded, and then said: "Grandpa Tong, wait a moment, I'll call my mother!" After saying that, he ran back to the way he came.
Zhang Xian came over, threw the giant eagle to the ground, and said: "This kid's slingshot is very accurate. He shot this dragon-feathered eagle first with his slingshot before it fell."
Tong Baimei nodded and praised: "As expected of the child of Jueqingjian, he is extremely talented. In two years, he may be able to enter the realm of Taoist priests. A ten-year-old Taoist priest, tsk tsk, I really haven't done much in the past few decades.
Saw it."
Zhang Xian smiled bitterly and said: "Jueqingjian is also very arrogant. He just left the child here with me, and she ran into the woods and didn't show up for a long time. I was worried by the side, and I worried for a long time in vain."
Lou Huanqiu turned over Long Lingying's body: "It's a pity that it hasn't opened its spiritual wisdom yet, and it has no elixir. However, this feather is an excellent item. I'm afraid it will have to be replaced by five or six hundred taels. My eyeballs are exploding.
One, fifty taels missing."
Zhang Xian said: "It's not easy. Without this child, I might not be able to hunt this thing and fly very high."
Lou Huanqiu looked at the direction in which they were coming back, and whispered: "How? Jueqingjian came to Halong with a child alone, there must be something wrong. Who is the father of the child? Why didn't he show up with them? Lao Zhang,
Just ask."
Zhang Xian whispered: "Don't say that, just take good care of her."
Lou Huanqiu asked: "Are you disgusted with people having children again? From my point of view, you two are both trained as masters, so you are quite right."
Zhang Xian said: "If she is willing to get married, I would be happy with not just one child, but three or five! I have also seen in the past two days that she has no intention of doing so at all. With her conditions, who can't protect this child?"
Big shot, let's not cause trouble. Shh... stop talking..."
Zhou Yumo walked out of the dense jungle and led the young man to the front of several people.
Tong Baimei asked: "Have you found it?"
Zhou Yumo nodded, poured out a handful of spiritual grass from the storage bag, and said: "I have obtained the frangipani and purple golden bass mushrooms. Please accept these extra plants from Senior Tong, Senior Brother Zhang, and Senior Brother Lou."
Several people waved their hands to refuse, and Zhang Xian pushed Lingcao back: "We are all from the Taoist sect. We are thousands of miles away from our homeland. It is not easy to be outside. We just need to help each other. How can we get your things easily."
Tong Baimei greeted: "Come, let's eat, and then go back to the village. We've been out for two days."
Zhou Yumo asked the young man to eat quickly. The young man took the wild boar trotter from Tong Baimei. He took a few big mouthfuls of it and his mouth was full of oil. While eating, he put the two wild stems that Zhou Yumo had stuffed into his mouth. He ate heartily.
Zhou Yumo pondered for a moment and said, "My child and I will leave tomorrow."
Zhang Xian couldn't help but feel disappointed: "How many more days will we stay?"
Zhou Yumo smiled: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, for not causing any trouble to you. Come back when you have time."
Lou Huanqiu said eagerly: "Come often! Baimei Port always welcomes Fellow Daoist Zhou."
Tong Baimei asked: "Where is Yumo planning to go?"
Zhou Yumo said: "Go back to the island."
Tong Baimei asked again: "Are you going back to your Jinghua Island?"
Zhou Yumo nodded: "I have prepared enough materials for this trip. I plan to go back and refine a furnace of pills to help the child lay a good foundation."
Tong Baimei said: "Maybe we can go together. Qi Gu flew a talisman to me today and asked me to take Lan'er back to Yunji Island. We can talk together on the way. Chen'er can also play with Lan'er...
."
The boy's mouth was full of food and he refused: "Who wants to play with that little one?"
Zhou Yumo understood that this was Tong Baimei's kind intention, so that she could take care of her mother and child on the sea. In the past, she was used to being alone, and she would have declined politely, but now that she was with her child, she agreed after a moment's hesitation.
Zhang Xian also wanted to go, but finally held back and felt instantly depressed.
We returned to Dazhai in Baimei Port that night and made preparations. The two ships left the port early the next day. Zhou Yumo's ship followed the ship in Baimei Port, and the mother and son boarded the big ship in Baimei Port and headed south.
