The scholar is the white moonlight in the heart of the bandits

When Zeng Ning woke up, he had already returned to his room and covered the quilt.

Pushing open the window and looking, the sky is already bright, and looking at the sun, it is already high in the sun.

Late last night, Murong Cheng was still unwilling to leave Zeng Ning alone in the secret passage, and brought him back while he was asleep.

Although he couldn't wait to be relieved, he couldn't just find someone to replace him. His hands had already been stained with shark oil from countless sharks. It was dark yellow and black, and couldn't be washed off.

Zeng Ning is like a blank sheet of paper, it's not worth getting dirty for someone like him.

Asking Zeng Ning to replace him was actually a last resort. After seeing Zeng Ning for the first time, Murong Cheng had this idea in his heart. This is a perfect substitute. Zeng Ning is less talkative and has something that his peers don't have. Steady, delicate in mind, and even a bit of a city in his heart, if such a person is a little bit intimidating, he will definitely let him do anything.

It's just that Murong Cheng didn't expect that Zeng Ning was actually more innocent than he imagined.

The so-called city and prudence are just what he wants to do to survive.Zeng Ning is indeed easy to deceive, just a few big meat buns, he can obediently think that a person is good, but this does not mean that he can kill people for a few big meat buns.

"Master." When going out, Zeng Ning saw the master chopping firewood, probably preparing for lunch.

"Why did you sleep so late today? Can you be so lazy after entering the Second Young Master's yard?" As he said that, the master split the firewood in front of him, which shocked Zeng Ning.

"I...I'll go right away." Zeng Ning lowered his head and trotted towards the second young master's yard.

How he got out of the secret passage, he had already guessed most of it in his heart, but recalling the terrifying appearance of the second young master who wanted to eat people last night, Zeng Ning's legs were still trembling.

With trembling hands, he patted the gate of the second young master's yard. Seeing no one answered, Zeng Ning opened the door and walked in. He saw the second young master in the yard, just like in the past, sitting in front of the stone table reading a book in plain clothes. I took a plate of dim sum, but I didn't move a few. I even made a pot of tea, and I could smell the fragrance from a distance.

"Second Young Master." Zeng Ning said tremblingly.

"Coming?" Murong Cheng also looked a little unnatural at the moment.

What happened last night was actually very difficult for Zeng Ning, and for him.

Especially the sneer of the merman who was locked in the secret passage later, and the sentence "You are nothing more than that."

Zeng Ning nodded.

"Does the second young master have any orders?"

Murong Cheng turned a page of the book, "It's nothing, you go and wait aside, find a stool to sit on."

"Yes." Zeng Ning said.

The yard fell silent.

After a while.

"Zeng Ning..."

"Yes."

"I have to say sorry for what happened yesterday. I shouldn't have forced you."

"It's nothing, Zeng Ning is timid."

"Ah."

Suddenly, Murong Cheng closed the book, and said seriously:

"Zeng Ning, what do you think of me?"

Zeng Ning's heart skipped a beat, and his mind flashed the image of Xiao Li'er bitten in the dog training ground a few days ago.

He doesn't want to die.

"Master is fine."

Murong Cheng sighed, and said with a wry smile: "So what, it's not because I was trapped in the Murong family's first life."

Zeng Ning frowned slightly, not understanding what Murong Cheng meant.

Wouldn't it be nice to be born in Murong's family, to be well-clothed and well-fed for a lifetime, to be rich and honored, and to be able to hold one's life in one's own hands and be free.

"You don't understand." Murong Cheng shook his head. "I'm just looking at the scenery. The Murong family is a prison for me. Every heir of the Murong family came here with the blood of the mermaids. I don't want to Killing, but for the sake of the family, I have to do it. I don't rarely do it as the Patriarch of the Murong family, but even if I don't want to, it's just covering up my ambition in the eyes of others. I'm very tired, and I don't want to have such a conspiracy Life."

I don't want to either!

Zeng Ning thought in his heart, would it be possible to be a servant without intrigue and to live an honest life? Sometimes the jealousy and comparison between servants are much more terrifying than the surface.

Or, everyone has their own difficulties.

Seeing that Zeng Ning bowed his head and remained silent, Murong Cheng thought that maybe his complaints were made up in Zeng Ning's eyes, or that he didn't listen to him at all, but he was just being sentimental, thinking that Zeng Ning might understand himself better a little.

Smiling wryly, Murong Cheng continued to open the book and read on his own.

Although he rejected Murong Cheng's request, every few days, Murong Cheng would still take Zeng Ning to the underground secret passage to make shark beads.

With the first experience, Zeng Ning also had some mental preparations in his heart, and prepared two balls of cotton for himself to stuff into his ears in advance. Although the effect was minimal, Murong Cheng would also be very kind to send Nanhai mirage to him. Wrapping it up, the merman's soul-piercing sound and the volume of screaming were reduced as much as possible.

It's just that Zeng Ning still hasn't gotten used to the cruel sight of slaughtering the merman. He still can't see the merman struggling on the desk. He was relieved to always get a tireless and indifferent smile and a reassuring nod.

Moreover, Murong Cheng was very good at handing over the aftermath to him.

Although Zeng Ning couldn't help but feel nauseous when handling the corpses of the sharks, but when he thought of finishing up quickly, he would have time to talk to Wuyan, so his movements became much more dexterous.

"Wuyan, I've cleaned it up." After wiping the sticky shark oil on his hands, Zeng Ning put the rag aside and walked to the locked water tank.

"Yeah." Wu Yan nodded with a smile.

Zeng Ning sat down, "Today I cleaned up quickly, just wanting to look at you more and talk to you more."

Insatiable smile: "Let me sing you a song."

Zeng Ning nodded.

It was the familiar tune of the two of them again, and when the song ended, Zeng Ning looked up at Wuyan, with stars shining in his eyes.

When he was listening to Wuyan singing, he was thinking in his mind, what a wonderful picture it would be if Wuyan sat on the reef on the coast and sang under the moonlight.

"If only we could all be free," Zeng Ning said.

"There will be that day." Wuyan smiled, "When that day comes, I will take you to the habitat of the mirages and sharks. Although it is not as prosperous as the land of the mirages and sharks, it is very quiet. The moonlight is beautiful. Whenever the full moon At that time, there will be countless clansmen jumping out of the sea, singing freely, and then bathing in the moonlight, the scales on their bodies will emit colorful light, and even see a beautiful rainbow at night."

"Really!" Zeng Ning was shocked by Wuyan's picture. He also wanted to see what Wuyan said about the mirage's habitat. He also wanted to see the rainbow under the moonlight. What does it look like.

But he just wanted to hear Wuyan sing alone.

"I really want to go and see it with you, Wuyan."

"Me too."

Zeng Ning can't stay in the underground secret passage for too long, and she has to go back after a few hasty words with Wuyan, otherwise it's not good for others to find out.
