According to the guidance of the human face tree, the two plan to meet the whales in the sea who like stargazing.

The little tiger went to find the big one, and the antler fox followed them to the beach. Tan Changxing asked, "Are there whales in the shallow sea?"

As it turns out, no.

So the two tied a raft with wood and hemp rope, and used a stone as an anchor. One end of the hemp rope was tied to the reef and the other was tied to the raft. The two of them sat on it and drifted slowly into the sea.

Fortunately, the rope was long enough, and the sea was calm, so the small raft was not overturned by the waves, and drifted safely into the slightly deeper sea.

A pointed horn floated up, followed by a long gray snout, and a brisk cry. Tan Changxing had a strange expression: "A horned... dolphin?"

The long-horned dolphin's one-horn was translucent dark blue, very beautiful, and it circled their raft twice, making cheerful calls.

After a while, two more dolphins swam over.Wei Ming stretched out his hand tentatively, wanting to touch the dolphin's horn.

Tan Changxing grabbed his hand nervously: "Be careful, in case it is poisonous."

The staghorn fox wagged its big fluffy tail and looked curiously at the strange sea creatures.

A dolphin brought a large misty white bead in its mouth and carefully placed it on the raft. Wei Ming picked up the bead and asked, "For us?"

The dolphin gave a cry and looked at him intently.

The sea creatures were hospitable, and the other two dolphins caught two big fish and put them on the raft, as if they wanted to make friends with them.

Wei Ming holds the beads in his hands, the beads feel warm and cool, and when he touches them carefully, there are wavy lines.He turned around and handed it to Tan Changxing, and saw the antler fox holding a fish in its mouth, with crooked eyes and an extremely gentle smile.

Tan Changxing looked at Wei Ming's smile and his heart skipped a beat. He held the big pearl and sat up straight.But the raft was that big, and if he wanted to stay away from Wei Ming, he had to fall into the sea.

Without realizing it, Wei Ming stretched out his hand, and the dolphin came over and put the dark blue horn in his palm.

The antler fox stretches out its big fluffy tail, dangling and playing with the dolphins.

Suddenly, there was a loud whale cry, and the long-horned dolphin swam away quickly, leaving Wei Ming and Tan Changxing with a dazed look on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Wei Ming looked into the distance.

Far below the surface of the sea, black and white whales swim in groups, their fins and belly are black, and there are round white spots around their eyes.

"Is that what Xiaoshu said, the whale who likes stargazing?" Tan Changxing guessed.

When the whales saw their raft, they slowed down. The leading whale poked its head out curiously and looked at them. When it saw the misty white pearl Tan Changxing was holding, the whale uttered a loud cry, as if... …laugh at?Wei Ming whispered, "I think it's laughing at us."

"Yes." Tan Changxing agreed.

Seeing that they did not move, the whale sank to the surface of the sea and seemed to want to leave, Wei Ming said, "Wait a minute!"

The whale poked its head out again and approached their raft.

"I want to go to land, can you take me there?" Wei Ming asked.

The whale looked at him for a while, then sank to the surface of the sea again, and led the group of whales to swim away quickly.

Wei Ming smiled wryly: "It seems that he refused."

"Don't be too hasty." Tan Changxing said, "At least they know us now."

"That's right." Wei Ming said.

The stag-horned fox was lying on the raft, with the tip of its tail hanging down on the sea surface. When the whales swam by, the last whale was swept across its skin by the tip of its tail.

The fox shook his ears and raised his head to look at the whale.

The whale was very curious, apparently forgot to keep up with the team, and came over to play with the fox's tail.

The group of whales stopped on their way, and the leader whale swam over angrily, knocked the playful whale over with his head, and screamed a few times as if to reprimand, the playful whale followed the leader back to the group obediently, looking at it reluctantly. He glanced at the fox's big fluffy tail.

"It likes your tail." Wei Ming rubbed the fox's fur and said to Tan Changxing, "Let's go back."

"Okay." Tan Changxing replied.

The two dragged the raft back to the shallow sea with the rope, and then pushed the raft to the beach. Wei Ming looked back to the sea, and several gray long-horned dolphins jumped out of the sea, as if saying goodbye to them.

The big tiger landed on the beach with the little tiger on his back, and the little tiger jumped down and ran to Wei Ming's side.

Wei Ming and Tan Changxing walked towards the mountain hut with the fish and pearls followed by the tiger and the fox.

"My third brother is not suitable for royal life." Tan Changxing said, for some reason, he just wanted to share this story with Wei Ming, "He has a simple personality, he believes what others say, likes and hates Obviously, reckless and impulsive. He fell in love with a merchant's daughter, whose status was far different from his, but he was determined to marry that woman as his concubine."

Wei Ming listened quietly.

"He was simple-minded and easily deceived by others. He was involved in a fraud case. His father was furious and he was demoted to a commoner." Tan Changxing stepped up a step, "The woman saw that he lost his status as a rich man. , Abandoned him, he was devastated, lingering on the sick bed, and passed away after about half a year." Tan Changxing looked towards the distant woods, and said, "I think he is very stupid, but also very brave."

"It's both beautiful and sad to be attached to one person." Wei Ming sighed, his mother was obsessed with his father, and the deepest love made him crazy. He looked at Tan Changxing and shared another story, "I heard a storybook, There was a woman who was the top brand in the brothel. She kept silver jewelry for 20 years and put them in a wooden box as a dowry. Later, she met a scholar. The scholar recited poems and painted pictures. He was so talented that he won the woman's heart. The two made a private appointment Life. However, the scholar already had a family and did not tell the woman. The scholar’s ​​wife came to the brothel and complained. The woman admired loyal love and hated the scholar’s ​​behavior. She split the wooden box with a sword and gave half of the silver taels to the scholar. The main wife apologizes. The scholar’s ​​main wife is also a strong woman, she paid half of the money to redeem the girl, and went back to separate from the scholar.”

After listening, Tan Changxing said leisurely: "Could it be that the scholar's regular wife has taken a fancy to the girl's beauty?"

"..." Wei Ming obviously didn't expect this, stuttered a bit, and said, "The two of them became sisters in the rivers and lakes, and went to the end of the world with their swords." Then scratched his head, "I only thought of the pure sisterhood."

With a smile in his eyes, Tan Changxing teased, "Do you know Brother Qi?"

"...You mean the son of a poor family can't find a wife, so he simply lives with his brother?" Wei Ming asked.

"There are also brothers Qi who are not poor." Tan Changxing pointed out something, and then forcefully brought the topic back, "The scholar's regular wife and brothel girl may be Mojing."

Wei Ming stopped talking, he thought about the appearance of the two women together, it was... so beautiful.

Tan Changxing looked at Wei Ming's reddened ears, and smiled sullenly: "Could it be that you like to read Mo Jing's script?"

"I haven't." Wei Ming quickly denied it, and glared at Tan Changxing, "How do you know so much?"

"I'm in the palace, of course I know about this." Tan Changxing said, "Many maids feel lonely in the palace, so..."

Wei Ming covered his mouth and said, "Let's change the subject."

Tan Changxing's lips were pressed against Wei Ming's palm, and he felt bad thoughts, and licked it with the tip of his tongue.

Wei Ming withdrew his palm abruptly, turned his back behind his back, and glared at him angrily: "What are you doing?"

Tan Changxing laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up: "Young Master Wei, you are so stupid."
