Silver Moon Halberd

Farewell to the emerald mountains and green waters from west to east, the tidal sea breeze is blowing, the sky is cloudless, so pure blue, low on the top of the head as if you can touch it with your hand.

On the boundless sea, a ship is sailing gently towards Tongliang; Tongliang is composed of archipelagos, and all the islands rely on boats to pass between them. The smallest island is not like a cone, and the widest one can be called a continent in the sea. It also takes one or two months to walk around the island.

The Fengxu Canal is already magnificent in Xixiu's consciousness, but compared with the sea in front of him, it is as delicate as a stream, and the small boats he has been on are even more incomparable with the ships on the sea.

Ye Zhen Gordon specially ate some red bayberry before boarding the boat, but it was of no avail, half an hour's sea voyage had already tortured his face.He sat resting in the cabin, and Xi Xiu stood by, clutching a wet towel and wiping his forehead and neck from time to time, hoping that the cold would ease his discomfort.

After another incense stick of time, they finally landed and took a rest. The two hired a bullock cart from a local farmer to travel.

The last time Ye Zhenge visited was nine years ago, so his impression of his uncle was still young, so that he couldn't hide his surprise when he met again.

And Feng Jing's eyes were already red, before he could say hello, he strode forward and hugged him, choked up and said: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

Xi Xiu was secretly surprised, if she didn't know the relationship with each other in advance, she would have misunderstood Feng Jing as Ye Zhenge's father; erasing the traces of time, the two people's eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose are almost identical!

"Uncle, nephew, I'm sorry."

"Stupid boy!" Feng Jing hurriedly backed away, with a kind smile on his wet eyes, looked at Ye Zhenge carefully, and asked, "Have you received the letter?"

Ye Zhenge nodded.

Feng Jing's expression changed suddenly: "It must be Ye Qing who prevented you from seeing me!"

He still seems to regard Ye Zhenge as a child nine years ago. Even if every letter sent to Ye's family is like a stone sinking into the sea, he can only blame Ye Qing for obstructing it!His nephew didn't look like Ye Qing at all from head to toe, but his surname was "Ye". Who would not say that he was the son of the Feng family? !The more Feng Jing thought about it, the more annoyed he became, but as soon as he heard about his uncle, his anger disappeared in an instant.

"You see how I am an uncle? I just stand and talk stupidly, forgetting that you must be thirsty and tired after a long journey!" An hour ago, Feng Jing was patrolling the shipyard, and he heard a report that the young master had landed on Chirong Island. So he came to greet him impatiently, and stopped Ye Zhenge's ox cart on the way.

Looking at each other with a smile, Ye Zhenge looked back at Feng Jing and said, "This is my friend Xi Xiu."

"I've met Senior Feng." Xi Xiu cupped his hands in a salute.

Seeing his humble attitude and extraordinary handsomeness, Feng Jing felt very fond of him, and praised him: "A hero born in a young age, Lingling's good friend, I want to treat him warmly."

Xi Xiu was puzzled when she heard the words.

Feng Jing smiled knowingly, and explained: "Lingling is the baby name this old man gave his nephew."

After finishing speaking, he sighed to Ye Zhenge again: "I'm afraid no one has called him for many years..."

Ye Zhenge obediently said: "The sun is shining at noon, you can see that you are sweating all over, let's talk while walking."

"Okay! Go sit in uncle's car!" Feng Jing held him with one hand and Xi Xiu with the other, grinning from ear to ear, "I remember you like crispy yellow croaker the most, and I will let my little sister cook for you later..."

Feng Jing wished to use his daughter, but Chirong Island was searched up and down by the servants, but no trace of her was found.Feng Jing's old face couldn't hold back, he scolded his daughter, and Ye Zhenge was happy when he had finished his good words.

After dinner, Feng Jing told his servants to entertain Xi Xiu, and then took his nephew back to his residence to express his long-awaited love.Nine years of hopelessness, all his thoughts and hopes were poured into the other party, and now he wished he could not leave each other.

Back then when Ye Qing refused to marry, Feng Jing insisted on persecuting him because his only sister, Feng Yuanfei, did not marry Ye Qing.Although Feng Yuan got her wish in the end, she died within two years of her marriage... If it wasn't for the childish Lingling, Feng Jing would have turned against Ye Qing early!He worked tirelessly to rush to Qianning year after year, but Ye Qing became more and more indifferent year after year, and since ten years ago he was not allowed to see his nephew.

Feng Jing's beloved wife died of illness for many years, and he has no children. He had long planned to bring his nephew back to Tongliang. In recent years, he learned that Gu Qiya took care of Ye's family, which made him hate Ye Qing even more!

The Ye family's business spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, but the north was dominated by Feng and Lu Tianxia. Tongliang's Feng family teamed up with Yan Ping's Lu family to suppress Ye Qing to the south of the river.Although Gu Qiya's means are great, what he won for the Ye family is insignificant compared to the former glory of the Ye family. The profit of a single sea shipment is comparable to the annual profit of ten shops.The Feng family not only has the best shipbuilding skills, but also dominates the sea routes. After all, it is the Feng family who sacrificed countless explorations, and even independent shipyards and shipping companies pay respect to them.

It doesn't matter if the nephew is not familiar with these things, he can teach them from the beginning, not to mention that the younger sister was cultivated by him, so it is perfect to be a good helper.

"Little sister is not as well-behaved as elder sister, but she is also a good girl..." Recalling the past, Feng Jing held his nephew's hand and wept, every wrinkle on his face was like a scar.

"I understand." Ye Zhenge had guilt in his eyes, thinking that his uncle was really old.

No wonder the nephew was reserved, Feng Jing knew that comparing his younger sister with his elder sister, even his own father could only shake his head... Reluctantly resorting to his trump card, he said in a mournful voice: "Lingling, have you forgotten Yan Ying?"

Ye Zhenge became even more silent.

Feng Jing's cleverness was misunderstood by his cleverness, and he had nothing to say in his heart. Seeing his nephew indulging in grief, he couldn't help but blame himself, and for the first time allowed him to go back to his room and have a good rest.

On the other side, Xi Xiu was arranged to stay in a guest room. The servants were very considerate in serving tea and water, but he was neither thirsty nor hungry, and was full of energy. Seeing that it was still early, he politely declined the other party's offer and went out for a walk alone.

The architecture of Chirong Island is unique. Each wooden house has its own courtyard, and the courtyards are separated by fences.Palm sieve grass is planted in front of the house, and the paths under the cover of the vegetation extend in all directions, extending all the way to the beach outside the vegetation.Although there are no blue tiles and vermilion eaves, carved beams and painted buildings here, it contains ingenious workmanship and a self-contained beauty.

While admiring it, Xi Xiu never forgot to be moved. However, he has lived in the densely forested mountains for a long time, and his body is delicate and tender, and the local sun immediately irritates him.Scratching his cheeks, he walked under the tree, but before he stopped, a fruit shell hit his head impartially. When he looked up, he saw a pair of bare feet, which swayed and swayed A string of crisp ringtones.

"Are you from Qianning?" A girl's voice that was clearer than the ringtone came to the eardrum.

Xi Xiu took two steps back to see the person clearly—thick eyebrows and almond eyes, pretty nose and cherry lips, and dark skin that did not detract from her youthful beauty.

The girl tilted her head and said, "What's your name?"

Xi Xiu asked behind the door of the self-reported house, "What about you?"

"Little sister Feng." The girl jumped down from the branch where she was sitting.

"Where are your shoes?" Xi Xiu stared blankly at her bare feet.

"I lost it." Feng Xiaomei smiled heartily, her teeth were as white as shells.

Xi Xiu has seen all kinds of smiles, comforting, gentle, cunning, and loving, but these smiles are not like the girl in front of her eyes; the sky seems to be higher, the sea seems to be bluer, and even the wind carries the fragrance of daylilies.

The setting sun reflected on the beach, casting two shadows of uneven length.

"You are so kind-hearted, unlike the Ye family." Feng Xiaomei jumped up and down, kicking sand from time to time, which made the foot bell ring.

"I'm not from the Ye family," Xi Xiu said slightly displeased, "I'm not Ye Zhenge's brother-in-law, let alone his entourage."

"Sorry, I misunderstood." Feng Xiaomei blinked mischievously, bent down and picked up a conch close to her ear, nodded in a serious manner, then tiptoed to send the conch to Xi Xiu, "Listen."

Xi Xiu only heard the muffled sound of "buzzing", and asked in surprise, "What are you listening to?"

"It said it doesn't need to look for it, the shoes have already been taken away."

Putting the conch into Xi Xiu's hand, Feng Xiaomei dragged him to the beach and sat side by side on the rock.

In the distance, the water and the sky meet, sparkling, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles the sea, like an orange fishing net, which is soft and beautiful.

Feng Xiaomei shook her legs unconsciously, and the bell rang again.

Xi Xiu looked down and asked curiously, "Can the bracelet also be put on the feet?"

Xiaomei Feng laughed heartily when she heard the words, and said, "I snatched the bracelet from my sister, and I've been wearing it like this since I was a child!"

After a while, the laughter gradually subsided, only the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and Xiaomei Feng said softly: "My sister is more beautiful than me, and she is better than me in everything. She can draw sea charts at the age of ten, and the first one was sent to my cousin. The entrusting person sent a pair of silver bell bracelets to my sister. I was young at the time, and I didn’t know how much she cherished this pair of bracelets, but she couldn’t twist them and finally let me have one.”

There is no doubt who the cousin is, remembering Shen Chuxing's words, Xi Xiu's throat twitched: "Is your sister... married to his fingertips?"

"Hmm..." Xiaomei Feng nodded.

"My sister said it was my mother's last wish, but she only met her cousin three times. The first time she was still in her mother's womb, the second time she was 13 years old, and the third time she was buried at the age of 16," Feng Xiaomei continued, slapping the sea water with her bare feet "My sister has been in poor health. I don't know who told her that the Ye family was going to dissolve the engagement. She was never happy again, and there was no reply to the letters she sent. Do you think it's strange? He ignored my sister when she was alive, sister No, he secretly cried in front of the grave in the middle of the night."

Xi Xiu was stunned, it's hard to imagine!

Unexpectedly, Xiaomei Feng immediately shook her head again: "Why is he crying? He always smiles at everyone, and he is very happy when I spit at him."

Xi Xiu lowered the corners of her eyes, unable to tell what was in her heart.

"I used to speak bad things about him in front of my sister. My sister laughed at me and said I didn't understand; every letter from my cousin was precious to her. Even if she was dying of illness, she only hated her own health," said Feng Xiaomei stepping into the water. , the sea water covered her knees and wet her dress, there was no smile or sadness on her face, "My sister likes him, and my father likes him too, but I don't."

Xi Xiu raised her eyes to look at her, and she also looked down at Xi Xiu, and finally pulled him up and smiled, "Why are you frowning? He is him, you are you, go, I will take you to my secret fortress!"

After getting the "pardon", Ye Zhenge went to the guest room to look for Xi Xiu, but he didn't wait for Xi Xiu until sunset, and when it was dark, he couldn't help but feel worried, hurriedly opened the door, but stopped in his tracks for a moment.

The night is like an inkstone, the moon is like a smiling eye, two figures, one tall and one short, stand at the end of the quiet path.

Leaning on the door frame to watch the scene, until the two said goodbye and the tall figure approached him, Ye Zhenge smiled softly and asked, "Are you having fun?"

Xi Xiu passed him by without saying a word, and lay down on the bed with her clothes on.

Ye Zhenge followed to the bed, supported the young man's side with one hand, and gently shook the fan with the other to send out a cool breeze: "We meet again after a long time, I want to spend more time with my uncle, I may not be able to be with you often in the near future."

Xi Xiu ignored it and turned a deaf ear to it.

"Young hero, Xiuxiu, madam..." Ye Zhenge yelled wildly, making himself amused, "Are you angry?"

Suddenly turning over and sitting up, Xi Xiu stared at him closely, and said, "I'm angry because you lied to me! You said you never had a wife who never married, who is Feng Yanying?"

Ye Zhenge smiled bitterly and said: "I have long forgotten what happened ten years ago, not to mention that my father never agreed to this marriage."

"Are you really forgetting, or are you refusing to admit her existence!"

"Although she is my cousin, I only met her once, why should I remember her—"

Such an attitude completely ignited Xi Xiu's anger, grabbed Ye Zhenge by the collar, and reprimanded: "After all, she likes you, how can you say such hard-hearted words!"

"You are the hypocritical benevolence of a rabbit who dies and a fox is sad. If she is still alive, it is not too late to pity her." Contrary to Xi Xiu's excitement, Ye Zhenge's face was indifferent, he waved his hand away with a fan, took two steps back, and tidied up slowly. Yishan, "You also want to be a love saint to fight injustice for others? It's ridiculous. You don't understand other people's hearts, let alone your own."

After saying that, he turned around and left, just as he opened the door, it was closed heavily by a palm from behind.

"Speak clearly!"

"I have nothing to say."

Xi Xiufeng drew back her eyebrows, and retracted her arms, intending to wrap Ye Zhenge around her chest.

Horrified, Ye Zhenge bent his elbows to block, but Xi Xiu had been on guard for a long time, and in an instant, the two of them were making moves!

Grabbing is naturally Ye Zhenge's forte, but today he was obviously absent-minded, and after dozens of moves, he was restrained by the opponent and could not move.Although he was very annoyed, he spoke calmly: "Differences can be negotiated, conflicts can be reconciled, it is not a good habit to do it."

"Business association? Reconciliation?" Xi Xiu twisted his wrists and whispered in his ear, "I don't think you have any intention of doing this!"

"What answer do you want to hear? I miss her, and I still miss her? But I only regard her as a cousin. She was innocent before she was alive. Why should an unknown man talk around behind her? The engagement has long been broken, and I don't want to. I just mentioned that I don't want you to be too thoughtful, but it's not as good as you spending half a day with my little sister if I tell my heart, so it's useless to talk too much."

Feeling that the power of control suddenly weakened, Ye Zhenge immediately withdrew, faced Xi Xiu and said, "You thought you pitied Yan Ying, but you were just jealous of her, because she had a marriage contract with me, and she was my legitimate wife—— "

Before he could finish speaking, he was sealed with a kiss.Ye Zhenge mercilessly pushed Xi Xiu away, frowned and said, "We'll talk when you calm down." After finishing speaking, he walked away.

Even though he pretends to be mature, he is still a lonely person in Linhaixigu who does not want the other party to leave. That kind of loneliness is deeply rooted in his life, and he will wake up at the slightest sign of trouble...

Looking at Ye Zhenge's receding back, Xi Xiu's eyes turned red as she stood still.
