Daoist Lin sister [Red House]

Wu Ciren handled things neatly, he turned around and ordered a few words from the servant, and then bowed to lead the way, indicating that Daiyu and the others could go with them.

Daiyu and Yongyu looked at each other, and after Yongyu arranged a few words in a low voice, he followed Wu Ciren with his sleeves flung.

As for Manna, Yi Na and others, they have known Wu Ciren since childhood.For them, going to sea is commonplace, so they are naturally more casual, just talking and laughing behind them.

Several people boarded the big boat, and Wu Ciren's servant was leading the boat in front.On the other side, Wu Ciren held up an exquisite map of sea routes to have a look with Yongyu.

After these days of training, Daiyu and Yongyu are now veterans in reading sea road maps.After just a few glances, he knew the specific location and size of this uninhabited island.

The young man in white who was called Artest was also a little moved when he saw Yongyu and others gathered around to look at the sea road map.It's just that he is limited by his identity and dare not act.

Seeing his expression, Daiyu recalled that when Yi Na was about to follow, she pointed at him and introduced that "A Tai is the best at remembering the way", so she handed the sea road map to Yongyu, and pouted in the direction of A Tai.

Yongyu understood.Although he felt that the customs of the Qianxiang country were very weird, he was not a person who made accusations and wanted others to change the customs.Not to mention the dislike of the men here.

Yong Yu personally handed the sea road map to Artest and said, "Please have a look."

Since he wants to buy the island, others are here to serve as his own advisers, and the virtuous corporal, Yong Yu can still do it.

Surprise flashed in Artest's eyes.

He has also heard that the customs of the Central Plains are completely opposite to those of Qianxiang Country.The men are all big figures who stand upright and govern the country, and they know what the identity of the Xiaoyao King is!Seeing Yongyu disregarding previous suspicions, not only has no pretensions, but also has a lot of respect for himself, Artest is so excited that he barely restrains his excitement, takes over the sea road map, and studies it very hard, wishing to contribute all his life's income to help Yongyu. Yumai Island.

On the other side, Yongyu and Daiyu were free, standing side by side at the bow of the boat, watching the scenery on the sea.

Sure enough, not too far away, a sea surface covered by thick fog appeared in front of my eyes.As soon as the leading boat sailed in, the official boat following behind lost its direction.

Even when Daiyu and Yongyu stood side by side at the bow of the boat, they felt as if they were covered by a pair of white hands as soon as they entered the dense fog, and they could hardly see their fingers.

Daiyu was in a hurry and was going to look for Yongyu.Fortunately, the right hand was grasped by someone.In the ear, Yongyu's clear voice came, "Don't be afraid, I'm right beside you."

Daiyu let out a long breath, and held Yongyu back with her right hand. She seemed uneasy, so she simply turned around and hung her whole body on Yongyu's left arm. Then she called out, "Snow goose? Sister Manna? Wu Island owner? General Ina?"

"In." "In." "In." "In."

There were sounds all around.

Only then did Daiyu feel relieved, and she only said to Wu Ciren, "Master Wu, is the fog so thick? We can't even see each other, so how can we sail to the shore?"

Wu Ciren replied loudly: "Angels, don't panic. The wind is light today, but the humidity is heavy, and the fog is thicker. However, we have a sea route map, so we only need to follow the direction of the compass and sail carefully, and everything will be fine. Moreover, in order to prevent getting lost, the villain once ordered his subordinates to lay a sea line with fishing nets in the area near the island. We can follow the traces of the fishing nets and follow the map to get there."

"But you said before that the undercurrent is turbulent here, the sea conditions are complicated, and if you sail in the fog, what should you do if you hit a reef or stray into a whirlpool?" Yong Yu asked.

Wu Ciren hurriedly said: "King Xiaoyao, don't worry. The small boat leading the way in front of the villain is the first to explore the way. The undercurrent in the sea here changes according to the time, and the tide is the strongest. Now the sun is clear and there is no undercurrent. Just Just be careful not to hit the rocks by mistake."

"I, I looked at the sea road map. My mother and I went fishing in the sea before, and also passed by this sea area. Although the sea fog is thick at noon, it is indeed the calmest time of the day and the most suitable time for landing on the island." Ah Tai dared to speak.

"A Tai, have you been to that island?" It was Yi Na's voice.

"No, never. When I was a child, I once saw a small island in the fog from a distance. But, since my mother was in a hurry to go to sea, I must have made a mistake. No, I never went to see it." Artest replied.

"What a pity! If you had discovered that small island earlier, you wouldn't have to take advantage of Wu Tsering today." Ina said regretfully.

Hearing this, Wu Ciren just smirked.

Only Yongyu led Daiyu closer to Artai, and asked in a low voice: "The fog is so heavy, I wonder if my little brother can feel the direction of the boat?"

Several people were talking at the bow, but the official ship was still moving forward slowly.Gradually, I don't know whether everyone is used to seeing flowers in the fog or the sea fog has lightened, and the outline of the leading boat in front of the bow has appeared, so Yongyu asked this question.

Artest squinted his eyes and looked again, nodded solemnly and said: "At first we were traveling eastward, and after entering the fog, we turned to the southeast. After traveling for about four or five miles, the boat The head turned a little bit to the southeast. During the period, apart from a few hidden reefs, there were no other dangerous places.”

Artest said word by word.

Before Daiyu and Yongyu could speak, Yi Na praised in surprise: "A Tai, how did you know? The fog here is so thick that we can't see anything, how do you know such details?"

Although Yi Na praised Artest for being good at water and remembering the way, she didn't know what Artest could do in her heart.Seeing that he was blindfolded by the sea fog, but still knew such details, he couldn't help asking in surprise.

"I have been floating on the sea since I was a child. I lived on the boat for many years. When I was bored, I would talk to the waves and fish. Therefore, I feel it more clearly than you." Artest blushed and said shyly.

It happened that a ray of sunlight came down and reflected on Artai's face as white as jade, making the pink even more amazing.

Not only Yi Na, but even Dai Yu was a little crazy.

"Ahem!" Yongyu coughed heavily.

Only then did Daiyu come to her senses, a strong smell of vinegar wafted from her nose.Daiyu turned her beautiful eyes, leaned her head on Yongyu's arm, and said with a light smile, "It's as bright as a haze, but it's not as dazzling as the golden crow."

Yongyu's expression slowed down a little, he glanced at Daiyu, and said viciously: "You, restrain yourself!"

Daiyu lowered her head and smiled sullenly.

Over there, Manna looked left and right, either Daiyu and Yongyu who were tired of being together, or Yi Na and Artai who simply hugged each other. Only she stood alone and could only look at a distant place with Wu Ciren. small island.

A small island in the distance?Manna suddenly came to her senses, and at some point, the sea fog had dispersed.Not only could she see everyone's expressions, but she could already see the true face of the uninhabited island not far away.

"Brother Wu, is this the island?" Manna asked, pointing to the gourd-like island in front of her.

"That's right, that's right." Wu Tsering said repeatedly, leading Daiyu and the others to look forward.

Yongyu raised his hand and helped Daiyu build an awning in front of her forehead, letting her look at it from a distance.

Daiyu stood on tiptoe, only to feel that the island in front of her was green, with dense trees, a hundred birds flying there, and full of vitality.The white sandy beach near the sea is like a jade belt, encircling the small island, shining crystal brilliance under the sunlight.The island is undulating, with a depression in the middle washed out by the waves.At first glance, it looks like a gourd whose waist has been pinched out.

"Is this a Huludao?" Daiyu asked.

Yongyu laughed and said, "The shape of the island looks like a gourd. However, if you regard the gap as a thin waist, it could be a beauty falling down or a Maitreya being auspicious!"

The corner of Daiyu's mouth twitched, and she muttered softly: "It's obviously a gourd..."

"What?" Yongyu obviously heard what Daiyu said, but deliberately asked back.

Daiyu hurriedly looked around and said to him: "It's nothing. Island Master Wu, let's go to the island right now?"

"Okay, please go this way, Angel." Wu Tseren bowed to lead the way, and Xueyan walked out of the boat caressing Daiyu.

As soon as several people stepped on the ground, they all exclaimed in unison.

"Ah! It's so beautiful!" Yi Na yelled loudly, let go of Artest's hand, and ran on the beach.

Daiyu couldn't help herself, and followed her for a few steps.

The fine sand is like cotton, like a February spring breeze gently blowing over Daiyu's ankles, embellishing Xu Xue's skin with crystal pearls.

"What is this?" Daiyu was being naughty when she suddenly felt a stone hit her foot.She lowered her head to pick it up and opened her mouth involuntarily, unable to speak for a long time.

Yongyu was admiring the figure of Daiyu having fun on the beach at the back, and suddenly saw her stop, frowning and lowering her head, not moving for a long time, thinking that she was bitten by an animal on the beach, so she hurried to catch up and asked, "Why?" Yes? But subject to—"

Before the word "hurt" came out, Yongyu first saw what was in Daiyu's hand, and was too shocked to speak.

It turned out that there was a litchi-sized pearl lying in Daiyu's palm.And the whole body of the pearl is white, round and translucent, which can reflect Daiyu's face.Even under the sunlight, there is still a faint brilliance, which is not inferior at all.

"This, this is the best Nanzhu! I'm afraid, the one on the top of the head of the Holy One is not as good as it—" Yongyu blurted out, but fortunately he stopped in time.

Before Daiyu and Yongyu finished marveling, Yi Na, who was running ahead at the corner, called out loudly: "Come and see, there are so many clam essences here! There are pearls everywhere!"

"What, there are so many pearls?" Daiyu and Yongyu asked together in surprise, and they ran after Yi Na arm in arm.

Sure enough, after walking a few steps and bypassing a jagged reef, a wonderful scene came into view.I saw sea mussels the size of millstones crowded together on the jade belt-like beach.And these sea mussels all have their shells open, and in broad daylight, their bellies are bright to absorb the sun's essence.

Those plump mussels that are almost flowing out are all heaving and falling, showing the vitality of the owner.And during that ups and downs, countless crystal pearls wrapped in the clam meat flickered, competing with the sun for brilliance.

It was the shining spot of light in the jade belt on the beach that Daiyu saw from afar when she was at sea.

"Here, let's say there are thousands of pearls, right?" After a long while, Daiyu said to Yongyu.

Yongyu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that. Looking at it this way, the sea fog just now is probably not fog, but—"

"Mirage?" Daiyu and Yongyu said at the same time.

After all, Xueyan's eyelids were shallower, and she couldn't help but said excitedly: "Girl, if we buy this island, wouldn't these pearls also belong to us?"

Daiyu turned her head and saw Xueyan's excited face, she raised her hand and scratched her nose, glanced at her, and saw Wu Ciren standing beside her, with a look of reluctance to part with her.

"Silly girl, you see, these clam spirits are not afraid of people at all. They not only absorb the moonlight, but also dare to open their shells to catch the sun in broad daylight, but why?" Daiyu asked Xueyan.

Xueyan pondered for a moment, then clapped her hands and said: "Yes, it's not that they are not afraid of people, but because there are no people on the island. Since there are no people, why are they afraid of people?"

"It's not too stupid!" Daiyu praised Xueyan with a smile, then turned to Wu Ciren and said, "I must have seen such an astonishing sight when Island Master Wu landed on the island before?"

"Indeed, I have seen it." Wu Ciren replied with a smile on his face.

Daiyu turned her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "Don't mention the things around this island, these pearls alone are priceless and easy to get. Since the owner of Wu Island values ​​the benefits that can be obtained, fortunately he directly ordered people It is also a big reward to stay on the island to kill mussels and get pearls. Why do you want to take advantage of us?"

"This, this..." Wu Ciren was still deliberating on his words.

But Yongyu continued: "You still say that the snow geese are stupid, why aren't you? These clams are so smooth! The reason why they come here to dry their shells, and even dare to go to the island during the day, is not because this is an uninhabited island. Island. Don’t say that you come to pick pearls every day, even if you pick pearls just once, other clam spirits will never come again after they get the news.”

"Oh! The prince is right, but I was confused for a moment!" Daiyu patted her head exaggeratedly, pretending to have an epiphany.

Seeing her expression, Yongyu almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Wu Ciren next to him laughed until his face froze.

At first when he heard Xueyan's question, he was still secretly happy in his heart, thinking to himself what a clever move he made by keeping the pearl and asking for the price.Unexpectedly, when things turned around, Daiyu and Yongyu sang together and exposed his tricks.

Clam essence is alive, how can it just sit and wait to be slaughtered?There are so many today, but because the island is safe.If the island is full of people, not to mention the clam spirit, I am afraid that even the fog and mirage that guards the island will disappear without a trace.

"The island is a treasure island, but the advantage is that it is uninhabited. If there are many people, it is just a second Wuyou Island." Manna said suddenly.

It's not that she, Manna, insists on cutting off people's fortunes, it's that Daiyu and Yongyu are her honored guests at Qianxiang's throne.Wu Ciren had bad intentions and wanted to make a big fortune, but he was exposed on the spot.The two of them are old acquaintances, if she doesn't express her position immediately, she is afraid that Daiyu and Yongyu will be misunderstood.

Daiyu smiled at Manna when she heard that, but said, "Sister Manna is right. But—"

When Wu Ciren heard Daiyu's words, he was mostly disappointed at first, but when he heard Daiyu's tone with room for change, he said "but", he immediately pricked up his ears, as if to listen attentively.

Daiyu saw his expression and thought it was funny, but she didn't hold back any more, and said directly: "We have to look at the island again. Although we can't pay a high price just because of these clam essences, it won't be too low either. That's it."

"Thank you, Master Angel!" Wu Ciren said gratefully.

With a wave of Yongyu's hand, someone behind him led two pony horses that were just right for walking on the beach.

Yongyu picked out a horse that looked more docile, and helped Daiyu onto the horse.But with another wave of his hand, he waved the other horse back, turned up and sat behind Daiyu.

"You, me, I can do it myself." Daiyu was embraced by Yongyu.The thin clothes couldn't isolate each other's breath at all, and when his back was warmed by the heat from his chest, Daiyu felt that her heart and liver were getting hot, and even though she was eloquent, she stuttered immediately.

Now, Daiyu has grown up, standing with Manna and others, she is not too short.But as soon as Yong Yu got on the horse, she immediately nestled into his arms, the top of her head was just able to support his chin.From a distance, it looks like a little doll!

However, Yongyu seemed to feel that this posture and height were very comfortable. He rubbed the hair on Daiyu's head with his chin, and said with a smile, "I don't worry about your little horse riding skills! Be good, just sit down. , ahem, I will take you for a walk for my husband."

"Bah!" Dai Yu just spat, and suddenly realized that the name of the husband and wife was requested by herself, her face became more and more red, and finally she sat still obediently, and was led away by Yong Yu.

Behind him, Yi Na, not to be outdone, also carried Artai onto the horse, and the two rode together, not far or near beside Daiyu and Yongyu.

As for Wu Ciren, his careful thoughts failed one after another, he restrained his previous contempt, and really respected Daiyu and others a little more from the bottom of his heart.

Yong Yu controlled the pony and jogged for a while along the gaps in the woods around the island, and he had already gained a lot.

Not to mention the natural scenery of the island, which makes people unable to walk when they see it, but the products on the island alone can be called amazing!

There are ganoderma lucidum the size of a face, strange-shaped wild fruits with a tangy aroma, and many herbs that Yongyu doesn't recognize and even Daiyu has only seen in medical books, not to mention birds and beasts that occasionally poke their heads out curiously.

"It's really a paradise! It's a pity that there is no way to the hinterland of the island." Daiyu was very excited, and urged Yongyu several times to go deeper into the woods.

Fortunately, Yong Yu had the strength to persuade her again and again: "This place is secluded and uninhabited, and there may be some ferocious beasts in the depths of the woods. They are just ordinary snakes, insects, rats and ants, and being bitten is also a big deal."

Daiyu had to give up.

In the end, reluctant to leave suddenly, after assigning people to investigate the situation of the island in several ways, Daiyu still asked Yongyu to ride her horse and lead her to run more than half a circle around the island.

After this walk, we went straight to Hongri Mountain.

Lin Miao and the steward of Kui's family, who were divided into several groups to check around, have returned, but there is no trace of Daiyu and Yongyu.

Xueyan was in a hurry, so she was going to look for it on horseback with Lin Miao.

In the distance, the neighing of horses could be heard.Yongyu and Daiyu turned around the woods and came running.

"Girl! You guys are back!" Xueyan hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

Daiyu was on the horseback, her little face was flushed by the sun, but she couldn't hide her excitement and said, "Xueyan, how is your stroll? I really like this island, how about you?"

Xue Yan also smiled when she heard the words: "Slaves, slaves also like it very much. But I still have to listen to Lin Guanshi's opinion."

Lin Miao has also followed.After Yongyu carried Daiyu off the horse, Lin Miao came forward and told Daiyu one by one what he and the steward of the Kui family had seen after investigation.

"You mean, is this island available for purchase?" After hearing this, Daiyu confirmed to Lin Miao again.

Lin Miao nodded solemnly.

Daiyu laughed, clapped her hands and said, "Since that's the case, let's make an offer, Island Master Wu!"

Wu Ciren didn't expect Daiyu to be so happy, he blinked, but didn't speak, just stretched out five fingers to compare.

Daiyu pretended not to understand, tilted her head and asked, "You can buy an island for 5000 taels, and the owner of Wu Island is too polite!"

Wu Ciren's outstretched hand managed not to be scared to the ground, "Five, 5000 taels? Don't be joking, my lord, these pearls are more than this price."

"Oh? How much does Island Master Wu want? It's better to be straightforward!" Daiyu put away her smile and said seriously.

As soon as Daiyu's expression changed, Wu Ciren felt the hairs on his back stand on end. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "This, at least this is 5 taels, right? It's an island after all!"

"However, Island Master Wu didn't buy this island with money. It's really a windfall. It's not good to be too greedy!" Daiyu said.

Wu Ciren also knew that he would not be able to defend the island by himself.As long as his boat goes in and out several times, he will definitely be discovered, and then the island will be robbed.Wu Ciren gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, closed his eyes and said, "Forty-eight thousand taels, no less!"

"Forty-eight thousand taels of silver?" Daiyu asked.

Wu Ciren nodded, "Forty-eight thousand taels of silver, not even a penny less."

"Okay, deal!" Daiyu said suddenly.

"Success, a deal?" Wu Ciren didn't realize it all at once.

But Daiyu had already walked past him with Yongyu, and said to Yongyu deliberately: "I thought Wu Island Master was talking about gold! I didn't expect to win a treasure for less than 5 taels." Dao, oh, what a windfall!"

Wu Ciren, who heard everything in his ears: ...

Rubbing her belly, Manna, who fell down and sat next to Wu Ciren, who was so regretful that her intestines were green, knelt down kindly, and said to Wu Ciren: "You, stealing chickens is not enough. Do business with people honestly and decently, not to mention 5 taels of silver, but 10 taels of silver, even angels can afford it without blinking an eye."

"I, I, hey——" Wu Ciren sighed, and grabbed all the sand and slapped it on his face.

When Wu Ciren finally boarded the official ship, it was Lin Miao who came to talk to him.

Lin Miao took out a banknote of 8 taels and handed it to Wu Ciren, saying, "Don't worry, Island Master Wu, this banknote is issued by the treasure ship of Qianxiang Kingdom, and you can withdraw the money as soon as you get off the boat. If you are still worried, or want some real goods, the Lin family’s fleet has brought a lot of silk tea and porcelain antiques, and you can discount the price if you like it.”

Wu Ciren pointed to the word "eight" on the bank note with trembling hands and said, "Eight, 8 taels?"

Lin Miao smiled, "Master Wu, don't misunderstand me. The matter just now is just a joke between my girl and the island owner. Don't say that there are many rare objects on the island, even those pearls can be sold for a good price If you accept the money, we can still make money. What's more, the island owner's Wuyou Island is near this Huludao. In the future, when I go in and out, I will have to trouble the island owner. The extra money is your hard work money!"

Wu Ciren, who was originally an empty-handed white wolf, was hit on the head, thinking that the duck in his beak flew away, and there was nothing wrong with regret.But turning around has gained sweetness again, and there are promises in the future, how can I not be grateful to Dade?

The owner of Wuyou Island was so happy that he almost knelt down in front of Daiyu and kowtowed.

Over there, seeing that Daiyu had gained a lot, Manna was in a good mood, and she also stepped forward and said, "Sister, don't forget, I also promised my sister to support Qian Xiangguo at the Saizhen Treasure Fighting Conference!"

When Daiyu heard this, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "I'll never forget it."
