Main Text Chapter 357: The Tree Wants to Be Still but the Wind Does Not Stop
"The thousands of people hiding on that island are finally willing to leave."
At Xixiu Star Palace, Miss Ji, who was staring at the star disk, chuckled.
Everyone looked over and saw that the cluster of flickering light spots had indeed left the island where they had been entrenched for more than three years.
Yun Guang said, "I don't know if they were forced to leave or if they relied on their numbers to show off their skills."
"Show off their skills?" Heiyun laughed strangely, "I think they are almost going to die."
Everyone just paid attention to it casually. Most people still focused on the six red dots on the star disk. Only Zuo Nanchun and Fairy Hongchen kept a close eye on the large number of people on the island.
From the star disk, the general dynamics of the entire Xixinghai were in sight. The 180,000 participating monks are now less than 50,000, and the chances of meeting each other are getting fewer and fewer, but it also means that the fewer people there are, the stronger the remaining ones are, and once they meet, it will be very intense.
There are as many islands in Xingxiu Sea as the stars in the sky. It is impossible for the participants to search every island. The fact that Chenlu's group of people ran out and wandered around means that it is even more dangerous. The bright eyes of the Red Dust Fairy flashed with worry.
She has been thinking about a question in her heart, whether that Miao Yi is the young Miao Yi who had met once in the ancient city when the Red Dust was opened.
Her junior sister Yueyao once told her that the three brothers and sisters were hiding in an old willow tree at the foot of the city wall at that time, and saw her up close.
After this reminder, she also remembered that there was indeed such a thing. At that time, she stood on the parapet of the ancient city and did see three people hiding in the willow tree, but she just glimpsed it and didn't take it seriously.
If the Miao Yi in Chenlu's group is really the elder brother of the junior sister. Once something happened in Xingxiu Sea, she didn't know how to tell the junior sister when she looked back.
She could see that the junior sister had a deep relationship with the elder brother who had been separated for many years, and she also heard the junior sister talk about the past. During the most lonely and difficult days for the three siblings, it was the eldest brother who carried everything on his weak shoulders.
At such a young age, he picked up the butcher knife to support the family. At the beginning, he often failed to kill the pigs, but was knocked to the ground by the big fat pigs. He was beaten and bruised by the pigs. The eldest brother fell down and got up again and again.
Don’t think that pig bites don’t hurt. The two younger ones saw with their own eyes that the big fat pigs that were forced into a corner bit the eldest brother’s arm and made blood flow.
The young second and third children couldn’t help. They were hungry and watched the eldest brother fall to the ground and get up again and again, with blood flowing from his arms. The two younger ones cried outside the pigpen.
The eldest brother supported the family by falling to the ground and getting up again and again.
In order to prevent his younger brothers and sisters from being sent to Ciyuan Mansion, the eldest brother even stabbed himself with a butcher knife.
Whenever the junior sister talked about this, she would cry in front of her.
At that time, the family had no money, and the eldest brother spent all the limited resources on his younger brothers and sisters. He left all the delicious food for his younger brothers and sisters. He worked hard to support his younger brothers and sisters to study, but he wasted his own time and could not even read a few words.
It was not only delayed in learning to read and write, but more importantly, it was delayed in the eldest brother's life. No one wanted their daughter to marry a poor boy with two burdens.
When the eldest brother went to the tofu shop opposite, the old Li family, to propose marriage, the scene of the betrothal gifts being thrown out was clearly remembered by the junior sister. After that, many people who passed by the meat stall would point and laugh at the eldest brother, and the second and third brothers heard a lot of rumors. For this reason, the second brother often fought with others, and threw stones at people's tile houses in the middle of the night, causing other people's houses to leak in the middle of the night. But the eldest brother standing behind the meat stall looked normal, setting up the stall as usual, as if nothing had happened, and turning a deaf ear to the rumors and ridicule.
At that time, the third child always comforted the eldest brother, saying that no one of the daughters of other families was good enough for the eldest brother, and asked the eldest brother not to worry, saying that she would marry him when she grew up. The eldest brother would smile and rub her head and call her a fool. So the third child would solemnly swear to the sky that she would definitely be the eldest brother's wife when she grew up, and asked the eldest brother to wait for her to grow up. If the eldest brother married someone else, she would not agree. But the eldest brother always smiled and shook his head and said, how could my sister marry a pig killer!
Maybe others would think that it was just childish talk, but the Red Dust Fairy knew that the junior sister always remembered it. She was really upset by the junior sister that year, so she accompanied the junior sister to go home in disguise. As a result, the junior sister made a big fuss in the city lord's mansion that time, and almost killed the daughter of the tofu shop owner Li who rejected the eldest brother's proposal.
After returning, the junior sister was still very angry, and repeatedly said that the daughter of the tofu shop owner Li was not worthy of her eldest brother, and said that she would marry the eldest brother and so on.
Fairy Hongchen just listened or said a few words of comfort, because she understood that women of their status and beauty could never marry an ordinary man. Not to mention ordinary men, even if it was an ordinary cultivator, Master Mu Fanjun would not agree. People of different status and position should not even think about passing the master's test.
So many years have passed. According to calculations, the elder brother of Junior Sister should have died of old age. Who would have thought that a man named Miao Yi suddenly appeared at the Xingxiu Sea Rebellion Conference. Didn't Junior Sister's elder brother miss the opportunity to practice?
She didn't know if this Miao Yi was the Miao Yi. If he was, it would be better for him to die at the hands of others. What if the two brothers and sisters didn't know each other after so many years? What if Junior Sister killed her elder brother with her own hands? What should she do?
She wished she could leave Xixiu Star Palace and go to Xi Xinghai to find out what was going on. However, for the sake of the fairness of the Rebellion Conference, everyone who came to Xixiu Star Palace from the Six Nations was cut off from the outside world and was not allowed to enter or exit at will. They had to be honest. Stay until the civil war ends...
Miao Yi and others, who had found a place to stay in the island's cottage, met again.
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Sikong Wuwei looked at the empty cottage and laughed, with a look like "I have the final say on my territory."
Zhao Fei muttered: "Don't be too happy too early, don't let go of the caution you should have!"
"Zhao Fei is right!" Miao Yi nodded, pointed to the highest peak on one side, and said to several people: "From today on, except Qi Xiuhong, we will take turns on duty."
This was a natural thing, and several people nodded in agreement.
Wang Yuetian smiled and said: "I think the water quality in the clear pool under the hanging waterfall in the mountain is good. Let's go! The three of us are going to take a nice bath." After that, he grabbed Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei's arms and dragged them away.
"I mean, why would someone named Wang drag us along after taking a shower?" Sikong Wuwei yelled and froze.
Zhao Fei also doesn't have the habit of several grown men taking a bath together.
Wang Yuetian blinked and said, "Sikong, it's time to relax just after getting out of danger. Let's not disturb Brother Miao and Sister Qi's rest." His words were ambiguous.
Sikong Wuwei and Zhao Fei looked back at Miao Yi and Qi Xiuhong, with expressions of sudden realization.
Although Qi Xiuhong intentionally kept a distance from Miao Yi in front of outsiders, everyone had been together for so long and they were not fools. They had already seen the clues. The relationship between Qi Xiuhong and Miao Yi was already an open secret.
Could it be that Wang Yuetian saw what Miao Yi wanted to do with Qi Xiuhong? That's really inconvenient! Sikong Wuwei and Zhao Fei looked at each other and nodded repeatedly: "Go and wash up, go and wash up!"
The two of them quickly followed Wang Yuetian.
How could Miao Yi and Qi Xiuhong not understand the meaning of the words between the three of them. Qi Xiuhong's cheeks turned red. Miao Yi also couldn't laugh or cry, thinking to himself, how could I mean that? How could I be in the mood to do that just after settling down.
"I'll ask Qi Xiuhong to prepare some food and wine, and wait until you three come back after washing up." Miao Yi shouted to prove his innocence.
The three of them paid no attention to them and were already walking towards the mountain. Miao Yi had no choice but to look back at Qi Xiuhong, who immediately turned away with red cheeks and said, "I'll prepare the food and wine!"
In a clear pool in the mountains, Sikong Wuwei and the other three had already stripped half naked and soaked in the cool water.
"Cool and comfortable!" Sikong Wuwei breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned against the shore.
Wang Yuetian poured water on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Brother Miao is the most comfortable. When we come to the Xingxu Haikan Rebellion Party, we can still have the leisure to have a woman by our side to serve us. I can't compare to such leisurely elegance."
Zhao Fei smiled and said: "This shows that he regards the dangers of Xingxiu Sea as nothing. Doesn't it mean that it is safer for us to follow him if he can be so leisurely and elegant?"
Being here and separated from the Red Scarf Alliance, the three of them couldn't help but talk about what to do in the future.
When smoke started rising from the cottage, Wang Yuetian's eyes moved slightly and he said to the two of them: "Are we too relaxed? What should we do if someone attacks us? You guys wash your hands here slowly. I'll go to the mountain first today." Go on duty."
Sikong Wuwei, who was pulling his limbs in the water, said disapprovingly: "I just walked around the island and couldn't see any trace of anyone. It should be fine for the time being. There is no need to be so nervous."
"It's better to be careful." Wang Yuetian said as he stood up, cast spells to dry himself, picked up his clothes and put them on.
"There's nothing wrong with being careful." Zhao Fei nodded and said, "One person for one day, I will replace you tomorrow."
Seeing that Zhao Fei said the same thing, Sikong Wuwei could only say: "Then I'll do it the day after tomorrow."
After putting on his clothes, Wang Yuetian nodded, flew away, and disappeared into the forest.
However, he did not appear on the highest peak that could monitor the surrounding areas. Instead, he quickly circled back to the stronghold from the forest.
Seeing Qi Xiuhong busy in the kitchen, Wang Yuetian didn't bother him. He went straight to the cave where Miao Yi was, stood outside the cave and asked, "Brother Miao, is it convenient?"
Miao Yi was sorting out the things he had collected from Zhao Lingtu and others. Hearing this, he temporarily put away the things and replied, "Come in."
Wang Yuetian came in with a wine jar in his hand, placed the wine on the stone table, and sat opposite Miao Yi.
Miao Yi asked strangely: "Didn't you take a shower?"
"Hey! That guy Zhao Fei was too cautious and said he couldn't relax too much and wanted to look around again. That guy Sikong said it was boring to take a bath with a man, so he followed Zhao Fei around. I was left alone, which was just right. Seeing the smoke coming from the cottage, I guess we had a misunderstanding, so we just washed up and came back." Wang Yuetian patted the wine jar on the table, "I heard you asked Sister Qi to prepare wine and food, and I thought of myself here. I happened to have a jar of good wine, so I took it out and tasted it with Brother Miao." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
