The devil is below, I am the master

In an instant, Wen Ran only felt a touch of warmth across the corner of his mouth.

"..."

When Wen Ran fully reacted, the corner of his mouth had already rubbed against the skin next to Bai Zhe's ear.

He was so frightened that he pushed down suddenly, wanting to get up quickly.

However, there was another tremor immediately afterwards, and Wen Ran's body was completely out of control, and instead fell headfirst.

Naturally, Bai Zhe also felt this strange movement, and immediately hugged Wen Ran by the waist, then turned over with Wen Ran in his arms, and pressed Wen Ran under him.

With the wave of his right hand, the clam shell opened wide.

Bai Zhe quickly stepped out to confirm the situation outside.

It happened that some shrimp soldiers and crab generals also rushed over - they were sent by Prime Minister Gui to check on the safety of the guests.

"What's the matter?" Wen Ran couldn't care less about the embarrassment, and crawled out of the shell.

The shrimp soldier and the crab general replied: "You guys don't know, the Dragon King has already gone outside the Dragon Palace to check the situation."

Bai Zhe turned his head to Wen Ran and said, "You wait for me here."

After speaking, he quickly walked out the door.

Wen Ran was almost ordered to stay where she was. Seeing Bai Zhe's black figure walk out, she felt inexplicable and panicked.

It feels weird.

Not long after, Bai Zhe came back.

"How is it?" Wen Ran asked eagerly.

The movement just now was a bit big, and it caused him quite a bit of embarrassment.

Bai Zhe's expression was very calm, but he just replied: "The Dragon King went out to have a look, and said that Lang Weixian had a nightmare, which caused the agitation."

"Huh? Nightmare can cause such a big shock?" Wen Ran felt a little suspenseful.

Bai Zhe was also quite concerned, "I also feel that the Dragon King is not telling the truth."

But according to today's situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to dig out anything from the Dragon King's mouth.

"When Lang Weixian wakes up tomorrow, shall we ask him again?"

"Okay." Bai Zhe replied.

"Then we now..." Wen Ran saw that it was still dark outside, and then glanced at the clam shell that had caused a lot of embarrassment just now, and couldn't continue speaking no matter what.

"Sleep." Bai Zhe continued for him.

It's rare that Bai Zhe wants to sleep so actively.

Lying back in the clam shell, the two of them lay quietly on their backs.

No one speaks.

Bai Zhe's breathing sound was almost non-existent, with Wen Ran's cultivation, he couldn't even notice it.

The apprentice's cultivation has really improved a lot...

As a master, he is under more and more pressure.

Wen Ran couldn't help but think back to the "a rub" that he accidentally bumped into just now, it could already be regarded as kissing the skin next to the ear of the other party.

At that time, the soft touch was lingering, but it made his heart beat faster.

Well, how embarrassing.

He no longer knew how to face Bai Zhe in the future.

The last time I was in Da Mingen Mansion was because I wanted to suppress Bai Zhe's Moge, but this time?

Wen Ran's whole body curled up, extremely uncomfortable.

At this time, only the rustling sound of clothes rubbing beside him was heard, and in the darkness, Bai Zhe actually leaned over gently.

Immediately felt a heat behind the ears.

"Don't sleep?"

The sound at close range tore through the silence in this confined space.

"Sleep... sleep right now." Wen Ranqiang closed his eyes and stammered.

"You are very hot."

When Wen Ran heard these words, she was almost terrified.

How did he know that he was steaming all over at the moment? !

In fact, from Bai Zhe's point of view, Wen Ran at this moment is probably like a shrimp lying in a steamer.

Wen Ran turned her head to the other side, not wanting the other party to see herself so clearly.

Outside the shells, there is the sound of slowly flowing water and foam.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Ran, with his neck tilted, finally slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Only Bai Zhe looked at the top of the clam shell with his bright red eyes, as if he was also thinking about something.

……

The night passed.

It was rare for Wen Ran to wake up early this morning.

He was anxious to see the unconscious Lang Weixian.

It's a pity that he went too early, Lang Weixian didn't show any sign of soberness.

Wen Ran had no choice but to retreat first. At this time, Xiao Xiami, who was in charge of taking care of Lang Weixian, suggested: "Xiao Xianjun, you can go and watch the sunrise on the sea!"

It's a good idea to pass the time.

Wen Ran ran back and pulled Bai Zhe along to watch the sunrise together.

This time, Bai Zhe quickly agreed.

It's a little chilly in the morning in the East China Sea.

The sea breeze is mixed with the unique smell of sea salt. Wen Ran walked on the shore, bathed in the rising sun, and played with small crabs.

Bai Zhe, who had been silently following behind him, suddenly turned his head.

"Someone is coming," he reminded.

"Ah?" Wen Ran was stunned for a moment, then put down the little crab in his hand, and stood up.

After turning around, I saw an old fisherman in plain clothes dragging his fishing tools towards this side.

The old fisherman seemed rather surprised when he saw Wen Ran and Bai Zhe appearing here: "Aren't you two locals?"

Wen Ran nodded: "We just came here yesterday."

"Well, I also think that you probably don't know - the East China Sea is not quiet recently, you young people should not come here to play." The old fisherman saw that they did not look like they were fishing for a living.

Wen Ran asked strangely after hearing the words: "Then why do you still come out to fish?"

"I don't fish, what do I eat?" The old fisherman said with a vicissitudes on his face, "The weather on the sea is changeable these days, and the young fishermen come out late. They are quicker than me. If I don't come out, what can I do?" I can't even catch it."

"Sure enough, everyone is scared, right?" Wen Ran asked.

Old fisherman: "That's not true. Many of our villagers thought it was the Dragon King's manifestation. They thought they had accidentally offended the Dragon King, and even came to kowtow to pay the Dragon King—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a noise from the direction of the village not far away.

Wen Ran looked from a distance, and it seemed that a group of villagers were rushing here with something.

The voice gradually became more and more miserable, and a woman's cry was also mixed in.

Wen Ran took a closer look, and saw that the person escorted by those villagers was actually a young woman.

Right now the woman is being put into a cage and being carried towards the sea.

"...What are they doing?" Wen Ran hurriedly asked the old fisherman.

The old fisherman also seemed to be taken aback, and his wrinkled face couldn't hide his surprise. "This... This is to..."

"Soak the pig cage." Bai Zhe said suddenly.

"Soak the pig cage?!" Wen Ran had seen this saying before when he was reading mortal books.

Pig cages were originally used to transport livestock such as pigs, and the mortal world would stuff women who made mistakes into pig cages and throw them into the water.

Let her soak for a while if she made a minor mistake, and lift it out when she is frightened.

If it is a serious mistake...then tie a stone and go straight to the bottom of the water.

I didn't expect the villages on the East China Sea to have such a custom.

Wen Ran frowned, did this woman make such a disastrous mistake to be thrown into the sea like this?

The woman in the pig cage kept crying and begging the villagers to let her go. She cried so hard that she struggled hard in the small cage.

The old fisherman sighed and explained: "This woman is a young widow. Her husband died of a sudden illness not long ago. Just after that, the East China Sea began to have frequent storms. The day before yesterday I heard a few younger generations talking in the village, saying that this woman Kefu Ke Village is very unknown and wants to send her to the Dragon King as an apology. Unexpectedly, the village chief actually agreed to do this."

"Her husband is dead, and she is a lonely woman. It's already miserable enough. How can she bully people like this?" Wen Ran thought that it might be because she didn't come to the human world often, and she didn't know much, so she was dumbfounded.

The storm in the East China Sea is mainly because of Lang Weixian, not because of this woman, is she good?

So Wen Ran rushed out to stop the villagers who were carrying the woman.

"Wait! You can't throw her into the sea!"

Most of the villagers who were blocked were young and middle-aged in the village. When they saw a man who looked like a young man rushing out suddenly, their eyes widened immediately.

One of the leading young men pointed at Wen Ran and reprimanded him, "Where did you come from? You came here to meddle in our village's affairs!"

The coastal villages on this side of the East China Sea are relatively conservative, and they also like to form groups. They don't welcome outsiders very much. They have always been in charge of their own village's affairs. Naturally, they don't like Wen Ran's sudden appearance of outsiders.

"Human life is a matter of nature, of course we have to take care of it." Wen Ran also took a step forward without giving in.

Seeing this, the elderly village chief stopped the man symbolically, but his face was obviously displeased: "This woman in Kefuke village has provoked the anger of the Dragon King of the East China Sea and caused storms all day long. Isn't she Should it be thrown into the sea?"

Wen Ran was caught in a tangle for a while, the villagers seemed very stubborn, it didn't make sense at all, the key point was that he couldn't really tell them that it was because of Lang Weixian, the son of King Clam Essence, and even he would have to be taken in by him as a monster. The sea went.

So he explained for a long time, repeatedly persuading it to be useless, but the group of ignorant villagers kept cursing Wen Ran, an outsider, for getting in the way, and insisted on throwing this unlucky woman into the sea.

Seeing that there were so many people on the other side, and the pig cage carrying the woman was about to enter the sea, Wen Ran had no choice but to perform a small fairy technique to prevent the woman's cage from floating out.

The villagers were shocked.

They obviously pressed the pig cage into the water and tied stones, so how could the cage neither float far nor sink? !

Wen Ran saw that they stopped for the time being, and took the opportunity to persuade them again, but unexpectedly, the leading man had a bad temper and was about to attack Wen Ran immediately——

The man came aggressively, his shoulders were almost double the width of Wen Ran, but he was stopped by Bai Zhe within two steps, and he was pressed down.

Now those villagers who were still ready to make a move finally didn't dare to do it again.

"A hero doesn't suffer from immediate losses. Let's take it back first." The old village head lowered his voice and said to the others.

His head was spinning quite quickly, and he was about to go home.

The old fisherman who had been watching from the side also came over and persuaded: "If you are like this, you might as well let her go first. They are all from the same village, so why do this? After all, it is a human life!"

Wen Ran also saw the needles: "If you don't let go, aren't you afraid of being punished by the gods? If the woman can't sink, it means that the Dragon King has no intention of taking her in."

The old village chief believed in these divine retributions the most. Hearing what they said, he recalled the strange scene just now, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Let it go! Let it go!" The old fisherman's wrinkled face showed even more vicissitudes, and his voice was full of helplessness.

The old village head looked at the old man who was about the same age as him, and then at the wind and waves in the East China Sea. In the end, maybe he was really scared, and he actually released the woman on the spot.

The woman who managed to escape the catastrophe hurried over to thank her.

Wen Ran saw that she was pitiful, and for some reason remembered the singer she met in Da Ming'en Mansion, so she took out some silver and handed it to her.

"These silver taels are well hidden, if it's really not possible, let's change to another village." Wen Ran urged.

The woman just wiped the tears from her face.

It turned out that after her husband died, people in the village began to dislike her. She felt that it was meaningless to live alone, and she had the idea of ​​committing suicide before.

But if she was thrown into the sea like this today, she would really die with an unwarranted infamy.

"There's no need to commit suicide." Wen Ran immediately stopped her after hearing this.

"When your husband was sick, you have been taking care of her wholeheartedly. As long as you have a clear conscience, don't keep thinking about it." The old fisherman knew her experience best.

"Oh, but everyone around me looks at me like that and talks about me. I really went to the East China Sea and planned to throw myself into the sea, but I didn't expect that I saw a strange thing on the sea that morning."
