Dragon Pattern Roll Set
Chapter 436 [Blue Ash]
At the gate of Kaifeng City, Zou Liang stopped the troops of the brigade. Just as Lin Yehuo got off Daidai's back, he saw a small figure in the air rushing towards him, "Turkey!"
Lin Yehuo looked at the sky, and reached out to catch Xiao Liang who was rushing towards him.Originally, I wanted to say a few words about him, to save face for my uncle in public, but Lin Yehuo weighed it up, then put Xiao Liangzi on the ground, stretched out his hand and pressed the top of his head, compared with himself, and raised his eyebrows, " Oh? Have you grown taller?"
Xiao Liangzi was proud, and Zou Liang dismounted too, thinking that Xiao Liangzi had grown a little taller.
At this moment, another voice was heard, "Zou Zou! Xiao Linzi!"
Zou Liangyelin Yehuo raised his head, at the gate of the city, Zhao Pu also arrived, in front of a carriage, helping the Empress Dowager to get off the carriage.The fourth son has already run over.
Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang took a visual inspection of the fourth son's size, and nodded - as expected, he still didn't grow taller, he was still a short dumpling, and he always felt that he would always be a dumpling.
When the emperor and concubine got out of the carriage, Zhao Pu's Dadan also got out of the carriage... It was inevitable for the father and daughter to hug each other and cry.
Old General Ouyang also came, and reunited with Zou Yue after a long absence, it can be described as mixed feelings.
The scene was lively and touching. Lin Yehuo stuffed the fourth son and Liangzi into the carriage, and Yiyi also followed, and put his arms around the fourth son in the carriage.
Yiyi, who has never been out of the house, still sees everything fresh, and Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi are going to take her to Kaifeng to have a good time.
There was a lot of noise around, Lin Yehuo also got into the carriage, and the carriage drove into Kaifeng with the brigade.
Lin Yehuo didn't know where he heard the news, so he lay down in the carriage and asked Xiaosi and Xiaoliangzi, "I heard that Kaifeng Mansion is haunted?"
The two children chattered about what happened.
Master Wusha, who had been resting in the carriage with his eyes closed and meditating in the shape of Maitreya Buddha, did not know if he had woken up. He opened his eyes and looked at the two children, and asked, "The whole person has shrunk into the gap in the wall? Silk thread to control the lantern? The soul flies away, leaving only ice slag?"
Xiaosizi and Xiaoliangzi nodded.
Master Wusha touched his chin lightly, and said "Oh..." inexplicably.Then he asked, "Where are Yinhou and Tianzun?"
Xiao Liangzi thought for a while, "It's still in the Kaifeng Mansion...but they said they were going to drink tea yesterday afternoon, and they might be on the boat on the river. The white one is the boat on the empty island."
Master Wusha nodded, and went to Huafang to find them.
Lin Yehuo narrowed his eyes and watched Master Wusha disappear in a flash, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mystery..."
On the other side, as high-ranking officials, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun also went to the palace to attend a banquet.
Bai Yutang didn't have much interest, and he didn't like to join in the fun, so he couldn't talk about it. It happened that he still had to deal with the matter of the empty island. Bai Fu had told him earlier that he had to go back to the Bai Mansion when he was free. .
Zhan Zhao was unwilling. On the one hand, he had no interest in going to the dinner party. There were many noisy etiquettes, but it was impossible not to go.It might be fun to have Bai Yutang around, but if Bai Yutang doesn't go, he can only sit stupidly by himself.Zhan Zhao was going to take the opportunity to go to the Four Seas Palace to see how the walls were demolished.
……
After everyone in Kaifeng Mansion left, Bai Yutang returned to his room, ready to call Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er back to Bai Mansion.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw two big boxes at the door, and the two girls were arranging their clothes.
Bai Yutang walked over and looked inside the box curiously.
Chen Xing'er took some well-made white robes and stuffed them to Bai Yutang, "Master, go change."
Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, "Why change clothes?"
"Madam sent it over this morning, it's time for a change of season." Chen Xing'er said, "The one on your body is also thick, so we'll take it back to the White Mansion and keep it in the Kaifeng Mansion wardrobe."
Bai Yutang looked up at the sky—as expected, the Kaifeng Mansion was still...too simple.
Bai Yutang took the clothes and went into the room to change, and asked Chen Xing'er, "Where's my master?"
"Tianzun and Yin Hou both went to the painting boat to drink tea, saying that it was too noisy outside." Seeing Bai Yutang's slow-moving, Chen Xing'er hurriedly pushed him behind the screen, "Hurry up, young master! We both have a lot of things to do today busy!"
Yue Ya'er also nodded at the side, quickly arranging his clothes, "I will make sweet wine for Tianzun in a while, and he said he suddenly wanted to eat it."
Bai Yutang changed his clothes behind the screen, "Aren't you two going to the White Mansion?"
"Go at night." The two girls came in and out, and Bai Yutang didn't want to disturb their work, so he changed his clothes and came out, handing the robe to Yue Ya'er.
Yue Ya'er glanced at Bai Yutang, smiled and nodded, "Oh! These new ones look good!"
Chen Xing'er also held her face in her hands and commented - as expected, his young master has a good face and figure, and looks good in everything he wears!
As a rich man in the true sense, Bai Yutang has always been particular about food and clothing, especially his mother Lu Xueer, who loves beauty as much as her life, not to mention that she looks good, but she naturally thought of ways to give birth to such a beautiful son Get him nice clothes to wear.
The two girls admired their young master for a while, and then continued to work contentedly.
Bai Yutang felt that he was in the way, so he asked, "Where's the ledger that Bai Fu brought yesterday? I'll take it to the Baifu."
"Master, you want to go back to the White Mansion?!" Chen Xing'er jumped.
When Bai Yutang understood, a stack of ledgers and two large bags of clothes were stuffed in his hands.
"Take this to the White Mansion to clean up for the maid." After Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er finished speaking, they rushed to the backyard with two pots in hand, and went on to do other work.
Bai Yutang took the two bags of clothes and sighed, turned and went to the stable, ready to take Bai Yunfan with him.
But as soon as he arrived at the gate of the stable, Uncle Chen, who was in charge of taking care of the horses in Kaifeng Mansion, hurried out to stop him, "Hey! Fifth Lord, it's not easy to enter now!"
Bai Yutang looked confused, "Why?"
"I'm busy." Uncle Chen blinked.
Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Who is busy?"
"Ahem." Uncle Chen said in a low voice, "Your Bai Yunfan and Mr. Zhan have a lot."
Bai Yutang was stunned, "What are they busy with?"
The old man made Bai Yutang amused, and said, "Oh, I said young master, spring is here, the horse is right, but it's about to be bred!"
Bai Yutang was dumbfounded, and then he was surprised, "Duoduo and Bai Yunfan?"
The old man nodded.
Bai Yutang scratched his head, thinking that it's not bad...the two horses are always stuck together, it's a good thing to have a foal...but what are you riding these days?
"Fifth Master." Uncle Chen was still wondering, "You want to ride a horse? Don't you have a dragon rider?"
Bai Yutang thought for a second - that's right!Let them have cubs, during this time he and Zhan Zhao can use Yaoyao instead of transportation.
So, Fifth Master turned around and went to "Meow Meow Building".
But after searching inside and out, Yaoyao was not there.
Bai Yutang asked Xiaoyu passing by, "Where is Yaoyao?"
Xiaoyu is also busy. It seems that Zou Yue's old house needs to be repaired. During this time, he and Yiyi will temporarily live in Kaifeng Mansion, so they have to tidy up a yard.
"I went out with Tianzun and the others." Xiaoyu replied while running.
Bai Yutang is helpless, he can't ride other horses, Bai Yunfan has a big temper and has a good nose.He had tried it before, and Bai Yunfan could usually smell it when he rode other horses, and then he would quarrel for a while.Recently, because of Yaoyao, Bai Yunfan has been making trouble for a while, but he just got better recently, Bai Yutang doesn't want to mess with him anymore.
So, after the welcoming team left, people saw the handsome Bai Wuye walking leisurely with two big bags in his hands on the somewhat empty Kaifeng Street.
On Kaifengfu Street, many people were watching, but no one dared to speak to them... It's also interesting to say that if Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao walk together on the street, the person who talks to Zhan Zhao will also talk to Bai Yutang. Chat for a few words, and then usually feel emotional, Fifth Master is actually quite easy to get along with.
Bai Yutang walked lazily on the street, but his mind was still thinking about what happened this morning.He himself absolutely does not believe in the bizarre saying that the soul of a person comes to Kaifeng Mansion to seek justice after death, but how did he do it?Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion was there at that time, the key is that Tianzun and Yinhou were also there.
Thinking of this, Bai Yutang was also a little puzzled—not talking about Yin Hou, just talking about his master's curiosity, there is no reason why he didn't find out right now and went to drink tea with Yin Hou, it seems that the two of them knew it well.
Bai Yutang was distracted, and soon arrived at the gate of the Baifu. Bai Fu just came out, and he was surprised, "Oh, what did you get?"
Bai Yutang gave two large bags of clothes to Bai Fu.
"Those two girls are going to die." Bai Fu held the clothes in his hands and scolded the two girls for letting Bai Yutang run errands. They are all spoiled, no big or small.
Bai Yutang took the ledger and went to the warehouse. This time, the empty island bought a batch of ice jade mirrors and some jade jewelry at a high price. It seems that Lu Fang is planning to open a jade shop. Bai Yutang has a lot of research on these, so let's compare By the way, give Lu Fang a price list for takeaway.
Bai Yutang saw a table of all kinds of jade and jewelry spread out in the storeroom, and somehow felt that he seemed to be useful, not a young master who only knew how to "prodigal".
There were many rough stones on the table. When Bai Yutang picked them up to identify them, he found that there was a piece of paper under the rough stones, on which was a pattern designed according to the shape of the rough stones.
There is still a wide network of contacts on the empty island, many of which are written by famous jade carvers, and there are also some short paintings by famous Danqing masters, all of which are interesting.
Bai Yutang has been investigating cases in Kaifeng Mansion, but Bai Yutang hasn't been elegant for a long time.
Finding a chair to sit down, Fifth Master was stunned at a piece of rough green jadeite.
Bai Fu brought his favorite tea, and said to Bai Yutang, "Fifth Master, this stone master said that he plans to carve a group of Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and use it as the treasure of the store."
Bai Yutang nodded, "It is indeed a good piece of jade, but the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is too common, many people carve this."
"This one is different." Bai Fu took out a drawing and showed it to Bai Yutang, "Look at this."
After Bai Yutang took the manuscript, he was a little surprised, "This..."
"Ingenious, right?" Bai Fu knew that Bai Yutang would be interested, "This kind of painting is called Shuiyue Jinghua. It is said that when painting, one always looks at the mirror to draw, and then the painting is reversed. In the end, after it was carved into a real object, it was placed in the water, and then... huh?"
Before Bai Fu finished speaking, Bai Yutang suddenly stood up, stuffed the jade into his hand, and rushed out with the sketch.
"Fifth Master..." Bai Fu chased him into the yard, but Bai Yutang had disappeared.
"Alas..." Bai Fu sighed and shook his head, no need to ask, he must have thought of some clues that can help Mr. Zhan solve the case.If it was put in the past, the young master of his family would be very interested to see how he drew it, and get some pictures for collection. This time is good.Bai Fu shook his head and cleaned up the things on the table, guessing that Bai Yutang would not think about this again for a while, but Bai Yutang came back again.
Just as Bai Fu wanted to ask, he saw Bai Yutang searching around the table, and finally picked up the best ice jade mirror and ran away.
Bai Fu continued to sigh - I don't know if the mirror can come back completely...
Bai Yutang hurried back to Kaifeng with the mirror in his hand. While walking, he lowered his head and thought about it. He thought of a way to explain the phenomenon of "ghosts" that appeared these days.
Bai Yutang walked in a hurry, just as he turned the corner and walked towards Kaifeng Mansion, suddenly a person... walked past him.
Bai Yutang had already walked over, but he felt something was wrong.
Fifth Master suddenly turned his head, but there was no one around, and no one walked behind him.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, was it an illusion?When he walked with his head down just now, someone brushed past him.The man was wearing a light blue-gray robe, and when he passed by him, Bai Yutang felt a cold air inexplicably, this cold air should be caused by internal force.
Bai Yutang was lowering his head, so he didn't see the face clearly, but he saw the man's hand first.
He didn't know if he was wearing gloves or what, but the back of his hand turned out to be blue-gray.
Fifth Master raised his head in doubt, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the man was extremely tall, much higher than the average Central Plains person, and the most weird thing was.At the moment when he passed by, Bai Yutang saw his face in profile... He didn't see the facial features or even the outline of the profile clearly, because Fifth Master's full attention was attracted by the complexion of that face— -grey blue!
All this happened too quickly, and when Bai Yutang turned around...the man was gone.
With doubts, Bai Yutang walked into the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and ran into Chen Xing'er who was running back to the mansion.
"Eh? Master, you came back so soon?" Chen Xing'er was holding a jar of distiller's grains, presumably to prepare sweet wine for Tianzun.
Bai Yutang remained silent.
Chen Xing'er tilted her head and looked up at her young master, "What's wrong with you, young master? Who messed with you?"
Bai Yutang came back to his senses, looked at Chen Xing'er, and asked, "Have you lived in Icefield Island for a long time?"
Chen Xing'er nodded. She and Yue Ya'er were brought up by Lu Xueer. Although Lu Xueer lived in Yingxue Palace, she would often go back to the extreme northern ice field island to accompany Lu Tianhan, so the two sisters would naturally go with her.
Bai Yutang asked, "Do you still remember the icy lake where you can skate?"
"Of course I remember." Chen Xing'er nodded, "Yue Ya'er falls every time."
Bai Yutang also remembered that he was a few years older than Yueya'er and Chen Xing'er. He still remembered the first time he saw Chen Xing'er and Yueya'er. It was when he went back to Iceland Island when he was a child and saw two little girls skating on the ice lake. One was chubby. One of them was so skinny that they both fell and rolled.
Ice Lake is a perennially frozen lake on the Icefield Island in the extreme north. Except for the hot springs on the Icefield Island, all the water is frozen, and the rivers, lakes and seas are all frozen to the bottom, without exception.
Bai Yutang asked Chen Xing'er, "Have you two ever been to Shenyu Valley?"
Chen Xing'er nodded persistently, "I've been there! That shark is so pretty!"
Bai Yutang frowned, "That's a mackerel."
Chen Xing'er pouted, "But his body looks like a human being!"
Bai Yutang remained silent... This story has to be said many years ago. The Deep Shark Valley is a ravine in the Frozen Lake. I don't know how it was formed, but you can walk to the bottom of the lake.The bottom of the lake is also frozen, below the ice surface of Deep Shark Valley, at an unknown depth, there is a frozen shark about the length of two people.
The shark lowered its head and folded its long tail, as if it turned around suddenly while swimming and was frozen.
Because the bottom of the water is too deep and the light at the bottom of the ice valley is not very good, only the outline of a shark can be seen.It's really like what Chen Xing'er said, at first glance, it looks like a frozen person... Although the tail of the fish can be seen, who knows if it is formed after the tails of a person and a big fish overlap?
Bai Yutang asked Tianzun and Lu Tianhan, both of them said that it was a mackerel in the ice lake, which was extinct.
At that time, what impressed Bai Yutang the most was the blue-gray skin of the shark under the ice.
"That must be personal!" Seeing Bai Yutang in a daze, Chen Xing'er whispered, "And that should be the legendary merman, the one with the long tail!"
Bai Yutang frowned, "Is it the legendary deep-sea merman who capsized the fishing boat?"
Chen Xing'er nodded, "That must be a little shark, the big one is as big as a boat!"
"How do you know?" Bai Yutang was curious.
Chen Xing'er folded her arms, "Fifth Master, you came from the empty island anyway, you don't listen to the things that the fishermen usually talk about?"
Bai Yutang was puzzled, "What have you heard?"
"I heard from Uncle Zhong that when he was young, he went out to sea with a large group of people to catch fish, and encountered a dead mermaid."
"Dead?" Bai Yutang was surprised.
"Yeah!" Chen Xing'er nodded, "Uncle Zhong said that the weather was fine that day, and they could see schools of fish under the sea in the sea...they were sailing, and suddenly, they saw a hand the size of a tabletop. Webbed, blue and transparent!"
Bai Yutang frowned, motioning for Chen Xing'er to continue.
Uncle Zhong said, "He climbed onto the mast of the boat and saw a man lying on his stomach in the water. His tail grew longer, his body was still blue, and his hair was also long. He floated on the water and was bigger than their boats. His body was like a fish. I ate half of it."
Bai Yutang looked at her, and said, "Uncle Zhong didn't talk nonsense after three glasses of wine. Are his words credible? Did he mix it up in a dream?"
Chen Xing'er pouted, "Anyway, I look like a human being." After speaking, she went to the kitchen with the wine lees jar.
Bai Yutang watched Chen Xing'er run away, but he was full of doubts in his heart—I don't know why, the moment he passed by just now, the blue-gray, almost transparent skin color, and the faintly visible blood vessels under the skin were really amazing. It is very similar to the shark that was frozen at the bottom of the ice lake that I saw when I was a child... Or am I thinking too much?Is it just some kind of disease, or poisoning, or going crazy or something?
Bai Yutang shook his head, looked at the mirror in his hand, and decided to try the method of "flying away the soul".
Lin Yehuo looked at the sky, and reached out to catch Xiao Liang who was rushing towards him.Originally, I wanted to say a few words about him, to save face for my uncle in public, but Lin Yehuo weighed it up, then put Xiao Liangzi on the ground, stretched out his hand and pressed the top of his head, compared with himself, and raised his eyebrows, " Oh? Have you grown taller?"
Xiao Liangzi was proud, and Zou Liang dismounted too, thinking that Xiao Liangzi had grown a little taller.
At this moment, another voice was heard, "Zou Zou! Xiao Linzi!"
Zou Liangyelin Yehuo raised his head, at the gate of the city, Zhao Pu also arrived, in front of a carriage, helping the Empress Dowager to get off the carriage.The fourth son has already run over.
Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang took a visual inspection of the fourth son's size, and nodded - as expected, he still didn't grow taller, he was still a short dumpling, and he always felt that he would always be a dumpling.
When the emperor and concubine got out of the carriage, Zhao Pu's Dadan also got out of the carriage... It was inevitable for the father and daughter to hug each other and cry.

There was a lot of noise around, Lin Yehuo also got into the carriage, and the carriage drove into Kaifeng with the brigade.

……
After everyone in Kaifeng Mansion left, Bai Yutang returned to his room, ready to call Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er back to Bai Mansion.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw two big boxes at the door, and the two girls were arranging their clothes.
Bai Yutang walked over and looked inside the box curiously.
Chen Xing'er took some well-made white robes and stuffed them to Bai Yutang, "Master, go change."

Bai Yutang looked up at the sky—as expected, the Kaifeng Mansion was still...too simple.
Bai Yutang took the clothes and went into the room to change, and asked Chen Xing'er, "Where's my master?"
"Tianzun and Yin Hou both went to the painting boat to drink tea, saying that it was too noisy outside." Seeing Bai Yutang's slow-moving, Chen Xing'er hurriedly pushed him behind the screen, "Hurry up, young master! We both have a lot of things to do today busy!"
Yue Ya'er also nodded at the side, quickly arranging his clothes, "I will make sweet wine for Tianzun in a while, and he said he suddenly wanted to eat it."

Bai Yutang thought for a second - that's right!Let them have cubs, during this time he and Zhan Zhao can use Yaoyao instead of transportation.
So, Fifth Master turned around and went to "Meow Meow Building".
But after searching inside and out, Yaoyao was not there.
Bai Yutang asked Xiaoyu passing by, "Where is Yaoyao?"
Xiaoyu is also busy. It seems that Zou Yue's old house needs to be repaired. During this time, he and Yiyi will temporarily live in Kaifeng Mansion, so they have to tidy up a yard.
"I went out with Tianzun and the others." Xiaoyu replied while running.

There were many rough stones on the table. When Bai Yutang picked them up to identify them, he found that there was a piece of paper under the rough stones, on which was a pattern designed according to the shape of the rough stones.

Bai Yutang walked in a hurry, just as he turned the corner and walked towards Kaifeng Mansion, suddenly a person... walked past him.
Bai Yutang had already walked over, but he felt something was wrong.
Fifth Master suddenly turned his head, but there was no one around, and no one walked behind him.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, was it an illusion?When he walked with his head down just now, someone brushed past him.The man was wearing a light blue-gray robe, and when he passed by him, Bai Yutang felt a cold air inexplicably, this cold air should be caused by internal force.
Bai Yutang was lowering his head, so he didn't see the face clearly, but he saw the man's hand first.
He didn't know if he was wearing gloves or what, but the back of his hand turned out to be blue-gray.
Fifth Master raised his head in doubt, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the man was extremely tall, much higher than the average Central Plains person, and the most weird thing was.At the moment when he passed by, Bai Yutang saw his face in profile... He didn't see the facial features or even the outline of the profile clearly, because Fifth Master's full attention was attracted by the complexion of that face— -grey blue!
All this happened too quickly, and when Bai Yutang turned around...the man was gone.
With doubts, Bai Yutang walked into the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and ran into Chen Xing'er who was running back to the mansion.
"Eh? Master, you came back so soon?" Chen Xing'er was holding a jar of distiller's grains, presumably to prepare sweet wine for Tianzun.
Bai Yutang remained silent.
Chen Xing'er tilted her head and looked up at her young master, "What's wrong with you, young master? Who messed with you?"
Bai Yutang came back to his senses, looked at Chen Xing'er, and asked, "Have you lived in Icefield Island for a long time?"
Chen Xing'er nodded. She and Yue Ya'er were brought up by Lu Xueer. Although Lu Xueer lived in Yingxue Palace, she would often go back to the extreme northern ice field island to accompany Lu Tianhan, so the two sisters would naturally go with her.
Bai Yutang asked, "Do you still remember the icy lake where you can skate?"
"Of course I remember." Chen Xing'er nodded, "Yue Ya'er falls every time."
Bai Yutang also remembered that he was a few years older than Yueya'er and Chen Xing'er. He still remembered the first time he saw Chen Xing'er and Yueya'er. It was when he went back to Iceland Island when he was a child and saw two little girls skating on the ice lake. One was chubby. One of them was so skinny that they both fell and rolled.
Ice Lake is a perennially frozen lake on the Icefield Island in the extreme north. Except for the hot springs on the Icefield Island, all the water is frozen, and the rivers, lakes and seas are all frozen to the bottom, without exception.
Bai Yutang asked Chen Xing'er, "Have you two ever been to Shenyu Valley?"
Chen Xing'er nodded persistently, "I've been there! That shark is so pretty!"
Bai Yutang frowned, "That's a mackerel."
Chen Xing'er pouted, "But his body looks like a human being!"
Bai Yutang remained silent... This story has to be said many years ago. The Deep Shark Valley is a ravine in the Frozen Lake. I don't know how it was formed, but you can walk to the bottom of the lake.The bottom of the lake is also frozen, below the ice surface of Deep Shark Valley, at an unknown depth, there is a frozen shark about the length of two people.
The shark lowered its head and folded its long tail, as if it turned around suddenly while swimming and was frozen.
Because the bottom of the water is too deep and the light at the bottom of the ice valley is not very good, only the outline of a shark can be seen.It's really like what Chen Xing'er said, at first glance, it looks like a frozen person... Although the tail of the fish can be seen, who knows if it is formed after the tails of a person and a big fish overlap?
Bai Yutang asked Tianzun and Lu Tianhan, both of them said that it was a mackerel in the ice lake, which was extinct.
At that time, what impressed Bai Yutang the most was the blue-gray skin of the shark under the ice.
"That must be personal!" Seeing Bai Yutang in a daze, Chen Xing'er whispered, "And that should be the legendary merman, the one with the long tail!"
Bai Yutang frowned, "Is it the legendary deep-sea merman who capsized the fishing boat?"
Chen Xing'er nodded, "That must be a little shark, the big one is as big as a boat!"
"How do you know?" Bai Yutang was curious.
Chen Xing'er folded her arms, "Fifth Master, you came from the empty island anyway, you don't listen to the things that the fishermen usually talk about?"
Bai Yutang was puzzled, "What have you heard?"
"I heard from Uncle Zhong that when he was young, he went out to sea with a large group of people to catch fish, and encountered a dead mermaid."
"Dead?" Bai Yutang was surprised.
"Yeah!" Chen Xing'er nodded, "Uncle Zhong said that the weather was fine that day, and they could see schools of fish under the sea in the sea...they were sailing, and suddenly, they saw a hand the size of a tabletop. Webbed, blue and transparent!"
Bai Yutang frowned, motioning for Chen Xing'er to continue.
Uncle Zhong said, "He climbed onto the mast of the boat and saw a man lying on his stomach in the water. His tail grew longer, his body was still blue, and his hair was also long. He floated on the water and was bigger than their boats. His body was like a fish. I ate half of it."
Bai Yutang looked at her, and said, "Uncle Zhong didn't talk nonsense after three glasses of wine. Are his words credible? Did he mix it up in a dream?"
Chen Xing'er pouted, "Anyway, I look like a human being." After speaking, she went to the kitchen with the wine lees jar.
Bai Yutang watched Chen Xing'er run away, but he was full of doubts in his heart—I don't know why, the moment he passed by just now, the blue-gray, almost transparent skin color, and the faintly visible blood vessels under the skin were really amazing. It is very similar to the shark that was frozen at the bottom of the ice lake that I saw when I was a child... Or am I thinking too much?Is it just some kind of disease, or poisoning, or going crazy or something?
Bai Yutang shook his head, looked at the mirror in his hand, and decided to try the method of "flying away the soul".
