Sea Mountain Bright Moon

At the beginning, the girl looked confused, half awake, but after her eyes swept across the faces of Liu Mengli and Han Lingsha one by one, she suddenly showed a look of panic, she woke up completely, and exclaimed: "You! Don't come here! "

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand from under the brocade quilt, pinched an unknown magic weapon, and a purple lightning bolt struck straight towards the two of them.

"Mengli, be careful!" Han Lingsha saw it clearly, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she pulled Liu Mengli and stepped back a few steps. The lightning bolt struck the floor tile with a muffled sound, and split the floor tile into a small hole. The scorched black shallow pit, if it is chopped on a person, it might be split into a ball of scorched flesh.

I didn't expect this girl to know magic spells. If she didn't react in time, she would have hurt Liu Mengli. Han Lingsha was furious, and looked at the terrified girl with a frown, "You!"

"Lingsha," Liu Mengli called softly, grabbed Han Lingsha who was about to explode, walked forward, looked at the girl, and said softly: "Little sister, we are not bad people. You don't have to be afraid of those who are not malicious to you."

The girl panicked at first, but seeing Liu Mengli's gentle expression, she calmed down, but she was still a little scared, she shrank to a corner of the couch, looked around, and said anxiously: "You, who are you? What kind of place is this? ?”

"My name is Liu Mengli," Liu Mengli said, "This is my good friend Han Lingsha, we saved you, little sister, do you remember what happened?"

"I..." The girl's words froze, she pondered for a while, and then said: "I only remember that a few people in black clothes broke into the island and kidnapped me. What happened afterwards... I don't remember. .”

"You were kidnapped by someone, that's it," Han Lingsha didn't hesitate, and told her how to save her.

The young girl listened quietly at first, then her expression was terrified and puzzled, when Han Lingsha finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, she said to Liu Mengli: "It turns out that the two sisters saved me, I treated you like that just now, I'm sorry, and, thank you, thank you."

"Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, you don't have to be polite, girl," Liu Mengli waved her hand slightly and said, "I just don't know what your name is, where you live, but how many people want to arrest you?"

"My name is Zhao Ling'er." The girl wiped her eyes and said, "I have been living on Fairy Island with my grandma. Those people, I don't know them. They suddenly found me that day and said that they would take me to meet them." Hierarch, I didn’t want to follow them, so I started fighting, and then I lost consciousness for some reason, and then I was always in a daze, and I was put in a bag when I woke up a few times, stuffy and hot, I don't know how long it took, but when I woke up again, I saw you."

Han Lingsha saw that Zhao Linger's expression was a little bit confused in horror, and she didn't seem to be fake, so she said, "Don't be afraid, those people will never find you anymore. Little girl... well, how about I call you Linger directly?" You can also call me Sister Han."

"En!" Zhao Ling'er nodded, looked at Han Lingsha and Liu Mengli again, and finally locked her eyes on the Wangshu Sword lying on the table behind them, and said in confusion: "Sister Han, Sister Liu , that... who is that sister? Why... is she not wearing any clothes?"

Both Han Lingsha and Liu Mengli were startled, Qi Qi looked back, only to see a light-colored sword light from Wang Shu, and Solanum nigrum slowly appeared, also looked at Zhao Ling'er with a surprised look and said: "Look Can you see me?"

"I can see it," Zhao Ling'er tilted her head, wondering, "Why can't you see it? Who are you? Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

"I'm Solanum nigrum, you can call me Xiaokui." Seeing that Zhao Ling'er could see her, Solanum nigrum no longer hid herself, and floated over generously, saying, "My clothes were burned when I was killed by the sword." No, so now it can only be like this, I am a ghost, ordinary people can't see me."

"Ah! So you're not human," Zhao Ling'er exclaimed instantly in surprise, but she didn't look scared at all, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you this."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Solanum nigrum shook her head.

Seeing that Solanum nigrum and Zhao Linger are both innocent and lovely girls, Han Lingsha couldn't help smiling, and was about to tell Liu Mengli that it would be great if she had such a younger sister, but Liu Mengli drooped her brows slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Suddenly, an old man's call sounded outside the door.

"Lier~Lier~"

Both Han Lingsha and Zhao Linger were startled, only to see Liu Mengli waved her hand lightly, and said softly: "You are here, what will I say to daddy later, you just need to cater to me, don't need to say more, understand ?”

"En." Han Lingsha nodded since she couldn't trust Liu Mengli, and looked down to see the small hole in the ground that was just opened by the lightning that Zhao Linger had just summoned. She was startled and hurriedly stepped on it.

Zhao Ling'er seemed to be quite shy, pulled the quilt to cover herself, only showing her small head, and muttered: "Okay, okay."

Looking at Zhao Linger with comforting eyes, Liu Mengli tidied up her clothes, then walked over and opened the door.

"Daddy."

"Oh, my dear daughter, you're all right," the slightly fat old man stepped in with a smile on his face, "Do you know that you've been sick these few days and shut yourself up, but you're so anxious that Daddy You didn’t let your mother come to see you, so she went out to burn incense and pray for you, if she knew you were well, she would be happy.”

Han Lingsha couldn't help being startled when she heard this, and she didn't know how much Liu Mingfu (Note ①) and Zun Niangzi cherished this daughter, but she was so worried about going to burn incense and pray to Buddha just because of a little wind and cold.

"It's because my son (Note ②) is unfilial, and my parents are bothered," Liu Mengli said while lowering her head, and helped Liu Shifeng into the house.

"Oh, it's good that you're all right, it's good that you're all right!" Liu Shifeng shook his head and sighed, when he raised his eyes, he saw Han Lingsha and Zhao Ling'er who were slightly embarrassed at the side, their expressions were startled and puzzled She looked at her daughter: "Li'er, this is..."

"Father, these two Miss Han Ling love Miss Han and her cousin, Miss Zhao Ling'er," Liu Mengli said softly.

"This junior has seen Liu...Liu Mingfu." Han Lingsha hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Oh, this Miss Han..." Liu Shifeng looked at Han Lingsha with a slightly hesitant expression, and said, "Looking at this old man, why is he so kind?"

Han Lingsha was startled, and looked at Liu Mengli.

Liu Mengli also glanced at Han Lingsha to signal her to be calm, and said, "Dad, do you still remember the wanted notice that the child drew for Dad a few days ago?"

"Ah? It's you! That female thief?!" Liu Shifeng reflected in an instant, and before Han Lingsha could speak, he called out to the outside: "Come here! Come here!"

"Wait a minute, Dad." Liu Mengli hurriedly pressed Liu Shifeng's arm, and said, "Listen to me, what happened a few days ago was a misunderstanding of Miss Han."

"What misunderstanding?" Liu Shifeng looked at Liu Mengli and said, "Li'er, why are you with this, this female thief again?"

What a female thief!You are a female thief!Your whole family are female thieves!I, Han Lingsha, am also a gangster who travels thousands of miles alone, who can come and go freely, how can I be compared with a few small thieves!

Han Lingsha raised her eyebrows, but when her eyes touched Liu Mengli, she suppressed her breath again. If she spoke at this time, it might cause Liu Mengli some trouble, and it's up to her to deal with it.

"Father, Miss Han is not a female thief, listen to me," Liu Mengli shook her head lightly, and said, "Miss Han and Miss Zhao are not from the local area. Missing the accommodation and sleeping in the wild, Miss Zhao was accidentally bitten by a poisonous tongue, Miss Han wanted to dig some medicinal herbs in order to save Miss Zhao, but she was accidentally seen by the farmer, who mistook Miss Han for a female thief."

"But later she escaped from the tea shed in the suburbs. I heard from Pei Jian that she was very skilled?"

Han Lingsha hurriedly said: "Mingjian from Liu Ming's mansion, Han Lingsha and her cousin once wandered in the rivers and lakes, and learned some juggling tricks, which are not brilliant martial arts. I wanted to bring some food back to my cousin in the tea shed that day, but instead Those who didn't know where they were were rounded up, I was worried that my cousin was injured and sick, and there was no one to take care of me, so I had to try to escape first, and I didn't deliberately avoid being hunted down."

"Later, Ms. Han and Ms. Zhao exhausted all their troubles and lived outside," Liu Mengli continued, "I felt better this morning, so I went out for a walk. I met the two of them in the suburbs, and I saw them alone. Yi, Miss Zhao was sick again, so she took them into the mansion first, asked the reason of the matter, talked with them for a while, felt that they were sincere, and unconsciously regarded them as friends, but forgot for a while. Report it to daddy, and ask daddy to forgive the child for not reporting it."

"So that's the case, Li'er, you are also kind-hearted, how could Daddy blame you," Liu Shifeng said with a smile while stroking the goatee's beard with one hand.

How could this father not doubt what his daughter said at all.

Han Lingsha stared dumbfoundedly at the smiling Liu Shifeng and Liu Mengli who was making up stories, her face was not flushed and she was not out of breath. Although she was extremely surprised, she didn't dare to show it clearly, but hurriedly said: "Liu Mingfu, look Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, the wanted notice posted outside..."

"Well, the old man will send someone to take down the wanted notice when I go back." Liu Shifeng nodded slightly, and then said to Liu Mengli: "But Li'er, don't you think it's because of your father that you want to go out for a walk, why don't you go out first?" Tell Weifu, let Weifu send a few people to take care of you, and even ran to the suburbs, now that the matter of Nu Luoyan has not been resolved, how can Weifu rest assured that you go to that kind of place alone."

"By the way, Dad, the matter about Nu Luoyan has actually been resolved, Dad, you can let the guards withdraw."

"What, it's solved?" Liu Shifeng was surprised when he heard the words, and said, "Could it be that Li'er, you..."

"I didn't do it, Daddy," Liu Mengli shook her head hurriedly and said, "It was Miss Han who stumbled into Nvluoyan by mistake last night in order to find herbs, but saw a sword fairy coming out of Nvluoyan, and told Miss Han that Nvluoyan The beasts that hurt people in Luoyan have been punished, and there is no need to be afraid of hurting people in the future. It's just that the people in Shouyang over-picked Li vanilla, which caused some beasts that were lurking in Nu Luoyan to feed on Li vanilla. Hurt people, in order to prevent similar things from happening again in the future, I also ask father to draw up clear laws to restrict the behavior of people picking grass."

"Yes, yes," Han Lingsha also chimed in: "The sword fairy also said that if similar things happen in the future, it will be a disaster caused by greed, and she will never take care of it."

"Well, since that's the case, then I'll draw up the regulations later," Liu Shifeng said, "I have to thank Mrs. Han for clearing Yizhuang's mind."

Han Lingsha hurriedly said: "No, I was just a sounding board. The one who really contributed to others is the senior Sword Immortal who didn't want to leave his name. Why does Liu Mingfu need to thank me?"

Now she can only follow Liu Mengli's words, but the strange thing is why Liu Mingfu trusts her daughter so much, she does whatever she wants, without any doubt, even doting, it's a little too much, right?

"Since Ms. Han and Ms. Zhao are friends of my Li'er, there is no need to be so polite. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Liu." Zhao Ling'er, who spoke, said: "Just now, Li'er, you said that this Miss Zhao is sick. I don't know what's going on now? Do you need to invite a doctor for a diagnosis and treatment?"

"How dare you, Uncle Liu," Han Lingsha hurriedly said, seeing that Zhao Ling'er was afraid to answer, she said again: "My cousin has been shy and shy since she was a child, I hope Uncle Liu will forgive me for being rude."

"Father, I have used medicine for Miss Zhao before, I just need to rest more," Liu Mengli also said.

"Good over there, if you need to rest, I won't bother you as a father," Liu Shifeng said, "I'll go and ask my servants to prepare two guest rooms for the two girls."

"That's going to help Dad."

"What are you being polite to my father!" Liu Shifeng glared at Liu Mengli with a doting look, and then smiled at Han Lingsha: "Since Miss Han's cousin is ill, she might as well hang around in the mansion more. For a few days, if you have any needs, just ask, as if you are in your own home, there is no need to be polite."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a maid outside reporting.

"Little lady, the meal is ready, I don't know where to eat?"

"Just put it in the pavilion outside. We'll be there later. Go down. You don't have to come in unless you're told."

"Yes, little lady, that servant girl (Note ③) has retired."

Han Lingsha smacked her tongue again, the servants of the Liu Mansion must be too disciplined in front of Liu Mengli, there are a few more people in the little lady's room, and they didn't even ask. Or they are usually more afraid of Liu Mengli.

But looking at Uncle Liu's amiable appearance, and looking at Liu Mengli who was indifferent and alienated when answering his servants, Han Lingsha was more inclined to the latter.

"Oh, so Li'er, you have asked the kitchen to prepare meals, so you don't have to worry about being a father," Liu Shifeng said: "You girls must have your own things to say, and Dad won't bother you here After a while, the guest room will be arranged, Daddy will let Luqiao come to inform you, Li'er, since you are in good health, if you want to go out later, don't forget to come and inform Daddy."

"Yes, the child understands."

Seeing Liu Mengli responding, Han Lingsha sent her father out of the door respectfully, and when she came back, she finally couldn't help laughing and said: "I said Mengli, your family is really strange, why does your father listen to you like that?" If you don’t, you will be what you say, and you, I still can’t see that you can lie so slickly, and I will take it seriously.”

"Miss Zhao's matter will take time to resolve. If I don't say so, I can't hide you in my room forever," Liu Mengli said lightly.

If I don't stay with you, I can still take Linger to the dormitory (Note ⑤).

Han Lingsha thought so, but didn't say it out, just looked at Liu Mengli and smiled.

But Liu Mengli seemed to have seen through Han Lingsha's thoughts, looked at her who was smiling, and said seriously: "Although you can also take Miss Zhao to the dormitory, but I don't know if those Miao people still have party members. Let them find Miss Zhao, what will they do if they don't keep it together? Lingsha, although you are good at martial arts, those Miao people are good at poisoning. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. It’s safest for you to live here for the time being.”

Seeing that Liu Mengli spoke clearly and logically, Han Lingsha just laughed. She didn't know why, but she always felt infinitely happy in her heart. She didn't want to investigate where this joy came from.

But Zhao Ling'er didn't think as much as Han Lingsha. She was pure-hearted, and she was only grateful to Liu Mengli: "Sister Liu, you are so thoughtful. For my sake, Ling'er is really sorry that I have to trouble you."

"Since Lingsha and I saved you, we should help you," Liu Mengli said with a smile, "I'm hungry after talking for a long time. Let's go eat first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

"Well, okay, I... Actually, I'm really hungry," Zhao Ling'er responded, smiled embarrassedly, lifted the quilt, and was about to stand up, but her feet were soft and she almost fell, but luckily Han Lingsha was close to her, and she reached out to support her.

"Slow down, you won't run away if you eat. You've been in a coma for too long and your blood is not smooth, so don't act too violently," Han Lingsha said with a smile to Liu Mengli while squatting down and putting on shoes for Zhao Linger: "Mengli, just now when you said that Ling'er is my cousin, I thought, if only I had such cute sisters as Xiao Kui and Ling'er, I really fell in love with them at the first sight. "

"Really?" As soon as Han Lingsha finished speaking, she saw Solanum nigrum popping out from Wang Shu's sword and rubbing against Han Lingsha, "Does elder sister Lingsha like Xiaokui?"

"That's natural," Han Lingsha said with a smile: "Sister Mengli also likes Xiaokui, you ask her if she is, Mengli..."

Han Lingsha looked at Liu Mengli, but saw her lowering her head and frowning, with a worried expression on her face, her heart skipped a beat, she didn't know why she was unhappy again.

"Mengli?"

But Liu Mengli raised her head in an instant, smiled and said: "That's natural, I also like Xiaokui and Ling'er very much, Lingsha, I have no brothers or sisters since I was young, I also think it would be great if I have such a well-behaved sister gone."

After saying that, he walked forward, took Zhao Linger's hand, and said: "That's why we have to be more careful, protect Linger home together, and find sister for Xiaokui."

"You're right, leave it to me!" Han Lingsha happily replied, but was taken aback for a moment.

What did she just say?Together?

The author has something to say: Because the background of this article is the Tang Dynasty, some nouns and the like are afraid that you will be confused, so I specially comment here

Note ① Mingfu: In the Tang Dynasty, the county magistrate was called Mingfu. At that time, no official could be called "adult" (because at that time, "adult" and "father" basically had the same meaning...in fact, this meaning is also common in modern times. ?)

Note ②er: Note that Mengli referred to Liu Shifeng as "er" and "baier". It is not a typo by the author, but girls can also call themselves like this to their parents in the past (or in fact, girls call themselves '' There are many cases of son') Note ③, ④ Niangzi, Xiaoniangzi, maidservant and other titles together: Note that the author also made a mistake in the previous article, that is, the title of 'Madam' was not casual in ancient times If it is used indiscriminately, it is generally only the wives of officials who are granted titles can be called "Madam". Even the wives of ordinary officials cannot be called "Madam". I feel that the title is awkward, the title 'Miss' was a humble title in ancient times, and it cannot be used to address a dignified lady.At that time, the servants in the family generally called themselves slaves and maidservants (that is, there is no self-proclaimed slavemaid). If they had a good relationship with their masters, they would call themselves by name or 'I', and address their masters as 'Master' or 'Lang'. The owner's wife is called 'Niangzi', the daughter is 'Little Lady', or rank+mother, and the son is 'Xiaolangjun', rank+Lang (note that the title of son also refers to noble people, and also Not everyone can be called a son).For example, in the previous article, when people in Shouyang mentioned Mengli, they always said "the daughter of the Liu Mansion" (this is an honorific title) or "Liu Da Niangzi", but in fact, if it is more strict, it can also be called "Liu Da Niang" 23333333

Note ⑤ guest house: it is the inn

In the future, I will explain some places related to the customs and culture of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, I hope that someone from the history department will point out my mistakes. )
