Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 148 Visit

When I was looking up Li Yan's past, there was a small episode that mentioned an island fish monster.

Most fish monsters are young and beautiful, and their singing voices are beautiful and can bewitch people. It is said that fish monsters will look at the moon on the rocks and shed tears, and their tears will turn into pearls.

They also mastered the secret of immortality. The former Emperor Li Yan must have been here before, but the fish monsters live in the deep sea and are not something ordinary people can encounter.

Few people have seen the fish monster, so it has naturally become a legend. Shi Chongweng, whom Ning Shujun visited, is the descendant of the fish monster hunter. After all, the fish monster is full of treasures.

When Shi Chong was young, he went out to sea once and disappeared for half a year. After he came back, he never went out to sea again.

Some people said that he was frightened, but there were always people who asked him about the news of mermaids, and they would be scolded and driven away by Shi Chong.

Standing outside Shi Chongweng's residence, Liu Yue hesitated and asked, "Master, are we really going?"

Today, Ning Shujun was dressed in men's clothes, looking neat and capable. She closed her fan and walked forward. "Since I'm here,

"Why not just forget it?" June had seen how crazy that old man could be.

"I will go in alone, you wait here."

"Master"

"Um"

June followed him worriedly, "I'd better go with you!"

Walking into the yard, there is a road paved with bluestone slabs, with delicate flowers planted on both sides. The whole garden is full of blooming peonies, like a fairyland. The soft soil must have just been turned over. The yard is very tidy, and you can see that the owner takes good care of them, and every detail is just right.

"You really don't know how beautiful spring is until you visit the garden. What a beautiful courtyard!" Ning Shujun looked around and noticed a peony drooping with a crease on its stem. She stepped forward and infused some spiritual power into it, and the peony stretched and moved.

"What are you doing?" came a stern voice.

Then an old man quickly came up to the flower and took a look. Only then did he feel relieved.

"Excuse me, my name is Xuan Yue, I am here..."

"What did you just do?" He was hesitating whether to deal with the broken flower. It wouldn't live long anyway, so he planned to cut it off.

I just came out to make sure that I was not mistaken. This man saved the peony flower with just two moves.

"A little magic, everything comes back to life"

The old man's eyes were sharp, his beard twitched, and he said contemptuously, "Young man, what are you doing here?"

"I heard people praise Shi Chongweng's craftsmanship, so I would like to ask you to carve something for me."

"Tsk!" The old man noticed that the flower just now drooped down in an instant, he hurried forward to hold it up, and had to cut it off.

Ning Shujun paused in taking the blueprint, and watched Shi Chong hurriedly walk into the house holding peonies.

"That's how he is," June complained as he stood aside.

"Well." Ning Shujun put away the drawings and prepared to wait for a while.

After a long time, Shi Chongweng finally remembered that there were other people. He came out this time and led them to sit in a pavilion nearby, apologetically saying, "Sorry for waiting so long. Please take a seat."

Then two cups of scented tea and three plates of snacks were put down. Ning Shujun picked up the teacup. The faint floral fragrance was refreshing, and a small piece of snack was also carved perfectly.

Ning Shujun handed the snacks to Liu Yue. She was curious about how meticulous Shi Chong lived his life.

"Senior, I apologize for interrupting you."

"The little girl next to you has been here before, so I guess you're here for that matter!" Shi Chongweng said quickly, "I can't do it these days, I have something important to do."

Ning Shujun said casually: "You are so attentive, are you waiting for someone?"

"Young man, if you have nothing to do, please leave quickly!"

"Something happened." Ning Shujun took out the blueprint and attached a gold ingot.

"no"

Ning Shujun did not take the things back and said, "Before I came here, I heard that you have a stubborn temper. If that's true, you are a true person. I really envy you."

"Young man, I have been polite enough, don't take advantage of me!" Shi Chong slammed the table, completely losing his patience.

June almost dropped the half-bitten pastry, but luckily she caught it with her quick hands and eyes.

"Master, let's go!" She had been turned down several times before. Today was the first time she was treated well. There were five dim sum with different patterns and the key was that the fillings were different. She didn't expect that this old man, who didn't look that good, had good cooking skills. June was very satisfied.

Ning Shujun didn't move. "Don't be upset, senior. I came here today to ask for something. I think you are worried, so I won't force you. It's just that I saw the peonies in the area of ​​your residence. They are so beautiful that I am happy. Can you stay for a while to appreciate the fragrance of the flowers? It will be a reward."

She continued, "If you are unwilling, please accept this deposit as a thank you."

Shi Chongweng refused, "I am not a person who is greedy for money. Take away your gold."

Ning Shujun bowed and said: "Thank you for your help, senior."

Shi Chongweng said in an unhappy tone: "You can't stay long," and then went about his own business.

"Yes," Ning Shujun nodded.

After everyone left, Liu Yue sneaked up to Ning Shujun and whispered, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

I just couldn’t understand why the master was so polite to this old man.

"Silly girl, you finished the whole plate of snacks, and your teacher hasn't even had a bite!" Ning Shujun tapped June's head lightly with her folding fan.

June felt very aggrieved. She had clearly asked the master just now, and it was the master who said he was not hungry and pushed all the cakes to her.

Ning Shujun picked up the teacup and said angrily: "Greedy!"

For several days in a row, Ning Shujun would go to visit on the pretext of appreciating the flowers.

Finally, on the eighth day, she mentioned unintentionally: "Senior takes good care of the peonies every day, makes snacks and fruits, and serves tea. Is there any important person coming?"

"Probably not coming," Shi Chongweng said dejectedly, and then said in a rough voice, "Since you know that, why do you still shamelessly come here every day to eat and drink for free?"

Ning Shujun curled her lips and said with a smile: "The person you are waiting for must be very important. Peony means missing someone. You are waiting for the person in your heart."

Shi Chong smiled bitterly and said nothing for a long time. It must be so.

He paused for a moment, then spoke word by word: "Thirty-six years, thirteen thousand one hundred and forty days and nights, are but a moment to Caiyun."

"Senior Shi, the relationship between you and Caiyun must be unforgettable." Ning Shujun poured a cup of tea for Shi Chongweng.

Thirty-six years ago, Shi Chong, who had just learned all the skills, couldn't wait.

Shi Chong went out to sea with his father for five times but failed to find any trace of the fish monster. His father told him that it depended on luck.

Later, when they were fishing, they encountered a mermaid with a green body. They concentrated for a long time and finally caught a fish monster. He was raising the fork to kill the fish monster when a pleasant voice came and Shi Chong lost consciousness.

A gushing of blood woke him up. Only then did he notice that the captured fish monster was roaring and still struggling with its wounds torn, and it seemed to be in extreme pain.

It took more than three months to catch it, and it would provide him with food and drink for several years. This was the first time he had seen a mermaid in the past two years. Everyone who came with him excitedly attacked the mermaid with sharp weapons.

"Developed"

The blood flowed into the sea water, contaminating the surrounding water. The mermaid seemed to have no strength left and struggled slightly. I saw my father pulling up the fishing net. The fishing net used to catch the mermaid was quite special.

Although the fish monster was weak, it was alert to its surroundings. Because it was a special fishing net, the fish monster could not break free, but every time it struggled, it would feel unbearable pain.

When Shi Chong saw a mermaid for the first time, he felt a sense of victory. His father especially reminded him not to look into the mermaid's eyes, otherwise he would be caught and become its prey.
