Xia Ningzhu cried for a long time. When Shen Yue asked her to come out for dinner, she wiped a handful of it on her sleeves and walked out.

Shen Yue saw that her almond-shaped eyes were red and swollen from crying, and there were tears on her sleeves. He didn't know what to say, so he had to ask her to eat quickly, and without saying anything else, he introduced what to eat today and what fun it was to fight with the spiritual beast.

Xia Ningzhu squatted down next to the fire, hugging her knees with her hands and staring at the flames with sad eyes. She didn't react at all to Shen Yue's words.

Seeing this, Shen Yue shut up and handed her some food. Xia Ningzhu mechanically took it and ate it tastelessly.

Next to her, Shen Yue also felt that eating was very depressing. In order to adjust the atmosphere, he took out a small box he had prepared and handed it to Xia Ningzhu: "Don't be like this, it's not like you can't go out in the future, just come back when you have time." You remember this place anyway, and you can come back and stay there again if you are interested."

Xia Ningzhu secretly scolded Shen Yue for being a fool. After glancing at him, she opened the box handed over by Shen Yue and found several small jade carvings, which vividly showed her planting flowers and plants, building houses and making fires to barbecue. She in the jade carvings Qiao smiled sweetly, and his excitement and joy were beyond words.

Seeing such a vivid gift, Xia Ningzhu was instantly freed from her low mood. She was surprised and said: "When did you carve it? Your craftsmanship is so good!"

Shen Yue smiled and said: "I think you are definitely willing to record your life these days, and I carved it when I had free time in the evening. Well, the jade and the box are actually in your bag. I carved them without asking you. You Don’t make me pay for it!”

Xia Ningzhu shook her head while holding the box, and tears suddenly flowed down. Now Xiao Huan panicked and jumped back and forth: "Brother Yue, why did you make her cry? Did you carve her too ugly? Already?"

You are such a clever little guy! Shen Yue just wanted to defend his carving skills. But Xia Ningzhu burst into laughter. There were tears on her face when she laughed, making Shen Yue and Xiao Huan look at each other. .

She smiled and sobbed for a while, then looked up at Shen Yue and said very gently: "No, the carving is very beautiful."

She smiled slightly at Shen Yue who looked concerned, and then said: "Thank you, I will keep it well."

After all, Xiao Huan was a simple child. He couldn't understand what was wrong with this woman. He cried and laughed, but he was still very happy to see that she stopped crying. He wagging his tail and ran to the hut, picked up a colorful stone, and put it away. He came to Xia Ningzhu and said, "I gave this to you. It is the most beautiful stone I have ever seen!"

Xia Ningzhu picked it up, rubbed it repeatedly and said to Xiao Huan, "Thank you, I like it very much." Xiao Huan immediately ran to her bowl happily and gobbled it up.

Seeing that she wanted to cry again, Shen Yue quickly changed the subject and said, "I will take you to the mountains tomorrow. Do you know the way back to the city?"

Xia Ningzhu nodded and said: "You don't have to worry about Cheng Yun. I just said that he was eaten by some spiritual beast. Then I finally escaped and got lost in the forest, so it took me a few days to get out."

Shen Yue shook his head and said: "Don't be like this. You should just say that Cheng Yun was killed by a rogue cultivator. You can also say my name. Don't let those who want to avenge him anger the spiritual beasts or innocent people here. Those who are lost You can stick to your statement, after all, if you tell the truth, I guess no one will believe that you were kidnapped but nothing happened."

Xia Ningzhu did not agree to confess him, and wanted to make up another one, such as Cheng Yun separated from herself in advance.

Shen Yue denied them all, because he felt it didn't matter, so he just did it. The other party wanted him to die, so there was nothing wrong with him killing him. He always felt uncomfortable if he framed the blame in order to avoid suspicion.

In the end, Xia Ningzhu nodded and said that he would follow Shen Yue's idea. Shen Yue suddenly remembered something and said, "You started chasing a ferocious beast with that Cheng Yun, right?"

"Yes, how do you know?" Xia Ningzhu asked in surprise.

"That guy is my neighbor, and he sold me this piece of land." Shen Yue stirred the fire and continued: "The next day I met that guy, and he told me that his illusory powers are harmful to you. It’s useless, why?”

Xia Ningzhu said "oh" and signaled Shen Yue to find a bead from the spiritual weapon she gave him. Shen Yue quickly found it according to his words. The bead was inconspicuous, like a large pearl, but it was black. .

Xia Ningzhu explained: "This is a shark bead. There is a half-human, half-fish race in the East China Sea called the sharks. They practice Xuanyin spiritual energy on the moon. Whenever they have a breakthrough in their realm, they will shed tears on the moon and condense it into shark beads, which has stability." The function of the divine soul. This bead is formed by a mermaid who has broken through to the fifth level. That ferocious beast is only at the third level, so naturally it cannot use illusory magical powers on me."

Shen Yue nodded, sighing that the world is really rich and colorful, and even the story of the shark crying at the moon was made more fantastic.

He handed the shark bead back to Xia Ningzhu and said, "Then you'd better put it away. Such a high-grade shark bead must be very precious. You should keep it for self-defense."

Xia Ningzhu stood up angrily when he heard this, raised his eyebrows, pointed at Shen Yue and shouted: "Shen Yue, do you look down on me? Do you dislike the things I gave you so much?"

Shen Yue complained in his heart that this girl was really illogical, but he still explained: "Where are you thinking, I just think you should be more..."

Before she finished speaking, Xia Ningzhu interrupted: "As I said, if you don't want it, just throw it away. I have never asked for the things I sent out, huh!"

Seeing that her eyes were red with anger, Shen Yue thought to himself: Why do you cry so easily? Are you still a Taoist?

He quickly put away the shark beads, bowed his hands and said, "Then thank you Miss Xia for the generous gift. Sit down quickly and eat your barbecue. It's already cold!"

Xia Ningzhu lost her temper immediately, rolled her eyes at him, and sat down to continue eating. In order to heighten the atmosphere, Shen Yue told her interesting things about his life in the mountains over the past year, some embarrassing things about himself, and his previous encounters. Gu Nian, the friend who arrived, told Xiao Huan a lot of silly and funny things. Xia Ningzhu was made to giggle from time to time by those things, temporarily forgetting her sadness.

The two of them stayed together until the moon was above the sky before they dispersed. Xia Ningzhu lay in the newly built room, staring at the ceiling in a daze for a long time.

Really unable to sleep, she took out the jade carvings given by Shen Yue and admired them carefully one by one. She also took out the stones given by Xiao Farewell and kept playing with them. Before she knew it, the whole night passed.

It was still dark, and Shen Yue called her softly from outside the house. Xia Ningzhu quickly gathered her things and ran out.

Shen Yue smiled and said, "Have Miss Xia ever appreciated the scenery in this mountain?"

Xia Ningzhu shook her head and said: "I have never been here before. When I lived in the capital, I went to the mountains to play."

Shen Yue nodded and pointed to the mountain road in the distance: "How about I show you the scenery here now?"
