207. Xinghai-1

It took the group more than a month to reach the Xinghai located in the southeast of Tang and Song Kingdom.

Everyone stood on the beach on the shore and saw only a vast expanse of white. The sea water and the sky merged into one, and it was impossible to tell whether it was water or sky. As the saying goes: the fog locks the top of the mountain, the mountain locks the fog, and the sky connects to the water and the tail water connects to the sky. It is endless and vast.

The sight made everyone's fatigue from the past few days disappear, and they felt refreshed, relaxed and happy.

Everyone walked around the coastline for two days and finally finished. Han Junchen was responsible for drawing the geographical location of Xinghai and marking some major surrounding landmarks. From the map, Xinghai was in the shape of a hexagon, lying flat among the mountains, like a

It is an artificially cut pearl, with high mountains and green ribbons surrounding it.

"Isn't it said that the sea of ​​​​stars will be filled with stars every night? Why haven't we seen it for two days?" Ming Xixi asked doubtfully, is this just a scam that people spread around?

Lu Chen said: "I believe Master Qian Moxiao did not lie to us. He found the piece of clothing and hairpin of the Nanzhu Goddess here, and saw the magical beauty of the sea of ​​stars."

Han Junchen said: "For two days, we haven't seen anything. Except for the dark sea surface and a crescent moon in the sky, there is no magical beauty."

Lan Xiaotang said: "Many incredible things happen on the night of the full moon. Perhaps the magic of the sea of ​​stars will appear on the night of the full moon."

Ning Zi did the math and said: "Today is the sixth day of the lunar month, and there are still nine days until the fifteenth day."

Mu Ge nodded, "Keep waiting."

Lan Xiaotang suddenly changed the topic and said: "Do you think that Xinghai has actually revealed a very strange place?"

Ming Xixi immediately raised her hand to answer: "There are no fishing boats nearby."

Han Junchen also raised his hand and said: "The two villages we passed yesterday are obviously close to the seaside, but there are no fishing nets and fishing gear, and there is no smell of fish."

Ning Zi said: "They don't rely on the sea to eat from the sea, they rely on the mountains to eat from the mountains."

Lan Xiaotang looked at Mu Ge, with a hint of teasing on his lips, "Aren't you going to express your opinion?"

Mu Ge glanced at everyone and said calmly: "Don't you think the woodcutter and the washerwoman are strange?"

Ming Xixi shook her head. She only looked at the scenery, not the people. Ning Zi, who was a secret guard, took over the song and said: "The woodcutters I have seen in the past two days walk differently from ordinary people, and they obviously have special characteristics."

In terms of internal strength and martial arts, even that washerwoman is extraordinary."

Han Junchen suddenly said: "Let me tell you this, I suddenly remembered the thought that came to me on the first day, this sea breeze does not have a fishy smell."

There are creatures in the sea, including all kinds of big and small fish, so how can there be no fishy smell? Ming Xixi inhaled hard, and there was really no fishy smell. The sea breeze was as refreshing and refreshing as breathing the air on the top of a mountain.

Mu Ge glanced towards the direction of the village and said: "Starting tonight, we will stay in a villager's house."

Han Junchen asked in confusion: "Isn't it a good place for us to stay in an inn? Why do we need to change places?"

Mu Ge glanced at him and said, "To save money."

Everyone was speechless for a moment, then covered their mouths and snickered. Han Junchen was a little depressed. A noble prince actually said such stingy words. Alas, it was really uncomfortable to rely on others financially, so he secretly made up his mind to find a way to make himself rich.

Everyone returned to the inn to pick up their luggage. Ming Xixi dragged Mu Ge to buy paints and pens and paper. Mu Ge bought them without hesitation. Han Junchen said angrily: "This treatment is so unfair."

Mu Ge's cold eyes glanced at him: "Do you have any opinions?"

"Oh... I have no objection at all." Han Junchen shrank his neck, his eyes were so cold that they could freeze someone to death.

"Well, very good." Mu Ge dropped three words and walked to the left of Ming Xixi like a personal bodyguard. Lan Xiaotang followed closely two steps, walked to the right of Ming Xixi, and took out a unique and lovely wood carving hairpin.

, said with a smile: "Xixi, does it look good?"

Ming Xixi's eyes lit up: "It's beautiful! Xiao Tang, where did you buy it?"

With an affectionate smile in her charming eyes, Lan Xiaotang picked up the hairpin and gently inserted it into her dark hair: "Give it to you."

"Thank you Xiao Tang." Ming Xixi childishly turned around to show the three men behind her, "Does it look good?"

The three men nodded. They were indeed good-looking and as cute as her. They didn't realize at all that a certain man's expression had darkened.

Mu Ge's brows twitched, and his eyes glanced down at the jade hand waving back and forth by his side. He suddenly stretched out his hand to take it, and held it firmly in his hand. He looked straight ahead and said casually: "I heard there is something here.

The snacks are delicious, I’ll take you to try them.”

As expected, Ming Xixi leaned towards him and asked excitedly: "What kind of snack? Where is it? Come on, hurry up, I want to eat delicious food."

Lan Xiaotang's smiling face froze slightly. He caught a glimpse of the two hands holding each other, strode forward, naturally took the other hand, and said with a smile: "Yes, Xixi loves food the most, and can forget everything.

Just don’t forget to accompany Xixi to taste the local food.”

Ming Xixi glanced at her two big hands, feeling a little weird. Before she could think about it, a scent floated into her nose. She inhaled hard. It smelled so good! It was like the smell of barbecue food.

Ahead, the flow of people increased. It was probably the most lively and prosperous street in this town. The buildings on both sides were antique, and there were stalls one after another on both sides. There were all kinds of food, clothing, and entertainment. Ming Xixi directly ignored these.

Gadgets, follow the scent and turn the corner, and you will see a few stalls selling food, lined up on the side of the street, with various barbecues, pancakes, pastries, Yangchun noodles, fruits, etc. It is dazzling to see, and there are quite a lot of people eating.

.

But it's strange, why are these people looking in their direction?

Ming Xixi let go of the two beauties' hands, took a look, ran to a barbecue stall, pointed to the fresh crab skewers and shrimp skewers on it and asked, "Boss, how much does one skewer cost?"

The boss was a young man. He looked at her, his face flushed, and he stammered: "Ten crabs, ten cents a skewer, shrimps, shrimps eight cents a skewer. Girl, how many skewers do you want?"

Ming Xixi grinned: "There are six of us, crabs and shrimps, each of us will get two skewers of each. You do the math."

"Oh...Okay." The young man's face was red and he didn't dare to look at her. He lowered his head and counted carefully, and said happily: "There are twenty-four skewers in total, crab skewers cost 120 cents, and grilled shrimp skewers cost 120 cents."

There are ninety-six cents in total, and the total is two hundred and sixteen cents."

Ming Xixi immediately waved to Mu Ge, who was approaching, and said with a naughty smile: "Xiao Ge'er, two hundred and sixteen cents."

Mu Ge's cold handsome face suddenly looked a little red with embarrassment, damn little girl, why did you call him Xiao Ge'er for no reason?

He took out the money bag and put it in her hand: "Pay it yourself." He turned around and stood aside, looking around.

Some women buying food next to them boldly and wantonly glanced at the faces of several handsome men, while the men focused on Ming Xixi's face with admiration in their eyes.

Mu Ge ignored him with his paralyzed face, Lan Xiaotang smiled charmingly, Ning Zi put on an indifferent expression, Lu Chen felt uncomfortable all over, lowered his head to look at his shoes, why are the women here better than the girls from the Nanxi tribe?

Are you still bold? Han Junchen wished he had a pair of sunglasses in his hand, a long trench coat on his body, a Xu Wenqiang hat, a Marlboro in his mouth, and then... put on a cool look and stupefied these women.

Ming Xixi completely ignored the admiring looks of those men, and watched eagerly as the small crabs and shrimps were skewered on the hot coals and roasted until crispy and fragrant. The bursts of fragrance made her salivate and swallow again, and her innocent and innocent expression became even more intense.

This made the men stand beside the boss, face to face, staring at her without blinking.

Mu Ge noticed it and felt very unhappy. He turned around, his face as cold as frost, and his cold eyes shot at those nymphomaniac men. He pulled Ming Xixi behind him and said coldly: "If you think you have too many eyes, continue."

Ugh! A group of nymphomaniacs smelled the dangerous message and reluctantly dispersed quickly. They couldn't look at the front, but it was good to look at the back. The girl's back was as beautiful as a fairy. The nymphomaniacs just took a look and were blocked by an obstacle.

I blocked my sight and wiped my eyes to see the handsome man with a charming smile. He had a smile on his lips and his eyes seemed to be very evil. All the nymphomaniacs were so resentful that they had no choice but to stand in line.

The boss glanced at the beautiful girl and then at the diners who were quickly moving from other stalls to buy food. His face was red with excitement. This fairy-like girl was his god of wealth!

Wiping the sweat from his face, he packed the grilled crabs and shrimps separately, and packed two more skewers. He smiled shyly and said, "Girl, you bought so much at once. These two skewers are given to the girl for free."

"

Ming Xixi happily took it and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, I wish you a prosperous business!"

"Girl, it's easy to go, it's easy to go." The boss, like other men, craned his neck to watch the person disappear, then retracted his head and continued to sell.

"It's delicious, it smells so good! It's delicious!" Ming Xixi ate while walking, but Mu Ge was worried that she might get angry and said, "Go and sit in the teahouse in front."

This group of handsome men surrounded a stunning beauty, which suddenly lit up the quiet teahouse. The waiter served the tea enthusiastically and energetically, while the shopkeeper sat behind the table and secretly took a look at the stunning beauty in the middle.

Mu Ge stopped the waiter: "Waiter, I heard that Xinghai does not produce fish and shrimps. Do you know where the food we eat comes from?"

The waiter said: "Sir, you are asking the right person. If you ask the owner who sells it to food, he will definitely not tell the truth."

Ming Xixi asked curiously: "Why?"
