There were several piles of firewood scattered around, which had become moldy due to humidity and were covered with blue-black spots. There was also an unpleasant smell in the air.
Yun Ling was woken up by this salty, wet and foul smell.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a spider hanging down from the huge spider web above her head, only a finger's throw away from her nose.
Just as she was about to knock it down, she realized that her hands and feet were tied.
The most common rope, a mortal means?
When she first emerged from the sea, she was really weak and had no defense, so she was knocked unconscious. When she heard something about paying for her life, she thought she had been found by Liu Zichu's family.
But the aura of this island is so weak, worse than those desert islands. There is no aura of monks around, but it looks like islands inhabited by mortals.
And using mortal means to tie himself up, what is the meaning of this?
As soon as Yun Ling took off the ropes from his hands and feet, he noticed someone approaching.
She had injured her soul, and her consciousness could only observe a distance of 100 meters around her. It was not advisable to cast too powerful spells, which would affect the progress of the healing.
However, current methods are more than enough to deal with these mortals.
A young girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing tattered clothes whose original color was too gray to be seen, crept closer.
She looked around furtively and found that no one was there. She quickly opened the door of the woodshed, hurried in, and quickly closed the door again with a neat movement.
When she turned around, she found that Yun Ling was looking at her leisurely.
"You, you're awake." She said in surprise, her sallow and thin face full of questions.
Didn't you hear that you were knocked unconscious? Why did you wake up so quickly?
"Yes, I'm awake." Yun Ling replied with a smile.
"You are so beautiful, like those fairies..." the little girl said with envy.
Yun Ling raised his eyebrows: "What brings you here?"
The little girl suddenly came to her senses, "I'm here to save you. I can't let others suffer for me. Come on, I'll untie you..."
She wanted to untie the hemp rope at Yun Ling's wrist, but found that the rope had already been untied, and it was just loosely wrapped around her wrist. "Hey, why is it untied?"
"Are you here to save me?" Yun Ling asked.
The little girl nodded, "They mistakenly thought you were me and arrested you. I came to rescue you as soon as I heard the news..."
"Shh." Yun Ling covered her mouth with her hand to signal her to be silent. She found a group of people approaching outside.
"Stay there and don't make a sound." Yun Ling pushed the person to the corner and set up a hiding formation in front of the little girl.
The little girl looked at the light curtain in front of her and opened her mouth in surprise.
Monk, this is a monk!
The door of the woodshed was opened again, and two mortal women walked in, while the remaining people stayed outside to guard.
The woman at the head was about thirty years old, wearing a long crimson dress embroidered with gold and silver flower patterns. She had seven or eight gold hairpins inserted into her hair, the largest one of which was in her hair.
There is also a huge ruby hanging from the tail of the phoenix-shaped hairpin, and the whole person is dressed up magnificently, like a walking jewelry display stand.
She probably also disliked the smell of the woodshed. She frowned tightly and took out a goose-yellow silk handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.
The look of disgust on his face, coupled with his already sarcastic appearance, made him look even more disgusting.
The woman at the back is about forty or fifty years old. She is dressed in dark green cloth and has numerous wrinkles on her face. According to mortal age, she is already an old woman.
"Madam, be careful where you go, this woodshed is very dirty."
The old woman followed behind the woman, bending down to hold up the hem of her skirt, lest the dust from the woodshed stain her long skirt, with a groveling and flattering look on her face.
The leading woman stared at Yun Ling for a long time and asked in surprise: "Are you Zhou Qinghao?"
Don't you mean a yellow-haired girl who is only fourteen years old? This obviously doesn't look like it.
Before Yun Ling could answer, the old woman behind her exclaimed, pointed at her and asked: "This, this is not that dead girl, you, who are you? Why are you here?"
"Afu, come in quickly and see what's going on?" the woman called loudly.
A middle-aged man answered the door and was very surprised when he saw Yun Ling's face clearly. He pondered for a moment and said: "There must be a mistake. Zhou Qinghao escaped to the west coast, and this man happened to appear there covered in mud.
Ah Cai and the others have never met Zhou Qinghao, so they arrested the wrong person."
"Trash, a bunch of trash, they can't handle even a small thing!"
The lady was so furious that she pointed at the middle-aged man's nose and yelled, even shaking the hairpin on her head.
"What are you still doing? Why don't you go and find that dead girl for me!"
The group came and went in a hurry.
Yun Ling didn't even ask a single word, they just shouted and supported the lady as she left, leaving her speechless.
"Come out, they're gone, are you Zhou Qinghao?" she asked as she withdrew her formation.
But the little girl knelt down in front of her with a plop and kept kowtowing, "Please save me from the immortal master!"
She knocked so hard that within a few blows, her forehead was already red.
"Get up and talk first and explain clearly what's going on."
She should have left here and found a safe place to recuperate as soon as possible, but she saw how pitiful the little girl was and couldn't help but feel pity for her.
This little girl knew the danger, but she still came to save people just to avoid hurting others. She had an innocent heart.
There is no one around the woodshed now, but there is noisy looking for someone in front. This is what it means to be dark under the lamp.
Yun Ling was not in a hurry to leave, and began to listen to the little girl talk about the whole story of being chased.
This island is called Merlin Island, and it is a mortal island.
This little girl's name is Zhou Qinghao, and she is the only direct bloodline of the Zhou family left on this island.
The Zhou family was still a big family on the island thirty years ago, and several Zhou family members have been island owners. Unfortunately, in the past hundred years, no one in the Zhou family has spiritual roots. Without spiritual roots, it means that they cannot become disciples of Tianhai Pavilion.
, the Zhou family fell into decline.
Especially in recent years, the Xu family on the island has produced a genius with a single spiritual root, Xu Maosong, who was accepted as a disciple by Tianhai Pavilion, and his father Xu Xin became the island owner of Meilin Island.
The Xu family has an old grudge against the Zhou family, and they have spared no effort to suppress and exclude the Zhou family in recent years. The Zhou family has lived a very difficult life.
The side branches of the separated Zhou family are doing better, but the direct branch of the Zhou family is extremely aggrieved.
Zhou Qinghao's grandfather and father passed away one after another, leaving them orphans and widowed mothers. The year before last, Zhou Qinghao's mother also passed away, leaving her completely an orphan.
Originally, no one would pay attention to the Zhou family, which was in such a withered state, but something happened, which made it difficult for her to live on this island.
