I Can’t Wait to Go Home
"Really? Really? Can we really go home?" Chengyun hugged Gu Ling's arm and smiled like a child, "Great! I really hate this place, and I can finally go home. !”
Dinner was cooked by the cook and his wife who were captured and brought to the island many years ago and have been enslaved by Mo Yan. They are already about the same age as Lao Mu. Mute Nu was born mute, not Mo Yan who made him mute.
The two of them live in a closed environment, with no outsiders communicating with them, and they no longer know what year it is. It can be seen that Gu Ling is a big shot, but I didn't know him before. Because when they were captured and brought to Xingluo Island, Gu Ling was not yet born. They were originally from the Qian country and knew the Gu family well.
Gu Ling asked them to sit down and eat at the same table. Both of them were a little scared.
"Don't be formal." Chengyun comforted them, "Although he is a big shot and looks very arrogant, he is actually a very nice person."
Sheng Yue chuckled, "That's true. He has only issued four death threats to me today. Although I saved his master, he enslaved me to chop down trees, otherwise he would blow me up."
When the mute slave and the cook heard this, they glared at Sheng Yue. In order to survive, the couple lived the same life day after day. They didn't know what was happening in the outside world, but they could still see what happened in the forbidden area. He was very disgusted with Sheng Yue's previous behavior of catching three children in the cave, and he also knew that Sheng Yue, as Mo Yan's confidant, was definitely not a good person.
When Cheng Yun heard what Sheng Yue said, he kicked him under the table, "You still have the nerve to say it? Why don't you say what morally corrupt things you have done?"
Sheng Yue knew that Cheng Yun hated him very much, so he didn't dare to confront Cheng Yun. He said to the cook and the mute slave in a faint tone, "Let me introduce you two. He is my younger brother, from the same father and mother."
The cook and the mute slave were a little confused. Gu Ling glanced at Feng Ming. Feng Ming immediately understood and said with a smile, "You two old people will eat first, and then I will tell you about the situation outside, so that you can have something in your mind before going out. number."
Sheng Yue said again, "After eating, we have to continue building the ship."
Feng Ming was not polite, "Then it will be a lot of trouble for Mr. Sheng."
Sheng Yue: ...once he was considered inferior to one person on the island, but now his status is only a little higher than Mo Yan and the two elders in the dungeon, and lower than the cook and the mute slave.
Putting down his chopsticks, Gu Ling praised the deliciousness of today's meal, saying it was the best meal he had eaten since he left home last time.
Both the cook and the mute slave smiled, no longer as nervous as before.
After the meal, Chengyun was clearing the dishes, and Lao Mu took the initiative to say that he had rested and would go building a ship with Sheng Yue. Lao Mu has experience in this area.
Gu Ling shook his head, "Master, please rest."
Sheng Yue frowned, "I only have one hand. If you are not afraid of wasting time, just rest and wait until I can do it."
Gu Ling looked calm and said, "I'll go."
Feng Ming said quickly, "How about I go and let the prince talk to the two old people."
But Gu Ling had already gone out.
Sheng Yue quickly caught up and walked out side by side with Gu Ling. It was already dark at this time, and the moon was rising. Today was the fifteenth day, and the moonlight was bright, making the shadows of the two of them very long.
Gu Ling didn't speak, but Sheng Yue couldn't help but want to speak today, "If you go home, Su Liang can't make the magic weapon recognize its owner. What will happen then? After thinking about it, there is really no good way, as long as Let Mo Yan encounter the magic weapon and he will have the leverage to threaten you. It is simply unreasonable to say that he is afraid of death, even if he knows he will die. "
Gu Ling looked calm and said, "I'll leave this problem to you. If you can think of a good way, I can let you go."
Sheng Yue sneered, "You don't think I really can't leave now, do you?"
"If you can't go away, it means you don't want to go." Gu Ling hit the nail on the head.
Sheng Yue's eyes narrowed and he paused for a moment. He shook his head and caught up with Gu Ling again, "You're right. After today's series of twists and turns, I really don't want to leave. No, I plan to follow you. Let's go together. If nothing else, I just want to know if the magic weapon can change hands. If it doesn't work, forget it. If Su Liang can, I..."
Gu Ling asked back, "What's wrong with you?"
Sheng Yue hummed, "I have nothing to say. It means that the magic weapon only recognizes those who have traveled through time."
When we arrived at the beach, the moon was shining brightly, and there was no need to light a lantern. There were piles of wood on the ground that Sheng Yue and Feng Ming had chopped during the day.
Gu Ling picked up the tools and started working directly. His movements were very skillful and professional.
Sheng Yue muttered, "What kind of life did you live before? Why do you seem to have been a carpenter all your life?"
"I have a master who is an old carpenter from Sujiacun." Gu Ling was in a good mood at the moment and took Sheng Yue's words.
Sheng Yue asked while working, "I have never understood. You and your wife already have such status, why do you still have to do so many things by yourself? Isn't it interesting to cook and wash the dishes by yourself?"
Gu Ling asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Sheng Yue was stunned. Although he has never been a noble, he has seen it and thought about it and said, "Being an emperor? Reviewing memorials every day, sleeping with different women and having children? This is not suitable for you. But other families at least have groups of servants, someone to take care of them, and you can spend your free time Play some music, chess, calligraphy and painting.”
"You think I can't?" Gu Ling asked again.
Sheng Yue sneered, "Is there anything you can't do?"
"Are you very unhappy?" Gu Ling asked.
Sheng Yue nodded, "Indeed. It's very enviable to have a genius like you in the world, but in the end, you met Su Liang and became omnipotent."
Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "There is one thing I can't do."
Sheng Yue raised his eyebrows, "What is it? You must tell me so that I can find psychological balance."
Then he heard Gu Ling say three words lightly, "Give birth to a child."
Sheng Yue's axe in his hand almost hit his leg, and he was speechless, "You are sick..."
...
Feng Ming told the cook and the mute slave about the situation outside that he knew about, and it didn't take long. Because Feng Ming was not very clear about the details, he only needed to tell them that now there is no Liang Kingdom and Yan Kingdom, and the world is unified by the Duanmu royal family of the former Gan Kingdom. The emperor is Gu Ling and Su Liang's good friend Duanmu Chen, and they helped to get the throne. Now Gu Ling is the regent. And Su Liang is the martial arts champion, a genius doctor, and a female general.
After listening, the cook and the mute slave were even more grateful and moved for Gu Ling's kindness to them, and they were more looking forward to going home to find their former relatives.
Feng Ming asked them to rest early, saying that if there was no wind and rain tomorrow, they should set off. The cook and the mute slave were very excited.
After that, Feng Ming went to the dungeon to deliver food. Mo Yan and the two elders who were imprisoned before him were alive and awake.
Mo Yan was tied up with iron chains and sat on the ground. His hair was disheveled and he looked very embarrassed. When he heard someone coming, he stared at Feng Ming like a wolf waiting for an opportunity in the dark night.
Feng Ming put down the food and water and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mo Yan, "Xiao Feng, you should know that no one else can use my magic weapon. As long as you find a way to get it back for me, I will accept you as my adopted son. Whatever you want, even if it is the world, I can help you get it! Are you willing to be Gu Ling's slave for the rest of your life?"
Feng Ming heard this and showed sarcasm on his face, "Adopted son? You don't even have any affection for your own granddaughter and grandson-in-law. You just want to harm them to achieve your goals, let alone an adopted son? Even if you want to recognize me as your adopted father, it's useless. You don't need to worry about my future." He strode away.
Mo Yan, who had been a local tyrant on Xingluo Island for most of his life, was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he was mocked and humiliated by a small minion he had never looked down upon. But now he has no way out.
There is a secret passage in the dungeon that can lead to the sea, but they are all trapped and unable to move. The feeling of knowing that there is a way nearby but unable to go has tortured Mo Yan for his whole life.
After Feng Ming left the dungeon, he went to the beach with Cheng Yun to help. Although the matter was not resolved satisfactorily, it was temporarily over, and they all hoped to leave and return to the capital as soon as possible.
…
Because of his injury, Lao Mu, who was asked by Gu Ling to have a good rest, woke up and it was already bright. He had not had a good rest for many days. He took the medicine given by Gu Ling before going to bed last night and felt much better.
After Lao Mu washed up, changed into clean clothes and went out, the cook brought him the food that was still warm, saying that Gu Ling and the others did not come back last night, so she prepared the food early in the morning and asked the mute slave to send it to the beach.
Lao Mu quickly finished eating and went to the beach.
They had two boats when they came. Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing used one when they escorted Peng Wu and the three children away. The other boat had been pulled out of the pond under the cliff by Feng Ming and Cheng Yun last night and was now docked at the dock.
On the shore, a new boat had been basically built, and Gu Ling was doing the final finishing work. Sheng Yue fell asleep leaning against a tree not far away, Feng Ming was helping Gu Ling, and Cheng Yun was picking up the nails that had fallen on the ground, fearing that they would prick people.
Gu Ling saw Lao Mu coming over and asked him how he felt.
Old Mu said cheerfully, "Much better, don't worry." Then he walked around the new ship and nodded, "It's OK."
"Time is short, just make do with it." Gu Ling said.
Old Mu looked at the vast sea, facing the direction of the capital, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, this big worry has been solved, and I can go home." Although there are still some remaining problems, Old Mu believes that they will find a way when Gu Ling and Su Liang are reunited.
In fact, Old Mu, Cheng Yun and Feng Ming all believe that Su Liang can make the space recognize the master, and now it is only a matter of time to rescue the people inside.
Before noon, both ships were ready to go to sea.
The cook and the mute slave couple also hurriedly prepared a lot of dry food.
Finally, after a meal on the island, Sheng Yue asked Gu Ling what he planned to do with the forbidden area, "Do you want to blow it up?"
Old Mu thought it should be blown up, once and for all, so that Mo Yan would not have any thoughts, and to avoid another time traveler like Mo Yan coming here from that road to make trouble.
Chengyun and Fengming both agreed with Lao Mu's opinion.
Sheng Yue said, "It doesn't matter if he keeps it. Anyway, Mo Yan has lost his magic weapon. Once he leaves, you can't let him come back alive. Gu Ling, you can bring your wife and daughter here to play in the future. Maybe Su Liang will be interested in going in the water."
When Gu Ling and Su Liang just got married, Gu Ling said that he would travel around the world with Su Liang in the future to find the legendary fairy island. But he was definitely not referring to Xingluo Island, a ghost place with beautiful environment but full of evil people.
"Destroy it." Gu Ling said. He believed that Su Liang might be interested in visiting Xingluo Island, but he was definitely not interested in the journey of crossing that had harmed countless people, and he would never try it.
Gu Ling, who was once very interested in crossing, now only wants to stay with Su Liang for the rest of his life and watch their children grow up.
Lao Mu immediately took out the explosive pack he had prepared long ago, and said, "I'll go now!"
Chengyun caught up, "I'll help."
Sheng Yue followed slowly and leisurely, "I'll go and witness it to see if any miracle will happen."
Gu Ling didn't look and only told them to be careful.
Feng Ming asked Gu Ling if he wanted to prevent Mo Yan from knowing that the forbidden area was bombed. If the magic weapon needs to be opened by Mo Yan later, he may commit suicide or go crazy when he learns that the forbidden area is gone, and it is even harder to control.
Gu Ling shook his head calmly, "Don't worry about someone like him committing suicide. He cherishes his life the most."
…
In the dungeon, Mo Yan was drowsy with his eyes closed. He suddenly heard a loud noise outside and the surrounding stone walls were shaking. He suddenly opened his eyes.
Elder Song sighed, "The forbidden area was bombed."
"Impossible!" Mo Yan kept shaking his head, "They can't open the magic weapon. There are people inside, and they want me!"
Elder Pang snorted, "What's impossible now? How do you know they haven't opened your magic weapon yet? I don't know whether you can survive. Anyway, Lao Song and I are going to be killed by you this time." "
On the other side, Sheng Yue watched from a distance as the mountain where the water pool was located collapsed. The cave was filled with stones smashed in the thick smoke, and no water was seen flowing out.
Lao Mu felt that it was not enough, "What if the stone is dug out, will the ghost place still be there?"
Anyway, there was still a lot of explosives brought. Lao Mu found the location of the water pool and used up all the explosives, blasting a big hole.
After calming down, Sheng Yue and Cheng Yun went over to search, but found nothing special, let alone any miracles.
Chengyun clasped his hands together and recited, "Amitabha. What we do is to act on behalf of Heaven and eliminate disasters and hidden dangers."
Sheng Yue complained, "Why do you recite Buddha's name when your hair is so long?" Cheng Yun kicked him before he finished speaking.
Since Gu Ling wanted to keep Sheng Yue, Lao Mu didn't bother to pay attention to him. Now he was in a hurry to go home and did not ask Sheng Yue to settle the debt he had mentioned before.
Sheng Yue confirmed that Elder Song and Elder Pang were not good people and had harmed countless people over the years.
It was useless to keep them now. Gu Ling asked Sheng Yue to deal with those two people, then knocked Mo Yan unconscious and brought him out of the dungeon.
Finally, everything is ready to set off.
In order to prevent Mo Yan from taking control of the magic weapon again, the arrangement of the two ships was that Gu Ling and Sheng Yue took the small boat to go first, while Lao Mu, Cheng Yun and Feng Ming took Mo Yan and the cook Mnu Nu behind in the larger boat. .
Chengyun frowned, "Why can Sheng Yue go with you?"
Sheng Yue chuckled, "Gu Ling is in a hurry to go home and doesn't want to delay you by taking you with him, but he must take me with him, otherwise if I let me stay with you, you might be betrayed by me."
Gu Ling slapped Sheng Yue onto the boat and said, "Let him be the boatman."
Lao Mu agreed with Gu Ling's arrangement, "That's very good. You go home first to report that you are safe, and let Xiao Liang try to see if he can use that magic weapon early. We will rush back later." When we arrive at Kasyapa City, we can arrange for someone to escort us ashore. The cook and the mute slave will not go home much later than Gu Ling.
…
As the boat sailed out to sea, Gu Ling looked back at Xingluo Island, which was left behind.
Sheng Yue looked forward and said half-jokingly, "You have been out for so long. Will Nuan Nuan not recognize you when you get home?"
Gu Ling sat down with a calm face, closed his eyes and rested his mind, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
Sheng Yue coughed lightly, "Last question. Do you have other purposes for keeping me? I always feel that you don't mean well."
Gu Ling replied, "After you get ashore, you are responsible for finding those scum who left Xingluo Island before. Kill those who deserve to be killed and save those who deserve to be saved. You should know them very well."
Sheng Yue was stunned for a moment. He had forgotten those people long ago. Unexpectedly, Gu Ling was still thinking about them, "I do know those people, including where they caught the women. I have investigated them secretly. You can say , no one else on Xingluo Island knows more about this than me, including Mo Yan, who doesn’t care about the women who were captured. I know that the twins who were with me in the cave before were former General Peng Wei of Liang Kingdom. "My great-grandson, you and your wife are very close to the Peng family."
Sheng Yue collected the information, thinking that it might be useful in the future, but at that time he did not think about saving those poor women.
"Very good." Gu Ling said.
Sheng Yue's eyes flashed slightly, "You actually think that I can do good things without your control? Where do you have confidence in me?"
"I'm not holding you now, you can leave." Gu Ling said with her eyes closed.
Sheng Yue looked at the vast sea, where could he go? But what about after landing? There seemed to be nothing I wanted to do or anywhere I wanted to go…
After a long time, Sheng Yue replied to Gu Ling, "You are not afraid that I will run away, so what should I be afraid of? As for what you said, let's wait and see."
