Shendou Continent

Chapter 167 Top Dragon Silk
Unexpectedly, grandpa still has such a story, Chen Xiaodong didn't know what to say, and the scene was awkward for a while.It was Mrs. Lan who spoke first: "Although I didn't see your grandfather again, it's a relief to know news about him again." After that, I was speechless for a while.

"Senior Lan, I remember that when Grandpa was dying, he refused to close his eyes until Father took out the bead and saw the bead before he died." Chen Xiaodong's voice was very soft, but it was like Mrs. Lan's voice. It was like a boulder was thrown in the heart lake, and a huge wave was set off.

"About the South China Sea, or the sharks, did your grandfather mention anything to you?"

"When I was young, my grandfather told me that there was a fragrant village on the southern coast of the Nanling Empire. Starting from the fragrant village, in the far distance of the sea, there was a mysterious underwater cave where a group of mermaids with human bodies and fish tails lived. He said that female sharks People are beautiful and kind..."

"He still remembers these, but never came again."

"..." Chen Xiaodong didn't know how to answer, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Mrs. Lan again.

"Forget it, let's not mention these old things, I'll excuse you for a moment." After Madam Lan finished speaking, she turned around and walked away. The moment she turned around, bubbles began to bubble from the corners of her eyes, which were tears from her eyes.At this moment, her heart was throbbing. After 60 years, she thought she would not cry again, at least not for him.However, she still couldn't do it.She needs to be quiet and calm down.Honglin seemed to understand Mrs. Lan's words, but she just stared blankly at her and didn't chase after her.

After a long time, Mrs. Lan came back with red eyes.

"Tell me the story of your grandfather, and I can give you a few shark teardrops." Madam Lan said calmly to Chen Xiaodong.

"Senior Lan, you have saved my life, and you have an old relationship with my grandfather. Little things are what Xiaodong should do, how can you ask for repayment?" The way he doesn't want to.

"Since you are an old friend, you should have given some greetings." Mrs. Lan was more straightforward this time.

"This... well, but I didn't bring any presents to see you." Changing his rhetoric, Chen Xiaodong felt much better in his heart.

"I have lived a long time, and I have no feeling for material things. It is the best gift to hear the news of the old man when I am dying." Mrs. Lan smiled. She is used to seeing the sea, so how can she be nostalgic for something outside her body? ?All she wanted was a little comfort in her heart.

Next, Chen Xiaodong tried his best to recall his grandfather, but from the time he remembered things at the age of 3 until his grandfather left at the age of 5, Chen Xiaodong could remember very little.His grandfather seldom mentioned the matter of going to the South China Sea, but in the dead of night, he would occasionally take out the shark bead and admire it quietly by himself.He still remembered that his grandfather once taught him to swim, and he almost drowned in the water where he flopped like a dog.Grandpa told him about the shark's swimming style, and told him that only by being streamlined like a fish can he swim farther and more steadily... Chen Xiaodong recalled a lot, and grandpa seemed to really know a lot about sharks.

Recalling his grandfather's voice and smile, Chen Xiaodong also thought of himself when he was a child.At that time, he was still playing wild with a poor boy from the next village all day long.Time flies so fast, it has been more than 20 years in a flash!
His memories are very scattered, but Mrs. Lan, who is opposite him, listens very carefully, and refuses to let go of any information from him, for fear of missing something...

Chen Xiaodong really couldn't remember, and Madam Lan spoke slowly, and she slowly recalled the story between her and him.Let’s talk about his bravery first. With one enemy against five, he not only escaped from the tiger’s mouth, but also saved a group of small mermaids; then talk about his wisdom, seven days and seven nights, on such a harsh desert island, one person learned to prey and survive; In the end, there is their life, one person and one shark. I can’t tell what the relationship is, but one is better than living on the shore, and the other is better than living underwater. Although they are very different, they maintain a delicate balance...

That year was the happiest in her life.But how sweet it is in the memories, how sad it is in reality... Before she knew it, round and round teardrops oozed from the corners of her eyes. These were shark tears, and they were beads of longing... Not all of them. Merman's tears can turn into beads, and only the tears of grief can be condensed into teardrops.

After chatting for a long time, Mrs. Lan handed over the teardrops just now to Xiaodong.Knowing what she wanted, Chen Xiaodong silently accepted it.Then, Mrs. Lan took Xiaodong to the deserted island where they lived with great interest.Since he left, the desert island was no longer inhabited. Mrs. Lan came up occasionally, but she never changed it a little bit.Therefore, the scenery of the deserted island remains the same, and 60 years seem like yesterday.

Chen Xiaodong looked at the thatched huts that had been blown over by the wind, among the piles of dry grass, there were vaguely some human belongings.A few scraps of cloth, a few rotten wooden basins, and a few broken copper coins...

Chen Xiaodong sighed inexplicably, a pang of bitterness entered his throat.And Mrs. Lan kept her lips tightly shut and said nothing.She revisited her hometown with a solemn expression.Time here seems to have stood still, but Mrs. Lan is already old. Only by looking at the scene in front of her and slowly reminiscing about the past can she feel the youthful years of the past.

When the gorgeous leaves fall, the context of life can be clearly seen...

After a long time, Mrs. Lan finally said, "Since he's passed away, I should also end it."

"Madam, please mourn!" Chen Xiaodong didn't know what to say, and added, "Grandpa's spirit in heaven also hopes that you can live well."

Madam Lan didn't answer, but walked slowly behind a big tree. Her fish tail moved slowly on land, but it didn't affect her mood at all. She walked this road countless times.

When she returned, there was a gorgeous tulle in her hand, blue in color, shiny, shining in the sun, dazzling.

"This is a top-level dragon silk, as thin as a cicada's wing. When your soul power has reached the peak, you will be able to become invisible for a short time if you wear it. Since you and I are destined, I will give it to you."

"No, it's too precious! Senior!" Chen Xiaodong came here for Long Xiao, but he didn't get rewarded for nothing, he didn't want to just take other people's things like this.

"Your grandpa saved me. Compared with the grace of saving my life, this is nothing." Mrs. Lan's voice was very soft, but Xiaodong could hear it clearly, "The top-level dragon silk is extremely difficult to weave. This is my flower. It took ten years to weave it. I originally wanted to give it to your grandfather. Since he is no longer here, it is the same to give it to you..."

"senior……"

"I've made up my mind, you don't need to say more."

Chen Xiaodong couldn't resist Mrs. Lan's insistence, so he accepted Long Xiao.His heart was moved, his lips were moving, but he didn't know what to say...
