Chapter 3746 Chapter 3748【Bad Sword Festival】
When Xiang Nan and Qingqing walked out of the door, they were stunned. They saw Xiaoyun, Xiaoling, Xiaoxia, Feifei, Awang, Xiaodou and other young people from the village outside. They all wanted to see Xiang Nan off. of.
“Brother Peng, we can’t bear to leave you~”
“Brother Peng, you have to be careful~”
“Brother Peng, goodbye~”
They were also reluctant to leave. Children like Yinong, Afu, Honghong and other children even cried outright.
These days, Xiang Nan has brought them too much joy.
So many novel and interesting stories have become the most indispensable diversion in their boring lives. Now that he was leaving, they were naturally reluctant to leave him.
Seeing this scene from a distance, Gu Zi clenched his fists in anger again.
He has lived in the village for twenty years and has never enjoyed this kind of treatment. Xiang Nan only stayed in the village for half a month, but he was actually more popular than him. It was really annoying.
“Goodbye~” Xiang Nan waved goodbye to everyone one by one, and then returned to the northwest cave alone.
"Dad, you see everyone in the village likes Brother Peng so much, can't we give him a chance to stay in the village?" Qingqing couldn't help but look at Ren Tianxingdao, she really didn't want to let Xiang Nan go. .
"Island rules cannot be violated. Even as the owner of the island, I must abide by them." Ren Tianxing muttered, "Let's do this. If he can pull out the clan's holy sword at the Sword Drawing Festival, then I will give it to him. a chance."
“However, there are so many people on the island, and no one has ever pulled out that knife.” Qingqing said in surprise when he heard this.
There is a holy sword inserted into the huge rock in Wangyou Island Square, which was inserted by Tian Xing himself thirty years ago.
It is said that this holy sword is related to the rise and fall of Wangyou Island. Therefore, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, on the night of the full moon, the island holds a sword-drawing festival to let the young adults in the village draw the holy sword.
Whoever can pull out the holy sword can bring prosperity to Wangyou Island, and whoever can be recognized as the successor of the island owner. But after so many years, no one has been able to pull out the holy sword.
So Qingqing was worried that Xiang Nan might not be able to pull it out.
“That’s his life.” Ren Tianxing sighed, “If he can’t pull out the holy sword, my father will send him off the island.”
"Why, dad?" Upon hearing this, Qingqing couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Qingqing, Young Master Ding is both talented and beautiful, good at both civil and military affairs, and has a great vision. Such a person does not belong to our Wangyou Island. Sooner or later, he will return to the Central Plains. This has been destined for a long time." Ren Tianxing Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Ask me in the world, what is love? How about the promise of life and death? He was also young, how could he not know how painful the word "love" is. But he had no choice but to suffer from long-term pain rather than short-term pain.
…
"Brother Peng, my father said that as long as you can pull out the holy sword of our Wangyou Island on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you can officially become a member of our Wangyou Island." Qingqing took advantage of the meal delivery , told Xiang Nan about it.
"Bad Sword Festival? Holy Sword?" Although Xiang Nan already knew about the Ba Sword Festival, he still pretended not to know and asked Qingqing for advice.
Qingqing then told the origin of the Sword Drawing Festival, and then said hopefully, "Brother Peng, as long as you can draw the holy sword, it means that you are the one who can bring prosperity to our Wangyou Island, and you will naturally become our Wangyou Island." People from Worry Island.
"I know, Qingqing, I will work hard for you." Xiang Nan nodded.
Seeing him say this, Qingqing's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. Getting this promise from him made her heart sweeter than eating honey.
"During the Drawing Sword Festival, you want to pull out the holy sword and become the successor of the island owner. You have a great idea. I will not lose to you." When Gu Zi heard that Xiang Nan was going to participate in the Drawing Sword Festival, he was furious. There is energy.
In the following time, he practiced harder, trying to pull out the holy sword before Xiang Nan, in order to prove that he was the strongest person on Wangyou Island, the future successor of the island owner, and truly worthy of the title. Green people.
As for the outsider Xiang Nan, he should go wherever he came from and never appear on the island again.
…
In the following days, Xiang Nan continued to practice martial arts.
The "Shan Zi Jing", "The Divine Art of Enduring Humiliation", "The Heartbroken Arrow Jue", "The Heavenly Book of Forgetting Love", "Dajiang North and South Qigong", "Innate Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi"... His strength is increasing day by day, and his progress is very fast.
And his relationship with Qingqing continues to heat up.
Although the two of them do not live together, Qingqing comes to deliver food to him every day, so they still have three opportunities to meet each other every day.
Although the time was not long and the total amount was only one stick of incense, it was already happy and sweet enough for them.
“Brother Peng, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus tofu I made specially for you. Can you try it and see if it tastes delicious?” Qingqing said, holding out a plate of tofu.
Xiang Nan took it and took a bite. It was indeed crispy, tender and smooth, with a faint scent of osmanthus. "Well, the taste is really unusual."
“I soak the osmanthus and tofu together first, so that when they are baked, the tofu will have the fragrance of osmanthus.” Qing Qing explained with a smile.
“I see, it’s really ingenious.” Xiang Nan nodded, and then he smiled and said, “Qingqing, I also have a gift for you.”
As he spoke, he took out a necklace from his pocket. The necklace is composed of colorful shells, and in the center of them is a milky white pearl. As big as a peanut, it exudes a warm light.
“So beautiful.” Qingqing couldn’t help but admire her when she saw it.
“I found this accidentally when I was fishing for seashells from the sea.” Xiang Nan explained, “Qingqing, I’ll give it to you.”
"Brother Peng, this is too expensive, I can't have it." Qingqing was a little embarrassed.
Although Wangyou Island is surrounded by the sea, there is no shortage of aquatic products. Children such as Yinong, Afu, and Honghong can easily pick up a bunch of fish, shrimps, crabs, clams, razor clams, etc. when the tide is low.
However, pearls of this size are quite rare.
"Hey, pearls are not suitable for eating or drinking, and no one is doing business on the island, so they have no value at all except for decoration." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "But three meals a day are essential, so you give me It’s worth much more than what I gave you.”
The value of items comes from scarcity and liquidity. The rarer and more desired an item is, the higher its value is.
The villagers of Wangyou Island are self-sufficient and do not have any transactions. Therefore, even treasures such as pearls have no value on the island and can only serve as a decoration.
“Okay, thank you, Brother Peng.” Qingqing nodded.
“Let me put it on for you.” Xiang Nan picked up the necklace, walked to Qingqing, stretched out his arms, and put the necklace on her pink neck.
Qingqing and Xiang Nan stood face to face, the distance was only a few feet away, and she could smell the masculine scent on his body, which made her heart flutter, her breathing thicken, and her face flush.
