Chapter 19: Thrush
I listened to his words quietly, and finally understood what the old man surnamed Gu in the robe and coat had said before, I just need to spare my life until 'he' sees me.
It turns out that 'he' refers to him in front of him.
I listened quietly to his words, and tears broke down in my eyes.
It turned out that I was lucky enough.
I would have suffered a lot before, but I was lucky that I hid quietly, just to save enough for me to meet him as a nobleman.
From then on, I could finally stop wandering like duckweed, with nowhere to go.
"The girl doesn't cry. In the future, you can have what other children have, and you can have what other children don't have. He sighed softly and raised his big hand to rub the top of my head.
His actions made my tears even more urgent.
For as long as I can remember, I've never been treated so gently by anyone.
At this time, two floating corpses were going straight to the Lianjia boat in the windless environment, and he then reached into his pocket and took out the yellow charm.
It's just that the yellow talisman has been blistered, and he is a little helpless to bite his finger and quickly draw a spell on the side of the ship with blood.
The sudden situation also made me stop crying.
He finished drawing the talisman and let the two floating corpses continue to approach, and the boatman remained silent and focused on rowing.
The two floating corpses, one leaning down, the one facing the sky, and the one facing the sky on its back was a female corpse with her eyes closed.
The two floating corpses were suddenly bounced off when they rushed to a distance of about three meters from the family boat, and after crossing the arc in the air and falling into the water, their bodies standing upright in the water, only their heads were above the water.
The two floating corpses then approached the Lianjia ship again, and continued to follow the Lianjia boat in a range of three meters away from the Lianjia ship, and the speed of the circle became faster and faster.
As I stared at the two floating corpses and couldn't help clenching my fists in tears, he whispered to me that men and women were on their backs as the characteristics of floating corpses, and also mentioned the rules of the corpse collectors.
The so-called three no-fishings refer to not fishing for corpses standing upright in the water, not for corpses in thunderstorms, and not for those who have not been successfully scooped up for three consecutive times.
The corpses standing upright in the water are evil, and most of them die of grievances.
The two floating corpses, a man and a woman, who accompanied the boat formed the Yin and Yang Evil, which was more tricky to deal with than the two single Evils.
If we were all ordinary people on the boat, we would have been pulled as a stand-in by Yin and Yang.
"Girl, I originally wanted to only take you as an apprentice, but after saving you this time, I have more ideas. According to our age difference, if you want, you can be my own granddaughter in the future. Okay?" he said, waiting for me to speak.
I was stunned and withdrew my gaze from the floating corpse to look at him.
He had a kind smile on his face and a shallow smile in his eyes.
"I do. Grandpa!" I said, tears fell out of my eyes without warning.
"Okay, good! In the future, both of us will be surnamed Gu. He hurriedly wiped my tears for me, and after a little thought, named me Gu Thrush.
Hundreds of thousands of voices move at will, and the mountain flowers are red and purple trees.
I knew that the lock listened to the golden cage, and it was not as free as the forest.
He named me Thrush in the hope that I would be able to fly freely like a thrush on the branches full of red, red, purple and purple mountain flowers, and to sing happily as I wished on the treetops like a thrush.
Life should be wanton, and the white head is also a teenager.
An unbridled life is also the goal he has pursued all his life.
"Gu thrush. Nice to hear!" I smiled with tears in my eyes, and my heart was full of happiness and stability that I had never seen before.
If time could be paused, I would like to freeze it in this moment.
At this time, the two floating corpses moved again, and sank into the sea at the same time, with the Lianjia ship as the center, and the previous hovering trajectory as the edge of the whirlpool suddenly appeared.
Lian's boat was ripped downward, and Grandpa immediately cut his palm with his fingernails and squeezed blood into the charm he had drawn on the side of the boat.
The spell that had already dried up then glowed slightly red, and two muffled sounds were heard from under the water at the same time.
The whirlpool disappeared suddenly, and the family boat returned to the surface.
The boatman remained very calm, and continued to be silent and only focused on rowing.
Lianjia's boat continued to move forward and sailed away from its place, and a puddle of broken corpses emerged from under the water, and was quickly thrown away by Lianjia's boat.
The rest of the trip went smoothly, the grandfather crossed his knees and closed his eyes to breathe, and the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When we arrived at our destination, it was still dark, and my grandfather's trauma was only scarred.
The destination is a shallow bay where dozens of family boats are docked.
In the silt on the shore, there are simple thatched huts or water sheds made of bamboo and wood, straw or reeds woven into walls and roofs.
My grandfather took me aboard a family boat in the shallow bay and told the boatman to get me some sets of clothes, shoes, socks and hats.
The boatman rowed away in silence.
Grandpa then took me into the cabin and got a piece of his clothes for me to change into, then found cooked food for me to fill my stomach, and then took two pencil shaped objects and handed them to me.
The two objects are made of Ugin, black to the extreme, with a warm and calm texture, each with a round hole in the center, riveted with a nail, the nail can be flexibly rotated in the hole, and the nail is connected to a set of finger rings.
As I held one in each of my left and right hands, put the ring on my middle finger and touched the protrusion on the ring with the tip of my thumb, a thin, flattened diamond-shaped sharp knife pierced out from both ends of each branch.
The sharp stab of the knife had a cold light, and its sharpness and hardness were not comparable to the dagger I used before.
I then continued to touch the bulge on the ring with the tip of my thumb, and the thin, flat, diamond-shaped sharp knife stabbed back in.
It turned out that the two objects were improved Emei thorns.
I couldn't help but curl my lips and start trying it out.
Emei thorn is also more practical than the dagger, when the fingers are clenched, you can do blocking, piercing, piercing, picking, pushing, hinging, buckle and other action techniques, when you open your hand, you can use the mixing force of the wrist and the plucking of the fingers to make it do quick palm rotation in the hand to confuse the opponent.
Grandpa moved the low table in the cabin to the corner, let me fall behind for a while, and then taught me the moves suitable for the Emei thorn.
I was meticulous and tireless in my studies.
Grandpa was very pleased and sighed that I was a genius in foreign skills.
When the time came to the boatman's return, the boatman quickly parked his family boat and the family boat we were on, flipped over to the family boat we were on, and quickly sent the clothes, shoes, socks and hats he brought back into the cabin.
It was already dawn, and after he entered the cabin and put his clothes, shoes, socks and hat on the table, he suddenly turned into a paper figure and floated into the palm of his grandfather's palm.
It turned out that the boatman was a paper figure that I couldn't see through with my eyes.
The moment the paper figure fell into the palm of his grandfather's palm, the grandfather frowned slightly.
It turned out that the moment the paper figure fell into the palm of the grandfather, there was a message to the grandfather, the old woman had tracked it to the vicinity, and it was still on the shore for the time being, but it was too late for us to hold the boat out of the water at any time.
The Tanka family's boat is divided into front and rear cabins, the front cabin can be moved, and the Tanka family will put down the middle board at night to make a bedroom.
Grandpa then quickly stuffed me with the clothes, shoes, socks and hats that the boat had brought back, and then opened the middle panel of the front cabin for me to hide underneath.
"Grandpa, you can hide in too!" I hurriedly grabbed his hand when I saw that Grandpa was about to close the middle plate after I got to the bottom of the boat.
"Good girl, if we all hide, we will become turtles in the urn. In case, grandpa said just in case, in case you are hungry and grandpa hasn't come to open the middle plate, don't panic. Grandpa, that's just that he can't protect you for the time being, you have to take care of yourself. Grandpa smiled lightly and pushed my hand away, and was about to close the middle plate again.
"Grandpa, you can hand me over!" my tears burst again.
"Girl, don't talk like this again. Although the old woman is unpredictable, grandpa is not a master to be messed with. Grandpa promised that even if it happened, no matter where you went later, Grandpa would find you again and pick you up again. "Grandpa has spoken so far, and he has closed the middle board without giving me a chance to say more.
The surrounding darkness was silent, and I clenched the Emei in my hand and sat down in the corner, hugging my knees and wondering if Grandpa could cope with the next danger.
