Jiang Yuanxi opened his eyes, and everything was like a dream.

It started without warning, and ended without any foreshadowing.

It's unremarkable, but it's hard to ignore.

The sound of the horn of the car behind her prompted the girl to come back to her senses, the black pupils were so unique in the Western street, the boy in the car whistled, his head stuck out of the window, and shouted to the girl who was standing on the side of the road and looking behind her, "Beauty, do you want to have some wine with your brothers?"

Flirting with frivolous words, Jiang Yuanxi just hooked the corners of his lips, turned around and ignored it, and walked to the government building opposite.

Although Philo City is a little isolated, the development of the entire Crusader is very rapid, so Philo City is a relatively advanced city no matter how backward it is.

The government building was renovated a few years ago, and now it is on Martin Street in the west of the city, the tallest building at a glance, with a red cross engraved on the front of the building, which is the national emblem of the Crucifixion.

Jiang Yuanxi walked into the government building, and the staff in overalls inside were already familiar with the daughter of the mayor's family, and they all got up or said hello.

Jiang Yuanxi responded with a smile and walked to the mayor's office on the third floor.

Jiang Yuanxi knocked on the door, until there was a sound inside, then he walked into the office, and when he saw Jiang Yuanxi entering the door, Eriyi's eyes couldn't help but light up, full of surprise.

DeWitt smiled and folded his hands on his chin, looking at Jiang Yuanxi who came to the door, his eyes were full of pampering and pride.

This is the girl he watched grow up little by little, quite a feeling of an old father, but he was a little melancholy, and he didn't know which young man was going to be taken away by his slim daughter.

Thinking of this, DeWitt was a little depressed, narrowed his eyes slightly, and even his smile was not so cheerful.

"Teacher Eriyi, why are you here? Isn't it that school hasn't started yet?" Jiang Yuanxi looked at the woman in the office in surprise, because she had written a letter before, and the two of them had also sent photos to each other, so it was not strange to know Eriyi, the strange thing was that Eriyi would appear here, Jiang Yuanxi felt a little incredible, but he also thought of DeWitt for the first time.

"School starts in a few days, and I'm here to pick you up and go to Newland City to familiarize yourself in advance. Eri's gentle smile gives people a sense of reassurance, unlike the mavericks of Western women who pursue freedom and independence, Eri is more like a supple silk, which only makes people feel comfortable.

Jiang Yuanxi was stunned, and then looked at DeWitt next to him, who nodded, "Didn't you pack up your things in advance?" It's good to go to Newland City to have a look, it's much more prosperous than Philo City." ”

Jiang Yuanxi couldn't say how happy she was, although she had always wanted to see the outside world and experience more things, but ...... If she was going to leave this person, her heart was still a little sour.

Eri looked at the two of them, her eyes moved back and forth, and she smiled, "I still have some business, I'll pick you up at Mr. Leo's house early tomorrow morning and leave together." ”

"Hmm. Jiang Yuanxi didn't have time to react, Dulwich nodded, and Eri greeted in the direction of the person, turned around and walked out the door.

"Why? You didn't hate me for saying that. Jiang Yuanxi couldn't understand why it came so suddenly, "Obviously there is still half a month to go, are you tired of me, and you want to enjoy the world of two people with your sweetheart, right?

Jiang Yuanxi didn't come back to her senses for a long time, such a reaction shouldn't have been, but she had a hunch that if she left this time, she would lose some people.

She didn't know exactly what would happen, but the person who had been with her for ten years would never be seen again.

Sadness, those eyes that have not shed tears for nearly eight years, just like this, suddenly wept, fell to the ground, and suffered to the heart.

DeWitt approached her and rubbed her head, even if she was tall, she was still a little girl who had just reached her shoulders.

"In this world, no one can accompany you to the end, you owe me, you have paid off since the moment you saved my life eight years ago, you are you, Jiang Yuanxi, you should have your own life. In this vast world, nothing can be your bondage. ”

Your soul is free, and your life is your own.

DeWitt meditated in his heart, took the girl into his arms, and greedily breathed the fragrance of flowers in her hair,

"Where do I have a sweetheart, you girl, not a few years older, there are a lot of cranky thoughts, if you have a sweetheart, what difference is there between you and you?"

Jiang Yuanxi pursed his mouth slightly, his hand clenched the corner of the man's clothes, and choked up, "But, but...... I can't bear you. ”

DeWitt smiled, "What's so reluctant? It's not life and death, you can come back to see me after the holidays, and one day you may bring your future boyfriend to meet my old father-in-law, I really hope you can spend this life normally." ”

Jiang Yuanxi muttered, "Where is there a father-in-law who is younger than his son-in-law." ”

DeWitt chuckled softly, "I'm not young anymore, I have gray hair." ”

As soon as the words fell, he felt that the girl in his arms was obviously stiff, and raised his head in surprise to look at the man's head, but at some point it had turned gray hair, and his face was no longer like a young man, with more wrinkles and furrows.

Jiang Yuanxi's hand slowly raised, slowly touching the man's face, a little rough and uneven, and no longer angular, and it seemed to be no different from the middle-aged man outside.

"You...... You ......" Jiang Yuanxi wanted to ask why, he could have been so handsome in his life, he was such a proud person, but now he ...... But it's aging.

DeWitt's eyes are very gentle, nostalgic, and gratifying, but more of a father's love and expectation for his daughter.

"Go ahead, the outside world is always for you to walk by yourself, if you are tired one day and want a place to rest, then come back, I am always here. ”

"Hmm. Jiang Yuanxi nodded, lowered his eyes, and the tears in his eyes were rolling.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

What's more, it is a sincere affection, Jiang Yuanxi's heart is being warmed little by little, and he is gradually feeling the warmth of this world.

I left the town of Philo by steamer, and at first there were not many people on board, but as we continued to get on the boat from the port, the ship became much more lively.

Jiang Yuanxi kept looking behind him from the aft seat, as if he could see the man who was sending him away on the harbor of Philo City.

Like a father and a brother, let yourself begin to accept the world, and let yourself feel the warmth of this world.

"Even if you look at it again, that person won't follow. The person who suddenly appeared, a familiar and unfamiliar voice, Jiang Yuanxi looked at the person next to him, there was no anger, no complaining, only one sentence,

"Long time no see. ”

Xiao Han bent the corners of his lips, looking like he was in a good mood, "Yes, long time no see." You look more like a person. ”

Jiang Yuanxi blinked his eyes and said with a wry smile, "Are you praising me or are you mocking me? Where does anyone say that others are like people?"

Xiao Han smiled and said, "In Li Guo's writing, a pinch is a person, and it is the simplest word, maybe there are not many people who can write this word well, and there are even fewer who can do it well, and it is not easy to be like a person." ”

Jiang Yuanxi looked at the sea water that retreated from the bottom of the boat and corrected, "This is the Crusader. ”

Xiao Han looked at this little girl who looked like she had left home and lost her soul, and said softly, "It's the same everywhere, the truth is all right." ”

Everyone understands the truth, but if it's really your turn, whether you can figure it out is another matter.

Eight years is enough time for a person to grow up, but for Jiang Yuanxi, although she is eighteen years old, she is only eight years old.

This strange world is the person's unwarm palm to bring himself into this world and let himself experience the unique charm here.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you for letting me take him away at that time. Jiang Yuanxi lowered his eyes, and there was a flash of loss in his eyes.

Xiao Han said, "If I don't let go, your posture at that time will be desperate with me, I'm not very kind to others, but I'm still very interesting to my subordinates." As long as it's not too much, I won't be too hard for you to raise your hand. ”

Jiang Yuanxi pursed her lips, although what Xiao Han said was quite touching, she always had a little awkward feeling, perhaps because of what Xiao Han said.

She still doesn't know what the truth is, but she's done as much as she can.

As for whether Xiao Han knew it, and why she didn't stop herself if she knew, Jiang Yuanxi didn't want to think about it or think about it more, it was in vain to think about it with her IQ, so it was better to take it slowly.

"You don't believe it?" Xiao Han asked.

Jiang Yuanxi didn't say anything, but the meaning was already obvious.

Xiao Han looked at her and shook his head, "You will understand in the future, the only person in this world who can believe is yourself." Even your guardians will betray you. ”

Jiang Yuanxi was slightly stunned and looked at Xiao Han next to him, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Han curled the corners of his lips, "Take your time." Life is all about experiencing it for yourself. ”

With a meaningful smile, Jiang Yuanxi was creepy, and in an instant, someone on the boat shouted, "There are pirates!"

"That's a pirate!"

"Ready!"

“......”

The successive calls had to make people face up to the movement over there, Jiang Yuanxi suddenly remembered the two people, glanced at Xiao Han, his eyes were a little cold, and hurriedly ran to the front deck, sure enough, on the big ship opposite, she saw the mark of black jasmine.

Lan Xi's boat, but the young man in white was nowhere to be seen on the boat.

Jiang Yuanxi tried his best to calm down his emotions, not because of the excitement of the reunion after a long absence, but because of the anger of this arrangement.

She is sure that today's events are inseparable from that person, and she is partial, and now that person is watching the play leisurely on the side.

What exactly did he plan to arrange this scene?

The garrison on a passenger ship is simply incomparable to that on a pirate ship.

He is already the holy lord of the Holy Lord's Temple, presiding over the entire time and space of the district, and is admired by all people.

Jiang Yuanxi couldn't figure out why he did this, because in her opinion, it was unnecessary.

Unless, on this boat, there is the soul he wants, the soul that is close at hand, under the pretense of someone else's hand.

Jiang Yuanxi's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked around, whose soul could make him so troublesome.

In the end, Jiang Yuanxi's gaze fell on a young man, and coincidentally, the young man was also looking in her direction.

When they looked at each other, Jiang Yuanxi recognized that the boy was the boy in his memory, Hobbsdil.

Jiang Yuanxi gasped, she understood that Xiao Han wanted him.

Only Xiao Han's soul is golden, the unique color of the entire ship.

"Yuanxi, what's wrong?" Seeing Jiang Yuanxi's worried face, Jiang Yuanxi gritted his teeth, praying in his heart that his guess was wrong, hoping that Lan Xi could turn to another road.

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Lan Xi's ship still sailed over, and soon the watch detained the entire steamer and turned it into his own territory.

Today's Lan Xi is also a high-spirited young man, with a little more maturity and vicissitudes in his gestures, there is a short-haired man, an oriental face, holding a girl's hand and walking to the steamer, Jiang Yuanxi, who was forced to squat in the corner, took a look, it was Li Xiangqing, and as for the girl, it was a mermaid in the water.

However, she can't see the story of Lee Sang-qing and the girl.

"Okay, how can you meet pirates?" Eriyi is a Xiyue clan, so she is naturally not afraid of pirates, and the reason why she is quiet is not to startle the snake.

Money can be lost, but if the identity is revealed, it is not a good thing.

Jiang Yuanxi's silence was to know if things would develop in the direction he guessed, if not, then his own painting would be counterproductive.

Lan Xi walked to the ship, glanced around, and as expected, stopped on the deck, but the crew ran to the cabin to arrest people.

"This boat is the ship of the Deere family, I don't believe that there is no one from the Deere family!" Lan Xi sneered, the hatred in his eyes was shocking and terrifying.

Although Jiang Yuanxi didn't know what was going on, she knew that today's incident was definitely not a coincidence.

Lan Xi and the Dill family must have a personal grudge, but the rumor was given by the people on the ship, not necessarily Xiao Han himself, but the result was something he liked to see.

Fox!

Jiang Yuanxi thought in his heart, all the people have unknowingly become his pawns, and there is no solution to this game, unless, he exposes his identity, but if this is the case, DeWitt's painstaking efforts to give himself comfort will disappear.

Soon, the crew brought people in, and Hobbes stood out, for he had a face that the crew would never forget, and a great resemblance to his father.

Throwing the boy on the deck mercilessly, the boy who hit his shoulder let out a muffled snort, his hands were tied behind his back, although he was robbed by robbers, but the boy's face was calm and calm, neither humble nor arrogant, this is the bearing that the sole heir of the Dill family should have.
