Chapter 010: "Deceased" Friends
Hou Qi hurriedly went to meet "that one", leaving Ding Li and going to the deck. Ding Li, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, couldn't, so he could only return to the boat where the water ghosts rested and stayed.
It is the time when the wind and waves are calm in the afternoon, and the blue waves are thousands of miles away, and you can see it at a glance. A large, ordinary-looking ship slowly approached from the junction of sea and sky, and stopped anchor at the makeshift pier.
Hou Qi couldn't wait any longer, so he stepped onto the boat with an arrow step and went to the cabin to find someone.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy sat steadily, and a little smile appeared on his lips when he saw him enter the door like the wind.
Hou Qi called "Lord", and then knelt down and bowed.
The young man stretched out his hand to block him, "You don't have to be so polite outside, you still call me the Holy Three." ”
Hou Qi knew his temper, so he didn't insist, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted, calling "Third Son".
Sheng San made a gesture of "please", and when he sat down opposite him, he slowly opened his mouth again, "This has always been delayed, so you have been waiting for a long time." ”
"Lord...... What did Childe say? Your business matters, I can wait here for as long as I want. Hou Qida was in awe of his young and old master from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want to add trouble to him, so he never mentioned the fact that the water ghosts were making trouble going home, and asked instead, "Childe came out this time, can the arrangements be made over there?"
"Hmm. Sheng San nodded his head and said lightly, "They are used to me recuperating from my 'illness' behind closed doors." ”
Hou Qi raised his eyes when he heard the words and looked at it carefully, and saw that there was a bruise under him that had begun to dissipate, and he couldn't help but show anger on his face, "It's too much to deceive people......
"Wait seven. Sheng San stretched out his hand and pressed his arm, "It's not in the way, it's just a little flesh and skin injury, just take care of it." ”
Hou Qi wiped away the anger on his face, and his tone was still indignant, "What did Mo Si and Shan Jiu do to eat, and they actually humiliated the son by that bastard......?
"It's none of their business, it's that I don't allow them to do it. Sheng San interrupted him, rubbed the scars on his face with his fingertips, and pulled the corners of his lips almost invisibly, "It's good to hurt, I can feel the pain means I'm still alive." ”
Hou Qi didn't understand the true meaning of his words, and couldn't help but think of things like "lying on the salary and tasting guts", and stared at him emotionally, "Childe has been wronged." ”
Sheng San didn't answer this, picked up the teacup and blew it, took two sips, and then changed the topic, "How is the matter going here?"
"Oh. Hou Qi was busy and reported carefully, "After a few months of verification, the conjecture of the son has been confirmed. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the tide level is highest in the morning and evening, and it is also the time when the current of the whirlpool is the most gentle......"
"Tomorrow will be fifteen. Sheng San raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, I came at the right time." ”
Hou Qi heard a rare interest from his words, and his heart jumped suddenly, "Childe, isn't he planning to go to that island in person?"
Shengsan smiled lightly and acquiesced.
"Never. Hou Qi was immediately anxious, "No matter how gentle it is, it is also a water vortex, and if you are not careful, you will become an underwater ghost." What kind of noble identity is Childe, how can he be in danger like a water ghost?
I really don't understand why Childe has to go to a place of death that is used for exile, and what is there on the island that is worth your trouble?"
It's not that he hasn't asked this before, but the master refuses to reveal it, and he doesn't chase after the farts as a subordinate~ The truth behind the stock is to get to the bottom of it. Left and right is to spend money to hire people to do things, at most he moves his mouth, as long as the master is happy, he obeys the orders to do it.
Sheng San said that he was coming, and he was still bored in one place, looking for a way to come out loosely, and he didn't expect this little master, who had always been calm and old, to have such a dangerous thought.
If there are three long and two short, not to mention that those adults can't spare him, even if he himself can't atone for his sins.
Sheng San didn't say it at first, it wasn't that he couldn't believe Hou Qi, but he was afraid that if he revealed his true intentions, the gang of people below would try to obstruct it. He had so much to do, and he didn't have time to listen to their chatter.
Now that the time is ripe, there is no need to hide it any longer.
"I'm going to the island to find an old friend. ”
Hou Qi blurted out those words in a hurry, and he really didn't expect Sheng San to be able to answer his questions. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then his eyes widened, "What...... What old friends?!"
Although he is not like Four, Five, or Six, he has been with the Holy Three since he was a child, but he has been serving under him for seven or eight years, why has he never heard of any old friends of his master? It is said that Shouzhen Island is full of white bones and unjust souls, how could the old friends of the dignified Holy Third Prince live in such a ghost place?
The Holy Three seemed to be in a good mood and answered all his questions, "An old friend who has been with my god for many years. ”
"Divine Sex?!"
Isn't it true that you haven't seen it? Haven't you seen it? Hou Qiyi stared at Sheng San for a moment, trying to discern the meaning of the joke from the subtle expression on his face. It can be seen that he has a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes are expectant, and he doesn't look like a joke at all.
The mouth was long and closed, closed and opened, "Childe, your old ...... Old friend, could it be that he has already ......"
"She's still alive. Without waiting for the seven questions to get to the point, the Holy Three replied.
Hou Qi wanted to ask, you haven't seen anyone, how do you know that they are still alive? But listening to the unquestionable firmness in his tone, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and pressed down the countless questions that lingered in his heart by the way.
"Childe has been on the boat for a long time, and he has been bumpy all the way, he must be tired, so you can rest first......"
"I'm not tired. Sheng San put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up, "It's true that I'm a little depressed, you can go out for a walk with me." ”
Hou Qi originally wanted to go out to find his companion to find out the news and then make a plan, but he didn't know whether Shengsan's move was intentional or unintentional, so he didn't dare to say that he wouldn't show his face, so he reminded him: "The water ghosts have just gone to sea, so the son should cover up." ”
The saint nodded, took the hat and put it on, and left the cabin with Qiyi. After walking around the bare reef island, he stood still facing in the direction of Shouzhen Island, and muttered to himself, "If I remember correctly, in a few months, she should be twelve years old." ”
As the tide approached, the sea breeze became stronger, whistling in his ears and tearing his voice to pieces.
Rao is Hou Qi's ear strength is amazing, and he couldn't hear what he said clearly, and only faintly captured the word "twelve". I knew it was related to that old friend, but I didn't know what it meant.
lest he be blown into the sea by the wind, he hurriedly leaned into his ear and persuaded loudly: "Childe, the tide is about to rise, you better go to the cabin." ”
Sheng San stood for a while longer, and then returned to the boat as he said.
After Hou Qi settled his master, he called out Shan Jiu, the retinue of the Holy Three, and asked straight to the point: "Do you know who the 'old friend' of the son is?"
