When he said this, he was talking about the central matter. Since he got sick, the worries, fears, and fears that have been backlogged for so many days have come to my heart, and now I see him slowly getting better, mixed with joy and sorrow, I can't help but hug him and cry. He rubbed his chin against my face, wiped my tears with a handkerchief, and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

He asked the nurse to bring Ruyi and Xue'er in, as soon as Xue'er came in, he opened his hand to let his father hug her, and Zhou Sinian took it very easily, with words in his mouth to make Xue'er happy. Seeing the three of them playing happily in front of me, Zhou Sinian's hands were not as cold and weak as before, and he thought that he would be fine slowly, and his heart was relieved and he fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was time to hold the lights, and the boat was moving at full speed on the canal for a whole day. Zhou Sinian was meditating quietly on the futon, his original blue face and pale lips seemed to be back to normal under the candlelight. Tears welled up in my eyes, and he was finally healed and came back.

Although he was hungry, he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing him, for fear that he would be broken if he was not careful. After a long time, he opened his eyes and saw that I was looking at him motionless, and asked, "Are you hungry?" I nodded: "I'm starving." ”

got up and asked Hui'er to serve the meal, there was no overlapping thoughts in my heart, I felt that I was about to collapse from hunger, and everything was so delicious, and after a while, the wind and clouds were whirling, and a table of meals was poured into my stomach.

Zhou Sinian was beside him, watching me eat in surprise, and kept saying, "Slow down, slow down, be careful of choking, no one will rob you." I ignored him until the last bite of soup was down, and then I rubbed my stomach with satisfaction and burped.

When I rinsed my mouth, brushed my teeth with green salt, and came back from a bath, I saw Zhou Sinian eating slowly and methodically, recalling the appearance of eating just now, I was a little embarrassed, sat next to him, slowly picked up the teacup, and tasted tea. He laughed and said, "The starving ghost is gone? The voice has regained its former deep and pleasant sound.

After Zhou Sinian became ill, his face became more and more blue, his lips were pale and chapped, his hands were always cold, and even his voice was hoarse. Watching him slowly recover, he was so happy in his heart, and now he was teasing him, and he didn't feel anything, saying: "People haven't eaten well for many days, and they're dying of hunger." ”

He didn't speak, and only after a long time did he say, "I'm worried about you." I shook my head, leaned on the table, looked at him and said, "Eat fast, so slowly." He laughed and said, "I'm not a pig." I said, "Then you are a pig." He laughed.

At this moment, the ship seemed to shake. He frowned and said: "These people really don't cry when they don't see the coffin, the river is so cold, and they are not afraid of freezing to death." Then he said to me, "Don't sit by the window, go to bed." "Let Ruyi and Xue'er come in again. Ruyi and Xue'er were already asleep, Zhou Sinian came over and pinched Xue'er's powdery face, and Xue'er "babbled".

He smiled softly, blew out the candle in front of the window, lifted the corner of the curtain on the window, and saw a little black shadow ghostly approaching the big ship from all around. The big ship did not slow down and continued to sail forward. In the quiet of the night, I could hear the sound of the boat being smashed.

The boats continued to come this way, more and more. "Don't be afraid," Zhou Sinian said, "This ship is converted from a warship, and these little fish and turtles don't know whether they are alive or dead." Sure enough, there were several more "squeaks", and several small boats that were approaching were smashed. A few figures turned over and got on the boat, Zhou Sinian put the sword in his hand, and I nervously grabbed his hand.

He smiled lightly: "Don't worry, it won't be my turn to make a move, my warriors in Sun City are much stronger than their rabble, I'm just a little itchy." ”

As he spoke, he saw the samurai on the ship move, blocking the way of the people. Those figures were not weak in martial arts, and their bodies were fast, and in the blink of an eye, they cut down a few people and came in the direction of the cabin. Zhou Yang and Zhou Tong appeared, blocking each other's way and fighting together. A few more figures got on board. My eyesight was excellent in the dark, and I saw Ruyun and Green Bamboo joining in.

Although the martial arts who could get on the boat were good, after all, the number of people was too small, and there were hundreds of samurai on the boat, and finally, these people were forced back into the river. The big boat was still sailing at maximum speed, and after a while, it shook off the encirclement and interception of the small boat. "Strange, why don't Zhou Nan and Zege see each other?" I asked.

Zhou Sinian said: "Aren't they in it? Can you see clearly? This black oppressive crowd. I said proudly, "I have been locked up in a dungeon by you for so many days, and I have lived by counting how many droplets of water have dripped from the walls of the cave." It's best to discern things in the dark. He looked back at me for a long time and said, "My lady is really a prosperous husband." ”

"How?" I wondered what he was saying. But he did not answer, and his expression was solemn.

The next day, cleaning the deck, Zhou Nan came in to report: "Our brothers on this side, sixteen people died and four were seriously injured. Zhou Sinian looked at Zhou Nan and said, "Anan, it's up to you to deal with the aftermath." These are also brothers who have been born and died together. "The first time I heard Zhou Sinian call Zhou Nan "Anan", he used to call "Zhou Nan". Zhou Nan also seemed to be taken aback, looked up at Zhou Sinian, and quickly lowered his head and promised "yes".

"Did any of the enemy die on the ship?" Zhou Sinian saw that he was not leaving, and asked. "Three dead." Zhou Nan replied. Zhou Sinian said: "When you get to the market town ahead, you go ashore to buy a few good coffins and bury them." Zhou Nan agreed. Knowing that he is invincible, why bother to make senseless sacrifices," Zhou Sinian said, "Anan, what do you think? ”

Zhou Nan thought for a long time and said: "The city lord has taught Anan since he was a child that he must be loyal and virtuous. I think they are also loyal to the old master, for the sake of integrity. Zhou Sinian asked with a serious expression: "Old master?" Who was their old master? Zhou Nan replied: "It's the Zhu family of the former dynasty." Zhou Sinian continued to ask: "Then who am I?" Zhou Nan stopped talking when asked.

Zhou Sinian continued: "With the change of dynasties, do you know how many people have to die? For their own selfish interests, they did not hesitate to let so many people die in vain, have you ever thought that these people also have wives and children? This kind of thing, I won't do it in Zhou Sinian. ”

Zhou Nan was silent, Zhou Sinian picked up the ginger tea in front of him, took a sip, stared at Zhou Nan, and asked slowly: "Anan, do you and Qiu Zege think that there is no future with me?" ”

Although I noticed that something was wrong, but Zhou Sinian asked like this, I was still taken aback, and just wanted to speak, Zhou Nan had already bowed to the ground, and said in fear: "City Lord, Anan was confused for a while, and he was bewitched by others, and he won't be like this in the future." ”

Zhou Sinian said sternly: "Later? Those who died, there is no after. They are your brothers! I can't risk the rest of the people continuing to die in vain. ”
