Chapter 64: The Song of Immortality

When it was dark, we came to the water source, hidden between the cliff face and the valley, deep in the green iris and primrose, the source of the island's only freshwater stream.

We, me, and this woman who refused to be named, and only knew that her identity was Navy for the time being, she herself admitted that she was in the Navy, maybe there was a bit of compensation? Compensate her for refusing to tell me my full name, so that I, the 'savior', have a sense of psychological loss?

Anyway, that's probably what happened, right?

When I was in the cave, her mouth was as tight as a mussel shell, and although I didn't mean to get to the bottom of it, the atmosphere that was originally peaceful seemed a little cold, and then... Belch~

It's very strange that this woman who seems to be indifferent and unapproachable is unexpectedly very sensitive to the ups and downs of other people's feelings, and I was about to ask for a parting of ways, and she just... Uh~ Raise an objection first.

It shouldn't be an objection, she is saying that it is too rash to light the signal for help, which is likely to attract uninvited guests.

Because of this island, she didn't know exactly where it was located, only that it was one of the seven routes in the first half of the Great Passage, where her fleet had been chasing a notorious pirate group, and the two sides were fighting in full swing, and then, for various reasons, she was wounded and fell overboard, where the current took her in a coma... She didn't know anything.

Personally, I said that the extent of her remarks is still up for debate, but there is only one point that she is quite pertinent.

Before the situation is clear, it is indeed not good to be too eager to light the beacon fire for help.

Because, in addition to rescuers, half of the ships that sail to the nearby waters and receive a signal to come... Up to no good.

After all, this is a great waterway, and the fleets that have the ability to sail on this unpredictable sea, the navy, pirates, and caravans, the possibilities of the three are equally divided, and counting what she said, the naval battle not long ago...

Even if you can't get a pirate head-on unless you're really lucky, even if it's a caravan... Danger varies.

Don't think that merchant ships are all legitimate business~ There are also a large number of people who will smuggle violated/contraband/goods and sell/sell/person/mouth.

I wasn't in the mood to gamble with fate, at least, until the only two humans on the island were mortally injured and her recuperated spirit was too good to afford another fierce battle.

If the person who comes is not good, how can she wait until she can... You can only protect yourself, right?

…………

So~ it's like this.

We left the cave and went to the source of the stream, where we prepared to use it as a temporary camp.

…………

The stream in the depths of the greenery, as it had been when I left, in the silent mountain streams, in the open areas, on the pebbled beaches near the shore, even the things I had not had time to take with me were in their place.

I walked over and put them away, then I straightened up and turned my head to look at the person who was left behind.

She stood a few meters away, unguarded and lukewarm, and of course, didn't speak, except for asking for directions before we agreed to leave the cave.

When I told her that the destination was a water source and that the route had been surveyed, she followed her all the way, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, as if she were handing over everything to me.

I know she's actually... Hmm~ I don't have an opinion about her, it's just that she doesn't believe anything like this, and I don't have a reason to continue to be hot, do I?

After a quiet moment (the two of us staring at each other), I stooped down to put a few things on the ground, then turned around and walked to the high ground on one side of the stream.

As for what will happen to the person behind her, I think it~ In order to prevent her from being inexplicably suspicious, it's better to be less nosy, anyway, she already has some spirit, and the external injuries on her body are cleaned up... Just let her figure it out on her own.

I left herbs on the ground, which I had found before and had no time to take away, and she also had a few in her hand; The special medicine from the Naval Science Department could save her life, but the trauma still needed to be treated.

For me, since kindness will be struck by lightning, then I... There's no need to touch nails, really.

…………

After a while, I walked to the high ground, found a place to sit down, a dead tree that had fallen to the ground at the edge of the woods, and then... Slowly glanced at the past, and the place just now, the thing that was put was gone.

The man had already walked to the stream, and just stood upright, with a few leaf bags on his feet, in addition to the ones she had taken herself, and the few things I had just put down... It's an acceptance of kindness.

I stared at her silently for a few seconds, and when she turned her head uncomfortably, she turned her gaze away from interest, looked around casually, and then looked up at the sky again.

A line of sunset in the depths of the sky is fading, and the indigo night is spreading, like a thick and colorful picture scroll.

The scenery is still so beautiful, I look at the sky, my mind is a little trance for a while, I have been in a different world for so many years, I have seen countless sunrises and moonsets, in addition to the homeland that can never go back, only the world where Anna is located, makes me feel so beautiful.

Indescribable, unique.

Probably... Is it because of the 'place of the heart'? There is no other sky that fascinates me.

…………

Next, Xu was absent-minded, in short, I don't know how long it took, and when I came back to my senses and put away the untimely sadness, the sky had completely darkened.

Lowering his head, he first raised his hand and rubbed his somewhat uncomfortable neck, and then, following the sound of paddling, he raised his eyes to look at the stream———— shrouded in starlight and moonlight, the person was standing in the middle of the water, and the upper body of Quan Guo...

Uh~ Immediately after that, I was glared at fiercely.

Although the sky was dark, the sight of the volley... With a deep, annoyed and angry meaning.

As for why, with such poor visibility, the meaning of the man's eyes can still be clearly heard, I can only say... Her aura is really powerful, and this is also subtly similar to Marlingford's Akainu general.

Quickly twisting my face to the other side, I shhh Fever on the face.

It's all because the moonlight is so good, I think.

She stood in the waist-length stream, her water-soaked skin was soft and moist, her shoulders were broad and flat, her waist was lean, and she was tall... Chest... When he turned around halfway, his posture was like a bow full of strings, tough and strong, full of strength and beauty.

Uh~ After thinking about it, I touched my nose again and laughed dryly.

If you replace the woman with a small head, big breasts, and a cold breath in the middle of the stream with a man, it doesn't matter if it's plain or unremarkable, or it's ups and downs, it's a normal BG direction.

Lily or something... Although I always like to use 'gender incorrectness' as an excuse to politely refuse to be introduced by my colleagues and neighbors in the Navy Hospital, this does not mean that my orientation is wrong.

In short, I was stunned and caught just now...

It's really embarrassing that I can't help but want to cover my face.

…………

A moment later, just when I was half embarrassed and half weak, I heard the sound of broken feet in my ears.

From the direction of the stream.

Settled, and as the sense of existence slowly approached, I slowly turned my face.

The man went ashore, approached barefoot on the pebble beach, walked all the way down the water, and as a result, he was half-bodyed, and his pants were still on, but the fabric was close to the look...

Uh~ The corner of my eyes twitched heavily, and I was about to look away again, when the man turned around and walked a few meters away, which is the crown of the dead tree I was sitting on, and then raised his hand and shook it away... A few pieces of cloth to dry them on the branches.

A few long strips of thin cloth, the color of which I contributed the hem of the long skirt, were torn open by her and used as bandages; Another shirt that was so torn that it was hard to see the prototype, two dark cylindrical trouser legs... Right?

When she was done, she didn't look at me, and then she got busy.

First, I turned back to the bank of the stream and took a few cleaned leaves, and then went into the woods behind... It didn't take much time to find a large pile of dead branches and broken wood, judging from the movement, it should have been chopped with a Hailou stone dagger that never left his hand.

Eventually, she found two stones out of nowhere and struck them on each other to light a bonfire.

The action was clean, and there was no weakness that a person who was injured at all, and besides, she was better suited to the wild than I was, and seemed to be well-trained.

I admire, by the way... Very speechless.

If nothing else, it's that she didn't wear a shirt, so I don't know where to put a pair of eyes, and if this person is nothing, I don't know if there is no one else on the island? Still is...

…………

The lit bonfire added a touch of warmth to the cool night, and the golden red fireworks jumped over the fragile wood fibers, occasionally bursting into a 'crackling' sound, and the man raised the fire between me and her, about a meter each.

She sat cross-legged, bowing her head to tending to the wounds on her body, using the same herbs from earlier, or... Relaxed? The face reflecting the firelight, the expression between the eyebrows seemed softened.

It took a while for her first time to take the initiative to speak, asking what she was holding with her fingertips, "What is this?" ”

"The rhizome of a fern that stops bleeding with it." Glancing over, I shrugged and replied, "You don't have to." "I know why she asked, the plant rhizome in her hand, is uh~ I don't know if there is a record of its medicinal effects here, in short, it is...

An earthen medicine that I know.

The fluffy puppy hair-like thing on its rhizome can stop the bleeding.

This navy girl is very vigilant, I think, what is uncertain, she must not worry, I was too anxious before, there are too few medicinal plants growing on this island, ahh~ Forget it, anyway, she needs to clean up the carrion first, in short, I don't care.

Seeing that she got the answer, she put the rhizome aside, so I got up, and Shi Shiran took a step.

"Where are you going?"

When I was bypassing the campfire, there was such a sentence from behind, with a low and hoarse voice, and the timbre was indistinguishable.

"Take a bath."

I didn't turn my head back, so I stretched out.

The people behind me didn't speak again, so I walked towards the stream.

It's strange that in other worlds, I don't perceive my own... It should be said that it is the passage of time, right? The stomach will be hungry, but it doesn't matter if you don't eat, and there will be no strange reactions on the body, such as uh ~ metabolism.

It's like the whole person is within some kind of invisible barrier, and in the time when I am in another world, my time is independent.

It's different when you come back here, I don't know how to describe it, but... The body gives the signal directly.

Real, more real demand signals than the previous times when I was in another world.

I'm going to be cold, I'm going to be hungry, obviously, I'm sweating a lot, and now I'm sticky, I can't do it without a shower.

As for the change of clothes... Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the 'strips of cloth' hanging from the treetops, and I thought it would not be a big deal to follow her example. Anyway, it's just two of them, and she has one of them, uh~ There is no question of whether zài takes advantage of it.

Although I have heard that there are many men in the navy whose orientation is unknown, the female navy... It should all be fine... Right?

…………

Speaking of which, there is only one inconvenience.

Standing in the shallowest water of this stream, I bowed my head and silently twitched the corners of my mouth.

Devil Fruit ability, in addition to not falling into the sea, a certain amount of water will also cause detachment, embarrassed, Marinfud's house is equipped with a vertical bath shower, because I am afraid that I will drown in the bathtub.

Uh~ Now standing in the water deep to the calf position is the limit, a little deeper, I... I'm going to go limp.

Thereupon... Just wipe it off?

I started to act at the same time as I made up my mind, because of the psychological barrier, I moved quickly, wiped the sweat stains indiscriminately, felt the stickiness on my skin disappear, and stopped, I didn't even dare to wash my hair, just coiled them up.

By the way, I washed the skirt that had become super short, and then, wearing a fat corset, walked back to the campfire, because I really didn't have the courage to run, and the sweaty underwear, I had to continue to wear.

…………

During the time she freshened up, the campfire became crowded, not because there were more people, but because she had broken off a few branches of the trees where the 'clothes' were drying and set them by the fire, apparently intending to dry them as much as possible.

Probably because the view was obscured, and when I went around and folded back a well-shaped branch to hang my skirt with it, the man by the fire casually raised his eyes————

Then, for some reason, she glanced at me, who was sticking the branch in the same place as her roasted shirt, and then twisted her head violently, so hard that I even heard the clatter of her neck joints, and I don't know if it was twisted.

I am baffled by this.

The branch was stuck near the fire, and the dripping skirt was slightly flattened, and when I was done, I turned and sat down from another position, the direction she was looking, and prepared to walk back to my original position.

That is, when I walked in front of her, I glanced at it casually out of the corner of my eye, and I found that she... The look on his face was very strange.

The original gloomy expression became a little distorted, and it would not be too much to say that it was embarrassing.

Seeing me walk over, she jerked her head away again, her face turned, she paused and stopped stiffly, the light of the campfire at night outlined a distinct side face, the corners of her eyes were slanted, a look of half shame and half annoyance, plus some strange expressions that could not be said.

So, I walked to her and snorted angrily, "Don't look like I'm shameless, okay?" I've been looking at your boobs for most of the day, girl. ”

Although you sit on the ground and look directly at my chest, you are also a woman, and your behavior is more unrestrained than me, and now I am ashamed to walk around like a fish in the throat, what are you going to do?!

I've been putting up with it for a while!

The grace of saving lives~

Keeping a distance close to the tip of her nose, I squinted my eyes, bared my teeth, and said in a puff, "Is this the attitude towards the life-saving benefactor, girl?" If we are not the same gender, now is the time to consider making a personal promise! ”

Isn't that what the story says? There was no way to repay the grace of saving his life, so he had to promise it with his body.

In Marlingford, I've heard a lot of uh~ gossip, and there's a lot of it in the navy... Men's romantic affairs, weren't they all 'life-saving graces' at the beginning? When he was stationed outside, he rescued the people who had been plundered by pirates, and some of them fell in love with the generals and soldiers who saved them.

Although I haven't considered coercion, but girl, your attitude is really unpleasant~

…………

This person, somehow, I got closer, her whole person leaned back slightly, avoiding the look, and when I looked at me angrily, her eyebrows gently clenched a vertical line, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything, but... The gaze grew strange.

The gaze firmly grasped the person, a pair of indifferent and dark eyes, and an indescribable look slowly appeared under the eyes.

Very, very weird, if I had to describe it... It should be a fierce light, not killing intent, not hostile, but another kind of meaningful look, which makes me suddenly feel a chill down my spine.

After a while, the man squinted his eyes slightly, and his leaning back body slowly straightened up, little by little, approaching with a strange aura.

I shook unconsciously, laughed weakly, and waved my hand, "Just kidding, girl, if you like it." "Hehehe~ While laughing dryly, I tried to evacuate without a trace, and the momentum of a few seconds ago had already been stared at by her food-like gaze.

"It's fine." She said in a hoarse voice, words with unknown meaning, and quickly stretched out her hand as she spoke... It was pressed on my arm, and the force was neither light nor heavy, but it was strangely so strange that I did not dare to continue to act rashly.

With thick calloused fingertips, the intention was unknown———— and then she was heard to say, "Promise by body? ”

Feed?! I was so shocked that goosebumps broke out all over my body, but before I could react, the man suddenly withdrew his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, withdrew his hand, and with a twist of his wrist, his fingertips slid over the corners of her lips, "What did you find?" ”

"No, no, no!" When I saw that this was not good, I shook my head desperately and stumbled to explain, "I am joking girl, how can I be interested in women." ”

So, don't set foot on the road of no return, girl! I'm joking, really!

Shaking my head like a rattle, I tried to put on a amiable appearance, "I'm married." ”

She looked at me for a moment, looked me up and down a few times, and raised her eyebrows again, "Marriage?" ”

"Yes, I'm married, hehehe~" I stepped back cautiously, while continuing to remedy, "Speaking of which, I am the same as you~ He is also a navy." ”

…………

After that, she was quiet for a while, and her eyes were wrong, as if she was uh~ judging the truth of my words, and after a while, this person restrained the strange meaning in his eyes, his lips sank slightly, and he said in a dumb voice, "Then don't flirt with men casually." ”

I hurriedly turned around, took out the speed at which the dog was chasing behind me, and ran back to my original position, curled up and sat down, and finally, carefully rolled my eyes through the campfire.

'Don't flirt with men', listen! Listen up! How domineering this is, but are you a man or a girl?! Your boobs are bigger than mine, fall!

She complained and vomited for a long time, and finally, the resentment caused by the fright was interrupted by the bag she threw over through the campfire... Smashed in my arms, on the fruit wrapped in konjac leaves.

She didn't say anything, just stared at me, then got up and walked over to a few branches of the rags by the fire, tried their drying methods, then took them off, and stood there and began to bind the wounds.

It didn't take long for her subordinates to wrap up a few severe injuries on her body, then put on her tattered shirt, and finally, she held a temporary bandage left in her hand that she didn't know what to do, and the corners of her eyes squinted, "That wound on your waist..."

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, touched my waist with my backhand, and then reacted, "That's not an injury, it's born." "I guess she was referring to the marks in the lower back, right? When I look at it at night, it does look like a wound if I don't pay attention, so I can...

Left a bandage for me?

After thinking about it, I wasn't so depressed, she was joking, because I was joking before, right?

However, even if it seems difficult to get along on the surface, the kindness of this person in terms of details... More or less made up for the previous indifference.

So ah~

I squinted my eyes and smiled, "It looks like a knife wound, but it's brightly colored, don't worry, it's not blood." "That's the birthmark, mine, the imprint that I brought from past lives to this life.

It's also because of it that I always remember that I still have a past life, instead of going crazy and mentally confused.

The traces in the hidden location, even Nana didn't know about it~ Today I actually called a stranger to find out, it's really...

A kind of fate, right?

…………

At this moment, Xu was laughed inexplicably by me, her face was calm, a little unpleasant, but her expression made me laugh more... Brisk up.

It's just a pity ... Soon, I couldn't laugh.

On this island, it is close to the middle of the night, far off the coast, and someone is landing.
