Chapter 180: Peach Blossom Luck? Peach Blossom Tribulation? (viii)
From time to time, escapees swam from the sea to the pier on the dilapidated stone pier, which was constantly battered by huge waves, and with the help of the people on the pier, they were pulled ashore one after another.
Fortunately, after the final count, except for the two lieutenants in charge of the guard, the whereabouts of the other entourages were all ashore.
The staff left behind at the Xiaweiyu Post Station who discovered the situation had already come to the wharf with rainproof rain gear at this time.
Everyone hurriedly escorted Shen Weijing and his entourage into the post station not far away.
By this time it was completely dark. The entire island is shrouded in endless darkness.
The storm seemed to drown the island in the Bohai Bay, and the rain poured down to turn every corner of the island into a river.
Behind the north gate of the station, the tall pine trees in the black pine forest, the only one on the island, blew from side to side. The blown pine branches and leaves fell to the ground in the yard of the post station, covering the whole yard with branches and leaves.
Shen Weijing and his entourage had dinner and briefly listened to the report of the staff in the post station.
Fortunately, the large and small stations in the post station have been safely driven into the sheltered harbor in the post station by the staff of the post station before the storm comes.
Although the station boat that Shen Weijing and the others took when they came was completely damaged, as long as the wind and rain stopped, the peace envoys could completely transfer to the station boat in the post station and continue to move forward.
Shen Weijing, who had been tired all day, finished arranging what he needed to do, and immediately hid in the best room arranged for him by the post station staff to rest.
It was a small suite, with a clean square table and two Taishi chairs on the outside. Tea and fruits from the island are placed on the table. The floor is paved with square bluestone. Due to the relatively high terrain of the whole post station, the bluestone ground is quite dry.
The inner room is the bedroom. The room is located against the east wall, and a large wooden bed occupies almost half of the room. The south wall of the room was obscured by a dark purple coarse cloth curtain.
Shen Weijing walked to the curtain and stretched out his hand to open the curtain. Behind the curtains, there is a small window. Although the windows were closed, the howl of the wind outside could still be heard. Dense raindrops kept beating on the window lattice, making bursts of sound.
Shen Weijing pulled back the curtains, took off his clothes, blew out the red candle on the table next to the bed, and lay down in the soft quilt.
"Hey, I've been walking around the ghost gate again!" Ringing the moment of life and death that he had just experienced, Shen Weijing was full of emotion.
Now there are two things that make Shen Weijing so worried that he can't sleep for a long time: the first thing is whether the female ninja named Michiko Kato can send him the antidote on time; The second thing is who saved his Shen Weijing's life in the seawater.
For the first thing, Shen Weijing didn't have much hope. Now that he is on an isolated island in the middle of the vast sea, in this stormy sea, this female ninja must not have such great energy in front of her.
Shen Weijing regretted a little, regretting that he didn't ask Michiko Kato for a few more antidotes in advance for use during the sea voyage.
For the second thing, at that time, Shen Weijing clearly heard that it was a woman who rescued herself from behind. But there were no female attachΓ©s in the entourage. There are also all men in this station.
It is said that the person who saved his life should go ashore. Just imagine, in such harsh sea conditions, it is impossible for ordinary people to survive in the sea for a long time.
Shen Weijing wondered if he was hallucinating at that time, and felt that it was
Because he moved the heavens by accumulating virtue and doing good deeds on weekdays, he sent a goddess to rescue him. Shen Weijing always feels good about himself.
At dawn the next day, Shen Weijing, who had barely slept all night, simply lay on the bed and couldn't afford it.
The staff at the inn had to deliver the food to his room.
Shen Weijing simply ate a little, and then lay on the bed and thought about his thoughts.
The rain was still pouring down.
Shen Weijing, who was lying on the bed, was in a gloomy mood like the bad weather outside.
Other personnel thought that Shen Weijing was sick from the rain, and came over to pay a visit. The staff in the post station hurriedly delivered medicine and ginger soup.
Shen Weijing simply pretended to be sick and let the other personnel keep him busy all day.
After dark, Shen Weijing told the guards that he felt much better, and without his order, don't come to disturb him, he wanted to sleep well.
The others naturally did not dare to disobey Shen Weijing's order, and after saying good night, they left the room and went back to their rooms to rest.
Shen Weijing didn't feel sleepy at all. The reason why he took everyone away was because tonight it was time for Michiko Kato to send him the antidote. Although he didn't have much hope that Michiko Kato would be able to come in time to deliver the antidote, his strong desire to survive still made Shen Weijing feel a little lucky.
As soon as the others left, Shen Weijing walked to the window and looked out. In the past, Michiko Kato broke in every time he sent him an antidote.
The wind and rain are still blowing outside the window. The waves crashed against the rocks of the sea under the window.
Shen Weijing opened the window so that once Michiko Kato came, he could open the window smoothly. Fortunately, the huge sea breeze blows in the direction of the window, so that the window that opens outside will not be blown open by the sea breeze.
Shen Weijing watched for a while, but there was no movement. He let out a long sigh and went to the window in disappointment, undressing and sleeping.
Shen Weijing had just laid down when he suddenly heard a knock in the window. He jumped out of bed and ran to the window.
It was not Michiko Kato, who Shen Weijing desperately hoped for, but a pendant on the curtain that touched the window for some reason.
"Fuck, let Lao Tzukong rejoice!" Shen Weijing was disappointed, and angrily ripped off the pendant and threw it into the corner.
At this time, the time has come. Shen Weijing's body began to have an itching reaction.
"I'm dying!" Shen Weijing, who had no hope, simply wrapped the quilt tightly and allowed the itching symptoms to spread all over his body.
"The human heart is insufficient! I want me Shen Weijing to buy land in the capital, make friends with dignitaries, and live a free life! With a thought, he had to take over the errand of the envoys, so that he was targeted by the Japanese people, and finally became trapped on an isolated island in the vast sea. No one knows exactly how they died. Ay! If you want to know today, why bother in the beginning? β
Shen Weijing, who was lying on the bed, was disillusioned at this time, feeling that his end had come.
"Let's go!" Just as Shen Weijing was lying quietly waiting for death, a soft sound came from the window. But he didn't hold out any hope, and Shen Weijing didn't bother to pay attention to any movement at all. At this time, he only wanted to die quickly, and he was freed from the intense itching.
"Are you in a hurry?"
A familiar voice came into Shen Weijing's ears, and he opened his eyes suddenly, to find that the familiar figure he was eagerly looking forward to was standing ghostly in front of the bed.
"You...... How did you get in? Shen Weijing, who was extremely excited, trembled a little.
"Nonsense
Say less. I took the antidote first. "Michiko Gaten, who was standing in front of the bed, was dressed in a ninja stabbing suit, and her body was already soaking wet.
"Good, good!" Shen Weijing couldn't wait to take the antidote from Michiko Kato's hand, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it.
"You think the antidote won't be in your hands, right?" Michiko Kato saw Shen Weijing take the antidote and said lightly.
"How can it? I have full confidence in you. After taking the antidote, Shen Weijing's symptoms disappeared immediately, and he returned to his flamboyant nature.
Shen Weijing heard Michiko Kato's voice a little hoarse, and asked with concern, "Did you catch a cold from the rain?" β
Michiko Kato braved the rain to send the antidote in time, although it was fulfilling the agreement between the two parties in advance, Shen Weijing still felt an indescribable gratitude to the other party from the heart.
"But what information do you want to report to me?" Michiko Kato didn't seem to pay any attention to the concern expressed in Shen Weijing's words, and asked coldly.
"The vast island, what a rare thing! However, your arrival is a rare event. You think, a slender woman sneaks into a middle-aged man's room when the moon is dark and the wind is high. The next two will ......" Shen Weijing stared at Michiko Kato with a pair of squinting eyes, and began to speak freely.
"If you talk nonsense, I'll kill you!" Before Shen Weijing's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Michiko Katen, and at the same time, Michiko Kato pulled out the ninja knife that was lying diagonally behind her and pointed the tip of the knife at Shen Weijing's throat.
"Don't threaten me. In this Xiaweiyu Station, we will not mention that there are nearly 100 guards and soldiers. As long as I give the order, it will not be a problem to take you down. Shen Weijing faced the sharp blade and said calmly.
"Yes, I'm the only one on this island. I'm sure I can't beat your team of nearly 100 people. However, don't forget, without me providing you with the antidote, you will still have to die sooner or later. Michiko Kato showed no weakness.
"Good. Then I'll call someone now. Shen Weijing said, ready to get out of bed. He actually wanted to tease Michiko Kato. Once his own people and Michiko Kato meet each other, the possible consequences can still be imagined by Shen Weijing.
Unexpectedly, Shen Weijing's pretentious posture actually played an effect on Michiko Kato. Michiko Kato knew very well in her heart that her current task was to follow Shen Weijing along the way to ensure that he could reach North Korea safely.
Seeing Shen Weijing posing as if the fish were dead and the net was broken, Michiko Kato hurriedly put away the knife, stared at Shen Weijing who was sitting on the bed condescendingly and said, "Don't forget, who rescued you in the sea last night." β
"It turned out to be you...... Your life-saving grace will never be forgotten! Thank you for saving your life! Shen Weijing, who had been thinking about it for nearly a whole night last night, never thought that it was Michiko Kato who rescued him from the sea. He "plopped" to his knees and thanked Michiko Kato.
"Alright. Get up. You have to remember that it is we who can protect you from harm; We are the ones who can take your life at any time. Michiko Kato didn't have any expression on her face.
"Yes, I know." Shen Weijing stood up and then asked, "However, how did you follow me on this vast sea?" β
"If you shouldn't know, don't ask. Alright, that's all for today. Leave. Michiko Kato saw that Shen Weijing had no information to offer, so she turned around and walked towards the window.
ββ¦β¦β
Shen Weijing just wanted to say something, but found that Michiko Kato, who walked to the window, stumbled and fell to the ground.
