Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Promise on the Yellow Spring Road

At this time, it was already the third watch, and the sail on the bow had already been lowered by Koji Kamiizumi, but the violent wind and waves around them were like the palms of giants, and they slapped palm after palm on their ship, eager to immediately slap this sturdy boat into pieces. Although the boat was able to escape from the wind and waves every time, the situation was also very bad, and the whole boat looked like leaves in the wind, so it could only drift around with the wind and waves, and thanks to the superb skill of Koji Kamiizumi in maneuvering the boat, it was not overturned by the wind and waves.

"Yaga!" Koji Kamiizumi was almost knocked off the boat by a wave, and he was so angry that he even scolded his native language, but this did not reduce his burden in the slightest.

After a fierce battle before, most of Shangquan Hongji's strength has been consumed, and now he is desperately manipulating the ship, so that he can't get any time to rest, and now he is even more exhausted, he can only grit his teeth and hold on, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun in the cabin don't know how to operate the ship at all, if they replace themselves, I'm afraid they will have to capsize in a while. This also made Shangquan Hongji secretly regret it, if he knew that Lu Dao was like this, he should have asked the Xie family to send a master of the boat to accompany him on the boat.

Hearing the sound of Shangquan Honger scolding his mother outside, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun, who had calmed down, were also very worried, now the three of them are on this small boat, if the boat capsizes, in this kind of wind and waves, I am afraid that all three of them will die, so now they are secretly praying in their hearts, hoping that Shangquan Honger must hold on, at least drive the boat to a safe place before dying.

However, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun are obviously not devout believers, and now the temporary prayer of the Buddha has no effect at all, and the wind and waves outside have not only not become smaller. On the contrary, it became more and more violent, and Koji Kamizumi became more and more powerless. Several times the ship was almost overturned by huge waves, and even the cabin was filled with deep water. Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun were all soaked in the icy sea water below their knees.

What's even worse is that the whole boat was thrown up and down by the waves like a toy, although Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun tried their best to fix their bodies, they still inevitably rolled around in the cabin, and the last two were not only bruised and swollen from the fall, but also had a drowsy brain, showing symptoms of seasickness.

It was also in this situation that Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun didn't know when they started, and the two hugged each other tightly again. After all, the space in the cabin is not large, and the two of them are thrown around, instinctively trying to grab something to fix themselves, and the two of them are hugging each other, while their backs are close to the cabin, which is easier to fix than one person.

"Zhou Chong, are we going to die?" Xie Lingyun's eyes were slightly closed, and she asked weakly, she was already a little seasick. Now that I am being tossed around by the wind and waves, I can't stand it, and my brain is dizzy and I want to sleep.

"Maybe!" Zhou Zhong said in a low voice, he is also having a hard time now. His feet were twisted as he rolled in the cabin just now, and he was soaked in the icy water. Now it hurts so badly, I don't know if it hurts the bones? But it's also the pain in the foot. It made his mind clearer.

"What if...... If we can live, you ...... Do you still hate me? Xie Lingyun, who was about to pass out, suddenly opened his eyes. The weak gaze looked directly at Zhou Chongdao, although she didn't have much sailing experience, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to escape the fate of hiding under the sea today, but it is also at this time that she suddenly wants to know what Zhou Chongdao thinks now.

Zhou Chong was also a little surprised by Xie Lingyun's question, looked down at her pale face, and then said expressionlessly: "Hate, I Zhou Chong has grown so big, I hate others for lying to me the most, especially since the other party is still a beautiful woman!" ”

"Hehe~, this is the first time you've praised me for being beautiful!" Xie Lingyun smiled weakly, but then her face changed, and she said a little sadly, "I know that you can't forgive me, and I also know that in your eyes, I am a vicious woman, but ...... But ......"

When Xie Lingyun said this, two tears flowed from her slightly closed eyes, as if there was something unspeakable. And Zhou Zhong was also very surprised, because he really didn't expect that at this life-and-death moment, Xie Lingyun would actually say this to him?

I saw that after Xie Lingyun shed a few tears alone, he opened his eyes again and looked at Zhou Chong, but at this time, Zhou Chong had already found that Xie Lingyun's eyes no longer had the shrewdness they used to have, and all that was left was weakness and helplessness.

"Zhou Chong, I'm dying anyway, I'll tell you a secret, okay?" I saw Xie Lingyun in tears, and suddenly said such a sentence to Zhou Chong.

"What's the secret?" Zhou Chong asked casually, now the wind and waves outside are becoming more and more violent, at this time, even he who has always had a tough temperament can't help despairing, and at the same time he is also a little self-deprecating, he was drowned in the sea in his previous life, and he will drown in the sea in this life, it seems that his eight characters must be in conflict with the sea.

"You may not believe it, our Xie family has actually married the Hong family a long time ago, Hong Feiyun's husband is my cousin Zheng Longhai, and the same person is behind our two families, you must not imagine this person!" When Xie Lingyun said this, her face also showed a somewhat relaxed look.

"Oh, who is it?" Zhou Zhong didn't expect that the two hegemon-level chambers of commerce in Shuangyu Port would have joined forces a long time ago, and there was still the same person behind them, if this was really the case, then this person's strength would be too terrifying.

I saw that Xie Lingyun did not answer Zhou Chong's words positively, but smiled and said: "Our Xie family is actually the same as your Zhou family, they are not Songjiang natives, but moved from other places, but your Zhou family moved from the north, but our Xie family moved from Yuyao in the south. Now you should know who the other party is. ”

"Your own uncle?" Zhou Chong couldn't help but ponder when he heard this, listening to the meaning of Xie Lingyun's words, the other party was an official surnamed Xie, and his position was very high, at least in Yuyao's faction, the officials ranked first.

"Click~" When he was pondering in Zhouzhong, suddenly there was a violent vibration of the hull, and then he heard a cracking sound from the wall of the cabin, and a one-foot-long crack appeared on the bulkhead of the ship, and the wind carried the sea water along the crack and began to rush desperately inside, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun were all soaked in seawater.

For the changes in the cabin, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun, who had already put life and death aside, just glanced at it lightly, their faces were very calm, under the power of heaven and earth, their shrewdness and talent had become useless, death seemed to have become their only destination, and now they just wanted to enjoy the most difficult time before death.

"It's cold!" Xie Lingyun tightened her body, and couldn't help but shrink into Zhou Chong's arms, and Zhou Chong also hugged Xie Lingyun tightly, after all, the clothes on her body are all soaked now, and you can keep warm by hugging each other, and in this kind of violent weather, it is more secure for two people to hug each other. As for the previous grievances, they are nothing in the face of life and death.

"Who the hell is this guy?" Zhou thought about it for a long time, and finally had to give up. If it is replaced by the original Zhou Chong, it is likely to be guessed immediately, but the current Zhou Chong does not know much about the readers of the Ming Dynasty, so he can't guess it at all for a while.

Seeing that Zhou Chong couldn't guess it, Xie Lingyun, who was already shivering from the cold, suddenly raised his head, showed a mischievous smile on his pale face and said, "Isn't Gongzi Zhou always brilliant and talented, how can he not even guess this little question?" ”

"You...... Hurry up and tell who that person is? Zhou Chongqi reached out and slapped Xie Lingyun's upturned little buttocks, although the clothes were covered with water, but the hand felt really good.

However, Xie Lingyun, who was already holding the heart of death, exposed a kind of elf eccentricity of a little daughter, and instead of answering Zhou Chong's question, he reluctantly smiled and said: "I just don't say it, if you want to know who this person is, then hug me tightly like this before you die, so that even after death, we can walk on Huangquan Road together, and I will naturally tell you then!" ”

"You ......" Zhou Chong really has no choice but to take the other party next week, after all, Xie Lingyun has completely put life and death out of the way, and there is nothing to threaten her at all, so Zhou Chong had to smile bitterly and shook his head and said: "You are ruthless, but you must wait for me on the Huangquan Road, don't run away by yourself!" ”

"Ahem~, why are you waiting for you, are you so sure that I will die before you?" Xie Lingyun was blown by a sea breeze and coughed a few times in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, then I'll die first, but you'll have to be tired of holding my corpse tight." Zhou Zhong was a little indifferent.

"I ...... I don't want you to die! Xie Lingyun suddenly said a very contradictory sentence, and at the same time hugged Zhou Zhong tightly with both arms, and tears could not stop flowing down any longer.

At the same time, Koji Kamiizumi, who was controlling the ship at the stern, had finally exhausted his strength at this time, and what was worse was that the steerboat at the stern had been shattered by the violent sea wind and waves, and his whole body had been completely exposed to the wind and waves, although he desperately grabbed the rudder, but the cold sea water had almost frozen his whole body, and he was about to be unable to hold on.

Just as the so-called disaster does not go alone, just when Shangquan Honger was about to be swept away by the sea, suddenly a big wave hit, throwing the whole boat up more than two people at once, and then falling rapidly, with a loud "boom", the boat they were riding on actually hit a reef, and the whole boat was torn apart at once, hugging each other Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun were also thrown out of the fragments of the plank.

"Baga, I knew that Lu Dao was going to die, I should have done this Xie family chick first, but I didn't expect that now it would be cheaper than Zhou Chong, a bastard!" This was the last thought that flashed through Koji Kamiizumi's heart, and then he fell into the icy water, and then was submerged without a trace. (To be continued......)
