Chapter 45: The Aftermath of a Desert Island
The next morning, Zhao Min slowly opened his eyes, the bonfire had long been extinguished, and there was no one around the fire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhao Min got up, the ground was as calm as yesterday, there was no sign of messiness, and he was relieved a lot, it seemed that the little girl left by herself. Turning over and walking out of the cave, the sky had already closed and the rain had subsided, and the sky was clear, except for the overturned boat on the beach in the distance to tell the fierce and domineering of yesterday's storm.
Thinking of last night's storm, Zhao Min couldn't help but feel palpitations: he had never heard of the ferocity of the storm at sea, and it wasn't until he saw the true face last night that he realized that in the face of the natural power that tore the sky and the earth, personal strength seemed so small, so everyone needed to maintain a sense of awe for heaven and earth!
Thinking of this, my body began to ache again. After careful inspection, it was found that except for the bruises and snow all over the body, there was no real injury, which had to be regarded as a miracle.
Zhao Min looked around and found that there was a forest not far from the cave, and a small stream that was only a little more than a foot wide meandered out of the forest and finally joined the sea. Zhao Min strolled out, walked to the stream, and splashed a handful of stream water on his face, but felt a cold chill spread from his cheeks all over his body, and suddenly all the sleepiness and exhaustion disappeared.
The little girl didn't come back, and Zhao Min didn't dare to walk around, so she took out an iron kettle, washed it with the stream water, took half a pot of stream water, returned to the cave, picked up a few stones and built a stove, and lit a bunch of bonfires to cook porridge. Soon, the fragrance of white porridge spread, and a hazy atmosphere filled the small cave.
At this moment, a cry full of surprise came from the entrance of the cave: "It smells so good! Where did you find the rice? ”
Zhao Min raised his eyes and looked, could it be the little girl of Zhu Pujia? Then he raised his eyebrows proudly and smiled: "It's just a little rice grain, what's the fuss!" Want more! ”
Nagisa stepped into the cave with a pheasant with a twisted neck, seemingly interrupted by a hard object such as a stone. Zhu Pujia sat by the fire and said with a smile: "I have gone out for a walk in the morning and found that this is a desert island with a small area; All the supplies on our ship were thrown into the sea, but fortunately there was still some game in the mountains and forests, and I thought we would have to live on these wild animals next! ”
When he got closer, Zhao Min found that the big zongzi that the little girl wrapped on her head last night was gone, and instead a thin ribbon passed through her forehead, and a ruyi knot was tied shallowly on one side, which didn't look like a bandage, but a kind of jewelry.
Seeing Zhao Min's stupid appearance, Zhu Pujia couldn't help but laugh and nodded some white porridge with her finger: "Stinky boy, are you planning to invite me to eat porridge?" ”
Zhao Min was taken aback, and hurriedly moved the kettle away from the stove, but forgot that the kettle was boiling hot, and for a while it was so hot that his hands rubbed on his ears and turned in circles.
Seeing Zhao Min's appearance, Zhu Pujia leaned back and smiled even more, laughed for a while, suddenly remembered something, smiled, and two red clouds flew up on her cheeks, showing a slightly twisted appearance, and waited for a while before she spoke: "Thank you for saving me last night." ”
Zhao Min didn't know how to reply for a while, so he had to scratch his head and smile dryly: "Didn't Miss Jiao'er save her on Pirate Island last night, what is it worth?" ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhao Min coughed dryly and changed the topic: "Miss Jiao'er mentioned Zun Weng last night, and I don't know Ling Zun's name, where is the home?" ”
Zhu Pujia's expression gradually returned to nature, and she said lightly: "My father is secretive, and he is currently the county guard of Donglai; These pirates are Bohai pirates, the leader of the bandits calls himself the King of Bohai, who has been entrenched in the Shamen Islands all the year round, doing evil and harming the coastal people; At the beginning of his tenure, my father vigorously cracked down on pirates and cleared coastal defenses, which made the thieves regard them as a thorn in the flesh. Five days ago, when the soldiers went to the side, the county soldiers changed their defenses, and the sea and air defense were weak, the elite broke into Huang County to destroy my father's life, but I think that my dignified county guard can be conquered by a few thieves? Originally, the thieves could only return in vain, but the hatred happened to catch me up with the time when I returned home, and I was kidnapped by the thieves, and the military generals did not dare to act rashly, so the thieves kidnapped me on the island, and wanted to blackmail my father with my life to open up to them. The poor nurse and maid who accompanied them were all killed by the thieves, and every time they thought about it, they couldn't sleep at night, and they hated to kill all the thieves! In the end, I couldn't stop crying.
Zhao Min sighed secretly in his heart, is it true that the lives of people in the troubled world are like mustard? The fact that a gang of bandits dared to defy the condemnation of the world and openly attack and kill the officials of the imperial court once again proves that the people in these remote areas have completely lost their reverence for the imperial court?
Looking at the delicate face of the girl's pear blossom with rain, Zhao Min couldn't help but feel pity, and naturally stepped forward to take the girl's fragrant shoulder, rested the girl's forehead on his shoulder, and patted the jade back with his right hand to show comfort. At this time, I suddenly felt a shock to the delicate body in my arms, and it seemed that the whole person was frozen. Zhao Min suddenly woke up, now is not the 21st century, and the little girl is not those 21st century women who are deeply poisoned by Western thought, although this era does not have the defense of perverted men and women like Song Zhu Lixue, but it is absolutely impossible to accept such frivolous actions as men and women hugging at will!
Zhao Min hurriedly let go of Zhu Pujia's body, and then saw that the girl's face was already flushed, and she lowered her head and twisted her fingers, not knowing what she was thinking. Zhao Min was embarrassed, and suddenly saw the pheasant on the ground, he was in a hurry, took the pheasant in his hand in one step, and called out: "I'll take care of the pheasant, you ...... Miss drink some porridge first! "While his feet don't stop, he runs out of the hole as if he is running.
Zhao Min ran to the creek in one breath, sat on the ground, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Since he met the little girl, he felt that his IQ had a significant downward trend. Are you tempted by such a little girl? No way! That's a little Lori who is no more than a freshman in high school? I'm not Loricon!
Speaking of which, Zhao Min's emotional experience is indeed almost blank. When I admired a goddess in college, I didn't dare to speak, until I finally mustered up the courage to confess when I graduated, but I was politely rejected by the goddess with a smile and the excuse of "waiting for an economic foundation to talk". But when his career finally succeeded, he found that the goddess had already married a woman, and since then he has broken off his emotional ties and devoted himself to his career. It's not that he has any emotional cleanliness, it's just that he didn't meet the right person when he wanted to talk about feelings, and when he got older, he saw more deceit in society, and he saw too many entanglements between husband and wife, and he slowly felt that the so-called feelings in a society where the material foundation was important were just like that, and he never met someone who was really tempted, so the emotional problem has been delayed until now.
Zhao Min shook his head a little self-deprecatingly, as for it? Speaking of which, I have known the little girl for less than a day, and I admit that her beauty, self-confidence and bold personality do attract me, but how to say that it will not develop to the step of falling in love, right? I think it may be because we have experienced life and death together, and it is normal to work together to overcome hardships and dangers, and it is normal for them to have some dependence on each other. Alas~ Life and death are still uncertain, why bother with these things?
At this moment, I suddenly heard the crisp voice of the little girl behind me: "Stinky boy, are you plucking chicken feathers or counting chicken feathers?" Is it difficult to help it pay tribute before you do it? ”
Zhao Min turned his head to take a look, and sure enough, he saw Zhu Pujia staring at him playfully. After thinking about it just now, my heart was calm, but I was a little surprised that the little girl was so generous, and the speed of returning to normalcy was even faster than herself. At that moment, he smiled and said: "No, no, no, I'm thinking about how to make a sacrificial text, so that it can pay tribute to you and my five internal organs safely!" ”
The girl snorted lightly, sat down next to Zhao Min, tilted her head and looked at Zhao Min: "I have already introduced my own situation, let's talk about you, why did you get involved in this muddy water?" ”
Zhao Min was a little helpless, he always felt that his identity was a little embarrassed, and sighed: "Okay, let's introduce myself again." In the lower Zhao Min, Xin is the fourth prince of today, named the king of the North Sea, and is currently hunting the North Sea on behalf of the sky; Three days ago, while searching for a shipwreck in Jiaozhou Bay, he was accidentally broken into by pirates, and then, as mentioned before, until he ended up here. ”
"Ahh No wonder I think your name sounds familiar, it turns out to be the famous 'Prince of Silence'! Zhu Pujia covered her mouth and smiled, and frowned at her good-looking eyebrows: "The pirate island we escaped from is in the Shamen Islands, which is also one of the den of the Bohai pirates, located in the Bohai Sea, I grew up in the Bohai Sea since I was a child, and I will never be mistaken, how could this group of thieves go all the way to Jiaozhou Bay in the Yellow Sea?" Besides, you are not a rich businessman, and attacking you will do you no good except to cause more trouble for yourself; Although the pirates are vulgar and unbearable, they can run rampant in Bohai for many years, how can they not look like such a foolish person, it obviously doesn't make sense? ”
Zhao Min smiled bitterly in his heart, he actually ran to Bowan Bay! In other words, a big circle around the Shandong Peninsula? In fact, Zhu Pujia said that he didn't understand, when he first considered this problem, the name "Lu Xu" jumped in his heart. From Lu Xu's unscrupulous way of acting, it can be inferred that he has every motive and ability to plan this matter. Speaking of which, the rumors of the so-called 'treasure ship' are also very suspicious, they don't appear sooner or later, but they just appeared when they took over Jimo, is there really such a coincidence? It's a pity that I can't explain this matter to Zhu Pujia! Zhao Min had no choice but to cough dryly: "Maybe the pirates didn't make a business in Bohai Bay, and it is unknown to try their luck in the Yellow Sea." ”
Zhao Min saw that Zhu Pujia was still frowning and thinking, and he didn't want to continue to dwell on this painful problem, so he had to change the topic: "Miss Jiao'er, do you think we can repair the ship?" ”
