Episode 10: Ruthless and faceless

Qi Huan shook his head a little melancholy, looking at the endless, undulating sea. Turning around, the silhouette of the pier was no longer visible. He sighed, and continued:

"Miss Jun understands people. If everyone had the same awareness as you, I wouldn't have had such a hard time. But...... Since you can say that, there are no friends around you who know this kind of experience. ”

Jun Aoyan shrugged.

"My mom and dad. The kind that is biological. ”

"Ah, this ......"

Qi Huan didn't know what to say for a while.

"They don't treat me well and think I'm a daughter. I had a younger brother who died, and they called me a begging ghost. For as long as I can remember, they've been punching and kicking me, and all they left me with was this leathery body. Hahaha, heat-resistant and frost-resistant, it's nothing. ”

"Miss Jun's temperament is ......"

Jun Aoyan looked at him and said as if jokingly:

"Did you hear that I had a bad relationship with General Jun in the later period, so you thought that I had another purpose for this trip?"

"Ah, uh, not really. Didn't the Taishi also say it? There's no such thing. ”

"Do you really think so?"

"To be honest, I don't know much about your family's affairs, and I don't dare to speculate."

"Haha, yes. Believe it or not, it's up to you, I still have to say that my godfather treated me very well. He has been supporting me longer than my biological parents, and in any case, the nurturing grace is unforgettable, and I respect him more than my biological parents. ”

"Well, I believe you."

"Let's tell another joke."

"What?"

"Here's what my godfather told me: I was in my father's arms when he found me. They burned through, and I was unharmed. Sounds impossible, doesn't it? I knew I was too young and he was afraid of frightening me. In fact, I know very well how I have come over the years after all these years. I remember very well that I just sat next to them and didn't shed a single tear. The versions you hear are all apocryphal. My father, thinking I had forgotten, said that when I asked him again, they were there to protect me, and they loved me very much. If you use your brain a little, you will know that saying this will only increase the child's guilt in vain. Even when he saw the scene at that time, he knew that in fact, they didn't love me at all, so he said that. ”

Qi Huan was a little dizzy. Instead of discussing the matter, he said:

"You suddenly said so much to me who had a few faces...... It's a little bit, it's like explaining the meaning of the last words, haha. ”

"Probably. I'm pessimistic. But it doesn't matter, I'm not afraid. Are you afraid? ”

"Of course, I'm not afraid."

"That's right."

Qi Huan exchanged pleasantries with the others for a while, circled around, and returned to the cabin. Bai Ya closed his eyes and lay on an old blanket, crossing Erlang's legs, and he didn't know if he was asleep.

"Go, go, move me somewhere."

"Make it yourself."

"Cut, slam the door."

Qi Huan tried his best to push away a large box next to him. Most of the cargo was held in place by a nailed cloth cover and could not be moved, leaving little room for people to rest. Qi Huan sat on the box and rested for a while, and his mouth was idle again.

"The first wave of civilian officials went to sea and went to nearly 100 people. Eight of them were quite large, and each of them brought a lot of retinues. Presumably, the court didn't guess that it would never go back. In the second wave, there were almost 100 people, and more than a dozen generals went, and they all brought accompanying private soldiers to show our country's prestige. The second group was more numerous than the first, because of the heavy armor, and there were more ships and sailors, men, medics, and cooks to take care of. The result is the same. ”

Bai Ya ignored him, not knowing if he was really asleep. Qi Huan didn't care, he continued:

"At first, everyone thought that people were being detained, but the third and fourth groups passed...... Especially in the military, there are still many batches that have not been made public, let alone a million people. With the size and ability of the Biluo Islands, even if they really don't fight, it is a little suspicious to be taken prisoner. Later, there was a saying among the people that they were all killed, otherwise how could they live? Because it really stands, it caused a lot of panic. And one day, the idea of paradise became popular, overpowering these shuddering rumors......"

"I don't think it's news from there." Bai Ya didn't open his eyes, but he opened his mouth, "I prefer to believe that it is the means of the imperial court to control public opinion." There is no shortage of talents among the twenty-eight Taishi who are proficient in yin and yang arts, and it is not difficult to do this. If everyone doubts that the imperial court will lose taxes and strong men, I am afraid it will be difficult to determine people's hearts. ”

Qi Huan was silent for a while.

"Although your prejudice against the imperial court is not a day or two, this time I do not deny your opinion. Actually, I doubt it too, after all, the southern country is so far away, but the news seems to be coming from all over the country at the same time, and it is not transmitted in time and stages. So I just asked Miss Jun about it, but I didn't find out why, and she didn't seem to know anything. Also, who will tell General Jun's daughter that he has already gone to the southern country...... "Qi Huan turned over and thought about it again, "It's not right either." Perhaps, this is also the method of the southern country. If they can create such an enchantment, maybe the rumors will have a way to create an atmosphere that doesn't arouse suspicion? Alas, it's hard to say. Alas, there aren't worms on this ship, are they? Why am I so itchy. ”

Qi Huan stood up and jumped, but he didn't find any bugs. He half-knelt beside the box, opened it, and looked through the contents one by one. He looked a little bored, and Bai Ya glanced at him sideways.

"Do you really think Jun Aoyan doesn't know anything?"

"I guess, that's what I think at the moment. Ah, it's like a prop for yin-yang. Yo, that's a lot of rune paper. In which box is the pen and ink cinnabar in? ”

"Don't you think it's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Asking, Qi Huan opened another box, "Hey, this box is millet rice." Why is there no moisture protection at all? It's really convincing. ”

Bai Ya sat up straight. In the dimly lit room, he looked up and stared blankly at the top of the cabin.

"When Jun Chaojiu picked her up, it was in her house that was in ruins after the war, right? Her father and mother were burned to charcoals. ”

"Seems like that."

"Why is she okay?"

"Then who knows?" Qi Huan buckled the fourth box, "I'm not here again." Maybe she's hiding somewhere, like the general. ”

"Didn't her father and mother not want to see her?"

Qi Huan's movements stopped. He froze there, thinking.

"Then she's hiding herself."

"Really?" Bai Ya stood up and patted the ashes, "Regardless of the life and death of my father and mother, I hid?" It may make sense, but children are timid and powerless, right? Jun Chaojiu can see the situation at a glance, coupled with the statement that she has been strong since she was a child...... Figure it out for yourself. ”

With that, Bai Ya moved his muscles and walked out of the cabin. The two sailors saw him come out and quickly hid to the side. Qi Huan sat alone in the cabin, and suddenly felt cold all around.

Not a normal person.

But he didn't really care. Qi Huan is not a very optimistic person, but he is more open than anyone else. Whether it was Bai Ya, Jun Aoyan, or the other sailors and officials on the ship, their past and thoughts were not very important to him. As long as he has the confidence and ability to deal with this group of people and deal with sudden changes, this is enough. Knowing too much about their past affects his judgment. Of course, that doesn't mean he's not interested in listening.

Bai Ya walked out, and he also closed the open box to see what he was going to do. I saw the surnamed Bai walking next to Jun Aoyan, not knowing what to do. She was talking to the sailor, and the sailor was stunned for a moment before she turned around and saw Bai Shaoxia standing behind her. She turned her face slightly and asked calmly:

"What's the matter?"

"I'm wondering...... Bai Ya's gaze moved, "Is your Mo knife strong, or my scimitar strong?" ”

"I don't know if I don't try. However, it may not be a good choice here. ”

The sailor took a step back and ducked away. He hurriedly reported to the warden who was inspecting the stern. Strange to say, these two people spoke in a polite tone, but it always made people feel like gunpowder. Qi Huan immediately came over, for fear that the two of them would cause more trouble.

"That's right."

Bai Ya tugged at the corners of his mouth and let go of the hand that was originally on the handle of the knife.

"Wrist wrestling?" Ao Yan said suddenly.

Bai Ya didn't speak. He did not show particular interest and did not scoff at the proposal. He thought for a moment, nodded, and rested his elbows on the side of the ship. Jun Aoyan beckoned a sailor to come over and let go of the Mo knife. The knife fell straight down, and the sailor was a little panicked, so Qi Huan ran up and caught it together.

It seems that she is also planning to move seriously. So they both held hands, their elbows fixed to the side of the boat, and their eyes fixed on each other. This was probably the first time they had looked at each other in a serious way. Ao Yan saw the mysterious gloom and indifference in Bai Ya's eyes, the indescribable heavy sleepiness. But she was very serious, and Bai Ya could see a light of excitement in those mahogany-like eyes, which somewhat baffled him.

There is no need for anyone to time, and the two of them work at the same time. For a long time, their hands were frozen like this, not tilting to that side at all, like a scale that had reached perfect balance. It wasn't until their tiger's mouth glowed slightly red that Qi Huan realized that they had been using their strength for a long time. The ships rise and fall with the waves, and under these unbalanced conditions, how do they achieve such a stable status quo of forcibly balancing and forcing force by brute force? The other sailors and the warden also arrived, and no one dared to go up to stop them, and several pairs of eyes watched as they confronted each other.

Their eyes were very firm, as if they were on fire, Bai Ya rarely mentioned his interest, and his arrogant face almost laughed. In the sun, sweat oozed from their foreheads, and their arms began to tremble slightly at the same time, but no one would admit defeat.

Qi Huan walked between the two and let go of the hand holding the Mo knife.
