Chapter 13: Faceless Dumplings
After the raging storm was a strange silence. Qi Huan's last memory of this change is the sudden surge of monstrous waves, slapping their boat down like a child overturning a paper boat. The suffocating sensation of the icy sea made him miserable, and the bitter and salty breath lingered in his nose, choking on the back of his head. Blows from wood, rock, or water have become insignificant, and they are all fatal to the body of the leaf, whether soft or hard.
He was awakened by the cold, and the cold came suddenly. Rather, he had been soaked in an almost numb cold all night. But that's because his senses have failed, and now it's back to its original function, which has somewhat awakened him. Being able to feel cold or ache is rare for a person who has escaped death. He struggled to get up, but every pull of his muscles caused the piece to be pulled and stinged. The sand beneath me was fine and soft, but the broken shellfish rubble that covered the shore in this area was less pleasant. Qi Huan finally overcame this terrible pain and propped himself up from the crumbs that pierced his hands. He lifted his hand to look at it, and it was covered with folds from the bubbles of the sea.
The simple act of standing up was also a matter of personal life, and he grinned in pain. When he finally stood up, the sun made him dizzy. It was already dawn, and he turned his head to look to the east, where the sun had just risen. Even this small movement made his cervical spine hurt as if he had been stabbed into it with an awl. It felt like he had only experienced it once in his life, and it was also because he slept too hard. He lay on the pillow, didn't turn over all night, fell off the pillow, and woke up the next day with his neck not his own. He tried to move all the muscles of his body, and the process was like a punishment. Fortunately, his body was strong and sturdy, and he was separated by a pair of skins, which had not been shaken inside.
Behind him was a floor full of planks and sticks, and there was nothing complete for him to recognize his previous function and function. And there were so few woodwork, and most of the ship had disappeared into the sea. It seemed that he was lucky, and the storm threw him and his boat onto this desert island. The ship is not the point at the moment, the focus is on the whereabouts of the other two. He looked around and saw nothing but the scrap of the ship, and took a few steps forward. After a while, he saw something shiny next to a thick mast, and he quickened his pace and ran over to find it a bright knife.
Isn't this something from Baiya? It's one of the two knives, and where is the other? Qi Huan picked up the scimitar and looked at it carefully. After being washed and soaked in seawater, it is still as bright as new. What kind of material is this thing, it is still so easy to use after more than 20 years with the surname Bai. There is no scabbard protection, so it should be very troublesome to maintain, right? Was it washed ashore by the sea? It is not clear whether the other was nearby or was carried away by the waves.
"Give me back."
"I'm ...... Your uncle's! β
Qi Huan's body was not very obedient, and a strong hand suddenly grabbed his ankle fiercely, and at that moment he really felt that he had lost eighty percent of his three souls and seven spirits. When I looked closely, I realized that there was a person pressed under the mast. The beach in this area is very sunken, and Bai Ya, who is dressed in black and not slippery, is buried in the pit and covers the mast. Qi Huan shuddered, subconsciously pulled his leg away, and fell to the ground. Since he cursed, of course, he saw what was going on after he fell.
Bai Ya grabbed the sand on the ground with one hand and the black scimitar in the other, stuck the blade into the sand, and drilled out hard, like a nimble snake. Qi Huan sat on the ground for a long time until he completely crawled out, picked up another knife, and stood in front of him.
"If you don't beat me for a day, you feel uncomfortable."
"You fart!" Qi Huanqi's liver hurts, "Do you want to scare me to death!" Hell knows you're there! β
"I don't know you're ready to take it? Whew-" Bai Ya blew off the sand on the blade in one breath, "Damn, I had a nightmare and almost didn't wake up." β
"You're still in the mood to dream, and I'm convinced."
Qi Huan stood up scoldingly and patted the sand on his body. The clothes of the two of them were still damp, and the sand was difficult to photograph. He glanced at the gap where Bai Ya had come fromβit was really a gap. The sand is only slightly concave, and the other end of the mast is on the stone in the distance, and the distance between this angle and the depression is not wide. This will restore Qi Huan's mind and start thinking about it again.
"Good guy, you didn't lose a knife in such a big wave." Qi Huan really doesn't know whether to praise or not.
"Don't eat life-saving things, don't want them? You can't do without a knife. Forget it, you don't have much to compare. Before Qi Huan greeted his mother's life and health, Bai Ya immediately said, "What about the boat? β
Qi Huan pursed his mouth: "That's all left, do you fight to see?" β
"Let's wait for death."
"Hey, don't be so pessimistic." Qi Huan looked at him and rolled his eyes, "Look at you as if you saw something before, but it wasn't that you were photographed ashore." β
"Look at you as if you are very good at divination, but even if you know the good luck, it's not a fart."
"This ...... Do you think too highly of yourself in the struggle between man and nature? β
"Didn't you say it's a youkai?"
"Don't you agree too?!"
"It's like you know how to deal with it."
"No, I said what are you doing...... How...... Wait, don't you think we shouldn't be talking about this now? β
"So what is it discussing? What to eat at noon? β
"Where's Jun Aoyan?"
ββ¦β¦ Oh, and this one. β
"Did you really forget or pretend?!"
Qi Huan was too lazy to bother with someone Bai, so he hurriedly looked around for someone. But I went around the beach for most of the time, and even when I walked to a place where the wood was sparse, I didn't see half a person. He was a little anxious, thinking to himself if Miss Jun would explain before he arrived at the place, right? If the two of them are left alive to go back, shouldn't the court think that they have teamed up to hack her...... If this is a sin, I'm afraid that my head will not be protected?
"You're looking for a way, I'm afraid you're going to find tomorrow."
Bai Ya doesn't help this guy, forget it, and is still talking cool words on the side.
"Can you say a few words other than the scenery? I've put up with you for a long time. β
Bai Ya suddenly stared at him seriously for a long time, but he didn't say anything, which made Qi Huan's heart furious, wondering if he should be careful enough to deal with those words, right? Bai Ya seemed to be thinking seriously, and he seemed to be just staring at him in a daze. So the two of them froze like this, and after a long time, he suddenly sighed.
"Okay."
"Okay what?"
Bai Ya didn't speak, but raised the two scimitars and rubbed their blades all the way from the blades to the tips. Qi Huan frowned, feeling that things were not simple. Because ordinary knives do this, only a screeching sound can be heard, but this is different for scimitars - the sound they make is a light tremble, a low sound, like the whimper of a living instrument.
Listening to it in broad daylight makes people's backs chill. What's even worse is that Bai Ya repeats this action endlessly, and this weird sound continues.
"What are you doing?"
"Shh
Like some kind of strange religious ritual, Bai Ya would repeat this action every few steps. But Qi Huan is not stupid after all, he doesn't chase after and ask meaningless questions, but relies on his own observation. He began to notice that the sounds, though continuous, had a slight difference in rhythm. Bai Ya seemed to rely on this change in sound to deduce the direction of something.
"What are you...... Recognize the position with the voice? β
"Yes."
"Can anyone?"
"Nope. My knife has touched her Mo knife and knows the characteristics of that knife. Although it may not be possible to find the woman, at least you can know where the weapon is. The good news is that it seems to be on the island as well. β
"Oh...... This pair of knives is really amazing! I knewβ"
"If I had known, you would have lost your life."
"Oh."
The two of them went around in a big circle and passed the origin again. Qi Huan felt a little awkward, didn't he go in the wrong direction from the beginning? It would be a shame to find Jun Aoyan, or her knife, in a completely different position. But if you can't find it, it's even more troublesome. Therefore, he still kept praying in his heart that Ao Yan must be safe.
As he walked, Bai Ya began to approach the sea. Qi Huan couldn't help but be a little worried:
"This ...... Don't sink in the sea. β
"I don't know, but it's not impossible."
As he spoke, he rubbed the blade again. Although he had been listening all the way, compared to the first time, Qi Huan felt that the sound was more shrill at this time. Bai Ya walked to the ruins of the ship, barely able to see its skeleton. It's just a ship's butt, and there shouldn't be any resources left in it. Bai Ya stood beside him, pointed a knife at the mess and said:
"Inside."
"The knife is in there?"
Qi Huan leaned up suspiciously, his eyes looking inside through the cracks in the plank. At that moment, he froze for a moment before retracting his head, but soon he closed his eyes again, as if to confirm something.
"The surname is white, Miss Jun is inside!"
"Get out of the way."
"Huh?"
As soon as Qi Huan got out of the way a little, Bai Ya raised his leg and kicked it. With a "click", the wooden board was kicked and shattered, and half of Jun Aoyan's body was stuck between the boxes. I don't know how she got stuffed there in the storm, and her Mo knife was stuck sideways around the corner, with the planks running through the left and right, pinning her whole body inside. Her face was blue and she was still unconscious. Qi Huan rushed forward and pulled the Mo knife hard. At this time, Ao Yan suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the hilt of the knife in front of him.
"You're alright! It's so nice......"
Now I finally have an explanation with the court.
"Hmm, you...... Thank you ......."
"It was Bai Shaoxia who found you, he ...... Hey, you're here to help move the knife! β
Qi Huan turned around and found that Bai Ya had already gone away as if he had nothing to do with himself.
