Three days and two nights have passed since then, and Qi Zuo's ship still hasn't followed. A lonely boat on the vast sea, even if it's a pirate ship, if someone comes, someone has a way.

The heavy rain that night accumulated a lot of water on Cai Huan's longboat, and she was reluctant to splash it out to prevent the sinking of the boat, and at the same time to prevent the water from being cut off - the final result was that the bulkheads at the bow and stern were full, after all, no matter how greedy she was, she couldn't soak in the water and row.

That night's heavy rain consumed all the clouds within a radius of 100 miles, and the next three days were cloudless and sunny, Cai Huan took off his coat to cover the precious fresh water, and the arms and the back of his neck were as if they were ripe and red.

The arrow in Dongzi's back had been pulled out, the wound had been cleaned with seawater, and Cai Huan found a clean spot on the hem of his shirt, tore it off and bandaged him—it was just a way to deal with external injuries, she knew, but she couldn't do anything else.

She also knew that Dongzi was not dead yet, but it was not far away, if she ...... If he can't find anyone anymore, his death will not be much farther than his.

This is a blue desert, a calm, kind, and reassuring blue, but it is still an inaccessible desert for terrestrial creatures like humans.

The sun shone unhindered on the sea, the wind was light, the waves were blue and white, and from time to time there were star-like points of light, and it was a silence, but the silence seemed to be a sound, haunting the ears—the sound of something like the evaporation of the spirit.

At this moment, the oar was rowing to the right, as if it had tripped over something. Cai Huan cocked his oars on the edge of the boat and tightened a little closer-

It turned out to be a litter of Ulva.

She reached out and grabbed the jade-like Ulva from the jade. It's time to pad your belly, she thought.

Hiss –

Suddenly, a pinprick pain came from the back of the hand, not too severe, but the strange sensation spread quickly......

......

"Awake?"

In the softly lit bamboo house, the smell of herbs and incense penetrated Zhuangzuo's nostrils.

"Where is this? Are you ...... Who?" Zhuang Zuo propped himself up from the couch and wanted to sit up, the skeleton of his body was as soft as if it were scattered the moment he exerted his strength, and the last word "who", he gritted his teeth before squeezing it out of his throat.

"You don't remember the old body?"

In front of her was a young woman dressed in white, and even though her voice was calm and serious, this appearance was not worthy of the word "old body" in any way.

“...... Oh, no wonder. The woman muttered to herself, shaking her head and laughing self-deprecatingly.

She walked to Zhuang Zuo's side of the couch, sat down on her legs, and looked at him with a sad expression, "Yan Qiang, that kid, is killing you." As she spoke, she reached out and helped Zhuang Zuo to lie down again, but the latter did not resist. For some reason, the woman's tone and movements made Zhuang Zuo feel inexplicably relieved - as if he, the derelict Longqiao Guardian and the seven-foot-long young man, could still rely on the bed like the second young master of a rich family in front of this woman, and not worry about trivial matters.

"Former ...... Senior, "She seems to be only five or six years older than Zhuang Zuo, if she has given birth, the child should be in her early tens, and it is just right to be his eldest sister or sister-in-law."

"You just said Yan Yan, I only remember leaving the villa guarded by his righteous son, did you save the junior from Yan Yan's hands?"

"Save?" she shook her head helplessly, "The old body did save you, but not from Yan Yan's hand, but from the hand of Hades." ”

She stood up, took a bronze mirror from the desk at the head of the bed, and held it up in front of Zhuang Zuo.

"I ......"

Zhuang Zuo held his face in disbelief, and in the mirror was an old man in his last years, with white hair, but his eyes flashed with an aura that did not match his appearance. His sense of touch was no longer sensitive, and when his fingers touched his face, the ravines of the years did not seem to be as deep as in the mirror.

"Maybe the old body should say sorry to you, I didn't ask for your consent......" She smiled helplessly and seemed to be a little playful, at this moment, this laughter aroused Zhuang Zuo's hostility.

"What have you done to me?!" he cried out in shock and rage, brushing off the bronze mirror that the woman held before him with one hand. But this old skeleton pulled out of the grave couldn't help but make such a big move, and he couldn't stop coughing.

"Don't worry," the woman reached out and tapped Zhuang Zuo's forehead, and her dry throat seemed to be filled with elixir and jade dew, and the cough suddenly stopped.

The hand was cold, and it was younger than the woman's face. The tip of her rounded index finger dragged from Zhuang Zuo's forehead to the center of her eyebrows, and moved away here, revealing her approaching face, "The old body temporarily exchanged your sixty years of yang life for your current life." Okay, it's not too late to ask for your opinion, to change, or not to change?"

She said the last option in Zhuang's left ear in a straight voice, as if she was taking care of an old man behind her ear. It's really ridiculous, just now, this old thing in her old age was still struggling with whether it was polite to call her "senior".

"You say you can't change it, but in fact, it's just asking me to choose between quick death and waiting for death, isn't it?" Zhuang Zuo wanted to sneer, but as soon as the breath he hummed passed through his throat, it turned into a cough again.

This time, instead of appeasing him, the woman bent down and picked up the bronze mirror that he had whisked to the ground and put it back on the table. "It's just a hundred years less than a hundred years old, who said that you are waiting to die?" she raised her chin lightly, raised her two light eyebrows, and hooked a playful smile on her lips.

"Besides, exchanging life for life is not an old man's nonsense," she tilted her head and looked at Zhuang Zuo, "This is a real deal, but others don't know the price of Hades, and they don't know how to make this deal." ”

Lifebinding. Listening to the woman's explanation, Zhuang Zuo's mind came up with this name. When he was studying the Fa at the Cunya Dao Altar, he also knew a few people from the Trinity Sect who practiced this technique, and the most powerful of them were just some unorthodox tricks such as soul dementoring and mind reading...... The national teacher who has learned through the six disciplines is one.

At least the "senior" was not wrong, Zhuang Zuo sat up a little and asked: "You said that you did business with the king of Hades, but you can immediately collect your life and live a few more times in the spring and autumn, does the king of Hades lose his old man?"

"The king of Hades has the truth of the king of Hades, and the old body has the ability of the old body, so you say, change it or not. The woman didn't bother to explain, she could read the "old man" in his early twenties—his life, and there was much to do.

"Change!"

Zhuang Zuo replied resolutely, followed by another cough.

......

Hiss –

Cai Huan gasped and sat up from the bed abruptly. Surrounded by the décor of an ordinary fisherman's hut, two rows of dried fish drying by the bed in the morning sun.

The door of the hut was open, and not far away was the beach with the crashing waves, and from time to time the fisherman and fisherwoman could be seen passing by - they were busy with their own business, so they did not notice the rescued woman who had woken up in the house.

Her body had regained its strength, her mouth had a metallic taste, the tip of her tongue had caught a few grains of millet between her gums and her lower lip, and it seemed that the kind fisherman had fed her some gruel.

Her memory lingered on the litter of Ulva wrapped around the oars...... And the stinging pain in the back of her hand! She raised her right hand, and sure enough, two small black and red scars not far away were on the side of the back of her right hand - sea snakes?she speculated.

Following the raised right hand, Cai Huan noticed that there was another person lying on the bed. From top to bottom, the heads of the two were level, but the other's feet were more than a foot further than hers.

Sometimes people are too familiar with each other, beautiful or ugly, tall or short, and the characteristics that are clearly obvious at a glance have become blurred—until a certain opportunity, a certain situation that breaks the everyday, and I realize that this is him.

Cai Huan looked at the man lying beside him, so strong that he took up most of the bed, and the strips of cloth torn from his clothes were still wrapped around his wounds. After working together for many years, this can be regarded as the most intimate between the two. Because no one could see it, Cai Huan laughed self-deprecatingly, she covered her face with her hands, and after a while, tears flowed out.

In the eyes of others, if Qi Zuo is iron, then Cai Huan next to her is ice, ice is not necessarily harder, but it must be colder. Cai Huan has been cold like this since she was a child, and she has been cold since she knew the secrets that her parents and even the whole village were hiding secrets.

And the habits she developed since childhood are difficult to eradicate in adulthood, or she has never thought of changing them. Qi Zuo, Senior Brother Zhuang, and Great Teachers, they are the people who seek change. In the company of such a person, there will be more enemies than partners. So there is no need to change this kind of coldness, because from childhood to adulthood, life surrounded by enemies like this has not changed.

But there have never been enemies around her, her younger brother, who didn't know anything when she was a child, is now ......

She was very scared, she was afraid that Dongzi would die like this, and she was even more afraid that in his heart, the one who watched him leave was an expressionless Cai Huan. She obviously has feelings, she obviously cries. She's crying right now.

But no one saw it, because no one saw it.
