Chapter 231: What's It?
"Uncle, catch itβ"
Jiuqing saw the stone bridge smashing towards him, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug him, but when his fingertips were about to grab him, a wave crashed, as if a huge beast swallowed him in one gulp.
"Stone Bridge!" Jiuqing exclaimed in surprise and woke up from his dream, "Whew...... ...... "His heart was still panting violently, his heart was still filled with panic and heartache," Ishibashi ......" he muttered, and his sweat-soaked back brought him a burst of coolness.
He sat up and walked out of the room, seeing that the sky outside was already turning white. He walked barefoot to the beach, walked to the shore, and looked at the sea ahead of him, still shrouded in morning mist. Two days have passed, and the sea has returned to calm, just like before.
But he felt something different. He could still smell the faint pungent smell of gunpowder in the air, and the color of the sea, no longer blue, but a terrifying black. He knew that on the outside of the black, there was a more permeable red. That is also their "masterpiece" of Chizuki.
Saltpeter Island, since the day of the Poseidon Festival, no one dares to approach. There was such an earth-shattering eruption of earth fire, and the devouring "big mouth" lasted for nearly half an hour, so that the people who were celebrating the festival on Poseidon Island really felt its horror.
He too, for a few days, he felt the panic and fear brought to him by that big mouth. What kind of place is the depths of that big mouth, will it be the same as the current sea, pitch black? Or is it as red as blood?
Stone Bridge, if you are there alone, will you be afraid...... Stone......
Jiuqing's tears flowed down his cheeks and into his beard, he hadn't shaved for three days, he was afraid that if he shaved off, Shiqiao would not recognize him when he came back. For him, such a scruffy appearance is his ninth uncle, right?
"Stone Bridge, go!"
"Where are you going, Uncle Nine?"
"Fetch water, shave!"
Scenes from the past kept flashing in his mind, his lips trembled, and even the voice in his throat began to tremble, "Woo......" He covered his face and whimpered, "Woo......"
When Xiao Keai walked barefoot to the beach, he saw the man squatting on the ground and crying quietly, and the pain in his heart like a pinprick made his chest almost out of breath. He took a breath and clenched his fists, loosening and tightening. The green tendons on his forehead jumped and jumped, "Ahhhh
"Brother Tian!" Xiao Keai's eyes were red, and there were tears about to drip in the corners of his eyes.
Lu Chaotian looked at Jiuqing, who was still shaking his shoulders, and shook his head. He didn't know why he wanted to save those two people, but they treated him as a brother, and the people he wanted to save, they would naturally help. Otherwise, the leader and the girl of the thousand moon would not help him.
Just stone bridge...... No one thought that this kid would give up his life for Jiuqing.
"Find Stone Bridge first!" Lu Chaotian patted Xiao Keai and took people on the boat together. They haven't given up yet, unless they see him...... They won't give up.
They reached the sea area around the incident, where there were three other boats looking in different directions. They replaced them and continued to call Stone Bridge's name.
Xiao Keai jumped off the sea cave that day, more than 300 feet, and later came back in dizziness. He held out until the last moment when he was about to suffocate to death, but he didn't find any trace of the stone bridge.
"The stone bridge has good water, and perhaps, it was washed away by the sea somewhere else." In the past three days, they have almost circled around Saltpeter Island and pushed out more than three miles. The carpet search, although careful, is not fast. And the sea was flowing all the time, and they didn't know where the stone bridge would go.
When the sun rose, Jiuqing also wiped away her tears. With red eyes, he continued to follow the next group of people to search the sea.
The sun rises and sets, and when the night falls again, the stone bridge has lost its sight, and there is another day.
"Jiuqing!" Qian Mo called out to Jiuqing, who had just finished eating and was about to go out with the night shift boat, "Feng Shun sent a letter, Huang Wanwan and Fan Jian have both woken up." β
Jiuqing's figure paused, and still walked out.
"Stop!" Qian Feiyue slapped the table and said coldly, "For those two people, you still have him, how much did you pay?" Now that the person has been rescued, you don't care. Scold...... Jiuqing, who do you say you are worthy of? To whom do you have an account? β
Qian Crimson Moon wasn't speaking for those two people, and her heart hurt. So many people, especially Ishibashi, who took his life to help him save him, he seemed like a person who had nothing to do with it. So what do they give? What is the sacrifice of Stone Bridge?
Unnaturalness flashed across Jiuqing's face, and his steps stopped.
Qian Scarlet Yue's nose was sour as she spoke, and when she thought of the joyful and laughing stone bridge, which was still floating in the cold water, her heart felt guilty and painful.
"Yue'er ......" Qian Mo hugged her shoulder, seeing her pain, he felt even more uncomfortable, "Jiuqing, we will go to Liudu first tomorrow, if you don't care, I will dispose of those two people at will." β
Jiuqing looked at the back of the two leaving, and her heart was complicated. He took a deep breath and walked out, boarding the boat again. There were still more than 600 people on Moon Bay, and he was confident that they would eventually find him.
The next day, Qian Mo, Qian Feiyue, as well as Lu Chaotian and Ming Qiu, boarded the ship. Xiao Keai stayed, and he would lead people to continue looking for Shiqiao. And because of their agreement with Hua Zhuo, they need to set off.
"Wait!"
Zhang Da was just about to set sail, and Jiuqing walked over, "I'll go to Liudu with you and come back." β
Qianmo nodded and let him get on the boat.
Along the way, none of them spoke. Qian Feiyue didn't scold again, she could see that today's Jiuqing was different.
Back in Liudu, Mingqiu's face was also a little uncalm. Especially when he passed by the door of the sealed Liudu Restaurant, the hand on his side couldn't help but move.
"Huh?" Qian Mo felt a flash of murderous aura on his body, and with a glance, Mingqiu let go of the hand in his sleeve.
A few people arrived at the Liudu Inn opposite, which was the property of the Hua family. Hua Zhuo placed Huang Wanwan and Fan Jian here, and they had already returned to the capital. This incident frightened Murong Qingmo a lot, and I don't know if they will face any difficulties when they go back.
Just as they feared, Murong Qingmo arrived in the capital two days ago. And when Emperor Yan learned that his precious princess had encountered such a dangerous thing in Liudu, he was furious.
"Lord Flower, I have always trusted you very much, and this time I made an exception to let you stay in Beijing for so long." Emperor Yan said lightly to Hua Zhuo, who was pleading guilty in the palace, "This time, you disappointed me too much. It seems that Hua Lian's out-of-the-box personality also has a lot of influence on you. β
"The emperor's forgiveness is Hua Zhuo's insistence......"
"Shut up!" Emperor Yan snorted sharply, and slowed down his tone again, "I know that you have a lot of love for flowers, but the flowers are burning, and this jade can't be cut out." From today onwards, let Hua Lian follow the second child to the study, and let Master Rong discipline and discipline well. β
"......" Hua Zhuo's brows furrowed slightly, and finally he bowed down, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" β
