Chapter Eighty-Six: The Shadows
At night, when the boat stopped moving forward and rested on the shore on the side, the feeling of being watched became more and more intense. Siming began to feel a little uneasy, and after instructing the men who were keeping vigil, he slowly returned to the cabin, took off his coat and lay down on the bed to rest.
It's just that this rest is only until he closes his eyes, Siming has been wandering outside for a long time, so he naturally knows the importance of this first night, and most of the thieves who have no experience will act on this night. They were anxious and scared, and they couldn't afford to put it off until the next night. The strong sense of gaze during the day made Siming judge that this thief was a novice, and he was sure that tonight would not be peaceful.
It's just that this thief is the most eyeless thief, and he picks one of the most guarded ones. It was the third watch in the middle of the night, and a thief in black was tiptoeing outside Siming's window to explore the way.
Siming's resting ship was the largest of all, and it was a few years old, and it often creaked as she walked around the ship during the day. In the silence of the night, even if the thief was careful enough, he still could not avoid this embarrassing situation.
The thief rested step by step, and it took only a quarter of an hour for him to enter the door of the cabin through the window, but Siming was a very patient and cautious man, and he had to catch the turtle in the urn.
After the thief entered Siming's cabin, he became bolder, and became less concerned about sound, and began to look for something valuable along the cupboard. Perhaps still wary of the person on the bed, the thief had been groping by the door, but did not come to the bedside, and after another tea time, the thief finally understood that Siming would not put valuable things so far, and tiptoed over.
By the moonlight, Siming probably saw the figure of this little thief, slightly shorter and thinner than ordinary men, walking not very steadily, it should be the first time to try his luck on this ship, but the fingers exposed outside the black clothes are extremely slender, not as thick as ordinary men.
When the thief finally let his guard down and groped for his belongings at the end of Siming's bed, Siming, like a tiger hunting food, pulled out the dagger placed under the pillow, and pressed the thief on the bed with a dodge, and then put the dagger on the man's neck.
The little thief finally panicked, and after feeling the dagger in Siming's hand, he shrunk his neck and tried to retreat. Siming did not obey him, put the dagger again, and leaned down on the thief to prevent him from escaping.
When he was about to call someone in, Siming found that the thief was not ordinary from an ordinary man somewhere, so he couldn't help but panic, and immediately took a step back and said in a low voice, "Are you a woman?" ”
The little thief whimpered quietly, as if aggrieved and afraid, which made Siming a little impatient. The two were in a stalemate for a while, and then Siming said out loud, "Don't cry, where are your accomplices, as long as you confess them, I will intercede with Li Dongjia on your behalf, and let you live, you are a girl, don't do this kind of thing in the future." ”
The thief cried even more, and while crying, he said intermittently, "Wang... Siming, you're too much, how are you... Can it be so... To me, I... How can there be... What accomplices. ”
As soon as he spoke, Siming felt that something was wrong, and compared it with the figure just now, coupled with this somewhat hoarse cry, Siming put the dagger behind his back, and stepped forward to tear off the woman's mask. The woman still wanted to hide again, but she was ripped off by Siming first.
The moon in the sky was very interesting, and together with the light reflected on the water, it was reflected in the cabin, so that the woman's face was at its brightest.
Liang Tian! It's Liang Tian! The mask in his hand swayed with the boat, and Siming stood there speechless for a long time, but there was a lake surging in his eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Siming finally remembered that the two were no longer related.
Liang Tian saw that his identity had been exposed, and he no longer concealed it, and when he was about to speak, there was a sound of footsteps outside, it was a guy who was patrolling the night.
Perhaps someone heard the movement inside and whispered at the window, "Wang Dongjia, what happened?" Siming had to sit back on the bed immediately, put the dagger back under the pillow, and said lazily, "I just got up at night, how is it outside?" ”
The guy replied, "I didn't see anything unusual outside, so I won't disturb Wang Dong's rest." So saying, he took the lantern and walked away on the plank of the boat.
When Siming saw that the people were leaving, he said coldly to Liang Tian, "Say, what are you doing here?" ”
Liang Tian and Siming were in the same room, which was already embarrassing, but now that they were on the same bed again, they couldn't help but move more and more to the end of the bed, listening to Siming's words, their hearts were a little colder, and they wiped their faces with their sleeves and said, "I can't let you go without knowing anything, no matter what you think, I have to come to you to ask for an explanation." ”
"You returned all the things I gave you, even the luggage in the eastern suburbs, what do you want to say now?" Siming was still angry in his heart, and he showed no mercy to Liang Tian at all.
Speaking of this, Liang Tian also panicked, and hurriedly explained, "I thought they were all lying to me and wouldn't let me see you, I asked people to take back the luggage and give the bracelet out, thinking that you would at least be in a hurry to ask me." After speaking, Liang Tian wiped the remaining tears on his face again, and said aggrievedly, "Didn't you see the note in your purse?" My second sister won't let me see you, and I have no other way. ”
Hearing this, Siming hurriedly went under the pillow to get the purse, and when he got it in his hand, he realized that he was too excited, put the purse back again, and said in a suppressed voice, "Since your second sister won't let you come out, how did you find here." ”
"They thought I was asleep and said outside my door, 'You're leaving today.'" I panicked, made an excuse to go to Brother Huai'an, got out, waited for you here in the morning, and finally got on the boat smoothly. ”
Siming was a little unconvinced, looked at the night clothes on Liang Tian's body and said, "You are dressed like this during the day, how did you get on the boat?" ”
When Liang Tian heard Siming mention the night clothes, he seemed to notice the night clothes on his body, and then took off his belt on the bed without any scruples and untied the night clothes.
Where did Siming expect her to do this, he immediately turned his back and said eagerly, "What are you doing here." ”
After being asked, Liang Tian felt ashamed and stammered, "I'll show you the clothes you wear inside, if you can come up in the morning, you can rely on the clothes worn by this guy, and the night clothes are only worn at night, and there are two clothes." ”
When Siming felt that Liang Tian was no longer moving, he turned around and found that Liang Tian was indeed dressed as a man, which eliminated many doubts in his heart.
The other side also saw that Siming let down his guard, and then said, "Now it's my turn to ask you." ”
"Just ask."
"My second sister said that you want to separate from me, is it true?" For this sentence, Liang Tian really went through a lot of hardships.
Siming said, "That's right. ”
Liang Tian was suddenly stunned, large tears poured out of his eyes, and he wiped them with his sleeves, only to find that the tears couldn't be stopped at all, and many things he did before coming had become futile at this time, but he still didn't give up, wiped his tears and asked, "Why?" Is it my second sister, did she say anything? ”
Looking at Liang Tian, who was in tears, Siming was a little unbearable, and wanted to reach out to wipe away her tears, but she still endured it and said in a low voice, "No, I'm not worthy of you." ”
As if grasping the spider silk in hell, Liang Tian said eagerly, "I'm not afraid of hardship, I can be with you, even if it's coarse tea and light rice, I'm willing." I'm willing to go north and south like I am now."
Siming sighed and said, "I used to have someone else in my heart. ”
"I know, I've known all of this, but I just can't control myself. Did you say you liked me at the time and it was all fake? ”
"No, my words at that time were all my sincere words, but I can't be so cruel to you, I'm afraid that one day I will really fail you."
In the end, it was still like this, Liang Tian covered his face and cried, still asking her to be quiet in a hurry, but there was no response. Fortunately, the night watchman was on shift, and he didn't notice the abnormality in the cabin, and Li Ming lived on the other side, so no one knew that there was a woman crying in Siming's room.
I don't know if he was too tired or his heart was dead, after Liang Tian cried for a while, he fell asleep at the end of the bed. Seeing that there was no sound for a long time, Siming had to lean over to take a look, and after learning that it was sleeping, he sighed again, put the person on the bed, covered it with a thin quilt, and went to the table to doze off.
Although Siming was on a large boat, it was more secure than the other smaller ones, and when the sky was still dark, he was awakened by the people running back and forth.
After stretching his waist, Siming came out of the cabin and looked into the distance on the deck, a full moon was still hanging on the Tianshan Mountains, looming, and the sun was about to rise against the mountains, and it should be a sunny day today.
"Wang Dongjia, our host sent me to ask you, do you want to go to breakfast together?" When Siming was stretching his muscles, a guy suddenly came over and asked.
Siming looked into the cabin and replied politely, "I'm tired of telling your host, I'll eat later, and I won't bother you now." ”
The guy got the job and went back.
After stretching out a bit, Siming returned to the cabin, lowered the curtain, and walked to the bed and whispered to wake up the dove occupying the magpie's nest.
The man didn't want to get up, and he was still humming something like 'Second Sister, I'm uncomfortable', Siming felt that something was wrong, and put his hand on the man's forehead, it was hot, and he had a fever.
Siming hurriedly went to the package at the bedside, opened the package that Ah Wu packed, there was no Chinese medicine at all, and went to find the cupboard in the cabin, there was no shadow of Chinese medicine, if it was on land, he could find a herb to replace it, where to find these things on this ship.
