The noisy docks of the day fell silent in the silent night.

Except for the two rows of tiled houses on the shore where people on night watch walked back and forth, the seaside was even more empty, only the sound of the waves crashing against the reef could be heard, and occasionally seabirds passed by, disappearing into the vast night in a blink of an eye.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the stars are bleak.

Wang Rong led people along the north to look for the north, Pei Ze and Hua Jiao went all the way south along the seaside, Hua Jiao trotted all the way on the beach and shouted his cousin, Pei Ze followed silently, there was no boat on the sea, and the beach was empty, the more you walked, the fewer reefs there were, only the sea breeze swirled and whimpered on the treetops of the windbreak.

The pepper couldn't run anymore after running for a while, and slowed down out of breath.

Pei Ze quickly came to the front calmly, and saw that she was sweating profusely, her hair was messy, and she was very embarrassed, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my cousin is fine, she is in a bad mood at most, so she comes out for a walk." ”

"But it's so late......" Hua Jiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and said worriedly, "In case she can't think about it and looks for a short time, then I, I won't forgive myself......"

She clearly knew that Feng had been hit.

But instead of comforting her well, she cruelly asked her to do multiple-choice questions, but she forgot that Feng was an ancient woman, and no matter which choice she could easily accept.

"It's none of your business, don't think too much about it." Pei Ze took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, comforting, "My cousin is too stubborn, such a thing will happen sooner or later, she doesn't understand the truth that bear paws and shark fin can't have both, so there is today's situation." ”

"You mean that she should accept that woman with joy?" Huajiao took the handkerchief casually, wiped his sweat, and realized that this was the handkerchief he was carrying, and felt a little embarrassed, so he found a bay, washed the handkerchief, wrung it out and handed it to him, Pei Ze looked down at her, "You take it first!" ”

Huajiao had to wrap the handkerchief around his wrist, and seeing that he didn't answer, he asked as he walked, "Is it a great sense of accomplishment for you men to feel that the red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags flutter outside?" ”

"You're mistaken, I'm not that kind of person." Pei Ze coughed lightly, "Are you still going forward?" ”

"What's going on up front?" Only then did Hua Jiao find that there was an estuary in front of him, and there was a river more than ten meters wide in front of the two, like a mirror, Hua Jiao suddenly understood, which is why the town was close along the sea, but the people in the village still walked the mountain road, with this river, they still had to go back to the mountain road.

"After crossing this river, it is Tonghua Village, do you want to go back to the village to see?" Pei Ze pointed to the path by the river, from this path is the Tiger Roaring Gang, Hua Jiao nodded and said, "Let's go back to the village and have a look, maybe my cousin has returned to the village." ”

The two of them went all the way west along the riverside path, and soon arrived at the mountain road on the side of Huxiao Gang, surrounded by shadows of trees, shadows, thinking of the black-clothed man who suddenly appeared that day, Hua Jiao still had some palpitations, and followed closely behind Pei Ze, oh my God, in the middle of the night, it was too scary to walk on such a mountain road......

"What? Scared? Pei Ze felt her nervousness, and there was a smile in his eyes, "Don't worry, at this hour, there is nothing here, and it is safer than during the day!" ”

"You're skilled, of course you're not afraid." Huajiao lowered his head and walked, simply not looking at the invisible forest around him, Pei Ze smiled: "Then you shouldn't be afraid, even if there is anything, I won't leave you alone, right?" ”

"That's just as well." When passing by Huxiaogang, Pei Ze suddenly stopped, and Huajiao almost hit him again, only to see Pei Ze raise his hand and point to Huxiaogang: "Look there......"

Huajiao hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see the blue light shining on the side of Huxiaogang, just like countless fireflies flying there, and even some blue light jumping and rolling in the forest, this is the ghost fire rumored in ten miles and eight towns......

"Are you scared?" Pei Ze asked.

"Don't be afraid." Sichuan pepper shook his head, as good as a stream, "Those who glow should be some fungi, these fungi contain fluorescein in their bodies, they like to adsorb on big trees, inconspicuous during the day, and in the clear and windless night, they tend to emit this light blue light, which is not surprising." ”

Pei Ze: "......"

He thought she was going to be so frightened that she hid in his arms......

Feng's house was locked and he didn't go home at all.

Pei Ze meant to let Hua Jiao go home to rest, he went to the town alone to meet Wang Rong, Hua Jiao refused, had to go with him, Pei Ze had to rely on her, take her to the beach to take a boat, I don't know when two tiled houses have been built on the other side of the bay, there are lights on inside, when the two approached, a sleepy-eyed young man came out, saw that it was Pei Ze, quite surprised: "Dongjia, it's so late, why are you here?" ”

As he spoke, he hugged his fist at Huajiao again, and shouted respectfully: "My sister-in-law is also here." ”

Sister-in-law?

Huajiao didn't listen to it at all, and responded indiscriminately: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Who is his sister-in-law......

He stood with his back lit, and she couldn't see his face clearly.

But he is tall and tall, with a strong physique, and Hua Jiao can't tell whether it is Lao Li Tou or Lao Lin Tou's son.

"I've got something to go to town." Pei Ze untied the rope, jumped on the boat first, stretched out his hand to Hua Jiao, dragged her up, clicked the oars, the wooden boat quickly left the bay, Hua Jiao pointed to the house on the shore and asked, "When will the house be built?" ”

"I built it the other day." Pei Ze replied, "The two of them helped me look at the fish pond, it is not good if there is no place to live, they have been sleeping on the boat for the first few days, it is fine on sunny days, but not on rainy days." ”

"They are truly loyal to you." Hua Jiao looked at Pei Zedao meaningfully, "Including the two uncles in my store......"

First Sheng Mingyan, and now these two pairs of father and son.

Coupled with his skills, Hua Jiao felt more and more that Pei Ze was unfathomable, before she suspected that he was a bandit from Qinglongzhai, but now she felt more and more that he was not like a bandit, because he was calm, he was not in a hurry, and he did not have the slightest bit of gangsterism, but he was very easy-going with people.

As for him beating Xu Da, he also beat Qin Wuye.

That's because they deceived people too much, and Pei Ze couldn't bear it before he moved his hand.

He had said before that he didn't want to get his hands dirty.

"After wandering outside for so long, it is inevitable that you will meet a few like-minded friends." Pei Ze shook the oars, turned his head to look at the little girl sitting in the cabin, and said in a deep voice, "They are all good people, you have to believe in them." ”

"I know." Pepper nodded.

When the boat approached the dock, a group of people with torches suddenly rushed over from the shore and shouted: "Catch him, catch him quickly, he is from Qinglong Village, don't let him run." ”

Sichuan pepper's heart tightened.

Subconsciously turned his head to look at Pei Ze.
