"Where are we going?"

Seeing the carriage heading towards the seaside pier, Tang Xi was a little puzzled.

Xie Cheng explained in a low voice: "Go to Lotus Town, take the sea route closer." ”

"I see."

She finally understood why Tang Xiaohe said that the sea was windy, so let them wear more clothes.

When they arrived at the dock, there was already a huge ship parked next to the dock, and Kong Yue and Lin Laosan drove the carriage directly to the ship.

The captain was a middle-aged man, and under the light, his face was somewhat similar to that of the village chief.

As soon as Tang Xi and Xie Cheng got out of the carriage, the captain stepped forward and said respectfully, "A few people, please." ”

Xie Cheng bowed slightly, signaling the captain to lead the way in front.

"What is the relationship between this captain and the village chief?" Tang Xi poked Xie Cheng's waist lightly with his elbow and asked in a low voice.

Xie Cheng lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Captain Cheng is the younger brother of the village chief. ”

Cheng Ming seemed to hear the conversation between the two, turned around and smiled at them, "Tea has been prepared on the second floor, a few of you will go up and rest for a while, and we will help you take care of the things on the carriage." ”

Xie Cheng bowed slightly, and after going up to the second floor, Tang Xi did not drink tea, but went directly to the railing outside to watch, but saw that the sails had not yet risen, and it seemed that he was still waiting for someone.

The sea breeze is indeed a bit strong at night, and the waves hit the boulders, making a thunderous sound, and when you look into the deep sea, you can still see a little light, which should be a fishing boat that goes out to sea late at night to fish.

"What are you thinking?"

A gentle and low voice came from his ears, Tang Xi turned around and smiled, "I'm thinking, life is really not easy." ”

Xie Cheng smiled faintly, walked to her side, looked at the distance of the sea and said lightly: "My father and mother were buried in the sea." ”

Tang Xi suddenly raised his eyes, but saw him under the light, with a little indifference and melancholy.

"Back then, my father and mother had just returned from talking about business elsewhere, and they were also on the sea route, but they met a group of pirates late at night, and those people only killed people and did not rob money."

He sneered, "Although I was young at the time, I had never heard of a pirate who killed people without robbing money. ”

Tang Xi didn't speak, just took his arm, leaned on it, and silently acted as a listener.

"But that's okay." He smiled faintly and said, "The mastermind has been killed by my own hands." ”

"The mastermind...... Is the former Lord of Darknight? She asked in a low voice.

"Yes." He smiled and said: "I thought he was so good at the time, even if my father and mother were gone, my sister and I still had grandparents and grandmothers, as well as Chen Luo, as well as him and Aunt Yan, but I didn't expect ......"

He closed his eyes, tried to suppress his emotions, and said, "He's a brute. ”

"Doesn't City Lord Chen know about this?" Tang Xi asked again.

"I promised Aunt Yan, I can't let him know the truth, and I want him to live well." Xie Cheng smiled bitterly: "I sometimes envy him, at least he doesn't know that the father he admires is not only the enemy of his friend, but also the culprit who killed his mother." ”

"What?" Tang Xi was stunned, "City Lord Chen's mother was also killed by his father?" ”

"Because Aunt Yan discovered his secret, he gave Aunt Yan a chronic poison." Xie Cheng sneered, "I was still thinking about how he could do it to his brother who was like a brother, but then I thought about it, he dared to harm his husband and wife, what else could not be done." ”

It's ridiculous that he regarded that man as one of the most respected people in his life at that time, but he didn't want to, and he mistook the enemy for a benefactor.

He didn't say the reason, Tang Xi didn't dare to ask more for fear that he would be sad, so he could only stand silently beside him and accompany him silently.
