On this night, the stars shifted, the boat moved gently, and a red sun slowly rose on the river.

In the sky, there is a lone eagle screaming, circling and soaring.

"Drop anchor." Two large ships landed on a small island one after the other.

Chang Xi couldn't hold back and fell asleep in the middle of the night, when he felt the hull of the ship shake, and the person woke up suddenly, blinking his sleepy eyes, and his brain reacted a beat slower before he realized where he was.

"Miss? What to do? ”

Chang Xi's voice was deeply uneasy. On the other hand, Zhao Qingmiao's long hair has been curled into a bun, the thin cloud shirt is flowing in the wind, Ruifeng's eyes are lightly closed, and his face is not afraid.

"Act on the opportunist."

In just a few words, Chang Xi's tense nerves loosened a lot. A casual look up, I saw the young man on the other end lazily leaning against the railing wall, his bound hands on his legs, staring at Zhao Qingmiao's back with squinting eyes, I don't know what he was thinking.

The golden glow of the morning sun hit the thin shoulders of the young man, and the black hair that lined up was shiny, but the handsome face was cold.

It's weird, this young man has been fighting with the bandits on the boat since he met yesterday, and he is full of calm and introverted that does not match his age.

Shen Xiao slept very lightly this night. When the morning light was faint, I woke up and saw a shadow poking its head out of the railing, staring at the sunrise in a daze.

Looking at the scene so indifferently, it can be seen that this Miss Zhao is really not afraid, but why is she not afraid of a weak woman?

Shen Xiao dispelled the idea of asking, silently withdrew his gaze, frowned habitually, and swept the island with sharp eyes. To the west of the island, there are not too high green hills, and a faint white curling smoke is rising above a row of sparkling black houses.

The leader ordered some of the men to carry down the looted goods, while the rest of the bandits escorted the men of the merchant ship off the board one by one.

This island is called Qingchuan, originally inhabited by some fishermen who lived near the water, the people were simple, and then somehow the island was mixed with water bandits, and since then they can only join the same stream.

The houses are white and black-tiled, poor and simple. If you don't know that this is the base camp of the water bandits, it is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

"Boss."

"The head of the house is back."

The leader in their mouth is the leader of the water bandits, surnamed Zhang Minglie.

Along the way, they followed the group of bandits into the village, walked across the stone bridge and stepped on the green road. From time to time, villagers in plain cloth shorts come out of their houses, and some people probe their brains with their mouths open, and some people hug their arms as if they were holding their arms deeply.

Shen Xiao observed these people as he walked. Wherever they passed, the villagers did not dare to move forward, their eyes kept flashing, and their expressions were strange. It is not schadenfreude, and it is not true to say that it is scared.

"Don't be foolish, let me go faster!" It just so happened that a boatman was being scolded by the bandits for walking slowly, and the bandit was angry and waved the stick in his hand to make a gesture to hit it, which frightened the boatman to chase after him.

This kind of duck rush to the shelves seems to be in formation, which immediately attracted some islanders to laugh.

Shen Xiao's eyes were sharp, his face was fierce, his eyes were folded and his eyes were lowered, and he dragged his injured leg and limped to make a limp.

White clouds floated over the eaves and a corner of shadow fell, and the scorching sun began to pour a scorching glow on the rubble.

After another roundabout, the crowd stopped in front of a large house without a plaque. Copper-ringed Zhu door, corridor eaves bucket arch, a cluster of fragrant peach branches emerge from the wall, and chamfered bricks are laid on it. They were led into the house, and then dragged to the inner courtyard, where they were pressed on their shoulders.

"Except for this beauty, everyone else is in a dungeon." After Zhang Lie finished speaking, his subordinates pressed people down.

Chang Xi was in a hurry, stretched his neck and shouted: "Leave me, stay me!" I'm going to accompany Miss! ”

Zhang Lie was hot and thirsty, and waved his hand impatiently. "Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu's eyes, take it down!"

"You!" As soon as Chang Xi raised his breath, he felt that one end of the rope that bound his hands was being pulled. She turned her head puzzled to see that it was Shen Xiao.

"Don't do it." Shen Xiao deliberately lowered his eyebrows, and his voice carried the mellowness of a young man.

Obviously, the corners of his mouth were bent, but the tails of his eyes swept but mixed with coldness, Chang Xi couldn't help but shiver, and nodded inexplicably obediently.

Zhao Qingmiao's gaze swept over the two people on the other end, raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help but move her lips.

Shen Xiao happened to look over, thinking that she was going to say something, but she didn't say a word after waiting. The deep eyes then parted their gaze, giving birth to a trace of unprovoked disappointment.

The idle people were gone, Zhang Lie was busy wiping his sweat, he grabbed the tea cup on the case, opened the lid and sent it to his mouth.

Suddenly, his expression was wrong, and he raised his hand and threw it at the window—'bang', and the teacup rolled and shattered into the ground.

"Ahem, ahem!" He choked on his breath, and a sip of overnight herbal tea mixed with a strange smell came out of his mouth.

"Madame! What are you going to eat? Zhang Lie scolded, slammed his fists on the case, and asked the little guy who was waiting on the side.

The little man was not very old, hunched his back and wanted to shrink his head into a shell, and replied tremblingly, "Madame, Madame to take care of the old man—"

"I have to go by myself, is the island going to sink without her! Hum! ”

Zhang Lie still wanted to scold a few words, but when he saw the little girl's timidity, he suddenly lost his interest, retracted his fierce expression, rubbed his chin, and looked at Zhao Qingmiao with a plot.

A few strands of hair were smooth against the thin and fair cheeks, the eyebrows were thin and light, the thick hemp rope was tied with slender hands, the back was straight, and the lips were pursed with a cold face.

"Beauty, I haven't asked you what your name is?"

Zhao Qingmiao's face was slightly gloomy, and he slowed down, raising his eyebrows and looking at each other cautiously.

“？”

Zhang Lie was an anxious person, so he was not angry at the moment, but grinned:

"Don't be afraid, I don't eat people. I just want you to give you a combination of eight characters and see when we get married. ”

This water bandit is really square-headed and big-faced, and he is talking wildly.

Zhao Qingmiao slowed down a few breaths, first pretending to be surprised and dazed, and then said, "My surname is Zhao." What you said, I'm afraid it won't work. ”

Seeing that Zhang Lie's face fell, Zhao Qingmiao explained lightly: "It's not that you can't do it, it's that I can't do it." ”

Zhang Lie tugged at the corners of his mouth, stunned that he didn't understand, but he felt that it might be a procrastination, so he gritted his teeth and asked from the cracks: "Miss, where can't you?" Do you need to see a doctor? ”

Zhao Qingmiao raised her eyebrows slightly, and smiled: "I am Kefu's life, and the doctor has no ability to heal." ”

Zhang Lie's face was extremely ugly, he grabbed Zhao Qingmiao's wrist and stood up and approached, the hand he was holding turned white with force, and said in a bluffing voice: "I don't think you are Kefu, you just don't look down on me at all!" So what! When you went to this island, did you think you could go out? I advise you to be obedient, otherwise you will suffer! ”

Zhao Qingmiao's whole person was like a delicate rabbit being picked up, her figure swayed, and she frowned a little uncomfortably.

"Zhang Lie." A woman in a straight skirt in a green coat stood in the doorway. His eyes were full of resentment, and he stared at them with a calm face.
