Chapter 033: Confession
When Du Xiaobai woke up with his eyes open, what he saw was a blue sky.
He raised his head and looked around, and found himself lying on the deck of a ship, Xiao Yuyao leaning against the guardrail a meter away from him, napping. On the other side, more than 100 spirits lay on the ground sleeping, snoring incessantly. Eight or nine Fire Dragon Clan soldiers were also sitting crookedly by the guardrail, holding their weapons, and fell into a deep sleep.
The ship rose and fell, and only the sound of rushing water and snoring echoed in my ears.
Du Xiaobai sat up, he was a little puzzled, wasn't he in the disaster relief just now, why did he become like this as soon as he opened his eyes?
I remember feeling a little sleepy at the time, did I fall asleep right after?
However, now I feel very comfortable all over my body, and I haven't felt this kind of whole body comfort for a long time since I had a toothache in the world.
Du Xiaobai stood up, and couldn't bear to wake up Xiao Yuyao, who was sleeping, looking at her, she was still covered in dirt.
If she had fallen asleep at that time, she would have been exhausted.
He came to the stern of the boat, and looked back, and in the distance he could see the crossing of the Lechuan River, where many wrecks of ships were scattered and floating, and many people were still standing on the shore.
Du Xiaobai looked back and forth for a while, and was puzzled.
Why is there only one boat you are on?
"Are you awake?"
Xiao Yuyao's voice came from behind him.
"Well," Du Xiaobai was afraid of disturbing the sleeping people, so he came to Xiao Yuyao's side and said softly: "Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I didn't dare to wake you up, this is ...... What the hell is going on?"
Xiao Yuyao looked at Du Xiaobai's face, took out a small mirror, handed it to Du Xiaobai, and said, "Look in the mirror yourself and take a look." ”
Du Xiaobai glanced at Xiao Yuyao suspiciously, looked down at the mirror, and was suddenly dumbfounded.
How did your face change? It's a different person entirely......
He looked at the left side of his face, looked at the right side of his face, looked at his chin, and then looked at Xiao Yuyao with his mouth wide open, and couldn't say a word in surprise.
Xiao Yuyao bit her lip lightly, blinked her eyes at Du Xiaobai, who looked confused, and sighed: "There are some things that I wanted to hide from you, but now it seems that I have to say ......."
"What...... What's the matter?" Du Xiaobai had a bad premonition.
"Brother Du, sit down, this matter is a long story. Xiao Yuyao gently patted the ground beside her.
Du Xiaobai slowly moved to sit next to Xiao Yuyao, his eyes kept staring at Xiao Yuyao nervously, like looking at a judge who was about to pronounce his sentence.
"Let's start with a liquid...... Xiao Yuyao said slowly.
After a few minutes, Du Xiaobai roughly understood what was going on.
It has been nearly a day since I fell asleep, and the whole process of disaster relief has basically ended because many souls have participated in the disaster relief. The casualties were significant, with about a third of the dead and numerous minor and serious injuries.
After falling asleep suddenly, Xiao Yuyao quickly rushed to his side, only to find that he began to spin silk cocoons, and while worried, he hurriedly dragged himself to a place with fewer people and found two clothes to cover himself. In less than half an hour, the cocoon he made had cracked, and then he became what he is now.
I am like this, it should be because I drank a kind of Holy Mother Lotus liquid with great side effects in Pei's hometown. And at that time, he had done a cocoon at Pei Lao's house, and Xiao Yuyao was worried that he wouldn't be able to accept it, so he didn't tell himself first.
However, as the first person in the disaster relief, he is the biggest hero of this disaster relief, and many people recognize his appearance. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Xiao Yuyao lied to others that she was a disguise master invited by the Spirit Butterfly Clan, and her appearance was originally what she is now.
Xiao Yuyao said this, and many people listened to it. Everyone turned around and continued to do their own thing, moving stones and carrying people. Moreover, it has been a long time since Hades has seen such a scene of all people working together.
After that, many doctors came to the Spirit Butterfly Clan and treated the injured. Under the call of An Nantian, the Fire Dragon Clan deployed many people from the other three clans to help, which accelerated the rescue work.
After sleeping for a day, the seriously injured were basically rerouted and transported back to the nearest Spirit Butterfly Clan for treatment, and the other lightly injured and a large number of souls behind continued to wait for the boat at the ferry to cross the river together.
Because she promised to take herself to see the old woman, Xiao Yuyao did not go home with the car of the Spirit Butterfly Clan, and kept waiting by her side.
Due to the intrusion of the tide, most of the boats that had been docked on the shore were basically damaged, and earlier today, only this white bullant boat swayed to the shore. Because he was a hero of disaster relief, and Xiao Yuyao said that he needed to cross the river by boat, people took the initiative to make a vacant space for the two of them on the boat, and then let those souls who were the first to participate in the rescue and had been overdrawn board the boat to cross the river together.
Nearly a day of unsightly, non-stop exertion, these men went up to the ship and lay down and fell asleep.
After listening to what Xiao Yuyao said, Du Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Whether on earth or in the underworld, no matter where you are, the power of love is eternal. In the face of great life, many people will temporarily put aside their personal grievances and hatreds to make their own efforts and sacrifices for love.
"It's just ......" Xiao Yuyao lowered her head and said softly, "Uncle Liang, when the stone disaster occurred, he covered the two nearby soldiers...... Hurt too badly to wake up......"
Xiao Yuyao turned her head to the side slightly, sobbing softly, she didn't want Du Xiaobai to see her tears.
Hearing the news, Du Xiaobai didn't know why, but he wasn't too sad.
On the contrary, he felt that that good uncle was worthy of dying in such a way. Flying eaves and walls, flying sand and stones, decisive rewards and punishments, and equal emphasis on grace and power, such a hero, such a man, if he finally dies of illness on the bed, it will humiliate his former glory.
To live like a hero and die like a hero should be the dream of many men.
Du Xiaobai patted Xiao Yuyao's shoulder lightly, without saying a word, at this time, the language was the palest.
"Many people of the Fire Dragon Clan are such a character...... Xiao Yuyao wiped away her tears and said softly, "For the sake of others and for the sake of righteousness, you can ignore your own life and death, instead of trying to survive in every possible way...... Sometimes, I even wish I was born in the An family, not in the Xiao family......"
Du Xiaobai frowned, he couldn't understand the exact subtext of Xiao Yuyao's words, but he could hear that Xiao Yuyao had his own dissatisfaction with his family.
"Brother Du, in fact, I have my own selfish intentions...... Now that talents are rare in the underworld, I see that you have miraculous abilities, and the poison in you is very important for our Spirit Butterfly Clan to study the poisonous water of the Lechuan River, so I originally wanted to hide it from An Jia and keep you in the Spirit Butterfly Clan. Regarding the matter of the Lotus Liquid, I even privately decided to hide it from you first, don't you think that I, a girl, is too selfish and despicable......"
Xiao Yuyao has experienced this disaster and seen too much light of humanity, and it is really difficult for her to continue to deceive Du Xiaobai with a clear conscience.
"You're so tired. Du Xiaobai said lightly.
"What?" Xiao Yuyao looked at Du Xiaobai suspiciously.
Du Xiaobai smiled faintly and said, "I said, you are really tired." Miss Xiao, you're thinking too much. ”
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yuyao was still puzzled.
Du Xiaobai looked at the sky and continued: "Although I don't know the details, I can see that you are very dissatisfied with your family, and the disaster just now, Uncle Liang's death, may have pierced your heart. ”
When Xiao Yuyao heard this, she silently lowered her head.
"However, for the sake of my family and family, no matter what way or what I do, I think it's understandable," Du Xiaobai stood up and gently touched Xiao Yuyao's head, just like treating a sister, "The only thing that makes me feel a little too much is that a big family, let a little girl who is only twenty years old, bear such a lot of pressure, let her do things against her will, I think, someone must be to blame." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuyao buried her head deep in her knees, and tears instantly soaked her clothes.
"However, you Brother Du and I have a decision. Du Xiaobai looked at the crying Xiao Yuyao and said.
Xiao Yuyao raised her head and looked at Du Xiaobai suspiciously, tears had already painted her exquisite face.
"I decided to help you. After meeting the old woman, I will go back to you for you to test. Du Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Why are you doing this...... Even if you leave now, I won't say anything......" Xiao Yuyao wiped a handful of tears and asked a little surprised.
"Sister Yuyao, since I came to the underworld, your help and kindness to me are innumerable, and I can see that your intentions are good. If I can use my blood to find out the poisonous components of the Lechuan River, it will not only live up to your wishes, but also indirectly save the people of the underworld...... Your big brother Du lives a little bit in the world, and when you come to the underworld, you finally have the opportunity to be a hero, how can you let it go?" Du Xiaobai smiled and made a V-shaped gesture of victory.
When Xiao Yuyao saw Du Xiaobai's expression, she couldn't help but burst into tears and smiled: "Brother Du, in fact, when you were in the disaster relief yesterday, you were already a hero......
"Hehe, hehe, in fact, I just did a little bit of something, not enough to worry about, not enough to worry about! However, a manly man, I should be a hero in life, and I should be a ghost in death, I am not a hero now, I am a ghost male, ahahaha......" Du Xiaobai crossed his psoas muscles and laughed loudly.
Xiao Yuyao looked at Du Xiaobai, who was not very concerned at this time, and smiled slightly, in her heart, she was full of infinite gratitude to this Brother Du.
"But ......" Du Xiaobai suddenly restrained his smile and said seriously.
