Hearing my question, his shoulders stiffened slightly, as if he thought of some disturbing memory, and even his face turned paler.

After a pause, he said, "Pirates." ”

"What?!"

"Pirates." He looked at me and said word for word, "We have been attacked by pirates. ”

“……”

I didn't speak immediately, but pondered for a moment before I looked up at him, my eyes flickering. He looked at my smiling eyes, frowned slightly, and said, "What? Do you think I'm deceiving you when I say I met a pirate? ”

I hooked the corners of my lips again before saying, "Zhoushan Master, you won't be beaten like this by pirates, right?" Can't even keep Yangzhou Mansion Yin? ”

He was taken aback and his eyes widened: "How do you know that we are going to Zhoushan?" ”

“……”

He looked at me in surprise, but I was just faint and didn't speak. In the silence of the two people, he slowly understood, they all followed Yan Qinghan to the sea, and Yan Qinghan's map was taken from me, more or less, I will have more clues than them. So, he himself seemed to chuckle lightly, and no longer hidden: "That's right, we originally planned to stop in Zhoushan for a while, and then move on. ”

"Originally intended? You don't—"

"Yes, we didn't get to Zhoushan, and we encountered a storm on the way."

"Tempest!" I was stunned, could it be that we were in the same storm?

"So, we also deviated from course, and as a result, I don't know in which body of water, we encountered those pirates."

I frowned—they had also encountered pirates, was it the same group of pirates that attacked Yan Qinghan and them?

However, if it is calculated in this way, the time between attacking Yan Qinghan and finding Liu Qinghan's ship is too short, and the group of pirates is inevitably a little too vicious.

I asked, "So, you guys fought, and then, your fleet was destroyed?" ”

"Hmm. They probably thought our ship was a merchant ship, so they wanted to rob it, and we had set sail in a hurry, and we were going to Zhoushan to meet the sailors, so we didn't have too many weapons on board, so—"

Speaking of this, he inevitably felt a little frustrated and frustrated, but it was already at this point, and it was useless to say more.

He, after all, is still a civil official, and he is completely blind to maritime affairs, as for Wen Fengxi, the so-called interlaced lines are like mountains, even if they are in the same line and in different fields, they are simply a layman. A general like him is probably at a loss when he is put on the sea.

Pei Yuanhao sent them to the sea, probably because they had gone deep into Xichuan and knew Yan Qinghan's situation better, and if they could really meet with Zhoushan Shui Shi, it should still be a powerful boost, but they didn't expect such an accident to happen halfway.

Anyway, I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Li'er, she's not on the boat.

As long as Li'er didn't go to sea and wasn't involved in these dangers, I wouldn't be so nervous no matter how things developed.

After all, some things are man-made.

Liu Qinghan didn't indulge in his frustration for too long, and after resting for a while, he finally recovered a little, drank some water, and wanted to try to stand up.

As soon as he reached out to support the ground, I hurried over to help him.

His arms still have some strength, but because the clothes on his body are not dry, the wet clothes are worn on his body, and the sea breeze blows like this, and I deeply understand the bone-chilling cold, which is very uncomfortable. I held him up and whispered, "Don't move yet." ”

He looked up at me, and I helped him to sit down, and I ran to the other side to light a bonfire with the fire I had left, and then came over to help him to the fire.

He hesitated: "Wet your clothes, you will catch a cold." ”

I didn't look down at him, but said lightly, "You take care of yourself first." ”

“……”

He was silent for a moment, didn't say anything more, and slowly stood up holding my arm. I could feel that he didn't put all the weight of his body on me, but tried to support himself as much as possible, so he walked extremely hard in these few steps, and even several times, I felt his feet go limp, and he almost fell.

I gritted my teeth and reached out to wrap my arms around his waist and hold him hard.

His rapid breathing, and mine's chaotic breathing, were almost intertwined, but the two of them did not look at each other from beginning to end, nor did they say a word more.

He won't know what I remembered at this moment.

It's the same way, the salty smell of the air, the cold wind, the warm sunshine, all make people feel that the years are quiet, he helped me who was paralyzed, in his humble little yard, step by step.

I don't know, is God doing a fun game, when I fell into the water and was rescued by him, he took care of it carefully, so many years later, a qiē seems to be re-enacted by the gourd painting scoop, only this time, I saved him, I fed him water and food, and I helped him to take a weak step.

However, he will never rely on me with all his trust as I did in the first place.

When he finally reached the campfire, he sat down almost in collapse.

I ignored him and added some more wood to the fire.

He looked around and said, "How long have you been here?" What's the neighborhood like? ”

"We've only been here for two days." I said, "There shouldn't be any big, ferocious beasts around here, but there are thorns everywhere. Zitong and I planned to drive a road up the mountain to see what was on the other side of the island, but when we saw you, we didn't go any further. ”

When he heard this, he hurriedly said, "When I am rested, I will go with you." ”

I glanced up at him in the firelight and smiled faintly: "Now there are only three of us on the island, of course we have to be together." ”

He looked at my smile like this, as if he understood something, and smiled faintly.

The smile, the indescribable clarity, and the dazedness.

Although I told Han Zitong all the possible ways to be rescued before, which relieved her heart, what I didn't tell her was that all the things I said were only one percent of the possibility that they would happen in reality, and more likely that all people thought that we had been buried at the bottom of the sea and would not come to find them; Even if they come to find it, the vast sea, what chance do they have of being able to get to this water, this island?

The greater possibility is that we live on this island.

It's just that now, it's become three people dependent on each other.

After saving Liu Qinghan, we did not go up the mountain as originally planned, but continued to stay on the beach, firstly, to let him recuperate, and secondly, we also needed more food.

It's just that when I caught the fish this time, I was almost stung by the peach blossom fish swimming to the shallows several times, but fortunately, his eyes were bright, and he immediately reminded me when he saw it, so I escaped.

In the evening, Liu Qinghan ate another fish, and his face looked much better.

But when I saw that his eyelids drooped, I knew that his body had not yet recovered, and he was already very tired after talking to me for so long, so I helped him lie down and said, "You can rest for a while." ”

"Really, I'm sorry for you."

"Don't talk about that at this time. Tomorrow, you should be able to feel better. ”

"Thank you."

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes, and after a while he fell asleep, his face only the flickering light and shadow cast by the flickering flames.

I only glanced at his peaceful sleeping face, then turned my head away, and was about to go to find Han Zitong to come back, but when I turned my head, I saw her standing not far from us, a bush of thick branches and leaves blocking her body, only revealing her frowning brow and deep eyes, looking at the two of us with a hint of coldness.

I walked over: "Angry? ”

As soon as she heard this, the coldness immediately turned into anger, and she glared at me fiercely.

I said calmly: "It doesn't matter if it's eliminated or not, it's good to know that you'll come back." Hungry or not? Eat something. ”

After speaking, I turned around and picked up the grilled fish wrapped in banana leaves and baked by the fire, and turned around and handed it to her, but she did not reach out to take it, but still glared at me: "You said that you were a fisherwoman, so there is always a fisherman, right?" ”

“……”

"You are a dignified lady of the Yan family, who taught you how to catch fish?"

“……”

"If you can't forget it, why don't you sue him? What are you two frowning like that? ”

I glanced up at her.

Maybe it was a little angry for a while, I forgot to ask her "what do you mean by eyebrows", and only sneered: "I don't have to sue him, I don't have to worry about others." ”

She also sneered: "Hey, I'll say one less word." You can't forget it, but others can't forget it. Even if you sue him, he won't believe it, right? ”

I looked back, and the man's clothes were not yet dry, but he was a little chilled because he was baked by the fire, and he was curled up by the fire, trembling slightly, and seemed to be sleeping unsteadily. I didn't speak, but walked past her and walked away from the person before I turned around and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Han Zitong said viciously: "You doubt my sister? ”

"It doesn't matter."

"Or are you just suspicious of Yuan Xiu at all?"

“……”

This sentence was like icy seawater, rushing up to my head, and my breath was suffocated.

As if she was inadequate, she gritted her teeth and said, "You doubt your husband? ”

“……”

As soon as the sun went down, the temperature on the island began to plummet, and we used to spend it by campfire, but now that we were far away from the fire, the wind felt like it was blowing through my skin, and I shivered slightly.

After a long stalemate, I finally regained the consciousness of breathing, but my chest seemed to be pressed against a thousand heavy stones, and every breath was so heavy and so difficult. I said with difficulty: "Before I return to the land, before I find out the truth, I doubt no one, and no one doubts." ”

She immediately sneered: "Still say you don't doubt it? You are simply suspicious of Yuan Xiu, suspicious of my sister! ”

I looked at her and burst out laughing.

I just found out now that I have no need to argue with a woman who is completely on Pei Yuanxiu's side and Han Ruoshi's position, and it is impossible for me to win, because there is no fairness, because no matter what, no matter what morality, the commanding heights of feelings are with her, because-I am a woman who is loved by Pei Yuanxiu.

I was loved by him, and in front of the woman who loved him, I had already "lost" first.

My smile seemed to anger her.

She walked up to me in two steps, almost nose to nose, and said viciously, "Are you worthy of him?" ”

In the face of her angry appearance, I became calmer, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said indifferently: "Han Zitong, I don't want to discuss this matter with you now, in fact, I don't need to discuss it with you." Am I worthy of him, this is a matter for the two of us, before Yuan Xiu opened his mouth and I asked this sentence, no one was qualified to ask me, not even his mother and Yao Lao! I don't fight with you, not because I can't fight with you, and not because you love him, and he loves me, I must owe him, and I owe you—"

Before she finished speaking, she immediately acted like a cat had been stepped on by its tail: "What did you say!?" ”

“……”

"What, what I love him, you!"

I looked at her flushed face, and the twinkle in her eyes, and somehow, as if she was a little weak, and smiled faintly in my heart.

No wonder, against their sisters, it makes me feel that it is the most difficult battle to win, not because of anything else, but more, because of her, this woman like a child, no matter how much scheming and scheming I have, I can't use a child, but behind this child, there are other people, scheming, scheming.

At this time, the panic on her face had not faded, but as if she wanted to hide something, she said viciously: "It is true that someone loves Yuan Xiu, but it's not me, even if you are blind, you should see that my sister loves him!" ”

"If it weren't for you, if you hadn't shown up—"

“……”

"But you damn it, not only did you appear, but you also married him. Do you know how sad my sister is, how sad she is? ”

"......" I looked at her indifferently and expressionlessly.

"You know that Yuan Xiu almost turned his face against my sister for you, but you, how can you bear to treat him like this?!"

"Flip the face?"

As soon as I heard these two words, I immediately frowned.

Pei Yuanxiu and Han Ruoshi, almost turned their faces? What's going on?

If you say that you turn your face...... At the beginning, Han Zitong was going to kill me as soon as they met, and then he was grounded by Pei Yuanxiu, it was still on the chassis of their sisters, if she said that she turned her face, she and Pei Yuanxiu turned her face, how could it be Han Ruoshi?

I subconsciously asked, "What do you mean when you say that the two of them almost turned their faces?" ”

Han Zitong said indignantly: "Do you know what Yuan Xiu said to my sister before he decided to marry you? ”
