Who is the owner of the sea and flying clouds?

Hearing me ask, Xue Muhua didn't answer me immediately, but frowned as if he was in some confusion. She thought for a while before she looked up at me, shook her head slightly, and said, "He's a very strange person. ”

"Strange?"

"I don't spend much time talking to him, but I'm always in the same boat and we see him a lot." She said this, pondering for a moment, and then said, "He is a man with a very hearty temperament, and I have rarely seen such a heroic man, but—"

"But what?"

"However, I feel that he seems to be hiding a lot of things in his heart." As she spoke, she looked up at me and said, "Really, I really feel this way." This person is definitely not as simple as an ordinary pirate. ”

“……”

This time, I fell silent.

Xue Muhua's temperament, I still know it very well, although she once sat as a hall master of the sect and was in charge of the operation of most of the black market in Yangzhou, but in fact, her temperament is quite simple, and even straightforward as a child, in this regard, she is similar to Han Zitong.

However, even she could feel that the leader of the pirates was not simple, and said that he had a lot of things hidden in his heart.

I remembered the tall figure standing on the edge of the boat when I was still in the sea, and the face that was as hideous as a ghost in the sun.

I asked, "Did he bring—"

"A ghost mask." Xue Muhua quickly took my words and said, "When I go to sea, I often wear a ghost mask. ”

"Have you seen his face?"

"I've seen him—"

Before she finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door outside, she and I subconsciously closed our mouths, and after hearing a few knocks, a person said outside the door: "Miss Xue, big brother wants to see her." ”

Xue Muhua's whole person was shocked.

"See her? Why? ”

"We don't dare to ask about this, the boss asked me to come over and have a look, and if she's okay when she's awake, let her go over immediately."

“……”

Xue Muhua frowned slightly, she looked at the door that was still closed, looked at me again, and silently asked me if I would like to go.

I was a little grateful to her, and she was probably afraid that something would happen to me, after all, unlike her, I had nothing to do with these pirates, and if they were to do something to me together, there was nothing I could do. But at this time, I was not afraid, not only was I not afraid, but there was a trace of excitement in my heart that even I could clearly feel.

This pirate leader, this huge sea-crossing flying cloud.

And their strange behavior of attacking Yan Qinghan and chasing other pirates, I feel that there may be some mysteries that I can't figure out, which can be explained here.

So, I said softly, "I'm much better." ”

Xue Muhua certainly understood what I meant, she gently pressed the back of my hand, and then helped me up from the bed with her backhand. I rested for a while and finally recovered a little, but I was still very weak, and when I stood up, everyone was trembling, and Xue Muhua could only help me out. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a middle-aged man with a meaty face and a very fierce face standing outside.

Although his face was fierce, his expression was very calm, and he politely said to us, "It's in his room, you guys go over." ”

"Okay."

Xue Muhua nodded, and helped me walk slowly.

This ship, I had seen its enormity before, and now that I had stepped out of the cabin and walked inside, I was even more impressed by the complexity of its architecture. The corridor in it turns and turns, like a huge labyrinth, twisting and turning, along the way to see countless cabins, different sizes, but all scattered, like a complex, but well-planned housing community.

Xue Muhua led me to the door of a room.

This door looks bigger than the door of the cabin that I passed by before, and the door is hidden, Xue Muhua went over and knocked on the door with one hand: "Big brother." ”

A rough and deep man's voice immediately came from inside: "Hmm. ”

"I brought her, I brought the Light Girl."

"You let her in."

"I—"

"You've been watching over them since yesterday, and now it's time to go back and get some rest."

This person speaks, simple and concise, and seems to be accustomed to giving orders, although he does not have the domineering and ferocity of a pirate as he imagined, but he always gives people a feeling of being condescending, being looked downon, and even being suppressed.

Xue Muhua turned his head to look at me, his eyes flickering, as if to say, "Are you okay?" ”

I nodded slightly.

She was still not very reassured, but I had slowly raised my hand to push the door open, and she could only watch me hold on to the door frame, and walked in cautiously alone, and when I entered the room, she also turned away.

At the moment, I was a little surprised.

This room was quite large, and as soon as I walked in, it was like walking into a large hall in the imperial city, spacious and tall, equivalent to the cabin I had been in several times before; Moreover, windows are opened on the left and right walls of the room, and the sun is shining, illuminating the whole room brightly, like a container full of sunlight.

There is not much else in this room except for the sun.

There are very few furnishings inside, only three chairs in a row on the left and right, a tall wide chair in front of it, enough for two or three people to sit on it, and behind the chairs, it seems to be divided into a simple room, and a bed can be faintly seen, and there is nothing else.

A figure slowly walked out from behind.

I immediately held my breath.

Walking out was a rather tall man, not only tall, but also extremely athletic, it was the middle of winter, and he was only wearing a thin cloth shirt, the brown cloth shirt had been washed white, and his chest was also very large, revealing broad and thick shoulders, a strong chest, and even a few solid muscles on the waist and abdomen.

I subconsciously lowered my head.

But, of course, at this time, you can't reprimand him for being disheveled in front of a woman, after all, his identity is a pirate.

I looked up again and looked into his face.

That ghost face, once again, came into view.

It was the same as when I saw it in the sea before, it was an iron mask, but unlike the simple and cold half mask on Liu Qinghan's face, this person's iron mask covered his entire face, and the mask was cast with grimaces, green fangs, hideous and terrifying, like a demon running out of hell.

I just felt like I was breathing fast.

Iron...... Mask!

The man in front of me is-

As I looked at this man, he was holding on to the arm of the wide chair, facing me, and looking me up and down, and just as my heart was surging and I could hardly hold back my desire to ask, I heard his low, hoarse voice behind the mask and the sound of the urn behind the mask.

"Who are you from Huaiyin?"

The first sight of that name suffocated my breath.

Huaiyin ......

Mother's name.

It's just two simple words, even when it is read on the tip of the tongue, it is faint, and it can't evoke a little reverie, my mother's name is as simple as a catkins floating in the air in spring, and the snow-white waves churning on the sea, but at this moment, in my heart, set off a thousand waves.

After all these years, no one mentions the name again.

In Xichuan, her status is very high, and there are very few people who are qualified to call her name, and now there are almost none, even Xue Qian, who is only called "that woman and that woman", so over the years, I have almost forgotten jì, my mother's name, for me, this name is more like a taboo, sealing all the dusty secrets and past events of the past ten years.

At this moment, I was caught off guard by the fact that it was presented in front of my eyes.

I said, "I'm her daughter." ”

Maybe it's because I'm at sea, no matter how big the ship is, it's also undulating with the waves, and I feel that the sturdy planks under my feet are also undulating, and the waves almost make me unsteady on my feet.

When I said this, I almost stumbled a step.

And behind the hideous mask, it seemed that the person was also silent for a while.

The sound of the waves fills every minute of air around us, every breath between breaths.

Then I saw him slowly walking towards me.

Then I realized that he was much taller than I had imagined, even taller and more burly than I had seen him for the first time, and when he came before me, it was like a mountain standing in front of me, blocking all the sunlight in the room, except for his mask, which was close at hand, showing its hideous fangs.

He looked at me for a long time, and I thought he was going to say something, but when I heard him behind the mask, I let out a long sigh.

That sigh revealed indescribable exhaustion and fatigue, as well as full of vicissitudes.

I even felt that his burly figure collapsed a little in an instant.

For a moment, my throat was completely choked, and the doubts and questions that had been churning in my mind before, those questions, could not be asked at all at this moment, only looking at this tall man, the hideous mask, quietly in front of me, and the sound of the waves was endless, it seemed that his years were flowing away like water.

After some time, he slowly raised a hand.

His hands are large, his fingers are slender and well-proportioned, only the joints are slightly raised, the nails of each finger are cut into ovals, which are quite clean and neat, and his hands also have thick calluses, which make the palms have a faint yellowish color. The hand slowly reached out to me, to the top of my head, like an elder trying to touch the top of a little girl's head.

However, as soon as his hand touched my hair, he stopped.

He said, "I've seen you. ”

I nodded.

"I haven't seen you in years."

I nodded.

"At that time, you were still very young, but I was afraid that you didn't remember me at all."

"But I know you."

I looked at him, and as soon as I opened my mouth, my voice was completely choked, and my eyes almost flashed with tears. He felt the hand above his head tremble slightly, and his breath behind the mask suffocated.

"Do you know who I am?"

“…… Well. I nodded, looked at the hideous mask, and said word by word: "Iron - face - king." ”
