Chapter 5 Bai Fan
Wu Xiaohua rowed the boat hard, and as she got closer and closer to the shore, she saw the sailors stationed on the shore looking at the shore with fierce eyes. "Who?"
Wu Xiaohua hurriedly turned around, and under the concealment of the reef, rowed away the unguarded reef. It was an outlet to the sea that some daring people had discovered since the ban on access to the sea was issued. There are reef walls several feet high, and you have to climb up and down with the help of ropes. Just at the bottom of the reef wall, Wu Xiaohua saw a figure of a white flower, floating face up on the sea, constantly crashing into the reef wall under the impact of the waves.
Wu Xiaohua hurriedly rowed over, and when she looked closely, it was actually a white-scaled shark. The white-scaled mermaid was seriously injured, covered with large and small burn marks, and most of the arm and tail of the fish were missing on one side, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
"It's best to be dead!"
Wu Xiaohua cursed, turned her head and saw that it was dying, and couldn't help but feel compassion.
"It's cheap for you to die...... Picking up a big fish for nothing, it's enough for us to eat for days! No matter how bad it is, give it to those who are soldiers, and maybe you can exchange it for some rewards......"
Wu Xiaohua made a bold decision, she wanted to take it home. She tied it to herself with a rope and dragged it up the reef wall little by little. The weight of the two people was stacked on top of each other, and it was quite heavy. Several times, Wu Xiaohua almost fell. When she got up, she lay on the reef and gasped for breath, and when she looked down, she realized that her hands were a blur of flesh and blood.
After resting for a while, Wu Xiaohua gritted her teeth, carried it home all the way, and hid it behind the firewood.
Wu Xiaoding asked, "Ah Da, who did you bring back?" ”
Wu Xiaohua replied: "No one, you are dazzled......"
Hearing that the merman was very fierce, Wu Xiaohua was afraid, so she tied it up with a rope. He turned around and went under the stove to grab the ashes, trying to put a wound on it.
In just half an hour, the arms and tails of the white-scaled shark people showed a gradual growth trend. The moment it opened its eyes suddenly, its blue eyes were filled with a terrifying cold light, which frightened Wu Xiaohua, who sat on the ground with her buttocks, and the ash in her hand shook off the ground.
"I'm not harming you, I'm not harming you...... I want to heal you, I'm not harming you......"
Its wounds were healing little by little, and a crack gradually appeared in the middle of the fish's tail, and the gap grew larger and larger, as if it was about to split in half. Little by little, the scales on its body are softening and discoloring until they merge with the flesh. Its hair also changed from white to brownish-black. It looked very painful, sweating profusely, panting and shivering.
Wu Xiaohua sat in place, not daring to move. For fear that if one is not careful, it will open its bloody mouth and pounce on it to bite its own neck.
At this time, Wu Xiaoding's voice came from outside: "Ah Da, it's dark, why hasn't Daddy come back?" Something can't be wrong, right? Ada, what are you doing in there? ”
"Xiao Ding! Don't come in! ”
Wu Xiaohua got up in a panic, grabbed the door and went out, closed the small door of the stove room, inserted the door bolt, and stopped Wu Xiaoding.
Wu Xiaoding is sensitive by nature, and Wu has not returned for a long time, and an ominous premonition arises in his heart.
Wu Xiaohua looked out the window and said, "What can happen to him?" Maybe it's on the way. I heard that the doctor lived far away...... Anyway, Daddy has money, and if he really can't come back, he can stay in a hotel...... Oops, oops! Forget about business! ”
Wu Xiaohua patted her head, remembered the major events in her life, hurriedly changed into new clothes and shoes, applied grease and powder, pulled her thrush in a bun, dressed neatly, and trimmed a bangs with scissors.
It's already dark outside. The hull of the ship shook, and the footsteps of a man were heard outside.
"Daddy, why did you come back?"
Wu Xiaohua was sitting in front of the mirror and meditating, when she heard the footsteps, she hurriedly put down the scissors and went out to greet her, it turned out to be the guy who was Wenlang.
Wu Xiaohua poked her head out and took a look, no one followed, it seemed that he was the only one coming. There was no sedan chair and no entourage to accompany him, Wu Xiaohua secretly felt that something was wrong, but there seemed to be nothing wrong, so he stopped him outside the door and said, "Young Master Wen, why are you here alone?" Didn't you say to pick me up? What about the sedan chair? You can't let me go back with you, can you? ”
Wen Lang looked at Wu Xiaohua's bright and moving appearance, his eyes lit up, and he replied with a smile: "They walked too slowly, and then they arrived!" I'll take a look at you first, how are you preparing? ”
As he spoke, Wen Lang raised his feet and was about to enter the door.
"I'm all set! You wait outside! ”
Wu Xiaohua stretched out her hand to pick up the door, and stubbornly blocked Wen Lang from letting him in.
Wu Xiaohua is not stupid, she saw through Wen Lang's mind at a glance, she pretended to be calm and said: "My father hasn't come back yet, I have to wait for my father to invite back the doctor and give me a closer look at the illness." I'll be with you after that! ”
"Your Daddy? He's not coming back. ”
Wen Lang smiled coldly, and while she was stunned, she slipped in.
"What's wrong with my daddy? How do you know my daddy won't be coming back? Wu Xiaohua turned around, pointed to the door and said to Wen Lang, "In that case, Young Master Wen, please go back first!" When my daddy comes back, I will be able to go with you. ”
"You want to know? Come here, and I'll tell you. Wen Lang sat down on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes as if he was enjoying it, and said to Wu Xiaoding with squinted eyes: "You, go, pour me some water." ”
Wu Xiaoding picked up the scissors on the table and pretended to be ruthless and said, "Bastard! Get out of here! If you don't get out of here, I'm not going to be kind to you! ”
Wen Lang got up, snatched the scissors, threw them on the bed, poked Wu Xiaoding's chest and said, "Little rabbit cub, uneducated!" That's how you talk to your future brother-in-law?! ”
Wu Xiaoding shouted: "I won't let Ah Da marry you!" Don't try to bully me! ”
Wen Lang was angry, and when he went up, he slapped Wu Xiaoding to the ground and couldn't get up.
"It's against you! Lao Tzu's money was spent in vain, right? Little rabbit, do you know how much money your daddy took from me? Come over to me! ”
As he spoke, Wen Lang dragged Wu Xiaoding up from the ground, dragged him to the door of the stove room, pulled the door bolt, threw Wu Xiaoding into the door, tied the door again, and turned around to press Wu Xiaohua step by step.
"What are you doing?! Gentle! If that's the case for you, I'd rather die than marry!" ”
Wu Xiaohua picked up the scissors on the bed, pointed at Wen Lang, and said, "But don't worry, even if I die, I will pull you up!" ”
Wu Xiaoding kept banging on the door in the stove room, Wen Lang was impatient, stepped forward to grab Wu Xiaohua, pounced, and was stabbed in the arm by scissors. Wen Lang was furious, raised his foot and kicked Wu Xiaohua in the abdomen, Wu Xiaohua exclaimed, fell on the bed, there was a sharp pain in the abdomen, and the scissors also fell off their hands.
Wen Lang took the opportunity to step forward, suppressed Wu Xiaohua, clamped her hands with one hand, lifted her skirt with the other, and pulled a piece of cloth with broken flowers printed inside. Wu Xiaohua was weak and had the upper hand, crying and shouting, unable to resist. A piece of cloth printed with broken flowers was quickly thrown to the ground.
In the stove room, the sound of Wu Xiaoding banging on the door stopped abruptly. He heard a strange sound from behind the firewood, turned his head, and saw a strange woman.
"Wu Xiaohua, Lao Tzu told you that Lao Tzu didn't plan to let you enter the door of my Wen family at all!! A daughter who begs the sea and still wants to enter the door of my Wen family? Phew! You dream! Your father said, as long as you give money, whatever I do! Why didn't your dad come back? Let me tell you, he took Lao Tzu's money, and he doesn't know where to go to live happily! ”
Wen Lang's words made Wu Xiaohua pause her resistance, and she felt a coldness rise from the bottom of her heart and gradually spread.
Taking advantage of the gentle unwinding of the belt of her trousers, Wu Xiaohua quietly broke free with one hand, quietly grabbed the scissors in her hand, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the daughter of the sea man?" The daughter of the seaman...... Kill your dog today! ”
Wen Lang only cared about the movements of his subordinates, and when he just reacted, he felt a sharp object coming towards him, right in the left eye. Before he could react, his right arm was inexplicably cut off by something and fell to the ground. Wu Xiaohua turned her head to look at a severed limb and an ice arrow on the bed, and hurriedly pulled the scissors down in fright.
Blood splattered, Wen Lang screamed like he lost his mind, and fell on the bed in pain and screamed like a pig.
Wu Xiaohua retreated to the door, and the door of the stove room had been opened at some point. Wu Xiaoding rushed out of the stove room shirtless, followed by a woman with snow-white skin and a disheveled head. Her eyes are large and bright, her eyebrows are like distant daisies, the bridge of her nose is straight, and her lips are full, like a fairy walking out of a painting. She held an ice crossbow in her hand, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed to evaporate, and disappeared without a trace. She was wearing Wu Xiaoding's green cloth shirt, revealing a pair of white and slender legs under the wide shirt, and there were some water droplets hanging on her slender feet.
Wu Xiaoding only had one pair of pants to wear on his body, so he had to pick up the pants that Wu Xiaohua had just changed on the bench, and turned around and threw them to the woman.
The woman glanced at the pants on Wu Xiaoding's body, pulled open the waist of the pants, jumped in quickly, and as soon as she let go, the pants fell down again. Wu Xiaoding couldn't help biting her lip and snickering, and shyly took the belt of her trousers and handed it to her. She took the belt of her trousers, pouted slightly, lifted her pants, and expertly fastened them.
Wu Xiaohua rushed to the door of the stove room and took a look, there was a puddle of water on the ground, and the white-scaled shark was gone. She understood something instantly, turned to the woman, and said, "Go away!" I hurt this bastard, I was caught by their family, and I was going to be killed! You go quickly, take me with you, I thank you! ”
The woman shook her head as if she didn't understand.
There was a faint sound of someone talking outside, and the woman had excellent hearing, so she went out, and sure enough, she saw a group of people outside the far beach walking towards this side. So, he turned back and pulled Wu Xiaohua and Wu Xiaoding to go out.
"It's too late! You guys go! Settle down and go wherever you want! Come on! Leave me alone! ”
Walking to the door, Wu Xiaohua also saw the group of people, who were the descendants of the Wen family.
Wu Xiaohua broke free and said with tears in her eyes: "You go!" Hurry up...... I'm going to ...... here Wait for my dad to come back...... Ask for clarification......"
"But Daddy, that man said that Daddy won't come back. Ah, let's go together! Wu Xiaoding grabbed Wu Xiaohua's hand tightly.
"Wait a minute!"
As soon as she walked two steps away, Wu Xiaohua turned back and had to take the jewelry box before leaving.
When the Wen family got on board, the three of them had just left on their front feet and hid behind the rocks.
Wu Xiaoding didn't understand, why didn't he hurry up and run away at this moment, but hid here to peep at the other party?
Hearing the screams in the cabin, the Wen family rushed into Wu Xiaohua's house, and at this moment, the woman rushed to the place where the Wen family's carriage stopped and took the carriage away.
As the carriage approached, the woman sat on it, put the reins in her mouth and bit it, and spread her arms, ready to greet the siblings. Without waiting for the carriage to stop, the woman grabbed one and dragged them into the carriage with a hard tug. The woman glanced back, grabbed the reins, and whipped away.
When the Wen family chased it out, the carriage had already run away.
Wen Lang lay on the back of his subordinates, his face was pale, he was sweating profusely, and he said weakly: "Wu Xiaohua...... At the ends of the earth, I'm going to pick her skin ...... too."
On the bumpy carriage, Wu Xiaohua had mixed feelings in her heart, and she had mixed tastes.
There was more than one carriage of the Wen family, and soon, a large number of people and horses were chasing after them from the rear.
The woman was holding back the sweat all over, and at the critical moment, she couldn't relax at all.
"Trains?"
Not far away, there was the sound of the train's whistle, and Wu Xiaohua had a flash of inspiration, as if she saw hope, and immediately became energetic.
The lights on the platform were dim and the crowd was bustling. The three abandoned the carriage and hid in the crowd, successfully avoiding the pursuit of the Wen family.
The train from Nanhai to Shanghai will depart in half an hour.
Wu Xiaohua regretted using up the money, so she talked for a long time, and exchanged the pair of gold earrings on her ears for two tickets to avoid being driven off the train by the conductor.
The three of them were crowded into two seats, Wu Xiaoding watched the conductor take away the pair of gold pendants, sensed Wu Xiaohua's sentimentality, and gently held her hand.
"There will be later." Wu Xiaohua pretended to smile, looked at Wu Xiaoding, and turned her face sadly.
The moment the train started, Wu Xiaohua didn't know what it was like to feel in her heart, she was reluctant to give up this place, and she was afraid of the unknown ahead. Her bright red wedding dress was particularly conspicuous, her messy hair, and her face was covered with blood, and she looked like she had just escaped. The old-fashioned point fingers at it, and the advanced thinkers cast admiring glances at it.
"Do you have a name?"
"Can you speak?"
Sitting in the seat, Wu Xiaohua arranged her hair bun and asked the woman questions.
"Bai Fan."
The woman turned her face and replied simply.
"Bai Fan? So you can talk? I thought he was dumb...... Do you remember, how did you get hurt? You...... Where are you there, have you ever seen a person named Shen Fusheng? ”
Bai Fan shook her head, how could she know Shen Fusheng's name?
Wu Xiaohua continued: "My surname is Wu, my name is Xiaohua, and this is my name Xiaoding. Where's your Daddy and Auntie? Are you going to go to them in the future? ”
Bai Fan shook his head, not knowing what he meant.
After all, it's something in the sea, and I probably don't know how to speak human words. Wu Xiaohua sighed secretly, wanting to leave this burden, and didn't want to communicate with her more at this moment.
The sun rises and the night is bright, a new day, a new life, written under the rolling wheels......
