Chapter 241: Take-in
Lu Youkang has allies to help, and he has made preparations in advance. He made cicadas to attract praying mantises, and his allies made yellow finches.
Flanking back and forth, he sank the ship that attacked him.
His ship was also wrecked, and he boarded a friendly ship that had come to his aid.
They left a boat behind, but there were too many bodies overboard, and the blood from the corpses attracted the sharks again.
The boat left behind rummaged in the sea, probably fishing for white peonies.
Lu Youkang didn't stay, and White Peony didn't mention him.
I drove the dive boat out of the water, to a safe place to rise to the surface, and sailed from the surface to return to the place of the incident.
The salvage ship has stopped working, and it has gone away, Bai Peony woke up, I asked her if she wanted to chase the salvage boat, and she should be able to find Lu Youkang by following it.
Bai Peony shook her head, saying that she was tired and wanted to find a solid place to rest, and also let the newborn girl rest.
I took her to Treasure Island and told the people on the island that she was a survivor who had been rescued from a shipwreck.
The person who came forward was the guard Jia, and I still haven't shown up.
The mother and daughter of White Peony stayed on Treasure Island for confinement, and I asked the guard Jia to find an experienced aunt to take care of them.
The white peony has a good body, and I helped me during the birth, and I didn't suffer any crimes, and my complexion was much better after a few days of recuperation.
When she is well and emotionally stable, I will talk to her.
Bai Peony is a distinguished guest, and the guards Jia and Wen Mian are polite and respectful to her, and the place where she lives is a small courtyard with a single house.
Not long after it was built, it belongs to the accommodation area of the resort.
Xiaojiao chose for her, and the white peony lived very comfortably.
She was out of confinement, and we sat down for a meal.
Her daughter is very well-behaved and quiet, and she is a healthy and beautiful baby.
The child's name was chosen by Lu Youkang a long time ago, called Lu Yiping, which means a lifetime of peace.
When I heard the name, it sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen or heard it.
But there are too many people in the world who have the same name, and this is not a big deal.
The white peony gave the child a milk name, called Zhuzhu.
I was curious and asked, why is it called Zhuzhu?
She smiled and said that this girl was born at the bottom of the sea, the pearl of the sea, so it is called Zhuzhu.
"Good name." I looked at the white and chubby little baby girl, round pearls and white rice balls, which are very suitable for her.
"Ann...... Benefactor. ”
"Huh? Don't call me that. I interrupted Bai Peony, "We're old acquaintances, just call me by my name." ”
"No, you're older than me, I'll call you Sister An, okay?"
The white peony is no longer the same as before, people have become quiet and silent, and the sharp arrogance has disappeared.
"Of course."
"I haven't thanked you properly." She picked up her teacup and toasted me with tea.
She kept calling herself 'I' and even changed her name.
"I really deserve it." I toasted a cup of tea and accepted her thanks.
This made her much easier, and it was not a good feeling to carry a debt of affection.
"Sister Ann still hasn't changed." Bai Peony smiled, this was the first time she smiled since she gave birth to the confinement period.
"The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change."
"No, people change." Her smile was short-lived, and a faint cloud of melancholy hung over her face again.
"It's growth for you young people, and I've long been stereotyped."
"Growth? Maybe......"
She turned her head to look at the child in the cradle, which had been made by a whale and was a small boat with carved patterns of fish and sea creatures such as turtles.
"Sister An, there are some things that I have no one else to talk to."
"You can tell me."
There have been changes in the Jiushuang Kingdom, and White Peony, the once very favored county lord, has not only been hunted down and killed, but also ignored by the royal family.
In the past, the halos on her and Lu Youkang's heads were given by the family, and once they lost their family backing, they were not even as good as ordinary people.
Because the darkness that was suppressed by the aura in the past will fight back wildly.
So they had to hide in XZ, some people in Jiushuang wanted her to die, and some people in the martial arts wanted Lu Youkang to die.
Marriage is a turning point in their lives, a turning point from light to darkness.
The life of fugitives tempers people's hearts, and the two who have lost their halo must face the cruel reality.
The white peony feels full of love and water, as long as it is with the person you love, you can hide in the mountains and eat wild vegetables.
She's not interested in power, someone wants to kill her, just hide.
But Lu Youkang thinks differently from her.
He wants revenge, finds out the truth, and restores the former glory of the Lu family.
Bai Peony naturally supports him, as long as he wants to do something, she is willing to help him.
She sent Ah Zhao back to Jiushuang Kingdom, took out all her private money, handed it over to Lu Youkang, and helped him achieve his career.
The poison in Lu Youkang was also the way she sent Ah Zhao out to seek medical advice, and by chance she was able to get rid of the poison.
The folk old man has a strange temper, how Ah Zhao asks and how much money he pays, the old man can't be a doctor.
Bai Peony risked being killed to go out of the mountain, personally went to kneel and kowtow to Lao Langzhong, knelt in his yard for seven days, and fainted several times in the middle.
Ah Zhao has been taking care of her, and has persuaded her to give up, but she just refuses.
In the end, Lao Langzhong was moved by her and took action to detoxify Lu Youkang.
Lu Youkang woke up and just wanted to take revenge and reorganize the Wulin League.
If you want to say that he has changed his mind, that's nothing, it's just that Bai Peony has less and less time to talk to him, and there are not many opportunities for the two of them to meet.
She understood Lu Youkang, because he was planning day and night, looking for Old Man Lu's old friends and martial arts people who were still loyal to the Lu family.
But at the same time, she was afraid, feeling that Lu Youkang had changed into a different person, afraid that he would go to extremes.
Before Bai Peony fell into the water from the boat, Lu Youkang had a chance to hold her, but that meant that the two of them had to fall into the water at the same time.
Lu Youkang didn't stretch out his hand, and watched her fall off the boat with a sad look in his eyes.
She thought she was going to die, but she was sorry for her unborn child.
"I know he has me in his heart, but now he needs to find the treasure and revive the Wulin League."
Yes, Lu Youkang left a boat to fish for people, so he must have her in his heart.
But he didn't stay behind to catch his wife and children together, but hurried to hunt for treasures, and he was indeed more anxious to get the treasure.
Between the words of White Peony, there was no resentment towards Lu Youkang, but he was a little lost.
She is desperate for love, but this has not changed, when she wanted to marry Lu Youkang, she was also determined to the extent that she would rather break with her family.
What Lu Youkang is carrying, I also know that he has a good psychological quality if he doesn't collapse.
"You live here with peace of mind, and when he comes back from the treasure hunt, I will send someone to send you ashore."
"Sister An, I... I don't know how to thank you, I..."
"You have already thanked you, you don't need to thank you again, but the money for food, drink, and accommodation on the island for the two of you, when Lu Youkang becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance, remember to pay me."
"Okay." White Peony smiled with relief.
She used to have money, and I saved her and helped her, and she paid me a lot.
Now that all her money has been given to Lu Youkang, she has no way to use the money to express her gratitude, so she is inevitably nervous and embarrassed.
Besides, how much is the right amount of life-saving kindness?
She can't take it out if it's more, and it's better not to have less.
Anyway, it's good that she remembers this love in her heart, and she is willing to repay the best, and she is not willing to pull it down.
A symbolic cost of living fee is charged, and she can live and eat with peace of mind.
