Pampering the sea

After a day of fishing, when it was almost evening, they returned to the shore. Minmin pulled Xin Yue towards her as if remembering something, and said to her, "Sister, have you seen a small sky-blue shell that looks like a flower?"

Xin Yue shook his head.

Minmin asked Xin Yue again, "I've searched many places, did I end up on the beach I went to this morning, sister, can you go and find it with me?"

then went.After a while, I found the small blue shells there.

"Why do you value this shell so much?" Xin Yue asked.

"This is not an ordinary shell. This is a gift from Uncle Dada. Uncle Dada said that if one day I bring this shell to him, he will promise me one thing, as long as he Anything can be done.”

"Where did you go to find him?"

Minmin replied: "When Uncle Dada left here, he said that we will meet again if we are destined."

Xin Yue smiled: "I was fooled by you, and you believe it too, silly boy."

At this time, it was almost dusk, the sea and the sky were the same color, and the gorgeous golden light covered the sky and the earth.Fishing boats in twos and threes all docked.

Xin Yue was walking back holding Min Min's hand, when a voice suddenly came from behind: "Girl, is this Jinsha Bay?"

Xin Yue turned her head and gave a faint "hmm", a trace of strange emotion flashed across her calm eyes when she saw the face of the visitor, and she raised her chin sideways to look at him.

The man was dressed as a businessman, and his clothes were many times better than those of the local fishermen. He looked at Xin Yue and opened his mouth: "Sister-in-law, you are indeed here."

Her voice was a little cold: "Don't call me sister-in-law."

The person who came was Chu Zhiling's confidant Chu Yan.Chu Yan politely said to Xin Yue: "Sister-in-law, go back to the boat with my younger brother. Brother has been looking for you for a long time."

These words sounded like a threat to Xin Yue's ears, she raised her lips disdainfully: "What if I don't?"

Chu Yan's complexion became a little dull: "Brother is sometimes not a very patient person, sister-in-law, you should be more obedient."

Xin Yue glanced at Chu Yan, took Minmin's hand and walked back, leaving Chu Yan far behind.

"Sister, that brother calls you sister-in-law, sister, are you married?"

"No."

"Sister, that brother looks a bit fierce, not as gentle as brother Xia Zhi, you don't like him very much, right?"

Xin Yue suddenly squatted down, put his hand on Minmin's shoulder, and said solemnly: "That brother just now is a pirate."

Minmin exclaimed: "The pirates are here?!"

"If you don't want to die, then we have to get out of here, you know?"

"But Father and Mother..."

"Leave together." Xin Yue squatted down and waved his hands: "Quick, I'll carry you back."

On the sea of ​​gold and broken jade, the man on the huge ship looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and an eagle flew on his shoulder, overlooking the surroundings.The sea breeze was strong, and the black feathers of the goshawk fluttered and danced with the man's navy blue robe.

"Big brother."

When a call came, the man turned his head, his slightly narrowed eyes were weakened by the soft sunlight. He looked down at the person and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

The man's stalwart body made the caller feel a strong sense of oppression. He bowed his head respectfully: "Brother Chu Yan sent someone to report that my sister-in-law was found, and she is in Jinsha Bay."

The setting sun stretched Chu Zhiling's shadow very long, the huge sail was surging like sea water, his handsome face was bright and dark from time to time, and the brilliance between his eyebrows was uncertain.

"Finally found it?"

Chu Zhiling slowly made a smile, his cruel and bloodthirsty expression was faded by the gradually darkening sunset, the goshawk on his shoulder made a few weird calls for some reason, and then flapped its wings and flew away.

The night slowly sank.

"Why are we leaving?"

In the small fishing village of Jinsha Bay, a slightly louder inquiry came out.

Xin Yue looked helplessly at the two stubborn peasants in front of him who couldn't do ideological work, and said again: "Brother Zhang, Sister Zhang, the pirates are coming, if you don't leave, you will suffer."

Brother Zhang stood up and said: "We have already taken some precautions, prepared hoes, big stones, and made a lot of bows and arrows, so we are not afraid."

"Yeah, although our place is a bit behind, we have gained some experience in fighting pirates, and our masters can still protect us." Sister Zhang smiled reassuringly, "I was so scared yesterday. You guys. Today I heard that Mr. Liu Xiang ran away, as long as it’s not him, those little pirates don’t have to be afraid.”

Xin Yue frowned: "What if it's Chu Zhiling?"

"Chu Zhiling won't come to our place, and the girl he wants is not here. I heard people say today that Chu Zhiling never led anyone to plunder a village, at most he let his men rob merchant ships at sea, Because he did not kill indiscriminately, many people followed him."

Xin Yue gritted his teeth and was about to speak when a voice came from behind: "Aren't you going to leave?"

Xia Chuan, dressed in plain clothes and with untied long hair, leaned lazily at the door, and the rising moonlight shone on his ivory-white neck.

He turned his head sideways, his eyes flashed: "Don't do stupid things." He said in Japanese, the air was a little messy and misty by the sea breeze, but his voice was clear and clear.

Xin Yue was stunned, silent for a moment, clenched his fists, and said calmly, "I'll give it a try."

"Nonsense." Xia Chuan even scolded people in a soft voice, without a trace of annoyance. He looked up at the sky, letting the moonlight shine on his body, his lips were the color of Bin Yurui under the moonlight, "You confess to them that you are the woman Chu Zhiling is looking for, and that you will attract Chu Zhiling's gang and cause unforeseen disasters to the village. Do you think they will go with you?" He shook his head and smiled, " Naive, if I were them, the first thing I would do after hearing what you said was not to flee, but," Xia Chuan rolled his eyes slightly, "tie you up."

Xin Yue also said in Japanese: "I know there is such a possibility."

"Then you are still like this?" Xia Chuan smiled softly, his tall nose cast a shadow on his delicate face, "You don't have such high expectations for human nature, do you? These fishermen are simple but still human, even if their The scheming is not as good as that of people in other places, but self-protection can be done without hesitation. Why do you think they won't tie you up and hand you over to Chu Zhiling? Why do you think they are willing to go with you? You left your hometown instead of exposing you? Even relatives can betray and rebel without hesitation, let alone you as a foreigner."

What he said was sharp, but no one could find anything to refute.

The hair on his forehead was blown up by the wind, Xia Chuan walked towards Xin Yue: "Let's go, or it will be too late. I have a hunch that the pirates are about to come in."
