I couldn't believe my eyes, and looked at her beautiful and familiar smiling face foolishly, and hurriedly wanted to hold her up, but my hands were still weak, so I could only lie on the bed honestly, and said incredibly surprised: "You, why are you - here?"

Instead of answering me immediately, she bent down and helped me up, then leaned on the pillow behind me to make me feel more comfortable. Then she sat on the edge of the bed and said, "I was rescued by them."

"They? Rescue?"

"Oh, you probably don't know yet, that-"

I hurriedly said, "I heard that Yan Qinghan's ship was attacked by pirates and was beaten very hard."

"Well," she nodded, saying, "It was a very powerful fight, even the boat was broken. I fell into the sea during that chaos."

"Ah?! Then you're okay?"

"It's okay." She smiled and nodded: "I just soaked in the sea water, which caused me a little typhoid fever, but I am also a doctor myself and I'll be fine soon."

"Then you say, they rescue you, they mean-"

She looked at me, her eyes flashed a little, and she paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Pirate."

“…”

"Those pirates rescued me."

"..." I gasped.

Those pirates rescued her, that is to say, we are still on the pirate's ship now?!

However, looking at her appearance, she neither seemed to be hurt nor coerced, but was still very free. What's going on? Did the pirates treat her kindly?

As if she saw what I was thinking, she slowly said, "Don't worry, these pirates are not the kind of people who kill, rob, and do everything they want."

"……oh?"

Seeing that I couldn't believe it, she smiled faintly and didn't seem to explain more, but I suddenly remembered that Liu Qinghan and Han Zitong, who fell into the sea with me, where are they?

I hurriedly asked her, and Xue Muhua patted the back of my hand at the right time and said in a comforting tone: "They were both rescued. That Lord Liu, he seemed to have eaten a lot of messy things before and held them in the sea for so long. I gave him an injection, but he is still very weak now and is resting in another room."

"Will he—"

"Don't worry, I'm here, it's okay."

As she said that, she looked at me with a complicated expression and said, "He, he cares about you very much."

“…”

"Both hands were tied like that, and you were rescued from the bottom of the sea... The pirates said that they had never seen him fight so hard, and they were very convinced."

“…”

I didn't say anything, just used my weak hands to slowly tighten the quilt on my body.

Xue Muhua looked at me for a while and seemed to feel something. He didn't say anything more, but said, "Miss Han, I also care about you very much. I told her that you are fine and she was willing to rest."

...

In other words, at least for the moment, all three of us are fine and safe.

I couldn't help but breathe a long sigh.

It was also at this time that I had time to look around.

We are now in a not-so-spacious cabin, and the corners of the walls, window edges, and some broken cabin doors can be seen to have been a few years. Although we have been resting in some places, we cannot cover up the mottled traces left by time.

I asked, "Are we on the boats of those pirates?"

She nodded.

I looked at her: "Then why did you talk to them, uh..."

Seeing that I Wende was a little embarrassed, she smiled and said, "Before, Yan Qinghan's ship was attacked by them, which happened to be the location of my cabin. It was half blown away and I threw me out. I also thought I would die. Who knew that those pirates actually rescued me."

"What about it later?"

"It just so happened that some of their group had dysentery and were almost dead. I think about it, the doctor's parents cannot watch them die, and they saved my life, so they helped them cure them. These people are very loyal and polite to me."

“…”

I sighed softly in my heart.

I vaguely remember that Huang Tianba once said that the reason why he fell in love with Xue Muhua at first sight was because of her compassion for saving the world and the feelings of the doctor's parents. Even after they were separated, they still couldn't forget her after so many years. Although I watched how their marriage was broken, now I can understand how his love was born.

But now, it is useless to say this.

I looked at her fair face with a faint pink face under the candlelight. After thinking for a while, I asked, "Miss Muhua, I heard that you have been with these pirates for a long time. Do you know who they are? Why do they attack us?"

Xue Muhua said: "We have been together for a long time, but although they are polite to me, they are not willing to tell me everything. Just--"

"Just what?"

"When I talked to them, some of the people in this group spoke with the accent of Shu, and some of them looked like people from Yangzhou."

"Oh?!" I was shocked and flicked from the soft pillow: "Really?"

"I have been in Xichuan and I am still very familiar with the Shu accent, and I have also heard Yangzhou dialect, so when they say it, I can hear it."

“…”

I just felt my heart beating.

Looking back at the shock that the giant creature brought to me when I saw this pirate ship appear before, it seemed to be closely linked to some things in my memory, and her words made my guesses more confirmed.

Of course, just the accent of some people is completely incredible.

I continued, "Do you see anything else?"

This time, Xue Muhua did not answer me immediately, but looked at me and said, "Madam, are you investigating something about these pirates?"

I was stunned, and she continued, "I don't know if you have any purpose to go out to sea, but after I was taken on the boat by Wei Zhengbang and others, I also heard something from their words. They seemed to be looking for something in the sea, and that thing seemed to be the one that your mother hid overseas, right?"

I nodded silently.

"You are also here for this?"

"..." I thought about it and did not deny it.

She looked at me for a while, then looked back at the cabin door, as if she was confirming whether there were only two of us here, and then sat closer to me and whispered: "These pirates - actually, I don't think they are ordinary thieves."

"Oh? How do you say it?"

"Ordinary thieves must be robbing their families. Of course, pirates should be robbing past merchant ships. However, I have been on this ship for so long and have not seen them robbing other merchant ships. They sway around this sea every day, saying that they are looking for those merchant ships, but I think they are more like patrols."

"patrol?"

Xue Muhua, who said these two words, probably felt a little ridiculous, and there was a hint of embarrassing smile on his face, and when I listened, I felt it was indeed absurd.

Pirates, patrolling at sea?

This is as fresh as a thief catching a thief.

However, she has been in contact with these pirates for so long. Since she said that, there must be her reason.

I frowned and said, "But why did they rob Yan Qinghan's ship?"

She glanced at me and said, "They are not the ships that robbed Yan Qinghan."

"……What?"

"It's not a robbery," said Xue Muhua: "They just want to hit their ship."

"What?!"

My voice rose a little, and she was shocked when she heard it, and hurriedly waved her hand at me. I immediately closed my mouth. Both of them turned around and looked at it. The cabin door was still closed, and there was no sound of anyone coming outside.

I took a breath and asked her in a low voice: "They are just attacking Yan Qinghan?"

"right."

"Not for money?"

"It doesn't look like them." She said: "After I was rescued by them, I heard those subordinates talking to their leaders, and only talked about casualties and where Yan Qinghan's ship was going, but I didn't mention any money or anything."

"Then, they hit us before-"

"They are going to fight that group of pirates."

"There are two pirates?"

"Yes. I heard that the group that caught you was - what the sea snake's subordinates were very bad. It seems that they have been having festivals on both sides, and they have been fighting for many years. As long as they meet, they will fight."

“…”

"It seems that this time, the sea snake took advantage of their ship's out and took advantage of the loopholes behind their backs and made some messy things. They are about to kill them back now."

"oh……"

This time, my heart beat even harder.

Some things kept thrusting in my mind, as if they were just a layer of lantern paper, and were about to come out.

While I was still a little confused, Xue Muhua continued: "However, this group of people is also very mysterious. I didn't figure out what they are doing and how they became pirates. It's just that although some of them look fierce and evil, they are not bad. They said they will rely on the shore once every six months, which made me more patient. When they next time they dock, they will put me on 6."

I listened and nodded.

I didn't ask where they would go to dock when this kind of sea ban was banned. After all, the identity of "pirates" is different from ordinary merchant ships, so they naturally have their own ways. Even if the pirates really robbed, they still need to go ashore to sell stolen goods. I heard from the tone of the previous pirates who caught us that they also wanted to go ashore to find women and "enjoy".

However, for some reason, when Xue Muhua talked about their behavior, I remembered another person.

Huang Tianba.

When he was the leader of the 72 waters in the South Provinces, although he was also a hero in the green forest, he used another method to punish those thieves who were truly evil and regulate them.

This ship - flying clouds across the sea, and the people on the ship, made me see the shadow of Huang Tianba back then.
