Hearing my question, his shoulders stiffened slightly, as if he had thought of some uneasy memories, and even his face turned paler.

After pausing, he said, "Pirate."

"What?!"

"Pirates." He looked at me and said word by word: "We encountered a pirate attack."

“…”

I didn't speak immediately, but pondered for a while, then raised my head and looked at him, his eyes flashing. He met my smiley look, frowned slightly, and said, "What? Do you think I was cheating on you when I met a pirate?"

I curled the corners of my lips and said, "Zhoushan Navy, won't be beaten like this by pirates, right? Even the prefect of Yangzhou can't be kept?"

He was shocked and widened his eyes: "How do you know that we are going to Zhoushan?"

“…”

He looked at me in surprise, but I was just faint and didn't say anything. In the silence of the two, he slowly understood that they all followed Yan Qinghan to sea, and Yan Qinghan's map was taken from me, more or less, I would have more clues than them. So he seemed to chuckled and no longer concealed: "That's right, we originally planned to stay in Zhoushan for a while and then continue to move forward."

"Originally planned? You didn't-"

"Yes, we didn't reach Zhoushan, we encountered a storm halfway."

"Storm!" I was shocked. Did we encounter that storm just like us?

"So, we also deviated from the course. As a result, we didn't know which water we were in, and we met those pirates."

I frowned - they also met pirates. Was it the group of pirates who attacked Yan Qinghan and the others?

However, if we count this way, we will attack Yan Qinghan and then find Liu Qinghan's ship. The time between them is too short, and the group of pirates is a little too vicious.

I asked, "So, you fight and then, your fleet is destroyed?"

"Well. They probably thought our ship was a merchant ship, so they wanted to rob. We had already set sail in a hurry and planned to go to Zhoushan to meet with the navy. There were not many weapons on the ship, so--"

Speaking of this, he could not help but feel a little upset, but now that things have come to this, it would be useless to say more.

After all, he is still a civil servant and is completely blind in sea affairs. As for Wen Fengxi, as the saying goes, "Apart from each other is like a mountain, even in the same industry and in different fields, he is simply a layman. A general like him is probably confused when he is placed on the sea."

Pei Yuanhao sent them to the sea, probably because they went deep into Xichuan and learned more about Yan Qinghan's situation. Moreover, if they could really meet with Zhoushan Navy, they should still be a powerful help, but they didn't expect such an accident to happen halfway.

But no matter what, I can breathe a sigh of relief first.

Li'er, she is not on the boat.

As long as Li Er has not gone to sea and has not been involved in these dangers, no matter how the situation develops, I will not be so nervous.

After all, some things are artificial.

Liu Qinghan did not indulge in the depression for too long. After resting for a while, he finally recovered a little bit of energy, drank some water, and wanted to try to stand up.

As soon as he stretched out his hand to support the ground, I hurried over and supported him.

His arms were still a little strong, but because the clothes on his body were not dry, he was wearing the wet clothes on his body, and when the sea breeze was blown, I deeply felt the bone-broken coldness, which was very uncomfortable. I held him and whispered: "Don't move for now."

He looked up at me, and I helped him sit down, ran to the other side to light a bonfire to the leftover fire, and then came over to help him up to the fire.

He hesitated: "If you wet your clothes, you will catch a cold."

I looked down and didn't look at him, but said lightly: "You take care of yourself first."

“…”

He was silent for a moment, and said nothing more, and slowly stood up with my arms. I could feel that he did not press the weight of his body on me, but tried his best to support himself. Therefore, he had difficulty walking these steps. There were even several times when I felt his feet become weak and almost fell down.

I gritted my teeth, reached out to wrap my hand around his waist, and supported him with all my strength.

His rapid breathing and my disordered breathing were almost tangled together, but the two of them did not look at each other or say a word from beginning to end.

He wouldn't know what I remembered at this moment.

The same is true. The salty and fishy air, the chilling wind and the warm sunshine, everything makes people feel that the years are quiet. He supports me, who is limp and walks step by step in his simple little yard.

I wonder if God is playing an interesting game. When I fell into the water and was saved by him, I was carefully taken care of by him. After so many years, everything seemed to be repeated again as if it were a copy. But this time, I saved him, I fed him water and food, and I helped him take weak steps.

But he will never rely on me with full trust as I had to rely on him.

Finally, he walked to the bonfire and fell down like he was almost exhausted.

I ignored him and added some firewood to the fire.

He looked around and said, "This island - how long have you been here? What's the environment nearby?"

"We have only been here for two days," I said, "There should be no big, fierce beasts nearby, but there are thorns everywhere. Zitong and I planned to drive a road up the mountain to see what was on the other side of the island. But when we saw you, we didn't move forward."

When he heard this, he hurriedly said, "When I have a rest, I will go with you."

I looked up at him in the fire and smiled faintly: "Now there are only three of us on the island, so of course we have to be together."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He looked at my smile like this, as if he understood something, and smiled faintly.

That smile, indescribable clarity, and confusion.

Although I told Han Zitong all possible ways to be rescued before, which made her feel relaxed, what I didn't tell her was that all the things I said were only one percent possibility in reality. More possibilities were that everyone thought we had been buried at the bottom of the sea and would not come to look for it. Even if we came to look for it, the vast sea, how much chance would they have to go to this waters and this island?

The greater possibility is that we will live on this island, relying on each other.

But now, it has become a dependence between three people.

|

After saving Liu Qinghan, we did not go up the mountain as planned, but continued to stay on the beach. First, we wanted him to take care of his body, and second, we also needed more food.

However, this time when I was catching fish, I was almost stinged by the peach blossom fish swimming to the shallows several times. Fortunately, his eyes were bright, and he immediately reminded me as soon as he saw it, and he escaped.

In the evening, Liu Qinghan ate another fish and his face looked much better.

But when I saw his eyelids drooping, I knew that his physical strength had not recovered. I had been chatting with me for so long and was already very tired. So I helped him lie down and said, "You can rest for a while."

"Really, I'm sorry."

"Don't say this at this time. You should feel better tomorrow."

"Thank you."

He said, slowly closing his eyes, and then fell asleep quietly, leaving only the light and shadows of swaying flames on his face.

I only looked at his peaceful sleeping face, then turned my head away, and was about to go back to Han Zitong, but when I turned my head, I saw her standing not far from us. A cluster of thick branches and leaves blocked her body, revealing her frown and deep eyes, looking at us with a hint of coldness.

I walked over and said, "Is the anger gone?"

When she heard this, the coldness immediately turned into anger and glared at me fiercely.

I said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether it disappears or not. Just know if you come back. Are you hungry? Eat something."

After saying that, she was about to turn around and pick up the grilled fish wrapped in banana leaves and bake by the fire, and turn around and hand it to her, but she didn't reach out to pick it up, but still stared at me: "You said you have been a fisherman, so there is always a fisherman, right?"

“…”

"You are the eldest lady of the Yan family. Who taught you how to catch fish?"

“…”

"Since you can't forget it, why don't you tell him? What's the point of being so flirting with you two?"

I looked up at her.

Maybe I was a little angry for a moment, and I forgot to ask her back, "What does it mean to be flirting with me?" and only sneered: "I will not tell him, I don't have to worry about it."

She also sneered: "Hey, I'll say less. You can't forget it, but others have forgotten it. Even if you tell him, he won't believe it, right?"

I looked back and saw that the person's clothes were not dry yet. Because they were baked by the fire, they were a little chilled. They curled up next to the fire, trembling slightly, and seemed to be sleeping uneasy. I didn't say anything, but walked past her and went a little far away from the person, then turned around and said, "What do you want to say?"

Han Zitong said viciously: "Do you suspect my sister?"

“It doesn’t matter.”

"Or are you just doubting Yuan Xiu?"

“…”

This sentence was like cold sea water, rushing towards me, and my breathing was suffocated.

She was still feeling indifferent and gritted her teeth and said, "Do you doubt your husband?"

“…”

After the sun set, the temperature on the island began to drop sharply. We used to stay by the bonfire, but now it is far from the fire. The feeling of the wind blowing through my clothes is as if it blows through my skin, making me feel a little trembling.

After a long stalemate, I finally found my breathing consciousness, but my chest seemed to be pressed on a heavy stone. Every breath was so heavy and so difficult. I said with difficulty: "I doubted neither of them, nor anyone else."

She immediately sneered: "Although you still say you don't doubt it? You are simply suspicious of Yuan Xiu, and your sister!"

I looked at her and suddenly laughed.

I only now realize that I have no need to argue with a woman who stands completely from Pei Yuanxiu and Han Ruoshi's position, and I cannot win because there is no fairness, because no matter what, the commanding heights of morality and emotion are there, because - I am the woman who is loved by Pei Yuanxiu.

I, who was loved by him, had already "lose" in front of the woman who loved him.

My smile seemed to anger her.

She walked up to me in two steps, almost facing the tip of my nose, and said viciously: "Are you worthy of him?"

When I looked angry at her, I became more calmer. I breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Han Zitong, I don't want to discuss this with you now, and I don't have to discuss it with you. Do I deserve him? This is the matter between us couples. Before Yuan Xiu asked me this, no one was qualified to ask me, not even his mother or Yao Lao! I don't fight with you, not because I can't fight with you, nor because you love him, but because he loves me, I must owe him, and even owed you-"

Before she finished speaking, she immediately felt like a cat was stepped on her tail: "What did you say!?"

“…”

"What, what I love him, you're talking nonsense!"

I looked at her flushed face and the flashing light in her eyes. Somehow, I seemed to be a little powerless, and I smiled faintly in my heart.

No wonder, facing their sisters makes me feel that it is the most difficult battle to win, not because of anything else, but more because of her, a woman like a child, no matter how much scheming and plotting I have, I can’t use a child, but behind this child, there are other people who are scheming and plotting.

At this time, the panic on her face had not faded, but she seemed to want to hide something, and said in a bad voice: "It's true that someone loves Yuan Xiu, but it's not me. Even if you are blind, you should see that my sister loves him!"

"If you don't have you, if you don't show up-"

“…”

"But, you damn it, not only did you appear, but you also married him. Do you know how sad my sister is and how sad it is?"

"..." I looked at her with a faint expressionless look.

"You know that Yuan Xiu almost turned against my sister for you, but how could you bear to treat him like this?"

"Change against each other?"

When I heard these two words, I immediately frowned.

Pei Yuanxiu and Han Ruoshi almost turned against each other? What's going on?

If it is to turn against me... Han Zitong wanted to kill me as soon as she met, but was later confined to Pei Yuanxiu, it was still on the chassis of their sisters. If it is to turn against me, she and Pei Yuanxiu were to turn against me, how could it be Han Ruoshi?

I asked subconsciously: "What do you mean when you say they almost turned against each other?"
