Where have they been?

I suddenly felt panic and wanted to get up and search everywhere, but my body didn't listen to my orders at all. Even after this rush, my breathing became even more difficult. I had no sense of it, and countless needle-like pains came from my ankles and calf, which made me moan for a moment.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps next to him.

Are they back?

I turned my eyes anxiously and looked at the woods over there. I heard a rustling sound. The branches and leaves that were originally shaking slightly by the wind began to shake. As I listened, I suddenly felt a little strange.

The footsteps were not one person or two people.

Like - many people!

I held my breath and my chest was so nervous that my heart was about to jump out of my chest. I watched as my hands pushed aside the thick branches and leaves, and several people walked out of the dense forest.

When I saw those people clearly, my face turned pale immediately.

It was a group of men dressed strangely. They were said to be weird, but in fact they looked more like they were ragged. Now it was winter, but their clothes were almost impossible to match, and they seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time. The true nature of the clothes was no longer visible. Even those people were half dark and half dirty and had not washed. They could hardly see their original appearance. They only felt that their faces were ferocious, and there were even one or two people with eyes or noses, as if the evil ghosts ran out of hell in the storybook.

I was so scared that my breath, which was already very difficult, was suffocated.

Who are they?

Could it be that the people on this island? Or—

Before I could think about it, those people had already seen me at first sight, and a few surprises jumped over: "Look, there is still someone here!"

besides……?

I looked at them in horror, and they had surrounded me. A bad body odor suddenly came, making me frown slightly. They had seen my calves. There was a thin man like a thin monkey squatted down and looked at him, and immediately said: "I have been touched by the mother of Hai, and it seems that she is going to take her soul away."

“…”

"Then don't worry about her. It's enough to have those two, let's go."

One of them had a shortage of eyes and was particularly tall and burly. After saying that, he waved his hand and told everyone to leave.

I was suddenly a little anxious - they said "those two". Did they capture Liu Qinghan and Han Zitong? These people looked ferocious and didn't look like fishermen. Could it be that they were the pirates they met before?

If this is the case, then they will be in danger!

I was so anxious that I wanted to get up, but no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't use any strength, but there was a black shadow covering me.

When I looked up, I saw that the man with a vulgar appearance and a thin monkey stood in front of me and looked at me, with a smile that was not good on his face. The people had already walked to the edge of the woods. The burly man turned around and said, "Monkey, what are you doing? Why don't you leave quickly?"

"Second brother, this woman looks great."

After saying that, he reached out and twisted away the messy long hair on my face.

There were even some indescribable sticky things and strange smells on his fingers. When he touched them, it was like a toad lying on his face. I immediately turned my head away in discomfort.

But at this time, the few people walked back and looked down at me. A lewd smile appeared in their turbid eyes.

“It is indeed—”

"The monkey didn't tell me, but I haven't found it yet."

"It's been a long time since we got ashore."

As the people were talking, they heard a few snaps. The burly man raised his palm-shaped slap as big as a palm-leaf fan and slapped them a few times, cursing: "Are you crazy thinking about women? You dare to even think about this? She is the one who was touched by the Mother Hai."

“…”

"Do you dare to touch the person you have touched by Mother Hai?"

After he said this, the people showed a look of cowardice again.

I was originally anxious and panicked, but when I heard them say this, I probably understood that these people may be really pirates. People living on the sea will have awe of some fish and beasts in the sea. The sea mother they said should be the peach blossom fish that stinged me. Maybe they were afraid that they would also be poisoned, so they dared not touch me casually.

But the man named "Monkey" obviously had no such concern. He looked at me and was a little unwilling. His eyes rolled, and then he walked to the burly man and whispered: "Second brother, why don't you understand? The ship we bombed that day was an official ship."

“So what?”

"Isn't the boss also afraid that the government officials will come to us, so we will search everywhere on this Seven Seas Island, so we will definitely get rid of all the living."

"This woman was touched by the Mother of Hai and was about to die."

"I don't mean that," he climbed the man's shoulder and said, "The man we just caught was probably a high-ranking official, and that woman. She said she was the daughter of King Jiangxia, and that was a golden branch and jade leaf! Think about it, can this woman be with them have a lower status?"

When the burly man heard this, his thick black eyebrows immediately frowned.

"If we take them..."

His voice was getting lower and lower, and I could hardly hear it, but I saw a greedy light flashing in the eyes of the burly man.

After a while, he turned to look at the "monkey" and said, "Is it work?"

"What kind of business we do is work? Not the same is true."

The two of them looked at each other and immediately showed a greedy and cunning smile.

Then the burly man glanced at me again, then waved his hand and said, "Take this woman on the boat!"

"yes!"

The people around him agreed, and a few people walked up and picked me up with all their strength.

I just felt that my body was always numb and indifferent, but when they touched it, the place I touched immediately seemed to have a knife cut needle, which made me scream in pain. But when I opened my mouth wide, a sound was released, and only tears flowed down from the corners of my eyes.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! After a while, I was carried by them and walked through the woods and came to the beach.

The sea water was blue, and countless stars were reflected by the sunlight, but the sunlight made the wound on my ankle even more stinging. I curled up and struggled in pain, but they suppressed it with force. When I turned my head, I saw several small boats parked on the beach, shaking by the waves.

In addition to these people, there were a few people on the boat who were dressed up like them. I could see Han Zitong sitting on one of the boats at a glance, but she tied her hands behind her back and couldn't move. She was looking at me with wide eyes.

"Yue Qingying!"

She hurriedly wanted to stand up, but the boat was so swaying that she immediately fell down. A big man next to her held her shoulder and said in a bad voice: "Don't move around, otherwise you will be thrown into the sea!"

She was forced to sit down and could only look at me anxiously. Fortunately, those people carried me onto the ship as well.

As soon as he was put on the boat, Han Zitong immediately moved over and looked down at me with concern: "Are you okay? Have they hurt you?"

I was shaking off the boat, and the sunlight above my head made me almost dizzy. I could only half close my eyes and nodded gently.

At this time, the people around us shouted that in addition to the three of us, there were two pirates on our ship, one on the bow and the other on the stern. They all rowed with their oars and the boat swayed away from the coast and rowed towards the other side of the sea.

Han Zitong was so anxious that she was about to cry: "What should I do if I do this?"

I turned around and found that Liu Qinghan was also lying beside me, but he seemed to have fallen asleep and did not wake up like this.

What's going on? Did those people hurt him? Or did he yesterday-

At this moment, Han Zitong moved down from the edge of the boat and sat next to me. Her skirt was still a little wet. It brought a coolness to my face, which made my originally cramped breathing slightly relieve. Then I saw her bent down and whisper in my ear: "These people are pirates."

“…”

This was not beyond my expectations, and it was confirmed in the conversation between those people just now, but what I was more worried about was the person around me. I looked at him anxiously, and then looked at Han Zitong - what was wrong with him?

Han Zitong looked at my anxious look, but suddenly became silent.

The two pirates only looked at us a few times, and seemed to be unable to be vigilant to three people like us who were unconscious, injured, and had no ability to resist. They only rowed the boat hard, listening to the sound of water constantly gurgling in their ears, and the towering Longji Mountain slowly became farther and disappeared from sight.

When I turned around, I found that Han Zitong had been watching Liu Qinghan in a daze.

The sun shone on the half-cold mask, and the reflected light hit her pale face, and it was trembling slightly with the hull.

After a while, Han Zitong said softly: "He went out for a night and didn't come back. I don't know if something happened to him. Seeing that you have been unconscious, I'm even more afraid that you will never wake up forever. I don't know what to do, so I went to the beach to find him. As a result, as soon as I got to the beach, I saw him fainting on the beach."

“…!”

"It seems that he is having problems with the herbs he eats."

As she said that, she looked at me with a complicated expression and said, "Yesterday, before he applied the medicine to you, he took those herbs. I don't know what it means yet, but now I understand a little."

“…”

"He doesn't know those herbs, because he is afraid they will be poisonous, so he tasted them himself."

“…”

"But, there may be some herb that took too long and he didn't taste it, so he fainted at the beach. I called him for a long time, but he didn't respond."

“…”

When she said this, it seemed a little heavy, and I looked back at the dark face beside me, which was mostly hidden by the mask, and I felt that my heart was almost overwhelmed.

...

The slap yesterday should have been a little heavier.

Be more ruthless!

Looking at my hatred eyes, Han Zitong also fell silent. After a long time, she said softly: "You, don't worry."

"..." I slowly looked back at her.

"I tried his breathing, he was nothing serious, he just fainted."

“…”

At this moment, facing me, she did not have the contempt and hostility she had before. Her clear eyes were filled with complex emotions, as if they were entangled, which made her fall into deep confusion.

After a while, she said again: "I wanted to drag him back, but after just two steps, the pirates came."

As she said that, she looked up with a little fear, looked at the two hideous pirates, and said with some trembling words: "They seem to be taking us to their old nest."

“…”

I don’t know if it was because of my fatigue or confusion, and I stared at the dazzling sunshine above my head. After a while, I closed my eyes with my strength.

I don’t know if the medicine Liu Qinghan applied to me yesterday worked. I was always groggy, but at this time I had a very clear idea - whether it was a pirate or someone else, it would be better to take us away from this deserted island than to stay there and wait for death.

Moreover, from the meaning of the "monkey", I guess they might want to exchange money for us three noble people. After all, for them, wealth is the ultimate pursuit.

In other words, we have at least one chance and it is possible to go back.

Thinking of this, I opened my eyes again and looked at the silent, dark face beside me. When he was unconscious, he seemed particularly quiet and no longer as cold as before. I even found a few shadows from the time when he was in Jixiang Village. At that time, he was like this every night, lying quietly on the floor beside the bed. The moonlight shone into the room through the window edges, and a faint, almost gentle light on his face made him sleeping more and more gentle, as if he was trapped in the most beautiful dream.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I thought, raised my head and looked at the stern of the boat. The hideous pirate looked at us, smiled grimly, and slid the oar more quickly.

Maybe...it's just a dream.

|

After that, I spent the feeling of wandering, as if rootless duckweed was floating. Sometimes I could hear the sound of water suddenly, and even one or two salty sea water fell on my face. When I heard the pirates talking loudly and laugh wildly, I could also hear the helpless sighs made by Han Zitong from time to time.

I don’t know how long it took, among those sounds, I heard a familiar, low voice.

"Um--"

As if a ray of light suddenly popped into the dark night, I opened my eyes suddenly and saw the eyes that were close to me. After trembling slightly, I slowly opened them.

His eyes seemed a little confused, with a little bit of chaos in the dream. When he looked at me, he remained motionless for a while.

"you--"

“…”

"You're here."

“…”

I looked at him, my lips trembled, trying to say something, but all the impulses could not be formed in my throat, while Han Zitong behind me gasped: "Are you awake?!"

At this time, the two pirates at the bow and stern of the boat immediately looked over.

Liu Qinghan still looked at me blankly, and there seemed to be a fog in front of him, which made him look a little confused.

At this moment, a wave hit, and the hull suddenly bumped, making him shake. The fog in his eyes dissipated, and his eyes immediately became clear and sharp.

He looked at me: "You—"

“…”

But I still couldn't say a word, just looked at him.

The next moment, he was about to sit up immediately, but as soon as he moved, he realized that his hands and feet were tied and could not move at all. He was shocked and his face changed drastically. He looked up at the surroundings. When he looked at the two hideous pirates and this not-so-spacious boat, he was stunned for a moment.

He said: "This is-"

"Stupid boy, don't move!"

The pirate at the stern of the boat rowed the boat and said, "If we dare to move around, we will throw these two women into the sea. Let me tell you, there are many sand fish here, and even if they swallow it in one bite, they will not be enough to get stuck in their teeth!"

He had not fully understood the situation in front of him, but he was shocked by this sentence first.

I felt his breathing become more rapid, his chest was fluctuating violently, and even his heartbeat seemed to be coming to my chest, but I could only look at him weakly, looking at the hasty expressions flashing across his pale face. After a while, he suddenly realized something and said, "You are the pirates who attacked us that day?"

"Hehe, boy, you're very smart."

"What are you going to do?"

"do what?"

The two pirates looked at each other and laughed: "You three are not ordinary people, they should be worth a lot of money."

Liu Qinghan's brows immediately frowned.

"Don't be afraid, we don't ask for anything else, we just ask for money." The man said, and suddenly hesitated again: "But if you dare to do something random, we will be welcome!"

After saying that, he swung the oar in his hand and hit Liu Qinghan hard on one side of the shoulder. He heard him screaming and struggled in pain. The pirate put down the oar and walked over, tied the rope that had been worn a little loosely by him on the edge of the boat.

"Hmph, it's not that easy to run!"

After saying that, he kicked Liu Qinghan hard in the lower abdomen, and then he sat back to the stern of the boat.

Liu Qinghan curled up by his two blows, lowered his head deeply, only to see his shoulders twitching. I looked at him anxiously, but I couldn't do anything. Han Zitong beside him was already scared by this and didn't dare to move.

He hesitated and froze there, and after a while, he endured the severe pain.

When I looked up at me, I saw that the corners of his eyes were red.

After a while, he said to me, "Are you okay?"

“…”

I only looked at him.

At this time, the pirates on the boats not far away heard the movements on our side, and someone asked loudly: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, that kid wakes up and wants to run away."

"Look tighter."

"Don't worry."

The pirate at the stern of the boat said, glaring at us again, then raised his head and was about to continue rowing forward, but when he looked up, his face was stunned, as if he had seen something.

"that--"

The pirate at the bow of the ship was originally sitting at us, and when he saw him like this, he looked back.

All three of us realized something. Liu Qinghan and Han Zitong quickly turned their heads, and I tried my best to support my neck. I saw a huge ship appearing in the vast sea in front of the vast sea, like a fairy mountain on the sea, revealing a trace of outline in the confusion of water mist, and faintly concealing its figure.

When the two pirates saw the sea ship far away, they were stunned for a moment.
