Chapter 972 Mother's Name

Who is the owner of the flying clouds across the sea?

After hearing my question, Xue Muhua did not answer me immediately, but frowned as if she was in confusion. She thought for a while before looking up at me, shook her head gently and said, "He is a very strange person."

"strangeness?"

"I have very little time to talk to him, but I always have a boat and I have a lot of time to meet." She said here, pondered for a moment, and then said, "He is a very cheerful person. I rarely see such a heroic man, but-"

"But what?"

"But, I feel like there are a lot of things hidden in his heart." She said, looking up at me and said, "Really, I really feel this way. This person is definitely not as simple as an ordinary pirate."

“…”

This time, I fell silent.

I still know Xue Muhua's temperament very well. Although she once became a sect leader and was in charge of most of the black market in Yangzhou, her temperament is actually quite simple and even as straightforward as a child. In this regard, she is somewhat similar to Han Zitong.

However, even she could feel that the pirate's leader was not simple, and she also said that there were many things hidden in his heart.

I remembered the tall figure standing on the edge of the boat and the face that I saw when I was in the sea before, and the hideous face that was as fierce as a ghost in the sun.

I asked, "Did he bring—"

"A ghost mask." Xue Muhua quickly took my words and said, "When I go out to sea, I often wear a ghost mask."

"Then have you seen his face?"

"I've seen him-"

Before she could finish her words, she heard a knock on the door outside. She and I subconsciously closed their mouths. After hearing a few knocks, one person said outside the door: "Miss Xue, brother wants to see her."

Xue Muhua was shocked.

"See her? Why?"

"We don't dare to ask about this. The boss asked me to come and see it. If she wakes up, she will go there immediately."

“…”

Xue Muhua frowned slightly. She looked at the door that was still closed, then looked at me again, and silently asked me if I would like to go.

I felt a little grateful to her. Maybe she was afraid that something might happen to me. After all, I am different from her and have no relationship with these pirates to cure diseases and save lives. If they are fierce and want to do something to me together, there is no way. But at this time, I was not afraid. Not only was I not afraid, but I also had a trace of excitement in my heart that I could clearly feel - excitement.

This pirate leader, this huge flying clouds across the sea.

And their strange behavior of attacking Yan Qinghan and pursuing other pirates made me feel that there might be some mysteries that I can't figure out, which can be explained here.

So I spoke and said softly, "I'm much better."

When Xue Muhua opened her mouth, of course she understood what I meant. She gently pressed the back of my hand, then helped me up from the bed with her backhand. I rested for a while and finally recovered a little, but I was still very weak. When I stood up, everyone was trembling. Xue Muhua could only help me walk out. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a middle-aged man with a fleshy face and a very fierce face standing outside.

Although his face was fierce, his expression was very calm. He also said to us politely: "Just in his room, you go over."

"good."

Xue Muhua nodded and helped me and walked away slowly.

This ship had seen its huge size before, but now when it came out of the cabin, walking inside, I even sighed at the complexity of its architecture. The corridors here were like a huge maze, twists and turns. I saw countless cabins along the way, which were of varying sizes but all arranged in an orderly manner, like a complex but well-planned community of houses.

Xue Muhua took me to the door of a room.

This door looks bigger than the door of the cabin you passed by before. The door was covered with a false impression. Xue Muhua knocked on the door with one hand: "Brother."

The voice of a rough and low man immediately came from inside: "Yes."

"I brought her, I brought the light girl."

"You let her in."

"I--"

"You have been waiting for them since yesterday and you haven't rested. Now it's time to go back and have a good rest."

This person's speech is simple and concise, and seems to be accustomed to giving orders. Although he does not have the domineering and fierceness of a pirate as he imagines, he always gives people a feeling of being condescending, being looked down upon, or even being suppressed.

Xue Muhua turned his head and looked at me, his eyes flashing as if saying-"Can you do it?"

I nodded gently.

Although she was still not very relieved, I had slowly raised my hand and pushed open the door. She could only look at me holding the door frame and walked in carefully alone. When I walked into the room, she turned around and left.

In front of me, I was a little surprised.

The room is quite large. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you are walking into a hall in the imperial city. It is spacious and tall, equivalent to several of the cabins I was in before. Moreover, windows were opened on the left and right walls of the room, and the sun was shining brightly, like a container full of sunshine.

Apart from the sunshine, there is nothing else in this room.

There are very few decorations inside, only three chairs on the left and right sides. A tall and wide chair in front is enough for two or three people to sit on it. Behind the chair, it seems to be separated into a simple room, with a bed vaguely visible, and nothing else.

A figure slowly walked out from behind.

I immediately held my breath.

The man who walked out was a very tall man, not only tall, but also looked particularly agile. It was the middle of winter, but he was only wearing a thin cloth shirt. The brown cloth shirt had been washed white and his chest was wide open, revealing his broad and thick shoulders and strong chest. He could even see a few solid muscles on his waist and abdomen.

But at this time, of course, we cannot denounce him for being disheveled in front of a woman. After all, his identity is a pirate.

I looked up again and looked at his face.

The ghost face came into view again.

As I saw it in the sea before, it was an iron mask, but unlike the simple and cold half mask on Liu Qinghan's face, the man's iron mask covered his entire face, and the mask was covered with grimace, green face and fangs, ferocious and terrifying, like an evil ghost running out of hell.

I just felt my breathing rapid.

Iron...mask!

The person in front of me is—

When I looked at this man, he held the armrest of the wide chair, faced me, and looked at me up and down. Just as my heart was surging and I could hardly suppress my desire to ask, I heard his low and hoarse voice sounding behind the mask.

"Who are you from Huaiyin?"

When I first heard that name, my breathing was suffocating again.

Huaiyin...

The mother's name.

It's just two simple words, even when you read them on the tip of your tongue, it's faint, and it can't bring up any imagination. My mother's name is as simple as the willow catkins floating in the air in spring, and the snow-white waves swelling on the sea, but at this moment, it has caused thousands of waves in my heart.

After so many years, no one has mentioned this name again.

In Xichuan, she has a high status, and few people are qualified to call her name. Now there are almost no more. Even Xue Qian is just calling her "that woman, that woman". So over the years, I have almost forgotten that my mother's name, to me, is more like a taboo, sealing all the dusty secrets and past events in the past ten years.

At this moment, it appeared before my eyes unexpectedly.

I said, "I am her daughter."

Perhaps it was because I was on the sea, no matter how big the boat was, it was rising and falling with the waves. I felt that the solid wooden boards under my feet were also rising and falling, and the surging waves almost made me stand unsteadily.

When I said this, I almost staggered.

And behind the hideous mask, the man seemed to have been silent for a moment.

The sound of waves fills every bit of air around us and the gap between every breath.

Then, I saw him slowly walking towards me.

Only then did I realize that his figure was much taller than I thought, even taller and taller than when I first saw him. When he walked in front of me, it seemed like a mountain standing in front of me, blocking all the sunshine in the room. Only his mask, which was close at hand, revealed its hideous fangs.

He looked at me for a long time, and I thought he was going to say something, but when I heard him behind the mask, he sighed deeply.

The sigh revealed indescribable fatigue and fatigue, as well as a full range of vicissitudes.

I even felt that his burly figure collapsed a little in an instant.

For a moment, my throat was completely choked. The doubts and questions that had been rumbling in my mind before were not asked at this moment. I only looked at the tall man, the hideous mask, quietly in front of me, and the sound of the waves seemed to be his years, just like water flowing away.

I don't know how long it took, but he slowly raised his hand.

His hands were very big, his fingers were slender and well-proportioned, and only the joints were slightly raised. The nails of each finger were cut into an oval shape, which was quite clean and tidy. There were thick calluses on his hands, which made the palms look light yellow. The hand slowly stretched towards me and reached the top of my head, like an elder who was about to caress the top of a little girl.

However, as soon as his hand touched my hair, he stopped.

He said, "I've seen you."

I nodded.

"I haven't seen you for many years."

I nodded, too.

"At that time, you were still very young, I'm afraid you didn't remember me at all."

"But I know you."

I looked at him, and the sound was completely choked as soon as I opened my mouth, and tears almost flashed in my eyes. I felt the hand above my head tremble slightly, and he suffocated his breathing behind the mask.

"Do you know who I am?"
