Although Sheng Weiqiao had been to Tortoiseshell Island two years ago, because she had just killed Young Master Han at that time, she was frightened by the fear and the fear of being suddenly exiled, which caused her to develop a high fever that night, which lasted for four days. When she opened her eyes, she had reached the age of Gongsun Ying Jiang Rang came out of the room. I didn’t even know how to get to the island, let alone the scenery along the way.
So although this trip was a bit reluctant, I was someone who had never traveled far before. After the ship set sail and left the shore, I looked at the increasingly vast blue outside the porthole, and the seagulls drawing beautiful arcs in the sky from far and near. And the silver scales that sometimes leaped out of the sea... She quickly put aside her previous reluctance, and pulled Gongsun Yingjiang to run around the boat with great interest, seeing everything that was strange.
But that was the only novelty for her and her maids - as a bloodline of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Yingjiang had long been tired of seeing the scene in front of him.
The day before, he had managed to gather his energy and accompany her around. The next day, he made excuses to stay in the room and refused to go out. He would rather take his maid and play leaf cards for fun.
At this time, Lu Jin and Lu Qi could not accompany Sheng Weiqiao: these two maids were actually seasick!
Although the dizziness was not severe, Sheng Weiqiao didn't notice it when Sheng Lanci brought him to Tortoiseshell Island the year before last. But this time they went to sea together and followed Sheng Weiqiao for a whole day. The next day, they felt dizzy and found it difficult to get up. After all, they were the ones who served him from a young age and were always loyal. Upon seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao let them rest in the cabin and wait until they got to the island to serve him again.
Anyway, there were either people from the Sheng family or Tortoiseshell Island on this ship. No matter which side, it was impossible to hurt her, so she still walked around alone. If she didn't understand anything, she could just ask the sailor nearby.
As a result, I felt tired after the whole day. I saw that the ship also found a place with a group of rocks to block the wind and waves and anchored, so I simply ran to the deck to enjoy the wind.
Because Han Pan has been killed, the Gongsun family is now the dominant one in this sea area, and they are taking a very familiar route. After setting anchor, the sailors dispersed in twos and threes and went to have a good time.
There happened to be no one on the deck at this moment - Sheng Weiqiao knelt down on the bow of the ship and blew the wind for a while. He lowered his head and saw that there seemed to be faint scales on the sea below. He couldn't help but become interested. He took off the silk draped on his arm, held it in his hand, and put it down. Go tease those sea fish.
Her shawl was plain in color, but because it had gold threads woven into it, it reflected dots of gold under the setting sun. It attracted the attention of the sea fish, and before it fell to the sea, some fish eagerly jumped out of the water to bite them. Go up.
But because it was not a fishhook after all, Sheng Weiqiao raised it slightly. When the fish realized that it had been deceived, it let go and fell back into the sea.
Although there was no harvest, Sheng Weiqiao found it very wild and interesting, and he couldn't help but become addicted to it.
She was teasing the fish like this. In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting and twilight was approaching. She was thinking that it was time to go back for dinner. Suddenly, the deck beneath her feet swayed. Sheng Weiqiao subconsciously looked around, and suddenly saw an unexpected figure beside her. A figure came out, and she was so frightened that she instinctively gave way. After giving in, she realized that it was not good. But by this time, it was already too late. There was nothing behind her, and she had nowhere to use her strength. She was about to fall into the sea!
At the critical moment, a strong force suddenly came from her waist, pulling her back to the deck and slamming her head into a wet embrace!
"It's already dark, what are you doing here alone?" Sheng Suihe saw her standing firm, then took a step back to prevent the brother and sister from getting too close, and he gave her a handful that was blown by the sea breeze. With his hair disheveled, he laughed a little and said, "It's a good thing I met my brother, otherwise no one would know you fell into the sea!"
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have fallen in!" Sheng Weiqiao was frightened and patted his chest. He rolled his eyes at him and said suspiciously, "You look like you just crawled out of the sea... Don't fall by yourself." Gone to the sea?"
His eyes touched Sheng Suihe's bare chest. The white jade-like complexion did not appear weak at all because of the clear texture. Under the smooth and full lines, one could feel how abundant the power contained in it was only a quick glance. The year before last, he had saved Gongsun. The injuries suffered by the old sea master had long since healed, and the few scars left behind were not ugly, but instead gave him a bit of masculinity.
It was already autumn at this time, and even though the climate in Nanfeng County was warm, the sea became cool after dusk.
Sheng Weiqiao remembered that when he was pulled up and threw himself into Sheng Sleeping He's arms, he felt that the sea water on his body was extremely cold. But at this moment, Sheng Sleeping He was topless, wearing only a pair of black silk pants, and he was naked. She stood on the deck with her feet and body dripping with sea water, but her expression was calm, as if she didn't feel the autumn cold at all, and he just looked at her with a smile but not a smile.
Sheng Weiqiao's face turned red when he saw him, and he quickly turned his eyes away. Half complaining and half covering up his embarrassment, he said, "Where is your robe? Did it fall into the sea?"
"I haven't been to the sea in the past two years. I just saw the boat stop, so I took off my clothes and went down to play for a while." Sheng Suihe said innocently, "I didn't expect that my dear daughter was there when I came up. If I had known better, I would have crossed the water to lean on." Note]."
Hearing this, Sheng Weiqiao subconsciously looked at the sea surface - at this time, because the skylight was gradually disappearing, the blue and gentle sea surface under the big sun during the day looked dark and unpredictable. People like Sheng Weiqiao who could not swim instinctively thought Stay away, couldn't help but tremble, and said: "How dare you go down alone, if you encounter a shark and eat you, let's see how you cry!"
"It's nothing for Brother Wei to meet a shark. This is how Brother Wei got his water support. Good girl, don't run out to play alone anymore, otherwise you will fall into the sea. It's not a joke!" Sheng Suihe smiled and touched it! He touched her head and took the opportunity to wipe some of the sea water off his hands, "It's getting dark, don't stand in the wind and talk, go back to the cabin quickly! It's time to eat!"
Sheng Weiqiao was a little scared when he thought about the scene where he almost fell into the sea just now. He didn't pay attention to his bad thoughts and said: "Go back to your room quickly and clean up! There are not only sailors and nurses on this ship, but Ying Jiang, I and the maid." We are all women, how can you be so disheveled?"
After walking a few steps, he glanced at the sea under the twilight, and finally said, "It's only September, and we are still half a year away from Mingke. Even though Chang'an is far away, there is still plenty of time. We are not in a hurry now. , if you want to go to the sea to play, just ask them to stop the boat in the middle of the afternoon, and you have to go out almost at night. If something goes wrong, you won’t be able to see where anyone is at night, and if you don’t know, something will really happen!”
Sheng Suihe smiled and wiped the sea water on her head again: "Don't worry, dear girl! Have you forgotten that Brother Wei is a pirate? Pirates are afraid of going into the sea at night. Isn't this a joke? Brother Wei is in the sea. Nothing will happen!"
He didn't feel guilty at all when he said this. He was really confident in his ability to drink water.
So, the next day, he was slapped in the face!
... It wasn't that Sheng Suihe had an accident when he went to sea, but that at dinner that night, after he figured out through some insinuation that Sheng Weiqiao had no one to play with, he spent the next day with her.
But Sheng Suihe was really not interested in visiting the ships on the sea. He was so familiar with the ships on Hawksbill Island that he realized that no matter where he looked at the sea from, he was not interested.
So I asked someone to get two fishing rods and invited Sheng Weiqiao to fish on the deck together.
Sheng Weiqiao happily agreed!
Then she got lucky and caught a big one!
Then she excitedly rejected Sheng Sleeping He's offer to help her pull the fish up, insisting on fighting the fish to the end and lifting it onto the deck herself: "Can this fish be kept? If so, brother Can you find someone to take care of it for me? When we go back later, I will show it to my parents and grandparents!"
If you can’t keep it, “then my brother will help me pickle it and take it back to show it to my parents, grandparents, and others!”
Looking at her sparkling eyes, radiant face, and the key point of calling her "brother" twice without hesitation, Sheng Suihe could only say "You are not strong enough, your skills are too poor, you are a fish." "Cheng Shi can't fight." He swallowed it back, touched her head, and said gently: "Well, dear girl, when you feel tired, call me brother, and I will help you when the time comes!"
"No need!" The mermaid wrestling had just begun, and Sheng Weiqiao was in high spirits. How could she hear such words that would destroy her prestige? Hearing this, he shook his head without thinking and said very confidently, "Brother, just look at your fishing rod. I can just catch this fish myself - I wonder if it tastes good or not? This is my first time fishing and I caught such a big one." The fish must not be too unpalatable!"
Sheng Suihe looked at her look and knew that if he said anything disappointing now, this sweet girl would most likely fall out with him. He touched his chin and had no choice but to sit back on the seat ten feet away, picked up his fishing rod and said: "You have to be careful and remember what my brother told you..."
Before he finished speaking, the big fish in the sea suddenly plunged into the depths. The confident expression on Sheng Weiqiao's face had not completely subsided, and he was dragged directly into the sea with a "plop"!
Sheng Sleeping Crane: "..."
The sailors on the deck watched the brother and sister from a distance: "...!"
"Ask the kitchen to prepare ginger soup and hot water!" Sheng Sleeping Crane threw away his fishing rod and kicked off the seat, taking off his robe in three strokes. During this process, he did not forget to warn the sailors who were already running this way, "More Ask Ying Jiang to come over with a cloak and wait!"
After saying that, he jumped down to save others - as brother and sister, other sailors should have gone to sea together at this time to prepare for unexpected events. The problem is that as Sheng Suihe said, his swimming skills are so good that they are as good as tortoise shells. Everyone on the island knows about it, so now that they see him personally going into the sea to save people, others will not go down.
Not only did he not go down, he also helped persuade the nursing home in Sheng Mansion not to go down either.
Firstly, he felt relieved about Sheng Suihe; secondly, it was only autumn and it was daytime again, and Sheng Weiqiao was still wearing very thin clothes. If there was anything indecent after falling into the water, it would be fine if his brother saw him in order to save his sister. If anyone comes close, they may be suspected of spying on Sheng Lanci's daughter!
But these people didn't know that Sheng Suihe almost fell into trouble this time - the position he jumped into the sea was from the deck, right next to Sheng Weiqiao. He originally wanted to save people nearby, but who knew that he was frightened just after entering the water? Sheng Weiqiao hugged her tightly!
No matter how powerful Sheng Suihe is, he can't float up even though his hands and feet are chained and a hair-length girl is pressed down on him!
He wanted to struggle or even knock Sheng Weiqiao unconscious, but Sheng Weiqiao was too frightened. She hugged him tightly out of instinct. She was so strong that her nails dug deeply into his flesh. She wanted to push her away unless she pushed her away. Her arms and legs were broken!
The brother and sister floated up and down several times, but gradually they couldn't float anymore. At this time, Sheng Suihe was still hoping that someone would come down to rescue him. If he found that the situation was not right, he would help. However, the people on the deck remembered that before he jumped into the sea to save people, he told Gongsun Yingjiang to take it. They immediately thought that this was because they were afraid that Sheng Weiqiao's clothes would be exposed after being soaked in water. No matter how lustful they were, they would not dare to go against Sheng Lanci's beloved daughter, Gongsun Su, who had repeatedly told her to treat Sheng Weiqiao as an honored guest. After deliberation, they all felt that it was still better. It's better to leave the deck to avoid suspicion.
So with a "hoo!", everyone on the deck left in an instant...
After a while, Gongsun Yingjiang ran down from above with his cloak. When he saw that there was no one on the deck, he was furious: "Who wants to die like this! How dare you lie to me about my little aunt falling into the water?!"
As he spoke, he threw away his cloak, stepped on his feet in anger, and angrily went to settle the score with the person who had just sent the message!
There were chicken feathers all over the boat, and in the water below the boat, when Sheng Sleeping Crane felt it was difficult to breathe, he finally stopped counting on others and made a decisive move to twist and dislocate Sheng Weiqiao's arms and free his own arms. After a while, he looked gloomy. He carried the girl onto the deserted deck, took her arm back, stared at the frightened Sheng Weiqiao for a long time, and said word by word: "What many water ghosts in the Han and Pan families failed to do back then, my dear girl , you almost succeeded on your own!"
-Back then, he cut off the queen of Gongsun Su and his party, and after being seriously injured, he jumped into the sea to escape. The Han and Pan families were chasing him wildly, not counting the boats and boats. At that time, almost everywhere he could see was densely packed with seas and seas. Water ghost.
Even so, Sheng Suihe still caught the loophole that the two water ghosts did not know each other, and escaped from death by relying on his extraordinary water skills;
But today, he almost drowned! ! !
Sheng Weiqiao, who was gradually recovering from his illness, burst into tears when he heard this: "Can you blame me?! You said it yourself yesterday, you will be fine in the sea! What happened? We almost died. They both confessed to the sea! If that were the case, how would your parents live in the future?! I told you yesterday not to go into the sea after dark and you still refused to listen! I really don’t know how you have survived until now - more in the future If you fall into the water, let the sailors, hospital guards, or people who really know how to swim save it, okay?! If you show off like this, you are basically harming others and yourself, do you know that?!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane: “……………”
Seeing the girl's words written from head to toe, "You braggart almost killed us both and you still have the nerve to criticize me", he just wanted to spit out blood quietly!
