Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 556: The wind doesn't stop

Views:

There was no point in Shark crying, because neither of them knew where to go.

When sailing on the sea, without a compass, you cannot identify the exact direction by just looking at the stars. You cannot find the way back even if you want to, so you can only wander around aimlessly, hoping to find an island that is more habitable to heal your injuries.

Besides, although Sanniang looked majestic, she couldn't last long. Her ribs would hurt after holding on for too long, and a man's kiss couldn't cure that. She couldn't support herself for a long time in steering a shark.

In fact, the kiss didn't last long. It was said to be "distracting", but in fact it was not effective at all. The shark started to rebel after just two kisses and almost knocked away the two people who were trying to shark-stun.

Sanniang pushed Zhao Changhe away, suppressed the shark fiercely, and then beat Zhao Changhe up: "I have recovered, and you still want to flirt with me? You stinky pig."

Zhao Changhe stood aside with his hands in his pockets, looking aggrieved, and said, "You'd better pretend to be sick."

Fortunately, the luck was not so bad that Sanniang could not bear it. The heavy rain began to subside, the fog was not so thick, and light was faintly visible from the gray sky, and the visibility was getting higher and higher.

As the mist dissipated, another island appeared in the distance. It looked much larger than the previous deserted island, and there were trees.

Sanniang was overjoyed and drove the shark away through the waves.

If you get closer, you can see that it is a coconut tree. Coconuts mean water has come. Coconuts can also be made into various ladles and pots, which are essential for daily life...

Zhao Changhe was also ecstatic, and he felt as if he had survived a disaster. People's mentality is very strange. They are still trying to survive on the deserted island, but they feel like they have been saved.

It's like living in a bridge tunnel and moving to a ten-square-meter apartment. Even though you're still working like a cow or a horse, it's already an improved house...

At this moment, neither of them thought that the more improved and livable the place was, the higher the possibility of it being taken over by stinky pigs.

The two of them couldn't wait to use their Qinggong skills to fly to the island, find a flat place, and Zhao Changhe pulled out the Dragon Bird immediately and went to chop trees excitedly.

In the end, Longque took on everything.

Fortunately, this is a precious sword that will not be damaged even after thousands of battles, so it is no problem to chop down a tree.

Turning around, I saw that Sanniang had already prepared a pile of firewood. She used her internal energy to drain out the moisture and then started a fire with a "pop".

Zhao Changhe was chopping wood with difficulty, and asked curiously, "Where did you get the fire starter?"

Sanniang said: "Now that I have the true energy, I can use the ring naturally."

"… You also have a storage ring."

"Do you think you are the only one who owns this thing?" Sanniang said with a smile: "From the perspective of inheritance, your ring should belong to me."

Zhao Changhe was stunned. Yes, this ring of his belongs to the ancient Xuanwu. But that's not right. Why does the ancient Xuanwu belong to you

Sanniang hummed and added wood to the fire: "Forget it, just consider it as a reward from me. There seems to be nothing wrong with the fire pig using Xuanwu's things."

I see nothing wrong with using Xuanwu for the Fire Pig.

Zhao Changhe didn't say anything and just kept chopping the wood.

Sanniang's eyes flickered, and she suddenly disappeared into the bushes behind. When she reappeared, she had changed back into her own clothes. The cute feeling of the loose coat wrapped around her slender body was gone, replaced by a robe that Zhao Changhe had never seen before.

The robes were obviously similar to those of Suzaku, and it was obvious that they were the representative attire of the Four Symbols Sect. Unlike Suzaku's bright red, Sanniang's were black and blue, heavy and solemn, highlighting the silent majesty of Xuanwu.

Zhao Changhe twitched his lips, lowered his head to chop wood, and didn't look.

Sanniang tied her hair into a ponytail with a smile: "Why, is it very majestic?"

Yes, clothes make the man, and this outfit is indeed very beautiful. However, clothes are majestic, and you smile like a Jenny, and no clothes can save you. And you tie your hair into a ponytail, what kind of youth are you pretending to be

Then again, the more majestic and heavy it is, the more it reminds people of holding it naked in their arms and chewing it, which makes it tempting even for no reason.

Zhao Changhe had reason to suspect that Guigui was seducing him. Otherwise, why would he choose so many clothes to wear instead of just one that would make people want to overthrow him

Forget it, it’s more important to do the real work.

Zhao Changhe was busy carving wooden boards to build a house, so Sanniang stopped disturbing him and started a fire. She then went to catch some fish and shrimps, picked some coconuts, and prepared a good dinner.

If an outsider were watching, it would definitely be the young couple dividing the work and working hard for a happy life.

That's what the blind man thought, except that the young couple had an age difference of ten years, so if they were drawn in the notebook, they could definitely draw it as a child driving a big car.

It really doesn’t matter what kind of food you eat. You can eat it when you are fifteen or sixteen, you can eat it when you are twenty-eight or twenty-nine, and you can eat it when you are over thirty. You can eat it when you are a rabbit or a tortoise.

Is it okay as long as you look good

But then again, there's really nothing incompatible about the scene. On the contrary, they look very compatible. This kind of simple life where one person builds a house and the other cooks is also very comfortable to watch.

Zhao Changhe's performance this time also made the blind man look at him differently. He was indeed very reliable. Back then, he sent Yuan Yang thousands of miles away, and the nature of this time was quite similar, but at that time he was still a little immature, but now he has really grown up in all aspects.

So much so that the tortoise is about to overtake the rabbit.

The blind man knew that the turtle could not bear it... This kind of woman who has been displaced since childhood, no matter how heartless she looks on the surface, her heart is full of holes. What she wants most in her dreams is a home and a person who can shelter her from the wind and rain.

This experience was like the most accurate arrow, piercing my heart.

She deliberately put on the Four Symbols Sect robes to show that she is the "boss". This was a warning to Zhao Changhe and her last struggle and resistance... But in reality, it was as fragile as paper and might even be an aphrodisiac.

I'm afraid that the Night Emperor's followers will be wiped out.

The blind man stroked his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly did something small.

"It's time to eat." Sanniang was shouting, "It's not that fast to build a house, take a break first."

Zhao Changhe came over, wiping his sweat. "I'm just worried it's going to rain again, so I want to finish the work early."

"I'll eat with you after we finish eating." Sanniang handed over a seashell: "Try it."

Looking at Sanniang's expectant expression, Zhao Changhe's heart also softened.

It's like coming home from work and having dinner ready for you. Maybe we all have the same feeling. After wandering around for a long time, who doesn't want to have a home

Sanniang’s cooking skills are very good, and the things she bakes are really delicious...

"Is it delicious?" Sanniang kicked him, meaning "hurry up and praise me."

Zhao Changhe couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, seashells are delicious, and turtles are delicious too."

"Where is the turtle..." Sanniang came to her senses and said with a lazy smile: "Hey, I have revived. You will have no chance in the future."

Zhao Changhe didn't refute and just lowered his head to eat.

Sanniang's beautiful eyes looked at his face for a long time, and she didn't say anything more and just focused on eating fish.

After a long while, Zhao Changhe finally found a topic: "Since there is nothing else to do, let's talk about the Bandit Brotherhood?"

This is what couples chat about at the dinner table.

"What's there to say..." Sanniang muttered, "I'm in charge of making money in the Four Symbols Sect. I was born a pirate and participated in the construction of a country. I'm an expert in trade and looting. Ying Wu's brotherhood has also turned to business in recent years, so it's natural that we have some intersections... But when I met Ying Wu, I didn't reveal that I was Xuanwu. I just said that an old friend came to visit and wanted to use him. They are very rich and I'm not close to them."

Zhao Changhe asked: "What happened next?"

"It turns out that Ying Wu is very loyal." Sanniang sighed: "I met Ying Wu and told him that my mother had passed away. Ying Wu was silent for a long time and said that he was the only one left among their old brothers, and the others were all descendants who inherited the name. He said that it was good that I came, as if the brothers were all together again. Then he didn't even ask me what I had done or what abilities I had, and directly let me sit in the third seat, gave me very high authority, and allowed me to review their information over the years and spend money as I wanted. That's what it meant, I really didn't want to cheat him, so I used both identities, there is no conflict."

"Fifth Master is indeed a man of honor..." Zhao Changhe said, "I think he actually knows your identity, but he doesn't care."

"Well... maybe. Anyway, I'm still acting in front of him, maybe he's just watching me having fun." Sanniang became a little unsure, stroking her chin and said, "That won't do. I'm the only one who can watch other people having fun..."

Zhao Changhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So you went to Huangshaji because you found clues related to Xuanwu there from their information."

"Yes, otherwise how could I meet an enemy like you?"

"I thought that your purpose of going there should have something to do with the Hu people."

Sanniang thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there is... Why, are you worried about Batu?"

"Well... Batu's military might be good, but it lacks top-notch combat power. And you're here again. If the Mobei army comes again, I don't know how he can handle it."

"You just worry too much." Sanniang whined, "Let Tang Wanzhuang worry about it. She didn't give you anything to play with, so why are you licking her?"

Zhao Changhe glanced at her and stopped talking.

This is so sour...

Sanniang seemed to realize that the tone was wrong, and she snorted and stopped talking.

Really, now the atmosphere becomes weird with any random words. Whether it's Ying Wu or Batu, they can all make it up, and they are all making it up themselves.

Sanniang angrily threw the fish bones far into the sea.

… …

The night deepens.

The sounds of carpentry work on the island became clearer.

After dinner, the men and women worked together. Zhao Changhe supported the beams and pillars, and Sanniang installed the wooden boards.

The young couple was in high spirits, watching with great delight as a small house gradually took shape. The sense of satisfaction was evident on their faces. They looked at each other's slightly dirty faces and smiled as brightly as flowers.

It was not until the two of them met and considered the entire wooden bed, and inadvertently looked up at each other, that they seemed to begin to think of a problem.

Yesterday, under that slate cover, the environment really couldn't do anything.

Now there is a wooden house with a bed in it. The new house is just built and the bonfire is warm.

Is this the wedding night

Even if it is not, it can easily become so.

In fact, I had this thought in my mind as early as when I was eating, but I just suppressed it and didn't think about it. Now that the house is completed, I finally need to face this problem.

"You..." Sanniang gritted her teeth for a long time before finally saying, "I'm your boss, and you sleep on the floor."

Zhao Changhe lay down on the bed without saying anything. "I'm tired and I really can't stand it anymore. I need to sleep. I don't have the energy to do anything to you. What are you afraid of?"

Sanniang was suspicious: "Really?"

Zhao Changhe did not answer, but he could already hear faint snoring.

He was really exhausted. He stumbled and fell when he was fighting the shark, and now he had been holding on for the whole day. It was lucky that he didn't faint while building the house.

Sanniang stared at his face as he fell asleep in a second, as peaceful as a child who had not grown up.

Sanniang hesitated for a moment, and finally lay down beside him with her clothes on, closing her eyes. She also needed to rest, she was tired after a day, and her ribs were aching again. She had run out of medicine long ago, so she could only rely on rest to heal herself.

Fortunately, her Xuanwu body not only has strong defense, but also good recovery ability. How can an ordinary person with broken ribs fight a shark like her after being weak for only one day? A few days of rest is enough for her to return. It doesn't take ten days or half a month...

While Sanniang was half asleep and half awake, a vague thought flashed through her mind - in fact, it didn't seem to matter if she didn't go back... It was none of her business if the sky fell.

She turned over, hugged the human pillow beside her, smacked her lips, and slept soundly.

The waves roar and the night is silent.

Far out on the sea, a fleet was sailing: "Captain, a wounded shark was spotted in the distance... I suspect there may be someone in this area."
