Pirate Traveling Merchant

The voyage lasted over a month, during which time they made several docking stops.However, Nolan didn't get off the ship and stayed in the cabin. Long Yi was a little helpless about this situation.After simply replenishing food and daily necessities, we set sail immediately.

On this day, they finally arrived at their destination and saw the small island in the distance. Long Yi knocked on the cabin door and said, "We have arrived. Get ready. We are going to disembark here and stay for a while."

Nolan in the cabin did not answer.Long Yi stood at the door for a while. Facing the quiet cabin, he could only sigh and turned around to prepare to stop the ship.

An hour later, the boat docked at the pier of the island, which was a very ordinary island.There are green trees, and there is a small town on it. The town is a European-style town building. There are no bustling streets and crowded people here.It feels a bit like Nolan's hometown. The only difference is that the towns here are larger and there are more people.

Long Yi tied up the ship, carried his luggage, knocked on the cabin door, and said inside: "Get off the ship." After saying that, he ignored Nolan and walked directly off the ship and walked towards the town.

Nolan didn't show his temper this time. When Long Yi just stepped off the boat, he opened the door and walked out, then followed Long Yi from a distance.

Looking at Nolan who was following behind him with a gloomy face, Long Yi smiled and continued walking forward.

Walking on the streets of the town, there were not many people on the road, but everyone had a smile on their face, and the merchants did not sell crazily, there were no people in a hurry, and there were no rich people in gorgeous clothes.Everyone wore the same clothes, plain and simple, and talked about small daily things.

Everyone is either doing their own thing silently and unhurriedly, or they gather together in twos and threes, talking and laughing, or they order a cup of coffee and read leisurely with a book. The whole street is full of people. An inexplicable tranquility.

Looking at such a scene, Nolan remembered his previous life in the village.The same is true for people in the village, who live a leisurely and leisurely life every day.Feeling the peaceful atmosphere, Nolan's mood improved and he began to look curiously at the people and buildings on the street.

Long Yi kept walking until he walked out of the town, but he did not stop.Nolan didn't say anything about this, he just followed Long Yi silently.He was still angry now, how could he take the initiative to talk to Long Yi.

The two walked into the woods on the edge of the town and walked for nearly 10 minutes.Nolan saw a dilapidated small house in the woods. Nolan was a little surprised as to how someone could live here. Judging from the wear and tear of the house, no one had lived here for a long time.

Arriving in front of the house, Long Yi stopped and looked at the house in front of him, his eyes full of memories.Nolan stood under a tree not far away, looking at Long Yi quietly.

Long Yi stood quietly, simply watching without making any movement.Time passed by like this second by second, the breeze blew slowly, moving the leaves, the leaves swayed and rustled, and the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and scattered on the grass.

Nolan also felt the tranquility quietly, and the sleepy man crawled out unconsciously. "Ah~~~~~" Nolan yawned involuntarily and rubbed his eyes which were a little dry due to sleepiness.

The time gradually changed from the sun in the sky to the setting sun. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Nolan slept soundly against the tree, with tears streaming down his face, and he also chirped from time to time.A bug flew onto Nolan's cheek and moved back and forth.Nolan stretched out his hand to catch it, but the insect was very flexible and avoided Nolan's hand and continued to crawl unscrupulously.

In his sleep, Nolan frowned and slapped his face hard with his hand.A crisp slap sounded, and Nolan was woken up by himself.

"Well" Nolan looked around blankly, "Who hit me?" Nolan asked, but here, there was only Long Yi and him, no one else. Long Yi was still standing in front of the house in a daze, it was impossible. It was Long Yi who did it.After searching to no avail, Nolan could only sit down anxiously, adjusted a comfortable position, leaned against the tree, and continued to wait for Long Yi.

By this time, the sun was about to completely set, the moon and the stars in the sky had come out, and the last trace of the sun was struggling to hang on the horizon.

At this time, Long Yi suddenly spoke, "This is my hometown because I was born here."

Nolan, who was still bored at first, sat up straight as if he wanted to take a shot of blood, raised his ears, and listened carefully.This was the first time Long Yi talked about himself.

"My parents drifted to this island because the people here are very kind and they liked it very much, so they settled here."

Long Yi took a breath, walked forward, touched the door handle of the house, and continued.

"My mother had me in the second year they lived here. I was born with their full blessings. I can be said to be very lucky when I was a child, because I had parents who loved me and people who loved me. I cared about my residents with all my heart. At that time, I was very happy every day, and I also thought that maybe it would be good to live like this for the rest of my life."

"I had a lot of good friends at that time. I went to play with them every day, go to the woods to pick mushrooms and catch small animals, go to the pier to see people coming from outside, and run around the streets of the town. My parents didn't have any requirements for me. , they just wanted me to be happy every day, and I also liked my life at that time."

At this moment, a loud sound of stomach growling came from behind Long Yi, Gulu~~~~ Long Yi turned his head and looked at Nolan. At this time, Nolan was holding his stomach tightly with his hand. He didn't expect that at this time, his stomach would suddenly growl, and his face would turn red.

Nolan, whose face was red, coughed and said, "I didn't mean to do it, it was the barking of its own accord."

Long Yi laughed, "Haha, speaking of which, we haven't eaten since noon. Let's prepare to eat first. I will continue talking after we fill our stomachs."

After saying that, Long Yi started to set up the stove, and Nolan went to the woods to collect some firewood.

After a while, with the cooperation of the two, a pot of fragrant stew was cooked, and Nolan ate several bowls in one go.He was really hungry, so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.On the other hand, Long Yi was eating slowly. Since the injury, his body had become much weaker. He didn't eat much and his stomach was full.

Nolan put down the bowl in his hand and sat upright, as if to say, I'm full and I won't bother you anymore with my stomach growling.

Seeing Nolan like this, Long Yi held the bowl and continued the topic: "Where did I just talk about it? By the way, I liked the life I lived at that time."

Long Yi looked at the dilapidated house in the night and said, "Our life was very peaceful at that time. I always thought that my family was a very ordinary family until I was ten years old."

Speaking of this, Long Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. "That year, a man came to my family. He had the same eyes as us. After he arrived, my parents' faces became extremely ugly. They asked me to go play with the children in the town, and then took that A stranger walked into the house."

"Because I was curious, I didn't listen to what they said and went to the town. I ran back secretly when I was halfway there. I ran to the back of the house and pressed against the wall, trying to hear what they were talking about inside. "

"But when they were chatting, their voices were very low. I didn't hear much. I only heard words about revolution and country. Just when I was about to give up and go to play with my friends, there was something like Because of something, a violent quarrel suddenly broke out."

"That was the first time I saw my parents angry. Their voices were very loud. My parents said angrily, "No, it's impossible." But the stranger sneered and said, "Don't forget, you are also from the same clan. Don't you?" Maybe he escaped and had something to do with it.”

"After the quarrel broke up, the stranger left. My parents walked out of the house and looked at the direction he was leaving with solemn faces. At that time, I was frightened and couldn't help running out and calling them. They also I was startled and asked me if I had heard their conversation. I nodded ignorantly, and then my parents took me into the house with serious faces."

Long Yi closed his eyes, as if he was remembering something, and then smiled bitterly: "If I hadn't nodded at that time, maybe my life would have become completely different from what it is now."
