When the sun was about to set, the pier, which had been noisy all day, finally returned to tranquility.The location along the edge of the river bank is remote, desolate and uninhabited, and there are jagged bushes and weeds as far as the eye can see.

The cargo ship was parked in the deepest corner, and it was not easy for outsiders to find out, but now the side of the ship was torn, the sails were broken, and most of it collapsed... Several corpses were lying on the deck, and the thick smell of blood and water was wafting. In the wind, it didn't completely disperse for a while.

If Duan Qingni hadn't stopped it in time, Yusu's amazing destructive power might have caused the entire ship to sink into the lake.Most of Chen Xianhai and his men were dead or injured, and Hao Daer and a few survivors were barely left, but they fell asleep due to the serious injuries. Duan Qingni asked Yusu to tie them up and put them in a ball. In the end, I searched inside and outside the cabin, fearing that other people might be trapped here—fortunately, there was no one. Duan Qingni went around a few times and found a lot of gold, silver and jewels on the boat. I don't know the authenticity of the unfamiliar map, and some miscellaneous valuables.

He picked them out one by one, classified them and put them aside, planning to study them carefully later.

Anyway, after clearing up the mess, the sky completely darkened, and the surrounding area was completely darkened by the shadows of trees.

Duan Qingni had just stepped out of the river, and his body was still dripping with water. At that time, a big fire was lit, and he and the boy sat together, waiting for the drenched clothes to dry.

"This gang of thieves burns, kills and loots every day. They do all kinds of evil. They try to transport away the things they rob." The young man frowned and said, "...they must have more than one stronghold."

Duan Qingni's expression was somber, and she remained silent all this time.

He didn't care how many strongholds those people had, but the "missing for more than ten years" mentioned by the boy before, this alone made him care a lot, but he didn't know where to start.

While hesitating, the young man beside him suddenly said, "That brother just now is really amazing... Is he your friend?"

Duan Qingni was startled, and then said: "Forget it, let's do it."

The boy said: "But I see that he... doesn't seem very happy."

The two turned their gazes away at the same time, and Yu Su was still on the damaged bow of the ship far away from the river bank, and the night made that slender figure even more lonely and cold.

He stood there alone, motionless, at least for half an hour, like a sculpture without a soul.

——The moment the keychain fell into the water just now, Yu Su's subconscious reaction made Duan Qingni think that Qi Zhou was possessed.

But apparently not.This wooden man, who has never had any emotional fluctuations, decisively made an unbelievable choice between the keychain and himself.

After that, he didn't say a word, and returned to his previous indifference, standing quietly on the boat alone, as if he was thinking and reminiscing about something...things that even he couldn't figure out.

It's not that Duan Qingni has never seen Yusu in a trance.From the outside of Tianshu Mountain to the side courtyard of Hanting Hall, Yu Su has always been quiet. When he is not hurting others, he basically looks up at the sky in a small secluded corner.

Ordinary people may think that this executioner has deep thoughts and is planning a horrific killing.Only Duan Qingni knows that Yu Su didn't think about anything, his blank paper-like mood was empty, and there were very few things in it, he seemed to be stagnant because of getting lost, and he didn't even put his thoughts Try to be transparent.

Duan Qingni stared at it for a moment, then quietly walked around with her hands behind her back.When stepping on the deck, Yu Su turned around, glanced at him lightly, and then continued to look elsewhere in a daze.

"Don't be sad." Duan Qingni stood next to him and raised her voice, "...I'll pay you a little."

Yu Su didn't react, and his arm was grabbed.Duan Qingni opened his big hand, and put a ring made of weeds into the palm. It was crooked, with rough corners curled up under the moonlight, which looked uniquely ugly.

Yu Su: "..."

"I grab a lot of this stuff in my hometown. If I go back one day, I'll buy a big box and send it to you." Duan Qingni said with a smile.

——But the premise is that he can go back.

Yu Su looked at the grass ring, still silent.

Duan Qingni knew that the piece of wood in front of him was actually not very capable of perceiving his own emotions.He didn't even know what sadness was, but he couldn't hide the lonely eyes... Such an unknown and vague weight added another dull pain.

Duan Qingni thought for a while, pinched the grass ring again, put it into Yu Su's sleeve, and patted it lightly twice: "That's it, you can treat it as if it's still there."

Yu Su shook his head and said, "It's gone."

"Then do you feel regretful?" Duan Qingni asked, "If you hadn't pulled me back then, you could have fished it up from the bottom of the water with nothing."

Yu Su looked uncertain, but still didn't speak.

Duan Qingni smiled, and got off the boat with the help of the wooden ladder, wanting to leave him room to think alone.

At this time, Yu Su said, "That night in Shidong, you told me that the person is already dead, so what's the use of keeping that thing."

Duan Qingni turned her head in surprise.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I haven't figured out why I keep it." Yu Su said lightly, "Maybe it's what you said, he's gone, and I've been thinking about it and can't forget... this kind of feeling, It's called grief."

Duan Qingni stared at Yu Su in a daze, and faltered for a while, unable to speak.

It felt like taking a baby with you and trying your best to teach him how to crawl, but he just couldn't learn it—but suddenly one day, without any warning, the baby flew into the sky on a rocket.

While Duan Qingni was excited and excited, she also felt a trace of trepidation and uneasiness.

Yu Su said again: "I saved you just now because of the past. When you took the blueprints, you asked me whether the living or the dead are more important..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Duan Qingni was already overwhelmed with excitement, rushed forward and hugged him, shouting repeatedly: "That's great! You finally understand!"

——It never occurred to him that he would remember every word and every word he said to Yu Su clearly!

Who said that this person has no heart, he is not a piece of wood, it's just that no one has ever taught him that's all!

This time, Duan Qingni was crazy with joy, but Yu Su froze as if he hadn't taken a step from the depths of his thoughts, but Duan Qingni was like a string of firecrackers, crackling in his ears like crazy bombing.

Yu Su couldn't take it anymore, pushed Duan Qingni a little away, and said emphatically, "I didn't think clearly."

"It's okay, you think about it slowly. There is plenty of time for you to think about it."

Duan Qingni smiled, and suddenly began to cough.The wind was strong on the deck, and he coughed and bent down with difficulty, a fine layer of cold sweat emerged from his forehead.

Yu Su touched his coat, but it was still wet, so he frowned and said, "Go down."

"No, it's not in the way...let me rest for a while." Duan Qingni's feet were a little soft, she found a nearby corner, sat down slowly, and then her upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

Seeing that his expression was not good, Yu Su asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Duan Qingni rubbed her heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "I was kicked by Chen Xianhai just now on that small boat... It hurt my heart."

Before he finished speaking, he was grabbed by Yu Su, forced to take him off the deck, and walked to the burning bonfire.

The young man warming up to the fire raised his eyes and saw two big men stuck together, Duan Qingni's feet were floating, and he fell on Yusu's body as he walked.

"What's the matter, this is..." The young man couldn't help but said, "This is how they make friends?"

However, as soon as he got closer, he saw Duan Qingni's face was pale, his forehead and neck were covered with sweat, and his whole body was as limp as a boneless body. When he saw the fire, he struggled to sit down, but Yu Su stopped him and threw him away. Moving to a warmer place, he stretched out his hand and quickly unbuttoned his coat.

"Wow?!" The boy was stunned on the spot, and fell to the ground, trembling and covering his eyes, "What are you two doing?"

When he yelled like this, Duan Qingni was also embarrassed, and was awkward to prevent Yu Su from touching him.But Yu Su didn't care whether he was shy or not, and held his neck to keep him from moving. The move was quick and accurate, and he took off his wet and thick robe a little.

Duan Qingni immediately closed her eyes, her ears were burning red, even though she didn't dare to move more, her heart was scratching like rows of cat's claws.

Yusu looked down for a moment, and found a large bruise under Duan Qingni's ribs. The injury was not serious, and fortunately, it was a little bit away from the heart... Otherwise, the kick would have been fatal. .

For some reason, Yu Su suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Why didn't you say it just now?"

Before Duan Qingni opened his mouth, he felt Yusu's hand reaching forward, probably wanting to check if there was any internal injury.But Duan Qingni pushed him away in embarrassment, and stammered: "I've said it's fine, you, don't mess around."

As he spoke, he bent down to pick up the half-dry robe at hand, shook it and put it on.

Yusu didn't intend to look at it at first, but unexpectedly, when Duan Qingni did this, the lining next to his chest slid down a little, and Yusu caught a glimpse of the place close to his heart and slightly inward... there was a thumb-sized The black and blue spots, the cracks in between are blurred, and they are so faded that they are about to disappear.

In just a moment, Yu Su's expression suddenly changed.

No one is more familiar with the origin of this blue spot than him... Back then, he had gone through countless back and forth in Jingzhe Mountain Villa, struggling in front of the gate of hell, and even his internal organs became invulnerable to all poisons.

But the memory of being severely injured has not dissipated, and it still floats on the surface of the skin like a ghost—that is, those blue spots with cracks, which are no different from the same symbol of Jingzhe Villa.

"hiss……"

Duan Qingni hadn't put on her clothes yet, when Yu Su grabbed her wrist suddenly, the force was so strong that her wrist bones felt faint pain.

He turned around in astonishment, and saw Yu Su's expression was unpredictable, and his cold eyes didn't move at that time, almost staring into his eyes without hesitation.
