The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 554 The wind doesn’t stop

 It's useless for the shark to cry, because neither of them knows where they are going.

When sailing on the sea, without a compass, you can't identify the precise direction by looking at the stars. If you want to go back, you can't find the way back. You can only wander around aimlessly, hoping to find a more livable island and recover from your injuries. .

What's more, Sanniang looks majestic, but in fact it won't last long. Her ribs will hurt if she holds it for a long time. Even a man's kiss can't cure this. It simply cannot support long-term sailing on a shark.

Actually, the kiss didn’t last long. It was said to be “distracting”, but in fact, it was so good. The shark started to rebel within two kisses and almost knocked away the two people who were trying to shake the shark.

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

Zhao Changhe stood aside with his hands aggrievedly, you might as well pretend to be sick.

 Luckily, luck was not bad. Before Sanniang could no longer bear it, the heavy rain began to lighten up, the fog was not so thick, and there was faint light shining through the gray sky, and the visibility was getting higher and higher.

As the fog dispersed, another island appeared in the distance. It looks much bigger than the previous desert island, and there are trees.

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

 When you get closer, you can see that it is a coconut tree. The presence of coconuts means that water is coming. Coconuts can also be used to make various gourd pots, which are used in daily life...

Zhao Changhe was also ecstatic, and he felt like he was spending the rest of his life in darkness. People's mentality is very strange. They still continue to survive on the desert island, but they feel like they have been saved.

It's like living in a bridge cave instead of ten square meters. Even though we are still working on cattle and horses, it is already an improved house...

At this moment, neither of them thought that the more improvements they made and the more livable they were, the higher the possibility of being raped by a smelly pig.

The two of them couldn't wait to use their light skills to fly over the island and found a flat spot. Zhao Changhe immediately pulled out the dragon bird and went to chop down the tree excitedly.

 After all, it was Longque who took all the responsibility.

 Fortunately, this is a treasured sword that will never chip in thousands of battles. It will be no problem to chop down a tree.

Turning around, Sanniang saw that Sanniang had already prepared a pile of firewood, drained the water with her kung fu, and started a fire with a bang.

Zhao Changhe cut the wooden board with a bang, and asked curiously: "Where did you get the fire break?"

Sanniang said: "I can use the ring now that I have the energy."

“…You also have a storage ring.”

“Do you think you are the only one who owns this thing?” Sanniang smiled and said, “In terms of inheritance, your ring should belong to me.”

Zhao Changhe was stunned. Yes, his ring was from ancient Xuanwu. Uh, no, why is the ancient Xuanwu yours?

Sanniang grumbled and added more wood to the fire: "Forget it, I'm going to reward you, and there seems to be nothing wrong with using Xuanwu things for the room fire pig."

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using Xuanwu for the Fire Pig.

Zhao Changhe did not say this, but just split the wooden board.

Sanniang’s eyes flashed, and she suddenly disappeared into the trees behind her. When she reappeared, she had changed into her own clothes. The cuteness of the slim body wrapped in the wide coat disappeared, and was replaced by a robe that Zhao Changhe had never seen before.

The cassock is obviously the same as that of Suzaku, and it can be seen that it is the representative attire within their Four Symbols Cult. Different from the bright red of Zhuque, the black and blue of Sanniang are thick and serious, highlighting the silent majesty of Xuanwu.

Zhao Changhe twitched the corner of his mouth, lowered his head to chop wood, and stopped looking.

Sanniang smiled and tied her hair into a ponytail: "Why, isn't it very majestic?"

　　Yes, people rely on clothes, and it is really beautiful to wear them like this. However, clothes are majestic, and you are smiling like a Jenny, and no clothes can save you. She also wears a ponytail, how can she pretend to be young?

Having said that, the more majestic and serious it is, the more it reminds people of being naked in one’s arms and nibbling on it, making it look tempting at all events.

Zhao Changhe had reason to suspect that Guigui was tempting him. Otherwise, what kind of clothes would be difficult to wear? Why should he choose something that would make people want to get down?

 Forget it, get down to business.

Zhao Changhe was chipping wood boards to build a house, and Sanniang stopped disturbing him. She lit a fire, caught fish and shrimps, and picked coconuts, so she had a good dinner.

If outsiders are looking at it, it’s just a young couple dividing their labors and working hard for a happy life.

This is what the blind man thinks. It’s just that there is a ten-year age difference between the young couple. If you put them in a notebook, you can draw them as children driving a big car.

It is true that meat and vegetables are not taboo. You can do it if you are fifteen or sixteen, you can do it if you are twenty-eight or nine, and you can do it if you are over thirty. A rabbit can do it, a tortoise can do it too.

 Is it okay as long as you are good-looking?

 But having said that, there is really nothing incompatible in the scene. On the contrary, they look very matched. This kind of small life where one person builds a house and the other cooks is also very comfortable to look at.

Zhao Changhe's performance this time also made the blind man look at him in a different light. He is indeed very reliable. When he sent Yuanyang thousands of miles away, the nature was quite similar to this time, but he himself was still a little immature at that time, but now he has really grown up.

 So much so that the tortoise is already ahead of the hare.

The blind man knows that the tortoise cannot bear it... This kind of woman who has been troubled since childhood, no matter how heartless she looks on the outside, is riddled with holes in her heart. What she wants most in her dream is a home, a place that can cover her eyes. A person who stands out from the wind and rain.

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

She deliberately wore the robe of the Four Symbols Sect to show that she was a "superior" and to warn Zhao Changhe. It was also her own inner struggle to resist...but in reality it was so fragile that it might have been an aphrodisiac.

Ye Di's followers are afraid that they will be completely wiped out.

 The blind man touched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly made some small operations.

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

Zhao Changhe wiped his sweat and walked over: "I'm just worried that it's going to rain again, so I want to finish the work as soon as possible."

“I’ll ride with you after we finish eating.” Sanniang handed over a seashell: “Try it.”

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

 It’s like coming home from work and someone at home has prepared a meal waiting for you. Perhaps we all share the same sentiment. After wandering around the world for a long time, who doesn’t want to have a family?

Sanniang’s cooking skills are very good, and the food she bakes is so delicious...

"Is it delicious?" Sanniang kicked him with her foot, which meant "please praise me quickly".

Zhao Changhe couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, seashells are delicious, and so are turtles."

"Where is the turtle..." Sanniang woke up and smiled lazily: "Hey, I have recovered, you will have no chance in the future."

 Zhao Changhe did not refute, but lowered his head to eat.

Sanniang’s beautiful eyes were fixed on his face for a long time, and she didn’t say anything more, just eating fish.

After a long while, Zhao Changhe found a topic: "Since it's okay, let's talk about the Brotherhood of Thieves?"

This is how the couple chatted at the dinner table.

"What's there to say..." Sanniang muttered: "I'm in charge of making money in the Four Elephants Sect. I was a pirate, and I participated in the construction of a country. I can be considered an expert on how to trade and plunder. Ying Wu's Brotherhood Over the years, I have also turned to the business model, so there will naturally be intersections... However, when I met Ying Wu, I did not reveal that I was Xuanwu. I only said that an old friend came to visit later, and originally wanted to take advantage of him. They are very rich, and I and them No kiss."

Zhao Changhe said: "What happened next?"

"It turns out that Ying Wu is very loyal." Sanniang sighed: "I met Ying Wu and said that my mother passed away. Ying Wu was silent for a long time and said that he was the only one of their old brothers left, and the others were the descendants of his brothers. name. They said it was good that I came, as if they were all brothers again. Then they didn’t even ask me what I had done or what my abilities were, and they just made me sit in the third position and gave me very high authority. Let me access their information over the years and use the money as I wish. That’s what it means. I really don’t want to trick him, so I just use both identities without conflict.”

"The Fifth Master is indeed loyal..." Zhao Changhe said: "I think he actually knows your identity, but he doesn't care."

"Hmm... maybe, anyway, I am still acting in front of him, maybe he is having fun." Sanniang became a little unconfident, touched her chin and said: "This is not okay, only I can watch other people's fun..."

Zhao Changhe couldn't laugh or cry: "So you went to Huangshaji because you found clues about Xuanwu there from their information."

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

“I thought your purpose of going there would have something to do with the Hu people.”

Sanniang thought for a while: "Actually, there is...what, are you worried about Batu?"

"Well... Batu's military might be good, but the top combat power is not enough. If you come here again, once the Mobei army comes again, I don't know how he can handle it."

 “You just worry too much.” Sanniang groaned: “Let Tang Wanzhuang have a headache, and she didn’t let you play, so why are you licking her?”

Zhao Changhe glanced at her and stopped talking.

　　This is so sour...

Sanniang seemed to realize that this tone was wrong, and she hummed and stopped talking.

Now it’s true, any words you say can make the atmosphere very strange. When you talk about Ying Wu or Batu, you can get it wrong, but you still do it yourself.

Sanniang threw the fish bones into the sea angrily.

 …

 The night is getting darker.

 The sound of carpentry on the island became clearer and clearer.

 After dinner, the men and women worked together to build the pillars in Zhao Changhe, while Sanniang put in the planks.

The young couple were chatting enthusiastically, happily watching a small house gradually take shape. The sense of satisfaction simply overflowed on their faces. They looked at each other's slightly dirty faces and smiled like flowers.

It wasn’t until the two of them met and looked at the whole wooden bed together, and inadvertently raised their heads and looked at each other, that they both seemed to start to think of a question.

 Yesterday, under the cover of the stone slabs, there was really nothing we could do.

 And now there is a wooden house with a bed in it. A new house is being built and a bonfire is warming it up.

Is this the bridal chamber flowers and candles?

Even if it’s not, it can easily become yes.

 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 taking shape, we finally need to face this problem.

"You..." Sanniang gritted her teeth for a long time and finally managed to say: "I am the boss, you sleep on the floor."

Zhao Changhe lay down on the bed without saying a word: "I'm not in a good state of mind. I really can't stand it anymore and want to sleep. I don't have the strength to hurt you. What are you afraid of?"

Sanniang was suspicious: "Really?"

Zhao Changhe did not answer, but he was already snoring faintly.

He was really exhausted. He stumbled and fell when he was hunting sharks, and now he has been holding on for a whole day. It's good that he didn't faint during the process of building the house.

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

Sanniang hesitated for a moment, then finally lay down next to him fully clothed and closed her eyes. She also needed a rest. After a day of fatigue, her ribs were hurting 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 power. How can ordinary people with broken ribs be like her, who have been sluggish for a day and then beat up sharks with vigor and vigor? A few days of good rest is actually enough to go back. Ten days and a half are not needed...

While Sanniang was half asleep and half awake, a vague thought occurred to her - In fact, it doesn't seem to matter if she doesn't go back... It's none of my business if the sky falls.

 She turned around, hugged the human pillow next to her, smacked her lips, and slept soundly.

 The waves roared, and the night was silent.

 Far away on the sea, a fleet is sailing: "Captain, an injured shark was found in the distance... I suspect there may be someone in this sea area."
