Chapter 14 3. Lest you be sentimental

After getting out of the cabin, a small door was pushed open, and it was pitch black below. I took out the torch and walked down the wooden ladder by the light of the fire, and a damp and damp smell came to my nostrils, mixed with various smells, which was very unpleasant. In the dim light, I can vaguely see that there are many things piled up in the bottom of the cabin. I can't help but think that if there are people hiding here, and they want to attack us, then extinguishing the fire in my hand will be a necessary prerequisite. At that moment, my right hand trembled, and the flame suddenly went out.

My heart was startled, and I only heard a "chirp" behind my ears, and the soft fire light spread again, as quickly as if there had never been a dark moment. I looked back, and saw Baili Chenfeng holding a torch in his hand, a pair of dark eyes, as sharp as they were when they first met, but when they met my gaze, they became warm and moist. Sure enough, he is worthy of being the number one expert in Baili City, and his adaptability is top-notch.As soon as my torch went out, he lit his. "I'll go ahead." He passed me. I stared at his back and silently put my fire folder into my arms.Whether Baili City is a friend or an enemy, it is actually hard to tell.Xiao Zuo was not included in this line of business, he was the only one from Baili City.In other words, if we are destined to be wiped out on the way, Baili City will only lose a number one expert, and the Gong family...

"What is this?" Baili Chenfeng suddenly turned around. I calmed down and leaned forward quickly. He pointed to several sacks in the corner, one of which was cut by him with a knife, revealing the curly and irregular filaments inside, exuding a faint fragrance. "This is Zhuru, a herbal medicine for clearing away heat and resolving phlegm." Baili Chenfeng let out an oh, no longer suspicious, turned around and continued to check other things.I reached out and grabbed a handful of bamboo rutabaga, and they slipped through my fingers like powder. If I told him that it actually had another, lesser-known use, I don’t know what he would think.

Either I couldn't open my heart after all, or out of innate defense, I chose to remain silent. When I turned around, I saw a pot of spider orchids on the wooden frame. It was obviously unreasonable for such a green plant to be placed on the dark bottom of the boat. Therefore, when I noticed it, Baili Chenfeng also moved towards it. walked over. I suddenly staggered under my feet, and my whole body suddenly fell forward, and my left arm hit a shipwreck heavily. When I struggled to sit up, I felt unbearable pain, and my whole arm seemed to be broken.Baili Chenfeng immediately gave up the pot of Chlorophytum and walked towards me, asking anxiously, "How are you doing?"

I shook my head and took his hand to stand up. "Really all right?" He wanted to smile to show that he was fine, but the pain came before the smile, and he couldn't help grinning and gasping. "He said it's all right, let me have a look!" He handed the fire bag to my hand, and couldn't help but roll up my sleeve to check the injury. Under the dim light, there was a bruise on my left arm. I was already pale, so It looks even more terrifying. This time it was him who took the air-conditioning. "Let's go back, there should be medicine in Xiao Zuo's place."

"Xiao Zuo—" I said a few words, then stopped, and seeing the questioning look in his eyes, I smiled slightly and said, "He seems to have everything." Baili Chenfeng nodded and said: "He is a wonderful person." This answer is so vague, but it is not what I want.So I simply asked directly: "Is he really the number one prodigal son in the world?" The firelight reflected Baili Chenfeng's eyes. I knew what I was relying on at the moment, and I also knew that a mistake might lead to failure. However, I was willing to take a gamble on whether he would tell me the truth.

"Miss Feng." After a long silence, Baili Chenfeng finally spoke, "No matter who he is, I guarantee that he has no malice towards the Gong family." I stared at him for a while, retracted my gaze, and changed the subject: "We've been down long enough, let's go up." Baili Chenfeng's answer gave me two pieces of information: first, Xiao Zuo is not the world's most prodigal son; second, his true identity cannot be disclosed. When all the rumors about a person in the arena are false, it means that he must have a plan, so Xiao Zuo, what is his plan?

Baili Chenfeng went upstairs first, and I followed behind holding up my skirt.There are twelve steps in the wooden ladder. At the tenth step, I suddenly slowed down, turned my head thoughtfully, and looked at the pot of orchids swaying in the faint light of the bilge. I don't like it. Since it grew up in such a dark place, why should it be so bright and affectionate? I turned back leisurely, but I just pulled back my hair on the sideburns, the orchids on the wooden frame had quickly withered. Baili Chenfeng turned around and stretched out his hand towards me, I handed it to him, and couldn't help but smile.The sunlight outside the cabin gently illuminated half of my body. At this moment, with a bang, the hull shook violently.

The huge explosive force immediately pushed me out of the cabin door. Fortunately, Baili Chenfeng had already held my hand first... I know that he will not let me go easily. Sure enough, an arm quickly came over and grabbed my waist, leading me to jump into the icy water, and then the world spun for a while, and the huge waves swept over me, as if to swallow me alive, but in the end At such a frightening moment, Baili Chenfeng's voice rang clearly in his ears: "We have encountered an enemy!" I turned my head in his arms, and saw the ship split from the middle and sink slowly.At noon, the river was dazzled like a golden light, twinkling and twinkling, flashing out the memories of a lifetime.For some reason, the corners of my eyes suddenly became moist.

While panting, Baili Chenfeng stretched out his arms to drag the nearest plank to us, and said, "Our boat happened to pass by an oasis on the water before we got off the cabin. If we swim back now, we should be able to go back in half an hour." swim there." "But—" I looked around, only to see the vastness of the yellow water, the sound of the waves, but no other people, as if there were only me and him left in the world, "I don't know what happened to Missy and the others... " "With Xiao Zuo here, she will be fine." He didn't seem worried. Could it be that Xiao Zuo is really so powerful?As soon as I thought about that, I saw Baili Chenfeng push the boat plank in front of me, and said anxiously, "Grab it, and I will pull you away!"

I bit my lip: "I can swim!" "I know you will, but with your physique, you can't swim far at all." I glanced at him unwillingly, but when I saw the worry in his eyes, my heart trembled inexplicably.In the confusion of my thoughts, I grabbed the floating board and obediently let him take me back to swim without further words. Feng Xiansu, he is voluntary, you are in the same boat, he has an obligation to save you, even without him, you may not die, you don't have to be moved... But in times of crisis, he is always the first one to protect me by my side, and it's just that he takes my frailty to heart and takes care of me everywhere.He is a caring person. So what about caring people, besides knowing that he is the number one expert in Baili City, what else do you know?Such obscurity is danger, Feng Xiansu, that is danger... I always reject people thousands of miles away like this, if I miss a person who treats me sincerely because of this, will I regret it? How can there be so much sincerity in this world, even if it is true, how long can it last?If you try to believe the truth, you will regret it!Wind Cellulose, you will regret it... I bit my lip desperately, so nervous that my knuckles started to turn white due to too much force. Impetuousness is my old friend, it always knows how to choose the most appropriate time to visit, especially at this moment, in the midst of the waves, already floating like duckweed without a trace, and after such a toss, I suddenly feel my heart beat and depression Unbearable, at this moment, a voice shouted: "Sister Xiansu!" miss!My whole body was shaken, like being poured with a basin of cold water in a six-dog day, it was cold from head to toe all at once, and all throbbing, restlessness, and random thoughts disappeared.Looking up, I saw a sheepskin raft coming slowly, one person was paddling with a sad face, and the other was sitting comfortably. Needless to say, the person paddling is Xiao Zuo, and the person sitting is Gong Feicui. I was still submerged in the water, and I asked with concern on my lips, "Is Missy hurt?" "No!" she said with a smile while pulling me onto the raft, pointing at Xiao Zuo and saying, "As soon as the explosion sounded, he... jumped onto the raft with me." I saw her blushing slightly, and thought for a moment, I already thought that she must have jumped into the raft by Xiao Zuo. Turning his head to Xiao Zuo, he said with a faint smile, "Then, I really want to thank Mr. Xiao for taking care of my young lady." "Bah bah! What are you thanking him for?" Before Xiao Zuo had time to speak, Gong Feicui had already answered the words loudly, glanced at Xiao Zuo out of the corner of his eye, and muttered, "What else did he say? There will be no action until the instruction is given, and the result is not a shipwreck.” "Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge so quickly..." Xiao Zuo muttered and said with a wry smile, "Do you think the explosion was caused by the water ghost?" Gong Feicui stared and said: "Isn't it?" "No." Baili Chenfeng said, "Only by exploding from the inside, can such a large ship be destroyed in an instant." I frowned, looked around and said: "But the water ghosts are all lurking underwater. There is no one else on the boat except Du Sanniang, her father and a few helmsmen. So who detonated the boat? Also, those people Where did you go? Why are you two alone?" Gong Feicui curled her lips and said: "What daddy, it's clear that she is dating, after the explosion, everyone fell into the water, and the iron riders are entangled with those water ghosts..." Maybe I was a little surprised by her eyes, Her face turned red, and she whispered, "I can't swim, and Xiao Zuo has a baby, so he left first." Seeing her ashamed expression, Xiao Zuo changed the topic and said, "Chenfeng, the boat passed by a water oasis just now, can you pay attention?" Baili Chenfeng nodded and said, "That's exactly where we want to go." "Okay, wait until we get there and then signal the cavalry to come. Without further ado, let's paddle there." Baili Chenfeng turned his gaze and saw me, "Miss Feng was hit by a hard object and hurt a little, where's your medicine?" Xiao Zuo looked at me with deep meaning in his eyes, "Director Feng...Miss Feng's complexion seems to be very bad." I was taken aback, why did he change his name to a girl?A strange feeling suddenly rose in my heart, sweet and sour. Rolling up his left sleeve, he saw red dots oozing from the original bruises. He was born weak, and a slight touch would cause damage, not to mention a heavy bump? Xiao Zuo let out a sigh of relief, shook his head half seriously and half jokingly said: "Chenfeng, you are wrong, you actually let Miss Feng suffer such a serious injury." Of course, it's not like you, who protected the eldest lady so well, not to mention bruises and bruises all over her body, not even a drop of water splashed on her.I smiled immediately and said, "I accidentally tripped while I was in the bilge, and it has nothing to do with others." "By the way, did you find anything in the bilge? I really don't understand how the boat exploded!" Gong Feicui asked. I looked at Xiao Zuo, then at Baili Chenfeng, and decided to tell the original discovery: "Well... Actually, we found something at the bottom of the cabin, but I didn't notice it very much at the time, and I didn't think about it until after the explosion. stand up……" "what?" I slowly said: "Zhuru." Gong Feicui was puzzled and said: "Bamboo Ru? It seems to be a kind of herbal medicine?" "It's herbal medicine, but—" I saw Xiao Zuo's eyes narrowed, and said in a deep voice, "It's also gunpowder." Yes, Zhuru, the necessary recipe for poison fireworks.Since there is bamboo in the bottom of the bilge, the gunpowder must have been buried long ago, but because I was injured, I didn't have time to find it. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help showing shame, and looked at Baili Chenfeng somewhat unnaturally.He looked at me and said in a low voice: "All of this is obviously carefully planned. Whether we can see it or not, we are doomed." "That's right, let's think about what to do next." Xiao Zuo said, standing up, "The oasis is here." I turned my eyes, but saw a piece of green coming towards me, and the sheep raft had landed.
