Twilight is closing, dusk is approaching on the island, and the light before the darkness is always so warm and tender, making people feel reluctant to leave.
"Whenever the self-nature is, it is inherently pure; when it is the self-nature, it does not arise or die; when it is the self-nature, it is self-sufficient; when it is the self-nature, it is inherently unshakable; when it is the self-nature, it is able to generate all things."
Qiu Bailu read the Buddhist scriptures, closed her eyes and leaned against the tree trunk.
Her body was still uncomfortable, and her clamoring desires were like flames rising from the depths of hell, burning her soul. She could only persevere by getting some strength from the quiet and wise Buddhist scriptures.
Qiu Bailu was controlling the dosage of drugs she took. She deliberately delayed the time of each injection. She skillfully controlled her body and suppressed her desire for drugs without letting anyone see it.
She did it very secretly, so Luo Yan didn't know about all this.
He has his own business to attend to, and will leave the island in a few days to discuss his big business. On the surface, he doesn't pay much attention to Qiu Bailu.
But Qiu Bailu knew that if she moved bigger, Luo Yan would definitely notice it.
They seemed to have found a way to live together peacefully, but in Qiu Bailu's opinion, this method was just a foreshadowing for the next eruption. The two of them were like two active volcanoes, with the possibility of erupting at any time.
"A six-group altar sutra, you have been reading it for a long time." Luo Yan didn't know when he came under the tree. He raised his head, and Qiu Bailu happened to be looking for his shoes, and the two people's eyes were intertwined.
"Every time I read it, I find something new. Why are you back? Didn't you say you want to go back to China?" Qiu Bailu put the book behind her waist and wanted to jump off. Luo Yan grabbed her feet and stopped her.
Action, "You're not a monkey, why are you always climbing trees?"
"It's cool in the trees, and besides, Ben climbs a lot." She didn't tell him, because she could see higher and farther places while sitting in the trees.
"Ban is a child, are you also a child?" Luo Yan frowned at Qiu Bailu. He conjured a pair of shoes from nowhere and put them on Qiu Bailu's feet. "Don't always run around barefoot.
, if there is something sharp on the ground, you will be injured."
It's not polite to come and go, so Qiu Bailu bared her teeth at him.
Many times she felt that Luo Yan did not regard her as a woman, but as a girl, a girl who could be raised and taken care of by him and then belonged to him alone. Such an idea was somewhat strange to her and Luo Yan.
But after having in-depth contact with Luo Yan, Qiu Bailu felt that she could accept no matter how weird things happened.
She felt that she was like a symbol to Luo Yan. He loved her, and more to the point, it was through loving her that he came to love himself at a certain stage.
Of course, this was just Qiu Bailu's speculation. She didn't have the guts to ask Luo Yan directly. She was living a good life recently and her skin wasn't itchy. There was no reason to provoke the monster.
"I have something to discuss with you." Luo Yan said to Qiu Bailu hesitantly as he carried her down from the tree.
It's really strange that he actually used a consultative tone, and Qiu Bailu didn't make any special expression, "Oh? What's the matter?"
The oceanic climate is very humid. Qiu Bailu would take out her collection of books to bask in the sun from time to time when the weather was nice. While packing up the books on the floor, she said casually, "I've agreed to bake cakes first."
But I will never do it again.”
Last time, in order to punish her for deliberately giving him a few blows on the head, Luo Yan asked Qiu Bailu to bake bee cakes for a week, until she now felt sick when she smelled the cake.
Luo Yan chuckled, "It has nothing to do with the cake..." He paused and continued, "I want to take you back to Binhai."
Qiu Bailu lowered her head. She was not surprised. She didn't even show a smile. She just murmured and repeated Luo Yan's words, "You want to take me back to Binhai."
"Yes, it's my mother's birthday next month and I want to give her a surprise."
Does his surprise refer to her?
"I didn't expect time to fly by so fast. One year has passed like this." The last birthday party for Mrs. Luo seemed like just yesterday, but she didn't expect that things have changed. Qiu Bailu wanted to smile, but she couldn't raise the corners of her mouth.
He got up and said, "Oh, aren't you afraid that I will run away as soon as I return to Binhai?"
Luo Yan paused for a moment, "I'm really scared, that's why I discussed it with you. If you promise me not to run away or disappear, I can take you back. Xiaolu, is this okay?"
"Then what if I don't agree?" She asked deliberately, probably knowing in her heart that Luo Yan was asking this now, even if he was completely sure that she wouldn't be able to run away, and even if she said it, she would really run away.
, where can she run to?
It's really sad to think about it. The sky is so vast and there is no place for her to hide.
"If you don't agree, the worst I can do is I won't take you out again, but I believe you won't make such a small decision." Luo Yan replied with a smile.
So fake.
Qiu Bailu commented in her mind on his smile and said, "You believe in me so much. I really don't know what to say. To be honest, I have little confidence in myself. In fact, it doesn't matter to me whether I can come back or not."
It’s not a big difference, you decide for yourself.”
Hearing her answer, Luo Yan felt like it. It turned out that he had been planning for so long, like planting a dead seed, but now miraculously, it finally blossomed and bore fruit. There was no one else in her heart, she only relied on him.
Such a humble sense of satisfaction cannot be expressed to others, and there is no need to say it.
Luo Yan was in a good mood, and took great care of Qiu Bailu. He no longer restricted Qiu Bailu's freedom on the island, and allowed her and Ban to do whatever they wanted, causing chaos on the island and making people restless.
What is more important and rare than love is trust. Qiu Bailu doesn't know how much Luo Yan can believe her words, and she is not in a hurry to know the answer. She has plenty of time and patience. She believes that even if he leaves without her this time, Luo Yan will
He won't keep her here for a long time. He is so busy with his business and earns tens of millions a minute. How can he spend time with her on this isolated island? She can afford it, but he can't.
Without the ban, Qiu Bailu and Ban can go deeper and further into the woods on the island. Luo Yan can't keep an eye on her all the time, so someone makes a specially made anesthetic gun for her. If she encounters danger, at the critical moment,
Can save her life.
The second week before leaving, Luo Yan returned to the island early. This time, he did not talk to Qiu Bailu as soon as he came back. Instead, he mysteriously asked Qiu Bailu to stay in the wooden house and not come out. Of course, he did not make this clear.
expressed, but Qiu Bailu felt something was wrong from his words.
Qiu Bailu felt suspicious, so she slipped out when the bodyguard wasn't paying attention.
There are rolling mountains on the island. Although the mountains are not high, they are extremely deep. In the deepest part of the jungle, in inaccessible places, I heard that there are huge caves formed millions of years ago, but the route leading there is only passable by wild animals.
.
Qiu Bailu stood on the top of the tree canopy and saw a strong black man wearing a military uniform from an unknown country carrying boxes of long flat boxes, deep into the jungle like engineer mosquitoes. She didn't know what was in the boxes, but her intuition should be
It's a very dangerous thing.
The strong man who took the lead in talking to Luo Yan was very conspicuous. He was wearing a short-sleeved floral shirt, a big beard, and a red triangle scarf on his head. Qiu Bailu looked at it from a distance, feeling that the man looked familiar.
It seems that I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for the moment.
In a daze, the team had entered the dense forest and could no longer be traced.
Qiu Bailu got off the tree and was still thinking about the person's appearance. Unexpectedly, she was bumped into by Ban who rushed towards her to go fishing.
"Qiu, it's so hard." Ban complained while rubbing his painful nose and pointing at Qiu Bailu's chest.
Qiu Bailu patted his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How can you be tough? I'm not a strong woman with a broken chest."
Chest-breaking stone spoke in Chinese, but Ban couldn't understand it and looked at her with confusion.
Qiu Bailu was too lazy to explain to him. She suddenly thought of that man and how familiar he was with Luo Yan. Maybe Ban had seen him and knew the man's identity, so she described the big man's appearance to Ban.
.
After Ban finished listening, his eyes were a little wandering. Qiu Bailu called him a few times, and then he calmed down as if he had woken up, "Qiu, what did you ask him for?"
"It's just... I saw it in a picture album, and suddenly I can't remember his name, you know?"
Ban was silent for a moment, then squeezed out three words from his mouth, "Soros."
As soon as this name popped into Qiu Bailu's mind, she immediately thought of this man, Soros, the famous pirate leader on the Atlantic. Last year, he detained the crew of Country
There was a huge response and outrage. This man's face and his life were broadcast on the international news every day. She saw him in the media several times every day.
He is a pirate, doesn't Luo Yan hate pirates the most? How could the two of them get together? And they seem to be having a very happy conversation with each other?
"Qiu, do you know that person?"
"Well, I've seen it in the news before, it's a pirate." Qiu Bailu was still thinking hard and didn't notice that Ban's expression became excited and indignant.
"That's an executioner! A murderer! He came to the island with his accomplices and asked us to provide them with supplies. Every household must hand over grain and linen to him! If not, he will kill someone!
! His hands are stained with blood! Not only this island, but several nearby small islands have been blackmailed by him!" Ban yelled, looking like he wanted to bite someone.
Qiu Bailu became more and more confused, "But Luo Yan is with him..."
"Qiu, don't make wild guesses. Mr. Luo won't get involved with this kind of thing! Mr. Luo is a good man, and it was only when he led people to beat Soros away that we could live a good life. Qiu, I don't allow you to insult Luo
Sir's reputation." Ban said resolutely.
"But I saw..."
"You must have read it wrong!" Ban interrupted her impatiently, "Qiu, I don't want to continue talking about this topic with you. What you said makes me feel very unhappy. I originally wanted to go fishing with you, but it seems
