Official Edition Part Two Chapter Thirteen Seven-member Squad
The sea is smiling.
It is shaking under the blowing of the wind; a layer of fine wrinkles dazzlingly reflects the brilliance of the sun, and underneath it are thousands of silvery smiles.
Zixiu and I stood side by side on the bow of the boat and looked at all this. The boat kept moving forward through the wind and waves, taking us to a distant foreign country.
"Copper, why are you standing on the bench?"
"Heroes must stand side by side to gain momentum."
"By the way, as long as we escape to the sea and land, the pursuers will not be able to find us. Is this what you said?"
"Haha, that's right. The Taiyi Empire and the Tianren Dynasty strictly prohibited citizens from entering the East China Sea at the beginning of their creation. Of course, the kingdom's army will not chase them here."
"This girl is not asking you this."
"Which one are you asking?"
The right eye twitched, which is unlucky.
"What I'm asking is... is this - is this the ocean liner you found for me?" Before I could finish my words, I was flattened by her punch.
(The camera pans back quickly... long shot) A shabby little boat is swaying alone in the rough waves of the sea. There are two of us standing in front of the boat, and behind there is only a boatman rowing desperately, without even a sail.
.
(remember)
The deserted beach was silent except for the constant croaking of seagulls. After taking a deep breath, Zi Xiu and I pushed open a simple firewood door and walked in. Inside was a wretched boatman who was lighting a fire to cook.
Me: "Boatman, I heard you are the best in the village."
Boatman (putting down the blowtorch): "Haha, you know your stuff, sir. I am the king of the boat."
Zixiu: "Then can you take us out to sea? We have to leave the Eastern Continent and cross the Heart Moon Sea to the Western Continent."
Ship King: "Going to sea? The government has a ban. Besides, the ships here are all small boats."
Zi Xiu walked up to the Ship King without saying a word, then calmly took out a stack of banknotes and slapped the Ship King on the face. The Ship King didn't expect that he would be so humiliated, and his whole body became stiff. Suddenly, the surroundings were stunned.
Everyone fell silent, and the only sound that could be heard was the crackling sound of wood burning in the wood stove.
...Three seconds later...
The ship king happily counted the banknotes in his hand and said flatteringly to Zixiu: "For the sake of this girl, I will make an exception and go to sea once."
Zixiu: "Didn't you say the boat is small?"
Ship King: "Although a sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. Let alone a small Xinyuehai, it will have no problem even if it crosses the Pacific Ocean."
(end of memories)
Me: "Boatman, your boat is really good. It can sail so far away from the coastline."
Boat King: "Haha, this young man will tell you the truth, my boat has never lost in the Dragon Boat Festival rice dumpling competition."
Zixiu: "No, you are the king of the rice dumpling boat."
Ship King: "It's amazing, isn't it? The most beautiful girl in the village, Cuihua, gave me this award."
Zixiu: "Didn't you say that even if I gave you a wooden block, I could cross the Pacific Ocean?"
Ship King: "Girl, let me ask you, what is the most important thing about an ocean-going ship?"
Zixiu: "Speed."
Ship King: "Wrong!"
Zi Xiu: "Steering force."
Ship King: "Wrong!"
Purple Sleeve: "Maximum number of sailors."
Ship King (impatiently): "Wrong!"
Zi Xiu: "What is that?"
Ship King (confident): "Courage, a kind of courage that is better to die than to live in vain."
Zixiu nodded in agreement, but her face quickly turned gloomy: "Then what should I do if there is a storm?"
"Oops!" Zi Xiu's words seemed to remind the Ship King of something, and he slapped his forehead fiercely.
"Brother, have you remembered how to use courage to overcome the storm?" I asked curiously. But I saw him extending his hand to me enthusiastically, so I stretched out a tentacle and shook his affectionately.
.I didn’t expect this boatman to be quite polite.
Then he stretched out his hand to Zixiu again, but Zixiu ignored him, but retracted his hand warily, and gave him a disgusted look. He couldn't hold Zixiu's hand, so he could only shrug with regret.
Then he quickly took off his shirt and threw it on the boat, then stumbled into the water.
"Brother Boatman!" I thought he had lost his footing and fell into the water. He was lying on the edge of the boat and shouting anxiously. A few minutes later, he popped up his head far away, waving to us and shouting loudly:
"My friend! If you want to go to the west, the stars are the navigation landmarks." After saying that, he left us looking at each other and disappeared into the sea level again.
five days later
Zixiu and I lay on the boat in despair, looking up at the stars in the sky.
"Do you understand?" Zixiu asked.
"I don't understand." I replied.
"Zixiu, why don't you log out?"
"I'm afraid that if there's a storm after I log out, I won't even have the boat when I come back. Besides, it's a long night outside now, and I don't want to sleep."
"Zixiu, where are we now?"
"I don't know. I've just been floating on the sea like this, and I can't tell the difference between east, west and north."
"Haha, fortunately, in the Taiyi world, no one will die if you don't eat or drink."
"Thank you for being able to laugh. If this continues, we won't be able to go anywhere. We will only be trapped in this small boat."
"Zixiu, are you afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid! There are only three people I love most in this world. But one betrayed me and wanted to kill me; the other locked me up just for his shameless ambition..."
"Then you still have a lover."
"The last one..." Zixiu said this with such sadness: "He is indeed a very pure and gentle person... That's why I'm afraid of death... I'm afraid that I will never see the person I love again.
, I’m afraid that I will never remember the person I love anymore. Because he can’t remember me anymore..." Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh.
After a while, Zixiu suddenly closed her eyes and hummed a love song: "One day comes to three autumns, and half a month is like a thousand years. From summer to autumn to snowfall, there is no plan. Continuing to talk about lovesickness, there is no end to it. If you write
I cherish a period of sorrow and use the sky as paper." Zixiu's singing voice is like a gust of breeze, opening the sky and opening up the sad mind of a girl. Unfortunately, this girl goes crazy when she sings.
Maybe she wants to kill me...
But nothing happened next, so a faint sadness hit my heart. I thought of the indifferent Juan, and of the broken dream of the brave king. We are both fallen people in the world, so why should we know each other before we meet. Thinking of this
, I silently stretched out my hand and gently held Zi Xiu. Perhaps the warmth from her palms surprised Zi Xiu, so she opened her eyes and turned to look at me. Then she smiled, smiling so much
Very sweet...
"Copper, it's been so long, why haven't you logged out yet? It's quite boring here."
"Haha, I like to lie on the boat and watch the stars."
"Really."
I didn't answer, so the surroundings fell into dead silence.
After a while, I suddenly asked: "Zixiu, are you still listening?"
Zixiu didn't answer. I only heard her even breathing, and she turned out to be asleep. I smiled slightly, and then continued: "Zixiu, I am very sad now, because I have lost my goal in life.
It's like this little boat, drifting on the sea, not knowing where to go next." Naturally, she couldn't hear my words, but it didn't matter, because I was originally speaking to myself.
"So, you no longer have any nostalgia for this world?" This girl actually lied to me.
"Yes." I answered her very simply.
"Then you are still wasting your time here? You will die early and be reborn."
Hearing what she said, I looked at her in surprise and then replied with a smile: "I just feel that if I log out, you will be very lonely here alone."
Zi Xiu's hand twitched, what happened to her? Turning around, I found... Zi Xiu was crying.
"Zixiu, why are you crying?"
"It's not enough to be moved. You'd better not pay attention to others when they cry." What kind of logic is this? Girls are so weird. But I suddenly want time to stop at this moment forever, and then I can be with Zi Xiu forever.
Together.
However, my dream was soon ruthlessly shattered by reality. A big black ship appeared on the sea level.
"Pirate!" Zi Xiu stood up nervously and subconsciously touched the sun and moon wheels on his waist.
Hearing Sister Zixiu's exclamation, I quickly looked around. This time, I took a breath of air, because I saw the flying skull and crossbones flag on the top of the boat...
