"Master Jiu, I've had enough, I really have had enough. Sometimes I feel like I'm just an insect. Do you know why?" Ah Qi's voice was filled with tears: "I saw an insect on the beach.
In crawling, it's always a straight line, a straight line, just like me!"
When Ah Qi said these words, Luo Tian saw the same expression on many people's faces, which was helplessness. Ah Qi told the truth. The choices of their predecessors had made them fall into this kind of life, but Jiu Tian
Isn't what I said unreasonable? The outside world will definitely be curious about them. What this curiosity will bring is unpredictable, so the best way is to maintain the status quo and not change.
"Ah Qi, Miss Cheng is an outsider and my guest. She is innocent. Why did you choose her?" Master Jiu said: "I know the reason, because you grew up here, and all the people here have you
They all have feelings, so they chose Miss Cheng, an outsider, right?"
So that's it! Luo Tian and Shao Bing looked at each other, a little helpless. Cheng Zhen was really innocent to the extreme.
Ah Qi was touched by Master Jiu, and she shed two tears: "I just don't want to live such a life, I want to go out and see, just want to go out and see."
"You have one week every year to go out. Isn't that enough? Third brother!" Master Jiu called out, and the man in black who had just greeted them here stood up. He had a pair of eyebrows and starry eyes.
, is very handsome and tall. Judging from Master Jiu's attitude towards him, he seems to value him very much.
The third child stood up and said respectfully: "Master Jiu."
"Third brother, let me ask you, do you also want to live outside and leave this island?" Master Jiu's voice suddenly became much harsher: "Tell your truth, I don't want to hear you tell lies."
"Master Jiu, it's a lie if you say you don't want to." Luo Tian was surprised by Lao San's words. This Lao San really dared to tell the truth. How could such a character live outside? What's next?
San's words surprised him even more: "But, Master Jiu, I know better what I should do. People may be such creatures, living in contradictions. I have to suppress it. So far, I can still suppress it.
But I don’t know how long I can suppress it. I believe that this is not only my idea, but also everyone’s same idea.”
"Okay, you third child!" Master Jiu raised the crutch in his hand, as if he was going to hit the third child on the head, but finally put it down, and he actually laughed: "Okay! Very good! Old Seventh!
"
Although Lao Qi did such a crazy thing, he was still in awe of Master Jiu. He immediately responded. Master Jiu said: "Okay, you can survive today all thanks to Lao San. Put down your gun."
, you go!”
"Really?" Lao Qi couldn't believe what Jiu Ye said at all. His hands were shaking slightly, and on the other side of the gun was Cheng Zhen. Luo Tian was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. Jiu Ye said:
"It's true. I'll let you go out and take a good look at the outside world!"
Lao Qi suddenly fell to his knees with a plop. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Tian hurriedly rushed in, pulled Cheng Zhen to his side, and held her hand. Cheng Zhen looked calm on the surface, but his palms were all sweaty and slippery.
Suddenly, Luo Tian hugged her into his arms and immediately felt her heartbeat: "It's okay."
"I believe I won't be so unlucky. This is already the third time." Cheng Zhen raised his head and smiled innocently: "With you here, I can always avert danger."
"Don't believe in absolutes. You must avoid such a situation next time." Luo Tian's expression was profound: "I don't want to regret anything afterwards. I can't bear to lose it."
"This is the second time you have said such a thing." Cheng Zhen smiled and nodded: "I promise you, but this is not my decision. Luo Tian, we all have to be healthy."
Luo Tian nodded, looked at the old seventh man again, knelt on the ground and snapped at Master Jiu a few times, then quickly ran towards the beach. Looking at him, he looked like he was running towards a gold mine.
The third child looked at the background of the seventh child and sighed leisurely. The ninth master also sighed, but in a lower voice: "Go back, Mr. Luo, I'm really sorry today."
It was already dark at this time. After the day's torment, Luo Tian's stomach growled. He hadn't eaten all day. Shao Bing's stomach was not up to par, and he also gave a warning. Jiuye said
: "Look at me, I really neglected the guests. Third brother, please come with me."
As expected, he really valued Lao San very much.
In the car, the third child used the intercom to give instructions to prepare the meal. But a quarter of an hour later, when the five of them returned to the villa hall, they saw cold dishes already placed on the dining table. The third child said: "
We are a bit pressed for time, so the cold dishes will be served first, and the hot dishes and soup will be served later, so you can take your time."
After finishing speaking, Lao San stood aside, and Jiu Ye said: "Lao San, please sit down and eat together."
"Jiuye, this is inappropriate." Lao San said firmly.
"Sit down." Master Jiu said, "These two won't mind."
Luo Tian was also very fond of the third child and immediately agreed: "We are not from the island, so we don't have to adhere to the rules of the island. What's more, I wanted to thank you just now."
"Just sit down." Master Jiu said, "It's your fault if you continue to be stubborn."
The third child then sat down and said, "In this case, I would be rude."
"Actually..." Shao Bing said: "I've always been curious, and I didn't want to ask at first, but we somewhat understand what happened just now, but we don't fully understand it. Third child, you guys..."
The third child glanced at Master Jiu, who nodded, and then said: "Actually, we are passed down from generation to generation. Every twenty years, 60 people will be selected as guards. Among these 60 people,
Nine more people were selected as leaders, and the person in charge of the order of the entire island was selected from these nine people. As you heard, there are nine of us, sorted by age, from the oldest to the ninth. Just now
The one who left was Lao Qi, who is relatively young. Maybe because he was too young, he had many thoughts and was unable to control his behavior. Miss Cheng, what happened today is really unacceptable."
Faced with such a cautious apology from the third child, Cheng Zhen naturally didn't take it to heart: "It's okay. It's all in the past. There's no need to mention it again in the future."
"Then Master Jiu too?" Luo Tian said strangely.
"Back then, I was the ninth oldest person in the bodyguards. I used to be ninth, but now that I am older, I am called Master Jiu." Master Jiu said, "Selecting people from the bodyguards is not done every twenty years.
It’s relatively random. It mainly depends on whether there is a suitable candidate among the guards of this term. If not, if the order leader on duty has no problem, he can continue until a better one is selected. This is already the tradition of our small island."
