The cabin after the fire was cold and damp, and the smoky smell of dead wood made people breathless.
When the smoke cleared, faces blackened by soot were revealed in the moonlight, and their eyes were almost all squinted, unable to see anything temporarily.
Yan Xiaoqing sent a speedboat over at this time. Seeing that the guards of the Yan Kingdom were about to board the boat, I ignored Yan Xitong's inquiry and said loudly: "Everyone, leave quickly."
Liuchi reacted the fastest, pulling up Hei Po and Huo Qilin and flying away from the damaged ship.
After hearing the news, Pei Si took one of the Osmanthus fragrans and quickly returned to the shore.
As soon as we landed, we ran without end.
Behind him, Yan Xitong's call came from a distance: "Changting... where are you?"
He shouted so loudly, but I didn't dare to answer, I just pretended that I couldn't hear him.
…
After a simple night's rest, I took off the wet cloth from Liuchi and Heipo's eyes and carefully asked, "How are you? Do you feel better?"
There are dark clouds outside, and there will be a snowstorm here soon. Occasionally, the wind blows, and the withered grass next to it sways.
Hei Po and Liu Chi tried to open their eyelids, but luckily there was no sunlight. After a while, the two of them could finally see.
Seeing that their eyes were fine, I relaxed.
"Why did this boat burn?" I asked.
"It was Yan Lanfeng who set the fire. He wanted to use fire to resist us, so Huo Qilin fought against him. Unexpectedly, the boat caught fire." Hei Po replied innocently.
I wrung out the handkerchief and handed it to them. Look at these dirty little devils, they are so black that you can’t even see the color on their faces.
Liu Chi took it casually and wiped his face gently. Seeing me looking at him, he couldn't help but laugh: "What are you looking at?"
I quickly lowered my head: "Nothing."
The senseless guilt makes me dare not face this man. No matter now or in the past, he has always given the most, but I can't give him anything in return.
I stood up and walked out of the cave. The cold wind blowing in my face made me sober.
Yu Xiayan, I love and hate him at the same time.
How deep this love is, how strong the hatred will follow.
I often wonder why none of us are willing to take a step back? Do we have to go so far?
When I saw Zhao Kou and the others in the Xia Kingdom military camp, the emotions that were about to stir in my heart were like huge waves beating at my heart. I felt like I was going home!
But I can't.
Looking back at everyone with disgraced faces, I let out a long sigh. Now that I carry Anguo and the fate of the Wu clan on my shoulders, how can I still be as unscrupulous as before?
We had just had lunch at noon. The prey was hunted by Huo Qilin and Osmanthus osmanthus. It was a very beautiful sika deer, which probably came out to find grass.
When I was killing it, I saw Hei Po secretly praying aside, as if begging God not to blame them for killing.
I couldn't help but become curious: "What? Did the Wu tribe not eat meat in the past?"
Hei Po looked confused: "Eating meat will produce evil thoughts. At that time, Ao Ying ate too much meat, which is why he had the idea of invading the Five Kingdoms. We have never eaten it."
"Do you believe this?"
"It's what the elders said. I don't know. Anyway, I haven't eaten it as long as I can remember. This is the first time."
Thinking back carefully, it seems that this is really the case. Every time he went to the palace banquet, Liu Chi only ate vegetables and fruits. He had never eaten meat.
