A flash of surprise flashed across Dao's dark and thin face. He turned to look at Feng Lian, as if he wanted to ask for his opinion.
Feng Lian gently raised his eyelids, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. This island was remote, and someone was obviously passing by. Even if the caravan was supplying supplies, it would choose Liudao, which is dozens of miles ahead, and would never stay here.
.
Hearing what the guard said, there were quite a few people coming to the island. He was curious and wanted to see who was coming, so he nodded and asked Dae to invite the people in.
"Let them in."
Feng Lian's identity could not be exposed in front of others, so he and Jiang Ru went to the inner room. The houses here were made of earth and stone. Each house had a square window covered with a curtain made of leaves.
You can't see what's inside from the outside, but you can see the outside clearly from the inside.
Jiang Miao and Jiang Xuan got off the boat. Liu Meng and Chen Liu walked in front of them. Chen Liu knew the language of the island, and he was responsible for communicating with the guards on the island.
The appearance of Jiang Miao and Jiang Xuan amazed the people around them. Compared with this group of aborigines with sallow faces and skinny muscles, although they had not taken a shower or changed clothes for a long time, they looked sloppy, but their fair skin and the trousers they were wearing were all the same.
These are things the aborigines have never seen.
"Ula Ula..."
Everywhere the two passed by, there was a burst of exclamation.
Jiang Miao originally thought about taking a shower and changing clothes, but when she saw the appearance of the indigenous people on the island, she immediately gave up the idea.
They are already outstanding enough, and if they restore their original neatness and beauty, they will probably cause trouble.
After Jiang Miao whispered her thoughts to Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan was frightened for a while and reached out to pull the scarf on her head.
"The princess is right. Should I wipe my face with dirt? I washed my face this morning. Will it be too clean?"
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. After what happened in Li County, Jiang Xuan knew the horror of being coveted for appearance. She would rather be dirty and ugly than see the man's leering eyes.
Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps all over her body.
A few people entered the leader's house under the curious eyes of the aboriginal people. Dae was already sitting in the room waiting.
Although it is the leader's house, except that the room is a little larger than that of ordinary residents, and there are decorations such as shell straw on the wall, there is no other difference. In the eyes of Jiang Miao and others, they are all equally shabby.
Jiang Miao withdrew her eyes and listened to Chen Liu and the leader Dao talking about their purpose of coming. Dao nodded expressionlessly and looked around at the few people. When he passed by Jiang Miao, his eyes stayed on for a lot longer.
As the leader of the tribe, Dao naturally has no shortage of women. She has three wives. These wives not only satisfy his desires, but also help with work. Women on the island have no dignity or rights and are completely vassals of men.
He saw Jiang Miao and the others following Liu Meng, and thought they were all Liu Meng's women. Their narrow eyes showed desire, and their attitude towards Chen Liu was a bit kinder.
Inner room.
Jiang Ru saw the people in the room through the leaf-woven window, her eyes widened instantly, and she almost screamed.
"Why is it her?"
"You know him?"
Feng Lian was also paying attention to the outside. He saw that these people were dressed well and spoke well. Although Dao kept talking to the man in front of him, Feng Lian could see that the beautiful woman in the middle was their master.
There are only a few women who go to sea, and there are only one in ten thousand who can be the leader of everyone. He is very curious about this woman's identity.
Jiang Ru actually knew her, and Feng Lian took the initiative to talk to her for the first time.
As expected, Jiang Ru was flattered, and regardless of her identity being exposed, she spilled the beans like beans.
"We know her. Speaking of which, she is still my sister."
Jiang Ru's feelings towards Jiang Miao were very complicated. During the years when Jiang Miao disappeared, she regarded herself as a noble daughter of the general's palace. Although she was a concubine, because Jiang Zhe only had her daughter, no one in the capital supported her.
But when Jiang Miao came back later, everything changed.
She is no longer the object of noble ladies' pursuit. Jiang Miao's existence always reminds her that she is just a concubine, and she will never be on the stage no matter how hard she tries.
She wanted to adopt the eldest princess, but she was not allowed to enter the eldest princess's palace. She wanted to enter the palace and marry the emperor, but Zhao Jing only liked Jiang Miao.
Jiang Ru knew that it was not Jiang Miao's fault. The two of them had not interacted much and Jiang Miao had not done anything to her. But Jiang Ru was just jealous. Those things that she had calculated not to get for many years were easily obtained by Jiang Miao.
Jiang Miao just stood there, and Jiang Ru couldn't tolerate it.
"elder sister?"
Feng Lian raised his eyebrows. Although he had worked with Tuoba Mingge for three years, Feng Lian didn't know the identities of these people, and he didn't care.
He has been wandering in this sea for so long that he feels that nothing can interest him. Although Tuoba Mingge and Jiang Ru are a little stupid, they are more interesting than the stupid people on these islands. This is also
The reason why he was willing to stay under Tuoba Mingge for three years.
He is just too lonely.
But at this moment, Feng Lian looked at the woman outside, with a rare expression of interest in her eyes. It was the look of a child who has found a new toy.
Jiang Ru didn't expect that Feng Lian would be interested in Jiang Miao. She had been pleasing the man for so long, but was seduced by Jiang Miao again. Jiang Ru felt as sick as if she had eaten a fly.
But Feng Lian took the initiative to talk to her, and Jiang Ru felt happy again. She suppressed the jealousy in her heart, raised a smile, and wanted to show her best to Feng Lian.
But she didn't know that in the past few years, her skin had become rough and yellowish due to exposure to wind and sun on the island. She had aged ten years and was no longer the pretty and lovely young lady she was before.
Feng Lian turned his head and didn't even look at her. Jiang Ru's expression froze, embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and she lost interest in talking.
"Well, she is the cousin of Emperor Dayan. She came here suddenly. Could it be that something happened to Dayan?"
As she spoke, there was more gloating in her eyes.
Feng Lian ignored her, silently reciting the words 'Princess Dayan', and looked at the woman outside.
Most of the news at sea came from passing ships. He didn't know about Jiang Miao's deeds. He only heard the name of Princess Dayan and knew her noble status.
Feng Lian curled her lips, "Interesting."
No matter what the purpose of Princess Dayan was, he wanted to go and meet him for a while. There was finally a lot of fun in his boring life, how could Feng Lian miss it so easily.
Jiang Miao felt eyes falling on her. She looked up and saw only the thick grass-leaf windows. The sunlight fell through the gaps on the wall, casting a patch of light and shadow, and nothing could be seen clearly inside.
She felt more vigilant. This island might not be simple. It would be best for them to leave as soon as possible after changing supplies.
