"When are you coming out?" Little Lizi leaned his head against the wall, hugged the bag, and looked up at the night sky. A few stars were vaguely dotted next to the crescent moon. In his ears, he could hear the whistling wind and the laughter in the tavern.

Violet's voice, the voices of the pirates, the clinking of wine glasses...

In the tavern

"Okay, okay, the story ends here." Someone stopped the topic at the right time.

"Hey! Tell me one more thing!" Violet begged coquettishly, "Are you telling the truth? It's really amazing. Tell me one more thing."

Luke slammed the wine glass on the bar, pretending to be fierce, grinning widely and showing his big white teeth, "Hey kid, we are pirates, don't you worry, we will tie you up and sell you."

Violet was stunned, as if she had just come to her senses, and she asked nervously, "Then will you sell me?"

"That won't happen."

"Then I'll be relieved." Violet breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

Everyone in the tavern roared with shark teeth, "It's too early to worry!"

The man next to Luke said earnestly, "Kid, you are easily deceived, so be careful."

Violet patted her chest, the same as before on the street, "Don't worry, my intuition is very accurate, and Uncle Luke, you are not bad people, pirates are like you who look scary but are actually ordinary Are the people similar?"

It looks terrible, with three arrows stuck in the hearts of several people.

Ah, these words are so poisonous.

Luke covered his punctured heart and said, "You baby, you're really good at talking. You can kill someone with a knife without even a drop of blood on it. Also, I'm only 22 years old, why should I call you uncle?"

Violet's face was distorted, she couldn't believe Luke's age, "Hey, but you look like an uncle."

Another arrow.

"And I'm only seven years old, so you are all uncles to me."

Destroy the group!

"You kid, you are a cruel person." Luke squeezed out these words from his mouth, causing Violet to scratch her head in embarrassment.

"However, I no longer plan to be a pirate." Luke said lightly while holding the refilled wine glass.

"Then can I come and chat with you in the future?"

Luke endured the bulging veins on his forehead, "Don't you have anything to ask?"

Violet paused and said hesitantly, "But Luke, you don't seem to want to be asked this question, so I won't expose your scars. And I like you very much, so I consider you." In my mood, I decided not to ask!"

There are so many things I don’t know where to start. Luke had a dark look on his face, "It makes me feel even worse. You'd better stop talking."

"Then I will come to see you next time. I like you very much." Violet softly said touching words.

"Come if you like." Luke turned away his face proudly.

The others also welcomed him, "Hahaha, you are really discerning, I like you too."

"Hey, hey, why are these words so disgusting coming out of your mouth? Stop saying it."

"I'll tell you sea stories next time, it will be more exciting."

"..."

Violet jumped out of her high chair and waved goodbye to them.

When she walked outside the door, Xiaolizi had already greeted her. She stood up from the corner with her bag in her arms, her face full of worry.

"Are you okay? I've been waiting here for a long time."

"Why didn't you go home?" Violet felt warm liquid slipping through her heart. She stepped forward and patted Little Lizi on the head, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

"Tonight is the happiest day I've ever had. Not only did I meet you, Olizi, but I also met a group of very interesting pirates." Violet said with emotion, "It would be great if I could be like this every day."

Xiao Lizi looked at Violet with an envious expression and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything unhappy about Miss Violet?"

"Don't call me that, just call me sister Violet." Waving her hand, the curve of Violet's mouth slowly dropped, and her eyes were illuminated by the moon above her head and buried in shadow.

"It's not so much that I'm unhappy, but rather that I don't have freedom. You know, I ran out secretly today, and my family doesn't know about it. If they find out, I will be strictly prohibited from entering. You have to keep it a secret." Wei. Violet winked at her mischievously, and Little Lizi nodded solemnly, "I know, I will keep it a secret from Sister Violet!"

"You're so good. From today on, you are my sister. I will sneak out to see you when I have time." Violet made her own decision, "Very good, next time I take you to eat here is the best." Dessert bar! Although we don’t know where it is, we can find it.”

Walking on the street, one person is talking and another is echoing, and the atmosphere is exceptionally harmonious.

"Where is that place? It's pitch black." Violet suddenly pointed to a dark alley and asked.

Xiao Lizi tightened her hand and pulled her away from the alley.

As he walked, he warned very seriously, "Sister Violet, you must remember that you must not go in here. There are man-eating monsters inside. I heard adults say that some people never come out after going in. There must be something inside." It’s a man-eating monster, and it’s also the messiest place there, absolutely, absolutely not allowed to get close!”

The messiest place...

"A chaotic area?"

"Yes, yes, that seems to be the name. There are a group of fierce adults living there."

Violet thought of what Yalan Yaya and Lan Oost said. At that time, the trading club Yaya said was in the chaotic area. If what those people said was true, the people who did not come out after entering might be there. Inside.

That was obviously a very bad-hearted kidnapping with no moral bottom line.

Seeing Violet thoughtfully, as if she was very interested in the inside, Xiao Lizi hurriedly grabbed her wrist and persuaded her with a sullen face, "Don't go in because you are curious. If you go in, you won't be able to get out!"

Seeing that her eyes were red and about to shed tears, Violet quickly agreed.

"I won't go in, I'm just thinking about a question."

"what is the problem?"

"You won't know if I tell you. Go home quickly. I have to go home quickly too." She urged Xiao Lizi to go faster, while she muttered "What can't you drag yourself with?" leave.

After sending Xiao Lizi home safely, Violet watched her wave goodbye to her and then closed the broken wooden door.

Walking back to the original path, Violet walked to that place again. Looking at the dark and quiet alley, black shadows seemed to appear in front of her eyes. She stretched out her hands to pull the people approaching, pulling them into the shadows. .

Gritting her teeth, Violet quickly ran out of the civilian area. After sneaking back home, she found that Lan Ost and Renea had not come back at all. She was happy but felt a little disappointed at the same time.

After avoiding the servants and returning to the room, Violet took a shower and put on her pajamas, hiding the clothes she had changed. Then she came to the desk and looked at the picture of the sea painted with watercolors on the table. Draw a picture, use scissors to cut the edges until it can fit into the picture frame, then find an empty picture frame and put it on the bedside cabinet.

He took out a new piece of paper from the drawer and started writing.

If you send it to the Navy Headquarters, you should write your name. Remember Lan Oost said the name of the lieutenant general.

Violet thought for a while, took out the envelope, and carefully wrote on it "To Lieutenant General Garp of the Navy Headquarters."

After putting the written letter inside and sealing it, Violet planned to secretly deliver the letter tomorrow.

Violet thought about how this letter was delivered to Lieutenant General Garp. After reading it, he would definitely send a warship to investigate. By then, with the heroic and righteous navy here, mom and dad would definitely understand this. It was a mistake from beginning to end, no matter how hard she tried to persuade them to quit.

With an optimistic and naive attitude, Violet went to ask the messenger seagull the next day, carefully put the letter into the backpack on its back, and then tied it tightly.

"I wonder if you can deliver it to the Navy Headquarters. This letter should be delivered, right?" Facing the seagull, Violet said worriedly, if it cannot be delivered to the Vice Admiral, other navy members will also be able to deliver it. That's okay.

Seagull, who had sent countless letters to various sea areas, gave her a humane look and barked in protest of her doubts about its ability to serve the industry. Spreading her wings, flapping a few times and then flying towards the sky, Violet coughed in front of the fluttering feathers.

"Ahem, why is this messenger seagull so grumpy?"

Seeing the seagull flying farther and farther away until it turned into a small black dot, Violet felt relieved and walked back with brisk steps as if she had accomplished a big thing.

-

In the days that followed, Violet secretly ran to the civilian area while Lan Oost and Renea were out, and stayed with Olizi, Luke and the others.

After listening to more and more adventure stories, Violet also had the idea of ​​going to sea. Compared with being assigned to study every day and having no free time, she preferred her current life, with her sister (referring to Olizi). ) chatting and laughing, and listening to the "forgettable friends" (Luke and his party raised their fists) tell stories about adventures at sea, the creatures they have seen, and the islands they have visited.

Be free and unfettered.

The aristocratic life made her so depressed that she wanted to leave home.

"Luke, you are still so young, why don't you want to leave?" Violet asked one day.

Luke thought for a while before answering, "I have been going to sea since I was 15 years old. It has been seven years now. I have come back with nothing. The sea is too wide. There are many pirates, and there are even more powerful pirates. I don't have anything." The dream that I had to achieve is back.”

"Then if I want to go to sea, do you think it is the right choice?"

Violet also forgot what Luke's expression was like at that time, she only remembered that he said:

"Whether it is right or not cannot be decided by others. If you think it is worth it and don't regret it, then it is the right choice."

"As long as you are alive and free, you can do whatever you want."

Under the influence of these words, Violet gradually changed.

Time flashed to the age of eight. Violet, who had been grounded by her parents, curled up on the bed and counted the numbers secretly. The hands of the clock pointed to 6 o'clock. She opened her eyes and put on the vest and pants from before. This time she remembered to wear them. Hat on.

[A naval patrol ship will approach this coast today. It is estimated that it will leave at 7 o'clock tomorrow. There is only one chance. 】

There was only one chance. Violet's dark pupils were bright. She put the fire fold in the bag around her waist and sneaked out of the house while the adults were still awake.

When she came to the garden of love that her parents had built for her when she was a child, she threw her skirt that had been prepared in advance on the ground, poured it with gasoline, opened the fire cover, and the weak firelight illuminated her face, flickering brightly and dimly.

The garden is not connected to the Pavani mansion, so there is no need to worry about the fire jumping there.

Glancing at the window sill of Mr. and Mrs. Lanost's room, Violet threw the fire stick on the ground. Suddenly, the fire shot into the sky, and the sound of crackling branches and leaves also sounded. Thick smoke began to scatter in all directions, and some servants had already begun to be burned. Xun Xing called someone anxiously.

Violet took advantage of this chaotic scene and ran away. Through the thick smoke, the servant could only see the figure of a child swaying in the firelight. When he rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, the figure had disappeared.

"No, it's not good. Miss Violet is in the garden, come and save her!" Violet is the only child in the Pavani family, so the servant naturally regarded the shadow he saw in the garden as the little master. , began to call for people in panic, until the Pavani couple were awakened, put on their coats and came down to see this scene, Renya covered her mouth and was horrified.

"My Violet..."

The guards of the Guard were also called over to put out the fire. The choking smoke made Renia, who was holding her nose, wait anxiously. Lan Ost had a gloomy expression, and his appearance looked a bit scary in the firelight. , this caused the servant who wanted to report to the side to stop in his tracks. Out of pressure, he could only bite the bullet and go forward to report, "Master, the young lady is not in the room. The quilt is neatly folded and the clothes in the wardrobe are still there."

Lan Oost hummed to show that he heard it.

"Babasha, take a few people to look for her in the civilian area, and you'll have to catch Violet even after everything is turned upside down!"

"Yes!"

Pavani Lanost believed that it was Violet in the garden, but he never believed that she died in it.
