Pirate: Luffy's younger sister, Marshal of the Navy

Staring at Xiaoluo's incredible face, Ace smiled and said, "It seems that I haven't been frozen stupidly. Do you still remember me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you so close? Get out of the way!"

As she said that, she stretched out her hand to push the man away, only to realize that she was pressed down by a heavy quilt and two coats, as if "Taiwan was pressing down on her."

Do you want to crush her to death?

And Ace's hands were firmly pressing on both sides of the quilt, preventing her from getting up.

"???"

Ok?

What are you doing?baffling.

"Just lie here and have a good rest, and I'll get you something to eat."

Ace's tone was particularly gentle.

Even the look in her eyes became soft, and I didn't know if it was my imagination?

The two of them were very close, so close that they could clearly see each other's eyelashes, and Xiaoluo subconsciously held her breath.

"No, I have my own hands and..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ace: "Wait for me."

The man left these words and walked out of the room.

"Hey."

Xiaoluo came back to his senses and sat up immediately, only to see the door being closed tightly.

She didn't know how she met Ace again, but she was certain that Ace's purpose of coming here was for Blackbeard.

Boy, she thought she could get a head start.

I didn't expect Ace to be so fast.

Xiaoluo put on her coat and was about to get out of bed. She saw a bigger coat on the quilt. Thinking back to Ace's thin clothes, she could probably guess something.

Her cotton pants were folded neatly and put aside, and her shoes were dried.

who?So virtuous.

Ace?I remember that when he was a child, things were thrown around, let alone folding clothes.

Now that poor kid has grown up and learned to take care of others.

I can no longer look at him the same way I look at my "brother".

Not long after, the middle-aged uncle cooked a pot of noodles. Xiaoluo sat by the fire and ate bowl after bowl. She ate an astonishing amount and just stared at the uncle.

In the blink of an eye, a big pot of noodles was gone.

This is enough for him for several days.

Judging from the little girl's appetite, ordinary people might not be able to feed her. No wonder the young man had to go hunting in such a heavy snowstorm.

Seeing his uncle in a daze, Xiaoluo scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sorry, I'm really hungry."

In fact, she wanted to ask: Is there anything else?

The words came to his lips and swallowed again.

It's not easy for people living in this damn place, and it won't be good if it makes their already poor lives worse.

"Drink, want some soup?"

"Okay."

The uncle filled a bowl of soup for Xiaoluo and handed it to her. The little girl took it, blew it a few times and drank it boldly, making her body feel warmer and warmer.

However, she was a little worried about Ace.

It was dark outside, and from time to time there were sounds of "ghosts crying and wolves howling".

As soon as I opened the door, the wind blew in, bringing heavy snow with it.

With this strength, she almost blew away her small body.

"Close it. It's just right. Don't freeze it again later."

The uncle got up and walked over, pulling Xiaoluo back against the wind and snow.

"With Rabbit and Snow Bear taking him with him, nothing will happen. You young people are really inseparable for a moment."

Forehead?

Why does this sound a bit strange.

Xiaoluo didn't hesitate. She thought of something and asked, "Uncle, did you see a group of pirates passing by here?"

The word "pirate" made the man's pupils tremble slightly.

Soon, he calmed down and replied: "I didn't see it. No one often passes by here for a month or two."

"That's it."

Xiaoluo was dubious, then turned around and stood in front of the window looking at the heavy snow outside the house. He stood there for half an hour.

The middle-aged uncle usually goes to bed early and doesn't care about her.

After a few words of advice, he went back to the house and slept.

However, he was lying on the bed turning over and over, unable to fall asleep.

The uncle's name is Keding'e. He was once a famous pirate. He retired for many years and lived an ordinary life.

Unexpectedly, someone came to him two days ago and said they hoped he could join them.

Keding'e decisively refused.

But the man refused to give up and made it clear that he would be given five days to think about it and come back to him after they finished their work.

That matter has not yet been sorted out, and now a pair of young people appear to inquire about the whereabouts of the pirates. It can't be such a coincidence, right?

No matter how much he thought about it, Keding'e felt that something was fishy.

In the past twenty years of retirement, he basically did not buy newspapers or read them.

I don’t know what the outside world is like.

However, based on his countless experiences with people, the people who came to him before were definitely not kind.

If they don't do what they want, they may be killed.

Even if you escape, you probably won't be able to escape. They can all find it here. You can imagine how strong those people's investigative capabilities are.

Even if you go to the end of the world, they will find you.

After tonight, it’s better to send those two young people away first.

Xiaoluo stood in front of the window and waited for another half an hour. Seeing that no one came back yet, she couldn't wait any longer, so she returned to the room and picked up Ace's coat and went out.

The wind at night was much fiercer than during the day, so Xiaoluo moved forward bravely.

Leaving a row of deep footprints in the snow.

Keding'e, who couldn't sleep, stared at the little girl's back through the window.

Even though he knew there were risks, he still did not hesitate.

He suddenly felt a little emotional. It felt so good to be cared about.

Once upon a time, he had encountered such pure feelings, but unfortunately he was too young at the time and didn't know how to cherish it. He only regretted it when it was completely lost.

As a result, he lives in memories all his life.

Relying on the love for my first love, day after day, year after year.

"Ta Tata—!"

The ferocious rabbit and snow bear came running from the dark night.

Ace sat on top of it and saw a small figure in front of him from a distance.

It vaguely feels like small mud.

When he was really sure it was that person, he was pleasantly surprised.

Step on the rabbit and snow bear's head and jump over.

He landed one meter away from the girl and asked happily: "Little Niba, why are you here?"

Xiaoluo stood facing the wind, blinded by the wind and did not open his eyes.

She lowered her head and handed the coat in her arms to Ace: "I'm afraid you might die outside. You saved my life, so I'll treat it as repayment to you."

"So, are you... caring about me?"

The corners of the man's mouth rose unconsciously, and there was a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes.

care?

Xiaoluo was so shocked that she immediately opened her eyes and stared at him: "Why do I care about you? I, Xini Guxi, am..."

"He is a person who repays kindness, I know."

Ace answered quickly.

"I know, it's good to know!"

Seeing that the other party refused to take the clothes in her hand, Xiaoluo threw them into his arms.

Turning around, I originally wanted to walk back in style.

But as soon as he turned around, he was pushed by the wind. The road here was downhill again, and he couldn't stop the car.

The strong wind blew all her long hair forward, blocking most of her sight.

I thought I would be beaten to death.

Unexpectedly, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. After a moment of spinning, her whole body threw herself back.

Ace held her steady and the two stood face to face.

When Xiaoluo was confused, the man put his coat on her and said, "Then, will I have to save you a few more times?"

Xiaoluo didn't react for a while, blinking her long eyelashes.

what does it mean?

Ace knew she didn't understand, so he smiled and said nothing.

Since she is a person who must repay kindness, can't she be allowed to continue to repay it?
