Alternative Jianghu Adventures

Yuan Mei struggled to get out of the crowd and clamped the door tightly with rags to close the door that was rattling back and forth due to the strong wind.

In the small cabin, more than a dozen people can be accommodated head to head and foot to foot.

After all, he is a seven-foot man in his prime, even if he is guarding two young children, it is still easy to fight for a space for three people among a group of old, weak, sick and disabled who have not had enough to eat all year round.

At this moment, he was returning to his corner, guarding the two little devils, cursing the damn storm in his heart-the ship became more and more bumpy, and all the refugees scattered on the deck crowded the cabin. The space that is not abundant is even narrower now.

"Can you bear it?" He cautiously asked the two brats curled up in his arms, trying to make his voice sound as calm and calm as possible.

Only Yuan Mei knew in his heart that he was also intimidated by the sudden change of the weather at sea.

The two brats buried their heads tightly in his clothes, Yuan Mei clearly felt shaking their heads and nodding from left to right.

——The boy who shakes his head is just saying his sincerity, and the girl who nods is just trying to be brave.

"Boom" is another thunder!

The two little guys trembled again in fright, and Yuan Mei could even feel that in sync with this shrinking movement, the sleeve on the left was wet a lot!

...Is this crying?

Not only the boys, but also the ordinary people in the cabin who have never been out at sea all their lives are in panic all day long. Those who are a little more courageous still barely maintain a pale panic, and those who are timid have already begun to cry!

Yuan Mei looked at the little boy carefully, and sighed heavily, two hands were held on one left and one on the right, even if it seemed to be comforting, it seemed so powerless - not to mention that his own lips were all white.

Next time, I will never go to sea again!Even if the owner of the valley ran to the front of the order in person, it would not work!

Yuan Mei thought so, and secretly made up his mind.

"That day... the palace... the house is also like this..." The little girl gripped Yuan Mei's sleeves tightly, but she didn't cry, her voice was muffled by the cloth.

She said: "The fire is everywhere...the ears are full of crying...blood...red..."

The voice was intermittent, and even a few simple words could easily outline pictures in Yuan Mei's mind.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But Yuan Mei knew clearly that language is much weaker than reality at this time.

"Your child is quite courageous! There is such a loud thunder that the ninja will not cry...much better than these cowards next to him."

A strong man stepped across the crowd and came to Yuan Mei - he was one of the three Jianghu costumes he met on the deck earlier.

Yuan Mei guarded the two children calmly, showing the cautiousness and pride that a "fleeing drug dealer" should have on his face, "Thank you for the compliment... my younger brother and younger sister were afraid of life since childhood, and if you look up to a hero, don't blame the child for being rude. "

"What are you talking about? Children, they are all like this. The children in my family are also very shy, so they don't get in the way." The strong man nodded in understanding, still holding the pair of sun and moon wheels in his hand, he vacated With one hand, he took out a yellowed oil-paper package from his bosom and handed it to Yuan Mei in a daze.

Yuan Mei wondered, "What is this?"

Just as he was talking, he had already opened the oiled paper bag in front of the visitor—it was a whole bag of nougat.

"This……"

"I think the child is also quite afraid of this terrible weather. He just brought a bag of candy with him, so you can take it." Although the big man is big and thick, he smiled kindly.

Yuan Mei, who felt that he was "taking the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain", was slightly taken aback, subconsciously worried that this was also a trap, and quickly declined: "Hero, you are too polite...We..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the strong man, "If you tell you to accept it, you will accept it. You are just being polite!"

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then took out a piece of sugar and put it in his mouth, "...I was too impatient before, it's good to be cautious when going out...but I saw your child is so cute , I can’t help but think of the two children under my knees. This trip will take more than half a year. This candy is also a child’s favorite, so I always carry it with me. If you still don’t believe me, this full bag of candy is free to choose. I tried it, and I couldn't take the ecstasy."

Yuan Mei, who was born in Baicao Valley, naturally judged that the bag of candy was very normal in the hesitation just now. This time, seeing the strong man's words are sincere, and looking through the boys and girls, his eyes are full of longing for his family, and he gradually let go of his guard. .

He politely took the sugar packets, first tasted one for himself, and then stuffed one in each of the two children's mouths after double-checking.

The boy stopped sobbing quickly under the comfort of nougat, Yuan Mei heaved a sigh of relief like an amnesty, and glanced at the strong man gratefully—but the man had already slowly returned to his original position, Yuan Mei's direction nodded friendly.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that the little girl on the right was secretly spitting candy into her palm, and looked at him with big wet eyes, "Is this candy edible?"

Naive, confused, hesitant.

It is obvious that the three completely different emotions are mixed together at this time, and it is not abrupt.

"When they gathered people together, they tricked us children to go there with delicious food." The girl stared blankly at the nougat, "When the fire just started, we were still eating pastries."

Trust is innate, but once it is broken by foreign objects, it will be difficult to regain the original innocence.Even if it is picked up and put together, those dense tortoise patterns show fear and doubt all the time.

Yuan Mei sighed and rubbed the little girl's head, "Ah Hua, you shouldn't be blinded by that night for your whole life. It's true that you have many intentions when you go out, but you can't do nothing. You have to use your eyes to judge Goodwill and malice, rather than being bitten by a snake for ten years and being afraid of well ropes."

Ahua was depressed for a while, then slowly put the sugar into her mouth, a trace of sweetness spread along the tip of her tongue, which made her feel better for no reason.

After a while, she tilted her head, looked at Yuan Mei and continued to ask: "Then, brother, are there so many good people in Jianghu?"

Yuan Mei smiled, but did not answer directly, "There are many bad people in Jianghu. How can there be such a distinction between good and bad? If everyone can distinguish between good and bad, then the world will be peaceful."

A Hua blinked her eyes half-understood. Seeing that she seemed to want to continue asking, Yuan Mei immediately covered the little girl's mouth with nougat—this little girl is not very old, but she always asks some unanswerable questions. question.

Has the emperor's blood been so sharp since he was a child?

Thinking of this, Yuan Mei couldn't help but glanced aside at the boy who had fallen asleep, smiled wryly and shook his head—it seemed that A Hua was indeed an exception.

Such a temperament, as a child, is naturally quite distressing, but she was born in the emperor's family - she can vaguely see the emperor's spirit when she grows up in the future.

how...

But it's a girl.

Yuan Mei sighed secretly, if the temperament of these two children could be changed?In that case, even if the young emperor dies, there is still power in this world!No way!No way!

Just thinking of this, Yuan Mei felt a violent sway of the ship, and then a violent shock—it actually stopped!

Terrifying thunder and pouring rain poured down!

Qiao Anyue was drenched in the short distance from the interrogation office to her and Xia Yun's cabin.

She unhurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood that hadn't been cleaned up, and as soon as she opened the door, Xia Yun said sarcastically: "The clean clothes are on the bed, after changing, drink the ginger soup on the table. "

Qiao Anyue was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Xia Yun was talking to herself.

She raised her eyebrows unconsciously, feeling that although someone was extremely restrained, the dissatisfaction emanating from his body would almost fill the entire cabin.

"I got the news, the pirate's location is in the southeast..."

"You can shut up after telling Cheng Zhe, I'm not interested in knowing these things."

Before Qiao Anyue could finish speaking, Xia Yun interrupted her.

Qiao Anyue was silent.

It seems that someone is very angry.

She pondered for a moment, then slowly changed into dry clothes as she said, drank all the hot ginger soup, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief in an orderly manner, and finally said:

"This ginger soup has too much sugar."

Xia Yun: "..."

"Also, the cuts of the white onion are not even."

"It's good to have something to drink, and I'm still talking here and there!"

"The ginger slices are also cut thick, and the sweet and spicy taste is too much."

"Believe it or not, I'll throw you out of here!"

"You're angry."

As soon as Qiao Anyue said this, Xia Yun's grinning expression froze for a moment, then turned his head away in a muffled voice, without saying a word.

"You're not only angry with me." Qiao Anyue said firmly, sitting on a chair and using a wooden spoon to fiddle with the sliced ​​ginger in the bowl, feeling that the root of her tongue was numb from the spiciness of this strange bowl of ginger soup. The sweet smell almost soaked her internal organs from head to toe, and she kindly crushed someone's heart and spread it on the surface, "You're still mad at yourself."

"You think I shouldn't be used by Lan Sang, but you realize that your idea of ​​protecting me is essentially the same as Lan Sang Gao Shiyuan. You want to stop me, but you don't want to stop me, Si Lai If you want to feel incomprehensible, shut yourself here and sulk."

Qiao Anyue asked slowly, "Am I right?"

"Have you asked Lansang?"

"She took the initiative to find me."

"That eighth woman!" Xia Yun gritted his teeth.

"Xia Yun..." Qiao Anyue was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xia Yun's hand, "Stop talking."

Xia Yun took a deep breath, and suppressed the blue veins protruding from his forehead, "This is not your problem... It's my fault... I just can't get over it, please let me be quiet, and I'll be fine after a while."

No matter how you say it, Qiao Anyue is free to do whatever she wants, whether it's a knife in someone's hand, or fish on a chopping board, it's what it should be.Even if Xia Yun was unwilling, it was not the reason why she could interfere with Qiao Anyue's choice.

Rationally speaking, it all makes sense, but Xia Yun just can't get over this emotional hurdle—she always subconsciously sees Qiao Anyue in front of her as the helpless Yue'er 12 years ago, and feels that Yue'er should be protected by her as it should be... How could such a simple child see such dark and dirty things?Although she often forgot that the suffering experienced by the person in front of her was not inferior to her, but she just couldn't control it!

Qiao Anyue unconsciously showed a trace of helplessness, "Xia Yun, listen to me."

"I can be said to be the most idle person along the way. I have no purpose and no need to intervene. I just walked such a long distance with you inexplicably. Cheng Zhe was kind to me in the first day of junior high school, whether it was entrusted by others or just a little effort. Forget it, I accept my love both emotionally and rationally."

There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "I am useless, I am very happy to be able to help."

Xia Yun raised his head suddenly after hearing this, "What did you just say?!"

The expression on Qiao Anyue's face was fleeting, and when Xia Yun looked over, it was the same indifferent face as usual.

"Happy?" Xia Yun was shocked, and couldn't help pinching Qiao Anyue's cheek, "Did you smile just now? Did you? Didn't you!"

The depressed mood just now was swept away with the last sentence - Qiao Anyue's words seemed to give Xia Yun a reassurance. She originally blamed herself for letting "Yue'er" fall into darkness, not only Just this incident, including the whole 12 years, she felt that she made Yue'er become like this.

But Qiao Anyue's words brought her back to reality immediately - no matter what, Yue'er had already become a thing of the past, no matter how much she blamed herself, it would not help the reality.But now, Qiao Anyue, who has become a drama star, said the word "happy" herself, how could Xia Yun not be overjoyed? !

Qiao Anyue nodded expressionlessly, and stretched out her hand to shake off someone's claws, but unfortunately her internal strength was lost, and after struggling, she could only let someone continue to do whatever she wanted.

"I knew it! You must still have feelings! Come on! Smile again like just now!"

Qiao Anyue was silent, "...I... can't do it."

The subtle emotions just now were on the verge of breaking out, and the so-called love born from the heart is not unreasonable.But now that that moment has passed, I don't feel anything anymore, as if the moment when my heart beat just now was a beautiful illusion.

Xia Yun froze for a moment, then forced a smile, "That's it...it doesn't matter, everything is difficult at the beginning, there will always be a second time."

"Yeah." Qiao Anyue couldn't bear to dampen Xia Yun's enthusiasm, so she could only nod obediently, "Actually, I don't understand. Xia Yun, why are you so... nice to me? Even if it's a family that gets along day and night, there are precedents of fratricide. Even if you are a friend, there are few people who can do what you do. You have no intentions. Before you said that you regard me as a close relative and a close friend. Shen Feiwei has a similar experience with me. Looking at his behavior, it seems that you treat me the same He's a little bit different."

Qiao Anyue was puzzled, "What do you take me for?"

Xia Yun was taken aback by Qiao Anyue's question—in her limited mind, she had been thinking about finding someone for 12 years. As for the so-called Shen Yuan Pavilion, the so-called family and country, and the so-called morality, they were all incidental. .After finding someone, she focused on changing Qiao Anyue's perception of herself, but she really didn't think about it.

She opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.

When he was hesitating, he felt the hull of the ship shake suddenly!

"What happened?" She hurriedly shifted the topic to the side.

Outside the cabin came the sound of sailors running around.

Immediately, the cabin door was knocked open by the first day of the junior high school, and Cheng Zhe rushed in pushing a four-wheeled cart in the rain, straight to the point.

"The boat crashed!"

The author has something to say: It can be said that this kind of emotion is very subtle... And, I really don’t know how to write emotional lines, so I changed the name of the article to change my mood
