ride on the back of a dragon

Hill remained equally calm.

Compared with her frizz and curiosity, the other party seems to be well-informed and always seems to be familiar with everything, which makes Carat often feel embarrassed because of her fuss.

Just like now, Carat got the answer he wanted, but he was a little overwhelmed with embarrassment. He felt his skin from head to toe burned.On the other hand, Hill still wrapped a clean bandage for him without any haste.

"That, that...we..." Carat just asked in a flash of excitement, but now she didn't know how to continue.

"Huh?" Hill raised his eyes with interest.

"It's nothing, how did we get here?" Carat racked her brains and finally found a question like that.Originally, he just wanted to ease his embarrassment, but Hill suddenly fell silent.

"... Hill?" Carla looked at the smile in Hill's eyes suddenly faded, then drooped again, and the black eyelashes covered most of the green.He knew that Hill had some secrets that he had not told him. In fact, until now, he still seemed to know nothing about Hill, where he came from, where he was going, where his family was, what relatives he had, and Fleur. What is the relationship, why have a phoenix friend.It's not that Carat is not curious at all, on the contrary, he is too interested, but he always feels that there must be a last resort for Hill not saying anything.

"You have a good rest first, I... will tell you later." Hill tucked up the quilt for him, turned and left.

"Wait!" Carat stopped him: "Where are you going?"

"I'm next door," Hill said. "I can hear you if you call me."

I don't know if it was because of the itching of the wound healing, or because he had slept for a few days, Carat was not sleepy, staring at a piece of night sky by the window in a daze.Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he hasn't slept alone for a long time. This room is empty and lifeless, unlike his own room in Chuyue City, where every corner is crowded with odds and ends. .At that time, he instinctively wanted to make the room more lively, as if this could resist the desertion in his heart.He never felt sorry for himself, never thought that he was so eager to have any bonds with other people, he could be happy alone, if he didn't meet Hill.This person made him realize that he was not alone, and he never wanted to go back to the old days.

"Hill." He moved his lips.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and the thin figure leaned lazily against the door: "Call me?"

"I don't want to sleep alone," he said.

Hill turned around and hugged the sleeping Fleur from the next door and put her on the pillow next to Kara, then turned back and dragged the whole bed directly from the next door.Fleur's body temperature was very high, and the room took two extra breaths, which made Carat's heart lively.He closed his eyes in peace and didn't think about anything else.

Opening his eyes again, the person sleeping next to him changed. Hill was lying on his side, with his arms tightly wrapped around his shoulders, and his breath fell on Carat's side neck as usual.The weather is getting colder and colder, thinking of the coming first winter in her life, Carat can't help but feel a little excited.

Carefully tucking that arm back under the covers, he inadvertently touched Hill's palm, and Clara touched a strange scab.Seeing that Hill was sound asleep, he quietly held up that hand. It was a wound that was long enough to cut across the palm of his hand, as if it had been torn repeatedly, and the scabs on the edge overlapped many times. Hill's palm exuded a strange smell. , like the fragrance after rain in the forest.Carat frowned, why didn't he deal with the injury properly?Hill's wheat-colored skin is fine and smooth, without any birthmarks or scars from head to toe, and Carat can't help but feel a little regretful, fearing that this mess will leave scars.

"Are you awake?" Hill pulled out his hand and clenched his palm tightly.

"What happened to your hand?" Carla asked.

"Accidentally, it's already healed." Hill sat up and took off the bandage to check Carat's wound. The pink edge hadn't fully healed, and some transparent liquid oozes slightly: "Change the dressing first." Hill said.

Putting on her clothes, Carat opened the window.At the end of the thin dike between azure and azure is a stone lighthouse.The beating sunlight was reflected on the surface of the sea, and the early fishing boats had already docked one after another. Carat saw many people waiting on the shore to count the harvest.The white-bellied fish in the huge net were taken out one by one, sorted and thrown into different large wooden barrels.

"Good afternoon!" Kama smiled at him, standing directly under the window with a basket in hand.Hill ignored them, and took Fleur downstairs to set up a grill next to the stove. The little guy was drowsy at first, but when he saw Hill was about to start a fire, he immediately became excited. The moment she opened her mouth, , Hill flicked her nose hard, but instead of spitting out the fire, he choked out a sneeze with sparks.

"No." Hill emphasized again, and Fleur nodded repeatedly, covering her nose like a little chicken pecking at rice.Kama took two fish from outside the door and handed them to Hill. The fresh fish were still wriggling.Hill landed on the junction of the head and back of the fish twice in a row, and the two fish immediately passed out and remained motionless.Immediately afterwards, he took a knife from the stove, skillfully scraped off the scales of the fish, opened the belly, took out the internal organs and threw them aside.

Seeing this, Fleur wanted to eat, and Kama hurriedly hugged the little guy.

"It's okay, let her eat." Hill didn't care at all, motioned for Kama to let go, and silently watched as Fleur chewed the blood-stained viscera a few times before spitting it out.Hill motioned for her to drink water and rinse her mouth: "Do you still want to eat?"

Fleur shook her head aggrievedly, stood aside and waited obediently.

This is the first time that Carat has tasted Hill's handicraft. The milky white fish soup is delicious and mellow, with the smell of unknown spices. The fish is tender and smooth, with a touch of fresh sweetness. The soup pot bottomed out.

"Did you live here in the past?" Karma asked.

In fact, Carat also had the same question. He held the last small bowl of fish soup and looked at Hill, who nodded.

"So Hill, this room we live in..." Cara was wondering when she woke up. The place they lived in was not a hotel. It looked like an ordinary house from the outside, but the interior was too simple.

"It's my home." Hill thought for a while and replied.

Carat was taken aback: "Then, what about your family?"

"It's gone." Hill said lightly, "Are you full?"

Carat put down the bowl in her hand, feeling guilty for her untimely question, but Hill didn't seem depressed or sad about it, he just walked in front of Cara and rubbed the light golden head, took away the empty bowl on the table and threw it away. Into the bucket next to the stove: "Go up and rest."

"Can I go out and have a look?" Cara's bones were about to crumble after lying down for several days in a row. He really didn't know how Hill managed to sleep for so many days without waking up.

"No," Hill sternly refused: "Your injury is still not healed, and Fleur can't be seen like this."

"Yeah, but I want to see...see the place where Hill lived..." Cara pursed her lips, "I'll just walk around, and I won't go far, can you stay with Frey?" .”

"...You..." Hill's heart was actually very soft.Especially for herself, Carat had already discovered it.

"Otherwise, you go with him, and I will stay with Fleur." Kama took the initiative to make a rescue.

Hill struggled again and again: "No, you can go around with him." He turned around and told Kara repeatedly: "Don't run away. Don't mind other people's business. You can't go far." Hill glanced at Kama, with warning meaning.Carat stuck out her tongue: "I promise to stay out of business."

Carat knew that Hill was worried about the little guy being alone with Karma, and he still didn't trust Karma.

Margarets, where Manyin Harbor is located, is a bustling town with prosperous fishing and handicraft industries.

"I'm going to be suffocated to death lying in the house every day." Breathing the sea breeze, Kela was a little excited. He followed Karma and looked over from the side of the seaside market. Most of the people here have the same healthy wheat color as Hill. The skin makes Carat feel very kind.

"He's also worried about you. Seriously, Carat, I think it's a miracle that you're okay this time." Karma said with lingering fear, "I've never seen anyone recover from such an injury."

Not to mention other people, Carat himself is too aware of the strangeness of this. The knife obviously injured an organ and a large blood vessel, otherwise he would not have lost consciousness so quickly: "Probably luck."

"Why isn't it called Margarets Harbor?" he asked Karma.

The port of Manyin is not located in Manyin City, and the distance between the two would take half a day even by horseback riding.It is said that Manyin City was infested by drifters many years ago. For the sake of defense and safety, the main city was moved to the current fjord valley.

"Drifter?" Carat asked puzzled after taking a bite of the chewy charcoal calamari.

"A long time ago, some serious criminals would be exiled on rafts to the sea to die slowly. The sea is extremely dangerous. Everyone thinks this is a crueler punishment than hanging." Kama took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, pointing to the corner of his mouth : "But they still underestimated the will of human beings to survive. Some of these drifters were brought alive by the tide to a nearby small island. Over time, some survived and became organized sea thieves, who began to gather together to rob the sea At first, no one cared, until they started to go ashore on a large scale to rob money and food, and even kidnapped young girls. Even Manyin City was not spared. No one knew when they became so powerful. It was the king who sent reinforcements It was only then that the foundation of the Ton family was kept. After that, Manyin City was moved to its current location, and the punishment of exile in the capital was also abolished."

From here, Carat could see the city wall standing tall in the distance, which should be Manyin City.Looking at the entire Fjord region, which is rich in products, it is much richer and more prosperous than other territories. The town of Margarets is happy and happy, and there are few poor people.

"No wonder Tai Lun is afraid of them." Carat wiped her mouth: "The Ton family has really earned a piece of geomantic treasure land."

Walking to the end of the market, Carat saw a jewelry shop. Inside the glass window was a beautiful necklace, a drop-shaped milky white translucent gem, with a faint blue-purple halo floating on the surface, like the shadow of the moon in the water.Carat looked at the cowhide brochure at the door. This is a shop specializing in selling moonstone jewelry. According to legend, moonstone is the tears of mermaids, which can arouse the tenderness of a lover.

"Don't believe this." Kama said with a smile: "This thing was actually discovered when digging a well, and it has nothing to do with mermaids."

Three drop-shaped gemstones are connected in series on a string of very small pearls. Carat just thinks that such a color will look good on Hill's neck.

"Look, is our Karma back?"

The smell of wine wafted from behind, and Carat and Karma turned their heads at the same time, seeing a well-dressed middle-aged man in front of them.

"Let me just say, the one who looks so delicate from a distance can only be you." He took off his hat and gave a gentlemanly salute, and Carat saw Kama's embarrassed face.

"Mr. Ton. Long time no see." Kama bowed.

The man turned his eyes, stared at Carat's face, squinted his eyes and savored unscrupulously: "Tsk tsk."

Carat avoided the hand that unconsciously wanted to pinch his chin, and the other party was also taken aback, and with a wave, someone in the store brought out the necklace that Carat had stared at for a long time just now.

"If you like it, this is for you." He tried to put it on for Cara.
