Chapter 40 Opening the Sea Ceremony

"What's the matter, does it hurt?" Hill avoided the wound on his abdomen and stroked his side gently.

"It's okay." They were too close, and Krala felt that Hill's lips were trembling numbly when he spoke. He didn't understand what he was resisting, so he closed his eyes and kissed him.

The hem that had just been tucked back was pulled out again. Hill's palm was tightly pressed against his skin, rubbing his back. Carat's body couldn't help leaning over, and the moment it pressed against the wound, the tip of his tongue trembled. Captured by the opponent, Hill thoughtfully separated the gap between the bodies of the two who touched each other.

The door of the bedroom was not closed, Carat was a little shy, but the nervousness seemed to make people more excited.He squinted and enjoyed the dizzying stalking until there was a knock on the downstairs door.

Carat heard Karma's voice outside the door, so she turned her face slightly and shifted Hill's lips: "I'll go and open the door."

"The door is unlocked." Hill, whose lips were covered with water, did not open his eyes, and squeezed his arm.

Karma enters the house and greets Fleur.

Hill saw that he was distracted, and pushed him a few steps, pushing him from the foot of the bed to the wall.

Kama asked Fleur if they were awake, and then there was the sound of footsteps going upstairs.

Carat instinctively pushed Hill's shoulder to say something, but the other party blocked his mouth involuntarily. Compared with the soft and lingering taste just now, Hill's force was much stronger. Carat felt that the back of his neck was pinched a bit painful, The breathing was tightly sealed, and the other party seemed not to give him extra room for thinking, and Carat struggled to take in a little bit of air during the exchange of gasps.

The sound of the sticky kiss was mixed with Hill's soft sigh that escaped unconsciously from his nose, which made Kela's heart skip a beat. He didn't even notice when Kama went downstairs, and when Hill separated from him, The open door was empty.

Hill stared at him with moist eyes, smirked contentedly, rubbed the top of his hair with his left hand and straightened it again: "Go down and eat, walk slowly."

When Carat went downstairs, Kama was the same as usual, saying good morning to him enthusiastically. Carat also pretended that nothing happened, but he didn't dare to look directly into Kama's eyes. He always felt that every gaze of the girl They were all teasing him.

"Is it better?" Kama sliced ​​the cross buns he bought early in the morning and served them with fried fish squeezed with lemon juice.

"Well, it's much better." Carat touched her wound. It's only been a few days. As long as the abdomen doesn't exert force, the pain of the wound is not hard to bear.

"I haven't seen anyone recover so well after being injured like this." Karma sighed: "I have studied herbal medicine for many years, if it was me, I really don't know how to deal with such a serious knife wound." She seemed sincere Ask for advice, and look at the silent Hill together with Carat.

"It's almost time for us to leave." Hill rinsed out a complete fish bone from his mouth, not intending to impart experience: "Tonight's sea opening celebration, there are too many people on the beach, we will leave tomorrow."

"Yeah." Kama was very witty, and followed his words: "When I came, I saw that preparations were already being made on the beach, and there were three or four carriages full of wine barrels."

"Opening the sea celebration?" Carat swallowed the raisins in his mouth.

"Well, it's the custom of Margarets. The celebration before winter is to wish the fishermen a good harvest when they go to sea this winter." Kama patiently explained to him: "It is very difficult to go to sea in winter, but seafood is the best. When the fish is fat, the fish at this time can be sold at a good price."

People always like all kinds of celebrations and sacrifices.Festivals are the sense of ritual they give to time. Carat still remembers that on his birthday every year before he was ten years old, his parents would give him gifts, pets, books, and his mother gave him a rapier the year he left.

"Is it fun?" he asked Karma.During festivals in Chuyue City, he would usually go to a stall to buy some food, find a rooftop with a good view, and watch people singing and dancing in groups.He quietly waited for the excitement to end, and occasionally helped drunk people find their lost property.

"...I don't like it very much. You must know that when there are many people, there must be some unscrupulous people who like to fish in troubled waters." Kama shook her head and sneered: "Generally, girls have to go with family and friends, otherwise it is easy to get caught. Bullying. Usually the rich and powerful masters are the ones who are cruel, and most of the time they can only swallow their anger."

Carat saw Karma's face was not good-looking: "You, don't worry, I will go with you, and nothing will happen."

Karma chuckled: "Forget it, I think it's more dangerous to be with you."

Beginning in the evening, the crowd gradually gathered by the beach, they sang songs that Carat had never heard, and gathered around the bonfire to dispel the loneliness of the cold night.

There is a whole row of wine barrels on the shore, and two silver coins are exchanged for a cup, and you can drink unlimitedly until dawn.

Kamanunu said: "It's all Ton's wine. It's really pervasive."

As soon as they finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd. Carat saw the boat on the shore full of fishing lights, and Barton leaned on the side of the ship with a few girls in his arms to toast everyone. Carat couldn't hear his voice clearly because of the noise. Looking at the mouth shape, it seems to say that tonight's wine is enough.

"Isn't he married?" Carat saw that every nobleman on the ship had a few Yingying Yanyan sticking to them, and they didn't avoid people's eyes and ears at all.He knew that some people were keen on cheating, but Barton's wife was the lord's sister.

"It's not a secret, both of them are like this. There are rumors that his wife is crazier than him, and her lover is kept at home." Kama said while politely refusing a few glasses of wine offered by the people around her.

Carat clicked her tongue, the folk customs here are too open.

There were more and more people, and he was a little powerless, trying to squeeze out while protecting the wound, and those hands that deliberately walked over his chin and buttocks didn't care at all.After squeezing through the crowd, it was discovered that Karma hadn't followed at all.She was so small that Carat couldn't see where she was trapped and had to wait on the sidelines.

"Good evening, sir. We meet again." Barton got off the boat at some point, and his body was covered with a woman's rich makeup.

"Hello." Carat returned politely, subconsciously keeping a distance from him.

"Do you have the honor to invite you to have a drink?" Barton took a glass of clear straw yellow white wine from the attendant and handed it to Carat: "This is mixed wine, which is different from the one in the wine barrel. It is a high-quality product."

Carat shook her head: "Thank you, but I don't know how to drink."

"I don't mean anything malicious, so don't be so nervous." Barton took a step closer: "I was wondering if you would come tonight. I was on the boat just now, and I saw you in the crowd at a glance." An illusion of politeness and sincerity, if Carat hadn't seen with her own eyes that he had bitten a girl's half-exposed breast not long ago, she would have been deceived by him.

"I'm about to go back." Carat shrugged back.Someone has noticed that Barton got off the boat, and more and more eyes are staring at this side.

Barton suddenly approached him and whispered, "I brought the necklace you fancy last time, and it's on the boat. Come and see it with me?"

Carat even heard the whispers of the people around her.His nervous palms were sweating, not because of Barton's invitation, but because of the crowds. Fleur hadn't been sent to a safe place yet. As a fugitive who was being hunted by the capital, he shouldn't attract anyone's attention.Clara hesitated whether to just drink the glass of wine and run away.

He stretched out his hand and took the wine glass: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have other things to go on board tonight, I hope you have a good time." After speaking, he raised the wine glass to his lips and prepared to drink it down .

Just when the sweet liquid was about to touch the tip of his tongue, his hand was pulled away by the other hand.Hill pinched the back of his hand with his fingers, raised his Adam's apple, rolled twice, and drank the wine in the large goblet in one gulp: "He doesn't know how to drink." After speaking, he dragged Carat away quickly.Carat looked back at the astonished businessman, and Barton held his empty goblet with a meaningful expression.

Carat swallowed a small sip of the wine while walking, the sour taste of the wine also had a strange sweetness, and the aftertaste lingered between the eyebrows for a long time.

"Why are you here? Where's Fleur?" Carla asked.

"Asleep." Hill looked unhappy: "Who is that person?"

"Barton Torn." Carat explained.

"Noble? He knows who you are? What about the Kama people?" Hill suddenly became vigilant.

"Probably not yet. He accidentally met someone on the street yesterday, but he seems to know Karma." Carat explained: "I didn't tell him his name."

Hill frowned and walked faster and faster: "We will leave when the crowd disperses."

Not long after they entered the door, Karma also ran back anxiously. When she saw Carat, she pounced on her and asked out of breath, "Have you drunk? I saw he gave you a drink. I wanted to squeeze through but there were too many people." It's too late, have you had a drink?"

"No." Carat was stunned. Even if he was injured, a glass of wine would not kill him. Kama seemed a little nervous, not to mention that he felt very good now, and trotted all the way back with Hill to get a little wound No pain at all.

"It's fine if you don't drink." Kama straightened her messy hair: "Then I'll go back."

"You stay here tonight." I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, Hill's cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were not so clear, but his voice was still cold with distrust: "Don't step out of this room, We'll be leaving tomorrow morning."

"Okay, the boat to Eaton Island usually docks at the small pier in the north, and there are no people there." Kama readily agreed, "I'll just take you to the boat, don't worry."

"What's the matter with you, Hill?" The temperature in the early winter night was very low, but there was a layer of sweat on Hill's forehead, and Carat stretched out her hand to wipe it off for him: "Is it hot?"

"It's nothing, I'll go up and move the bed to the next door." Hill pushed away his hand hanging in the air, and hurried upstairs.

"Hill, he's just not very good at talking." Carat explained to the embarrassed girl: "He is a cautious person, always afraid that I will be cheated."

"I understand." Kama put on a smiling face: "Hill is very good to you. You are very good. I know."

"Yeah." Carat nodded. He felt that Kama probably understood his relationship with Hill, which made him a little shy and a little novel. After all, he never thought he would be interested in a boy in the past: "Is Eden Island far away?" ? Who is there on the island?"

"I don't know, I've never been there. My mother told me that if I can't find a place to live one day, I can go there." Kama lowered her head, as if recalling her relatives: "Maybe one day I will also go there." Will go and see."

Karma got up and prepared a basin of warm water, soaked the towel and handed it to Kara: "Rest early, the boat doesn't have to be bumpy for a long time."

"Thank you." Carat took the towel and wiped his face and neck. Feeling a little thirsty for no reason, he gulped down a glass of water: "Why isn't Hill moving..." He remembered that Hill was drinking well.

Karma followed him upstairs, the window of the bedroom was wide open, and the curtains were drawn by the growing night wind.Carat found that the two beds were still in the same bedroom, and Hill, who was about to move the bed, was nowhere to be found.But Fleur wasn't sleeping, the horns and tail that disappeared appeared again, and the little guy whispered wonderfully to the open window.

Clara remembered when she was a lizard, the day Hill showed up, and she made a similar sound.

"Could you be really drunk..." Carat walked to the window and looked down.

Karma's face sank: "Did he drink?"

Honeymoon:

yeah... drank...
