The Book of Troubled Times

It was useless for the shark to cry, because neither of them knew where they were going.

When sailing on the sea, without a compass, you can't identify the precise direction by looking at the stars. If you want to go back, you can't find the way back. You can only wander around aimlessly, hoping to find a more livable island and recover from your injuries. .

What's more, Sanniang looks majestic, but in fact it won't last long. Her ribs will hurt if she holds it for a long time. Even a man's kiss can't cure this. It simply cannot support long-term sailing on a shark.

In fact, the kiss didn't last long. They were said to be "distracting", but in fact, they were really good at it. The shark started to rebel within two kisses, almost knocking the two people away who were trying to shake the shark.

Sanniang pushed Zhao Changhe away, suppressed the shark fiercely, and then beat Zhao Changhe: "I have recovered and you still want to be frivolous? You stinky pig."

Zhao Changhe stood aside with his hands aggrievedly, "You'd better pretend to be sick."

Fortunately, luck was not bad, and before Sanniang could no longer support it, the heavy rain began to lighten up, the fog was not so thick, and there was faint light shining through the gray sky, and the visibility was getting higher and higher.

As the fog dissipated, another island appeared in the distance. It looks much bigger than the previous desert island, and there are trees.

Sanniang was overjoyed and drove the shark away through the waves.

When you get closer, you can see that they are coconut trees. The presence of coconuts means that water is coming. Coconuts can also be used to make various gourd pots, which are used in daily life...

Zhao Changhe was also ecstatic, and he felt as if the rest of his life was coming after a disaster. People's mentality is very strange. They still continue to survive on the desert island, but they feel like they have been saved.

It's like living in a bridge cave instead of ten square meters. Even though we are still working on cattle and horses, it is already an improved house...

At this moment, neither of them thought that the more improvements they made and the more livable they were, the higher the possibility of being fucked by a smelly pig.

The two of them couldn't wait to use their light skills to fly to the island and found a flat spot. Zhao Changhe immediately pulled out the dragon bird and went to chop down the tree excitedly.

After all, it was Longque who took all the responsibility.

Fortunately, this is a sword that will never chip in thousands of battles, so it won't be a problem to chop down a tree.

When she turned around, she saw that Sanniang had already prepared a pile of firewood, drained the water with her kung fu, and lit a fire with a bang.

Zhao Changhe cut the wooden board with a bang, and asked curiously: "Where did you get the fire seal?"

Sanniang said: "I can use the ring now that I have real energy."

"...You also have a storage ring."

"Do you think you are the only one who owns this thing?" Sanniang smiled and said, "In terms of inheritance, your ring should belong to me."

Zhao Changhe was stunned, yes, his ring was from ancient Xuanwu. Uh, no, why is the ancient Xuanwu yours?

Sanniang groaned and added more wood to the fire: "Forget it, as I reward you, there seems to be nothing wrong with Shi Huo Zhu using Xuanwu things."

I don't think there's anything wrong with using Xuanwu as a room fire pig.

Zhao Changhe didn't say this and just kept splitting the wooden board.

Sanniang's eyes flashed, and she suddenly disappeared into the trees behind her. When she reappeared, she had changed into her own clothes. The cuteness of the slim body wrapped in the wide coat disappeared, and was replaced by a robe that Zhao Changhe had never seen before.

The robe is obviously the same as that of Suzaku, and it can be seen that it is the representative attire within their Four Symbols Sect. Different from the bright red of Zhuque, the black and blue of Sanniang are thick and serious, highlighting the silent majesty of Xuanwu.

Zhao Changhe twitched the corner of his mouth, lowered his head to chop wood, and stopped looking.

Sanniang smiled and tied her hair into a ponytail: "Why, isn't it very majestic?"

Yes, people depend on their clothes, and they look really beautiful when dressed like this. However, clothes are majestic, and you are smiling like a Jenny, and no clothes can save you. She also wears a ponytail, how can she pretend to be young?

Having said that, the more majestic and thick it is, the more it reminds people of being naked in one's arms and nibbling on it, making it look tempting at all times.

Zhao Changhe had reason to suspect that Guigui was tempting him. Otherwise, what kind of clothes would be hard to wear? How about choosing something that would make people want to wear it?

Forget it, get down to business.

Zhao Changhe was chipping wood boards to build a house, and Sanniang stopped disturbing him. She lit a fire, caught fish and shrimps, picked coconuts, and had a good dinner.

If outsiders were watching, it would just be the young couple dividing their labors and working hard for a happy life.

That's what the blind man thought. It's just that there is a ten-year age difference between the young couple. If you put them in a notebook, you can draw them as children driving a big car.

It’s true that meat and vegetables are not taboo. You can do it if you are fifteen or sixteen, you can do it if you are twenty-eight or nine, and you can do it if you are over thirty. A rabbit can do it, a tortoise can do it too.

Is it okay as long as you look good?

But having said that, there is really nothing wrong with the scene. On the contrary, they look like a perfect match. This kind of small life where one person builds a house and the other cooks makes people feel very comfortable.

This time, Zhao Changhe's performance also made the blind man look at him with new eyes. He was indeed very reliable. When he sent Yuanyang thousands of miles away, the nature was quite similar to this time, but he himself was still a little immature at that time, but now he has really grown up.

So much so that the tortoise has to overtake the rabbit.

The blind man knows that the turtle can't bear it... This kind of woman who has been troubled since childhood, no matter how heartless she looks on the outside, is riddled with holes on the inside. What she wants most in her dream is a home, a place where she can A person who protects you from the wind and rain.

This experience was like the most accurate arrow piercing my heart.

She deliberately wore the robe of the Four Symbols Sect to show that she was a "superior" and to warn Zhao Changhe. It was also her own inner struggle to resist... But in reality, it was as fragile as paper, and it might be an aphrodisiac. .

The followers of the Night Emperor are afraid that they will be completely wiped out.

The blind man touched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly made some small operations.

"It's time to eat." Sanniang was shouting: "It's not that fast to build a house, so take a rest first."

Zhao Changhe wiped his sweat and walked over: "I'm just worried that it's going to rain again, so I want to finish it as soon as possible."

"I'll ride with you after we finish eating." Sanniang handed over a seashell: "Try it."

Seeing Sanniang's expectant expression, Zhao Changhe's heart softened.

It's like coming home from work and someone at home has cooked a meal waiting for you.

Maybe we all share the same sentiment. After wandering around the world for a long time, who doesn’t want to have a family?

Sanniang's cooking skills are very good, and the food she bakes is so delicious...

"Is it delicious?" Sanniang stretched out her foot and kicked him, which meant "please praise me quickly".

Zhao Changhe couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, seashells are delicious, and so are turtles."

"Where is the turtle..." Sanniang woke up and smiled lazily: "Hey, I have recovered, you will have no chance in the future."

Zhao Changhe did not refute, but lowered his head to eat.

Sanniang's beautiful eyes turned to his face for a long time, and she didn't say anything more, just eating fish.

After a long while, Zhao Changhe finally found a topic: "Since it's okay, let's talk about the Brotherhood of Thieves?"

This is the chat between the couple at the dinner table.

"What's there to say..." Sanniang muttered: "I'm in charge of making money in the Four Elephants Sect. I was a pirate and participated in the construction of a country. I can be considered an expert on how to trade and plunder. I'm Ying Wu's brother. Hui has also turned to the business model over the years, so there will naturally be intersections... However, when I met Ying Wu, I didn't reveal that I was Xuanwu. I only said that an old friend came to visit later. I originally wanted to take advantage of him. They are very rich. I I’m not close to them.”

Zhao Changhe asked: "What happened next?"

"It turns out that Ying Wu is very loyal." Sanniang sighed: "I met Ying Wu and said that my mother passed away. Ying Wu was silent for a long time and said that he was the only one of their old brothers left, and the others were the descendants of his brothers. Name. They said it was good that I came, as if they were all brothers again. Then they didn’t even ask me what I had done or what my abilities were. They just made me sit in the third position and gave me very high authority. Let me access their information over the years and use the money as I wish. That’s what it means. I really don’t want to trick him, so I just use both identities without conflict.”

"The Fifth Master is indeed loyal..." Zhao Changhe said: "I think he actually knows your identity, but he doesn't care."

"Hmm... maybe, anyway, I'm still acting in front of him, maybe he's having fun." Sanniang became a little unconfident, touched her chin and said, "That's not okay, only I can watch other people's fun... …”

Zhao Changhe couldn't laugh or cry: "So you went to Huangshaji because you found clues about Xuanwu there from their information."

"Yes, otherwise how could I meet an enemy like you?"

"I thought your purpose of going there would have something to do with the Hu people."

Sanniang thought for a while: "Actually, there is...what, are you worried about Batu?"

"Well... Batu's military strength may be sufficient, but the top combat power is not enough. If you come here again, once the Mobei army comes again, I don't know how he can withstand it."

"You just worry too much." Sanniang grumbled: "It gives Tang Wanzhuang a headache, and she didn't let you play with her, so why are you licking her?"

Zhao Changhe glanced at her and stopped talking.

What a sour thing to say...

Sanniang seemed to realize that this tone was wrong, and she hummed and stopped talking.

Now it's true, any words can make the atmosphere very strange. What Ying Wu said about Batu can be distorted, but it's his own fault.

Sanniang threw the fish bones into the sea angrily.

…………

The night is getting darker.

The sound of carpentry on the island became clearer and clearer.

After dinner, the men and women worked together to support Zhao Changhe and the pillars, while Sanniang placed the wooden boards.

The young couple talked enthusiastically and happily watched a small house gradually take shape. The sense of satisfaction simply overflowed on their faces. They looked at each other's slightly dirty faces and smiled like flowers.

It wasn't until the two of them met and looked at the entire wooden bed together, and inadvertently looked up at each other, that they both seemed to think of a question.

Yesterday under that kind of flagstone, the environment really couldn't do anything.

But now there is a wooden house with a bed in it. A new house is being built and a bonfire is warming it up.

Is this the wedding ceremony?

Even if it's not, it can easily become yes.

In fact, as early as when I was eating, I had this thought in my mind, but I just suppressed it and didn't think about it. Now that the house is taking shape, we finally need to face this problem.

"You..." Sanniang gritted her teeth for a long time and finally managed to say: "I am the boss, you sleep on the floor."

Zhao Changhe lay down on the bed without saying a word: "I'm mentally exhausted. I really can't stand it anymore and want to sleep. I don't have the strength to do anything to you. What are you afraid of?"

Sanniang was suspicious: "Really?"

Zhao Changhe didn't answer, but he was already snoring faintly.

He was really exhausted. He stumbled and fell when he was fighting sharks, and now he has been holding on for a whole day. It's good that he didn't faint during the process of building the house.

Sanniang stared blankly at his face as he fell asleep instantly, as peaceful as a child who had not grown up.

Sanniang hesitated for a moment, then finally lay down next to him fully clothed and closed her eyes. She also needed a rest. After a day of fatigue, her ribs were hurting again. She had run out of medicine long ago, so she could only rely on rest to heal herself.

Fortunately, her Xuanwu body not only has strong defense, but also has really good recovery power. How can ordinary people with broken ribs be like her, who have been sluggish for a day and then beat up sharks with vigor and vigor? A few days of good rest is actually enough to go back. Ten days and a half are not needed...

While Sanniang was half asleep and half awake, a vague thought occurred to her - in fact, it doesn't seem to matter if she doesn't go back... It's none of my business if the sky falls.

She turned around, hugged the human pillow next to her, smacked her lips, and slept soundly.

The waves crashed and the night fell silent.

In the distant sea, a fleet is sailing: "Captain, an injured shark was found in the distance... I suspect there may be someone in this sea area."
