Chapter 924: Line of footprints

I smiled slightly: "The emperor is the supremacy of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. How could it be so easy to get involved in danger?"
Han Zitong frowned: "But I heard that he took you to Yangzhou in the past. You did a lot of" big things "in Yangzhou."
The dagger in my hand did not stop, but some needles pierced into the skin, and blood droplets had come out, which stained the cloth around the hand. I gritted my teeth and continued to open the road while saying, "At that time, he was just one of the many princes, and it was a training experience in Yangzhou. But sitting on a dragon chair and becoming the Supreme Master of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is different from the previous prince. "
I smiled and looked back at her with a smile: "The Emperor Yujia asked for something, except for the words of Mr. Shushu, how many people have always been?"
She froze and said nothing.
Although these words are sharp, she naturally understands that as the daughter of Wang Xia, for example, we are going to sea this time, in fact, her purpose is very clear, but even so, Pei Yuanxiu will not come forward to get involved in the danger, let alone power , Rich emperor. It is absolutely impossible for the emperor to leave the imperial city easily without the assurance of safety and security, or for major events that would affect the state community.
Anyone who said that it was a royal drive, even a private visit to Weifu, was just a rhetoric in Mr. Shushu's mouth, and a butterfly in the bookshop.
After a while, she said, "Then you said, who will come to us?"
"Maybe a sailor in Zhoushan, or--"
I paused.
A very thick needle stuck into the back of my hand, and the pain finally made me unable to bear it even if I gritted my teeth. I could only stop and pull the thorn out.
Han Zitong watched that the white cloth tangled in my hand was almost red, and took a sigh of cold air: "Your hand--"
"I'm fine."
With that said, in fact, I was almost in tears, but I still clenched my teeth and looked up. "We continue to move forward, and we can always find something."
...
It's a pity this time, God "disappointed" me.
It took almost a whole day, and finally we split a road, walked to the foot of the mountain, looked up at the towering mountains in front of us, and the two of us were completely out of power.
Along the way, nothing was found.
There are only dense thorns and sensuous jungles, and from time to time they run out of the grass and wonder whether they are small animals of hares or squirrels, and green snakes that cling to the branches and scare our legs soft.
However, I did not curse God because of this "disappointment". After all, God has not responded to my sentence from beginning to end, and the so-called "always have some discoveries" is just my own expectations and Imagine that even Han Zitong didn't blame me for my hasty promise before, but just sat on a stone at the foot of the mountain breathlessly.
Looking up at the towering peak, she said, "Are we going up?"
I also looked at it and shook my head, "I won't go up today. It ’s getting dark, and I do n’t know what will be on the mountain after dark. Second, we are all tired, we need something to eat, and we need to prepare something. Only food can go up the mountain. "
She nodded and obeyed my arrangements.
As a result, the two returned the same way.
The thorns on both sides have been split, and of course the road is easy to go. Han Zitong's attitude towards me is even more docile than taking this road, perhaps because she is increasingly aware that this may really be an uninhabited island, and We can only rely on each other.
While the sun was not yet at sea level, I picked up a wooden stick sharpened with a dagger and went to shallow water to catch fish.
When I put my skirt around my waist and lifted my trousers into the water, the cold sea water immediately froze me, but it took a while, but I finally got used to the temperature, so I went deeper and shallower. Slowly go down; Han Zitong sat on the beach and looked at me, feeling the wet, icy sea breeze, she was already a bit shrunken, and watching my calf soaked in seawater was even more worried.
"Hey," just as I stared at the water intently, I heard her say behind her, "Why do you catch fish this way?"
"..."
"Like a fisherwoman."
I glanced back at her and smiled slightly, "Yeah."
"what?"
"I've been a fisherwoman."
"...?"
"I'm good at catching fish, but-it's very well taught by others."
At first, the two were just chatting, I do n’t know why her brows frowned, and she turned her face to the side as if she had been offended suddenly. She didn't want to talk to me indignantly, and I was a little inexplicable. Dark, a foot-long fish was swimming with its tail happily, hurriedly bent down, and gently passed over.
Like every time before, I aimed the thorns at a distance from the fish, and was about to pierce. Suddenly, the fish seemed to feel something. It swung its tail and hit a splash. Swim away.
"Hey--"
There was a sigh in my heart, but I had time to start, but I saw the place where the fish was just swimming. It was white, and some transparent things seemed to be stunned by the fish, and snorted towards the deep water Swim over.
I hurried back several steps.
When Han Zitong saw me like this, he immediately came over: "What's wrong?"
"minnow."
"what?"
I looked back: "A transparent fish, poisonous, it's bad when bitten."
"Ah?" She seemed startled when she heard of this kind of thing for the first time. "Then you come back quickly, be careful not to get bitten."
I glanced at her with a smile on my face: "It's okay. I'll be careful."
After speaking, I looked carefully into the water for a while, and determined that there was no danger before walking towards the deeper waters.
This evening, the harvest was quite rich. We grilled several fishes, and picked some of the berries that were picked up by the way during the day. After eating two grilled fishes, the rest was wrapped in banana leaves that were collected at the foot of the mountain Get up and prepare to take with you when you go hiking tomorrow.
After all this work, it soon became dark.
Tonight, it will be better than before. We divided the burning campfire into two piles and moved them to their sides, and then laid a layer of leaves on the ground that had been grilled by the fire, the warm heat rose, and finally immersed the whole day. We felt a little warmth in the cold air.
Han Zitong slept beside me, and leaned over subconsciously.
I glanced back at her and smiled.
The temperature of two people is actually more comfortable than the heat source from below. Although her attitude towards me has always been very blunt, the feeling of mutual dependence between the two people can still give people in such a cold environment With courage and hope to survive.
The corner of my mouth was a slight arc, and my eyes closed slowly.
Maybe it ’s because I ’m too tired today. After closing my eyes, I slowly fell into a chaotic dream, but the chaos gradually turned into a dark sea, and the turbulent waves lifted dozens of feet high and turned over the river. The rush came and immediately slammed a ship down on the sea, with a smashing noise.
Leave!
I opened my eyes suddenly.
The flickering fire around me shone on my face, a little cloudy, but it made me find some realistic comfort.
Actually, I'm not as free and easy as I said before.
I'm still worried about leaving, in case something happens to her, Liu Qinghan's boat is not far away from our boat. One of the most fearful things in my heart is that if their boat also encounters a storm, It's broken, what should I do?
Will it already--
As soon as this idea came up, I immediately fought a chill, shook my head vigorously, and threw this idea out fiercely.
No, definitely not!
My daughter, she is my daughter, her mother has given birth to her after so many hardships, she must not die so easily, she must not!
Just when I was silent, holding on to the straw mat under my body, and the fine sand slowly leaked from my fingers, at this moment, Han Zitong's hollow voice suddenly sounded aside--
"What are you thinking?"
I was still a little embarrassed. Before I had time to answer, I heard her say faintly: "Still thinking about your days as a fisherwoman?"
"..."
I slowly turned my head to look at her.
"what did you say?"
"..."
But she didn't look at me, she just lay there on her back, her beautiful silhouette was illuminated by the fire not far away, and she looked a little cloudy, silent for a long time, but didn't get her response, only to see her slowly closing He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
I frowned slightly.
At night, in the silence of the two, the silence became more and more peaceful.


One night passed.
When he woke up the next morning, Han Zitong also got up. The two of them briefly washed with seawater, ate some cold grilled fish and berries, and after a little cleaning, they were ready to leave.
This way, both were extremely quiet.
Last night, her abrupt interrogation seemed to be a hallucination of mine, and she seemed to have been forgotten by herself. Neither of them mentioned it, but compared to yesterday ’s harmonious atmosphere, both of them were silent. , Branches and leaves went all the way, she was silent, and I was quiet.
However, as the two of us slowly walked towards the foot of the mountain, suddenly, I felt the footsteps following me stopped.
I looked back and saw her standing not far behind, staring at the beach on the other side.
I asked, "What happened?"
"look."
She didn't look at me, she was just foolish, she stretched her finger to the side like she was taken.
I frowned subconsciously, because the place where I stood was covered by the higher branches, so I walked back to her and looked in the direction of her fingers.
That is the beach on the other side.
Today the weather is very good. The sun is shining on the blue sea. The clear water is shining with countless stars. The waves follow the wind, and they are shot ashore, as if a gentle hand is soothing this piece. The beach that has been raged by it.
And on the beach, on the white sand--
A line of footprints, faint, faded away as the sea water eroded.
