At the hotel where Liu Xiao stayed last night, the receptionist was warming his hands in a daze when a man rushed in with a round face, it was Jiang Zhuzhi.
"Hello, is the guest named He Chu still here last night?"
"I don't know." The receptionist said absentmindedly.
"But he just bought you a pen and some paper last night."
"He checked out early in the morning and left."
"Ah? Gone? When and where did he go?"
"I don't know." The receptionist shook his head, as if he didn't want to answer the question anymore.
No wonder your store's business is so poor.
Jiang Zhuzhi muttered and could only turn around and leave. Remembering that he met the other party on the way to the port last night, he also walked towards the port.
I inquired about the ships going to Tianwu Kingdom and learned that only one ship would go, but it stopped today.
With a trace of luck, she also walked towards the berth of Jun Jue, hoping to meet He Chu.
On the way, I heard someone talking about what happened that morning, calling the person a handsome young man. After asking about it, I felt more and more that it was Liu Xiao.
As I approached Jun Jue, I saw a familiar figure leaning against the fence in the distance.
Under the blue sky, a light blue figure.
At this time, the sun was already three poles high.
Liu Xiao stood on the deck and watched the sailors untie the ropes that secured the Jun Jue.
A group of people gathered at the pier, most of them were extraordinary people.
Junjuehao didn't sell any tickets today, so they missed the ticket, complained again, and could only sigh.
The boat gradually left the shore, and from a distance, Liu Xiao saw a person running over.
After taking a closer look, I found it was Jiang Zhuzhi.
Why did she come here? Did she want to go to sea to find her partner?
It's not safe at sea now. I would have warned her not to wander around.
Last night, he said that if he dreamed of Yuyang, if he told me again, he wouldn't be able to hear it, so he didn't know what the secret was.
Jiang Zhuzhi stood at the edge of the port waving his hands vigorously, looking anxious.
She told others about her dream, but no one believed her except Liu Xiao.
She didn't want the person who helped her to be in danger.
"He Chu——" she shouted, "I dream..."
After a pause, he changed his words and shouted: "Yuyang said - it's dangerous at sea -"
He yelled and waved, trying to attract Liu Xiao's attention.
Liu Xiao did notice her, but just waved her hand in farewell.
Jiang Zhuzhi was extremely anxious: "Don't go! Come back - it's dangerous - it's dangerous -"
It was too far away and the sea wind was so strong that Liu Xiao couldn't hear clearly, but everyone on the shore turned to look at her.
Jiang Zhuzhi climbed over the guardrail and ran closer, still shouting.
Liu Xiao realized something was wrong, but it was too far away to hear what the other party was shouting.
He waved to Hua Wuchou who was not far away and asked if he could hear her.
After learning that it was the person of the opposite sex whom Liu Xiao had just met last night, she looked surprised: "You provoked a romantic relationship, if you ask me, how would I know? Maybe I'll ask you for money."
Liu Xiao was not in the mood to explain, so when she turned around to look again, she saw Jiang Zhuzhi leaping into the sea.
Hua Wuchou was also shocked: "Hey, how much debt did you owe this night...Eh!"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiao jumped down.
"We can take the boat back."
He shouted to Liu Xiao who was falling.
"It's too late." Liu Xiao replied.
Now in winter, the sea water is freezing cold. If Jiang Zhuzhi had not been in an emergency, he would not have risked his life to chase after him, so he had to go and have a look.
There were a lot of thoughts in mid-air, thinking about what kind of ability he should show.
Hua Wuchou introduced that most sailors could breathe underwater or walk on the water, so he decided immediately.
The divinity opened up, coupled with the power of thought, flattened the sea water under his feet.
As soon as he did all this, his body fell directly onto the sea.
Bang, a soft sound.
The surrounding sea surface shook like jelly, rising and falling.
Liu Xiao stood up, looked in the direction, and ran towards the place where Jiang Zhuzhi fell into the water.
Hua Wuchou on the Junjue had already ordered the ship to stop and informed Thyme at the same time. After Liu Xiao ran dozens of meters away, Thyme also came to the deck and looked over.
Every step Liu Xiao took was like stepping on jelly or cotton. With his feet as the center, the sea water around him was slightly sunken but could firmly support his weight.
"Walking on water?"
The crew members of the Junjue who were watching raised questions.
"Isn't he a physician?"
Thyme listened to the discussion without saying a word, and there was no expression of surprise on her face.
Jiang Zhuzhi knew how to swim, but he couldn't stand the cold water. Before he could swim far into the water, his hands and feet soon became cramped and numb, and the biting cold hit his heart.
This made her unable to feel the existence of her body, and she was even more unable to control her posture. She sank, leaving only one hand sticking out of the sea as if asking for help.
Liu Xiao came close, bent down and grabbed her hand. In an instant, he lifted her out of the water and carried her to the shore.
He laid her body flat and saw that she was still conscious, so he did not perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Instead, he reached out to untie her clothes and asked loudly if anyone around him had any clothes.
Soon several cotton-padded clothes were stuffed over him, and Liu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. His own bag was on the boat, and he would be in trouble if no one wanted to borrow it.
He took off Jiang Zhuzhi's cotton-padded clothes soaked in seawater, wrapped them in dry clothes, and then took off his pants again.
Her whole body was stiff and she couldn't resist at all, so she could only say no with all her strength.
"Don't worry, I'm covering it for you so it won't be exposed."
While talking, he covered her with some clothes, took off her wet pants and threw them aside.
After doing everything, Liu Xiao reached out and touched her forehead, which was still cold.
He didn't know what else he should do. The doctors from Shishen Kingdom could only heal the wounds quickly. There seemed to be no good way to deal with this situation.
It would be nice if there was a fire.
This is the beach, there is no fire.
The Junjue slowly approached, and Wu Qing jumped down with a thick rope in hand, pulling the entire ship closer.
His rich and resonant voice came: "The surname is He, the captain asked you to bring him up."
By the way, you can keep warm on the Junjue.
So he picked up the bamboo branches that were still shivering and wrapped them into rice dumplings, and walked towards the boat.
Wu Qing pulled her through the wooden stairs of the harbor and leaned her against the Junjue. Liu Xiao hugged Jiang Zhuzhi and boarded the ship.
Junjue left the shore again.
More than three hours later, Jiang Zhuzhi fully recovered, stopped shaking, and opened his eyes.
Liu Xiao had to take care of her all the time, and even gave her two bowls of hot soup, but she couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
"You're awake, how do you feel?" Liu Xiao asked.
"He Chu, you can't go to sea, don't do it." Jiang Zhuzhi stood up and found that he was lying on the quilt without clothes, so he grabbed the edge of the quilt and said hurriedly.
"Why?"
"I dreamed about Yuyang.
"He was in pain, covered in blood, and was caught by a huge sea monster. He shouted to me loudly, telling me to move quickly, not to go near the water, not to take a boat, and not to go find him."
"What kind of sea monster?" Thyme suddenly asked.
Liu Xiao had already explained the whole story to her, so she wasn't too surprised about dreams.
But her young and high-pitched voice startled Jiang Zhuzhi.
Thyme didn't realize until this moment that there was a third person in the room. She looked at the little girl suspiciously, and she was obviously a bit skeptical after Liu Xiao told her that he was the one who saved her.
Thyme's appearance was here, but she still answered:
"It's a translucent monster, I don't know what it looks like."
"It's semi-transparent and you can't even see what it looks like, so how do you know it's a sea monster?"
"Because Yuyang told me, he asked me not to go to sea."
"So you just know there's a monster, but you're not sure whether it's on land or in the sea."
Jiang Zhuzhi didn't expect that he would be left speechless when asked by a little girl. He said unconvinced: "Yuyang asked me not to go to the sea. He said there was danger in the sea, so it must be a sea monster."
Thyme stood up quickly, but due to her lack of height, she lacked momentum: "How do you know that monster is not a bird, or the long-legged one on the island?"
"I...because..."
Jiang Zhuzhi stuttered for a long time, unable to explain why. In the end, he could only talk to Liu Xiao again: "He Chu, never go to sea!"
The two women quarreled, and Liu Xiao shut her mouth knowingly. When Jiang Zhuzhi said this, she could only smile helplessly: "But we have already gone to sea."
"What?"
Jiang Zhuzhi sat up directly, holding the quilt with both hands and looking around. There were no windows in the room, so she didn't see anything, but she felt a slight shaking.
This shaking is somewhat obvious, especially for such a large cruise ship.
"Return, return quickly, you can't go to sea!"
Jiang Zhuzhi was terrified and kept begging Liu Xiao. She firmly believed that everything in the dream was real.
But Liu Xiao couldn't care about him now. The moment the boat started to rock, her head started to feel dizzy and her stomach felt uncomfortable.
The lunch I just had seemed... unconvincing.
Seeing that Liu Xiao's face was a little pale and ugly, Thyme asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
"Seasick, I need to take a rest."
"What is seasickness? Is it a disease? Why don't you treat yourself?"
Liu Xiao's heart was shaken, and her eyes were fixed on Thyme.
If the person on the train didn't know about motion sickness and Jiang Zhuzhi didn't know about motion sickness because of lack of experience, then it's unbelievable that Thyme didn't know about motion sickness.
She is the captain, and she must have seen many more people on the ship than she has seen since she came to this world. How could she not know about seasickness?
Is it true that no one ever gets seasick, just like no one ever gets motion sickness?
"It's not a disease, it's just that I don't like riding in cars. Every time I sit in a car for a long time, I feel like vomiting. Maybe it's the same on a boat."
Thyme nodded, said "I'll go out and take a look", and then left the room.
After she left, Jiang Zhuzhi kept asking what happened. Why she went to sea and why she took herself with her.
Liu Xiao could only tell her that the little girl just now was the captain. He asked why he didn't wait for her to get off the boat before leaving. The other party's answer was simple, there was not enough time.
Jiang Zhuzhi didn't know when time was running out.
Liu Xiao shook her head, signaled her to play well, covered her mouth and ran out of the room.
The shaking of the ship became more and more obvious, and unfixed items on the ground began to move slightly, indicating that the waves were relatively large at this time.
When I came to the deck, I saw Thyme waving her hands excitedly, directing Hua Wuchou and others to enter the water.
When I looked close to the edge, I saw a dense and dense area under the water. They were all black fish, but the two fins on the belly of this fish were specially transformed into hands and had no scales.
Black, dense, and greasy.
Just after he took a look, and the boat swayed, he lay on the edge and almost vomited, but luckily he held it back.
Hua Wuchou stared from a distance, with confusion on his face: "What's wrong with him?"
No one answered.
Liu Xiao looked at the fish underwater, his hands were working hard to push the hull of the boat, and the huge boat was shaking with their joint efforts.
Thyme approached and raised her hand to grab the corner of his clothes to prevent him from falling.
It's just that this action looks too much like a daughter holding her father's hand.
"She Ying is a fish that can live in both fresh water and sea water. Whenever it sees the shadow of an object on the water, it will attack. It tastes delicious."
"ah?"
After hearing the last sentence, Liu Xiao turned to look at Thyme and saw her face full of expectation.
