"Quack, quack" Qiao Qiu stood on the bedside and cried. The sound echoed in the room, making Chen Ren, who was still sleeping, restless.
"Biuqiu, you are so noisy." Chen Ren, who was brought back very late from his senior sister's room last night, was very dissatisfied with the noise of the crows. However, remembering that today was the day of sailing, he got up from the bed and stretched himself.
Pushing open the window, the night sky has not completely dissipated. The stars and the bright moon have dimmed. Looking at the edge of the sea of clouds, a ray of rising sun has begun to render its own unique color.
Putting on the clothes given by the senior sister yesterday, the robe was navy blue and comfortable to the touch. The waist was tied by a pure white belt, and two ebony plums were slung across the belt. Even the long hair that was usually easily pulled up was also tied up at this moment.
A silver hairband was fixed on the back of his head. After everything was dressed neatly, he waved to the briquettes.
The sound of flapping wings came from the head of the bed, and he felt a weight on his shoulders. The briquettes were already standing on them, looking very energetic.
Pushed open the door and went straight to the inner hall.
The coolness of the night still lingers in the inner hall. Under the dim light, Ivan and Yiyi are already waiting for Chen Ren's arrival in the inner hall.
"Are the supplies ready?" Ivan's rich voice sounded.
"Dad, we are all ready. We did not notify the other apprentices in the martial arts school this time. We are the only ones seeing our junior brother off."
"Dad, is it alright with Mayor Ma?"
"It's nothing more than spying on me, and Chen Ren is a registered hunter. Although he and Mayor Ma are not in the same system, they will not take action against him." Obviously, Ivan knew something about the origin of the mayor.
But he didn't say much.
"But you, have you thought about it? Don't you want to go to sea with your junior brother?"
"Well" Yiyi lowered her head and said nothing more, but her father's aging cheeks lingered in her mind.
A sigh came out, and the inner hall fell into silence.
"Master, sister, I'm here." The voice came before anyone arrived.
Chen Ren quickly came to the inner hall, and the silent atmosphere was broken.
"Let's go, Yiyi and I will see you off." After that, he stood up and walked towards the back door of the backyard.
Yiyi grabbed the big cloth bag behind her and beckoned her junior brother to follow.
He watched this scene at the door, with a puzzled expression and stretched out his hand to scratch his hair. He thought the master had asked him to gather here because he had something to say. Why did he turn around and leave as soon as he arrived?
He curled his lips and immediately followed to help the senior sister carry the cloth bag.
The three of them went all the way to the beach, without seeing anyone in the town.
The Adventure floats alone near the shoreline.
The sun had just emerged at this moment, and the golden glow drove away the darkness in the sky.
"I looked through some ancient books yesterday about the steel-cutting realm, and I only found one way to do it. Fight." Ivan was the first to speak with fatigue in his tone, and he pulled out a booklet from his arms.
"It records the information of most swordsman masters in the East China Sea and the islands where they are located."
Chen Ren took the pamphlet and looked delighted. This was his hope for a breakthrough.
"Thank you, master."
Yiyi also said at this time: "There are 400,000 kroner in the cloth bag and several sets of clothes. A month's worth of supplies are prepared on board the Adventure."
"besides…"
She took off a sachet the size of an egg from her waist. It was all pure white with no trace of color.
Chen Ren paused when he took the sachet in his palm. It was actually made of leather?
I suppressed my confusion and put the sachet into my clothes, thinking to open it and take a look when I got on the boat.
"Take good care of yourself outside..." The senior sister was nagging at this moment like a sister who was sending her younger brother away. But he was not impatient at all. The kind of care that his own family showed in his senior sister was what Chen Ren decided.
Help her resolve the important reasons for her heartache.
"Sister Yiyi, pay attention to the newspaper, there will be news about me in it." Feeling the concern from his senior sister, he did not forget to make a witty remark.
A gust of fragrant wind hit him, and he was held in Yiyi's arms. His bumpy body was twitching slightly. Tears streaked across his face and soaked the top of Chen Ren's head, and the senior sister's sobs could be heard in his ears.
"Don't be in any newspaper. Come back alive. If you want to come back alive, I'll wait for you." Yiyi burst into tears and hugged the little guy tightly, as if she wanted to bury him in her arms.
His hands brushed the senior sister's back, comforting her.
"We also agreed to go treasure hunting together. I can't bear to leave you forever."
Seeing that the circles under his senior sister's eyes were red and swollen from crying, he felt even more distressed.
Chen Ren knew that his senior sister was constantly torn between revenge and himself, so he used the test to help his senior sister make a choice. Now he only needs to follow his own choice.
The sun rose, and the two of them were enveloped in the morning light, and they were not separated for a long time.
………
On the empty sea of clouds, a small adventure boat was traveling at high speed. The stern left a straight track on the sea, which gradually disappeared with the rise and fall of the waves.
Chen Ren was sitting in the wheelhouse at the moment. The rudder of the ship had been blocked by the built-in limiter and it was sailing straight to the east. He was playing with the white sachet in his hand. He didn't know what kind of cloud animal skin it was made of. It felt delicate and soft.
Gently pull the knot tied at the top, and the sachet is slowly opened.
A strand of hair appeared in the sachet. Maybe the senior sister wanted to use her hair to complete the journey with me.
Thinking of the senior sister facing the mirror alone at night and carefully cutting her hair, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He tied the rope again and hung the sachet on his belt. The white belt and the white sachet seemed to have been planned in advance.
"Gah!" Coal Ball heard the owner's laughter and chirped as well. Then he lowered his head and continued to comb his feathers.
A "boom" sound of thunder made Briquettes' whole body explode with panic. He flew to Chen Ren's shoulders in panic. He was obviously frightened by the sudden thunder.
At some point, the sky was covered by a large dark cloud, and the sea surface became dark, illuminated by lightning in the sky from time to time. A strong wind came with raindrops, the sea of clouds was undulating, and the Adventure was bumping up and down in the waves.
Seeing that the disaster was approaching, Chen Ren quickly removed the limiter on the rudder and headed towards the edge of the storm.
The gear that controls the water spray shell has been turned to the maximum, but it is still not as fast as the storm. Seeing that a seaspout is about to form in the center of the storm, more and more sweat is pouring on his forehead.
At this time, a huge wave formed in the rear and headed straight for the Adventure.
Perhaps it was due to the storm. The huge wave that had just formed suddenly broke in the air. A large ball of sea water fell from the sky and hit the sea of clouds fiercely, causing a wave of waves.
Fortunately, the largest mass of sea water hit directly behind the Adventure, and the waves caused it to accelerate forward.
Chen Ren felt that after the ship's hull shook violently, a thrust came from behind, pushing him out of the danger zone.
He had no time to recognize the direction and could only steer the Adventure away from the storm behind him.
Coal Ball was now hiding on his shoulder, covering his head with his wings, shivering, as if he was shadowed by the storm.
