Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 96 Palpitations
There were nearly 500 sailors on the two sea-going ships, but now most of them have been killed or injured. Except for the few handcuffs who have been in the bottom warehouse and have not come up, the rest of the people are more or less lacquered.

After Su Yue sorted out her mood and put away her things, she came out to help again.

Xie Jue and the others were also wounded, Xie Jue had a slash on his arm, Xie Qi was hit by a poison dart, and Tang Bing and the other guards even got a few slashes (two were slashed by a mast) .

It's just that their injuries are compared to sailors...

Su Yue just put on a rough bandage and left it behind.

Fortunately, this time Li Xiang bought a large amount of Jinchuang medicine (to be given to Xie Jue), and it just so happened that he didn't sell it anymore, and used all of it.

After working until midnight, Su Yue was too tired to stand up straight, and the boat was cleaned up.

More than 80 people died on board, and the bodies were lined up on the deck, wrapped in white cloth.

It is the custom of sea ships that if a sailor dies at sea, they will be buried at sea. This time, even though it is in the waters of the Song Dynasty, the custom is still followed on board.

As for the sea burial at sea, women who are not immediate relatives are not allowed to participate, so Su Yue obediently went back to the cabin that had been cleaned, no matter what happened to her, she just fell asleep.

Xie Jue took the lead, and Li Xiang watched on. After the sea burial, the remaining sailors repaired the rudder and sail, and continued to sail south.

Xie Jue waited for Li Xiang to fall asleep, then returned to his cabin, went in to see that Su Yue was not there, turned around immediately, and went to Su Yue's cabin.

Her cabin door has not been repaired yet, only half of the door is closed, standing outside, you can see her sleeping with her clothes on.

Xie Jue stood quietly for a while, walked in, and picked her up.

Su Yue snorted, did not even open her eyes, and continued to sleep like a dead pig.

Xie Jue looked down at her for a while, then turned around, carried her back to his own cabin, put her on the bed, and started to untie the dirty clothes on her body.

Xie Qi followed him all the time, and silently handed over a piece of Su Yue's clean clothes. Xie Jue stared back at him, rubbed his nose, and obediently backed out.

He also closed the hatch very intimately.

Tang Bing leaned against the railing of the corridor, watching him silently.

Seeing that Xie Qi leaned against him, he said, "What do you want to say?"

"Those jewels were scattered on the bed, and the man was killed when he went to pick up those jewels." Tang Bing said lightly.

At that time, you can still be so calm...

Xie Qi was stunned for a moment, he really didn't pay attention to the situation in the cabin (no time), after thinking about it, he said: "Yue girl, she has never been a naive girl who doesn't understand anything."

Tang Bing looked sideways at him.

Xie Qi smiled lightly, and said: "I told you, how did our master meet Yue girl, and why did he want to take in Yue girl?"

Tang Bing shook his head.

Xie Qi recounted how when Xie Jue wanted to go to Longxi Village to find Long Tuan, he happened to meet a mother and daughter who were being bullied on the way.

Tang Bing's expression was indifferent, but she said lightly in her heart, did she say that there was no hope...

"Yue girl is very strong, powerful, and capable..." Xie Qi looked up at the sky, and said softly.

It hurts to be able to do...

"Brother Seven, you have to tell Master not to take her with you anymore." Tang Bing said with lowered eyes.

Xie Qi was startled, turned his head to look at him, and sighed after a long time: "Yes."

Running a boat is inherently dangerous, but Xie Jue's identity is even more dangerous.

Follow them, this kind of thing is indispensable...

The voices outside were faint and vague, Xie Jue frowned slightly and glanced at the door, then turned back to look at Su Yue who was on the bed.

She didn't even respond to such a big movement as changing her clothes, which shows how deeply she slept.

Thinking about it, she was only ten years old after all, not to mention the fright she received today, even if she was bandaged behind, an adult would not be able to bear it.

Xie Jue stretched out his hand, and slowly held Su Yue's hand, then bent his whole body, curled up beside her, held her hand tightly, and pressed it to his lips.

Feeling the warmth of that palm, Xie Jue's body slowly trembled.

If, if she wasn't so smart, if there were no jewels in the room, wouldn't he be facing a cold corpse now?

At that time, he should have killed that man before saving Li Xiang's...

He clearly told her that he would not let any thief come up...

At that moment, when he watched the thief break through the door, he felt his heart was empty.

At that time, seeing his mother being taken away by those people, and seeing his own little sister being thrown into the fire by those people, he was not so afraid or terrified.

At that time, he was more angry.

Because falling into that situation is an outcome they have to accept in their status. After enjoying the benefits brought by that status, they naturally have to bear the corresponding risks and responsibilities.

But Yue'er isn't...

She has never enjoyed any kind of glory and wealth. She is just an ordinary girl, a girl who doesn't even want the status of Miss Houmen, the daughter of the prince's savior. , she could have lived a peaceful and happy life.

If not following him...

If it wasn't for his soft heart.

If he wasn't worried about exposing himself, he knew that what Li Xiang did would cause future troubles and he didn't act.

If, after she reminded her, even if Li Xiang and Liu Guanshi didn't understand, he would check the ship first.

He weighs the pros and cons, and habitually thinks twice before acting. He knew from a young age that he should not be impulsive or reckless in anything.

What he carried was not only his own life, but also the lives of Xie Qi and the others.

There are also those innocent souls who disappeared in the fire, and the blood feud they left behind.

He cannot be impulsive.

but……

"Yue'er." Xie Jue kissed Su Yue's hand, and said in a low voice, "I won't take you out to sea, I won't take you to any dangerous places, never again..."

After sailing for five days, the ship did not enter Quanzhou Port, but stopped at the same place as last time.

Xie Qi got off the boat and went ashore, and came back half a day later, brought more than thirty people aboard, and then sent Su Yue off the boat.

Someone on the shore picked up Su Yue, put Su Yue into a carriage, and sent her to the small village where she lived last time.

That Zhuangzi was already empty. Although the room was cleaned, it was deserted after all.

Su Yue was thinking about how to improve her life, Rong Shan brought the two of them here.

Then, he took her back to Quanzhou and lived in the small house he bought.

The small house has been renovated, and the furniture is much neater.

There are also four daughters-in-law and mother-in-law who don't talk much and are very quick to do things.

Rong Shan picked a daughter-in-law in her early thirties to take care of Su Yue taking a bath, eating, and cleaning the room.

Su Yue resumed her leisurely life of practicing calligraphy, reading books, drinking tea and counting money.

Even the Chinese New Year was spent with Rong Shan.

Until the end of the first month, Xie Jue returned to Quanzhou with Gong Shi's boat.

Bring back Li Xiang's tablet.
