Quick Travel: Save the poor little villain

There were far fewer people on the return ferry than on the way there.

Seeing that Jinchen had bought a lot of things and offered a generous fare, the captain decided to give them a ride across the river first.

When the boat was halfway there, Bu Changji vaguely heard a few slight knocking sounds coming from the bottom of the boat. If one didn't listen carefully, one would think it was just fish hitting the boat. In fact, it was a more covert underwater communication method among the pirates.

He had an idea and stood up and walked to the stern under the pretext of looking at the scenery. He pretended to be curious and lay down on the side of the boat, looking into the blue sea.

The sea water is clear, and you can vaguely see a blurry figure below following quietly like a big fish.

Bu Changji tapped the outside of the boat's side very quickly with his fingertips, asking what was going on.

The man underwater responded.

"Fang Yunyao has roughly identified several possible locations and wants to search the muddy mudflats to the west. However, villagers occasionally go there to collect seafood. I'd like to ask for instructions on whether to silence or avoid them if we encounter them."

Bu Changji frowned and responded quickly.

"Don't alert the enemy for now. Try to conceal your whereabouts and avoid the villagers. I will find an opportunity to personally confirm it as soon as possible. Make sure the action is effective and don't be reckless."

The subordinate reported again:

"Should we give Fang Yunyao a simple disguise to prevent him from being discovered by the officers and soldiers?"

Bu Changji replied: "Yes."

He had just finished the underwater conversation and was secretly relieved when he suddenly heard Jinchen's movement behind him.

Jinchen also came over and looked at the bottom of the water in confusion.

"What are you looking at here, talking to the fish in the sea?"

Bu Changji was so frightened that he shook and grabbed Jinchen's arm to prevent him from looking at the bottom of the boat. His heart was pounding.

He thought quickly and a look of loneliness and sadness quickly appeared on his face. His voice became lower and choked with sobs.

"...No, it's just...I went to town today and I'm a little homesick for my family."

Bu Changji lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders slightly, acting with true emotion.

After all, I am still a refugee, so it is best to disguise it.

Looking at him like this, Jinchen remembered the town officials searching for the prince, and was successfully led astray again.

His eyes softened, he sighed, and reached out to ruffle Bu Changji's hair. "Don't be sad, I'll make you something delicious when I get home."

The sea breeze blew by, ruffling their hair.

Bu Changji raised his head in a daze, looking at the comfort and pity in Jinchen's eyes, the gentleness did not seem fake.

For some unknown reason, he did not dodge, but lowered his head slightly, allowing Jinchen's hand to gently stroke the top of his head.

Jinchen sniffed the fragrance on Bu Changji's body, sat down next to Bu Changji with satisfaction, and continued to touch him.

My wife smells so good.

After a while, Bu Changji took Jinchen's hand away and said, "Stop touching me. My hair is going to get messed up."

He turned his head away, looking uncomfortably at the sea and the seabirds that had landed on the boat, leaving Jinchen with his side profile.

Jinchen took the opportunity to look under the boat and felt even more...

Young Master, you are so mysterious.

He thought calmly, his hands in his pockets.

-

Two days later, the desolate mudflat in the west.

After a simple disguise, with his face painted black and wearing tattered pirate clothes, Fang Yunyao, accompanied by Hai Shisan and several other pirates, came here in high spirits and carefully avoided areas where villagers often gathered.

Some villagers saw them coming down from the direction of the stone building from afar. They were trembling with fear at first, thinking that the pirates were coming to rob again. However, they found that this group of people actually went straight to the deserted mudflats, and they couldn't help but feel confused.

These pirates looked different from other vicious monsters. They didn't rob fishing boats or hurt villagers.

He just wandered around in the valley and its vicinity all day long, doing nothing, like a drifter.

The behavior is really strange.

When they arrived at the mudflats, Fang Yunyao found a big rock, spread out the map he had drawn from memory, and studied it for a long time with a group of pirates.

Pointing and talking, feeling dizzy.

However, after struggling for most of the day and turning over almost all the rocks on the mudflat, they still couldn't find any trace of the entrance to the treasure.

Fang Yunyao was the first to lose his temper. He slumped down on the rock in a completely ungraceful manner, wailing weakly.

"No, no, I'm dying of heat!"

"Where's your boss? Didn't he say he'd find a chance to come? Where's he? If you can't find him soon, I'll be dried up like a dried fish!"

Hai Shisan said with a bitter face, "Prince Fang, keep your voice down. You don't know that the fisherman in the family where our boss is hiding is not an ordinary person!"

"That fisherman is a hidden martial artist, very ferocious! Our boss is under his nose, I'm afraid it won't be easy to escape!"

He was exaggerating.

The pirate next to him, who had been subdued by Jinchen underwater, chimed in with lingering fear, "Yes, yes!"

"That guy doesn't look like a human in the water. He's incredibly strong and can hold his breath for a long time. He's even stronger than those of us who spend years at sea. He's simply a water monster!"

Fang Yunyao grew up in the royal palace in the capital. The most vicious pirates he had ever seen were Bu Changji and his gang of pirates. How could he imagine that there were people more perverted than pirates?

He was frightened at the moment, patted his chest in fear, and muttered softly, "Let's wait a little longer... Your boss has had a hard time, hiding in such a scary house..."

As he was speaking, Bu Changji's figure appeared at the edge of the mudflat, walking towards them.

Fang Yunyao saw it and immediately cast a sympathetic look.

However, as he watched, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Fang Yunyao subconsciously touched his face, which was painted black and yellow and rough for disguise... Of course, it had become a lot rougher during this time in Bailangao.

He then looked closely at Bu Changji, who was getting closer and closer, and tilted his head suspiciously, "Strange, Boss Bu, why do I feel that... you seem to be a little whiter and more tender than before?"

"You look much better too?" The more he looked, the more certain he became. "It's not an illusion! What... magic elixir did you use?"

Bu Changji: "..."

Bu Changji was stunned by Fang Yunyao's question and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face.

Momentarily speechless.

You can't say that she was carefully fed by the fisherman in her family, with good fish and shrimps every day, and even smeared with ointment, so she is getting better and better.

He, Bu Changji, is a dreaded pirate leader, how could he be bothered about whether his skin is white or not!

It's really damaging to our reputation!

Bu Changji immediately frowned, glared at Fang Yunyao wantonly and fiercely, and made some random excuses in a bad mood.

"The weather at the seaside is so unpredictable, so what's so strange about having two days of daylight and three days of darkness? Stop talking nonsense and find your things quickly. If you dawdle any longer, you won't be able to get back before dark!"

He successfully changed the subject and maintained his authority as the boss.

Bu Changji is a man who has been risking his life at sea for many years and can accurately identify directions in the worst weather and the most complex waters.

He picked up Fang Yunyao's crooked map, glanced at it a few times, and combined it with on-site observation. He quickly figured out the clues and walked towards the direction that everyone had ignored.

The further we went, the more desolate it became. We were almost out of the mudflats, and all that was left around us were rugged rocks and the sound of crashing waves.

Suddenly, voices and footsteps were faintly heard from the front.

Hai Shisan and others became alert instantly, and subconsciously reached for the daggers hidden at their waists.

Bu Changji's ears twitched slightly, and he raised his hand and made a very quick gesture, silently stopping his men.

He squinted his eyes and looked through the cracks in the rocks, and recognized the young man walking in front. It was Zhang Yupan, who was rescued from the sea by Jinchen.

Looking at the young men following behind him, they all held fishing nets and small buckets in their hands, as if they had come together to this sparsely populated mudflat to try their luck and pick up seafood.

"Get down and hide." Bu Changji ordered in a low voice.

Fortunately, the area where they were was full of reefs and was hidden enough.

The pirates were well-trained and crouched quietly in the shadow of the rocks.

Only Fang Yunyao next to him reacted a little too slowly and didn't have time to hide completely.

But he had changed his appearance at this moment, his face was dark and yellow, and his clothes were tattered, so he was not very conspicuous among the rocks.

Zhang Yupan and his group also discovered Bu Changji standing alone by the reef.
