New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

The guards were stunned. They had never expected that the Japanese pirates on the ground would start shedding their skin and flesh for no reason, and then repeat the cycle over and over again. Even after they had gone through the cycle three times, the flesh on their bodies remained half-fallen off, which was a terrifying sight.

Some poisonous insects, snakes and ants were attracted from all around. After smelling the blood, they pounced on the Japanese pirates without hesitation and feasted on them. If the guards had not seen them and driven them away in time, those Japanese pirates would probably have been left with only bones.

But the strange thing was that they were hanging on to their last breath and could not die. They were in excruciating pain but could not faint or die, and they could not even scream.

The guards couldn't help but shudder when they saw this scene. Oh my god, it's too scary.

This must be the retribution for these Japanese pirates, God is punishing them.

However, seeing that they received the punishment they deserved, they had a lot of thoughts in their minds. They didn't feel happy or relieved. They just felt a little sad. It would be great if those people could be well.

Those people were probably mostly villagers from nearby areas. They were just trying to support their families or go hunting in the mountains, or they met with some unexpected events, but they were treated so cruelly. How painful it must have been to have their skin peeled off alive.

They felt their faces hurt just thinking about it, and they could only say "it's what they deserve" to the Japanese pirates who were suffering below.

When Fulun was taking Ertai back, he vaguely heard a painful groan coming from behind. He paused slightly, with a guess in his mind, but a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

He didn't point it out, so he just pretended he didn't know. After all, revenge is his motto.

When Xiaoyanzi saw Ertai being carried back by Fulun and met his clear eyes, she felt inexplicably guilty. She lowered her head, fearing that she would be scolded. However, she did not hear any scolding. Instead, she felt a big hand gently touching her head.

Then a sigh sounded, "Alas, our country is now facing external and internal troubles, which is really distressing. Those Japanese pirates should really be taught a lesson.

Princess, we will be able to return to the palace tomorrow. We will then send those pirates to prison and let them experience all kinds of torture. You can rest assured."

The gentle voice was firm. Xiaoyanzi and Ertai raised their heads, looked at each other and nodded in unison, "Yeah."

That night, Xiaoyanzi and Ertai were lying in the carriage. Both of them suffered from insomnia. Even if they fell asleep, they would fall into nightmares. Fulan was guarding the door.

Originally, Xiaoyanzi and Ertai should not have rested in the same carriage, but there were no women in the team. Instead of letting Xiaoyanzi be alone in the carriage, it would be better to let the nine-year-old Ertai accompany her.

The horizontal board in the carriage can be taken down and put together to form a simple small bed, which is covered with two thick quilts and a thinner quilt. Xiaoyanzi and Ertai lie together in this simple small bed, using thick clothes as pillows.

The two of them were covered with the same quilt. It was dark in the carriage, and it became very quiet outside, with only the chirping of insects and birds.

Xiaoyanzi curled up in bed, still thinking about the Japanese pirates. She wondered what poisons could be used to punish the pirates, and what kind of medicine could help her father and the others.

Ertai tilted his head and looked at Xiaoyanzi's eyes and eyebrows in the faint light.

Xiaoyanzi was the one he watched grow up and was his designated wife. Ever since he stuffed the jade pendant into her swaddling clothes when she was one year old, he had thought that he would marry her home when she grew up.

He is still young, and he cannot fully understand what marriage means, but when he saw Uncle Duanmu marry Aunt Huo, and watched them living together, sticking together every day, and having a close relationship, he probably understood one thing, that is, he hoped that Xiaoyanzi would only belong to him, and they could be together legitimately in the future without being criticized by outsiders.

He will work hard for this idea and goal.

At this time, the two of them lay quietly in the bed. Xiaoyanzi gradually felt a little sleepy. As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw those human skin masks scattered on the ground. Those faces were honest and kind...

Xiaoyanzi opened her eyes suddenly, her heart pounding and her breathing became heavier.

Ertai sensed her fear and found her little hand from under the quilt. He found her hand was cold, so he quickly held her hand and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, little swallow sister. Brother Ertai is here."

The soft and powerful voice rang in her ears, making Xiaoyanzi inexplicably relax. She tilted her head and looked at his handsome face through the faint light, slightly dazed.

He is only nine years old now, but he has gradually become like the handsome boy in his previous life. She couldn't help but reach out and touch his eyebrows, carefully tracing them. These eyebrows and eyes looked at her as gentle as water in her previous life, and he was so polite when he taught her to write. When she thinks back on it now, she still feels a little nostalgic and moved.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Ertai asked in a puzzled voice, and his childish voice brought Xiaoyanzi back to her senses.

Xiaoyanzi's cheeks flushed slightly. She was so shameless. Ertai was only nine years old and she actually wanted to kidnap him home.

She quickly put down her hand, huddled under the quilt, and argued, "I seemed to see something on your face just now, but it's gone now."

Ertai raised his lips into a faint smile, "Okay, I'm glad you're alright, have a good rest, you can go back to the palace tomorrow."

Just now, when he opened his eyes, he saw a hint of nostalgia in Xiaoyanzi's eyes. He didn't know why, but he felt a hint of joy in his heart, as if he had already been in her heart for a long time. However, there was still a trace of doubt, why did she miss him, and which era of herself did she miss?

"Well, have a good rest."

Xiaoyanzi turned over and stopped thinking about random things. She silently recited the mental method in her heart to calm herself down. However, she did not notice the boy behind her, staring at her back for a long time...
