Flowing Years

Bai Zezhi rode for two days, looking at the endless sea below from the hillside.Fanxia borders on three sides and faces the sea on one side. This is the Fanxia Linhai area.Bai Zezhi once read in the Miscellaneous Notes of Anecdotes that there are many small islands in this vast ocean.The people on the island are simple and honest, living a life isolated from the world.Bai Zezhi took this as a gamble.Mosang people live in the cold north and are not good at water, so they are very good at crossing the river.Bai Zezhi felt that the Mosang people would be afraid to swim in such an ocean.He intends to escape to the island for a while.

In a seaside town, Bai Zezhi placed Ma in a fisherman's family and entrusted Yin Er to take care of them.He bought a boat in the town, added some necessary supplies, and set out to sea on a calm day.He looked at the charts drawn from his own memory, looked at the sun and wind during the day, and at night relied on the stars to identify the direction of the boat.

When Qilie arrived at the seaside town, he just frowned looking at the vast ocean.

"My lord, there are indeed traces of the little general Bai coming here. The little general Bai left the horse here." Ser said with the report of the hidden guards.

"According to the fishermen who were fishing, a foreigner went out to sea that day. According to their description, he looked like little general Bai." Seeing Qilie's increasingly ugly face, Se's voice became lower and lower.

Qilie slammed his fist on the nearby tree, his eyebrows lowered.He sacrificed everything to finally be equal to him, but he fled here.In order to avoid him, he went to sea regardless of his own life!

"Go to sea tomorrow!" Qi Lie dropped a sentence.

Trembling, he went down to prepare for going to sea.It would be fine to wait for little general Bai here, why bother to go to sea with him.Ser groaned inwardly.Thinking of the word going to sea, Se's legs couldn't stand up straight.

Ser went out for half a day and found that things were easy to buy, but it was difficult to hire people to go to sea.The fishermen here make a living by fishing, but none of them are familiar with the vast ocean, let alone dare to go out to sea.

"The fishermen here all say that there are huge monsters that devour people in the sea, and no one dares to go after promising a lot of money." Se looked at Qi Lie's face and said cautiously.

Qi Lie understands that those who buy rashly do not necessarily know about going to sea, but those who do know a little do not dare to go to sea.The risk of going to sea is quite high, but fishing along the coast can lead a safe life.How dare he be so dangerous!

"Go to sea tomorrow." Qi Lie still repeated this sentence.

Ser understood that there was no one, and he was going to sea too.

Qilie took the information on the sea that Se found and sat aside to read it carefully, ignoring Se's worries on the side.

The next day, Se persuaded him a few more words, and Qi Lie insisted on going his own way, and boarded the boat first.The hidden guards had no choice but to follow the orders and boarded the boat with Qi Lie.Se had no choice but to sigh and follow after seeing the master put his own life at risk because of a person like this.

When Qilie went out to sea, Bai Zezhi was tossing in the wind and waves.He was quite peaceful in Shanghai for the past two days, and he could still sit on the boat and fish during the day.Bai Zezhi frowned when he saw the sky at night.

On the second day, sure enough, a strong wind blew up and rolled up thousands of waves.The boat swayed on the sea, sometimes setting off a few feet high, and sometimes watching the huge waves as high as the city wall next to it from the bottom of the waves.When Bai Zezhi bought a boat, he picked a sturdy one. In this violent wind and waves, he had no ability to resist, and could only follow the waves.Looking at the churning waves around him, Bai Zezhi felt fearful and helpless for the first time.

Seeing the big waves coming over like a mountain overturning, Bai Zezhi shrank his pupils, kicked his feet and jumped up.In just one breath, the boat was torn apart by the huge waves, and scattered up and down with the waves.Bai Zezhi raised his breath and stepped on several waves, pushing forward in the strong wind and huge waves.The white clothes were bulging by the wind, like a white butterfly struggling in the autumn wind.A strong wind blew, and Bai Zezhi was thrown several miles, rolled several times in the air, and was finally submerged by the overturning huge waves.

When Bai Zezhi woke up, he was being pressed on his stomach and patted on his back.

"Cough...cough cough..." Bai Zezhi choked up two mouthfuls of water and opened his eyes with difficulty.

The man helped him up, and seeing that he was fine after spitting out water, he stopped caring about him.

"Thank you benefactor for saving me, please be respected by Zezhi!" Bai Zezhi saluted this man according to the courtesy.

The man didn't refuse, he just accepted his gift.

"You are an outsider from the island." The man looked at him and said, "You are very courageous. Very few people come to our Yibei Island alive."

Although this guy was rather dull, he chatted with Bai Zezhi casually.Bai Zezhi understood in a few words, the man's name was Su Hai, and everyone called him Hai Bo.Few people go fishing so far away from the island, which means that Haibo is an expert at fishing on the island.

Just as the sun was setting.Bai Zezhi followed behind Hai Bo, carrying the things he had marked and walking slowly.The division of labor on the island is very clear, men go out to sea to fish, and women grow vegetables and sew.Walking along this road, most of the men are cooking the things they have brought up, and the women are starting to prepare the meal for the evening, and the smoke is rising from the house.They seldom saw people from outside the island, so they went up to ask Haibo a few words one by one.It didn't take long for all the men, women and children on the island to know about it. Haibo brought back a handsome outsider.

Under Haibo's guidance, Bai Zezhi lived in the uninhabited Orion House in the middle of the mountain.A previous hunter was the only hunter on the island.Orion had no descendants, and the house was vacant after his death.

Bai Zezhi thought it was pretty good.He doesn't know how to fish, and it's easy to go up the mountain to hunt some small animals.With the hunted things, Bai Zezhi traded some vegetables with the islanders.Soon, Bai Zezhi got along well with the islanders.Go up the mountain during the day and take a look around. When you go down the mountain, you can take two rabbits or three pheasants. If you are lucky, you will catch a goat or a deer.Bai Zezhi usually used the prey to sell for money, and then exchanged for some food and vegetables.Such a day is very comfortable.

This season is the busiest time on Yi Pei Island, and the boats that go out to sea every day return with full load.The fishermen in Ipei Island said that these two days were the time when they caught the most fish in history, many times more than usual.The whole Ipei Island is in a festive atmosphere.

As usual, in the evening, Bai Zezhi carried a wild boar he had caught down the mountain to sell.Along the way, Bai Zezhi heard a few sporadic words, as if an outsider drifted by the sea, and his heart skipped a beat.Will Qilie take such a big risk to come here?But there is only one person, and there will always be people around Qilie, it is impossible to have only one person.Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, it came by floating, so it didn't come to this island smoothly.Along the way, Bai Zezhi had ups and downs in his heart, and when he sold the little pig, he almost forgot to take the money.

In the end, Bai Zezhi asked someone, planning to visit this outsider to reassure himself.There is only one witch doctor who knows a little about herbal medicine on this island, and this person can only be sent here.When Bai Zezhi arrived, he saw many people surrounding the stone house of the witch doctor.

Bai Zezhi leaned forward and glanced through the window.With just one glance, Bai Zezhi was sure that this person was Qi Lie.Bai Zezhi lowered his eyebrows, turned around and left.He had never seen Qi Lie in such a mess before, with messy hair, tattered clothes, some blood on his face, and a little stubble showing through.There was only one thing in Bai Zezhi's mind, he really came!His premonition all along was true!Bai Zezhi knew that Qi Lie must have heard the news that he was going to sea, but he didn't back down, he just went to sea regardless!What a madman!
