A mysterious apprentice

After Bai Yuan went back, he lay down for a long time before recovering, Liang Xihe dealt with all those pirates and took all their captives.

Naturally, Xiao Tong and his master also came over, and for some reason, the two of them got a pretty good room, right next to Bai Yuan and the others.

In the next few days, Xiao Tong would come over to play with Bai Yuan and the others from time to time, obviously there was nothing interesting, he just wanted to come over and have a look.

"That, Brother Xiao, this, is it okay?" The little boy ran over not long after lunch, and Bai Yuan was sitting on the edge of the bed knitting rope, and raised his head boredly after hearing the sound.

The little boy came over with a bright red apple, and then looked at Xiao Zheng expectantly.

"Are you coming today too? You really like to watch this." The red thread circled around in the hand and came back from an appropriate place.

Xiao Tong giggled twice, staring at Xiao Zheng without blinking, waiting for him to perform.

In fact, it's not a big deal, and Xiao Zheng has already mastered the skills by coming here once a day.

He pressed the apple with both hands, and then with a little force with his thumb, he snapped the apple in half from the middle.

These two halves look very neat, and it is more neat than cutting with a knife, and even with a knife, it may not be so neat.

"Wow, brother Xiao is really good, really good."

Naturally, the core inside the apple was also cut in half. The little boy fiddled with his fingers, and then happily ran over.

Xiao Zheng went back to the side of Bai Yuan, and took out a sewing kit from the side.

Most of the rescued people were civilians, so they brought much more things than the group of them who traveled around. Xiao Zheng also unlocked a new hobby, embroidery.

"It's been two days in a row. If you do it like this, will that apple be different?"

Xiao Zheng opened his hands: "In order to distinguish clearly, I will use a little internal strength."

Then there is nothing special about this, Bai Yuan has also felt Xiao Zheng's internal strength, although the method of cultivation is not clear, but the breath is still quite pure.

But it's not a big deal.

"Dangdang! Ah, it's strange, didn't Tongtong come over to play today?"

Bai Yuan and Xiao Zheng did each other silently for a while, when Zhao Xuyu suddenly appeared beside the door, with both hands raised, it seemed that he intended to scare people.

"He just went back." Bai Yuan replied without raising his head.

Zhao Xuyu pursed her lips, and walked over to look at the things the two of them were tinkering with: "You guys are so serious, you actually hired female workers on the boat. Is this interesting?"

She pointed at the piece of red cloth that Xiao Zheng was embroidering, and then pinched the red knot that Bai Yuan was weaving.

Zhao Xuyu naturally wouldn't be interested in these things, how could she, a child of the world, care about these things trapped in the boudoir.

Bai Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "It's just to pass the time, by the way, Liang Xihe is still in the room alone today?"

"Yes." Zhao Xuyu wavered in front of the two of them, and finally chose to pull away the chair next to him, "Since saving those people, he has been shrinking in the room, and he will open when delivering meals." Going down the door, I don’t know if something happened.”

Bai Yuan didn't care much about Liang Xihe, he was just a little worried about whether they could reach the other side smoothly.

"However, I heard from other people that we will be there tomorrow night at the latest. If it is soon, we may be able to reach Wanhe Villa tomorrow." Zhao Xuyu said happily, "I really want to see Liu Fengrou I don't know what kind of beauty the number one beauty will be after she decides to get married."

Bai Yuan was puzzled: "When you marry, you marry. Is there any difference?"

Zhao Xuyu was slightly annoyed: "It must be different, Bai Yuan, when you live alone, is it the same as when you live with Xiao Zheng?"

Bai Yuan got stuck when he asked, but Xiao Zheng, who was sitting next to him, had already changed to another color of silk thread.

"Ah, Sister Zhao, you're here!" Fortunately, the appearance of the little boy avoided Bai Yuan's embarrassment, the apple in his hand was gone, and he took a small toy instead.

This child is only nine years old this year. He has no father and no mother. He was adopted by that old man since he was a child, who is both his master and his savior.

"Master is a, um, what's his name, oh yes, a wandering swordsman!" That day he introduced his identity to Bai Yuan and others very excitedly, and seemed to be in high spirits.

It's just that a few people came from Baiyuan. Most likely, Xiaotong's master is just an ordinary person who has learned swordsmanship two or three times by chance. He has some ability, but he can't even count as a drop of water in the rivers and lakes.

And the reason why he took the little boy on a boat trip was because he was going to join a distant relative.

"I'm old, I'm afraid I can't continue to take care of Xiaotong, but he is still young, so I have to think of other ways."

That's why Bai Yuan and the others let Xiao Tong come to play every day.

"If only I could understand Brother Xiao's swordsmanship and Sister Zhao's medical skills in the future, then I will be able to protect Master and prevent him from being bullied by others!"

"It's definitely possible." Zhao Xuyu stretched out his hand and ruffled the boy's hair quite simply, it was soft and very comfortable.

Bai Yuan has almost gotten used to life on the boat these few days, obviously there was nothing he could do before, but now there is no problem at all.

After dinner, he rarely walked out of the room to move his body a little bit. He always felt an unnatural feeling of stagnation all over his body. He had to move his body well when he got to the shore.

Xiao Zheng stayed in the room and continued to fiddle with the things in his hands, so he left Bai Yuan to wander outside alone.

At night, the boat is also very bright. The whole boat looks like a moving gem, and the moonlight in the sky is also very bright. There is no wind or waves, so it should be able to reach the destination smoothly.

Bai Yuan only strolled around when he first boarded the boat, so he didn't know much about the structure of the boat, so he just walked back and forth repeatedly.

When he tentatively turned a corner, he saw something unexpected.

This statement is not correct, it should be said that I saw some incredible pictures.

Xiaotong's master, that guy who sounds like an ordinary swordsman, is sitting on a futon at the moment.

It was a corner that light couldn't reach, so the few red stones in front of the old man were particularly conspicuous in the dark world.

They are more bright red than the apples brought by the little boy before, and they are smooth without any holes, as if they are naturally occurring stones.

But it didn't seem to be the case, even though the distance was quite far, Bai Yuan could feel a bit of a weird smell of blood.

The smell of blood is not ordinary, it is not a simple killing but more like a cruel sacrifice.

Bai Yuan frowned subconsciously, the old man didn't seem to notice that an outsider was observing inside through a gap.

The old man was muttering words, and the strange sentences couldn't be connected into chapters, but Bai Yuan had goose bumps all over his body, feeling an indescribable nausea.

What the hell is this old man doing? It doesn't feel like an ordinary person.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Yuan still chose to take the initiative. If he asked, he would definitely give an answer.

"Please……"

"What are you doing here, Bai Yuan."

A voice came from behind, and Bai Yuan immediately turned his head in shock. Liang Xihe was standing not far away, watching him quietly.

"What are you doing here, did you see anything interesting?" Liang Xihe repeated with a smile, and then walked towards Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan, who turned around, could only see the darkness from the corner of his eye. He straightened his messy clothes: "No, it's nothing, just looking around. But Liang Xihe, it seems that you haven't come out for a few days It's okay."

Liang Xihe groaned suspiciously, and then he stretched out his hand to press Bai Yuan's shoulder, and Bai Yuan quickly and deftly turned to the other side.

He didn't care about losing his hands, instead he took half a step back: "It's nothing, I was just practicing, and suddenly realized something, because I didn't want to miss the time for comprehension, so I just stayed in the room."

What he said is well-founded, at least he can justify himself, and Bai Yuan is not happy to expose it or ask questions.

Anyway, now he wants to know what the old man will do again, but Liang Xihe obviously won't let him do what he wants, although he didn't get any closer, he started talking nonsense to prevent Bai Yuan from moving.

And because of the worries in his heart, Bai Yuan was unwilling to directly speak out about the problem.

"It's a little surprising that your apprentice didn't follow you today." Liang Xihe looked around and asked knowingly.

Bai Yuan snorted softly: "It's nothing, it's normal, he also has his own affairs, I'm just his master in martial arts and swordsmanship."

Liang Xihe's eyes wandered for a moment, and then, as if it was time, he turned around neatly: "Sorry, Bai Yuan, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to order, so I'm afraid I can only leave first. Don't stay outside for too long by yourself, after all, you're about to land soon."

He left quite quickly after speaking, it seemed that he didn't want to be alone with Bai Yuan at all, but Bai Yuan was also unwilling.

And when Liang Xihe left, the old man and the red stone in the gap had completely disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.

But there was still a disgusting and disgusting smell in the air, staying there, and he was unwilling to dissipate easily no matter what.

Is it just a coincidence?

The appearance of the old man and the child, as well as the direction they were going to flee to, unexpectedly involved Shao Yipeng, Liu Fengrou's upcoming husband.

And what Liang Xihe did just now, no matter how you look at it, it can't be a coincidence.

That being the case, what kind of conspiracy would it be?
