Chapter 183 Pipa Lady
The cargo ship sailed quietly towards Sirius City.
Looking out from the small window of the warehouse, you can see the sparkling blue water and the azure and pink mountains.
Unless his limbs were extremely sore, he would get up and move around for a while. The rest of the time, Huo Gannian would sit on the couch hugging Yun Chen.
When the weather was clear and the sun was bright and warm, the two of them leaned against each other and watched Huo Gan read the picture books and comic strips that were manually edited.
The warm sunlight shines on the top of the head, making people feel warm.
When the ship docked to unload cargo, Huo Gannian would secretly reach out from the small window, grab a handful of mud, and make clay figures with Yun Chen.
After making clay figures, they made small houses, small tables, small stools...
Finally, Huo Gannian would make a huge bed, put the two clay figures on it, and stack them tightly together, with their heads stuck together and unable to separate.
"Why does the clay figure always lie like this on the couch?" Yun Chen asked.
"Then on the table? On the chair? On the swing? In the woods? I can do anything. It's up to you." Huo Gannian answered.
"You bastard!"
"I'm only an asshole to you."
After playing house enough, Huo Gannian would roll the mud into balls, aim at the captain who was unloading cargo on the shore, and accurately throw the mud balls into the back of the captain's collar.
Seeing the captain touching his collar and looking around with a puzzled look on his face, Yun Chen covered his mouth and fell on the couch laughing.
Occasionally, when it was cloudy and rainy, drizzle drifted in through the window, and the breeze was cool and pleasant, so the two of them hugged each other and took a nap.
It was so quiet and intimate, just the two of them in this small cargo room in this vast world.
No errands, no assassinations, no accidents, no one to disturb.
For the first time, Huo Gannian felt what it meant to have a peaceful and peaceful life.
He doesn't need flowers or beautiful scenery, nor does he need gold, silver, treasures, power or status. Just holding Yun Chen in his arms and watching the sun rise and set through the small window, and the stars and the moon competing for brilliance, is the most precious thing in his life.
Are wealth and power really important? Is it worth it for Yun Chen and himself to risk their lives together?
For a moment, such a question flashed through Huo Gannian's mind.
He deliberately didn't think too much, just greedily immersed in every moment alone with her.
But peace is always short-lived, and soon the cargo ship will dock at Comet City to unload its cargo.
The captain unlocked the cargo hold and asked Huo Gannian and Yun Chen to go up to the deck for some fresh air.
During this journey, at first, the owner of the cargo ship would often open the hatch and call out, "Gentlemen, you may go on deck now—"
But since the two men entered the storage room, they showed no intention of coming out. Even several times when I opened the door, I could hear their laughter, and they didn't seem to be feeling depressed at all.
The captain simply didn't interrupt them and just sighed at what Huo Gannian said. It turned out to be true that the two of them were in an illicit relationship that was not accepted by their family, so they had to sneak across the river.
But after a long time, Yun Chen couldn't hold it in any longer.
When the hatch opened today, she ran out first, stood on the deck and stretched herself, looking like she was enjoying her freedom for the first time in a long time.
Huo Gannian seemed reluctant to leave, and kept looking back at the small warehouse, as if he didn't want to come out.
The cargo ship gradually approached the Comet City Wharf. From a distance, one could see a long river fish market on the shore, with people buying things shoulder to shoulder, making it very lively.
Not far from the cargo ship, several passenger ships of different sizes slowly approached and paused behind the cargo ship, waiting in line to dock.
There were no patrol officers at the dock, so Huo Gannian and Yun Chen were enjoying the breeze on the deck openly when they suddenly heard a noise coming from a passenger ship closest to the cargo ship.
Yun Chen looked over curiously——
A luxury passenger ship is anchored in the water.
On the deck of the passenger ship, a young man in gorgeous clothes was sitting on a throne, and a large group of guards gathered around him, laughing and making noises in one direction.
The group of guards became louder and louder, laughing and whistling non-stop, attracting the attention of people on the surrounding ships.
Suddenly, a slender figure ran out from the crowd, climbed up the high side of the ship, and shouted urgently:
"In broad daylight! What do you want?!"
The crowd laughed, and a guard said with a chuckle:
"Why are you so angry, young lady? I just want you to come into the inner room and sing a few songs for my young master. Money is not a problem!"
The frail figure suppressed her tears and said angrily:
"I'm an innocent woman! I only sing outside! I never go into the inner room! Don't insult me!"
Seeing the little girl struggling desperately, the guards seemed to become more interested. One of the guards even stepped forward boldly and pretended to hug her.
"Don't touch me!" The frail figure shouted in fear. Although she was already scared and anxious, she raised the pipa in her hand without hesitation and swung it hard at the guard.
The guard never expected that a weak woman would fight back. He didn't react quickly enough and was hit on the head. He staggered and was stunned.
"Damn it, he's just selling his body. What's the difference between singing and selling your body? Arrest him!"
I don't know who said this, but all the guards immediately rushed forward and pounced on him like a pack of wolves.
The frail figure screamed and waved the pipa.
But even if the pipa hit the men's shoulders repeatedly and was smashed to pieces, it was just a tickle to the men who practiced martial arts and could not stop their footsteps from getting closer and closer.
Finally, the broken pipa was snatched away, and the men laughed even more unscrupulously.
The frail figure was so desperate and helpless that he turned around and jumped directly into the river.
There was a sudden cry of surprise on the deck. The guards looked at each other, but no one went down to rescue people.
One guard even leaned over the side of the boat, waving a broken pipa in his hand and laughing loudly:
"Miss Zhiluo—you left so quickly that you forgot to take your pipa—"
"Hahahahahahahaha——" everyone on the deck laughed again.
Looking into the water again, Zhi Luo struggled twice, then slowly sank to the bottom and was no longer moving.
Yun Chen and Huo Gannian exchanged a glance, "It's Miss Zhiluo! Will you save her?"
Under normal circumstances, Yun Chen would have kicked the man in the face the moment the first guard blew the whistle. How could he allow a group of grown men to bully a woman like this?
But now that he was in Zhao State, shouldering a confidential and important mission, Yun Chen did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing Yun Chen asking for his opinion on the surface, but in fact he had been rubbing his feet on the deck in small steps, as if he had been preparing for a long time, Huo Gannian couldn't help laughing.
Although he had a little doubt in his heart, how could he meet Zhiluo by chance again, he still said:
"If you don't want to reveal your identity, I have a very simple solution - do it!"
As soon as Huo Gannian finished speaking, Yun Chen shot out like an arrow, dived into the water, and swam towards Zhiluo at a rapid speed.
On the other side, Huo Gannian used his Qing Kung Fu to jump onto the passenger ship and immediately kicked down the two nearest guards.
Three or four people were kicked into the water, four or five people had their legs broken, and six or seven people had their arms broken and screamed in pain.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Huo Gannian had "taken care of" most of the guards on the passenger ship. A large number of them fell down, and some were struggling in the water and shouting for help.
If you knock everyone down, no one will have the energy to pursue the matter. This is what Huo Gannian said is the least likely way to reveal your identity.
By the time Huo Gannian knocked down dozens of guards, leaving only the dandy-looking young man in fancy clothes huddled in the armchair in fear and crying for help, Yun Chen had already climbed onto the boat carrying Zhiluo.
Huo Gannian was sweating from the fight, and when he turned around, he saw Yun Chen trying very hard to give Zhi Luo Du Qi mouth to mouth.
After biting his cheek, Huo Gannian raised his leg and kicked the young man in fancy clothes off the chair.
After taking seven or eight breaths, Zhiluo finally spat out a large mouthful of water and coughed for a long time before he calmed down.
As her consciousness gradually regained, Zhi Luo realized that she was leaning in Yun Chen's arms, and a pair of clean eyes full of concern, without a trace of frivolity, were looking at her intently.
