Chapter 270 Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land
270
Gu Yanxi heard that someone seemed to have planted germs on Duanqi's side. He was not sure whether the news was accurate, but in order to collect clues, he rushed to Duanqi as quickly as possible.
However, at sea, when they were about ten nautical miles away from the ship, a maritime ban was issued, prohibiting all ships from approaching the ship. The passenger ship had no choice but to leave. But Gu Yanxi couldn't leave. He had come here to gather information, but he had been in Japan for more than three months and had found no clues.
So, while no one was paying attention, he jumped into the sea and swam towards Tanqi. The usually bustling beach was deserted today, which made it convenient for him to act.
It was just that he had just fallen to the shore in a mess. He had no strength left after such a long distance, but he felt a very strong gaze staring at him.
Gu Yanxi looked in the direction of his sight and saw a little girl staring at him without blinking. As he looked closely, surprise flashed in Gu Yanxi's eyes. He seemed to have seen this little girl before.
But how could this be possible? How could she come to Japan alone? Could she be Japanese?
That shouldn't be the case. He remembered that the soldiers had mentioned a few things about this little girl's family. Moreover, he had not forgotten this little girl's skills.
While he was still thinking, Tang Yue was already walking towards him. Gu Yanxi's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't see the danger in the little girl's eyes. He lazily lay on the beach to recover his strength.
Tang Yue stepped forward and said, "We've met before."
Gu Yanxi just lay on his back and looked at the little person in front of him. After hearing her words, Gu Yanxi confirmed that he had not recognized the wrong person, but he really didn't have the strength to sit up in surprise. He just lay on his back and looked at the little girl.
She said in fluent Japanese, "Hello, little sister, what did you say? I don't understand. This doesn't seem to be our Japanese language."
Tang Yue smiled. This man still refused to admit it. "Train, toilet, radio station, arrested. I don't think your memory should be this bad."
Gu Yanxi was sure about this little girl. He could no longer ignore that she was indeed the one. He sat up with a jerk, "It's really you. How come you are in Japan?"
As if thinking of something, Gu Yanxi asked anxiously, "Were you abducted by the Japanese? Where are those people who abducted you? Where are they going to take you?"
Gu Yanxi felt as if he had found the thread that connected everything with just a slight tug. He should be able to grasp the clue soon. Tang Yue frowned as she listened to Gu Yanxi's incoherent words. "Shouldn't you first introduce yourself?"
Gu Yanxi......
He regained his composure in an instant and lay back on the beach. He didn't worry. If she had been captured, someone would come looking for her soon. If he followed them, he would be able to find a clue.
He casually pointed to the place next to him and said, "Sit there for a while. I'll go with you later. Don't be afraid."
Tang Yue couldn't help but twitching the corners of her mouth. This kid had a charmingly handsome face for nothing, but now he looked boneless and soaked all over. It was really an eyesore.
However, since the other person hadn't indicated his identity, Tang Yue didn't want to offend. She felt that this person was here on behalf of the Chinese state. She was pressed for time and didn't want to cause any trouble, so she decided to leave quickly.
"It's not safe these days. You'd better leave here."
As she spoke, Tang Yue had already taken out the small boat she was riding in and was about to get on. When Gu Yanxi stood up, he saw the little girl about to get on the boat. He didn't have time to rest and quickly stood up and reached out to grab the boat.
He didn't have time to think about where this small boat came from. "You want to go out to sea by boat?"
"Um!"
"On this boat?"
Tang Yue remained calm. "Well, this is the only boat I have." She thought to herself, no other boats can be used. If they are discovered, there will always be trouble.
Gu Yanxi didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. Could he say that this girl was ignorant and fearless? She wanted to use this ship to return to China. Isn't this just a foolish dream? It was simply...
Tang Yue saw that this person had not let go and frowned, "What's wrong? If you want to leave, I can take you a ride."
Gu Yanxi......
The composure on his face was about to break. He reached out and rubbed his forehead. "Little girl, do you know that this is the sea? The sea is dangerous. Your ship is only suitable for saving lives in times of crisis. It is not suitable for long-distance voyages."
Tang Yue seemed to understand what Gu Yanxi meant, "No..."
"Also, you see, there is no food or water on your ship. Even if you don't encounter any danger, you don't have anything to eat. It will take more than one or two days to return to China. This is definitely not an option.
Also, do you know which direction China is in? You can't go back to China like this. Don't worry, wait until I finish my work here and find a way to send you back. But you have to wait for me for a while.
Tang Yue understood. Just as she saw someone coming from a distance, Tang Yue immediately made them invisible. Then she pulled Gu Yanxi onto the boat and used her spiritual power to control the boat to slowly sail into the sea.
Gu Yanxi felt himself being lifted up, and then he was already standing on the boat. Gu Yanxi was a little dazed, staring at the little girl in front of him. How could this girl be caught with such ability?
Could it be that he guessed wrong?
Suddenly realizing that he was on a boat, Gu Yanxi frowned, "Little girl, I came here for something and can't leave now. Let's go back to the shore first."
Tang Yue raised her chin towards him, "Didn't you see those people searching the shore? Now no one is allowed to leave. If you go in, you won't be able to get out within the time limit."
Besides, I might never be able to return to China."
Gu Yanxi saw the Japanese who came to patrol. Gu Yanxi had already sat on the boat, but he was still nervous. He was not afraid himself, but he was afraid that the little girl was in danger.
However, he felt that those people's eyesight seemed to be not working well, and they seemed not to have seen them at all. Gu Yanxi looked around. They were the only small boat on the sea. At this distance, it was impossible for them not to see them.
So what is going on?
"You can't tell me, why?"
Due to her job, Gu Yanxi instinctively inquired about the news. Tang Yue was naturally not stingy and would still help her compatriots.
"I heard a ship approached the Nakajima Huti dock yesterday, and many Japanese government officials and members of prominent families went to pick it up. As a result, everyone on board died. Those close to the ship were vomiting from the fumes.
Those who smelled the odor began to experience symptoms one after another. The symptoms developed very quickly. Later, Duanqi issued a ban, forbidding anyone from approaching the port.
It should be to ensure the safety of the people here, so the recent martial law is needed."
"Is the information reliable?"
"Yes, absolutely!"
Gu Yanxi felt that this matter was not simple. He felt that he was about to find a breakthrough, so he hurriedly looked for the oars in the boat.
"What are you looking for?"
"Where are the oars?" Gu Yanxi looked up in shock. "You don't even have oars in your boat? Do you even know this is dangerous?"
Gu Yanxi's voice could not help but get louder. How could this child do such a thing? He simply had no idea what he was doing.
"You want to go back?"
Tang Yue frowned and thought, if this person had something very important to do, she couldn't stop him from doing his mission.
Seeing the little girl so calm, Gu Yanxi felt as if he was younger than her. "Yes, I have something important to check. So, can you come back with me?"
I promise to find a way to send you away after I finish my work here."
Tang Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't need you to send me off. I won't be returning to China for the time being. If you have anything to do, just swim back. It happens that we are not far from the shore now."
Gu Yanxi......
He didn't jump into the sea. "You're not going back to China? How did you get here?" Gu Yanxi didn't know if it was because he had just swam in the sea for too long, and his brain was a little lacking in oxygen.
