Chapter 321 My brother who will drop my little pearl loves me too much. What should I do? (6)
Bai Tiantian glanced at Bai Yao again. She thought that Bai Yao was so popular that she might know more news than she did. So she smiled and said, "I heard that it was too chaotic outside and I was worried that something might happen, so I came to see my sister."
In fact, she was afraid that she would be caught after sneaking out, so she carefully avoided people all the way and sneaked into Bai Yao's room unknowingly.
Bai Tiantian glanced at Bai Yao's room. The tea utensils, pearl curtains and bed curtains were all the best. It was said that before Bai Yao moved in, Bai Yi personally decorated the room. Bai Yao really deserved to be the heroine of Mary Sue. At home, she was spoiled by her parents, and when she went out, she was spoiled by her brother and the hero.
Bai Yao said: "Since you know that there is chaos outside, and now another person has run out, isn't it even more worrying?"
Bai Tiantian laughed dryly twice. She has been fighting with Bai Yao for a lifetime, but she doesn't believe that Bai Yao is really as quiet and reserved as outsiders say.
Bai Tiantian asked straight to the point: "I wonder if sister has heard that the third young master of the Duke's Mansion has also boarded the ship?" Bai
Yao looked at her suspiciously and did not answer.
Bai Tiantian explained, "When I went out before, the carriage I was riding broke down, and it was the third young master who borrowed the carriage to let me go home, but the third young master left something at that time, and I want to return it to him."
Logically, the third young master was also invited to board the ship this time, but Bai Tiantian did not see him.
Bai Yao replied briefly: "I don't pay attention to these things."
Bai Tiantian was a little disappointed, but she would not give up. Since she was reborn, she must make up for the people she owed in the past.
But she didn't know if it was because of her rebirth that brought about the butterfly effect, the development of this life was very different from the previous life.
Bai Tiantian didn't want to stay with Bai Yao any longer. She turned around and planned to leave. Something fell off her body and landed on the floor, making a harsh sound.
It was a small conch made of stone.
Bai Yao felt that it looked familiar. The mysterious stone beauty seemed to be wearing a small conch as an ornament on her waist. She asked: "Where did you get this?"
Bai Tiantian picked up something and said vaguely: "I picked it up on the road."
In fact, she had sneaked into the room where the stone statue was placed to avoid other people. Because of her recklessness, she accidentally bumped into the stone statue. The stone statue was too fragile and a piece of ornament fell off at once. When someone
outside made a move, she could only quickly pick up the things and run away.
Speaking of which, I don't know if it's because of the butterfly effect. Bai Tiantian has never been on a ship in her previous life, and she has never heard of the stone beauty.
Bai Yao stood up with a frown on her face, "You have to return the things."
Bai Tiantian replied, "Of course I will return the things."
She muttered to herself, she was not the kind of person who would steal things and not return them. A noble lady like Bai Yao, who grew up in luxury, really regarded her as an ignorant country girl.
The boat was shaking more violently, the night wind suddenly blew open the window, the cold rain poured in, and the candles in the room were extinguished instantly.
At the same time, the door of the room was inexplicably opened.
A long shadow extended from outside. From the shadow, it was a tall and thin figure wearing a long robe and a hood.
The figure's sleeves fluttered, and he was still slowly approaching the room.
Bai Tiantian couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She took two steps back and whispered, "Is there a ghost?"
Slowly, she could see a corner of a black hem.
What was surprising was that the hem was clearly made of stone.
When the figure outside appeared completely at the door, Bai Tiantian screamed in fright.
It was the stone statue of the beauty! It
was clearly a stone statue, but now it seemed to be alive. The beauty who was originally crying opened her eyes. Without the tears, her expression was no longer sad, but cold and chilly, which originally belonged to the stone statue.
Bai Tiantian was only a blink of an eye away. A gust of cold wind suddenly blew in front of her, and the stone statue had appeared in front of her.
Bai Tiantian suddenly lost her strength and stood there in a daze, unable to move.
Her face became paler and paler, and she felt an indescribable panic. Her immobile body made her feel that her life was slipping away, but she couldn't resist.
Her hands also relaxed powerlessly, and the conch fell to the ground.
This clear awareness of slowly dying was even more terrifying.
Just when Bai Tiantian felt that her life was over, a hand pulled her to move.
Bai Yao had just dragged Bai Tiantian, who was standing there stupidly for no reason, to the door when a gust of salty sea breeze blew them both to the ground. She hurriedly tried to get up from the ground, and the moment she opened her eyes, she happened to meet the empty eyes of the stone statue of the beauty.
At this moment, Bai Yao touched the round stool next to her, picked it up and smashed it towards the stone statue.
Perhaps because it did not expect that after meeting her gaze, the beautiful stone statue could still move, and it did not react for a moment.
Bai Yao did not care about her image. She did not know who was playing tricks on her, making herself up like this and being able to move so flexibly. She got up from the ground and ran out the door quickly.
Perhaps she angered it. Instead of chasing Bai Tiantian, it moved quickly towards her. With every step forward, the floor sank and left traces of cracks.
Bai Yao ran to the corner of the aisle, and suddenly a hand hugged her in his arms. She buried her face in the chest with a familiar smell, and felt at ease.
The gentle and graceful young man stretched out his other hand and accurately grasped the neck of the stone statue.
The stone statue could not move forward. It twisted its neck with a "crackling" sound, unable to break free. Cracks began to spread from under the young man's fingers.
Looking up along the hand, it was Bai Yi with an expressionless face. The skin on his neck faintly showed a silver glow, outlining a scaly appearance.
This stone statue, which would make any man fascinated by its beauty, was a stone that had not decayed after being impacted by undercurrents in the water for many years. In front of him, it was just a pile of ordinary waste. With
a few "crackling" sounds, the stone statue with a beautiful bone structure shattered and fell to the ground, turning into a pile of waste.
Bai Yi asked in a low voice: "Are you hurt?"
She shook her head, then looked up and said: "Brother, something is wrong here."
The boat suddenly shook violently.
Bai Yi hugged Bai Yao tightly, protecting her head and preventing her from hitting the wall.
The rubble slowly moved, gathering together and tending to recover. At the same time, the floor collapsed and the rubble fell.
People outside shouted: "The ship is going to sink!"
Not long after, someone else shouted: "There is a pier ahead! Come to the shore!"
There was a thick fog all around, and only the shore could be vaguely seen ahead. There was a white lantern hanging on the pier, as if it was guiding the lost ship and inviting travelers to come ashore and rest.
There was a noise from behind. It was Bai Tiantian who was walking out holding the wall. She had just fallen and hurt her waist. Now every step she took was painful. Because the boat was shaking, she was standing even more unsteadily. She looked forward and just wanted to ask Bai Yi what was going on, but she saw Bai Yao standing on tiptoe and hugging Bai Yi's neck.
Bai Yao buried her face in her brother's neck, as if sobbing softly, "Brother, I'm so scared!"
Bai Yi gently stroked her back and said softly: "Yaoyao, I'm here."
Bai Tiantian frowned in disdain. What she hated most was Bai Yao, a woman who only thought of asking men for help when she had a problem. These ancient women really had no independent spirit at all.
Bai Yao watched the silver light on his neck disappear and breathed a sigh of relief. She put down her hand to keep a normal distance between her and him, but the hand pressing on her back was still exerting force.
Bai Yi patiently comforted her, "If you are scared, just hold him for a while longer. We are siblings, and no one will gossip about us."
