Chapter 9: Friends
"Hai, Si." Banxia wrote Hayes's name on rice paper, "Look, that's your name. ”
"My name." Hayes leaned closer, looked down at the handwriting on the paper, and said, "Beautiful." He smiled stupidly.
His laughter is always contagious, in fact, Banxia knows that he doesn't understand the meaning of some words, but as soon as he says it, Banxia is extremely happy. "Come, Hayes, I'll teach you." Banxia put the brush in Hayes's hand and instructed him to hold the pen from the side, "This finger should be retracted...... Alright, Hayes you've learned to hold a pen now. ”
Hayes looked at Banxia and suddenly approached Banxia, his face was infinitely enlarged in front of Banxia's eyes, his eyes were clear, his lips were shining, and Banxia closed his eyes in a hurry.
In the next second, there was a friction of cloth on Banxia's forehead. Opening his eyes, he wiped the beads of sweat from Banxia's forehead with his sleeve. Thinking back to just now, for some reason, Banxia felt that his thoughts were a little dirty, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look into Hayes's eyes.
Pressing, grinding, and holding a pen, Hayes began to write on rice paper. Banxia took a deep breath and watched him put down his pen, and then there was a serpentine movement with a strange painting style. Banxia couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and said, "Hayes, I'll help you." ”
Banxia grabbed Hayes's hand from behind, they were so close that Banxia could hear his breathing and the sound of his heartbeat strongly, they were no different, Hayes's hand was cold, but Banxia felt unusually warm. "Write three points of water first...... "one, two, three strokes...... "so that it is a 'sea' character."
"Sea, sea, sea." Hayes happily swung his snake's tail, "Banxia, I'll write my name." ”
"Great, Hayes."
After practicing calligraphy, they went for a walk on the beach. As I walked, I saw two black figures in the distance, was there anyone else here? It won't be Brother Ye. Banxia looked at Hayes's side face, no, she didn't want to go back. Fear made it difficult for her feet to walk, and Hayes looked at her worriedly and asked, "Banxia, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Ahead." Banxia's lips and chin trembled slightly, and he could only say these two words in his mouth.
Hayes looked forward in the direction of Banxia's line of sight, and beckoned happily to the figure in front of him, "Alan! Allan! ”
Hayes was heard from afar and responded, "Hayes! ”
Banxia, who had been afraid, was suddenly relieved.
At this time, Ye Anshi was investigating the mysterious death of the concubine in the palace. Early this morning, people in the palace came to spread the word, and the emperor urgently summoned him.
The people above the main hall were sitting precariously, without the slightest sadness on their faces, and their sharp eyes fell on Ye Anshi, and they slowly spoke: "The concubine is a person sent by the Mao clan to make peace, and now the Mao clan is making trouble on the border. You must find out this matter and give an explanation to the Mao people, and you can't give them a chance. Do you understand! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ye Anshi retired and came to the concubine's room.
The maidservant who served the concubine said, "That night, the mother was no different from usual, and went to bed early. But in the middle of the night we heard the cry and hurried to the concubine's room, only to see the concubine's eyes wide open, her tongue sticking out, lying on the bed. It's horrible. The handmaid shuddered.
When I found the guards who were on duty that day, they all said, "I didn't see any suspicious people." But they all have vague memories of what happened that night.
After looking around the room, nothing was found. Ye Anshi felt more and more strange, before leaving, he looked at the bed, went to check it again, and found a feather mark under the bed, it seems that this concubine is not as simple as he imagined.
He drew the mark and handed it to Wen Yuan to investigate, and Wen Yuan not only found out that the mark was owned by the mysterious organization Mo Shangcheng, but also brought a letter from Mo Shangcheng.
After meeting, Banxia opened her mouth wide. One is a friend of Hayes's named Alan. A human woman like Banxia. Not only does Eren have a snake tail, but his eyes are the color of sea water, and he is beautiful like a blue elf. "Hello this beautiful girl, my name is Alan." Sound also has a penetrating power.
"My name is Banxia." Banxia looked at the human woman, who was about the same age as her, dressed simply, and had the feeling of a small jasper, but her face was full of sadness, and her eyes looked in the direction where Banxia was, but it seemed to look farther through Banxia.
"This is Lan Yan, my wife." When Alan said this, he looked at Lan Yan, and there was a hint of tenderness in the blue in his eyes, but Banxia obviously felt Lan Yan's body tremble a little, and it returned to normal.
Hayes looked at the two of them, turned to Banxia and said, "Banxia, you can be my wife." ”
Red flooded her ears as well as her face, and Banxia said in a panic, "Hayes, do you know what a wife is?" ”
Hayes turned his little head, "It's the people who accompany each other, just like Alan and Lanyan." ”
Banxia smiled bitterly: "Hayes, it's not that simple. You'll understand later. He looked at Banxia with a sad expression, and knew that Banxia remembered the past again, so he couldn't continue.
"Okay, since we've met today, let's have dinner together." Alan suggested.
"Okay." Both Banxia and Hayes were willing.
At the seashore, the waves stirred up by Hayes and they flooded the beach, and the waves receded, and a fish lay on the sand. "Hayes, you're so good!" Banxia made a trumpet shape with his hand on the side of his mouth and shouted loudly into the sea.
"Where's Alan?" Banxia searched the sea and did not find his direction. Banxia looked at Lan Yan, she looked at the sea quietly, and there seemed to be nothing in her eyes that she cared about. Banxia walked up to her and said to her with a smile, "They've already started catching fish, let's go pick up branches." ”
"Hmm." She just nodded.
Banxia began to walk forward, and was worried that Lan Yan would fall behind, so he slowed down and went along with her. Banxia saw that she had been sullen, so she wanted to chat with her, so she asked, "Lan Yan, how long have you been living here?" ”
She paused and said slowly, "It's been almost a year." ”
"Do you have any other relatives at home?" Speaking of this, Banxia thought of Brother Ye again, and his heart suddenly ached.
When Lan Yan heard this, her emotions collapsed suddenly, tears burst out of her eyes, and then she cried loudly, and the birds in the trees were frightened away. Banxia began to panic, moved in front of her, took out the handkerchief in his arms, and gently wiped the tears from her face, "What's the matter, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this question." ”
"No, it's me." She choked up, spitting out the words in fits and starts.
Banxia patted her on the back, tried to calm her down, and said, "Let's sit down." Banxia saw two tree stumps in front of her, so he took her to sit down, accompanied her, and waited for her to calm down.
As she calmed down, she slowly told her story. "I was born into an ordinary fisherman's family, my father fished for a living, and my mother did the housework at home. A tsunami prevented my father from coming back. The people in the village said that my father was dead, but I didn't believe it, so I decided to go to sea to find him.
When I left, my mother was home alone, and I didn't even have time to say goodbye to her. I drifted at sea for a long time, and not only did I not find my father, but I also encountered a tsunami. Then he was washed up in this sea and met Allen. ”
Banxia felt sorry for her experience, so he hugged her tightly. "It's all gone, it's gone. I'm sure you'll see your mother again. ”
"Hmm." After saying that, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Banxia, where are you?" It was Hayes's voice.
"They're coming for us, let's go back first. We'll figure it out later, shall we? Banxia looked at Lan Yan and asked her opinion.
"Okay, thank you, Banxia." She smiled for the first time at Banxia.
So Banxia and they walked back and saw Hayes and them, with a lot of fish beside them.
"Are you alright?" Alan saw Lan Yan's two red eyes, so he hurriedly came to Lan Yan's side and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just that when I picked up the branches just now, the dirt got into my eyes, thanks to Banxia to get it out." Lan Yan patiently explained, and Alan was relieved.
"Alright, let's stop standing, let's start cooking." Banxia and Hayes sat down, Hayes held a fish in each hand to grill, and Banxia only needed to watch him roast quietly, and by the way, you could enjoy his handsome face.
In a seaside town, a woman sits in a tea shed drinking tea. There were people gathered around the city walls, and she squeezed in, and there were portraits of Banxia on the walls. The people next to him were talking, "This Prime Minister Ye and General Dusk are both looking for this woman, saying that they have found a thousand taels of silver." ”
The woman smacked her lips, lowered her hat and walked out of the crowd, and said into the distance: "Banxia, don't die easily." You look so much like her, you deserve to live well. My good apprentice, since you are gone, do not come back. ”
At this moment, a dove hovered over her head, and she hid into the alley, and took down the letter, which read: Go quickly to the border, and meet the patriarch of the Mao tribe.
