The heavy rain continued for several hours, making people panic.
Rolling thunder, deafening, pitch black sky, electric snakes roaming all over the sky, the terrifying power of nature is vividly displayed at this moment.
The large ship traveling in the heavy rain rose and fell with the rough waves. Although the swaying was not large, everyone on the ship, except Pei Liang, suffered from seasickness to varying degrees.
Shu Xiaowan had the biggest reaction. He lay down at the table, holding his chest and retching, his expression extremely uncomfortable.
Lu Qingyan also suppressed the turmoil in her stomach and kept hammering her back, hoping that she would feel better after vomiting it out.
Xiaowan opened his mouth wide and almost vomited out the bile, but the symptoms still did not ease.
Looking at the sallow-faced maid, who was so weak that she collapsed, Lu Qingyan was so anxious that she broke into a sweat.
"I'm going to find Pei Liang."
Lu Qingyan finally ignored Xiao Wan's efforts to stop her, walked out of the room, went to Pei Liang's room and knocked on the door.
But after knocking several times, no one answered.
Lu Qingyan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then came to Yaoniang's room again.
It was pitch dark inside, and just as Lu Qingyan was about to knock on the door, she somehow managed to listen to the sound.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lu Qingyan scolded herself inwardly, and her cheeks couldn't help but get hot.
Thinking of Xiao Wan's uncomfortable look, Lu Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. Knowing that her behavior was rude, she still knocked on the door.
"Miss Yaoniang!"
"Miss Yaoniang!"
Lu Qingyan shouted several times, but strangely there was no answer in her room.
It’s raining heavily, where else can the two of them go on the boat? Could it be that he was deliberately ignoring himself?
As soon as Lu Qingyan came up with this idea, she rejected it.
Neither Pei Liang nor Yaoniang are such people!
At the moment, she could only muster up the courage and walk down the stairs to the dark downstairs.
Lu Qingyan had never been so scared in her life, and the constantly rocking ship forced her to cling to the handrail. The wooden stairs creaked with every step she took.
It was windy and rainy outside the window, and the scary thing was that the wind lanterns in the square corners of the first floor had disappeared, making the dark atmosphere even more terrifying.
Lu Qingyan shouted with a trembling voice: "Brother Pei"
Finally, I walked to the bow of the ship in the dark. Looking through the light of lightning, I saw that there was no one on the deck.
In desperation, Lu Qingyan turned back to the stern of the boat.
"Brother Pei"
This time Lu Qingyan tried her best to shout, but her voice was quickly drowned in the thunder and rain.
"Where is it?"
Lu Qingyan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Suddenly she thought of a place and couldn't help but shudder all over, that was the cabin where Yuan Qianqiu's body was parked.
Although he and Master Yuan knew each other as if they were family members, after all, he was just a corpse now.
But Xiao Wan's condition did not allow Lu Qingyan to retreat. She gritted her teeth and rushed straight into the rain. She quickly found the wooden ladder leading to the cabin, got down and pushed open the wooden board.
"ah"
Two women's screams sounded at the same time
….
"Good sister, you scare me to death"
"I was also very scared"
The two women sat opposite each other in the cabin. Under the dim light, they both looked frightened.
Yaoniang's sleeves were flattened, her skirt was lifted up, she was barefoot and bare-legged, and she was sweating profusely from exhaustion.
After her busy work for a long time, the water in the cabin finally went down, and now it was only up to her ankles.
Lu Qingyan understood immediately after seeing it, and said a little bit angrily: "Why don't you ask me and Xiao Wan to come down and help?"
Yaoniang wiped the sweat from her forehead, waved her hand and said, "Pei Liang said that you two must be suffering from seasickness at this time. Let me work for a while, and he will come up as soon as he catches the fish."
"Catching fish?" Lu Qingyan asked confused.
"Well, he said that there is a kind of fish gall in the sea. People who eat it will not get seasick."
"Pei Liang...jumped...into the sea to catch fish? There was such a big storm..."
"Don't worry, he is too capable to die."
"But……."
"Didn't you hear him bragging about his golden body and being invulnerable?"
“I really can’t be a monster anymore.”
"Honestly, I don't believe it either... Do we want to verify it?"
Yaoniang suddenly smiled strangely and blinked.
Lu Qingyan shook her head in fear.
"How can you verify it if you don't ask?" Yaoniang asked.
"You...you want to stab him with a knife?" Lu Qingyan had a look of panic in her eyes.
"Yes, how about proving that he is invulnerable?"
Yaoniang had a wicked smile on her face.
"Miss Yaoniang, you..." Lu Qingyan frowned.
"Sister, tell the truth, do you like him?"
Yaoniang looked at the woman who had remained silent and added: "If you don't speak, you are acquiescing!"
"I'm going back"
Lu Qingyan stood up and left. Yaoniang chased after her and said with a smile, "I'm just joking with you."
Suddenly he saw the woman and stopped.
The wet Pei Liang walked down with his upper body naked, and happened to meet face to face.
Pei Liang, who was a little embarrassed, touched his nose and then handed over his left hand. There were two black sticky objects in the palm of his hand:
"This is the bile of the deep-sea unicorn fish. Although it is fishy, you will not get seasick if you swallow it. It is very effective."
Lu Qingyan, whose face was burning, quickly reached out to take it and handed it a blessing: "Thank you, Brother Pei. I will give it to Xiao Wan right now."
Pei Liang nodded and quickly said, "You can mix it with water and swallow it. It will make you feel better."
Wait for Lu Qingyan to leave in a hurry.
Yaoniang glanced sideways at the man and cursed in a low voice: "You stink and have no shame."
"Where are my clothes?"
Pei Liang just pretended not to hear.
"threw"
Yaoniang shook her hand angrily.
"Then I'll wear yours?" The man smiled.
"Okay, if you dare to wear it, I'll take it off." The woman said with a soft smile.
Pei Liang never had a temper when meeting Yaoniang's opponent.
At this moment Yaoniang suddenly threw her clothes to him.
After Pei Liang finished dressing, Yaoniang approached and reached out to ask for it.
"What"
"Fish Guts"
"You don't need to eat if you don't respond."
"Fart, who said I didn't react? My reaction was bigger than giving birth to a child."
"This fish... is relatively rare. It took me a long time to catch two of them."
"Okay, okay, surnamed Pei, let me do all the dirty work. I'm afraid I'm going to tire your beautiful girl and now I don't even have anything to share. You can do it..."
"Don't worry about it, it's hard for them to survive!"
As soon as Pei Liang sighed, Yaoniang's face turned cold and she stared at him.
Pei Liang, who knew she had said something wrong, was about to make amends when Yao Niang sneered: "I care? I care about being here scooping water with a corpse in the middle of the night. Do you know how scared I am and how uncomfortable I am?"
Pei Liang nodded apologetically, took off his clothes, and walked out of the cabin.
Yaoniang suddenly rushed forward and hugged the man from behind.
"I...I lied to you, I don't feel bad."
Yaoniang pressed her face tightly against the man's back and swayed her body in a coquettish and clingy manner.
Who could resist such a charming person? Pei Liang turned around and hugged her tightly in his arms.
If Lu Qingyan were present at this time, Yaoniang would definitely wink at her proudly.
———
After swallowing the fish gall, Xiao Wan endured the bitter smell in his stomach. He drank two bowls of water and chewed a few sticks of dried meat before he felt better.
Lu Qingyan herself did the same, but her endurance was obviously stronger than Xiao Wan's, and she felt much better after just drinking some water.
When Xiao Wan came back from going to the toilet, his face was obviously normal.
"This thing really works!" Xiao Wan, who no longer had to suffer, patted Lu Qingyan on the shoulder with a relaxed and happy face.
"I jumped into the sea to find it for you. Don't speak in such a harsh tone in the future."
Lu Qingyan advised softly.
"Well, my little Wan is not an ungrateful person. I will remember his kindness."
Xiao Wan nodded just now, then sat down again and asked, "Miss, you and Liu are already at odds with each other. What are your plans for the future? Should you wait for the government to judge you, or wait for him to issue a letter of divorce?"
"Waiting for him to write a divorce letter? He's waiting for my divorce letter and that's not enough!"
"Miss, you...I have never heard a wife hand her husband a divorce letter."
"Well now you've heard"
"I still think you shouldn't irritate him too much. If you're so anxious, you'll jump over the wall. What if you do something..."
"From the moment I stepped onto this ship, there was no room for maneuver between us."
"Well, let's see how the master handles it... What are your plans in the future?"
“I didn’t think about it”
"Miss, you have to listen to my advice. Pei Liang and we are not from the same place, and we are destined not to be together. When we get to Yujing, we must go our separate ways as soon as possible. We can't get entangled with him anymore."
"Why not a fellow traveler?"
"Why are you still so stubborn? Let's not talk about his character. Just talk about his status. He is a prodigal son. He lives a world-wide life and lives a life of licking blood. You are the daughter of the Prime Minister's family and you are married to a Duke. King, I live a peaceful life of caring for my husband and raising my children, reciting poems and painting, but I don’t have the right family and the wrong household, so why do I have to force myself? What good results can there be?”
"Do you think he has feelings for me?"
"My lady!"
Xiao Wan slapped his forehead suddenly and shook his head in pain and helplessness.
"As a bystander, speak truthfully." Lu Qingyan looked calmly and looked at her confidant maid with soft eyes.
Infected by Lu Qingyan's gaze, Xiao Wan finally sighed and said calmly: "I, Xiao Wan, swear to God that what I say next will be truthful and will not be mixed with any personal feelings."
Lu Qingyan nodded gently.
Xiao Wansui said seriously: "In my opinion, he has no feelings for you, let alone being tempted. You and I are both women. We should understand that if you really like someone, the love in your eyes cannot be hidden. He has always been interested in you." You are very polite and have always kept a distance. It is not so much because of your status as a married woman before, but now, has your attitude changed in any way? "
After hearing this, Lu Qingyan's expression showed no sadness or joy, but she still nodded.
"This kind of libertine is the best at coaxing women. Look at the beautiful lady next to him who follows him so wholeheartedly. It shows that this person named Pei is very scheming. He is not as simple as he seems on the outside. You must be careful. It’s…”
Seeing Lu Qingyan's eyes were distracted and her face was dull, Xiao Wan couldn't help but slap her:
"I'm talking to you, did you listen?"
Lu Qingyan nodded obediently.
"Miss, I'm not telling you that with your appearance and status, you can't find any man in the world. Why do you fall in love with Pei Liang? How can he be worthy of you?"
"Besides, he already has Yaoniang by his side. That woman is not simple. She has means and understands men. No one can take the man away from her. Why bother?"
Lu Qingyan lowered her head and smiled when she heard this, her crystal tears soaking her cuffs unknowingly.
