“Xiaoshu is very interested in him?” Gently rotating the acupuncture needle, Sang Nuan asked in a whisper; it was really like a random chat.
Su Su laughed twice and then replied, “He is interested in me now, of course, I am very interested in him too, and you, I’m curious about you. Are you like them, also a pirate?”
Sang Nuan held onto the acupuncture needle, poked it into another acupuncture point, and dismissively went back to the question, “What do you think?”
Sensing eyes staring at her, Sang Nuan scrutinized it for a good while and then she heard the youth earnestly replied, “The look doesn’t resemble one.”
As if it was too early to guess, Su Su plainly answered. Sang Nuan showed a faint smile that didn’t have the slightest difference from before. She wanted to answer but then heard the similarly earnest voice echo a sigh in her ear and say, “It is a pity that you are.”
Mother said, sometimes when questioning a person, they person does not necessarily need to answer. Her face, eyes, and even small movements will answer your questions. At that moment, Sang Nuan’s eyes showed interest and pleasure; she was so surprised that her fingertips pinching the needle slightly paused and did not proceed to give a reply.
Su Su pitifully shook her head; Sang Nuan was really a pirate. She wanted to deceived her by saying that she was not because of medical skill and wisdom, thus, was forced to stay on the island, but that excuse, woman forced by the pirates to stay on the island, will not work.
Su Su blatantly and impolitely pointed out her pirate status. Sang Nuan returned with a smile, the smiling face seemed more moderate than before, “Xiaoshu is not a fisherman.”
Su Su naturally nodded, “I truly am not. This is actually my first outing to sea to make money. I asked Sister Qin to take me. Who knew we would encounter pirates. I really do not know if this is really good luck or bad luck.”
Lucky? Sang Nuan said with a smile, “You really have no fear.”
“Fear? I was scared to death when that full bearded man’s knife chopped a person’s head off.” The person opposite her patted his chest with exaggeration and a frightened appearance.
Sang Nuan actually laughed and she didn’t see how he was afraid. “Over fear, you were strong and did not worry risking your life.”
“Sister Qin has shown kindness to me, how can I watch somebody in danger and do nothing!”**
**or other translation: “How can I see death and not save.”
Su Su was too late to take back the general idea of ordinary people and spoke thoughtlessly. She realized that when she said the phrase, ‘watched somebody in danger and do nothing’, the always-happy expression in Sang Nuan’s eyes changed into a different expression. If she read it right, it was not ironic?
Tsk…Tsk…Sang Nuan was either cold or warm; Su Su did not know exactly which, but this woman here was not necessarily warm. Su Su observed her with pleasure and sensed Sang Nuan’s slight nuances. She attempted to analyze and tried to gather useful things, but because Sang Nuan did not give her anymore chances, so she lost the opportunity. The silver acupuncture needles used for the treatment were all collected back and then Sang Nuan gently drove her away, “It’s getting late, I won’t keep you.”
Being quickly driven out, Su Su was somewhat disappointed but did not pursue Sang Nuan to speak again. Next time, when there is a chance, only…Su Su awkwardly looked at the siblings who remained unconscious on the bed.
Sang Nuan did not wait for her to speak, and her soft carefree voice sounded, “You don’t have to worry; the boy’s injury is not serious. Let him rest for ten days to live. As for this woman you have won, master rewards her to you. Within a month, if she’s lucky, there should not be any danger.”
In one month, she has to find the means to leave the island and must thoroughly investigate the secret of this pirate’s nest, and the time was somewhat tight. She must carefully think about how to make full use of this month.
Su Su then arranged her hat while laughing happily and sheepishly, “You told me to leave, it’s okay but is it possible to let me know where I am supposed to go now?”
“The men do not drink fast and scatter right away, but Mo Yuan does not stay in the cave too long. He should have returned to his room. His residence is on the east side of the beach. After you exit from here, walk towards the east side. Just follow the sea and the first clearing.”
Su Su had almost forgotten that she has been the ‘enjoying the status’ of the pirate’s reward for the honored guests. Su Su nodded and shoved open the unlatched wooden door. It was getting dark outside. She thought there would be pirates standing outside the door but found no one. Looking back she saw Sang Nuan packing up her needles. Out of habit to be respectful, she did the ceremonial greeting and said, “I go over?”
Sang Nuan looked up and smiled, “Do you want me to bring you over?”
“You are afraid I would run, ah?” Su Su was astonished and had mixed feelings of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Her present status was that of a captive, can she walk around everywhere? Really, what a confidence?
“You cannot escape.”
That sentence was mentioned by Sang Nuan the second time. Su Su humbly picked her eyebrow. She will surely leave but it will be unnecessary to escape.
“Then I am going, Ah Nuan. “She waved to her and pushed open the door to leave.
Sang Nuan watched the figure leave. Her smile slowly disappeared; this youth was very intelligent. At first glance, he seems uninformed about the world, ignorant and impulsive, and also did not know the difference between heaven and earth, but he has fine views, was careful with his words and deeds. It is not difficult to discover the reason why Mo Yuan selected this individual or the way the person challenged Wu Mu. He dealt with them relatively calmly; even if he lacked the knowledge, he was not afraid. What was he relying on really?
She looked down at a woman that was still in stupor; Sang Nuan’s eyes turned ice-cold, couldn’t she see somebody in danger and do nothing? Can’t help it? She must have a looked but finally… will she rescue or do notrescue.
After leaving the cabin, Su Su found the rain has stopped completely. Along the road, before the log cabin gate were no lanterns, but clusters of blowing torches. The sea breeze was very strong, blowing the torch flames, making them crackle loudly. Although the light was very bright, wherever there was light, there were natural shadows. Using her qing gong skill under the dim light of the night, she evaded the line of sight of several tower guards. It was not very difficult but she was in no hurry to search the grounds of the pirate’s nest tonight because she only wanted to be able to first meet the honored guest right now.
Going according to Sang Nuan’s direction, she found the east beach’s first log cabin quickly. From the outside, it was no different from the nearby log cabins. There was a light shining through the room; obviously there was someone inside. Su Su did not deliberately use her light footsteps and casually walked to make her presence was known. Standing at the gate, she discovered that the area was extremely peaceful, was there really someone inside? Su Su inclined her head and listened attentively…
“Come in.”
Su Su shivered for no reason; this was not the first time she heard the sound of his voice, but because it was too quiet, she heard the sound very clear. His timbre was very common, not particularly deep, no magnetism, and it cannot be regarded as pleasant to hear, but accompanied by his indifferent tone and gentle wave intonation, hearing this voice will make human not forget; it has this special memorable qualities.
She routinely pressed the hat brim and then Su Su gently shoved open the wooden door. What she saw made her hesitate at the door.
In the house was not only someone, but also more than one.
