Chapter 2479 My Wife is a Pirate 08
After washing up in the evening, Bu Changji changed into clean coarse clothes and let his wet hair fall over his shoulders.
It also looks white under the oil lamp, completely different from the dark and rough appearance commonly seen on the seaside.
The more Jinchen looked at it, the more he liked it. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Jiu Shi."
"Hmm?" Bu Changji was twisting his hair with a towel and looked up when he heard the voice.
"Do you want to use some ointment?" Jinchen asked.
Bu Changji was stunned, not understanding what he meant, "...What ointment?"
Jin Chen nodded at his face and continued, "You said you were from the capital. The seaside is windy and sunny, not as refined as your capital."
"Your skin is thin. I see it's a little red from the wind today. Use some moisturizing ointment to protect it to prevent it from getting chapped and broken. It would be uncomfortable."
Bu Changji was stunned. He was a pirate and was exposed to wind, sun and rain all year round. However, he was also thin-skinned and it was common for his skin to be rough and broken, but he had never thought of using any ointment.
Those are the things used by the spoiled young men and girls in the city.
He subconsciously touched his cheek and indeed felt a slight tingling sensation.
He looked away uncomfortably, his voice stammering, "Not so good... I heard that thing is very expensive."
Bu Changji heard that many skin moisturizing ointments contain pearl powder or other rare medicinal herbs, and are very expensive.
Jinchen smiled nonchalantly and looked at him, "Just use it with confidence. I'll be going to town to sell seafood in a few days when I have time. I'll bring you two boxes of good ones."
Bu Changji's words of rejection rolled around on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
He lowered his eyelashes and stared at his toes, but his heart felt like it was burning, "...Oh."
This man's family doesn't seem to be wealthy, and the money he earns from fishing is probably just enough to make ends meet, but he is willing to buy him such impractical items.
It's really strange what's going on with this person.
He silently took note of the kindness and thought to himself that once the treasure house was cleared up, he would definitely find a way to get some money.
We can't really let this honest fisherman spend so much money on him.
Jinchen had no idea what Bu Changji was thinking. After making up his mind, he lay down to sleep and started thinking about ways to make a lot of money.
How about letting Zero roll around on the seabed a few more times...
-
Two days later, the weather was fine, the sky was blue and clear, and it contrasted with the blue sea.
Jinchen was counting the seafood he was going to sell in town in the open space in front of the house.
In addition to the usual dried fish and shrimps, there are also rare things he caught in the sea these days.
These seafood can be sold at a good price in the town, and ordinary fishermen may not be able to collect such a basket in a year or two.
Bu Changji moved a small wooden stool and sat in the shade under the eaves, watching Jinchen busy himself quietly.
At this moment, an extremely faint whistle sound floated over with the sea breeze.
The sound is extremely short and of a special frequency, mixed in with the waves and the calls of seabirds, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Bu Changji's ears moved, and he recognized that this was the specific whistle they used for internal communication. He was wondering why it sounded here.
But Jinchen, who was originally sorting seafood with his head down, suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked in the direction where the whistle came from.
At the west end of Aoli is a sparsely populated rocky beach.
Jinchen frowned, his eyes filled with confusion, and whispered to himself, "...What's that sound?"
It sounds like a bird's cry, but not quite.
Seeing Jinchen's reaction, Bu Changji was shocked.
This whistle is difficult to distinguish. People who hear it for the first time may not be able to hear it. Even if they hear it, they will just think it is a bird or an insect. Jinchen's reaction is too sharp...
Bu Changji didn't dare show any expression on his face.
When the whistle sounded, it must mean that there was an emergency at the Stone Building that needed to be reported in person, otherwise his subordinates would never risk contacting him in this way.
He had to find a way to get there.
Bu Changji lowered his eyelashes and gently took Jinchen's hand, "Brother Jin..."
Jinchen stopped moving and looked down at him distractedly, "What's wrong?"
Bu Changji raised his head and said softly, "Brother Jin, I seem to have eaten a little too much tonight, and my stomach is a little bloated... Can you accompany me to the beach for a walk to help digest the food?"
He frowned slightly and gently pressed his lower abdomen with one hand, looking uncomfortable and obedient.
Jinchen looked at him like this, and thought of the strange whistle just now, and his eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.
But he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he rubbed Bu Changji's slightly cool back of the hand with his fingertips, speaking in a gentle tone.
"Okay, I'm done with my work, so I'll walk with you."
After packing up, the two of them walked side by side towards the beach behind the house.
Bu Changji led the way intentionally or unintentionally, choosing secluded places with few people, and the direction was exactly the reef area to the west.
Not far behind them, a thin figure followed carefully under the cover of night and reefs, thinking that he was hiding perfectly and was sure that the fisherman would not notice him.
Jinchen, who was walking in front: "..."
He was speechless.
The tracking technology was so lame, the footsteps were incredibly heavy.
It was almost sticking to his back.
Are the skills of pirates so uneven these days?
Bu Changji naturally heard the noise behind him. The veins on his forehead twitched slightly, and he cursed Hai Shisan in his heart.
Is this guy afraid that others won’t find out?
He racked his brains, trying to find an excuse to lure Jinchen away.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
“Help! Ah!!”
A shrill and terrified scream suddenly rang out from the shallows not far away.
The two men looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the fisherman who had just rowed his small boat to the shore suddenly fell into the water for some unknown reason, as if he was dragged down by something.
People living by the sea are all good at swimming. Even a ten-year-old child can swim a lap in the sea. But that man was struggling wildly in the water, splashing water everywhere. He only had time to make a short cry for help before he was dragged down and was about to drown.
"not good."
Jin Chen's expression changed, and without time to think, he quickly said to Bu Changji, "Stay here and don't move."
He did not forget to look back and slashed at Hai Shisan who was following him with his palm knife.
"what!"
Hai Shisan screamed miserably and fell backwards.
Bu Changji: "..."
Bu Changji didn't dare to say a word. He watched Jinchen jump into the sea to save people, then dragged Hai Shisan's arm and moved behind the big reef.
