Chapter 38 Daily Life 2
Calculated according to the month, it is just the beginning of spring at this time.On Klaigana Island, because of the thick clouds and black fog all year round, the transitional stages of the four seasons are very blurred.Therefore, the cold snap of early spring has not yet reached the castle located in the center of the island.The whole island is still in a still and slightly subdued cool temperature.
So as soon as he went out to sea, the obvious temperature difference made Xiaoxiao shiver uncontrollably.
Hawkeye raised his eyes and straightened his folded long legs, "Smail, come here."
Xiaoxiao smoothed the goosebumps on his arms, ran up to him, and was pulled into his arms.
"What are you doing standing so far away?"
Xiaoxiao put her eyes in his arms with reddish eyes, "My head is heavy, I want to blow some wind."
At this time, the sea area is very windy and rough, and the boat is not very stable. Xiaoxiao’s heel always hits the calf bone of Hawkeye (Smile: I’m so short), she sits leaning on one of Hawkeye’s legs, Putting her feet on the other leg, she knocked on that leg one after another. Hawkeye had no objection, and she herself was embarrassed.
It was only now that she remembered that she was not too embarrassed to sit on someone's lap, but now that she got up again, it seemed too deliberate, not only would she be embarrassed, but also embarrassing.
So she bravely flicked her feet, and the shoe on her left foot came off smoothly, and then she flicked her right foot.Unable to shake it off, she threw it hard, and accidentally threw it to the edge of the boat. She tried to pick it up, but was held down by Hawkeye.
When she hooked her long legs, she hooked her shoes back.So she retracted her legs with peace of mind, and stepped on Hawkeye's thigh.
Hawkeye paused for a moment, then pulled her into his arms again, covering most of her with a long black coat.Shrouded by Hawkeye's smell and temperature, Xiaoxiao froze for a moment, then carefully moved his buttocks to adjust his position, seeing that Hawkeye didn't respond, he nestled comfortably, subconsciously letting out a sigh of relief.
Hawkeye lowered his head, put his chin on top of her head, took a deep breath, and took another deep breath, holding a small, soft, warm smile in his arms, suppressing the evil fire in his body.
I knew I was still in the castle.
Xiaoxiao leaned her head on Hawkeye's chest, and when she heard his heartbeat getting heavier, she couldn't help raising her head, "Mihoksan, are you uncomfortable?" Or is she too heavy?
Hawkeye looked down at her upturned little face, shook his head, "No." It was just painful and happy.
"Don't drink any more."
Xiaoxiao obediently nodded Shang's aching head.
"You can still drink a little if it's appropriate."
Xiaoxiao glanced at Hawkeye, and nodded hesitantly.
Her intuition told her that all she had to do now was nod her head.
Although Hawkeye's facial expression didn't change, she just felt that he was conflicted inside.
Hawkeye reached out to hold one of her feet, frowning, "Why is it so cold?"
Smile and say nothing.
She felt it would be wrong to tell Hawkeye now that his hands were too hot.
It was going to be dark, and Hawkeye landed with a smile.
There is a very bustling town on the island. People come and go and it looks very lively. According to Hawkeye, it seems that the surviving citizens of Clay Igana Island have been transferred here since the war entered an unstoppable stage. on the island.
"Transferred by whom?"
Hawkeye took her into a clean restaurant facing the street, "a former member of the royal family."
Smiling and sighing with emotion.
To be honest, if Hawkeye hadn't said it, she would never have imagined that the residents here are people who have experienced the pain of subjugation.They all seem very at ease, and their sense of dependence on the living environment and life satisfaction cannot be faked, let alone so many people.
"This island originally belonged to the former kingdom." Hawkeye seemed to be able to see what she was thinking, and explained.
He handed over the menu, and suddenly a firework exploded outside the window, and then the whole town suddenly became lively, and the night was beautifully decorated with colorful fireworks, and the corner of his mouth could not help but smile, "What is this?" ? Holiday?"
"It's a day for ghosts to go shopping."
Xiaoxiao turned around and saw a tall, chestnut-haired beauty standing by the dining table.
"Hello, I'm the owner, Arale."
The beauty is wearing a long dress of cherry blossom pink, her facial features are small and exquisite, her smile is as gentle as her tone, her gestures can hardly conceal her luxury, and she is obviously very well-bred.With a gentle and noble temperament, a beautiful face, and a slender and graceful figure, her age was blurred.
"Hi, I'm smiling."
Xiaoxiao politely held her hand, and quickly let it go.
Xiaoxiao had a strange feeling in his heart.
This woman is well maintained, Xiaoxiao guesses her age is between 25 and [-], her hands are obviously very pampered, very soft and delicate.Compared with hers, Xiaoxiao's hands are much clearer and stronger, and there are still a few thin calluses on the palms from long-term training and fighting.
In fact, compared to Huoshaoshan, a veteran of the headquarters, her hands are as immature as a three-year-old child.Sure enough, there are people out there.
"Julok Kirsan, long time no see."
Arale turned to Hawkeye again.
To be honest, her tone and expression didn't change at all, Xiaoxiao still couldn't help raising her brows slightly, with a feeling of "it really is".
Hawkeye just nodded, "Looks like you're doing well."
Xiaoxiao caught a kind of respect in his tone, like... a tone similar to that of her Kuraud's royal sister, Crown Prince Rovia.
"Miss Arale is...a princess?"
She remembered what Hawkeye had just said about the "royals," and a guess blurted out.
"Ah, how did you know. But, not anymore."
"After some of the citizens were transferred here a few years ago, she also 'disappeared'. The situation in Kleigana was beyond recovery, and Arale's status as the heir has no meaning of succession."
"So, you've settled down here." Xiaoxiao picked up Hawkeye's words and looked at Alale with a smile.
"You are a responsible leader and a qualified crown prince."
Alale smiled, with a hint of gloom buried between her brows, "No, how can Miss Xiaoxiao say it so well. I am a useless crown prince."
Smiling, he turned his head to look at the brightly lit street. "I heard that your power was greatly restricted during the war. It must have been quite difficult to escort the citizens to flee. And I see that the people are living very peacefully. It seems that there is no sequelae caused by the war, and the town is developing very well. This It is inseparable from your existence. You really don't have to be too modest."
"Thank you for your compliment." The smile on Alale's face became brighter, but the worry still lingered in her eyes.
The land area of this sea area is very small, and the town can be so prosperous and rich that it can be seen that Princess Alale is indeed very talented.But because of this, the surrounding area of this small island is not close to any orthodox country at all.This small island has been independent for six years. Without a country as a basis, there is nothing of great significance, such as traffic arteries, large resource islands, industrial areas, or unique characteristics. The days will only pass. more difficult.
Moreover, Princess Arale seems to be very assertive. She will try her best to get as much benefit as possible for the island, and the request for attachment is probably not low, which makes it more difficult for the island to find a "next home".
Of course, these are not what she should worry about or what she can help. The important thing is that she is really hungry. How long will this Princess Alalei stand here?
Moreover, this Princess Arale is the heir to the king, that is, the former owner of the castle.How could she communicate with Hawkeye, the current owner?That's a king's castle, not a villa that can be sold at will!Even if there is an intersection, it should be more embarrassing or hostile!Pirates occupying the kingdom's castle!Even if you can't fight, you shouldn't be so friendly!What is the way to open up by actively saying hello and talking and laughing happily?Or is Miss Heir too generous?
"Speaking of which, it's rare for Julo Kirsan to eat with other people."
Xiaoxiao raised her head to look at her, raised her eyebrows together, and her eyes widened slightly, looking surprised and puzzled, as if she didn't understand what the other party said.
Arale's heart paused, and feelings of displeasure and uneasiness arose at the same time.She admitted with a smile that her action was indeed malicious.
No matter how polite and polite Arale asked about the relationship between Hawkeye and her, as a woman, she could still clearly feel the intention of probing and looking at her, and this attitude was definitely not friendly.
Hawkeye didn't notice these small movements, but he pushed the menu into Xiaoxiao's hand again, and said calmly: "Well, I don't like eating with others." After a pause, he opened his fist, revealing his silver ring, "except for my fiancée."
Legend has it that the spirits living in the forest all year round, under the cliffs, and in the deep sea hold a gathering every year.
They change clothes together, wear human clothes, transform into human appearance, hide the tentacles, tails and fur, sneak into human towns when the night lights are first on, and go shopping in night markets like ordinary people Most of the human coins that come out are food or daily necessities for human beings.Of course, some spirits exchange wild things that can be found in the mountains or on shallow water beaches, such as mushrooms, fungus and wild vegetables, and small ornaments made of shells and pearls, in exchange for real human currency, either for shopping or for collect.
But spirits are not involved in worldly affairs, and there will always be places where they will reveal their secrets.A small monster with a low cultivation base will "swipe" two fluffy ears and tails if you are not careful.Some couldn't help drooling because the human food was so delicious, showing sharp teeth.What's more, when the sun rises the next morning, people who do business with spirits find that the coins they received last night have turned into rare herbs, or rare large and sweet fruits. A huge Neptunian tooth was found in the cash box!
In short, the spirits are very honest and never do harm to others. Instead, people get more or less benefits from the spirits.But when people went up the mountain and went to the sea to search, they didn't find any traces of the spirits, and after searching, the town never waited for the spirits to visit again.
So other places that were not disgusted by the ghosts began to deliberately hold grand gatherings at night when the ghosts appeared, and everyone dressed up in strange shapes, so that no one could tell who was human and who was a ghost.
Gradually, this legendary gathering evolved into a festival.
Xiaoxiao walked beside Hawkeye with apple candy, thinking that this is not a disguise for Easter.Hawkeye frowned slightly and asked her, "Why don't you want to eat all of a sudden?"
Smiling, he took a bite of the candy, "Suddenly I don't have any appetite for those things, is Mihoksan hungry?"
Just as Hawkeye was about to say "I'm not hungry", he held up the candy to his mouth with a smile, "Do you want to have a bite?"
Well, Xiaoxiao admitted that she was a little angry, she knew that Hawkeye didn't like this kind of overly colored sweets, so she asked him on purpose.
Although she believed that he did not have any unreasonable concerns about any woman other than her, including Princess Arale, and was very happy that he could simply disclose the relationship, but...but she was just a little unhappy.So I willfully want him to be a little unhappy.Even if it's just frowning, revealing a helpless and disgusted look.
Hawkeye really frowned, then, he took the hand that Xiaoxiao handed over, lowered his head, and took a bite where she gnawed.
There was a hot and rough callus on the back of the hand, the brim of the black hat brushed against the wrist, the fingertips brushed against the hot and humid air, and the bamboo stick held in the palm moved slightly.
Xiaoxiao was a little dazed for a moment.
…she swears she really just said it!
"The taste is okay, but it's still too sweet. Don't eat too much, I'll take you to eat something else."
Hawkeye walked in front, holding the candy apple that he had taken from her in his hand, which looked extraordinarily funny compared to his tall figure and ironed clothes, but strangely in harmony.
Xiaoxiao walked two steps behind him, walked to him at a faster speed, and looked up at his hand holding the candy apple.Hawkeye glanced at her, then switched hands, taking the candy to the side farther from her.
Smiling slightly startled, couldn't help lowering his head and snickering for a while.Then he quietly hooked Hawkeye's little finger with his finger.Hawkeye grasped it subconsciously.
He was thinking about how cooking wine was added to this apple candy, so why not let her 'sneak attack', just look at her, and happily put her hand in his palm.The corners of the mouth curved slightly imperceptibly.
The lights here are busy, and when you look up, you can see the fiery trees, silver flowers and night sky, which is very beautiful.
