After getting off the boat, they found that the island was very desolate. Some people couldn't help but ask Zhu Ruru how long they would have to stay here before going back.

Zhu Ruru did not answer the other party immediately because she was not sure how long she would stay.

However, Zhu Ruru had already planned to take a boat back at night to check out the situation.

"What? You want to go back at night? This, this is too dangerous..."

Tang Qinglan immediately became worried when she heard Zhu Ruru say that she was going back at night and not taking many people with her.

There were so many barbarians. The ones seen on the beach alone probably numbered several thousand, and each one of them looked fierce.

Thinking of this, Tang Qinglan had a look of disapproval.

"Ruru, let's wait a few days. After a few days, let's go back together." Tang Qinglan didn't want her daughter to take this risk.

"Mom, I won't go alone. Ayan is with me. In addition, I will also ask a few pirates to come with me. We will act by ear. If the situation goes wrong, we will run away. Don't worry, nothing will happen.

of."

Zhu Ruru comforted Tang Qinglan.

She has medicine that can stun people, as well as some poisons she made secretly. Although she cannot fight against so many of them, she is still sure of protecting herself.

Seeing that Zhu Ruru was very persistent, Tang Qinglan knew that her daughter had made up her mind to go back. Even if she tried to persuade her, she could not persuade her, so she could only tell her to be careful.

It was not too early, and everyone was busy consciously. Some people went to the beach to collect fish, shrimps and seashells, while others went to the forest to pick up some wood and lit a bonfire.

Probably because of their previous exile experience, they quickly adapted to such a desolate island.

"Sister, can I have a few words with you?"

Zhu Ruru had just lit the bonfire when Meng Chengyue suddenly came over.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhu Ruru raised her head and glanced at Meng Chengyue, then lowered her head and continued to add firewood to the fire.

However, after a long while without hearing a reply, Zhu Ruru had no choice but to raise her head again. When she raised her head, she saw Meng Chengyue looking like he was hesitant to speak.

Zhu Ruru: “??”

Meeting Zhu Ruru's gaze, Meng Chengyue's face turned red obviously. He glanced at Meng Huaiyan who was standing aside, and then mustered up the courage to say, "Sister Ru, can I have a few words with you alone?"

Zhu Ruru: “…”

Zhu Ruru had no choice but to stand up and patted Meng Huaiyan's hand.

"Well, I'll have a few words with Brother Chengyue and I'll be back soon."

Meng Huaiyan was obviously unhappy, but he didn't say anything.

Deep down, he disliked Ruru and Meng Chengyue being alone together, but he knew that he couldn't stop them.

Zhu Ruru and Meng Chengyue walked to the beach not far away.

"There is no one here, Brother Chengyue, what do you have to say to me?"

In my impression, Meng Chengyue rarely took the initiative to talk to anyone. Zhu Ruru couldn't help but be a little curious about what he wanted to say to her.

After a short pause, Meng Cheng finally spoke: "Sister Ru, I heard from Aunt Lan that you are going back later, but is it true?"

When Zhu Ruru heard that this was what happened, all the curiosity in her heart immediately dissipated. She nodded, "Well, I plan to go back after nightfall to check the situation."

Although Meng Chengyue had known for a long time that Zhu Ruru would definitely give him a positive answer, he still couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.

"Sister Ru, this, this is too dangerous..."

Zhu Ruru: “I will be careful.”

"Brother Chengyue, if you want to persuade me, don't do it. I have already decided to go on this trip."

Meng Chengyue really wanted to persuade Zhu Ruru not to go back, at least not to go back tonight. If he goes back in a few days, those barbarians might be driven away by the officers and soldiers.

But after Zhu Ruru said this, Meng Chengyue had no choice but to swallow all the words of advice back into his stomach.

He really wanted Zhu Ruru to take him with him, but since he didn't know martial arts, even if he went, he would probably be a burden.

At this moment, Meng Chengyue deeply understood the saying "A useless scholar is a scholar".

He envied Meng Huaiyan for being able to always be by Zhu Ruru's side to protect her.

"Brother Chengyue, do you have anything else to say? If there is nothing else..."

This time, before Zhu Ruru finished speaking, she was interrupted by Meng Chengyue, "Can you wait a moment?"

Zhu Ruru: “…”

The next moment, Zhu Ruru saw Meng Chengyue taking out a wooden box from his sleeve and handing it to Zhu Ruru.

The corners of Zhu Ruru's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Is he going to give her another gift?

Isn't it the same priceless medicinal material contained in the blood lotus last time?

The last time she accepted it, she reluctantly had a reason. After all, she treated him.

This time, she absolutely couldn't accept it anymore.

So she refused directly, "Brother Chengyue, I can't accept your gift anymore. No matter what is in it, I can't accept it. You can take it back."

"Like a sister..."

"Don't say anything more. Well, if nothing happens, I'll go back."

Zhu Ruru didn't give Meng Chengyue a chance to say anything more, dropped those words and ran away as if running away.

Mainly, she was afraid that the wooden box contained something really priceless like the blood lotus last time, and she was afraid that after seeing it, she would not be able to resist the temptation and accept it.

Looking at the fleeing figure, Meng Chengyue clenched the wooden box in his hand, his face a little disappointed.

He understands that when a woman refuses to accept a gift from a man, this represents her rejection of him...

"Ahem."

Just when Meng Chengyue was stunned, a coughing sound suddenly came from behind a big stone on the side.

Meng Chengyue immediately came to his senses and looked towards the big stone.

He frowned slightly and said, "Who is there?"

Soon, a woman came out from behind the stone.

Meng Chengyue was no stranger to her. She was the daughter of Zhu Ruru's second uncle, and her name seemed to be Zhu Yushan.

Thinking that she had been hiding behind the stone just now and must have listened to all the conversation between him and Zhu Ruru, Meng Chengyue's face became a little ugly for a while.

"Why...why are you hiding there and eavesdropping? This kind of behavior is too..."

"What's too big?" Zhu Yushan pursed her lips and defended: "I didn't mean it. I've been here a long time ago. I just wanted to listen to the tide quietly for a while. Who knows how you and cousin Ruru suddenly appeared.

it's here."

"and you……"

"You want to ask me if I heard the conversation between you and cousin Ruru?" Zhu Yushan admitted openly, "I heard it. I also heard that you were going to give something to cousin Ruru.

My sister refused."

"You..." Meng Chengyue's face became increasingly ugly.

He didn't know much about Zhu Ruru's cousin. He only knew that the relationship between the two cousins ​​didn't seem to be particularly good.

"What are you talking about? Do you want me not to tell this matter?"

"Don't worry, I'm not a big talker, I won't talk nonsense everywhere."
