This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 369 Outlying Island
Hillside cabin.

One lamp, one pot of wine, three people, four dishes.

Are you really determined to leave?

"Yes."

"Do we really have to leave?"

"must."

"Is there absolutely no room for negotiation?"

"No."

"Ok."

Shui Nan didn't say anything more, picked up his wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Shui Wu, sitting to the side, looked as if she had done something wrong, her head down and silent.

Luo Zijun picked up the wine pot and refilled the wine for her father-in-law, comforting him, "Uncle Nan, don't worry, I will take good care of A-Wu."

Shui Nan sneered: "If you go to sea, you can barely take care of yourself, so how can you take care of her?"

After saying that, he sighed deeply and continued to drink.

A moment of silence.

He suddenly slammed down his wine glass with a clang, glanced at him sideways, and said, "You're going to take my daughter to find your wife? I've thought about it carefully, and I feel a little offended. Do you have some kind of grudge against me?"

Luo Zijun quickly picked up the wine pot again and filled it with wine for him, saying, "Uncle Nan, if you don't want to, you can actually leave A-Wu here..."

Upon hearing this, Shui Nan immediately widened her eyes.

Shui Wu also looked up at him.

Luo Zijun quickly added, "Crossing the sea is dangerous, and we don't know if we'll live or die. I don't want A-Wu to go on this risk."

Shui Wu immediately replied, "I'm not afraid."

Her gaze was firm, and her tone resolute: "I'm going to follow you."

Luo Zijun had nothing to say.

Seeing his daughter like this, Shui Nan naturally couldn't complain or blame her anymore. He couldn't help but sigh again, pick up his wine cup, drink it all in one gulp, and then stand up and say, "You should get some rest. I'll come to see you off tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he leaned on his cane and went out the door with a thud.

That tall, limping figure looked so desolate and pitiful in the moonlight-drenched darkness outside.

"Abandon your father, are you willing to do that?"

Luo Zijun looked at the girl opposite him and asked.

Shui Wu lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then looked up at him and said, "I will come back to see him. Father also said that I am free, and I should do what I like."

"Is what you like just following me?"

"No, and I also want to sleep with you."

The girl looked at him with shy yet bold eyes, her cheeks flushing slightly after she finished speaking.

"Um... I like it too."

Luo Zijun admitted.

The two locked eyes, and a brief silence fell over the room.

Outside, a full moon rose into the night sky, and the evening breeze carried the sound of lake water lapping against the rocks, as well as the tranquil atmosphere that only the night could bring.

It's late at night and it's time to sleep.

Luo Zijun carried the blushing, fluttering-eyelashed girl into the room.

The door was locked and the windows were closed.

Red candles were lit in the room, and thin curtains were draped down.

The two went to bed.

"Go to sleep. We're leaving tomorrow morning, so make sure you're well-rested."

Luo Zijun lay down and closed her eyes.

The girl beside him blinked and looked at him for a while, then asked softly, "You're not going to make it?"

Luo Zijun immediately opened her eyes and glared at her fiercely: "Say that again if you dare!"

"You can't do it anymore."

The girl's tone was questioning just now, but it's affirmative now.

Luo Zijun sneered: "Who was it that cried and said they couldn't do it anymore last night?"

"You can't do it now."

The girl blinked, her tone calm, yet it was impossible for anyone to remain calm.

"..."

"good very good!"

Luo Zijun could no longer hold back. She immediately flipped over, mounted her horse, and took off her clothes in one swift motion!
"Girl, tonight we'll fight to the death!"

Outside the window, the moon is hidden behind the clouds.

A figure stood on the edge of the cliff, facing the cold wind, gazing into the distance at the dark night in deep thought.

Before I knew it, a light rain began to fall from the deep night sky.

Soon, the drizzle intensified, becoming a loud, pattering rain.

The vegetation in the mountains was quickly soaked by the rain, and the flowers on the hillside swayed helplessly in the storm. On the lakeshore, small boats collided in the waves, lying haphazardly, their direction unknown.

Underwater, shadowy figures loomed, like demons and monsters.

The figure on the cliff edge remained motionless in the wind and rain, as if the storm had not touched him.

A torrential downpour overnight poured into the lake.

The overflowing lake water meandered along the narrow channel, flowing out to the sea.

When the torrential rain subsided and everything calmed down, a red sun quietly peeked out from the distant horizon.

Outside the cell, Wang Qiangzhuang and his group had already assembled.

The group spent the entire night without sleep, listening to the raging wind and rain outside, thinking about the road ahead. With no end in sight, they were all depressed and sighing.

"We are here in sorrow and worry, unable to sleep all night, while Brother Hua is doing well, enjoying good wine and meat, and having a beautiful woman by his side."

Song Erlang was very envious and jealous, and couldn't help but complain.

Yang Yan laughed and said, "If Brother Song is also a divine physician who can save lives, then naturally he will also have fine wine and meat and beautiful women by his side."

Song Erlang snorted coldly and said, "I came out on important business. How could I be like him, greedy for food, drink, and women?"

Someone chuckled.

After waiting a while longer, the sun slowly rose from the sea.

Luo Zijun has finally arrived.

Behind him followed Shui Nan and his daughter.

Shui Nan's expression was not good. He glanced at everyone and said with a gloomy face, "Let's go. I'll take you to the dock. Leave as soon as possible to avoid further trouble."

If the island's residents knew the miracle doctor was leaving, they probably wouldn't be happy and might gather and cause trouble, which would be a real problem.

At this moment, Ah Kun also led his men out of the prison.

The group passed through many low-rise houses and soon arrived at the dock.

When he encountered some residents on the way, Shuainan gave them a few perfunctory replies, without saying that he would send all of them away, let alone that his own daughter would run off with them.

He can't afford to lose this person.

The boat is ready, and the boatman has boarded it.

"Daddy..."

Shui Wu turned around and looked at her father, her eyes glistening with tears.

Shui Nan forced a smile and said, "Take good care of yourself while you're out. Father is doing fine here on his own, so don't worry about me."

He then looked at someone, his smile instantly turning into a threat: "Kid, if you dare to bully my daughter, I'll find you no matter where you are and grind you to dust!"

Luo Zijun cupped his hands and said, "This humble one would not dare."

"Let's go."

Shui Nan waved her hand, said nothing more, and looked tenderly at her daughter.

Shui Wu finally couldn't hold back her tears. Suddenly, she hesitated, wondering if she should abandon her father for a man she had only met a few days ago.

Luo Zijun stood to the side, waiting patiently without saying a word.

Wang Qiangzhuang and his group had already boarded the ship.

Meng Yang couldn't help but say gruffly, "Kid, what are you dawdling for? Get on the boat! If this woman doesn't want to leave, let her stay. She's just a burden!"

Having wasted so many days on this island without gaining anything, he was naturally frustrated.

Upon hearing this, Shui Nan looked at him with a cold gaze.

The boatman immediately jumped off the boat, looked at Meng Yang and sneered, "If you're in such a hurry to leave, then go ahead and see if you have the guts!"

Meng Yang's face immediately turned angry, and he was about to speak when Song Erlang, who was standing next to him, stopped him.

Wang Qiangzhuang also stopped him with a look and quickly apologized.

Everyone knows that although the lake looks calm, there are a lot of monsters hiding at the bottom. Without the help of the island's sailors, they would not dare to row away on their own.

Fearing a conflict between the two sides, Shuiwu quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Father, I will come back to see you after I help him find his wife."

After saying that, he jumped onto the boat.

"Uncle Nan, don't worry, I will take good care of A-Wu."

Luo Zijun offered a word of comfort and then boarded the boat.

At this moment, the boatman boarded the boat, cursed a few more times, and then prepared to row away.

Just as the small boat turned around, a huge wave suddenly surged up from the lake ahead, and then a giant, strange fish appeared in the wave.

Riding on the strange fish was a thin man with long blue hair and a steel fork. He shouted in a shrill voice, "The captain has ordered that no one is allowed to leave the island!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

Suddenly, waves splashed around the strange fish, and more strange fish appeared, each with a thin man riding on its back.

Shui Nan quickly replied, "The captain personally instructed them yesterday to leave the island early this morning!"

The blue-haired man riding the strange fish shrieked, "The captain said that one of these people has broken the island's rules and committed adultery with a woman on the island. He needs to be arrested, castrated, and then dealt with accordingly!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zijun's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Who is it? Who is breaking the rules?"

The blue-haired man looked at him with a cold gaze, but did not answer. He raised the steel fork in his hand and shouted in a high-pitched voice to those around him, "Arrest the kid who just spoke, strip him naked, and castrate him on the spot!"
