Liang Jian: I have a canteen

The sea is bright and the moon is at this time.

Xu San stood on the deck at the bow of the ship, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and said leisurely.

"What was he saying? It sounded like he was speaking Chinese?" Lisa, who had spent some time in Qingdao, asked quietly.

"He's referring to an ancient Chinese poem," Huanji said, explaining the two lines of poetry to Xu San.

"Is it poetry?" Lisa pondered the meaning of the two poems, then said, "However, it seems that what he said is not complete."

The sea is bright and the moon is at this time.

The lover complains about the night, and the lovesickness begins at night.

Extinguishing the candle, I cherish the remaining light; donning my robe, I feel the dew's dampness.

I cannot bear to give you all this; I will return to my bed to dream of our happy reunion.

After listening to Lisa's words, Xu San recited the entire poem "Looking at the Moon and Thinking of a Distant Friend" by the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Jiuling.

Then, he explained it again himself.

"Are you homesick?" Lisa asked.

"I guess so. It's been a long time since I've been back," Xu San said calmly. "But I believe it won't be long before I can go back."

“When we get to Tokyo, can I take you to visit your home?” Lisa asked.

Xu San smiled wryly, "I doubt it will work, because even if I get to Tokyo, I might not be able to get home."

"I can't find it. Was your home also destroyed in the war?"

"No, my home wasn't destroyed because of the war, it's just that it can't be found."

In the distance, lights flickered, and several foreign sailors were patrolling with flashlights, seemingly about to find this place. Xu San raised an eyebrow slightly and patted Lisa on the shoulder, "I'll explain this to you slowly later. We're afraid we'll have to hide again for now."

Huanji glanced at the lights in the distance. "The search is really thorough. It seems the captain is starting to get anxious."

"No rush! Let's play hide-and-seek with him slowly," Xu San said with a smile, then looked at Lisa, "Are you sleepy?"

Lisa shook her head, a cute smile playing on her lips. "Lisa loves playing hide-and-seek the most."

"Alright!" Xu San reached out and flicked Lisa's forehead. "Stop pretending to be a child, your acting is terrible."

Lisa covered her head and blinked a few times. "Ah! How did you figure that out?"

"You're still too green to show off your acting skills in front of me."

"Ah!" Lisa rubbed her head, not quite understanding what Xu San meant.

"Let's go!" Xu San didn't pay much attention to the still somewhat bewildered Lisa, but instead took out his pistol and attached a silencer. "What a nuisance."

"Is someone approaching?" Huan Ji also took out a shuriken, held it in her hand, and turned around to guard the direction behind Xu San.

"Follow me, now we're really going to play hide-and-seek." Xu San finished speaking, grinned, and yawned.

After saying that, Xu San pushed back and pulled Lisa into the shadows, with Huanji and Hans following closely behind.

Ten seconds after the five people left, two men dressed in black suddenly appeared at the spot where Xu San and the others had been.

One of them pulled down his mask, revealing a rather large, bulbous nose, and then sniffed hard. "They were just here."

As he spoke, he reached out to feel the sea breeze and then said again, "They should have just left."

After saying that, the man with the red nose looked at the sailors in the distance who were searching with flashlights and said, "A bunch of idiots, they've alerted the enemy." (End of Chapter)
