Chapter 52: Whereabouts unknown
The ferry port in Blackwater Town is not too far from the market, and it is only after crossing the West Bridge at the entrance of the town and walking through a mountain trail that you can reach. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But when Jiuyue arrived at the ferry, there was still no trace of the red lotus, and the whole ferry was clear at a glance, only two girls who were picking lotuses and a young man who was about to leave with a fish on his back in a basket.
I don't know if it was because it was time to see a few empty ferries floating alone on the water, and not a single boatman was seen.
Jiuyue hurriedly stepped forward to stop the young man who was about to leave, "This little brother, have you ever seen a woman who is about the same size as me, with a face like a full moon, eyes like copper bells, and a woman in green clothes?"
The young man was as tall as Jiuyue, dressed in brown coarse linen clothes, with a thin appearance, a slightly collapsed nose, and his big eyes rolled around his bones, and he thought for a while, and then tilted his head as if he remembered something and said to Jiuyue, "There is indeed such a girl who has come, saying that she is going to Taoyuan Village, who dares to go to that ghost place now!" So at that time, this girl had some disputes with the boat boss, but in the end, somehow, the boat boss really crossed her!"
"But the boat boss knew that he couldn't go to Taoyuan Village, so why would he cross her?" Jiu Yue felt that this matter was too strange, Honglian didn't have any money on her, what way could she make the boat boss dare to take over this lifeless work?
"I don't know about this, but it stands to reason that Taoyuan Village is not too far from here, and I guess the ship boss should have come back a long time ago, but I haven't seen him yet...... But if you dare to go to that kind of place, I'm afraid that he will not return......" The young man seemed to be very afraid of Taoyuan Village, and left in a hurry after saying the last sentence to Jiuyue.
Looking at the figure of the young man gradually moving away, Jiuyue frowned, could it be that Honglian really went to Taoyuan Village? Why did she always feel that something was wrong...... Regardless of how Red Lotus went, just Red Lotus's behavior of going to Taoyuan Village to find daisies is very puzzling, Jiuyue feels that if she is Red Lotus, she will turn back to Qingfeng Inn when she goes to the 'Green Lantern' and doesn't find Daisy......
"Yue'er, then what should we do now? If Lian'er really went to Taoyuan Village, then she would definitely be in danger now! We have to find her quickly!" Daisy was a little anxious, her face full of panic.
Jiu Yue glanced at Daisy's worried look, thinking that in addition to finding the red lotus, Daisy originally wanted to go back to Taoyuan Village to have a look, right?
"But now there is not a single boatman...... How are we going to get there?" Jiu Yue hesitated, although she had concerns in her heart, but at this time she was even more worried about whether Red Lotus was safe, if there was a way to go to Taoyuan Village, she would also go to this trip anyway.
At this time, Liu Sheng, who had been standing behind Jiuyue and did not speak, said leisurely, "In Xiabucai, I just happened to know the waterway to Taoyuan Village, if Miss Yue wants to go, I can lead the way for the girl in Xia." ”
“…… You...... Do you know how to get there?!" Jiuyue turned her head to look at Liu Sheng in disbelief, "How do you know?"
Liu Sheng didn't seem to understand the doubts in Jiuyue's eyes, and said, "...... Because under are the locals. ”
"......" Liu Sheng's words made Jiuyue dumbfounded, and it seemed to be such a reason...... But Daisy is also a local, so why doesn't Daisy know?
When Daisy looked at Jiuyue's hesitant gaze, she seemed to understand the question in Jiuyue's eyes, and hurriedly explained, "Don't look at me...... I left here when I was very young......"
“……”
Looking at the few leaves of the boat parked at the water's edge, Jiu Yue casually got on the one closest to the shore, Daisy and Liu Sheng also sat up, there was a support rod on the bow of the boat, Liu Sheng reached out and took the support rod in his hand, and looked at it for a long time, as if he didn't know how to use it......
“…… Feed...... Are you okay?" Jiu Yue looked at Liu Sheng's weak body, holding a support rod in his hand, no matter how he looked at it, he felt very weird, this scholar's hand should be holding a pen to match, right?
And Liu Sheng didn't reply to Jiuyue's words, he seriously stretched the pole into the water, and drove the boat away from the shore in a few clicks, which made Jiuyue look a little impressed with him......
“…... Yue'er ...... Who is this son?...... And why do you ...... Wearing his clothes?" Daisy asked, leaning her head closer to Jiuyue and whispering curiously in her ear.
Jiu Yue felt that the lilac gauze skirt on her body was too eye-catching, and it was too easy to attract the attention of others when she walked on the street, so she simply put Liu Sheng's robe directly on her body, and at this moment, she didn't have to worry about the soldiers of the Huaxia clan, and even reached out to remove the veil on her face, and at this time, there happened to be a breeze blowing, and the veil was also detached from Jiu Yue's hand and went away with the wind.
"Hmm...... His name is Liu Sheng, and I met Honglian when I was having dinner at the Qingfeng Inn...... As for why I am wearing his clothes...... This is a long story...... "Jiuyue made a long story short and told Daisy about what happened to him and Honglian at the Qingfeng Inn, of course, some details that were not so easy to describe Jiuyue automatically ignored.
"This boy is very handsome...... Daisy chuckled, "and Taoyuan Village is rumored to be so evil, he can take the initiative to take us there without saying a word...... Yue'er, I think he's eighty percent interesting to you. ”
Daisy's words made Jiuyue suddenly remember that Liu Sheng had vowed to marry her...... I felt a little headache in an instant, so I didn't say anything else, this Liu Sheng is the man that Red Lotus has a crush on, if she puts her mind on her, Red Lotus will not have to turn the sky with her!
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jiuyue lay her body back, thinking of the red lotus that was missing, Jiuyue's heart was very uneasy, and she always felt a particularly bad premonition entangled in her heart, but she didn't dare to think about it, she only hoped that the red lotus would never have anything to do.
Lying on his back in the leaf boat in September, he suddenly found that the clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and there was a feeling of black clouds pressing on the top, and the wind and rain were coming.
September felt strange, when they just got on the boat, it was still a sunny day, why did it change on this day?
The oppressive clouds seemed to make the heavy atmosphere in the boat a little more, Ye Zhou swayed with the water, but Jiuyue was awake without the slightest sleep, and the boat was also very quiet and no one spoke.
Daisy was looking into the distance, while Liu Sheng was still concentrating on supporting the boat.
Jiuyue's thoughts gradually drifted away under the shaking of the water, and there were too many things in his heart, chaotic and complicated, but at this time, all of his thoughts came out, making Jiuyue even more restless.
I don't know how long it took, Jiu Yue felt a violent shock to the hull of the boat, and heard Liu Sheng's soft voice, "Miss Yue, Taoyuan Village has arrived." ”
