Chapter 286: Chisong Village
I clapped my hands and pulled the reins back on: "Don't worry, I'm just carrying it with me." Won't show it. ”
Gao Yuanli nodded, holding a sword in one hand and pulling the reins in the other, walking side by side with me. Chishui Village is opposite, it is a village that looks very much like a formation, we stand on the hill and look down, the village of green tile wooden houses is already curling with smoke.
"However, I don't know how to thank you, Master. "I got on my horse and beat my horse and headed out to the village.
Although the eyes of the cross-male fish are treasures, they must also have the ability to deal with them in order to make the best use of them and give full play to their effects. Not to mention that people are hard to find, even if they do, they will have to break a lot of money.
I'm stained with the light of high and gradual detachment!
"Miss Lu, you don't have to think about that much, my master has never liked to worry about this. He had the opportunity to deal with the eyeballs of the crossfish, and he probably enjoyed it for a long time. You don't have to worry about it. Gao gradually left and hit the horse to keep up.
"Then I'd be more respectful. ”
I didn't refuse, but I still decided that I must give him a generous gift when we meet. As for what to give, it has not yet been decided. In fact, he should give him a fish-eye jade pendant.
It's just that this fisheye is still very useful to me and the fox. The journey back to Wolong Valley was difficult and dangerous, and in some places there was a miasma. It's also much better to have this fisheye.
So, I had to replace it with other gifts.
Gao gradually left me so "boldly" and couldn't help laughing: "My master, he has studied all kinds of strange things in the world all his life. But most of them are just other things to practice their hands. It's the first time that something like getting a crossfish's eyeballs has happened. He must be so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut!"
We talked and laughed all the way into Akamatsu Village, but it was unexpectedly lively.
However, anyone can see that this excitement is new. The stalls on both sides of the main road are made of fresh wood, and the people who walk through them include dignitaries in brocade clothes and silks, as well as people from the rivers and lakes with weapons in their hands. There are also some ordinary people, but they don't look like locals when they look fresh.
After entering the village, we led the horses on foot, but the crowds were too crowded, so we had to find the outermost inn and book a room and tie the horses. However, due to the large number of people, we squeezed several inns (most of which were temporary residences) before we could barely find one with two vacant rooms.
"It seems that there are quite a few people who come here and wait for the floating islands to enter the shallow water. "He and I stood in front of the round window on the second floor of the inn and watched the bustling crowd on the street.
"There are a lot of people, but ...... Why is there no trace of the Qi family's caravan?" Gao Yanli held the window lattice and was puzzled, and his starry eyes were also clouded. The exact news I got at the Penglai Inn was that Qi Jiuniang had already brought people to Chisong Village first, but after searching all the inns, there was no news of them staying in the hotel.
I leaned my back against the lattice on the other side and wrinkled my eyebrows and thought, "Maybe it's just invisible on the surface." ”
"On the surface, what's that?" Gao Yanli turned his face to look at me, and his body also turned around with this movement, and stood sideways with his shoulders against the window lattice, "I think they used pseudonyms, maybe among these dense people, there are people Qi Jiuniang doesn't want to see." ”
I shook my head, I don't know how many people she didn't want to see, but there was one I was pretty sure of. But the man didn't come. is on the same page as Qi Jiuniang, I'm afraid only Yue Yun's family is the only one.
"The Qi family's caravan is huge, and those who follow Qi Jiuniang are also good players. There is no need for them to be incognito, and if they do, they won't make a big deal about it at the Penglai Inn. I stared at the tips of my toes, which were marked by the dirt as it had dried.
Gao gradually left without speaking, as if waiting for me to continue.
I traced the shape of the dirt marks with my gaze, and said unhurriedly, "Only 10 people are allowed on the floating island, and there are only three days of interviews. If it's not crowded, it is estimated that you won't even be able to go to the interview. I think they're going to get ahead of the game!"
"Merchant ships!" Gao looked up sharply from the silence.
Just in time I looked up at him, and we had agreed on an idea when we looked at each other. "Go to the beach!" Gao and I said in unison.
The next evening.
The mountains are full of moonlight, and the shadows of the trees are reflected. The cool sea breeze blowing from the sea on the opposite side, accompanied by the sound of staggered waves, can not help but make people feel refreshed. It's a pity that there are a bit more mosquitoes...... Mosquitoes in autumn are fiercer than tigers.
"Hiss-" Not long after walking through the woods, there was a vicious itch on the back of my hand, and I subconsciously wanted to slap it, but I was dragged by Gao Yuanli next to me.
"Shhhhh Don't startle the snake. I know that a kind of medicine is the best for mosquito bites, and I will personally help you pick it when I go back. He leaned closer to my face and whispered.
I gritted my teeth indignantly: "Why don't the eyes of the male fish prevent mosquitoes?"
A low laugh came from the side: "That fisheye is a treasure to prevent evil diseases, doesn't mosquito prevention reduce its value?"
I couldn't help but look at the night sky and rolled my eyes: "It's good to prevent mosquitoes, the big place can be on the table, and the small place can be in the heart." That's the cultivation that a true treasure should have. As I spoke, I withdrew my hand into my robe.
We speculated that Qi Jiuniang would park the merchant ship in a hidden place in order to grab the first opportunity to get on the ship, and in order to find the Qi family's merchant ship, Gao Yanli and I had been feeding mosquitoes in the woods for an hour.
Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally let us discover the hidden bay more than ten miles away from Chisong Village.
This is a crescent-shaped bay, and if you don't pass through the dense forest on the cliff, you won't find the mystery of heaven and earth in it. The water in the bay is very different from the outside, and the water here is like a mirror, and it also refracts the light from all sides, reflecting the cliffs and trees while forming a mirage.
If you don't look closely, you think that there is no bay, and even if you park a boat in it, you will not be able to see it because of the cover of a mirage.
We walked here during the day, but we didn't get anything. But at night it is different, the night is full of moonlight, and without the support of water mist, these lights cannot form a mirage. Without cover, the merchant ship revealed its prototype.
The hero who found this ship was not me or Gao Yuanli, but the falcon that delivered the letter. I promised to wrap it for half a year's snack (rabbit meat) before I got it to come and investigate.
"Wait a minute, find out the deployment of the merchant ships, I will go down and arrest people, you take care of yourself, don't act rashly. "Gao and I crouched at the top of a crescent-shaped cliff, surrounded by rocks, and the best place to hide.
And the view is still very good, just enough to see the merchant ships.
It was a big ship that was even more gorgeous than Yue Yun's merchant ship, and it was also three floors, but this ship was obviously much larger. And the spare boats on board are also used. The small boats are all around the big boats, like a guard.
