Chapter 296: Three Happy Events in Life
Someone was missing, probably killed, and the boatmen who were still blowing the wind on the deck hid almost instantly, and everyone was terrified for fear that the water monster would have too much appetite and eat them all.
In the past, it was just a casual tooth knock with people after dinner, and after listening to it, they were skeptical, there were water ghosts and water monsters are two different things, and it was not yet the time when the yin qi was at its heaviest in the seventh lunar month, and the water ghosts did not ask for their lives, how could a water monster emerge again, could it be a goblin who eats people?
"What's the noise, don't sleep anymore?"
Leading to a certain cabin on the first floor, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the person who spoke was dressed in a colorful dress, his eyes were hazy, and anyone who was disturbed to sleep well would not be in a good temper.
"Look, beauty!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and the boatmen, who had been noisy just now, were silent for a moment, standing in place, as if someone had used the immobilization method for them.
There are a few folds in the beauty's dress, a little messy, hanging loosely on the body, the cool breeze gently blows a few strands of hair in front of her forehead, and under the firelight, it is even more lined with cream, so beautiful that you can't find a single flaw.
"Bunny Spirit!"
Mo Xiaohe was a little familiar with the voice, and after seeing her, her sleepiness went away.
Xu Yanhui hadn't woken up yet, his eyes were hazy, there was a layer of mist floating, he was stunned, and the corners of his lips rose. He took the maid to hurry, because he got up late, the tickets were sold out, he had no choice but to pretend to be a woman again, betray his hue, and coax a staff member to give up the best cabin.
"Brother Zheng, little lotus sister."
Xu Yanhui winked playfully at Gu Zheng, and suddenly there was a gasping sound, after the passengers reacted, Gu Zheng's expression immediately changed, the ugly should be hidden, don't come out to scare people, why can the ugly monster get the favor of the beauty!
That coquettish cry made Mo Xiaohe feel cold, she hugged her arm with her hand, fell goosebumps, and her face was distorted, she knew that the rabbit spirit was like this, she should pretend not to know, anyway, every time she met him, it would be no good thing.
"Beauty, go back quickly, it's windy at night, and the wind is cold."
In Dawu, as long as they are beautiful and always taken care of, the passengers are facing the rabbit spirit, which is called a courteous scholar, who just heard that there is a water monster and was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, acted as a hero at the moment, protecting him by his side, and wanted to send Xu Yan back into the cabin.
The vigorous maid took two steps forward, holding a man's collar in one hand, and threw the person on the stairs, her face silent and unfazed.
This action made Mo Xiaohe a little uncomfortable, lonely men and widows, living in the same room, and swaying all over the world, saying that the two were nothing, she didn't believe it, but the rabbit spirit is a person with a marriage contract, if she is dissatisfied, let the two families dissolve the marriage contract, and clearly cuckold Yingluo, which is too arrogant.
In her heart, Yingluo and her have a similar temper, although the two of them have not met many times, they are sincere as sisters, Mo Xiaohe is upset for Yingluo, and is thinking about finding an opportunity to ask Xu Yanhui what he means.
"Look, there's something floating on the water!"
Someone shouted below, pulling everyone's attention back, no matter how beautiful the beauty is, the passengers are not in the mood to appreciate it, everyone is worried about their future, for fear that the water monster will be ruthless, and then eat people, on the edge of the first deck, kneeling in a circle of people.
Everyone knelt and kowtowed, some boat passengers burned incense and prayed, and a few people were still standing in place, which seemed abrupt.
Xu Yan shook his hair coquettishly, his gaze crossed Mo Xiaohe, and fell on Xu Tietou and Lin Xiucai, with a touch of understanding in his eyes, he leaned lazily against the door, covered his mouth with his hand, yawned, and said casually, "Xiaohe, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you blessed?" ”
Three months pregnant, Mo Xiaohe ate and drank well, her face was flushed, and she was a little pregnant, Xu Yanhui gave Gu Zheng a thumbs up, I have to say, it is still a widow who looks at people accurately, has tasted the taste of a man, and knows that a man can't just look at his face.
"Less nonsense, are you going back to Dawu Kyoto?"
Mo Xiaohe's tone is very bad, she is now a little fatter than before, but she is far from Fa Fu, the rabbit spirit can't spit out ivory in her mouth, and her mouth is uncomfortable.
It seems that he and Yingluo are not suitable, and the vigorous maid is a facial paralysis, which is just right for a noisy sparrow like him.
"Woo, my miserable lady, hair, ah!"
Xu Yanhui nodded, and then, with a sharp look in his eyes, he strode to the railing, looking at the river, two or three meters away there was a clump of black hair, and next to the hair, was a purse embroidered with green bamboo.
"That's a purse, my mother made it for me! Lady, you died so miserably! ”
There was a sigh downstairs, there was a man crying and crying, the man said a few words, cried a few times, but let everyone understand the rough.
The scholar who cried bitterly was surnamed Wu, his home was in Licheng, a scholarly family, just after standing, a high school jinshi, ranking in the tail, waiting to fill the vacancy and be a petty official. It's a pity that no one in the family can help, so he took his wife to Kyoto on this trip, and walked the door together, maybe he got the blue eyes of the nobles.
The river shimmered and was calm, and after a moment of waiting, the men became more emboldened, and the official who escorted the official ship made an iron hook and stretched it forward, hooking out the woman's long hair and bloodstained purse.
"The three happy events in life, being promoted to become rich and dying a lady, perhaps, that person will get what he wants."
Xu Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and she said something inexplicable seriously, she waved her hand to Mo Xiaohe and Gu Zheng, "Sleeping late is the easiest to get wrinkles, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
After the words, leave a few people with a background.
Xu Tietou was seen to be dressed as a man, not angry, after all, he was embarrassed and thrown in front of outsiders, he was entangled in his heart, that guy who is neither male nor female, should he think that he and he are all the way, right? Willing to gamble and lose, he has no quirky habits.
"Little sister, he's the person in the portrait!"
Li Xiu stared straight at the door of the cabin, with an obsessive face, she had seen Xu Yanhui's portrait, her whole heart had fallen, everyone had a love for beauty, she had imagined that she would have the opportunity to see Xu Yanhui before, and she couldn't imagine such a beautiful person.
Lin Xiucai's face sank like water, his face was blue and black, the lady praised him for his handsome appearance in bed last night, and in one day, he was fascinated by another person, and he had to admit that his appearance was far from the demon.
Feeling Lin Xiucai's cold air, Mo Xiaohe snickered in her heart, she pretended to be ignorant and nodded, "It's him." ”
Not only Lin Xiucai has a black face, Xu Tietou is also not a taste in his heart, he is said to be beautiful like a little lady, he has always felt very ashamed, and now he finds a more beautiful one, the difference between the two is cloudy and muddy, he was compared to the dust, and he was a little unhappy.
In the cabin downstairs, Jinshi, surnamed Wu, was still crying, and the passengers persuaded him to mourn. was eaten by the water monster, and the body could not be found, because no one had the courage to kill the water monster, and opened the belly to check, and everyone comforted him at the same time, but they were glad in their hearts, thanks to that person was not themselves.
Wu Jinshi has already identified from his hair and purse, those things belong to his wife, according to what he said, the water monster with green fangs, jumped up from the river, dragged his mother directly into the river, and soon disappeared, he wanted to save people, but he was powerless.
At the moment of falling into the water, someone heard the sound, but the distance was not close, and the witnesses only saw the fangs flashing with cold light, which seemed to be consistent with Wu Jinshi's words.
"Husband, is there really a water monster in the river?"
Mo Xiaohe was already suspicious, and after listening to Xu Yanhui's ambiguous words, he vaguely had a guess, it was not her conspiracy theory, Wu Jinshi was next to him at the time, why didn't the water monster roll him away? And he cried and cried, turning over and over to express a meaning, his mother was dead, and entered the belly of the water monster.
How could he be so sure? A few strands of hair and a bloody purse alone tell the story?
"Perhaps."
Gu Zheng's eyes were dark, he was silent for a long time, and tightened the cloak on his wife's body, "It's windy, it's cold, let's go back." ”
There are thousands of strange things in the world, all kinds of spirits and ghosts in folklore, maybe they really exist, some people swear that they have seen it, but the rest of them are hearsay, and they are passed around, so there is a little less authenticity.
A few years ago, on the way to Gu Zheng's dart, he once met a big snake dozens of meters long in the wild, with cyan skin lines and a touch of red on his head, and the dart division team was driving away the big snake.
A year later, he passed by again and picked up the dart of life and death, transporting a shipment of priceless jewelry. In the same place, they encountered a ferocious mountain bandit, who seemed to have received news in advance, and there were many of them, and their own side suffered heavy casualties.
Those mountain bandits had poison in their hands, Gu Zheng was cut out of the knife, and his body was highly poisonous, when he was unconscious and not very conscious, when he met the snake again, he felt a slight stinging pain in his skin, and was bitten by the snake.
He thought that he must have no way to live, but he woke up when it was dark, the snake bit and attacked the poison with poison to save his life.
He knew it in his heart, but he didn't say it, and those people didn't necessarily believe it anyway.
The world is full of wonders, there are water monsters in the river, Gu Zheng accepts it very calmly, but if Wu Jinshi's lady really goes, it may not be a water monster.
"Listen to the infiltration, let's hurry back to the cabin."
Li Xiu's feelings for Xu Yanhui are very simple, just admiring beautiful people, whether male or female, is enough to amaze her, and she has no other thoughts, besides, Lin Xiucai's cold face, she can't ignore it if she wants to, she quickly explained it to him, otherwise this cautious person will definitely remember it.
A small raindrop suddenly floated in the sky, several people returned to the cabin, Mo Xiaohe soaked her feet in hot water, felt that there was nothing in her stomach, empty, she asked for noodles for one night, and instructed, "Husband, as long as the noodles are clear, oil and salt, don't look at them, I don't want fish soup." ”
Ever since she heard that the fish in the river eat meat, and there are floating corpses in the river, Mo Xiaohe has been a little disgusted, and before getting on the boat, she prepared a lot of food, and made up her mind not to eat the things on the boat.
After a cold wind blowing outside for a while, she just wanted to eat something hot at this time, she brought capers, pickled spicy cabbage and crispy radish, as well as meat sauce, conch meat, more than a dozen bottles and jars, enough to eat for three or five days.
"I brought a roll of hand-rolled noodles, so I don't have to ask for it from the kitchen."
Gu Zheng took out a small basket, which contained a few cold buns, scones and a roll of hand-rolled noodles, I heard that the generation of Licheng liked to eat rice more, and he didn't know if the boat was fully prepared, he saw someone selling it, so he bought some.
There was a small red clay stove in the cabin, he carried the handle of the teapot, poured boiling water into the small pot, and when he turned around, he saw his own lady watching with his eyes.
"This pot is a bit small, only a small bowl, I'll bake you two more big buns later."
The bun was stuffed with radish and shrimp, Gu Zheng was reluctant to eat it, so he kept it all for Mo Xiaohe. After she became pregnant, her appetite was almost the same as his, and the two of them were no different, ten big buns were barely the weight of a meal, and she could only eat seven or eight full.
"Then I'll wait."
After the noodles came up, Mo Xiaohe drank the noodle soup with a spoon and waited for her husband to warm the buns. No matter where she is, she has food and drink, and it's good that nothing bad happens, but she is still a little worried about someone who has just fallen into the water and disappeared, and is in the same boat as them.
There was nothing, but after listening to Xu Yan's words, she sensitively noticed that there was something strange in the details, in case Wu Jinshi's lady was harmed, she didn't care about this idle matter?
