At night, the starry sky is shining.

Shen Man was lying in front of the railing of the walkway of the painting boat, with his back to the door of the room. From time to time, there was the sound of rushing water, with the scent of lily petals, and on the silk windows, slender figures flickered in the candle flames.

Shen Man held his cheeks with both hands and sighed faintly.

Tang Damen said that his body was too dirty, and he would have to take a hot bath tonight no matter what. Luckily, there was everything on the boat, and in a few moments a string of beautiful women brought buckets of hot water and fragrant petals. When he was in wide clothes, Yu Guang, the prisoner of Tang Gate, saw Shen Man who was stunned on the side, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he drove Shen Man out without changing his face.

Shen Man looked at the room full of people and was very depressed, there were all women here, and only she was the one she knew and trusted, why did she want to drive herself out? Fortunately, Tang Jiuyue finally emptied everyone, and she was the only one in the room, and she was happily bathing in it like a little girl.

"I'm not afraid of someone peeping around." Shen Man couldn't help but mutter.

"Knock-knock-knock-" Suddenly a rhythmic tapping sound came from nowhere. Shen Man looked left and right, there was no one around, and when he was wondering if it was an auditory hallucination, he heard this sound again. Shen Man took a few steps back, staring at the tips of his shoes and frowning in thought.

The voice seemed to come from the soles of the feet.

She bent down, hesitating to lean down to listen, when she suddenly heard a man's deep voice coming from behind her.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Man immediately straightened up, although his back was still facing away from him, but there was some kind of threat in his voice. He spoke in a low tone, with a hint of non-anger and self-pride in his tone. Shen Man has seen many people and heard many people speak. She didn't have to look back to feel his momentum at this moment, because this man spoke in a tone that was very similar to her powerful maternal grandfather, Ning Xiang.

Presumably he is the owner of this boat.

The river slammed down on the boat, and a few drops of water splashed on the deck at Shen Man's feet. Looking down at the ground, the figure of the man fell at his feet, he seemed to be wearing a heavy cloak, and his figure was tall and burly, but he bowed slightly.

Shen Man took a breath, slowly turned around and faced him with a smile and said, "My earrings fell off, and I want to look around." ”

In the dim light, Shen Man vaguely saw the man's face. The man was not as burly as he had imagined, but he had thick eyebrows and a constant vigilance in his eyes. The eyes are like torches, the eyes are resolute, and the chin is slightly upturned to look resolute. It seems that he is a decisive, ruthless and invincible person.

Shen Man secretly looked at his face, and figured out his future fortune one by one against the books and texts he read in the Tianwenmen Library Pavilion. Such a person is by no means an ordinary person, and it is rare for Shen Man to encounter such a typical mold in his life, which is just used as a reference research. Shen Man didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to meet him, but since he met him, he simply looked at him face to face and practiced.

The man saw that Shen Man had no fear, and saw the little girl's eyes, but the delicate and lovely appearance was a little cute. After a few hesitations, the anger that had been suppressed in his heart slowly calmed down.

Shen Man was a head shorter than him, and his head was only up to his chest. He was draped in a heavy fur coat, and the collar of the fur fur was being tilted to one side by the wind blowing on the river. The goose crown on his head increased his height even more, and under his huge body, Shen Man looked like a dwarf.

After staring at each other for a long time, the man pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Little girl, do you know that it is rude to stare at a strange man." ”

Shen Man blinked, "I'm a guest here, is Childe the master here?" ”

The man chuckled softly, "You're smart. He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Shen Man's earlobe, and the corners of his mouth were still smiling, "The girl fell off her earrings?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Man unconsciously touched his earlobe, and lowered his head a little weakly.

"I don't know if the girl usually wears only one earring, because I look at the girl's other ear, and it doesn't look like she is still wearing an earring."

Shen Man pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, it may be that I didn't find out when it fell together!" ”

The man smiled, "Since it fell on my painting boat, I am responsible." He came over and grabbed Shen Man's hand and used a lot of strength. Shen Man was pinched painfully, frowned but couldn't shake off his hand. Shen Man looked at his back anxiously, looking at him as if he was not ready to let himself go.

"No, it's not a valuable thing, if you drop it, it really doesn't matter." She turned her head to look inside the room, and Tang Jiuyue's shadow was no longer on the window. She must have heard the commotion here and tried to save herself, right?

At this moment, Tang Jiuyue was wrapped in a heavy quilt and sat firmly on the bed like a small mountain. She stared at the two figures outside through the window, and saw that the tall shadow grabbed Shen Man. Tang Jiuyue's eyebrows twisted slightly, as if she was thinking about making a move, but she felt dizzy as soon as she moved. Her face was flushed, and her whole body was very pink. It was cold outside, but it was warm as spring indoors, Tang Jiuyue looked at the brazier in the house, and gradually her vision was hazy, and then her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally the whole person fell on the soft bed with the quilt.

Before the whole coma, she looked at the figure outside the house, her lips closed and murmured, "Xiaoman, I may need a little ...... Medicine ......"

Shen Man followed the man all the way forward, watching the shawl hair on his collar fluttering, and his side face looked cold and handsome in the moonlight. Shen Man knew that he was a good-looking person, and most women would have a good impression of such a masculine and well-behaved person. Although Shen Man also had a certain affection for him, it was that kind of closeness.

Hastily descending the steps, Shen Man accompanied him to a cabin. Passing by a doorway with artemisia hanging on it, Shen Man seemed to hear a man and a woman talking inside.

The man seemed to be saying, "It's so late now, we shouldn't find out if we take a break, right?" ”

The woman's voice was very coquettish, "You think they are all blind, as soon as we stop the boat, we will stop, don't you see that the other boatmen are resting, if the boat does not move, be careful of your skin!" ”

"Hey, that's really annoying to say. We finally caught ...... should have been rewarded, but I didn't want to ......" The middle voice was drowned out by the sound of the river slapping on the painting boat, and Shen Man couldn't hear it clearly.

"Hey, it's all because we are too light on the enemy, I thought we would pick up a bargain, but I didn't expect to meet an opponent, stealing chickens and rice."

"Stop talking, keep paddling."

"Wait, let's take a drink first."

“……”

Shen Man walked farther and farther, and the sound inside the door became softer and softer, and finally he couldn't hear it.

The man who pulled Shen Man was silent all the way, and he didn't even turn his head back to look at Shen Man again. He walked directly to the end of the cabin, stepped back from a wooden door, and then a cold wind blew in his face unexpectedly. The little face that blew Shen Man suddenly stiffened, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to pull a laugh.

After seeing clearly what was hidden inside, Shen Man's eyes straightened. Rao is that she no longer regards money as something outside her body, but she has never seen so many amazing treasures. I saw a room full of rare treasures, full of dazzling treasures. From the table to the floor, and from the floor to the plywood, it was simply golden and shining. No wonder there was a cold air as soon as I came in, it turned out to be the cold light and coldness emitted by these jewels!

The man moved away expressionlessly and said to Shen Man, "There are a lot of earrings in it, you can pick one." ”

It turns out that he brought himself here to pick up the earrings! Shen Man touched his earlobe unconsciously, he knew that he was lying, but why did he give himself a pair of expensive earrings? Is he so cold-hearted and kind-hearted to everyone?

"You pick slowly, I'll wait outside." As he spoke, he turned and walked away.

Shen Man watched his back slowly disappear into the darkness, feeling confused in his heart. What kind of person is this, who has a lot of wealth and abandons money and wealth? The language of conversation is cold, seemingly ruthless, but he keeps the lies that he sees through in his heart, and even leaves himself an outsider to choose before such a large wealth.

Isn't she afraid that she is a spy who has come to test her, and that there are many accomplices on the shore waiting to join her in robbing the boat?

Shen Man's mind drifted away, and when he was thinking about the origin of this man, he heard the rhythm and sound of "Tuk Tuk Tuk-" coming from the wall.

She walked inside, pressed her ear to the wall and listened carefully, but the sound stopped abruptly.

What's going on?

Shen Man always felt that this painting boat was not simple, and it seemed to contain a big secret.

"How's it going, have you chosen?" The man quietly turned back and stood at the door staring at Shen Man. A pair of dark eyes reflected Shen Man's face, his expression was secretive, and he couldn't see his feelings at all.

"Alright, that's it." Shen Man picked it up casually and handed it out with a smile for him to see.

The man saw the object in her palm, and smiled lightly, "You are very discerning, this is Fenglin Xiaopei, who specializes in driving away evil spirits and warding off evil." ”
