Chapter 8 No wonder you want me to come
"Miss, it's here, please get out of the car. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Mother Xu helped Yuan Xiyue get out of the car, and looked up, this ferry port was very desolate, there were no people such as street vendors and porters who usually did small business at the ferry, and they couldn't even hear the birds, and the only thing that was a little angry was a small fishing boat docked on the shore.
When they came to the shore, Xu's mother and the housekeeper also stopped, and Xu's mother helped Yuan Xiyue to get on the boat.
"Miss, the old slave and Mother Xu will go back first, after you get to the island, hand over the things to the designated person, and you can set off to come back, and in two hours, we will go back to the shore to wait for the eldest lady." The housekeeper rarely opened his mouth to speak, and after explaining, he stood silently aside.
Yuan Xiyue said "um", and then glanced back at the old woman, who seemed to have a tacit understanding with her, and immediately understood that she would say to the boatman, "Let's sail."
Then, Yuan Xiyue saw that Xu's mother and the housekeeper were getting smaller and smaller, and at this moment, she rarely wanted to laugh, feeling like her parents were sending their children into the examination room, looking eager to take the exam for her.
But in the end, it's just an illusion, these two people in the family are here to complete the task, to put it mildly, they are escorting hostages. If the hostages could be successfully received before dark, the mission would have been successfully completed, but if she, the hostage, had unfortunately failed to complete the mission, then the two of them would not be to blame.
Everything can only rely on yourself, since you have chosen to face unknown risks, you must have enough self-confidence.
After the ship was already far from the shore, Yuan Xiyue turned around and sat in the cabin. At this time, even if she didn't look at the old woman opposite, she knew that the other party was looking at her, but after a few glances, the old woman looked away.
When I got up in the morning, Yuan Xiyue heard Cui'er mention that this pearl lake is the largest lake in Linzhou City, there are many islands in the lake, and many people in the city who pay attention to luxury will build a villa on the island. It's just that few people will go to the south coast and the surrounding islands that have just boarded the boat, and the specific reason is that Cui'er said that she heard that the feng shui here is not good.
After a while, a light rain fell, and small droplets of water fell on the surface of the lake, like pearls pouring down from the sky and jumping on the blue soft veil.
Yuan Xiyue was attracted by the beautiful scenery for a while, and time passed unconsciously.
The ship traveled for about half an hour, and was finally able to dock.
After stopping steadily, the old woman reached out and wanted to carry Yuan Xiyue ashore, but Yuan Xiyue gently and skillfully took her arm away, she thought that the two of us didn't know who was holding whom, and then jumped briskly ashore.
The old woman did not care, and turned to lead the way. After walking on the open shore for a while, Yuan Xiyue looked at the scene in front of her and suddenly understood why Situ Juan did not hesitate to tear her face to let her come on this trip.
With an endless grove in front of you, a few strange bird chirpings and the occasional small animal jumping in it, instantly reminiscent of a movie like Jurassic Park.
However, it is estimated that what I saw just now should not be a little dinosaur, but it should be more than enough to scare a hundred pampered little girls like Yuan Yushan.
Only then did the old woman say the first thing since they met: "Keep up, or you will easily get lost." ā
Yuan Xiyue smiled and did not answer. The old woman was slightly surprised when she looked at her calmly, but she soon returned to her usual look.
This old woman, who was old, walked as if she was in a hurry, and she was out of breath all the way. Yuan Xiyue thought that if it was in her previous life, she might still respect her and help her, but now that she thinks about it, she is here to be a courier and hostage, and she herself has to go so fast, there is really no need to do more favors.
As she walked, Yuan Xiyue realized that the old woman seemed to be taking her through a labyrinth, because whenever they felt like they were going to get lost, they could just turn next to a certain tree or a certain plant, and then there would be a new road in front of them.
The key is that he can always hear some strange birdsong and small animal calls in his ears, and Yuan Xiyue felt that just when these strange birds and small animals were about to approach, they suddenly jumped into the distance. Yuan Xiyue is actually still a little scared, because although he has been very fond of outdoor activities since he was a child, whether it is in his previous life or in this life, it is the first time he has run into such a dense forest.
However, she doesn't want the other party to look down on her, and when she goes out alone, she must have enough confidence to be a hostage, which shows that she is still valuable to the other party, as long as she completes the task.
The two of them walked through the forest for a while, and finally came to the foot of a mountain, which was not very high, but very steep, and a building on the top of the mountain was very eye-catching.
This building does not look very tall, and if it were built in the middle of the city, it would only make people think that it was the residence of an ordinary rich family. But from a distance, you can see that this mountaintop house is built entirely of regular stones, and the manpower required to transport so many stones to the top of the mountain is amazing enough.
Yuan Xiyue followed the old woman around to the other side of the mountain, only to find that there was a hanging basket-like device that went straight to the top of the mountain, and the design was relatively exquisite, and there were two people standing next to the hanging basket.
Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Yuan Xiyue was inexplicably a little flustered. When she took the fruit basket and followed the old woman all the way up in the hanging basket, she found that it overlooked the whole island, and in some places it was not at all like a labyrinth even if it was not blocked by the canopy of trees, which made her even more curious about the island.
When they arrived at the mansion at the top of the mountain, although they were heavily guarded along the way, because of the old woman's pass, relying on her to brush their faces, the two soon arrived at the door of a secluded room.
The people inside seemed to hear the movement, and after a few words of conversation, an old man in his sixties opened the door and walked out, and a strong smell of medicine wafted from the room.
"Did you bring it?"
"Brought."
The conversation between the old man and the old woman was very brief, and then the old woman took the fruit basket in Yuan Xiyue's hand and handed it to the old man.
"Let's go in and see the young master." The old man seemed to see the worry in the old woman's eyes, and commanded her.
The old woman nodded, turned around and walked into the house, and at the moment the door was closed, Yuan Xiyue saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy lying on the couch in the room. Although it was only a second, Yuan Xiyue still saw it clearly. If this beautiful boy was in his previous life, he would be a sunny little fresh meat, and he would have fascinated thousands of sisters and aunts, but now his face looks extremely dull, as if he has only one breath left.
After the old woman closed the door, the old man didn't look at her, and left the small courtyard with the fruit basket, presumably using green berries to boil medicine for the young man.
Yuan Xiyue thought, what's going on? Leave me here alone, as if I wasn't important as a hostage. Forget it, if people want to call the children of Lord Yuan's family to come to this trip, they must have already investigated what you look like, and there is no need to wait until now to verify your identity.
In line with the most basic sympathy of Yan Kong, Yuan Xiyue also hoped that the young man could get better after taking the medicine boiled with green berries, so that he could go back safely.
Yuan Xiyue soon saw that the old man came to the door with the boiled medicine, and the smell of green berries was actually floating in the medicine bowl, which felt like juice squeezed from green berries.
After he brought it in and gave it to the young man, Yuan Xiyue thought to himself, after he was relieved, he should be able to leave to go back, these green berries brought today are estimated to be enough for him to use for a while.
"Young Lord-what's wrong with you, wake up-"
Hearing this exclamation in the house, Yuan Xiyue was in a trance for a while, and before she could react, the old woman who sent her suddenly rushed out of the house and shouted: "Take her down for me." ā
At this time, many guards suddenly rushed out around the small courtyard, which was still quiet just now, and they drew their swords one after another to firmly control Yuan Xiyue.
At this time, Yuan Xiyue felt that the stone in his heart seemed to have fallen to the ground.
"I knew that hostages must not be so good, and since you are going to tear your face, then I have to ...... It's up to you. ā
