Under the command of the owner, the passengers lined up on the deck in turn and disembarked in an orderly manner. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The heavy rain still did not mean to abate, and Yuan Feng didn't know where to get a few umbrellas from the boat and handed them to Yu Heng. Yu Heng handed three handfuls to Ru Yan, and there were still three handfuls left in his hand. When he saw that behind him was a woman with a child, he gave her a handful. And Ru Yan happened to be an old woman in front of her, and she didn't have any shelter, and when she was drenched in the rain, Ru Yan gave her umbrella to the old woman, and she shared one with Hazy Yue.

The umbrella was light and rainy, and the green pothos saw that Ru Yan and Hazy Moon shared an umbrella, and the rain came in, and Ru Yan's clothes were wet a lot, so she said to Ru Yan sensibly: "Childe! Your injuries are just right, you can't get caught in the rain, so let me share it with Hazy Moon! ”

As he spoke, Hazy Moon had already gotten under the pothos umbrella.

After going ashore, I found that Yu Heng and Yuan Feng's umbrella was given out again, and the two big men shared an umbrella, which looked really a little funny. The umbrella was originally small, and the man was bigger than the woman, and if the two people were too far away, they would be wet by the rain, and if they were too close, it would look awkward.

The clothes on the outside are all wet, and the clothes on the inside are dry.

Seeing the two people walking side by side, Ru Yan wanted to laugh a little, but felt that it seemed inappropriate, so she held back. It was Yu Heng who laughed and quipped, "It seems that Yuan Feng and I even took a bath today!" ”

"Childe, where is this?" The pothos asked Ru Yan timidly.

Ru Yan looked around, but she didn't know where this was.

At this time, I happened to hear the owner of the ship saying, "Isn't this Kao Village?" How did we get to Kao? ”

Then the owner of the boat shouted to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, we are here in Kao Village, there is a big family surnamed Ning, who is kind and charitable, and is very generous and kind, you go with me to Ningyuan's house to avoid the rain, and by the way, beg for hot soup to eat!" ”

So everyone followed the owner of the ship towards the village.

Yu Heng followed up and asked the shipowner: "What kind of place is this Kao Village?" ”

The owner of the boat replied: "This Kao Village is actually a small island formed by the convergence of water from these rivers in different directions. I don't know which dynasty and which generation, some people fled here with their families to escape the war, and saw that the island was full of fruit trees, and there were schools of fish and shrimp in the river, and the products were extremely rich, so they have been living here. Originally, it was not accessible to the outside world, but then an enlightened patriarch lifted this rule. The people here are very hospitable! ”

"I see!" Yu Heng said.

"Hey, there's someone there!" Hazy Moon said.

Everyone took a closer look, and on the road in front of them, there was really a line of people wearing robes and hats walking towards them. The owner of the ship brought a group of people to the side to let the group pass. And the group walked by as if nothing had happened, without even looking at them, as if they were air and could not see them.

After turning seven bends and eight roads, the owner of the boat finally led everyone to a grand and exquisite compound.

The owner of the ship stepped forward and knocked on the door, but for a long time no one answered.

The owner of the ship had to shout at the top of his voice: "Is there anyone? Excuse me, anyone? ”

The shouting was so loud that it smoked, but there was still no answer inside.

Yu Heng stepped forward and said to the shipowner, "Otherwise, let's go to another house in the village to have a look!" ”

The owner of the ship could only reluctantly turn around and prepare to leave, but at this time, the door "creaked" open, and a house-like person inside poked his head out and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The owner of the ship stepped forward with a smile: "May I ask if Master Ning is in the mansion?" ”

The man still had an expressionless face: "What are you looking for our master?" ”

"Oh, that's right, our ship is broken, passing through the treasure land, and we want to borrow a place to avoid ......."

"Wait a minute!" Before the owner could finish his words, the man snapped and closed the door.

"Owner, didn't you say that the people here are very hospitable?" Hazy Moon asked.

"Usually it's very hospitable, but today, these people, I don't know what's wrong!" The owner of the ship looked a little embarrassed.

After a while, the door opened again, and it was still the same guy just now, "Come in!" ”

The man led them into the left side of the courtyard, a place that resembled a small warehouse, and said, "There is firewood and utensils here, so make your own fire and boil water." ”

"Thank you, thank you!" The captain thanked the man.

But the man ignored him and left.

Green Pothos thoughtfully found a wooden stake, swept the dust on it with her hand, and said, "Childe, you sit down for a while, and I'll go and boil the water!" ”

Ru Yan looked at the sensible green pothos and was very relieved.

This god is also an expert in juggling, and just as everyone was cooking their clothes on the fire, the rain outside stopped, and the sun came out.

The boatman went out to take a look, and then walked in and said, "Wait here for a while, and I'll go to them to borrow some tools to repair the ship, and then take everyone away after the repair." ”

While he was talking, there was a noise and quarrel on the east side of the courtyard.

"Oh, everyone should stay here and don't move, in other people's territory, it's better to get less involved in other people's affairs!" The owner explained.

However, sometimes it's true that if you don't look for trouble, things will come to you.

After a while, the original noise was getting closer.

A group of men in the prime of life, each armed with wooden sticks, rushed here.

The man at the head asked, "Who are you?" Where is Ning Zhizhang, and where is Ning Tao? ”

Asking three questions in a row made everyone confused.

Just when there was a stalemate here, an old man came over with a few family members.

"The virtuous nephew can't make a mistake, these are just passers-by who come to shelter from the rain, what is the matter with the virtuous nephew who comes directly to the old man!"

"Ning Zhizhang, you are finally willing to come out, what about your son Ning Tao? Is it hiding in the house as a turtle with a shrunken head, and you don't dare to come out? The man in the lead shouted.

"Tao'er is still looking for peonies outside, and she hasn't been drinking for a day and a night!" The old man replied helplessly.

"Don't pretend, your family has always looked down on us who are small families, and have always looked down on peonies. I stammered very much about that little concubine, I think, the peony was hidden by you, maybe you killed it directly! ”

"What are you talking about? You are responsible for what you say! The old man was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

The owner of the ship walked over, bowed to the old man and asked, "Outsiders shouldn't have asked about your mansion, but our group of people are very grateful to Master Ning for taking him in, if you have anything to help, please ask directly." ”

The old man was uneasy, glanced at the owner of the ship, and just politely replied: "Thank you for your kindness, the old man can handle the affairs of this mansion himself!" ”

Obviously, this Master Ning is a scholar and has a good face. Adhering to the principle of family ugliness and not outfield, he is unwilling to let outsiders interfere.

However, the man with the stick before became even more arrogant, pulled the owner of the boat and said, "Come on, come on, this brother, you will judge!" My cousin Peony married into their Ning family, and she was still good, and she and Ning Gongzi were also husband and wife. It's this old thing, who climbed the power and attached the nobles, and gave his son the daughter of the patriarch as a second room. We are all small families, how can we compare with the head of the family, since then, my cousin has not had a good life in his house, and their whole family bullied her. After yesterday's Kao Festival, my cousin disappeared, and I haven't found her yet, so they must have killed her! ”

"You...... It's just vexatious! "The old man was very angry but helpless, there was a sense of 'show talent meets soldiers, and politeness can't be explained'.

"Maybe, Miss Peony just went to a relative's house or something, everyone don't get angry first, sit down and talk about it!" Yu Heng also stepped forward to mediate.

"Say anything, but I can't find anyone after searching for everything. Boy, I'm telling you, you'd better not get into trouble! The man with the stick came over viciously and pushed Yu Heng.

Yuan Feng next to him pulled out his sword with a 'whoosh'.

"Well, you still want to use force, don't you? Brothers, give it to me! ”

The man in charge gave the order, and the other men with sticks rushed up one after another.

"Wait a minute!" It was Ru Yan's voice, "I can find the peony!" ”

Everyone else was stunned.

"Why should I believe you!" The man in charge asked.

"Why? Let me tell you that my brother is a hand-appointed inspector of the imperial court today! "The fast-talking hazy moon has already been registered.

The others let out bursts of exclamation and discussion.

"The Inspector of the Present Days...... Writing! Ru Yan hurriedly answered.

"Cut!" The man at the head glanced at her disdainfully, "What kind of official do you think you are, a little white face, you're afraid of killing chickens, what's the matter!" ”

"Although I am a writer, I often follow the side of adults, and I have grown a lot of knowledge, and I often copy case files for adults, and I have seen many cases, so I naturally have a little experience!"

The owner of the ship said to Ning Zhizhang: "Master Ning, why don't you let this little brother give it a try, although he is young, there is nothing to lose by letting him try, right?" ”

Ning Zhizhang neither agreed nor objected.

"Good! So what do you think you should do if you don't find it? ”

"Eh, why are you so unreasonable, my brother is here to help, okay?" Hazy Moon said.

"I don't care, if you can't find the peony within three days, you kid will kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and then get out!" The man at the head said brutally.

"Okay, but if I find it, I won't say anything else, our ship may not be repaired for a while, and you will cover all the food and accommodation of our people during this period!" Ru Yan agreed.

"Oh, even if you don't help with this, you can eat and stay here!" He Zhizhang replied.

"It's okay, it's more convenient to understand the situation by living in Ning's house!" , Ru Yan thought to herself. Then he said: "Then trouble Master Ning!" ”

"You're welcome!"

Just as they were politely courteous, the man in charge said, "Let's go!" Then he took the others and went away.

When others were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the man turned back to Ru Yan and said, "Little white face, remember, three days, yesterday, today, tomorrow!" I'll come back tomorrow night! ”

"Eh, how do you calculate, is that how three days are counted?" Hazy Moon protested dissatisfiedly.

The others also booed, expressing their dissatisfaction.

The man returned and said, "What? Disagree? ”

Yuan Feng was about to draw his sword again, but was held down by Yu Heng with one hand.

Ru Yan waved her hand to appease the restless crowd, and said to the man: "Okay, a word is a deal!" ”
