Chapter 43: The Beginning of the Storm

Lin Luo, who was standing at the bow of the boat, looked at Tangguxi who was gradually approaching, with an expressionless face. Lin Xun, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, saw that she was still worried, so she walked over and pretended to be relaxed: "Senior sister, think about it, she still has a longer way to go with us in the future, if she doesn't go through the hardships of a different life, how can she go to Xizhou safely?" ”

Lin Luo shook her head, her face flickered under the flickering lights on the boat, and said softly: "That's different." Now, she is still a young lady in the Tang Mansion, and Mrs. Tang has not promised us. But after that, she won't be ......"

"Hey." I only heard Lin Xun sigh, "Having said that, we are really sorry for the second elder of the Tang family when we do this, they are also well-wishers, otherwise they would not have raised her, let alone let her personality develop." ”

"Why don't I know?" Lin Luo's voice was smeared with a trace of sadness, "It's just that in life, there are too many bodies that can't help themselves." I can't stand the two elders, and I can only pay them back in the next life......"

Lin Xun still wanted to speak, but when he saw that Tang Guxi had already come over, he coughed lightly twice and walked over with a smile. Seeing this, Lin Luo's expression moved slightly, but he still didn't say a word, turned around and walked into the canopy.

Tang Guxi couldn't help but feel a little lost when she saw Lin Luo walking away when she saw her, but when she thought that she could follow them away now, her joy was still overflowing, so she walked down without care. After standing at the bow of the boat, the boatman untied the rope, and saw that the stern of the boat shook slightly, carrying a group of people and all the goods, and slowly left the dock on the river in the night.

Lin Xun stood in front of Tang Guxi and teased: "Miss Tang is used to living a fine and soft life, following us, not only can't eat and sleep well, has no maids and no parents, but also may be physically injured...... Miss Tang, are you ready? ”

Tang Guxi chuckled, put his hands behind his back and said, "You don't underestimate people, I can still bear the suffering you can bear!" ”

"Haha, hearing what Miss said, then I'll be relieved! It's just that Miss don't talk big, it's nice to say it now, in case the time comes......"

"You!" Tang Guxi stretched out his finger in front of him, looking at his smug smile, he didn't know what to say.

"Haha, don't be angry, Miss, let's go in. Dew heavily in the middle of the night, beware of the cold. Lin Xun stretched out his hand and pointed to the canopy, please.

Tang Guxi retracted his gaze, sneered, and walked towards the tent, "Aren't you very good at talking, I thought you would only hurt people!" ”

"Miss, don't worry, I haven't finished my sentence yet." Lin Xun suddenly picked up and said, "If Miss suffers from the cold, then we will have one more trouble, and we really can't afford it......"

"Don't worry, Miss Ben is not that weak!" Tang Guxi's face was flushed with anger, he glared at him viciously, and then lifted the curtain and walked in.

After the curtain was lowered, Lin Xun put away his smile and turned around to look around at the surrounding river scenery, although it was night, he could still roughly see the surrounding scenery. Then he let out a long yawn, and glanced at the boatman, who was standing on the bow of the boat, short in stature, but strong in his muscles, paddling slowly and slowly.

Lin Xun stepped forward and asked, "Big brother, may I ask, how long will it take for us to land?" ”

"It's probably going to be noon tomorrow."

"Ah...... So long. Lin Xun yawned again and sat down.

"Since the guest officer is so sleepy, why don't you go to sleep?"

Lin Xun chuckled, glanced at the faint light of the canopy, and said, "There are too many people inside, it's not as spacious as outside, I'll just sit for a while, and it's okay if I don't sleep...... Besides, look at the big brother, you are rowing here alone, and I will come out to chat with you, isn't it just right? ”

The boatman smiled innocently and said, "Childe is really a good man!" ”

"Good guys?" Lin Xun lowered his eyes, looked at the black river with a glimmer of light under his feet, and said softly, "Is there any difference between good people and bad people in the world?" ”

"Of course there is a difference, it's just ...... Why did Childe say this? ”

Lin Xun didn't answer him, and after a long time, he said, "However, bad people can also do good things, and good people can also do bad things." Isn't it? He seemed to be asking him, and he was talking to himself.

The night is as cool as water, and the sound of the water below the hull of the boat is murmuring, quietly echoing above the river. Soon after, Lin Xun also lowered his head and gradually fell asleep.

But it was said that after Tang Guxi entered the canopy, I saw these five big and three thick men lying on the ground and playing, and a few of them were not asleep, but they were also listless, as if they didn't see her. Tang Guxi was stunned at first, this kind of sleeping with others has indeed not been experienced since he was a child, could it be that Lin Shaoxia said it? She's backing down?

No, thinking of his expression of making fun of her just now, Tang Guxi was angry, this is just the beginning, he must not be despised and teased! So she reinvigorated, took a deep breath, and walked towards the slightly more spacious corner inside. During this time, he had to step over the bodies of many people, coupled with the height of the canopy itself, Tang Guxi had to carefully bend over and step over, for fear of accidentally stepping on others.

When he was about to walk to that corner, he heard a whisper from Huang Jiang from a direction behind him: "Miss Tang, take care of it, we Jianghu people are so casual and vulgar, please don't be surprised." ”

The sound of the Yellow River was not loud, but in this very quiet canopy, no matter how faint the sound was, it seemed deafening. Tang Guxi's chest was slightly startled, and he thought to himself, looking at this person who called himself the eldest brother, who was five big and three rough, rough and arrogant, at this time, he seemed to be careful, and he couldn't help but secretly admire a little in his heart.

"The eldest brother is too worried, how can the little girl be strange?" After saying that, Tang Guxi smiled slightly, and found the gap by the light above his head, and then sat down.

The ship swayed, the lights were extinguished, and there was only darkness left around. Due to the small place and the miscellaneous people, Tangguxi was very sober for a while, and he was not sleepy.

I don't know how long she sat there, but just when she was about to fall asleep, she only heard a noise next to her, she raised her eyelids slightly, and vaguely saw a person walking out. I saw the curtain flicker, and the light in the river appeared slightly, and then the curtain fell, and the light disappeared immediately.

She only thought that someone had gone out to breathe, and she was tired and unbearable at this time, so she fell asleep.

When it was slightly light the next day, Lin Xun woke up from the wooden plank on the bow of the boat, walked towards the canopy with his eyes blurred, and muttered: "I was bitten by mosquitoes all over last night, and my whole body was covered with ......" As soon as he said this, he stopped, because he found that the boat was moored on a shore, and the hull of the boat was still swaying slowly, but the boatman was gone.

"Xun'er." A familiar voice came from the stern.

Lin Xun looked up and found Lin Luo standing opposite, and Lin Luo raised his hand to let him pass. But if you want to get there, you have to go through the canopy, and now the canopy is full of people who are sleeping soundly, and it will disturb them to pass through. After struggling for a moment, Lin Xun had no choice but to sigh, take a step back, and as soon as his legs exerted his strength, he flew over from the top of the canopy, stepped on the canopy twice with his feet like dragonflies touching water, and landed on the opposite side of the boat in the blink of an eye.

"Sister, what's the matter, the boatman?" Lin Xun looked nervous.

"Don't worry, the boatman is sleeping."

"Sleeping?" Lin Xun showed an exaggerated expression, "How can the boatman go to sleep?" Otherwise, what should we do if we miss our time? ”

I saw Lin Luo shook his head, his eyes were a little withdrawn and dazed, staring at the water and said, "We shouldn't be in a hurry, it would be good if we set off during the day." ”

"Isn't there no way, we have so many things, and that box, it is very valuable at first glance, isn't it too eye-catching to set off during the day? The boatman said last night that he slept all day, just to rush the night, why did he say that he would go to sleep now? Lin Xun glanced inside the tent, a little dissatisfied for a while.

"The boatman is also a human being, and he can't sleep all day in order to make a living, he just doesn't want you to worry about it." Lin Luo's eyes still didn't look at him, but he just looked around intentionally or unintentionally.

"Sister?" Lin Xun found the clue and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?" ”

This time, Lin Luo did not reply to him, but turned around, took a step forward, stood at the stern of the boat, and observed the surrounding scenery more closely. Seeing this, Lin Xun also stepped forward, stood next to her, and looked around together.

"It's nothing, not even a figure, isn't the scenery on the shore the same?" After watching it for a long time, Lin Xun still didn't see anything, and after saying that, he yawned and was about to turn around and go back.

"Don't you think," Lin Luo's voice suddenly sounded, the tone of his voice was no different from before, but the weight was obviously different, "Are we going in the opposite direction?" ”

"What!" Hearing this, Lin Xun didn't have time to spit out the yawn, hurriedly turned around and came back to the stern of the boat again, stared at the surrounding scenery again, and still couldn't see the difference, so he said in disbelief, "No...... How can you tell? I see that this radius is like this for dozens of miles, except for the trees and grass, there is not even a directional sign. As long as you don't make a mistake in the first place, you can't go wrong. ”

Lin Luo didn't speak, just shook his head slightly suspiciously.

"You must be wrong, don't think too much...... By the way, when did you wake up and how could you be outside? Lin Xun then remembered that it was only the beginning of the hour, and there was just a faint light on the horizon, and even the sun had not yet come out.

Lin Luo turned his head, glanced at him, and said, "I came out a long time ago, but it's you, how can you sleep outside?" ”

"I was chatting with the boatman, and I accidentally fell asleep......" Lin Xun scratched his head, tilted his head and smiled.

As he was talking, a person suddenly walked out of the canopy, the two turned around, and saw Huang Jiang walking out, seeing the two of them standing in front of him, Huang Jiang looked surprised and asked, "Why did you wake up so early?" ”

"Can't you wake up so early? If I don't get up again, I'm going to be bitten to death by mosquitoes! You poured the water very fragrantly, and the snoring didn't stop all night......" Lin Xun complained, Huang Jiang was stunned for a while, and after seeing the large and small red envelopes in his hand, he realized that he was sleeping outside, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Brother Huang, do you have a compass in your hand?" Lin Luo stepped forward and got straight to the point.

Huang Jiang was stunned again, looked at Lin Luo and said, "The woman wants to ......"

"It's good if you say yes or no, my sister asked you for a reason." Lin Xun said, "If you have it, take it out quickly, you need to take a look at it now." But I want to ...... You should have one, right? If you don't have a compass, it's hard to say......" As he spoke, Lin Xun raised his eyebrows slowly, his tone full of doubt and disdain.

Huang Jiang said loudly: "Of course there is!" It's just that...... It's not in my hands now, it's in Wusheng's. If you need it, I'll fetch it. ”

Seeing Lin Luo nodded, Huang Jiang turned around and entered the tent again. After a while, he and Wu Sheng came out one after another, Wu Sheng was holding a coarse cloth bag in his hand, and after standing in front of the two, he looked at them with a solemn face and hesitated slightly.

"Hurry up and open it!" Lin Xun said urgently.

Wu Sheng lowered his eyes and cast his eyes on the thing in his hand, and when he opened it, it was really a compass inside.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, his expression was a little serious, Wu Sheng didn't say much, and turned around slightly with the turntable, due to the imbalance in his hand, the pointer was also swaying from side to side, not sure. The four of them stared at the pointer on the turntable, and as Wusheng rotated, the pointer on it also changed direction and stabilized.

It wasn't until Takeshi turned in the direction of the bow of the ship that the pointer shook a few more times and stopped.

The four of them looked up sharply, their faces clouded, and they were sure that the boat was going in the wrong direction......
