Chapter 370: My Sister Is Gone
The boat lady looked at the woman who came up silently, and was very surprised, and the husband and wife looked at each other for a while, and they both felt that this woman was a little abnormal. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info boatman was silent and pushed the boat away from the riverbank, the water murmured, the light and shadow flowed, and the boat sailed away from the shore.
"Girl, come in and sit, it's cold outside." The boat lady lifted the curtain with one hand and poked her head out to look at her, and the faint candlelight flickered in the black pen, which was unusually dim, but very warm.
On this cold and lonely river, this small boat brings a little warmth, and the lights in the boat add a lot of comfort to this warmth. It seems that in that small and cramped dim space, there will never be accidents, no cold, no betrayal, no separation. Who can say that this fisherman and his wife living on the river are not the happiest people in the world?
Tang Guxi's face did not move, without saying a word, he bent down and walked into the canopy. When the curtain was lowered, a cool breeze came in, causing the candle flame in the tent to shake a few times, and then return to stability. Tang Guxi sat down, surrounded by a warm atmosphere, and then found that there was a girl sitting opposite.
The girl, dressed in coarse cotton clothes, looked like she was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with dark skin and ruddy and strong, and when she saw her come in, she looked straight at her.
Tang Guxi's face was gloomy, and his eyes stared at the flickering candle flame motionless for a long time. In the heart of the candle flame dancing and shining, she saw a firelight, and heard a chaotic sound of iron hooves in her ears, and in the wolf smoke of war, blood flowed like a river, and the dead and wounded were everywhere......
The whole army was wiped out, and there was no life left?
How is this possible!
What about the General's Palace? What about General Qi Zhao and General Sima? They were also killed by Qiao Bing? Also died in the war?
Now it sounds like a fantasy, and it's really a funny joke......
The dignified Wu Ben army, the five countries have prestige, Liang Yu has prospered for many years because of the existence of Wu Ben, who in the world mentions Liang Yu, and the Wu Ben army of the Qi family is frightened? The sweat elites, just an ordinary expedition, and the whole army was wiped out? Hundreds of thousands of people, just gone?
There must be something strange in the matter!
"Sister, do you want water?" The girl stretched out her arm, held a bowl of hot water in her hand, and handed it to Tang Guxi.
Tang Guxi's thoughts were disturbed, and when he heard this, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes turned slightly, slowly moving to the girl's face, staring at her without moving.
The girl was looked at strangely by her, but she was not restrained, and stretched out her hand again, and said firmly: "Water." She looked down and motioned to Tang Guxi.
The boat lady caught a glimpse and said with a smile: "The girl has been standing on the shore for so long, her body should be tired, eat some hot water, warm up." ”
Tang Guxi pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing an extremely difficult and dry smile, she looked at the boat lady in a daze, her eyes were bright and soft, as clear and innocent as a newborn, without impurities.
In the dim candlelight, I saw her sitting quietly, her arms around her knees, her face was tranquil, with an indisputable atmosphere, and her face was white and bright in a water-red dress. In the dark eyes, the candlelight flickered and flickered, crystal like a jade carving.
"Mother." The girl withdrew her hand and turned to look at her mother, a little dazed.
The boat lady looked at her form, her face became more and more solemn, she stretched her neck and looked at Tang Guxi for a moment, frowned and thought, "Could it be a deaf person?" ”
"But deaf people are not stupid, there will always be a reaction. This sister didn't seem to move, as if she was stupid. ”
"Don't talk nonsense......"
"Mother, she shouldn't be a fool, why did you pick her up?"
The boat lady glared at her with disgust, her eyes returned to Tang Guxi's face, she was a little more surprised, moved her body inside, sat down against Tang Guxi, and patted her arm, "Girl, girl, you tell the eldest mother, where are you going by boat?" Do you have silver on you? ”
Tang Guxi retracted his gaze, his eyes lowered, his head lowered slightly, and he was silent.
"Girl, where are you going?" The boatlady's voice was a little louder, close to her ear, and she was really deaf.
"Mother, I don't think it's better to ask, when the next ferry port comes, I'll send this sister down. But here's how she ...... Can you find a home? ”
As soon as he heard that they were going to send her down, Tang Guxi trembled, his sluggish face finally loosened, he looked at the boat girl with an uneasy expression, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hugged his arms and legs tighter.
Seeing this, the boat lady seemed to be stabbed in her heart, and for a moment her heart was soft-hearted and kind, and she was moved by compassion and warmth. Smiled and stretched out his hand and held Tang Guxi's hand, "It turns out that he is not deaf...... Don't be afraid, girl, stay on the boat if you want, I won't drive you away. It's just, I don't know where your home is? But what grievances have you suffered? ”
Controlled by the warm hand of the boat lady, Tang Guxi was full of warmth, she looked down at the boat lady's hand, and then looked up at the boat lady's face, and unconsciously, tears fell down.
The boat lady and the girl looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
"Girl, you ......"
Before she could say a word, she saw the woman withdraw her hand from her hand, bow her head and say nothing, looking for something at her waist. Tears were still pouring down on her face, and her crying face was extremely sad and grief-stricken, which made people look moved, but she didn't say a word, without a sound.
In a moment, she had one more thing in her hand - a jade pendant tied with a red tasseled ribbon. Under the candlelight, it is a little difficult to see, but at first glance it is the best of the best, and the workmanship and jade quality are extraordinary. However, in the corner of the jade pendant, there seemed to be some blue and stains.
She held the jade pendant in both hands and placed it on her lap as if she were holding a priceless treasure, her eyes still staring at it blankly, but the tears in her eyes were falling silently. She tried her best not to make a sound, but the whimpering sound in her throat still floated out intermittently, light and subtle.
"Girl......"
"Sister......
Tang Guxi was stunned, and after crying for a long time, he unconsciously tilted his head and fell asleep on the shoulder of the boat lady. The boat lady didn't know if she was really asleep or closed her eyes to recuperate, so she had to sit still carefully, while her heart was beating and panicking.
This scene was so strange that the mother and daughter in the tent were surprised, but fortunately, they were both kind and simple people, and they did not have the heart to drive away. The girl was silent for a moment, then took out a coat and put it over her.
The night was deep, and the boat had drifted somewhere, and the boatman had already come in, resting and napping in the corner. The candle flame in the tent was about to burn out, and the flame was slender, constantly shaking the candlelight on everyone's face. The sound of instrumental music and noise wafting in the distance also dropped a little.
"Mother, mother, wake up."
The boatlady opened her sleepy eyes and saw her daughter in front of her, shaking her arm and whispering softly.
"How?"
"My sister is gone." The girl pointed to her side, looking anxious.
The boat lady turned her head to see that there was no one, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly lifted the curtain, but found that there was no one at the stern.
She was stunned for a moment, put down the curtain and climbed to the other end, the boatman was awakened, and saw that there was no one in the boat, so he was naturally clear, and without waiting for her to crawl, he lifted the curtain on the bow of the boat with one hand.
When the three of them looked, Tang Guxi was standing on the bow of the boat, with his back to them, looking at the ethereal and empty river in the night, without saying a word.
The boat lady breathed a sigh of relief, but she hung her heart: she was crying like that just now, she must have been stimulated, standing at the bow of the boat at this moment, should she ......
Before I could finish thinking about it, I felt that the figure in front of me flickered, and my body suddenly fell downward, and I fell into the river with a "plop"! (To be continued.) )
