Chapter 43 Jiangnan Water Town
As soon as the sky was bright, the first drop of dew in the morning woke up Yun Shaoqing. He opened his eyes and saw that none of the others had woken up, so he didn't bother them, but got up and walked around.
Hearing the movement, Wen Jingxuan also woke up, and he saw Yun Shaoqing standing alone in the woods, and also walked over.
Su Yingxue also woke up when she heard the sound, she opened her eyes and saw Chu Fei'er who was sleeping soundly on top of her, and gently pushed her with her hand.
She didn't react, Su Yingxue had to wake her up: "Fei'er, wake up, we're going to continue on our way!" β
Chu Fei'er woke up in a daze, rubbed her eyes and said, "It's already dawn?" β
"Are you all awake? Did I disturb you? β
Yun Shaoqing saw that they woke up and walked back.
"Huh? No no! It's still important to hurry! β
Chu Fei'er was refreshed after she woke up.
"Where's Bai Ling?"
Su Yingxue looked up at the little fox on the tree.
Bai Ling was sleeping soundly, and he wanted to turn over, but suddenly felt that his body was falling rapidly.
"Ahh
Bai Ling fell from the tree to the ground, and was immediately woken up by the pain, and stood up without a trace of sleepiness, jumping around in place: "Oops! It hurts! β
Several other people were speechless when they saw that Bai Ling could wake up even from sleeping.
After entering the city, everyone walked in the small town of Jiangnan Water Town, and the mood was different from when they were in other cities.
The Jiangnan area is indeed a well-known water town, the only means of transportation here is small boats, and the only bridges on the water for people to walk on are of different shapes and different buildings.
Green mountains and green waters, fresh breezes and willows, quiet towns, make people feel refreshed.
Almost every bridge has a stall man, and all the stalls are selling the same thing - lotus lanterns.
Strangely, the street is full of stalls selling lotus lanterns, but there are very few customers and pedestrians on the road.
"This lotus lamp is so beautiful! Is there a lantern festival here? β
Chu Fei'er stayed at a stall of an uncle who sold lotus lanterns, holding a pink lotus lantern in his hand, feeling that this place was like Chang'an, and for Chu Fei'er, there was a sense of familiarity.
Seeing Chu Fei'er stop in front of the stall, the other people also stayed there to look at the lotus lanterns, and the uncle who sold the lotus lanterns told them: "A few guests are from out of town, right?" You don't know, we have a lantern festival here every year, and this year's lantern festival will be three days later! β
"Looks like we'll be able to catch a lantern festival!"
Chu Fei'er suddenly became interested as soon as she heard the lantern festival, "This is the custom of Chang'an City, I also let go of a lotus lantern when I was in Chang'an this year, but unfortunately, it rained that day, and the lotus lantern was extinguished by the rain." However, my wish came true! β
When Chu Fei'er said this, she couldn't help but think of the scene when she first saw Yun Shaoqing, it was Yun Shaoqing who rescued her from the water.
"Huh? So what is your wish? What about the spirit? β
Bai Ling's interest was aroused by Chu Fei'er.
"My wish is: I hope that one day I can become a disciple of Tianling Mountain!"
Chu Fei'er looked at Yun Shaoqing, and then asked him, "Do you remember?" It was the first time we met, I accidentally fell into the water, and it was you who saved me! β
Yun Shaoqing also remembered that his master sent him down the mountain to practice, and he was standing alone on the bridge in the rain.
Suddenly, he heard someone shouting for help, he rushed to the water, and took Chu Fei'er out of the water and flew to the bridge.
Although Yun Shaoqing remembered, he ignored Chu Fei'er, and there was no expression on his face.
Wen Jingxuan, who had been silent, discovered the peculiarity of this town, so he asked the uncle suspiciously: "Uncle, lotus lanterns are sold everywhere here, and the lantern festival is close to it, so it stands to reason that there should be a lot of people buying lotus lanterns, right?" But now it seems that not only that, but there are very few people who buy lamps, why is this? β
"Childe, let's be honest, business has not been good in the past few years, because there are not many people who put lotus lanterns!"
A trace of worry and helplessness appeared on the uncle's face, as if there was something unspeakable.
"Why are there not many people who put lotus lanterns anymore?"
Su Yingxue felt strange, and asked everyone with a lot of doubts.
"The lantern festival is an annual custom here for us, and at this time of year, people from every household buy lotus lanterns and make wishes. Three years ago, when the people were putting lotus lanterns by the river, several people accidentally fell into the river. The people on the shore were panicked, and some people went to the river to fish, but not only did the people in the water not catch it, but even the people who salvaged fell into the river. Everyone said that there were water ghosts in the water, and no one dared to approach the water's edge again, and even the people who crossed the bridge were cautious, for fear of alarming the water ghosts and falling into the river. This is still the case with the people who walk, let alone the people who buy the lamps! β
The uncle explained to them.
"Hahahaha!"
Chu Fei'er burst into laughter after hearing this, laughing so much that she couldn't even speak.
"Why is this girl laughing?"
The uncle asked puzzledly, besides, she smiled too exaggeratedly.
"This uncle, she didn't take medicine when she went out today, I'm sorry, I made you smile!"
Bai Ling stopped Chu Fei'er while explaining, telling her not to laugh, but she laughed even more exaggeratedly, and even Yun Shaoqing and Wen Jingxuan were speechless to her.
After Chu Fei'er had laughed enough, she pointed at Su Yingxue and said, "Do you know?" The first time I saw Su Yingxue, she came out of the water, and I thought of her as a water ghost! β
Chu Fei'er laughed for a long time, just remembering this incident, which made everyone unanimously think that she was a special idiot.
"Are you naΓ―ve? Laugh like an idiot! As for it? β
Su Yingxue was speechless when she saw her such an exaggerated performance.
"You actually think Sakurayuki is a water ghost?"
Bai Ling felt really incredible, you must know that Su Yingxue has always been the image of a perfect fairy sister in Bai Ling's impression, and it was really hard for her to imagine the appearance described by Chu Fei'er, "Chu Fei'er, you really don't look like an idiot, you are an idiot at all!" I just said that you didn't take medicine when you went out, I apologize to you, you obviously took too much medicine! β
"Bai Ling, what did you say? Didn't you go to the house for three days? β
Chu Fei'er said disdainfully.
"What's wrong with me? I didn't uncover your tile! β
Bai Ling didn't bother to pay attention to her.
"Alright, let's get down to business!"
Yun Shaoqing led the topic of pulling them away from the right path again, "Uncle, you said that everyone suspects that there are water ghosts in the water, but has anyone seen it?" β
"It's too late to hide from the water's edge, how can anyone see it?"
Obviously, the uncle also believes that there are water ghosts.
"In my opinion, which monster is endangering the people, right?"
Wen Jingxuan guessed.
"Youkai?"
The uncle was skeptical, looked at them carefully and said, "The two sons seem to be people who walk the rivers and lakes, can you catch demons?" β
"We are here to solve the difficulties of the people, and since we are here, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and protect the safety of the people!"
Where Yun Shaoqing is, he will never allow ** harm to the common people, otherwise, he will definitely seek justice for the common people in the world!
"Senior brother, let's go to the inn first and then make plans!"
Wen Jingxuan said.
"Okay, let's go!"
Yun Shaoqing and the group walked forward, looking for an inn to settle in.
After seeing them go away, the uncle also sighed silently: I hope they can really help us solve the difficulties.
