The ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhou family who berthed in Huiluan Bay at night did not eat the Xize fish that Xu Ne fished.

The Shengping, who came to the bay one step earlier, was about to drive the all-fish night banquet, and the Zhou family's boat crashed into it as if it was discussing.

It's better to meet by chance. Xu Yu was already familiar with Lu Harrier and others, who often ran to ship and escort goods, and he was already familiar with eating and drinking. And Zhou Xian, who had been sitting in the boat for a long time, was also happy to be helped by Xu Ne to go to the shore to move his hands and feet, and listen to the young people talk about the latest new things. Compared with the old lady, the nearly fifty-year-old shopkeeper Gao is also young.

Zhou Manyun had no choice but to be kind and follow Grandpa's side very gently, acting as a small crutch in his hand, not leaving half a step. The old man, who was so angry that he wanted to drink two more lamps, frowned.

A cadre of the Shengping waited until they received a new ship from the Baiheliang Shipyard near the left, and prepared to go to Baoshan. The boat is a private ship, and I don't have the idea of grabbing water business with Shunyi Boat Company, but I just want to be more convenient when I am carrying short-distance groceries at home.

Zhou Manyun, who had been with a small face, listened to the half-real and half-virtual explanation of the shopkeeper and nodded lightly.

A few days ago, Du Xuanshuang had told her some inside information, and the Shengping, which had set up points in nearby counties, was eyeing Yiqing and Baoshan, and wanted to do some small and profitable business there, and in recent years, the Shunyi boat line that has been trained in merchant ships is more suitable for hanging the same signboard and pulling another way to control the waterway from Jize to the north along Fangxi.

In recent years, the merchants who had come to the south had also helped, and had begun to make small moves by inciting fugitives from the towns along the tributaries of the canal to gather their men.

But apparently. The more daring Shengping went a little further. Zhou Manyun's crystal clear eyes glanced at the three or four people sitting in the shadow corner, and his heart was clear.

The men in their prime had hideous scars on the sides of their cheeks. It should have been filed with a knife or burned by fire, if I guessed wrong. These few people who were taken in by the Shengping should be "River People". The canal was built, but just as Gao Wei's father was in charge of the construction of the Xiakou Palace, these people inexplicably changed from farmers who were paid for slaves to slaves who could not see the way forward, and they were still the main group of people who were driven.

"They're their own people." In the dark, Xiao Hong's hand pressed on the green tendons on the back of a scar-faced man's hand, and shouted in a low voice.

The big man lowered his head, and his thick fingers drew messy lines on the ground meaninglessly, hiding the turmoil in his heart.

Zhou Manyun also immediately stopped overdoing it. Like a fawn that runs away when it hears the sound of a bowstring. The Scarface Man's hidden anger and Xiao Hong's explanation, she didn't see or hear it, but just a light touch with Xiao Hong's gaze just now, she understood that he was very dissatisfied with his behavior of looking at people.

After taking a sip of tea soup, Zhou Manyun, who had settled down, couldn't help but be annoyed by the panic just now, and gritted his silver teeth. The habits she had developed in the past eight years seemed to be deep-rooted, and even after all these years, she still didn't need to say much, and she would look at herself.

Looking at the frame last time in Hakuheliang. Xiao Hong should have made up his mind to leave, but somehow he was still stuck in Jiangnan. If it still happens like this, shouldn't it be to find a monk or an old Taoist to write a rune paper of "evil spirits dispersed" to use......

Night was falling. Zhou Manyun stared at the top of the tent with a pair of dark eyes, tossing and turning.

The tents were all out of the Shengping, and the Xize coincided with the 18th National Tide. Except for the two people who happened to come, most of the other boats parked here were the surrounding fishermen's own residences. Originally, the ancestors of the Zhou family thought that they would either live on the boat or find a fisherman to spend the night. But after three times and two clicks, the grandfather who was said to be moved was arranged by the high shopkeeper to live in the camp on the shore. The Shengping was guarded at night, and it seemed to be more stable.

People are stable, but their hearts are not quiet. Zhou Manyun sat up, listened attentively to the movements around, groped and put on a half-worn brown robe, and tiptoed out.

The night breeze blows lightly, and the lake water that laps the shore has a faint muddy smell, and the water surface reflects the shining stars in the night sky. The night sky in spring is not very suitable for stargazing, but Yinyue, who should have only lacked a small horn in the sky, shy hid and stood on the shore of Huiluan Bay.

Zhou Manyun, who was standing alone on the riverbank, looked up at the sky and muttered softly. She followed Xu Ne's study of the poison inheritance and needed to introduce the star Gu into her body, so she naturally had to be familiar with the star map. She also likes to count the stars when she is upset, people's hearts are changeable, and the world is easy to change, but the eternal sky will make people realize their insignificance, and forget about things and me.

"Stargazing is still better in the summer. Participating in the horizontal and oblique, the Milky Way returns home...... In the spring, you can't see the Milky Way, and it's inevitably a little boring. In the darkness, there was a clear sound like a clear spring coming out of the stone, which was lightly sent to Zhou Manyun's ears.

Zhou Manyun was stunned.

Xu Ne taught Man Yun to learn the star map, because she would have known some of it, so it was very easy. Xu Ne was her family history, and the old lady had also mentioned astrology when she was lecturing to her brothers, and when she saw Manyun, she naturally thought that Xu Ne taught well. On both sides, Man Yun was vaguely confused. can be traced back to the source, the first person who taught her stargazing was the young man who was walking towards her step by step from the darkness.

He also taught her a lot in his previous life. He taught her to look at the stars, read maps, discern directions and hours in the wild, and also taught her how to use a dagger to defend herself and kill people. It's a pity that although he taught all the methods of survival, she almost never used it and didn't live......

Zhou Manyun lowered his eyelashes, smiled abruptly, turned around and turned back the way he came.

"Zhou Manyun! You don't have to hide from me! Looking at Man Yun's back when he paused slightly, Xiao Hong said in a deep voice: "Actually, that...... That thing...... My father has replied no. I won't bother you anymore! ”。

That incident was that he wanted to marry Man Yun, and Xiao Rui's reply letter had been sent from Yunzhou, and the meaning of the letter clearly told him to "never think". Of course, Xiao Rui's expression will be more straightforward and vulgar, saying that you kid even wants to raise his father, so he wants to raise a woman, so it is better to die early and be born sooner.

"Hmm!" , Zhou Manyun replied lightly, indicating that he understood.

"My father also sent another letter to Mrs. Zhou, and he should have read it too."

I haven't heard Grandpa mention this, maybe I think this kind of family affair can't even stand the edge. Nothing. Zhou Manyun smiled indifferently and turned around. Faced with someone who didn't want to face again. She was afraid, but she didn't want to lose her momentum. So he raised his voice and said loudly: "This is very good, I don't know when Xiao Gongzi will return to the north?" ”

"When things are done, you have to go. After all, home is in Yunzhou. As if he wanted Man Yun to hear clearly, Xiao Hong took two steps forward as he spoke.

As expected, the little girl on the opposite side took half a step back without a trace before standing still again. Four feet and three inches, Xiao Hong estimated the distance between him and Man Yun and lowered his head. Hiding a soft sigh in his chest.

Morning Glory, the Han Girl of the Bright River. Just as the invisible Milky Way on the spring day has always been there, the two stars on both sides of the river facing each other that are being told by people will never touch each other. Just like the girl in front of her is in the south of the Yangtze River, and she always wants to go back to Yunzhou in the north alone, she originally wanted to go to a different place.

"I'm sorry for the trouble I caused. It's that I'm thinking about it...... There was also a night break into the Tibetan Xiu Tower, at that time, I thought that I would not alarm you because I was good, but I still frightened you. Because I don't know if there is such a chance encounter. Xiao Hong is still very sincere.

"It's not that you're good at it, it's that you never think about what other people will do. Especially the girl's reputation, how have you ever put it in your eyes. Man Yun replied coldly. Anyway, I may not see you again in this life. It's better to say that you are dissatisfied. Not only in this life, but also in the previous life when he broke into the mansion in Shuangqiao Town, Xiakou, it seems that this person who is in the same way always thinks that he is omnipotent. I like to do things on my own and never listen to them.

"I understand. I won't ...... next time". Xiao Hong smiled in response, and swallowed half of his words. Suddenly turned into a sigh: "There will be no next time!"

Man Yun nodded slightly. Even though she has a lot of dissatisfaction with Xiao Hong in her previous life, she still believes that he should be able to do what he says, as long as he doesn't involve love, he can still be regarded as a promise-keeping gentleman.

"I wanted to marry you in the first place, maybe it was because I was poisoned, not only couldn't see my eyes, but also confused my mind!" Seeing that Man Yun's face was slightly pale, Xiao Hong relaxed his body that had been tense and shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"What would have happened if I hadn't poisoned you? When you come that night, you will leave, and then you will steal some random property, and if you have any weapons or other things that are handy, you will also touch them together? Zhou Manyun touched the haze that was still tied to his legs, and softly speculated about what happened to this personal dagger in his previous life.

"Yes!" , Xiao Hong responded simply: "If you didn't put me down, I would naturally go along with something." At that time, I didn't plan to show up to join the Shengping, of course, I want you to do your best to make money. As for...... You had a good dagger to kill a sheep that day, and the knife ......"

Xiao Hong sighed with some regret, feeling sorry for the missing weapon.

Zhou Manyun couldn't help but smile on his face. In his previous life, he took something that belonged to her and gave it to her as a favor, and he actually made her feel grateful for many years, which really makes people not know how to evaluate it.

"Participate in the horizontal fighting, the sky will be clear." , Pointing to the faint starlight between the distant mountains, Xiao Hong reminded Man Yundao in a low voice: "Go back quickly!" ”

Zhou Manyun exclaimed in annoyance, took the corners of his robe, and ran towards his tent with a smoke, leaving only the green young man standing on the shore like a weeping willow to say goodbye, standing lonely and stubborn.

The morning sun was laid diagonally on the deck of the ship, and when the master and Man Yun helped Grandpa to get on the boat and enter the cabin, Xu Yu, who was still on the shore, slowly untied the cable tied to the shore, and the hull and the shore gradually opened the gap, revealing a quiet bend of the water.

The Shengping who was going to Baoshan had not yet set off, and almost all of them gathered around the shore to watch, and when they saw Xu Yu showing off their skills, they immediately held the venue and offered a wave of applause and cheers.

In the sound of farewell, the small passenger boat from the shore floated out three or four feet along the water, and a light blue line lay between the ship and the shore, gradually separating the two sides more and more.

Xiao Hong, who had not slept all night, lowered his head and landed his gaze on the clear water, distracted.

The river is clear and shallow, how much is it different? Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent...... (To be continued......)
