Chapter 175 Going ashore
Needless to say, it was impossible for Li Xie and Cao Ying not to notice such a big movement of a big living person floating out of the water, so the moment they noticed it, they both looked back at the person who emerged from the water at the same time.
I saw that the person who came was Ah Da, but after Ah Da emerged from the water, he was also stunned when he looked at the intimate posture of the two.
Sanyuan and six eyes, just staring at such a very strange big eye, were silent for a while. In the end, it was Ah Da who was the first to speak, and after seeing him cough dryly:
"Why don't I leave for a while?"
When Ah Da and Li Xie were lurking in the barracks from Dragon Canyon, they felt that Cao Ying and Li Xie were not simply sisters and brothers. But he really couldn't imagine that the relationship between the two had become close enough that they could hug each other without scruples in broad daylight.
In the era when blind dates all relied on the matchmaker's mouth, it was really rare for the relationship to be so good that they could blatantly hug each other in broad daylight. And ordinary old masters usually come to the same sentence when they see this situation: "The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient!" ”
Ah Da didn't say that it was okay, this statement startled both Li Xie and Cao Ying, out of shy instinct, Li Xie immediately let go of his hand. Cao Ying even changed her hug to push, and left Li Xie's arms directly.
But it is clear that the two people in the panic did not think much about the outside world. People who can't swim in this river will choke on water every minute once they leave the floats. So the result is obvious, Cao Ying has not left the distance of Li Xie's hand due to the resistance of the water.
Man was drawn to the center of the earth by the power of the earth, and he sank into the water. And in the midst of the exclamation, she was instinctively taking a deep breath.
Good guy, this saliva choked, so I didn't get her to call her directly. As soon as this saliva enters the nose, it is a matter of life and death, and Cao Ying can no longer care about being shy or not.
First of all, he had to grab Li Xie's neck and pull himself hard towards Li Xie. Because the choking water is more serious this time, the force used is also greater, and when the two just hugged each other, the position was very accurate: it happened to be the mouth-to-mouth face-to-face position.
Cao Ying pulled herself hard towards Li Xie, and then the two collided together. This time the force of pulling is the force directly opposite, not like just turning around. So as a result, the two of them collided directly with each other this time, and even their mouths collided together.
Of course, since the nose is the most prominent place, it must be the nose that bumps into each other first. Many people know that after a trauma to the nose, the whole face will be wrinkled and the mouth will be slightly opened. And then the rest of the picture is not described.
When Ah Da saw this scene, he was really scared. He has been an orphan since he was a child, he has been trained by Zang Feng since he was sensible, he has seen many, many things, and learned the relative way to deal with these many, many things.
But they were hiding in the shadows, and they really didn't accept anything about men and women. Suddenly seeing this scene, it stimulated him! plunged headlong into the water, and swam away on the side that was the first to say goodnight.
Li Xie and Cao Ying were so negative that they stared at each other in shock for a while. Cao Ying is a girl after all, and her shy instinct makes her react before Li Xie. However, due to the embarrassment of sinking into the water as soon as Li Xie was pushed away one after another, this time Cao Ying was shrewd.
She first grabbed the big pillar next to her, and then pushed Li Xie away. Li Xie used brute force to break off a large pillar from the ship, which was actually more than two meters long. When the two of them were just now, they were always in the middle of the pillar.
At this time, Cao Ying pushed, and Li Xie also floated backwards and came to the end of the pillar.
Although the two of them separated for the time being, it seemed that neither of them had any intention of swimming to the shore, so they just floated in the river.
After a long moment, the two of them looked at each other, and they both saw each other's broken lips. This was embarrassing at first glance, and then they all thought this thing was particularly funny, but Cao Ying was the first to laugh.
Laughing and laughing, somehow, the awkward atmosphere between the two disappeared without a trace.
"Alright, let's go ashore first. Time was tight, so we had to hurry to the nearest pier to see if there was a boat for us. ”
Although Li Xie only bowed the corners of his mouth slightly, only he knew how happy he was in reality. Li Xie originally had a certain meaning for Cao Ying, but this time the accident was caught off guard, and there was such contact between the two people, and Li Xie's inner joy was really not enough for outsiders.
After the two finally got ashore, Ah Da had already disappeared. However, Li Xie did not go to him, Li Xie knew that Ah Da must have been hiding in the shadows at this time. And he will definitely follow him silently not far away, and will never leave.
And even when the two of them were in the same boat, Li Xie couldn't see Ah Da, let alone be on the shore now. If it weren't for something, Li Xie believed that Ah Da could always hide in the shadows and never appear in the wilderness.
But even if he knew this, Li Xie still pretended to look around, and no matter how he watched, he always left the back of his head to Cao Ying so coincidentally.
"Why don't we follow the direction of the river and keep looking down, so we can always find the dock." Cao Ying looked around, although she had been here before, and she also lived not far from here. I once encountered this group of water bandits, and it was best to flee to the shore in embarrassment, but now I look at these terrains that have changed. Cao Ying really didn't recognize what kind of place this was, so she came up with a solution that was not a solution.
Brother Twenty said that the water bandits appeared in the vicinity of Dongling County. Therefore, we should be near Dongling City, and the nearest wharf to Dongling County is also thirty miles away, although it is not difficult to get there. But it must also be late at night, and there is no need. If I remember it well......"
When Li Xie said this, he turned around, his eyes flickered, and he quickly turned around again, facing the woods on the bank of the river, and pointed in the direction of the woods: "This should be the Donghewu forest marked on the map, not far from the woods, there is a small county town to rest there for a night, and then buy two horses to go to the dock!" ”
Cao Ying glanced at Li Xie in surprise, she felt that if she remembered correctly, her junior brother should have only glanced at the map when she set off. If he hadn't studied the map carefully in his room for the next few days, then it would have been said that he had memorized the map of conquest just by looking at it?
Thinking of this, Cao Ying was a little frightened, such a big map. There are so many names of places densely marked on it, as well as the bifurcation of the route, just by looking at it for a while, she remembered the map of the battle uniform, and she felt terrifying when she thought about it, she would rather believe that her junior brother's life on the ship was extremely boring, and she studied the map specifically.
Although it is urgent to save his younger brother, it is not so urgent. Besides, now, the two of them are soaked all over, and all the things on their bodies have sunk into the river, so they should really find a place to repair it.
Li Xie saw Cao Ying nodding in agreement, but he didn't say anything, and rushed into the woods impatiently. Cao Ying looked at Li Xie's back quite puzzled, thinking that Li Xie was in a hurry, so she ran into the woods.
So seeing this scene, Cao Ying also slowed down her pace very understandingly. It was only around 4:00 p.m., and the sun was in the west, but it was full of light. Cao Ying's hand happened to be walking in the direction of the east, so as she walked, she unconsciously saw the elongated shadow on the floor that was illuminated by the sun.
There was nothing strange about the shadow, but it was as if it was undressed. Cao Ying glanced at the shadow on the ground, and then at the shadow on the ground. Then he reacted and looked down at himself.
Although summer is coming to an end, autumn feels like it is coming, and in previous years the weather has reached the time when the day is hot and the night is cold. However, this year is different from previous years, the weather has begun to turn cooler, and this time gives people the feeling that it is really hot.
In addition, she was in a hurry when she came out, and Cao Ying just hurriedly told her parents, packed up some soft and casual, picked up two clothes and came out. At this time, the dress she was wearing, although it was not tulle, was really thin.
At this time, after a soak in the river, it was tightly attached to the body. So at this time, Cao Ying's exquisite figure is fully displayed. Cao Ying covered her forehead in annoyance, but surprisingly she didn't feel angry, some were just shy and distressed.
Cao Ying didn't know what it meant that she was just shy after being looked at now, she only knew that this time she was embarrassed. hurriedly transported the qi in his body, and between exhaling his strength, the excess water on his clothes was shaken out.
Although I couldn't get the clothes off my body completely, I didn't stick to my body anymore. After doing this, Cao Ying took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to pretend to be calm, and walked in the direction of the woods.
Cao Ying wasn't worried about not being able to find Li Xie, she felt that her junior brother should be waiting for her not far away. Sure enough, after entering the woods, he walked in for a while, and Li Xie was waiting quietly in front.
Li Xie didn't say anything, and Cao Ying didn't say anything either. The two of them just looked at each other and then moved away, and Li Xie took the lead and hurried in a specific direction.
It turns out that Li Xie's memory is still very good, even in this unfamiliar place, the map that Li Xie remembered in his mind still made him run directly to his purpose.
Because both of them have cultivation, they are very fast when they are in a hurry. It took four o'clock to set off from the river bank, and arrived at the county seat at about five o'clock. It's just that when they were looking for an inn, the two of them suddenly discovered something.
Due to the suddenness of the ship, the two of them were running for their lives at that time, so they didn't have time to clean up. At this time, after coming to the county seat, I found that both of them were penniless. Cao Ying still has one or two pieces of jewelry on her body, but Li Xie only has one piece of clothing except for that imperial order.
"Why don't I go and get these two pieces of jewelry?" Cao Ying and Li Xie stood at the door of the inn, and Cao Ying opened her mouth to ask Li Xie. The things on Cao Ying's body are worth a little money, but she used to be a representative of the Cao family, and no matter how bad the things on her body are, they can't be there.
Besides, this jewelry is not an important thing for Cao Ying, and it has no special significance, so when Cao Ying had no money, she immediately thought of this.
Selling jewelry? This......
Li Xie thought for a moment and nodded, but there was a little reluctance in his expression, but he also knew that this was the best way now!
The two stopped a passer-by on the side of the road, and after some inquiry, they came to the largest pawnshop in the county.
But a small place is a small place, and people's greed is really infinite in such a place. Although Li Xie himself is a person from a smaller place, he has no intention of complaining about people in small places, but this pawnshop really makes Li Xie want to beat people.
Who would have thought that a glass jade bracelet, this pawnshop would dare to always be earned. What is this concept? The purchasing power of money is still okay now, but it has always been equivalent to 500 yuan in later generations. Five hundred bucks! Glass jade bracelet?
It's not a question of whether to be a fool or not, but this store is bullying Li Xie and the two of them as fools! Who can be angry about this?
Li Xie theorized with the shopkeeper, and they swore that this thing must be fake, and I only accepted it because of your pity. Just when Cao Ying gritted her teeth and opened her mouth to agree, Li Xie grabbed Cao Ying's hand and walked out.
Cao Ying is anxious about her younger brother and wants to use the money in a hurry, Li Xie can understand it, but she is not so anxious to use it. After getting out of the pawnshop, Cao Ying struggled to pull her hand out of Li Xie's hand:
"It's okay, if you suffer a loss, you will suffer a loss, and I don't care about that."
"It's not something you don't care about, you take a few hundred taels of money as a consistent money, this is taking yourself for a fool. Wrong, go! Li Xie said angrily and walked to a remote place.
Only after walking a distance, Li Xie clearly felt that someone was following him. I glanced behind without a trace and found that it was a person dressed as a small guy.
Li Xie sneered, ignored it, and glanced at Cao Ying when he walked to a remote corner, and the two separated. The little guy didn't notice this, and still followed behind Li Xie, but after the little guy entered the alley, Li Xie suddenly turned back, and then the little guy knew that he had been discovered.
The little girl's first reaction was to turn around and walk back, but just when he turned his head, he found that Cao Ying didn't know when he was behind him.
The little guy who was blocked between the two men was almost frightened, and he shivered and retreated to the corner of the wall. By this time, Xiao Wu had already planned to confess when Li Xie and the two of them were questioned.
He is a powerless pawnshop boy who has stood up to the sky, just a little man who runs errands, and he can't make himself suffer for anyone. So betraying the pawnshop owner is not a problem for this kid at all.
Originally, according to the normal routine, Li Xie wanted to ask questions first. When he was in the pawnshop just now, Li Xie was made angry by the owner of the pawnshop, and the fire in his stomach had not disappeared at this time, how could he talk to the young man in the pawnshop in a good manner.
So Li Xie didn't ask at all, and after seeing the little guy retreat and shrink into the corner, he stepped forward and directly added his fists and feet. This guy couldn't have imagined that Li Xie looked like a white-faced little scholar. The character is so cruel that he doesn't even say a word, and he comes up to do it first.
After receiving three punches and two kicks, this little guy came to his senses and began to beg for mercy.
"Don't fight, don't fight. I said I would say everything. It was the pawnshop owner who asked me to follow you, and it's really none of my business. ”
Li Xie turned a deaf ear to this, and did not hesitate at all under his hands, punching and kicking unfast and rhythmically. Of course, although there was no hesitation to start, there were still reservations in strength. Otherwise, with Li Xie's current strength in his fists and feet, this thin little guy is afraid that he will not be able to withstand a punch and a kick.
It wasn't until the little guy's nose and face were swollen that Li Xie stopped. But after stopping, he didn't ask questions, turned around and left. It wasn't until the two of them were gone that the little guy slowly got up from the ground. Then he limped, clutched his stomach, hunched and walked back slowly.
The reason why Li Xie did not hesitate was because he knew that the owner of the pawnshop would send someone to follow him, so there would definitely be future plots. As for the little guy, he was very innocent after being beaten, and this kind of thing does not exist at all.
This kid would come out to follow Li Xie and the two of them, so he must know what happened next, and he must be one of the accomplices. This kind of person looks pitiful, but in fact he is pitiful, there must be something hateful, and he is not worthy of his mercy.
The two of them kept walking to the remote corner, and when they came to the corner, there was no one around at all. Only then did Li Xie open his mouth and say into the air:
"Big brother, why don't you come out and see me?!"
After Li Xie's words were spoken, the surroundings were quiet, and Cao Ying's body became even more tense and vigilant at this moment. As soon as Li Xie's words came out, Cao Ying thought that the two of them were being followed by someone else. And the person who followed him this time should be quite clever, because he didn't even notice it.
"Don't push me! You know, I'm penniless right now, only that iron lump you gave me is still usable. If you push me too hard, I'll just take it for granted. ”
