Chapter 153: A Leaf in a Flat Boat, a Shadow on the Side (2)

The fisherman's boat gradually sailed away from sight.

Qing Ling saw the woman in the cabin come out, stood side by side with her husband on the bow of the boat, waved her hand in her direction, and shouted something.

When the boat finally disappeared into the mist, Qing Ling hesitated and slowly turned his head and looked at Luo Yao.

After the rain in the middle of the night, the brocade robe on Luo Yao's body was already soaked, and at this moment it showed a moist deep blue in the golden rays of the morning sun. He hung his head, straightened the rope in his hand, and still firmly stepped on a bunch of rattan pulled from the shore under his feet, controlling the boat from being carried away by the current.

Qing Ling remembered the fisherman's words just now, realized Luo Yao's plan, and asked, "You want to go ashore?" ”

Luo Yao bent down and put the rope into the iron buckle on the side of the ship, "Hmm." The hot springs on the island sound good. ”

Qing Ling hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm fine, I don't need to soak in the hot springs!" ”

Rather than wasting time here, she would rather escape from this water that doesn't fit with her sooner.

Luo Yao raised his head and stared at her, smiling rather than smiling, "Of course you don't have to." ”

After saying that, he jumped off the bow of the boat, tied the other end of the rope to a tree on the shore, tied a knot according to the method that the fisherman had just taught, and then strode into the camphor forest.

Qing Ling was stunned for a while, and then he reacted, it turned out that Luo Yao wanted to use the hot spring himself.

She returned to the cabin, sat silently for a moment, remembered something, got up and hung up the curtains, opened the roof and the canopies on both sides, pulled a rattan over as a rope, and hung up the wet clothes she had changed last night.

Looking up at the sky, the clear sky meets the boundless blue waves, and a few floating clouds pass by leisurely, indicating that today should be a good day.

There are still a few islands floating on the surface of the water in the distance, but unfortunately they are too far away to see the plants on the islands, and under the strong light of the morning sun, they are like the dark backs of sea beasts lurking on the surface of the lake, peaceful and comfortable. Qing Ling sat down in front of the window, enjoying the scenery, feeling the gentleness of the breeze on his face, watching the changes in color reflected on the surface of the water, for a while, I only wish that this leisure and quiet time could be longer.

After a long time, Luo Yao still didn't come back.

Qing Ling stood up and glanced at the forest on the island a few times, undeciding whether to make a noise or not. She touched the clothes that were drying, and felt that they had dried a lot, but suddenly remembered something, leaned over and rummaged in the cabin for a while, and took out another baggage.

That kid forgot to bring a change of clothes, no wonder he stayed inside and couldn't come out!

Qing Ling hesitated for a moment, carried his baggage, jumped onto the shore, and also walked into the camphor forest on the island.

The area of the island in Fuyu is not very large, and it didn't take long to walk to the center of the island.

I saw a camphor tree with leaves like a crown, like a giant spreading its arms, occupying a steamy spring, and the coiled roots of the tree reached the ground, surrounding the big stones around the hot springs, and on the big stones, some clothes were neatly spread. Qing Ling recognized it at a glance, it was Luo Yao's clothes.

She came closer before she could see the figure in the hot spring steam. The loose hair clings to the back like ink satin, and the skin on the shoulders is firm and sleek, with a unique strength and charm between the ups and downs.

Qing Ling paused, and didn't dare to take a single step, but cautiously took two steps back, raised his voice and shouted, "Hey! Have you finished washing? ”

After a long time, Luo Yao's answer sounded in a low voice, "My clothes haven't dried yet." ”

Qing Ling said: "Don't wait for the clothes to dry!" I've brought your baggage on the ship. ”

There was silence for a while, "Are you sure it's my clothes in there?" ”

Qing Ling was stunned when she heard this, and looked down at the burden she was carrying.

"Isn't it? But I remember the lady saying that this was for you......" she said, crouching down to inspect it.

Before leaving, because she was too confident that she could end the journey quickly, she didn't ask for the bunch of things prepared by the next people, and was only forced into a burden by Qiu Zhi. There is also this one in hand, because the female officer specially explained that it was given to Luo Yao, and for the sake of fairness, she also helped him take it to the boat.

Qing Ling untied the baggage tie, "I took a look at it in the cabin just now, and it was indeed clothes......... "Huh," she said, pulling out one of the things inside, "how is it a silk handkerchief?" I rummaged for a while, and was deeply puzzled, "Why are they all silk handkerchiefs?" What are you doing with so many silk handkerchiefs? ”

The unfolded surface is full of delicately made white silk handkerchiefs, without embroidery or printing, as clean and soft as magnolia petals.

Qing Ling was completely dumbfounded. This pile of handkerchiefs was carefully wrapped inside and outside before, no wonder she recognized them as clothes!

She realized that maybe the maid had wrapped the wrong thing, so she raised her voice again and asked, "There are a lot of silk handkerchiefs here." Do you want it? ”

Luo Yao's tone had a hint of banter in it, "What do I want that veil for?" ”

"You can wipe it with this!"

Qing Ling took out a few handkerchiefs, walked to the hot springs, turned his back to Luo Yao, and spread the handkerchiefs on the stones, "I'll put it here, you come out quickly, don't rub it off!" ”

After saying that, he returned to his place to re-tie his baggage and quickly walked to the position where the ship was moored.

Along the way, she repeatedly recalled what she had just said to Luo Yao, and always felt that her tone seemed to be a little too polite, as if she was a little flattering to him, and she felt faintly annoyed in her heart.

So back on the boat, she put away the clothes to dry, and sat quietly in the cabin, making up her mind that no matter when Luo Yao came out, she would not bother with it.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Luo Yao, who had freshened up, to walk out of the forest.

He untied the ropes that tied the branches and jumped into the boat. The boat swayed, and soon followed the current away from the shore of the island and drifted in the other direction of Mizusawa.

Luo Yao sat down at the bow of the boat, his arms resting on the side of the boat, his long hair only tied up in a hosta, and the rest of his hair hung down behind his back, gently fluttering on the surface of the lake and in the wind.

Qing Ling raised his hand and wanted to lower the curtain of the cabin to completely isolate the two, but he felt that it was too hypocritical to do so, so he retreated to the window and looked at the lake scenery in silence.

The moon of Mengqiu is the most beautiful season in Daze.

The water is breezy and the blue bells and red maples reflect each other, reflecting on the shore of the floating islands that pass by. Birds skim the water, chasing and playing, chirping gently and crisply.

The two of them sat quietly like this, one after the other, rippling in the dripping boat.

After a long time, Qing Ling cleared his throat and said in a cold voice: "Next time, no matter what island you encounter, don't go up and delay time." I don't want to stay in this place forever! ”

Luo Yao didn't look back, and after a while, he said lightly: "The islands here are also drifting constantly. Going to the island does not mean standing still. ”

Qingling was not to be outdone, "What if you miss it?" ”

The water here flows in a circuitous direction, but eventually it joins the Yansui River. The place where the two currents meet, that is, the place where the boat sails out of the water.

Luo Yao's answer was still faint, "Didn't you stay on the boat?" I don't seem to have asked you to send me a silk handkerchief. ”

Qing Ling heard him mention the matter of giving the clothes just now, and a trace of shame hidden in his heart finally turned into anger, "Who made you so rubbing?" I'm just going to rush you! Humming and laughing, he simply shook out the backlog of grievances: "I can't figure it out, why do you always look like a polite corporal and kind and polite to others, why are you always yin and yang weird when you come to me?" Did I provoke you? I said earlier, if you want to do it, I will accompany you to the end! Don't talk in front of me in your sour tone! ”

Luo Yao was silent for a moment, then slowly turned around, looking at Qing Ling with burning eyes.

"I don't understand it either," he said slowly, word by word: "If others are kind to you, you will be grateful to Dade and remember it, but no matter how good I am to you, you will never take it to heart." Where did I provoke you? ”

His speed of speech was very slow, and his tone seemed indifferent, but the burning emotion in his eyes reminded Qing Ling of that day in the cave next to Zhuo Yuan, and he gritted his teeth and asked himself: "Is it so difficult for you to show weakness in front of me once?" ”

Qing Ling was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be something obscure in his thoughts that suddenly brightened for a moment, but then it dimmed.

She raised her head, "You didn't provoke me, but dare you say that you didn't provoke the people of Lieyang?" That time in Zhangguo Mountain, you have to talk nonsense when you open your eyes, saying that you went to Fuyang to see Ajing, but in fact, you went to Beilu to find Lieyang people, right? If you go north from the Eastern Continent, except for Xianxia Pass, you can only take the Ice Blade Forest and the Sealed Heavenly Moat. And the internal injuries you suffered at that time are probably related to these two places, right? On the one hand, you helped the Lieyang people invade the Eastern Continent, and on the other hand, you pretended to be worried about the country and the people, and contributed money and efforts to Chaoyan, don't you feel that you are hypocritical and shameful? ”

"Someone for his own selfish desires, eager for quick success, causing 20,000 soldiers to die on the battlefield, is still a hero in your heart that no one can compare. And I contributed money and efforts, and sincerely wanted to do my best for the people of the Eastern Continent, but I only ended up in a hypocritical name. Luo Yao hooked the corners of his mouth, and the look in his eyes seemed to have no intention of backing down, and he looked at Qing Ling fixedly: "Even if I provoke the people of Lieyang and relieve my mother, what is the shame?" Is it only for you to use my uncle to set up a situation and charge Jiuqiu with groundless charges, and not allow me to use some means to stop this senseless war? ”

Qing Ling propped up the hatch, stood at the bow of the boat, and pointed at Luo Yao, "You admit it?" You did it! ”

She had an indignant expression, thinking that if it weren't for this change, why would she have to fulfill the marriage contract in advance and marry Daze, thinking about what Mu Han had said to herself outside the Chengji Hall that day, her heart was even more annoyed, and her fingers pointing at Luo Yao gradually curled into a fist, and waved in the air, "I want to tell my father!" You Daze Baili clan, the foreign enemy, the sin is unforgivable! ”

Luo Yao smiled: "Really? But don't forget, now that you are my wife, if you are guilty, your share is indispensable. ”

Qing Ling was completely enraged, and he couldn't use his divine power, so he took out the posture of fighting with Li Zhong when he was a child, picked up the bundle of ropes on the bow deck, and pulled it towards Luo Yao.

Luo Yao spun around, avoided Qing Ling's attack, and grabbed her arm. Qing Ling's upper body was clamped, so he raised his leg and kicked it, but he was blocked by the opponent's leg, and the lower plate was unstable, and his body fell down, and even Luo Yao was dragged to the deck.

Qing Ling turned over and pressed Luo Yao under him, grabbed his front placket, his eyes were red, "I'm not your wife!" I have nothing to do with you! If it weren't for your conspiracy and collusion with the people of Lieyang, I wouldn't have married here at all! ”

Luo Yao's eyes were playful, "If you weren't my wife, what would you be doing with me here?" ”

Qing Ling was furious, grabbed him by the collar, and swung his fist to beat him down.

Luo Yao pinched Qing Ling's wrist and easily dissolved her attack, turning over and pressing her under him.
