Chapter 8: Chaos in the Night
When the two returned to the tent and sat down, they found that the people in the tent were enjoying lunch, the atmosphere was very calm, and there was no needle-to-wheat feeling, and the hearts of the two were a little steady.
Even if the three people in the back really have something to do, they will not do anything wrong under the blue sky and white sun, after all, there will occasionally be other boats passing by the side of the canopy boat during the day, and some people will even greet the captain. Thinking of this, Zhuge Hanqing's somewhat cautious heart finally relaxed a lot, he closed his eyes, swallowed his breath, and began to consolidate his mind, but after an hour, he might as well fall asleep.
Puyang Gu Sheng on the side may be because his partner next to him is asleep, or maybe he has a sleeve arrow by his side, he actually followed the snoring and broke into a sweet dreamland.
In the dream, he and Zhuge Hanqing straddled horses and walked on the prosperous and wealthy Yancheng Street, and the people on both sides of the street were smiling, holding flowers and delicacies, and were welcoming their arrival.
Similarly, Zhuge Hanqing also had a dream, but on the contrary, in his dream, it was not the people of Yancheng who were welcoming them in the middle of the road, but the officials of the government were holding shackles, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net, and the people around them were all looking at them with a smirk.
In the evening, Zhuge Hanqing woke up from his drowsiness, he looked out of the tent, the sky was drizzling, and the captain also put on his coat and hat. Zhuge Hanqing saw this scene, Huo Ran recalled the picture of the costume TV series he had watched, the male protagonist and the heroine accompanied each other in the lake, and the captain sang a ballad to support the artemisia, rowing on the shore of the vast lake, which was very beautiful.
However, there is a captain, a cruise ship, and a lingering atmosphere, but sitting next to him is actually a seven-foot man who is snoring and sleeping. Zhuge Hanqing had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake his head slightly.
Boredom, Zhuge Hanqing quietly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and pressed it repeatedly, but the screen was always in black, he was a little discouraged, but he was also a little contradictory, since he was planning to find a new life in this new world, why should he be obsessed with whether the things in the old world can be used normally. He breathed a sigh of relief, no longer holding out any hope for his phone, he got up and went to the stern of the boat, and casually dropped the phone in the endless river.
The discarding of the mobile phone represents his break with the old world, and at this time, a smile actually appeared on his cheeks.
The young man, who had just returned from searching for the water around the canopy, saw this scene and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Young man, what did you lose?" ”
Zhuge Hanqing was slightly startled, and then a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he said calmly: "It's the boatman, in fact, I didn't lose anything, but just a fish jumped on the boat, and I lost it all in the river." ”
"Hehe... Your heart is so kind, I have eaten all the fish that jumped on my boat before, and all I have thrown down are fish bones. Gong Chan said with a smile.
"Boatman, it's getting late, you should rest early." Zhuge Hanqing said with concern.
"Okay, when the rain stops, I'll set up a simple tent here to cope with it for a while."
"Isn't there a chaise longue left in the tent?"
"Hey, I smell of sweat, I'm afraid I'll choke you, young man, the ground is slippery outside, let's go into the tent."
Zhuge Hanqing agreed and returned to the tent. Under the cover of the candles at the mouth of the tent, he saw that the people inside were resting with their heads tilted, including Puyang Gu Sheng, who had slept almost all day.
But he didn't sleep much, and after sleeping all afternoon, how could he fall asleep at this time?
He couldn't help but look back again, and looked carefully at the person behind him, the woman at the back was still carrying the sword even when she was resting, which showed how low her sense of security was. She was hunted down during the day, and now she is going to another place by boat, presumably to avoid her pursuers. She was afraid that there would be people in the boat who had bad intentions against her, which is why she was so cautious. But why was she hunted down by others? This is unknown.
The pair of middle-aged women sitting in the second row, their faces are calm, their breathing is regular, and when they rest, the two of them actually face the outside, which always gives people a sense of déjà vu that they are strangers, and the most important point is that the woman's face is ruddy, not like a sick body. Seeing this, Zhuge Hanqing became more and more vigilant about them.
Zhuge Hanqing finally looked at Puyang Gu Sheng beside him, maybe it was because he had taken care of himself in the past two days, so he didn't have a good rest, so he was so sleepy today. It's a good thing that he has to meet such a person, otherwise he might still be in prison at this moment. Therefore, he made up his mind that he would not be able to sleep tonight no matter what, after all, he could not understand whether the people around him were good or good.
Time flies, and at midnight, the sound of rain outside becomes louder, and Zhuge Hanqing, who closes his eyes and recuperates, only feels that the candle flame at the mouth of the tent is constantly swaying in the wind, almost extinguished. Suddenly, the candle flame was finally extinguished. Zhuge Hanqing's ears were keen, and he faintly heard the sound of someone walking barefoot and slightly.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and vaguely saw a black figure, holding a knife, walking towards the sleeping Puyang Gu Sheng.
"What are you going to do?!" Zhuge Hanqing instinctively shouted loudly.
The black shadow was obviously enraged by his words, his figure turned the direction and came straight towards him, just as the black shadow raised his right hand high, he might as well Puyang Gu Sheng kicked it to the side, making a sonorous crashing sound, and the whole ship shook.
At the moment when the shadow got up, I don't know who rekindled the candle.
The light in the black tent was restored again, and the scene was finally exposed to everyone's vision. It turned out that the black shadow of Fang Cai was actually a very simple and simple man in appearance, and I saw that he was holding a silver shining knife in his hand, and his angry eyes were full of evil and looked around, but it was the brown-haired young woman who lit the candle.
The little man was recognized by everyone, as if he was completely enraged, and saw him pick up his knife and go straight to Zhuge Hanqing, who was closest to him.
"Don't be impulsive, I'll tell you, I have a Hidden Arrow!" Puyang Gu Sheng saw this next scene, and while warning his husband, he raised his right hand and wanted to launch the Hidden Arrow, but his left hand pressed several times in a row, and the Hidden Arrow was still not ejected.
At this critical moment, only to hear the sound of "jingle bell", the short blade in the hand of the husband was picked up by the sword in the hand of the brown-haired woman and fell to the ground in an instant. Seeing that he had made frequent mistakes and was in an unfavorable situation, the husband hurriedly turned around, took a few long steps, and jumped into the river with a sharp leap.
"Are you alright?" The brown-haired woman actually asked with concern.
Zhuge Hanqing saw that the crisis was lifted, and his heart in his throat fell, and when he heard the woman's gentle caring voice, he was slightly stunned, and slowly said: "I'm fine, thank you girl for saving me." ”
"No thanks, we are clear, you helped me, and I saved you." The brunette woman sheathed her sword.
"What did you save him, he saved you?" Puyang Gu Sheng looked at him, and then at her, confused for a while.
"Now, without the captain, I don't know where the ship will drift?" The brown-haired woman turned sideways to look out of the tent and sighed.
"I'll do it." At this moment, the husband of the middle-aged couple who were huddled on the side and shivering suddenly stood up, "When I was young, I was the captain of our village for a while. ”
"That's great, thank you uncle, thank you aunt." Puyang Gu Sheng thanked the couple with a smirk.
After a while, the middle-aged uncle really held up the artemisia in a good way, and there were house lights on the shore from time to time, slowly passing by.
"Auntie, did you and your uncle also go to Yancheng?" Zhuge Hanqing asked with a smile.
"Yes, my eyes are seriously ill, I can't see things clearly, I have seen a lot of Langzhong and I have not been cured, and the head of the family will take me to Yancheng for everything, saying that Langzhong there is better than that in our county." The eldest lady spoke amiably and eloquently.
"I see!" Zhuge Hanqing said embarrassed in his heart, he felt very ashamed of his previous suspicion of middle-aged women.
"Auntie, sit down quickly, it's almost dawn, we will soon be able to get to Yuncheng, and when we arrive in Yuncheng, it will not be far from Yancheng, Kyoto." Zhuge Hanqing hurriedly helped the eldest lady to sit down, and covered her clothes again.
The canopy boat was back on track, and everyone's messy hearts finally settled down.
The brown-haired woman turned around and sat back on the last row of recliners, and Puyang Gu Sheng looked Zhuge Hanqing up and down, and asked him if he was hurt.
"Mother, I want to be a match! I never thought that the benevolent and kind-eyed man was actually a snake and scorpion-hearted water thief. Fortunately, you found it in time, otherwise my little life would have been killed a long time ago! Puyang Gu Sheng cursed while checking the sleeve arrow in his sleeve.
"I also want to thank you, fortunately you stopped this water thief in time, otherwise our old couple would have less brothers." The middle-aged uncle raised his voice and said into the tent.
"Hey, uncle, don't talk about the outside, being able to sit on the same boat is all the fate of the previous life, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid our boat would still be wandering around the river." Puyang Gu Sheng was polite to him.
However, Zhuge Hanqing's expression suddenly froze, because of the assassination incident just now, he only figured out at this time that what the water thief said to him inadvertently before, but it had another deep meaning, "The fish that jumped on my boat before were all eaten by me, and only the fish bones were thrown down by me." ”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt a chill in his back, the more he thought about it, the more he felt sluggish, and in the end, he could only look out of the tent and sigh repeatedly.
Puyang Gu Sheng only felt the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and his heart was full of joy like rebirth, how could he know about Zhuge Hanqing's psychological activities. It was the brown-haired woman who impressed Zhuge Hanqing, she not only rekindled the candle flame at the first time, but also saved his life at the last moment, and finally said a very affectionate word with great interest.
It's better to be in the rivers and lakes, if something happens on the contemporary earth, too many people will choose to hang high......
Thinking of this, Zhuge Hanqing still felt that he should thank this girl in person, after all, in order to save his life, he didn't dare to speak out, it was a passive type of help, and this time people were active helpers, and he always felt that he owed someone something.
