Xiao Yi looked at the unwavering river, and there was unspeakable pain in his heart, but he couldn't show it, he had always been happy and angry, and it had long been engraved in his bones. It seems that I really hurt her this time, I really hope that my departure will make Linglong forget me earlier, Xiao Yi sighed softly.

Xiao Yi went from Linxiang to Suzhou, the journey was long, even if there was no strong wind and waves, it took three to five days to sail. Xiao Yi didn't want to be disturbed by others, so he hired a boat alone, and there were only rowing boaters and the next person (Xuan'er) who followed Xiao Yi on board. Originally, Xiao Yi only planned to take a male family member, but Master Wang disliked them for not knowing how to take care of people, and Xuan'er let her go because of her sharp hands and feet and diligent work.

"Young master, you've been standing for a long time, and it's windy on the bow of the boat, why don't you go to the warehouse to rest for a while?" Xuan'er took a cloak and draped it over Xiao Yi's shoulder.

"It's okay, you go in, don't suffer the cold, I'm not cold, I just want to see the scenery along the way." ”

How could Xuan'er not know why Xiao Yi was always alone in a daze? I'm afraid that no one in the Wang family didn't know about it. Although Xuan'er didn't know why Xiao Yi did this, she believed that Xiao Yi did it with her own concerns and reasons. Even if everyone thinks that Xiao Yi is cold-blooded and ignorant of human feelings, Xuan'er is also on Xiao Yi's side, because from the moment he saved himself, Xuan'er didn't believe that Xiao Yi was cold-blooded.

"Xuan'er is not cold, and I also want to see the scenery, can I let Xuan'er enjoy it together?"

"This little girl, maybe this boy wants to stay alone? Sometimes, the appropriate distance, it seems to be far away, but in fact it is close! Haha!" The boatman rowed beside him, looking at the water and looking at the two people on the boat from time to time.

"Huh, I know that distance produces beauty, but I'm just worried about my young master, he's been standing for so long, I'm afraid. ”

"Haha, the boy's body is not as fragile as your daughter's family, they all have their own backbone, this little wind, it's not in the way. ”

"But he really stood for a long time..."Xuan'er may only dare to be outside, so she cares about Xiao Yi so much.

"Xuan'er, let's go in!" Xiao Yi looked at Xuan'er expressionlessly, as if he had never heard that Xuan'er wanted to accompany her.

"Okay. Xuan'er sighed lightly, looked at Xiao Yi, and found that Xiao Yi had no expression, so she knew that she could only obey. Turning around, he slowly walked back into the cabin.

"Boatman, why did you say that to Xuan'er?"

"Childe, why do you ask me? Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, but you don't want to admit it. ”

"Huh!" Xiao Yi sneered self-deprecatingly. "Boat family, yes, I don't have any special thoughts about Xuan'er, and she hopes for me!" In the palace, Xuan'er and Xiao Yi are like strangers, except for the housekeeper, no one knows that they actually know each other, but after leaving the palace, Xuan'er has become attentive. Even if Xiao Yi doesn't want to pay attention to it, he can always feel it.

"Xuan'er is a good girl, she won't go out of her way to please others, she also remembers her kindness, and works hard to reciprocate, I can see it. ”

"Then what are you? Haha, forgive me for being an old man, I always like to inquire about other people's affairs, if the son thinks I'm talking too much, I don't need to say it. ”

"No, no, the boatman, 'the authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear', in fact, I also want to hear your opinion, old man, would you like to hear it?"

"Haha, then I'll have to listen to it!"

"I only have one question, you said that if you can't promise her happiness, should I refuse? But at the beginning I walked into her heart, and I knew that I would definitely hurt her in the future, but I don't know why, I couldn't restrain myself, and when I saw her always smiling silly, I always wanted to get closer, and I wanted to keep looking. ”

"I can't help myself, I'm an old man, I just want to ask you, do you regret it? You can deceive her, but you can't deceive your own heart. ”

"Regret? I don't know what regret is, when she hugged me and cried, I could barely control myself, but ah, my long-cherished wish has not been completed, in order to complete it, I may..." "What I'm most afraid of is that the more hope I give her, the greater the disappointment. Instead of that, I might as well let her forget about me. ”

"Did you forget? Why don't you meet and avoid it in the first place?"

"I don't know this, as if she has a magical magic that attracts me, and I can't help but get closer to her. ”

"Childe, you already know what you want, don't you?"

"What do you want? Hahaha!" Xiao Yi laughed towards the river, it was a sense of freedom and ease that suddenly opened up, a kind of excitement that was relieved.

"Distant girl, let me sing you. Distant girl, let me sing you. I know you don't know who I am, but I have long remembered you, and my heart has long been your ......" The boatman saw that Xiao Yi seemed to have untied the knot, so he began to sing. The river reverberated with a deep song, and from time to time it startled the birds in the mountains and forests on both sides.

Xiao Yi secretly made up his mind in his heart that if this trip was successful, he would definitely give Linglong an explanation after he went back.

Xiao Yi from Linxiang to Suzhou all the way is also peaceful, the boatman rows quickly during the day, and when he is tired, he will rest on the shore. When Xiao Yi saw the boatman resting, he fished and went ashore to see the customs of other places, as if he was enjoying it. It was a sudden strong wind on the way, and after a one-day delay, Xiao Yi arrived in Suzhou on the fourth day.

Suzhou may not be as lively as Linxiang, full of people, but it is extremely rich in the feeling of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, rainy and more poetic. "There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below", but anyone who has been to Suzhou will definitely be attracted by the mountains and rivers here. But Xiao Yi didn't have the slightest joy about this place, if he could, he would rather not come to this place again in his life.

"Guest officer, Suzhou has arrived!" the boat shouted to Xuan'er and Xiao Yi, who were sleeping.

"Hmm, is it there?" said Xuan'er, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Yes, it's here!"

"Let's go, let's get off the boat. Xiao Yi picked up his cloth bag, and then handed Xuan'er's cloth bag to her. It's not that Xiao Yi is unwilling to help Xuan'er take it, it's just that Xiao Yi still divides the position of master and servant, otherwise it will be even more difficult to distinguish in the end, and there may be misunderstandings.

"Hmm. Xuan'er took her cloth bag and walked down the boat.

"Boatman, thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Yi took out the cost of hiring a boat from his money bag and handed it to the boatman.

"Thank me for what?" the boatman looked at Xiao Yi as if he didn't know anything.

Xiao Yi laughed softly, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

"Young master, where are we going now, are we going to find the inn?"

"Don't worry, go somewhere with me first. ”
