Chapter 128: Sure enough
Zhao Qingzhou subconsciously turned his head and saw Zhang Yunhua leaning out of the low canopy in the cabin, his face was a little tired, but he did not have a sad face, and he was looking at himself with concern at the moment. "Huh?" A syllable came out of Zhao Qingzhou's throat, and he didn't know whether it was surprise or surprise: "Shouldn't you have taken them back with you?" ”
After saying that, he turned around and still wanted to pull Su Mengtang up, but saw that the girl had already quickly picked up her robe and jumped up gently and skillfully. "Brother Yunhua, you are also waiting for us here." Seeing Zhang Yunhua, the corners of Su Mengtang's eyes and eyebrows stretched slightly, but the swollen eyes that had just cried had not completely subsided at this time. Zhang Yunhua glanced at Su Mengtang very seriously, and said in a very soft tone: "Come in." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone heard Lao Fan shouting: "A few guests be careful, start the boat." Zhao Qingzhou only felt that the hull of the boat moved under his feet, and a wave of inertia urged people to fall forward, and he hurriedly wanted to hold on to something, but it can be seen that Zhang Yunhua and Su Mengtang stood still like a mountain, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts for a while, the people who knew how to work their bodies were indeed different from ordinary people like him. Seeing this, Zhang Yunhua and Su Mengtang hurriedly stretched out their hands to stabilize Zhao Qingzhou, and the three of them bowed their heads together and walked into the cabin covered by the green canopy.
At this time, Lao Fan had already jumped on the boat, he put the wooden oar in his hand towards the big bluestone in the water, and the hull of the boat left the shore a few feet, about a few oars, the wooden oar could not touch the bluestone at the bottom of the shore, only in the water "whoop-whoo-" set off a small splash, and the boat sailed smoothly towards the center of the lake.
The noisy crowd on the shore gradually moved away from the sight of several people, and the scenery seen last night gradually showed up in front of Zhang Yunhua and others one by one with another bright and colorful appearance. Lao Fan quickly shook the oars in his hand, deliberately staggered the route of other pleasure boats, and only headed towards the uninhabited lake to the north. Seeing that there was finally no one around, Su Mengtang hurriedly asked, "Brother Yunhua, how are the children?" ”
"It's all good, I'm just a little frightened, but I've been coaxed by Jinshu and Ning'er." Zhang Yunhua nodded at Su Mengtang and explained: "Zhuo Ran Lao Xiang and them have already taken two boats and left with the children. When Su Mengtang heard that the children were safe, he stroked his hand and said, "It's okay, I was originally worried about two ends, but now that I know the news, my heart is half relieved." ”
Zhao Qingzhou explained to Zhang Yunhua when he heard this: "I don't know if Ning Er can convey it to you, just now Bihu entered Wanzhou Pavilion with his own danger and was taken away by Shi Miyuan Xia Zhen. Zhang Yunhua nodded solemnly and said, "Ning Er only said that Bihu entered the Wanzhou Pavilion, but just now I saw the two of you on the boat, but I didn't see Bihu, and I had already guessed a few points in my heart, and sure enough." ”
Zhao Qingzhou sighed when he heard this, cheered up again, and glanced at Zhang and Su respectively: "When we meet with Brother Xiang and Zhuo Ran, we will discuss the rescue strategy." Yunhua, I want to know now, why is Lao Fan waiting for us on West Lake Road, and where will they go ashore to return to Lin'an? And why are you on board? ”
His series of questions made Zhang Yunhua smile dumbly and explained: "It's a long story. But we were able to get out smoothly, thanks to Lao Fan's father and son. Zhao Qingzhou said slowly when he heard this: "You don't say anything, Mengtang and I are still confused." When we saw Lao Fan just now, we hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether we should go on the boat with him, since you have already made arrangements, you should let Lao Fan tell him bluntly, so as not to overwhelm us. ”
Several people laughed for a while, and Zhang Yunhua opened his mouth to say: "I went out of Wanghai Tower, and inquired about the whereabouts of the child all the way, and I heard that there were two people dressed as knights and a man and a woman who had already asked once, and they came to West Lake Road, so I knew that it was Zhuo Ran and Jinshu." So I ran all the way and found the two of them......"
While listening, Su Mengtang got up and looked around, stretched out his hand to line up the three black pottery bowls stacked on top of the small table in the cabin, and went to pick up the copper kettle on the stove, intending to pour two bowls of tea for Yunhua and Qingzhou. "Girl, be careful." Zhang Yunhua was about to go down, but when he saw this scene, he naturally stepped forward and took the copper kettle in Su Mengtang's hand and motioned for her to go back and sit.
"Brother Yunhua, let me come." Su Mengtang's hand did not let go of the handle of the copper kettle. Zhang Yunhua did not give in: "No, you go and sit, I'll come." "I'll just come to such a trivial matter." "Just go and sit and I'll come."
Zhao Qingzhou sat upright with his arms crossed, watching the two of them fighting over the matter of pouring water, he felt a little laughed in his heart, so he got up and snatched the kettle from the hands of the two and said, "You two, let me come, Yunhua, you continued, Mengtang, you go and rest." Su Mengtang's cheeks were crimson for a while, as if someone had seen through his thoughts, so he just sat down silently. Zhang Yunhua sat opposite Su Mengtang and took in her demeanor. The water surface of the West Lake rippled for a while.
Zhao Qingzhou poured a bowl of water and handed it to Su Mengtang, reminding: "Be careful of scalding." He turned to Yunhua again and asked, "Yunhua, what happened after you met Zhuo Ran?" Zhang Yunhua let out an "oh" and continued: "The three of us were about to go separately to inquire about the whereabouts of the child in West Lake Road, and Zhuo Ran's eyes were sharp, and I happened to see Lao Xiang and Ah Feng, one holding a child, hurriedly walking from Gushan Road to this side. So we hurried up to meet us. ”
"What a coincidence." Su Mengtang exclaimed when she heard this, she raised her head and met Shang Yunhua's smiling eyes, and the drum beat in her heart was quite wrong for a while, so she only looked at the bow of the boat. Zhang Yunhua retracted his gaze, he took the water handed by Qingzhou, thanked him and continued: "Lao Xiang said, after telling everyone to meet in Womei Bay, we went straight to the dock, but I didn't expect that there were so many people at the dock. I was worried that there would be too many people, so I wanted to find a search boat first, so that the two girls and the children could go up and rest for a while. ”
"Or do you want to be thoughtful," Zhao Qingzhou sat down and praised, "So you found Lao Fan?" Zhang Yunhua took a sip of water and said: "No, as soon as I stretched out my head, I was somehow seen by Lao Fan, who came over from the boat in a few steps and asked us if we were going to the island in the middle of the lake, and he sent us over." ”
The three of them all raised their heads to look at Lao Fan, the boatman did not seem to want to know what was being discussed in the cabin, but only looked up at the lake rowing, he was wearing his clothes open, and a layer of fine sweat was already appearing on his forehead in the late autumn weather. Zhang Yunhua looked at Lao Fan with great admiration and said: "Lao Fan is the kind of righteous man in the red dust, I saw him, told him that everyone was in trouble, and asked him if he could go to Lin'an here." ”
Zhao Qingzhou nodded and said, "What did Lao Fan say?" ”
"When Lao Fan heard this, he didn't ask a word, and hurriedly called his two sons from the boat, and instructed them to lead us to the boat to rest first, and then send us to the Yuehu Wharf in the north, and he was waiting for you on the shore alone." Zhao Qingzhou sighed: "When others hear about trouble, they are afraid to avoid it, but Lao Fan is so chivalrous, just for this, the next time we come to West Lake, we must respect Lao Fan with a few glasses of wine." ”
Su Mengtang suddenly asked, "What about Ning'er?" Not with everyone? Zhang Yunhua said: "I am discussing with Lao Xiang, let them go first, I will stay and wait for the three of you, but Qiao Ning'er arrived, saying that Qingzhou means to let everyone return to Lin'an first, so I let them go to Yuehu Wharf first." Old Fan let me get on his boat, and he went to meet you in front of him. It was a messy situation, and I just wanted to tell you that I was waiting here, that he was gone, so I had time to explain it in the future. ”
Zhao Qingzhou couldn't help nodding, and suddenly asked as if he had thought of something: "What is the place of Yuehu Wharf?" When we get there, how do we get back to Lin'an? ”
