Along the way, Yimei leaned on the window, staring at the scenery outside the carriage in a flash. After a while, he turned around and asked Bai Qingqing, who was also bored on the side: "Brother Bai, how long will it take for us to get to Phoenix Town?" ”

"Wait, brother will help you take a look." Bai Qingqing hummed a little song, spread out the map in his hand leisurely, his eyes lit up, and then he said happily: "Sister Yimei, don't worry, look, this is Phoenix Town, we are here now," said and pinched the distance with his fingers, and raised it to show Yimei, "It's just a little bit, I'm about to see your eldest sister, aren't you very excited." ”

When Yimei heard this, she immediately came to her senses, and nodded happily: "Well, it's great, I'm finally going to see you." ”

The little civet cat and Mo Shaozhi were driving outside, and when they heard the movement inside, Mo Shaozhi opened the curtain and got in, picked up the kettle and took a sip of water: "I'm worried, Gao Lan may not be in this Phoenix Town, and there is that hidden Zhao Gongzi......"

Bai Qingqing blew the hanging hair in his ears, pillowed his hands, and leaned back: "Speaking of this Zhao Gongzi, I inquired last time, but it was only a little fur, and he really hid it deep enough." ”

Mo Shaozhi put down the kettle and stroked his beard in style: "That is to say, we don't know anything about this opponent now...... Now I can only take one step at a time. ”

Suddenly, Bai Qingqing raised his eyebrows: "Brother Mo, you don't need to wear this fake beard in this barren mountain and wilderness." Or, I think you like this beard? ”

Mo Shaozhi was stunned for a moment, and laughed at himself: "Well, I unconsciously have more movements to brush my beard, why don't you consider keeping your beard in the future?" ”

Yimei hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't, Brother Mo, don't ruin such a handsome face." ”

Bai Qingqing said with a smile: "Haha, you don't have to worry about Yimei, man, it's not about appearance, the key is about connotation and bearing, as far as we are the treasure of the town, even if we have this beard, we can't cover the dazzling brilliance on our body." ”

Mo Shaozhi didn't know how much irony there was in his words, so he didn't think much about it, so he took it as a compliment, and arched his hand directly: "It's still in Brother Bai's words." Praise it! ”

After a while, I heard the little civet cat outside barking: "There is a river ahead, I can't cross it!" ”

The people in the carriage came out one by one.

The four of them got out of the carriage and stood on the bank of the river to watch.

The little civet cat said, "With such a wide river, there should be a boat to cross the river." ”

Yimei over there suddenly saw a wooden board standing next to it, with words written on it, so she beckoned them: "Come here, there is content here." ”

Several people gathered: "If you want to cross the river, light the wet grass next to it and make smoke." ”

Mo Shaozhi looked at it and said, "This should be a code, the boatman in the distance will drive the boat over when he sees someone crossing the river." ”

Bai said lightly: "Then don't wait, let's ignite it quickly." ”

After the little tanuki finished speaking, he squatted on the ground and began to make a fire. After a while, black smoke rose.

The four of them waited.

After a while, a boat slowly appeared in the middle of the river, the hull of which was neither big nor small, leaning against the shore.

It is about eight zhang long and four zhang wide, with a high mast and a black canopy at the rear end.

When it docked, an old man came down from the boat, and his voice was vicissitudes and thick: "How many people are going to cross the river?" ”

Bai lightly arched his hand forward: "Exactly, you are the boat family, your surname is Bai, what is the name of the boat family?" ”

"Oh, Bai Gongzi is good, his surname is Yang, and they all call me Old Yang." Old Yang Tou said, his eyes kept looking at Bai Qingqing and the few people behind him.

Bai Qingqing arched his hand again: "Old Yang, today, we are a group of four people, and there is a carriage, it is estimated that we will have to work for you." ”

After Lao Yang Tou finished watching the people, he went to look at the carriage again, and smiled: "A few of you are out to play, look at this carriage is very arrogant." ”

Mo Shaozhi said: "Yes, we came out to enjoy the mountains and rivers and see the customs. ”

"Oh, it's good," Old Yang said with a pompous smile.

Then he asked for the price, put the carriage on the boat, and set off.

Standing at the bow of the boat, the breeze is blowing, and the river is wide and endless.

Mo Shaozhi asked: "Old Yang Tou, how long does it take to cross this river?" ”

Old Yang squinted at the mast: "There are some headwinds today, I'm afraid it will take a little more time, more than two hours." ”

The little tanuki and Yimei looked at the bow of the boat for a while, and felt that the wind was a little cool, so they went into the black canopy.

Suddenly, I saw a person huddled in the innermost corner of the canopy.

I saw that her body was shrunk into a ball, her head was buried deep in her body, and the black coarse cloth clothes on her body were in tatters.

The little civet cat was a little curious, withdrew again, turned around and asked Lao Yangtou: "Why is there someone in there?" What's wrong with her? ”

Lao Yang Tou sighed and whispered: "Alas, last night, I saw her on the shore, covered in wounds, probably because she met a bandit, and begged me to take her across the river." I saw that she was pitiful, so I took her on the boat, and the guest officers didn't mind. ”

The little civet cat was a little sympathetic to her when she heard it, so she nodded: "Don't worry, old Yangtou, we won't mind." Then the little tanuki ran over and took out the dry food and handed it to her.

He asked softly, "Don't be afraid, are you hungry?" Would you like to eat something. ”

When the man heard the voice, he raised his head tremblingly, and under his unkempt hair, an astonishing scene was revealed.

The face was wrapped in strips of cloth, all of which were already bloody, revealing only a pair of large eyes that sparkled with fear, looking at everything around him suspiciously and alertly.

The little tanuki couldn't help but cry out, "Ah! Your face—"

was asked by her so suddenly, and the big eyes that were only exposed instantly burst into tears.

Seeing this, Yimei hurriedly reassured: "Girl, don't cry, don't cry," and then got up and ran to the bow of the boat to find Mo Shaozhi.

Yimei hurriedly said: "Brother Mo, that girl is very injured, can you help her?" ”

When Mo Shaozhi heard this, he hurriedly walked over.

As soon as the girl saw him, she quickly buried her face again, her body trembling more and more, and her mouth made a whimpering disgust sound.

Seeing this, Yimei comforted: "Girl, don't be afraid, this brother is a doctor, he can help you heal your injuries." ”

But the girl refused to look up.

Bai Qingqing walked over, waved his hand to signal them to leave, and walked outside the canopy, Bai Qingqing guessed: "That girl is probably injured by a man, so she is worried when she sees a man." ”

The little tanuki was a little distressed: "Then let's save her, she looks so pitiful, her face is already bloody and blurry." ”

Mo Shaozhi said slowly: "Don't worry, I won't ignore her, don't worry, little civet cat, you and Yimei will appease her first, there are no conditions on this ship now, when we get off the boat, we will find an inn and help her check and deal with it." ”

"Well, good!" The tanuki nodded.
