Chapter 435: Gangnam Province
In the same dark night, on a small island surrounded by red and black water, on the opposite side of the beach where the Yi Xiao brothers and sisters were sitting, a small boat leaked quickly and came ashore.
At the end of a row of neat houses on the shore, there was a room with a light on. Under the lamp, a man with a beard and a neck was studying a map.
On the map, there are lines and dots evenly distributed every inch on the line.
"Shiqiao, where the hell are you......" The man under the lamp was Jiuqing, who had been looking for Shiqiao for half a year, his face was haggard, and his slender beard was gray, which made him look a lot of vicissitudes. Only those eyes that are still persistent show that he does not give up.
The lines on the map were his route to the stone bridge, each dot representing an area, and he had traveled to more than a dozen places in the vicinity, but there was still not a single word of her. Then he was going to start walking out, following the flow of the water until he found her......
"Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother......" Suddenly a hurried shout came, and Jiuqing frowned. It's almost time to go, and there is already a curfew on the island, could it be that something happened to the fire room?
He put away the map and stood up, and the people who reported it outside also ran to the door of his room.
"Brother Jiu, Feng Dangjia's ship is coming-" At the door, his subordinates were panting and anxious, Jiuqing explained that if Feng Shun came with a good wind, as long as he was there, he would be notified as soon as possible. So he came here with a sigh of relief.
"Feng Shun?" As soon as Jiuqing spoke, his legs had already begun to step out, and he began to run fast as he stepped out of the house.
It's a stone bridge! It must be a stone bridge!
He asked Feng Shun to help find Shiqiao, and let him know as soon as there was news. Recently, there is no goods to come in from Saltpeter Island, and Feng Shun came in the middle of the night, which is definitely not an ordinary thing.
Stone......
"Stone Bridge ......" Jiuqing's face unconsciously brought excitement and nervousness, it must be Stone Bridge!
"Stone Bridge, Stone Bridge!" Jiuqing rushed to the shore and saw that Feng Shun's boat had just landed, and the people had not yet walked down. He lunged and jumped straight onto the deck.
"Stone Bridgeβ"
"She's not here." As soon as Feng Shun walked out of the cabin, he was almost bumped into by Jiuqing who rushed up, and quickly stretched out his hand to block it.
"Shiqiao ......" Jiuqing only cared about rushing, and didn't hear Feng Shun's words, he took his body and rushed forward to run in again, but was pulled by Feng Shun.
"She's not there, she hasn't been found yet. Stop! Feng Shun looked at the nervousness and excitement shown by this man who was usually calm and terrible in other things, he pressed his fingers hard, and pinched him hard, "Brother Jiu, listen to me!" β
Jiuqing's wrist hurt, and finally regained a trace of sanity. He looked behind Feng Shun, a small cabin with no one else in it. The light in his eyes dimmed a little, "I'm sorry......"
Feng Shun shook his head and pulled Jiuqing off the boat, "Let's talk about it back in the house." β
"Hmm!" It's not Shiqiao, Jiuqing is like a different person in an instant, completely devoid of the brilliance just now, and the back of Xiao Se under the dim lantern makes Xiao Keai in the dark can't help but turn his head.
Feng Shun felt the eyes behind him follow, and he turned his head, just in time to see a scene that he couldn't bear to let go. He sighed, and the two of them ...... They all cared about Ishibashi like that, although for a long time, they had been divided into two groups to find Ishibashi and not talk to each other. However, Xiao Keai should have forgiven Jiuqing. Anyway, the incident with Ishibashi is something that no one wants to happen.
It's been so long, Jiuqing's heart has also been tortured, and Xiao Keai has also seen it.
"Brother Xiao come along, I have news of Shiqiao."
"What!" Jiuqing on the side grabbed Feng Shun's shoulder, and unconsciously pinched Feng Shun's shoulder with "gurgling".
"Stone Bridge?" Xiao Keai also rushed up, with a look of surprise, just now he also experienced the same as Jiuqing from surprise to loss. But I didn't expect that there was really news of the stone bridge.
"Brother Jiu, let's go to the house first......" Feng Shun gestured with his eyes.
This time, both of them calmed down instantly, "Okay! β
When the three of them walked into the house, Feng Shun did not delay, he knew how strong the two of them were looking forward to the traces of the stone bridge, so they came in person when they first received the news.
"The stakes are very high," Feng Shun took out the news that had just come from his subordinates, "Five days ago, the brothers who were delivering goods in Gangnam Province met a group of women. He found that one of the girls resembled Ishibashi in terms of appearance and age. So he took a closer look.
"Those women are from a well-known Jianghu sect in the south of the Yangtze River, called Bishui Palace. And that girl is the newly closed disciple of Bishui Palace. The message says......"
Feng Shun glanced at the two of them when he said this, and both of them were so nervous that they even held their breath, "It is rumored that this child was rescued by Bishui Palace at the beach half a year ago!" β
"Stone Bridge!"
"It's a stone bridge!"
Jiuqing and Xiao Keai shouted at the same time, and the two glanced at each other, seeing confirmation and excitement in each other's eyes.
It must be a stone bridge! You can't go wrong this time!
"Is there a portrait?" Jiuqing stepped in front of Feng Shun in one step, his mind was extremely clear at this time, according to Feng Shun's character, if he didn't have a big certainty, he wouldn't have come here like this.
Feng Shun took a step back and raised his hand: "Don't grab it, I'll take it out." He was very sure that if he took it out like this, the two would probably tear the portrait apart. Because he was in a hurry, he didn't have time to transcribe a copy.
"Good good ......"
"We're not moving!"
Jiuqing and Xiao Keai both hurriedly took a step back, and then looked at Feng Shun with blank eyes.
"Huh-" The portrait paper opened, and the eyes of the two men turned red in unison.
The girl in the portrait has fresh and playful hair in a fresh and playful bun and her face is covered with a white veil. But the pair of smart eyes outside the white yarn, they confirmed the look at a glance, it was Shiqiao!
"...... Shiqiao" Jiuqing muttered, his lips began to tremble, his eyes looked at the portrait without moving for a moment, and gradually whimpered, "Shiqiao...... You're not dead, ...... Ishabashi"
Xiao Keai's eyes were also red, and tears were already overflowing from the corners of his eyes, but the smile on the corners of his mouth was getting bigger and bigger, "Xiao Shiqiao, you really aren't dead, you're still alive...... That's nice...... You're alive...... Hahaha! Xiao Keai smiled and covered his face with a smile.
It's been more than six months, and they finally have news of her. They are just like the obsession they have always refused to let go, she is still alive, alive......
After a long time, both of them stopped crying, but looked at Feng Shun with hazy teary eyes: "Where is she?" β
We're going to find her! <
