Chapter Seventy-Eight: Dragged into the Water (Part 2)
In autumn, the canal is dotted with white sails, and the clouds in the sky are only a few thin sheets, and the refreshing wind blows the river with light waves, and the sails on the boat are full of wind, and they rush to Luoyang with joyful people.
Soon after getting on the boat, Camellia was nauseous and dizzy, so that Zheng's mother saw that it was seasickness, and asked her to go to the room to rest, Sanqi took Guangdan Zhuling to serve in front of Xiao Rongyue, and Ke's sister-in-law had already picked some fish, shrimp and melons and fruits on the dock and brought them up, busy preparing dinner, and Yuzhu also went over to help.
Leaning against the window and watching the scenery on both sides of the strait speeding by, from verdant to dusk, the autumn mood is getting stronger and stronger, that is, more and more north, Xiao Rongyue looked stunned for a while, and when she arrived in Chang'an, she was going to see Meng Yu.
This is what she has been thinking about, and even dreaming of it from time to time in her dreams, dreaming that she arrived in front of the Marquis Mansion of Ruyang, anxiously waiting for Meng Yu to come out, she wanted to tell him that she was not dead, or dead, but alive again.
But when she woke up from the dream, she was full of hesitation, what should she say, Dou Mi was already dead, two days before she became Xiao Rongyue and married into the Du family, she "died of illness" in the Marquis Mansion of Ruyang, and died in front of him, but now how should she tell him that she is alive again, but no longer Dou Mi, but has become Xiao Rongyue.
Who has ever seen such a thing as borrowing a corpse to resurrect a soul? Even if there is a legend of the mountains, no one has ever seen it, she dares to say, how can he believe it!
Not to mention the East Palace! If the prince knows that he has come back from the dead, then I am afraid that Xiao Rongyue will also become a ghost who died unjustly.
She was worried, anxious, and looking forward to it, tossing and turning in her heart, and she couldn't make up her mind.
Seeing that her expression was uncertain, the three or seven people didn't dare to disturb her, so they could only silently help her pour tea and fan on the side, watching the twilight slowly rise outside the window, and the cabin was also dim.
"Where is this?" Xiao Rongyue woke up from her thoughts, saw a sunset outside the window that was about to sink into the water, and asked.
Sanqi asked Guangdan to come in with the lamp, and said softly: "The boat family just said that they had just passed Si County, and they had to walk all night to reach Suzhou." ”
Xiao Rongyue snorted, looked at the people who had been detained in the cabin for most of the day, looked at Guangdan and Zhuling outside the window from time to time, and smiled: "That's it, a few of you go out for a look, and see that the small ones are all on errands in An'an, let Zheng's mother and Sanqi stay here to serve the meal." ”
Guangdan and Zhuling were not happy, and promised to go out happily.
Sanqi chuckled: "The lady is too used to them, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult to restrain her temperament in the future." ”
Xiao Rongyue waved his hand: "It's okay, it's rare to have such a view, I'm afraid it's hard to see it again when you get to Chang'an, if you want to see it, you can also go." ”
Sanqi turned around and lit the candle, and said with a smile: "Isn't it the first time that the lady has gone to Chang'an, why don't you go outside for a walk?" ”
Xiao Rongyue was stunned, and her smile faded: "This scenery ...... I'm a little tired, so I'll sit down here. ”
Sanqi was a little worried: "Isn't it seasickness?" Fang Cai vomited a lot of camellia, and she was sweating profusely, but Zheng's mother asked the boat family for some medicine to rub on her forehead, which was better. ”
Xiao Rongyue shook her head: "It's okay, just sit down." ”
Sanqi was not at ease after all, but he still waited for Sister-in-law Ke to send fresh shrimp porridge and a few side dishes, and watched her use a small bowl of porridge before he was relieved, but he still didn't dare to leave half a step, and sat in the cabin with Xiao Rongyue.
After all, the boat rush is still boring, Guangdan is the first to be excited and novel, and in the middle of the night, there is no scene to see, only the monotonous sound of breaking water, and then there is no interest, and I go back to the cabin to wait.
Zheng's mother said with a smile while doing needlework in her hands: "This is a blessing that only follows the lady, where did I dare to go to Chang'an in the past, even Jiangning City has never been out, who would have thought that this time I went so far, not only to Shanyang, but also on a big boat, I don't know what Chang'an looks like." ”
Sanqi helped her with the silk thread: "If you want to come to Chang'an, it is bigger than Jiangning Mansion, and it will be more lively." ”
Guangdan cleaned up the mat and answered with a smile: "I heard from those housekeepers in the Xiao Mansion that the guys in the shop had delivered goods to Chang'an, saying that it was so big and big, even ten Jiangning Mansions couldn't reach it, and there were all kinds of novel objects, and there were all kinds of people there, and some of them were like black paint, their eyes were like copper bells, and they could eat people when they opened their mouths." ”
Frightened, the bamboo lingfu beside her screamed: "Is that still a human?" Isn't it the Yaksha who came out?! ”
Xiao Rongyue shook his head with a smile: "It's hard for you to dare to hear it, it's not a Yaksha, it's a Kunlun slave, it is said to be from the Western Regions, tall and strong, dark complexion, and many noble mansions have bought it to raise it as a thing." ”
Guangdan smiled embarrassedly: "The maid also listened to what they said, so she said that she wouldn't eat people." ”
Xiao Rongyue nodded at her with a smile: "Just remember to eat, people can't eat." ”
Now even Zheng's mother laughed.
The laughter in the cabin broke the quiet night on the canal, but the darkness not far away was not shaken in the slightest, it was still deep and quiet, so quiet that even the sound of insects could not be heard.
"Bang dang" suddenly a dull sound broke their laughter, and the boat shook with it, Xiao Rongyue smiled and frowned and looked out of the cabin: "What sound?" Go see what's wrong! ”
Zheng's mother left her work, walked out quickly, and greeted the boatman: "What's the matter?" Is something wrong? ”
The old boatman on the bow of the boat looked around with a wind lamp, and said suspiciously: "The water is deep here, how can you trip over something?" ”
Before the words fell, a boat behind it also seemed to have hit something, and the sound was even louder, even heard here, followed by an even more terrifying shout: "Oh no, the bottom of the ship is leaking, someone has scuttled it!" ”
Before Zheng's mother and the boatman could come to their senses, they saw figures standing up in the darkness on both sides of the riverbank, and the feathered arrows were densely packed like a web and shot towards several boats on the canal.
Oh no, something happened! Xiao Rongyue had already heard the movement outside, got up immediately, rushed to the candle in the cabin and blew it out, and said to Sanqi in a deep voice: "Go to the next room in the dark, let none of them make a sound, and come over here quietly." ”
But he walked out with his hands on the bulkhead to see what was going on.
The canal at night was as calm as ever, but at this time it was dark on the water, not only Xiao Rongyue's boat was extinguished, but even the one behind was also extinguished, but in the faint moonlight, she clearly saw that there was a small boat not far from her two boats, which was rushing towards the front.
However, the figures on both sides of the canal did not let go of its meaning, and the arrows in their hands continued to shoot towards the boat, even Xiao Rongyue's two boats, and there were constantly random arrows falling on the deck.
Seeing that the feather arrow had sunk into the deck for a full inch, Xiao Rongyue's heart sank to the bottom, and pulled Zheng's mother over: "Come into the cabin, it's too dangerous here." Then he turned his head and instructed the boatman: "Hurry forward, rush over and it will be fine!" ”
She had no bottom in her heart, the arrow was very deep into the wood, and the speed of the arrow was terrifying, if it weren't for the crossbow arrow, it couldn't do it, but this was Middle-earth, and the crossbow arrow ...... Only the official family has it!
I don't know who was on that boat, or what trouble they were in, but they were dragged into the water!
