Chapter 152: Frequent Vinegar
The group of blackbirds that flew up in the woods fluttered in the air for a while, and then flew in the direction of the banyan tree, hovering at the top of the canopy, and never landed.
Tang Anshu cautiously walked a few steps to the edge of the banyan tree, and after keeping a certain distance from the swamp, he looked up at the group of black birds in the sky.
"What's wrong?" Gu Feng asked in a low voice.
Tang Anshu lowered his head and looked around: "I heard the sound of birds before, but when I opened my eyes, I saw a figure standing in front of me, but the speed of that person was very fast, and he disappeared in an instant. ”
Gu Feng looked around: "Disappeared in an instant?" So fast? ”
Tang Anshu said: "It shouldn't be an illusion, it's all because we're too tired." ”
After that, Tang Anshu opened his pocket watch and took a look: "It's the fifth watch, I didn't expect to close my eyes and open my eyes again, it will be so long." ”
Gu Feng looked into the distance: "The sun is coming out, let them sleep for a while, get some hot food, and get ready to go." ”
"Adjutant Gu, I'll go ahead and have a look." After Tang Anshu finished speaking, he straightened his clothes, checked the pistol, and walked towards the edge of the woods in front of the big banyan tree with a knife.
Gu Feng stood on the edge of the extinguished bonfire with his knife, observed for a while, and after making sure that there was no situation, he prepared to light the bonfire again.
Tang Anshu came to the edge of the woods, and he originally wanted to move forward, but he had a strange feeling coming at him, as if something in the woods was staring at him.
Tang Anshu stood there, looking into the woods, but because it was not yet dawn, he couldn't see anything, and the cool breeze happened to blow from the direction of the swamp behind him, causing him to shiver after standing for a while.
Oops. Tang Anshu suddenly thought of something, quickly turned around and came to the banyan tree, and said to Gu Feng: "Adjutant Gu, hurry up and wake everyone up, we have to go." ”
Gu Feng was puzzled: "Why? It's not dawn yet. ”
"Have you forgotten? Yesterday Ah Xiang said that the wind blows from north to south, from the direction of the low hills into the marshland, and then blows into the woods, and every day at noon, the direct sunlight will cause the swamp to produce a poisonous mist, and when the wind blows, it will blow into the forest, even if we are still in the woods, we will definitely be poisoned. Tang Anshu said and began to shake Yexin awake.
Gu Feng also immediately woke up Tang Hualong, Ah Xiang, and the other three pirates.
After Tang Anshu explained the matter clearly, Ah Xiang immediately said: "I almost forgot about this matter, without further ado, let's set off immediately." ”
Ye Xin rubbed her eyes and said reluctantly, "I haven't washed yet." ”
A pirate said, "Princess, it's not safe now, and when it's safe, let's wait for the princess to wash up." ”
Ah Xiang was disgusted when she looked at Yexin's appearance, picked up a thousand bags and walked forward, throwing down a sentence: "Hypocrisy." ”
"Hypocrisy?" Yexin didn't understand what that meant, and asked Tang Anshu, "Brother Anshu, what does hypocrisy mean?" ”
Tang Anshu couldn't explain, but said, "It's nothing, let's go." ”
Yexin is not stupid: "Anyway, if you can say anything good from her mouth, it must be a curse." ”
As she spoke, Yexin shouted at Benzoin, who was far away, "Hey, ugly bastards. ”
Benzoin stood up suddenly, turned around and said angrily, "What did you say? ”
"Ugly!" Yexin stood there with a look of disdain, "If you call me hypocritical, I'll call you ugly, and we're even." ”
"You-" Benzoin pointed at Yexin and was about to rush over, but Gu Feng hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
Gu Feng said in a low voice: "Okay, more things are better than less, everything will wait until you leave Fengyan Island safely." ”
Benzoin held back that breath, watched the proud Yexin turn around and leave with the ancient wind.
Tang Anshu frowned slightly, stepped forward and said to Yexin: "Princess Yexin, we are in danger, if we are not united, let alone find Muling Jane, it will be difficult to even live, so please think twice about everything." ”
Yexin said: "Brother Anshu, you also saw it, she scolded me first." ”
Tang Anshu said: "Princess Yexin, people are different, and when different people get together, there will definitely be conflicts and contradictions, so everyone should tolerate this matter and take into account the overall situation." ”
Yexin originally wanted to argue, but after thinking about it, she said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, bear with me!" ”
Tang Anshu smiled: "That's great, Princess Yexin, let's go." ”
Ye Xin saw Tang Anshu smiling, and also smiled: "I like to see you laugh, you smile very gently." ”
Tang Anshu's face turned red, and he didn't say anything, and continued to move forward.
Ye Xin stood there, looking at Tang Anshu's back and biting her lip, without hiding the admiration on her face.
However, no one noticed Tang Hualong, who had been silent, Tang Hualong observed everyone, turned around and glanced back in the direction of the swamp, and then took a step forward.
The moment he walked into the woods, Tang Anshu still felt that he was being stared at by someone all the time, and it seemed that the person's gaze had never left him.
After walking in the woods for a while, the ancient wind and benzoin at the front stopped, and Tang Anshu stepped forward and said, "Why did you stop?" ”
Gu Feng looked ahead and said, "Look." ”
Tang Anshu saw that the woods in front of him had been flooded, but strangely enough, there were dilapidated suspension bridges hanging between the trees, and there were wooden stakes in some places below.
Benzoin squatted down and dipped her hand in some water, put it in front of her nose and sniffed: "The smell of rancidity, and there is a smell of the sea, these are seawater." ”
Gu Feng also smelled something: "This is an island, how can there be sea water?" Could it be that we went in the wrong direction and crossed the island? ”
"Impossible." Yexin stepped forward and said, "But this is a sign that we have reached the edge of the sea lake. ”
Tang Anshu looked at the suspension bridges: "If the legend is true, then Princess Yexin is right, we are getting closer and closer to the location of Mu Lingjian, there is a sea lake in the center of Fengyan Island, the reason why it is called sea lake is because the lake is also sea water, I think, it should be connected to the sea under the island." ”
When Tang Anshu was about to do the analysis, Ye Xin waved his hand and said, "Go to the bridge!" ”
Tang Anshu grabbed Yexin's wrist who was about to come forward: "Princess Yexin, be cautious, what if there is a trap on the bridge?" ”
Ye Xin didn't break free of Tang Anshu's wrist, and actually held Tang Anshu's hand in turn: "Brother Anshu, didn't you say it before?" If you don't hurry, the poisonous fog will blow through. ”
Benzoin watched all this, jumped directly on the rickety suspension bridge in front of him and walked forward, Gu Feng immediately followed behind, and Tang Hualong also followed.
Tang Anshu let go of Yexin's hand: "Princess, let's go." ”
At this time, Tang Anshu was extremely worried, he didn't understand why Yexin was so interested in him? He felt that he was not outstanding, in terms of appearance and ability, Gu Feng was far above him, and other men were much stronger than him.
Therefore, every time Yexin has this kind of closeness, he will quickly judge the other party's purpose.
Did the Paper Bodhisattva tell her to do this? Tang Anshu secretly observed Yexin, but did not find anything suspicious from her.
Does she really like me? How is it possible, how can a girl like me like me, let alone a fairy like Yexin......
Tang Anshu came back to his senses and helped Yexin on the suspension bridge, and everyone walked cautiously on the suspension bridge, while being vigilant for possible sudden danger.
Strangely, there seems to be no danger in this forest, which has been flooded by the sea lake, except that some of the drawbridges will collapse directly if they are stepped on because they are too rotten.
Near noon, the eight of them finally walked out of the water forest and stood on the suspension bridge and looked at the sea and lake outside the forest.
"This is Hai Hu?" Tang Hualong grabbed the suspension bridge and sighed, "It's so big, it looks bigger than the Qian Lake in Yongcheng, and it doesn't seem to be able to see the edge." ”
Tang Anshu nodded and said: "Yes, the sea and lake on the island are so big, you can imagine how big Fengyan Island is, we went straight in, almost no detour, we walked for two days, and we only arrived at the sea lake." ”
Gu Feng half-squinted his eyes and looked into the distance: "If you want to walk all over the island, you can't spend ten days and half a month." ”
Yexin looked around: "Without a boat, how can we get there?" ”
Benzoin turned to look at the back of the forest, and then took the ancient wind telescope and looked at it carefully: "The poisonous fog has been blown into the forest, and if we don't think about it, we will all be poisoned." ”
Just when everyone was in a hurry, Tang Anshu found that there seemed to be something in the water, he squatted down and looked carefully, and pointed to the water under a few big trees in the forest: "Look, what is there?" ”
Everyone looked down and didn't see clearly, so they had to carefully grasp the suspension bridge and slowly lean down to look.
After looking at it for a while, Ye Xin said happily: "Boat! The boat is underneath! ”
Gu Feng also nodded and said, "It turns out that the ship is underwater?" And it was loaded with stones, and it seemed that someone did it on purpose, just to prevent the people who came here from finding a boat to cross the lake. ”
Benzoin raised his eyes and looked around and said, "It seems that there have always been people guarding Muling Jian on Fengyan Island. ”
"That's right." Tang Anshu also looked around, "Everyone be careful, from the moment I entered the forest, I felt that someone was watching us." ”
Tang Anshu's words made everyone nervous, and when Tang Hualong was about to go into the water, Ye Xin stopped him and said: "You don't have to go, the work on the water is our forte." ”
Saying that, Ye Xin actually got up and took off her coat, Tang Anshu, Gu Feng and Tang Hualong immediately turned their heads, and the three pirates also hurriedly bowed their heads, one of them bowed his head and said: "Princess, the three of us can go into the water and scoop up the boat, you don't need to do it yourself." ”
Taking off his coat, Yexin, who was exposed to the water-sheltering suit, stood there: "I have to go into the water!" Otherwise, some people will have to call me hypocritical! ”
Ye Xin said and glanced at Benzoin, and jumped directly into the water, the three pirates saw this, and they didn't care about taking off their clothes, and entered the water one after another, worried that something would happen to this male, they might as well die here.
Tang Anshu also subconsciously glanced at Benzoin, and Benzoin would be wrong: "Tang Anshu, what do you mean?" Distressed? Think I shouldn't have called her hypocritical? ”
Tang Anshu immediately said: "No, Ah Xiang, don't misunderstand. ”
Benzoin said: "Don't be so affectionate!" ”
