I spread out my right hand that had been held by Mr. Pan, stared at the empty palm, and tried to recall the few words that Mr. Pan had said to me when he was leaving.
"I've been grabbed by someone, and I have to have a good time reminiscing, huh?"
A cold voice suddenly appeared behind him, revealing an indescribable strange taste, "I have been pretending to be a brother for a few days with the prince, you really forgot that you are a girl." โ
His words that he didn't know what to say instantly aroused the fire in my nest last night, and turned to sneer at him: "Yes, I have never been a qualified girl's family, and the girl's family should be like a cloud ballad, meet with her sweetheart under the moon, convey affection, and tell him earnestly." โ
Qin Lang raised his eyebrows and glanced at me, "At this point, people are indeed more understanding than you." โ
I thought he was acting on the spot, but I didn't want him to admit it! My heart seemed to be stabbed by his words, and something gushed out that I didn't know whether it was sore or painful, which quickly filled my chest, causing me to choke up a little when I spoke, "Then I want to congratulate my lord, I got an empathetic confidante, but now that we are gone, why don't you take her with you?" โ
At this point, I realized that I hadn't seen the shadow of the cloud rumor since this morning.
"She did what she had to do, and naturally went back to where she was supposed to be." Qin Lang replied vaguely, "It's you, when you became so familiar with the prince of the world, it surprised me." โ
At the mention of Pan Gongzi, I couldn't help but look down at my empty palm again: "I'm also very surprised, and I can't figure it out......"
Qin Lang's tone became more and more awkward: "I can see it to an outsider, why should you pretend to be confused." โ
"What I don't understand is," I raised my palm and faced Qin Lang, "He took the opportunity to speak and wrote the word 'peace' in my palm, what did it mean?" โ
At this moment, even Qin Lang was stunned.
Peaceful......
If it was just a blessing, Pan Gongzi could have said it directly, and he didn't have to write it solemnly in my palm.
He must have wanted to convey some important message to me, and this message had to do with peace.
Is it a person, or a place......
I thought hard about it, but Qin Lang's face over there was clearly cloudy and clear, and the strange awkwardness of Fang Cai was swept away, and even his tone returned to his previous soft and clear tone: "Don't think about it yet, the noon sun is very poisonous, go back to the cabin to cool down." โ
However, the girl and I may have been influenced by the fat man, and I was infected with a hysteria of "I can't think of an answer and I won't give up", I sat in the cabin and was stunned all morning and noon, and even at lunch, Qin Lang put some dishes in my bowl, I don't know very well.
It was not until the afternoon that our merchant ship joined up with the long-awaited "Flower Ship for Relatives".
The surface of this ship is disguised to be low-key and simple, but if it falls into the eyes of those who care, some clues can still be seen.
On the surface, it is a grain ship, but in fact it has a much deeper draft than an ordinary grain ship, and it is obvious that there is a lot of weight hidden on the ship.
"Where's your eldest brother?" Qin Lang asked the man who was dressed as a boatman and came to greet him.
The man's black and red face showed a smile that could not be contained: "The eldest brother said that he prepared good wine on the north shore of the lake and waited for you, and if you successfully crossed the lake, he would catch the wine with you; If you ...... Ahem, he was accidentally caught by the lake monster, and he sacrificed the wine with you...... My lord, this is the original words of our big brother! Words! โ
Qin Lang's face turned red and white for a while, and he said coldly, "When I cross the lake, I will definitely send him to see Meng Po first, and then sacrifice the wine to him." He turned to me who was secretly having fun, and said, "Go back to the Bai family's boat and let them cross the lake before sunset." โ
"What about you?"
"Ghosts are infested, so naturally you have to stay at night when the wind is high."
You want to drive me away...... The girl rolled her eyes, "The ship is realistically arranged, but a key figure is missing...... What about the girl who is going to be a bride? โ
The black and red man grinned: "Girl, we really prepared a ......"
We followed the black and red man into the cabin, and sure enough, we saw a woman in red sitting in the cabin with her back to us, and her back looked reluctant.
The black and red man coughed awkwardly: "The pillar ......"
Pillar? This girl's name is really ......
The moment the pillar girl turned around, I almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
It is no exaggeration to say that the black and red man in front of him is a bride, and he is a little better looking than this "pillar girl".
In the next second, the pillar girl was already crying, and she smiled at Qin Lang, who was smiling and enduring hardship, again and again: "My lord, I beg you, you can spare me!" It's a pity that I haven't married yet, this matter has spread, and it is estimated that I will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in my life! โ
I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and decided to say something fair: "This pillar brother has a point, as long as he stops at the bow of the boat, he is more evil than lying on the flag, and he doesn't dare to come out of any ghost boat and lake monster." โ
Although Qin Lang was reluctant, he had to admit that a beautiful girl was needed in this play.
The sunset melts gold, the twilight clouds are combined, and the Gaoyou Lake in the twilight has a magnificent beauty, which makes the girl standing on the bow of the boat in a red wedding dress feel a little heroic in my heart.
turned around, and saw the long figure in a dark robe.
After all, this is the third time I have seen him on the bow, once on the Bai family's cargo ship, once on ...... In dreams.
The two completely different ways of seeing each other suddenly made me feel a little confused, and I didn't know how to deal with myself this time.
He took the initiative to take two steps forward, and a pair of soft light like rippling in the eyes of a water phoenix made my face burn.
"I know I'm weird." I was a little shy, and lowered my eyes to look at the bright red hem of my dress fluttering in the wind.
Caught me off guard, he lifted his finger and brushed the hair on my forehead.
"It's beautiful, you look like a bride."
His tone, gentle with a hint of bitterness, stirred up a warm sour in my heart.
Me and him shouldn't be like this, far and near, if they are about to be separated.
Qin Lang...... "I suddenly gained the courage to ask him something.
But at that moment, two fishing boat-like dinghys sped past our side, making a huge splash and causing the cargo ship to shake a few times under our feet.
Qin Lang's face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously protected me with his body, and whispered in my ear: "Go back to the cabin, hurry!" โ
My heart sank: what should come is coming after all!
However, after two fishing boats that looked like lake bandit spies passed, Gaoyou Lake returned to calm.
The brocade guards who pretended to be shipwrights on the flower boat were all on guard, and I, Qin Lang, clearly forbade me to take another half step out of the cabin.
So the girl and I had to be bored until we fell asleep in an atmosphere like a great enemy.
Half-asleep and half-awake, I vaguely saw myself in a red wedding dress, grabbed Qin Lang's placket at the bow of the boat and asked domineeringly, "You! Will you marry me? โ
But before I could hear the answer, I felt the hull of the boat under my feet tremble violently, and a huge octopus arm suddenly burst out of the water, wrapped around my waist and dragged me into the water......
I woke up from my dream in an instant, only to find that the deck under my feet was shaking violently!
I ran out without saying a word.
The ghost boat, the legendary ghost ship of Gaoyou Lake, really appeared in front of me at this moment!
The ghost ship was very different from ordinary merchant ships, it was very large and could fly on the lake. As it got closer, I saw that the bow and sides of the ship were deliberately covered with bones, and it looked very terrifying.
Come to think of it, the boatmen had never seen such a ship, and naturally the more it spread, the more evil it became. Fortunately, girl, I have paid close attention to Zheng He's fleet to the West not long ago, and I can recognize at a glance that this so-called "ghost ship" is actually a somewhat dilapidated sea warship.
At this moment the ship was speeding towards our ship, and the wind and waves were stirring up along the way, and the deck beneath my feet was shaking more and more violently.
I barely stood up straight, and when I looked up, I saw a dozen iron eagle claws suddenly shoot out from the eyes of the battleship, which were firmly nailed to the bow of our merchant ship, and with a single pull, our ship reluctantly joined the ghost ship.
Immediately after, with a terrifying scream, I saw some strangely shaped "living dead" rushing out of the cabin of the ghost ship with large knives.
In the moonlight, their bloody, hideous-looking, half-foot-long tongues certainly scared me to the point of weakness.
However...... I looked at the figure of these living dead scrambling to climb onto our merchant ship in the moonlight, and let out a sneer in my heart:
How can there be a shadow of a dead man?
The girl who had figured this out felt a little relieved, and saw that these lake bandits, disguised as the living dead, had already engaged the brocade guards on our ship, who were disguised as boatmen, and were fighting fiercely. Although all the brocade guards are not idle people, they can't stand the appearance of the lake bandits and are terrifying, and it is difficult to gain the upper hand for a while.
I was hesitating whether to join the fight or go back to the cabin to dodge when I was caught up in the cold by a thick arm from behind.
"Yo, there's a beautiful lady from his grandmother here!"
My mind moved: this voice is somewhat familiar. Then he lifted his leg and kicked him the knee, and when he reflexively bent his knee, he reached out and grabbed him in the face.
A terrifying mask of human skin was ripped off, revealing a leopard-eyed, grasshopper-whiskered face.
"Sure enough, it's you!" It seems that Qin Lang's previous speculation was completely correct.
"The little lady recognizes me?" Although Yan Ye was in pain, he didn't let go of his arm that imprisoned me, and he shamelessly touched my face, "You are also from Jinling?" โ
Bastard...... I stepped back and bent my knees, trying to give him a heavy over-the-shoulder throw, but I was able to do it with all my strength, but I found that it was like a mountain, and I couldn't shake it in the slightest.
I saw Qin Lang treat him to death with one hand, thinking that this guy was just a coward who was strong on the outside, but he didn't expect that there was some real kung fu.
"It's quite spicy," this guy said with a cruel smile in my ear, "Tell me obediently, where are all your gold, silver, jewelry, and dowry hidden, and my lord has even collected all the dowries, and I will have a cave with you tonight, how about it?" โ
