Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sudden Departure
The next day, the wind was lighter, the rain was lighter, and the city gates of Changle County were opened.
After this gale, the merchant ship needed to undergo several days of repairs before it could go to sea again. And Yu Ren and the others were not in a hurry to go to Zhangzhou, so they were in a hurry to leave before, just to avoid the trouble of Li Xianzhong. Now that there is no Li Xianzhong, they are naturally not in a hurry.
So, several people discussed, it is better to go to Changle to find an inn to stay for a few days. Although this Changle is a small county, because of the sea, business is also prosperous, and the scenery is also very good.
Just as Yu Ren and the others were about to go ashore, a small boat rushed towards the merchant ship they were sitting on. Then a man was seen boarding the ship first. This person was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a long robe, and looked like a Confucian scholar. Behind him, followed by a big man.
The first time Yu Ren saw the big man, he felt a little familiar. Getting closer, he finally remembered that this big man was the robber head he met on the way to Fuzhou City that day, and he looked like Li Kui's guy.
At that time, the four of them were about to get off the boat, and when they saw these two people suddenly appear, Ying'er hurriedly ran up. "Mr. Qu, why are you here?" As she spoke, Ying'er pulled the two aside.
Yu Ren didn't know what Mr. Qu was, he was only interested in the big man who was following behind Mr. Qu. He is too much like the robber "Li Kui" he met on the road that day. No, it shouldn't be said to be very similar, it should be said that it is. Yu Ren definitely thought. So he pointed to the big man and asked Li Yu suspiciously, "What?" Does he know you? ”
Li Yu glanced at Yu Ren. "Yes! He's a guy in our firm. It's just because of the long Huaiwu and some strength, so sometimes the shopkeeper goes out and takes him with him as a bodyguard. ”
"He, isn't he the robber head we saw that day?" Yu Ren was still a little unsure.
"Do you mean the gang of robbers who robbed Li Xianzhong that day? It's a bit similar, but it's definitely not. This person's name is Liu Qiang, he has been working in our shop for five or six years, he is from Fujian, he knows the roots, and it is impossible for him to be a robber. However, when you say this, I can remember that the bandit head that day does seem to look very similar to him. ”
When Li Yu was discussing this Liu Qiang and the robber with Yu Ren, Ying'er had already hurried over. She whispered a few words in Li Yu's ear. Li Yu's face changed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Li Yu's sudden angry face, Yu Ren couldn't help but ask.
Li Yu commanded Ying'er, "You go and prepare with them first!" I'll be here in a moment. ”
Ying'er agreed, turned around and followed Mr. Qu and that Liu Qiang. Li Yu turned around and looked at Yu Ren for a long time.
After a long while, Li Yu seemed to have finally made up her mind, she took a deep breath first, and then said, "I'm sorry. In a shop in Hangzhou, something suddenly happened. I need to deal with it right away. It seems that this trip to Changle can only be done by Brother Yu alone. ”
In fact, Yu Ren knew that something was going to happen when he saw the two men coming on the boat to find Li Yu. When he saw Li Yu's expression on himself, he also guessed seven or eight points. But at this time, when he heard the words of separation from Li Yu's mouth, Yu Ren still had some difficulty accepting it.
He felt as if his heart had been hollowed out all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to do. Since the day after he came to this world, Li Yu has always been by his side. It is precisely because of Li Yu's existence that Yu Ren temporarily forgot about the various problems he would face on this journey through time, and also made him not so concerned about the inconvenience of all aspects of this ancient society.
Although they have not been together for a long time, Li Yu has faintly become a spiritual pillar of Yu Ren's life, and it is a good medicine for him to temporarily forget the realization and troubles in front of him. At this moment, Li Yu suddenly said that he was leaving, and Yu Ren's heart suddenly felt a little panicked, just like the mood of a child when he left his parents for the first time and went to a distant place alone.
He wanted to say, I'm fine, so let's go to Hangzhou with you! But on second thought, it's still not quite right.
Because, he still doesn't know what this Li Yu is doing. And the various anomalies displayed in her body add to the mystery of her identity. The contact between the two in the past few days, although it cannot be said that they are friends of life and death, is definitely not an ordinary friend.
But Li Yu never told Yu Ren her identity, and Yu Ren had a hunch that there must be something strange in this. Li Yu obviously didn't want him to know his true identity yet, and she seemed to be deliberately hiding something.
Yu Ren actually knew all this very well in his heart, but he didn't expose it or ask too much.
In the past two days, Li Yu seems to have been paying attention, and if he has something to say to Ying'er, he has tried his best to say it in front of Yu Ren, so as not to treat him as an outsider. But now, Li Yu didn't tell Yu Ren about the matter in front of him. He knew that it must be because Li Yu felt that this matter was not suitable for him to know.
In this case, if he mentioned going to Hangzhou with them again, it would only increase the embarrassment of each other and make Li Yu embarrassed. Therefore, Yu Ren just mentioned it worriedly. "Now that the wind on the sea has not stopped, will it be dangerous for you to leave immediately?"
Li Yu waved his hand. "It's okay. The gale has passed. Later, the wind will get lighter and lighter. Our ship is bigger and stronger than this one, and there will be no problem. ”
Speaking of which. Li Yu stopped, she looked at Yu Ren, as if she had forgotten to speak. Yu Ren also looked at her. The eyes of the two were facing each other, but they were silent.
In Yu Ren's previous life, he began to fall in love with the female classmates in his class since he was in junior high school, and he fell in love no less than 20 times in total. However, he had never felt that kind of feeling in a girl that made him inseparable. He has always been very chic, coming as he says he comes, and leaving as he says. Even if he occasionally shows a little nostalgia, he mostly pretends to coax girls to tears.
But now, Yu Ren really began to feel the heartfelt reluctance.
Their eyes were tightly intertwined, and it seemed that there were countless words to be spoken, and there seemed to be no need to say a word. They just stood and watched......
Until Ying'er hurriedly walked over and interrupted their concentration.
"Miss, Mr. Qu, they are all ready. It's time for us to go! ”
When Li Yu heard this, he lowered his head, then turned around and slowly walked under the boat with Ying'er. She took five or six steps, and suddenly ran back again. Then, Li Yu took out a small flag from his arms and handed it to Yu Ren.
"This, I'll leave it to you. Remember, as long as it's on the southeast coast. No matter what trouble you have, as long as you take it out, someone will come out to help you. ”
Yu Ren didn't notice what was in his hand at all, he still raised his head and looked straight at Li Yu's master and servant who were gradually moving away. Until, the two of them boarded the boat and sailed out of the harbor and disappeared......
"Childe, they're gone." Cao An reminded Yu Ren by his side.
"Ahh Yes! Yu Ren came to his senses and turned around to return to the cabin. He felt weak all over, as if he had just been seriously ill. The flag he was holding fell to the deck, and he didn't care.
"Childe, the flag has fallen." Cao An reminded in a whisper.
Yu Ren looked down. The small flag that fell on the deck was the flag that Fang Ying'er took out and frightened Zhong Liu's soul to scatter.
Yu Ren squatted down lightly, looking at the small flag on the deck in a daze, and he didn't know if he was thinking about the flag or the person.
"Childe, let's go for a walk in the city! Anyway, there are still a few days before the boat sails. Miss Li, they are gone. But as long as there is fate, I believe there will always be a day of goodbye. Cao An looked at Yu Ren's unrelenting appearance, afraid that he would be bored if he stayed in the cabin.
As soon as Cao An's few words of comfort were finished, Yu Ren suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Suffer!" ”
Cao An was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Forget it! It's over, it's over! ”
Yu Ren was still talking to himself, confusing Cao An on the side, and he was very nervous.
"What the hell is going on?" Cao An said loudly.
Yu Ren was awakened by Cao An's voice. "Ahh I mean, I forgot to ask Miss Li where her family lives. I only know that her home is in Zhangzhou, which is too big. Where are we going to find it? Now, how is it good? ”
"Marriage has its own destiny, so why should the son think about it. We will always see each other again. Cao An comforted on the side.
Yu Ren sighed, "I have to think so." After speaking, he also muttered in a low voice, "If only I had a mobile phone!" ”
