Boom –

The thunder shook the sky, the wind gathered, and the sky darkened.

The rustling rain is sprinkled on the endless river, and several ships can be seen disappearing from time to time at the end of the view, and the towns on both sides of the river are gradually lit up.

Night Terror Hall was dressed in a black boy's robe with the texture of water cloud brocade, with a saber hanging from his waist, and standing at the bow of the boat with an oil-paper umbrella; The first class behind is full of cloth, tea, porcelain and other miscellaneous goods, covered with oilcloth, and the two disciples of Honghualou are fastening the ropes.

The day before yesterday, I set off from Jiang'an Wharf and sailed along the Qingjiang River day and night for two days, and I will be able to arrive at Xiwang Town, which is located on the border of Yunzhou, tomorrow morning.

There are no entertainment facilities in this world, and running a boat outside is a hard job, except for patrolling back and forth every day to avoid cargo falling and hitting the rocks, it is to practice martial arts on the deck.

Although Sanniang is also on the ship, there are six disciples in the building who pretend to be Lifu on the ship, and as the female head, she has to maintain a master's posture, and it is not appropriate to dress up and talk nonsense, so she has been staying in the cabin with Xiuhe.

The river road from the capital to Xiwang Town is the main waterway for trade in the capital, and the ships are densely populated, and the sailor ships on patrol can be seen at all times, so it is reasonable to say that it is very safe.

But after two days of observation, he still felt that something was wrong, he stood on the bow of the ship and looked back, and saw that there was a small merchant ship behind him, about two miles away, and he couldn't see the number, so he asked:

"Li Jian, whose boat is behind you? Do you know? ”

Li Jian, a young man who fastened the tarpaulin next to the pile of goods, is the grandson of Li Sanwen, the owner of incense.

Li Jian came to him with a bamboo hat when he heard the words, looked at it, couldn't see it clearly, ran into the cabin, took a copper cylinder over, pulled it open and looked at it in front of him:

"Hmm...... Under the banner of Zhang Zi, I have never seen it, and it is estimated that it is a small businessman who runs groceries......"

Night Terror Hall saw the copper telescope, was slightly stunned, and took it to look at the front and rear lenses:

"You still have it?"

Li Jian saw the unexpected appearance of the night terror, and showed pride:

"Cousin Shock, haven't you seen it? This thing is called 'clairvoyant mirror', and it has only spread in Beiliang in recent years. ”

Night Terror Hall is certainly no stranger to telescopes, but it is indeed the first time that they have seen it in this world. He picked up his binoculars and looked behind him, only to see a small cargo ship, full of miscellaneous goods, and a man with a long spear, covering the boat with an oilcloth to protect him from the rain.

At a distance of two miles, it was difficult to see the details of the man's face, and after observing for a while, Night Terror returned the telescope to Li Jian:

"Something is wrong with this ship, it set off the day before yesterday and was hanging behind its ass, not far away. According to the experience of previous darts, there is a high probability that he is stepping on the point and is ready to find an opportunity to rob the dart. ”

"Don't be suspicious, cousin, there are thousands of boats going back and forth every day on this waterway, and it is too normal to have boats on the same road, maybe because of the size of our boat, we deliberately walked together and asked for stability."

When Li Jian said this, he put away the binoculars and motioned to the senior brothers on the boat:

"Besides, there are at most three or five people on that small boat, and our landlord is on the boat, and there are two grandmasters, eleven hall masters, and more than 100 incense masters waiting in Xiwang Town. I really don't believe that someone on the rivers and lakes dares to rob the rudder of Honghualou. ”

Night Terror Hall thought about it, shook his head and smiled:

"Professional habits, it seems that I am overly worried. However, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, the ship behind it still take turns to keep an eye on, and once there is anything unusual in its whereabouts, it will immediately warn. ”

"Don't worry, cousin, I still have this little bit of heart."

After the Night Terror Hall finished explaining, he changed shifts with the disciples of Honghualou and came to the rear of the merchant ship.

As a cargo ship, the living conditions are not good, the aft cabin has only four rooms, and the rest of the people have to live below deck.

Night Terror Hall entered the stern of the ship, and faintly heard a noise from the room:

"Twitter~~"

"Uh-huh~~"

Birds go crazy and women hum.

The corners of Night Terror's mouth hooked slightly, and he walked to Sanniang's door to take a look.

Even the 'captain's room' is not very spacious, clean and plain, with a board bed and tables and chairs, and the windows open at the stern to see the situation in the rear, and nothing else special.

Bird Bird may have gone crazy on the boat, rolling back and forth on the bed and turning his head. Xiuhe sat next to him, smiling and watching.

Sanniang was wearing a light summer dress that exposed half of her white forearms, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, holding a makeup box in her hand, and a thrush slowly.

Originally, the apricot eyes of the water and spirit, under the careful outline, looked a little heroic, and the attractive red lips of the young man became very light.

The appearance is still the same, but it looks serious and cold, a little fierce, huh...... It has the feeling of King Jing, but he suffers in height, and he is not as imposing as Dongfang Stupid.

"Sanniang, why did you paint yourself like this?"

"Young Master Night." Xiuhe hurriedly got up, moved the seat, and went to pour tea again.

Pei Xiangjun put down the makeup box, turned around and raised his cheeks:

"Is it pretty?"

Night Terror sat down in a chair and looked at her cheeks:

"Sanniang is beautiful no matter how she paints, but this makeup, huh...... I think it's a bit fierce. ”

"Hmph~"

Pei Xiangjun picked up the mirror and looked at it: "People rely on clothes, they want to meet the hall masters, if they are gentle and gentle, how can they suppress the scene?" ”

The night terrors were sudden.

There was nothing to do on the boat, and after Pei Xiangjun tossed for a while, maybe he was interested, got up and walked to the back of the Night Terror Hall, untied his black hairband, and let his long hair fall down:

"I'll dress you up too."

Xiuhe was quite interested in this matter, and hurriedly ran over: "I'll come, I'll come......"

Night Terror Hall has always been clean and concise, and he doesn't pay much attention to it, but when he saw that the two women were interested, he didn't refuse, and sat on the stool with his back straight, still tossed by Sanniang and Xiuhe.

Pei Xiangjun held an eyebrow pencil in his hand, drawing his eyebrows closely, very close.

The night terror hall sat upright, originally without evil thoughts, but Sanniang was attached to her, her red lips were no more than a foot away, and she could obviously feel the warm snort blowing on her cheeks.

Call~~~

Night Terror Hall had clear eyes at first, but slowly it felt a little wrong, and I wanted to lean back a little, but behind it was Xiuhe, who was very spiritual, and leaned back to rest on Xiuhe's chest, and in a dilemma, I could only look at the birds who were tilting their heads next to them.

Pei Xiangjun also noticed Night Terror's 'shy' reaction, and the corners of his mouth showed a nonchalant smile, but he didn't say anything, just raised his left hand and covered the placket of the bulging bag with his water sleeve, so as not to make Night Terror Hall uncomfortable.

After working so busy for a long time, the two finally finished their work.

Night Terror Hall was freed from the momentum of the two bread clamps, secretly relieved, picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it - the head is erected with a jade crown, the eyebrows are like knives, and without smiling, it has its own three points of evil, and it looks like a psychopathic crazy critic, both men and women eat it......

"Uh......"

It's hard to put into words.

After looking at it a few times, Xiuhe scratched his head: "The young master doesn't seem to be as good-looking as before, but he's still so handsome~"

Pei Xiangjun also felt that he wouldn't put on makeup for men, so he said stupidly: "The foundation is too good, and you can only add to it if you dress up again, so forget it......"

As he was talking, Pei Xiangjun's eyes moved slightly and looked at the window.

It was already raining heavily, and it was getting dark, and only a few boat lights floating in the distance could be seen on the surface of the black hole, and there was no movement at all.

Seeing this, Night Terror came to the window with his hand on the handle of the knife and glanced at the river behind the merchant ship, but the rain was too strong and the river was a little choppy, and the environment was too complicated to see anything.

"What's wrong?"

"The sound of the water is not right."

Pei Xiangjun has been in Pei's house for many years, and he has often gone out to run boats, and his sailing experience is much richer than that of the night terror hall on land, reminding:

"Ten zhang away from the right side of the stern of the boat, something is swimming on the water, either a finless porpoise, or a person from the rivers and lakes is secretly approaching."

Night Terror pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and his eyes focused on the surface of the river:

"Shall I go down and have a look?"

"When I found someone at the window, the master already knew how to startle the snake and ran away a long time ago. There are a lot of water ghosts who steal merchant ships in Qingjiang, it is estimated that we see the size of our ship, and if you want to come to fight the autumn wind, you don't need to care, just pay more attention at night. ”

Night Terror Tang wanted to stay in the house and protect Sanniang all night, but after thinking about it, Sanniang looked gentle and gentle Lin Daiyu, but she could actually uproot the weeping willows, there were really thieves on the boat, and Sanniang protected him almost the same.

Therefore, he didn't open his mouth to provoke Sanniang's eyes, turned around and said goodbye and returned to the next room, lying on the bed, the knife did not leave his body, and paid attention to the movements around the merchant ship......
