Chapter 20: The Boatman
Huo Ling's heart was shocked.
What did she hear, the boss actually called this girl Xiuxiu?
Looking closely, the girl's appearance is indeed very familiar, and she can vaguely distinguish the shadow of her childhood.
It's Xiuxiu, that's right.
This is the little heel with a snot bubble more than ten years ago!
I haven't seen her for many years, but she has grown so big and become a slim beauty!
Huo Ling's heart shook, and her eyes instantly turned red, wrapped in a thick layer of mist.
She had a strong urge in her heart to identify herself at this time and hold the child and cry.
Reason, however, helped her suppress the urge.
She also knew deeply that Gu Yan said this sentence with a sense of vigilance.
Reason finally reappeared in her mind, helping her to forcibly suppress the excitement.
At the same time, Gu Yan suddenly pinched her palm, and his gaze was meaningful.
She was shaken and immediately came to her senses.
"Alas, it's not time to ...... yet"
Huo Ling looked at that delicate face, and finally reluctantly looked away.
But the look in the eyes of this little niece, whom she hadn't seen for many years, made her instinctively sense that something was wrong.
What's weird?
At this time, Huo Xiuxiu was also very annoyed.
These two dog men and women actually started to hook up right under her nose!
Even the little hands are held!
This is something she hasn't even done before!
At this moment, she really has a sense of crisis that her beloved toy has been completely taken away.
These two people are really not simple!
Huo Xiuxiu felt a strong sense of crisis in her heart, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly unconsciously.
On the other side, Pan Zi and Da Kui walked quietly behind and stopped Wuxie.
"Hey, what's the origin of this little third master?"
They were very curious about Gu Yan, who suddenly appeared.
Seeing the attitude of everyone, it is even more itchy.
Wu Xie glanced at Gu Yan, who was walking side by side with Huo Xiuxiu, and whispered:
"I don't know, I just know that it's Xiuxiu's blind date, and the identity is very mysterious."
"The last time we met, it was amazing......"
Innocent recounted the events of that night, his face still unfinished, and his eyes were bright.
This time, I guess they can see the paper figure that makes people's scalps tingle again.
Pan Zi and Da Kui were also stunned when they heard this, and their eyes flashed with shock.
They are well-informed, but they have never encountered such a thrilling thing.
It simply broke their materialistic cognition!
Pan Zi was surprised, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Little Third Master, it's not too strange that there are any characters in this line, but when it comes to going down to the ground, it still depends on our third master!"
"That's right, the third master, you are still young, it is inevitable to be frightened by some strange things, although this kid is better looking than you, but he still has a big beauty like flowers and jade on the ground, just looking at this he can't do it, he is designated as a silver gun wax pole head!"
Da Kui also echoed on the side, looking at Gu Yan's expression full of jealousy and disdain.
Seeing this, Pan Zi couldn't help but scold.
"If you kid looks better, you can take a big beauty with you wherever you go!"
Wu Xie shook his head and didn't continue to fight.
..............
Front of the line.
The more Huo Xiuxiu thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and she felt like she was green on top of her head.
It's clear that he is still on a blind date with himself, but he turns around and goes deep into the barren mountains with another woman!
Now that she's kissing me and me in front of herself, she can't take her too seriously, right?
She felt that it was better for her to take the initiative.
"That, Gu Yan, isn't this girl going to introduce her?"
Huo Xiuxiu was smiling, but there was a hint of murderous aura hidden in it, which made people shudder.
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was still on a blind date with other girls, but now he was caught walking with other women.
It's really not suitable!
For a while, he was a little flustered, as if he had been caught raped in bed!
Gu Yan hurriedly distanced himself from Huo Ling and explained: "Xiuxiu, don't get me wrong, this is my guy in the store, and she is here to help me this time." ”
"Oh, I see......"
Huo Xiuxiu nodded obediently, and her thoughtful look was very cute.
But she was still a little uneasy, with a little suspicion in her eyes.
At this time, Huo Ling was also very keenly aware of something through the dialogue and expression between the two.
The little niece has really grown up, and she has begun to fall in love with her little boyfriend!
I've got to make a secret match!
Huo Ling secretly made up her mind in her heart.
She was naturally very satisfied with Gu Yan.
It's an instinct as a woman.
Judging from this short time together, he should be a person who can be entrusted for life.
Of course, she is also sure that with the existence of her mother Huo Xiangu, it will be impossible for Huo Xiuxiu to suffer.
That's why she's so relieved.
The crowd chatted casually, and after a few minutes they came to the river.
Led by the old man, they saw two boats by the river, but there was no sign on the boats.
"Old man, where is the boatman?"
The third uncle said a little strangely.
"I shouldn't have gotten up yet, so let's wait."
"Haven't gotten up yet? Why don't you call him, this person is really strange, he is so unmotivated to make money? ”
The old man smiled bitterly when he heard this, "You don't know, he is the only boatman near our village, and he is the only one who can cross the river unharmed, so he has a strange temperament, and a few nobles are waiting for him." ”
"Only he can make it?"
The third uncle and the others suddenly became interested.
"How can you say this, is it still impossible to recognize people on this river?"
The old man nodded solemnly, "That's really the case!" ”
He looked at the river and said with a little horror: "Our river is different, there is a river god master, so I only give this boatman a little face." ”
"As long as others enter that cave, no matter how much they can do, they will not be able to get out, and there will be no bones left!"
Afterwards, the old man spoke in detail about the danger of crossing the river, and warned everyone not to offend the boatman.
Otherwise, once it is thrown down, it must be a corpse with no bones left!
Everyone was amazed, but they didn't take it too seriously.
Only the third uncle looked at the dog in the river.
"Donkey Dandan, come here!"
"Wang!"
The little black dog barked and ran over, sniffing wildly on the ground.
The third uncle grabbed the black dog, sniffed it carefully, and suddenly his face changed slightly, and there was solemnity and jealousy in his eyes.
"The smell of corpses, is there something in the cave?"
At this time, Wu Xie also learned to lean over and smell it.
Then he immediately avoided in disgust.
"Hey, this dog hasn't bathed for a long time, it's so sassy!"
Seeing this, Pan Zi immediately laughed, "Haha, little third master, I want to learn from your third uncle, you are still a little tender." ”
A few people were fighting, but the third uncle asked the old man to find the boatman, and then made a look and came to the river with a few points.
"This dog smells of corpses, and it is estimated that he grew up eating dead human flesh!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly became solemn.
"What about the boatman?"
Wu Xie swallowed his saliva, his face a little frightened.
These things were still too far away for his good baby, and when he heard such terrifying information, he immediately panicked.
The third uncle looked solemnly at the cave in the center of the river, and said in a low voice: "That boatman is definitely not simple, even if it is not the snake spirit that the old man said, it is estimated that it is also a role of murder and arson, let's be careful then." ”
After speaking, he looked at Gu Yan again, wanting to get some advice.
However, he found that Gu Yan did not mean to speak, and his expression was calm, as if he did not realize the danger.
The third uncle retracted his gaze helplessly, and turned to Pan Zi and the others to order.
"Remember to take care of your luggage after getting on the boat, the black donkey's hooves and other things are also prepared, the cave is probably a corpse cave, we have to be prepared......"
But Huo Xiuxiu looked at Gu Yan beside her.
"Gu Yan, do you think we will encounter danger this time?"
As soon as the words fell, Gu Yan didn't speak, but Huo Ling spoke first.
"Don't worry, Xiuxiu, boss, he will definitely protect you!"
"Such a delicate beauty, it's too late for the boss hero to save the beauty, how can he be willing to let you be in danger?"
Huo Xiuxiu was speechless for a while, and her mood became more and more unhappy.
At this moment, the old man of the villager also came over with a thin and pale man.
