Chapter 82: Approaching the Boat
Which boat will it be?
Gu Jiu stood on the edge of the lake, looked at the seven or eight boats in the lake, and muttered to himself.
"Grandpa, who are the people in this boat?" Gu Jiu stopped the old man who picked up the lanterns by the lake and asked.
"A big family."
The old man hunched his back and said a little mockery in his tone, as if he was disdainful and envious.
"One boat per family?"
"Then who knows, this ship was built by the magistrate and then by the magistrate, who knows how many."
After speaking, he glanced at a few boats in the middle of the lake, turned back to Gu Jiu and said angrily: "There's nothing to see, let's go back quickly." Half-grown children don't stay with their elders, beware of being sold by tooth dealers! ”
"Okay, thank you grandpa for informing me." Gu Jiu nodded in response.
"Didn't you let go?"
The old man walked for less than two steps and suddenly turned around, and found that Gu Jiu was still standing in the distance, and scolded loudly. The beard that had grown savagely showed a bit of the majesty of the elders in that scolding, making his whole image a lot taller.
Gu Jiu was at a loss for a moment, and hurriedly nodded and left when the old man was about to lift his crutches.
……
The lake water in early spring was still a little biting, Gu Jiu found an inconspicuous position, put away his coat, and after adapting to the water temperature, he slowly swam towards the painting boat under the protection of the night. The old man's reaction was very strange, there must be an unknown side in this painting boat.
However, just a few seconds after Gu Jiu went into the water, Ling Yang came over.
"Madame, have you ever seen a little girl of such height, dressed in red and white?" Suzu said, gesturing.
"It looks like it's on the other side of the lake."
"Okay, thank you!"
Suzuo ran to the lake and looked around but didn't see anyone. Looking at the painting boat in the middle of the lake, Suzuo sighed irritably. This boat looks good, but it is actually a place for those big families looking for excitement. Once you are caught by mistake, it is difficult to get out of it.
Suzuo looked at the empty lake around him, and then looked carefully around the painting boat, and saw that there was no trace of the boat swimming, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I want to come to Xiao Jiu to go elsewhere.
On the other side, as Gu Jiu got closer and closer to the painting boat, he could already hear the faint laughter inside.
Thirty meters away from the painting boat, Gu Jiu leaned out of the water, looked at the guards who were not far away and glanced at the water from time to time, and took a sharp breath and sank under the water again.
There were seven boats in the middle of the lake, and they were almost connected to each other in a circle. Gu Jiu swam to the corner of the nearest painting boat, as the distance got closer and closer, only to find that this is a kind of painting boat called "untied boat", this kind of painting boat is a kind of building built on the water in imitation of the ship type, because the lower part of the hull is made of stone, so it can't move like a boat, Gu is called "not tied to the boat".
The moment he swam to the destination and poked out of the water, the sound around him returned to normal, and the roughness of the man mixed with lust and the charm of the girl exploded together, which shocked Gu Jiu.
Do you have such a good time?
Gu Jiu carefully observed the seven ships underwater, trying to find clues from them and judge the ships where Gu Cheng was being held.
But after looking for two laps, except for the temperature on his body getting lower and lower, there was no other gain. Just when Gu Jiu was about to go back first, a familiar figure suddenly walked out of the painting boat opposite-Shao Baisi.
"He's here to help find Gu Cheng?" Gu Jiu secretly guessed in his heart, and then dived underwater again and swam towards the painting boat where Shao Baisi was.
At that time, Shao Baisi was leaning on the railing to breathe fresh air, his eyes fell on the surface of the lake, looking at the ripples in the wind, and suddenly realized that there were people underwater.
"Little Master Xie, is this not in good health again?"
Without waiting for Shao Bai Si to take a closer look at the water, another person came out of the painting boat, looking at Shao Bai Si leaning on the railing, Yin and Yang Strange Qi.
Shaobaisi turned around, and the person who came was Wang Jin, a cousin of the Wang family.
"Wang Jin, be cautious in your words and deeds, this name doesn't match you at all."
Wang Jin took two steps forward and walked in front of Shao Baisi, and asked meaningfully, "You were forced to come this time." ”
"It's not."
"Cut, what are you pretending to be in front of me. I know a lot better than you what this place is! ”
While speaking, Wang Jin turned his head to look at Shao Baisi, and his temperament seemed to be natural: "I heard that you have a crush on a little girl, Xie Yunyan, you don't have to think about it, you have been sick for so many years before, and the Xie family can't even get out of the door in charge of you, but now they are forcing you to come here, guess why?" ”
"Why?"
"Tsk, of course I don't agree that you like that little girl!"
Shao Bai Si / Gu Jiu: ...... You're smart.
"You're thinking too much." Shao Baisi pushed him away, intending to walk to the other side of the painting boat, and he was now basically sure that it was Gu Jiu who was underwater.
"Don't go, I can help you."
Hearing this, Shao Baisi stopped, looked at Wang Jin's smug expression, and wondered for a moment if he had taken the wrong medicine. Didn't this person look down on him and think that he was destined to be married to a mother who was married to a Ming media? Right now, do you want to help him?
"No, you don't."
"You don't believe me?"
"I don't believe it."
"Aren't you afraid that she will completely disappear from Cloud City?"
Gu Jiu: I'm colder than ice now, and no matter how much my mother-in-law goes down, I want you to drown in this lake!
Wang Jin thought that Shaobaisi would be moved after saying that sentence, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't listen to it this time, and left directly.
"It's quite capable of acting."
After Shaobaisi left, Wang Jin sneered. Gu Jiu vaguely heard this sentence and only felt that he wanted to laugh, silly boy, his true colors are acting. A person with a clear purpose and a love of interests has so many feelings.
"Have you found Gu Cheng?"
On the other side of the painting boat, Gu Jiu poked his head out and asked.
Shao Baisi shook his head: "It's almost time, you go back first." If Shi Qiusheng wants to bring you over, you run. It's not like you can come here, you should hear what's going on inside, right? Almost all the people in Cloud City who can speak are here, and your presence will break their veil of hypocrisy, and no one will be able to save you at that time. ”
"The magistrate is also there?"
"Hmm."
"What about Gu Cheng?"
"I'll help you find it."
Gu Jiu thought for a moment, nodded, and then turned around and swam quickly towards the lake. After swimming for a while, she heard Shi Qiusheng's voice in a trance, and when she looked back, with the help of the flickering light, she saw a person who looked very much like Shi Qiusheng's back.
Although it has not yet reached the appointed time, there are no ships around here, so how will Qiusheng pass by later?
Sensing the coldness on his body, he didn't have time to think more, Gu Jiu quickly swam towards the shore. By the time he stood on the ground again, Gu Jiu had already had symptoms of hypothermia.
didn't have time to find a more hidden place, so Gu Jiu directly put on a dry coat and cut off the soaked underwear with a dagger. Then he walked quickly to the nearest stall, ordered a large bowl of steaming wonton, and drank the hot soup in it little by little.
By the time Gu Jiu made sure that he was back to normal, the agreed time had passed.
"Twenty minutes late, are you really not afraid that the master will be unhappy and kill him." Looking at Gu Jiu, who came in a hurry, Shi Xuyao said expressionlessly.
"It's not me who died, so why should I be afraid?"
Shi Xuyao didn't speak, just stared at Gu Jiu's gaze becoming more and more unfriendly. Gu Zheqi can be bad like that, how good can Gu Jiu, who has a blood connection with him, be?
"Didn't Master Shi come?"
"You're too late, the master went to the painting boat, you come with me."
As Shi Xuyao took two steps, Gu Jiu saw that there was a small raft parked by the lake behind the tree. Shi Xuyao jumped up directly, picked up the wood pulp on the raft and waved it at Gu Jiu.
"Come up." Seeing that Gu Jiu still didn't move, Shi Xuyao's tone was impatient.
"I'm not going."
"What did you say?"
As if a little incredulous, Shi Xuyao asked rhetorically, and after getting an answer again, he jumped directly off the raft and strode in front of Gu Jiu with the wood pulp.
"Are you happy that man is dead?"
"What?" Gu Jiu looked at the annoyed Shi Xuyao and was confused.
"I said, what's the difference between you and Gu Zhiqi?"
Gu Jiu was stunned, and he didn't expect that there was any difference between her not going on the raft and Gu Zhiqi: "Shi Xuyao, there is no comparison between me and Gu Zhiqi, he is him, and I am me." ”
"Not necessarily."
Shi Xuyao's eyes were cold, and his gaze at Gu Jiu was extremely unkind. Gu Jiu Yuguang skimmed the solid raft in his hand and prepared to escape.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"Today's raft, you can get on it, and you can get on it!"
"Shi Xuyao, there are so many people around here, aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of the Shi family?" Gu Jiu raised his chin and motioned for the other party to pay attention to the nearby people who were watching because of their movements.
Shi Xuyao didn't turn his head, stared at Gu Jiu without blinking, and after a moment, he slowly spoke: "What's the difference between your complacent appearance and Gu Zhiqi?" ”
Gu Jiu: ...... What a serious illness you have!
Gu Jiu took two steps back, paying attention to Shi Xuyao's movements as he retreated, for fear that the solid wood board would fall down as soon as he had a convulsion.
"You're going to escape on your own?" Shi Xuyao asked affirmatively.
Gu Jiu: ......
"Shi Xuyao, there is a debtor who is wronged. Miss Shi's death, don't say that Shi Qiusheng is responsible, even you are responsible! So many people in your family have put Gu Zhiqi in twice in a row, I don't even know how you take care of the patient! ”
"If it weren't for the fact that Miss was taken to your place by that brute, how could there have been any future?" Shi Xuyao seemed to be asked about the hard thorn in his heart, and shook the wood pulp violently, and the wind that he brought up brushed Gu Jiu's face, pushing and slamming the wood pulp on the tree next to him. There was a snap and it broke into two sections.
The surrounding spectators were also taken aback by the sudden change and stood farther away.
"Then why did you go! You, a martial arts practitioner who has been by Miss Shi's side since childhood, how could it be so easy for him to take people away! Gu Jiu also looked up, his voice increased, and his tone was accusatory: "Shi Xuyao, let me tell you, Gu Zhiqi is not the only one who insulted Miss Shi at the beginning, if it weren't for Shi Qiusheng who troubled me several times, I wouldn't have been able to get out, I would have gone back to find out the others!" ”
Shi Xuyao chuckled, not believing it at all.
"Can you be so kind? Then Gu Cheng is your relative, and those who are related to you can see death regardless of it, will you help others? ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu's eyes condensed slightly, his brain calmed down, and his expression became much more serious.
"Shi Xuyao, do you know what will happen if I get on the raft with you?"
"Hmph, of course it's to take out some benefits to that person."
"Will die." Actually, it's not right, she's still useful now, that group of people won't let her die so soon.
Shi Xuyao paused for two seconds, and suddenly said, "Okay." ”
Without waiting for Gu Jiu to react to what this sentence meant, the people on the west side suddenly exclaimed, and Gu Jiu followed the sound and saw that it was Gu Wensheng! He's not dead? Shi Qiusheng didn't kill him, but kept it to deal with her!
