Eight times
Passing by those fishing boats, the ship successfully arrived at a port, and before the ship stopped, someone had already come forward to ask if it needed to be unloaded and loaded, and seeing that the ship did not look like an ordinary commercial cargo ship, they all smiled and walked away slowly. Xiao Yi and a few people went to the shore, there were all kinds of people, and many of them were negotiating, and the price was clearly marked, and they were not hidden.
A few people thought it was a novelty, so they wandered around the place, and finally came to a tavern, where they stopped to rest. Finally able to have a good meal on this land, Xiao Yi and a few people are also full of taste, and the wine and meat that this store is good at are really the same. Besides, a few people in the same group have worked hard for so many days, and they have to get some delicious treats, right? Halfway through the wine and dinner, Xiao Yi talked about their plan, that is, to say goodbye to those people here. A few people were very surprised, didn't they say that they would send them to Lin'an Mansion before, why did they suddenly have to separate! The three of them patiently explained for a long time, and only then did they convince a few people. Since you want to separate, then eat and drink more, anyway, how to have a good time, although Xiao Yi can't drink more, but he also has a few more bowls!
This meal was eaten until it was almost dark, and Bai Qing went to settle the settlement, but he actually spent all the money he had on his body, and it was after the other party gave a little discount! Bai Qing came back quietly, saying that he was going to arrange for a few people to stay at the inn! When a few people heard this, they were already drunk, but they suddenly woke up and said that they only wanted to live on the ship, not in any inn! Xiao Yi sent them back to the ship one by one, there are many people coming and going here, and the staff on duty are also specially arranged, you only need to pay some management fees, unless the things on the ship are particularly valuable, generally speaking, it is not a big deal for them to watch. Therefore, although these brothers are not lightly drunk, they should not be fine! Xiao Yi took some things that could be exchanged for money and gave them some things that could be exchanged for money, and told them to take good care of them. A thousand words are endless, so don't say goodbye!
The three of them slowly walked along the coastline, although it was a little dark at this time, but there was still a period of time before it got dark, and the three of them could take advantage of this time to look around and find a good place to go. Even if you can't find a good place to go, it's not cold, and it's not impossible to stay outside!
The three of them chatted while walking, a rare ease and briskness, only listening to Tong Lu.
"I've never seen the sea before, and I think it's so wonderful, but after staying for a long time, I still feel that the land is really good!
Bai Qing smiled,
"Lu Lu, we are penniless now, and this life on the land is not easy!"
Tong Lu hurriedly jumped over, widened his eyes and asked,
"What, penniless?!"
Bai Qing grinned,
"But isn't it! That meal just now has already spent all the money on me! The shopkeeper even said to spare us some, which is barely enough!"
Tong Lu slapped his face and said,
"Oh, really! It's all spent, it's not fun! Oh, no wonder Brother Xiao Yi just gave that guy something worth some cash on his body, it turns out that he has no money at all! Tsk, it looks like I'm going to sleep on the streets tonight, pitiful, pitiful!"
BAI Qingdao,
"I also talked to Brother Xiaoyi, after we go ashore, as long as there are people, then we won't be hungry! My medical skills are acceptable, and it shouldn't be a problem to earn some money for the passage! Lu Lu, you have a good mouth, and you can also help a lot!"
Tong Lu shook his head and replied to her,
"I don't want to do that kind of deception! hehe, so, I'm still collecting money on the sidelines, I'm the best at this!"
As they walked, they said that this place was much bigger than the three of them had imagined, and that it was about to get dark, and the three of them remembered that there had been no settlement in the night, so they looked around for a place where people could live! There was a street in front of them, not very wide, but there were many houses on both sides. Xiao Yi thought about whether to go over and find a home and spend the night. It just so happened that not far away, there was a man and a woman and two children playing in front of the stone steps, looking only three or four years old, Xiao Yi wanted to step forward and ask a few questions, but the door of the house next to him was wide open, and a tall woman poked her head out and shouted,
"Huzi, why don't you bring your sister back, the evil ghosts in the yard will come out in a while, and you can eat both of you in one bite!"
The woman spoke in a shrill voice, and when the two children heard this, they hurriedly threw aside the stones in their hands and ran back quickly. After entering, the door slammed shut, shaking off a cloud of dust. Look at this street again, there is no one again, it is deserted, and when the night comes, the breeze blows a few fallen leaves, and the sound is soft, and it feels even more infiltrating!
Xiao Yi said softly,
"Shall we still ask?!"
Bai Qing shook his head slightly and said,
"I don't think so, they seem to be afraid of something, so let's not bother them anymore. ”
Tong Ludao,
"Hey, didn't the woman say just now, the evil ghosts in the yard will come out to eat people, hiss, do we want to go and see if we can catch two ghosts, and then roast and eat meat!"
Xiao Yi laughed out loud,
"Didn't you say that ghosts only have shadows, and where did they get the meat?"
Tong Lu laughed and said,
"If you don't take a look, how do you know?"
Xiao Yidao,
"We've traveled so much, and we've seen a lot of so-called 'ghosts', which time didn't someone deliberately create them! Hehe, since there are ghosts, let's go and see what is going on!"
The three of them continued to move forward, and the sky slowly darkened, and there were no living creatures on the street except for the three of them, not even a cat or a dog, and so on! But none of them believed in the words of ghosts and gods, so there was nothing terrible! They looked all the way, and it seemed that there was nothing unusual, until the end of the street, and they saw something that was not quite the same! The door was hidden, and the lintel above the head was already crooked, and it was covered with cobwebs and dust, and it was impossible to see what was written. The three of them didn't bother to pay attention to it, Xiao Yi stepped forward and pushed the door, and the door creaked open, which was very harsh!
Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly and said,
"Am I scared people?! I think this place is normal, it's just an abandoned house!"
Tong Lu said with a smile,
"In your eyes, of course, nothing is terrible! Come in quickly, my legs have not walked so many roads for so long, and I am almost unbearable!"
Xiao Yi pushed the door open a little more, and the doll cried even harder. The three of them hurriedly rushed into the door, closed it again, and hid it as before.
The courtyard was full of weeds, and it was more than half a person tall, and I don't know how long it would be unattended before it would look like this! Xiao Yi pulled some dry firewood and cloth strips to make a simple torch, and hit it in front to light the three of them! This weed grew out of the bluestone crack on the ground, and pushed the bluestone straight away, which was really powerful! Xiao Yi stood on his toes and looked at it for a while, and then used a long stick to probe, and found the easiest route to enter. Bai Qingtong Lu followed behind him, actually chatting, it seemed like he was going to hunt ghosts, he was clearly here to play!
I didn't expect this yard to be so big, but most of the yard was full of weeds, and I didn't see anything special! The house had already collapsed, and there were no people to live in, so the three of them looked elsewhere, hey, there was a courtyard gate on this side, and the courtyard wall on one side had collapsed, but it was still standing well. Behind the gate of this courtyard, there must be a backyard, and when the three of them entered the courtyard, it was overgrown with weeds as before. This backyard is not small, and with this firelight alone, it can't see the end.
After walking a few more steps, Tong Lu suddenly pointed to one side, lowered his voice and said,
"Hey, listen, is there any sound over there?!"
Xiao Yi lowered the torch and listened attentively, and indeed heard some sounds,
"Yes, there's some movement!"
Tong Lu was a little flustered at this time, and said busily,
"There's really a ghost here, let's go out first?!"
Xiao Yi smiled,
"Hey, no, didn't you just clamored to come in, why are you scared now?!"
How can Tong Lu admit it, only said,
"No, I just don't want to bother them!"
Xiao Yidao,
"I'm here, don't be afraid! Let's get closer, I'll see what this thing is!"
Xiao Yi identified the direction, extinguished the fire, and led the way for the three with a long stick. Getting closer, Bai Qing suddenly grabbed Xiao Yi, and the three of them stopped again.
"Brother Xiaoyi, I heard clearly, this, this is a person snoring!"
Xiao Yi listened quietly and said,
"Hey, that's true, it's a person, it's a living person!"
Tong Lu was able to do it again at this time, and said,
"Heh, this guy is sleeping here, he wants to scare people to death!
Xiao Yi Baiqing held back a smile in his heart, but Tong Lu's style of acting and speaking skills have long been accustomed to it, and they don't feel it. The three of them went on and felt that the sound was coming from the side of a room, and the snoring became clearer and clearer, and there was no doubt that this was a living person! The three of them stepped lightly over the threshold, and the man was still snoring, and he should not have noticed them. Besides, even if he woke up at this time, it was such a dark night, and he hid in this house casually, how could he find a few people!
Xiao Yi asked Bai Qingtong Lu to stay by the door, and he carried a long stick to investigate, he wanted to see if the evil ghost in the mouth of this neighbor was the person in front of him! The child was so frightened that he cried, but this guy slept so sweetly that he felt angry when he thought about it! Xiao Yi thought to himself, arrest this guy, and then tell the neighbors to know, no one will be afraid of the ghosts in this courtyard in the future!
Xiao Yi was already very close, stretching out a hand to grab the man's throat, he was about to make a move, but there was a sound outside the house, hey, it seemed to be an old man speaking,
"I'm back, I'm back, I'm waiting, my good brother!"
Xiao Yi's heart was shocked, and the hand he stretched out immediately stopped!
