"Hello~!"

A sneeze sounded, and a soaking wet scholar covered his body and shivered a little. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although everyone was sent ashore by the Eight Kings before, avoiding the possibility of falling into the river and drowning, but being drenched by the river, and now the evening breeze is blowing, these weak scholars who are powerless began to catch a little cold, and sneezed one by one.

It's not winter, it's just autumn, and if it's winter, I'm afraid it's going to kill someone.

"Let's hurry back to the city, I was delayed a little before, and it's getting late. Li Xiuyuan looked at the sky and said immediately.

Zhu Yu twisted his wet clothes and looked at it: "Everyone here has fallen into the water, why is it that only Brother Li has not fallen into the water? Even the maidservants around me have not fallen into the river, so I am envious of my waiting." ”

Everyone on the boat was soaked, except for Li Xiuyuan and the maidservants Xiaodie and Du Chunhua beside him.

And the fact that they are okay is also thanks to Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Maybe I was lucky, so the eight kings of the river temporarily rescued me and saved me from the danger of falling into the river." ”

"No, don't talk about this, let's go back to the city quickly, I'm afraid the city gate will be closed if it's too late." Wang Ping also said with a chill.

"yes, I almost forgot about closing the gates. There are also scholars who pat their heads and think about it.

"Quick, pack up your salutes, and we'll hurry back to the city. ”

If it's too late, the few of them will have to spend the night in the wilderness.

Everyone hurriedly packed up their salutes and prepared to hurry back to the city.

Li Xiuyuan naturally followed them back to the city, but when he left, he thought of something, took out one or two hundred silver from the salute and handed it to the boatman.

"Boatman, this time your boat sank into the river, causing you heavy losses, this hundred taels can be regarded as my compensation to you, and the remaining silver taels should be handed over to the boatman's family, so that others will suffer a little less loss. ”

"This, how can this work. The boatman was flattered and said, "How can I ask for this son's money." ”

"We also have some responsibility for this matter, if it weren't for this trip, you wouldn't have encountered such a thing, you can accept the money. Li Xiuyuan put the money in the hands of the boatman, and without saying much, he quickly left with the guards and the maidservants around him.

The boatman was stunned, and after a while, he knelt down behind him and said, "Thank you." ”

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he shook his head slightly.

"Young master, is the money given too much. On the way, Du Chunhua lowered her head slightly and said softly.

I feel heartache for my young master's generosity.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's a little more, but others have lost a lot of money, lost a life, and ruined the livelihood of the boat family, when this happens, the two families have been implicated, one hundred taels is a lot for them, but it is nothing to the Li family, and we can't just pat our butts and don't care about anything." ”

"It's also their people who want to take care of it, we just took a boat by the way, and it won't be the turn of the young master. Du Chunhua said.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "That's the reason, but they also kindly invited us to cross the river before, besides, how can they scholars have the money to lose, so we have to break the bank, which can be regarded as repaying the previous grace of crossing the river." ”

Although all the families who can produce scholars are not poor families, not every scholar's family is a rich family, and it is impossible for them to pay a hundred taels for compensation.

Several scholars also saw Li Xiuyuan lose money to the boatman, and they were a little embarrassed at this time.

Especially the leader Zhu Yu blushed a little.

After all, he organized this outing, and he is more or less responsible for what happened now.

He didn't say it, but Li Xiuyuan helped him compensate for the aftermath, which made him feel very ashamed, and he had no face to face Li Xiuyuan.

Because of this, the people said little on the road, but buried their heads in the road.

However, these scholars were really a little frail, and they sneezed when they were drenched in the river, and now they knew that it was too late and the city gate would be closed, so they stopped and stopped at this time, resting from time to time.

Li Xiuyuan, who was dragged down, could only accompany them.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get over morally, he really wanted to get rid of them and go back to the city alone.

With this delay, the sky will get dark.

"No, rest your feet, I really can't walk. Zhu Yu gasped and couldn't help but stop.

The other scholars were no better, they were all tired and tired, and they just wanted to sit down and rest.

Wang Ping's leg strength is okay, and he hasn't been tired until now.

As for Li Xiuyuan, there was naturally no problem, his footsteps were flying along the way, and he was carrying Fluttershy, who had been scared unconscious before, if it wasn't for waiting for them, he would have entered the city by this time.

"No, it's resting again, haven't you rested before?" he said, with a twitch of the corners of his mouth.

For the first time, I felt that this scholar was such a trouble.

"Brother Li, it's naturally okay if you don't fall into the water, we fell into the water and were blown by the cool breeze, so it is inevitable that we will feel a little uncomfortable. Zhu Yu said.

"Well, you see, it's brightly lit over there, it looks like a night market, why don't we go to the night market and change into dry clothes and hire some carriages to take us back to the city." Suddenly, the scholar named Zhong Qingxu pointed to the surprise not far away.

Night market?

Is there a night market near Guobeicheng?

Li Xiuyuan looked in the direction he pointed, and he really didn't know why there was a lantern fire between the mountains and forests, but he couldn't see any night market.

At that time, there were a few figures floating in that direction.

"Chunhua, what did you see there?" Li Xiuyuan frowned and pointed in that direction.

Du Chunhua glanced at it and replied softly: "Young master, there is indeed a night market there, it is very lively, there are many lanterns and stalls, this city is the city, it is much more lively than the village, and there is a night market just in the evening." ”

When Li Xiuyuan heard Du Chunhua say this, his heart immediately sank.

There is such a difference between what they see and what they see.

There is no doubt that there is a problem with the so-called night market, because your eyes will not be deceived by illusions, and what you see is what you see, but ordinary people's eyes will be confused, so what you see is often not necessarily true.

The night market in their eyes is not a night market, but a ghost market.

A market where wild ghosts gather.

"Let's go, it's getting late tonight, so we'll go there for a walk, and we'll go back to the city tomorrow morning." ”

Zhu Yu was immediately overjoyed when he saw that there was a night market there, and he happened to walk for a while, and he was tired of walking.

"Go together, go together. Several tired scholars hurriedly chimed in.

Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and persuaded him, "How can there be a night market in this wilderness, I'm afraid there is a problem, don't go, and hurry back to the city as soon as possible." ”

"Brother Li, you are too careful, this is not much away from the city, there is a night market here, what is strange, since you have met, why don't Brother Li go with us, and have a good time." Zhu Yu said.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "I have something to do when I go back to the city, so I won't accompany you." ”

Although he is not afraid of ghosts, there is no need to be bored enough to accompany these scholars to visit the ghost market.

He couldn't see the bazaar in his eyes, only the mountains and forests, ghost fires, and ghost shadows.

How could a normal person drill into that kind of place?

"Since Brother Li still has something to do, then we won't force the invitation, so we will part, and we will go back to the city another day to visit Brother Li. Zhu Yu said.

"Well, be careful, then. Li Xiuyuan said: "However, I still want to remind you that it is unlikely that there will be a market between the mountains and fields, and I think the chance of a ghost market is greater." ”

"Ghost market?" everyone paused.

Immediately, a scholar sneered and said, "Brother Li is a god and a ghost, I've read too many books, if there is really a ghost market, I really want to see what the ghost market is like." ”

"Ghost market? Interesting, interesting, I haven't seen a ghost market either, so I just went to see it. Zhu Yu also looked very interested.

"Go together, go together. Other scholars also said.

Look, it looks like it's quite a bit bold, and the smell of daring is in it.

Li Xiuyuan persuaded him but was laughed at, couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "You have taken your leave." ”

After saying that, he didn't continue to do such a thankless thing, so he left with the guard maid.

I've already broken out that it's a ghost market, and I'm going to go, it's really an elm head.

However, he hadn't gone far before Wang Ping caught up: "Brother Li, wait, wait for me." ”

"Wang Ping, didn't you go to the market with them? Li Xiuyuan said.

Wang Ping looked around at this time, and said in a suppressed voice: "Brother Li, you tell me honestly, is that place really a ghost market?"

"Nine times out of ten, even if it's not a ghost market, it's a gathering of wild ghosts, and it's not a good place in short. ”

Li Xiuyuan said: "If you don't want to roll in the mud like last time, it's best not to go." ”

Wang Ping was taken aback, and couldn't help but think of the skinning evil ghost he met in the abandoned post station that day, and he shivered all over his body.

"Brother Wang, what are you doing? Come here yet, don't make us wait. Zhu Yu's voice sounded from behind,

"I, I suddenly had a little urgency, no, not going. Wang Ping hurriedly replied.

Now he heard that it was a ghost market, and where did he dare to go.
