Chapter 5: Bamboo Moon
"No...... Don't!!" After a coquettish shout, the beauty behind her sat up suddenly.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of her, the little girl felt uneasy, and subconsciously grabbed the only thing beside her that could be used as a weapon - the pillow.
"Girl, are you awake" Qi Yue on the ground stood up happily after hearing the cry and asked.
Who knows, "Ah~~!, don't come here!" A black object flew head-on, because the distance was too short, and Qi Yue was hit on the head suddenly.
Fortunately, it was just a pillow, and it was no big deal to hit it on the head, and after reacting, he hurriedly stepped back and waved his hand to explain: "Girl, I'm not a bad person, I saved you!"
Being frightened by Qi Yue like this, the little girl's face was pale, her body retreated to the corner, and a pair of big eyes looked at Qi Yue pitifully, her eyes were full of vigilance and distrust.
Seeing that the other party was unmoved, he had to continue to explain: "I don't believe it for yourself, this is not the place where you were detained before, I have already rescued you from the bandits' den!"
Qi Yue's words seemed to have some effect, and the other party's panic in the face of strange things after waking up had gradually calmed down, carefully guarding against Qi Yue while scanning the surrounding environment with his residual vision, and after a while, he finally confirmed that this was not the previous bandit's den, because that kind of place would not be so clean.
"You...... Who the hell are you?" As soon as the girl opened her mouth, it was like a yellow bird coming out of the valley, clear and beautiful, and Qi Yue felt that her bones were about to melt.
"Don't be afraid, girl, I'm just a passing Jianghu person, because I heard that there are water bandits here as a disaster, so I took advantage of the night to kill the bandits' den to eliminate harm for the people, but I didn't expect to see the girl unconscious in the gang of bandits, so I brought you back, and now you are safe!" shamelessly portrayed himself as a righteous hero.
The girl obviously didn't believe what Qi Yue said, but seeing that he didn't seem to have any evil intentions, and she had just checked her body to make sure that her clothes had not been moved, she gradually relaxed Qi Yue's vigilance.
"That'...... Where are we now?"
"Here, we are still in Linjiang Town......" As soon as she said this, the girl's face changed, which inevitably caused a misunderstanding Qi Yue felt and continued: "But don't worry, girl, the gang of robbers who kidnapped you are all dead, and no one knows that you are here."
Hearing this, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and put her mind at ease. The room fell into a brief dullness, Qi Yue first realized that it was inconvenient for the two of them to talk like this, so he took a few steps back and turned around, "Girl, let's tidy up your clothes first, if you have any questions, you can wait and ask slowly."
The girl also found the embarrassment of the two, and when she saw that the other party turned around and had no intention of peeping, she inexplicably had a little more affection for him in her heart, so she quickly tidied up her clothes, put away the belt, and cleaned up her hair, "Okay, you can turn around"
Obviously, he has seen the other party's appearance, but it is just a turn of effort, and the other party dresses up a little, but it is as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, which makes people dare not look directly.
Being looked at by Qi Yue directly, the girl was a little shy and angry: "You still watch!"
"Oh, yes...... I'm sorry, girl, please take a seat!" quickly diverted the topic to hide his shame.
After the two sat down on both sides of the table, Qi Yue couldn't help but ask, "In Xia Qi Yue, haven't you asked the girl's name yet?"
"My name is Zhuyue, and the young man just calls me Yue'er"
After some exchanges, the two no longer had the same familiarity as before, and after Qi Yue and the other party exchanged pleasantries, they directly cut to the point and asked, "Miss Yue'er, where are you from? Why were you kidnapped by the water bandits?"
As soon as she mentioned this, Zhuyue paused, her eyes flickered a little, as if she was a little embarrassed.
"If Miss Yue'er has difficulties, you can also not say it" After all, the two just met in Pingshui, and the other party should hide something.
Hearing Qi Yue say this, Zhu Yue's face showed gratitude, "Thank you Qi Shaoxia!"
"Alas~ That's not necessary, it's just that you have to tell me who you are, I'll find a way to notify your family to pick you up!"
"Don't hide it from Shaoxia, I'm actually a native of Yanting, but now I have been separated from my relatives, and I am afraid that the road home will be difficult......" As soon as I thought of this, tears flashed, and I was about to cry.
A delicate little girl cried out in front of her eyes, Qi Yue was so anxious that she couldn't care about a lot, "Don't cry, there will definitely be a way"
Maybe I'm not good at persuading people, but when I hear myself say this, the other party cries even more.
"Hey~ That's right, I'm going to Yanting Country, or you can go with me!" patted his thigh and suddenly remembered his purpose.
The crying stopped abruptly, and he raised his head to look at Qi Yue, "Are you telling the truth?" Although his eyes were a little moist, there were no tears.
"You're not crying!" Feeling that he had been deceived, Qi Yue, who was angry, scratched his ears and cheeks, but he couldn't do anything about the other party.
"Puff~...... Hehe" Seeing Qi Yue's appearance, Zhuyue burst into tears and smiled, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to" Seeing Qi Yue's face getting darker and darker, the other party instantly became extremely well-behaved.
"Is it true that you just said that you were going to Yanting Country?" After apologizing, he immediately asked about important things.
"Well, I was originally going to Yanting Country, it was just an accident to save you today, and I will set off at noon tomorrow" Although the other party is beautiful, his thinking jumps too fast, and he was crying just now, but now he is back to normal.
"Great! Thank you!"
"Don't be happy too early, although I agreed to take you, but it's still unknown whether you can go" Qi Yue poured a basin of cold water at the right time.
"Why? Do you want to take money? But I'm penniless now, so I'll give it to you when I get to Yanting Country," Takeyue mistakenly thought that what he was talking about was money.
Shaking his head, "It's not about the money, but the boat I'm on is owned by a gang, and I don't have the right to decide whether you can get on the boat or not." And that's not the biggest problem, they don't know what happened tonight, and they can't let these people know, so I can't explain what happened to you" truthfully told the other party all about the incident.
I thought that the other party would be as troubled as myself after hearing this, but I didn't expect that the little girl seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she was extremely smart, and she thought of a good way with a roll of her eyes.
Early the next morning, Qi Yue pushed open the courtyard door and pretended that nothing had happened last night, and walked leisurely to the courtyard where Gang Leader Li was.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw that the big guys were all gathered here, as if something big had happened, and I looked around and found that Brother Li was also in the crowd, so I stepped forward.
"Brother Li, what are you doing here, there is a group of people around, is something big happening?" Brother Li heard someone calling him, and turned around to look at Qi Yue.
"Alas~ You don't know, last night the water bandits' den in the west of the town somehow caught fire, the fire was called a big one, I heard that hundreds of people were burned to death in one night, everyone is discussing what is going on, some people say that God is punishing the wicked, otherwise how could it suddenly catch fire and the fire is so big, all the fights are extinguished"
Although I already knew about this last night, and the culprit was myself, but now I learned from others that my heart was still not good, because I didn't dare to communicate with others at the moment, and I still had business, so I greeted and went to find Gang Leader Li.
When I found him, the other party was having breakfast, and when I saw that it was Qi Yue, I beckoned him to come over and eat together.
During the meal, Gang Leader Li seemed to see that Qi Yue seemed to be looking for something for him, put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked: "Xiao Qi, do you have something to find me?" If you have something, just say it, I promised Brother Long that I would take care of you, if you have something, just ask."
Seeing that the other party was so easy to speak, Qi Yue had some confidence in what he was going to say next, "That's the case, I have a fellow junior sister who also happens to want to go to Yanting Country, so let me ask Gang Master Li if he can bring her with him?"
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to know the situation of his sect, and actually really believed it, "Your junior sister, is she also in Linjiang Town?"
"Uh...... That's right, I just learned about it last night, he heard that I was going to Yanting Country, so he kept clamoring for me to bring her, but as soon as I thought about Gang Master Li, you have a serious business to go to Yanting Country, and it is very troublesome to bring me, so I am embarrassed to trouble you, but my junior sister has not been sensible since she was a child, and once she cries and makes trouble, she has to do it, so I can't help it, so I can't help it, so I come to trouble you" The tone was very helpless, as if there was really a little junior sister pestering her.
"Oh! What should I do, it turns out to be a trivial matter, since it is your junior sister, it is your own family, what can you do with her, so many of us old men can't take care of a little girl! Even if you let her get on the boat, I will tell Lao Li to arrange a place for her!!" Gang Leader Li waved his hand and agreed to Qi Yue's request without care.
"This ...... How embarrassing is this" Qi Yue thought it would take a lot of trouble, who would have thought that it would be so easy.
"What's embarrassing, it's just a boat's seat, and it's not a big deal. But you have to tell your junior sister, we are taking the waterway, and it will inevitably be a little difficult on the way, so you let her be prepared, don't cry and make trouble to get off the boat at that time, but there is no place to go" Helper Li did not forget to remind him kindly.
"Thank you Gang Master Li for reminding me, I will tell her, if there is nothing to do, I will go over first!"
"Well, go ahead, pay attention to the time, you must get on the boat before noon!" Before the words were finished, Qi Yue had already disappeared into a smoke.
Shaking his head, he smiled: "Young people nowadays, they are really frizzy"
