Episode 8 Crossing the River
Xue Yunfei didn't care, only smiled faintly, and said, "Do you want to get me drunk too?"
"Why do you think that?" Sakura said.
"Haha, it's nothing, I'll just talk about it. Xue Yunfei smiled, poured himself a glass of wine, handed it to Sakura, and then added another glass for himself, and continued: "Come, it's rare for a girl to have such a good idea, let's not get drunk and go home, but will this wine be a little less?"
"No, it's strong, you'll know when you drink it. Sakura's clear eyes sparkled.
"Okay, I'll drink first!" Xue Yunfei said, raising his wine glass and raising his neck to drink it all.
"How are you feeling?" Sakura asked tentatively.
"Sure enough...... Fierce enough...... Hey...... My head is a little dizzy......" Xue Yunfei suddenly covered his head and shook for a while.
"Snow Boy, you...... Are you drunk?"
"I ...... Not drunk...... I'm not drunk,......" said and fell on the table, as if he had fallen asleep.
Sakura saw that Xue Yunfei was lying on the table and did not move, so she reached out and gently pushed him a few times, and after confirming that he was unconscious, she stood up straight and said to Xue Yunfei: "Snow boy, I'm sorry, I have to get this knife, I owe you a favor, if I have the opportunity to see you again in the future, I will definitely repay you." ”
With that, she picked up the Tang knife that Xue Yunfei had placed beside her, hurriedly turned around and walked out, closing the door with her hand.
After Sakura left the inn, she mounted the white horse and rode towards the south of the city, aiming for the Luoyang Ferry, which she had already explored.
The journey was non-stop, and in less than an hour and a half, the cherry blossoms had arrived at the ferry port on the outskirts of the southern part of the city. By this time the night was dark, and there were few people under the hazy moonlight, except for her and a white horse, and there was a boatman with a hat at the ferry, who seemed to have made an appointment to wait here.
"Boatman, I hope I didn't keep you waiting, let's get on the boat!" Sakura left her horse on the shore and boarded a ferry boat with her sword.
The boatman didn't say anything, and did so silently.
Soon, the ferryboat was far from shore, and when it approached the center of the river, the ferryman suddenly asked in a deep voice: "I don't know where you come from, I don't know where you come from?"
Sakura didn't expect the boatman to ask such a question, so she was stunned for a moment, and then prevaricated: "You just have to send me to the other side, you don't need to know anything else." ”
"I don't know if the girl can swim, I heard that there are water monsters in this river, and if the boat capsizes, I can't save you." The boatman said.
"There's a water monster here?" Sakura seemed frightened, "I'm not familiar with water, so please row the boat over quickly!"
The boatman didn't care, and he stopped the boat. After a long time, Sakura felt that something was wrong, so she urged, "Boatman, why are you in a daze? Why don't you move? Are you worried that I won't be able to pay?"
"I'm not worried about that, I'm worried that you'll fall into the water. With that, the boatman jumped into the river with a pop.
"Hey, where are you going?" Sakura panicked, and before she could react to what was happening, she felt a shake under her feet and almost fell into the water.
"From now on, you must answer my questions honestly, or you will be thrown into the water to feed the monster. The boatman popped up in the water, grabbed his hands on the side of the boat, and threatened.
Sakura suddenly felt that the voice was familiar, but she couldn't immediately remember who it was.
"That's right, it's me Xue Yunfei!" It turned out that this fake boatman turned out to be Xue Yunfei! At this moment, he took off the hat on his head and revealed his true face.
"You...... You're really Xue Yunfei, you're not ......" Sakura was surprised, and couldn't close her mouth when she grew up.
"Shouldn't I be lying on the table and falling asleep?" Xue Yunfei said, "It's a pity that you miscalculated, I have been immune to poison since I was a child, what kind of sweat medicine, the intestine breaking grass has no effect on me at all, I am just acting in a play." ”
"You...... How do you know ......"
"I didn't know it, your visit late at night was already suspicious, and with your words and deeds, I was completely sure that you came to talk to me about the wine and the truth of stealing the Tang knife. "So I pretended to be asleep, and followed you all the way, and when I learned that you were coming toward the ferry, I sent the boatman away before you, and I myself acted as the ferryman." ”
"It's all just your guess?" Sakura still doesn't quite believe that there are people in the world who have such amazing insight and speculative abilities.
"It can only be said that it is a little speculation and intuition on my part!" Xue Yunfei said, "I didn't want to embarrass you, but my demeanor has to make me wary, it is said that many demons also want to get this Tang knife, are you with them?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I can tell you that I don't mean ......," Sakura said.
"Do I believe your words or not?" Xue Yunfei said, "I really want to trust you, but you don't even want to reveal your real name, so how can I believe what you say?"
"You...... How do you know ......?"
"Sakura isn't your real name at all, no one hesitates to say your name, this must be a pseudonym you made up temporarily, right?"
Sakura doesn't answer, and this occasion is often the default.
After a moment, Sakura bowed her head slightly and said softly, "Yes, I really don't call Sakura." ”
