She smiled heartily, and just in time to see Han Changmu's cold face, she quickly stopped smiling, so fast that her face almost cramped.
After a speechless night, I packed my luggage and the boat moved faster. The spacious river turned sharply from the north side and then flowed straight away. The steep mountains on both sides of the Taiwan Strait slowly become gentle, and farmhouses and villages are dotted in the mountains. Further away, there are vaguely boundless fertile fields and bustling villages and towns.
When the building boat arrived at Fengling Ferry, it was getting dark. In the blood-like sunset, the mountains in the distance were made of iron and steel, and the river nearby was flowing with tenderness.
Fengling Ferry is a waterway hub between Guannai Road, Hedong Road and Henan Road. It is very busy on weekdays. From morning to night, there are always passenger ships and cargo ships coming in and out of the ferry one after another.
Yao Yao stood on the deck and looked at the huge archway erected on the ferry in the distance, with three large black characters of Fenglingdu written on it.
The archway has been eroded by wind and rain and looks old and thick. The three characters "Fenglingdu" seem to be chopped with a knife and an axe. They are deeply engraved in the center of the archway, which is quite chivalrous.
She automatically ignored the lively fireworks at the ferry and only looked at the archway and nodded. This is what Fenglingdu in Jin Yong's martial arts novels should look like.
She murmured: "When we first met at Fengling Ferry, we missed Yang Guo for the rest of our lives."
Han Changmu didn't hear clearly what Yao Yao was saying. He only vaguely heard the last three words of "mistaken life" and uttered a sentence in surprise: "What did you say?"
Yao Yao broke through the power in one second, remembered where he was now, and quickly shut his mouth.
Haha, her world is over before it even begins.
Han Changmu watched in surprise as Yao Yao's expression changed, and he touched the tip of his nose unwillingly.
Just one sentence, is it so scary? He doesn't eat people.
When the ship docked, Li Yushan and Han Changmu stood at the bow, watching the escorts carrying dozens of large boxes and disembarking first.
Since they agreed to go all the way to Qiuci, Han Changmu and Li Yushan unconsciously became close to each other. One was thoughtful and the other laughed heartily, but they actually had a good time chatting with each other.
There was a small, flat bundle on Bao Cheng's shoulder. It seemed that it had been plundered by the water thief. He quickly walked to Han Changmu and came over with a smile: "Hey, Brother Han, let's go together in a while. ."
Han Changmu glanced at Bao Cheng lightly and did not answer.
Li Yushan also glanced at Bao Cheng with a strange expression and ignored him.
Bao Cheng suddenly felt bored and turned to Yao Yaotou and asked, "A Yao, have you been to the Western Regions?"
Yao Yao didn't look back, her eyes were cold, and she was watching the escort carrying the big box away without blinking. She wrinkled the tip of her nose calmly, and then sneezed loudly, frightening Han Changmu and Li Yushan all turned to look at her.
She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled sheepishly: "The wind was too strong, it's a bit cold." She turned to Bao Cheng and asked: "I didn't hear clearly what you just said."
Bao Cheng pursed his lips, and suddenly felt a humiliating feeling of being ignored. He got off the boat without saying a word.
Yao Yao looked at Han Changmu innocently with a confused look on his face: "Master, what's wrong with him?"
Han Changmu said calmly without squinting: "I was frightened by your sneezing. I was afraid that you would spread the cold to him."
Yao Yao snorted, turned around and continued to look at the escort team that was slowly moving away, his eyes even colder.
The boat passengers gradually disappeared. After floating on the river for ten days, they suddenly stepped on the shore, as if they were stepping on cotton, and their limp legs fluttered.
Yao Yao had just walked a few steps when he suddenly thought of something. He slapped his forehead and put the box on his hand into Han Changmu's hand. He turned around and ran to the boat, shouting as he ran: "Sir, please go to the front and wait for me, maid." Just when I remembered, something fell down."
Something fell down, and Han Changmu curled his lips. He didn't believe in the evil of this girl who kept telling lies.
But he didn't ask, Gengmei chased after her, dragging the box, and smiled at Li Yushan: "This girl is like this, she is very reckless, and she also throws away things, which makes the head of Li Yushan laugh."
Li Yushan smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Han, you're too polite. I think this girl is pretty good and has a smart mind."
Yao Yao said he left something behind, but instead of going to the third floor, he went to the warehouse at the stern of the ship.
She glanced outside several warehouses, stretched out her hand to push one of them open, and closed the door behind her back.
The warehouse was filled to the brim with linen bags half as tall as a person. The highest point of the pile was almost on the roof. Even the door of the warehouse was barely pushed open, leaving no place to stay.
She pondered for a moment, and just as she stretched out her hand, she heard messy and hurried footsteps approaching.
Looking at the unobstructed surroundings and the roof without even the beams, Yao Yao gritted her teeth and got into the narrow and thin gap between the linen bags. Once inside, she almost squeezed in. Take the breath away.
I'm still a little fat. I'll have to eat less in the future.
The door was suddenly opened, footsteps were heard, and judging from the sound, there were many people crowded at the door.
"Come on, brothers, after carrying this food, we can get off the boat and have a drink."
"Hurry up, these are the only ones left, each person can carry two bags, hurry up, hurry up."
Yao Yao hid in the gap between the linen bags, shivering, and saw a faint light coming in. She knew that there were fewer and fewer linen bags.
What are these people doing with such neat hands and feet?
Is it too late for her to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead?
At this moment, a miserable scream came from outside: "It's on fire, it's on fire, come and put out the fire, put out the fire, come and put out the fire."
With a few "bang bang bang" sounds, the linen bag hit the ground, causing the floor to shake.
The group of people who entered the warehouse rushed out one after another. At a glance, they saw black smoke rising from the bow of the ship. They rushed over with buckets of water.
Not to be missed.
Yao Yao used his hands and feet to climb out with difficulty.
At this time, a big hand reached out, grabbed Yao Yao's arm, and pulled her out.
"It's you." Yao Yao looked up and saw a face crawling out of the coal pile. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and whispered in surprise.
The owner of that hand was Baocheng, who spoke the truth. He smiled lowly: "A Yao, look, I told you earlier that it is more reliable to follow me than to follow your young master."
Yao Yao wasn't sure what Bao Cheng's plan was, what he saw, what he thought. Adhering to the golden rule that too much talk leads to misunderstanding, he kept his mouth shut. Mao Shen looked at the door and saw that everyone was indeed putting out fires. After leaving, she boldly turned around and went to take off the linen bag.
Bao Cheng leaned on the door frame, crossed his arms and smiled: "Don't worry, I set the fire high, they won't be able to get through for a while."
Yao Yao's movements stagnated, but he did not look back.
It was this piece of black coal that started the fire. Why did he want to help her? What did he want?
But this is not the time to wonder why.
She quickly opened the linen bags in the remaining half of the warehouse with her hands and feet, revealing several large wooden boxes hidden behind and stacked against the wall.
Bao Cheng put away his thoughts of being frivolous and playful, slowly straightened up, frowned and said, "I asked why these linen bags were piled up so high. It turned out to be to hide these boxes." He paused and said, "A Yao , how do you know there is something hidden here."
Yao Yao ignored him and jumped onto the top box. He didn't open the box, but just lay on it and smelled it carefully.
"What are you asking about?" Bao Cheng came over curiously, followed him and lay down beside the box below, smelled it, and said, "It smells like tea."
Yao Yao jumped down, turned around and walked out.
Bao Cheng chased after me and said, "Hey, A Yao, I helped you, but you don't even want to say thank you."
Yao Yao didn't even look back and threatened: "You are following me, do you want me to beat you up?"
Bao Cheng shrank his neck and got off the boat.
Han Changmu stood not far away from the shore with his hands behind his back. He watched Yao Yao and Bao Cheng approaching one after another. His face darkened and he said calmly: "Did you find the thing?"
Yao Yao raised the hairpin in his hand and said with a smile: "I found it."
"If you find it, hurry up and leave." Han Changmu's face was worried and his tone was not pleasant. He threw the box and baggage on the ground, shook his hands and walked away.
Yao Yao snorted.
I shouldered my baggage, dragged my box, and hurried after him.
Next to Fengling Ferry, there is a huge carriage and horse shop, with all kinds of donkeys, horses, mules and vehicles. There are many passengers disembarking at this time, and the door of the carriage and horse shop is also crowded with people, some of whom are broken up. They stand on the horse's mouth to check its teeth, and some turn over on the donkey to try their feet.
Li Yushan had no intention of buying donkeys and horses at the carriage and horse shop. He turned to Han Changmu and explained with a smile: "Master Han, the donkeys and horses in this carriage and horse shop have average leg strength and are not suitable for traveling to the Western Regions. Our Weiyuan Escort Agency There is a racecourse here. Let's just go directly to the racecourse and choose suitable horses." He turned his head and looked at Yao Yao, who was holding a bag and running over panting, and frowned in embarrassment: "It's just that I don't know Miss A Yao. Do you know how to ride a horse? Do you need to hire a separate carriage?"
"A Yao knows how to ride a horse. Head Guard Li doesn't need to bother. He can just go to the racecourse to choose a horse." Han Changmu smiled.
The people who came out of the Sixteenth Guards, not to mention riding horses, were probably very good at riding, and most people wouldn't be able to catch up.
He was looking forward to going to the racecourse.
Yao Yao opened his mouth.
She didn't want to ride a horse, she wanted to ride in a carriage, which would save her energy.
The horse farm is not far from the ferry and is a place with rich water and grass.
The group of people walked around the racecourse. The horses in this racecourse have all been tamed. Although they are still a little wild, these people are not ordinary people. They changed into clothes suitable for riding horses, and after running a few laps, the horses became more mature. That's enough to be obedient.
Just to have a perfect tacit understanding, it will take a long time to get along.
Han Changmu came out leading an extremely tall and strong yellow gelding. The horse's red-gold hair had no color at all, except for a white spot on its head that looked like a full moon.
He wore a beard, trousers tied into leather boots, got on his horse, rode on the horse, and ran quickly. The indigo flowered shorts turned into a dark blue light, illuminating the dark green and light emerald trees. pasture.
