Chapter 29
This is something unexpected!
Sitting on the boat, Zhou Lang saw that the passenger boat he was on was getting farther and farther away, and there were candle lights in the distance, as if another boat was coming slowly.
The girl who rowed the boat was very skilled. When she turned a corner, the boat quietly hid in a depression on the mountain wall, covered by the surrounding branches and weeds, and it was impossible to see that there was no boat hidden in it.
Zhou Lang was curious, and He Itachi kept looking out.
Fang Miaolan was nervous, and whispered: "Lang'er, you two, be more careful, don't just look into the water.
The boating girl laughed softly, and said, "It's okay, even if I fell into the water, I reached out and grabbed it and went back to the boat."
The passenger ship lay quietly on the water, hidden in the darkness, like a lion pretending to be sleeping and waiting for its prey.A passenger ship not far away is gradually approaching, the lights are brightly lit, even across the river, you can hear the faint sound of silk and bamboo, as well as women's wailing and men's teasing laughter.
Fang Miaolan vaguely sensed that the scene was a bit indecent, and wanted to tell the two children Zhou Lang and Itachi to stop watching it, but Zhou Lang still watched it with gusto, and refused to turn his head back. Itachi followed suit and only looked at Fang Miaolan innocently After one glance, he looked back at the gorgeous passenger ship.
"You two children, look at things like this!" Fang Miaolan muttered dissatisfied.
"There's nothing to watch, I've seen even worse scenes." The boating girl continued, and then described: "Once I went to the Hualou in Lin'an Mansion, which is indeed the place where the emperor stayed. That Hualou has a different vibe, and even the girls are more beautiful than other places."
Halfway through speaking, the words turned around and sighed: "It's just that the stinky man is still the stinky man, and everyone is still hugging left and right, and their brains are full of fat."
"You are a girl, why did you go to Hualou?" Fang Miaolan was surprised, she didn't dare to imagine herself going to Hualou.
"What is this? If you are interested, I will take you to see it someday."
Just as Fang Miaolan wanted to say that she didn't want to go, she saw the girl make a silent gesture.
Zhou Lang's eyes widened, his small head and Itachi looked together, half of his body was hanging out.Itachi was worried that she would fall, so he hurriedly grabbed her arm and pulled her back for a while.
In the distance, the gorgeous passenger ship approached the plain small passenger ship, and a man who looked like an officer stood at the bow and shouted: "The passenger ship in front, get out of the way, don't block the way of our adults!"
It is obvious that both the left and the right can pass, but they still ask the passenger boat to give way instead of passing through the middle, what's the point!
It seems that the people on this boat deserved to provoke these reckless people!Zhou Lang secretly thought.
On the other passenger ship, it was very quiet, those reckless people hid in the cabin, and no one responded to the officer and soldier's words.
The officer and soldier yelled again, seeing no one answered, he said to the people behind him: "Boss, it seems that there is no one!"
The leader looked at the passenger ship, suddenly he laughed a few times, and said: "I got a good deal!" He waved his hand again, indicating that he wanted to go up and have a look.
Seeing those officers and soldiers board the pitch-black passenger ship, Zhou Lang seemed to realize what was going to happen.
In the dark night, there were only a few people, and the moment the cabin door was pushed open, the people in the cabin rushed out, with their knives in hand, and several officers and soldiers fell down.
The people on the other boat suddenly realized that something was wrong, and were about to shout out to be alert, but those black figures had already boarded the boat and rushed towards them.With the knife across their necks, they didn't dare to say anything anymore.
The sound of silk and bamboo has stopped, and the men and women inside ran out screaming, but in the next second, all of them were silenced as if they were strangled by the neck.
These savages easily occupied the magnificent ship, and the man who sailed the ship turned the bow and sailed in another direction.
"Okay, I'll take you back now." The rowing girl stopped whispering and rowed the boat with a smile, heading for the passenger boat of the boatman and his wife.
"Sister, what's your name?" Zhou Lang asked, she quite liked this hearty girl.
"Zhuang Ya, you can call me Sister Zhuang." The girl said.
"Pretending?" Zhou Lang thought of the homonym of the name, covered his mouth and smiled, "My sister's name is so interesting, what two words are it?"
"Is it interesting?" Zhuang Ya didn't understand what he meant, and only explained: "The Zhuang of the farm, the sprouts of bean sprouts." She hadn't read two books, but she thought her name was very farmer-like and nice.
Back on the passenger ship, the husband and wife who started the boat were already waiting on the boat.The husband apologized frequently: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing and disturb you."
False alarm, Fang Miaolan just waved her hands and said: "It's nothing, don't worry about it."
Zhou Lang was curious, and smelled: "Who are those people? Do you recognize them?"
Itachi was also curious, and stared at the couple, but he finally knew that his eyes would scare others, so he took a step back and hid behind Zhou Lang.
The chubby woman explained: "It's probably a water bandit nearby, or a martial arts hero from somewhere. Looking at the messy scene on the boat, you can tell that he is not a good official. I don't know how much money he took. He deserves to be robbed by a hero." .”
The woman was very angry, probably due to her dissatisfaction with being squeezed out, the husband forced a smile and pulled the woman away.
The three of them entered the cabin, put away their heavy burdens and fell asleep again, but this time they didn't dare to fall asleep again, they just squinted their eyes and got confused for a while.
When the sky was slightly bright, Zhou Lang had already woken up. When she looked up, Fang Miaolan was still asleep, but Weasel was gone.
She turned over and got up, dragged her shoes and ran outside, and sure enough, she saw Itachi sitting on the bow.
"Itachi, does it look good?" Zhou Lang also sat down beside him, looking up at the surrounding scenery.
The sky lit up inch by inch, and in the gradually brightening environment, the mountain trees not far away gradually became clearer, green and lush, mixed with some gray mud and rocks on the mountain, like mottled years, and like marks made by a carving knife.
"I have never been out of Qingliu Town before, nor have I been on a boat, nor have I seen mountains on a boat." Itachi said softly, thinking of the hills in his memory, they are always dead and gray, despite the spring From time to time, the leaves also grew, but they were sparse and lifeless.
It was the mountain behind the thatched hut where he lived when he was a child. Sometimes he went up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables, but he was always chased by other children.
Everyone said that he was a demon who only drank human blood and didn't need to eat.
Itachi always thought to himself at that time that he had never drank human blood, he had never even eaten chicken blood, and what he liked to eat were wild vegetables.
Zhou Lang turned his head to look at Itachi, only to feel that there was a blinding brightness in his half-covered eyes, shining brightly.
"I haven't seen it either." Zhou Lang echoed, and said with a smile: "From now on, let's travel around the world together, no matter what mountains and rivers it is, we'll see it all."
Itachi froze for a moment, then nodded and smiled.
He never thought before that he could still see mountains and rivers everywhere, and he thought that he could only starve to death in that thatched hut on the hill.
At noon, the passenger ship stopped on the shore to rest.
Although Fang Miaolan is from the south, but she has not been on a boat for a long time, and she also feels a little uncomfortable. Leaning on the bow of the boat, she just feels that the stationary boat is still a little wobbly.
On the shore, there are many bushes, and a few wild rabbits with messy coats are holding the fresh grass and chewing the grass leaves with a few big teeth.
"There are wild rabbits, Itachi, shall we catch them?" Zhou Lang pulled Itachi and got off the boat with great interest.
"I can catch rabbits!" Itachi was also very excited. He used to catch wild animals to roast and eat, and of course wild rabbits also ate them.
"Don't go far away!" Fang Miaolan only had time to tell her, but she didn't know if the two children heard her.
Itachi was indeed a master at catching wild animals, so he chose a fat and tender rabbit as his target, and lurked behind him quietly.
The other rabbits gnawed on the weeds and seemed to feel that they were full, so they hopped and hopped to the depths of the woods.
Zhou Lang wanted to chase, but was held back by Itachi.Seeing those wild rabbits running farther and farther, Zhou Lang suppressed his pursuit and focused on the fat rabbit.
There is a reason for the fat rabbit to grow fat. The other rabbits ate almost the same and jumped away vigorously, but this fat rabbit was still gnawing grass.
It burped a little, but still hugged an unfinished weed.
At this moment, Itachi spotted the wild rabbit, jumped out, and caught the fat rabbit's foot in one fell swoop.The poor fat rabbit was lifted upside down. It probably didn't expect that it had just had its last full meal.
"Haha, stupid rabbit!" Zhou Lang pinched the rabbit's ears excitedly. Wild rabbits should taste good, right?
The two caught the rabbit and walked back, intending to show off the achievements of the prey with Fang Miaolan, but before they reached the shore, they heard a loud noise.
Weasel saw this kind of thing a lot, so he quickly dragged Zhou Lang to hide in the dense bushes.
"What's going on?" Zhou Lang was anxious, peeking through the gap, he vaguely saw the people from the government.
The boatman, his wife, and Fang Miaolan were tied up and pushed off the boat. The officers and soldiers pulled them with ropes, as if they were pulling mules.
"It seems something happened." Itachi held Zhou Lang back, afraid that she would rush out suddenly.
Zhou Lang thought about what happened last night. The official should have been robbed, and the people from the government found the passenger ship.
However, those who robbed people were clearly those people from last night, but today the government only recognizes the boat and not the people, it's disgusting!
The officials led Fang Miaolan into the woods, not knowing where they were going to take them.Zhou Lang and Itachi hurriedly followed with the rabbit in their hands.
Fortunately, Fang Miaolan wore several layers of thin clothes to cover her figure, and her face was disheveled to cover up her appearance, otherwise it would have been worse to meet these officers and soldiers.
However, being treated like a man is not a good thing. A few officers and soldiers cursed and slapped the three of them from time to time, telling them to leave quickly.
Fang Miaolan hasn't gone out for a long time, and she has never walked such a long distance, so she can only grit her teeth and stumble away.
Zhou Lang and Itachi followed behind, their feet hurting from walking, but they didn't dare to relax at all, for fear of losing track.
The two children, who have only learned Kung Fu from Huang Yaoshi for two days, are not even considered three-legged cats. Now they can only follow the officers and soldiers and see where they take Fang Miaolan before they can think of a way to save people.
