Lou Xiao reacted and wanted to let go, but the man held on tightly. When he noticed that she was about to let go, he pouted and looked aggrieved.

The boatman also noticed him at this time, exclaimed that it was dangerous, and hurriedly pulled the man up. Even so, he did not let go of Lou Xiao's hand.

"open."

She said with a wooden face at the first moment.

The man’s wet clothes could not cover his body at all. Even the silver ornaments hanging from his braids were dripping with water. He looked like a monster fished out of the water, with “abnormal” written all over him.

"If you don't let me go, I'll throw you back into the river." This time, Lou Xiao raised the corner of his mouth with a smile, but his eyes were cold.

The boatman was trying to change his clothes and asked him how he fell into the river, but when he saw the hostess's bad attitude, he walked away awkwardly, pretending he saw nothing.

The man looked so aggrieved that he almost cried. He was naked, and everything was clearly visible through his wet clothes.

Lou Xiao suddenly felt his eyes burning, and turned his head to count, "One, two──"

The word "three" was almost out of her mouth when the man let go of her hand.

Lou Xiao stood up and wanted to go back to the guest room, but he grabbed a piece of her clothes again. He didn't say anything and just looked at her pitifully.

Er Liu's eyes were threatening, and he shrank back as if in fear.

Lou Xiao didn't speak, and no one dared to contact him. When Li Huaiqing came out of the guest room, he saw an extra person on the boat and looked at Er Liu in confusion.

Keliu just pretended to be stupid and refused to say a word.

Li Huaiqing had no choice but to ask the boatman, "Why is there an extra person? Where did he come from?"

The boatman then told the mistress that he was rescued from the river. "I don't know whose family the man fell into the river from. Why don't you ask him which village he is from? We will take him ashore at the next dock."

The man looked Li Huaiqing in the eyes and then sized him up from head to toe. The look in his eyes was meaningless, but it made Li Huaiqing feel a little cold for no reason.

But he still had a smile on his face and his eyes were shining. Li Huaiqing couldn't bear to see someone being so disrespectful, so he ordered the driver beside him,

"Take him to change into dry clothes. He is wearing silk. He must be from a certain family. Ask him his name and where he lives."

Why did Lou Xiao just leave him alone after rescuing him? Was it because he was in such a mess?

With one more person on the small boat, people kept staring at him. Except for Er Liu and Ai Ying, everyone thought that there was something fishy about this person.

So does Lou Xiao.

She went to the guest room to pack her luggage and came out, and saw that the man had changed out of his wet transparent clothes.

It was just that the driver's coarse cloth clothes were a little too small for him, so some skin was still exposed.

Sitting on the deck and looking at her in the spring sunshine, he had the clarity of a young man.

The driver kept asking, "My master wants to know your last name, your name, where you live, and why you fell into the water so that we can take you back."

The man pretended to be dumb and turned a deaf ear to her, but when he noticed that Lou Xiao was looking at him, he looked at her from a distance, as if he was only talking to her.

"My name is Mo Jingchun."

The voice had a subtle hook, so even the most dull-witted person would know why this person came here.

Ai Ying snorted barely noticeably, as if she was mocking the other person and also mocking her past self.

Li Huaiqing fanned himself and savored the name.

"Mo Jingchun──"

It seems that there is no big family with the surname Mo. "Who are you from?"

Mo Jingchun didn't even look at Li Huaiqing, as if he didn't hear him.

He just stared at Lou Xiao, waiting for her to reply and say his name.

Holding the candied pine nut candies and other snacks she bought yesterday, Lou Xiao sat on the bow of the boat to enjoy the breeze. Mo Jingchun followed closely behind her, keeping a distance that was just right so as not to be disliked. He only had eyes for her.

The rest of them were like decorations and were not in his eyes.

Li Huaiqing put away his folding fan and became angry. Out of sight, out of mind. Since it was Lou Xiao who caused the trouble, let her deal with it herself and they would not care.

As the boat passed through the morning mist, the bright spring light became more visible. More and more fishermen were fishing on the river. Everywhere, fishermen wearing bamboo hats and pulling up their nets were seen.

From time to time, you can see farmers carrying farm tools on both sides of the river, working in the fields or on their way to their own land, greeting each other.

Villagers who were washing clothes by the river were beating their clothes with sticks. The regular rhythm of the beatings was accompanied by angry shouts at their children not to go into the water.

Occasionally, people on the shore would look at her, and see Mo Jingchun beside her, and greet them loudly. That was the most simple and pure enthusiasm in the village.

Lou Xiao liked the atmosphere of this world the most. She smiled and waved unconsciously. Mo Jingchun beside her stared at her and tilted his head to smile.

Even if Lou Xiao ignored him, he could still enjoy himself.

Passing by a fisherman wearing a bamboo hat and rowing a small boat, Lou Xiao asked, "Have you caught any big fish today? I want to buy one!"

As they got closer, Lou Xiao stuck his head out and pointed at a bighead carp in the cheerful fisherman's boat and decided, "That's it!"

"Okay, girl! How about fifteen cents?" The fishermen in the riverside village rely on the river to earn some money, and what they ask for is not expensive.

Lou Xiao readily threw out a string of copper coins, and the fisherman tied the fish with a straw rope and handed it to him.

But she did not take over, but looked at Mo Jingchun beside her.

Mo Jingchun took it obediently. The fish swung its tail left and right with full energy, splashing water and scales all over him, but he remained calm.

After parting with the fisherman, Lou Xiao sat at the bow of the boat, chewing on candied fruit and said very naturally, "Let's clean it up while we're at it."

Then Li Huaiqing and others saw the man squatting on the deck, taking out a dagger and deftly scraping the scales of the bighead carp, killing its fins, gutting it and removing its internal organs. He cleaned it up thoroughly and was ready to put it in the pot.

His eyes sparkled as he waited for praise. Lou Xiao clapped her hands, put down the snack in her arms, took it, and looked at the fish with satisfaction.

"Good workmanship."

Then he kicked him in the chest. There was surprise in his eyes at first, then nervous joy. He did not even resist, but spread his limbs and fell into the middle of the river with a "bang" without warning, splashing water.

This sudden movement made the boatman who was rowing the boat nearby freeze.

Kick, kick, kick down?!

This is the middle of the river, it's killing people!!

He hurriedly looked towards the river surface, but Mo Jingchun did not emerge from the water. Could it be that he had sunk to the bottom?

Even Li Huaiqing and Ai Ying showed uncontrollable surprise on their faces. No one knew why she suddenly did this.

Lou Xiao picked up the cleaned bighead carp and shouted to them,

"Let's have fish for lunch today! I'll cook it myself!"
