87

Mo Jingchun stayed here for no apparent reason.

No one paid any attention to him while the boat was sailing, so the boatman took him to eat some leftover fish soup. When he heard that it was cooked by her herself, he drank a few more bowls.

At least he contributed a bit, didn't he?

Lou Xiao only agreed to let him stay on the boat, but did not care what he ate or where he slept.

But Mo Jingchun was not picky. If he was hungry, he would eat what was available. If he didn't have any, he would just endure it.

He just lies down and falls asleep, knowing for sure that no one will do anything to him.

They lived in peace for a few days, until one day the weather suddenly changed, and the sunny day turned into a downpour. They were walking in a mountain stream without a dock.

The turbulent water speeded up the boat. The boatman frowned and tried to control the direction and stability of the boat, estimating the time to reach the next dock.

I just hope the rain doesn't get heavier again.

That night, Mo Jingchun sneaked into Lou Xiao's room. She was curled up in bed, looking at the turbid water, thinking about what to do next.

Although I knew he came in, I ignored him.

Mo Jingchun thought that she had allowed him to come in, and was about to get on her bed when he heard Lou Xiao warn him without even turning his head.

"If you dare to go any further, I'll throw you into the river."

Even if his injuries were not fully healed, he was not as weak as he was that day. She could really do it.

Mo Jingchun touched the edge of her bed with one hand and then retracted it. He had no choice but to sit down next to her bed and complained, "It's cold."

"Oh." Lou Xiao replied with one word indifferently and then kept silent.

Mo Jingchun has also figured out her temper in the past few days. It is true that she is soft-hearted.

But at the same time, she was truly the most unromantic woman he had ever met.

No wonder the men on the ship didn't develop any feelings for her, it turned out that she was totally unresponsive.

He had no choice but to take the initiative and say, "Aren't you curious about where I came from and what I want to do?"

Lou Xiao turned around and looked at him, "You can't beat us."

Nothing can be done.

Mo Jingchun was choked up. What he said was true. He laughed and sighed, "You are such a strange person."

Lou Xiao didn't intend to respond to his words, so he continued to talk on his own, "This road is very dangerous when it rains, the boat can't hold on."

She looked at me with cold eyes, as if asking, did you do anything?

Mo Jingchun did not explain, but continued, "If we want to go to Yunsu City, we can only go by land. The next dock will not be reached until tomorrow, and I don't know if this ship can hold on until then."

Now that things have come to this, Lou Xiao can no longer pretend to ignore it.

She said expressionlessly, "You are very familiar with this road."

The most frightening thing when taking a boat is the sudden rainstorm. After the heavy rain causes the water flow to speed up, if the waterway is more dangerous, it will test the boatman's experience and ability.

Judging from the boatman's performance these days, he is not a very experienced man.

Lou Xiao didn't blame him. She just randomly found a suitable place to board the boat. She thought that there would be no weather accidents in spring.

But who knew it would happen like this? It's really unlucky.

"I have lived in Yunsu City." He only revealed a little, and refused to say more. "Miss, what are you doing in Yunsu City? Doing business or visiting relatives and friends?"

Neither of them, and Lou Xiao never said that she was going to Yunsu City.

She said ambiguously, "I was just walking around casually, without any definite plans."

Although the answer was nonchalant, Mo Jingsheng gave a sincere suggestion:

"Why don't we get off the boat tomorrow and wait until the rain stops before heading to Yunsu City slowly. But the road is not safe, so it would be better for you to keep me, Miss. I might be of some use to you."

Among their group, only Li Huaiqing was unable to protect himself. Lou Xiao was absolutely not afraid of "unrest".

She said "Oh?" and asked, "What's the problem? Are there bandits or gangsters? Yunsu City is an important place in Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan General is stationed here. How could anyone dare to rob on the road?"

In fact, she also encountered robbers on the way back to the capital. There are always places in this world that are not well managed.

There are some villagers in the mountains who carry farm tools to plow the fields during the busy farming season, and pick up axes to rob on the road during the slack season. This is limited to those poor and remote mountain villages.

This kind of thing is extremely difficult to prohibit.

However, it is spring now and the farming season is busy. Besides, Jiangnan is a prosperous place, so no one should do such a thing.

How did it get to the point of being "unpeaceful"?

Mo Jingchun knew from just one sentence that she had not been to Yunsu City in recent years.

“People in the underworld are in turmoil, and some villagers have disappeared for no reason.

The government didn't care, but a sect did propose to find out where the missing people had gone, offering a new sword as a reward. "

He looked at Lou Xiao with a smile, "Miss, do you want to see the sword?"

At that time, Lou Xiao thought that he had gathered the information long ago and was waiting for her.

How could it be consistent with the destination she was going to do?

She didn't speak, as if she was thinking.

Mo Jingchun touched the edge of her bed with his hand, rested his chin on the back of his hand, and asked her in a cute and coquettish manner,

"Ms. Lin is also a martial artist. I heard that the sword is a rare and good sword. It is hard to find a second one. Aren't you curious?"

He knew very well that there was no warrior who had no desire for weapons.

Lou Xiao was silent for a while and asked him, "Why do you think I'm curious? Do you want me to rob? I don't know how to investigate a case."

Mo Jingchun tilted his head and said, "Miss, if you like it, I will go and get it for you."

Lou Xiao laughed and said, "You can't even beat me, and you still want to steal someone else's sword? Who gave you the confidence?"

He smiled without saying anything, looking like he had something to think about.

Lou Xiao didn't say whether to agree or not. Late at night, half asleep and half awake, she heard the boatman running over and knocking on their door.

"Guests, guests! The boat is broken! We must get off immediately!"

Mo Jingchun, who had been sitting quietly beside her bed, was not surprised at all. When Lou Xiao stood up, she looked like she was saying "I was right, wasn't I?"

Lou Xiao glanced at him and rolled up her luggage, "It's best if this has nothing to do with you, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, kill me." Mo Jingchun looked forward to it happily, not being threatened by her at all.

Lou Xiao's eyebrows jumped sharply. There was really nothing she could do to him.

He was beaten, and the one being beaten was happier than the one beating him. As for scolding him, he was thick-skinned and useless.

kill……?

Although she said it happily, she was still unwilling to take anyone's life easily.

Besides, looking at his condition, if he really did it, he would probably still be very happy.

Lou Xiao had never met such a person in her two lifetimes, so she just ignored him and went to find Li Huaiqing after packing up.

It was raining heavily outside, and the boat was shaking violently like a carriage about to fall apart.

Li Huaiqing got up quickly and was very meticulous. He immediately told Ai Ying to take his driver ashore.

Lou Xiao immediately said, "Come on, Li Huaiqing, I'll take you."
