C210 Fishing on the River Shore

Looh Miaoer suddenly said, "What if Steward Chen doesn't listen to Young Master Yang's arrangements and insists on doing what he wants?"

Lin Mu said, "He boarded the ship as Young Master Yang's follower. As long as Young Master Yang is on the ship, even if he is the king, he is still Young Master Yang's follower in our eyes. If Young Master Yang disembarked halfway, he will not be on the ship. If he doesn't leave the ship with Young Master Yang, he will be nothing. Otherwise, according to the rules of our sect, we can still punish him by stealing onto the ship."

Looh Miaoer said again, "If Young Master Yang disembark halfway, what if someone pursues him?"

Lin Mu said, "The one who entrusted us to contact the ship is Young Master Yang himself. When the ship arrives in the capital, as long as Young Master Yang is still alive, no one has any reason to find us to investigate Young Master Yang's matter."

Yang Yinglong smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that after I disembark from the ship, I have to think of ways to save my life. Otherwise, I will implicate your sect."

Lin Mu smiled and said, "So, I really don't want Young Master Yang to get off the ship halfway and give those with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of. It's not a big deal for us to take some responsibility. It's not worth it for Young Master Yang to be hurt because of this."

Looh Miaoer said, "What Duke Lin said makes sense. Why don't Young Master Yang come with us to the capital and help Miss Ma to avenge Yu Dayuv and General Yu? At that time, wouldn't it be the same if he followed General Yu to kill the pirates?"

The reason why Yang Yinglong wanted to leave the boat early and go to Zhejiang to seek shelter with Qi Jiguang was because he was worried that it would be difficult to get along with Du Qi and the others. Everything seemed to be fine now. After hearing Looh Miaoer's words, he could not help but be moved. However, he was still somewhat worried that Du Qi would blame him for going back on his word. For a moment, he did not know how to reply to Looh Miaoer's words.

Du Qi saw that Yang Yinglong looked like a completely different person compared to when he had just boarded the ship. He could not help smiling and said, "Young Master Yang, you don't have to look at me because I am also a member of the Camel Horse Gang. Young Master Yang is my client, and the idea of the boatman and Miaoer is my decision. Young Master Yang, don't worry. You can accompany us all the way to the capital. "

Yang Yinglong suddenly said," No wonder everyone on the ship is following your lead. Then... "

Du Qi smiled and said, "That's right! Miaoer and I accidentally heard that Steward Chen and Young Master Liao were plotting to harm people and were thinking of ways to investigate. Since Young Master Yang came to find us himself, we could only play along and agree to Young Master Yang's request. We followed them onto the ship to see what kind of plot Steward Chen and the others had. Now, other than Miss Ma, Young Master Yang, Miaoer and Steward Chen on the ship, there were also ten other people. The rest of them are from the Camel Horse Gang."

Hearing this, Young Master Yang couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. If he didn't understand the situation and insisted on harming Miss Ma, perhaps he really didn't even know how he died, but he saw that Du Qi was telling the truth without any suspicion. He could not help but feel even more touched. It seemed that they did not only treat others with sincerity, but also with sincerity. Instead, they never forgot that they could see everything. He suddenly felt that it was normal for people to be like this between people. Only then would it be meaningful.

As he spoke, the sky was already dark. The boat was already leaning against a stone shore that was concave towards the shore. Standing on the balcony, he could not feel the boat's movement at all. As he looked around, he saw that the river water was filled with a burst of white light. With a faint "Hua Hua" sound, the water rushed past the boat in the distance. The dark banks of the river seemed to be two sleeping giant pythons wriggling slightly under the contrast of the water. In the distance, there were a few stars of fishing fire flickering, like ghostly fire that was intermittent and extinguished. Smelling the faint smell of water, for no reason at all, it made people feel a sense of fear from the depths of their hearts.

It was only when a disciple of the Camel Horse Gang hung up two angel-inducing wind lamps on the balcony. The dim yellow light lit up their eyes and drove away the darkness around them that they felt a little more at ease.

Lin Mu said, "This is a small ferry. The people nearby call it Shi Jidu. Due to the rapid flow of water here, there is a huge rock about a thousand feet in radius in the center of the river. It is hard for humans and animals to get close to it. There are trees and weeds everywhere. Every time something strange happened, ordinary people would not dare to walk down this path. However, there were still a few people who were anxious or greedy to cross the river from here, so there were only two boats crossing the river. Each boat only makes one round trip every day, and when it's time, they don't wait. "

Looh Miaoer curiously asked, "What strange thing happened?"

Lin Mu hesitated for a moment before saying, "No one knows the exact details. I heard that it is the first day and the fifteenth night of every month. Two bright green ghost flames suddenly appeared on the huge rock, followed by a fierce wind. The heavy rain poured down, and not a single fish or fire in the vicinity was spared. They were all extinguished by the wind and the rain. There were even some night ships passing by at that time. Nineteen would die if the ship was overturned, even if there were people who were lucky enough to escape with their lives. They wouldn't dare to tell me what they saw and heard at that time. " Lin Mu seemed to be afraid, and his voice trembled as he spoke.

Looh Miaoer asked again, "What day is it today?"

Lin Mu was startled. He said fearfully, "Oh my god, today is the first day of June. God and Buddha, please don't let such a thing happen. I beg all of you, God and Buddha, please!"

Du Qi suddenly shouted, "What?! Today is the first day of June? "

Lin Mu said in a panic, "Yes, is there anything wrong?"

Du Qi really didn't think that today would be the first day of June - his birthday! He thought back to that night four years ago, when he put on the jade bracelet and cultivated the internal force mantra that the Yellow Emperor had personally taught him. Under the strange actions of the jade pendant, he attracted heavenly tribulation for no reason, causing him to lose his family and home in an instant. After being tormented, he finally possessed the yin and yang energies, and had to cultivate Guang Chengzi's secret art for eternal life. For the past four years, the pain of losing his family was not enough to be expressed with words. Fortunately, Yao Fugui relied on each other for survival, and only then did his wounded little heart obtain a trace of comfort.

Today was his 16th birthday, and he looked at the swaying fishing fires near and far from the river shore. He looked at the twinkling stars in the dark night sky, just like how Uncle Gui kept blinking at him in the dark stone house, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. Uncle Gui's words seemed to ring in his ears again. "When you are 16 years old, I will take you to the most popular girl in the Spring Breeze House. Otherwise, you will feel that you have come to this world for nothing. "

Du Qi could not help but find it funny when he thought of this. Why had he talked about such a topic with Uncle Gui at that time? When he thought of Uncle Gui, Du Qi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of homesickness.

When he saw Du Qi ignore Lin Mu's question, he seemed to have fallen into deep thought. The expression on her face kept changing. Looh Miaoer could not help but laugh, "Why are you so shocked? Looking at your sneaky appearance, are you secretly plotting something?"

Du Qi woke up from his deep thoughts and did not hear Looh Miaoer's words clearly. He hurriedly said, "What?"

Looh Miaoer smiled and said, "Miss Ma sent someone to call you over to have dinner. Do you want to go?"

Du Qi was puzzled and said, "Didn't we agree to drink the celebration wine together? Why would she send someone to call me over for dinner? Doesn't she know about this? "
