C169 No One Was to be Ferried

A trace of surprise flashed in Lingsu's eyes, but then it dimmed down. She slowly shook her head and wrote on the paper, "I can't get out. "

A few simple and powerful words seemed to have imprisoned her entire life. She could not get out. Not everyone could go in and out freely, such as her.

Moonlight passed through the window and lightly sprinkled on the limestone floor. The limestone floor reflected a cold and lonely moonlight. It just so happened to shine on Lingsu's side profile. She looked so lonely and pitiful. Xiao Nanfeng could not bear to look at Lingsu's face again. He turned his head. He did not know what to say.

Why did the topic not seem to be suitable to be brought up now? He wanted to change Lingsu's life now. He did not know exactly what kind of place this was. The last time he walked out of here, he wanted to turn back, but he could not find a way back.

He remembered that after he went out of the house, he would pass by a small hill. The roads on the hill were all fixed, but the mountain road would take half a day. He would meet a few pavilions in the middle, but no one stopped there.

When he reached the foot of the hill, he would see a small ferry. The ferry. There was only one small boat next to it. On the boat sat a boatman wearing a bamboo hat. Other than the boatman, this small boat could only accommodate one person.

In other words, when Xiao Nanfeng was brought in, Elder Xiao did not follow him in. It was this boatman who brought him in. As for whether or not someone else took Xiao Nanfeng from the boatman later on, he had no idea.

Of course, the last person Xiao Nanfeng saw was naturally Lingsu. If Lingsu and the boatman knew each other, Did the boatman not bring Lingsu out?

After the boatman sent Xiao Nanfeng to the other side, a birch forest appeared in front of them. There was a very narrow and curved path among the dense birch trees. Although this path was not long, it still required an hour to walk out.

After passing through the birch tree forest, there was a small mountain in front of them. However, there was no way out of this mountain. There was only a small cave at the foot of the mountain. The cave was filled with water. It was so deep that the bottom could not be seen. There was a small raft in front of the cave. This raft was obviously prepared for Xiao Nanfeng. He did not know if he used this raft when he came in. In any case, he had to use this raft when he went out.

Of course, the raft could only accommodate two people. After passing through this small and narrow cave and walking on the mountain road for another hour, he could see the entire Gusu City in front of him. Xiao Nanfeng's memory of this trip was still fresh in his mind. That place was truly a place that only immortals could live in.

If Xiao Nanfeng was allowed to stay here for the rest of his life, he would probably go crazy soon. She asked about how long Lingsu had been here for, and how long she had written for sixteen years.

Xiao Nanfeng's heart was trembling. Lingsu had never seen the outside world, but she knew from Xiao Nanfeng that there was such a wonderful world outside. Xiao Nanfeng didn't know what he did was right. No, but if there was a great hope hidden in a person's heart, but it would never come true, then it would never come true. Then, would this person be depressed?

Xiao Nanfeng was determined to bring Lingsu away. As long as his acupoints were unlocked, he would bring her away!

Lingsu had already entered her dream as she sat on the chair. Xiao Nanfeng turned his body and found that his legs seemed to be able to move. He sighed and stretched. He could not sleep anymore. He didn't know how many dangers he had to face along the way, but what had happened outside was all rolling around in his mind.

He tiptoed out of the bed and looked at the night sky outside the window. He gently pushed Lingsu awake. Lingsu's sleepy eyes immediately widened to the size of ripe grapes. Although she did not speak, her eyes were already filled with surprise.

Xiao Nanfeng smiled and said softly, "Let's go, I will take you out!"

Lingsu's heart was beating violently. She almost could not believe it. Xiao Nanfeng actually did what he said, and his actions were so fast. Xiao Nanfeng held her hand and slowly walked to the door. No one could be seen outside.

He just stepped out of the door, but at this moment, Lingsu stopped. When Xiao Nanfeng turned around, he found that Lingsu's face was full of hesitation.

This threshold was like a devil spell, firmly trapping Lingsu in this room. Xiao Nanfeng sighed, "The outside world is very good. Don't tell me you want to spend the rest of your life here?"

How long was a person's life? Actually, it was not long. If he continued to stay here and spend his entire life here, wouldn't it be a waste?

Xiao Nanfeng saw through Lingsu's expectations. He did not care about Lingsu's objections and forcefully pulled her out. Under the faint moonlight and the scattered starlight, the two of them held hands and walked on the mountain road. At this time, Lingsu no longer hesitated and seemed to be in a very happy mood.

Xiao Nanfeng knew that if a person wanted to change his life, the first thing he needed to do was to change his living environment. Xiao Nanfeng was not a god, but he wanted to change Lingsu's life. He always felt that it was a very cruel thing for a sixteen year old girl to be trapped in a wooden house deep in the mountains.

After passing through the pavilions, Lingsu's mood became even better. She seemed to be humming a little tune. This little tune was very melodious. Xiao Nanfeng knew that Lingsu originally knew how to talk, and her voice must be very pleasant to the ear.

As for why it had become like this, he did not want to ask because he did not want to touch the softest part of Lingsu's heart. Xiao Nanfeng stopped in front of the small ferry. Lingsu's heart seemed to jump again.

He walked to the side of the grass and observed the ferry situation. It was late at night and the moon was as cold as water. When it shone on the calm surface of the lake, it seemed exceptionally cold. There was a lonely boat next to the ferry. The boatman beside the boat was not there.

Just thinking about it, it was obvious that the moon was already in the middle of the night. Who would still be working at this time of the day? Xiao Nanfeng smiled bitterly. His doubts were too severe. He held Lingsu's hand and strode towards the boat.

But halfway, Lingsu did not want to go down anymore. Her entire body was trembling. Xiao Nanfeng could clearly feel that this child was afraid. But what exactly was he afraid of? Could it be that he was afraid of water?

Xiao Nanfeng smiled. He said faintly, "There's nothing scary about water. We have a boat!" Yes, there was nothing scary about water, but a boat on water was not scary.

At this time, Xiao Nanfeng also stopped because he saw that there was one more person on the boat. Not many. This person had never left the boat. He actually fell asleep half leaning against the cabin.

Lingsu did not move. She tried her best to hold Xiao Nanfeng's hand, not letting him take another step forward. But Xiao Nanfeng did not have any intention of turning back. He held Lingsu's hand with both hands. "With me around, there is nothing to be afraid of. "

Lingsu's trembling body slowly calmed down. They walked to the small ferry and carefully looked at the person on the boat. It was still the man wearing the bamboo hat. Xiao Nanfeng did not have a very deep impression of this person. He did not even see this person's face clearly.

Because the bamboo hat was indeed not small. It almost covered his entire face, leaving only a mouth behind. His mouth was full of beard, thick and dark beard. From the exposed chin, one could see that this man's skin was not dark, and could even be considered delicate. It seemed like he had not been exposed to much sunlight.

Xiao Nanfeng carefully untied the rope on the shore and gently picked up a boat oar from the pile of boats. The oar was made of wood and the white wood seemed very old. Not a drop of water dripped from the oar. It seemed that it had not been used for a long time.

Xiao Nanfeng placed the oar on the shore and pulled Lingsu onto the boat. This boat could only accommodate two people. Now that there were three people on the boat, the boat immediately began to sway.

Lingsu's heart almost jumped out. But fortunately, the boatman did not wake up. Xiao Nanfeng also heaved a sigh of relief and nodded to signal Lingsu to go inside. But there was really no room for Lingsu to stand inside. As long as Xiao Nanfeng slightly turned his body, he would bump into Lingsu and even push her off the deck.

Xiao Nanfeng also realized this, but the space was too small. He did not even dare to bend down. But if he didn't bend down, the oar wouldn't be able to get out of the water.

Xiao Nanfeng looked at Lingsu helplessly. Lingsu seemed to be very sorry. If it wasn't for her, Xiao Nanfeng could have left openly, and no one would have stopped him.

At this time, Xiao Nanfeng had an idea. He pointed at his back and motioned for Lingsu to climb up. Under the moonlight, Lingsu's face could not be seen clearly, but Lingsu could clearly feel that her face was completely red.

Xiao Nanfeng's back was wide and full of strength. His strong muscles made Xiao Nanfeng look exceptionally strong. Lingsu's body was extremely soft. A delicate fragrance blew from her back. Xiao Nanfeng could feel Lingsu's intense heartbeat. He could not help but blush.

Although he was a few years older, Xiao Nanfeng was still a young man in his early twenties. How could he resist this kind of gentle temptation? Especially Lingsu's gentleness was not meant to tempt him.

Xiao Nanfeng gave himself a few slaps in his heart. His eyes were full of apology, but he could not see it clearly under the moonlight. He slowly bent down and felt the gentleness Lingsu had brought him.

The oar swayed gently in the water. It did not cause much water, but the boat had moved forward in the water. The boatman had not woken up yet. It seemed that he was too tired during the day and was used to sleeping on the bed. Otherwise, how would a normal person sleep under such a shaky situation?

The shore was right in front of them. Xiao Nanfeng and Lingsu's eyes revealed hope. At this moment, the boat suddenly stopped. Xiao Nanfeng was shocked and quickly turned around to look at the boatman. As expected, the boatman was no longer in the cabin. Xiao Nanfeng put down the oar in his hand and looked around. He suddenly realized that the boatman was already standing at the top of the cabin.

Xiao Nanfeng's forehead was already sweating. Although rowing did not consume much physical strength, he was rowing with a girl on his back. The boatman on top of the cabin still had his head lowered, as if he never wanted anyone to see his face.

Xiao Nanfeng thought to himself that this person's face must be extremely ugly. If it was a good looking face, he would want to make his face several times bigger for others to see.

"Senior, you're awake. Why did you bump into me here so early in the morning?" Xiao Nanfeng seemed a little embarrassed. He started to speak incoherently.

"Hehe, what a coincidence. Originally, it was supposed to be tomorrow morning's work. Tonight, you will do it for me. " The man still didn't raise his head. His voice was very old, even older than Xiao Nanfeng's voice. However, he wasn't a young man. Xiao Nanfeng could clearly feel that there was an unusual force in this man's body.

Xiao Nanfeng nodded and said with a smile. "It's all my fault for being impatient. But there seems to be something wrong with this ship. Why can't it move?"

The man smiled coldly. A gurgling sound came from his throat. "Yeah, it can't move. It looks like we can only wait until tomorrow to leave. "

Xiao Nanfeng's expression changed slightly. He knew that the problem with the boat must have been caused by the boatman. Although he did not know how, there must be a very covert way.

Xiao Nanfeng looked at Lingsu who was beside him. Lingsu's face was already as pale as snow. Her eyes were full of dead grey, as if her hope for life had already disappeared. Xiao Nanfeng grabbed her hand. Her hand was as cold as water, and traces of coldness had seeped into her bones.

Lingsu was really afraid, but up until now, what part of this boatman made her so afraid was there that Xiao Nanfeng still could not detect.

Time passed by slowly. He knew that since the boatman stopped the boat, he would not let it continue moving during the day. If that was the case, then wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?

Xiao Nanfeng looked around. There was still a long distance from the shore. At least from the looks of it now, it was impossible to cross it with just Qing Gong alone. Moreover, he had Lingsu with him.

The boatman did not say anything, and his posture did not change at all. Xiao Nanfeng sighed, "Senior, is there a chance to repair this ship?" The boatman said coldly. "No. "

"Since we don't have a chance to fix it, how are we going to get ashore during the day?" Xiao Nanfeng asked doubtfully. The boatman nodded. "Yeah, how are you going to get ashore?"

Xiao Nanfeng smiled bitterly. He thought to himself, It's not you, it's us, the three of us! However, he said, "Why don't we think of a way to fix the boat now? This way, we can get ashore normally during the day. "

The boatman continued to nod: "That makes sense. Makes sense. What a pity, what a pity. " Xiao Nanfeng was stunned. "What a pity?"

"It's a pity that you can't fix this ship at all. " The boatman said coldly. Xiao Nanfeng asked back. "Why? If I can't do it, can senior do it?"

The boatman chuckled. "I can't fix it either. This ship isn't damaged to begin with, so how can it be repaired properly?" Xiao Nanfeng's heart sank. He knew that the boatman had laid his cards on the table.

He stared at the boatman without blinking and said in his heart, "Just don't flip the ship over. " However, his hand had already reached behind his back. There was nothing special on his back, only a knife that was close to his body.
