Chapter 66 The Arrival
After receiving the warning from the Lord of Qufeng City, A Da and Shi Wu sold the skinny horse to the owner of the inn who bought horses at a cheap price of five taels of silver that day. The next day, they packed their bags and checked out of Yunlai Inn early.
.They want to go to the tailor shop to get new cotton clothes first, and then rent a carriage to go to Fengdu.
Seeing that it was A Da and Shi Wu who were coming, the owner of the tailor shop greeted him enthusiastically: "Please come in, your new clothes are ready. Why don't you go inside and try to see if they fit?"
Shi Wu took the clothes and said there was no need to go inside for the interview, so he took off his coat outside and tried it on directly. He also chose the sky blue one after seeing Yang Yifan look good in that sky blue brocade suit, but now it feels very comfortable for him.
It was comfortable, but he always felt that it was not as good-looking as Yang Yifan. But when he saw Ah Da change from his old gray clothes and put on the new dark blue cotton-padded coat, he suddenly felt that his Grandpa must have been a handsome man when he was young.
Ah Da looked at Shi Wu's gaze and asked, "How?"
Shi Wu smiled and said: "You are full of energy and energy, and the boss's craftsmanship is really good."
When Shi Wu praised himself, the tailor shop owner said happily: "Young master is really good at talking. Speaking of which, I thanked you for helping me attract business last time. The girl even bought a piece of cloth. I made this for you."
These three pieces of clothing are really a lot of work."
Shi Wu laughed and said, "Thank you, boss."
The owner of the tailor shop waved his hands repeatedly and said: "There is nothing hard about making money. As long as you wear comfortable and good-looking clothes, I will make a solid amount of money."
Shi Wu did not try on the snow-white cotton coat again, but put away the three new clothes and waved goodbye to the tailor shop owner. Ada took Shi Wu to Qufengcheng Station, where he met the first
The coachman who came up to chat said that they were going to Fengdu. According to what the coachman said, it would take half a day to get to Fengdu from here. If we didn't stop for lunch, we would arrive at about midnight.
Ada negotiated the price with him, and the coachman thought for a while and said that he could also buy some seasonal fish from the lunch market at Fengdu Port for two coins.
Ah Da thought the price was acceptable, so he asked Shi Wu to get on the bus with him.
In the carriage, Ada originally didn't want to stay in Dongjiang Town. Since the other party had already started taking action, they should rush to Fengdu Port as soon as possible.
But Shi Wu still wanted to wait until he passed by Dongjiang Town to take a look at the Traveling Gate to see if it would open.
Seeing this, Ah Da had no choice but to tell the coachman to stop at the Travel Gate in Dongjiang Town. They had some goods that they had to transport to the Travel Gate first.
The coachman thought that he would indeed pass by the traveling gate, so he nodded in agreement.
After Ada and the others left Qufeng City, the Lord of Qufeng City released the carrier pigeon that had been prepared. It was the pigeon that informed Lu Li and Ada that they had left Qufeng City for Fengdu Port. The Lord of Qufeng City watched from the tower.
As Ada and the others drove away from the carriage, she suddenly hoped that Shi Wu would come to visit her Qufeng City again. She shook her head secretly, thinking that she really thought too much. In the Jin Kingdom, the people Zhen Guo Gong wanted to kill
How to live.
The journey was uneventful, and Ah Da and Shi Wu rested in the carriage. Shi Wu took the "paper clear lotus" beside him, looked at the umbrella cover carefully and said: "Grandpa Ah, where are you and my parents?"
When we met, had you seen this pond of lotus flowers?"
Ada took a look and said, "I stayed in the two darkrooms at that time, and I have never been to other places. I think your father and your mother met by this lotus pond."
Shi Wu also agreed: "Yes, otherwise my mother would not use this painting as an umbrella. She said that in her hometown, after mothers give birth to their children, they will make them an umbrella with their own hands. She hopes that in the future
No matter whether it is sunny or rainy, it can protect our children. So this piece of paper is very important to my mother and me."
Ah Da nodded and said: "My mother is worried when my son travels thousands of miles away. Even if they are far away, they will still miss you and look forward to the day when they meet you again."
"Yes!" Shi Wu replied firmly holding "a piece of clear lotus paper".
When passing through Dongjiang Town, the coachman specifically stopped in front of the Traveling Gate store. Shi Wu looked from inside the carriage and found that the door was indeed closed. Shi Wu had completely given up, but he also knew what had happened.
Due to the seriousness, I am more cautious and focused on the road ahead.
The portrait of Ah Si was burned by Ah Da in the charcoal stove before they went out. Ah Da would not leave any evidence to embarrass the Lord of Qufeng City. Now they are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, so they must be careful in everything.
They ate some dry food casually during the journey, and then Shi Wu fell asleep in the carriage. When the coachman said that Fengdu Pass had arrived, Ada gave him three coins and took Shi Wu out of the carriage.
Shi Wu stretched out and looked at the bustling crowds on the river bank. He was surprised to find that it was much busier than Qufeng City. The noon market on the river bank was full of fishermen selling seasonal catches, and merchants were also coming and going.
While picking and bargaining, there were also some shop owners who were clamoring for customers to stay on their merchant ships. Shi Wu even saw a two-story ship in the distance with a big flag with the word "Gamble" hanging on it.
A Da led Shi Wu all the way forward and asked a fisherman selling goods where the ferry was. The fisherman said that he could see it if he kept going straight ahead. The largest ferry was the Caobang ferry.
After Ah Da thanked him, he led Shi Wu away. When he reached the big ferry, Ah Da felt even more strange.
Seeing Ah Da stop, Shi Wu looked around in all directions and whispered: "Grandpa Ah, have you found the person following us?"
Ah Dadao: "No, after I came out of Qufeng City, I no longer felt like I was being followed."
Shi Wu took a breath and said, "Isn't that just right!"
"On the contrary." Ada frowned and said, "Since they didn't send anyone to follow them, they were either afraid that we would find out if we captured them and ask for some clues, or they were convinced that the people sent by Wuyou Valley could kill us directly.
But what I fear most is another situation."
Shi Wu asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Ah Da stared at the large Caobang ferry and said, "That's the boat."
"What's wrong with this big ferry?" Shi Wu asked doubtfully.
Ah Da Dao: "If we get on this big ferry and sail on the Dongjiang River, suddenly there are murderous intentions and all kinds of ambushes. Although we can escape from the siege for a while. But think about it, there is no way to the sky and no way to the river. We are everywhere.
There are constraints, and if you are not careful, your body will be gone."
Shi Wu said nervously: "Then how should we deal with it."
"Wait." Ah Da Dao.
"Wait?" Shi Wu asked confused.
A Da said calmly: "It depends on which one of us can keep his composure. Any ambush requires a momentum. It will be strong in one go, then it will weaken again, and it will be exhausted after three. Therefore, the longer the time, the more beneficial it is to us, but it should not exceed three days."
As he spoke, Ada looked for nearby residential boats, chose a half-old one, went up and knocked on the cabin, and what came out was a strong man with a cute baby girl in his hand. He looked at
Ah Da Dao: "What's the matter with you?"
Ah Da asked: "I wonder if there is any place where I can stay here."
When the man saw that he was here to stay for the night, he said to an old boat next to him: "Don't be afraid, we have a guest, why don't you wake up quickly. You spend every day gambling or sleeping, and you don't need to eat, right?"
As soon as he heard the man's cursing voice, a slovenly man with shaggy hair walked out of the boat next to him. He obviously hadn't woken up yet, and he almost fell when he staggered. He said with an embarrassed smile: "Third brother, I'm like this."
You’re not coming out anymore.”
It turns out that the man holding the baby girl is Xing Laosan who invited Ji Daudao to drink wine. They grew up together and have always had a good relationship. But now seeing Ji Daudao living a hazy life, Xing Laosan also hates the iron.
.
"You lazy guy, take the business!" Xing Laosan was excited for a moment, and his rude words made the baby girl in his arms cry. While he gently coaxed the baby girl, he pointed at A Da and Shi Wu,
Let him entertain you well.
"Ji Daudao" stretched out, walked over quickly and said, "Are the two guests staying overnight?"
Ah Da asked: "Is there still a room?"
"Ji Daudao" said hurriedly: "There are some, just big enough for two guests. I'll take you over to take a look first."
Ah Da asked as he walked: "What happened at Fengdu Pass recently?"
"Ji Daudao" scratched his head and said: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two guests. I've been either enjoying myself on the gambling boat or sleeping on the family boat, and I haven't paid much attention to the surrounding things. If the third brother hadn't called me today, I would have
Isn’t this another piece of business missed?”
"Ji Daudao" smiled sarcastically and led Ah Da to the cabin where they were staying. The space here was not big, just enough for two people to barely lie down, but there was a small window next to it, which allowed them to see Caobang's large ferry.
Ah Da Dao: “I don’t know how much it costs per night.”
"Ji Daudao" thought for a while and said, "Usually a customer is paid three cents, but if you two just pay five cents, that's enough."
Ada took out 20 cents from his pocket and said to "Ji Daudao": "We will stay here for the next three days, and this money is a small token of our gratitude."
When "Ji Daudao" saw that Ah Da had given him 20 yuan, he hurriedly expressed his gratitude and said, "Thank you very much, sir! Thank you very much, sir!"
Ah Da didn't say anything more, took Shi Wu into the narrow cabin, and then closed the cabin door.
"Ji Daudao" happily counted the twenty cents on the deck and said excitedly: "Today is really an auspicious day for me. I can go and kill everyone again!" With that, he returned to his cabin.
When Shi Wu heard what "Ji DaDa" said outside, he thought that "Ji DaDa" was no different from the top gamblers he saw at Jucai Casino. He thought of the ten gambling and nine cheats in the casino, and couldn't help but sympathize. "
Be bold."
Ah Da opened the small window and looked at the big ferry in Caobang, thinking about the subsequent plan.
As soon as he entered the cabin, "Ji Daudao" lost the excitement and joy he had just now, and instead changed into the calm expression that only Ah Si had. He weighed the twenty copper coins in his hand and was still recalling the contact with Ah Da Shiwu just now.
. He just thought about taking action, but Ah Da didn't know whether it was habit or intention to protect Shi Wu. He kept blocking Ah Si by Shi Wu's side. Ah Si was not sure of getting past Ah Da and killing Shi Wu, or even if he could
He killed Shi Wu, but all the flaws behind him were revealed, and it must have been the result of exchanging lives for lives. He could only wait until Shi Wu was by his side, and Ah Da was too late to help him. And as long as he succeeded with one blow, he would take advantage of the situation.
You can escape by escaping into the water. Even if Ada is an innate warrior and has the magic weapon in his hand, it will be of no use.
In this way, the three people on the same boat had their own thoughts. One was sympathizing with "Ji Daudao", one was thinking about how to kill Shi Wu, and the other was going to Caobang ferry to find out. And what was behind their thoughts?
