Happy peasant girl

Chapter 176: The Disaster of the Fish in the Pond (1)
"Lin An?" Suddenly someone called Lin Qingxi uncertainly.

Lin Qingxi held the teacup suspiciously and turned her head. She saw Dong Ying walking behind her with two people. She hurriedly put down the teacup, stood up and asked with a smile, "Uncle Dong, why are you here?"

Dong Ying looks to be in his 30s, Lin Qingxi is only ten years old, and Dong Ying is his own savior, so Lin Qingxi directly and kindly calls him "Uncle Dong".

Dong Ying was greeted so cordially by Lin Qingxi, and a rare peaceful smile appeared on his face. He said: "Today, my son is going to Yancheng of Wu State by boat. Let me first check what is missing on the boat. Someone moved some cargo to the bilge."

"So that's the case, Uncle Dong, do you need my help? Don't look at my small arms and legs, I'm actually very strong." Lin Qingxi said with a smile.

"No need! By the way, are you at the pier?" Dong Ying saw that Bai Hua and Bai Yang were also there, and they had luggage and goods beside them.

"The family suddenly sent a letter saying that there was an urgent matter, so the young lady went back first. The young master sold out the goods in his hand and bought some Wu country's specialties. He planned to take a boat to Yancheng today, but the official boat left, and there was no private boat. Go." Lin Qingxi said loudly.

"So that's how it is!" Dong Ying didn't say anything, chatted with Lin Qingxi and Bai Hua, and left.

However, not long after, Dong Ying sent someone to tell Lin Qingxi and Bai Hua that his family's boat could take them to the other side.

A good thing is a good thing, but Linqingxi is a little hesitant. It's a coincidence that they are all on the same private boat!
After thinking about it, Lin Qingxi took Bai Hua and the others on board the boat. Now that she can leave Wu country one day earlier, she can return to Linjia Village one day earlier.

After boarding the ship, Dong Ying arranged two larger rooms for them, and asked them to put their belongings in the bilge.After thanking Dong Ying, they stayed in the room and did not come out.

"Master, Zongzhu thinks that Uncle Dong who invited you to board the boat is not a warm-hearted person, but he has a different attitude towards you." Zongzhu has a photographic memory, so the expression on Dong Ying's face when he saw Lin Qingxi was very different. Remember it clearly.

"Uncle Dong saved my life, and I didn't feel that he had other plans for me. I just thought he liked me. Maybe your son is naturally likable, ha ha!" Although Dong Ying followed a strange But he is a very normal person in Linqingxi's eyes, and he is just and kind, otherwise he would not have rescued him.

"My lord, don't forget that you are..." Lin Qingxi has been wearing men's clothing during this time, but Bai Hua has not forgotten that she is still a girl, and Palm and the others already know that Lin Qingxi is a woman disguised as a man, but Not too surprised.

"Don't think too much about it. We have no gold, silver, or treasure on us. There is nothing worthy of others' schemes. Don't take other people's good intentions as bad intentions. Go and have a good rest." Lin Qingxi doubted Bai Hua and Zongzhu They have been trained and taught by her these days to be a little too suspicious, which is not good.It is right to be careful, but it is a bit unfounded to be too careful.

In fact, Dong Ying really wanted to bring Lin Qingxi and the others on board, so he went to his master to plead for mercy.And the reason he did this was because Lin Qingxi was very similar to his dead daughter, even though Lin Qingxi was a silly and cute boy in his eyes.

The big boat traveled safely on the Guanjiang River for five days. On the evening of the sixth day, the boat on Linqingxi arrived at Qiling Gorge, where the mountains are densest in Wu and Chu. autumn rain.

At night, the rain became more urgent. Sitting on the rickety bed, Lin Qingxi couldn't sleep no matter what.Bai Hua and Bai Yang have been guarding Lin Qingxi's room, and at night Lin Qingxi sleeps on the bed, and they sleep by the door.

Linqingxi tossed and turned, and the two of them couldn't sleep peacefully, and they didn't know whether it was the sound of the rain that made them a little irritable, or the boat was a little stuffy after all, and the two of them felt as if something was about to happen.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Finally, Bai Hua sat up from the floor and asked Lin Qingxi who was on the bed.

"I don't know why, but the sound of the rain outside and the pitch-black night reminded me of a sentence, and I felt a little uneasy in my heart." Lin Qingxi said.

"My lord, what are you talking about?" Bai Yang and the others slept with their clothes on, so he also sat up.

"When the moon is dark and the wind is high, when you kill people and set fire to them. Tell me, nothing will happen to this boat, right?" Lin Qingxi simply sat up too.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door, and the three people in the room suddenly became nervous.

"Who is it?" Bai Hua asked warily.

"Brother Bai, it's me, Zong Zhu, open the door!" Zong Zhu whispered outside.

Zong Zhu and Zong Jie lived in the room next to them, after Bai Hua opened the door, the two walked lightly together.

"Is there something wrong?" Lin Qingxi always felt that the two of them came over in the middle of the night, and they must have discovered something.

"Young master, Palm Festival always feels that something is wrong. The smell of the river seems to be wrong." Palm Festival is from Youta country. Like Palm Bamboo, he doesn't like to close the windows when he sleeps. Although the windows of the rooms on the boat are small, they still open.

Zongzhu and Zongjie don't take boats often, and they sleep very lightly on the boat, and they can wake up at the slightest noise. In addition, Zongjie's nose is very sensitive, so he is sensitive to not only the atmosphere around him, but also the smell.

"Brown Festival, what's wrong?" Lin Qingxi asked a little nervously, but nothing should happen.

"It smells fishy, ​​and it's bloody. Although it's very mild, it can't escape the villain's nose!" Brown Festival said with certainty.

"Could it be... the smell of the fish being killed by the cook on the boat?" Lin Qingxi grasped the quilt tightly with both hands.

Palm Festival was about to answer when Dong Ying's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Lin An, you and your young master stay inside and don't come out. No matter what happens outside, don't come out. I will send someone to protect you!"

Afterwards, Dong Ying disappeared, and then two guards stood outside the gate of Linqingxi.

"It's over, maybe you met the bandits on the river?" Lin Qingxi really regretted getting on this boat now.

At this time, Bai Hua, Bai Yang, Zong Zhu, and Zong Jie quickly surrounded Lin Qingxi's bed, protecting her in the middle.

"My lord, don't be afraid, Bai Hua won't let you get into trouble!" Bai Hua is confident that he can deal with ordinary bandits, let alone Bai Yang by his side.

Although Zongzhu and Zongjie don't know martial arts, they were also warriors of Yuta Kingdom, and ordinary people can't hurt them.

Surrounded by four big men, two of whom are fairly strong in martial arts, and there are guards outside, Lin Qingxi is finally not so nervous.However, she hurriedly put on her clothes and put some self-defense items on her body.
