Chapter 138 A Puddle

If these words came from someone else, Zhi Changle would only find it absurd, but he would not feel that way at all if it was said by the little girl in front of him.

He looked at the painting under her branch, only to realize that there was a boat on the ground.

This ship is also very beautiful.

Zhi Changle doesn't know calligraphy and painting, but he can see how skillful the strokes on the ground are, the lines are smooth, the composition is complex, and the appearance is exquisite, which is by no means comparable to what they drew with branches.

At the same time, it can be seen that the shipbuilding mentioned just now is not just talk, but that she really has such a plan.

"It's almost time," Xia Zhaoyi said at this time, raised his hand to wipe the ground, disrupting the clay painting, got up and looked at Zhi Changle, "Get ready, let's go."

"En." Zhi Changle nodded.

There were five teams, a total of 16 people, including themselves, a total of 20 people.

Xia Zhaoyi followed Zhi Changle out, and Lao Tong had already led the horse and waited there.

The people in the hall noticed that the atmosphere outside had changed, so they all came out, and saw a little girl with a clean face standing in front of the two big men, looking at them with a smile.

"We are leaving," said the little girl. "Do you want to stay or come with us?"

"Where are you going?" Someone in the crowd asked.

"I want to go home," Xia Zhaoyi looked at him and said, "My family is in the capital, and I want to cross the Dongjiang River. If you are willing to go with me, I want to hire you to build ships for me. The commission is guaranteed to be one day a day. A meal of meat, three fresh fruits, and as many bowls of vegetable soup as you want. If you are sick, I can heal you for free, and during the time I am with me, I can protect you from any beast threat."

She spoke fluently, without any pause, and her tone was calm, but the arrogance in her words still made everyone stunned.

Everyone looked at her, and then at Lao Tong and Zhi Changle beside her.

These two men are hulking and tall, with several scars on their faces and calluses on their hands, they are hard to mess with at first glance.But in front of this little girl, they showed a little obedience. Many people's first thought was the master and servant in distress.

For this kind of little girl from a wealthy family who was pampered and pampered, she could say such a thing, except that she didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

Seeing You Yi exposed by the crowd, Lao Tong couldn't help turning his side slightly, and said beside Xia Zhaoyi: "A Li, what you said is too straightforward, if you don't lie to them, they will think you are bragging. "

"You still think I'm exaggerated and unrealistic." Xia Zhaoyi replied in a low voice.

"Then you still..."

"But I don't want to lie to them or take advantage of them. They have the right to know what they are doing with us." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Old Tong paused for a moment, then sighed softly: "Hey, do whatever you want, but they might treat us as human traffickers..."

I used to think that she didn't have the childishness that a child should have, but now it seems that she is still a bit naive.

Everyone is still looking at me and you, a little unable to understand the weird scene in front of them.

Xia Zhaoyi waited for a while, not wanting to waste time anymore, raised his hand and said with a smile: "That's it, let's leave it alone."

"Let's go!" Lao Tong shouted hurriedly, wishing for nothing.

Zhi Changle, on the contrary, was a little unwilling. Thinking of the boat he saw before, he really wanted to see how Ah Li would bring this painting out alive.

Old Tong led Qingyun.

Zhi Changle carried the wounded in the hall on his back.

Xia Zhaoyi took the lead and walked in front.

Several people are about to leave the yard.

A person behind suddenly shouted: "Wait, little girl!"

Xia Zhaoyi stopped and turned around.

The person who called her was a young girl with disheveled hair, haggard appearance, pale lips, and said: "From what you said just now, you seem to be able to see a doctor, so can you help her see her illness?"

As she spoke, she reached out to support the old woman beside her.

Everyone looked at the old woman, and then back at Xia Zhaoyi.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the old woman, then shook his head: "No."

"Why?" The girl frowned, "Or, are you lying to us?"

"I must cure people when I treat illnesses. I can't cure her illness once. If she is willing to follow me, I can cure her." Xia Zhaoyi replied.

"Then, can you stay?" the girl said, "If you can cure her and let us all see, we will believe in you and be willing to help you."

Xia Zhaoyi shook his head: "It's not helping, it's hiring or trading. You do things for me, and I'm also paying you. No one owes anyone."

"But……"

"I'll go with you." A man interrupted the girl, walked out of the crowd, and said with a gloomy face.

Old Tong recognized him, he was one of the first group of people, with a dagger without a scabbard behind him.

Everyone looked at him, and he was standing beside Zhi Changle.

"Anyone else want to join?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

Several people who were with this man hesitated for a moment, then walked out from the crowd: "Me!"

"I'll go with you too..."

Others gradually felt moved.

Leaning on crutches, the old woman asked hesitantly, "Little girl, if I want to follow you too, you, do you want me?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled slightly: "Yes."

The old woman's eyes became hot, and she didn't know why she was crying. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and walked out slowly: "Then I'll go with you."

"Then, then I'll follow you too." The girl said.

In the last group of 16 people, ten people were willing to go together. Xia Zhaoyi and the rest smiled and turned to leave.

Watching them walk away, the rest sighed and shook their heads.

"How did they believe her?"

"Let them go. I just found out that there is a ruined temple here. We have a place to live. We should be able to hide here for a few days."

"I don't know if they will be okay, that tall man, he can eat people."

"Even if they eat, they don't eat us, it's his fault."

…………

The reorganized team walked all the way down the mountain.

The water on the mountain washed down, making it difficult for everyone to walk.

Fortunately, Zhi Changle was no longer carrying the injured person alone. Several men took turns to carry the injured person, which relieved some of the burden.

Xia Zhaoyi walked in the front, according to the terrain he had observed before, deliberately avoiding the flames he had seen before.

But outside the hillside after she came out, she paused suddenly, and looked up at the big puddle in the distance.

Old Tong pulled Qingyun to walk beside her, he also stopped, looked over, and said in surprise: "Those are..."

"It's newly dug." Xia Zhaoyi said.

The distance is too far, the puddle is at least one mile away, it is very big, and the water around it rushes in madly, I believe it will be filled in a short time.
