Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 84
Human life is always the most concerned thing in the world. When she arrived, there was a man "thumping" in the river, some people who knew how to swim were jumping in to rescue, and the rest of the troublemakers were whispering around the embankment.

Mo Jiu stretched his head to look, and suddenly heard a sentence in his ear, "Brother Chenggui, look quickly, the young lady is there!"

"Ha, the second master's method really worked. You guys go over and ask the young lady to go back to the house—"

Seeing a group of people walking towards her, Mo Jiu wished she could retract her head into her stomach.It seems that Xiao Erlang's character is not very good, but he has enough brains. Not only did he find her here, but he also used such wicked methods to lure her out.

"Girl, what should I do?" Aunt Lan was so nervous that her voice trembled.

"Bastard!" Mo Jiu cursed in a low voice, "It's not too late, let's run separately and meet at the rented farm."

This guy was bold, but he wasn't nervous. He ran away with his feet, and disappeared into the crowd in an instant, without a trace.

But when she left like this, Aunt Lan and Mei'er became anxious.

"Where is the farm?"

"...I don't know."

"Where are you going?"

"I... over here. You... over there."

The river lanterns were like lights hanging on the river, illuminating the way for Mo Jiu to escape.She runs very fast, but she has been the target of others from the very beginning, so she has been unable to get rid of those who are chasing her.Fortunately, there were a lot of people on the river bank tonight, and she was small, so she squeezed through the crowd, and those people couldn't catch up for a while.

Panting, she squeezed through a bend in the river, and found a paddle steamer moored on the bank ahead, with a ladder hanging on the deck, straight into the bank, as if for the convenience of getting on and off the boat.

Mo Jiu looked back, subconsciously climbed up the hanging ladder, jumped onto the deck, then pulled back the ladder, lay down on the deck, and waited for the group of people to run over before she breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she decided whether to go in and say hello to the owner of the boat, Gu Er's voice came from behind, "Miss Nine, we meet again."

The first time was a coincidence, the second time was a coincidence, and the third time he met Gu Er at such a time, it was hard for Mo Jiu to believe it was a coincidence.

But he was an old acquaintance anyway, and Mo Jiu didn't reject him when he ran into him on the way to escape.

She pulled off the cloth scarf on her head, and saluted him politely, "I'm bothering you again, please forgive me, Master Gu."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Er waved his hands, wondering: "Why is Miss Nine here?"

"Oh oh oh, I'm passing by."

You can't "road" to other people's boats when you pass by?Mo Jiu knew that he couldn't justify himself, so he looked around and technically changed his words, "Your family is good, are you here today?"

Seeing that she regarded this paddle steamer as a flower boat, Gu Er blushed a little, "Miss Jiu was joking, this boat belongs to the family. It usually travels between the two sides of the river to sell some goods. Today, my eldest brother and his family are not in the house. Am I not here to find someone?"

"Oh, yes." Mo Jiu stared at the river lantern in the distance, and said again: "Your family seems to be very rich?"

"Barely enough to get by." Gu Er smiled modestly.

"Then I don't feel guilty." Mo Jiu thought of the chickens and ducks that Gu Da provided her, the "God of Cookery".

"What do you mean by that?" Gu Er clearly didn't understand.

"Hehehe." Mo Jiu looked at him with a smile, "I mean, since you are rich, if you don't put a table on such a beautiful day and have some wine, wouldn't it be a waste of the riverside scenery?"

There were ready-made food and drink on the boat, Gu Er quickly set them up, Mo Jiu was not polite, took the wine glass, and enthusiastically poured wine for him, "Come, come, we met by fate, let's have a drink first!"

Gu Er sat cross-legged across from her, but did not touch the glass.

Mo Jiu stared, "What's the matter, you don't like me, why don't you eat when you're invited?"

Gu Er showed embarrassment, he didn't have the nerve to say that these things belonged to him, he just said in a low voice: "Miss Nine, please eat and drink, how does Gu feel, it looks very much like... Hongmen Banquet?"

Mo Jiu brought over the wine glass in front of him and drank it all down, "Afraid I'll be poisoned? If you don't drink, I'll drink."

She really wanted to get this guy drunk and ask why he always happened to appear in front of her, but if he became vigilant, she would have no chance.

While eating and drinking happily, she looked around for the movement of the boat going down the river bank, and suddenly saw a familiar figure running over in a panic, looking around, and almost called out her name—it was either Aunt Lan or Aunt Lan. who?
Mo Jiu picked up the wine glass, took out the slingshot, and slammed it into the boat. The iron bullet just landed at Aunt Lan's feet.

Aunt Lan was startled by the bouncing river sand, she suddenly looked up, and when she saw Mo Jiu, she was overjoyed, "Girl, so you are here, let me find you easily."

At this moment, Mo Jiu also felt that his heart was broken, "Didn't you mean to split up and go back to the farm? Why are you looking for me?"

Aunt Lan wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, "But I can't find the farm."

Mo Jiu sighed helplessly, "God is so kind that you can live to this day." She was about to ask Gu Er to put Aunt Lan up on the hanging ladder, when she suddenly remembered something, "Where is Meier?"

Aunt Lan wept bitterly: "I was about to tell the girl that when I ran over, I heard Mei'er crying. She seemed to be caught and beaten..."

Mo Jiu asked, "Why didn't she run away?"

Aunt Lan burst into tears, "She couldn't find the farm either."

Rubbing her forehead, Mo Jiu no longer had the energy to thank God for her kindness, she turned to look at Gu Er with twinkling eyes, "Can you..."

"No." Gu Er frowned and said, "Miss Jiu, it's inconvenient for Gu to intervene in this matter, after all, it's just the Xiao family's business."

Mo Jiu glared at him, "Don't worry, I've laid it flat. I just want to tell you—" She pointed at the food and drink on the lacquer table, "This sauced duck claw is pretty good, keep it for me."
