Nongmen beautiful wife

Chapter 52

However, if we go by land, the time is too long. If we encounter the same danger as in the forest before, it will take a few more days, and the time will be even longer.

Besides, the shopkeeper just said that water thieves sometimes appear, which means that water thieves may not necessarily be encountered.

After weighing again and again, Liu Xiaodong decided to go by water.Liu Xiaodong cheered herself up, and Uncle Hu also said that she is a lucky person, and she will be fine.

Liu Xiaodong went to ask the shopkeeper where he was going to take the boat, and seeing that he had already said everything he could say, Liu Xiaodong still decided to take the boat, so he didn't say anything more.

"If you go east from here, there is a Ruyi Restaurant in front of you. If you go south from the restaurant, you will reach the pier, where you can take a boat."

"Thank you shopkeeper."

Xiang Qin heard the conversation between Liu Xiaodong and the shopkeeper at the stairs, and thought that his guess was really good, but he had never heard of water robbers before, Xiang Qin still felt a little worried, and then saw Liu Xiaodong leaving the inn, he still He quietly followed behind Liu Xiaodong, watching her from afar.

Liu Xiaodong followed the route the shopkeeper said, and went to the pier first to have a look. There were various boats of different sizes parked on the pier. Liu Xiaodong walked up to the pier, found a boatman who was having a rest, and asked, "Brother, I want to ask, do you know where there is a boat to Xiangcheng?"

"Go to Xiangcheng by water? Are you afraid of encountering pirates?" The boatman was also very curious to see that a woman dared to go so far by boat alone.

"It's okay, I'm in a hurry, brother, do you know where to take the boat?"

"Go over there and ask the man in blue." The boatman pointed Liu Xiaodong to a person not far away, "Hey, Lao Zhang, there is a girl who wants to go to Xiangcheng by boat. "

"Come here." The man named Lao Zhang heard the shout and replied.

"Thank you, brother."

Liu Xiaodong walked towards the boatman in blue.

"Want to go to Xiangcheng by boat?" Lao Zhang smoked a cigarette at the bow and glanced at Liu Xiaodong.

"Well, brother, do you know where to take the boat?"

"Just wait a few more days, and you can go when the ship that went to Xiangcheng returns."

When Liu Xiaodong heard that he had to wait, he became anxious, "How long will we have to wait?"

Lao Zhang counted the days and said, "Just wait another two or three days."

"Why do we have to wait for the previous boat to come back? Aren't there still so many boats parked at the pier?" Liu Xiaodong didn't understand why these boats were not used.

"These are cargo ships, all heading to the south of the Yangtze River, and there is one passenger ship going to Xiangcheng." Lao Zhang knocked the soot on the cigarette stick.

Liu Xiaodong had to wait a few more days.

Back at the inn, Liu Xiaodong paid another two days' rent and went back to his room.The shopkeeper didn't ask much when he saw the situation. Businessmen like them know how to watch their words and expressions, and talk less and ask less.

Liu Xiaodong rested in his room for another day. Anyway, he had nothing to do. On the second day, Liu Xiaodong went to the street for a walk.

The streets here are not at all the same as Taohua Village. In addition to selling things, there are also performers, monkeys, crickets, and acrobats on the street. Liu Xiaodong is dazzled to see it.

There were many people on the street, Xiang Qin didn't dare to get too far away from Liu Xiaodong, and he didn't dare to get too close to her. He was almost spotted by Liu Xiaodong twice, but luckily he missed Liu Xiaodong's eyes in time.

Liu Xiaodong felt that the person he saw just now looked very familiar, very much like...Xiang Qin.Liu Xiaodong thought for a long time before finally saying the name that he could never forget in his heart.

Impossible, Xiang Qin is still in Taohua Village, how could he appear in Tongcheng?Liu Xiaodong shook his head, as if he could erase Xiang Qin from his mind.It must be that I have been too tired recently and have hallucinations, yes, it must be so.

Liu Xiaodong didn't bother to watch the excitement anymore, so he bought some dry food and some commonly used medicines in the street for emergencies, and thinking of the shopkeeper saying that he might encounter water robbers, he bought another pack of arsenic.

Tongcheng has relatively strict supervision on buying and selling poisons, so when Liu Xiaodong said that he wanted to buy arsenic, the drug boy in the pharmacy asked her what she was buying arsenic for.
Liu Xiaodong said that there were too many rats at home, so he bought them to poison the rats.The drug boy only sold her a penny.

Although Liu Xiaodong felt that this amount of arsenic was not enough, he also understood that if he said more, it might make people suspicious, so he returned to the inn with these medicines.

After resting in the inn for two days, Liu Xiaodong went to the pier again on the third day and asked if the boat to Xiangcheng had returned?When can we leave.

Lao Zhang looked at the sky, "I should be back at noon or in the afternoon. If I arrive at noon, the boat will leave in the afternoon. If I arrive in the afternoon, I guess the boat will leave tomorrow."

Liu Xiaodong nodded, and went back to the inn to pack her things. She was going to wait at the pier, so that when the boat arrived, she could directly wait for the boat to depart.

Liu Xiaodong didn't wait too long. It was almost noon when he packed his luggage from the inn and arrived at the pier. After waiting for half an hour at the pier, he saw a boat sailing towards the pier in the distance.

"Brother Zhang, do you see that ship?"

Lao Zhang raised his head and glanced at the water, "That's right, it's this one."

Liu Xiaodong thought that he could finally set off for Xiangcheng.

The boat slowly approached the pier, and more than a dozen people got off the boat one after another, and finally the boatman came down, "Hey, Lao Li, how is this trip going? Is it going well?" cried the boatman coming down.

The boatman surnamed Li replied, "It went well. Be careful when you leave in the afternoon. I haven't encountered water robbers in this trip for more than [-] days. I guess they should come out this time." .”

"Fuck you, stop talking nonsense here, go back and see your wife."

Lao Li laughed twice, "My mother-in-law was pregnant when I left, and I don't know what's going on now, I have to go back and have a look."

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't get in my eyes here." Old Zhang spat at him.

Lao Li was not annoyed, he tied the boat, greeted the other boatmen who were loading the cargo on the pier, and came back.

Liu Xiaodong walked up to Lao Zhang, "Brother Zhang, the boat is back now, so when can we sail?"

"Leave after lunch."

Xiang Qin looked at the boat bound for Xiangcheng parked on the pier, the boat was only that big, what if Liu Xiaodong recognized it?
Xiang Qin thought for a while and decided to shave his beard. Xiang Qin took out the dagger he carried with him, dipped it in some water, and shaved his beard dryly. Xiang Qin looked at himself in the water. He almost forgot what he looked like.
