Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 219
"I'm not crazy, I just feel that we can't just listen to the rumors and get scared. Even if the rumors are not groundless, they will definitely be different from the real situation. If the leader of the Wutou Gang is really that powerful , then it is not too late for us to retreat." Ye Qiongdan said without haste.

"Well, exciting!" Xu Mingzhu said excitedly after a moment of silence.

"Do you want to go with me? It may be dangerous. You are your father's heart, so you are not afraid of accidents? Why don't you go back now." Ye Qiongdan said with concern.

"I, Xu Mingzhu, haven't seen such a big storm in so many years? Are you still afraid of a group of bandits? It's because you are so good that I am willing to bow down. In my father's guard command post, no one is my opponent except my father!" Xu Mingzhu Mingzhu said proudly, "They're just a group of bandits, and they're not people from the Jianghu. What can we do?"

"Can you protect yourself?" Ye Qiongdan raised an eyebrow.

"No problem!" Xu Mingzhu patted her chest, "We are sworn sisters. We agreed on the day we sworn to each other. We will share the blessings and share the difficulties! Since we swore in front of the Lord Chenghuang, how can we let you alone? The reason for going deep into the tiger's den? If something really happens, I'll run first, and I'll be the last one. From now on, my father and mother will be yours, and my stupid brother will drag you into taking care of me!"

"Don't! If something goes wrong, your father will definitely chop me into a pulp," Ye Qiongdan laughed, "Let's stop talking so depressingly, let's go!"

"Girl Dan, do you really want to go?" The second uncle rubbed his hands, his face full of embarrassment, "That's no good, it's none of your business, how can I let you take care of it? Besides, it's a gangster Ah! We ordinary people can't afford it! We must never provoke it! If we lose money this time, we will treat it as a disaster avoidance, and we all want to open something, and there is always money to be earned slowly."

"Yes." Xiang girl followed and nodded.

"If you insist on going, then take me with you, I don't worry about you!" Xue Yatou said loudly with a worried expression on her face.

"You don't know much about boxing. If you are in danger, we have to rescue you." Ye Qiongdan patted her on the shoulder. "Besides, do you need someone to take care of the family business? Are you If you want me to do business outside, are you worried about the voices at home? Ah Xiang is down-to-earth and hardworking, you are brave and outgoing, and Ah Hai is calm and careful. Only by entrusting the business to you can I feel relieved."

"This..." Hai Yatou bit her lip.

"Okay, I'll pack up some clothes and leave. You guys remember to visit the second aunt in a few days, and try to persuade her, so that she and the second uncle can put down their grievances as soon as possible and make up as before." Ye Qiongdan reminded worriedly.

The whole family was a little bit sad and worried about her leaving.

After Ye Qiongdan packed her clothes, she went out with Xu Mingzhu and got into Xu's carriage.

When the carriage left the village, the gossip of the villagers also reached her ears.

"I think the second wife of the Ye family is born poor!"

"Isn't it? It's been a long time since I lived a good life with Sanfang, and I owe such a large debt. That box of gold, silver and jewelry plus the 2000 taels of silver, there must be 5000 taels of silver, right? , this price is really scary!"

"Yeah, it's too scary! So, to be a human being, you have to accept your fate. People who deserve to be poor for a lifetime should stop being coy. Let me see if You Yue'e can get complacent this time?"

……

Ye Qiongdan listened to the ridicule and ridicule of the villagers, and became more determined to help Erfang recover the money.

The carriage brought the two of them to the pier, and then Ye Qiongdan took Xu Mingzhu to rent a boat.

When the boatmen heard that they were going to Wutou Island, they all shook their heads.

The killing incident of the Wutou Gang in the past two days has caused a commotion in the whole Yiling County. Few passers-by have dared to travel by water these days.

Although the Wutou gang used to be arrogant, they seldom killed people, at most they intercepted goods and occasionally robbed a woman.

In the end, it was Ye Qiongdan who paid a high price, and there was only one boatman who was indifferent to life and death in his seventies and was willing to take them to the vicinity of Wutou Island.

The boat sailed on the vast river, following the rushing water, all the way down.

Xu Mingzhu's mood also fluctuated like fallen leaves on the river.

"Are you afraid?" Seeing that her face turned pale, Ye Qiongdan asked with concern.

"A little bit," Xu Mingzhu felt her heart beating fast, as if it was about to jump out of her throat, "but I don't want to turn back."

After a while, Xu Mingzhu couldn't help but asked again: "Is the Wutou Gang really that scary?"

"The scariest thing in this world is not the rumor, but the imagination brought by the unknown."

Ye Qiongdan's calm words immediately put her at ease.

The river was still rushing, but her heart gradually calmed down.

When it was getting dark, the boat stopped at a hidden place on Wutou Island.

"This is the cliff at the back of Wutou Island. No one usually comes here," said the old boatman. "I'll take you here. I'm going back. My grandson is still waiting for me. You two little girls Ah, you should go back with me, this aconite gang is not a place for you, you must not jump into the fire pit!"

"Thank you for your kindness, old man. You can go back. This is ten taels of silver. You can take it." Ye Qiongdan gave him the silver according to the agreed price.

"Hey, money is good, but money must be spent by living people. You two little girls are so rich, what's wrong with doing something? Why did you come to Wutou Island? Isn't this sending you to death? If a person dies, he will have all kinds of wealth in his lifetime, and he will not be able to enjoy it after his death," Lao Chuanfu persuaded earnestly, "Go back, go back, you have also seen Wutou Island, and going back is enough for you to talk about Stop, don't go forward to die."

"Old man, we really have things to do, and we all have the ability to protect ourselves. As the saying goes, if you are poor in school, but rich in martial arts, we are all practitioners, and ordinary people are not our opponents." !"

The old boatman babbled and persuaded them for a while, until it was completely dark, and then he left uneasy.

"Qiong Dan, what should we do next?" Xu Mingzhu asked immediately.

"Of course it's roast chicken!" Ye Qiongdan picked up a lotus leaf bag, "We bought this at the pier. Let's make a fire and heat it up, and then we can eat it!"

Xu Mingzhu followed her to pick up some dry firewood. After the two lit the dry firewood, they buried the lotus leaves under the soil.

After a while, the roast chicken will be hot.

Ye Qiongdan pulled the lotus leaf bag out of the soil, peeled off layers of dried lotus leaves, and the alluring fragrance burst out immediately.

Before Xu Mingzhu approached, a carefree voice came from behind the two of them: "Hey, it smells so delicious! Why don't you let me taste it, grandpa?"

Ye Qiongdan wiped her hands with a handkerchief, tore a chicken leg and gave it to Xu Mingzhu with a blank expression.

When Xu Mingzhu heard this, she became very angry: "What are you? How dare you call yourself grandpa in front of this lady?"
