"Finally arrived at the nearest city!"

"Okay! I can finally have a good rest!"

"Eh~ This city seems a little special?!"

Lake City.

This is a very special city. The whole city almost lives on the water. It is a living water city.

Enter the city via the drawbridge.

As soon as you enter the city, you can see various small boats floating on the water.

"How many guests want to take a boat?"

As soon as everyone stepped into the city, unable to move forward, they saw a boatman approaching a small boat and stopped in front of them.

Meng Fei and the others did not refuse and got on the boat directly.

Wandering on the water, the feeling reminded Meng Fei of Venice, which is also a water city, but this one has a more oriental flavor, which makes him find it more interesting.

Traveling in a city like this.

Naturally and indispensable is the appreciation of the surrounding scenery.

In the water of this lake city, there are always some thick stone pillars that are surrounded by four or five adults pulled up from the water. These are not only things to stabilize the water surface, but also a place to post some notices in the city.

And the construction of water buildings are also inseparable from the help of these pillars.

"It's really pleasant to rest in a city like this."

As he said that, Meng Fei put one hand on the baffle and felt extremely relaxed.

As the boatman pulled them along, there was no need to think too much about the destination. It must be to the inn.

However, this inn is not just a matter of finding an inn, but almost all the boatmen in front of the city gate have some dealings with those who run the inn, so naturally the boatman also takes them to the inn that he has a relationship with. .

As for why they knew it, it was because the boat passed a clearly visible inn, but he did not stop.

But they didn't say anything. After all, they were tired and didn't care about those small problems now. They just wanted to sit leisurely on the boat.

"Damn it, I'm dying of thirst, I'll just settle for this water!"

I saw that the boat was not peaceful at this time. The big yellow dog stuck out its tongue and kept breathing. It often took Xu Zhengyi with it along the way, so it was normal to be more tired.

Then, it looked at the deep water under the boat, its eyes gleaming, as if it was about to dive in.

"Hey, why is this dog talking?!"

"Hey! You can't drink this water!"

I saw the boatman watching the big yellow dog's movements. First he was amazed that it could talk, and then he was amazed that it wanted to drink water.

"Nonsense, this water is not muddy? Why can't you drink it?!"

The thirsty big yellow dog really couldn't listen to such words, and stretched out its long tongue to get into the water.

"It's necessary! Someone died in this water just a few days ago!"

When the boatman saw this scene, he patted his thigh anxiously and shouted.

"What?! Ahem! Not bad, just a little bit worse!"

As soon as the big yellow dog heard that someone had died in the water, he immediately curled up his tongue and retracted it into his mouth.

"Has anyone died in this water? To be honest, people who live in a city on the water are not stupid enough to jump into the water. They are also people with excellent water skills, right?" Meng Fei couldn't believe it.

After hearing this, the boatman nodded, then shook his head violently, and said straightly: "This young master is right, and the people in our city think so too, so they think it is evil, and the person who died was also recognized by someone. It’s said that he was from the city and was very good at water. How could he fall into the water and die? It’s really strange.”

"Has something like this ever happened in your city?" Gu Liu asked curiously.

The boatman shook his head and his whole face wrinkled. Maybe he felt more and more evil the more he thought about it, but finally he said to a few people: "There must be some dead people, but generally speaking they are children who are not very good at water, like this This is the first case of a city dweller and a person with excellent water quality, and what’s more, the appearance of his death is even more strange!”

"What kind of weird trick?"

Meng Fei and Gu Liu both frowned, it seemed that things were not that simple.

When the boatman thought of that scene, he shuddered all over, and his voice was trembling as he said, "A man was cooked alive. You think it's infiltrative or not?"

"Does this mean this water has become human soup?!"

The big yellow dog's eyes bulged, and he felt a little nauseous when he remembered that he was about to stick his tongue into the water. Maybe it was because he had been with Meng Fei and the others for a long time, and he felt more and more like a human being now.

Then, Meng Fei put his palm into the water. The temperature from his hand was very normal and nothing abnormal, which made him even more puzzled.

"This water feels normal to the touch. Could it be that the person has been cooked and thrown into the water." Meng Fei guessed.

However, after saying this, the boatman shook his head and said that was not the case, and explained: "It's not that simple. If it was cooked and thrown into the water, it would be better to say that it was done by some evil person, but the officers and soldiers at the time salvaged it. When I got up, the water was boiling and steaming! "

"Is it so weird?"

Meng Fei couldn't believe it. If he really said this, then it was really the water that boiled people to death.

This is really evil.

"Hey~ Is this young master a Taoist priest?"

Only then did the boatman notice Gu Liu's clothes.

Gu Liu nodded and responded to him.

"Okay! Since you are the Taoist priest, can you help us find out what the problem is? Although the body was thrown away, we who live in this city are still very scared!" The boatman had a pleading look on his face. expression.

Gu Liu was also a little hesitant.

Seeing him hesitate, the boatman seemed a little anxious. He patted his thigh and said with a desperate expression: "Do you like this? I don't want the money. As long as you help us find the problem, we will all agree! I will be righteous today!"

Seeing his words and performance, Meng Fei and Gu Liu were a little surprised. Then Meng Fei said jokingly: "I really didn't expect that you, a boatman, have such awareness!"

The boatman shook his head and said helplessly: "You don't know, I was not good when I was young, and I finally had a girl at this age. I spoiled her like a treasure. Now this happened in the city. I can't sleep all the time, for fear that there are some unclean things in the city. My life is cheap, but it doesn't matter. I'm just afraid that something will happen to my baby..."

After saying that, his eyes were a little red.

"Alas, parents are pitiful. Don't worry. As a Taoist priest, I should do these things. Money is not important. You don't have to worry!" Gu Liu also sighed and then agreed to him.

Gu Liu signaled Meng Fei with his eyes, and Meng Fei nodded without saying anything more.

"Hey! Thank you so much, Taoist priest! You don't even want money. I don't know how to repay you. I'll give you one!"

"No!"

Seeing that the boatman was about to kneel, Gu Liu hurried forward to help him up and told him to row the boat well and be careful not to bump into it.

"Let's do this. When we get to the inn, settle them first, and then take us to the place where the bodies were found."

Meng Fei instructed the boatman.

After hearing this, the boatman's movements immediately accelerated.
