The three of them died quickly and quickly left the city.

"Where are we going?" Seeing that the city was getting smaller and darker behind him, the civet cat couldn't help asking Tang Ming.

"Go in this direction."

After leaving the city gate, Tang Ming pointed in a random direction.Then he looked at the crowd, "Are you okay?"

Xuan Jian naturally had no opinion.

The civet cat glanced at the direction Tang Ming was pointing. She didn't know if Tang Ming did it on purpose, but this direction, if she remembered correctly, was the direction in which Cheng Yan fled, and the direction to the capital of Zhao State.

Could it be that it was a lie to say that he had let go of Young Master Cheng?

The civet cat looked at Tang Ming suspiciously, and said, "Young Master, are we going to the capital of Zhao State?"

"Of course, they are all in the territory of Zhao State. Wouldn't it be a pity not to visit their capital? Let's go, while the night is beautiful."

After speaking, Tang Ming stepped forward.

Kanshu Jie Jie smiled and said, "I can go anywhere, as long as I have the money to take it." Then he followed in Tang Ming's footsteps.

Xuan Jian was silent, as early as the moment Tang Ming took a step, he followed Tang Ming's pace.The tanuki shrugged cutely, and then followed.

The night was dark and windy, and the figure of three people and one dead person was quickly swallowed by the thick darkness.

Chapter 439 The Ferry Girl

None of the three people who died was an ordinary person, and it was no problem to travel at night.

With light effort, several people can run faster than a carriage.

Of course, there was a rest on the way. When the fish maw was white on the same day, Tang Ming and several people came to a big river.

The river is wide and the water waves are calm, but except for Tang Ming, several people have exhausted their stamina because of their rush.

Suddenly, the civet cat pointed not far from the river and said, "Look, son, there is a ferryman there!"

A few people looked in the direction of the civet cat's fingers and saw a small wooden house sitting by the river, with a small boat tied to the wooden house.

Tang Ming fanned the paper fan and instructed: "Tan cat, go up and see if there is a ferryman. If there is, please ask him to cross the river with us."

"Yes, son."

The civet cat took the lead and walked slowly towards the wooden house with graceful steps like a cat's walk.

The civet cat quickly came to the door of the wooden house and knocked a few times.

dong dong!

Immediately, a frightened voice sounded from the wooden house, "Who?"

The civet cat was surprised, because the voice coming from the wooden house was the voice of a little girl.

"Who? Yes, is something wrong?"

The girl in the wooden house seemed to be frightened, and asked with a trembling voice.

The civet cat put away his astonishment, snorted twice, and said, "Are you a ferryman on this river? We want to cross the river."

The cabin fell silent.

The civet cat could sense that there was a breath in the wooden house, leaning against the wooden door carefully, and then lying on the wooden door, it should be checking the people outside through the gap on the wooden door.

When the girl inside saw a beautiful woman outside the door, she seemed relieved, and then the girl's voice sounded again, saying, "Why, why are you alone? You said just now, how many people are there in us?"

The civet cat hesitated for a while, but still stretched out four fingers towards the wooden house, "Four."

"Four, four?"

The girl hesitated: "My boat, too, is too small, I can only ferry one at a time"

Of course, the civet cat also saw the boat tied to the side. She had expected it, and when she heard the girl's words, she smiled, "It's fine to make four trips, we will pay for four trips."

The wooden house was silent for a while, and then the wooden door opened.

The civet cat saw a little girl with freckles on her face come out. The little girl looked at the age of thirteen or four years old. She wore a hat and had a timid expression on her face.

When the civet cat saw that a little girl really came out of the wooden house, her expression couldn't help but be startled, and said, "Little girl, you are so young, are you ferrying here?"

The little girl timidly glanced at the civet cat and replied in a low voice, "Yes."

At this time, Tang Ming walked over with Xuan Jian and the two of them, and said, "Limitsu cat, has the boatman promised to cross the river for us, why is he a child?" Tang Ming did the same when he saw a little girl coming out of the wooden house. I was surprised that he just didn't use his senses to sense the situation in the wooden house, so he didn't know that it was a little girl sleeping in the wooden house.

Tang Ming and several people saw the little girl, and the little girl naturally saw Tang Ming and several others.Tang Ming was okay, Xuan Jian and Kanshu didn't look like good people at first glance, and the little girl shuddered in fright, wanting to run into the wooden house and shut the door.The tanuki caught her.

The little girl struggled, "Let me go! Let me go!"

"Little sister, we are not bad people." Tanuki said softly.

However, the little girl was really frightened by Xuan Jian and Kanshu, and the civet cat's soft consolation was useless at all.At a critical time, Tang Ming was still required to come out.I saw the folding fan in Tang Ming's hand gently, and a breeze blew towards the little girl.The breeze was blowing, and the little girl suddenly calmed down.

Only then did Tang Ming signal the civet cat to let go of the little girl, and asked, "Little girl, why are you ferrying here at such a young age?"

Although the little girl was still a little scared, under Tang Ming's soothing spell, she was able to suppress the fear in her heart. She glanced at Tang Ming timidly. Seeing that Tang Ming was handsome and gentle, most of the fear and fear in her heart disappeared.The girl said, "My grandfather and I were the ferrymen here originally, but last week when my grandfather left, I was the only one who lived here on the ferry."

"poor child"

Tang Ming sighed, reached out and touched the little girl's head, silent for a while, and said, "In such a chaotic world, if I leave you here alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to live for long, why don't you stay by my side to keep you safe and full? Dress warmly, okay?"
