Chapter 222 Don’t be afraid, it’s okay
They continued walking along the lake. As they walked, they could see scholars sitting or standing by the lake.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others involuntarily lowered their footsteps for fear of disturbing the scholar's interest.
After walking for a while, they saw a cruise ship floating on the lake. The three of them felt relaxed, and they heard two or three people standing together discussing something.
Finally they didn't have to make a sound of footsteps. They had already seen where the cruise ships were docked. There were five or six cruise ships, but no guests had been boarded yet.
When they walked over, the three scholars in front of them happened to be asking someone to rent a boat together.
Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other and rejected the scholar's kindness.
The three of them rented a cruise boat alone. When the boat reached the middle of the lake, the boatman came over and asked them: "Young gentlemen, do you want to go around the lake?"
Shi Xiaoliu Nodding to Xia Yu, the boatman returned to the bow. Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu exchanged glances.
Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan: "After we go around for a while, we will go directly ashore to find a good restaurant for dinner."
Shi Zelan looked at the expressions on their faces: "After we land, we will find a way to inform the government."
When he saw the headman and the servant, Shi Zelan came over and took the food from his hand. .
Shi Xiaoliu glanced at her: "The stones are tied to sink too deeply. We still have to find a way to make them float."
If you have more dishes, we can also send them to you. Give the neighbors a taste. "
Shi Xiaoliu looked at him at that time: "Okay, just plant it, it doesn't take much effort anyway.
Shi Xiaoliu squeezed the magic formula with his fingers, and Shi Zelan dropped a purification talisman. Xia Yu's finger that she originally wanted to move naturally took it back.
The three of them landed ashore, their heads He didn't go back either.
Both Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan understood the true meaning of his words. When the cruise ship was walking back, Shi Zelan reached out and pointed in the direction to go out.
The chief and two guards were sitting in the yard and asked, "Did you go to the southern suburbs to visit the lake yesterday?"
Xia Yu saluted the chief and the guards very generously. Shi Zelan also went to the kitchen to get water at this time.
There was originally a vegetable patch in the yard, but the tenants over the years had obviously not paid much attention to the yard.
I believe that the vegetables we grow are more tender and delicious than those grown by vegetable farmers. "
When the cruise ship turned to the left, Xia Yu said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "This is a really good place. The lake is very clean. ”
The next day, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were busy copying herbal medicine books in the front yard, while Xia Yu was organizing the vegetable patch in the backyard.
After a while, the people reading by the lake, Inadvertently looking at the place where the cruise ship was docked, they noticed something floating on the lake.
After the New Year, Xia Yu was interested in doing some gardening in the vegetable field. He said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "We usually eat less, but we can't go out to buy vegetables all the time?
Now there is such a thing in the backyard There was a vegetable patch, and when neighbors asked about it, we had an excuse to respond.
After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan came, they thought they wouldn’t live long, so they didn’t bother with the vegetable plot in the backyard. < br>
The head of the house opened the courtyard door with two servants, and Xia Yu happened to come out of the backyard carrying a vegetable.
The elders wanted to toss the vegetable patch in the backyard. Let them go.
"Xiao Liu, Sister Lan, look at how fresh the vegetables we grew are."
Soon, the guards rushed over and wrapped up the surrounding area.
"Gone."
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu answered their questions almost unanimously.
The mayor exchanged glances with the two guards, and the guard then asked: "How many of you went to the lake? When did you go?"
After Shi Xiaoliu carefully answered the officer’s question, he curiously asked: “Did something happen after we left?”
The chief glanced at Shi Xiaoliu and said, Explained to the two guards: "He is young, smart, and curious." Can't cause any big trouble.
After they looked at each other, the older one sighed: "There is nothing bad to say.
About an hour after you left, the sky got dark, and when the scholars were preparing to go back, they saw three corpses floating in the lake. "
Shi Xiaoliu looked at the guards in shock. He saw two corpses yesterday. Why did another corpse come out later?
His shock happened to make the two guards feel relieved. , they said to Shi Xiaoliu: "You, don't be so curious in the future. "
After Shi Xiaoliu sent the commander and the two guards away, he sent a message to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "How did you feel yesterday? "
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu held out two fingers at the same time, and Shi Xiaoliu sighed: "Our cultivation is not enough. ”
Shi Zelan had a slight feeling: "Xiao Liu, there must be something else going on here.
Oh, the imperial examination is about to take place, but something like this happened in the capital."
"Also There are scholars by the lake, and I wonder if there are any students who have taken the imperial examination.”
The three of them kept talking, their expressions were very dull.
In the eyes of the chief, who was worried and turned back, he felt that the three children were frightened.
He came in and asked Shi Xiaoliu directly: "Xiao Liu, your elders have been going to temples and Taoist temples for a long time. When will they come back?"
After hearing what the chief said, Shi Xiaoliu hurriedly said: "Head, We are going to the Taoist temple in two days.
The Taoist temple has been preparing to hold a free clinic, and we are going to help.”
“Go ahead, you elders are kind-hearted, and this is the time. Avoid a disaster."
"Chief, have the officials found out the identities of those three people?"
After listening to Shi Xiaoliu's words, the head of the village shook at him: "You, why are you so curious?
Didn't you see that your younger siblings were so frightened that their faces turned ugly?
You know medicinal herbs, please make them two bowls of soothing soup at night."
After the governor left, he sighed to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "There is one more person, I guess he has a grievance and gets a chance. Only then can we float."
Shi Zelan looked at him and Xia Yu: "Let's not discuss this matter, okay?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu nodded, they didn't want to discuss this kind of thing.
It was just the neighbors standing outside the yard door at this time: "Xiao Liu, Brother Xia, Xiao Lanzi, did you go swimming in the lake yesterday?"
The faces of the three of them suddenly changed. Feeling miserable, Shi Xiaoliu welcomed the neighbors into the courtyard gate, but none of them came in. He insisted on standing at the courtyard gate to talk to them.
Shi Xiaoliu quickly talked about yesterday’s trip to the lake, and then someone entered the courtyard gate.
They were a little embarrassed and explained to the three of them: "We are also worried that you are young and careless, and may easily provoke some things."
Shi Xiaoliu, Shi Zelan and Xia Yu were speechless. Xia Yu said directly: "We took a cruise around the lake yesterday."
"You didn't eat anything on the lake or on the boat. Things, nothing to be afraid of, nothing to worry about.”
