Start Six Maids

It's just that the tune is lonely and depressing, giving people a feeling of desolation.

Ding!

After a long time, the song ended.

Chu Ci opened his eyes, and the woman adjusted the pipa expressionlessly.

Chu Ci took out some broken silver and put it in front of the woman.

The woman was slightly taken aback, and looked up at Chu Ci suspiciously.

Chu Ci smiled lightly and said, "You play the pipa very well, can you play another song?"

"I want to listen to Master Ji Yunong's Xiangjiang Huayueye, you should be able to play it?"

The woman shook her head slightly, and said softly, "I got on the boat this time and bought a ticket!"

The woman implied that she was a passenger this time, not a singing girl in a teahouse.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Chu Ci's face, he put away the broken silver, and said in an apologetic tone, "Sorry, I didn't know..."

"It's okay!"

The woman interrupted Chuci, bowed her head and said, "I'm used to it."

Chu Ci was silent for a moment, opened his mouth and said, "Sorry."

The woman didn't answer, but stood up holding the pipa and wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Chu Ci asked aloud, "Dare to ask the girl's name? Are you also crossing the Heishui River?"

The woman still didn't answer, turned around and walked away.

"Boy Chu!"

The drunk Taoist called Chu Ci not far away, "Look who I caught?"

Chu Ci heard the sound and looked, and the drunk Taoist was holding a child's wrist.

It's him?

When Chu Ci first came to Heishui City, he wanted to steal Chu Ci's purse. After being caught, he falsely accused Chu Ci of being a human trafficker, and then fled in the chaos.

Unexpectedly, he was caught by the drunk Taoist on the merchant ship.

"Is that you little thief?"

Chu Ci chuckled lightly, and then said with a stern face pretending to be fierce, "See where you're going this time!"

Gong Ping pulled his hand vigorously, trying to break free from the shackles of the drunk Taoist, but struggled for a long time without success.

In the end, he could only look at Chu Ci, pretending to be tough and said, "You, what do you want to do?"

"hey-hey!"

Chu Ci sneered, and said in a low voice, "Dare to steal my things!"

"I'm going to put you in a sack and sink directly into the Blackwater River!"

Chapter 285 The Homeless Swallow

Sink into the Blackwater River?

Gong Ping just thought about it, then he felt cold all over and shivered fiercely.

"no, do not want!"

"I don't want to be sunk into the Blackwater River!"

Gong Ping looked past Chuci, saw a woman holding a pipa, and hurriedly shouted, "Sister Yanzi, save me!"

swallow?

Chu Ci was stunned for a moment, followed Gong Ping's line of sight, the woman who had just left stopped and turned around to look.

"Gong Ping?!"

The woman was startled, and walked back quickly.

"what happened?!"

The woman looked suspiciously at Chu Ci and Gong Ping whose wrist was being held by the drunk Taoist.

Gong Ping pointed at Chu Ci and shouted, "Sister Yanzi, save me, he's going to sink me into the Heishui River!"

Yanzi looked at Gong Ping, her pretty face was slightly cold, "Gong Ping, are you stealing again!"

"I, I didn't." Gong Ping lowered his head and said weakly, "I didn't steal his purse."

call···

Yanzi sighed softly when he heard the words, then looked at Chu Ci, and said softly, "Young master."

"I apologize to you for Gong Ping, can you let him go?"

"If there is any loss, I can compensate you!"

"Cough!" Chu Ci coughed lightly, and said aloud, "Girl, there's no need to do this, it's all a misunderstanding!"

"I didn't intend to sink him into the Blackwater River. What I said just now was to scare him."

After finishing speaking, Chu Ci looked at the drunken Taoist, "Master Taoist, do you still want to let him go?"

As soon as the drunk Taoist let go, Gong Ping ran behind Yanzi like a fish.

"Sister Yanzi, he was so scary just now!"

Yanzi turned her head and glared at Gong Ping, "Shut up! I'll deal with you later!"

Yanzi looked at Chu Ci and said softly, "Young Master, I'm really sorry just now."

Chu Ci waved his hand and said with a smile, "Now we're clear!"

Yanzi was startled, but then reacted, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"My name is Yanzi, do you dare to ask the son's name?"

A smile appeared on Chu Ci's face, "My name is Chu Ci."

"She is as cold as snow, and this is a drunk Taoist."

Chu Ci pointed to Leng Ruxue and Zui Taoist, and introduced them to Yanzi.

Yanzi nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Hello."

Chu Ci greeted and said, "This is not a place to talk, let's go to the third floor."

Several people boarded the third-floor cabin and sat down in the rest area.

"Come on!"

Chu Ci greeted, and a sailor came over after hearing the sound.

"What would the guest want?"

Although the tea in the rest area is free, other things cost money and are very expensive.

"Have some snacks and fruit!"

"Okay, wait a minute!"

After a while, the sailor brought fresh snacks and fruits and put them on the desk in front of Chu Ci.

Chu Ci stretched out his hand to signal Yanzi and Gong Ping, and said with a smile, "Let's eat something first."

Gong Ping looked at the exquisite snacks and fresh fruits in front of him, and swallowed greedily.

"Sister Yanzi, can I eat these?"

Gong Ping raised his eyes to look at the swallow beside him, and asked aloud.

Seeing Gong Ping's longing eyes, Yanzi couldn't help being startled, then nodded and said, "Eat."

"Hey!"

Gong Ping responded excitedly, reached out and grabbed a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Well···"

"Really delicious!"

After swallowing the snack, Gong Ping grabbed another pear and bit it.

The pears are crisp and tender, and the juice drips down Gongping's fingers onto his clothes, but he doesn't care at all.

Seeing this scene, Yanzi couldn't help but feel distressed, and said softly, "Eat slowly, and no one will grab you."

"Well···"

Gong Ping ate the pears with big mouthfuls, looked at Yanzi and said, "Sister Yanzi, you eat too, these pears are so sweet!"

Yanzi reached out and rubbed Gong Ping's hair, and said with a smile, "you can eat."

"Ok!"

Seeing Gong Ping eating happily, Yanzi smiled even wider.

"Miss Yanzi, do you know him?"

Chu Ci looked at this scene and asked aloud.

"Ah."

Yanzi nodded slightly, and said, "Gong Ping's parents died on the Heishui River when he was a child, and he was left to live alone in Heishui City."

Chu Ci was taken aback when he heard the words, "Is he an orphan?"

Yanzi said, "It's not just him, there are seven or eight other children of the same age."

"Although Blackwater City is prosperous and prosperous, it is still difficult for these children to survive."

"So they are sometimes unavoidable..."

Yanzi stopped the topic and said, "I will help them when they encounter difficulties."

Gong Ping ate all the pear pits in his hands, wiped the juice off his hands casually, "Sister Yanzi is very kind to us!"

"Sister Yanzi brought us food and taught us how to read!"

Yanzi wiped the pear juice on Gongping's cheek with his hand, and said with a smile, "Let's eat your food!"

"Ok!"

Gong Ping grabbed another piece of snack and ate it.

Yanzi continued, "These children are not bad in nature, but they are a bit mischievous."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, looked at Yanzi and asked, "Miss Yanzi, what about you? Are you also from Heishui City?"

Swallow shook his head slightly and fell silent.

After a while, he said quietly, "I'm just a homeless swallow."

Gong Ping stuffed the snack in his hand into his mouth, and muttered, "Sister Yanzi, Heishui City is your home!"

Yanzi sighed softly, then looked at Gong Ping, frowning slowly.

"Gong Ping, why are you also on the merchant ship?"

"I..." Gong Ping turned his eyes and was about to answer out loud.

Yanzi stared, "Don't lie! You know I can tell!"

Gong Ping's face collapsed when he heard the words, so he had to answer honestly, "I'm going to find Hongye!"

Yanzi shook her head helplessly, and said, "Hongye was taken away to learn her skills, why are you looking for her?"

"No!"

Gong Ping raised his neck and said in a stubborn tone, "Hong Ye was taken away by the bad guys!"

"I want to save Hongye!"
