Time Travel Adventure

Chapter 44 Encountering an Assassin

Fireworks exploded in the sky. "Why are you setting off fireworks? Are you going to ask the boatman to come back?"

Brother Man threw the fireworks barrel directly into the water and the fire starter into the pile of clothes.

Brother Man pulled me into the cabin, and I didn't react when I saw what was wrong with the championship.

I sat back in my original seat, and Brother Man sat next to me. He put the clams on the table, took out a knife, and skillfully cut the clams open.

The pearl of this oyster looks really strange, it is a purple pearl. I picked up the pearl and looked at it in the palm of my hand.

"What a strange pearl, purple."

"Your husband risked his life to get this, and you still don't thank me."

"Thank you, Brother Man."

"Not sincere." After saying that, Brother Man pointed his finger at his face, and his meaning was very clear.

I shyly turned away and ignored the rude request.

"Others are playing tricks on their lords, but I'm risking my life to buy medicine, but even my wife won't even look at me."

I looked at Brother Man and asked, "Who is your wife?"

Brother Man put his face in front of me and said, "You agreed to this just now by the boat."

I wanted to refute, but Brother Man covered my mouth. A figure came out from the shadows outside, with a shiny knife in his hand.

I looked at Brother Man in horror. Brother Man held the knife in his hand, rushed towards the shadow, and stabbed it directly.

"Ah!" A painful howl was heard from outside. The man was stabbed in the calf, and then there was a sound of someone falling into the water.

"Rip." Before I could react, a shiny knife stabbed into Brother Man's waist, just a little bit away from piercing him.

It turns out that the person in front of us is a decoy, and the person behind us is the one who wants to kill.

Brother Man quickly took the scabbard of the knife that had just flown out and blocked the knife. Sure enough, the man turned the knife in another direction and slashed at Brother Man.

Brother Man picked me up from the waist with one hand and put me across the table. The scabbard was about to break. I saw him supporting the table with one hand and kicking the man through the cabin.

I heard the sound of "splashing" into the water, and Brother Man pulled me out of the cabin. There was another lighter and smaller boat at the bow.

As soon as Brother Man and I got on the boat, sparks appeared on the boat ahead of us and it caught fire.

Brother Man was rowing hard. The farther we got, the bigger the fire on the boat became. I put the purple pearls into the belt around my waist.

The belt around the waist can hold some things. There is a small gap near the front of the body, and I could put small change in it through the gap.

I was worried so I moved the pearls from the outside of the strap to the inside to be safe.

The fire was no longer visible and a drizzle was falling from the sky. I got into the cabin, which was much smaller than the previous one and was very inconvenient.

There were exactly two straw raincoats and an umbrella inside. I took out the straw raincoat and wanted to put it on Brother Man, but Brother Man waved his hands.

Brother Man pulled me into the cabin and we squeezed together. Mainly because I wanted to see the scenery outside, I had to sit at the cabin door. Brother Man was worried about me, so he sat next to me.

There are lush trees on both sides of the river. Now the rain has formed a line, and the raindrops hit the water surface, making a sound. The boat is carried forward by the current.

“It feels like going to the south of the Yangtze River.”

"You like it here?"

I nodded frantically, "It's nice here. I should have read more books earlier. Now I can't even utter a single line of poetry."

"Hahahaha." Brother Man touched my head.

"I remembered a line from a song. Brother Man, please don't be disgusted."

"My thoughts are like the drizzle in June. I have a special affection for you and I will be honest and sincere for you~"

I looked at Brother Man with a look of seeking praise and approval, and Brother Man clapped one hand to praise me.

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, I didn't know my Lele is such a talented girl."

At this moment, I don’t know whether it is the joy of having my vanity praised, or the recognition of the person in front of me.

“This song has a name.”

"Um... I don't remember."

"Then let's call it Acacia."

"The lovesickness in Wang Wei's poems~"

"Oh, you also know about lovesickness, recite it to me."

I imitated what I remembered, reciting with my head shaking, "Red beans grow in the south, and in spring they sprout. I hope you can pick more, for this is the most nostalgic thing."

The look in my eyes when I looked at Brother Man from behind suddenly became panic. He just looked at me quietly.

"Did I recite it wrong?"

"Lele, how about we live here from now on?"

"not good!"

"Why, don't you like it here?"

"I want to see the falling snow in the north and the lush forests. I don't want to get stuck in this misty river and lose myself."

After I finished speaking, there was a long silence. I glanced at Brother Man. He was looking outside for a long time, and I didn't know what he was thinking about.

"However, this may be an unlikely event."

Brother Man looked at me for a long time. At first, I looked back at him, but later I couldn’t stand this burning gaze anymore, so I just looked away.

"How long will it take for Brother Man to get here?" I broke the silence first.

"Well, we're here."

Brother Man stopped the boat at the shore and pulled me into the bushes. I didn’t quite understand why we had to walk into the bushes.

I asked Brother Man, but he didn't respond. We walked outside for a long time and came to a towering tree. The tree was very big and was tied with red strips of cloth.

The tree blocked most of the light, and some light shone through the edges of the tree, making the tree seem like a god.

"What are you doing here?"

Brother Man pulled me to climb the tree. There were many branches, so it was not difficult to climb.

We soon arrived at the tree canopy, and the moment we reached the canopy I felt shocked.

The rain has stopped and the sun is shining brightly, as if the whole earth is golden and all the darkness is illuminated.

Brother Man pulled me to sit on a tree branch, and we watched the birds flying back and forth in the distance.

"This is the place I often come when I'm unhappy. Watching the sunrise makes me feel better."

Only a fool would ask him why he was unhappy at a time like this. I put my hand on his to comfort him.

I don’t know what happened, I fell asleep while sitting there. When I woke up, there was no one around me, and I was holding a flower in my hand.

"Ah, what happened? Why did I fall asleep?"

I looked at the withered lavender butterfly-shaped flower in my hand and asked, "What is this?"

I vaguely remember that Brother Man suddenly gave me a flower, and I think it was this one.

"Nannan, Nannan, Nannan?"

Nannan leaned on my shoulder and asked, "Why are you holding the butterfly flower?"

"Butterfly flower, this is a butterfly flower, it looks like a butterfly."

"But it's no longer effective. It's completely withered."

I looked around and asked, "Nannan, have you seen Brother Man?"

"Ah, I don't know. He found you and I went to bed. My teeth are sore after seeing you."
