Uncle Iceberg's Road to Collapse

Chapter 96: People in Jianghu, don't meet again

The onlookers stared fixedly at these four people.

Hangou folklore has a history of thousands of years, but it has never had such a strong and refined self-produced and sold.

The audience was as silent as death.

Qu Yao stood out from the crowd, he looked down at the onlookers who seemed to have been stunned, and was very satisfied. Qu Yao looked back at the three people behind him in satisfaction, but was suddenly shocked, and the three gifts had already run away.

Of the three people behind Qu Yao, only Tantai Lian in women's clothing was left standing there in embarrassment, but Ning Xia Jing and Shi Qiuci had turned back without turning their heads.

"Brother... Bah! Xia Jing, where are you going? And Qiu Ci!? You two come back!" Qu Yao strode out to chase, and grabbed the two fleeing with both hands.

"No, no, no... Xiaodao really can't afford to lose this person. From then on, we will meet again after walking two wide mountains and seas! Brother Qu... Let's stay together as human beings, so we can meet again in the future."

Shi Minci waved his hands again and again, and stepped back without looking back.

"Senior brother!" Seeing that he was about to be unable to hold back Shi Mienci, Qu Yao turned to pull the Tranquility Boat.

"No, no, no, don't call me Senior Brother, I'm going back to Penglai... I suddenly thought that I have to go back to apologize, I'll take a step first..."

Tranquility Zhou couldn't hold back any longer, so he covered his face and walked out of the crowd.

Seeing the morale collapsed, and the few gifts who hadn't finished their missions, they all wanted to run away. Just when the atmosphere was extremely awkward, suddenly, a lazy and shrill old mother's voice sounded from far away in the water.

"These four, I want."

Qu Yao froze for a moment, he was very familiar with this voice, and he seemed to have heard it somewhere...

Qu Yao looked back at the flower boat on the river, but saw that it was an old bustard talking, after a moment of stunned, he suddenly remembered who this person was!

The lights were dim, and where the blue waves shone, there was a familiar face stuck in powder.

"Guying in the cold river, a passer-by in the rivers and lakes, why meet each other before..."

In Quyao's ears, Ning Jingzhou's long sigh of emotion came.

Both Qu Yao and Ning Jing Zhou had seen this old bustard before.

Behind the old bustard were two girls leaning out, one had slightly crossed eyes and the other had buck teeth.But seeing the three people huddled together in a small flower boat, the old bustard was fanning the wind and smoking a bag of hookah.

These three people, Qu Yao and Ning Jingzhou have not only met each other, but also know each other very well.

Qu Chunyao cursed inwardly for committing a crime...these two girls were the two who were trapped by the Grand Canal when he just woke up.

Qu Yao covered her face, and pulled this unbearable memory out of her mind... Just after Qu Yao was reborn, in order to get the travel expenses back, Dou Dizhu tricked two girls who were picking up guests.

At that time, Qu Yao, who was penniless, not only did not pay the money, but also earned 20 taels. In order to deceive the trust of the old bustard, he even transformed into a fake Penglai disciple nameplate and bet it on the other party...

The name written on the fake nameplate is still "Tranquility Boat".

"There is really a flower boat taking us in!" Tantai Lian didn't know the complicated inside story, seeing that someone had taken us in, she didn't need to stay here to embarrass herself, she immediately felt relieved.Shi Mianci didn't know what was going on, and was about to cry with joy...

After all, the four of them were dressed as women at the moment, and they were disguised by Shi Yanci, so they couldn't see their original appearances, so it's normal that the old bustard didn't recognize him for a while, if the old bustard recognized Qu Yao , and then tell Tantai Lian the whole story, Qu Yao is probably going to die here tonight.

"Master...shall we change the boat? I see that this boat is a bit small." Qu Yao rubbed his hands and laughed, and followed Tantai Lian like a tail, desperately trying to stop his master pace.

Tantai Lian was taken aback for a moment, then she frowned and said in a low voice: "This boat is indeed not big, but if you want to find a boat that can hold you, it's a shame that tonight, I'm afraid there will be only one boat in this life." Immediately, he saluted the old bustard and walked up.

Qu Yao glanced at Tranquility Zhou, Tranquility Zhou sighed heavily, patted Qu Yao on the shoulder, and followed her up.

"Why is Brother Qu's complexion so bad? But what's the secret with the people on this boat?" Shi Minci frowned and asked Qu Yao softly.

"It doesn't matter." Qu Yao wiped his face, "It's just that if I really die here today, please ask the teacher to pick up my ashes and find a place with green water and green mountains to bury."

After Qu Yao finished speaking, like a martyr, he gritted his teeth and got on the flower boat.

Up to now, Qu Chunyao can only try his best to conceal it, play a sloppy eye, and try his best to separate himself from the three girls on the boat.

However, from the first second when he stepped into the thief boat, Qu Yao found that all his dreams had come to naught.

Inside the flower boat, Tantailian stood firmly in place, as if rooted. He squinted his eyes, and the light in his eyes suddenly became sharp. Tan Donglian looked at the framed thing on the cabin without saying a word, as if Has fallen into a certain situation.

But on the cabin, there is a sign firmly nailed with iron nails. The sign is engraved with intricate and beautiful patterns of seawater and river cliffs, and tassels made of ice silk are dropped on the sign.

On the top of the sign, there are three words "Tranquility Boat" painted in iron hook and silver.

There was a "buzz" in Qu Yao's head.

If a nameplate with a person's name is nailed to the cabin, it is somewhat confusing, but under the sign, there is a couplet with a title.

"Prostitution. Prostitution does not give money, and there is no fart for having a baby."

Tantai Lian finished reading every word, and then she turned her head silently. There seemed to be a sword in her eyes, pointing at the tip of the sword that was about to become a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, and her extremely stern eyes shot straight at Tranquility Boat.

Tranquility Boat does not do anything wrong, and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.With a blank expression on his face, he immediately turned around and looked at Qu Yao who was already sweating profusely and trembling behind him, his eyes were neither sad nor happy.

Tantailian narrowed her eyes, and seemed to understand something at that moment.

Afterwards, the sharp sword-like eyes stepped across Tranquility Boat and stabbed straight at the trembling Qu Yao.

Qu Yao felt a chill in his heart and almost fell into the river.

Shi Minci frowned and looked at the nameplate for a while, then said, "Huh? This is not written..." But before the second half of the sentence could be uttered, Qu Yao stomped on the shoe, causing pain. Master Xiaodao directly swallowed the remaining half of the sentence.

"Yo, the girls are all coming in." The old bustard blew out a smoke ring, and found that the atmosphere was a bit wrong. It seemed that these girls were all looking somewhere, and the old bustard followed their gazes and saw the wall. The hanging nameplate.

"Oh, you don't know anything about this brand." Seeing the fake nameplate, the old bustard suddenly gritted his teeth and said coldly, "If the person on this brand is caught by my old mother, I will definitely kill you." To shed his hair alive and castrate this little bastard..."

"No no...old mother..." Qu Yao took a step forward and hurriedly said: "Everyone is short on time, our sisters are short of people to take in and want to work, why don't we talk about work and ideals..."

"Yeah." Tranquility said with a blank face, "Anyway, we will definitely be able to hear this story, and we are not in a hurry."

Qu Yao squinted his eyes, and found that his once honest, honest, brave and upright senior brother had already learned badly.

When the old bustard wasn't picking up guests, she seemed to speak in the same tone and expression as an ordinary old woman.The old bustard knocked on the hookah and said: "I see that there are a lot of you, and it's a good deal to buy one and get three free, so I let you board my boat. You look at the big waist, round waist, strong body, doing odd jobs and taking care of the sick. It’s a good deal for laborers to come.”

"Handling?" Qu Yao immediately took a step forward when he heard that the chicken king's dream was shattered, "Mom, is this looking down on our sisters? Our sisters are also first-class experts when it comes to selling wine and receiving customers!"

The old bustard looked Qu Yao up and down, then looked at his half-painted face, snorted and said, "Do you think all the flower pickers on Hangou are blind? Painting it like this to receive guests, it would be nice not to frighten people half to death, but to extort my money..."

Qu Yao was about to refute, but at this moment, there was a "crash" sound in the cabin, it was the sound of a porcelain cup falling to the ground and shattering.

Immediately afterwards, an unpleasant smell of medicine wafted out.

"Zhi'er, Qin'er, what's the matter?" The old bustard frowned and asked in a raised voice into the cabin.

"Mom." The girl named Zhi'er, who had the same eyes, poked her head out apologetically and said, "It was just that I accidentally applied the medicine, and 'Hei Mu Mu' was in so much pain that he accidentally broke the medicine cup." ..."

Qu Yao looked into the cabin, but saw that there seemed to be a blackened mattress on the deck in the cabin, and there seemed to be a person lying on the mattress.

Qu Yao was stunned when he saw that person.

That man was covered in bandages almost all over his body.

But under a corner of the scorched quilt, the half of the man's unbandaged calf was exposed.When Qu Yao saw it, his heart trembled.

The calf was like charcoal that had been burned by the fire. Next to the broken porcelain piece was a half piece of gauze that had been replaced, and it was covered with black, bloodshot pimples.

Next to the quilt, the buck-toothed girl named "Qin'er" was carefully collecting the light yellow powder with her hands, and then picked up the broken porcelain pieces one by one.

"A porcelain plate sells for four coins now! Don't talk about the medicine for burns! Everything is going up in price now! You don't raise the price! Everyone is clumsy, can you be careful!?"

The old bustard began to complain about things and things.

It was only then that Qu Yao discovered that the furnishings in the flower boat were extremely simple, and the furnishings inside the boat were actually very old, and the decorations on the door were only a few fake flowers made of paper.

The madam even had a patch on her elbow.The girls were also very plainly dressed, with basically no jewelry on their heads and necks, just a few seasonal flowers.

Qu Yao pursed his lips, he always thought of himself as a hero in the world, but this was the first time he couldn't lift his head up like this, he didn't open his eyes, he didn't dare to look at the old fake flowers hanging on the door.

"Dare to ask, the one lying down is..."

Qu Yao looked at the poor man on the sickbed who was burned to the point of being indistinguishable and covered in bandages, and asked softly, without changing the subject.

The old bustard did not answer, but lightly took a sip of the hookah.

In the diffuse smoke, the old bustard looked out of the boat, the sparkling water of the Grand Canal mixed with the smell of rouge.

"You guys who just came to Guangling, don't look at the outside of Guangling, singing and dancing are peaceful and happy. But you don't know how dire the situation here is now."

The old bustard sighed softly, found a futon to put on the ponytail, and sat on it.
