Heaven is like a man

Chapter 4 Hibiscus Out of Water

The three of them chatted, drank, fought and fought all day long, and spent several days on the small boat.Gradually, Yu Huai also became more talkative, occasionally bickering with the thick-skinned Xu Yihang, but it was not as lively as the other two.

With a flag on the blue waves and spring water road, pass by the place where Xiao Ying sings.Along the way, the flowers and plants are gradually flourishing, the population is gradually thickening, and Yangzhou City is not far away.

At night, Xu Yihang lay lazily on the bed alone, with his head resting on his hands, thinking deeply.

"If the people from Tianmo Palace really didn't succeed, who would have stolen Ziyi? Uncle Li only asked himself to take the jade bi to Tianfang Palace, but now not only the jade bi is gone, but he doesn't know what to do. People speak lightly and still look like this..."

Thinking of this, Xu Yihang subconsciously looked down at his clothes, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in front of his eyes, and a carp jumped up from the bed.

Xu Yihang sneaked up to Ziyuan's room, and found that the lights in Ziyuan's room were still on, but it was extremely quiet inside.

Xu Yihang was wondering, Ziyuan suddenly noticed something, and shouted outside the door: "Who is it?"

Xu Yihang hastily pushed the door lightly and walked in, putting his index finger in front of his mouth to signal Ziyuan to keep her voice down.When entering the door, Xu Yihang caught a glimpse of Ziyuan writing something, and quickly put it away when he saw himself coming in.

"It's you brat again, what are you doing sneaking into my room in the middle of the night? If you ruin my young master's reputation, do you still want to stain my innocence!" Every time Ziyuan sees Xu Yihang, she is furious Come.

Xu Yihang was angry and laughed at the same time, this girl actually regarded her innocence as more important than her young master.

"Miss Ziyuan, you have misunderstood. I am visiting sincerely, and I have no other intention to ask for something important."

Ziyuan glanced at Xu Yihang with a "ghosts believe it" expression on her face, and said lightly, "What's the matter? Tell me first, let me listen, and I will decide whether to help or not."

"Miss Ziyuan, you see we are going to Yangzhou City soon. This Yangzhou City is famous for its prosperity, and Tianfang Palace is even more so.

If I still dressed like this, and went to Tianfang Palace with you, wouldn't I lose your face?You see, your young master has so many clothes, and if one piece is missing, you won't be able to tell..."

Ziyuan chuckled, but she also understood the brat's thoughts: "You are self-aware, so you want me to steal our young master's clothes for you to wear?"

Xu Yihang looked expectantly, and immediately flattered: "Miss Ziyuan is really smart."

Ziyuan smiled at Xu Yihang: "Since you have praised me so much, then I have no choice but to..."

Xu Yihang also responded with a smile on his face, thinking that the matter has been settled.

Ziyuan suddenly changed her face, and then said: "Then I have no choice but to not help! Brat, don't think about it, this girl is not a house thief, you have to go on your own."

"Stinky girl, if you don't agree, I'll tell your young master what you just secretly wrote."

Xu Yihang's kung fu of improvising and adapting to the situation is really good, seeing that Ziyuan has been hiding the letter, he immediately used it as a threat.

Ziyuan felt guilty, and unconsciously hid the paper on the table an inch deeper: "Stinky boy... forget it, I will promise you this time, but don't tell our young master that I helped you." You stole it."

Xu Yihang was overjoyed, and pretended to be weird and joked: "Of course not. But speaking of this house thief girl, what shameful thing were you writing just now? Could it be a brocade palindrome for your sweetheart?"

Ziyuan was instantly ashamed and angry, and she picked up the pen and was about to throw it at Xu Yihang: "Stinky boy, get away from me, girl, do you still want clothes?"

Xu Yihang dodged, then sneaked back to the room wisely, and Ziyuan put away the letter just because she thought she was unlucky.

The next day, Yu Huai woke up early, walked to the side of the boat with his hands behind his back, looked at the looming city gate ahead and said, "Yangzhou City should be arriving soon."

"Yangzhou City is indeed coming. As the so-called spring winds ten miles on Yangzhou Road, it is better to roll up bead curtains..."

Yu Huai heard a sentence with an extremely arty tone and content coming from behind, so he turned his head unconsciously.

When Yu Huai turned around, he saw that man was standing in front of the cabin, wearing a white dress that fell naturally, and a white jade ring around his waist. With his hairpin shining on the moon and his already warm eyebrows, he showed a refined and easy-going temperament .

The river wind blows, and the sleeves are fluttering.The jade rings strike each other and the jingle sounds, the sachet gently shakes to send the dark fragrance floating, standing by the water is really like a god.

If I hadn't seen the young man in his robes and clothes a few days ago, I would have regarded him as a literati, scholar, poet or poet.

For a moment Yu Huai was so engrossed in watching it that he froze in place.Seeing this, Xu Yihang couldn't hold back his elegant temperament any longer, and laughed out loud, "Little benefactor, have you seen enough this time?"

Only then did Yu Huai come to his senses, feeling a little ashamed, and hurriedly shifted his gaze elsewhere.Coincidentally, Ziyuan came out yawning and stretching her waist at this time, she was dazzled for a moment as if she saw two young masters, one black and one white.

Seeing that the boat was slowly approaching the shore, Yu Huai saw Zi Yuan walking out, and said as if grasping at a straw, "Girl, let's go when Yangzhou City arrives."

Ziyuan, who just woke up, was urged to go on her way, so she followed Yu Huai to the shore in a daze.

Seeing this, Xu Yihang hurriedly chased after him: "Hey! Little benefactor, Miss Ziyuan, you two wait for me..."

If you hadn't witnessed it with your own eyes, you really wouldn't believe the prosperity of Yangzhou city.If Suhang Township is like a small family with a lot of love, then Yangzhou is like a dignified and elegant lady.

The three of them slept in the open for several days, and the first thing they did after entering Yangzhou City was to find a restaurant for a full meal.Xu Yihang and Zi Yuan seemed to be going crazy with hunger, they groaned and emptied the food.

Yu Huai was quietly drinking at the side, watching the two of them sweep wildly, and looked like a god who didn't eat fireworks in the eyes of others.

As Xu Yihang recollected it, he still kept muttering: "Eating fish all day on that boat made me almost vomit, but this time I finally ate some food on land. This Yangzhou fried rice is really good... This roasted pig's trotter It's also delicious..."

Taking advantage of Zi Yuan and Xu Yihang's eating time, Yu Huai looked around and felt strange.

Although Yangzhou City has always been crowded with people, it is even more lively today.People from all corners of the world gathered in the inn, and among them were disciples from various sects.

In order to avoid complications, it is better to go to Tianfang Palace as soon as possible.

"Let's go, Mr. Xu." After drinking and eating, Yu Huai got up and kicked Xu Yihang who was beside him and said, and then walked out.

The three of them delayed for too long, and finally remembered to go to Tianfang Palace.

There is a Jingxin Lake in the city of Yangzhou, in which the surface of the lake is like a mirror, quietly portraying the scenery of the entire Yangzhou city.Walk along Jingxin Lake, and you will come to the gate of Tianfang Palace in a short time.

The three of them were walking on the road, when a woman's urgent shout suddenly came from a distance.

"Help, help, come quickly, someone has fallen into the water!"

The three of them rushed immediately upon hearing the sound, the one calling for help was a servant girl from a wealthy family, and on the other side a woman in Tsing Yi was shouting and struggling in the water.

Qian'er on the shore cried anxiously: "My lords and girls, our lady accidentally fell into the mirror lake, please save our lady quickly!"

Ziyuan, who was not good at water, immediately gave a "please" gesture, and said humbly, "You two, it's time for you to 'wait and see what happens'."

"I'm still joking about such a life-threatening matter as a girl." Yu Huai looked nervous, and while scolding Zi Yuan, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to go into the water to save people.

"Little benefactor, let me do this kind of thing." Xu Yihang stretched out his hand to stop Yu Huai, and before thinking too much, he jumped into the lake.

Yu Huai was faintly worried at first, but Xu Yihang's water quality was excellent, like white stripes in the waves.After a while, he quickly grabbed the struggling woman in Tsing Yi from behind and successfully dragged her back to the shore.

Seeing the girl go ashore, Qian'er, a maid on the bank, hurried forward to help her.The woman in the green skirt coughed repeatedly from being choked by the mirror lake water, and it took a long time before she recovered.

Xu Yihang was drenched all over, and when the spring breeze blew after he landed, he felt a little cold.Xu Yihang also pretended to cough a few times in front of Yu Huai like a cat drawing a tiger.

"Little benefactor, come and help me, I'm about to die..." After Xu Yihang finished speaking, he leaned on Yu Huai.

Yu Huai immediately saw through Xu Yihang's clumsy acting skills, and a sideways dodge made Xu Yihang almost fall.

Yu Huai said with a smile: "This is you Da Literati Xu who want to be a hero to save the beauty. I am only a pity for my soaked white clothes."

Xu Yihang jumped at nothing, full of disbelief: "Old Yu, you are not loyal enough because you are so jealous. I am not here for the hero to save the beauty. I am afraid that you will get soaked and it will be difficult to meet people when you go to Tianfang Palace. I This is obviously a hero cherishing a hero."

Xu Yihang is the only one in the world who can openly say such ridiculous things as being jealous is not enough loyalty.

With blushing cheeks, Yu Huai felt both angry and laughing, then choked Xu Yihang and said: "Then you are worrying too much. If I go to save someone, I will use Qinggong to save them, so that I won't be in such a mess like someone Go into the water."

It was the first time Yu Huai found an opportunity to choke Xu Yihang back, leaving him speechless.Really feel good, very happy.

Xu Yihang was speechless for a moment, feeling that his good intentions were being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he was busy wringing out the lake water on his body as soon as he tilted his head, and ignored Yu Huai.

Seeing that the two of them were still busy arguing, Ziyuan simply didn't bother to make fun of herself, and chose to run to care for the woman who fell into the water.

Ziyuan took a closer look, and saw the woman in the water wearing a green dress, her whole body was drenched but her cheeks were flushed, and the dripping corners of her clothes made her look even more shy.

The woman's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Ziyuan, but the temperament of the two is completely different, like a lotus emerging from water, elegant and dignified.

Seeing Ziyuan approaching, the woman in Tsing Yi was stunned at first, then saluted and thanked: "Little girl Su Jindai, thank you three for your kindness today. Tianfang Palace is nearby, why don't you please move so that my father... ..."

After hearing Su Jindai's words, Zi Yuan's eyes widened, her face was in disbelief: "Sister?"

Xu Yihang and Yu Huai also looked over upon hearing the sound.

Xu Yihang was shocked on the spot, took the opportunity to put his left arm on Yu Huai's right shoulder, shook his head and teased and sighed:

"It's over, it's over, I was the one who jumped into the lake, but your stinky girl's brain got into the water, and now she's so sick that everyone calls her sister."

Yu Huai looked at the right shoulder that had been slapped by someone, and responded coldly: "I said before that Zi Yuan and I came to Tianfang Palace to visit relatives. Could it be that you don't know yet?"

In this way, the three followed Su Jindai to Tianfang Palace.Ziyuan and Su Jindai walked in the front and talked all the way, while Yu Huai and Xu Yihang followed closely behind.

Looking at the backs of the two, Xu Yihang couldn't help exclaiming: "Girls are really unpredictable. She was the one who just shirked her resignation and refused to go into the water to save people. Why now, as soon as they meet and recognize each other, they suddenly start to become sisters." ?”

After Xu Yihang finished speaking, he habitually tilted his head, but after looking left and right this time, he couldn't find Yu Huai's figure. After a closer look, he found that Yu Huai was bending over and squatting on the ground.

Yu Huai did not listen to what Xu Yihang said just now, but noticed that Su Jindai was walking in front, and there seemed to be some unknown white and yellow objects left on the ground that the soles of her shoes stepped on.

Yu Huai immediately felt suspicious, squeezed it with his hand and took it to his nose to smell it.

"Did you find anything?" Seeing Yu Huai who was half squatting pensively, Xu Yihang also bent down to have a look.

Yu Huai put the white-yellow object in Xu Yihang's hand, Xu Yihang weighed it and noticed something strange: "This...is this a bar of soap?!"

Yu Huai nodded, got up and clapped his hands, then said to Xu Yihang: "Let's go, we will know everything when we arrive at Tianfang Palace."
