Chapter 2089 Golden-headed Turtle
"This...yes, yes, I will help the young master arrange it now. Young master and miss, please. No wonder I heard magpies chirping when I got up in the morning. It turns out that there are many distinguished guests. Thank you, master, thank you, miss." The widow was so excited that she bowed her head repeatedly and made a smile. Not to mention how sweet it is.
"Mrs. Boss, please don't make it public. This is a private visit incognito. It's best not to be known to outsiders. Just arrange everything and let me know." Liang Yong couldn't let her talk any more. He warned her sternly, shutting up the widow immediately.
In her opinion, this must be a pair of eloped little mandarin ducks, dating in secret. They really cannot be discovered. She nodded quickly in understanding and looked at Li Yanran with a hint of teasing. As the saying goes, there are many disputes in front of a widow's door. This kind of Women are the most sultry and like to think about everything about the love affair between men and women, but her misunderstanding is better and helps Liang Yong hide his identity.
Otherwise, if someone recognizes them, they will be the fugitives Wen Tian is chasing with a reward of one million taels of gold, and they will suddenly become mice crossing the street and everyone will beat them up.
The widow worked quickly and led the two people into the wing. After introducing the toiletries, Liang Yong said that there was no need to prepare meals. She didn't say much. She went out and carefully closed the door and let them have a good rest. Then she went out to contact them about buying a fishing boat. Well, this is a fishing village and there are many fishing boats. As long as you pay enough to buy a fishing boat, it is not a problem at all.
The widow had only been out for two hours when she arranged for a fishing boat to come back and report the good news. This was because she deliberately lingered outside for half an hour, hoping to let the young couple linger enough to report the situation. According to her plan, they lingered for two at a time. An hour should be enough. Since she had an affair with Erniu from the same village, it took one and a half hours to finish each time. It is normal for a young person to play for half an hour longer.
But when she came back quietly and was about to knock on the door, Li Yanran had already opened the door and found that Liang Yong and the others were neatly dressed in the room, and the bedding on the bed was the same as when she left. Only then did she realize the misunderstanding. When you fall in love with someone, you think about them too directly and vulgarly. When young people fall in love, they are much more innocent than an old sister-in-law like her. Holding hands and talking can pass the whole morning.
"Young Master, Miss, I have contacted the boat. It is the boat of an old fisherman in this village. The new boat just purchased this year is fast and stable. The fishermen also said that if the Young Master is in need, he can be a boatman without any problem..." The widow When he was introduced, he naturally boasted about his achievements, but he didn't mention money again.
She only spent one or two gold to buy this boat, and she made a lot of money. Liang Yong was so generous that she would never ask for change again.
"It's great that there will be a boat so soon. Let's go take a look," Liang Yong nodded happily.
Not far from the widow's house, they arrived at the riverside. There were more than a dozen fishing boats docked at the pier. The widow showed them that it was indeed a good boat. Although it was not brand new, it was still 70% to 80% new. According to Liang Yong, It should be no problem to sail a few hundred miles as planned. After arriving here, we have entered a water town with dense rivers and lakes, but there is still 3,000 miles to go out of the Wen family's sphere of influence. Traveling by boat is indeed a labor-saving and concealed tool.
A stout man received them and walked around the boat. The equipment on it was very complete and it could be sailed after untying the cables. Li Yanran looked at these rough equipment, but she was not satisfied and asked the man to move all these things away. There was only an empty boat left, and I didn't bother to go back to the widow's house to rest. I just unmoored the mooring and set sail. I had never driven this kind of small fishing boat with oars before.
But Li Yanran knows how to use it. She swings the oar skillfully, and the fishing boat quickly leaves the dock. Once it enters the center of the river, it doesn’t take much effort. As long as you hold the oar and control the direction from time to time, you can go down the river, and you can do it every hour. The speed is about ten miles.
After that frolic in the carriage, Li Yanran became silent and did not like to talk. She also did not like to listen to Liang Yong's teasing. Liang Yong tried to approach her several times, but she coldly stared away and refused to let Liang Yong. Opportunity, but she obviously doesn't hate Liang Yong. From the increasingly resentful look in her eyes towards Liang Yong, she can read more of love and some thoughts that she doesn't want to talk about.
Liang Yong asked several times but couldn't pry the little girl's mind away, so he simply didn't bother to care anymore and lay down on the bow of the boat to sleep. Li Yanran was at the stern, with a two-meter-wide awning between them, so they talked less. , Liang used his mind to return to the Peach Blossom Fan again to communicate with Xiao Yanzi and the others, but this time he did not devote himself wholeheartedly to it. He still kept his mind outside and paid attention to the situation on the river at all times.
It's not like riding in a carriage at this time. There are masters like horsemen taking care of you at all times. Although the river is calm and peaceful, danger is always present.
The sky gradually darkened, and Li Yanran over there was already drowsy holding the oar. Although she had not spoken to Liang Yong much in the past two days, she had not rested well, and she was not as energetic as Liang Yong.
A few more hours passed like this, and it was already midnight. There were stars in the sky but there was no moon. The river was pitch black except for the sound of splashing water and the occasional splash of fish jumping out of the water.
There was a sharp turn on the river here, and Liang Yong had to go to the stern of the boat, take the oar from Li Yanran's arms, and control the direction of the fishing boat, while Li Yanran leaned on his back and continued to sleep. Only here Only then did she relax completely and show her dependence on Liang Yong.
It's a pity that this warm scene did not last long. After the fishing boat turned a sharp bend, the flow slowed down and it entered a lake. The river bank was getting further and further away, and the lake surface was getting wider and wider. Liang Yong did not need to deliberately control the direction. What happened to the fishing boat? You can't hit the shore even if you walk for a while.
But in the distance, there were bright lights. There were hundreds of large boats blocked on the lake. Large and small lanterns and Kongming lanterns in the sky illuminated the lake as if it were daytime. The figures on the boats were flashing. You could tell at a glance that there were many people, and each of them had different skills. Not vulgar.
Liang Yong's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly yelled, "Unexpectedly, the enemy actually set up a blockade on the lake, making it difficult to reach the shore quickly."
Before he could think of a countermeasure, two small boats rowed over quickly. There were four strong men on each boat. Each of them paddled steadily and powerfully. Liang Yong knew at a glance that escaping would not be possible, and he had just learned how to do it. A novice rower is no better than a single-oar coxswain. Compared with four people, he is asking for abuse.
It's definitely not possible to escape by relying on speed. You can only try to catch them and wait until they get closer.
After a while, one of the speedboats came up, but it was not the interrogation Liang Yong imagined. The leader clasped his fists and said politely: "Hello, friends, we are brothers from the Baisha Gang. Did you find any golden-headed turtles along the way from upstream?"
"What does the golden-headed turtle look like?" Liang Yong realized that the other party was not an enemy. He was relieved, but he didn't understand his question.
