Chapter 73 Big Water
Yu Xing was in a trance in the fog for a moment, and then stepped to the ground the next second.
The unclear shadows in the fog were smudged like painting pigments, and then the fog dissipated.
A burst of noisy voices suddenly appeared in his ears, accompanied by the manic sound of the wind blowing the windows, and the rumbling thunder.
As soon as Yu Xing stood firm, he put his hand on the handle of the whip and looked up.
What appeared in front of me was a crowded in the inn hall. Every table was filled with people, most of them wearing shabby, simple narrow-sleeved shirts.
At first glance, anyone can recognize their outfit and the damp smell emitted by their bodies. This should be a group of people who work on the water all year round.
They should be a group of boatmen.
At this moment, the boatmen occupied the entire hall, leaving only a small number of seats for the richer pedestrians.
There were only some white water or wine pots on their table. The waiter did not shuttle and shouted hard, but leaned against the counter and looked at the window with a sigh.
There was lightning and thunder outside the window, and from time to time, a flash of lightning flashed across, dividing the dark sky into two, and heavy rain poured down, clattering the whole house, making the whole hall full of uneasiness.
A person who was sitting by the window pushed the window frame a little bit, then looked out from the crack, and then murmured with a pale face: "It's still rising... many places are flooded."
Hearing this, the rough man sitting at the same table as him slapped the table and stood up, pretending to walk out, but was hurriedly pulled back by the person next to him.
"What are you going to do? Lao Zhang, it's so heavy rain outside, at least you can wait until the rain stops before going out!"
Lao Zhang said in pain: "When will the rain fall? Damn, my goods have not been moved away yet. If they are flooded, what will I do in the future? That is the goods I bought with all my savings!"
Similar expressions were spread all over the faces of all boatmen, and even those dressed by merchants were mourning.
"What's wrong?" Quinn asked, "No, it should be said, where are we?"
He glanced around the inn with a little interest: "Come from that door, you can actually reach such a place directly..."
Behind them was the inn stairs. When they looked at it, others would think they were tenants who had just come down from the second floor.
Someone has noticed them, but only gave them a look.
Here, the mud they had covered in before was not abrupt, because the boatmen also had it.
Yu Xing walked to the nearest window, faced the wind and rain, looked at the outside world, and then lowered his voice: "There is a dock outside. It seems that the Yejiang River has risen and flooded the dock. Those who eat the dock have to enter the inn to hide."
After he said that, he narrowed his eyes: "If all the missing people cross the gate and walk here... wait, I seem to see someone on the river!"
With the eyesight of the head of the puppet, it is difficult to see too clearly in the darkness.
He could only vaguely see the surging black water, as if there was a ship-shaped thing rising and falling with the waves.
Zhao Yijiu stepped forward, pressed him down a little, and then went over his head to look.
A few seconds later, his tone was subtle: "It's true that someone is right, and it's just a sedan girl and the others... They actually built a small boat and planned to cross the river in this kind of weather?"
Good news, although the world behind the door was unexpected, they still locked the position of the sedan girl at the first time.
The bad news is that the sedan girl is on the river, and the river water is trying to devour her, and she may lead everyone to die at any time.
"Hey, brother, why did I see someone still staying on the river? Am I dazzled?" Sheniu Quinn had already pulled a boatman to chat.
The boatman looked at his obviously foreign face, a little vigilant and a little flattering: "What you said... should be a few foreigners."
"When the water just rose, a girl was not lucky and almost swept away by the river. Fortunately, his companions rescued her for the sake of the power of the ox and tigers. She was so beautiful that she was wearing a wedding dress. She should have escaped from marriage, right? Alas, in this world, beautiful daughters can't be kept, and she will always be forced by some powerful people..."
The boatman sighed.
"Anyway, we see that she is pitiful and she is soaked all over. If she is bound to be infected with the cold, she will be ready to bring her to the inn to warm up."
"As a result, she and her companions came not long after, and looked outside and suddenly said something like 'there is a corpse'... The group rushed out, and we didn't stop them."
"The flood was already very strong at that time. The dock was full of water. We didn't have time to move our goods away. We were all rinsed now. I feel sorry!"
"Even when it's so dangerous, we all know that life is more important than money. The little girl and the people around her really don't know what they think! If there is a corpse, there is a corpse. I guess it was a drowned unlucky guy. We can pick up a floating corpse every now and then. We are used to it, and I don't know what they did in the past."
"So that's it." Quinn pondered. His conversation with the boatman did not suppress his voice. Yu Xing and the boatman around him heard it.
Boatman joined the topic one after another, either complaining about his own losses or saying that the group of girls in wedding dresses was a little strange, and I don’t know where they came from.
Although it was a mess, Yu Xing still pieced together the whole story from it.
While avoiding the corpse of the corpse, the Siren and Zhao Mou entered the inn space through the back door - and then went to the port, probably wanting to explore this hidden map.
After that, the identity of the Siren's sedan lady triggered the task of "the place where the sedan lady returns". Yejiang began to rise and eat people. It rained heavily in the sky. They were attacked by Yejiang in the port, but fortunately nothing happened.
Then they entered the inn to rest. At this moment, the old man came with the corpse of the charity village, probably the purpose was to feed Yejiang.
In order to prevent the corpses from entering the river, the Siren and the others chased each other and approached Yejiang again, and then...
There were actually not a single body, but they were also trapped on the river.
In any case, no major incident happened to this group of people for the time being. This is already a very amazing result, probably because of the help of some special functions.
Thinking about what happened, Yu Xing pushed open the inn door with the boatman's terrified eyes and raised voices, and ran out in the heavy rain.
Zhao Yijiu, Quinn and Nie Lang followed closely.
It is obvious that their respective teammates need their help!
Yejiang, which can be seen in this space, is not the same section of the river that they almost drowned in before, and the terrain here is even more dangerous.
Moreover, if the body was brought in by the old man, then I wonder if the old man who was also on the river would be the most unstable factor!
