The sound of calling her came from the small boat like a drop in the ocean. The sound was not loud, and it seemed that the person who called her knew that her hearing was very sensitive. Although the river was surging, the flower flipping still heard that it was Shangguan Jinnian's voice.
Hua Feng hesitated, why was Shangguan Jinnian here? This was strange enough. But what puzzled her the most was why he called her small words as intimately as before? His voice sounded without any gap or barrier.
Hua Fan felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. Why can Shangguan Jinnian disguise himself so well every time? Why can he let the boat in the river be as if nothing happened after exposing all her tricks?
"Since you can pretend and act, just act alone." Hua Bai thought fiercely, flapping her wings and blocking her ears. She didn't go to see or think about it. She crossed the river and rushed towards the direction of Jiangyu City Wall.
But after a short while, she couldn't fly anymore. She hated Bai Ze's unique sensitive and unusual hearing. This hateful hearing made her hear him clearly even if she blocked her ears. Shangguan Jinnian pretended to be too similar, and his acting skills were first-class. His voice seemed to be carrying a hook, and he had to hook her down every minute and into that small boat.
Hua Feng had no perseverance. She felt that it would be better to go down by herself than to be hooked by the sound. So she turned her direction and turned back. Dusk had already arrived, and the river breeze suddenly blew up, shaking her hair and feathers on her wings. The boat was really not big, and it was swaying with the river breeze. Hua Feng had to work hard and carefully find a place to settle down.
But before she could find a suitable place to settle down, she felt her body sinking suddenly, and a pair of arms were already placed on her neck. It turned out that Shangguan Jinnian took advantage of her unpreparedness and hooked her neck from the side and pulled her down from the air.
The boat was pitiful and swaying and not very steady. After such a big movement, the weight of the two of them squeezed into one place. The boat immediately became tilted in the center of gravity, sometimes left and right, causing splashes of water, wetting the sleeves of the two.
Hua Fei was startled and hurt again. She looked at Shangguan Jinnian in front of her at a loss, frowned, then shook his arms away, staggered his sight, and decided to change the place to go and have a breather.
But the space above this small boat was really pitiful. Apart from the narrow black-sailed cabin made of fine bamboo, the rest were the two places where the bow and stern of the boat could only stand at most.
Because Shangguan Jinnian occupied the stern of the boat, Huafeng had to run to the bow of the boat. The weight was balanced, and the boat no longer shook left and right.
"What are you doing there?" Shangguan Jinnian couldn't see her through the cabin.
Hua Feng was full of reasons that he didn't want to see him, but when he stammered, he said: "I'm afraid the boat will capsize, so it's more stable to stand here."
Shangguan Jinnian obviously ignored her answer and teased: "Okay, since Azhen wants to stay at the bow of the boat, then row the boat."
"What are you paddling..." Hua Xian was about to interrupt, but when he lowered his head, he actually saw a paddle lying on the deck.
"Boat, what else can I row? The wind is so strong that if Ah Zhen doesn't row, the boat might have to float somewhere. If it floats into the vortex, it will not come out." Shangguan Jinnian said to Huaxian through the black-sailed cabin, his tone was joking, making Huaxian feel uncomfortable all over.
Hua Feng picked up the oars on the ground, reached under the water, and rowed them irregularly. Although her skills were so poor, the boat swayed for a few times and still got on the right track, following the direction of the water flow, slowly moving forward in the center of the river.
At dusk, the gray clouds were faint, and a few crows flew across the river. The boat was smooth sailing, but the flowers were filled with reefs. Shangguan Jinnian seemed nothing, but she couldn't cooperate with his good mood that was difficult to distinguish between true and false. He had exposed everything about her. He knew that she had been deliberately using him, and she also knew that she had been holding the battle report of the red and red tears.
The trust they had just established for a while has collapsed again as they exposed each other. She wanted to force her smile, but the ridiculous sounds were stiff. It would be better not to laugh. She restrained the corners of her lips and rolled her eyes at the sunny river. She thought, why did she cooperate so much with him? Anyway, she didn't want to please him.
Shangguan Jinnian had not heard the answer from the other side of the cabin, only the sound of wood pulp shaking the water surface, "Crash--" "Crash--" "Crash--" was neither too slow, as if it was rejection, and as if it was difficult to answer.
Finally, Hua Fei found that Shangguan Jinnian was also silent. There was no sound from him coming from behind him through the cabin. "Can't be able to hold it anymore..." Hua Fei thought silently in her heart. The night crow screamed boredly, and the river water flowed through it endlessly. The wooden oars in Hua Fei's hand were almost mechanical, until her arms were so sore that they couldn't be more than enough. She was unwilling to do a moment of rest. Because she didn't want nothing to do, she would rather be tired than let the sound of paddling disappear, causing the surroundings to fall into complete silence and embarrassment.
Obviously, Shangguan Jinnian was also tactful. He tried not to mention yesterday's incident, and did not say anything else. He turned his back and watched the sharp stern smash the clear water surface, tracing the flowing light.
This small boat was bought by him on a small pier by the river outside Jiangyu City. He could have waited for her in Jiangyu City, but he couldn't wait, so he came outside Jiangyu City, but she still didn't come back, so he bought this small boat and rafted in the river.
He was not very clear about why as he grew older, he became more and more worried about her. He knew that she would definitely come back on time, but he was afraid that she would not come back. It was only one day, but he was afraid that even this short day would have some variables.
The hull, which was quite old, creaking, and there was some faint fishy fish in the cabin. The flowers were overturned and chuckled in my heart. The boat was probably the fisherman by the river. I don’t know how Shangguan Jinnian got it. Waving the oar, she could think of the original owner of this boat, which was rowing the boat every day, working from sunrise and resting from sunset, repeating simple and boring work for the simple meals of three meals a day.
The owner of the boat may also have a hardworking wife, who are about the same age, and may have lived in the same village since childhood. When the husband went out to fish, his wife stayed at home and weaved fishing against the oil lamp, guarding the stove to prepare dinner. Perhaps sometimes they would ride this small boat together to fish on the river, one rowing at the bow and the other pulling at the stern. Between the two, there was a cabin full of harvest.
She began to feel a little envy, and she became more and more convinced of the old saying, "I only envy the mandarin ducks but not the fairy." She thought that if Shangguan Jinnian and she were just fishermen in a small fishing village, they might have been together long ago. Although they would often eat but not fill their stomachs, they would not have to worry about anything other than three meals. Even if the whole world is turned upside down, it would have nothing to do with them. They only have each other in their lives, only sunrise and sunset every day, and fat fish are everywhere.
I was so imaginative that the oars in her hand had not been rowing for a long time. Without the power of the oars, under the influence of the river tide and undercurrents, the boat could no longer travel smoothly in the river. When a gust of wind blew, it began to bump left and right again.
"Be careful!" Shangguan Jinnian suddenly shouted.
Hua Fei suddenly came to his senses by shouting, and then he found that a huge rotating vortex suddenly appeared on the water not far in front of her. With the help of the wind, the vortex was getting faster and faster, and the surrounding fish and water plants had all been swept in. The vortex, like a giant wheel, was dyed pale by the white belly of the dead fish.
Hua Fan knew that it was summer now, and it was the season when vortexes in the rivers were high. I heard that at this time of year, many people died in the places around the rivers...
The wind suddenly increased, and the trees on the shore were uprooted by one by one, and the vortex suddenly expanded, like a fierce ghost, suddenly opening its bloody mouth covered with white fangs, ready to swallow the entire universe.
But in an instant, the edge of the vortex was already approaching the bow of the boat. One person was splashing with water, and both of them were all wet.
Hua Fan had never seen such a formation before, and had just woken up from her fantasy. Her brain was very hypoxia. She watched helplessly as the boat turned into debris used to plug the teeth in her bloody mouth. She raised the wooden oar in her hand, but her eyes were dull and indifferent.
Another huge wave, one person high, rolled and swelled, almost inevitably overturning in the huge waves. The water flowed over, and Hua Feng's entire sight was turned into vague by the white water splashes. His mouth and nose were washed in by the water, and he instantly suffocated. He wanted to cough but couldn't cough out. As the sky turned, she felt her body flip violently in the water flow, turning and sinking. She couldn't open her eyes, and her keenest hearing could no longer hear any sound. The surroundings were full of water plants and fish corpses, flipping violently with her and sinking rapidly.
She struggled and shouted in her heart, stretching out her arm to try to climb on something, but the one she would always be just a handful of water plants.
The bottomlessness and the sunshine were not seen. The first thing she thought of was Shangguan Jinnian. She suddenly realized that when she was about to die, she thought of him. She began to regret when she rushed towards death quickly. She regretted that she was still in a cold war with him just now, regretted that she was too concerned about dignity, and regretted that she didn't look at him when she was about to die, and there was a ridiculous cabin between them.
